English and French papers to the 10Th Sept.
are received, giving details of the further pro-
gress of the Russian armies in Turkey, from
which we make the following extracts
From the London Times Of Sept. 10.
The last Russian bulletins present a
mass of intelligence, of which for the con-
venience of our readers we shall give a
general view. The operations recorded by
General Diebitsch embrace an extensive
| field. From Aidos, as centre, the Rus
sian General has, within a few days, swept
with different corps of his great army, an
/ arch approaching to semicircle, the north
ern point which rests on Shumla, the south
ern on Adrianople On the 10th ult the
seventh Russian corps was IN possession OF
Karnabat. valuable central point among
the mountains, placed at junction Of sew
| eral roads, in a direction w. N. w. of
( Aidos. and about one third of the way
/ between the latter post and Selimno. At
/ the same time Count Diebitsch ordered the
second corps, under Count Pahlem, to oc-
/ cupy Karabunar, about 40 miles due south
| of Aidos, to push its advance guard long

! The easy execution of these orders proves
now slenderly the Turks held possession OF
their own country. and how paltry was
7 their general resistance to the invader.
! With view to cut off the communications
J of the Grand ViZier with Adrianople, and
to establish himself on an inner line of posts
! in direction nearly parallel to the Danube,
but in the nature of third parallel towards
! Cohstantlnople, Count Diebitsch combined
! a double movement, one Immediately
/ against the rear of Shumla, the other
( against the town of Salimno and the great
road leading south from it, by Janbol, to
! Adrianople. General Krasowski executed
the former of these operations, by iorcing
his way from Marasch through Eski-Stam-
! boul, and to the westward of it, thereby
blocking up the central road which runs to
Adranople by Karnabat The TROOPS of
the Vizer on this occasion, seem to have
given way after very light fighting, and to
have lost between 500 and 600 men. In
pursuance Of the second project, which was
executed on more extensive scale, Gener-
al Sheremetief, of the seventh corps, pro-
ceeded from KaInabat about the 29th of
July, to feel for the Turks towards Jambol.
On the road thither, with one brigade of
/ Hulans aDd some Cossacks, he fell in with
corps of no less than fifteen thousand of the
enemy, commanded by Hail Pacha. The
I dispreportion must have been eight or ten
to one, and yet ii appears that the Russian
cavalry attacked and overthrow the Pacha's
army, drove them into the town of Jambol.
and burnt the Turkish camp. The extreme
dlstrust of themselves and broken spirits
of the Ottomans, showed itself in shame
full flight from Jambol, from the apprehen-
sion that 100 Cossacks, who were left be-
fore the town in observation by General
Sheremetief, when he retired to join his
quarters at Karnabat, were but the advanc-
! ed guard of the whole Russian army, which
was destined the next day to attack them.
Learning that the Grand Vizier had made
bis wsy out of Shumla by the western road
selmh0 in the s0pposlt5ff t5Sff ffRdd qaSSut te
from thence to Adrianople would be unoc-
cupied, Count Diebitsch drew together
troops from every quarter, from the corps
before Shumla, from Aidos, Sizeboli, Kar-
nabat, and Karnabunar and with two
corps d'armse, a division of third corps,
and large body of cavalry-altogether
perhaps, not far short of 10000 or $4,000
men-he moved upon Selimno, and on the
18th attacked the Vizier in his position at
and before that place. The engagement
appears to have been neither long nor doubt
1 ful. The Turks were beaten without any diff.
ficulty, and dispersed with loss to the Rus
slams of not more than 60 men. Indeed, the
account given by the bulletin very candid
ly clips the laurels of the conquerers, by
stating that "the terror of the enemy is so
great, that he has not courage to make any
considerable stand, and it appears that in
this respect the leaders of the troops set
the example" What can be hoped for by
any army when its chiefs are the first TO
run away? What, again, can be hoped for
state, the subjects are every where emu
lous to obtain an invaders friendship ?
The bulk Of the inhabitants of Bulgaria are
Christians, and come forth in crowds TO
seek protection from the Imperial troops.
The issue Of matters at present is, that on
the goth Count Diebitsch entered Adrian
ople, with his army, having met with no
! further resistance. He had already formed
a new basis, on which to rest his forces
from Selimno on the right, TO Aidos on the
left; Adrianople, Kirk-klissi and through
Tirnowe to the Euxine, would form still
closer line OF Investment towards Constan-
tinople. On the coast itself he has extend
ed his garrsons southwards, by the recent
seizure of Wassiliko and Agteboli both
lying between Sizeboli and the capital.
which fell to Admiral Greig and his ships.
If the Russian arms be now arrested, it is
unquestionably not by force.

the details of the triumphal entry of the
Russian army at Adrianople, its Command
er-in Chief riding at its head, and the whole
population assembled as on day of fete. to
enjoy the splendid spectacle. Only 5000
men were kept within the city the rest
were disposed of in several directions, and
a corps was sent ten leagues in advance, on
