By an Arrival at New York from Iii
verpool, Jondon papers to the seth Au-
gust have been received. The following
are extracts:
The Turkish government has publish
ed bulletins of their operations to the
goth inclusive. They have drawn so Ia
vorable a picture of those operations,
that The general levy is said TO have been
greatly facilitated.
Recent accounts from Constantinople
state, that on the goth ult. the Russians
we're repulsed in an attack upon Vama,
and compelled 10 retreat to Bazardjik,
with the loss of five thousand men. The
fighting IS said 10 have lasted ~ hours
Silisiria was invested by general Roth
on the Esd. who attacked aud drove back

thousand strong The garrisons amount
10 $4,000 men.
Rumorsd Dcfeal of the Russians.
There has been no arrival at any of ue public
Offices to-day. The %contents of the dispatches
received Yesterday, are still secret but the vast
Importance which We ascrlned to them - con.

r,v repeat with renewed confidence, what We
mentioned Yesterday. The rumors Of success
on the part OF the Turks, which reach us from
every part 0f Europe, confirm our opinion Of ITS
10th. Nine days OF kshsing under the walls OF
schomia. mus; have been nine days OF successive
defeat to The Russians, and any account coming
away before the conclusion OF the strife, would
inScesssrily represent the Turks as victorious.
[Standard
The report that the Russians have received a
severe check at Schomla, appears to have re
ceived general credit, and the assertion that
government has adsices Of this event, 10 reiter
stci sith increased confidence. 1t IS SAID, that
after several days fgating, he Russians were
compelled 10 fan back, with a loss of DC, 1000
men in s:lled and wounded.-D
The rurnur still prevails that The Russians
have been defeated in their attack upon Scho
mia. The thing may be true; but there IS nothing
extraordinary in it, We sad before that It was
possible enough for the Russians to be REFUSED
from sach q place OF strength a first, a second
and even a third time; but then they will return
TO the charge, and my succeed at last, from the
superiority OF their numbers, andthe well known
pertinaci,y aud ambition of the Emperor. From
all tbs it would seem that The Russians had
really suffered a reverse besure Schonla. bat no
authentic news has yet been received San.
The substance OF the despstches brought by
Mr.. C.ews from Berlin, which he left on The 22d
ult has not vet TRANSFERRED. And hence We are
unable to contradict or confirm the reports in
general circulation yesterday evening of SIEVE
raj days hard fighting before ChoumIa. The re-
port al Berlin was. that no decisive advantage
had been obtained by the Russians, because no
additional bulletin had been published in the Or
leans Gazette. Il may be, that the dispatches
do not relate SO much TO military operations as
TO correspondence or explanations between the
European cabinets.
The French morning papers of Wednesday
contain nothing in the shape of news, but cou-
lectures and surTnises about the events passing
