The NEWS BY TIE ARABIA.


The NEWS BY TIE ARABIA.
On Saturday afternoon, too late for our
issue of that day, We received a dispatch
announcing the arrival of the Arabia at
Halifax, with one weeks later news from
Europe. By this arrival we learn that
the question Of peace or war is still
in doubt, though the chances are greatly
in favor of war.
We have further accounts of the battle
of Citale confirming the Turkish sue
cesses. 1t appears that the Russians
were concentrating a force at Citale in
order to attack kalafat on the 18th, but
on the 9th, fifteen thousand Turks march
ed out of kalafat, attacked and stormed
Cibale-had conflict in the field with
the Russians on the 7th, and renewed
the battle on the 9Th, ending in the even
ing with the total discontinue of the
Russians, who confess to four thousand
killed and their Generals Aurop and
Turnout wounded.
On the 9th, the Turks having remain
ed over night on the fields beyond Citale,
attacked the reserve of the Russians, and
drove them back upon Krajova with the
loss of cannon and immense slaughter on
both sides. On the 10th, the Turks hav-
ing raised the Russian Notifications re-
turned to Kalafat. The Turks were com.
handed in this action by Schin Pacha,
Zedlinsky and Mehmed Pacha, one of
whom, probably Mehmed, is reported
killed.
The above victories were officially
announced to the French and British
Embassies. .. ss..- ..--.
There is very little news from Asia.
Letters from Trebizonde of the 9th De.
cember says that Schmayl had organised
Polish rifle regiment, $1,000 strong.
He has plenty of provisions and amuni-
ton, and is organising an army at Dag
heston. The Abyssians are in alliance
with him. ...~
The Hungarians and Poles who had
been waiting at Constantinople for en-
ployment were shipped On the End Of
January for the army in Asia. Klapka
declined an Asian command, but offers
" serve IN Europe.
On the 9Th January, the whole of the
allied fleets were in the Black Sea.
England is actively recruiting her coast
volunteer artillery, and coast defence
guard. Ten thousand men are wanted.
Exertlons are also making to man the
navy, and more ships are fitting out, but
apparently to land forces.
The greatest activity prevails in the
French Navy Yards. The operatives are
ordered to work on Sundays, and every
ship is to be fitted for sea immediately.
A levy had also been made of all seamen
between twenty and forty years old, and
all the Newfoundland fishermen are draft
ed into the fleet. Stores for forty thou
sand soldiers are ready for shipment at
Toulon.
The Roman States arc suffering greatly
from scarcity of food, especially at Fenezza
and Ravenna. A scarcity also prevails
at Naples. The firm of G. and G. Buono
had failed.
Cotton is reported an eight lower in
