of news brought by the Asia, we make the
following extracts from papers
Russia and Tar.ey The Times Paris cor
respondent writes: Dispatches were received
tot day at the Turkish Emb 1ssy from Vienna

ing what was SAID Yesterday about the de-
! feat of the Rus .an Gen. Uschakolf, and tn e

1000 Turks are on their way 10 Frajan's w all
or Ressova, and % ,O0U Turks Tor the same
direction from Saumla; reports are also rife
about advantages near kalafat, but q II these

Russian army, after The passage Of his troops

and even Sebastopol. The Turksare falling
back in good order upon Trajan's wall.
