As regards the campaign in Asia, the news of the

week is not favourable to Russia. On the 25th, an engagement occurred near Kuruk-dara, the object of which appears to have been to obtain possession of Kuruk-dara, in which the Turks failed ; but they carried the heights of Kizil-tope, and so far improved their posi- tion, the losses on both sides having been heavy. But the Armenian campaign is now chiefly important as diverting troops which would otherwise reinforce the Turkish armies on the Danube. For the moment, there seems something like a drawn battle on both sides.
