A despatch 11;m iionstannuople, dated tin,
inst., states :
Mahe Russians attacked Cheftakil (St. Niehol as),
in Asia, by land and sea, bnt were repulsed five times.
.t Russian steam( r, with 1,500 wen on board, was
stranded. 'Twenty-dve of the crew were saved by
the Turks, and brought to Constantinople as pri-
soners of war.

"General Baraguay d'llilliers arrived at Constan-
tinople on the 15th."
The armaments continue. It is said that the army
is to be greatly increased.
A corps of cavalry composed of Christians is being
organisod, and placed under the command of Matto-
met Zadik Paella, a Polish renegade. A foreign
legion has also been formed at Kress, in Asia.
Several eonvov of Russian prisoners have at rived
in Constantinople; they are lodged in the houses of
Greek inhabitants.

From Odessa, on the 13th, it is announced that a
division of the Russian fleet, consisting of three line-
of-battle
ships, five frigates, and several steamers,
went out from Sebastopol as soon as Turkish men-
of-war appeared in the Black Sea.
The Russian head-quarters were transferred, on
the :22nd, from Budetschi, on which flay General
Diumenburg returned to Bucharest. It was said he
would join General Fischbach at Sistine or Krajows.
The Turkish patrols still kept the right bank of the
Danube, and detachments guarded the points of
passage, but no large force was in Hight.
Thu Wellachian militia is brigaded with the Rus-
sian army us an active force.
Bucharest was perfectly tranquil on the 17th.
The Russian army has taken up positions which
effectually protected that place against all the acci-
dents of war. The Turks made an attempt on the
16th to cross the Danube at and Sistowa.
They were unsuccessful. Russian battenes have
been placed on the heights which command the
crossings of the Danube at Oltenitza.
The retreat of the Turks across the Danube has
produced a favenrable impression in the Austrian
capital, because it favours the hope of the restimp.
Lion of negotiations. A few days ago an attach; of
the Ottoman Legation left Vienna for Constantinople
with a note which will, it is said, open the way to
direct negotiations between Turkey and Russia.
