The late accoun, OF the surprise OF some
Russian redoubts in the camp before Schumla,
on tho 9th OF Aug. seem TO be- confirmed.-

A regular post Office is 10 be established
here b. the Russians, IN order 10 ia actate the
Transmission Of couriers to Berlin, ST. Peters
burgh, and 10 the various points upon which
our army may DO operating. The exporiatlon
OF corn having been prohibited, has occasion
ed u considerable fall IN price, from which II
Is now Likely 10 recover, as the necessary ma
gaines for the army had been plentifully sup.

BERLIN, Sept. 10.
Almost every body is convinced that the
Russians will not be able to reach CONSTANT
nople this year, even if they should succeed IN
taking Varna, and all the iortresses on the
Black Sea. The season IS far advanced, and
the navigation of the Black Sea will be next
month "a precarois as the conveyance OF pro-
visions and ammunition is difficult, IN a couu-
try which has no regular roads, and in which
our army Is confined To its own resources.
Experienced officers agree in opinion that
operations should be sus; ;,endcd for the present
aud that the Russian army should leave The
sleges Of Choumla, Varna, and SllIstrId, to
take their regular course, and meantime mere
ly maintain it's positions, without proceeding
10 other enterprises, which can only DO prose-
culed IN the good Season The plan often
pursued with success by Napoleon, OF pushing
forward large masses, without regarding the
lortresses and loca! hindranccs IN his rear, is
extremely hazardous in a country which affords
no resources. and is well known TO have been
a principal cause of the failure Of the cam
paign Ct 1912. II is affirmed that the Russian
army will now undertake n similar manoeuvre,
and pass Mount Hgn,us in great mass at ono
point. II is said that this prospect is spoken
of, in our higher circles, as one of which the
success is very dubious. 1t is affirmed, how
ever, that all the arrangements are already
made, and that as soon as the Emperor Ncho-
las has reached the army, it will be put in mo-
ton TO advance IN mass against Adrianople.

PARIS, Sept. 20.--rhe Austrian Observer Of
the Itl contains news from Constanfinople,
dated Aug. 25. As il is for The most part only
a repetitIOn OF what VIC gave yesterday, we
only extract the following details:--
The Grand Vizer, who set out on the goth
for Adrianople, takes with him about so o or
5000 men; but this force will be increased by
all the contingents which will join him on the
road to Chonma, whittier he has orders 10
proceed, after his arrival at AdrIanppe.
The Sultan is resolved to put himself at the
head of his army if necessary. Every thing
has been prepared for this purpose, both in
and out Of the Serag!io, but the moment of his
departure viii depend upon events -..
Though tho preparations for defence are
carrying on by several thousand wo:kmen out
of the capital, the same activity IS exerted TO
terminate tho important and costly ereCtjons
Of Two barracks at Scfutaf and Tschengclkei,
Of palace for the Sultan at Beglerbei, and Of
"A marine bnrrack on the island Of Halki. A
new indication, says the Observer, OF the spirit
that prevails at Constantnople since the mill
tary r, forms in 1926, i, the adoption, by the
Ottoman government Of The. principles which
have long since been received among CHRIS
tan nations for the treatment Of prisoners Of
war.
Cn the representations Of the Austrian In
ternunco, in favor Of tho Russian prisoners
confined in the Bagnio, they were sent on the
18th on board several vessels to Inc island Of
Halki. where they were placed in Gteok
convent. The Refs Eifcnd afterwards acquan-
ted NJ. d'Ouenfels that 1t was the express
will of the Sultan that the prisoners should be
treated with mi,dncss, that 5et,or food should
be given them, and permission TO take exer-
else in tho open air, and that they should he

religion Argiropoulo, formerly dragoman of
the Porte, and Stephanak Vogordes, late
caimakan Of Modavia, have been recalled
from their banishment at Broussha.
The first has at present no employment. but
tho second, at his own request, will follow tho
Grand VzIer to the army.

CoNsTANTINopLE, Aug. 26.-The Grand
Vizer at length set out on the goth, from the
Camp at Daud Pacha for Adiianoplo, aud It is
stated that the Sultan himself will take the
fold as soon as news is received that the enc
my has passed the Balkan. II we may be-
lieye the Turkish bulletins, the defence ag-
ainst the Russians has been as successful a.
can be desired. The Captain Pacha writes,
,ha, on the 9Th he completely defeated the
Russians, who made an attack upon Varna.
ibraham Pacha had surprised one of their con
voys between Bazardjik and Jam Bazaar. and
captured it. after having massacred the escort.
