SECOND SUPPLEIIENT TO THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES: SECOND EDITION. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH•] --- Northern Daily Times Office, Eight O'clock, a.m. EASTERN WAR• BUCHAREST, NOVEMBER 22. General Luders, commander of the sth Russian corps is expected with 3,000 men. The Emperor has ordered forty officers of his guard to proceed to Wallachia, and to do duty with the various regiments. ViENNA, SUNDAY. Our &Erna correspondent writes on November 29th, that the Russians had assumed the offensive, and thrown a bridge across to the island between Guirgevo and Rustchuk, and erected several batteries, apparently intending to cross there. General Luders had concentrated great forces at Brailow to cross there also. The Van-guard of Osten-Sacken had arrived. The Times states that no communication from the Emperor of Russia to the French and English governments, cutting short all further negotiations, and referring the decision of the Eastern Question to the fortune of war has been received. The co rrespondent of the Times writes from St. Petersburg :—" The advices from Warsaw are to the 24th of November. It is clear that the aspect of affairs is viewed there with extreme anxiety and apprehension, and that the Emperor finds himself in a position of unequalled difficulties and embar rassments. His troops have been defeated on the Danube on every occasion. Matters in Asia look even worse, giving great reason to expect that the Turkish successes will lead to a general insurrec tion in the Caucasus. Prince Woronzow's commu nications by sea and land are threatened to be cut off, and the Prince himself is seriously, even dan gerously ill. If the Emperor t u rns his thoughts west ward, he finds there no satisfaction. There is now reason to believe that positive and definite engage ments have been agreed to by the Four mediating Powers, pledging them to submit to no change in the Territorial arrangements of Europe. Probably another fortnight will elapse before it is known with certainty,' whether the belligerents accep ry for t or refuge the invitation to se nd a ppotentia a conference of the other Four Powers ; and in the meantime we must expect the continuation of military operations. The Russians seem rather intent on preparing for a long struggle than on striking an immediate blow. The army in Poland has not moved, but the number of conscripts required has been increased by several thousands, and persons have been seized, even in their own houses, and pressed into the ranks for 25 years ser vice. According to all previous experience of Russian armies entering into a campaign, several months will elapse before the Emperor can be prepared to take the field with such forces as he marched into Hungary, in 1849. These various circum stances, and the scarcity of money which begins to be felt, are said to have produced MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1853. a very unfavourable effect on the Emperor's mind. The confidence which existed between himself and his oldest counsellors, and even with his own family, is shaken and impa ired ; his conduct is wayward; and we have no more of that popular enthusiasm for war in Russia which was said to be urging the government to the most violent measures. If this be a faithful picture, as the Times believes it is, of the state of opinion at the court of St. Peters burg, nothing can be further from that vigorous union and manly decision which can alone direct with success great enterprise in politics and war. If it were true that the Emperor of Russia had taken the desperate resolution of cutting off all further negotiation, he would throw down the glove to a great portion of Europe." Of the success of these negotiations, the Times has ceased to entertain any confident hope ; but they will at least have exhausted every means of preserving peace. They have consolidated the efforts of the Great Powers interested in restoring peace, and they will completely throw on Russia if they fail, the disgrace and penalty of ther unjust and unnecessary war.
