This probably furnished the concoctors of tele- graphic news with the ides of the armistice. The following fom the London Times gives the particu- Jars of — TIE REPORTED ARMISTICE BETWSEN TURKEY AND RUSSIA. From the London Times, Nov. 1.} nee of the armistice between the Turkish aad Russian forces has been substantially confirmed, and the event appears to be precisely of that character which we yester tay delineated. Tue interval assigned by Vmar Fashs for the cracustion of the Daaubian principalities ‘was to expire on the 24'h git. vut, although the reply of Prince Cortech vot to the Ottoman summons had been Sonridered at Cons'antinople as equivalent tos refusal, the Porte bad conented, at the request of the Ambassa- Gora of the four Piwers, to prolong the term of preliminary until this day, the let of Nowmler. We have reason to lieve, as we beture stated, that this movement of the European representatives was not mace without weil grounded expect tions of a beneficial result, ani, as the Sssent of the Porte to the propost ion bexpeaks in’ itself a desire to avoic extremities, we have good ground for con fidence that this last effort in the cause of peace will prove successful. ‘These steps, however, were taken before the collision between the contending armies had occurred, and it is not impossible that so untoward an affair may exercise its influence on the course of events. Nevertheless, we continue to be of opinion that such a result is unlikely; for the encounter, it is plain, was no premeditated signal of hostilities, and, in so far as it produced any effcet, it Sppears to have been unfavorable to that party which is Teast likely to be exasperated by the circumstance. The acene of the affray wan not exactly the scene of the ex- | ted war The hostile armies of the Russians and the | are stationed in the provinces of Wallachia and Bulgaria respectively, with the waters of the Danube be. tween them. Further down the stream—that is | to say. from the point of confluence of the Pruth—the left bank of the Danube besomes Roseian territory, the opposite bank being form ed by the northernmest angle of Bulgaria. It was at ‘this of the river that the engapement occurred. A Russian flotilla, cor sisting of two steamers with gun boats fn tow, was proceeding to a-cend the stream, when it was fred upon from the fo't of Isakchi, on the Turkish bank. | fhe object of the Russians was, doubtless, to establish a | munication between the Black Sea and their own army cocupation in Wallachia, but either they approached too closely to the Ottoman guns, or the Turks had resolved to uppose the expedition. It will be clearly discerned, | ovever, that though the Russians were indeed ‘forcing ‘® passage’ up the river, and were attacked in the at tempt, the operation in no degree rasembles a movement Of the Russian troops across the river against the Turk. | iru forees. A movemett of this de-isive kind, if made at all, will be made ir. all probability from the opposite bark ani by the opporite army. The Russians are not likely to cross | the Danube themselves, for the Czar is notoriously anx Lous to avoit offensive war, indispoved to any further in varion of Ottoman territury, and possessed already of @omewiat larger guarantee-'' of this description than be finds convenient. They would incur, moreover, all the dangers of the passage, and would afterwards ea BE the Turks in positions proverbially farorable to foman tactics. The very mention of these conditions shoes what the Turks would love by reversing them to | their own prejudice. They would forfeit the resources | @f entrenched camps and well provisioned stations, ‘and would advance, with a very deficient cavalry @nd scarcely any military equipage, to encounter on level | ine ® powerful army, extremely well furnished with th. Fortunately, ho the opus of moving hes pen the Turks, and this is the only direction in which a | Bsorement would br efficacious. The views of the Rus- sins are fully satisfied by inaction, and if the Turke ebould resolve to attack. they are comp: led b: cireum. tances to act at a serious disadvantags. It is alleged that they have already availed themselves of some of those islands which the Daoube contains fe effect a partial | passage of their troops at the two points of Braila and Wid- , Forming the opposite extremities of Wallachia, and that Mey are thus estat shee! within easy reach of the bank in the oc- cupation of the Russians. The report itself is intrinsically probable but it can hardly be doubted tl campaign @ommenced under these conditions must prove ultimately Giradvantageou to the advancing army. ‘No arguments of ours can now be necessary to demon atrate that the Ottomans are more likely to obtain what they claim by the intervention of European mediators than by rushing Leaclong across the Danube to excounter ‘Le colampa of Prince Gortechakofl. It is possible that they might drive the Russians out of the Principalities; but it is ip the highest degree unlikely that Czar would suffer such ar expulsion without an effort hereafter to regain his pesition; and certainly not prebable that the Terkish arm, with the Oanube in its rear, and the whole force of the Russian empire on its flank, would lo: be able to maintain itvelf. Whether the Rarsians co: tearch to Constantinople may be a quertion; but it is quite certain that they can always march to Jassy and Buchs ee: There is ro real advantage, in short, to be antici- pated from war. The Crar will assuredly not yield to the @ttacks of the Turks, though he may, perhaps, consent to everlook them. The Ottoman forces must almcat inevi- tably be discomfited; and, though the interference of may preserve the Turkish throne, it eannot rave the +h army, or procure betier terms for the Tarkish than will, as we confidently believe, be obtained ori recourse to hostilities at sll The Sultan was, undoubtedly, justified by the conduct of the Russians, and, perhaps, by his own ition, in ter. mminativg a sate of anomaluus peace by =f ne leclara- ton of war; por would it be eary to leave such s declara. don entirely unsupported by active measures in the field. But the war thus threatened was so certain to be inc pera tive for good tbat all the indepencent governments of endesvored to prevent it, and some agreed te sgnore its en istence altogether. It’ could not possibly, if @onfined to «engagements between the Turks and the Rus- siana, promote any settlement of the question at issue; tt must, inevitably, if extended to Earope at large, entai the extinction of this in fo, in the former case, the ultimate acjuxtment would have been merely pre- Judiced by the interven sion of hor tilities; in the latter, we ight have years of war, with resulta beyond reach of @onjecture. We trust and believe, then, that this dey, instead of witnessing the commencement of a struggle ft !l cf perils, though without « chance of profit, will find Begotiations approaching to » succemfal close, and that © dispute as to the form of conditions on whieh all parties ere substantially agreed, will not be the meam of pluag- dng Europe inte ccnfurion ‘Toe Londo News says. — “In all probability, instead of any formal armistice, a Sew days more were, at the instance of the Sultan, allow @¢ Prince Gor'schak«f to receive orders from st.

Omer Pasha, being informed that the Ru sians had evacuated t, sent a patrol to that place, which en ccuntered a detachment of Don Cossacks, The two par- ties were equally seized with a panic, and each evacuated the place in great disorder ‘Turks, however, came back with fresh forces, and fortified an island in the vi- cinity of Widdin. The Russians are still concentrating their troops at Bucharest, | Avother Constantinople correspondent, under date of be 17th instant. says: ee = The Turkish fleet is divided into three divisions. They are respectively stationed at Batoum, Sisopolis, and in the Bosphorus. The banker, M. Baldazzi, had given a brilliant feast in celeration of the appointment of Mussa Safeti to the post of Minister of Finance. It is to be nnderstood, however, that M Bal¢azzi hopes to have a good deal to do with the negotiation of the new loan. This obviously leads to the conclusion “hat the Messrs. Dioux are out of VOR. 3 Bucnarest, October 18, 1853. It is said that Omar Pacha had informed Prince Gorts- chakoff of his intention to occupy the Sultan’s territories (the Principalities) at once. He has also, it ia said, Written to Stirbey, that he intents enterizg Bucharest oa the Ist of November. On the 11th Prince Gortschakoff held a council of war. It was resolved to evacuate the southern part of Walla- chia, evidently with a view to enticing the Turks away from their intrenchments. Itis thought that the Turks are waiting for the full moon to cross the Danube, and that they will cross in two columns, at Widin and Braila. The Russian merchants are doing an excellent brsiness in English cottons, of which large quantities are stored in the Principalities, They send them across the Pruth.

THE PASSAGE OF THE DANUBE BY THE TURKS. [Frou the Liverpool Times, Nov. 2.] We announced in our impression of yesterday that part cf the Turkiso army, numbering twenty-six thousand men, had crossed the Danube at Kalefat; and that, sojfar ci sn armistice being likely to be concluded, positive hosvilities were the most probable result. The intelli- gence received from Vienna since last we wrote, is entirely confirmatory of that which has already been laid before our reacers, ard induces us to believe that by this time not only has the ‘‘tocsin of war’? been sounded, but that a bloody engagement has positively ensued. Last Friday, it appears, the Ottoman army made the | pasrage of the Danube, and the engagement of the hos tile forces was expected to take place on the following | day. No resistance whatever was offered on the part of the Russian troops—which sireumstance ir accounted for owing to the confidence Prince Gortschakofl is said to possess in his superior military skill, as well as regards his anticipation of the upshot of this terrible struggle. There are rumors of « special ambassador being ordered to the Porte. Considerable anxiety prevails in the metropolis in con- sequence of this fresh intelligence, for which the public mind had been altogether unprepared, as an armistice ‘was considered to have been concluded, in order to allow time for what was generaily believed would have proved s successful negotiation. TELEGRAPHIC FROM LONDON TO LIVERPOOL. Lonpoy, Nov. 2—A. M. The London Times, states in a leading article, that there is no reason to doubt that on the 27th ef October 3,000 Turkish infan‘ry snd 2,400 cavalry crossed the Danube and occupied Kalefat, and that a large number of troops were still passing over in barges when this news was despatched. The Russians were gathering on the point attacked, and it was expected that a collision would take place on the 28th. For the moment, here is an end to notes and ¢ciplomatic conference. Omer Pesha’s move ment appears the extremity of rashness; but he is proba- bly forced to leave in order to preserve the semblance of command, After the ferocity of the hostile nations has been satisfied by the sanguinary offering of a useless and cbyectless battle, it may perhaps be possible to reassert the claims of justice and humanity. Whatever may be the result of this contest it cannot alter the duty of the Western Pc wers in this emergency. Whether Omar Pacha be successful, or whether he be driven back, we are e;ually bound to maintain the rights of Turkey. Let the war gc as it will, England and France can never permit Russia to reap the fruits of her dupli- city and violence. It will not ¢ischarge France and our relves from the duty of preventing these fine couctries from falling under the heavy yoke and grasping ambition of the Cear. Victors or vanquished, the Turks have still the same right and claim on the Western Powers; and ‘the Times does not doubt that the same language will be held by them whether the first operation of tho war shall terminate in victory or defeat to our allies. Tho article concludes as follows:—‘We s'ncerely trust that the efforts which will no doubt be employed to light from this conflagration the flame of civil discord throughout Europe may fail of success, and that diplo- macy may extinguish the fire before it be the means of setting the Continent in a blaze. At any rate, we shall have the satisfaction of thinkiog that no efforts on our part have been wanting to stem the tide of hostile pas- sions, and that if we are forced at last to enter the conflict ourselves, it will only be after having wed every eonceivable means to avert it.’ The other morning papers contain s despatch from Shumla, received In Paria, stating that twenty thousand Turks crossed the Danube on the 28th of October, near Widden, aad occupied Kalefat, which had been evacu- ated by the Russians No escounter took place.

The Times govs so far | ts to aarert that the Czar does not consider himself as .t war with Turkey If thie statement be authorized, it deuaye the pretext ou which Russia will strive to throw the responnibility of ho. ilities on the Turka. ‘As nearly as we can gather from the opposite state wonts of thos.

We have nothing by this arrival of the slightest politi es}importance. From the omission of the words, “to meet for despatch of business,” in proroguing Par Hiawent, it is supposed a further prorogation will take place, providing the Turkish affafr does not become too | serious in the isterim. The discontent prevailing among the colliera and opera- tives at present on the strike in Lancashire had brok out in desperate riot at Wigan. On the evening of Fri day, 28th, a meeting of the representatives of the em- ployers was held at the Royal Hotel, Wigan, when it was revolved tbat tke operatives should have the offer to return to their work, within a fort- night, at their former scale of wages, and if this were not acceced to, the mines would be closed permanently, until the men were starved into submission. On this be- coming known to the miners, they procteded to smash the windows of the hotel and to “mob” the employers, and at lergth proceeded to acta of greater violence. The police, about a dozen in number, were totally inefficient against the crowd a thousand strong, There was an extra pelice force in the shape of fifty ¢ mstablesPxpecially en- rolled, but on the first appearance of danger these worthles turned and fled. This encouraged the rioters toact pretty much as they pleased, and their pleasure was to pillage the stores and to set fire to the dwellings of their employers. ‘Tne Royal Hotel was first sacked and set on fire, and the drinks found at the bar and in the cellars were distributed among the crowd. Next the mob rusued along tie various streets, extin- guishing the lamps and +mashing the #indows ia which were lights, [be polize station, the Victoria Hotel, and the Clarence Hotel, were then attacked, and more or less damaged. Mr. Taylor's mansion. of the firm of Taylor & Brothers, cotton spinners, was besieged front and rear.and left such a wreck that next day the doors and windows boarded up. At this jancture @ ery of “the so diers are coming,” bad the eifect of causing the rioters to run, but finding it a false alarm they proceeded to the houre and factory of Mr. Jobnson, cotton spinner, Pich they speedily gutted. Mr. Johnson and hls family Tortunately evcaped ‘by the year while the ruffans were entering the house from the street. Furniture to the value of £500 was torn to pieces in his house ina few minutes. The rioters having taken the fire from the grates, built it on the drawing room floor, and piled on it pictures, curtains, books, and the remains of pianos and of ‘an organ they had smashed. The mirrors they threw out of windows; cut up all the chairs and sofas, and beat the heavier furniture to pieces. Having thus slaked thelr ferocity, they proceeded to satisfy their hunger by plun- dering the provision stores, and were laboring heartily in this vocation, when one hundred and fifty soldiers marched into the place, and the valiant rioters dis- reed like mist.

THE SHOOTING OF GEN. NEUILLY—PABTICULARS OF THE AFFRAY WITH M. DE LAPORTE—EXTRAORDI- NARY SCENE. The Gazette des Trilunauz publishes the following de- tail: of the melancholy affair at Chalons a notice of which was received by telegraph from Helifax : It appears that General Count de Neuilly.in consequence of anonymous communications made to him, conceived uxpicions respecting the conduct of his wife, but foe communiontions did mot designate any person ; the} merely spoke of an officer of th inon who often visit- ed at bis bis house, The General made observations, and he soon ived that M. de Laporte, captein of the staf of the third division, commanded by General Perrot, was the person referred to. Butetill he was not abso: lutely certain. and before making an exposure he wished to obtain positive proof. Captain de Laporte, who ba obtained leave of absence, was to quit Chalons on Saturday evening. TheGeneral had a numerous party that evening, and M. de La,orte was present at it. The General care ully obverved the conduct of hia wife andthat of the captain, and he saw signs of intel- ligence between them which left him no doubt. ‘At eleven o'clock the company retired. Captain de Lapcrt» toob leave of the General, and announced that he meant immediately to leave Chalons for Vitry, where hisservant had already gone. The General afterwards withdrew to bis chan. ber and the countess to hers. The apartment of the General is separated by several rooms from that of the countess, and the latter's bed room opens on a garden. The General went into the garden armed with a musket; and, after waiting a short ti the deor was opened, and the noise of footeteps heard proceeding to the chamber of the countess. secreted himself behini some trees, but his movement was perceived by the person who had entered as he stopped and retraced his at ‘At that moment the Genera] fired his gun, but larkness prevented him from taking a correct aim, and he missed his object. He then went into the chamber of the countess, and had long explanation with her, after which he retired to his own room. The next morning, be’ore 7 o'clock, the Gen eral went with a caneinhbishand to M. de Laporte’s resi- dence; M. de Laporte wa: alene at the time. What then took place M de Laporte can alone state. Buta few minutes only bad passed away when double detonation was heard, and General de Neuilly was seen to leave the house, pale, staggering. and covered with blood. He made about fifty ateps in the street, and at the moment at which a woman approached to assist bim, he fell down, saying. “It is Captain de Laporte who bas assassinated me.’ He then made a violent effort to pronounce some more words, but expired. Two wounds were found on him—one was in the left shoulder, the other near the heart. M. de La- porte, who bere the mark of a violent blow on the face, was arrested. He declared that at the moment at which the General en‘ered the apartment, he said, “You know, captain, what brings me here.” “I, know it, General, and piace myself at your orders” No sooner had M. de Taporte spoken, than the General, raising his cane, struck him violently on the head. He thereupon seized his pistois, and fired once: but the General advancing towards him, again raised bis cane; whereupon he dis- charged his second pistol. Colonel Lheureux, Chief of the Staff of the Division, immediately came to Paris to give sn account of the affair to the Minister of War. An in- vestigation has been ordered, and itis to be carried on by the court martial. Italy. ‘The King of Sardinia has just taken aastep which is already exciting attention throughout Italy.

From Vienna we have rumors of contemplated risings at Milan and elesewhere in misgoverned Italy. As these reports are Austrian in their origin, and are evidently intended to do mischief, we refrais from transcribing the vague statements that are made in the Austrian papers.

Almost the entire valley of Ezypt is ene sheet of water, and travellers proceed to the py:a- mids in beats, an excursion which in orcinsry times oc- cupies a three hours ride from Ghizeh, the nearest point on the river. The damage done to the crops by this excess of water is very great, aud very extensive tracts of land fown with Indien corp are covered with from three to five feet o/ water, and the plants are consequently destroyed. The villages and towns are reducee to isdands, ond are oa! saved by the inhabitants raising embankments all roand, which they watch day and night with the greatest anx fety. The Fellahs will reverely reel the loss of their crops of Indian corn, as it forms their priacipal article of food during the winter; 0 that, owing to this deficiency and thedemands for grain from Turkey, the Viceroy is uot acting unwisely in limiting the exportation of corn.

In the afternoon the imperialist squadron weighed and stood towards the upper end of the harbor, with the object, it appeared, of de troying the western suburbs of the town, well defended, however, by two batteries belonging to the patriots, A great many of the shot from the Canton junks on this occasion, as well as on the 26th, appeared Girec'ed at and over the houses, breaking great many tiles, and frightening people from the roofs, where, at the commencement, the inhabitants had placed themselves to witness the fight. The firing ceased about 6P. M., the Mandarins retiring to their anchorage. The patriot junks did not weigh. On the 20th, early in the morning, the imperialists effected a coup de main, capturing, it is said, a body of four hundred of the patri- ots, the best part’ of whom were beheaded instanter. Having frightened the main body of their opponents into a retreat on the town, the imperialists then betook them selves to the business of destroying tne villages where the enemy had resided, killing every man and male child to be found, cutting off the breasts of women who had given nourishment to the detested brood, with other sanguinary and brutal deeds. Part of the’ imperialist fleet also woighed at high water, and, with boats, proceeded up the cretk running balf way across the island from the west end of the town, some of the crews landing and capturing thore whom they could catch in their retreat, All this was effected before breakfast, to which the imperialists were said to be going, when the rebels gave pur suit, and captured thirty-three of them, who speedi ly met the tame fate which had been meted to the patriots —their heada being exposes as trophies in the streets of the city. Although said to have been defeated early in the day, towards evening the patriot troops were reen entering thecity, many of them laden with what had been left in the cestroyed villages; the inhabitant of those villages which had not been molested by the impe- rialists, also proceeding to the city with their goods, to take up quarters with the insurgents, ia whom they evi- dently entertaired more contidence than they did in their legitimate protectors, On the 30th the imperialist flvet weighed early, and proceeded towards the eastern suburbs, which they also ineffectually attempted to destroy; de- sisting at the hour of nine A. M. On the Slst of August tha armies arrayed themselves against each other about two miles from the town; in the evening the imperialists marched off to their “Chobham ’’—the rebels to their “tower.” The imperialist navy effected on this day a good deal of damage, among the northern and western suburbs. On the Ist inst. all was quiet, the imperialists remaining in camp.
