On the ih July, an attack was made upon
toe Turks before Choumli, headed by the Em-
peror Nicholas, in person. After good zeal
Ol hard hgniing, the Russian buitetn says, be-
ing repulsed on every side, the Turks with
drew under the walls ofChouma Alter tins,
the Emperor left the atmy for Odessa. On
the same day, there was some fighting at Var
ma, the Turks having attacked The right wing
Of the Russian army beseIging that place. In
the Russian account, il IS stated that The
Turks were driven into he fortress IN "reat
disorder, and with much loss. But It is added
as they "had taken n favorable position IN
front Of Lieut.. Gen. Uszakow, the later would
not expose his cops TO any dIngoi, and he
, retired behind the village # Drcwoni, to JON
the Grst brigade of the 10Th division of ,nian-
try, under Adlutani General Benkendl oil, as
thar bt .a6e was on It's march to reinforce ,lc
cops before Varna Courier.
The substance OF the despatc ches hrouch,
BY Mr.. Cews from Berlin, which he lelt on
the 22d. has not yet iranspred. and hence
we are unable 10 contradict or confirm the re-
ports III general circulation yesterday evening
of several days hard lighting before Cbouinla
The report AT Berlin was, that no decisive ad.
vantage had been obtained by the Russians,
because no additional bulletin had been pub
shed IN the Berlin State Gazette. 1t may be
that the dispatches do not relate so much 10
military operations as 20 correspondence or
! explanations between the European Cabin
ets."-Lomdon paper, .lug. 30.
"Thc report tha, the Rissnns have rccei-
we'd severe check at Choumla appeats 10
have obtained general credit, and the assef-
ton that Government has adviccs of this event
is reiterated with increased confidence. Ii is
said, that after several days severe lighting,
the Russians were compelled 10 fall back,
wIih loss of 4J.UO men IN killed and wound
ed.' The Standard, .4ug. 29.
"Therc has been no arrival at any o. The
public Offices to day. The con,en's Of the
dispatches received yesterday are ,till secret,
but the vast importance which we ascrIbed TO
them is confirmed by all who havo tic best
means Of appIeciating their communications.
We believe We may repea: with renewed con-
idence what We mcntianed yesterday. The
rumours Of success on the pan Of the Turks,
which reach us from every part OF Europe,
confirm our opinion of us truth. N.ne days of
lighting under the wales of Choumla, must
have been nine days Of successive defeat 10
the Russians, and any account coming away
before the conclusion Of the strife, would nee
cessir.Iy represent tine Turks as victorious, p
Siandad, .7ug. 30.
"rhc rumour still prevails that the Russians
have been defeated IN their attack upon Choum-
~. ! ne Ihma may be tue, but there is nothlIa
extraordinary IN II. We SAID before, that 1t
was possible enough for The Russians 10 be
repused from place of such strength a rsi,
and second and even third time, but then
they viii return to the charge, ANA must sue
ceed at iaS', from inc superiority ul ther mum
bers, and ihe well hnown pertina ny and ana
b on Of the Emperor. From all TINS II would
seem that the Russians had really suffered
reverse before Choumla, but no authentic news
has yet been received Sun.
"The Paris papers are fruitful enough IN
tonJectures. Some suppose that Chounla bad
been taken, Others thnN that such supposh-
ion cannot be entertained, because the intel
gence Of an event oi such importance, would
have been forwarded with the greatest speed.
The 9, neral impression is tnat the R.ssidn

redoubts, and other works, preparatory to the
