FROM EUROPE.

gence from the Russian head quarters be-
fore Shumla is to August 8, i've days later
than previous intelligence from the seat of
war. The news from Constantinople is to
Aug. 10, ten days later than before receiv-
ed.
On the LIST OF August, the Emperor Mich
olas published proclamation from the
camp before Choumla by which every ma
npuvre was ordered to he adopted for the
complete investment of Choumla, and to
hasten the carrying of that place as rapidly
as possible. Hussein Pacha is shut up in
Choumla, and these measures were adopt
ed to further the attack on that place
The march of Lieut.. Gen. Rudiger upon
Eski STEAMBOAT has occasioned much uneasl-
ness to the Turks, as they saw they were
on the point of having the communication
between the capital and the interior of the
empire cut off. The Turks collected the
greatest part of the cavalry and infantry.
and attacked the detachment commanded
by Rudiger and attempted to drive them
back. The Turks were opposed by part
of the 18th division, and after some hard
fighting the Turks were defeated and driv-
en- back upon Choumla. Gen. RudigeI has
taken posts near Eski STEAMBOAT, and so the
great road totCards ConStQntinOple is open
to the Russians.
The first division of the Imperial guards
passed the Danube at Isakcha Aug. q
The Emperor, on his journey to Odessa,
inspected this gallant corps. All accounts
concur in estimating the number of the eff
fectIve Tnrkish army stationed in and be-
fore Shumla at from 100 to 100000 men,
which force is daily increasing by fresh de-
tachments from various quarters. Shumla
and its neighboring Notifications are de-
Tended by 400 cannon, mostly of iron, and
the Turks, since their late incursions over
the Danube, seem highly elated, have in
| their late engagements with the enemy
evinced the greatest bravery and frmness.
The religious fanaticism that now inspires
the entire army is solely to be attributed to
the exertions of Hessein Bey.
| The garrison of Siistria made sortie
on the 2lst July, and according to Turk
! have to be sent TO Bosnia to quiet distur-
Dances. The last news from Shumla repre-
scented it as closely blockaded, and Hussein
! Pasha in a critical situation; the Russians
expecting reintorcements. Jussuf Pasha
/ lost son in an action in which ,he Russians
got the better.
| The Emperor will have returned from
Odessa to the head quarters on the 22d of
August before which period reinforce
ment of $4,000 men will have arrived, and
| the operations for the seige and the attac k
will recommence with greater vigor than
ever, if the actual state of affairs should not
occasion a development of the crisis at an
earlier period.
| From Constantinople, our aGvices are to
the 10th Of August. A proclamation was
issued on the 9th, summoning a meeting of
| all the members of the Dvan. Advices to
the 9th, state that the Sultan had proceed

a conference of three hours duration with
the Grand Vizier, and the most distinguish
ed Ministers of the Ottoman Cabinet it was
! resolved that the Grand Vizier, Mahomed,
| Selim Pacha, should forthwith depart for
the army defending Choumla. This de-
cision was hailed by the people with the
most enthusiastic demonstrations of Joy, and
greeted with splendid festivities. A letter
OF the 9th, says:-
The departure of the Vizier for the camp
of Dana Pacha, will take place the 9th,
and his arrival at the main army the 18th.
The arming of the citizens is vigorously
prosecuted, and the first division of the mi
/ litia is on its march to the entertainments at
| kilia and Karabnrna, on the coast of the
Black Sea. Solemn prayers have been Of
fered up by the Sultan, and the people, for
( the descendants of Gilman, and the child
rem of the Prophet. Indeed the enthu-
siasm Of all ranks has reached the highest
pitch, and to conquer or die seems the gen
eral determination Of the whole Turkish ma
ton. Tranquility reigns throughout the
city, Notwithstanding the wallike hustle
among the citizens, and the price of provis-
ions has undergone no change.
