The overland mail is telegraphed with news Of
vital importance, if true
1t is reported that the Gar Of Russia has form
ed an alliance with Dost Mohamed, TO proclaim
war against the British in India, if Britain persists
in supporting Turkey. a large Russian force is
10 invade Bakhast. 1t is also stated that a Per-
sian army is collecting in the valley of Soolbania,
to cooperate with Russia against Turkey. If the
above is confirmed, the British Parliament will
assemble forthwith to devise measures to meet
the dangers that threaten India, but from other
sources we learn that Persia is not hostile to Tur-
key. So perhaps all is baseless
Russia has declared war against Turkey The
Gar has issued an arrogant manifesto.
The following official telegra phic despatch has
been Ieceived:
The Consul Of France at Bucharest to NJ
de B0urgency, .NOU. 6h.-On the I'd and Sd of
November, the Turks crossed the Danube from
Turnka to ,OltenIzl, TO the number of about
Is, 900 men. On the 4th, Gen. Parol attacked
them with 1000 men, and after brisk cannon
ade, combato of bayonets took place between the

The combat lasted three hours in it the Russians

wounded The loss on the Turkish side is not
known.

private account of this battle saws:
''Anolher engagement has ensued, in which IA
superior Russian officers fell. The Turks remain
ed masters Of the field; and the Russians were
retreating to Bucharest. Previous to the battle,
the Turks had constructed building and tete de
pont at KaaGat, which served as a basis of their
operations. 1t appears that Omar Pacha crossed
at three points with Is ,000imen Il, 900 at Often
tza, 1000 at Kalavache, at 1000 at Guirgovi.---
Skrrmlshes continually occurred at the outposts
Before the crossing of the Danube a body of
Cossacks came to the river bank and made signs
OF insult to the Egyptians, who rushed to their
boats, rowed across the river in the face OF the
Cossack fire, and having punished them well,
chasing them some distance inland, returned in
triumph to their camp"
There are rumors Of several other movements
of the Turks at different points along the Danube
also the destruction of Russian steamer at Hor-
sova, but these reports, though probable, do not
rest on authority sufficient to state as facts.

head, is ordered to be ready for sea on the 18th,
but its destination has not been stated.
FRANCE-The trial of the conspirators of the
Opera Comique plot was proceeding. 1t seems
from the evidence, to have been really plot to
assassinate the Emperor
AUsTRIA.-Ausria. is keeping strict watch on
the movements of Servia, and is concentrating
force on that frontier; but otherwise remains neu-
trail. The Servian Government, meanwhile, has
ordered its population to ARM and informed the
Porte that neither Austria nor Russia will be per-
mitted 10 occupy Servia.
1t is said that Austria offers to remain entirely
neutral, if the Porte will refrain from employing
Austrian refugees in the army. As Hungarans
hold high commands in the Turkish army, the
Porte is likely to refuse to accede to the terms,
although not employing them in Europe
LATEsT.-Five Russian officers had arrived
at COnslantinopie, prisoners of war.
