GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
By the overland mail from India impor-
tant intelligence had reached England.
1t is said the Gear had formed an alliance
with Dost Mahomet, to proclaim against
the British in India, if England persists in
supporting Turkey. A large Russian force
is to invade Bakhardi The Persian ar
my was voilsvting in the valley or oool-
tania, to cooperate with Russia against
Turkey. Consequent upon this news the
British parliament was to assemble forth
with. Reports from Constantinople ex-
pressly contradict the statement that Per
sia was hostile to Turkey.
The emperor of Russia had issued an
arrogant manifesto, in which, after recap
itulating the leading points in the contro-
versy, he says: Turkey having enrolled
in her ranks an army of revolutionist from
all countries, has commenced hostilities OF
the Danube, and Russia has been pro-
voked to combat, and now no other means
are left than recourse to arms, to compel
the Porte to respect treaties and obtain
reparation for the offense committed bv
the manner in which it responded to our
most moderate demand made on behalf of
the orthodox faith in the east" THIS
documents dated Nov 3D.
The French Consul at Eucharist, under
date of November 9Th, telegraphed as fol-
lows:
ON the 2i and Sd inst, the Turks eros
sed the Danube from Cortukai, $4,000
strong; on the 4th the Russians attacked
them with 5000, and after brisk canon
ade and combat by bayonet, the Turks
maintained their position. The battle las
ted three hours. The Russians lost several
officers, 1856 privates, superior officers,
and 18 subalterns were killed and 479
wounded" The loss sustained by the
Turks is not stated. Another account
from Vienna says IA Russian officers were
killed, and the Turks remained master of
the field, the Russians falling back on Bu-
charist.
Before the Turks had crossed the Dan
ube, a body of Cossaeks came to the river
bank and made signs SO insulting that the
Egyptian force rushed to the boats and
rowed over in TIE face of the fire of the
Cossacks, and completely routed them,
chasing them inland, and then returned
in triumph to their camps.
Advices from Conslantinople say that
Selma Pacha had crossed the Russian
frontier in Asia, and two battles, ensued
in which 5000 men were engaged on
