Vrc had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Campbell on Friday afternoon. His eloquence appears to consist in a plain demonstration ol historical facts, and his sarcasm of that involuntary kind which is more pleasing than harsh.

Scat of war Extraordinary intelligence from the frontiers of Moldavia, Feb. 9th, announced a rumor ol a ter iblc defeat sustained by the Turks before Varna on the 22d of Jan. in which they were said to have lost 15,000 men, and 100 pieces of cannon; in consequence of which they were enabled to surprise Tournoul, five days afterwards. Hut this news was consideied apochryphal. The papers contain a bulletin from Count Langeron, Commander in Chief of the Russian troops in Wallachia, dated Bucharest, the 26th ult which contains details of an at tack on Kali and Tournoul, which event has already been mentioned in this paper, though no particulats were given. The former is described as an important fortress, the cap ture of which would have required a regular siege in summer, and which appears on the present occasion to have made a brave though inetTectural resistance What rendered its capture more easy in winter than in summer, is neither mentioned nor hinted at ;

hut according to trc Kussian account, which, however, must be taken with some exceptions, in was scaled and taken in less than an hour. Thirty cannon, five standards, and a great quantity of ammunition, fell into the hands of the conquerors; and a Pacha, along with 60 officers and 350 soldiers, are said to have been taken prisoners. The number of the kilUd on the Turkish side is stated at 250, while, according to the same version of the matter, the Russians had only officers and 80 men killed, and 250 wourded The Turks performed such prodigies of valor, as hav e not been realized since the days of chivalry. They were all put to the sword. Under a Constantinople date of January

25' h, as a set ofTto the foregoiing rumors of

Russian successes, there is one of an attack

made on the 13th, by a Turkish detachment

commanded by Ibraham Pacha, on the Rus

sian cantonments at Kouslidcha, at the foot of

the Balkan, in which it was said the Russians

were driven from theit entrenchments into

the mosque, which was fired by the Turks There was another vague rumor of an at tack made by the latter on Paravadi. I he

former account made the Russians lose 900

men, and seven pieces of cannon. The re

ception of the news exhilarated the spirits of

the Ca avan, which was setting out for Mec ca, and offering up enthusiastic petitions for

the success of the Turkish arms It is said at Jassy, that the Russians will advance towaulsthe Danube, about the be ginning of March, and that the Imperial Court will arrive about the same time at Jassy. The campaign will be opened by the siege of Siiistria. Four divisions of the first army were to en ter Moldavain 15 day, and to be followed by others. Several detachments of troops and transports, with recruits trom Bassarabia had already began to pas3 the Piuth. Paris. March 2. It is understood by the last letters from Constantinople that the Porte has not yet consented to declare a cessation of hostilities in the Levant, although upon this declaration depends the return to that capital of the am bassadors of England and France. The Sultan has said he will not send troops to the Morca, but this is not considered sufficiently explicit. man Darikn, (Ga ) March 25 The tu.vsh at Pico creek, and for several miles nearer to the sea, may be termed a bed of cypress logs and roots the latter in the erect position in which they must have grown, and many of them very large, show ing conclusively, that what is now a bald marsh, or fen, without bush or tree, was once a cypress swamp, beyond the reach of salt water. The depth of the logs and stump3 below the present surface, and'the height to which the tides now rise, place the fact beyond cavil, that the former surface of this tract was higher than now, or that the level

of the adjoining sea was lower. If the land has sunk, it is necessary to imagine the agency of such an earthquake as sunk parts oi the alluvial country about New Madrid and other places on the Mississippi in 1811. But if such an agent be rejected, and it be insisted that the sea on the coast ha3 risen, an explication will perhaps be found in aupposing, with Byron Edwards and others, that the peninsula of Florida wa3 connected with the larger West India islands, until the waters of the Atlantic, driven to the west by the trade winds, attained to so great a height in the Gulf of Mexico that they forced a passage ovcr the low land between Florida and Cuba,

and formed the Bahama channel and Gulf

stream. Such a convulsion of nature might, by creating a powerful current a current hat exists along our shore, raise the waters of the sea, and throw them upon the land, so as to destroy the swamp forests of which we have been speaking. Whether the sea will continue to encroach until it shall have swept away our island bar riers, and be lashing our naked shore as it now beats on those cf Florida, is too deeply buried in the womb of futurity for our peneration to glance at.
