LATE FOREIGN ADvICEs.

LONDON, September 14.-At length
news has arrived of the assault on
Plevna, and it has been partially success
full. The Russians chose Tuesday for
the attack because it was fete day of
the Emperor. During the previous four
days they had poured into the works a
rain of iron which would suffice to buy
the whole place if it were sold at its real
value. From daybreak till 3
o'clock Tuesday they continued the
cannonade, and then began an as
sault. Fighting lasted till evening, and
it ended in the capture of three redoubts
on the southern front, which were taken
by Gen. Skobelef, and the great redoubt
of Gravitza, which fell into the hands of
Gen. Rediohaf. The position of Gravit-
"a was believed to be by far the strong
est point of defense, and almost, indeed,
the key of Plevna. Now that it has been
captured, there can be little doubt
that the town itself will soon
be untenable, if indeed it has not already
surrendered. The storming parties cap
tured five guns and two standards. but
with terrible loss on the part of the as
sallants, as the commander of the regi-
hiNhO Ntso hlllEb, anu Il NtHCIdI ana
5000 men were wounded. The number
of dead had not yet been reckoned at the
time of the dispatch of the telegram.
STRENGTH OF PLEvNA.
The experienced military correspond
ents of the Times and Daily Neaos, after
witnessing the attack Tuesday, arrived
at the same conclusion, that Plevna must
be taken by gradual approaches. The
former, writing from Russian headquar-
tiers under date of Wednesday morning,
appears to have been still unaware of any
decided Russian successes, for he saws
" The Emperor and Grand Duke Nicholas
were on the battlefield until nine last
night. The Emperor returned to head
quarters near Paredin last night. The
battlefield OF the last five days is
silent this morning. There is
talk OF submitting the Turkish
position to regular siege and sapping
up the redoubts while close blockade
is instituted with the intent to starve
Osman Pasha's forces. The villages en-
closed within Osman Pasha's line
are full of supplies for the
simple wants of the Turkish
soldiers, and the fields groan with heavy
crops OF maize. The losses this
morning are spoken of here as
about 5000 to 5000, but there
are no details. The Emperor this morn
ing has gone back to the battle field to
visit his soldiers. Unless this position of
affairs is shortly changed by decided Rus
sian success, the event of the campaign
will turn on the movements of Niche
met"
