DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS.

We have been favoured by his Excellency the
Turkish Minister with the following telegraphic
despatch, which was received last night at the
Embassy

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Sublime

Porte to the Ottoman Minister in London.
CONSTANTINOPLE, NOT. 15.

On the 6th of November the forces under the
command of Omer Paella, wading up to their
arm-pits, forced, under a terrible fire, the passage
of the river Anakara, or Onfluer, in Georgia.
The passage of tho river was defended by six-
teen thousand Russians. Our troops attacked
the enemy's redoubts with the bayonet, and car-
ried them in spite of a desperate defence.
The Russians were thrown into complete dis-
order and put to flight. Our troops took five
cannons, seven caissons, and forty prisoners. The
enemy left more than four hundred dead on the
field of battbe, amongst which number are two
superior and one hundred subaltern officers. Our
loss amount a to sixty-eight killed and two hun-
dred and twenty wounded.

pearance of the cholera. Yesterday, in replying

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
The impression produced by the Emperor's speech
yesterday, in reply to the address of Prince Napo-
leon, is, very favourable. The acclamations, the
repeated and enthusiastic applause from more than
30,000 people, which interrupted his delivery of
it yesterday, from both French and English, was
an unmistakeable proof how this spirit went with
him in all be said. This time at least there can
be no mistake as to the Emperor's reception,
and if any doubt existed hitherto on the point
a visit to the Exhibition yesterday would have
shown how well that extraordinary man knows
how to speak to the popular heart and the po-
pular interests at the same time, and how faith-
fully ho is responded to. Copies of the speech
were posted up at the mairies of the arrondisse-
ments of Paris, and the result is that the effect
on the public generally, and particularly on the
industrial classes, is most favourable. Its preci-
sion and deafness strike them forcibly ; they see
that the Emperor is not desirous of war for the
sake of war, or for the mere lust of conquest
or military glory ; that the war has been forced on
him and his ally ; that it is a war of justice, a war of
defence against aggression, and that while he and
his ally will not refuse to listen to terms of peace
consistent with the honour and dignity of France
and England they are determined to persevere until
the great object for which they took up arms is ob-
tained, namely, the tranquillity and independence
of Europe. This is the interpretation generally
given to the speech, and there are few who regard
it as decidedly warlike or decidedly pacific.
The Paris papers of to-day are filled with the
details of the ceremony of closing the Exposition.
