TANKS and rear, must have been sui.eny disastrous to

appears certain, that they have lost whole fruits of the
European part ofthe campaign, except Kaaa the Da
Inube and Varnathe latter of which completely isoa-
ted by the retreat of the main army and left with small
garrison of 5000 men, its Notifications ruined by the late
lsege, to maintain itself against the force
lo the Turks, who animated by victory, and detern
led upon its recapure. The humiliation of the Russians
would be compete but for the of their army from
ga, the Asiatic side Of the Black sea- under Gen.
Paskewtch whose operations according to former
counts, had been conducted with great skill and with
uniform success. The failure, however, of the main ar
my, and its retreat will arrest the progress of the Asia
lie General, and most probably compel hum likewise to
abandon his conqnests
The reflections arising from these events obvious and
interesting The Turks, whose DOOM little while ago, was
regarded sealed whenever the Russian armies chose to

over these formidable armies, with energy and vgor
remarkable than have characterized their efforts, any

commenced the campaign under the most unpomsng APP

such circumstances the vgor and ability of their councils and

magnitude within recollection These events throw an
light upon the polite and energetic character of the
Sultan Mamoud whose plans Of reform, executed as we
have with memorable rgoi, the of the Janisa-

formidable armies on her frontiers to avail ha.self of such an
