RUSSIAN TROOPS ON THE AUSTRIAN

FRONTIER.

Letters from Lemberg, of the 18th, state that
Russia continues to send considerable troops to-
wards the Austrian frontier. There is not a single
town in the Government of Kiew that has not a
garrison. A camp has been established near Dub-
net-. Three regiments of the guards which had re-
cently arrived at Kiew have received orders to
proceed to the frontieri of Gallicia.

CONVENTION FOR THE OCCUPATION OF
THE PRINCIPALITIES BY AUSTRIA.
The entry of the Austrians into the Principalities
is decided on, and Count Coronini, with the first
division, to be followed closely by a second, is ready
to descend the Danube to Giurgevo, whence he
will march to Bucharest. M. de Bruck is to com-
municate with the Porte as to the steps necessary
to be taken with a view to this occupation of the
Principalities by the Austrians.

The following, accorolii;g to the Independance of
Brussels, are the essential points of the convention
signed on the 14th, at Constantinople, for the occu-
pation of the Danubian provinces by Austrian
•
troops :

" If the reply of the Russian Cabinet be negatived,
the Austrian army will be ready to immediately carry
into execution the threat contained in the summons, by
entering the principalities by the left bank of the
Danube. The Porte permits it, and Austria engages to
do it. Such is the general spirit of the treaty. As to
its special conditions, the Austrian Cabinet takes as its
starting-point the independent existence of the Otto-
man territory, and the balance of power in Europe.
It recapitulates the principles laid down by the Con-
ference of Vienna, with the common accord of the
four Powers who gook part in that conference, and
declares itself ready to use all the force at its
disposal to carry out the object of that concert. The
Emperor of Austria, in consequence, pledges himself
towards the Sultan to employ the troops necessary to
obtain the evacuation of the Danubian Principalities
by the Russian army, in the event of the summons ad-
dressed to Russia to that effect remaining unattended
to. While reserving to himself the direction of the
operations of his army for the common good, the
Austrian Commanders-in-Chief will nevertheless inform
the Turkish General-in-Chief of his combinations and
his movements._ On entering the principalities, the
Austrian army will re-establish the former governmentwithin the limits of the rights accorded by the Porte
to the country. Austria will not treat for peace with
guaranteed,Russia except

TH E BRITISH EXPEDITION TO THE EAST.
We find the following in a Varna letter of June

9 :
" VARNA, Friday, June 9.—On Monday morning, at
three o'clock, the Light Division of the British army,
commanded by Sir George Brown, and consisting of the
7th, 19th, 23d, 33d, 77th, and 88th Regiments, with
part of the Bth Hussars, the 17th Lancers, and a por-
tion of a battery of artillery consisting of four guns attached,reommenced its march from this by striking tents
and getting baggage in readiness, and after breakfast
proceeded on their way to their new encampment
be-
tween Kojuk and Devna (called in some of the maps
.Dewnes). The infantry baited on a plain about nine
miles and a half from the town of Varna, close to a, fresh-
water lake, but the cavalry and artillery continued their
march, and pitched tents attlie village of Devna, which is
about 18 miles from Varna, the route being through a rich
and fertile country, perfectly deserted and lifele,-s—net a
house, not a human creature to be seen along the whole
line of march. A thick scrub, said to abound in game
of various kinds, covers the country towards Devna, and
the district is rich in v ried scenery of a sober agricultu-
ral character. The vicinity of the lake insures a supply
of water, which can be rendered available by boiling and
other promises for (Ally household or teut use, and the
labours of the military an have been already
