THE WAR IN ASIA.

TREBIZOND, Sept. 13.—Omer Pacha, after stop-
ping two days at Platana (distant about a league
from Trebizond), where stress of weather compelled
him to put in, arrived in our roads on the 10th.
The Generalissimo landed an hour after the arrival
of the Ottoman steamer, the Chepper, which
brought him, and, accompanied by the Count de
Meffray, his aide-de-camp, repaired to the go-
vernor's palace, where he received the visits of the
Turkish authorities and the consuls. The next
morning he left, after returning the visits of the
consular body.
Accordinc, to the information I have been able
to procure, Omer Pacha's troops will have collected
at Batoum in ten or twelve days' time ; we venture
to hope they will arrive in time to save Kars..
According to the latest news of the Bth from
Erzeroum, letters of the 2d from Kars confidently
stated that the garrison defending that place had
still some provisions left. Now, a scarcity of sup-
plies would alone be sufficient to bring about a
catastrophe. But there is one peculiarity in the
climate that may at any moment compel the Rus-
sians to retire from Kars ; it is the possibility of a
heavy fall of snow at the environs of the fortress.
The latest letters from Erzeroum, dated the sth
inst., inform us that Hafiz Pacha is using every
effort to once more collect some bands of Bashi-
bazouks. The cholera had almost entirely left the
town.

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

Opinions continue still divided as to the next
proceedings of the Russian army in the Crimea.
One well-known strategist thinks that they can
very well maintain themselves at Bakshiserai and
Simpheropol. Another authority believes that
they may do so for a month or so, as they have
provisions for that time, but that before then pro-
positions of peace will be made by Russia through
Prussia. These, however, can be only vague con-
jectures, which a few days more may see realized
or contradicted.

By a decree of the 29th ult., published in the
Moniteur, the Emperor has promoted General
Dulac to the rank of Grand Officer of the Leg:on
of Honour. General de la Motterouge and Col.
Noizet de Saint-Paul to the rank of Commander.
The Moniteur publishes 24 names of officers and
soldiers nominated to the Legion of Honour in con-
sequence of their wounds, and 91 names of sol-
diers who obtained the military medal.
The English steamer Calcutta left Marseilles on
Sunday for the East, having iu tow the Eliza trans-
port of 1,800 tons, with troops and stores on board
for the East.

The Napoleon, French war steamer, left Toulon
for the Black Sea on the 29th ult., having troops
on board for the army of the East, and 248 pri-
soners of war to be exchanged.
The fete-day of the Emperor Napoleon was cele-
brated with great pomp at Teheran on the 15th or
August. On the morning of that day the high
functionaries of the Persian government visited M.
Bouree, as the bearer of the Shah's expressions of
personal friendship towards the Emperor. The
members of the diplomatic body, and the Euro-
peans in the Persian service, also paid their respects
to M. Bouree, who afterwards gave a splendid en-
tertainment. A display of fireworks closed tho
festivities of the day.
