Intelligence from Erzeronm to the 14th November states, that not only had the Russians not abandoned their position before Kars, but that limsravief had sent forward 8000 men to the Soghaulu Dagh, while the Erivan detachment had Menaced Hassan Kaleh. The good folks of Erzeroum thought these movements portended an attack on their town, in the event" of the fall of Kars. It is stated that the Turkish Government has been informed that the garrison of Kars repulsed, on the 3dINovember, an attack on a village close to the Tahmas Tabia. The Russians burnt the village. From Souchum Kaleh we learn that Omar Pasha was at Sugdidi on the 18th November, in communication with Rodent Kaleh ; his advanced poets were on the %untie road.
In his latest letter, received this afternoon, the Berlin correspondent of the Tirni..a notices that the Russian population-tables show no increase since 1851; and he remarks, that these tables thus "offer an:unfavourable prognostic for the capacity of Russia to keep her armies for the future up to the necessary complement."
