AsIA.-Defeat Of The IIrkS.-From Odes-
sa, August 18th, it is stated that band of
Caucasian mountaineers, commanded by 4
son of Schamyl, made razzia into the prov-
ince of Titflis They sacked several places,
put some persons to death, and carried off n
Russian Generals wife, and her sister, the
Princess Or0elian. The news had caused d
panic at Tiffiis.
There is reason to believe that the Turk
ish army in Asia has met with decisive de-
feat. A Vienna despatch states-but with
out date that General Bebutoff had attack
ed and signally routed the main body of the
Turks under the walls of Kars. The Rus
slams say they killed 5000 Turks, took 1000
prisoners, including SO 3staff and other officers,
and captured 15 guns, with an immense
amount of military stores. The shattered
remains of the Turkish force had dispersed.
This is, however, from Russian source.
