Both Russians and Turks seom to desiro a broathing- space, The formor sro awaiting tho arrival of rogerves and reinforcoments, Tho latter possess, probably, little transport or other military . appli- ances requisite to enable thom to assume tho offonsive and improve their advantage. Tho Russian Government has mobilized tho Corps of Guards, and ordered it totho Valley of tho Danube. It has already begun to movo from St, Petersburg, but its foromost battalions caunot reach Sistova before the beginning of next month, ovon if all goes wellon tho Russian and Roumanian rail- ways, Tho reserves, which havo beon called TO THE KUMBER OF 186,000, will require o still longer timo for transport to tho theatre of actual conflict, and, were they oven to reach Bulgarin, could hardly with advantago be ploced in line of battle, They ore, for tho most part, unacquainted with the uso of breech. londing fire-arms, and uniltted for wear and tenr of night duty and want of ro- pose and rest to which in their peasant life they havo been unaccustomod, but, if it is the policy of tho Russians to remain quies- cont, and whilomorely watching their onemy, to await reinforcements, it. is of vital interest to the Turks to assume tho offonsive and endeavor to gain somo signal advantage ovor the invaders before they aro roinforcod by tho arrival of frosh mon and material. Of such a course THE OTTOMAN ADMIZS SEEM INCAPABLE. Thoy elthor cannot or will not move with vigor. When tho general concentric advaaco from all sides might press Russians hard, and even endangor their line of communica- tion betweon tho passes of the Balkans and the Bistova bridge, both Osman Pasha and Mehomot Ali romain fnactive, Suleiman Pashs appears, indeed, to be bestirring him- elf, and to be making endeavors to forco for ocoupy tho passes through tho mountains, but he {a left to assault the guardians of the passes in their front, whilo a direct forward movement from Plevna or Shumla might turn the position and force the Russian troopa around Tirnova and sonth of that Polnt to fall back for the safoty of thelr lino of communications, without striking a blow. But the troops of Mehemet Ali seem unable to advance through want of organization and on account of administrative inability, while those of Osman Pasha are too weak numerically to issue forth from their defens- ive position and give battle in open ground to tho army of the Grand Duko Nicholas, GENERAL.

Jt ts reported that Prince Hossan, In the Dobrudacha, {6 marching rapidly with his Egyptian troops, with the object of cutting off the communications of the Russtans with Bed- sarabla, SImultancously the elght Turkish steamers have received orders to disembark the force north of the Danube mouths with the same object. MONTENEGRO, Montenegrin outposts report that a Turkish army of twelve battalions of regulars and sey- eral thousand frregulars have begun a move- ment on Drobniak, The Mortencgrin force is utterly inadequate to oppose thei, and will fall back for the protection of the inkabitante ‘until refaforcements arrive. i A LONG Wan, Every detail of preparations shows that the Russians have made up their minds for a long war, and are preparing great depots of fire- wood. The Roumavian Government is also asking tenders for a supply of great quantitics of clothing and stores. A rain of less than twelve hours’ duration has rendered THE KOADS at Sistova, over which the Russian supplies are transported, a sca of mud, with gaping holes at frequent Intervals. It will be very diMcult for the Russianscver to maintain their armics be- tycen the Balkans aud the Danube when aum- mer weather breaks up. ADSENCH IN RUBBIA OF OFFICIAL WAR-NEWS. Dispatch to London Timer, Benin, Aug. &.—The Gols reercts, and other Russian journals cannot help noticing, the pro- longed absence of Russian offictal news from theseat of war, Itts also remarked that the Population of the villages und = minor towns— hat is, vers nearly the whole popitation of the Emplre—have. alnce the beginning of the catn- pagu, been left tn ‘ignorance of what ta coing on ‘The circulation of newspapers amonz the rural classes being always jealously watehed by the Government, the announcement, at the beginning of the campaign, that an of- flclat fournal would be published at the sent of wur, chiefly for tha beneflt of the middle and Jower orders, created universal satiafaction., The pruinised Journal, however, has elther not been published, or, at anv rate, not been made accessible to people at home, Nor are any lists of wounded and killed publish- ed, notwithstanding the strictest and most de- tailed promlaa to that effect given at the com- mencement of t] ‘ar. The upshot of it all is, thot the immense majority of the Russtan peo- ple nelther know what s happening at the scat of war, uor know whether thelr friends aud relatives {n the army ore dead or alive. Efforts also to remedy this eurry state of tulugs have been prevented hy the Government. An attempt of some municipal bodies to cireulate printed sheets containing war news has been stopped by the authorities. “The offer of a large number of students tu go out and assist filiterute soldiers in writing home, has been declined, on the plea that it is part of the duty of the Sleters of Charity to correspond for thu sick and wounded, Bearing fu mind that the masses arc thus ayste- matically kept in tke dark. wo muy imagine the disquieted atate of publle opinion nt a time when even the motety of educated persons ara left In tgnorance by the absence of oillclal tole- granis in the more tmpourtant journals, MIDHAT PASIIA, PAepatch tn Landon Times, ¢ Benin, Aug. 2 tidnnt Pasha two days ago told the Vienna correspondent of tho Culugna Gazette that Turkey had plenty of men to carry on the war, and was determined todo su, she required money, however, and, If her solicita- tlous were refused, would be compelled to un- furl the Prophet’sbanner, | ‘hts measure placed not only the Hyves, but also the property, of every inhabltant, at the disposal of the Sultan, yor “Imperiicd the asnfety of no one except house Who consplred agalust the vountry.

Twonty-live battalions of regular troops have been ordered from Batoum to Varna, and reluforcements are dally arriving and belug im- mediatdly dispatched tu Adrianople. It {6 hard to belleve that {n Europe, as in Asia, the great Russians can have been beaten by the Turks, and that thoay who attacked are now in turn assailed aud reduced to reinuin on the defenulye, Instead of anxiety as to Russian victories, Russlun defeats are now discussed,—a contrast compared bys Vienna journal to tho surprise felt by the ‘world when the French, at =the = time of thelr great Revolution, repulsed the armies of united Europe, ‘The position of Ture oy has all at once enthely changed, Shu ls giving proof of ay onerzy of which she was never deemed capably, and the Crescent ceases taboan object of pity, ‘The preas here, with out exception, rejoices ot the succes of the ‘Turke,—potating out, however, that wo aro still only in tha middte of the war, and that many surprises may still be in story fur us, Turkey, as Is remarked, 1s not yet saved, whatever the tuilltary glory abe has just acquired.

My lodgings are somewhat removed from the busy quarter, and into the little shrubbery- covered garden few sounds penetrate exceptthe chimes of the Bulgarfan chapel on the hill, and. the voices of children playing In the street. It {sawelcome change from the long and weary rile slong the dust-covered country-roads, over steep and barren hills and through solemn gorges.

Of course, there is much more than a mere cavalcade in all this to the Bulyars, who appre- clate more fully than the Kusslans themselves that the latter bave tome to act them free from Moslem bondage. The Ruesian seldiers of the Mne, I fancy, aro often puzzled at TNE EFPUSIVR OnATITUDE with which they are treate] by the natives, They do not recollect to have come here upon any especially benevolent errand; in fact. they remember that they started out on this expe- dition principally because they were or- dered to do 80 by thelr officers; and if there was any one feeling animating them at the thue, it was a kind of general hatred of Turks and an Instinctive yearning to slash off thetr heads. As tothe Bulgarians, I doubt f that much-abused race came into thelr thoughts One wayorthe other, Hence it is not strange that the common soldier {s somewhat embar- rassed by the cordial attention uf the native Christian, aud, not being of a quick tum of inind, {s obliged to ponder much over this per plexingly-kind reception.

From Our Own Correspondent, Gannova, July 18—I closed the preceding Jetter rather abruptly night before last, intetl- fog to finish it yesterday. In. that, however, I was not disagrecably disappoluted, for Njearnea yesterday morulng that Gen, Mirsky's diviston was already on the march. My preparations hed. been completed, and 1 was fortunately ready to atart at a moment's notice, Accordingly I was inthe saddle ot 8 o'clock, ‘Che troops had left cainp at daybreak, and were therefore some dis- tance ahead of me by that thne. I spurred my horse out of town ona gallop, It was a beauti- ful, fresh, sunimer moruing, and the dew lay white upon the grass by the roadside. BRYOND TIRNOVA . the road deacends slightly for several miles, but it is Grm and hari, and crosses one or two streams by incans of substantial stone dridges that would be creditable to the enterprise of a +] go-ahead, clyillzed peuple, but which one would least expect in a country which tradition has re- garded for many ceuturics as oppressed aud poverty-stricken, At Travoa, an insignificant Bulgarian village consisting of only a few cottages clustered upon the bank of @ snountain torrent,.I found, for the first time in my experience, on American missionary, Sir. Clark, a pleasant, mild-mun- nered young man, told me that he bad been up among the mountains at Belltza, but, owing to the disturbed condjtiou of the district, bo had been obliged to return to Coustantinople. Hay- ug got as far as Travua, ho bad been PLUNDERED OF 113 HORSE by a party of Bashl-Barouks, and was thus left comparatively without resources. As my ae qQuaintauce could uot speak French, und as my knowledge of the English language is nut re- markabiy exteualve, our cuvyersution was necessarily Winlted, I sball be curious to learn how Mr. Clarks will coutrive to rcach Constan- tuople. 4 teow Babes from Tunove tho road croascs the Jantra, and the difficulties of the Journey begin toloom up before the traveler. One bids adieu tothe green fleids and the amooth. level drive. hocks tower above and block the pathway. The mountafns were here split apart by some zigan- tle disturbance, and the broad strata of stone, wrenched from thelr foundations, lie with their sharp edges exposed. Itis neross these and over these that the weary traveler must climb, and wos be to him if ho siips front the saddle, for he fs Mable to have his lead punctured by the rocks, or, worse, to slip down the smooth sides into UNYATHOMABLE GORGES below, A road was built here in ancient times, but it was long azo left to the mercics of wind and Weather, and only faint traces can here and there be discerned. ‘Occasionally one comes to placea where au avalanche uf small stones has pee up across the path to the height of ‘hirty or forty feet, rendering a pass- age all but imposstble. " As — the horse attempts .to mount the barricade the stones slide out from beneath his icct, car- rving iil back irresistibly to the point of starting. It was fortunate for me that 1 had been preceded by Mirsky’s cavalry, though I du not know how they managed to scramble over these obstructions, [ fullawed thelr track, and foaily succeeded in making some headway, bout “noon F came up with the Russian trvops, who had made 4 pause at a point. where the road twasin better condition, Gens.

The entire Russlan force did not exceed eighteen battatlons, while it was probable that twice as many Turks were concealed belind the mounds. Stllbon attack was ordered, The alle Yatice was made in three columns, Gen, Mirsky hokling the centre with five reciinents ana four cannon, Gen.

Orloff with a foree of Cossacks marened on the left, The Peas was much wider bere, and iu the im- mediate vicinity of the earthwork there Was an gocn common large enough for an ariny to de- ploy and draw up into position. at was SURPRISING thatthe Turks stuuld have chosen thls spot for tueir firat defense, At any point for miles back they ~ might — have erected barriendes that would have held an enormous army at bay, You may finagine the Hussiun leaders amniled when they found with what deference they were treated by the Turks in thls matter, But even with this pleasant ar- rangement all was not clear salling forthe Rus- slans,asthey found out Inter. A columnof Cossacks was thrown out experimentally, in order to tumpt the euemy out of their Fonition if posetble. Standing upon an abrupt hillock at one side I watched the movement with intense interest. Nor had I long to wait. Tne Turks came pouring out of thelr fntrenchinent and covered the side of the rough ground in front of it. All at once the'r guns roared, and shot bezan to slug. The Kuasian guns, which had beea brought Iuto position, responded, and. A DEAVENING CANNONADE was soon guing ou, waking all the dead echoes that cver haunted the desulated fortresses of the Balkans. Jt was not deemed advisable to Dake a ehurge In the face of these fearful odds, an'l xo the contest was Ilmited to tirlng at a dis- tance. ‘This lasted about an hour, when the urder to Withdraw was given. ‘The Turks wisely ab- stalned from followlu us, ani x00 retreat was tnade tn excellent order toa neighboring wheat fell.

This week's work tu Bulgaria wl) mark an epoch fu European history. It means onu of two Udoys: elther a prosecution of the war with fintuensely-ineresacd forces and the «most stubborn resolution on the part of Russla, or else the acquiescence of that Power ina falluro Which will change all {ts relations to its neigh- bors. If we put the latter alternative out of the question for the present, we may inquire into the conditions of the former, Tuking for granted that the Russtan Goyern- inent, and ‘still more tho Imperial family, are conscious of the absolute necessity of success, and will place thelr last regiment In the fleld, we bave iu prospect one of the most gigantic and fiercely-contested campaigns that Eurepo hassecn, There can be nu doubt of the beary losses sustalocd by the Ruselaus, and that they have been {nflleted by the Turks in cir- cumstances which giyo reason to believe that the result has not been fortultoas or dependent on some pecullarity of position that will not be repeated. The trst element of sucecss in wor, supposing 8 rcasonaulo equality in uther respects to exist betiveen the bellizer- ents, fanumbers. The Turkish arinics are far More numerous than tho Russians expected. At Bucharest and Simultza the officers have persuaded themselves that the number of the Sultan's troops in Europe had been immensely exaggerated by rumor or partisanship. They were convinced, a few daya since, that only 90,000 Turks were to be found in Bulgaria, Tacy have been by this tine palufully unde- ceived, The fact is. that the Turklah forces have grown while the Russtana bave been pre- burlug, and the calculations of January, or even, of Apri, no longer bold. Every week reln- forceinents have arrived at Coustantinople or Vorng, and thesa levies, though the provinces have been swevt bare to turnish then, are now in the tleld to chock, It not to roll back, the tldv of favasion.

Unless estimates wade fu great detall” by — persons professing — special kvowledge are quits erroneous, the Russians have brought 000 nyu into Roumania; but. of theses part is still delayed by the dillicalty of trausport. To this cause we must attribute a general heaviness in the Russian movements, whitch makes itself manifest iu spite of such ex: pile as Gen. Gourko’s passaze of the Balkans, For the purposes of the present campaizn, which may be decided before auotber week bs over, the Russlau army is that which cau be uctually brought up against the evucay; aud, compared with the Ottotwan forces which it may have tu uttack, It dues uot show any superiurity of uumbers, Jt way prove, of coure, that the Turks themselves are equally unable ty conceptrite; but we are bere conslder- {ng posslbltitles, and one of these is, that the Russians will tnd themselves eugaved at once with the three armies of Mchctuet AN Pasha, of tuy victorious Osan, and of Sulelinan Pashaon tue vier vide of the Balkaus, acting agutost them on ‘ommon plu. apd with tea. perarily superior forces.

Osman Pasha would advance from Plevna and Lowatz, and the combined forces would urive the Russtans ontof the ancient Capitat of Balgaris, which they should never have been al- lowed toenter. Stich ia tha plau. and no dis- play of atrategical detail {s needed to show {te" importance and feasibility, But. is’ such © movement to exe pected from on Turkish army? Some itne since the answer voutd have been fn the negative: even the forefen milltary critica, Ger- mab and Hungarian, who are most favorable to the Turks, admitted that their etratecy and their maneuvering fell short of the standard of 8 Betd-campalzo. Here, however, there are at Jeast no long marches and no complicated operations to be undertaken; the distances aro sipall, the oblect comparatively simple. Tho ability of the Turkish soldier to fight the Russians in the open field has been doubted, and certainty he’ ios na yet chietly distinguished “himself behind’ a stone wall ora bauk of carth, But thero is no reason to suppose that this arises from any nat- ural incapacity; with confidence will probably come the vigor whick takes the offensive. When Ostman Pasha'a men hai repulsed tho Rusmans, crusting them with their artillery, thoy moved furward all along tho line and drove the enemy from his positions. A similar inci- dent marked at least one battic of the Asiatle campaign, We must, therefore, not be aur- prised to find the Turks more and more edu- sated toa warfare on equal terms with the {a vader, We have given the considerations which tell in favor of the Turka; {t {8 only prudent to no- fice the advantaies of the Russians, The latter have, in the Stet pints, an fmmeuse superiority of resources; and It is absolutely certain that, whether publicly proclatmed or not, tuere will be at once agericral levy for military service. Then the Russians, though threatened right and lett in their extended advance, have the advantage that they operate from on ius terfor “position against = two armics which they could turn against aud crush one after another. If the Russtans had a Bonaparte amoung them, they would never have to flgnt Osman Pasha and the new Senlar at thesama time. We have sald that very pos- slbly the Turks may show In the course of the campaign acapacity for fighting in the fleld; but, at the same time, the chances In tlese en- counters will, on the whole, bo on the side of the Russians, who are better led, and whose anny is 9 inore aclentifically-constructed ma- chine, Indeed, ‘the Russians would be In comparatively fittle danger if they had not thelr communtcations with the Balkans to keep up. Theexplott of Gen. Gourko now rather embarrasses than aldsthem. Ifthey were able tu concentrate near their base of operations un- tll thelr reinforcements came to them from Rus- sla, they migut move against the divided corps of the Turks with almost the certainty of eventual success, As it is, they may he forced futo action by military as well as palftical neces- sities. Yet they have time for reflection, for Osman Pasho is still at Plevna, and the con- Lined Turkish movement may be Jong delayed, if itis effected at all. FRANCE, GAMBETTA, Fe Loxpox, Aug. 17.—Gambetts, some dayz ogo, made a great political speech at Lille, tha publication of which bas been hitherto preyent- ed by fear of thacensorship. Gambetta ex- Dressed great confidence as to reault of the elections, and spoke with his usual bitterness, aguinst the Bonapartists, whom ho stigmatized, as the party of invasion, He sald the charge of latent radicalism which was brought forward. asanexcuse for dissolving the Chamber was’ ambiguity and folachood. Relative to the as- sertion of the -reactlonary papers that: President = AMacMahon = will = not = bo. obliged to . submit to the will of the nation, a4 expreased by the coming eleo- tous, Gambetta sald: It fs tuyain that such things are said, or rather allowed to be sald, in hope they will cheer the failing hearts of tho Government's auxillarics. When tho sole au- thority to which oll must bend has pronounced, do not think thas any onc fy strong enough to oppoac it. Do not think that wheu milllons of electors of the frea soil of France have made thelr choice there will be one, whatever be his degree, thatcould resist. Believe me, when France has prunounced her asvvercign will, there must elther be submission or resignation. opitnanr.
