rope, and Turkey would need no Western
alliance to preserve its nationality.
The immediate fruits of the alliance
with Austria is the proposed occupation of
Wallachia by Austria, as a feeding ground
for its troops, or the evacuation Of Russia.
This is an insult to Turkey, for TO her
alone the province belongs. Below we
give the important news in reference to
the movements of the Eastern forces -
ANOTHER TURKISH VIcroRr.-Advices
brought by the America say:
"The Russians were totally defeated at
Siobodgie on the 22d July, by the Turks !;
they lost 1000 men, and 500 were taken
prisoners. The Austrian Ccrfespondez
however, contradicts this intelligence
Thirty thousand Ottomans had crossed the
Danube at Oltcnitza. The position of the
armies was ss follows The vanguard of
the allied troops was at Oresti; the Turks
had advanced from Giurgevo to Podima;
the Russian rearguard was retreating,
fighting, upon Kalogeseni. British and
French officers were continually arriving
at Rutschuk from Schumla. The division
of Prince Napoleon would probably be the
first to enter Wallachia. Dispositions to
his effect were already made. Everything
showed an intention to make a serious at
tack on Bucharest, the headquarters Of the
Russians"
Previous advices had represented that
Prince Gortschakoff, commander Of the
Moldo Wallachian army, had his head
quarters at Slobodzie, the scene of the bat
tie above referred to, and had announced
his intention of defending Moldayia and
Wallachia with 100000 men.
1t had also been reported that the ad-
vanced posts Of the Russians and Turks
were near Frateschti, within half league
Of each other.
ADVANCE UPON BUcHAREsr.-The IA
test advice5 state:
The Russians are retreating by. forced
marches from Wallachia, and the Turkish
headquarters are, ere this, at Bucharest
The reason of this hurried retreat of the
Muscovites, without giving battle, is ex
planned in different ways Some attribute
it to the position taken by Austria-otherS
to orders for concentration around Jassy,
while others affirm that it is done at the
request of the Emperor of Austria, that
he may have plea for delaying to carry
ont the articles of his treaty with the
Porte"
"The Russians are retreatng, the Turks
are f flowing close upon their heels. An
Anglo French force is also reported to be
advancing on Bucharest. The sole occu.
patton of Wailachia by the Austrians has
not been conceded. The demand was an
insult Wallachia belongs to Turkey, and
victorious Turkey is to be prevented from
entering her own territery."
The dispatch in the London Time; Of
Aug. End July, says: The Russian army
was in full retreat from Farleschi to Bu-
charest. Its vanguard was at Schelvala,
two hours distant from Bucharest. The
artillery, baggage and hospitals, in three
long columns, were marching towards the
Sereth. The retreat was affirmed to be
from strategic causes."
BUCHAREST, July 3d.-Prince Gorcha-
kof, with the Russian army, passed the
night of the 29th at Sheava and Versch iti,
one and half posts distant fir ON Bucharest.
The Ottomans are following them. They
have passed the Argisch, and are at
Kalum.
The BATTLE OF GlURuEoo.-A CORES
pondent gives the following account of the
battle at Giurgevo, previously reported -
"An engagement took place near Giurgevo
which lasted more than ten hours, and
which resulted in the flight of the Russians
who left behind them, as the Monstenr OF
this mornings records, 1000 dead The
The loss of the Turks was 500. The bat
tie began about nine O'Clock on the 9TH.
The Ottomans were ander the command OF
Hassan Hakk Pacha. An attack was
directed against the island of Kama, stu
ated at the foot of Rutschuck. The Rus
slams, as soon as they were aware OF the
circumstance, got reinfoEcementS from Sla-
posia, and the 6ght began in earnest. AS
far as can be judged from the very mea-
gre accounts which have arrived, It must
have been one of the best contested that
has yet occurred"
The London Times OF Aug. 9th says
"About the time we write, if not on this
very day, a force made up of English.
French and Turks, and amounting TO be.
tween $4,000 and 10000 men, will in
wade the Crimea, and attempt to effect
lodgment on the heights commanding the
harbor Of Sebastopol. The preparations
have been some time in progress, and the
rumored visit of Generals Brown and Can
robert to the Circassian coast with 5000
men, was really TO secure a landing on the
Critnea. We believe we may safely say
that, all things considered, the attempt is
one of unprecedented magnitude and i'm
"Active preparations are being made at
Constantinople for some expedition. Gun
