THE WAR. Renewal of Russian Activity Around Plevna. OSMAN'S © COMMUMICATIONS CUT OFF. —_-—— Suleiman Pacha Preparing to At- tack the Czarewitch. MOUKHTAR'S ARMY ROUTED. Surrender of Three Turkish Divisions with Thirty-two Guns. SEVEN PACHAS CAPTIVE. [Bx CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Lonpon, Oct. 18, 1877. All the indications seem to point to a renewal of Activity in the prosecution of the campaign in Bul- garla, and to a determination on the part of the Russians to achieve a decided success before the Winter sets in. A Turnu-Magurelli telegram, dated yesterday, received at Bucharest, states that the bombardment of Plevna nas recommenced along the whole line and that a decisive action is tmml- nent. OSMAN SAID TO BE CUT OFF. Russian advices report that large numbers of Turks are deserting trom Plevna. It is stated that Osman Pacha's communications with Sofia have been cut. SULEIMAN ABOUT TO TRY HIS LUCK, Suleiman Pacha is concentrating all his forces at KadikoL A telegram from Constantinople says Suleiman Pacha on Tuesday made a reconnoisance in person as tar as Tirstenik. A battle with the Czarewitch is momentarily expected. SNOW IN THE SHIPKA PASS, ‘The snow in the Shipka Pass is one metre deep, and operations there are impossible. MOUKHTAR PACHA'S DISASTER. According to Russian oficial bulletins, not only Was Moukhtar Pacha decisively defeated on Monday, but the Turkish army was utterly destroyed ax a fighting integer. As made out from these de- Spatches the following was the position of the forces and the course of the ac- tion:—The Russians occupied the positions—as described in a despatch of the 15th inst.—on the Yagni Hills, Sarbatan and Kizil-lepe, except ‘that the Turks retained Little Yagni, which is south- east of Great Yagni. On the 14th inst., therefore, the Turkish left rested on Little Yagni, the centre on Awilis (or Olya) Tepe, and the right on Aladja- Dagh, where three divisions were strongly forti- fled. THE TURKISH POSITION. Olya-Tepe is a spur of hill midway between Yagni and Aladja, about fifteen miles east by south from Kars, Besides these positions the Turks occupied Several strong places, such a8 Orlok and Vezinkol, in the rear of their line, for the protection of their army and Kars from a flank attack. MOUKHTAR’S RIGHT TURNED. On Sunday, the Russian lefthaving been extended to the banks of the Arpachal, beyond Ani, a division under General Lazareff moved south of Aladja-Dagh, drove the Turks from .Orlok upon Vezinkoi and Kars and occupied Orlok, thus com- pletely turning Moukhtar’s right. OLYA-TEPE CARRIED BY ASSAULT. On the morning of Monday, the 15th, a heavy cannonade was directed against Olya-Tepe, which ‘was the key to the Turkish positions. In the after- noon General Heymann, with about ten thousand infantry, carried Olya-Tepe by assault, cutting the Turkish army in two. DRIVEN INTO KARS, ‘The centre and left wing, under Moukhtar himself, retreated upon Kars, pursued by General Heymann, and harassed in the flank by General Lazareif, but succeeded in gaining the cover of the fortifications of Kars after a fearful rout, during which he lost a great number in killed and wounded, several thou. sand prisoners and four guns. SURRENDER OF THREE OTTOMAN DIVISIONS. * The three divisions constituting the Turkish right had meantime been surrounded and attacked and riven from their fortified camp with great loss, Finally, at eight o'clock on Monday night, the rem- nant of this portion of Moukhtar’s army surren- dered with thirty-two guns and a great quantity of material. Among the persons captured are seven pachas, Moukhtar Pacha isin Kars. The Russian losses are stated to be relatively slight, © MOUKUTAR’S VERSION OF THE AFFAIR, An oficial despatch received in Constantinople from Moukhtar Pacha, dated Kars, Monday, October 15, says:—“Onr centre, after being exposed for four hours to an overwhelming cannonade and in- cessant assaults, was compelied to retreat, leaving Avwlias Hill in the hands of the enemy, LEANING ON A BROKEN REED, “The Russians then occupied ail the strategical points in the direction of Kars, to which place we withdrew with one division to prepare our re- venge. Another division, including the corps com- manded by Rachid, Omar, Kiazim, Moussa and Chaivet Pacha, continues to hold its position on “Kara Dagh.”? PROVIDED FOR BY THE MUSCOVITES. ‘This is doubtless the portion of Moukhtar Pacha’s force which, according to a later Russian telegram, was compelled to surrender. MOUKITAR’S ESTIMATE OF THE LOSSES. Moukhtar Pacha says his loss is only 800 hors de vombat, which is obviously untrue. He claims that @ regiment and a half of Russian cavalry and four battalions of infantry were totally destroyed, SUPERIOR RUSSIAN ARTILLERY, Moukhtar attributes his defeat to Russian re- inforcements and the fact that they were able to place in position 200 guns served by skilled artil- lerists, RUSSIAN DIFFICULTIES OF TRANSPORT, A correspondent who has just inspected the Russian route of communication from Giur- gevo to Simnitza telegraphs from Sim- nitza that the road for the whole dis- tance 1s almost Impassable. The mud varies from two to four feet in depth, and wagons of arms, munitions and provisions are hopelessly stuck at frequent intervals. The sides of the road are literally lined with skeletons of horses and cattle, SUFFERING AT SIMNITZA, ‘The state of affairs in Simnitza ts indescribabl tha nud renders walking 10 the town impossible.

A Vienna correspondent states that Greece de- mands thet the Greek tlag shall be for- maily saluted on the citadel at Larissa as @ reparation for the recent attack on.the Greek Consulate. the excitement which such salute would cause among the Turkish population. In spite of this no apprehension is entertained of an immediate col- lision, which, as in Servia’s case, depends on events at the seat of war.

As to the remarks that had been made as to the benefits which would accrue to America by the the establishment of free trade, the General said he had a kind of recollection that England herself had a protective tariff until her manufactures were cstab- lished. American manufactures were rapidly pro- gressing, and America was thus becoming a great free trade nation, (Laughter.) ‘The General then warmly thanked the company for the reception they bad given him.

The stockholders of the Empire Transportation Com- pany met this afternoon in the Board of Trade rooms to transact their annual business, and also to vote upon the ratification of an agreement for the purchase of the company’s property by the Pennsylvania Rail- road Company. A large number of stockbolucrs and others interested were present, After the reading ofthe annual report of the directors, tho Secretary read the report of the negotiations between the two corporations looking to the purchase of tho business of thu Empire ‘Transportation Company by the Peunsylvaria Rutiroad Company. The report says:—‘‘In a gevera: way it may be stated that you sell the property named for a total par consideration of $4,600,000, of which, if you approve our action, $2,500,000 will be paid to us ip cash to-day and $2,100,000 in bonds, chiefly secured upou tho property you sell, and which we consider thoroughiy good and desirable as an investment, Besides these there will be pay ments for personal property uot included in the above and the net earnings of your business up to and including to day, You will also understand that oar lake property remains in our ownership and is unal- fected by Ue gale, Lt is stipulated that we shall, as scon us legally practicable, close up our affairs, divide our property and dissvive our corporate existence, This we bope to do some time ta the winter, but it will be needful to discharge or secure our tasue of $1,000,000 of bonds and to pay off all other indeviedness, The Jast matter will be accomplished by December, At the earliest moment possible wo shall agaim summou you together to Instruct us respecting the plan of final distribution which wo shall then submit to you.

TRUCULENT THREATS. “Mutual Concessions” with a Very One-Sided Look. THE COMING MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS, (Bx CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Panis, Oct. 18, 1877. The anxiety which prevails here now is wholly centred in the probable action of the government. The republicans, who have every reason to be satisfied with the reault of the elections, arenot by any ineans elated, as they had fixed their hearts on a much larger As the returns solidify, however, they are consoling them- selves by steady additions to their numbers in the Assembly, That is, however, a ques- tion of figuring. With their present ma- jority they can, if judiciously held together, become masters of the situation, for it is not generally believed that the Marshal can dic- tate to the Senate as he did after the 16th of May. majority. A HARD ROAD TO TRAVEI. He has no excuse left as regards the rep- resentative quality of the popular Chamber, for the republicans who were returned on Sunday have, as expressed to me by a re- publican Senator, ‘‘squeezed in through a path as narrow as Louis Veuillot would make the road to Heaven.” The pressure brought by the government through the officials, the police, the courts and the clergy, has been immense and unprece- dented, and gives a value and a meaning to the republican victory which would bring less tenacious men than De Fourtou and De Broglie to a prompt retirement from power, and a less obstinate man than the Marshal to terms at once. THE CABINE?’S LAST STAKE, The Cabinet, however, has another stake to play for, and, like desperate gamblers, will make or break before giving up. This stake is the election of Conseillers Gen- eraux and Conseillers d’Arrondissement in November. third of the Senate during their term of office, and hence an effort must be made to secure men who can be trusted to elect conservative Senators. AN INTERVIEW WITH DUC DE BROGLIE. All these considerations make the people anxious to know what the government pro- poses todo, A gentleman who had a con- versation with the Duc de Broglie yesterday gives me the following account of it:— Gentteman—Yoa must know by this time the exact result of the elections? Dvuxe—With eight votes, which the second balloting will certainly give us, we shall have gained fifty seats. Gentieman—The republicans will then be at least 320 strong, which will give them nore than one hundred votes majority. These Counsellors elect one- LIMITED CONCESSIONS, Duxe—No doubt. ence may appear, it does not exclude all possibility of reciprocal concession, GentLeman—What do you mean by that? Doxx—I mean that the members of the Left Centre may, by coming over to us, aid But, great as the differ- us to govern. GentLemaxn—Why should not you go over to them? Duxe—We are disposed to do so within the limits of possibility in leaving intact the Marshal's programme ; that is, the mainte- nance in their positions of all the present governmental functionaries. Geytteman—There is no mutual conces- sion in that. THE LEFT CENTRE TO THE RESCUE. Dvuxe—All we can do is to admit one or two members of the Left Centre to the Cab- inet, and there we shall stop. GerntLeman—For the moment, then, you will do nothing? Dvuxe—Nothing before the meeting of the Chambers. ANOTHER DISSOLUTION. Gentieman—Have you noticed that Emile de Girardin speaks of impeaching the min- isters ? Dvxe—At the first word of that kind the Marshal will demand a fresh dissolution from the Senate. Genrieman—They also speak of annulling the conservative elections en masse and re- fusing the Budget. Douxe—That would be forced dissolution. A STATE OF SIEGE, GesrLeman—lIn that case do you not fear trouble? Dvuxsc—In the event of another dissolu- tion the entire country will be placed under a state of siege. Gentteman—That seems perilous. Dexe—No, because the Marshal will not 1877.—TRIPLE SHEET. depart from the conservative programme, | but, as I have already intimated, I believe &n understanding with the Left Centre is perfectly realizable, THE WHITE PLACARDS—A LESSON FROM THE LEFT, The Left have proclaimed that they will annul the elections obtained by permitting the candidates to post on walls addresses printed on white paper, which, accord- ing to law, should only be used for placards emanating directly from the gov- ernment. Ail the governmental candidates used white paper for their placards. The Left hereby intend to lay down a principle binding on themselves as well as on their opponents, and to inflict a solemn condemnation on official can- didacy, backed by unblushing coercion, THE LEFT AND THE CABINET. They also announce that if a Cabinet is not formed from the majority they pass, the very first sitting, a vote of want of confidence, and, after the payment of the interest on the national debt and the sup- plies for the army, public works and purely administrative purposes, they will refuse all votes necessary for the working of the Cabinet, money and salaries of functionaries, do will at insuring such as secret service everything in short which can oblige a Cabinet, the abandon the struggle. The conditions on acting within law, to which members of the Left, who might be summoned, would agree to form a Cabinet are also spoken of. WHAT WILL THE MARSHAL DO? The relative to the tions of the Ministry vary continually. The latest are to the effect that the Ministers inclined to resign, but it is added that the Marshal’s private ad- visers hold that the Marshal cannot yield to the of the democracy without breaking his repeated pledges, but that he will accept the Left Centre if rumors inten- are dictates M.

TRIAL FOR THE REPUBLIC, LONDON, Oct, 17, 1877. A special despatch from Paris to the Times says:— “The country has spoken very clearly. After five months of unheard-of pressure fewer than forty seats have been gamed by the government, and these chiefly through local Influence, such as elections are. The republicans have been made compact and stronger by the mission given them by France. They have a majority of 134. ts not a Chamber in Europe containing @ majority. Veople are amazed when they consider the resolution and energy the electors must have had to bring about such a result, despite the pressure which, according to a competent wit- ness, did as much in three days as the Enipire did in twenty years, What will the government do, confronted by such an overwhelming resulty No one knows yet, but they seem decided on again raising their formidable administrative machine to influence the election of the 1,500 Conseillers d’Arrondissement and Conseillers Generaux, fixed for the 4th of November—that 1s to say, three days before the meeting of the Chamber. Jt was to manage these elections that the crime of the 16th of May was committed. They are of enormous importance. The Conseille neraux and Conseillers d’Arrondissement, together with detegates of the municipalities, are the electors of the Senate, and, as a third of the Senate retires eurly in 1579, if that election returned a repub} lican majority the monarchical parties would deem themselves lost forever, and therefore the present Cabinet 1s going to make a press and gigantic eifort if it remains in power till the 5th of November. Atany rate thatis all that can be predicted, It may resiga on the 6th or 6th.’ STANLEY’S WORK.

It points out that, for the present at least, the Ministers must *neces- sarily remain in office. It is added that the Ministers have not for a single moment en- tertained the idea of resigning any more than the President has thought of separating himself from them. THE CONSERVATIVE ELECTORAL PROGRAMME, Minister Fourtou, receiving the Pretects There are evidently men to-day, explained to them in the name of the government that the electoral struggle, which had gained fifty seats for the conserv- atives, would continue on October 28 at the second ballotings and on November 4 at the election for Councils General under pre- cisely the same conditions as it was entered upon, REPUBLICAN CONSOLIDATION. It seems certain that M. Gambetta is stren- uously endeavoring to unite all the factions of the Left into a single group. A REPUBLICAN ESTIMATE. A note issued by a committee of the Sena- tors of the Left estimates that after the re- sult of the second balloting and the colonial elections is known the republicans will have 335 in the Chamber. ‘Ihe note also protests against the revival of the system of official candidatures in the late election. ‘The election of the following additional members of the Chamber of Deputies has been reported:— REPCULICAN M.
