And, thongh there is no corroborating news to-day, I am sure of the general corrcotnces of the announcement that the advance of the Russians will inally begin in earnest, ARMENIA. ~ TIIR FINST PITCHED DATTLE, Loxpos, June 21.—We have the only de- tailed Information respecting the first conflict in the open fleld between the Turks ond Russians in Armenin. It will bo remem- bered that Moukhtar Pasha reinforced the troops at Delibaba some days ngo, and ordered the commander, Melicmet, to aldvance through the passes from the Aras Valley and Pasin Plain and meet the Russians. Mehemet, thercfore, descended the slope and took up 8 position at Zeldtkan or Saldacham, which s ten or twclve miles eouthwest of Toprake Kaleh, and Just in front of the passes above mentloned. Iis artiilery strength is not stated, but it was not strong. 1lis Infantry was not above 8,000, and he had little or no cavalry, and that was bad. . TNR RUSSIAN L2PT) under Lleut,-Gen. Tergukasoff, had, on the other hand, about 10,000 infantry and plenty of cannan, hestde an effectual cavalry torce. The Turks brought on the fight by advances on the 15th Inst. The whole day was spent in an artile lery duel, but on the 16th the Russlans began Lhe exceutlon of what was evidently a scttied plan. Bix bodies of Russlan [nfantry advanced at 0 o'clock, under cover of a terrible artlllery fire. Notwithstanding the Turks returned o steady fire, the encmy continued to advance, and finally, by detaching a strong hody, turned. the Turkish right fiank, sclzed a commanding hill, and quickly threw up breast. works, ond there cstablished four field guos which enabled them to ! RARE ALMOST THE ENTIRE PRONT at the Turkish line. ¥rom this movement the lossca of the latter were serlous. Thelr men fell rapidly, thelr artillery was dislodged, and thelr whole ariny exposed without support toa wnurderous fire for over twenty minutes.

C, Junc 21.—It can be aothoritatively stated that the annexation of any portion ol Mexican territory is not a part of the Adminlstration policy, Secretary McCrary to-day sald that the Administration did not want any of tho soll or population of Mexlco, and that the only thing with respect to Mexleo upon which tho Government s determined fe, that the ralds over the Rio Grande border shall atop, and that yas the Mexican authoritics have citlier been unwilling or unable to stop these incursions, the United States has determined that It will stop them itself, Upon being asked whether the fact that two Mexican factions had recently crossed the river and had a battle upon our soil would tend to complieate the relations between the United Btates and Mexico, or call for any movement on the part of the United States, the Secrctary re- plica that he did not think any particular notico would be taken of this Invasion of oursail, but that, 1n view of the definite polley of the Ad- ministration, the desecration of cur soll was g very wholesome precedent, as under the clr- cumstances Mexico could make no complalint if our troops, In pursuit of border marauders, should Tollow, punish, them across the river.

THE PRESIDENT sald to-day that there was not a shadow of foundation for the report. No project for an- nexing territory beyond the Rlo Grande had as much o8 been mentioned in the Cablnet.
