FALL OF SlLISTRIA!
ne RUSSIAN troops arc marching on "conQuering
ana 10 conquer. An early consequence of the defeat
OF the rand ViZer has been the fall of the n,port-
ant fortress OF Slistria, which so completely with.
s:co! the prowcss and batlcd the skill OF the Mus
covne during the last campaign The capitnlarion
did no take place until the last moment of fruitless
resistance had arrived for after succession of saes
and fierce attacks OF the besegers in which the be-
Seers were always repulSed, the Turks surrendered
only as the Russians were on the point of entering
by breach opened through the walls of the fortress.
The following ali the particulars we have as vet
received OF tins important event:
Intelligence otthe captu,e oi Silistra was transmit
TED by telegraph from Strasbourg Paris OH Friday
night. The Augsburgh Gazette, which reached us
Yesterday, contains the following Bulletin dated Blu
charest, July ,, received by exprcss:-"At this mo-
mcnt courier, sent off from Silstria by 1t. Geu.
krassowsky, has arrived with the intelligence of that
place having fallen under the victorious attacks of tho
Russians. The Turkish garrison, who after an OBJ.
stinate resistance, haG been reduced TO the last ex
tremty, havesurrendcred themselves prisoners ofyvar
The garrison consisted OF men, exclusive of the
inhabitants In this number are IIady Achmet and
S"Tt Mahmud both three tailed Pachas, and many
other ohlcers The trophies oftLis victory are $50
pieces OF cannon, two horse tails upwards OF 100
stand OF coiors, the hota OF the Danube and n
great quantity OF ammunition and provisions" The
Berlin State Gazette gives the following version of
ms evcni;--"The garrison consisting of 5000 men
ana Inc nhaoltants IN arms to the number of OO0O
are made prisoners OF The Grand Nizicr is
closely biockadcd at Chomla by Gen. Dicbitsch. &"
letter OF the 18th inst from Vienna says upon the
same subject: 81 hasten to inform you that VIC have
ust received advces Of TIE capture of Sstria which
surrendered by capituIatun to the Russian army on
he 30th Of June
The surrender ofths fortress is an event of hirh |,
Importance, as 1t wall hasten and render almost GER
tam the fall OF GIurgevo and tudshcuck. Thus,
with the exception of Widdn, against which undoubt-
eddy fresh efforts will be successfully directed the
whole line ofthe Danube is secured to the Russians
as the bases OF their future operations, and the war
WILL as 1t WERE have Bulgaria for its theatre
ho lint ,l,o
OF the empire in Romea. Choumla is not the ONLY
passage across the Balkan opened to the Russians
The route from Sophia to Philoppos does not pre-
sent the same difficulties and besides by LEAVING
Choumla, with its reduced garrison TO be observed by
numerous corps, several other roads open the plain
IF AdrianopIe 10 the Russians The question now is !
whether the fall cfSIs;ra Will induce the Porte to
ccede 20 the propositions Of Russia and if he still
etuscs, whether Turkey may look for the succour
Of any European Power"
The Paris Constitutional of the LIST June, after
making summary of the state of affairs in the east
comes TO the conclusion that the Turk, have lost the
advantage they gained ia the early past Of the con.
test ard that the hopes founded OH the military svs.
TEN OF The OtroinanS have entirely vanished The /
F.! arks have lost all confidence by the dispersion of
their troops and The taking of Silistra.
From this time the war must take very decisive
Character The Russian reserves have been put in |
motion to JOIN the active columns, and nothing can
prevent the passage of the Balkan if il has been re-
solved at Pctersburgh. 4 single day has turned the
tables The Turks nave lost all confidence by tho
dispersion OF the cops d'cite. The surrender Of
Sistra which ls the first consequence of the defeat

Ruischuck, Gurgeve, &c.
We learn from tho Ausburn Gazette "tbat the
Grand vlzicr is collecting ali the troops ne can at
Chonma, and hopes to be- able to assemble 40 900 /
men without weakening the garrison Al the men !
able TO bear have departed for the Balkan: tho
Turks admit that the number of men and artillery lost
by them IN the battle Of the TN was very consider
able. Some persons still hattcr themselves with the
hope OF peace, and speak Of agents having been sent
to tho Russian camp. Ali Pachs, it appears, was
killed IN the battle Of the iith The Captain Pacha
has not yet returned from the Black Sea" The |
Gazette gives another letter from Constantinope of
