Turkey and Russia.
The latest Geographic dispatches state that the
sultan had placed himself at the head of his
troops.
The general tenor Of the news indicates that ac-
tive fighting had been going along the Danube,
and in Asia, between the Turks and Russians !;
that some decisive battles had been fought the
full accounts of which had not been received but
that the Turks We're generally successful, and in
one instance not only captured several Russian
officers, but their cannon and munitions of war.
Many were killed and wounded on both sides. II
was said, however, that the Turks were compelled
to evacnate The island in front OF the strong Rus
sian possession OF Giurgevo. Fighting was going
on briskly near Bucharest, the Turks fighting with
terrible desperation, and with full, sangune hopes
of eventual success. Paskewitsch was expected
to take command of the Russians. The car was
on his way towards the seat of war.
The Turks, after crossing the Danube, estab.
lshed themselves at ten strong points.
An embargo will be laid on all Turkish vessels
in Russian ports on the 22d Nov
The Turks are determined to have nothing to
do with the old negotiations for adjustment. The
sultan insists upon entirely new propositions and
such as meet his own wishes. He will have these
or nothing, and gain his point, as he asserts, by
whipping Russia.
In Asia, il is said the Turks have had several
battles, and successful in each
There has been great disaiection among the
Poles i'm the Russian army, and many ofthem shot
for INSTRUMENTATION.
The Russian commander had countermanded
the order for the embarkation of the troops at
Odessa, fearing he would have too many, and fail
i'm his plans and also that il might serve to fill the
turkish Heet. .HIte.. Il
The Hungarian General Klapka had received
command in the Turkish army, and acted with
great courage and effect.
Gortschaloff had issued proclamation order
ing all the subjects Of Turkey TO quit the princi-
palities He has also invited the people of the
territories to enroll themselves against the Turks
This producedintense excitement and indignation
and much alarm.
The arming of Servia was going on with great
vigor and activity
The reserved Turkish army under Cossmane,
Refat Pasha, had established its headquarters nj
Sophia and numbering $4,000 soldiers, who will
operate with Omar Pasha, or sustain him in case
Of defeat.
II is also asserted that the czar has thrown him
self upon the defence, and purposes acting in that
way. This is considered rather against Russas
of eventual success.
Rumors of the Russian alliance with Dost
Deest, or Mohammed, in India and China, seems
10 gain credence. This had led TO a large enforce
ment of British troops TO govern Ceskawan.
Ii was reported that Persia was collecting a
arge army 10 operate with Russia against the
Turks, but this turns out 10 be unfounded.
The British are represented as IN bad position |
