we are therefore without any certain infor-
iualiou of what has transpired between the
Russian and Turkish unities since the 4th
inst. Rumors were however current in
England at the time of the sailing of the
Atlantic that a decisive batie had been
fought near Bucharest but it was not know
which side was victorious.
Further details had been received of the
recent affair ut Altenilza on the left bank
of the Danube which was a brilliant Tur-
isli victory, in which the Russians lost
twelve hundred men in killed and wound
ed.
The Turks to the number of nearly one
hundred thousand had crossed the Danube.
The Russian commander Gortsehakoff, had
received orders horn li.e Czar to act on the
offensive.
The Turks captured eight guns, from the
Russians in tire engagement at Oltenitza on
the 4lh inst.
A Regiment, of Poles in the Russian ser
vice had manifested their disaffection to
wards tile Russians they favored the pasage
of the Danube by the Turks whom they
permitted io effect a crossing of the river
without giving die alarm.
The Turkish rieet was still in the Black
Sea and the English and French fleets in
the Sea of Marmora. Russia has laid an
embargo on Turkish vessels which went in
to effect on the 22d inst., but the Gags of
neutral Dowers are to be respected.
Count Nesselrode’s diplomatic circular
had been published and had excited strong
remarks _from the ^French’ and English
press
The Porte will have nothing to do with
any amendment of the Vienna note and in
sists in nothing short of a perfee.lv new
treaty to settle his future relations with the
Czar.
Klapka the distinguished Hungarian
general has been asigried a commaud on the
Danube, iu the Turkish service.
The Circassians continue to have succes
ses in their encounters with the Russians iu
Asia.
Louts Napoleon express himself strongly
iu favor of prompt and active operations iu
aid ot the Turks. The British government
however is disposed to vacilate.
The P russian government has given no
tice that it reserves to itself perfect liberty
of action in Eastern affairs.
Austria professes’ neutrality.

si an army stationed ip. Wallachia, is said to
be 80,000 strong; while, according to the
most reliable accounts, Omer Pasha has o.u-
Iy crossed; the Danube with a force amount
ing altogether to 36,000. The former is
abundantly supplied with horse and artil.
ierv, and the nature of the gro,und is pecu
liarly favorable for effective movements of
cavalry. Omer Pasha has no horse to
speak of. A similar disproportion exists, if
we mistake not, between, the COO tending Ar
mies ill A,sia. In point of zeal and ardor
the Turks, may have the advantage ; out in
numbers, discipline and eauipments, the
Russians are manifestly Aneir superiors.—
Nor must it be forgotten that the Russian
troops actually DAgaged in the present con
flicts are uiem detachments from the stand
ing army ot the Czar; that he could double
them at a moment’s warning; that he runs
‘\o risk of lacking money or supplies; that
his army is in excellent traiuing and disci
pline; while on the other hand, the Turks
are straitened for means, mu->l have drawn
heavily on ther people for the present lev
ies, and whatever may be said of their cour
age, have as yet earned no claim to distinc
tion for nvlitarv skill.
These considerations gave peculiar sig
nificance to our news' respecting the atti
tude of Russia. On the third of Novem
ber, the day on which the Turks crossed
opposite Oltenitza, the Czar issued a proc
lamation, in which he solemnly announces
that ‘‘Russia is provoked to combat, and no
other means is left us thau a recourse to
arms, to compel the Ottoman guv eminent
to respect treaties, and to obtain from it re
paration for its offences.” Taken iu con
junction with the facts we have related,
tins manifesto would seem to close the door,
finally, to all attempt at negotiation, and
utterly to preclude all hopes of a restora
tion of peace.
From other quarters, we learn that Nich
olas is taking niearures to countercheck lin
gland’s anticipated interference in the quar
rel. A rumor had been telegraphed, in
advance of the India mail, to the effect that
an alliance had been formed betweeu tlie

This question has been brought before

think thau exists among the people, whose
convenience would not be at all consulted

necessity for gathering the people en mass
at the Capitol, or if they were in the habit
of leaving their homes and posting them
selves off to the Capitol to overlook its scenes
in and out of the sessions of the General

Legislature with its inconvenience and inac

Tbe War iu WuI3a.cbia—TSsrcaf-
eitiug i^osiiiion oi liussia.
The news from Turkey by the Washing
ton and Canada, is startling'aud highly im
portant. The Danube lias been crossed a-
fresh, at three points—Giurgovo, Olteuit-
Za, aau Kalaracii—‘by Omer Pasha’s army ;
aud at Ulteuitza an encounter has taken
place iu which the Russians was defeated,
with a loss of lbJ killed and nearly 500
Wounded. The number ut troops engaged
appears to have been 18,000 Turks, and
aorue 9,000 Russiau* under General Porloff.
Five Russian officers had already arrived at
Constantinople as prisoners of war. There
are rumors that Giurgovo, and even Bucha
rest had Deeu stormed by ihe Turks. What
ever credit the statement may obtain, it is
now certain that Omer Pasha is master of
the uoitli litleralof the Danube. Lie has for
tified Kalefat on the far west, and left a gar
rison of 12,000 ineu there. If Giurgovo
has not fallen into his bauds, 2,000 men
besiege it. Oltenitza is his, with 18,000,
aud Kalaracii is occupied by 4,000 troops.
From Oltenitza and Giurgovo good road-
lead directly to Bucharest, which is only
some forty live miles distant from the for
mer aud forty from the iatjer place. Flush
ed with victory, there is no doubt that the
Turks will.advance, if they have not already
done so, upon the headquarters of Prince
GortscCakotf. Now that liie hostilities have
began in earnest, Omer Pasha caunot but
follow up his summons with vigor and res
olution. Thus far, fate lias favored his cause.
Nor are his exploits the only Turkish tri
umphs of which we hear. As was expected,
the courier which was dispatched to the ar
my iu Asia, with the news of the armistice
arrived too late to prevent the commence
rnent of hostiliti s; aud here again the
Turks have been victorious. Our accounts
are somewhat confused, but it appears that
Selim Pasha, the Turkish General, crossed
tho frontier, invaded the Russian territory,
and gave battle to the enemy at some point
opposite Baltoum. Five 'thousand men
lucre engaged, without decisive resuits.—
Subsequently, however, a second engage-
MlcMt is said to have taken place at Oionck
Defy, when 15,000 Russians were defeated,
and the Russiau position of Ordio taken.
The Russian force is said to have fallen
