The Emperor of RUSSIA has been in personal danger. His
collar-bone was broken—by the upsetting of his chariot, as it is officially stated, between Penza and Tambof, in Czembor, on the 7th of last month. But it is rumoured that an attempt was made to murder the Czar. It will be difficult to ascertain which story is the true one. The last bulletin is dated September 11th, and an- nounces that his Majesty "feels himself perfectly well ; that the ends of the broken part are in their due pouition, and that it may be Loped they will be very soon united." Intelligence from Constantinople has been received, according to which, the Russians, after a series of minor defeats, had suc- ceeded in gaining a decisive victory over the tribes of the Cauca- sus. Perhaps it is for this war that the new levies are wanted. The Swabian Mercury mentions that a report is prevalent in the Russian army on the Polish frontier, that they are to fight some- body, somewhere, next spring.
