BLOODY BATTLE ON THE DANUBE.
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

of war. War being now formally d'eclaredi

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

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

the most distinguished of the spiritualists.
There is no question that many distinguish

these mysterious knocking!, who are un
willing to acknowledge the fact to the
