A despatch dated Vienna, Nov. 8ti, say lli.il l ho Consul of France nl Bucharest writes n r..llo , muter date of the Gib of Novem. ber: On Ihfl 2,1 and 3d of November, the Turks rrosseil the Danube from the Turtukai to Ol. trnitza, to the number of about 1S,000 men. On the 4 th General Parlof attacked them with 9000 men, and after brick cannonade, n combat with the bryonel took place be Iween Iho two armies. The Turk main tained their positions at Ollenilza, and have fortified them The combat lusted Ihtee hours. In it the Russians lost several officers, Hiid 136 privates killed, nnd 6 superior offi cers, IS subalterns, and 479 privates wound ed. The loss on the Turkish side is not known 4000 Turks occupy Kalaiache, 2000 have established themselves on an island in fiont of Giurguvo, and 12000 are in Lesser Wallachia." Another despatch from Vienna, dated Tuesday niuhl, Nov 8lh, says: From the -lib. to the 5th the Turks occu pied tho island near Oltenit.a, and crossed unobserved to Wallachia at dawn. When seen, a battle ensued which lasted 23 hours. The result is unknown. Il is rumored that Giurgevo was taken by storm. Turtukai and Oltenita are towns on the liht and left banks of the Danube, between Uitslchuck and Silistria, on the direct route to Bucharest. Higher up the river, and op posite toRustchuk, lies Giurgevo, from which another road leads to Bucharest. Still as cending the river, we come to Rahova, a town on the tight bank, opposite to which lias Kalarache, at the Junction of the Schyl and Danube. The troops ir. Lesser Walla, chia are those which crossed from Widdin, which forms tho extreme left of the Turkish line. Another account of the same battle, recei ved via Vienna, states that 14 Russian supe :or officers were killed, and that the Turks ' ere masters of the field, tho Russians finally '. seating to Bucharest. Previous to the battle the Turks had con cluded a building and tele du potit at Kala- f.-.t, vhich served as the basis of their oper ations. It appears that Omar Pasha crossed ut three points with 18,000 at Altenibza 4,000 at Kalvache, and 2,000 at Guirgevo. Skirmishes continually occured at the our posts Before the Turks crossed the Danube, a body of Cassacks come to the river's bank, and made signs insultingly to the Esiylian in the Turkish army, who rushed to the boats, rowed across in the face of the Cas sack's fire, and punished them well, chasii'g them inland, and returned to the camp in triumph. The Russian force, which was defeated and beaten back to Bucharest, was the main body, under General Davenbeig, w hich is estima ted at flora 30,000 to 40,000 strong. BATTLE IN ASIA. While the valley of the Danube has been the scene of these operations, similar fortune has attended the Tmks in the East, and accounts from Constantinople stales that Selim Pacha had crossed the Russian fron tiers in Asia, and that a baltlo ensued, in winch 5000 tioons engaged, both armies fell back as night came on. In a seconJ battle the Russians were de fcated, and on the 20ih of October Masko Bey, an officer in Selim Pacha's si a IT, with a small force, was suddenly attacked by a body of Russian cavalry. The Bey fell back, fighting, toward the body of the Tuikish anny, when the battle speedily become gen eral. Fifteen thousand Russians were enga ged, and the contest was most desperate. The Russians were again defeated, and fled, pursued by the Turks, who planted tho Sul tan's irtandard, and made their quarters at the Russians' position of Crello, riuht lionii distance fioin Ciorockdere, where tho battle bejun. The news, summed up, shows that the Tmks have beaten the Russians in Asia; that the Turkish left wing in Europe has beaten the Siissiuhs right wing, comprising th piincipal force of the Czar; and lhB Tirkish cfitd was whipped 9000 Russian u Tuitukai, and was pressinj upon Buchar est. Tho policy of the Russians is supposed o be to draw the Turks from their present j ivautageous positions, and to bring them i a battle that shall decide the campaign. "'.in intention of Omar Pasha is to keep his mi.se to diive the Russian from the Pi in ..p .iities, and to make his headquarters at .iiichaicst. A telegiajihic despatch states that the T.iisiau troops in the Piincipalilies are suf i.iring fruin typhus, and that the number of ombatunt is reduced to 85,000. It would ike six weeks before the reserve could come up fioin Bessarabia. FURTHER WARLIKE NEWS. Several other movements of the Turks on :he banks of the Dmiubeare reported ; among : rin, the destruction of a Russian steamer at C ova. . Iiu latest intelligence from the East stales ''i five Russian officers had arrived at L'en- uiupla as piisouers of war. Tin combineil fleets had anchored in the i- M';iorus. ll was rumored at Constantino- hut Bucharest bad teen stormed by the VI. j .nn nf A ... . P-.V I. . 1 . .... ..... ...... . ..ua ua ueen named as M , lister of War. Fiesh levies were beine ttmie in F.gyjt. The Turkish army is beiiij; paij promptly. A despatch dated at Vienna, on the even lug of Ihe 10th inst., states the following as the conditions insisted on by Oinar Pasha in bis note to Prince Gortschakolf, the Russian co.nmander of the Czar's troops. The strong h ilds of the Principalities to be immediately turrendered, and a complete evaeualion of the same as speedily at possible ; and to give a guaiontee to alt tho great Powers gainst making any similar invasion. The latest Information from Constantinople also stales that the Sultan had positively re-j-cled all the proposals recently made for an arrangement of the difficulties. In addition to this movement of the Czar( iho arrival of the Oveilaud mail from India brings the highly important report, that the Emperor of Russia has formed an alliance wilh Dost Mahomed to proclaim war with the British in India, if Britain persists in sup porting Tin key. The lalest from Asia states that a large Russian force was to invade Bokhara, and lhal the Persians were collecting an army in the valiey of Sultanieh to co-operate with Russia against Turkey. A report from Con stantinople, however, expressly contradicts this statement, so far as to Persia being hos tile to Turkey. The removal of Abdi Pasha Irom the com mand of the army in Asia is mentioned as probable. The llospodar Slirbey has left Bucharest for Vienna. II is departure has been offi cially announced to the representatives of ihe foreign Powers. The Government is carried on by a Commission, and the Russians have seized all the funds and treasure. The prices of goods and victuals have been fixed at a very low rate by the military authorities Whenever any dealer asks high prices, he is at. once seized and flogged by Ihe soldiers who superintend the public niaikets. The Poile has decided that foreign refu gees cannot be employed in Europe, but that they may serve in Asia. Constsnliuople was quiet. Tho Czar has requested the Montenegrins lo operate against the Turks. The Porto has informed Austria that Tur key will expect her to prohibit Ihe Russians from supplying the Montenegrins wilh arm through port Caltaro. Austria offers to remain entirely neutral if the Porte will refrain from employing Aus Irian refugees. Diplomacy lags hopelessly in the rear of the fighting, and even yet hopes to ndjut matters, but not till after a decisive battle shall have been fought. A condition is, that to snve.the Czir's amour propre, negotiation shall not be re-commenceil after any engage ment in which the Russians are w.rsled. Austria was concentrating a force on Ser vian frontier. The Servian Government had ordered the population to arm, and had in lurmeil the Porte that neither Austria nor Russia would be permitted to occupy Servia. It was freely reported in Paris that 25.000 French troops would be sent lo Turkey, but orders were not to be given until the govern men! had received despatches fiom General D'Hilliers, at Constantinople. ARRIVAL OF THE A T L A N T I C . STILL L VI I; 11 I ROM EI ROPK. The United States Mail steamship Atlantic from Liverpool about 10 A. M., Wednesday, l(i!ii ult., arrived ut New Vuik on the 29 1 h Fioni I he seat of War wo have only details of I do previous engagements, and reports that a decisive battle had been fought, the details of which are still lo coniu. Victory, so far, still peichi'd on the Tuikish banner. THE TURKISH WAR. Tho only authentic statement of any iu pulse the Tuiks have met with, is thai, on Ihe iiioiiiing of the Oih, their foice of 2000 were compelled lo evacuate tho island in front uf Ihe strong Russian position of Giur gern. In contrast lo this trilling check we have llio details of I lie following brilliant victory. Tub Battle ok Oi.tenitza We have now detailed accounts of the first encounter between the Moslem and Russians, ll proves to be an affair of much more importance than at first stated. After a continued fire from midnight of November 1st lo daybreak of the 3d, tho Tuikish ammunition became exhausted, and w ilh the wild cries of Mos lem warfare, Ihe entire Turkish forces char ged the enemy with bayonet and sabre and scattered ihem at all points! The Russians left twelve hundred on the field in killed and wounded, and were driven buck upon Bucharest, where a heavy fire from Ihe ar tillery of the pluce, biought up the pursuing Tuiks, who then leturned lo Ollenilza and encamped upon the field, their first care be ing lo fortify the position. The bailie was fought within a liiangle uf laud formed by iho waters of ihe Argis and Danube; only nire thousand Turks were engaged, but Ihey hail occupied a slrnug quarantine building, and an old redoubt situated in the plain near the D.mobe, as well as Iho village. Fioin this position they threw shot and shell wilh great effect up to Ilia very entrance of a je whence Gen. Davenberg was direct ing Ihe attack. A telegraphic dispatch sen! lo the French Government, and immediately mi 13ih lust.) commuiiicted lo Ihe Turkish Minister at Paris, says that Ihe Russians twice drove the Tuiks from their position, but that on Iho Ihiid day, (b) this despatch a. led November 4ih,) the Tuiks dispersed the Russians with the loss above stated. The Russian loss in officers was particularly seven-, Ihe enemy's maiksmen having appar ently endeavored lo pick oiTas many us Ihey rould. It is particularly noticed lhal ihe disabled officers are almost w iihout excep tion wounded by ihe conical balls of ihe chasseur regirnenls organised on the model uf the celebrated French chasseurs of Vin comics The Tuikish artillery was beanii. fully served. The Russians, loo, stood man fully to their arms, and the affair nad all the features of a pitched bailie. Omer Pasha did not command in person. The position of Ollenilza is veiv ttroni. the led uimr r iu Tuiks being protected by the river Ardis, (AiJrisch,) the right by a swamp impassable io norso, and the rear by Ihe fortress of Silis trm and the fort of Turtukai. The gunners in Turtukai fired wilh such precision during ihe balile, that the shot passing ever the heads of the Turks did great execution among the Russians. A repoit lays the Russians lost eight guns. On learning iho defeat of Diva.,!, Ollenilza, Prince GortschakofT, without diTlay, iuu measure to auack the Turks ere they had time lo recover from Ihe former causu- amies ot ihe loimer action. With this view he left Bucharest on the 7lh, at '.he bond of 24,000 fresh troops, and accompanied by his entire staff', advanced upon Pitenitza. The Turk upon that position was only 9,000 slrong, less the hort de combat of the pre- rious battle, piobably 1000 it dead nnd wounded. This left but 11,000 to oppose the Russian general, but the Turks being: in force higher up the river, would no donbt come up in time to take part' in the fray. At the dale when our correspondent pre pared hit despatch, Tuesday evening, 15th, rumort were flying thick thnt the battle had been fought. One account stated circum stantially that the Turks had beend'saslrously defeated, and diivenacios the river. Ano ther account asserted, no less positively, that the Russians had met w ilh ateriible repulse. The locality nf this battle is very vaguely called "ihe neighborhood of Bucharest." Another report says "between Widdin and Bucharest. " And a third despatch, promul gated by certain speculators, said, ' undei the walls of Buchaiest," and that "the Rus sians attribute to themselves the victory." And yet another account stales that the fight look place at Krnjova which is tho most likely lo bo correct, as we learn that on the 3d nisi, the Tuikish force at Kalalat was awaiting reinforcements lo march upon Kra jova. Out ol Ihe confused and contradictory statements that are circulated, our correspon dent endeavers to elucidate the respective position ol the hostile armies. Tho Auslrians have 40 000 men spread alung their frontier. The Fieneh and British have a fleet ir. the Sea of Mermora. The Russians have a fleet of about thirty heavy ships on Ihe Black Se t The Tuiks have a fleet of about equal strength, and under Ihe command of an Eng lishman. (Admiral Slade,) part before Con stantinople, and part in Ihe Black Sea. The Turks have 200 gun boals on the Danube ; the Russians about half that num ber. The Tuiks, in alliance with the Circassians, and having as auxilliiies many liied soldier,, of Hungary, have a force in Asia that give the Russians enough in do to hold their own. The Russians have now in the Principali ties 85, 000 serviceable men, and 12000 in hospital Their head quarter are at Buchar est, defended by some hundred heavy guns The army operate in two divisions, coin, mauded respectively by D.uivenberg (already flogged) ami GolschakufT. The latter can ; hold his various position w ith suitable garri sons, and spare 25.000 men for Ihe field, either in jnnrlion wilh Danveiiberg or on his own hook. They have communication open with Russia, are well equipped, and passably well provisioned. Stiong reinforcements of infantry are on the way, but cannot reach for five weeks. Cavalry reinforcements are not intended lo be senl until spring. Old Paskie witch is lo take the command, and Ihe Em peror, it is expected, will come near the seat of war. War being now formally d'eclaredi the Russian generals may act on the offen sive if I hey can.

There are be sides movements along the Tin kith side ol tho Danube lhal indicate an attempt on ihe purl of Ihe Turks lo cross lower down on iho stream, ut Giilatz, peihaps, wilh a view to turn the Russians flank. Omar's quarters, and base of tin) Tuikish operation are al Shunila. He has already taking tho me dium of conflicting statement S0,000 men across Ihe river, and an equal number be tween the Danube and ihe Bulkan. Hi troops tire well armed, equipped, fed, and, in Ihe meantime, paid, and he has in his army officers of skill. The Paris Sieclc says that a letter of Iho 30iii ult., from Constantinople announces lhal the Tuiki-.li Government has definitely set aside Ihe project of ai rangeinent proposed by Loid Redulitfe. Rescind Pacha has de claied in the name of the Ministry and of Ihe Grand Council of ihe Empire, lhal Ihe war having broken out in spile of foibearance shown by the Porte, iheie was no longer any question of a solution of a special point, A new treaty must now regulate Ihe relation between Tuikey ami Russia, and Ihe Sultan hopes, wilh ihe aid of God and his allies, Ihut the new Irealy will raise a solid barrier against that Russian ambition lhal iuscssnntly endangers ihe peace oT ihe world. But wilh any negotiation having for ils starting point t lie recent Vienna diplomacy, Tuikey will have nothing lo do. A leller lo the Paris Fariv, from Constan tinople 23 :li till., states that the Turkish cruisers had chased some Russians gun-boats in the harbor of Sebaslipol. By tclegtnpli from Constantinople to the 3d, the Turks are reported lo have stormed and captured the Russian fortress on the Shefkulil, Asia. In addition to this, several other fortresses in Georgia and ihe Caucuses have fallen into possession of the Tuikish al lies. The foil are Cartoor, which was taken hy the Koorps ; Fnliler, by Iho troops from Damascus; and Surmine Istrat and Kuchal, by ihe Bachi-Bozonks. Disaffection has broken out among the Pules in ihe Russian tanks. Four had been summarily shot at Bucharest. The Czar's declaration of War waa read in ill the churchesof Si. Petersburg on ihe 4th Thuro was a review on the same day, but the Declaration was not lead lo Ihe troops. corps d'armes was under oiders te em bark from Odessa for Georgia, to reinforce Prince Worauzoff, who urgently asked for succor. Ihe embarkation ot i lie corps is. however, coiiiilermiimled, lest they shonlj fall in with the Turkish fleet, and Ihe corps will be sent to leiuforce Gotschakoff.

Tui last ijiviiulioo hat caused great alaim. The national defenoe of Servia goes on wilh great activity. District Inspectors go from village to village to tee that every man is armed. LATEST FROM EUROPE. By submarine telegraph the following spo. cial dispatch reached Liverpool, just before the departure of the Atlantic : Vienna, Monday. Gortshakoff set out on the 8ih inst., for Ollenilza, to chastise the Turks, having wilh him 14,000 troops mostly infantry. On the 1 1th came up wilh the Turks, who had come out to meet him. Se vere fighting ensued, and the Russians were obliged to retreat a second time in disorder on Bucharest ; having now lost in four alacks en Ollenilza not lest than 3,000 ! This it au thentic. On the 9th, the Turks were d'iven from the Island opposite Guilders.
