ASIA Observation-Disclosures from Trebi-
zonde is of the Goth December. The cold
In Asia Minor is excessive, and snow and
ice had rendered communication dangerous,
even with Erzeroum. The Ottoman army
at Erzeroum anxiously awaited the arrival
OF the reinforcements lately landed at Ire
blonde. The greater part of the Egyptian
division were encamped near Trebizonde,
where staff officers of the army in INERTIA
had arrived to prepare quarters for the troops
of Omer Pasha. Omer was still at Redut
kaleh, and his troops occupied positions "a
few miles distant from that town. Ferhad
Pasha, the Chief of his staff, had arrived at
Constantinople from Redut Kaleh. Tahir
Pasha had likewise been sent on a mission
from the army in Asia to Constantinople. e.
Gen. Williams and staff were still at Tihis;
it was not known whether they would re-
main there till exchanged, or be taken to
st. Petersburg.
