il had been found necessary 10 despatch
swim vessel 10 Odessa for reinfOrcements. Ac-
cOrding 10 the latest advices from that place.
il was expected that decisive blow would he
struck before Varna soon, and the greatest
confidence of success was expressed. We
shall know perhaps by the next packet what
is to be- the fate oft that place.
The operations before ChOumla are as yet
without any effect upon that fortress. TWAS
reported from various quarters that the Turks
had made successful sally, the particulars of
which will be found below, and the report
seems to have been generally believed. The
Russian army before ChOumla is said to he
suffering severely by disease, brought on as
supposed by the extreme heat Of the weather.
There is 20 violence thatthe Turks in the
fortress are yet distressed for the want of pro-
visions. The Grand Vizier is said to have
set out for ChOumla from COnstantiDOpie with
reinfOrcements amounting to forty thousand
men.
The Emperor Nicholas. as we announced
yesterday, sailed from Odessa on the cd, on
his return to the army. Lord Heytesbury
did not accompany or follow his Imperial Ma
Jesty. who, however, has placed frigate at
his IordshiPs disposal, whenever it may be
necessary for him to repair to the Imperial
head quaaters, to communicate with his I'm
perial Majesty. The other ambassado. s, who
are mlitery men, were to follow the Empe-
ror in two or three days.
General lvanhof is dead of the wounds he
received.
The Turks have made a desperate sallv
from ChOumla, in which they had the adj
vantage. They succeeded in destroying three
of the Russian redoubts. The Russians who
occupied them were all cut to pieces 10 the
sanguinary conflict. Eight guns were taken,
and we lament to add, that General Wrede.
a brave and distinguished officer, was killed.
The loss Of the Turks was, as may well be
supposed, considerable.
There was sickness IN the army, and it was
feared that 1t was on the increase, the weather
having been SO hot, and great scarcity Of
water.
The accounts which have arrived from
ConstantnOple, are Of the 25th and Goth of
August. The Grand Vizier left Constantine
pie on the Goth, and was to proceed TO
Choumla direct, with reinforcement of 49,
900 men.
The Berlin State Gazette of the 18th inst.
informs us, that accounts from Constantine
pie, of the 24th of August, mentioned the
POrte's acceptance of the Intervention for
OF July. There We're certainly such reports
at Constantinople. on the oath, but there are
later accounts by three days, which have been
transmitted from Vienna, and which, SO far
from confirming these reports, induce US to
believe that the Porte has not expressed any
such intention. The three powers, AS we
stated some time ago, are expected to issue a
joint declaration as soon as the French expe-
dition has reached the Morea. 1t will explain
the grounds upon which the expedition has
been undertaken, and the object it processes
to accomplish.
The Constitutional, in an extract which it
processes to give Of d private letter from Con-
dated Aug. Is, draws highly
colorej picture of the disorganized condition
of that capital The Turkish army, it seems,
was in state of complete insubordination
"Brgands were pilIaging even the messen-
gers OF the Divan, and inCendiaries were APP
pointed to set fire to the Ba7aar.'' OF this
unsupported as it is by probability,
and at variance with the known character of
the Sultan, we do not believe one word.
The Austrian Observer gives a letter from
Hermansadt. of the 26th Of August, which
says, that the Russians having been Obliged
on the 18th to abandon their camp at Golenz.
g. to retreat to their fortified position at Go.
ro, were attacked there on the 18th, but sue
ceeded in maintaining their position. In the
first camp,however, the Turks had taken 1O,-
900 akas of biscuit, 10000 akas of corn, large
of hay, and a great quantity of
timber, RATS, ami small vessels. which appear
to have been intended for effecting the pas
sage of the Danube, beside many thousand
oxen.
CONsTANTINOPLE, Aug. 26.
The Grand Vizier at length set out, on the
Goth, from the camp at Daud Pacha, for
AdranSple, and it is stated that the Sultan
himself will take the field AS soon as news is
received that the enemy has passed the Bal
kan. If we may believe the Turkish bLIle-
tins, the defence against the Russians has been
as successful as an be desired. The Capt.
ain Pacha writes that on the 9th he complete
ly defeated the Russians, who made an attack
ON Varna. Ibrahim Pacha had surprised one
of their conveys between Bazardjik and JAM
Bazaar, and captured it after having massa-
cred the escort. Lastly the corps of General
Rudiger having attempted to advance from
Eski Stambol toward Choumla, to take Hus-
sien Pacha in the rear, has been repused with
considerable loss. The accounts from Silis-
tra are equally favorable,Su the Pacha ofWi-
den was preparing offensive operations against
Wallachia.
