Tha story which comes from Vienna to the cffect that Heine's memoirs bave been discov- ered in the eccret archives of the Imperial Library xnd arc now in course of preparation for publi- cation, awakens fresh intercst in that remarkaole work. The memoirs were compiled principally, it i known, in the years 1837 and 1838, and four volumes were completed in 1640. The work is fre- quently referred to n the correspondence of the poet. After his death the mannscript mysteriously disappeared, thouzh it was suid to have been wold to the Ausinian Government. The London World tells this story of Dom Tedro: **Duting his present visit to England he wae walking out one morning about 3 o'clock, when, tohis amazement and pleasure, he meta young Brazilian genileman, of whose late hours a0d generally fast style of hife he bad heard almost toomuch, Grasping s young friend with both hands, he warmly congratulated him on the reform indicatea by his early promenade.

New Yors, July §—3:30 2. m.—A correspond- ent in Vicnna says it Is announced in that city from St. Petersburg that the cause of the dan- gerous position in which the Ruasian armv in Armenia was lately thrown was chiefiy the fact that Persia allowed a Turkish corps from Lake Vanto pass through Persisn territory, The corps was thus cnabled to SURPRISE THE REAR OF THE RUSSIANS at Bayazid, and to jeopardize the position of a great portion of their army. The effect was all the morc embarrassing as the Russians did not antivipate any such action on the part of Persia, and were entirely unprepared for it. Reprisals of the most serious nature are consid- ercd incvitable, and the situatiou is likely to BECOME FURTHER 'COMPLICATED. It isnot yet known whether a responsible Persian official, prcmpted by bis Mohammedan feclings, acted without instructions in permit- ting this breach of neutrality, or that the re- sponsibility can be directly fixed upon the Shal’s Government. In either case, the conse- quences are likely to be very serious. THE PRESBYTERIANS. PROCEEDINGS IN THE EDINBURG COUNCIL. Spectal Dispatch te The Tribune, NEw Yok, July §—3:30a. m.—The Pan-Pres- byterian Council now assembled at Edinburg, in its scssion of Friday considered the subject of missions. Thc dcbate embraced views upon the gencral missionary work throughout the world. The epeakers were nearly all misslon- aries, and they dwelt especially on the preat need of co-operation in misslonary work and the avoidance of UNNECESSART COMPETTTION between the several branches of the Presby- terian Church. In the distant missions delicate distinctions of faith or church polity were in- appreciab ¢ to the minds of unbaptized or new- 1y-baptized barbarians. The general tone of the depate was indicative of a desire to found somesystem of united missionary endeavor. The report of the Committee charzed with the con- siderztion of this matter was presented. to the Council, and xives A VERY HOPLFUL OUTLOOE in this direction. No business was transacted Samr‘duy by the Council. A praer-mecting was held in the morning, after which social entertainments were given in private residences througheut the city in honor of the delegates. WAR-MISCELLANY. THE GARRISON OF ARDAIAN. The remains of the unfortunatc garrison of Ardalian, writes a Loudon ZTekgraph corre- Spondent from Erzeroum, straggie along the road in the dircction of Erzeroum; and as these men carry their arms and are eencrally without food, and always without money, they plunder, and often with extreme viclence, the waylarers or villages of the surrounding country. The con- dition of these runaway soidicrs is very pitiable, and, 8s in civilized places bunger often drives ten towards crime, itis Dot surprising thai such famished wretches arc carcless about the Injurics shey inflict on others in order to provide toemsclves with foud. One man. wnose arin was fractured by a musket ball, walked through the mountains all the way from Ardaban to Erzeroum. His broken limb was ticd up with sowe rags and sticks, but the dressing was not changed; he had nothing to eat except the dry crusts he carried in a bat, and on bisarrival here e scemed no longer in his right mind.

Il-clotbed, thin, and sor- rowful-looxing soldiers crawl about the streets in such mumbvers that ft is often difficult to force one’s way through them. The_hospitals are unprovided withi bread, much less with medical comtorts; there is not even lint to dress the wounds, and the sick and matmed fi6bble into the filthy wards only to perish mis- crably; There is no entausiasui amongthe peo- le, who, dragzed [rom their homes without Deine able to leave any money for the support of their families, are filled with bitter thoughts about their unprotected children left all Mone in some distent province. The fondition of the peasants _in the Seishborhood is equally affecting. Thelr liitle crops and supply_of wheat have been taken by the Government in exchange for uscless papers and, as they have no seed to plant in the round, dreadful privationsare instorefor them. $itient and long-suffering, they bear their troablos with great dignity, and, after some pious exclamation, always express 2 touching con- fidence in the care and benevolence of the Di- vinity.

The Emperor dwellsin a pretty seven-roomed villa—a journalistic fricud of mine boasts with ruth that he lives next-deor to the Czar of all the Russias. Gen. Népokoitschitzky, tho Chiet of the Stafl, may be met at soy time walking between his own quar- ters and those occapicd by the Grand Duke, commanding-inchief, unattended even by an aide-de-camp, and with a great bundie of pa- pers under his arm. Every passer-by may see Prince Gortschakoff sitting out in the open air on the raised doorstcp of his house, under the shade of shrubs growing there in pots, steoping languidly over oue of the movels which are ~ said to engross much of -his time. The Grand JuNicholas lcaves his quarters and walks - personal staff throuza the strects to fu8%6e, the lurge room of which is used as a headquartcr mess. The other day while dining in the parden of the Hotel Brofit, I noticed three young stall oflicers sitting by a little table. The waiter desired to serve them; they wished to dinc, but were anxious to do so jn one of ths pretty bosquets, and would wait till one was vacant, which was not then the case. They waited some time, and then fell heirs to the hosquet, and, lct us hope, enjoyed there Mr. Brofit's ‘exceilent cheer. An oilicer who bap- pencd casually to join me pointed out one of tiic three as the-GUrand Duke Nicholas the younger, the son of the Commander-in-Chief and the nephew of the Emperor. Having dined, the litle party weut quietly ofl to the theatre, noue of the House of Broflt being awsre who was the distngaished gruest. The same afternoon six stafl-oiticers walked into the garden of the same hote} and demanded of Miller the accommoda- tion of six bed-chambers for the pvight. The house was full, but Miller knew three of the officers as previous customers, and told these be ould strain a point to provide for them. They aecepted the nccommodation; the otber threc went away to tind quarters elsewhere. One of them, who was carrying his own hand-bag, was the Archduke Vladimir, and his imperial hilgh- ness ultimately achieved a bed-room on the Nird floor of the Lotel des Boulevards. It can- not, certainly be said of Russian staff officers that they arc sybarit THE BULGARIAN LEGION. The Bulgarian Legion, which s composed of Christians who are bent upon avenging the out- razzes at Batak, is encamped near Bucharcst. Tho volunteers are farmers who have takenrefugein Servia and passcd thence into Roumania. Some of tucm are large land-owners. They fare well in camp. Bread, made from wheat and rye, is served out each morning, sod every volunteer is eatitled to about three pounds for two days. Sonp is served out at 8 a. m. and 3t 7 p. m., whilet the dinner-hour is fixed at 1 p. m. Che soup for each division is composed of five different sorts, §o that the. most tastidious or greatest epicurc may have a choice. The ingredients sre . rice, vegctables, garlic, onions, beans, oatmeal, and peas. Each man fs entitlcd to half a gallen. Hov long thiy thing will continue depcnds on Bulgarian funds, which just now are lentiful. Bect, and mutton, and vegctables form the staple of the dinner, and the rations are large. Each division bas its own portable bakery, and the ovens are merely places over the fires in the ground. The fuel” is timber, which fatizue parties brinz in each morning. The water is carricd from adjacent wells. The whole of the commissariat is managed by the Bulgar- {hu Committce. Tlhicre is no pay, but braady is served out each Sunday, and cach man has about two ounces_of tobacco allowed him for evory five days. The dress is plain and service- eble. The shoes are of untanned leather, and tho gaiters are of the same material. The Zouuve loose trousers made of Moravian blue cloth, corded with yellow, are surmounted by a Toose biouse of the same color, but trimmed with red. Each man wears a Hannel—red or bluc—sash girdle, a5 a preventive of dyscntery, which, by the way, is growing rather “common throughout the whole ars, owing to the chanzes in the weather and the consumption of unsound vegetables. THE ¥FIGHT AT DELIBABA. Correspondence Aew York Times. Loxpoy, June 23.—I have bad the opportu- ity of scelng private and public dispatches from Delibaba and Erzeroum detai'ing the com- nencement and progress of the fight at Delibaba. The Ottomans fought with stubborn valor. They stood to be liter- ally mowel down by the Russian gune. Tley remained to be slaughtered by the cav- alry. Attacked on the flank when they were hotly pressed in front, the tubbornness of the defense was the valor of despair. Officers and men fought with equal bravery, and Mehemed Pasha died sword in band at the head of his troops. The Russians had modeled their plan of attack on the German system, and they fought with uncxeelled bravery, returning again and again to the point sclected to be brokeo. Tue closing cavalry charges were brilliant ¢f- forts, and a troop of Cossacks were detached to capture Gep. Rimball, an English_oflicer who was watching the battle on - the Turkish sidc. The General only cscaped by the flectness of bis horse. The Russinas thought he was in com- mand of the encmy, but he was simply at head- quarters, just a5 American and_English ofticers were allowed to move with both the belligerent armies iu the Franco-German war. e e———— ‘Hydrophobia Prophylactics, The Journal de Therapeutiquerelers to another addition to thelatready formidable list of proph- Vlactics. against thydrophobla: that is, Ur.

The Military Resoarces at Her Command —Regular Troops, Militia, and Volunteers —~Ontrained Recrults—Dificulty, Confusion, and Delay. . Zondon Standard, June 15. 1t is our hope and belicf that there is no pres- ent probavllity of our being drawn into war on the Eastern question; but it is sdmitted that our interests may, sooneror later, be threat- ened to such an extent that we shall be com- pelled in sel{-defensc to draw the sword. Un- der these circumstances every thoughtful En- glishman must wish to know what are our mili- tary resources,the number of men whom we could place in the field,and the time which would elapse between the resolution to strike and the blow. Un paper We DOSSCSS an ariny ‘which, for D er which reties mainly on her navy, is of no contemptible strentth. the United. Kinzdon: there are about 105,000 regular troops, 134,500 militia, 14,830 yecomanry, 174,241 eflicient Yolunteers, and 15,000 first-class ana 21,000 sec- ond-class army reserve, making a grand total of about 45, men. Of these the active army. about 30,000 menof the militia rescrve, and’ the “first-class’ reserye arc alone liable to serve out of the country, though her Majesty may accept the offer of militia corps to do garrison duty in the Mediterrancan, Un- fortunately, however. there is the widest possi- ble diflerence between an actual army and one 25 1t appears on paper. On the 1st of January, 1877, the effective nuwnber of the British army was 99,991, We may assume, thereforc, that at the present moment the ef- fective strength is about 100,000. From these we must, for fighting purposes, deduct on account of * miscellaneous depart- ments, and ofticers of staff and departments re- uired at home, about 1,550 of all ranks. It is also reasonable to deduct for men who are sick, absent, about to be invalided, and in prison, another 3,500, This reduces the effective fight- ing strength of the regular army to about 95000 of all ranks. Then ~there arc untrained recruits, who may be assumed to number another ' 5,000; but the largest deduction of all bhas tfo be made on account of those Who, though technically tratned and effective, arc too young to undergo the hardships and fatigues of a camnpaign. We have high authority for stating that of the men rocently raised no inore than ane out of three is fit for work till aiter an average service of cightcen months. We cannot, therefore, sct down the number of immature men at fewer than 15,000. Thus only 75,000 men now serving in the regular army can be considered fit to take the tield. The first~class army reserve is. esti- mated at 14,000 men, but it is no- torions thay we canoot af the pres- cnt moment rcckon on more than 10,0005 o that the number of trained fighting men available at a moment’s notice is oms' 85,000 men. From the militia reserve we could obtain, perhaps, 25,008 men, but these are only half drilled; they could uct, therefore, be counted On for the opening of @ campuign. We may consider, however, that Eugland possesses ut suflicient number of men to enable us to send to the East two corps d’armee of 33,000 men each, and to leave bebind 2 very tolerable reserve, for in a fow months the militia reserve would have completed their military education. So far, this is satisfactory; but when we come to consider the mcans which the authoritics would be compelied to adapt to complete and prepare the two corps d'armee in question, our admiration of the military system of this coun- try disappears. We have, in fact, a suflicient namber of men for our purposes, and an ample Supply of cadres, but_the expanding of these cadres would_cause much difliculty, confusion, and delay. Two corps cobsist of forty-two battalions of infaniry aund twelve ~re ments - of cavalry, besides artillery, en- gineers, cte. ~ Af the present moment there are 18 battalions, cach 063 strong, aud 21 with a strength of 653. The war strepgth of a battalion is 1.097 of all ranks. From each set of fizures larze deductions would, as we show- ed above, have to be mude; but even without these deductions it would be necessary to add 134 oflicers and men to each of tne 13 ftrong battalions. We say 21 weaic - battalions, beeause the Guards could casilv out of their scven battalions fur- nish three of full strength for a campaign. Thus, omitting all deductions for sick, absent, in prison, invalids, reeruits, and immature men, we should have to add to 39 battalions 1L736 men, or more than the available number of first- class army reserve men. Allowing for deduc- therefore, we should be compelled, speaking rougbly, to araft from other regi- Ments about 5,000 men to raisc the ecrvice battalions to their full number of efiicient feiting. men. The comusion of Incorpo- rating from 200 to 300 strangers into cuclh battalion may be easily imagined, and it would be some little time before the new comers would e thoroughiy fused with their comrudes. The Dprovess, oo, of obtainingz, distributing, and ciothing these additional men would be & troublesome and lengthy one, that could not with the utmost exertions be accomplised in less than three weeks, The tweive cavairy reg- jments and thirty batterics would have to be completed in a similar manner and at oo equal cost of time. Sill, in Three weeks the task could be performed a8 e~ gards the men, though the price would be the femporars fueticiency of all the regiments and corps lett at_home. As rczards the horses it would be different. If we cxelude horses un- tramed, sick, worn-out, * wanting to comolete,” and those of the Houschold Cavalry, we have ouly about 6,000 horses, anumber which, il.cvery one were taken, would not quite suffice for mounting_the twelve regimenty sent on field service. ~The artillery arc no better oft in thut respect, but we refrain as much 3s possible from wearying our readers with minute calculations ~and details. It is to he borne in mind also that thercare many other constituent parts of a field army besides Dbattalions, squadrons, and batteries. ‘here are the Military Police, & body which may be said not to exist m England during peace tiwme. Above all, there is the transport service. Th branch does not possess much more than 1, Rorses, and how we should be able, at a moment’s notice, satisfactorily to provide the 90,600 additional horses that would be indispcusably mccessary is not ensy to discover. ‘There arc plenty of horses to be obtained in England, if we hoose o nay for them; but pay as we mieht it would take many weeks before we could exam- ine, purchase, and collect even 10,000 horses suitavle for the military train. Tt may te replied that, having the cadres 0% 8 transport corps, we must, as heretofore, obtain our horses and wagons st the theatie of war. The difliculties, however, which we cxperlenced in 1854 in collecting transparty e dishearteninz result of our exert ons,a the time required to piace over 23,000 men with the ligntest equipments in a position to move, will not soon be forgotten by those who were in Bul- garia. At the present moment matters appear To be even worse. Ministers of State in Con- stantinople are compelled to give up, their equipages, horses are asked for from Tunis, and it may be assumed that the avaflable re- sources of Turkey in this respectare next to noth ing. Then there fs the Army Hospital Corps. Tiiis is a force which cannot be extemporized, and we have provided no means_ for expanding the small cadre which exists. As to the stall, it mav be reasonably presumed that a fist ol the general and staff officers who would be ap- pointed hos_been drawn out. 1f such s the case, the staff ‘would probabiy be ready to em- bark at least as soon as the troops. No delay need, therefore, be feared on that account. “That the troops could mot be ready to o on board in lcss than three weeks irom the date of the declaration of war is tolerably certain. and it is cqually certain that by that time a sutlicient number of steamers could be collected. The yoyage to Constantinople may be estimated at from ffteen to twenty days. In six weeks, therefore, from the day on ‘which the Cabinct resolved to send an army to Turkey 76,000 men could be placed on shore at Constantinople. With these data and a calculation ot the time which it would take a Russian force to march— it unopposed—from thc Danube to Adriano- Dle, we know exactly how much space for cou- sideratton, resolution, and execution we have. To a certain extent tne above examination of our resources for defending British interests in the East is satisfectory; but we must not be rendered supine by the reflection that with six weeks' warning we could place 76,000 men i high state of defensivc efficiency on Turkish soil. A passive defense - inva- riably fails, and to 8 passive defensc the English troops would be, for many weeks after their arrival, reduced. ~Without trans- port, they could not, in a military sense, move Ponile from the point of disembarkation, and o transport train we should have absolutely to create. Judeed, the same may be said of the ariny senerally. We hase admirable materials of certain descriptions, but no arrangements Oxist for putting them into play, while, in many important and in many essential complements to our mere fighting strepgth we are absolutely defident. e ——— Mrs: Tom-Ki-Jon.
