Latest dispatches from the seat of war report
a victory gained by Omer Pasha over the Rus
SLAMS at the River Ingour, in Asia Minor. We
nave as yet but bere announcement of the
fact. There are indications that Ayen Mura-
veitf is about to raise the blockade ofKars, and
retire into winter environments. In the Crimea.
both armies-Russian and Allied-are wholly
occupied IN hutting and preparing for winter.
A desultory fire is kept up between the north
ana south side OF Sebastopol, while the fortifca-
1ons on both sides are being augmented. The
bulk OF the fleets in the Black Sea are with
drawing toward Constantinople, and but few
ships remain in the Imam of the Dneiper. The
Emperor Alexander has returned from the
Crimea to ST. Petersburgh. Peace rumors are
again very prevalent, and great diplomatic
activity prevails, especially at Vienna, Berlin,
Stockholm, and Brussels. The French Exposi.
ton has been officially closed. Medals, inclu-
ding money prizes and stars of the legion of
honor, were distributed with lavish hand.
we give elsewhere a list of the Canadian
awards, but have not received a list of the sue
cessful competitors from the United States
Ldtest.-The following is Lord Stratford de
Redcliffe's official dispatch:
" Iherdped, NOU. l5.-At noon of the 9Th.
Omer Pasha forded the River Ingour at the
head of 10000 men, and defeated the Russians,
computed at 10000, including militia, and
partly entrenched. The enemy lost about 400
in killed and wounded, sixty prisoners, and
ol L.
800. The British officers did honor to their
country"
The Liverpool cotton market, which in the
beginning of the week was active, had become
quiet, and closed at last weeks quotations
BreadstuHs had been in fair business, at a
further slight improvement. Provisions are
slightly improved. The Manchester market
had been quieter, and strike" of the ope
ratives seems inevitable. The money market
had unexpectedly become stringent; the de-
mand for accommodation has increased, and
further advance in the rate of interest is APP
pretended. Consols closed on Friday dull. at
S75 a. SO.
Among the passengers by the Atlantic is
Col. Tai. i. Shaffner, who has resided some
considerable time past in Russia, and now
returns to make arrangements to carry out the
contracts he has made with the Russian Gov
/
for railroads, telegraphs and other public works,
on the most gigantic scale and on very favor
able terms. In addition to the enterprises
above named, the Colonel has become largely
interested in property belonging to the Arch
duchess Marie, sister of the Emperor, and to
others of the princes and princesses of the
house Of Romanofsky. The aggregate cost of
the works undertaken by COL Shaffner, repre-
senting the enormous amount of $4,000, 900,
affords splendid margin for the triumphs of
American skill and energy.
GREECE.
Considerable remark has been excited by the
new United States Minister to Greece paving a
formal visit to the Russian Minister who re-
turned the visit on board an American ship of
war. There is statement in the French pa
pers, that the United States make an offer to pay
up the Indebtedness Of Greece to England and
France, in consideration of receiving the Island
of Milo for 80 years.
Athens letters of Nov. announce the depar-
ture of the American squadron from Constan-
