LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM
Europe,

she sailed on the 9th ult. we Lave received
Paris dates to the 7th idem. The battle be-
fore Schoumla proves as we anticipated, to
have been very disastrous to the Turks, VINO
had been pursued beyond Marash towards
Adrianople. The Russians were successful
also in Asia Minor. TIE refusal ofthe Presl-
dent of Greece to submit to the sovereignty OF
Russia, as determined by the Protocol of the
Allies of 22d Of March-the confession under
the London head that Great Britain feels too
poor to attack Russia or Turkey, either to
enforce the Treaty Of the eth Of July, or to
nut an end to the Russian invasion-and the
march of Austrian troops towards the seat of
war, render il very improbable that there will
be an immediate cessation of hostilities in the
East
Under date of Berlin, eth June, new
bulletin from General Diebitsch is published,
in which he states that in order to render COM
plete the victory Of the Russian army OF the
18th of June, he has resolved, not only to
pursue promptly the army of the Grand vi
zier, but to prevent if possible, the entrance of
its remnants into Schoumla. The corps of
Count Pahlen was in consequence detailed in
pursuit Of the enemy, and General Kuprya-
noff was ordered TO sustain him. The corps
Of General Roth, to which was added the Sd
division of huzZars, advanced ON the 12th by
Kosaph, upon Marash, and Gen.. Rudiger,
commander Of the advance guard was ordered
to extend his line to Kamzyh. and despatch
strong detachments towards Eskistambaul
and Kortsev. Count Pahlen announced that
the enemy had not appeared at the village OF
Markowre and that they had taken the di-
/, rectiOn of Jankow on the right, and had taken
route accessible only to infantry and cavalry.
Count Pahlen abandoned the pursuit to Gen.
As.,so hoA uod of
Markowre. Count Pahlen found the routes
covered with baggage, arms and ammunition,
as was also reported by Gen. KupryanoF.-
In pursuit of the enemy he found the worst
possible roads, which for twenty wersts (foar
jeagues) presented the marks ofthe most CON-
plete defeat. Prisoners are continually arr
wing. Many detachments of the regular Turk |
ish troops threw down their arms and sub
mitted to the generosity of the cOnquerOrs.
General Roth advanced upon Marash, and |
discovered on the road to the village of Ka-
sepla, near Kangaroo, 1850 cavalry. He de-
tached Prince MadatOw, Who covered his
right wing, with the Alexander and Astrachan
regiment Of hnzzars, and some artillery, to
Rank the enemy and cut off their retreat upon
Schoumla, while the first regiment of Busk.
received orders to attack them in front. The
enemy were dispersed and two artillery stan
dards captured. A small party took refuge
in neighboring redoubt, and were attacked
BY the huzzars, who were at length forced to
retreat, as there were in the redoubt above 500
infantry and cannon. A renewed attack
was made by Gen. Roth, and as the summons
of the garrison by Prince Medatow was an
swered by volley of bullets, it was charged
and carried at the point of the bayonet, the
three cannon and several standards were Ia
ken, and the garrison put to the sword. The
loss of the enemy was 600 men and IL stan
dards. Fifty prisoners were taken. The
Russians it is said had only 100 killed and |
wounded.
Speaking of the victory of the 18th June.
the Constitutional says, % the triumphs ofthe
Muscoyte soldiers in the neighborhoOd of
Schoumla, are greater than had previously
been coniectured, and more decisive than
could have been imagined. 1t is difficult to
predict what effects will be. produced upon
The cabinet of St. James by the news from
Schoumla. 1t is presumable that the views
OF the British Ministry will not be rendered
more favorable to Russia by this intelligence.
On the 4th Of July, the Americans in Paris
to the number OF 80. celebrated the annlver-
sary of Independence. DR.. Kirkland, late !

Leghorn, June n. An Austrian vessel ar
rived here has confirmed the report that a
steamboat, which was in the Russian service
in the Black Sea, had fallen into the hands of
the Turks. 1t is said that the Captain Pacha
will soon go out from the Bosphorus to fight
the Russian feet blockading the Dardanelles.
The Russian Admiral who knows this. has
collected around him great number Of vcs-
sells of war.
Letters from Constantinople speak of the
arrival Of two Egyptian and three Austrian
vessels from Bassora and Trieste. with

English and Austrians who under the mask
OF neutrality protect the Turks with all their
forces.
Russia had contracted loan of 49 millions
forms at Amsterdam, 10 ofwhich were taken
up at the commencement Of the campaign, |
and the balance had been called for. The |
Russian Minister Of Finance considered this |
loan all important, as the obstinate resistance
Of the Turks required more extensive and ef- |
Acacious measures to augment the means VI
