TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
private letter of the 29th Nov. from
Constantinople, says: "All hope of an
arrangement has vanished, the naughty
Sultan continuing to adhere to his motto :
EUery thing or nothing"
JAssY, Dec. IL.
A rumour has Just been spread that a
serious engagement has taken place in the
neighhorhood of Varna, where the Turks
made last effort to dislodge the Russians
from their positions. The versions of the
issue of this affair are very contradictory,
some attrbuting the victory to the Russians,
Others asserting that the Turks have obtain
ed the objects they had in view. No decise
opinion can be formed on this subject.
BERLIN, Dec. %.
Negotiations for the establishment of
peace are actively continued, and it is said
that our Cabinet has resolved to assume
The part of mediator. Little hope is enter
tanned, however, of the return Of peace, and
letters from st. Petersburg state that the
Emperor is more determined than ever in
thusiam has spread throughout the whole
effected Animated Fly example of the late
tersburg are employed in preparing lima
means of collections, every thing required
in their condition.
A Russian paper gives the following as
the results of the present war: But six
months have elapsed since the Emperor
placed himself at the head of his army, and,
in Europe, there have been conquered Mol
davia, and Great and Little Walachia, whilst
a considerable part of Bulgaria has been
taken possession of beyond the Danube
eight fortresses have also been taken, as
we'll as the fortified positions on the Dan
ube and two camps. Our trophies are 957
cannons, 480 standards, and an immense
quantity of provisions. We have sunk or
taken II large vessels and 45 small. Nine
Pachas, with 25,500 men have laid down
their arms before our troops, and thousands
of families in Bulgaria have been delivered
from slavery. In Asia, pachalicks, with 6
fortresses, 3 castles, and 3 camps have
been conquered; 3l3 cannon, 1913 standards,
and IL horse-tails have also been taken,
whilst pachas and 5000 soldiers have been
made prisoners. A body of 10000 men mas
been beaten and dispersed, and there also
we have delivered several thousand native
families, whom the Turks chased before
them like cattle they have been restored
to their country to live in tranquillity-under
the protection of their conquerors. These
advantages have cost us 8 cannon, lost
before Choumla, and about 5000 men killed.
At this moment the line of our troops
extends from Calafat (which is well fortified,
and from which panic terror has driven
the Turks as far as Varna, which is again
put in state of defence. Their advanced
posts are at Kamtschik and Dewek, and
they have covered Bazardjik and Paravad
From Choumla, which it was useless to
watch during winter, and from Silistria,
where the frosts and foundations prevented
the continuation of the seige, our troops
have arrived in Moldavia and Walachia,
and they repealed with loss the enemy who
attempted to harrass their march. The
future is in the hand Of God, bit under the
shield of the wisdom and heroic courage Of
our monarch, Russia cannot but look for-
ward to happy ISSUE"
REVOLUTION IN BUENOS ATRES.
An arrival at Baltimore from Buenos Avres
brings accounts of a revolution in the Govern
ment of that country Of which the following is
a brief abstract.
On the night of November Both, the first
division of the army just returned from the
eastern province, excited the apprehension
of the government, who desired the attend
dance of Gen. Lavalle, then IN command at
the Recoleta barracks. He returned an
swer that he would come Immediately, but
for the purpose of displacing the govern
ment, which, he said, had disgraced ITSELF
He accordingly marched at dawn of day to
the Plaza de la Victoria with the fifth reg-
ment of infantry under the command of Col
onel Olazabala, whilst party of the lancers
commanded by Col. Olavarria, and the reg
iment of Cazadores of Col. Correa's took
possession of the Park Artillery, and other
important posts.
!. At half past in the morning part of
the lancers entered the Plaza with General
Lavaila and Colonel Olavdrria, and several
other officers at their head; few minutes
afterwards, Col. Carrea and his regiment
came to the Plaza. The 4th regiment of
Cazadores, and the Light Artillery, with
Coils. Rolon and Irarte, had in the mean
time got into the Fort, in which were the
Ministers, Guido and Barcarce, 1.-THE Cover
nor Dorrego having fled at A o'clock in the
morning J they placed two cannons on the
bastion, and two or three small pieces of
cannon at the gateway, at the same time
closing the entrance to the fort.
Public tranquility had not been in the
least disturbed the citizens came to the
Plaza, and very soon there was a consider
able assemblage of the most distinguished
people of Buenos Ayres, who offered (if nec-
essary) to take up arms.
At o'clock in the morning, General
Martizan came out of the fort, with infor-
nation that Governor Dorrego had fed,
without leaving any delegated authority.
Lavalla then issued proclamation, saying
that his only Object was the public GOOD.
