The accounts we received of the severe repulse at Eeni, which the Eussians experienced in their endeavor to cross the Danube, have yet to be confirmed. No doubt many of such messages will be received ere the present war is ended, each side claiming a victory which perhaps belongs to neither. It is stated that at Ibrail, a. place to the south, of Galatz, the Eussian batteries have sunk a Turkish ironclad. This rumored v.ry slight success falls into the shade by the -side of the report that the Eussians were repulsed in an attack^ on Batoum (it is called in the cal^gram Batoura) with a loss of forty thousand men. Batoum is situated to the north of Ears and a little south of Poti, so it true the news is imr portant. England, too, has already.ordered a squadron to Port Said, at the mouth of the Suez Canal on the Mediterranean side, so as to protect her own in the event of the threatened reprisals of Russia on Egypt becoming facts.
