published but being founded on General Bebout-
offs report and not being more authentic, cannot
add 10 our knowledge of the event.
All these Russian accounts ofihe battles do full
justice, although indirectly, to the courage of the
Turks, and show that the Oltomans are still a
brave and warlike race. II is, however, very de-
sirable that authentic intelligence respecting the
movements Of Abdi Pacha should soon arrive, as
the engagements at Achalzick and Basch -kadyk
Lar appear 10 partake far more ola decisive char
acter than those OF which we have hitherto re-
ceived accounts from both camps.

The present critical state of European affairs
will render these publications unusually interesting
during the year 1854. They will occupy middle
ground between the hastily-written news items,
crude specuatons, and flying rumors of the daily
journal, and the ponderous tone of the future his
torian, written after the living interest and excite
ment Of the great political events of the time shall
have passed away. Ii is to these periodicals that
readers must look for the only really Ineligible
and reliable history of current events; and as
such, in addition TO their well-established literary,
scientific and theological character, we urge them
