RUSSIA'S WAR WITH TURKEY.

Russian scouts on the 10Th were in
! sight of Adrianople and expected every min
ute to enter the town. The garrison with their
arms and baggage were retiring towards Con-
stantinople. The old Serial is burning. The
Musselmen have fled. The Greek patriarch
and rabbi MAINTAIN order. The once formula
BILE Sulieman Pasha and his force are report
ed lost, SO precipitate has been the flight be-
fore the conquering Russians. It is snow be-
lieyed that the occupation of Adrianople will
be the last act in the great drama Of blood,
or it will not be necessary for the legion of
the cross to advance any further to secure the
equivalent of an unconditional surrender.
The Russians entered Adrianople on
the Goth inst There are no further advances
made towards armistice negotiations. Ref
uges from Adrianople are perishing from cold
and hunger. The cold is intense. It seems
to be the general opinion that the Porte must
purchase peace at any price. Servians, upon
re-occupying Kurschumlji, found twenty-four
Seryian soldiers and two officers impaled.
The Roumanians occupy Flokenten, thus COM
pleting the investment of Widdin. The Ser
Wan troops have captured Preshina; also re-
captured Kershumlji after an engagement in
which the Turks lost 400 killed and wounded
and $50 Turks captured. Turkish peace plen-
ipotentiaries telegraphed the Porte announc-
ing their arrival at Kgzanlik Sunday night.
The Porte having addressed note to Eng
land complaining of the warlike attitude of
Greece, the British government has transmit
ted it, without comment,to the English charge
d'afalres at Athens. The Danube is now
completely frozen over, and transport wagons
are now crossing on the ice. All the old SOL
diers in Russian Poland have been called in.
This new levy consists of men over 40 years of
age. 5000 sick and wounded from Suleiman
Pashas army have arrived at Drame. Sulei-
man Pasha has with him at Drame lO8 battal
lions and 115 guns. The Russians are between
Uhien Kophri and Keshan, ten hours march
from Gallipolis. Orders have been received
from Stamboul to resist any advance. Troops
are expected from Smyrna and the Darda-
nelles.
The whole district of Bourgas has been
devastated by the Bashi Bazouks and Circas-
slams. They slaughtered the inhabitants and
burned the villages. Gen. Gourko fought
Sulieman Pasha from the 18th to the 18TH
The Turks were finally driven into the
I
Rhadope mountains. An army under Niche
met Ali and Achmed Eyoub Pasha is concen
trated at Kark Kllissa, thirty-two miles east
northeast of Adrianople. The Porte claims to
have information thatthe Russians will reach
Gallipolis by January 26, at the latest The
Russians have appointed Greek Archbishop,
Governor of Adrianople
Russia has invited Austria to take i'm
mediate possession Of Bosnia and Herzegovi-
mia. Count Andrassy hesitates. He &C.
knowledges that Russia's conditions suffi
GENTLY respect Austria's interests, but he
has discovered among them what he fears will
be a causus zlifor England. He has opened
negotiations with a view of modifying Rus
sian demands. The Italian squadron has
been ordered to the Tevant. The garrison
of Gillipoiis has been considerably reinforced.
