TR QUSSIAN LINE OF OPENATIONS—THE FOUR ORBAT ROANS CORVANOING ON ERZERUM—THE OBSTACLES TO BR OVERCOME. . New York Tribune, May s, : According to the Turkish teport, the Russiana *have advanced to the westward of Kars, andare intent on Intercepting the commanications bo- tween that fortress and Erzerum, The Turkish -commander songht to defeat this movement by sending troopa from Kars to opposo the advanc- -iug Russlans, An cugagément ensued which pruved Indeclsive. It is now apparent that tho “Russlan armles arc concentraling upon Erzerum, - and ' will slmply invest Kars untll the greater fortress falls lnto thelr hands. The frontler {s crossed by four mnin ronds, The most mnorthern atarts from Poti, the terminus of a raliway from Tiflls. ‘I'his romdl, after crosalng tho Turkish frontier, furks at Batum, whence one branch runs nlou +tha coast to Trebizond, whilo the other goes di- reet to Erzcrum, ‘The sccond road crosses tho frontier close to tho Russtan fortress of Achal- zlch, and thence to Kars. Tho third is the di- rect road fiomn Tiflis to Kars, crossing the fron- tier ot the Rusalan fortress of Alexandropol. ‘The fourth road loads from Erivan to Barazid, thonco to Erzerum, The Russiana luve bequn thelr advance on tha last-nomed road by captur- ing Bayazid, In 1828, Paskewltch only moved b{;mu ihree southern routes; but the foreo at - bils comman was so small in comparison to the army now launched against Turkey that the precedent fs of no value at the present tima. Excepting of coursa thers are no great +barriers. to tho sdvance of the Russlans on thy, ronds. leading to Erzorum. The army from ¢ Potl, turning off at Batum, would pass through tho dcfilea fu the Valley ot tho Djoruk without .uceting a fortress, On isauing out into tho . {nnm of Erzerum they would find themsclves flanked on eliber hana by the littlo fortresscs of .
