News is every hour expected in London Of a
decisive battle, which will decide the campaign.

driven into Moldavia and scattered, and the
Turks will quietly take up their winter quar>
tiers at Bucharest, lately the headquarters of
the representations M6scovites. / say this
will be the end of the campaign, for the rainy
season 10 setting in, and no more Russian
armies can be marched into the Principalities
this winter. All Europe is amazed at this un.
expected result, and expressions of popularfeel-
ings are breaking out loudly and enthusiastic
cally. Last night at the opera at Paris, the
audience cheered the Turks, which is the liberal
side, strange to say, and vehement cries Of
"Down with the Russians" were uttered
What will happen in the spring it is hard tr
tell. The Emperor of Russia will hardly put
up quietly with such q humiliation as he has
received, but England and France are fully

Russian army, which they predicted was going
to gobble up poor Turkey without remorse.--
The revolutionary party all over Europe is wide

that Hungary 10 up again. In that case, Italy
and Germany will take another pull at the same
rope, and we shall see queer things and doings.
