THE BALTIC'S NEWS.
The news from the seat of war indicates
the probability of a pitched battle between
the Turks and the Russians, on the left bank
of the Danube, the Turks having crossed the
river from Witin, between 10000 and 3d.
600 strong, and taken positions ut Kalfat, on
the western border of Wallachia, whittier the
Russians were concentrating their forces.
This movement appears to have been made
at moment when the strongest anticipations
Of peace had been encouraged by a new pro-
position of settlement from the mediating
powers, believed to be satisfactory to both
hostile parties.
PARIs, Oct. 80, 6P.M.
The Moniteur announces that the French
Government has received an electric dispatch
from its ambassador at Constantnople, bear
| ing date the 2lst instant. Prince Gorts-
cbakoff's reply to the summons Of Omar
Pacha was considered as a refusal. Neverthe-
less, on the entreates Of the representatives
of the four powers, the Ottoman Government
had issued orders for the postponement of
hostilities to the first Of November, provided
that they had not already commenced, in
which case the order was to be considered
void. 'l -r~oao H.n

Some time since, Omar Pacha sent notice
to the Russian commander that, if armed Rus
sian vessels approached too near the Turkish
batteries, they should be fired into To this
message Gortschakoff returned for answer
that, il the Russian vessels were fired into,
they would return the fire. Accordingly, on
the 23d ult., a Russian flotila consisting Of
two armed steamers towing eight gun boats
attempted to ascend the river from the Sulinu
basin to higher point of the river. the de-
c!aration of war by Turkey and the avowed in
tention Of Omar Pasha to cross the Danube
having rendered their presence necessary to
support the main body Of the Russians.
On coming abreast of the Turkish battery,
they were summoned to stop, but, not needing
the summons, were promptly returned the ;
compliment. As before mentioned, some
ten or fifteen ofthe Russians were killed, and
fifty more put hors du combat. The Turk !.
ish loss is not stated, but was probably few or !.
none, although a stray she'll set fire to the ],
fort. The steamers crowded on steam, and, =
badly damaged, managed to make their way J
up the river beyond the range of the Turkish :
missiles. Isaktchi is midway between the :
point Of confluence of the Pruth and Danube
and that part where the latter river divides in
to the branches that enclose the neutral terri =,
tory.
An account says that the fotilla when :
fired into was from Ismae, and was attempt :
ing to place itself in communication With !
lbrala, port in Wallachia, situate on the
left bank of the river.
.a LONDON. Nov. 2.
The Times states in a leading article that
there is no reason to doubt that on the 9th !.
Of October, 5000 Turkish infantry and 2,4oO ),
cavalry crossed the Danube, and occupied T
Kalafat, and that large number of troops
were still crossing over in ba:ges, when the :,
news was dispatched. .e.9 S
The Russians were gathering on the 4
point attacked, aud it was expected that col s
sion would take place on the 2Sth. For the
moment, here is an end to notes and diploma :,
tic conference. Omar Pacha's movement W
appears the extremity of rashness, but he is pl
probably forced to leave in order to preserve Sc
he semblunce Of command. After the Zero. in
'ity of the hostile nations has been satisfied y. ~
by the sanguinary result of useless and OBJ sa
ectless battle, it may perhaps be possible al
o reassert the claims of justice and hunani- tn
y. Whatever may be the result Of this b.
contest, it cannot alter the duty of the West Sd
,rn powers in this emergency. K.
Whether Omar Pacha be successful or Is
whether he be driven back, we are equally s.
bound to maintain the rights of Turkey II
Let the war go as it will, England and a.
France can never permit Russia to reap the nc
