FOREIGN NEWS.

By arrivals at Boston and New York, London papers to the 27th, and Paris to the 5th July, inclusive, are received. The following articles, chiefly extracted from the Boston Centinel, furnish all the news of importance contained in them.

According to accounts of the 4th July, given by the Augsburg Gazette, movements are made by the Russian army which seemed to indicate that operations are about to be attempted on the other side of the Balkan. It is said that Gen. Pahlen has marched for Eski Stamboul, and that the Commander in Chief hopes soon to establish his head quarters at Karnabat, from whence he would march upon Bourgas to attack Hussein Pacha, who has collected a numerous army in the environs, computed at 60,000 men. Gen. Diebitsch would then march towards Adrianople. The troops of Gen. Krassowsky, become disposable since the surrender of Silistria, are in part about to be employed against Rutschouk. The Russians are occupied in repairing the fortifications of Silistria, and establishing a bridge over the Danube to have a nearer and more direct communication with the principalities. The capture of the Turkish Flotilla affords them great facilities in this respect.

The Augsburg Gazette contains the following intelligence of the 25th June, from Constantinople: 'The English and French Ambassadors have already received costly presents from the Porte to bid them welcome, according to the ancient custom. The present made to Mr. Gordon consisted of Arabian horses magnificently caparisoned, and that offered to Count Guilleminot was superb shawls. Their audience of the Sultan will take place shortly. They have already had two conferences with the Reis Effendi; the explanations on both sides were most amicable, and relations now appear completely re-established between the Porte and the Courts of France and England. Silence is maintained upon the late events at Shoumla, and the authorities exercise the utmost vigilance to prevent the defeat of the Turkish troops being a subject of conversation. Some persons who had the imprudence to talk of it in a tavern at Pera, were arrested and cast into prison: and the tavern keeper having ventured to defend his guests, paid for his temerity with his life. The Government publishes no bulletins, but circulates rumors by its agents, and woe to those who contradict them! Thus it was sought to misrepresent the issue of the battle of June 18: but fugitives from Shoumla, who came to Adrianople, spread alarms by announcing that the army was completely routed, and at the camp of Shoumla 40 men a day die of dysentery. It is stated that the Russians are making great preparations to pass the Balkan and attack Bourgas. The people, nevertheless, are tranquil. In his recent excursion the Capitan Pasha avoided meeting the enemy, and confined himself to cruising along the coast. He entered the Bosphorus as soon as he perceived that Admiral Greig endeavored to draw him out into the open sea; but the presence of the fleet protects the arrival of subsistence by the adjacent ports, and this, without doubt, was the object of the cruise along the coast. The blockade of the Dardanelles by the Russians continues very strict. Admiral Heiden visited Mr. Gordon on board ship when the vessel which conveyed him to Constantinople, was off Tenedos. No news has been received recently from Asia. In Egypt, trade is in a state of total stagnation. The Viceroy has conferred on his son, Ibrahim Pasha, the command of his fleet, the destination of which is unknown.'

Constantinople, June 20. Nobody is talked about here but the French and English Ambassadors, Count Guilleminot, and Mr. Gordon. They were welcomed as Angels of Peace by the populace, and have received very rich presents from the Sultan. The arrangements for their official introduction to the Sultan are now nearly completed, and it will be at this interview that the great object of their return to our capital will be disclosed, and the determination of our government be announced. Prospects of peace, however, exist more in the imagination of calculators than on any thing tangible. The wisdom of the Sultan is universally admitted; but it is also known, that his holiness and confidence of eventual success in the war are stronger than his wisdom or fears. He prefers peril to dishonor. It is known that the Sultan will not deign to listen to any terms of peace dictated to him—and has been heard to say, that the war has not yet been seriously waged by him; that he has yet to take the field in person, display the sacred banner of the Prophet, call on all the faithful to follow it, and to conduct the entire nation, against its insolent invaders. It is certain, that the utmost activity reigns in his camp and capital; that the resources of the empire are daily developing, and that troops are assembling from various quarters; and this very day no less than 7000 men left the camp under the command of the Seraskier Pasha, to join the active army.
