Lonpos, Friday, Jan 18, 1864. Confermation of the Entrance of the Combined Fleet into the Black Seam Victory of the Turks over the Russians near Ka- lefat, bc. The intelligence which I sent to ycu in my letter of Tuesday last, that the combined fiset had entered the Black Sea, is fally confirmed. The movement of the com bined fleet commenced on the 30th December. On that day four French and four English men-of war weighed anchor at Beicos, and, entering the Kuxine, cast anchor at both sides of the Cyanean rocks, on the southwest coast of the Black Sea, between the Bosphorus and Varna. The remainder of ths fiset, with the exception of those vessels that will remain stationed near Constantinople, followed on the ,24 inst. They were accompanied by s portion of the Turkish squadron. This great though tardy fact is the absorbing topis of theday. The reply of the Emperor of Russia to the last, (it is to be hoped the very last appearance of the famous ultimatum, as the Playbills say of a renowned actor,) has mot yet been re- ceived. Of course the answer will be in laarn, meantime, by telegraph from (Massa, thet all Ras sian men-of war are to assemble at Sebastopol. England and France are doing the part of policemen on the Black Bea. The sine qua non, however, is to be the evacuation of the Principalitles. Omer Pacha is, meantime, reported, on authority the very best, to have crossed the Danube near Widdin, and to have attacked the entrenchments of Rassians, which he took by storm, killing some three thousand Russians. Great joy prevailed at Constantino ple on the receipt of this news. ,You will find telegraphic despatehes in the second editions of the Loadon papers Of this day, from different sources, yet all agreeing as to the fact that a great victory has been gained by the Tarks. At the same time we learn that the Sultan has issued orders for hostilities to be carried on in Europe ~ad io Asia with renewed vigor. It is stated that the ce purpose landieg on the Crimes.

It is difficult to arrive at anything like the trath from the contradictory statements that follow eack other from the Esst, Disregarding the positive announcement that on the morning ef the 29th December orders reached the fleet to weigh anchor instantly for the Black Ses, and that ere sunset only one vessel of each fleet was left in the Besphorus, we tura to other accounts which appear more relisble. On December 29 or 30 the ficet did re- ocive orders to exter the Euxine; but up to the Ist inst., (the date of the last direct letters,) they were still at an- chor in Beioos Bsy, owiog to contrary winds and strees of weather. The telegraph further informs us, from Con- stantinople 3d ult., that the combined equsdron enter. ed the Black Sea om that day, together with the firat ¢ivision of the Tarco-Egyptian fleet, leaving rix vessels at Beicos to guard the entrance of the Bosphorus, The second division of the Ottoman fleet is anchored at Therapia. It was known at Constantinople on 26th Dec that a Rassian squadron of three sail of the line and several frigates had deen cruising for s 1 days near the entrance of the Black S-a. On the 224 they were seen at @ distance o! three or four miles from the en- trance to the Bosphorus The Russian oommander-in- chief bas already recalled all Ruesian ships of war in the Bleck Sea to rendesvous at Ssbastopol. It was considered probable that Baltsbik, rorth of Varas, is the first place at which the allied fleet will touch. We have once more to report brilliant successes achieved by Omer Pacha on the Danube. For some days there had been flying rumors that the Tarks had stormed and captured Karakal, and had put to flight, with great Joss, the Russian division sent to its relief, As the com- taunication from the seat of war to the sommensement of the line of telegraph to Vienua is in the hands of the Russians, it was, of course, unlikely that any sonfirm- ation of the intelligence would reach us by that route. Direct aavices have since come to hand giving details of another victory as brilliant as that of Oltenitza. The news had again elated the spirits of the Tarks, and the Gisaster of Sinope is forgotten. Full information is yet wanting, but, sifting as oare- fally as we can the accounts that are published, it would sppear that on January 6th a Turkish division of 15,000 strong, with fifteen pieces of artillery, attacked the en- trenoned position of Citale, not far from Kalefat,and took it by storm. The Russians lost 2,500 men. The Ta-ks learnirg that a reinforcement of 18,000 Russians were on the mareh from Karaul, threw themselves in their way, and after a biief but sharp attack forced them to retrace their steps, leaving 250 dead on the field. ‘The above affairs took place on the 6th of January; but other and previous successes had been gained by the Turks under command of Omer. On January Ist the Minister of War officially intimated to the different am- Deseadors at Constantinople that important advantages had been geined by the Ottoman troops at Kalefat. For several days previous Omer had attacked in succession the different Russian corps, with varying success. At length the Turks intentionally fell back on their centre, and thus lured on the Russians as far os Kalefat, s position now formidably satrenche4, but which at » distance seemed to be abandoned. The Turkish batteries sud- the British and French Admirals eould be executed, the Russian government hai commanded ail its vessele of war to returm to Sebas‘opol, so that on one element, at least, the Emperor retires. It eserves observation, that although the Russian cruisers have been thus withdra en, the Emperor bas not a» yer manifested any intection of withdrawing the Imperial Envoys His po fey is still te avoid as long as possible # direst rapture with the mar\- time powers, and he may even consent to pame a pleni- potentisry to atiend the proposed cont ‘or the par. pore of holding his autegonists im euspel not of ter- minatirg the disputes In the mravtine the ans ver of the Porte to the proposals of the four powers snd to the collective note of the 6th of Dacember, bas reached Vi eons. This r contaire the terms on which, as we bave recently stated. the Sultan is ready to make ‘peace; those terms are entirely aopted by the four powers, mit them without delay to Ss, Peters: of the fonr powers is therefore un- wp, and they are sgreed between themselves and with Turkey on the terms to be offere’ to the Emp-ror Nicholas. Should he hi the infatuation to reject them, he will rej-ct what all Europe is pledged to main tain, ard ¢emand what all Earope i plstged to refuse. The regotiation has thus reached a more advanced «than any which has i. and the answer of the Onurt of St. Paersburg to this last appication must be final and poh The commumicatian now addressed to it is the ultimatum of the Porte and of its allies The doubts which must attend the farther progress of this work of pacification, depending as it now does en- tirely on the assent of Russia, are not lessened by the last incidents of the war. We attach little credit to the assertions confidently put forward by some e! the foreign papers that an action, in which the Turks defeated 16 000 Rursians, bad been ‘ought im Little Wallachia on the 19th of December, for hai that statement been cor- rect it must long ere this have beem confirmed. But we have now inteliigemce throug! rade, on which re Hance may be placed, to the effect that the Turks, on the Gthinst, with a division of 16,000 men, attacked the Rusmans in an entrenched position not far from Kelefst, it Conetiae ie Rassians baviog lost, acoording to this despatch 2,500 mee reinforce- ment of Russian troops, a¢ van Karaal alse repulsed with loss. tale, or |, where oir ooaurred, is a place overlooking the valley of the Danube; about six miles higher up the stream than Widdin Kalefat; and it i probable the Rassians hoped to turn the Tarhish position, and perhaps to cross the river at or above this point. To have thus assumed the offensi ‘kish commanders at Kalefat to dislodge the Rusians from a ition which gave them the commard the upper portion of the river, and was doubtless 1a- tended to play an important part in the operations cos templated against the lines of Kele‘at itself. The intel ligence of this emgagement comes th: h Servis, and reached the Servian authorities at Belg on the 10°. The most im it inte! however, which we have received from the East to-day, concerns our rele lations with Persia, A quarrel bad arisen betw-en the British Charge d’Affaires at Teberan end the Persien court, with reference to the affairs of ope Hadji Abdal Kerim, a native of Cardahar, protected by the British ernment. This , who ia ® man of creat wealth, demands upon the Persian government whieh it has been the duty of the Britiah legation to support. The Persian government, on the other hand, claimed him as its own subject, Hable to all such exactions as it might the Shab to put upon him, sod at length refused with so much insolence to ot the redress which the case required, that the British Charge d’Aifaires, Mr. Taylour Thompson, was compelied to susperd diplomatis relations with the ministers of the Sheh. The effect of this spirited messure was prompt and effectual. Within a very short time the Persian government showed ite readiness to comply with his dexands and to restore friendly relations with England, The tables were com. pletely turned on Prince Dolgoroubi. the Russian Mivister; and, although he threatened the Shah of Persia with the supreme displeasure of the Ozer, his master, and exerted every means to restore Kussisn influence, the British Charge d’Affaires remains, for the present, master of the field. Mr. Thompson appears to deserve great credit for his firm and judicious condact in this emergency, not confined with Persia. Difficalties bad as is well known, between that country two States were on the brink of id that Persian troops were preparing to march uncers Russian officer to attack the Turks io Armenia, Fortunately, the settlement of the dispute with England seemsto have included an arrangemeat with the Perte, for the Tarkieh Minister at Teheran has received positive assuraness from the Sudder Azim, or First Munister of the Shah, that no movements of hostile to the Ottoman empire will be made by Pe sia and that the forces concentrated in the northern ait hed of the kingdom are placed there rolely to watch the Lay 9 of events, andto prevent internal disturbances. us far, then, the Russian goveroment has failed in its be soad Persia, and in the pigeon to convert that ire the a source of annoyance to the British empire in India, or of additional danger to Turkey. A fresh Russian mission is said to be onits way to Teberan, afd it qill, no doubt. juire incessant noe to resist the effect of all the bribes amd intumidation at ite disposal; but, upon the whi the Persians seem to be aware that they have more to hope and to fear from England than from any Northern Power, and the moment would be well chosen to give greater importance to the British mission in that country, where the embassies sent in the early part of this century laid the foundation of » long and useful alliance. For the present, however, the joal- but the effests of his sucosss were te our ewn relations arisen, ‘ties which seemed to threaten us im that quarter are at an end. BERVIA. A despatch from Belgrade, December 28, states that two firmape were daily expected there from Constanti nople. By the first of these documents it {s said thet the Sultan annuls the relations hat exist between Servis to evjoy. Consequently all the conventions herstofore exist- ing between Servis and Russia are cancelled, and the Servians are invited to consider the Sultan as their only Suzerain, The second firman confirms of the privileges conceded to the Servian people. It was a poeed that the Porte had effected an understanding with Prince Alex ander, that if he maintains a suitable attitude ia the present war the inheritance of his title will be guaran- teed to him. PERSIA. ‘The Impartiale of Smyrna, December 23, repeats the statement, from Erzeroum, that the British Legation has resumed its relations with Persia. The Tarkish semi- official organ sleo says that there is resson to hope that frien¢ly relations bet ween Persia and Turkey will be main- tained, notwithstanding the intrigues of Russia and the 14 which is so profusely employed at Teheran. ‘The British ciepute with Persia arose with reference denly unmasked, causing great carnage among the Rus- sisns, while at the same time the O:toman reserve, which had crossed the Danube by night and were masked behizd @ wood, took them in flank and compelled them wo retreat with great loss. The inhabitants of Little Wallachia, who are day by day qanifesting themselves more ope=!y in favor of the Turks, contrioutet not alittle to the success of these macceuvres The Russian version of the state of affairs gives a later Uvually American ships command higher freights to Eogland than Exglish vessels, and you may well ask why ‘American ships cannot get half freight, as compared with British ships. Tne rolution is found in the acts of Col, Marshall, the Amerisan Commissioner, and Mr Cua ninghaw, the Consul, who have acknowledged the Tartar custom house at Shanghae, which is established in a tampan on the river, while the revels hold the city. No otker mation has acknowledged this floating sustom konse, #0 that ro fleg psys any export daty but the American, ani that is the reason why some of your fine clipper ships are lying idle, while any Eoglish ship is fill- ing up at high rates, After taking this damaging step for the Americana, Col. Marshall precipitately left Shanghae, and in fact the Chinese dominions, and is now residing at the Portuguese town of Macao, The letters published in the Hong Kong Register, signed O. P. Q., which I have heretofore seat you, will give you the key to the conduct of Colonel Marshal, and the Con sul. The Americans here are anxiously looking for Mar- shall’s successor, and it is high time he was here. What has become of Mr. Murphy, the new Consul for Shanghae? Te)l him he is wanted. Amoy has agsin fallen into the hands of the imperial forces, and a horrible butchery was made by the cowards of corquerors on a large mass of unarmed Coolies, Shanghae is still invested by the imperialists in large numbers, but the rebels make a gallant defence, and nothing but starvation or treachery will conquer the city. You must not confound the outbreaks at Amoy and Shanghae with the great movement now going on in the interior of the empire, and known as the Tae-ping-wang, or Christian party; those outbreaks were entirely local, and had their origin in the ‘ Triad”’ or small sword sool- ety, which has extensive ramifications in China, but no ecnnection with Tae ping wang and his movement. Words fail in giving an idea of the hcrrible atrocities perpetrat- ed by the cowardly wretches which compose the imperial army at Shanghae. The poor peasants are exposed daily to murder, rape, arson and robbery, and many a poor wretch has been butchered to secure his miserable clothing, whieh might not be worth halfa dollar, The Chinese area peaceable, industrious and orderly race, and more easily governed than any people on earth, bat out rages such as are now being perpetrated on them would make the most timid people in the world fight. And you Loe | rely upon it that the people are ripe for « change, and the government too rotten to resist it, The present movement under Tae-ping wang may be ripen (though I do not thiak t0,) but the d»wnfall pulaion of the Tartars may be considere’ as only a question of time. China is no longer to bea sealed book to the Western world, and the ¢ay is not dis\amt when the traveller will ioe seovrely and tafely to P-kin and to tae Great, Wall as he can now go to Agra or Bemares in British ‘The conduct ¢f the rebel force: is in broad contrast to the imperialsts: order and (scipline regned in their eampe; person and property are esfe wherever they ob- tajn power, and ary outrage on the people is pusished with instant death There is only one rewspaper in China, the Pekin @ascte, and it is published by the government. 1; colamns have teemed for months with fomiog accounts of defeats of the rebels, and of their sianghter by myriads; and one ag count gave a history of @ tremendous ‘ssaenlt on the 10 bel — at Nan-ch’-hang and at Hose king fo, and the entire ‘otion of whcle foros. Bat the last Gasetis, the bth of Ostoder, gives a very different of the events at those two places. It now appears th paai the siege of those placer was voluntarily raleed by date than the above, and rays, via Vienna :—“ Oa the 7th or 8th ult. & battle wae fought near Leta‘i, when the Turks fell back upon Kalefat, with loss of six guns.” It in suspicious that the date of a battle in which the ene- my Jost eix guns should not be known to the victors more definitely than the 7th or 8th alt. In view of the recent victories, it is rather inappropri ate to speculate what the Turks would do in case of de feat. The Russian organs, however, assert that if Gen.
