The large majority Of persons, however, readily
find an answer to much Of this. They do not deny
that the army may have been tempered with; but
employment will speedily, they say, absorb all other
ceilings 1t did 30 In the Great Napoleon's tiHe-it

and few months will zee the military in full posses

proclaimed himself before all Europe parvenu, Ia
not the man to be scared by the absence Of the wse

reign of a parvenu, must be recreatsd, and that
nothing but stirring times can effect this. These

Tie Pntr,e, however, OF yesterday, again re-
peats its belief in the accuracy OF is previous
information on this subject /. It states tia.
Omsr Pacha had attacked in detail for several days
the different Russian corps, forming together force
OF 80 600 men-that the Turkish troops had inten-
tiopaly retired on their CENTRE aud had drawn the
Russ ans far as Kalefat, position fortified 10

unmarked, causing the Rus dans considerable loss,
whilst The Ottoman reserve, which had passed the
Dsnube in the night, and were concealed behind q
wood took them 10 flank and )m2elled them to re.
treat; AID that the inhabitants OF Lesser Wallachia
had pow fully aidej the Otto nan army. The same
journal goes On to state as information the c,rrect
ness Of which it guarantees that the alleged
of Akiska AID Aexandropol are far from having the
importance which it has been sought to give them,
and that since the adoption Of another plan Of cam
psisu by the Dvsn, the face OF things had entirely
changed; that the Turks had obtained some sue.

voy, carrying 10 600 men, as renforcements for the
army OF Asia, 10 leave Batoum on the 3D. il the
state of the weather permitedth this convoy had
nothing to fear from the Russian vessels which were
not in Jndtion to leave Sebastopol either to at

which was in very unsatisfactory condition.
The following article from the MontsW on the

the journals, that the failure of the last corn harvest
had taken the government by surprise, aud that II
had therefore, been unable to adopt the necessary
precautions. After recapitulstng the various mea.
