Notes from Abroad.
The Paris Journal des Debats has the fol.
lowing latest news from the seat of war:
The Servians have captured Rachka. Gen.
eral Tchernayeff's tactics are compelling the
Turks to withdraw beyond Falanka. The
balance OF advantage, SO far, is slightly in
favor of the Servians. An official tele-
graphic dispatch received ut Belgrade an
nounces that, after ten hours desperate
fighting at Rachka, the Turks have fled to
Novilbalar, aud the Servians occupied the
territory between Rachka and NOvibalar.
The Servian loss was inconsiderable. The
army under General Zack crossed the
| frontier, near YavOr, on Thursday. They
| found the Turks intrenched in very favor
able positions, and were unable to dislodge
| them after five hours severe lighting.
The London Standards dispatch from
Belgrade, dated July 6. says that one hun
dred and thirty wounded Servians of the
| Army of the Drna arrived there. They re-
| port that during the fighting at Belina the
garrison of the Turkish guardhouse and the
Inhabitants defended themselves to the ut.
most against the Servians. In the streets OF
the town terrible massacre ensued, in
which almost all the inhabitants perished.
The citizens Of Belgrade have been ordered
to give information to the authorities relative
to the quantity of provisions in their houses,
as bombardment by the Turkish gunboats
| is feared. An American general and three
| Prussian officers have entered the Servian
army. Five thousand militia men have left
Belgrade for Alexinatz. Another dispatch,
dated Belgrade, July z, evening, says that
contradicted the first kilograms announcing
| q victory.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, reviewing the Eastern situation, says
that it is the opinion of competent men that
nothing decisive has yet occurred. All that
is now transpiring must be considered as q
mere series Of attempts by the Servians to
| join the MOntenegrns, and such junction,
| h. afa tah will ha ha haui uiuu nf
the war. A Ragusa special to the Times says
that the Montenegrin operations were de-
layed in order to give the insurgents time to
reOrganize. This being completed, the Mon
tegrins will resume their pursuit of the
Turkish. armyi in Herzegovina......Ad dispatch
from COnstantinople to the London Daily
Telegraph, dated July 10, says great battle
was fought that day near Prot. The result
is not yet known.
The Turks have retreated from the right
bank of the river Drina, to Walden, and
the Servian army occupies several villages
in that region. The population of the dis
| trlct have risen and joined the Servians. The
Servians under General Benifau fought q
superior force of Turks on the 9TH inst, at
| Kruschesa. The Turkish loss was cOnsidera-
bic. The Servians, with slight loss, cap
tured some flags, quantity Of arms, and Oc-
cupied several villages.
The revolution at Cuzzo, Peru, has been
suppressed, with a loss of thirty .lives.......A
Vienna dispatch OF July ~, says: Both sides
are taking advantage of the present pause in
active operations to bring up renfOrcements.
The Servians are organizing guerrilla bands,
one OF which, numbering three thousand,
has advanced to within two hours march OF
Middin. Belgrade advices announce that
the main body of the Montenegrins is adj
vancing on Mostar. Leschjanin, who de-
fends the frontier at Laitschar, has received
a reinforcement of seven thousand men.
General Olympics has formed six thousand
Bosnians into regiments, and General Tcher.
nayetf is engaged in organizing Bulgarian
bands near Ak Palauka...."... From Ragusa,
July Is, we learn that Turkish expedition
against Kuchi has been repulsed. After
fighting all day they were driven to Podgo-
rita. The Servians are bombardng Nisch
and Bjelina. The frontier is entirely clear
of Turks. A portion of the Se-vian Timok
army having established itself between
Niseh and Widdin, General Tchernayefl,
who is still operating at the south OF Nisch,
is thus covered from attack. Nothing has
been said concerning General Tchernayetf,
except that having secured line of retreat
he had marched toward the Balkans.
The London Times's Semln dispatch gives
the following account of recent fight:
Osman Pacha, in great force, attacked the
Servian army corps under Gen. Leschja amin,
near Taetchar. The Turks five times at.
tempted to storm the Servian position, and
| were repulsed. In the meanwhile the Ser.
Wan column, under Gen. Ostoics, attacked
Osman Pacha's rear, and captured several
villages The Turkish gunboats on the
Danube attacked Gen. Ostoics, but without
any result.....Gen. Leschjanin, who accord
ing to latest intelligence, had penetrated
some distance into the Pachalik of Widdin,
on July II attacked the Turkish positions,
and captured several strategissl points.
The fighting lasted the whole day. The Ser.
Wan loss was small. The Servians pursued
the Turks to Widdin, and captured a guam
tity of provisions. The gates of Widdin
are now closed.
