The Greeks had offered to advance money to the
Porte by way of loan. -
The Times leading article says the reports of
a lodgment of the Turks at Oltenitza, of a
severe battle fought afterwards, and of the dis-
comfiture and the retreat of the Russians, which
were all substantially true, and that they pointed
not to a single engagement but to a series of en-
counters on the same spot. The Times now
awaits news of the battle, which probably occured
when Gortschakoff arrived in person at Oltenitza.
Unless the Turks were reinforced, it is not unlikely
that they may be driven across the Danube, still
there would be a strong body left in Wallachia,
indeed, there would be the left wing intrenched
at Kalalat, which numbers greater than the de-
tachment at Oltenitza.

Respecting the unexpected inferiority of the
Russians the Times cannot accept the surmises
that the reported events are owing to the Russian
commander's stratagem, or his inconsiderable
strength ; sickness may have deterioted the efficacy
of the troops, yet a large army is decimated ill a
day, and there were ample opportunities of re-
cruiting it. Perhaps the truth is that the Czar
may have carried his dissimulation so far as ulti-
mately to have deceived himself, expecting to win
ithout fighting. He nay have permitted the
strength of his 'army to sink so low, that at the
moment of trial it was incapable of encountering
the shock of war ; sat any rate, of sustaining the
reputation on which he relied.
NOTE —The Telegraphic News in the Times of
the repulse of the Russians on the 11th, tends to
-disprove the truth of the ruinour that the former
had been defeated by Gortschakoff

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.

The Times Mira? News• A sailmaker at this port
who has just returned from St. Petersburgh, where
he has been chief sailmaker in the Government
dockyard, states that every Englishman employed
in the Russian arsenals has been summarily dis-
charged.
VIENNA, 14th—Exchange on London, 11 10.
ST. PETERSBUROH, Bth—ODESSA, 4th—Exchanges
on England more unfavourable, and owing to large
purchases of, Wheat it now pays well to send gold
to Odessa.

BANKING NEWS.—The Times says the drafts of
the Isle of Man Bank (Holmes and C 0.,) were
refused acceptances on Thursday, but merely from
a temporary cause—the death of one of the pro-
prietors having been followed, within the last day
or two, by that of the only surviver. The estate ie,
understood to be in every respect ample.
