NEWS FROM SHUMLA OF TILE 7111. " Head-quarters on board the Paris, Sept. 10. " Since August 29, nothing important has happened. The want of forage is felt more attd more every day. Our foraging parties are obliged to go 25 wersts to procure it. This difficulty compelled our troops to abandon the position they had occupied. The head-quarters of the second army are to be again transferred to Jenibazar. The baggage sod the hospitals have been already sent thither.— The movement will most probably be executed on the 10th and 12th."  The Russian army has not hitherto fulfilled the expectations which Europe had formed from its numbers, its discipline, its courage' and the experience, the talents, and valour of its Chiefs. All its efforts at present are directed against the secondrate fortress of Varna, which continued its resistance on the 13th of September, and if it should fall, will cost its assailants as many lives as it contains defenders. The reinforcemeuts received by ate Emperor Nicholas will hardly fill up the 'losses ihtlieted by the sieges of Brailow, Varna, and Silistria, by the unfortunate affairs before Shumla, by the frequent. irruptions from the troops encamped before Widdin and Giurgevo, which have freqsently endangered the line of operations of the Grand Army, and by the no less murderous disorders engendered by fatigue and the climate. The capture of Varna would have been highly important at the commencement of the campaign. It would have facilitated and secured the regular supply of provisions of all kinds, and supported, e Otrength of the fleet, the march of the Eusions  towards Adrianople—'-an audacious step, but one which, at that periodmightlead to great results. 'We are now approaching the time of the year when the navigation of the Black Sea is uncertain, perilous, and almost impossible. To advance to the very centre of Thrace, without being able to rely on the sure support of the fleefbehind, and to leave in their rear the Ottoman forces now united in the camp at Shumla, besides those at Widdin, and the garrisons of Rudschuk, Silistria, and Giurgevo, would be an act of temerity on the part of the Russians, and a grave fault which the Emperor Nicholas will not commit.  A winter campaign has been talked of, and the climate does not oppose any serious-obstacle to it ; but it could only take place in the valley of the -Danube, until the Turks should have been. driven beyond the Balkan. - , The Russians did not rightly understand the nature of the war which they were about to undertake. They imagined that they would only have to encounter the Turkish army, and relied on an easy triumph. But it is the Ottoman nation, it is Islamism itself, against which they have to contend. The united armies of Europe were broken in pieces against France in 1792, 1793, and 1794. The forces of Napoleon, rendered ten times greater by the influence of a genius which inspired terror and commanded admiration, though triumphant over Austria, Prussia, and Russia, failed when they came in contact with the Spanish people. Patriotism alone created the miracles of France and Spain ; what may not be produced in Turkey by patriotism, seconded and exalted by religious 'fanaticism ? Varna recals Saragossa. Still greater difficulties await the Russians at Adrianople, Constantinople, and intermediate positions.  (From the Quotidienne.)
