FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.—The news given by
the Moniteur of this day, respecting the affair at
Oltenitza, terminates in a way which leaves every
body in doubt as to what was meant. The Moni-
teur says Prince Gortschakoff has left for
Oltenitza. It is intended to attack the Turks with
24,000 men to-day or to-morrow." Is this extracted
from the despatch, received by the French govern-
ment, and the date of which is not given ? or is it
the language of the Moniteur ? If it be extracted
from the despatch, the " to-day or to-morrow" may
have been the sth or the 6th—and it can indeed
hardly be supposed that Prince Gortschakoff would
wait- eight or nine days before he attacked, thus
giving abundant time to the Turks to receive rein-
forcements, which would be the case if the Moni-
teur means the 13th or 14th. The article of the
Moniteur being written on the 13th, the " to-day or
to-morrow" of that journal, unless it has omitted
to give the account as an extract, would be yester-
day or to-day. The Presse of this evening says—
" It is known that Prince Gortschakoff had made
the attack with his 24,000 men, and had been
again defeated; but the Presse does not say who
knows this, or how the news ramp
The Count de Nesselrode's note has excited
great dissatisfaction. It is rumoured, that on
Saturday last, when the manifesto and the note
were both in the hands of the Emperor of the
_ _

~
French, it was intimated to M. de Kisseleit that
under existing en ~,..ta.c.oos his presence at Fon-
tainebleau might be unpleasant to ithu. It
appears that he had previously received an invita-
tion.

The money market has been very dull to-da y
with very little variation in prices. There wa s
in fact, scarcely any business.
It is worth stating, as the Emperor of Russia
charges- the Porte with having collected revolu-
tionary elements for the war with Russia, that up
to this time the Turkish ambassador here has not
accepted any of the offers made by officers of dif-
ferent countries. Only three days ago the son of
an ex-Peer of France, and himself a distinguished
officer, offered his services to the ambassador, who
thanked him warmly, but said he had received no
authority from his government to accept any of the
offers that had been made to him.

The Patrie of this evening has no news of im-
portance from the Danube, but it states from
Trebizond, that the authentic account' of the last
affairs of the Caucasus had been received there,
and that it fully confirms all that has been said of
the great victory over the Russians obtained by
Shamyl.

Supplement of yesterday].

VIENNA, MONDAY.

The Wanderer publishes a letter from Bucharest
of the 6th, stating, that after a series of murderous
conflicts on 3rd, 4th, and sth, the Turks maintained
their position on the Wallachian bank of the
Danube, while the Russians took refuge in their
entrenchments near Oltenitza.
Advices from Kalafat of 3rd state that on tha
day that the Turks had left their positions, theyt
were waiting for reinforcements to mareh upon
Krajova. . .

The communication between Galatz and
Odessa has been interrupted since October 28th.

Some disaffection seems to have shown itself
among the Polish troops in Russian service, and
four soldiers have been summarily shot.
the Morning Chronicle correspondent writing on
the 9th instant, from Bucharest, states that the
Turks have been repulsed from the Island near
Guirgevo..
General Klapka has received a Turkish com-
mand at Oltenitza, or Giurgevo. A strong can-

advanced his head quarters some stations from
Bucharest.

The Correspondent of the Morning Post writing
from St. Petersburgh on the 6th inst., states that
the Czar's Manifesto was read in all the Churches

but the Manifesto was not read to the soldiers.
A corps dames was under orders to embark
from Odessa for Georgia to reinforce Prince
Woranzoff, who urgently asks for succour. The
embarkation has been countermanded since the

hinder the corps from reaching its destination.
The forces will now proceed to the Principalities.
The orders for sending Russian cavalry to the
Principalities is withdrawn, as, owing to the rains,
they could not act.
