GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.-By the
overland mail from India important in
telligence had reached England. 1t is
said the Car had formed an alliance
with Dost Mahomet, to proclaim against
the British in India, if England persists
in supporting Turkey. A large Rus
sian force is to invade Bakhardi. The
Persian army was collecting in the val
ley of Sooltania, to cooperate with
Russia against Turkey. Consequent
upon this news the British parliament
was to assemble forthwith. Reports from
Constantinople expressly contradict the
statement that Persia was hostile tO
Turkey.
The Emperor of Russia had issued
an arrogant manifesto, in which, after
recapItulating the leading points in the
controversy, he says: Turkey having
enrolled in her ranks an army of revolu-
tionists from all countries, has com
menced hostilities on the Danube, and
Russia has been provoked to combat,
and now no other means are left than
recourse to arms, to compel the Porte to
respect treaties and obtain reparation
for the offense committed by the man
ner in which it responded to our most
moderate demand made on behalf of
the orthodox faith in the east" This
document is dated Nov. Sd.
The French Consul at Eucharist,
under date of November 9Th, tele-
graphed as follows:
"On the Cd and Sd inst, the Turks
crossed the Danube from Cortukai,
1900 strong; on the 4th the Russians
attacked them with 5000, and after a
brisk connonade and combat by bayonet,
the Turks maintained their position
The battle lasted three hours. The
Russians lost several officers, 1856
privates, superior officers, and 18
lsubalterns were killed and 479 wound
ed" The loss sustained by the Turks
is not stated. Another account from
Vienna says ID Russian officers were
killed, and the Turks remained master
of the field, the Russians falling back
on Eucharist.
Before the Turks had crossed the
Danube, body of Cossacks came to
the river bank and made signs so in
sulting that the Egyptian force rushed
to the boats and rowed over in the face
of the fire of the Cossacks, and COM
pletely routed them, chasing them in
land, and then returned in triumph to
their camps.
Advices form Constantinople say that
Selma Pacha had crossed the Russian
frontier in Asia, and two battles ensued,
in which 5000 men were engaged on
each side; when night came on both
armies fell back, and the engagement
was renewed the next day, when the
Russians were defeated.
The boy officer, Selma Pacha, then
fell back to the main body of the
Turkish forces, and the Russians being
reinforced by which their number was
augmented to $1,000, another engage
ment took place, and desperate con-
flict ensued. The Russians were again
defeated, and fed in disorder; they
were pursued by the Turks, who sue
ceeded in planting their standard upon
the Russian quarters at Orell, and the
Russians fell back to Eucharist, where
the main body, $4,000 strong, under
Gen. Danenbery is posted.
The news is thus summed up: The
Turks have beaten the Russians in
Asia, and the Turkish left wing in Eu-
rope has beaten the Russian right,
comprising the principal force of the
Russians, and the Turkish center had
beaten s, 200 Russians, and were at the
last accounts pressing upon Bucharest.
1t is deemed hopeless now that
diplomacy can end the difficulties, until
after decisive battle.
The typhus fever was raging in the
Russian ranks, and had reduced the
number of fighting men to 85, 1000, and
no reinforcements can reach them
sooner than six weeks.
The Porte has decided that Foreign
Refugees shall not be employed in Eu-
rope, but may serve in Asia.
