THE WAR IN ASIA.

The Presse of Vienna says :
We have news from Suchoum Kale to the 7th ult.,
and from Redout Kale to the Bth. Naito Effendi, one of
the companions of Shamyl, had arrived a little heforejat
Vardou, and had bad a conference with the English
officers relative to sending 10,000 Circassians to Batoum,
and their incorporation with the Turkish army, Nail)
Effendi appears doing everything to succeed in this, but
does not conceal the difficulties there will be in per-
suading the Circassians to join the army of Selim Pacha.
The news from Erzeromn comes down to the 6th ult.
The Russian army of Alexandropol, 25,000 strong, and
having 80 pieces of cannon, had crossed the Aspatchai,
and were within 6 leagues of Kars. The Turkish army,
80,000 strong in regular troops, 15,000 Bashi-Bazouks,
and with 100 pieces of cannon, was passed only by a
few leagues distance. A battle was expected every day.
A letter from Trebizond of the 13th July states that
Nafiz Pacha, who had commanded the Turkish army at
the battle of Nezib, has been named Governor of Trebi-
zond. On the 13th three Turkish steam-frigates, having
on board Admiral Achinet Pacha, had arrived in that
port with 3,000 regulars from Varna, 45 pieces of can-
non, and a certain number of horses. These troops
were to set out immediately for Batoum."
ERZEROUM, July 3.—About eight days ago the
Bashi-Bazouks of Hassan Yazidji had an encounter
with the Cossacks on the Russian boundary, who
were there feeding with their horses. General
Kennedy fell upon them with some squadrons, pos-
sessed himself of about 6G horses, and the Cossacks
fled, leaving on the field about 50 men, with their
arms and equipments. Other skirmishes of this
sort are daily occurring, with various successes on
both sides.

THE BALTIC.

REPORTED CAPTURE OF BOMARSUND.

- -
LUBECK, August 2.—The steamer Hengist, just
arrived here in fifty-six hours from Stockholm,
announces that intelligence had reached that city
of the capture of Bomarsund by the allied fleets on
the 29th ult.

COPENHAGEN, July 28.—1 t is supposed that a
new request for the co-operation of Sweden-Norway
has been made. The special commissaries who
have been sent to Stockholm for that purpose have
had an audience of King Oscar. The conditions
offered are not known, but they may be easily
guessed—money subsidies, the garrisoning of the
Aland Isles by the allies, and the eventual restora-
tion of Finland.
The King of Denmark feels daily more and more
the galling yoke imposed upon him by his Russian
Ministry, and has lately renewed his offer to resign
his Crown. The Ministers were silent.
A letter from Hamburg of the
.30th ult., in the
Independence of Brussels, says ;—" Four hundred

English, on the 18th, made. a descent at Kolinga,
on the island of Oesel, the most important of the
islands in the Gulf of Finland, opposite Livonia,
and after having destroyed four boats, which were
all they found there, they retired. Since the 23d,
the blockade of the ports in the Gulf has become
more rigorous. It is not possible for any vessel
either to enter or leave. The Customs' duties
levied on that coast annually constituted a very
important pecuniary resource for the Russian Go-
vernment, but at present they amount absolutely
to nothing. Revel is strictly blockaded by four
English vessels. On the 23d, part of the English
crews landed at Port Baltick, and demanded that
three merchant ships which were under water
should be given up to them. As it was impossible
to give theta up immediately, they fixed another
day, and threatened that if not then handed over
they will burn down the town."
