AMERICAN TBLBGRAMS
THE WAR IN TURKEY.
LOKDON, July %

LONDON, july ~.
The special correspondent of the HERALD at
Vienna tolegraphs that the rear guard of
Prince Nlkita's army, which was defeated a
few days ago by the Turks and was reported to
be in full retreat toward Montenegro, has had
an engagement with the pursuing Turkish army
aud defeated it.
They laid an ambush for the Turks, who
unsuspectingly fell into it, and after a sharp
encounter the Turks were completely routed,
and their commander, Osman Pacha, taken
prisoner.
This victory is considered most important at
this ~junoture. Osman Pacha was one of the
best of the Turkish generals, aud his defeat
and capture will be u sad blow to the Turks
and a corresponding advantage to the Monte
negrins and Servians.
The HERALD correspondent at Vienna also
telegraphs that the Sultan, Murad Efendi, has
resigned. Murad has been in bad health ever
since his accession to the throne, and has
utterly failed to satisfy thu uIemas and the
softas.
These fanatics have the enthusiastic and
blind support of the Young Turkey party, or
party of action, and demand a more vigorous
policy in the suppression of the insurrection
and r~epudiate all foreign Intervention in tho
affairs of Turkey.
Ahmed, the Younger brother of Murad, is
the idol of this party, and bears the reputation
of being q man Of great boldness and decision
of character. If report speaks truly Of him,
he is just the man for the present crisis IN
Turkey, an Osnanli leader of the old school.
who would personally assume the direction of
affairs, rule the country with an iron hand
and arouse the old Ottoman spirit.
AS reported 10 a special cable despatch to
the HERALD two days ago Ahmed has been ap-
pointed regent, and now, as a matter of courses
he will become Sultan and be invested with
the sword of Osman.
Murad Efendi seems to have been haun-
ted by the ghost of his uncle, the late Sui
tan, Abdul-Aziz, and has given himself up
completely to a life of seclusion and dissipation,
leaving his Ministers to their own shifts.
News Of great Importance may be looked for
from Oonstantinople at any moment.
