THE GREAT BATTLE AND IT'S EFFECT.
NEW YoRK, Sept. 6.-Tue Graphic's
special cable from London says the
great forward movement of the Russian
army has at length begun. Since the
battle of Plevna the Muscovites have
been content to simply maintain their
position until they hurled up reinforce
ments, and got every ything in readiness
for an advance movement along the
whole line. 1t is sale to say that the
battles OF this present week are big with
the fate OF Turkey and Europe. Thus
far, the attack seems to be principally
directed on the left wing Of the Turkish
army, commanded by Osman Pasha.
The object seems TO be to turn the
Turkish wing IN the direction OF the
Balkans, so as to throw Osman Pasha's
army back on the Danube, and SO ue-
stroy it. Some apprehension are felt
here as to the success Of the Russians.
II they should win n decisive victory,
| The road to Constantinople Is open to
them, as'they have succeeded in holding
| the Pass OF Shipka against the whole
power Of the Commauder-in-ch chief OF the
Turkish armies. A Russian victory
would create panics in all the capitals
| Of Europe, because it would BIZ followed
| by threats OF English Intervention
while Austria would necessarily become
alarmed at the possible fate OF the Dan
ubtan Principalities.
| English people had begun to believe
that the fighting was substantially over
Tor the year, and oonsols had been very
buoyant IN consequence. The battle
whion is now taking place is viewed
with great alarm, as ~ decisive victory
by the Russians would create a panic In
the stock market. The battle began
Monday morning, and is now raging
| with violence over hundred miles oi
country. The slaughter will be terri
