LATEST FROM ENGLAND &
IRELAND.
The gentleman (Mr. Pye) who came in the ship -, arrived in the Delaware from London, and bears Dispatches to government, has politely lent the editors of the American a London paper, "The Day," of September 12—from which we make the following hasty Summary And Extracts:
Accounts of the war between the Russians and Turks are somewhat contradictory—but events have been evidently favorable to the former, who had laid siege to Varna, a Turkish Town in Bulgaria, on a river of the same name: which disembogues into the Gulf of Varna, on the Black Sea—distant only 145 miles from Constantinople. The fate of Turkey was supposed to depend on that of the Grand Vizier's army, which was retreating rapidly to Adrianople. The Pacha of Nissa in Servia, was also defeated.
In these alarming disasters we are told that "the Grand Seignior displays uncommon energy. In a new proclamation he has declared that every Mussulman capable of bearing arms, who will not range himself under the standard of Mahomet to fight for his country and religion, shall be considered and dealt with as unbelievers."
