AUGSBURG, JULY 24.—The defeat of the Turkish army
by that of Ibrahim Pacha, which was only half as numerous,
is confirmed from all quarters. Nisid is on the right bank
of the Euphrates, two leagues from Bir. According to the
accounts brought by steam-boat to Trieste, the Turks fled
with such precipitation that their whole ramp, arms, lug-
gage, camels, coffers, &c. fell into the hands of Ibrahim,
who wrote the account of his victory in the tent of Ha6z
Pacha. The Turks fled to Marasch ; that is not merely
over the Euphrates, which is two hundred paces broad at
Bir, in the waters of which Ibrahim threatened to drown
them, but to the other side of Mount Taurus, and even
there they would not have any rest, as Kaisarich, in Cara-
mania, was appointed as the rallying point of the scattered
army. The army, therefore, was taking its course along
the road to Asia Minor, to Konah, and Kutaiah, where
Ibrahim was victorious in 1832, unless ho should halt on
the front;crs of Syria, in consequence of the dispatches
from his father, to he delivered to him by Captain Caille.
We hope to-morrow to have our letters direct from Alexan-
dria, which the steam-boat must have brought.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY B.—We are here in the
greatest consternation and fear the worst. The Se-
raskier, Hafiz Pacha, has lost a battle against Ihraharn
Pacha, between Aleppo and the Euphrates. Ibrahim
Pasha who was more and more apprehensive that the pre-
sence of the Ottoman army would cause an insurrection in
Syria, has attacked the army of Hafiz Pacha, and over.
thrown it atter a short action. The 'lurks behaved in the
most shameful manner, they betook themselves to flight
after the first cannonade, and it is probable that Hafiz Pacha
has scarcely been able to save or rally a third part of his army.
This blow is decisive, and places the throne of the young
Sultan, who is but just proclaimed, in extreme danger.
This, however, is not the worst thing which was to befal
the Porte. It has received another piece of intelligence
of much greater importance, and more dangerous in its
consequences, and which seems to increase the measure of
the evils that have been so inconsiderately called forth.
The Capitan Pacha has rejected the orders sent to him
by the Porte not to sail any further, with the answer that
he would receive no order from Khosrew Pacha ;
that he considered him to be a traitor to the Sub-
lime Porte, who had not only intended to deliver up
his sovereign to his enemies, but had also poisoned him ;
that he would have nothing to do with the pres nt Govern-

the command of Mehemet Ali. The French Admiral
Lalonde, who lies off the Dardanelles with some .chaps
of the line, has nut hindered the Capitan Pacha
from sailing in consequence of this declaration, but
has required that he would proceed to Rhodes, in or-
der to communicate from that island with Mehemet Ali.
Tae C~pi:an Pacha has complied with this irjunetion, and
taken that course, accompanied by a French man-of-
war. You may easily conceive what a sensation such a
