LETTERS from Russian officers in
Turkey express the strongest desire
for peace, and paint in very dark
co.ors the condition Of the Russ ian
army in Bulgaria. Even the corn- =
panies which have suffered the least
from the war are reduced from 200
to 20 men. The want of officers is
very great, while the transport
corps, the artillery and the cavalry
lost most of their horses, and 6ud it
impossible to replace them.

Mr.. HUNT, the alleged represen-
tative OF Russian privateering inter.
ests IN this country, is unquestion
ably the frankest and freest mortal
that was ever despatched on a
diplomatic mission. Not content
with unbosoming himself to the
New York press, he is now RECALLING
the Philadelphia newspapers with
his warlike plans and startling con-
ideuces. Ignatieff in the grip of a
Hearld commissioner is dumbness
itself compared with "Secret Agent"
Hunt. The strange volubility Of
this gentleman and some OF his
friends, lends color TO the notion
that tne sensational preparations
here are merely intended to brighten
British shipping interests. II 30,
they have failed. The British au-
thorities in this city make light Of
The Russian display, while the agents
OF steamships and sailing lines alike
report an increased business. The
only preceptible effect OF the priva.
leeilng cry, thus far, has been to
he'p the insurance men at LOWS
to few extra shillings in the way
OF insurance.--Sttn
