A dispatch re ceived at the department of state from the U. 8, Secretary of legation at Vienna, gives an account of the opening of the interna, tional cereal fair on the 20th of August in that city.

New York, Sept "-The Tribune's Washington special says a new Commissioner of Indian Affairs will lie appointed in a day or two. All are satisfied with Smith, but the President believes a change will be ben (i-ial. If Smith will consent t take another position important and asrreeable, which he is better fitted for, the change will be made at once. The lowest price for sold for over 15 years was reached in New York, yesterday 103i. Gen. Anderson, a member of the Louisi ana Returning Board, was some days ago appointed Deputy Collector at the port New Orleans. In consequence there creat indizuation among the Democratic politicians of Louisiana. New York, Sept 8. The assignment of Frank Leslie, newspaper publisher, to Isaac W. England, was filed in the office of the County Clerk to-day. The Sun says bis liabilities are $330,000; his assets are repre. sented by numerous publications, his large printing and engraving establishment, with its presses, machinery and fixtures, and a considerable establishment at Interlake near Saratoga. Mr. Leslie's embarrassments arise iu good part from too extended invest ments in real estate. Arrangements have been made whereby the publications will be continued. Tweed's examination and free testimony before the aldermanio committee so soon af ter refusing to testify before the State Sen. ate Committee looks suspioiously like in trigue for political purposes ot the anti-Til den faction including John Morrissey's whilom friend and latterly bitter enemy, John Fox. Tweed's present testimony evidently is substantially that contained ia his confession rejected by Attorney-General Fail-child when offered as a condition of Tweed's release. It is p.edicted that Fair child will be set aside at the coming State Convention for a new nominee, who, if elected, is expected to accept Tweed's terms. These facts are flatly denied by the parties implicated, several of whom were never heretofore suspected of anything dishoni able. ) ' While Maine Republicans fully expect to carry the approachiug election, their wisest leaders do .not expect to make the gains which some anticipate as a consequence of Democratic dissatisfaction with their gub ernatorial nominee. Despite abuse by the Bourbons, Williams is the strongest mail the Democratic party could put iu the field, especially because, disregarding the plat form, he acquiesces in Hayes' election aud believes iu his southern policy. His party will vote for him, for party discipline; his conservatism secures support from non par tisana with Democratic tendencies. Conse quently the race is likely to be closer than geuorally assumed. Do not be surprised if the Republican majority fiuls'to 5,000 against 10,000 lust year. Thero is much uneasiness in republican circles lest their small majority in the Na tional Senate shall be overcome at the special session by reason of Morton's illness, Spen cer's possible defection and t he possibility Patterson s indictments niay keep linn nr oUinr- aocidefte.

According to Turkish financial estimates, deficit of 11,000,000 Turkish pounds is anticipated for the years- 1877-78, which will have to be raised by special taxation. Dundee, Sept 6.

The council of Aber deen yesterday unanimously resolved to confer the freedom of the city upon Gen. rant A telegram was received at Dundee yes terday from Grant stating that he would be unable to revisit the town, and was there fore obliged to decli.ie its proffered freedom.

London, Sept. 6. The Earl of Derby, foreign minister, speaking at Liverpool last evening, said he did not think the present moment favorable for any interposition by third parties in favor of peace, but the time might come, and it might not be far distant when England's good offices would be acceptable. He assured , his hearer that wheuever in Uie government s juugment uuw time arrived, they would not loss the oppor tunity. , I; Constantinople, Sept. C Mehemet All l Bucharest, Sept. 4.

The Russians have en tirely dismantled Ardahan, which ii now an open town. Gen.

This may indicate either att advance in the direction of Plevna or a retreat from that neighborhood of the J antra line. . , A Vienna correspondent, telegraphing Thursday night says it is now settled that Count Aud.assy and Prince Bismarck will meet September 12th or 15 at Salseburg. In ministerial circles it is maintained that this is merely aa act of courtesy. It is admitted, however, that the chances of future medita tion may be touched upon. A Berlin correspondent discredits the ru mors in relation to meditation. Chicago, Sept 6. The Times' London special says London was never so excited since the Russians crossed the Danube. The city is inundated with rumors of battles in every direction of the most sanguinary char acter, all asserting Russian successes. Only official reports can bring order out of chaos of events between the Danube and the Bal kans. Plevna was carried by storm after repeated desperate assaults aud lndiscriba- ble carnage. The defeat of Mehemet and the utter route of the Turks outside of the Shumla-Rustchuk line are among the many contradictory and imperfect reports from the from the scene of operations. Ihe occur rence of the events and the imminence others of importance is the excuse of renewed demands by the English press for putting an end to the war. The war has been so bloody, inflicting such enormous damage and suffering, aud which, if continued another year, will be sure to ruin one or both, bellig erents and drag other European nations into it, and that it oughtto be ended without any more sacrifice. It is not British interests that are endangered by the probable Rus sian successes, but the war should be ended for the sake of humanity. Frantic appeals to this effect form the burden of the most Turkoplite journals, London, Sept. 6. The Russian success art Lovatz makes Osman Pasha have a hostile force on both flanks. Either defeat at Plevna or attempted withdrawal may result iu the destruction of his army unless thel Russians are compelled to weaken theiiM forces on that side to check Mehemet Ali's advance from Rasgrad. The latter seems to' place the Czarowitch s army iu a position vurv nimilar to Osmau Pasha's, if Turkish accounts may be trusted. A Turkish force has crossed the Lom and cached the neigh borhood of Obertiiie, while another force has crossed the Kara SMa to Patomaika. those forces are understood to be operating agaiust (liela. but they jeopardize the whole Rus sian eampaiuu east of the Yantra as well as communications with Tirnova.

Our seige batteries opened on Friday, at 6 A. H., a cannonade, which con tinued all day. The commandant of one of about one half has been redeemed, and $75, 000,000 sold, leaving $25,000,000 on hand. The silver remaining in circulation is in one thaler pieces.

The present rate of withdrawal is considers- v Turkish outposts "wen immediately by the Rm but they fell back wit alter seeing that the advave was made in force. When the Turkish outposts had fal len back upon their main picket the line of the Russian army was at owe strengthened and engaged the enemy until the main body began to arrive. The regiments as they came up were immediately formed in line of battle and at once became engaged. The artillery fire along the entire line of the Russian advance was steady and destructive. The Russian gunners by their rapid practice admirably covered the advance ot their in fantry as the latter pushed forward seeking closer contact with the enemy. The Turks in the meantime were fighting stubbornly but entirely on the defensive. The fighting that ensued as soon as the entire movement bad been fairly unmasked by the Russians, was of the most terrific character, both the part of the Turks and their assailants. Almost every stragetic point' along the whole lint of operations was the scene of desperate charges by the Russians. In nearly every instance whea the Russians reached the Turkish positions they succeeded in carry ing tliem, despite tne irregularity of the ground occupied by the- movement of their forces. The Turkish positions, though in the main well chosen on billy ground, were stormed with an impetuosity that iwent the enemy before it, though in many instances at heavy lots in killed ami wounded, 'i i)u de fense of the Turks was determined and des perate, but they were unable to withstand the onslaught of their opponents and were compelled to retire sullenly Irom position af ter position. Before noon the Turin had been driven into their last line of intreuch- ments. Meanwhile, having been informed by spies of the existence of a by-road, or sort of Bpur of the main thoroughfare, be tween Byela and Plevna, the Grand Duke ordered a division of cavalry to make the detour necessary to it and to attempt a flank movement trom the northward, ilija oper ation is now being carried on. As I wrote the last sentence a courier dashed into camp, He was reported to say that the troops of the left wing were doing grand work before Lovatz, and that the town would certain!; be taken before dark. A staff officer higi in rank said to me a m nient later, "If that be true, we shall enter Plevna to-morrow I can only say that everything seems to in dicate such a result. The battle still con tinues, and from the artillery firing which , I hear off in the distance to the north wi' 'ii seems probable that the flank inoveuu! r( been discovered. Up to the momeib courier departs with this dispatch the ' sians have .not sulfated any serious te . and it seemi very probable that the pr" ecy regarduig Vie na wul "jovaltrus,? IT wounded. Our loss Friday was not large. The artillery engagement was renewed on '.. .iJ oot i-Tcrnr anil con. tinued all day. In the evening our left wine succeeded in occupying the heights to the south ot the town, with a loss ot S00 men. The village of Uschitza was also occupied. The center and riht wing have approached within 1,200 or 1,400 yards of the Turkish loruncations. I he losses on the whole are not great. The cannonade lasted all Satur day night, and increai ed in violence on Sun day morning. A dispatch dated Bucharest, to-day, says the general attack on "Plevna will be- made to-day. It is said thtt 2D, 000 tnrksf-"who were marching to Osman Pasha's assistance, have been intercepted below flea-ski. London, Sept 10. A correspondent tele graphing from Poredin gives the names of the various corps and brigades composing the army before Plevna, showing that there are 000 infantry, in. .ding 28,000 Rouinan- The present rate of withdrawal is considera bly slower than heretofore. Ihis the Lcono mist thinks is probably due to the larg? moustof fiilvfir ia tuuul uat easily disposed ol. The London Spectator in a remarkable ar ¬ ticle shows practically that England is tm the road to a dreary condition, and lookafor ward to the time when . her factories will close one by one; iron and coal minera wii close up like the tin mines of Corawalkb fires in forges will be blown out, the sljirp will be laid o. rot and so forth. The foalf suggested remedyis the discovery of (mu naw rndturtry to replace those already -IW. ing.

The greater part of the army has the advant age of having already been under fire. Some indication ot turning the movement was sug gested, when Prince Meretinsky took Lo vatz, but the suggestion was deceptive. Ihe course of the attack promises to be almost identical with that pursued on a previous occasion. : A Correspondent writing on Thursday ex plains the positions of the contending armies at Plevna as follows: Grivica stands in the toe of a horseshoe formed by the Turkish positions around Plevna. Opposite to it stands the Russian fifth division which will fall in after artillery preparation. The line o elsewhere, aa there will be nothing to do ere. ' j ' A leading grain circular says since the bo- gining of the week - a firmer tone has been apparent. No alterations in the value of English wheat old Europe being practically exhausted, and new from its inferior quality presenting few attractions to buyers, but the value of foreign is improved, and shows still an upward tendency here and ia the adja cent markets. Since) Tuesday buidneas baa s been tolerably active. Fair business kaa been transacted in wheat at extreme rate. While maize has commanded an advance of three pence per quarter at this market to day, wheat met with active demand, and all is prolonged on the left flank by five divisions good qualities both red and white are a peu-- .xt.n.llnn .. far Rnant Onnnnita f.bn ii v to two pence per cental dearer. Ionn horseshoe is the RusBo-Roumanian center. The Russians have the ground to the left which was occupied by Prince Schockosky in the previous battle of Plevna. The Rou manians have a section of the environment held at fully previous rates; nisise in got t request and realizes an advance of six pence per quarter. ; A Letter fiom Isaac liutt, Home Rule member of parliament for Limerick, ridi cules, the idea that parliament will grant can caused W Rome, Sept.

The Turkish position opposite the Rouman ian section are the stronger, but as there are 28,000 Roumanians to 50,000 Russians, there seems logically to follow that the function of the Roumanians is intended to be chiefly of a demonstrating character. They will do good service if they hold the Turks confront ing them while the center and left are de livering blow upon blow on the weaker sec tions of the Turkish front. Prince Mere tinsky from Lovatz detached one brigade and sent it south to Trojan to guard against trouble from that region, and to-day, Thurs day, has marched north along theroad in the direction of Plevna with three brigades.
