THE WAR IN ASIA.

The following bulletin was published by the
Turkish Government, on receipt of Omer Pacha's
despatches at Constantinople :
A previous publication announced that his High-
ness Omer Paella bad quitted Soukum-Kaleh with
the troops under his orders, and had advanced into
the interior at one hour's distance in the direction of
Anaklia, on this side of the Ingour. On the other
bank the Russians wire stationed—they were from
15,000 to 16,000 in number, and were fortified by
means of redoubts and other works. There posi-
tion was formidable. On the 25th of the mouth of
Sefer the Imperial troops advanced boldly towards
the river, for the purpose of crossing it, and attack-
ing the enemy. Arrived on the bank, they
were received by a violent cannonade, to which
they replied. Carried on by their ardour and
their patriotism, and braving the grape of the
Russians, they crossed the stream on two points at
the same time, and fell on the enemy with the
bayonet. The enemy opposed an obstinate resist-
ance, but they ended by being dispersed shamefully.
The Russians fled on every side, leaving in the
power of our troops five guns, seven carriages, a
great number of muskets, and a considerable amount
of booty, and from 30 to 40 prisoners. The Sirdar
Eltrom writua t.haf, at. thA mnrnent of elnsinz his
despatch, they had not yet finished burying their
dead, but that 400 had already been counted. After
the battle the General-in-Chief threw forward a
corps of cavalry, and it was known that a great
number of Russians, dead or dying, were scattered in
the neighbourhood. The loss of the enemy must
be considerable. Tho Imperial troops have only
68 killed and a few wounded. Thanks to the Most
High, we have won a glorious victory for the arms
of his Imperial Majesty. Our troops are still on
the advance. In his fist report the general men-
tions with great praise the conduct of the troops
under his orders, and promises that he will send a
more complete report.

A letter from Stockholm of the 16th states that
General Canrobert. who was present at the annual
sitting of the Royal Academy of Military Sciences
of Sweden, in company with the two sons of the
King, has been elected foreign member of that
body- _

The Military Gazette of Switzerland publishes a
statement of the armed force of which the confe-
deration can dispose in case of war. The federal
army, of which nine-tenths are well organised and
prepared to march, reckons 115,000 men with 476
pieces of cannon. The militia could reinforce it
with from 10,000 to 20,000 men. The cavalry,
though weak, is abundantly provided with horses.
A letter from Copenhagen, of the 11th, in the
Cologne Gazette, says :—" We learn from a good
source that the opening of the Sound conferences
has been adjourned solely for the reason that the
Minister of the United States had received no in-
structions. The Danish Government does not
ap-
pear to place any great confidence in the success
lof its capitalisation-scheme."

A
letter from Wiemar, of the 14th, says :
cc The close of the Diet took place to-day. The
last sittings were taken up with the discussion of
the bill for constructing the railway from the
Werra, which, after some animated debates, was
adopted by a majority of nine. The Diets of the
two other Duchies interested in the affair have
granted all that was demanded cf them. This ac-
quiescence is natural on their part, as the question
is that of the establishment of a line of railway'
which will unite Coburg and Gotha, and put Mein-
ingen in communication with two of the most im-
portant lines of Germany. A violent fire broke
out a few days ago at the palace here, but, by th
active exertions of the people who assembled, it wasa.
got under, but not before considerable damage had
for

been done. The Grand Duke left this milolru

some days."
