COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

NEW YOBS, JULY 3.—There was a very light business
in Foreign Bills, with transactions on London at 1094- to
ioN. The regular bankers were disposed to draw at 1091,
but for cash in hand they were not able to do much at this
rate. In regard to the heavy failure of ➢iessrs. R. and
George L. Schulyer, said to he for several millions of dol-
lars, we learn that about $600,000 of their immediate obli-
gations are to Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, secured by rail-
road collaterals: The remainder of their money engage-
ments were variously distributed, but generally secured by
similar ~31,ferals. 7"'

con.- . mption of the pnbl;c debt of
the United States, for the week, amounted to $1,410,149,
leaving the outstanding debt of the United States, on Ist
July, exclusive of the Texas indemnity, $42,187,856; re-
deemed during_fiseal year $16,017,661.

COTTON.—The market had been dull, and extreme quo-
ations were difficult to obtain. The lower grades espe-
ially were difficult to move, and prices must be considered
ominal. The stock on sale was made up of mixed mid-
) inferior descriptions, the better grades being very
e, and commanded enhanced rates. The sales for the
'a 4-^ 7 OM bale-

dling t

12,529 for home use. The market closed on the
national festival very quietly, and the week be-
isidered a holiday one would probably pass by with-
out much animation. The accounts to hand of the grow-
ing crop were not so favourable. Heavy rains had fallen

s, of which 5,507 were fur

Te of ti

mina, Mississippi, and Louisiana, causing the grass
t the upper hand of the pLuter, owing to the back-
wardness of the crop. Dry and hot weather during July
and August *would be needed to obtain a full yield.

T E WAR.

-

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated Friday,
says :—" It is positive that from 15,000 to 18,000 men of
the Anglo-French army joined at Rustchnk the Turkish
forces commanded in person by Omar Paella, and that
between the 7th and Bth instant they gained a con-
siderable advantage over the Russians at Giurgevo. It
is believed that at the same time the Turks crossed the
Danube at Oltenitza."

The reverses experienced by the Turks in Asia have
been very severe. A letter from Trebizond of the 23rd of
June contains the following particulars :
" Selim Pacha, who was quartered with his ariny'at
Urzughet (near &town), considering that position not
safe, had abandoned it, and retired to Cuiruk-Suju. His
forces consisted of five battalions, composed of regular.
troops (Arabs of the Guard), with a strong body of redifs
and irregulars. He occupied Ladova, a village half-way
between Urzughet and Cuiruk-Suju. On Thursday, the
15th, a body of Russian and Georgian troops, numbering
10,000 men, surrounded and fell upon the irregulars in the
rear, and defeated them, killing a very great number ; the
rest disbanded, fled, and sought refuge in the mountains.
The dead and wounded are stated to amount to 2,000.
This defeat made the way to the village open, and the
Russians immediately attacked it. A most obstinate
engagement ensued, in which these five battalions were
reduced to two. Seim Paella gave orders during the
engagement for two batteries of artillery (fourteen gnus)
to advance to his aid, and to go round to the other side of
the village. The cannon went, but by a most unaccount-
able mistake no ammunition was sent with:them, and they
therefore immediately fell into the hands of the Russians.

The Turks lost a great number of men. Selim Pacha was
himself wounded, though not dangerously. Hagi Achmet
Pacha, the commander of the Redifs, received a severe
wound. Selim Pacha retired to Cuiruk-Suju with the
remnants of his defeated forces, where he is endeavouring
to gather together his disbanded troops. Selim Pacha's
army is said to be reduced to only 7,000 men. Her
Britannic Majesty's frigate Highflyer is at Redout-Kale.
The-Sanspareil screw line-of-battle ship was at Sinope a
few days since."

The'success of the Turkish troops on the Danube has
more than compensated the reverses in Asia. The Otto-
man army, by .a brilliant and determined movement, has
taken Giurgevo. A despatch from Bucharest, of the Bth
instant, states that 30,000 Ottomans and 12,000 auxiliaries,
under Omar Pacha, encircled General Saimonoff, near
Giurgevo. The Russians fought with great steadiness and
determination; They had to cut their way through. in
which operation they lost 900 killed and wounded. The
contest lasted nearly twelve hours, and General Chruleff
lost an arm.

The next day the Russians beat a retreat along the road
to Bucharest. Prince Gortschakoff seemed as if he wished
to take up a position at Kalugereni. On evacuating
Giurgevo, the Russians set fire to several vessels of their
flotilla. It is stated that larg
