The Russians Defeated By the Turks-News of a
Decisirc Battle hourly Expected The Revolution-
arg Spirits aroused, &C., &c.
know from two official sources that the Russians
are getting beat in the Danubian Princpalities. It
appears now certain that they have but 1000 men
in fighting oncition whilst Omer Pasha is superior
| in number and effectiveness. The Turkish General
mas displayed great strategic skill by deceiving
Prince Gortschakof completely as to his movements
He crossed the Danube in four places, and marched
towards the headquarters of the Russians with only
$4,000 men, apparently. This was to invite an at
tack with the whole force of tAs enemy, which has
taken place; but instead of IL 900 men, Omer Pasha
had hurried up for the occasion some 20 900 more
and at the same time an attack in the 6aak and rear
| was likely made by the Turkish troops who had
crossed in other places and had already overthrown
General Perloff at Oltenitza.
News is every hour expected in London of de-
cisive battle, which will decide the campaign. The
rempant Of the Russian army will be driven into
Moldavia and scattered, and the Turks will quietly
take up their winter quarter at Bucharest lately the
headquarters of the toopresumptuous Muscovites. /
ssy this will be the end of the campaign, for the
rainy season is setting in, and no more Russian
armies can be marched into the Principalities this
winter. All Europe is amazed at this unexpected
result, and expressions Of popular feeling are break
ing out loudly and enthusiastically Latt night at
the grand 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
to tell. The Emperor Of Russia will hardly put up
quietly with such humiliation as he has received,
but England and France are fully decided to 60 to
work in the spring il Russia don't leave off bullying,
and stay 81 to hum.''
refer you to the Morning Post Of this day. which
contains accurate intelligence supporting the nor
nation l now send you. The Times, you see, is
taken all aback by the defeat of the Russian army,
which they predicted was going to gobble up poor
Turkey without remorse. The revolutionary party
all over Europe is wide awake, and do not be as
tonished if you hear that Hungary is up again. In
that case, Italy and Germany will take another pull
at the same rope and we shall see quesr things and
doings.
Isend You the war proclamation Of his Majesty of
all the Russas 1t is high time for him to declare
war, when his army of invasion has been beaten.
should also state-and nobody else is able to
state it-tbat all the Cabinets Of Europe have just
received circular from Count Nesselrode declaring
that his august master is going to fight it out. 1t is
no use talking or writing any more; for If Russia
don't fight, and fight better, she'll get licked clean
out Of the Prncipalites and out Of sight too Don't
you think 50?
Prince Gortschakof has written letter, 1t ap-
pears, to the famous Princess Lieven, at Paris to

1t is ridiculous, after much boasting, to see Rus
sia used up quickly by the "circumcised and tur
bsned Turks as Otbello calls the infdels.

The Journal de ST Petersburg, of the 1st of Nov
ember publishes an imperial manifesto, in which it
is said that since Russia has been provoked to war,
nothing is left to her but to have recourse to force
arms, in order to compel the Ottoman Porte to res
pect the treaties. The Russian arms must now ex-
act satisfaction for the insults which Turkey re-
Piled to the Cars most moderate demands in his
loyal sccitude for the defence of the orthodox
Church in the East.
After various fluctuations, the Paris Bouse closed
upon the 10th with decline on the previous day s
prices. The three per cents closed at 73f. G0c for
the end of the month, and the four and half per
cents at 99f. 75c.
From Belgrade, October "a, we learn that detach-
mems of the Austrian troops keep close watch on
the Seryian frontier. The concentration Of large
corps on that frontier is mentioned as probable.
Advices from st. Petersburg Of the 25th ult., in
the Dresden Journal, contain some details Of the
military preparations in that country. Besides the
three corps IN the Danubisn Principalities and Bes
sarabia, there is fourth (mov abe) corps in volhy
MIA and Podolia and large masses of troops are con
centIated in other places. At Krementshuck an
eight regiments of curassiers and four regiments
laEcers, apd eight regiments Of Dragons are sta
toned at Charkow. Besides these, there are hume
rous pulks of Cossacks ready to take the field. Large
bodies Of troops too, are marching to reinforce tho
army urder Prince Woronzof
! The combined fleets had not reached Con
stantnople ON October 27. This city was perfectly
tranquil. The robber chief Yann was to be SEN

is asserted that he is a secret agent Of Russia.
There appears now to be little doubt but that I
good pitched battle has been fought aud that tht
nyicble' Russians have retreated with loss
although there were only 10000 Turks opposed Il
35 COO to a5 600 Russians Fourteen superior Off
GERS are reported as killed; therefore, by the or
dir ary computation, it is but fair to presume
that some two hundred inferior officers shared ,
similar fate, in the company OF seven thousand men
, to cay nothing Of the wounecd. 1t appears tina
Omer Pasha hits hard That this battle has been wo'
and well won by the Turks, there cannot be shad
