on the LIST OF September. We have received orr
usual files to that date. There is no official In
teigence from the Seat of war; but it will be seen
by our extracts that it was generally believed in
London that the Russians had met with serious re.
verses before Chuma. Some OF the London ed;

RUMonED DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS.

Offices to-day, Aug. 30 The contents of the des-
patches received yesterday are still secret; but the
Importance which ascribe to them is confirm ed

their communications. We believe we ma. re-.

OF Europe, confirm opinion of its truth. Nine

severe check at Choumia appears to have obtained
general credit, and the assertion that Government

sing confidence. IL is said, that after several d,vs'
severe lighting, the Russians were compelled TO
fdil back, with loss Of $4,000 men in killed and

The rumour still prevails that the Russians have

time; but then they will return to the charge and
must succeed at last from the superiority Of their
numbers, and the well known pertnacity and am

seem that the Russians had really suffered a
reverse before Shumla, but no authentic news has
