From them geher that the ranks of the Russian army OF

Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts made 10 keep
everything secret still the news had spread among the
troops the allied feet had been victorious in the Back
Sea Many officers he'd sent in their resignatons they
ha0 not been accepted, and the officers mad been de-

Or the 10th met regiments OF the 9th Russian Corps
Arme had arrived at Gunii; they had been nine months
the coming from Moscow, and had Tered greatly
Two bataons of this corps had been left at Iis, two at
Akhalkalkh and two at Baalchck. From all the Nor
nation have gathered it is quite certain that the enemy
has than IS 900 regular troops In and around
Gumiviz infantry, IA battaons, mastering from OOOto
7COmen EACH cavalry one regiment of Hussars one reg
of Cosacks Of the Don, and 500 mounted Georgian
itiamen TO pieces of cannon and 900 Irregular
or BASH Bazouks Great mortality had prevailed among
the troops during the winter Some weeks ago one reg
ment Of infantry left 10 garrison the citadel OF Gumr
ard all the other troops encamped outside the walls Since
then the mortality has decreased.
So much for the enemy As for the Turks they do not
seem to think Of advancing yet Inc men ana horses De
tw days ago from Bagdad and Aeppo via Erzeroumi II
you except few pieces Of cannon now on their way up
from Tebzond achievements are expected and
as il seems decided Constantnople that French
English troops shall be sent this way may at last hope
ttai tie Commander in Chief will decide upon marching
against the foe.
The best spirit still prevails among the troops they wish
TO encounter the enemy; thing is in good order the
dry has set in, the roads are good and It Is hh
time that something should be done 10 wash away the
stain of last year defeats.
JUNE 3O.-Last night the mail from Constantinople
came in. This morning the Grand Council assembled,
Commander III Chief Musspba Zarf Pasha presiding and
the plan OF march onward was at last laid on the tdpn
Unfortunately great deal of dssenson prevails among
the Generals and fear that even now nothing VIII be
decided upon.
Gen Guyon with with his usual determination and en-
ergy proposed marohn Immediately toward Tiais, and
by bold maneuver striking the enemy with terror HIS
motion was. however, oveTruled by large majority OF
those belonging to the peace Society" We have quite
as many OF them here as there are in England.
Gen. Guyon's plan was simply the following; On
stated day the army Of Baioum would attack huais after
Akska. On the same day the garrsons Of Van and
Bayaz.d would concentrate and ATTACK Ervan Ihe
troops of Kars having left sufficient force before Gumr
on the re BIT bank OF the Arpsohs would attack and take
Akhalkalakbi, and then march toward Tifis. kutais
and Ervan having surrendered, the troops OF Envan
would surround Gumr the other side, while the armies
Of ksrs and Batoum, having effected their Junction,
would march together toward Iitiis
The Turks were frightened out of their wits when
Gpyon with real English pluck made what they consid
cred such rash proposal and ms plan was, nave "
Tho General then again proposed Two other pians
still toward TiAs the by Aiska the other by Ervan
They were also deemed impraccabls The fact Is, that
the Turkish commander is utterly incapable OF dorg any
thing not from ant Of army but from his utter want
OF knowledge how to IT, he and the other native
generals know absolutely nothing Of military operations
on large scale. They can understand thai II smah
body of the enemy in such and such place Is proc
able he beaten by nding very superior force TO
attack H. but il never into tser head 10 try TO
drive the enemy from his position by maneuver, aud
not by force. Ii is, then, very iInprooaole tnat
coo or 5000 men be marched IL Inherent dlree
tons and then concentrated sgain, so as "a eject
an object by generals 10 whom strategy Is an
unknown science With men scignorani, the bes'panned
operations must fail. They bent upon besegng
Gumr that is upon breaking their heads against stone
wall. The for,ihcatons OF Gumri are very strong the
garrison numerous and the magazines well stocked
The Turk army deficient in batterng and reg
uar siege would hold out chance Of success Sui tins
is the liked idea of the commenderinchiei and unior-
natey the Polish generals being principle 10 ev-
cry proposed by Guyon, have sided with him and
uphold his plan. All the other European officers are
averse 10 IL and have signed to-day protest, in which
they state that the order given they x do every
in their power 10 insure the Of the operations; bun
being OF quite contrary opinion they decline any rspon-
sibility in such false step.
Three Crcsssans have arrived after passing the Rus
sian lines. They bring news from SchamyL he II with
40 600 horse a. some three days march IRON 1s. He
n,gss strongly on the Muskr the necessity of sdvanen
