THE RUSSIAN ARMY IN ROUNIELIA.

(From the Constitraionnel.)

" The uncertainty %%Inch reigns respecting the
position and mnve►nents of General Diebitsch, since
tie wa; known to be in pos,ession of Adrianople,
;ots fziven ri•e to many singuLr conjectures. We
shall not analyse them, as they appear in all the jour-'
pals. To argue further upon these points would be
loss of time. It is more useful to consider the ques-
tion upon its true bearings.
" If we suppose it is the intention of the Rus-
sian Generalissimo not to stop beyond a period fixed
by the instructions from his Government, it is rea-
sonable to admit that having had in view the taking
of Constantinople, and not foreseeing the immense
obstacles in the way of that object, he has only
thought of making.himself master of that position
without daring to flatter himself that the city will
survive the conquest. It was in f►ct to be presumed li
from a knOwledge of the Turkish character, that when
forced to surrender they would destroy the buildings
by tire.

" When tl:e General was at Adrianople, his first
thought was how to conduct himself. It was cer-
tainly a brilliant result to be master of that city in
eighteen mouths, and find himself in a condition to
take possession of the magnificent port of Byzan-
tium. But could any one, without trembling, think
on the ravages, and incalculable losses, which a sud-
den attack must occasion, by breaking all she bonds
of subordination among a barbarous soldiery ? Could
he contemplate with indifference the ruin of so many
cstabhshments, which the flames lit up by rage must
destroy ? Could he remain insensible to the Chris-
tian blood, which f►naticism would not fail to shed ?

" These considerations must have had great
weight with the Russian Generalissimo. To save
the city, the population, and the Sultan himself, was
xn enterprize worthy to crown his glorious deeds.
To obtain that result he had only one measure—
namely, to give up the application of force, and tem-
porise by the forms of diplomacy. The most im-
portant interest, policy, and particularly humanity,
called for that happy mixture—an energetic attitude,
and the forms of conciliation.—The warrior may
have had the wisdom to yield to such reasoning,
and calculate in his operations upon the alternative
of the two elements of success. They may not be
able in Europe to appreciate the grandeur, gene-
rosity, and energy, to be traced in such a determi-
nation. About thirty leagues remain to be con-
quered, and an end may be put to the war, by the
important acquisition. They foresee that the dis-
organization of the Turkish armies, the discourage-
ment of the Mussulman population, and the weak-
ness of the Sultan Mahmoud, will leave no obstacle,
to the conclusion of one of the most memorable en-
terprises of modern times. Instead of considering
deLly as the effect of prudence, they throw in ex-
aggerations and statements w ithout foundation or
probability. They pretend that the Russian Gene-
ralissimo is bridled in his victorious course by the
influence of Ambassadors, and their interventions.
The organs .Orpowers, who have separate views and
interests, have .gone the length of supposing that
the Emperor Nicholas has ordered that whatever
may be the chance of war his troops shall not occupy
Constantinople—Strange assertion !
" Peace at this moment does not depend on the
Sultan trembling for existence amidst his favourites,
soldiers, and subjects lacerated by bleeding reforms,
nor upon diplomacy which the vanquisher applies to
the vanquished. He cares nothing about the ques-
tion whether one coalition or the other support the
question of mediation. Peace depends entirely
upon the convenience of the conqueror. He will
gire it when he has accomplished his mission. He
is charged with driving the Sultan into Asia, where
the romantic promise of the moderation will really
exist. The Emperor Nicholas will not tolerate
Mahmoud at Constantinople upon any other footing
than that on which the King of Poland reigned,
namely, that of the definitive partition of his king-
dom. In the first case Constantinople will become
a Russian city. In the second, it may have for a
short time its Poniatowski under another Repnin.
" General Diebitsch is placed in the alternative of
obtaining by a rapid march the city covered with
ashes and the- dead bodies of Christians, or becom-
ing master of it by negociations adroitly conducted.
It appears that he has given the preference to the
latter course, consequently the slowness of his opera-
tions is accounted for."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT.--The following race was run after
our account left the Race Course this afternoon :

Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 sous. eacl,, 10 ft. fur twc-

year-olds.

Mr. Thornhill's b. e. by Emilius—Surprise
Mr. Payne's b. c. by Bustard or Orville, paid.
Betting-5 to 4 agst Blue Bonnet, 2to 1 agst Cre-
dulity, and almost any odds against the winner, who had
not a single friend. The horses kept well together till
about a distance from home, when Blue Bonnet and Mr.
Sowerby't looked so well that it was difficult to say which
was "to win." Immediately after, however, the winner,
who had laid well up, came out, and, gaining ground every
stride, carried off the Stakes in clever style—rode by Ro-
binson, Blue Bonnet by J. Day, Credulity by Boyce, Sur-
prise 1 y Conolly, Mr. Sowerby's by Wakefield, and Mr.
Hunter's by Arnull.
The October Underley Stakes was a poor affair, Acacia
making all the running, and winning very easy by three
lengths—rode by Arnull, Canvas by Boyce, and Worry
by Conolly. The odds were-5 to 4 agst Canvas, 7to
4 agst Acacia, and 7 to 2 agst Worry.
Previous to the races the following lots of bloat' stock
were put up for sale:—
Bay mare by Andrew, d.tm by Quiz—knocked down at

guineas.

Some other lots were put up that hail no bidders.

than on either of the other nights, the private dinner parties
haiing again attracted nearly all the members of the Club.
Lord Selton's and Loid Exeter's were upon an unusually
extensive scale. The races conclude to-morrow with four
or five races, two of which are likely to be heavy betting
ones, Cadland and Lamplighter having numerous parties
for the King's Plate, and Varna and Pauline being backed
against each other at even to considerable amounts. Mr.
Payne's stud will be sold in the Houghton Meeting. There
will be 27 lots, several of which are deeply engaged.
