The Odessa Journal of the 26th ult., says that all
symptoms of the plague have disappeared, both in
the town and neighbourhood.

The same Journal contains an article on the peace
which is the final answer to the invectives of the
foreignjournalist, who, only six weeks ago, prophe-
cied all kinds of disasters to' the Russian armies,
which were to meet with invincible obstacles in the
population of Rumelia, aided by the nature of the
country, and in the heroic character of the Sultan.
The campaign of General Paskewitsch was, accord-
ing to them, a mere diversion rather than a direct
attack on the Turkish empire, arid the General could
not advance beyond Erzeroum. The breaking out
of the plague at Odessa, said they, must check the
movements of General Diebitsch, and compel him
to retreat, nay, to give himself up to the Turks not
to perish with hunger. But while the gentlemen
were writing, our brave troops were marching. Er-
zeroum, the capital of Asiatic Turkey, was in our
hands, and the troops that were to defend it sur-
rendered as prisoners of war, without fighting. In
Europe things went on still more rapidly. Adria-
nople the capital of the Ottomans at the time of
their highest splendour, received us as friends rather
than as enemies ;'the Turkish troops laid down their
arms and begged leave to return to their villages, to
follow, as in times of peace, their usual labours. As
for the conveyance of provisions from Odessa, it
was no more interrupted than that from other ports.
The ships sent from Odessa conveyed to the army
not:merely necessaries, but superfluities, and even
anticipated its wishes and plans, by conveying to it
as it advanced, whatever it wanted to all the sea-
ports, which were successively taken at the first at-
tack of our fleet. Our standards already waved
almost on the walls of Constantinople, when at the
urgent entreaty of the enemy, our troops received
orders to halt.

The Sultan gave himself up to the magnanimity
of the Emperor, and after ten days' negotiations
peace at length put an end to our exertions and our
victories. Europe will remember that the Porte
owes its actual existence to the moderation of our
generous monarch. It depended solely on our army
to march for four days longer (for fighting was out
of the question), and then to exclaim, "the empire
of the Ottomans has ceased to exist."—Prussian
