LoSpoS, August /, 1854.
Some French and English papers yesterday published tel
egraphie dispatches from their Vienna correspondents
according to which, sat TO- M the Esd July, the Rus
slams attacked the Turkish entenehed camp at Giurgevo
but totally defeated with loss of 900 killed and 1000
taken prisoners On going 10 the probable OF those
dispatches find that with the exception of the famous
femda of the Vienna papers profess to know Any
thing Of this battle while the sen-otca Austrian CORES
poaes gives formal contradiction the statement of the
sdeabaa What the Austrian press gives the latest
far from pointing at the probability of further en-
counter between the Turkish and Russian armies The Rus
SLAMS said to have TO the decision, at council oil
held at Bucharest prepare for the denye evacua
ton of walachia while the Turkish commanders have re-
ceiyed the request Of Austria the most positive orders not
to advance In confederation OF the asssr-
that the Russians about to retire. the same papers
mention that the Russian segetran which served before
istra passed the Sh and 9Th July through Galaz As
political motives the general rerograde movement Of
the Russians they aege that the Austrian occupation is
certain and that rupture between Austria and Russia is
not desired by either power.
The direct advces from Gurgevo and the lower Danube
mention change since the late occupation OF that town by
the Turks appears that three English officers were killed
that aara for which Mr. Sidney Herbert will not
be slow claim equal credit he did for the death of
Captain Butler Sistra These advices ooishly persist
in announcing the imminent arrival Of the French
the Danube and that the brigade of Prince Napo
leon would be the first to into Walachthe said
armies according the latest from the camps
Varna continuing fish, hunt drill eat and drink, and
getting the sick list in happy ignorance of the dangers
which the above reports would expose them. 1t that

something evidently contemplated !" but a
on it remains all no-go.
So far the Times very much satisfied with the conduct Of

quenty it argues that must not carry the in the
princpaities The municipalities are indeed the origna
field and subject of the quarreby the way lie which the
Times wants to graft the unwary public; the occupation
OF the prneaes having been expressly declared to be no

having declared that could but ussa has vital
part in the North" Therefore, Choking broadly at the
question: must needs confess that the influential
strokes of the must be delivered elsewhere" In fact,
nothing but Sebastopo will satisfy the Times 1t is
for Lord John Russell say that he does capture
Sebastopol He must do it, SIR Why is the Times e.,
Russiaso anxious have Sebasopol forced from herr Is
because she considers in different light from what Lord
John Russell lately considered it, Is because she thinks
not impregnabe? Surely would be absurd to make that
suppostion. The Times wants force attack of Sebao
pol the allied commanders to force from them protes
siona declaration that mpregnabe indeed which dec
laration will be slow arrive The military correspond
ent OF the Morning Herald expressly states that is sheer
madness TO talk of capture of Sebastopo, the British
has siege train and it would require the previous
capture of Anapa and the occupation of the line Perekop
operations for which he considers the already ad

There would then be professional we do
nothing against Russia in the Baltic There would be pro-

in the Black Lastly there would be the professional
statement Of the Austrian generals that nothing
the allies might then with show speak their Turkish
ally wE do nothing against Russia What do you say
to the Vienna noe?"
Under these circumstances shall certainly be pardoned
for introducing little bits Of diplomatic news

Finland because England refused guaranty her against
all eyenuates The Swedish ambassador has retired from

newspaper (he pres) said to be closely connected with Mr.

should add that the German Diet including Holland and
Denmark have their satisfaction with
Pruan treaty of defensive; by which satisfaction Austria
in the words Of the Herald has put another milestone round
