RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Glasgow, June 2. It appears that much
difficulty is experienced by the Russians in effecting the passage of the Danube, and
that their pi ogress is by no means likely to be so rapid and triumphant as may have fanatic
ally anticipated. They have been checked for a number of days by the town of Brahilow,
which is situated in Wallachia, on a steep bank of the Danube, and which is defended by a very strong citadel, and also, as appears from late intelligence, by a brave and resolute garrison. If the Russians can Only be checked upon the Danube until the scorching summer mon'.hs set in, their progress over the parch cd plains of Bulgaria, where provisions will be scanty, and water not at all to be had, must be so slow and harassing, as to render
the passage of the Hcmus impracticable during the first campaign. We are beginning to conceive good hopes of the defenders of Turkey, and feel inclined to agree in sentiment with a correspondent of the Sun, who writes upon this subject as follows : u We are not among those who arc inclined to speculate very confidently on the issue of the war between the Russians and the Turks, and those we think, who predict the decided and certain triumph of ihe Russians,-do not very accurately estimate the difficu lties of the cutet prise in which they are engaged, no J the great advantages which the country the) have invaded possesses lor defence We arc well aware of the resources of Russia, and her great military powers. There are n ar mies in Europe go numerous, better appoint
ed, nor any generals more thorogr.hly ersed in the science of war That on anv ordin.it field of battle an equal ntiniber of Kus-ians would beat an cqu d or Mipn ior number o! Turks, we rnak? no doubt, ceclliv.'- them as they do m all military oualil?c'- ; hut 'hony'i a
appearance of Vegetation I in summer they arc scorched by the sun into a tlegree of aridi ty which renders them a complete desert, while the cold damps and dews ol night arc adverse not merely to comfort, but to health. These mountains must be passed by the Russians in their progress to Constantinople ; and when we consider their height and rugged ness, and the narrowness and inaccessible character of the passes winding amid ravines and precipices, commanded on evciy side by the adjacent ground, we may easily conceive through w hat a series of difficulty and dan
gerous operations an invading army must be pushed before it can cross this great natural barrier r what fatigues and privations must be encountered ; how many formidable positions must be canied : and by what a great sacri ficeof men even success must be purchased The Tiuks, we learn from the late instruct ive woik of Mr. Walch, depend on those natural defences for their security against a Russian invasion ; and ue have no d ubt they will be maintained with bravery and perseverance. The Turkish tioons arc not deficient
in courage; they frequently display piodi gies of valor, and auied by these strong holds, thev will make a nowciful defence. The Russians, by the aid of valot, discipline and science, may surmotint all these obsta cles ; but, if they succeed, it will certainly be a milituiy achitxement of :he highest class, and will u!d mcatlv to their watiiki icnuwn There will thi n be no further obstacle to their process ; and the passage of the He mus mountains may therefmc he cot.sklei ed as deciding the late of C.enif.'.ntinople."
except in the prosecution ofthe siege of Brailaw, and that it was believed that the invading army would not pass the boundaries of Wallachia and Moldavia, without express or ders from the emperor. This is confirmatory of the reports of concession on the pari of l uikey, and the hesitation on the part of Russia London, June 17. Mr. Lawrence, the Amcrican charge des affairs had a very long c; nference yesterday with the earl of Aberdeen, at the foreign office. Brailaw wis invented by .a corps of eighteen thousand Russians, and the trenches wcreopencd on the 2 1 st of May, very near the fortress for the purpose of making a breach. Two Russian battalions were ordered to drive the Turks out of them ; they penetrated into the streets which wcic choked up with, rubbish, and charged the Turks at the point oi the bayonet, while the fortress fired at them with mortars. About one hundred and sixty Turks were killed and taken prisoners. It is reported that a number of ccssacs hail
been brought prisoner into Brailaw, and by the pacha's orders hanged on the walls of the tot tress in sight of ti e Russian army. The soldiers were cmag( d. It was feared the taking of Biuiiaw would be attended with dreadful massacre. It was expected that ths passage of the Danube would be offei ed by the end cf May.
Since capt. Morgan was seen at Boston, at Smyrna in a Turkish dress, and at divers other places alive ; and since he was found upon the shore of lake Erie, and several other places dead; he has been seen by a fur trader, who knew him well far up the liver Arkansas, where he is permanently established ; having married the daugnter of old king Gegagagj, and taken the name of Homencchlcco or white warrior, has himself become the principal chief of a tribe of Indians. These tales are probably designed to keep alive pubjic curiosity as the fate of Morgan, which Is still as mysterious as ever. The editor of the Middlesex (Conn.) Gazette, who by the way is something of a wag, has the latest account ol the missing man, as follows a Morgan has been seen sculling up the Nhgara falls in a pitash kettle, with a crow bar fur an oar Fact i pon honor."

the Danube, which tuns along the northern ftontier of Bilgaria for about three hundred miles from west to cast, and which is studded with fortresses and fortified tons, seldom at a greater distance from each other than thirty miles. The river is no less than a mile broad throughout all the country, and if vigilantly watched and well defended, it must he an cqually difficult and dangerous operation to transport an army salely across it It must be confessed, however, that in all w,?rs that have occurred between Russia and Turkey, th'S great river has not been vigilantly defended; and it has never accordingly proved any serious barrier to the progress ot the invaders But other more formidable obstacles must be encountered in advancing into the country ; about fifty miles beyond the Dan ube, and nearly parallel to its course, lies the formidable bariier of the Hcmus or Ralkao mountains, which rise to a great elevation, and are full of deep ravines and narrow defiles, and all these localities which render defence so easy, and enable a few men to arrest the progress of a whole army.

Placed, as mailers iiuw aie, the throne of the Czars, may disperse, at pica sure, the destinies of one entiic heir.ispheie ofthe globe. It is the intct est nf the south em fusions of Europe, were it possible to u nitc them, to begin before it is loo late, to raise the standard of opposition. What Napoleon predicted, is near ai riving ; and iheie is none who now more ri in et his los than that very government which did rnoic than all the rest to shorten the period ol his c:iUtfncc. Should, however, the frieatcr muted

It is most piobablc. however, that these things take a more natural tuin, and that the maritime foicc' of France and Engl.md will, in the event of their union w ith Austria. Germany and Italy, be taught to act a ainst Russia in such a manner as to destroy, effectually, her commetcc in the Baltic and Black seo, while America, wishing to reap the harvest, will, in all human probability, be dragged into the quarrel. In that event, the alliance of the Russian and American marine, would doubtless excite some uneasiness in
the French and English squadtOns. Should these be the moves upon the great political chess board, there is a prospect of a more en du ring, bloody and obstinate contest, both on sea and land, than has ever yet occurred in history. For my own part, I have not the least doubt that there will in less than one year be a general conflagration, at least, on this side the Atlantic. A". Y. Enquirer PHILADKLritlA, AUG 5,1828.
