Tho Allan Line and Grand truak Rupture.

Monrreat, Nov. 6.

A rupture has occurred between the}

Allan Line and the Grand Trunk. Al! through freight wiil be forwarded by the Dominion and Beaver Lines from Portland. fhe Allan steamers go to Baltimore. WAR NEWS. Erxzeroum, Nov. 6.

A severe attack was made yesterday on the l'urkish positions ; fighting took place ill along the whole line. After ten hours’ engagement the Turkish centre was driven in, and the Turks were compelled to fal back. Mukhtar Pasha was slightiy wounded.

Tne Russian force from Ardahan is re ported to have entered Eastern Euphrates Valley. This would cut the fine of com munication between Patous and Erzeroum ani “Trebizond. 3y cutting the latter line the Russians might easily make the evacuation of Erzeroum absolutely neces- sary.

Lonpon, Nov. 6.

By the occupation of the heights near Dabruk, the Russians commanded tie Turkish tele de pont over the Vida, which is the only means of egress from Pievna on the south and west sides. ‘The investment of Pievna is complete—Osman Pasha en- girdled by vastly superior artillery, which the Russians can now bring to bear from ail sides, will soon find bis position unten able. Meanwhile, the Russians are clears ing, not only Sofia road, but all approaches from the Balkans. ‘The occupation of Tete Van Pass deprives the Turks of means by which they might have operated on the Ad- vancing from Telische and Lovatz towards Orcbanie the Turkish relieving army would have to light its way up to Plevna step by step.

Chafket Pasha, at the head of a strong force, is advancing to the relief of Plevna. Usman Pasha’s army is amply provisioned ani in fine condition. Notwithstanding Russian progress westward, the Turks are confident Plevna will hold out.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 5 Miny prominent dignatries have been arrested by order o’ethe Grand Vizier, It is said a conspiracy on the part of a party of ex-Sultan Meejad has been discovered. Lonpon, Noy. 6.

It is reported that Mehemet Ali has ar« rived at Sofia to organize and command an army for the defence of the Western Bal- kan Passes,

The ‘ Standard’s’ Vienna despatch states that the Sultan hia granted Midhat Pasha permission to go to My-Telenec.

The following laconic despatch would apvear to confirm the ‘* Daily Telegraph's’ report from Erzeroum of the defeat of the lurks before that city on Monday, after an eegavement ef ten hours’ duration :

‘CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 6

“Mukhtar Pasha telegraphs from Erze roum on Monday, as follows: ‘ We had an engagement at Deve Bogan, after which we returned here.’ ”’

LONDON, Nov. 6,

A special to the **Post,”’ dated Constan- tinople, Tuesday, announces that after some resistance to the Russian advance, Mukhtar Pusha, finding his position on Deve Bogan Setlously co,opromised, abandoned it, and ‘3 faliing back on Erzingan or Trebizond. The Russians have occupied Erzeroum. [?]

A letter from Mr. Davies appears in the | for orders, 25. 8+7 bush. outs, by Duncan & |

‘column of the leading article, surrounded t Ca he OF ennke Cammen Ey, P| |

| by a blaze of editorial tireworks, but with | ‘them [ have nothing to do. | My recollection of the circumstances of | |the interview, and everything connected | With it, is perfectly clear, and enables me to say that Mr. Davies entirely mistakes | Mr. McDonald, his Janguage, and his mean- | ing. He even forgets the cause of the! breaking up of our meeting

There was no ‘‘insult”’ intended; there was none Offered. Not one of the three of us who were present ever thought of such a thing.

The allusions to ‘‘ duelling’’ and a *‘per. sonal assault” are unworthy of Mr. Davies.

| stated ‘that it is an instinct with a _gentleman to resent with becoming dig. jmity & ‘gross insult,’ whenever and by | whomsoever Offered.”’ I repeat it. I nevrr | expected fora moment that the Editor of jthe Patriot could comprehend what | neuer pe by this, but I did think that Mr. | | Davies would not have misunderstood it. | ; | thought I bad, I still think I have, placed Mr, Davies under a deep obligation |

to me by writing my former letter, for it gave him an excellent opportunity of ex | tricating himself from the false peertion | | which the silly blundering of the Patriot | had placed him in.

That he has not availed himself of it is, | {for him, a misfortune, but it is | fault. | Mr. Davies’s whole attitude in the mat- jter is, to my mind, conclusive of the cor. 'rectness of my assortion.

When the meeting broke up he and Mr. McDonald cordially took leave of one another. Six months brooding in silence was required to conjure up this im: aginary wrong, and then its birth is an. nounced with a flourish of brazen trumpets in the columns of the /atriot.

But Mr. Davies has placed himself iu « still more awkward position, For it seems that it is not unreasonable to believe of him that he makes the Editor of the Pats riot (of all men under Heaven) the confic's ant of what he believes to be his sorrows and his wees.

1 repeat, that the statement of the Fatriot that Mr. McDonald ‘‘ grossly in- sulted ’ Mr. Davies is, having reference to the /anguage of the ciusists, ‘‘a lie witha cu cumstance.”’

Yours truly, E. J. Hopeson.

Hillsborough House, Nov. 7, 1877.

P. S. Since writing the above [ have re. ce:ved « letter from Mr. McDonald, written just after he had received the /’atriot of the Ist. Hisamazement at the Patriol’s version of the interview was evidently as great as my own. He says ;—

‘| do not wonder at your indignation at the wilful misrepresentaion and distortion of the circumstances attending the very simple, quiet, and, in every respect, cour- teous meeting between Mr. Davies and myself, at which, fortunately, you were present, [ am positive Mr. Davies left the room with az kindly feelings as he entered it, that our parting was as friendly a3 Our greeting, that not only did | noi | say anything personally offensive to Mr. Davies, but that Mr. Davies had no thought of anything of that kind having occurred when we left the room. ”’

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Sir, —In the Argus of yesterday it is in- nocently announced that the building oc. cupied by Col. McGill and Mr, Sinclair was not wholly damaged, but merely injured, soasto be of no use whatever. Very likely! but still 1, for one, would like the ‘*pragmatical’’ editor to define the differ- ence between complete damage and total injury. Some men, itis true, have keener perceptions than others; but the distinc. tion in this case is too nice for me, I give it up. Yours, ete.,
