The overland mail brings the important
report that the Gar had formed an alliance
with Dost Mahamet, to proclaim war against
the Britishin India, if Britain persists in
supporting Turkey. A large Russian force
will invade Bukharia and Persian army is
collecting in the valley of Sooltania to CO.
operate with Russia against Turkey.
Parliament will probably assemble forth
with.
Reports from Constantinople expressly
contradict the report that Persia is hostile 10
Turkey.
The Emperor of Russia has issued an
arrogant manifesto; alter recapitulation Of
the leading points of controversy, he says:
"The Turks having enrolled in the ranks of
their army revolutionists of all countries,
and commenced hostilities on the Danube,
Russia was provoked to the combat, and no
other means were left than a recourse to
arms to compel the Porte 10 respect treaties,
and obtain reparation of an offence by
which 1t responded to our most moderate
demand in behalf of the orthodox faith in
the East, &c." Dated Bucharest, Nov. 3.
The Consul of France at Bucharest, tele-
graphs, November 9th, as follows:
On the I'd and Sd the Turks crossed the
Danube, $4,000 strong. On the 4th, the
Russians attacked them with 5000 men,
After brisk cannonade, the combat was
confined with bayonets-the Turks main
tanned possession of the field. The COM
bat lasted three hours. The Russians lost
several officers-l36 privates were killed,
6 superior officers and Is subordinates, 47O
wounded. The Turkish loss is not stated.
Another account from Vienna, states that
ii Russian superior officers wer killed
The Turks remained masters of the field.
The Russians returned TO Bucharest; be-
fore the Turks crossed the Danube, body
or Cossacks came TO the river bank, made
signs insulting to the Egyptians, who rush
ed to the boats, rowed across in face of the
Cossacks' fire, punished them well, chased
them inland and returned to their camp in
triumph. Several other movements were
made by the Turks along the Danube, among
which, is the rumored destruction of Rus
sian steamer at Horsova.
Accounts from Constantinople, state that
Seim Pacha crossed the Russian frontier in
Asia; battle ensued, in which 5000 troops
were engaged; both armies fell back as night
came on. In the second battle the Rus
SLAMS were defeated.
From Moscow, October 25th'-Bcy, an
officer in Selim Pacha's staff, with a small
force, was suddenly attacked by a body Of
Russian cavalry; Bey fell back, fighting TO-
wards the main body of the Turkish army;
the battle speedily became general; $4,000
Russians were engaged; a desperate con-
test ensued; the Russians were defeated and
fled pursued by the Turks, who planted
their standard at the Russian quarters; al
Orel the Russians were defeated and beaten
back to Bucharest where the main body Of
the army was under General Darenborg 80,
600 strong.
These events are thUs summed up. The
Turks have beaten the Russians in the
East; the Turkish left wing in Europe beat
the Russian right wing, composing the prin.
ciplc force; the Turkish centre whipped
5000 Russians at Purtrpni, and are now
: pressing OH Bucharest.
1t is hopeless to suppose that diplomacy
can put an end to the difficulties until de-
cisive battle. The typhus fever is raging
in the Russian ranks, and has reduced tn,
fighting men $4,000. Six weeks will elaps,
before reiniorcements can arrive.

=. fuges shall not be employed in Europe, Blu
may serve in Asia-Constantinople wa
quiet.

to be ready for sea on the 18th, destination
unknown.
