It appears from the French financial accounts, that the expen-
diture for the year 1828, was rather more than forty-one millions sterling ; being an excess beyond the income of considerably more -than.174 millions of francs,- which has to be added to the floating debt. The expedition to the Morea cost upwards of twenty mil- lions of francs ; and the futile blockade of Algiers twelve millions. The expenditure of 1829, is estimated at equal to 39,000,000/.
It appears by accounts from Servia, that the Russians effected the reduction of Tournoul, like Varna, as much by dint of gold as of valour. The three Magistrates who carried the account of the capitulation to Tchassan Og-lou were beheaded. The commander of the fortress has taken up his abode with the Russians.
