: This morning, al ten O'clock, Omar Pasha en-
tered the capital. He was seated in open car
rage, with M. Canlacuzene on his right. The
Metropolitan, The Ministers, and the Walachian
high funciionaries, who had gone out 10 meet him,
followed al the head Of brilliant staff. The re-
ception given 10 Omar Pasha by The population
was most enthusiastic. His carriage was literally
filled with flowers, and joyful accamations saluted
him the whole way. About ten thousand men,
Including the Walachian militia, who opened the
march, followed the Generalissimo.n
Omar Pasha was evidently fattered with the
reception he met with on The 22d at Bucharest,
but 1t is generally remarked that he is much
changed since he was in the Wallachan capital
in lSiS. Al that time he had the reputation OF
being talented commander, but, with the Rus
SLAMS on the one side, and the revolutionary party
on the other, he seemed 10 feel that he was in a
false position. Now, that he is at the head OF a
powerful and victorious army, he has ceased TO
be party man, and directs his attention and en-

The War In Asia.--TREBIzoNp, august TO-
BY the Turkish post which reached here this after
noon from Erzeroum, we hear of the occupation
of Bayazid by the Russians, on the 10th of July.
There are many stories current AT Erzeroum, but
all agree that the Turks under Seim Pasha, On
The advance of the Russians, left Bajazid without
hiring shot, and fled In great disorder over the
hills TO Kara klissia, and across the mountain
pass 10 Van, where Mahomed Redschid Pasha
had taken the command, and having reinforced
the army with 10000 Arabs was contemplating a
