WAR MOVEMENTS IN ASIA.

Letters from Kars describe the thorough devastation
of the surrounding district by the Russians. The pro-
visiors Of the garrison could not last longer than the
18th of September and if reeoforcenents did not az
rive Gen. Williams would be compelled to submit.
The Russians. however, were themselves hard
presed by the snow, which had already set in, and
which, if the garrison could only hold out little
longer, would compel the besiegersto retreat.
Another J. tier from Kars says:
"Omer Pasba has arrived at Batoun, and was re-
celyed with great enthusiasm by the hslfsaryed gar
rison of that place. The strength of che corps arme
which il represented sixteen thousand men OF all
srus, does not exceed at present four thousand
