THE WAR. Retirement of the Russians to Their [o- trenchments Before Plevna. ATTEMPT =f OUTPLANK = MOUKHPAR, Repulse of the Muscovites With Heavy Loss SERVIA JOINS IN RUSSIA'S WAR. Marquis of Salisbury’s Pacific Advice. (BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Lonpow, Oct. 12, 1877. The latest advices from the Grand Duke Nicholas’ headquarters report that the Kus- sions have retired to their old positions be- fore Plevna, PLEVNA REALLY PROVISIONED, The Turkish War Office confirms the re- Port of the junction of Chafvet Pacha with Osman Pacha and the entry of reinforce- ments and supplies into Plevna, OUTFLANKING MOUKHTAR, A battle was fought on Tuesday tast (October 9) Near Aladja-Dagh, an important height, quite near to Kars, Armenia. A telegram from a correspon- dent in Kars, dated Wednesday, says that the losses Were heavy on both sides. Movements were dis- cernible trom Kars on the morning of Wednesday which seemed to indicate a renewal of the fighting, but the Daily News' correspondent, telegraphing on Wednesday from the Russian camp, said the Russians had retired to the positions occupied be- fore Tuesday's battle. CAUSE OF THE BATTLE. Moukhtar Pacha’s official despatch to Constan- tinople explains that the battle fought on Tuesday, near Aladja-Dagh, was caused by an attempt by the Russians to surprise a corps of observation which he had posted at Hozkan to cover the concentra. tion of his forces at Aladja-Dagh, Moukhtar claims that he repulsed the Russians with the loss of 1,200 men, SERVIA AS RUSSIA'S ALLY, A HERALD correspondent telegraphs from Bel- Grade that Servia’s participation in the war ts in- tvitable. She has gone too far now to withdraw. Encouraged by the success which has been secured by the Montenegrms the Servian Ministry have literaily forced the principality into war. RUSSIA'S AID TO SERVIA. A special despatch trom Belgrade to the Vienna Political Correspondence says Russia has under- taken to pay Servia a million roubles monthly from the time the Servian army is sent to the frontier. THE IRREVOCABLE STEP, A Belgrade special despatcn of yesterday's date Says:—The Servian Cabinet has unanimously and definitely agreed upon terms of agreement with Russia.” This probably refers to the agreement concerning the subsidy of a million roubles to be Paid to Servia monthly from the time her army 13 Sent to the frontier, as stated in the Politicad Cor. respondence’s Belgrade special. HARDLY READY YET, According to the ‘most trustworthy intelligence the clothing, provisions and transport of the Servinn army are till very defective. It is not thought likely that Tur- key will, as reported, addréss an ultimatum to Servia, as every day during which the Porte can avoid bringing a fresh enemy into the fleld is a clear gain to Turkey, and the Powers, whom Turkey intends to consult by means of a tircular, will certainly advise moderation. ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT FACT, M. Oristics, the Servian agent at Constantino- ple, is expected to return home shortly. RUSSIAN LOSSES BY SICKNESS, The Standard's Nicopolis special correspondent Jays he has trustworthy information that cold, rain and lack of winter clothing are causing great mor- tality in the Russo-Roumanien army. The number bf deaths within the last twenty days are:—O1 the army before Plevna, 5,000; of the Czarewitch’s army, 1,700; in the Dobrudscha, 3,000, and at Tirnova and Shipka, 2,000, 700 HIGH AN ESTIMATE, The Standard's Frankfort correspondent says he can state on the highest authority that the Rus- sians in Bulgaria, inciuding reinforcements, num- ber only 230,000 combatants. Troops are contunu- ally marching to the frontier, ready for any otfen- sive movement on the part of the Turks. MARQUIS OF SALISBURY ON THE WAR, The Marquis of Salisbury in a speech at Bradford last night said the war was not likely to be aban- doned until one of the belligerents was strikingly defeated or utterly exhausted. England, he said, ‘Was not at present in @ position, without departing from, her neutrality, to offer anything but mere general pacific advice. CONFIRMATION OF A MONITOR’S Loss, A Russian oMicial despatch claims that on the 9th Inst. a Turkish monitor struck a torpedo near Sulina and blew up. FEARS OF A HUNGARIAN INVASION. The oMicial newspaper at Bucharest, the Romanut, Btates that a large number of Hungarians have en- tered Little Wallachia. The Roumaman General has taken precautionary measures, LOST [8 ALL THEIR GREATNESS, Mehemet Ail and Achmet Fyoub Pacha have arrived at Constantinople to attend a council of war, ABANDONING THAT RAID, A Russian offictal despatch received at St. Peters- burg says the Turks destroyed their bridge at Siistria. RUSSIAN FINANCES, The 7imes in its financial column says: At St. Petersburg the rate of exchange ta 23d., which {s the lowest rate since the Crimean war. Tuere seems to Lave been a kind of panlet St, Petersburg yes- jerday, due to the great depreciation of paper cur- tency, which deprectation threatens temporarily to mgulf the nation in universal bankruptcy."

Intense Anxiety over the Coming Elections. BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT Another Manifesto from MacMahon and a Sharp Reply. {Bx cazBiz To THE BEBALD.) LONDON, Oct. 12, 1877, _ANl interest centres just now in the French elec- tions. Ali the papers here discust the subject, and 218 the princtpa: topic of conversation tn all public Places of resort, The moderation, periect disctp- iine and self-control which the republicans have shown in this trying crisis have turned the tide of Engtish opinion entirely in their favor, and even the most conservative journals express themselves strongly in their favor, It 1s telt that the very ex- istence of Parliamentary government ‘s threatened 1m France by the action of the combined monarch- ical parties; and this accounts for the strange tact that monarchica! England sympathizes, aimost for the dirst time in history, with republican France. THE FATE OF FRANCE TO BE DECIDED. There 1s also a fear that an anti-republican tri- ‘umph at the polls would enaanger the peace of Europe by giving power to the clerical party, wno @re velieved to harbor designs against Italy, with a view to the restoration of the Pope's temporal Power. Then there is a strong apprehension that strong repressive measures would be adopted against the republicans which would inevitably | Provoke resistance and lead to a sanguinary civiy war, TREMBLING IN THE BALANCE. In France all ts outwardly quiet, but the feelings of all parties are worked up to the highest pitch. Never before was France so outwardly calm ander deep excitement. This fact 1s considered so re- markable a3 to promise a new era in that land of revolutions, aud many men who know France weil are sanguine that a republican triumph in the coming elections will sound the death knell of coups d'état and appeais to the barricades; but the time ts 80 critical and so irangit with danger that no one can predict the result, ARE THE MONARCHISTS UNITED? Next Sunday will be the eventtulday. The re- sult o1 the elections, no matter how they end, must decide the fate of France for many years. Both sides express confidence of victory, but there is nevertheless 4 marked difference in the attituue of the contending parties, There are unmistakable symptoms of internal disunion among the contend- ing monarchical tactions which have temporarily couiesced for the overthrow of the Republic, and some of the legitimist journals have recently uttered omtous complaints and threats against the Bonapartists, whom they accuse of working for their own party alone against the terms of the compact. i REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY. The republicans, on the other hand, show tae most wonderful unanimity, and express the utmost confidence in the result. Gambetta reiterates the opinion that the elections will give the republicans 400 votes in the Chamber, and claims to be in possession of information that leaves no room for doubt. The ministerial journals claim to be equally In the best in- formed circles here the belief in a republican triumph is very general. MACMAHON ISSUES ANOTHER MANIFESTO. A second manifesto has been issued by President MacMahon. Init he denies that the republican constitution 1s in danger or the government under clerical influence or inclined to a policy which might endanger peace, and appeals to the electors not to plunge the country into an unknown future of crises and conflicts by returning opposition can- didates, HE ANSWERS FOR ORDER AND PEACE, The manifesto lays great stress on the fact that duty forbids the Marshal to forsake his post, and concludes as follows:—“I answer for order and peace,” A SHARP REPLY, ‘The bureaux of the Senatorial Left have issued a counter manifesto, asking the people to disbelieve those who declare republican institutions not in peril and that the government do not obey clerical influences, The counter manifesto declares that the official candidates are enemies of the Republic THE CASE OP MR. BEDEL. The Paris Bien Public says:—“Hon, Edward F. Noyes, United States Minister, had an interview witk the Duke Decazes yesterday reiative to the case of Mr. Bedel, the American, who claims that he was expelled from France without any assigned reason.
