SECOND SUP*LEMENT TO THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19 1853 EASTERN WAR. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] LATEST INTELLIGENCE. SECOND EDITION. Northern Daily Times Office, Nine O'clock, a.m. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING From the Daily News. The heavy rains which have deluged the lower portions of Wallachia, rendering military opera-_ t ions impracticable, decided the Turkish comman der to postpone the expedition against Bucharest. Orders were therefore given to stop the move ment of the Ottoman forces, and those which were at Oltenitza recrossed the Danube in the greatest *der, and without being disturbed by the enemy. Qortschakoff had concentrated his forces oppo ite Oltenitza. The Paris paper Patrie says—" The Turks were r etarded in their advance by the inundation of the i) anube. They destroyed the quarantine building 44 c1 works at Oltenitza. Despatch from. Gortschakoff, and accounts re Ted by the Austrian government, confirm these Sorts of the withdrawal of the Turks ; in the latter it is added that the Turks ha d also retired f rom n L4 eir position at Kararassalz and opposite Criur j3"o. The Times contains Constantinople accounts T urkish the sth, stating that the news of the success of the .rs .t . u.rkish troops in Asia is confirmed. The so n of t 'rince Gouriel .and Colonel Clote, are among the Prisoners sent to Constantinople. A portion of the English and French fleets wa s s tationed ,close to the entrance into the Black Sea. The Porte has refused to grant authority for the exercise of his f u n c tions to the Consul-general appointed by Austria for the Danubian Principali ties. ST. PETERSBURG H Letters report further unfavourable movements in exchange, consequent upon the quotations from Odessa, which will cause a considerable amount of imperial to be sent from this country. A parcel from the Bank was despatced on Friday, via if amburgh, and further sums will follow. ODESSA, ith. Continued animation in grain, and most tensive business done. The purchases during a v week ending October 4th were 100,000 qrs. M on the two following days they reached 65,000 q r s., about 25,000 of which were for the Neapolitan R e vernment. Prices still tended upwards, and fr eights are as light as ever. Scarcity of ships c aused two Russian ships to be chartered at a d eduction of about 25 per cent. to compensate the r ight of capture. PARIS, FRIDAY. The Bank of France has resolved that the t he rate of discount is not to be raised. The 441 "m:ices on Railway Shares are to be r e duced from 60 to 50 per cent., and the advances on r)bligations are fixed at 70 per cent. The Bourse closed at a decline thus 73/, four and a half per cent., 904. EASTERN WAR. The Times contains an important leading article. It examines some of the effects of the important l'ents in the East on the political relations of l iirope, and especially considers them in connec tion with the policy, the interest, and the duties of t his country and our allies. ' The attempts to patch up the quarrel before hostilities commenced having failed, the struggle eau now only_be terminated by the adoption of l'egular preliminaries, and the ultimate conclusion of a treaty of peace. All the past and future relations of Turkey and Russia are thrown open to controversy ;,all exist ing treaties are annulled, and it depends entirely upon the final result of this war, and the attitude assumed on these questions, in what form and to what extent these speculations are ever renewed. of Turkey is enabled to treat for peace on equal or superior terms, • she will then have shaken off a series of conditions intending to place her in hu miliating subjection to Russian influence. If Russia succeeds in crushing the forces of the Ottoman Empire, it cannot be doubted that she would exact the revival of all her former treaties, but impose terms still more onerous on the Ottoman Empire and fatal to the independence of the East. To such a result it is needless to say that Great Britain, France, and the German Powers cannot in honor or policy submit, and that if Turkey were reduced to the condition she was in when the treaties of Bucharest and Adrianople were signed, we should be bound by every consideration and at all hazards to oppose the enlarged preparations of the Court of St. Petersburg. Russia has therefore ,no choice but in the man ner in which she may abandon these pretensions. If she actually undergoes a defeat by the Turks, she loses the results of a century of ambition and intrigue, and if she triumphs over the Turkish forces, she must prepare to encounter behind those forces two at least of the greatest nations of the world, who have indeed great and wise reluctance to take up arms, but who will most assuredly never lay them down, if war be once begun, until they have chastised the enemy of the peace of Europe, and dictated the terms of an honorable settlement; such is, in either alternative, the result to which the Russian Government and other States of Europe must now be prepared to look, whatever the result of the hostilities now going on. A moment may shortly occur between the termination of the campaign and the ulterior operations of the war, and the use made of that moment by Europe will probably be decisive as to the possibility of extinguishing this conflagration. If the Emperor of Russia persists in this wild and wicked course, he has nothing before him but war on the frontier of the dominions, and if he provokes continuance, his country will not come out of this contest without an injury to her political influence, a consideration even more fatal than the destruction of their fleets and the waste of her resources. If the German Powers join England ynd France with heart and hand, it is impossible to doubt that Europe has the power to enforce her will. Operations in the Provinces will be interrupted by the season, or by the attainment of some definite result of the campaigne, are the meditating powers unpre pared to impose terms of accommodation. If England and France are driven to employ their forces in the Dardanelles, that resolution will m terially affect the issue of the war, but the Times cannot flatter itself that it will at once terminate the contest. Russia relies on the neutrality of the Servian powers, and hopes, ere long,to enjoy them altogether, in opposition to the Western powers. Peace can be peremptorily imposed on Russia, and Turkey but with the co-operation of Germany, and if war do ensue the Courts of Vienna and Berlin next to that of St. Petersburg will stand responsi ble for it to posterity, if they neglect to perform their part in repelling this aggression.
