beyond the Balkan. The Turks, who
were taken by surprise, and instantly de-
teated, had no time to depopulate the
province and the peaceabIe inhabitants,
most of whom are Christians, quietly pur-
sue their rural labours, under the protec-
! ton of an enlightened and judicious COM
lmander.
The details of the victorious march of
the Russian army are expected every mo-

Gated to our readers"
ST. PETERsBURGH, AUG. S. Accord
ing to the accounts from our army beyond
the Danube, which come down to the Goth
ult. it appears that the Grand Vizier had
not yet ventured to attack the corps of
Gen. Krassowsky, which is posted at Sem
ibazar; for if he had we must have had
the news yesterday, as the communica-
tons are now so speedy. But, by the
Goth Gen. Krassowsky, might be joined
by the reserve, to the number of 35 900
men, sent by Gen. Witt towards Bulgaria,
and which had already arrived at Barba-
dagh, only five days march from Shumla
Thus the army of Gen. Diebitsch would
be more than sufficiently covered both on
the flank and the rear. On the 25th Of
last month, the Emperour had grand
review of the troops in the camp at Kras-
noje-Selo.
l LONDON, AUG. "a. The Turkey mail
arrived this morning, bringing letters from
Constantinople to the 9th and from
Smyrna to the Goth ult. One letter states
that the Sultan. Notwithstanding his unal-
tered resolution never to yield to any of
the terms proposed by the Russians, had
begun to experience some perplexity with
regard to his own motions, in the event of
the enemy arriving triumphant at the
gates Of his capital. Little could be ex-
lpected from his presence near the scene
of active operations, whereas ii was of the
highest importance that his person should
be far from the reach of the Russians.
The city of Broussa, on the Asiatick
shore, about 100 miles from Constantine
pie, across the Propontis, was, therefore,
the place supposed to have been selected
by the Sultan as retreat in the first in
stance. Tranquility prevailed in the
capital up to the departure of the mail,
Notwithstanding the uneasiness of the in
habitants.
Letters of the 31st have been received
to-day from Odessa. They state in con-
sequence of the prompt and energetick
measures adopted by the local authorities
on the manifestation of the first symptoms
of the plague near that city, the contagi-
on had been SO completely checked, that
no fears were entertained of its making
any progress. The city of Odessa itself
had escaped all danger Of contagion, and
its inhabitants had sufficiently recovered
from their late alarm to resume their ha-
bitual avocations.
The AHgemeine Zeitung, which arrived
yesterday by the Flanders mail, is full Of
interesting intelligence from the theatre
of war. A Russian corps of 1000 men,
it states, has been landed at Sizeboli, and
united itself to the main army, which
had crossed the Balkan mountains. Err
zeorum, too, has been taken by the Rus
|sians, the whole army of the Seraskier has
been dispersed, and the Armenians whom
the Sultan, by his very i'll judged policy,
alieDated from his cause year or two
since, every where unite themselves to
the Russians as they advance. The loss
of these men, whose relations with the
Turkish Empire are not very generally
understood in England, is of itself an ire
parable disaster. They are the "thews
and sinews" Of commerce throughout the
East, are wealthy peaceable and industri-
Gus, and until lately, enriched the Sultan's
exchequer to an almost incredible extent
Disguised, the Armenians have now turn
ed against the Turks, and with them have
broken down one of the latter's strongest
constitutional bulwarks. In addition to
this disaster, the Sublime Porte has lost
battle at Krki-Kilissa, within 90 leagues
of Constantinople, SO that nothing, it
seems, can now stop the progress ofthe
Russians to the Capital. The same jour-
nal states, that the Sultan's troops are
losing their confidence, that a spirit of
|, mutiny is every where showing itself yet
notwithstanding this, the Divan still "per-
sists in its refusal to come to any arrange
ment."
j Accounts from Smyrna state that 1900
troops were expected there, and would inn
mediately proceed to Adrianople. Omer
Pacha was sent with corps to Schela,
\ the mouth of the Bosphorus, where the
Russians had made landing.
