Viemnd, Aug. 8l.-A courier, who lett Con.
stantinople on the nth, arrived this morning
at the hotel of the French Legation with the
news that the Porte, after a preceding declar.
alton had been judged unsatisfactory. had
now signiRed its accession to the Treaty OF
London Of tho eth July, 1897, by a written
declaration, which was such az fully to On.
swer the views Of the mediating Powers. In
another declaration, the Porte declares Itself
ready to send Plrnipotentiaries to the head
quarters Of Count Diebitsch to treat Of peace
with Russia.
"SEMLlN, AUG. 22.-Tn my last gave YOU
to understand that the Pacha Of Belgrade had
fred the guns Of the town, to show his JOY
for tho re.OcCupatiOn Of RachOva, but l was
mistaken; the firing was In consequence OF
the signal victory gslned by the Grand visier
ed ut Jeni. Bazaar. If the reports spread at
Belgrade are to DO believed, the Russians
have lost 5000 men In the engagement, one
Of tho most bloody that has taken place since
the opening of hOstillties. The Turks have
returned TO Choumla with 5000 prisoners
This brilliant success, and the superiority oh.
tained over General GesInar, has exalted the
enthusiasm Of the Turks, who were begin

Bazaar, 10 the more glorious to Nedschsd,'n
being the result of a previous and weil.con'
certed plan. II is asserted that after the vic.
tory, ha left his camp at the head OF 5000
men. Some pretended to know that Gen.
Deibtsch has been obliged to detach u divis-
ion Of HE army, In order to reinforce Gen.
Krassowsky. This diminution Of his forces
may perhaps change his plans, and oblige
him to abandon the position he had just taken
IN the neighborhoOd Of Aidos. The Rus
sian camp at Jeni- Bazaar regulates the move
ments Of General Diebitsch and were Il
once to be forced by the Grand Vizier, the
Russians stationed at Aidos would be obliged
10 fall back towards Varna by the coast oi
the Black Sea. Those, however, are but con-
lectures. The only fact positively known Is
the victory Of the Grand Vizier."
