THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE ON

The Prow d'Oriont of Aug. 16, received this day,
contains the following letter from a special corre-
spondent at Trebisond :

TREBISOND, Afro. 7.
Oar anzlety imatinues ; we wait trots hoar to boar the
news of some grave evest.
Am/dim to oar last news from Bream= the Rus
sians, is I annoeseed to you, had crossed the floglianli-
Thigh. This hes caused mach astonishment here bemuse
the passes of the ridges of the 84ghanli mountain are
difficult, and tan mail be defended by a small force.
The troops at the disposal of Mahommed Paoha at Erse-
roam were samcient to stop the enemy at this point. The
Russian bvigede which reached the eutern declivities of
Soghanli-Dsgh did not attempt this panne alone; It
wasted Ent for the brigade from Molla-Sulayman.
This difficult position has then been crossed without dd.
Cully by the enemy. • • • It then advanced upon
Heopri-Keel, five hours' mach from Er:tromp and the
next day, August 3, to Haman-Kaleb, three hears' march
from the city.
Everything tends to the belief at &mown that the city
will be very soon attacked. Mahommed Fiche has gone to
meet the enemy. He has assembled the troops, and hes
marched to meet the Russians at two lingoes from Eras-
room, accompanied by all the Bashi-Bszouks already ar-
rived. Matters rest there; a renoontre is imminent. The
spirit of **soldiers is good; and, unless some unforeseen
accident emir. the en. my will find that he has sot done
wed to arch to Eirerourn, and will encounter a serious
resistance before the unfinished fortifications of the t icy.
The population, as yon may imagine, is in a state of great
anxiety ; many of the inhabitants have left ; some merchants
have already arrived here. The Eneish consul is peeper-
ieg to withdraw, and the archives of the consulate have
been transferred for the present to Outsuch-Hans. The
French consul, M. Camp*, will not some to Trebisoad ; it
is said he will go to the south. All that we bees here of
ammunition, arms, and proviso's, is leaving incessantly for
Rummel.

RUSSIAN DESPATCHES.

A supplement to the Invalids RUM of Aug. 18,
received by extraordinary tames, contains the fol-
lowing

NEWS FROM ASIATIC TURKEY.

In a report of Jul 21, dated from the camp near the
lags of Tthin6. Aidt-d,Camp General Monrovia! ser-
rates the details of two reconnoitring expeditions hap-
pily executed on July 15 and July 21 by the flying daub-
meats of Major Geceral Batlsnoff and Colonel Kainkolf,
commander of the combined regiment No. 2 of the Cossacks
of the line. The object of these operations was to enclose
more than ever the entrenched camp of Kars, and to isolate
the army of Anatolia, confined there, from the provinces,
which it ought to defend, and from whence it could receive
provisions.

Mej n•Usnerel Biklanaff '8 detachment left the camp of
Tiknii, on July 15, turned the eastern side of Han, and,
showing itself on the north of the place, dispersed a party of
the es emy's foragers, near the place where the Berdyk brook
tnrows steel into the Kars Tabsi. Is this rencootre two
Turkish atom and seven men were taken prisoners and
seven Turks were killed,

Our detachment debauching thin upon the Ardabas route
reached the village of Blijny-Djelsons on the 16th of July,
after a march of 60 vents, and cm the 17th appeared upon
the principal route leading from Kan to the seadjak o
Obeli where it took some prisoners. On the 18th Major-
General Briklanoff rejoined dm main body of our forces after
exploring all the roads to the north of Kan to a ooesiderable
diotanoe, and spreading alum in the neighbouring country,
without experiencing the least lam

Colonel Kemkoff Obtaiorid an egad smers in his
Mu upon the Gel rout*, the only communication which
the garrison of Kars has preserved with Erseroam. Daring
this movement the elders of the wandering Kurdish trihre
received our troop with bread aid salt. Colonel Kafka,
penetrating a great way la the parts little known of the
sandjek of Ghel, compelled the enemy's convoys, wbo were
pussies this route, to disperse, and interrupted every
movement upon the rent* of G 41, so especially important
to the army et LastaUs.;

Tin straightened position of this latter army bights to
show itself by desertion ; the sohlien take refuge not only
ha the neighbouring villages, bat even in our camp. At
Ken the prim of bread has tripled in one month.
