ofintelligencc furnished by them will be found
in the following extracts
From the London Courier
We have received such mass of foreign
intelligence, that we have no room to COM
ment at length upon its nature. 1t appears,
however, that up to the 9th of August, Gen.
Dlebitsch had not continued his advance
towards Constnntinople, although in proc
.amatlon, lamenting the obstinacy of the
Sultan, he had declared that he would fol-
low up his victories for the purpose of COM
pelllng him to listen to the voice of reason
and humanity. If it be true, as the &C
counts in the French papers tell us, that
the Grand Vizier had quilted Choumla, and
succeeded in throwing himself into Adri-
anople, the reason why Gen. Diebitsch re-
manned stationary, is at once revealed.
Gen. Krassowsky, on the 9th July, met
two detachments of Turks, who had left
Choumla with 10000 men, and had taken
position on the right bank of the Straschi.
The Turks attacked Gen. Krassowskv's
TANKS, and were repulsed, when the Rus
sian troops returned to Jeni Bazaar.
On the Both July, Maj. Gen. Scheremetieff,
who had left Karnabat TO make a reconnos-
ance towards Jambol, encountered, under
the walls OF that place. $1,000 Turkish cav
airy and infantry. They were repulsed.
Two regiments entered the town and burnt
the camp. On the 3lst July, the Turks
hastily retreated towards Adrianople and
Eskl Saar. Gen. Roth's corps was encamp-
ed before Aldos, Gen. Rudiger's in Karna-
bat, and Count Pahlen's in Karabunar.

tity of ammunition and provisions were
found in Jambol.
Gen. Rejowsky, on the Sd Aug, entered
the village of Dobrol, which the Turks i'm
mediately abandoned The battalion sent
to the village of Murader, dispersed the
Turks, and released the Bulgarian inhab-
itants, who returned to their habitations,
soliciting the protection of the Russians.
FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR.
The Journal of ST. Petersburg contains
the following =" From the Camp at Aidos.
July 25th 10Th Aug. Soon after his arrival
at Aidos, Count Debitsch learned that the
Mahometan inhabitants of some villages
near the town, who had fed into the noun
tains on the approach of our troops, had ex-
pressed wish to return to their homes with
their families, and there to live under the
protection of the army; the General has
tened to take advantage of this wish. AT
ter this communication the inhabitants of
IL villages, all Mahometans, encouraged by
the assurances of his Excellency, had de-
lvered up their arms to us, and returned to
their homes, and have received from the
COMMANDMENT Chief letters of protection
and safeguard. The same measure is be-
ginning to be carried into effect further on
towards Adrianople, and several villages
have submitted and delivered up their arms
to the vanguard of Count Pahlen's corps, at
Faki, promising to remain quiet under our
protection. Under these favorable circum-
stances, the Commander-in-C Chief has
thought proper to issue a proclamation 10
the inhabitants of Romelia," (of which the
following is the substance y
The Commander-in-C Chief of the Russian
army cannot but regret that the Ottoman
Government rejects, with great obstnacy,
the proposals made to it in the name of his
Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias,
the acceptance of which would put an end
to the evils of war. He is thus placed I'M
der the absolute necessity of following up
his victories, occupying the country, and
advancing as far as Providence shall please,
in order by this means to compel the Sultan
TO listen to the voice ofreason and humani-
ty.
In fulfilling this painful duty the Com
mander-in-Chief feels the most ardent de-
sire to spare the peaceable inhabitants,
Mahometans as well as Christians, the bur-
dens of military occupation-or rather to
prevent their ruin, which would be inevita-
BILE, if, terrified by the approach of the army,
they should take the unhappy resolution to
abandon their dwellings, their villages, and
their towns.
The Commander Chief has therefore
thought fit to issue the following notice:
All Mussulmen are called upon to remain
in their habitations and possessions. They
are, however, to give up all their arms,
which will be punctually restored after the
conclusion Of peace.
The inhabitants shall enjoy entire liberty
in tho exercise Of the Mahometan religion.
