Private letters from Vienna, dated the evening of
the 14th, mention that it was positively asserted
that Galatz and Ibraila had been attacked by the

-The following are the terms, in Which the Sul-
tan expressed to the Divan his resolution of plac-

the zeal and enthusiasm of my troops, upon the
devotion and fidelity of kny functionaries; senti-

ceased, on the occasion of all the preparations that

occasions ; and may all those who contribute to the

they have found their way to Constantinople, and
that they were determined that they should be im-

winter navigation of the Black Sea is so difficult
that it would be a service of danger, to which it
might be imprudent to expose the fleets without
