The Amerlta,s News.

The steamer America brings us stirring news from
the seat OF war; The siege Of Silistra has been
ed; account Of which we publish to-day from tho
Vienna correspondent Of the London Times. Much
importance is attached to this battle and by il
is considered strongly indicative of speedy termna
ton OF the 1t is rumored that the Car has order.
cd his armies to cvacuate the Principses and
the Prutb; and the London Times is so confident OF
this result much eated over the victory of the
Turks at Sisria that it asserts that in short time
there will not be Russian soldier on the Western
side of the Pruth Tho Russian account, however, is
quite different 1t is asserted that operations have
only been temporarily suspended and that the siege
will be renewed. The latter we consider the more
probable story. II is not to be supposed that the
Gar will give up his darling schemes yet awhile 1t
is true that his armies have met with signal defeat
almost every conflict with the Turks thus far but
Russia is able to make better fight than she has
done yet. Russian pride and Russian ambition will
certainly prompt her to do so.
1t was remarked by writer in the April number
of the London Quarterly Rerieo, that the great de-
feat of Russian military op rations has always been
that the number of available troops is incredibly
small in comparison with the number of men under
arms, so that the forces of the Empire generally

small bodies and the main body of the army remain.
ed in the condition Of an army in reserve. 1t may
be so to great extent now, and though the indca>
tons at present by means favorable to the an
ticipation of a Russian triumph in the end, yet we
are not disposed to believe that she will give up the
contest without making much harder struggle for
victory. The possession of the Danuban provinces
and the conquest of Turkey have been too long in con
temptation by the Car for him to think of losing
this chance for the achievement Of those objects UNI
til greater difficulties, and more decisive defeat, have
been met There is nothing very ntmidating in the
course of the allies of Turkey, for the Turks are en-
titled to the credit Of nearly every victory over the
Russians. They have fought with n bravery that
deserves success.
The commercial news shows downward tendency
in the price of breadstufs This is doubtless to be
attributed TO the late victories OF the Turks, under
the hope that Russia will be brought to terms
and peace established; and will have a temp, rary
effect in depressing the grain market As there is
not much probability Of that influence lasting long
we may expect TO hear Of the markets recovering H.
short time tits not to be expected that spectators
will fail to take advantage Of the opportunity present
ed to put down prices
