FROM LONDON AND LIVERPOOL BY TE1FcPApu 7
Wed"esday, Nor. Cd, 1853.-The Times states
IN leading article, that there is no reason =
doubt, that, on the 9th of October. :. 600 Turk
Ism infantry and 2, 400 cavalry crossed the Dan
!, and occupied Kalufal, and that a large num-
per OF troops were still passing over in barges,
when this news was dispatched
me russians were gathering on the point at
lacked, and 1t was expected that collision would
take place on the 28th. For the moment there is
an end to notes and diplomatic conference. Omar
acha,s movement appears the extremity of rash
ness but he Is probably forced to preserve the
semblance of command. After the ferocitv of
the hostile nations has been satisfied bv the SAN
gulnary offering of a useless and obiectless battle,
1t may perhaps be possible to reassert the claims
OF justice and humanity. Whatever may be the
result OF this contest, it cannot alter the duty of
Ihe Western power in this emergency.
VlctorS or vanquiShed, the Turks have still the
same right and claim on the Western Powers: and
the Times does not doubt that the same language
will be held by them, whether the first operation
OF the war shall commence with victory or defeat
to our allies. The article concludes as follows:
eve sincerely trust that the efforts which will
be employed to light from this conhagraton the
flame OF civil discord throughout Europe may fail
OF success, and that diplomacy may extingush
the fire before it be the means of setting the con-
tinent in blaze
The other morning papers contain a dispatch
from Semhn, (name obscure received in Paris,
stating that 90, 600 Turks crossed the Danube on
the 28th Of October, near Widdin, and occupied
Kalapan, which had been evacuated by tie Rus
SLAMS
The Austrian Envoy has submitted to the Sultan
draft of note with the collective guar antee of
the four Powers. 1t is stated this note has been
accepted by Russia.
The next reliable news from the seat of war
will therefore be of intense interest.
