Srtf, 10 iuciinc inc mlluS oil the pCOpse III his favor, <
bat the manner in which the Sacred Standard had
been conveyed from Terapia to RAMS Tchifiik hasi
all the Mussulmen. The Sultan rode in n
carriage, and had the Standard of the Prophet CARR
cd cpon 1t. This is an unhea<d of, and, in the eyes
OF the faithful, indecorous innovation which, at this
moment, looks Ike resumption. People in the streets
were heard to say, 1T would be better he should 90
on foot to the army, than let himself be rocked at
case here" This temper Of the people cannot be un.
known to the Sultan. and he was very rloomy on the
way. The saiutes of the English men of war in the
bay of Bnlukdere, fired in his honor, seemed to cheer
him a ltfp2Aud he Immediately ordered the Captain
Pacha to go on board the English ships and thank
them for this compliment.
The accounts from the army, or rather from Adri-
anopie' (for there is no Turkish army, any where to-
gether1 are very unfavorable. 1t is feared that the
Grand Vizicr Is closely shut UP in Choumla, aud that
the place will surrender. Urgent orders have been
sent to uusscm Pacha. ut Rudschuck to relieve the
Grand Fizier at Choumla, if it is still time. Jamboli
Is taken by the Russians, and Osman Pacha is now
marching with 6OO0 men on the way 10 Kirh Kiiissa,
in order to save that place If possible. Adrianople
Is defe ndcd by AbdouIa.man Pacha, and some oii-
GERS OF engineers are to be sent TO him to superintend
the works.

with a general fire during this crisis, the Grand Seig-
nor has given ont a iirinan, ordering that a sentinel
should pass the night IN each house, where several
butts OF water age always kept ready, and engines
have been placed III many paIts OF the town. The
acceptation Of the Treaty OF London, following the
declarations OF MIR. Gordon, and which probably has
been rendered custer by the explanation given by the
PTusSian Ambassador, has made the most favorable
impression, for Mr.. Gordon, having thus surInountcd
the first driicrl,ies, continues his negotiations on a
large and solid basis.

OF WALLACHIA, Aug. ID.
a courier from ChouInla to Bucharest has brouol, /,
bad news to the President, as the saying poea. II is
reported that the Russian corps Of observation has
suffered considerably by Il sally Of the Turks, made a
'c" Gays ago OUT OF Chourlia; Notwithstanding, tho
corps was still considered strong enough 10 face tbe
Grand Vizier-but he vcntured TO come ont Of the
fortress u cccond time II day or two afterwards. and
his second attack against the Russians was so very
succes5iul' that he has driven them out Of their po-
si,!ons, made 1000 prisoners. and Obliged them n rc-
treat to Jcdi-Bazar. II is further stated that the
Turks have again taken two strong positions near
ChouInla.
The reserve troops, p ZOO in number, who n,se,d
the Pruth in the course Of July, near Wasgluy.. have
been ordered TO Giurgevo, and the rest 10 the rigbt
side Of the Danube. General Kisselow has sent q. 0oo

Giegmar in Little Wallachia. There is no doubt tbai
tie Turks are again in possession Of Racbou1. and
the inhabitants OF Little Wallaclia are therefore in
great fear Of an invasion by them. ACCORDING 10
