No fighting haa occurred in Shipka Pass since the Turkish troops wore, towards mid. night on Monday, forcod out of tho Russinn intronchmonts, which they held for only a fow hours. Tho trogps of Gen, Radotzky nnd Suleiman Pasha still faco each other on the summit of tho Balkans in tho posi. tions thoy ocoupied!at tho ond of Inst month. Noither side is able to advance, and neither smdo is willing to rotiro, yot truo stratogy demands the presenco of tho armies of both Generals clsewhere. Tho Russian compaign does not now roquire Bulolman Pashn to bo chocked in Bchipka Pass, THE DECISIVE DLOW, 80 far as operations this yoar are concornod, must bo struck oither on the Jontra or the Vid. At either point tho treops of Gon. Radotzxy would bo of moro avail than they con bo while employed in guarding tho mountain road, which leads to. no im. portant ptrategical point. If tho Czaro- witch bo defeated by Mehomet Ali, the occupation of Schipka Tasa will beo a sourca of dangor instond of advantage, as tho Eighth Army Corps, which is committed thero, may very probably bo cut off from all possibility of retreat to tho Danube. If Mo- hemot All, on the other hand, concentrated on tho Jantra, Behipka Pass could ensily bo turned and rondered intenablo for an Otto~ man column in caso the Russian armics again desired to ponotrats Roumelia. Tho Turkish Géneral {s STILL MODE IN ERROB than his odversary to persist in wasting men and time in ondeavoring to carry works that are clustered at the highest point of the Schipka defile, The junctlon of hisarmy with that of either Osman Pasha or tho corps under Mchemot Al imight turn the scalo by a goneral aud decisive engagoment. " There aro roads by which ho could unite with either, but for some unexplained reason lio prefers o carry on an independent cam. paign, devoid of result and productivo only of alanghter, The Tarkish loss on Monday last in the bafled atternpt to capture Fort Bt. Nicholas amounted to 8,000 men. Theso Lilled and malmed goldiers can only be re- garded as A ORATUITIOUS BACRIZION to Suleiman Pasha's porverse obstinacy. Everywhero terriblo losscs have been in. curred whon front attacks have been dirooted ngainst intrenchmeuts garrisoned by rifiten supplied with arms of preolsion. The returns of the State muster.rolls of the Russian force beforo Plevas, furnish a ghastly commentary, On account of tha fighting on tho 11th and 12th of this wonth the "Fourth Army Corps, commanded by Geu. Zotoff, has sufferad so severely that ita bat- talions, which should number 1,000 bayonets each, aro now reduced to o strongth of only 800 men. ' The losses among the troops with which Gen. Skobelofl captarsd the re- doubts unear the Sofia road ou the 11th, and. endeavorod to retain them, on the 12th, amounted in these two days to SIXTY PER OENT OF THE TOTAL FORCE. One correspondent estimstes, althongh it is dificult to sscertsin the precise num- bers, that the whole Russian ermy, which stood on parade 80,000 strong when it was reviewed by Prince Charles on the day before the bombardment commenced, pow numbers under 56,000, The soldiers slain on the 11th;end 12th still lie unburied between (ho Russiau lines and tho Tarkish intrenchments, as the Ottoman General has declined to grant an armistice to Lury the dead. In taking this courae, bo is within his rights, especially if it is belioved that the missma from pntrefying corpses may breed pestilence in tho ranks of hia be- slegers, but the refusal of o suspension of hostilities for such a purposo fa unusual in modorn way, TIE TONRISN ARTILLERY scarcely roplies to the 320 gans which are continually firing upon the works, and it is snid its nmmunition s failing. It is not im- probable that this may be the case, for three or four brigndes of Russian cavalry aro prowling upon the Sofia road, and must provent .the arrival of .nuy convoys with fresh enpplica. The drain npon the Ottoman magazines siace the com- mencement of the bombardment muat have been enormous, and a fortnight has elapsed sinco they oould boe roplenished. No one, except the commanders within Plovna, can say how many rounds of shell or what num. ber of cartridges Osman Pasha still holds at his disposal, FRANCE. MACMAJON'S MANIFESTO. [Ry Cable to The Chicago Tridune.] Tovpon Orrice o Tnr Cutoaco TRIBUXE, 6 Pararave Praos, 8tnaxp, Sept. 21—4 o n,—The effect of Biarshal MacMahon's ad- dress to the Fronch people bas beon the roverso of what ita anthors intended. It is true thatas yot we only know what Paris thinks of the manifesto, and, since tho establishment of universal suffrage, Paris hos censed to mean Franco, but, in Paris, ot any rate, and probably in France, tho menaces which tho Marshal Liaa been in. duced to hold over the heads of the peaple have completely falled to cither cow the Left Contre, or drive tho extreme Loft into imprudence. THE ARMIES. TIIE SITUATION AT PLEVNA, LoxDoN, Bept. 21.—A correspondent at Gorny- Btuden telegraphs that ho has personally in- spected the position before Plevns, which he describes as follows: Tho Russo-Roumanlan army occuples a line extending from Gravitza to Tatchinitza. At Qravitza the Roumanlans Lave advanced by sap to within 250 yards of the sccond redoubt, which will probably fall ina few days. Further to the left from Gravitza stands KRUDEKER'S CORPs, which has been relnforced slnce the battle by parts of two divisions from Russla. Next stinds Zotof's corps, fearfully roduced in numbers, battallons being . brought down to 300 men. On the extreme lett, near Tatchinitza, is Imcrotinsky's detachment, namely, the Sccond Division of the Fourth Rifle Drigade, the latter dinin. fshed from four to twa weak battallons. Iere are also the remnins of Skohelof's detachment, The splrit aud teraper of the Russian soldicrs aro admirable. - The Russinna have “UPwaAnDps or 820 GUNS, and ara conatantly firing on the Turkish works, which scarcely ever roply, It fs sald that the ammunition of the Turks is folltng, but there are no means of verifying this, They walk about thelr redoubts nost unconcernedly. - Tho Ruealans are - strongly lotrenchied wil aloug thelr front with ahelter-trenches,~- rifle plts and redoubts. Trwelve to aixteen regie ments of Ruesian and Roumanlan cavalry are hovering about Solla road to impede, it they do not wholly stop, communication, The Turks are ealeulnted by competent judges at from 60,000 to 80,000 strong, with Anout 140 auxs, none of which arc apparcutly heavy. ‘The capture of Plovua is an aflair of time and trenchwork. When the relnforcements that are coming up arrive, it ought to fall eastiy. The Turks have refused Gen. Zotoff leave to bury Lis dead, which Lo within 800 yards of tho Rus- elan position, and must breed disease. A dispatch from Bucharest says, from 8 num- ber of ofticers arriving bere from Ulevna on o shiot furlough. it would appear that the Itusalans do not contemplate any fiuportant proceedings thers during the next week or ten days. T'ho corryspondent who was present at and reported the battlo of Plovna, telezraphing from Bucharest under dato of the 17th luat., takes the most despuiring view of tho Russian prospects, e says TR RUASIANS WRRE DEPINITELY TIWARTED and finally paralyzed on the 11tly when they lost 20,000 men. The Russlan medical staf® is over- whelmed, and greal numbers of wounded ara Nterally roitiug uud festering, belng uncared for. As for the Rownsuian army, its sur- gical amangemouts are madequate. The surgeons mako vo concealment of the fact that wwounded maw's timo for being looked at comes on an averags two days after Lo has been struck. ' ‘The correspondent doulits whether on attack ou Plevna can suc ceed, even after the arrival of the Guard. In splite of strong Russtan symvatbies, he considers that the Turks surpass the Hussians, both as private soldlers and us Uenerals. BCHINKA, A Bucharest carrcepondent telegraphing Thursday says: It is confussed that the Kusslan positiou fn Schipku Pass Is precarious, buth be- cause of the force threatening it and of the Im- pending trouble to the communieationg, It is catimated at the Russisn headquarters that the Turks lost 2,000men (n the late attempt to capture Fort 8t.

OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE, lritixh Apmy and Sacy Gastie, At the closa of the Franco-Gerinan war the success of the. oifensive had been £o constant that nearly all military writers were converted into a bellef in the attsck,and nothing but theat- tock, Von Bcherlfl wrotc: ** And yet with us e time of the doubters has unot long passed away.

We further find that in thesc battles the vie- tory was not alned by frontal attacks (these often falling, and nt best only succeeding fn pusbivg back the enemy somewhat ot o great eacrifice), Wit by means ot wide turning movernents; while in the defensive battles the flanks could not be turned, as at Paria acd Metz, or were not turned, as at Viller-Sexel. ‘Tho great lesson gained from 1870-'71 was not, therefore, that the offensive per se was superior to the defen- sive, but that where an urm, 18 well onrantzad nnd thorouchly moblle the initiative enables it 1o decide the day by wide flanklug movements, provided that it las suflicient superiority to hold tho enemy along his front while exccuiing the maneuvre. [u the %rc!em war the want ot this superiority and mobflity has reduced the Rusaians to the deadly frontal attack, and, as a natural conscquence, we find thelr armics suf- ferinz heavy losacs and disastrous Inllures. 1t remalns to be secn whether the reinforceinents now arriving will enuble them to resune the offensive with a better chance of success. = PLEVNA. TR PIGAT OF AUG. 81—A TURRISI ASSAULT. torresponitence Londun News. PonepiN, Aug. 3l.—About 8 o'clock my car caught a dull, scarcely audible thwnplug, that sounded more like a horse stumping at flies than the booming of artillery. Artillery 1t proved to be, neverteless, for lu a fow moments 1t grew Jouder and clearcr; und looking toward the lingof low Dills in the directlon of Plevna, some four milcs distant, we caw soveral columns of white smoke rising beling them, showing where tho artillery was already bard at work, I had not been at my now standpoint more than five minutes, when the crest of the hill, a mile in front, suddenly grew black aswithaline of fuk drawn along the sky.

The uttack continued on the middle or largest rednubt, but finding it Inaccessbie on account of the Turkish troops having cut thetrees down, and surrounded 1t with cherauz de srizv, the Russion troups were foreed to move round it and attack No. 3 Bat- tery, which was eventually taken at the point ot the bayonet.
