From the Danube there is new report OF de-
esve victory Gained by Omer Pasha over 'en Luders
but of THE affair have nothing beyond teiegraphic
dispatch By way Of Vienna the great mandatory OIL

20 GOO strong, oyerhaued LADDERS somewhere between
Siisri, and Rassovs, the latter being place On the
Danube some ten miles above Chernavoda, and that
while Omer Pssha was pressing the Russians in front,
another corps sent around for the purpose, fell upon
their flank. and so between the two fires they were
used up This is not an impossible thing, but we do
not ace how Oner Pasha could concentrate SO large
force at auy point below Slstra with such rapidity
a. to take L0ders unprepared. According to the last
previous adyices, the gross of his army,-which alto
ceber canno. be more than l20 OCO strong, including
the garrsons that must be provided for along his ex
tended lne-was being collected at Shums, some
hundred miles from the scene Of the reported battle,
ard it is not an easy thing to surprise an enemy at
sucb distance where 20 900 men have to be brought
upon the field to do it, Still we repeat it possible;
the next steamer will probably inform US whether
is true.

but that it is extngubhed by the disaster it would be
impossible to believe Men and leaders will no doubt
appear TO renew the contest and carry harrassng
guerrilla war at least against the Turkish forces on
the frontiers. Whether it will become anything more
serious must depend upon circumstances as our read
ers will in another column extensive conspiracy
of Greeks and Russians came near exploding in the
midst of Turkey; accident put the whole into the
hands of the Porte, but other such conspraces may
occur without any interpCsng event to hinder their
course. Meanwhile the allied powers ply the Greek
Court with mensces and land troops in Turkey as il to
take final possession Of the country for themselves.
Most OF these forces still remain near Conssantnope,
though at the instance of the French ambassador,
detachment has gone north to yarna where there is
likely to be fighting any day. Ii is doubtful how
ever whether the body OF the allied forces will so
soon engage in the active work of the campaign This
point cannot be determined till the commanding gen.
erals arrive at ConstantinOple.
In the Baltic Sir Charles Napier still remains in
the vicinity of Stockholm, attacking of the Rus
sian strongholds the coast 1t appears that he is
anxious with respect to the gun-bOat hotilla with
which TIE Russians propose to operate against him In
the shallow waters and among the islands OF the Gulf
Of Finland ard has sent to England for small steam
Of light draught which can pursue these boats to
their places OF refuge. On the other hand it is re-
ported by the ST. Petersburg correspondents OF jour
nal of Berlin that the Russian Court is fearful that
Cronstadt cannot stand the onslaught which is ex-
pected from the British Rough and Ready; that the
men.ofwar in the harbor do not succeed well in ma
neuyering and firing even for the purposes of re-
view: and that preparations are even making to re-
sst the debaIkation of hostile land force at that
Iace.
1t is not likely, however, that any attack will take
place in the Baltic until the French fleet has also
rived, and then Cronstadt will very probably receive
the honor of the first bOmbardment. Its capture or
destruction is another questions but before such means
of destruction as the allies will bring against it, its
fall would not be surprising
Tie western powers fatter themselves that Aus
tIia is coming TO their side and derive encour
agement from agreeable things said to the Duke OF
Cambridge at the festivities of the Emperors wedding
But from Prussia there such pleasing intelligence
Altogether Germany stands just where she did before,
and the prospect ofdrawng hernto any en-
goeement in their favor. There is doubt that Aus
tria will be ready to occupy Serbia and Montenegro,
where positive rebellion has broken out against the
Sutan.-but such an occupation, as we have previous
" shown would only be another step toward the par
tiiion of Turkey and would be, in fact, avOra
