TrnxsY. Of,hs state of affairs in Tuf-
key, the Algemeins Zeiiung gives the fol
lowing sketch, under date of Berlin, Oct
l6. From the comments Of the London
Courier, it appears TO be thought By the
editor to be a "mere newspaper Produc'
tion.s
The present state OF Turkey is repre-
sented by ego witnesses as most melnn-
choly, so as, in fact, TO claim pity. II has
been confirmed that in Romelia also the
greater part of the population consists OF
Christians who call themselves sometimes
Armenians, and sometimes Bulgarisns; all
these believed nothing else than that Rus.
sia was carrying on war for the sake OF
conquest, and would take them under its
protection, which is the more pardonaole,
as they were not acquainted with the Rus
sian "Declaralion of war" The popuia-
ton, therefore, even in Adlianople, openly
expressed their JOY at the appearance OF
the Russians, whom they considered as
their deiverers. The Russians will with
draw, the people will fall again under the
dominion of the Sultan, who will hardly
fail to exercise the most dreadful ven
geance. II was hardly ventured to ac-
quaint the people with the melancholy ne
cessily of the retreat Of the Russians; al
ready in their fears they see scaffolds e.
rec,ed in Adrianople, and the Sultan iix
his head quarters there. Whether these
appearances will be realized to their full
extent remains TO be seen. Some conf.
dence is placed in Russia, which has come
forward as The kind protector Of the dis.
tre ssed, and it is hoped will shortly enforce
the stlpulatons in favor of the christian
population. The ruin ofthe Turkish army,
we may say the internal dissolution of the
Turkish Empire, IS without parallel. The
regular troops threw away their arms in
whole bodies; the generosity and humanity
ofthe Russian General had conquered them
more than the bravery and tho perscver.

seen running, with cries Of terror, about
the streets, to save and secure their chill
