LONDON, Friday, Jan ID, 1854
TIE tdings from the East continue to surprise the
politicians OF Western Europe. Whenever TIE qucs-

gave such ascendaney to the peace psrn in the
D,an that the propositions of the Four Powers were
accepted on the 3lst ult., with notifications,
though we are not informed whether they include the
revision of the ancient treaties Those notifications
were again accepted by the Four Powers, and for
warded to the Car. 1t seemed therefore more than
probable that settlement in the Russian sense would

as the Emperor is not willing to fight singe-handed
the battle OF European liberty which is sufficiently die
tasteful 10 him. But the riot Of the theological stu
dents at Coustantnople forced tho peace party OF the
Divan to send orders to the armies of Asia and Europe
to resume the offensive and Lord StrAtfcrd readily
consented to such order since by the delay sccored
to the Russians through English diplomacy at Consan
tnople from the time of the battle Of Oltenitza, tho
corps Of Osten Sacken, A 900 men strong had been
enabled to arrive in the Prncpalities and to re-
enforce Prince Gorebakof's army. The defeat Of
Omer Pasha was, therefore, nearly certain, and 1t
would of course render the Turks more favorable to
the peaceable advice of Lord straord indeed moth
ing but deleat of 0mers army could stem the tide Of
public inden against Rechid Pssha and his peace
policy supported by English iutngues. But contrary
10 the expectations of Lord Stratford and Of the Euro
pean politicians, Omer received permission
again to act vigorously he attacked the Russians, under
General Fishback at Tshesa and took their nrenched
position on the 9th of January by storm; $500 are
said to have been slain and several cannOns captured
This new battle more important than that of Oentza,
where the Turks remained the defensive, and
satisfied to repel the attacks of the Russians while at
Tshetal they storned an intrenched position, is
deadly blow to the prestige OF the Russians Under tho
impression of such defeat the Car dares not consent
to an agreement SHOULD il even give him all the polit
zeal advantages he requires. The honor Of Russian
arms must first be reganed by great victory in
Europe before he can treat with tho sultan, as the
Serbs and nod0 Wallachans would soon become aware
that all his boasted power not sufficient even to
keep against the open force of the Sultan the provinces
which he had acquired by stealth

should only prevent the English, but not the Rassans,
from doing their duty. IL is not yet known what effect
