IROFi! THE JOURNAL DM CORINIRRCR.

The eyes of all Europe are turned towards Schnmla,
where the great qu ore! between Russia and the Otto-
man Porte is to be decid-d. The army of the Emperor
Nicholas is in sight ot this important vosition, which
the Turks justly regard as the bulwark of their empire;
a few days hence, arid t. e fate of a campaign upon
which dependi the peace of the u•orld will be decided.
' If the Ru•siani succ fa-rsitig the Ottoman Ther-
mopy z, it is probable that no..seripus oh:tacle will be
opposed to their toarels to Gtionitantinople ; but in the
contrary case, it is to be piesumeil teat tl,e r efforts
during the rest of the year wilt be limited to a few
sieges on the Das übe and that the advanced state of,
the season will n t a low. them to execute any decisive
operations. •
The present state of the milit try operations enables
us correctly to appreciate the progress of the invasion.
and to hazard some hiss ',deal comparisons to which
circumstances give a high interest. • The campaign was
hardly opened when the result was already looked uirso.
as The most distinguished Gelsorils pieced
themselves at the head of p-pular opinion, and traced
a plan of operations for the Russian army, •which in a
few months was to tersnioate with a Te Deum in the
ci.devatit mo•que ot Saint Sophia. If .hese brilliant
p,opheetes are nor realized, our skilful nii.itary mere
may console themselves by s eying, that. the Emperor
Nicholas tattier prefer I at° follow the beaten paths than
to adopt their ideas.
The system of the Russian invasion is exactly the
same as in the last war. and the campagn ot MO Will

The Imperial Army if Operation, at the brat perli-d.
amounted to about 100,000 men. a id it is probable tha
their force is not more considerable at the present day.

the complicated chances which the policy of some of
the great Powers "may bring about, especially at a rite.
ment when so much anxiety is awakened, will neces-
•orily present her from sending a latg r armyleyettd'
the Danube.

The Emperor Nicholas follows in every pointthe
plan traced by Bagration and ez•ented by Kernelfill.
This plan consisted in proceeding en muse from Hirkowa
upon &hernia, by Bazardjik, detaching various corps
upon the right to besiege Silistria and ltutschuck, and
to attack Varna-on the left, thus cleating the country
between the route Wilma ed by the main strati and the
sea. The camp.ign began. as it did this year, 'about
the middle of Ala) ; on the 10th o' June Mistily. had
capitulated; 13,,zardjik, de ended With- intlepidity.by
Pekliwan Aga, was CA/tiei by assault; and the Roisliin
army arrived before Schismla, in the position

according to Vie official bullet it. Such a delay. binge,.
to prove that the airily of invasion has met mote tb
etudes upon its Mum.) than during the preceding wet.
When Kamenski appeared before *Scam's, RIM-.
Chuck was invested, and Sili.tiia and Rasgrad occupied
by his troops. The Emperor Nicholes diet not posts
any of thesesadvantagei. Tr e position of &humla has
not lost any of its strength, and, indeed, it appears rfikt
Hussein tacha was unoensittingly occupied In defend-

This city, built at the foot of one the northern foots
of the Balkan, occupies -the ihtelior of a crescent, en-
closed by mountains reaching from the south to the
west and north. These mountains, which are very steep
and lofty, are covered Mich ihwns and briars, shish
render them difficult i f access. The eastern side alone
is open, and presents a vast plain, which extends to-
wards Jeni-Bazar. When the assailant has etasined a
view of the position, three alt• rnatives are left to him-►
to attack the trout of the ii trenchntents which protect
the east; to assail the hei4ltts of the town; to% to en.
deavour to invest it, and talte,it by famine. Karneaski
was fearful of attempting the attack in front, but he
ordered 114 troops. t.. sca r tae ramsetains, and, alter a
bloody action, six b ttalintis succeeded in attaining the
heights which fora; Ira. northern point of sge crevcent.
No advantage, hove, er, could betaken of tlake,iposition,
as it was impossible. t o get artillery over the-meepac-
clivities; andlhus I.e was obliged to return bathe M-

oan would. hardly. have sufficed for this opeiation.l
During seven weeks the Russians remained at the foot
of the 13alkan, almost in a state of Mutiny, and destieute
of every tem& will/. the Ti.rk!sh army. vomited con-
veys which kept rh m in abundance. The excessive
heat had dried up the grass, and disturbed the waters;
bands of: insurgent peasants attacked tl e rear .of the
army, and as they sere protected by the difficulties of
a country covered with wood and defiles, they Were eh-
'abled to intercept the communications, and to pillage
the convoys. Added to this, was the necessity for fur.'
nishing nupserous escorts, which so weakened the Rus-
sians that they raised the siege on the 3d of August.
The Turkish army at that time did not amount to
40,000 men, but the forcer now under the.orders of I
Hussein Path, 'are estimated at 120,000 men. The
Bulletins already begin to speak of the difficulty of tie
roads, the excessive heat, and the want of ; .so
that in the face of these facts it may naturally be asked,
will the Emperor Nicholas be enabled to °welcome mucb
greater obstacles than Kamtnski ?
We think we cannot better conclude this article thee
by an extract from a wore relative to the war in Tui-,
key, written by one ef .the most celebrated Russian'
Cenerall:" It is not military skill alone," says the
author, " hich is requisite to obtain success against
an array, one half of which is composed of cavalry,,

The following characteristic paragraph appeals io
the Corm ier des Trios/newer—Madame A Ile was passing
the o.her day along one of the streets in Paris, carrying
nn her arm a rich and elegant reticule; a..M. Boulanger,
who cannot bear the idea of his fair countrywomen
being 'reproached with the least ridicule, snatched at that
of kladante Alle and ran away. Being pursued, how-
ky she Lady and neertaken, he stab thus addre.sed,

one.which I have just found." "it's mine." " Who
say! thicontfary ? take it." "And you, rascal, go and
lot hanged elsewhere;" (va to faire pendre aitleurs.
which is the common obses ration on allowing a thief to
escipe without punishment). A police agent, however,
whis happened to be upon the spot, did not exactly agree
with Madame Alli in opinion as to the propriety of suf-
fermg M. Boulanger to escape, that he might commit
s zar other crime and be hanged elsewhere. and there-
finearre.ted him. On Wednesday last he underwent his
trial, and was sentenced tb one year's imprisonrnini.
