innume,,b,a forces Of the Russian army,

innumerable forces OF the Russian army,
the scarcity of provisions in the Turkish !
camp, the powerful diversion which the
Russian fleet at Varna could not fail to'ef- |
feet and, in a word, all the hazards which
seemed to render it the duty Of the Sub
lime Porte to prevent, before 1t would be
too late, the consequences oil struggle IN
which Mussuman valour would uhdoubt.
edy make heroic efforts, but which would
issue in the ruin of the Empire.-The En-
peror yielded to the request, and from that
moment hostities ceased, both parties
maintaining their respective positions. Our
advanced posts will continue to occupy the
heights of Choumla : the 9TH corps is on
the road to onstantinope the Imperial
Guards are on their march to Join the be
sieging army at Choumla. a.--the whole army
of Poland. a formidable reserve, will keep
the frontiers in check; and the naval dlvis'
ion ofA dmira, Greigb, reinforced by some
ships of the line, will be ready TO land new
assaiants under the walls Of Varna, and to
supply our troops with subsistence. In
such an imposing attitude 1t is that the En-
peror has come 70 Odessa, where, IN the
midst of the representatives ofthe princi-
pal powers of Europe, he will await the an
swer Of Sultan Nahmoud. During these
deliberations, the reinforcements will have
reached the besiegng army, the retrcnch-
ments before Chounla, and the line OF CIR
cumvallation round its walls will be estab.
ished, and, it the Grand Seignior should
persist in continuing the war, it will be TO
the heart Of his states that the Emperor
will return 10 dictate peace, for the con
sequences Of which the Sultan will have no
one to blame but himself"
1t is not known how long the Emperor
will remain at Odessa; but twas general
ly believed that he would set out for the
army as soon as the reinforcements ex
pected before Choumla, should have arrv
cd. It's known that 900 infantry ofthr
line passed the Danube in the beginning o.
August, without reckoning the guards
which were to pass the river to day.
The Breslau Gazette mentions that let
| ters from Warsaw announced that the 70
| lsh troops had received orders to march.
Reports had been spread for some DAYS
that an armistice had been agreed upon be-
tween the Russians and Turks, to last for
three weeks, and it was believed that peace
would be the result-These accounts reach
ed Paris on the 29th of August; but there
was no confirmation ofthe armistice to the
4th Of Sept. the latest dates.
Kars, mentioned above as having fallen,
was taken by storm on the 9Th Of July, by
Gen. Paskewitch, who has opened the
campaign of Asia Minor with brilliant sue
cess. II was garrisoDed by l0,O~'O Turks
1000 of whom were killed and wounded.
5000 paroled and 1900 taken prisoners,
The Russians lost 26O men.
FgoM CoNsTANTINOPLE,o our advIces are
to tho 10th of August. A proclamation was
issued on the 9th, summoning meeting OF
all the members Of the Divan. Advices to
the 9TH. state that the Sultan had proceed
cd TO the Palace Of the Porte, where, al
ter n conference of three hours duration
with the Grand Viser and the most distln
guished Ministers Of the Ottoman Cabinet,
It was resolved that the Grand Nizier
Mehemed Selim Pacha, should forthwith
depart for the army defending CbOumla
This decision was hailed by the people Will
he most enthusiastic demonstrations o.
Iov, and greeted with splendid festivities.
FRoM GREEcE.--We learn, by the way
of Corfu, that the Sultan has given pos
tive ordeas to lbrahim Pacha, not by any
means to leave the Morea. intelligence
has also been received at Corfu, July -
+ that twenty-five vessels from Alexandra
, laden with provisions, and having troops oi
board, had entered the port of Navarlno. ]
I is added that Ibrahm Pacha has sent troop
into the interior of the Morca to cut th'
f corn and carry off ali the cattle: and tha
these troops have spread devastation in ev
cry direction, and massacred some Greeks
\ As soon as this news arrived, the Englis
A and French Admirals proceeded to Navarl
