It would be seen by the Proclamation of General DiE-
ß•racil, which we published yesterday, and which was
dated on the last day of July, from Aidos, that no ob-
stacle is interposed to check the march of the triumphant
Russians, who must long ere this be the masters of sub-
jected Turkey. After premising the regret he feels, at
the pertinacity with which the Ottoman Government
continues to reject all pacific overtures, he an-
nounces the determination of the army under his

command, " which victory has brought into the
plains of Rumelia," to follow up its successes by
occupying the country, and advancing as far as I) uovi-
DENCE shall please. Of course, this would be, as far
:is Constantinople; as it is not likely that PROVIDENCE
—however displeased—would miraculously interrupt the
natural succession of consequences, to prevent its occu-
pation. This hypothesis, therefore, discarded as inad-
missible, there can be little doubt that long ere this the
Russian camp has been pitched under the walls of old

Byzantium.
The Proclamation resembles more the edict
of some recognised Provincial Governor, taking
possession of the principality to which he has been
newly appointed, than the manifesto of an invad-
ing army, flushed with conquest, and following up
its victories to subjugation. The tone of protecting
mildness in which it is conceived, is the best proof
of the confidence of the proclaiming General. The
inhabitants are enjoined to remain peaceably with their
wives and families, and to pursue with security their
eomestic and agricultural avocations; their religious
exercises are guaranteed to them unmolested, and
the native Mussulman authorities are to administer,

as usual, the laws and government of the country.
All that the General requires of them is to deliver up
AI their arms, which will be preserved in a safe place,
" and restored when peace is concluded ;" and to make
haste and get in their harvest, for their own sakes, the
overplus of which the Russian army will purchase from
them at the fair established prices. No doubt the
General feels the importance of a plentiful supply of
provisions : he is, however, in the country of abundance.
There are still people so insensate, and so blinded by
party, as to contend even now against the commanding
• position of the Russian army : but these are only to be
found among the thick-and-thin adherents, and bolsterers
of the Noble Duke's policy, of which—not unnaturally—
they will be reluctant to the last, to admit the shame
and the catastrophe. If the position of DIEBITSCII at
Aidos be considered for a moment, it must strike any
one capable of conceiving its combined advantages as
equivalent to a complete possession of the empire. A
division of 80,000 troops,—assembled at Odessa—was
in readiness to move southward, while a strong rein-
forcement for the Rumelian army was already on
the banks of the Danube; General KRAS-
NOWsKY, at Karnabat, keeping the Balkan com-
munication open for the passage of fresh trool s
from Bulgaria. Here, then, is a continuous and
guarded line from Odessa to Aidos, securing to the
victorious General uninterrupted accessions from the
northern armies. On his right, the rich plains of Ru-
melia lie around him, with their unresisting population ;
for the division of 15,000 Turks—commanded by Haul.
PAcuA—being beaten with great loss by General
Sea EREMATIEre, have retreated in consternation to-
wards Adrianople : on his left, he is defended by the
Black Sea, and the squadron of Admiral GREW'', which
will continue to cover his march on that side all the way
to the capital.
Such was the position of DIEBITSCII on the 31st July,
when he issued the Proclamation we are now
noticing; and in which Proclamation he announced his
intention to follow up his victories, by occupying the
country quite as far as Pitov toesce would let him.
How far that shall have been, the Noble Duke will pro-
bably hear by Monday. His advanced guard was at
Kirk-kilissa, on the 6th ult. In the meantime, we rejoice
to perceive in our great contemporary symptoms of a con-
viction, which, at last, harmonises with our own. The
Times of to-day admits, that "by their fatuity or their
ignorance," the Turks have inevitably lost their
Empire : he sees no conceivable interruption to the
march of DIEBITSCH, and the occupation of
Constantinople. We are pleased that he thinks with
the Star at last ; and we hope the significant coincidence
of the Journal which once he thought his own, will make
its impression upon the mind of the Noble Duke. For
the Times says, in reference to this momentous crisis,
and we repeat it with him ah imo corde—" THE DAY
IS PAST, OR APPEARS TO BE SO, FOR MANIFESTA-
TIONS OF VIGOUR BY THE ENGLISH GOVERN-

MENT."

This day we have the Algemeine Zeihtng to the 29th
ult. which contains a moot astounding article on the
miserable, fallen condition of the SUBLIME PORTZ.
This superstitious and arrogant Sovereign would now

lick the dust to save his empire and his head: but it is
much to be dreaded that it is past the twelfth hour with
him. The following is the article in question, which
brings down the motions of Count DEIDITSCII to Kirk-
Kilissa:—
