THE RUSSIANS AND TURKS.
We give below the Russian bulletin con-
tanning a brief account of the operations of
the left wing at and in the neighborhood of
Varna, from the l1th of Oct, the date of
our last official accounts from thence, to the
9th of October. 1t will he seen that there
was some foundation for the late report, ola
defeat of the Turks in the field, after the
fall of Varna. But the report was exagger-
ated greatly. The the action took place
between Prince Eugene Of Wlrtemburgh,
who went in pursuit of the Turks, and
Omer Vroine, on the banks of Kamtschik.
The Russians have withdrawn from before
Choumla. Their force consisted of the Sd,
9th, and 9TH corps. The two latter have
beea ordered to proceed to Varna and its
envircns, to defend the approaches to that
garrison; and the latter is to take up
position on the road to Silistria, to cover
the siege Of that fortress, which is 10 be
carried on with vigor. This will be the only
operation undertaken during the winter.
1t is stated that operations against Tur-
key will be carried on with as much energy
as if the Emperor were in the field. We

tention of retiring behind the Danube. One
account says, that they have advanced
beyond Varna whence the Turkish forces
have been withdrawn, to be united with
those of one the Pachas of Burgas.
Great numbers of the wild hordes who
assembled against the Russians, have dis
persed at the approach of winter.
In Armenia, Gen. Paskewitch has ceased
active operations, having completely sue
ceeded in capturing three provinces, six
fortresses and three forts. One of the for
tresses was defended by 10000 Turks, and
considered impregnable.
1t appears that in returning from Varna
t0'Odessa, the Emperor Nicholas, and the
Ambassadors who had accompanied him
thither, had perilous escape from ship
wreck and destruction, by one of those

During the second night after the depar-
ture from Varna, it was repeatedly appre-
hended that the vessels would run ashore
on the Coast of Turkey and when the sun
broke through and dispersed the fog, it was
believed that to save the Emperor there
was no resource left but TO take refuge in
the Bosphorus. At length. however, it was

oner of war, in the hands of Sultan Nah
mould. Fortunately, the vessel, was able to
keep the open sea, and, at length, after four
days in imminent peril, the Emperor Nicho
las arrived at Odessa.
1t was reported at Vienna that disorders
had manifested themselves among the troops
of Count Witgenstien's army; they are at
tributed to the heavy rains which have fall
en- in the countries on tie Danube, and the
bad quality of the provisions.
From Constantirople, Oct. 90, it is stated
that since the fall Of Varna, the military
ornaments are carried on with more activi-
ty than ever. Ammunition and artillery
are continually sent to the army. Troops
from Asia arrive daily, especially cavalry,
which continue their march after hating
for short time. Among them the cele-
brated Tchassan Oglou, one of the most
powerful Beys of Anatolia, with several
thousand horsemen, passed through this
city few days ago.
Intelligence was received from Buchar-
est on the 9th October, that Calafat had
been evacuated suddenly by the Turks.who
had retired to Widdin.
The Russians were bombarding Widdin
on the ID and Sd of November, and had de-
stroyed two Mosques, and set fire TO the fish
market.
The Emperor Nicholas was received on
his return to S.. Petersburgh, with great
enthusiasm.
The Grand Vizier, Mehmed Selim Pacha,
had been deposed and banished to Gallipoli.
Izzet Mehmet Pacha, who defended Varna
to the last, has been promoted to his place.
Johssoul Pacha suspected of treachery in
that affair, has been declared to be SuS-
pected, and his property has been confs-
Gated.

ST. PETERsBUReH, Oct. %.
NelcS from the Army IN Turkey, from the
11tk to the 9th Of October.
Immediately after the taking of Varna,
Prince Eugene of Wrtemburgh, at the
head of his detachment, went in pursuit of
the troops Of Omer Vrione, who had retreat
ed on the road to Constantinople, during
the night of the 18th of Oct. The precip-
itation with which this retreat was effected
did not permit his Royal Highness to over
take the enemy, who abandoned on the
road his ammunition wagons and baggage,
and even lost standard and did not halt
till he reached the right bank of the Kan
tchik, where there are strong entrench-
ments thrown up TO defend a solid draw
bridge over that river
On the Sd (15th) of October, Major Gen
eral Delingshausen advanced towards the
Kamtchik, and discovered that pretty
