The New York Tribune is commenting upon the military operations that were going on, at last accounts between the Turks and the Russians. Great praise is awarded to the Turkish soldiers, and to their commanders. The Tribune says:--

"We learn that the Turkish force which
crossed from Turtukai to Oltenitza, was led
by Ismael Pasha or General Guyon (he has not
renounced Christianity though he holds a high
rank in the Sultan's army,) whose gallantry in
the Hungarian war gave him a high reputation
as a bold, energetic and rapid executive officer
Without remarkable strategic talent, there are
few men who will carry out orders with such
effect as he has proved on the present occa-
sion, where he repelled his assailant with the
bayonet"

The Tribune also has the following:--

"Among the passengers who sailed in the
Baltic on Saturday, was Lieut. Gen A. Vetter-
Dogeutelt, who goes to participate in the war
against the Russians. Gen. Vetter's name is
honorably connected with the Hungarian war
of independence, and though the Sultan does
not now employ the Hungarian refugees, we
presume he will soon have occasion for their
services."
