land at Dunradin Castle. General Grant
has arranged to pay, next week, another
visit to Dundee. He is to b. represented with
the freedom of Burgess of Elgin and
Inverness. TIL Magistrates of Inverness
are expected to confer the honor when he is
returning from Suth~erlandshire. A deputa-
ton of the Elgin Town Council has been
invited to wait upon him at Dunradin Castle.
Redif Pasha and Abdul Kerim Pasha,
with the ex-commandants of Scutari, Sistova
and Shipka, and ten other officers, have
been banished to Lemnos until the termina-
ton of hostilities, the Commissioners ap-
pointed to try them being away at present
engaged in other duties connected with the
war.
A correspondent at Shipka Pass says the
Russians have made a fine road up the pass
for the passage of a large army into Rou-
mania. New bridges and other improve
ments in the road are still being made.
A Times leader urges, very strongly, that
England should offer mediation, with con-
currence of other neutral powers. Offers
of moderation could be based on recon.
~mendations made by the Constantinople
conference.
Edward F. Noyes, appointed United
States Minister to France, presented his
credentials, and Elihu B. W~ashburne his
letter of recall, to President MacMahon
Wednesday afternoon.
AParis special says: ON. Gambetta and
the publisher of the Republique F~rdncaise
have received summonses to appear next
Tuesday before the Tenth Chamber of Cor
rectional Police, on the charge of Hbeling
the President of the Republic, and of in
sulting Ministers in their public capacity"
The Russians have entirely dismantled
| the Notifications of Abraham, which is now
an open town. General Comorotf has
Withdrawn most of his troops from there to
the main body of the army, leaving only
nine rifle battalions in the place.
The Russian success at Lovatz makes
Osman Pasha have a hostile force on both
TANKS. Either defeat at Plevna or attempted
withdrawing may result in the destruction
of his army unless the Russians are COM
PEELED to weaken their forces on that side to
meet Mehemet Ali's advance from Rasgrad.
The latter seems to place the Czarowitch's
army in a position very similar to Osman
Pasha's.
The battle of Kiziltepe, which resulted
n the Russians being completely driven
from their position at Kedalar, cost the
Turks four hundred and thirty killed and
fourteen hundred wounded. Kiziltepe Hill
was attacked by two divisions, under Ali
Pasha and Mehmed Bey. They were both
wounded. The Russians were o~utnumbered
ten to one. The Turks have strongly in.
trenched the hill.
The Russian official bulletin, dated Gorney
Studen, September 6, says: On the 4th, the
Turks attempted In attack on LOvatz, from
Mikre, but were repulsed after four hours
skirmishing. An attack by a small Turkish
force on Tahrin, near Elena, was repulsed or
the same day. On the 9th, Turks attacked
the Russian corps near Rustchuk, on the
whole line, directing their chief attacks
against Kazelevo and Oblanowo. Theil
first attack was carried out by fifteen battal
ions of infantry and eighteen s~quadrons o
cavalry, with tw~enty-three annon Thii
force was further increased during the en-
gagement. Our column at Kazelevo
consisting of five battalions of %infantr,
ind eight s~quadrons of cavalry, will
some artillery, maintained its posi-
ton with great determination for si1
hours, but was finally compelled to fal
back on the Ostriza with great loss. Gu
column at Oblanowo was also assaulted b,
a large force, but repulsed all attacks, ant
maintained its positions. The Turks tool
the offensive on both wings of our Rust
chuck line of defense-namely, in the direc
ton of Kadikoi and Popskoi, but it is still
unknown whether this movement was
serious attack, or merely a demonstration
In the Balkans all is quiet. Suleiman Pashi
is organizing his army at Kazanlik. W,
lost one thousand killed and wounded a
the capture of Lovatz. The Turkish los
was great, and included one hundred pris
oners.
General Grant was enthusiastically re
ceived at Wick, Eng, on September 6. o.
being presented with the freedom of tn
city, the General said: During eight year
ofmy Presidency, twas my hope, which l an
glad to say was realized, that all difference
between the two nations should be healed il
a manner honorable to both. In my desir
for that result, it was my aim to do what wa
right irrespective of any other considers
ton whatever. During all negotiation
1 felt the importance of maintaining friendl,
relations between the great English speak
r ing people, which l belive to be essential t
the maintenance of eaceprinciples through
out the world"
The Manchester Examiner publishes tn
following dispatch announcing the captur
of Plevna by the Russians dated Sistova
/ Sunday night, September 9: This mornin
an attack on all sides of Plevna was CON
menced, and was continued throughout tn
day. By six o'clock in the evening the tow
| of Plevna was in the hands of the Russians
| and the Turks were in full retreat in grea
i. disorder. The losses are enormous, but d.
| tails not yet received.
| The funeral of NJ. Theirs took place O
September s, at Paris. The provinces wer
largely represented at the funeral. Moderat
speeches were made, and there was n
l political manifestation.
The rumors of Intervention have draw
l forth identical answers from the Cabinets {
London, Berlin, and Vienna that the tim
has not yet arrived. 1t is felt that a settl,
S ment to the Eastern question can only b
S arrived at by the decided superiority of on
or the ether of the contending parties, c
else by a thorough exhaustion of both, an
s the conviction brought home to both thu
t neither of them is able to solve the problel
e by sheer force. Any premature attemI
to interfere and thus prevent a decisio
s could only lead to hollow peace, and to
prospect of seeing the struggle renewe
after a comparatively short time, and Il
tremendous sacrifice of life and propert
already made would not have advanced IL
O solution one step.
