CONSTANTINOPLE.

Dates from Constantinople to the 24th of July
state, that a strong body of the allied troops had
• gone in 15 ships from Baltshik to Anapa.
Five Russian boats had been sunk by two Eng-

are being fitted out.
Cholera has appeared at Smyrna and Varna.
A letter from Constantinople., of July 20, says
—" Our accounts from Gallipoli are still unsatis-
factory. The people are terror-stricken and have
fled from the town in all directions ; and even the
sanitary officer of the district has shamefully aban-
doned his post. The Council of Health is adopting
every possible means to prevent the spread of the
cholera, which is happily still confined to the French
troops, the original focus of infection. All arrivals
from Gallipoli and the Dardanelles are subjected
to a igorous quarantine, and the French depot at
Daout Pacha and Maitepe, where some cases of
cholera had appeared, are also isolated by a mili-
tary cordon. There are as yet no signs of cholera
either in the capital or the environs. The only in-
stance we know of was that of a porter, supplied by
the Health Office to work on board the French
packet Alexander, who caught the infection and
died in a few hours. The faculty has decided
that this disease results merely from an at-
mospheric current operating on certain locali-
ties, and is not transmissible by contact—and
to it we must leave explanation of this fact.
About a hundred Russian prisoners, and amongst
them several officers, were brought in two days ago
from the Danube, as also 8 prizes, which we hope
may prove lawful, heavily laden with grain. Our
blue-jackets want a little pocket-money, and are all
most anxious fur an adventure in the Crimea; which
is, according to the reports in circulation, the great
ol)ject in view. Not a Russian sail or steamer is
any longer to be seen in the Euxine.

THE WAR IN ASIA.
The Passe of Vienna says
We have news from Suchoum Kale to the 7th ult.,
and from Redout Kale to the Bth. Nail) Effendi, one of
the companions of Shainyl, had arrived a little before;at
Vardou, and had had a conference with the English
officers relative to sending 10,000 Circassians to Batoum,
and their incorporation with the Turkish army. Nail)
Efftndi 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 Erzeroum 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 hoard Admiral Achmet 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 E'atoum."
ERZEROUM, July 3.—About eight days ago the
Bashi-Bazouks of Hassan Yazidjiliad 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 6c 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.
