The rcasons hitherto given wero satisfactory— that tho troops were not all in position, and that the river was overflowed—but theso reasons aro now insuficient. The Czar is at lieadquarters, the forces aro distributed, the water is receding, and still thero is no nd- vance movement, and great perplexity fs folt theroat in England.

New Youx, June 11—3:40 a. m.—The Jferald correspodent at Rustebuk telegraphs that, on Saturduy morning, o Russian force, numbering about 5,000 men, attempted to crossthe Danube near Gilurgovo acd opposite Maritin, on the Bulgarlan shore. The Jow, oslercovered Islands ot this point wero utilized by the Russiaus In the attetnpl, and bridge scctfons of pontoous were employed. The movement was rapidly cxecuted in the early morningandunder cover of theimnista that hung over the Danubo and tho adjocant marshes, but the Turks were on’ the alert and the guus of the batterles at Maretin opeued on them promptly, repulsing them with seveie loss. Reinforced, the Russinns aguin attempted to cross the river, but'were driven back by the Turkish guns. The correspondent at Quirgevo says the at- tempted crossings were made with small bodies of troops, and INTENDED ONLY A8 PRINTS to draw out the Turks and devclop thelr defeuse of the Danube near Rustchuk, DBy u series of alarms of this kind thoe Turks will be forced to keep a large number of troops distributed along tho river which they cannot concaentratu ou the real polnt of crossing.

ARMENTIA, MUKITAR PASUA, Enzenoun, June 8.—Torkish headquarters, with eightecn battallons of Infantry, two bat- terics, and 500 Kurdish cavalry, are catablished near Zewin. Tue Turks hold strong positions commanding the Zewin road. Thelr prospects appear to bo fmproved. It s believed that Mukhtar Pasha contemplates attacking ® the Russtan right wing fu three separate columns, operating from Zewin, Erzeroun, and another poivt. —— THE SUNDAY SUMMARY. IN ASlA. Lowpox, June 10.—No movcments on the Aslatic side were recorded last week which showed that the Rusalan centre and right wing bad jolned hands and sdvanced, the former on the passes of the Soghanlu Mountains, snd tho latter ony Olti and slong the Choruk Valiey, Thbers must vow be added the fact that the Rus- aisa ceutre bas obtalned communication with the left wing, so that the essteru heads of passes between the Soghanlu aud Kiretch ranges uear AMidshiner arc already in thelr MOUKNTAR PASHA baving withdrawa from his position betwecn Olti and Bardez and taken up a fresh line be- tween (Koprukol and Hassan-Kaleh, Mukhtar has thereby im proved his position, if he hasa sufliclent force north of Erzeroum to check the advance of the Rulsian right wing. This, how- ever, {a very doubt{ui, especially as his position at Kylly, south of the Araxcs, Is threstened by the extreme left of the Russian left wing. A portion of the Rurslan left wps DETACHED AT JORANOS, probably with o deeire to turn Mukhtar's strong position at Koprukol on the Araxcs, for the descent from Eaghanlu through the passes lenling down to the Valley of the Araxes s steep and difficult, as indeed (s also the descent from the Kasber ranga to Kylly, which is about half an hour's march from the Araxes. 1f the Turks stand their ground, which they can only do if they have autficlent men guanting the northern approaches to Erzeroum, the plain of Araxes will be TIHE SCENE OF A SANGUINARY BATTLE. Thegreat length of the Russlanliues of communi~ cation with the two falrly-garrisoned fortreases of Kara and Batoum in thelr rear neccseitates great cautlon on thelr part, because if the Turks had suficicnt enterpris or avaiiable forces they would lung since bave sent large reinforcements Ly sca to Batoum, and endeavored to break through the cirele which the Russian oy corps has been forming on the helghts round the Jand side of that town. A vigorou effort in this direction might yet save Erzeroum. Tho Turks appear to be becoming bastlly aware of this fuct, and some reinforcements have been ordered to Batoum, but the efforts in this direc- tion do not appear very serious. IN RUROPE. THe secret of the plan ot Russian operations on the Daoube has beenwell kept. The few special correspondents who are allowed to ace company the Russian army are forbidden, under paln of instant expulsion from camp, to send any details which might give a clew to Russla’s do- sizas, and, consequently, thers Las been lttle uews {rom the Russian side, whero operations bave been conflned to reconnolsunces by which the Russians are belng kept fully posted on the dlspositions of tho Turkish commanders. The same cannot be sald for the Turks, who BER A ULGIMENT IN EVERY COSSACK, and shut thelr eyes in terror. They have not, like the Russtaus, any friendly population to asaist them with information.
