THE FIELD. 
The Bashi-Bazouks constitute a corps of irregular Turkish 
cavalry. They como from all points of the erap.rc and from 
every Mussulman territory. Among : them may be found 
Asiatic Turks. Kurds. Tcl.erkcss, Egyptians, rnpoliU ««, 
Tunisians, Algerian Arabs, and Kubyles. These wild 
people, with their native costume, form the most varied and 
picturesque groups Unit can be imagined. These men jo 
the war for pillage and destruction and we must avow that 
they arc by nature admirably hited tor their employment. 
With their magnificently draped rags they might pass lor the 
bandits of Salvator Rosa. They look well at a distance when 
coin" through their evolutions, but when seeing them ditt o 
from" the depths of a forest more than one valorous heart 
would heat with emotion. . . 
W ithout discipline, obeying only the chief of their choice; 
without pay, ai d consequently without the means of subsist- 
ence, — these soldiers are of necessity pillagers. All the 
country between the Fortified positions of the Turks and the 
advunced posts of the Russians lias been ravaged by them. 
Still these men arc susceptible of discipline, and we doubt not 
with cucrgetic leaders and u pay which shall place them be- 
yond t lie reach of absolute want, they may become a regular 
and effective corps for scouring the country, l or this pur- 
pose several hundred have arrived at Varna from the advanced 
posts ; others will follow to the amount of 4,000. They arc to 
receive tenpence a day and a ration of barley ami bread. 
With these means they will provide for themselves and their 
horses. '] he-c conditions are so favourable for people habit- 
uated to procure what they nerd by force, that there is every 
reason to believe that all thut is required of them, both 
morally mid physically, may be achieved. 
THE WAR IN EUROPE. 
RETREAT 01*' THE RUSSIANS. 
The evacuation of the Pj incipulities by the Russians must 
he for strategic reasons, as no official communication of the 
fact has been made by the C/.ar to the Au.-tiian Government. 
The Diplomatist Gortschukoff has been informed that after 
the Emperor of Austria bus joined the onny no fm|lier nego- 
Ciations relative to tile evacuation of the Principalities can ho 
carried on. On the 27th of July the Russians quitted, and 
the Turks occupied, Fra resell ti. The Russian* wore retreating 
in forced marches to Schejava, and thence to Poposoti and 
Obilesclitj, with all their artillery and waggon trains. Tho 
Bucharest hospitals wero to be evacuated by . tl»e evening of 
the 29lh. Oiteiiitzu was evacuated by the Russians during the 
night of the. 27th, after the fete do punt and the bridge of bouts 
lmd been destroyed. The Turks immediately, occupied the 
island opposite Kaiarasch. On the 28th, the Russian army 
quilted kalugcreni, and in the evening were to bivouuc be- 
tween the Argisii and Subun. Their artillory carriages, hos- 
pital and baggage trains were leaving on parallel roads towards 
the Seretli. The complete evacuation of Bucharest was to ho 
effected on the 31st of July. During this retreat or flight Hie 
thermometer was 104 in tho shade. 
At Bucharest, on the 27th of July, the Turks were expected 
in two or three days, and will have h splendid reception. The 
P rente state.*, under date Belgrade, August 1, thut according 
to a despatch from the Turkish head-quarters, (he Russians 
are leaving Walluchiu in three columns. Tho province is to 
have an army of occupation of Turks and Austrians. 'Hie 
immediate evacuation of Moldavia is not expected. 
THE WAR IN ASIA. 
Kars, July 20.— On tho 2nd July a severe battle was mo- 
mentarily expected : the whole of the Russian corps stationed 
at Aloxandropol had quitted their camps, and marched towards 
Kars, but to the great disappointment of the Turks, three 
hours ufier, they thought better of it. and returned to their 
stronghold. Two days previously the Ba.shi-Bazouks, under 
Email Pasha, had severely handled a regiment of Cossacks, 
and carried off sixty lidive/, which are now safely piqueted at 
Kars Choi. Nothing can exceed the high spirits of the Otto- 
man soldiers. 
NAVAL OPERATIONS IN THE BLACK SEA. 
Dates from Constantinople to tho 24th of July state, that 
a strong body of the allied troops hud gone in fifteen ships 
from Bultshik to Anapu.

while raising the engines of the Tiger. 
In the arsenal of Constantinople many gun-boats are being 
fitted out.

A PIRATE OR PRIVATEER SEEN OFF THE 
WEST INDIA ISLANDS. 
A letter received from St. John's, Porto Rico, states that the 
British sloop Sea Flower, from Ilayti, reports having been over- 
hauled on the 28th of June, 2.3 miles west of this island, in the 
Mona passage, by a fast sailing schooner of about 12.3 tons, 
armed with a long brass gun(18-poundcr on a pivot) and twosmalj 
guns on each side, manned by GO or 70 white men, speaking all 
languages ; showed no colours, but had on deck a blue signal 
flag' with a red square in it. The Sea Flower was detained for 
n dav and a half, was robbed of coils of cordage, and the 
captain’s coat was stolen by one of the men. A ship and a brig 
heaving in sight the sloop was east off', and the schooner made 
towards them. She was supposed to be either a pirate or a pri- 
vateer. 
TnB Preble.— 1 The United States’ sloop of war Preble, S, Com- 
mander Thomas T. Craven, from Norfolk, and last from Plymouth, 
arrived lit Spitliend on Saturday morning, and saluted the national 
flug, the Port-Admiral, nnd the United States Consul, Jlr. Pnppn- 
Inrdo, hv whom the commander Ims been introduced to the naval 
ami military authorities to pay Ids respects. The Preble lias 3G 
naval cadets on board, who will l>o practically instructed in nil the 
duties of seaumneliip on tho voyage, mid sailed from Spithcml on 
Tuesday, for Cherbourg and Brest, and (hence to, tho United States. 
Yarmouth. — H.M.S. Hornet, 17, Captain Campbell, sailed from 
Yarmouth on Saturday going eastward : she is intended to reinforce 
tho White Sea Squadron. ( Has returned to Shoerness. — E d.] 
Greek I.nsuuuknts and Pi rates.— Rotters from Athens give 
aoino details of tho capture of the 150-ton vessel, tho Thessalia, by 
tho squadron of Admiral Bnrbjcr do Tenan, near Volo. The vessel 
belonged to Effendouly, brother-in-law of Dr. Costi. Munitions 
of war and a sum of S0,00t)f. in gold were found on board. It is 
not denied that tho vessel was proceeding for the purpose of re- 
newing the insurrection, and letters that prove the complicity of 
M. Philipe, tho king's librarian, were discovered on board. The 
Admiral insisted on treating the crew of (ho vessel ns pirutes, but, 
owing to tho entroalics uud remonstrances of the representatives of 
the German Powers und tho Frenoli Ambassador, the matter was 
left to be decided by the Courts. Had they been declared pirates 
they would, in all probability, have boon hanged or shot. Tho 
certainty acquired as to the real character of tho ship nnd oilier 
circumstances, tending to show that the Court was still engaged in 
conspiracies, had produced ,oq unanimity of opinion between the 
French and English Ministers as to the absolute necessity of chang- 
ing i\\e personnel of the royal household. 
PouTSMOutu, July 22. — Gallant Conduct of a British Naval 
Officer. — On Thursday afternoon one of tho lads belonging to her 
Majesty’s ship lllustiious, 46, Capt. Harris, received n letter, the con- 
tents of which were of such a nature as to determine the rash young 
man to commit sclLdestruclion. lie consequently jumped out of 
one of tho ports into tho sea. Most fortunately tho splash was 
hoard by Lieut, ftlurcus Lowtlicr, additional lieutenant on board 
tho Illustrious, who instantly sprung from the stern gallery, a height 
of 30 feet, and grasped the hapless lad as he was about to sink, and 
thus had tho satisfaction of saving the life of a fellow creature. 
Harbour OF Refuge. — A letter from Naples stales that work- 
men nro now employed in forming u harbour of refuge, which mer- 
chant vessels will be able to enter, when prevented by had weather 
from getting into the Buy of Naples. The first idea of this port 
was suggested by the late Admiral Baudin, who, during a short 
residence at Ischia, made the necessary surveys, und submitted 
them to the King of Naples, by whose orders the works have been 
now commenced. 
Alleged Outrage on Board an Emigrant Sriir. — ' The New 
Orleans Delta ot the 4th lias the following respecting an nllcged 
outruge by tho crew of an emigrant ship from Liverpool : — “ Wo fast 
evening heard rumours of gross out rages and consequent excitement 
in connection with an emigrant ship from Liverpool, which arrived 
yesterday. Tho entire ship's company, with the exception of the 
captain, mate, and carpenter, are charged with the most fiendish 
outrages upon the iemulo passengers during the passage. We hear 
that u body of the friends and countrymen of the emigrants, highly 
excited, proceeded to the ship, attacked the negroes, and threw 
some of them overboard. Wo refrain from mentioning (he name of 
the vessel until wo obtain further particulars.” 
Pirates in the Straits of Scio.— Falmouth, July 23. —The 
Sarali dole, from Trieste, which was boarded and plundered by 
pirates in the Straits of Scio, previously to the 27th April, was 
spoken 4th July, in lut. 37 N., long. 10 W., and supplied with pro- 
visions und clothes, by the Iron Gem, Scott, arrived hero. 
Tiie Danube.— On the 10th, according to a telegraphic despatch of 
tho 18th of July, the Anglo-French were busily engaged in remov- 
ing the sunken ships in tho Snlina and Kilia mouths. The Russian 
batteries were being restored by the English. The Russian Danube 
flotilla, consisting of 25 serviceable steamers and 36 gun-boats, is 
said to have no chance of escape, and must inevitably lull into the 
hands of tho English and French, unless the Russians prefer to 
blow up these vessels. 
Baltic. — Jlr. I. A. Cary, mate of the Magicienne, has been dis- 
missed the service by sentence of a Court-martial holden on board 
the Neptune on the 11th inst. 
Toulon. — The Sentinel of Toulon announces that the Curavane 
nnd Egerie transports arc preparing for tho embarkation of more 
troops for the East. Two new ships of the lino (the Algcsirns nnd 
Eylnu) are advancing rapidly. They arc both fitted up with screws, 
and will be ready for sea, should the war continue, within six 
months. 
CincASSiA. — In the bay of Noworossnsk, where Admiral Brunt 
arrived on tho 8th of July, the anchorage is tho host on tho Circas- 
sian const — 150 feet depth of water. The report from Varna of tho 
landing of 7,000 French troops in this hay, and (lie joking of the 
Forte 3Ionte Nako, will probably be confirmed by the next des- 
patches from Constantinople. 
Tue Dcoubsclin. It appears that on tho retreat from Cronstadt 
to Baro Sounds, her Majesty's ship tho Duke, of Wellington was in 
advance, and >vas closely fqflowod by. the French line-of-bnttlc ship 
Duguesdin. The Duke of Wellington, at a very niodeyivte speed, 
ontqred Baro Sounds, and proceeded leisurely aiid safely to take 
up her uncliorago. The Dugucsclih, in flowing, deviated a few 
yards, nnd only n few yards, from the direct lino taken by her 
precursor, nnd ran upon a polished incline plane of granite. The 
qprauon of the sen, or sojne other natural cause, lmd rubbed away 
every point from the granite rock, and tho Dugucsclin fqrccd her-, 
self slowly up the inclined plane, until, inmend of having 23 feet 
water, us is her usual draught, .she was broughtup, fixed, withonly 
17 feet water above, her keel. All hep guns and , heavy stores 
wero taken out. Large nngjwr* wero taken astern, and purchased 
on from the 6hip, and hawsers were made, fust to foinc of the most 
powerful steamers, tylijch endeavoured, to draw her down tho 
inclined plane. After 19 hours’ incessant Inbour, (bo Duguesclin 
was oneo more nlloai, without having received any damage of 
material consequence.

The Russian three-master Orion, sailing under Tuscan colours, 
which was captured off Leghorn hv the French steam-sloop Avcrne, 
was brought into Toulon on the 19th inst. 
By advices received from the White Sea it appears her JInjcsty’s 
squadron had captured some Russian vessels, corn-laden, as also a 
war schooner called the Wolga, which have been sent home to 
England for condemnation. Two French ships-of-war, (lie 
L’oaumanoir nnd Psyche, have joined tho rendezvous at Iiamcrfest.

THE FRENCH NAVY AND MERCHANT SERVICE. 
Dantzic, July 19. — The French man-of-war steamer Lucifer has 
just sent a boat on sliore. AH that can at present be learned from 
her is, that the Lucifer left tho combined fleets at anchor in Baro 
Sound on Saturday. Several frigates were detached cruising 
on tho coasts of Finland, but no action of any kind lmd taken 
place. 
Stavanger, July 7. — Tho French brig-of-wnr, Beaumanoir, 
of 10 gnus nnd 130 men. Captain do Morelles, arrived here 
yesterday. Tho French frigate, Psyche, which lias been lying 
here for three weeks, sailed on the 4th instant for the rendezvous 
at Hammerfest, to join the combined squadron for tho White 
Sea. 
Marseilles, July 22. — Tho cholera increases in intensity daily 
in our unfortunate" city. The deaths yesterday unregistered l 
were 1G5, and last night the mortality was frightful. To add to 
our misfortunes, the typhus fever, and a disease called “ lejievre 
milliaire,” which decomposes the blond in a few minutes, are 
committing great ravages amongst (lie middling classes. Emigration 
continues on a largo scale ; nearly 100,000 persons have quilted the 
city. In the military hospital there is between 500 nnd GOO sick; 
the deaths are considerable. Our authorities are doing all they 
can to take from the view of the inhabitants the frightful spectacle 
of the numerous burials. The military pre conveyed in an ambu- 
lance to the burial ground, constructed in haste, and able to 
convey ton bodies. The rest of the burials ure performed during 
the night. The churchyard 1ms been found not to possess sufficient 
space to bury the poor, ami bodies half consumed have been dug up 
and burnt, to make room for the new comebs. it is reported to-day 
that the plague has broken out on board a vessel in Toulon harbour. 
Several deaths have been already recorded, and the vessel sunk in 
the roads. Eleven n.in. — The cholera is officially announced at 
Toulon. 
STEAMERS. 
Tho Industry screw steam storeship, Master-Commander Bradley, 
arrived in Plymouth-sound on Friday evening, the 21st, with her 
coal-bunkers on fire. On her passage from Woolwich she narrowly 
escaped the fate of the unfortunate Jasper. When off Margate 
smoke was observed rising from the boilers, and holes for the ad- 
mission of water were immediately cut in the deck efich side of the 
funnel, and the engine set to work. This had tlio effect of sup- 
pressing tho fire, but, whenever extra power was necessary, it re- 
commenced. The Industry is iron built, of G40 tons, and was 
originally intended to carry coal, for which purpose she has a largo 
hold forward. The midship plate of the coal bunker, instead of 
being five, or six feet is only two feet from the funnel, nnd thq deck 
is much too close to tho boilors. Whenever there was occasion to 
force. (he necessary pressure in tho engine-room something took 
fire, and through this the laggings or linings of tho b filers were 
consumed, and tho coal in the bunkers was ignited. On Saturday 
afternoon, after being surveyed, she left I’lym'nulh-snuml for the 
dockyard, where she was inspected by Admiral Superintendent 
Stopford, Mr. Turner, and other officers, when fire was again dis- 
covered in t he engine-room, to which the dockyard hose was im- 
mediately conveyed, ller funnel is in front of tho nminrnust, from 
which it is only seven feet distant, so that no sail ant bo hoisted on 
this mast; nnd during tho Channel passage, in popsequence of llio 
copper not coming low enough down, it became, necessary to ti'. 
some tin plates in front to prevent the spnr from taking lire. Tho 
Industry is bound for the Black Sen. 
Liverpool, Sunday Evening.— The Europe has arrived from 
New York with advices to the 12th, ami 853,070 dollars in specie. 
She spoke both tho steam-ships Asia nnd Pacific. Tho Com- 
mittee on Foreign Relations had reported hack the fishery mid 
reciprocity treaty. Californian advices aro to the Juno lGtlt. Among 
the despatches from Commander Perry was the Japan treaty. Nmv 
nnd rich diggings had been discovered nt Kern River. Trade hod 
been moderately active. The Star of the West had arrived with 
upwards of 1,000,000 dollars of Californian gold. 
Six hundred negroes had been landed at Unvanna by the 
American vessel Gray Engle, which vessel was afterwards cap- 
tured by an English cruiser, and finally surrendered to a Spanish 
man-of-war. 
The French nnd British squadron had been reinforced. The 
French Admiral Duquesne, died on the 3rd. 
The Russian frigate Diana lias left tho Sandwich Islands for 
Sitka. Shortly before her departure, her Majesty’s sloop of war 
Trincomaleo arrived and anchored alongside her. 
Bagdad. — Ruchid Pasha is nt present engaged in establishing o
