Known, but it is small in comparison to that

Accounts from Vienna, Ia tho o5th June,
states that the official news Of the victory
obtained by the Russians near Scbou MIA
had occasioned strange movements at that
place. Prince .uetternich not prepared
for such intelligence, was astounded, forth
with dispatched several couriers for Eng.
land and the frontiers of Transylvania: and
rs the plague had for a long time been a
pretext for the march of troops, so on this
occasion it was used for sending troops to
wards the theatre Of war, to reinforce the

Speaking of the victory Of the 18th Of
June, the Constitutional says, the tri-
umphs Of the Muscovite soldiers in the
neighborhood Of Schumla. are greater than
had previously been coniectnred, and more
decisive than could have been ina gined.-

II is inferred from the tenor Of letters
from Madrid that Ferdinand will soon treat
his monks in the same manner as Nah

RussIAS VIcroRY.--Tbe London pa
pers compliment highly the bravery Of the
Turkish army, recently engaged in the
battle near Schomla. The Times in spesk
ofthe official dispatches Of Count Diebitsch
the Russian commander in chief remarks.
"Thirty five or forty thousand Turks:
chiefly infantry, practising the European
discipline, fought an equal number of dis
ciplned Russians for full four hours in the
open field. There is nothing like this in

Diebitsch on this occasion; and that, with a
little more teaching, their officers will be

entitled Devereux is said to be the imagi
