THE WAR IN ASIA. 1
THE WAR IN ASIA. The interest which has long centred in be town of I Kars, deepens with every fresh account of its efforts to. hold out against the investing army. Letters have been received from be beleaguered town, confirming the pre- vious despatches. They add that the Russian cavalry patrol the whole country, and watch with the greatest attention all the roads by which Kars is approached. The miserable condition of the horses, both of the cavalry and artillery, was such that the Muchir determined to send them from Kars. More than tfiree thousand, with a thousand riders, left the city on their road to Olti. The Russians received intelligence of this, and fell upon the troop fiear Chiakmak, between two and three leagues from Kars, on the night of the 5th of September, They put the Turks to flight, 200 of the latter being left on the field of battle. The remnant fled in various directions. A few hundred men and horses arrived in Olti. Of the maillder olno accounts have been receiyed. It is satisfactory that in Kars the sanitary condition of the people remains good. There are not 300 invalides in the hospital. Cholera, which lias been prevalent in :he province, is on the point of vanishing at Kars, In the military hospitals about two deaths per diem happen from this cause, and in the city from three to five. An adjutant from the Seraskier arrived at Erzeroum on the 10th of September from Constantinople, with orders to pay the Bashi-Bazouks at the rate of sixty piastres per month per man. The difficulty will be to find them, as many of them have deserted, and they have been decimated by cholera. There is no doubt that the arrival of Omer Pacha with his army will give the Rus- sians some uneasiness; but it is a question whether he will be able to save Kars. The Russians have retreated from Melasghirt and Bulanmek to Uch Klisia and Deli Baba. One battalion took shelter in Erivan. Some squadrons of Cossacks had been seen on the road to Hinis, situated about twenty hours' distance from here. Their intention must have "St been to intercept convoys. Cholera still rages amongst the troops at Olti and Hassan Kaleh. The Invalids Russe of the 2nd instant publishes the following account of the battleon the 11th ot Septpmbei -AIde-de-Camp General Mauravieff, Commander in- Chief of the corps of the Caucasus, under the date of the 4th (16th) of September, fVomthe camp at Tchavtlik- Tchai, that the fete day of his Majesty the Emperor signalized by a successful cavalry engagement, in which our Cossacks, Militia, and Dragoons, commanded by Lieutenant-general Kovalevsky, completely defeated a detachment of regular cavalry, 1,800 men, and about 1,000 Bashi-Bazouks, and some hundred dismounted horsemen, with four mountain guns. Ali Pacha, who |, commanded the detatchment, a brave old general, who took part in most of the last wars of Turkey, was made a prisoner; moreover, we took one officer, forty-five men, a flag, two small standards, four mountain guns, sixty- eight caissons of amunitton, and fifty-five caissons of cartridges; and the whole camp with all it contained, remained in our hands. The Turks had about 400 men killed. „ The details of the combat are given as follow-Gen. Mouravieff having learnt that large stores of provisions were being collected at Oiti and at Peniaki, and that Turkish troops, coming from Erzeroum, with a view to enter Kars by the An] ah an road, were at Feniaki and Panjrout, sent in the night between the 28th and 29th of I August (9th and 10th of September) a detachment of infantry and cavalry, with 20 light field guns, and eight rocket batteries, under Lieutenant-General Kovaievsky, who had orders to beat the enemy assembled near Peniaki, and to open the roads which lead from tlience to Kars by Panjrout and the Sandjak of Ghel. After a forced march of 70 versts our cavalry came up with the enemy's detachment (commanded by three pachas) near the village of Peniaki. The Turks had occupied the inclines of the neighbouring hills with dismounted horse- men; the Bashi-Bazouks were placed on some rising ground in front of the village, and the cavalry and artil- lery behind them, On the 30th of August (11th September), at about six p.m., an obstinate combat commenced, in which our troops, despite the grape and heavy fire of musketry, drove the enemy out of the village, and cuptured one gun I struck with terror, the Turks then took flight, despite all the efforts of Ali Pilcha to renew the combat. He himself, surrounded by our Cossacks, fought like a hero, but he was wounded, and made prisoner by the Yestiaoul Serdukoff. All resistance being overcome, the Cossacks went in pursuit of the fugitives by the Olti and I\atyk roads, and not stopping to make prisoners, satis- tied themselves with preventing any chance of the Turks re-assembling. This pursuit was continued aiong the roads for 15 versts. The enemy lost all their guns, the 1 last of which was captured at nine versts from the < Turkish camp. Our loss consists in two Cossacks J wounded, and six militiamen wounded. < The Journal de Constantinople announces that the gar- 1 rison of Kars is suffering severely. Some letters from ( Asia even express a fear that a surrender of the place will hecome inevitable. Letters from Galatz speak of the arrival of French troops in Moldavia- Part 9f the corps d'qrmee of Omer Pacha, which is already at Batoum, has received orders to advance and attempt all that may be possible to raise the blockade of Kars, GREAT VICTORY OF THE TURKS AT K4.RS.— FOUR THOUSAND RUSSIANS KILLED. 4 We have been favoured with the following communi- cation from his Excellency the Turkish Minister :— CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 13.—An official report of the ] Commander-General of Kars, dated Sept. 29, makes known to us the following facts — "The Russians have this day attached Kars. The action lasted eight hours, and in the course of the con- test, whieh was of the most desperate character, the enemy with all his force several times entered some of our batteries, but was each time driven back with con- siderable loss. After displaying great efforts, the Russians were compelled to give way before the courage of our brave soldiers, and to retire completely routed. In addi- tion to the dead and wounded carried away during the action, the Russians have left in the trenches and the environs of the fortress 4,000 dead, 100 prisoners, and a gun. Our losses consist of 700 to 800 men; amongst them we have to deplore the death of many superior officers. The Russians are preparing to retreat anc} to abandon i* siege." DESPATCH FROM LORD STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE. PKIGX-OPFICE, OCT. 13.—A telegraphic despatch bae been received at the Foreign-office from Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, dated Therapia, Oct. 12, stating that the Russians attached Kars on the 29th of Sep- tember, and were repulsed after a conflict of seven hours, tember, and were repulsed after a conflict of seven hours, with a loss of 2,5QQ killed and twice that number pounded.

YIENNA, OCT. 14,—General d'Allonville now occupies gmtions commanding the road to Perekop. Marechal elissier was to commence on the 10th. VIENNA, OCT. 13.—A despatch says that Marechal Pelissier has already engaged the rear-guard of the enemy, hut this is doubtful. J MOVEMENT OF BRITISH TROQPS. The subjoined note has been forwarded to us by Lord ( fanmure ] W44 DEPARTMENT, OCT. 14.—Intelligence has been 3 received by Lord Panmure that Sir Colin Campbell has been sent to Elvatoria with a considerable force of in- fantry and artillery. HAJ^VHO, SUNDAY EVENING.—On the 13th Prince 1 Cfortschakoff says —" The enemy has quitted his posi- j tion in the valley1 of the Upper Belbek, and is retreating j to the crest of the hills between the valleys of Belbek ( and Baidar-probabiy in consequence of our movement an Harvi and Albat." VIENNA, OCT. 12.—Intelligence has been received i to-day that the Emperor Alexander has arrived at Pere- kop. He was accompanied by the Grand Prince Nicholas I and the Duke of Mecklenburg. Shortly after his arrival he received General von Kotsebue, who had been sent to 1 the Imperial tent by Prince Gortschakoff. A council of war was to be held there forthwith. ALARFCEILIIES, OCT. 14.—Accounts froni Constantinople, of the 4th, state that the Alned army was advancing in the yalley of Baidar. The feather had again become line. The cannonade between the northern forts and the town increased. The Allies were hastening the can- struction of new batteries, and were preparing to employ floating batteries. The corps of operation at Eupatoria was master of three defiles in the neighbourhood of that place. The Constantinople journals say that four divisions were expected from France. I WARSAW, OCT. 14th.—Despatches from Prince Gorts- ch&kotf to Prince Paskiewitoh mention an organized concentrated advance of the Allies from Eupatoria, B.udar, Kertch, and Kindburn, with the intent of sur- rounding and cutting off the Russian forces. ST. PETEI^BURQ, 15th.—Despatches received state that the allied fleet had sailed yesterday for Odessa, and anchored three miles from Kindburn, Kindburn is situated at the extreme western point of the coast which borders the estuary of the Dnieper, on the south. AsjA.—The Paris Moniteur of Monday contains the following:— CONSTANTINOPLE, OcT. 13th—On September 29th, the Russians attempted a general attack on Kars. The com- bat lasted seven hours with extreme desperation. The enemy at length was repulsed, and his retreat became a perfect route, On the 30th they had already buried 4,000 dead, and the field of battle was strewed with dead bodies. The loss of the Turks is only about 1,000 men. Crimea letters to the 2nd of October, inclusive, are published in the London papers. The Times says the camp is amused by rumours of active service, ViENNA, MONDAY EVENING.-The Journal Austrian correspondence contains the following from Odessa, dated 10th :—Eighty ships are in sight of the harbour. Either a descent on the place or a bombardment is expected. The Emperor will not visit Odessa at present. ODESSA, llth-A report is in circulation which, under existing circumstances, does not appear improbable. It is rumoured that the Russians intend to abandon the north side of Sebastopol and return to Perekop. The fleet is still at Odessa. Gortschakoff's last despatch of 13th. shews that the fleet had sailed from Odessa and anchored at Kinburn. Sebastopol letters of the 2nd says that the English have found in Karabelnaia 2222 guns, 290,000 bombs and round shot. Engineers state the value at £ 40,000, chains and anchors estimated at £ 12,000, 3,000 tons of coal, more than 3,000,000 of rations and arms and ^clothing of yarions kindr.. j
THE ENGLISH ATTACK ON THE…
THE ENGLISH ATTACK ON THE REDAN. Further discussion, in elucidation of theevents of the 8th of September, confirms the opinion alluded to in our last, that the attack upon the Redan was intended simply j as a diversion to give the French time to establish themselves in the Malakhoff. A letter addressed from Paris by Mr. James Avtoun to the Edinburgh Courant, gives a highly interesting account of the whole affair, from information gleaned by him in the French capital. The following is the subject of his narrative :— "On the 8th of September the approaches to the Malakhoff were quite sufficiently close to warrant the assault. The French were at less than 25 yards from the fortification, nearly every gun was silenced, the walls around the fort !iad been nearly levelled by the play of the artillery, and the French had nothing to do but to walk into the fortification, fighting their way, of course, but without the necessity of an escalade. But the Great Redan was not in any way prepared for an assault. The English trenches were at more than 200 yards distance from the walls. The batteries of the fort, both in front and in flank, were in full activity; and the taking and retention of the Redan under these circumstances was physically impossible, supposing the Russians comported themselves with their usual obstinacy and courage. Such was the state of things on the 8th of Sep- tember. The Allied Generals thought that the propitious moment was arrived for taking Sebastopol. General Pelissier said to General Simpson, 11 can easily, from the position I occupy, take the Malakhoff; but the diffi- culty is to hold it, before I can bring my reserves and artil- lery into action, and prepare it for defence. If I surprise the Russians, which I hope to do, and take the fort by a coup de main, they will return in such force that the small number of men who mount to the assault will be overwhelmed and driven back as on the 18th of June. I do not expect that the Redan can be taken by you. You are not in a condition to do so but it is absolutely necessary that a diversion should be made in our favour after our first success, to give us time to breathe, and to bring up our artillery and reserves. All I ask for this is one hour, and I will undertake to keep possession of the Malakhoff. Make your assault, and give us. if pos- sible, that length of respite. Throw away as few men as possible, hut engage the Russians for at least an hour, and Sebastopol is ours," Such is the conversation sup- posed to have taken place betwixt Pelissier and Simpson and I am informed upon good authority that private letters from French officers in the Crimea fully confirm that the purport of what I have stated was really said by Gen. Pelissier. II Such was the plan adopted. It was exactly in accordance with the tactics of the great Napoleon, who wis in the habit of sacrificing a certain number of men in order to secure the object in view. Napoleon was in the habit of saying to a Colonel of a regiment, without mincing the matter, Allez vous fairc tw\\ vo.us et voire regiment,' when he sent a devoted corps to the attack of a redotiht or a position which there was not the slightest chance of taking, and that in order to facilitate the suc- cess of another part of the army. And the corps of General de Salles, who attacked the Central Rastion, and was repulsed, was placed in the same position as the English, except that the work it had to do was not quite so desperate, This is the real state of the case fully admitted at Paris, but which, of course, could not be openly declared in the despatches, although it is hinted I at sufficiently clear to military men in tne report of General Niel, The devoted band which attacked the Redan, as well as the French under de Salles, were in a t manner sacrificed to the success of the great object in view, the retention of the Malakhoff. They were the forlorn hope—r-fes enfunts perdtw-of the Allied armies." This version of the affair undoubtedly gives it a very different aspect from that which it wore at the beginning. The British General was called upon, for strategio reasons, the soundness of which the event lias proved, to sacrifice 3, certain number of his troops on a desperate assault, the a. certain number of his troops on a desperate assault, the i only possible success of which, the occupation of the enemy's troops in repelling it, so as to secure the pos" session of the kev of the whole fortress to the French, was fully attained. That on such an errand General Simpson sent neither his best troopa, nor a suceesion of reinforcements, will hardly be imputed to him as a cause j, of censure. And although the Malakhoff was won by French soldiers, it is nevertheless true that its permanent 1 )ccupation by them, and with it the capture of Sebas- topol, was purchased at the price of English no les4 than )f French blood. THE RESULTS OF THE CAMPAIGN. The Edinburg Review, in an able essay, entitled "The Results of the Campaign," takes a brief retrospec- tive survey of the progress of the campaign, and of the :ost both to the Allies and to Russia, at which its most brilliant sucoess, the fall of Sebastopol, has been achieved, He then proceeds to examine the bearings of the state sf affairs consequent upon this event, more especially with reference to the prospect of peace. After observing that of the four principles laid dowri at the Vienna Con- fertnee, as indispensable conditipns of peace, some are partially and some effectually attained, the writer adverts to the point on which the Conference was broken off:— The events of the 8th and 9th September may be said to terminate for a lengthened period the preponderance of the Russian maritime power in the Black Sea; but they also give us the right to require, in a more peremp- tory form, conditions calculated to ensure and preserve the permanent and complete independence of those waters. The Crimea being once in the possession of the Allies, becomes a material guarantee for these conditions. Enormous expenses and sacrifices have been incurred to cqnquer it: but having destroyed the Russian fleet and driven out her armies, the principal positions in the Peninsula can be held with very little cost or danger by the maritime Stated, Sebastopol would be secure in the hands of a Frenoh garrison of a few thousand men and a squadron to watch the bay of Odessa; whilst a detach- ment of our own troops might hold Kerch and Yenikale and command the navigation of the Sea of Azoff until the termination of the war. The whole of this service might be efficiently performed by steam frigates and cor- vettes of the fleet, the enemy having lost his whole mari- time force. By these means, if the war be prolonged, the Allied Powers may at a very small expense extinguish the trade and political iufluence of Southern Russia, and ultimately restore to her the liberty of navigating the Black Sea on their own conditions," Still the reviewer does not entertain w sjynguine ex- pectation of immediate peace, and laciks rather to a lightening than to a cessation of the burdens ot the war, as the result of the auspicious event which has just put an end to the power of Russia in the Euxine- 44 We do not ipfer, even frqm the success of our late operations, that we are approaching the termination of this contest, or that the resouroes of Russia are already so exhausted as to compel her to sue for peace on terms which would satisfy the Allied Powers. But we con- ceive that the war may henceforward be carried on in s, manner extremely onerous and injurious to the enemy without requiring any corresponding sacrifices from us. We are exposed to no danger of any offensive movement jn the part of Russia. We are in possession of an indis- puted influence in the Black Set and throughout the East, except on the confines of Georgia, to which the strength of the Turkish army may next year be directed. We can cut off the Russian Empire from the greater part of its commercial and political relations with the rest of the world, and we can pursue in the East that I policy which is most consistent with the enlightened pro- gress of the population of the Turkish Empire. Thp Russians fall back on the assurance that their vast terri- tory offers an impregnable barrier against invasion and no one is prepared to repeat the experiment of an attack which would only drive back the enemy across inter- minable plains from one devastated town to another. Jfothing is to be gained by such modes of assailing Rus- ;;a. nor have we any reason to seek to penetrate within her dominions. It is her external policy and influence to which the Western alliance is opposed, and that is already at our mercy." The principal difficulty which the writer sees looming in the distance, and with which he does not attempt to grapple, is that presented by the internal condition ot the Turkish Empire, and the necessary adjustment of .t, the relations between the Porte and her Christian subjects. With regard to the internal conditio" of Russia, he thinks it far from improbable that it may be seriously affected by recent events:— Amongst the most considerable results of the cam- paign (although on this point our informarion is neces- sarily limited) must be reckoned the consequences of this unexpected defeat upqn the public opinion of the Rus sians themselves, and upon the internal stability of the Imperial Government. At the outset of the war the pro- 3larnation.s of the Emperor Nicholas, the fantastical ex- citement of the people, and the language of all the Rus- sian organs, indicated the most absolute confidence in the superiority of the forces they could bring into ti<<i field- We have 110 doubt this confidence, though mis- taken, was sincere, and that the Court of St. Petersburg saw with unbounded astonishment its soldiers beaten in every encounter with the Allies; its stronghold destroyed; and a great portion of its army dissqlved. The Emperor Nicholas died pf grief at the spectacle, though lie saw not the end. Russia believed that she was absolute mis I tress of the East, by the strength of despotism military power; but the lesson she has received annihilates the faith of the Imperial Government in its ambitious destiny and the faith of the nation in the success and strength of the Government. For half a century everything has been sacrificed to prepare fqr this great contest, of which Con- stantinople is the prize; and what is the result? The Russian Government ha? not given to the nation that physical domination which flattered its fanaticism and its ambition. These enormous sacrifices have been made in vain. A new reign, destitute of the influence ot esta- blished personal authority, begins under these gloomy auspices; and it is not impossible that the essential prin- ciple of the Russian Government has received a blow which may lead to extraordinary and unforseen pertur- bations in the Empire. Summing up the whole matter, as regards the relative position of the belligerent Powers, the writer comes to the conclusion that— The results of this campaign have brought nsto a point which the most sanguine members or adherents of the Allied Governments had scarcely anticipated for the pre- sent summer; and if a wise and conciliatory spirit were manifested at St. Peterburg, it is not impossible that ne- gotiations for peace might be renewed in the course of the approaching winter with some prospect of success. Chances of such a war admit of no favourable prospects to Russia, Her utmost success consists in no more than this, that she may not be immediately defeated, and that she may continue to hide her shigj and armies, with some success, behind stone walls and earthworks. Her course, from the date of the Menschikoft' mission to the close of the Vienna Conference. has been a series "f blunders, arising from a miscalculation of real streugth, and an absurd attempt to maintain an impracticable po- sition. Every concession has been made too late:; every attempt to restore peace has been marred by her prepos- terous reservations; and her boasted diplomacy has only served to distil to the very dregs the cup of humiliation and defeat, If we were animated by sentiments of deep and permanent hostility to the Kwssiau nation, which we do not profess to feel, we could discover no means of re- ducing her power, and throwing back her imperfect civilisation, more effectual than the suicidal continuance of a war she alone provoked. We cannot part with a paper so important in all its bearings, without noticing a. significant suggestion in re ference to the events of the war, as far as they have pro- ceeded, upon our home politics;- We speak without the slightest knowledge of the in- tenfions which may prevail in the higher regions of the State, and we express no more than our own independent judgment and convictions. But we think it evident that there never was a time at which it more strongly became the duty and the interests of the Ministers of the Crown to appeal to the nation, and to rest their future continu- ance in office upon a vote of confidence, irot of Lord Derby's House of Commons, but of the people. Enough has been done in the last few months to strip off many disguises, to remove much obscurity^ to lower some great reputations, and to fix the confidence of the country on these statesmen who have not wavered in their course. If that confidence be sincere, let us know it. It it be the will of the people of England to prosecute this war to a glorious termination, by an honourable peace, let them repudiate the captious apd the time who from different motives, have lent a practical support to the enemies of their country. Above all, Jet the experiment be tried of a Parliament elected under a strong unani- mous sense of patriotism and of duty, to promote those objects which can only be attained by A degree of for- bearance and discipline which the present House of Commons has not displayed. Come when it may—and it is impossible the trial can be long delayed—it rests with the constituencies of the United Kingdom to pronounce the verdict, and to choose, for their representatives men who faithfully reflect the prevailing convictions of the nation. In the changes of modern political society, the Members of the iiouse of Commons are taught to look less to their ostensible leader on the front benches, and inoreto the directing spirit of the country. The divisions, the intrigues, the tricks of faction, and the cabals of per- sonal ambition, lose their value and their force out of doors; and to the great detriment of the House of Com mons—we may even add, to the great danger of the Con- stitntioll-a suspicion floats over the country, that a public opinion exists among us, more enlightened, more firm, more tenacious, that that which can be traced in the discussions of th;'{ assembly. Nothing can be more fatal to the existing institutions, and even to the liberties of this country, than such an opinion; and it is a matter of vital interest to the nation that the House of Commons should lose nothing of its dignity and authority in sup- porting the measures required for the defence of the government of the Empire. But if the authority of Par- liament has sometimes allowed itself to be usurped by the Press, and if the judgment of the public has seen much to repudiate and condemn in the conduct of our representatives, the House of Commons is aloqe to blame for a course of action which threatens to impair its great influence. Within its walls, it is customary for its mem- bers to pay a frequent homage to the good taste, the wis* dom, and the patriotism of its proceedings. But beyond those walls that assembly is judged with the same free- dom which attends every act of onr public men and the country, conscious of the indispensable conditions of military power, perfectly understands the mischievous consequences at such a crisis of the encroachments of the Legislature on the Executive Power. We trust that the next Parliament will raise the character of the House of Commons; but we should deeply regret to witness, for the sake of that House and of the Government, the recur- rence of such a session as the last—tending as we believe it did to lower the character of our institutions and of our statesmen in the eyes of Europe and materially to aggravate the difficulty of bringing the present war to a successful termination. THE NEW COALITION. A COALITION, it was some time since currently re- ported, had been formed between the Conservative and the Peace party. Mr. Gladstone and his friends repre- sent the latter party, and they have been long charged with being advocates of peace at any price. A portion of the Conservatives seem to think that we have now, after the late successes, accomplished the humiliation of Russia, and destroyed her, preponderance in the Black Sea; that thus the objects for which the war was undertaken have been won & that we are bound agree- ably with our first declarations, to discontinue the contest. Still, Russia does not confess herself vanquished, and till this is done, we cannot expect she will be disposed to accede to more satisfactory conditions than at tbw last conference and again, whatever may have been the original purppse of the Allies, yet the disposition and the subsequent acts of the enemy may compel changes and render heavier conditions necessary for the securing of peace. However, these two parties on dif- ferent grounds recommend negociations for peace; and probably from their agreement in this one object, the conjecture of a coalition has been formed. We have not much confidence in the lasting cohesion of bodies that touch only at one point. Coalitions of this kind never fail to issue in disruption, and the vio- lence excited does more harm, than the transient com- bination did good. It is therefore gratifying to find that such an arrangement is disowned by those who are said to have made it; and that it is not considered patriotic, even by those that are not attached to the present administration, to congregate forces, no matter how heterogenous and mutually repugnant, merely tor embarrass and, if possible, pull down political antagonists. This is all noble and honourable and we trust the time is approaching when parties, as such, will die down, and every man that has power will have but one business in view-tbe promotion of his country's well-being. On what will accomplish this, we sball of course differ, and our projects will ever he more or less affected by our prejudices and our interests; yet our discussions will be much simplified, and the keeping our country's good ever uppermost in thought and in talk will help to purify men's minds from narrowness and selfishness. In this we shall always feel brothers, and shall grow into closer union.—Eteetric News, CURIOSITY is ever impatient; and we cannotlallay our- anxiety to know the movements and even the plans of the Allies in the Crimea. As to our ignorance of their purposes, there is some satisfaction in this—those pur- poses may be too good and important to be divulged, and we may await the issue in action, confident of the bravery of our troops. Of the movements of the forces we re- ceive information. Our fleet and army are not idle.. The former has visited Odessa, and the latest report is that Admiral Bruat on the 8th inst., sent in 1 message to the Governor, demanding the surrender of Jihe public property of every k:n4 witnin twenty-four hours. Of the arniv we learn that Sir Golin Campbell has been des- patched to Eupatoria with a large force of infantry and' arti lery. The Russians give every indication of being determined to hold the Northern side of Sebastopol; but these operations behind them, interrupting their commu- municatian with the mainland and with the resources will, be more effective in suggesting a prudent retreat than' the most vigorous assaults on thpir position. The Em- peror has reached Perekop, and a council of war was to be held forthwith. All this intelligence bids us expect im- portant and decisive action. There is every probability of an advance being made from several points at once by' the Allies to surround the Russians. Prom Asia the news has been alarming. The Porte. seemed to be indifferent and to neglect the brave men that were maintaining the struggle there and the Allies in the Crimea have quite enough on their hands. No- thing was to he expected but that Kars must yield to the enemy. From these fears we are now Lappily relieved. The Turks can fight; and they had British skill and spirit to head them in the person of General Wiiliama; and the successful defence of Karav/ill stand out amongst the most brilliant exploits of this great war. The assault lasted eight hours, and the conflict was fierce and obsti- nate. The Russians gained ,entrance into the batteries several times, but were ever repulsed with fearful IORI., At length they gave np and, and retired unsuccessful. The loss on the side of the Turks was about 1,000 men amoiyj them swiny officers. Of the enemy 100 were taken prisoners, one guq was captured, and, besides the dead and wounded carried off, 4,000 dead were left be- hind in the trenches. It was a sanguinary affair., Its effects however on the state and issues of the war are of the first moment. Other places are secure, when Kara T& in safety and the Russians are preparing to retreat,. and to abandon their position. AN INCIDENT AT THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.—The following improbable story is from the letter of a soldier to his friends^in Glasgow, published in the North Mail: A party of men, belonging to different regiments, were partrolling from house to house in search of plunder. In one of the houses they came across a beautiful young female, about 17 or 18 "years of age. Of course som* ignorance was shown amongst the party, who commenced to drag her about, and would certainly have used violence to her, had not a young man, belonging to 18th, taken a musket and threatened to blow the first man's brains out that laid a finger on her, whereupon the young; woman flew to this man and clung to him for protection. She followed him back to the t-amp, when, coming in. sight of the camp, he beckoned for her to return but no. she would not leave him. "Whether she had fallen in. love at first sight I don't know, but she came to camp* with him. As soon as be got there he was instantly- confined for being absent when the regiment was under arms. She followed him to the guard tent and cried after him. The colonel of his regimeut, seeing the- affection that she bore him, released him, and sent them. both to General Harris, where an interpreter was got, and she related the whole affair to them. It turned out hat she is a general's daughter, with* some thousands. She was beautifully attirea, and carried t gold witich,. and wore a set of bracelets of immense value.

BATCIIELOUK, member of the Royal College of Surgeons in England (1835), and of the Apothecaries Company (1834), replenishes the sources of nervqus power, and also pro- motes a normal circulation of the blood, by acting upon the arterial system. Unequivqoal testimonials from grateful patients testify to the merits of this New Medicine. However diversitied the phases of disease, the cause is single. Dr. Batchelour, after deep investigation, is convinced that the prolific cause of disease is no other than the derangement of the nervous system and the arterial system; for he has found that functional disorders are invariably eradicated when he acts upon the nerves and arterj's. Considering that all the organs of the system are so wondrously connected with each other, the Nervo-Arterial Essence has been prepared so as to combine a number of agencies acting upon all the most important nerves and arteries. In many cases (ner- vousness especially) it would be almost impossible to discover the particutar nerves and arteries that arc tff.-cted. Most desi- ráblë plUst it therefore be, to have a medicine that possesses so wide a scope Qf operation as the Nervo-Arterial Essence. Before intro¡:1ucing it to the public, Dr. Batchelour had availed himself of his new discovery in an extensive practice; and its almost universai efficacy then and since, leaves no'doubt that if there be a panacea, it is the Nervo-Arterial Essence. 51on II ha,s been already proved in the following cases:—Depression of spirits; want of energy; inability to tlunk, or attend to any occupation melancholy; loss qf memory; giddiness; headache; noise in the ears; nervous deafness; exhaustion; nervousness; iiebility; trembling; sinking feeling at the stomach; loss of ap- petite; weight after food; flatulency; palpitation of tha heart; Sveariness of the limbs; lassitude; skin diseases; rheumatism; and particularly in DUBA^S OF CHILDREN, &c, Triangle, Hackney, December 13, 1854. My dear Doctor,—When >oii first atended me I was suflWng from general exhaustion to such an extent that, after my Sunday labours in the pnlpit, I continued almost prosirated for several lays; you said that my symptoms evidenced a deranged and in- adequate action of the nervo-arterial system, but that I should Mid could be cured by your Nervo-Arterial Essence, which at- tapked the seat of djseas'e by replenishing the sources of nervous power.
