LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1853,

Gradually we are getting nearer the truth as
to the actual course of the warlike operations in
Moldo-Wallachia. As we antilcipated in our re-
marks yesterday, the Turkish army has not been
compelled to retreat. across the Danube—having
only retired for reasons of strategy or from simply
prudential considerations. It must not be over-
looked, moreover, that the fate of the campaign
does not necessarily require to. be decided in the
vicinity of Oltenitza. It is not in that quarter
alone that the troops of the SULTAN have taken
up a position formidable to their Russian antago-
nists. So far is this from being: the case, that the
principal portion of the Turkish armament crossed
the Danube much higher up than Turtukai—
indeed as near to the point where Servia, Walla-
chia, and Banat are as contiguous as Widdin, and
this with a view to command Krajova, and, by
commanding Krajova, to prevent the Russians
from withdrawing into the Austrian dominions
and seeking shelter in the fastxiesses of Transyl-
vania. A division alone crossed the Danube be-
tween Turtukai and Oltenitza, thereby threatening
theWallachian capital, Buchareet. Meantime, so
adroit
and well-considered were the tactics of
OMER, PACHA, that simultaneously with the pas-
sage effected by the main body of his army at
Widdin, and of admission at Oltenitza, a third
portion of h:s soldiery crossed over to the
left bank of the Danube in. the vicinity of
Braila, effectually cutting of by that means
the Russian line of communication with the
Moldavian territories. Nevertheless, although
the main body of the Turks accomplished the
passage at Widdin, and although another part of
the SULTAN'S army, by establishing itself lower
down the river at Braila, interrupted the Rus-
sians, as we have shown, in the direction of Mol-

No wonder, that, after this initiatory victory on
the part of the Turkish forces, the general atten-
tion was diverted, for a whiLe at least, from
Braila and from Widdin, and concentrated almost
exclusively upon Oltenitz?. Indeed so important
did the events occurring in this quarter appear to
be in the estimation of the Russian Commander-
in-Chief, that his head-quarters were forthwith
established not far from Kopaksen, at a place
situated on the road from Oltentitza to Bucharest,
and known as Butesschtei. Thither all his avail-
able troops have been hastily gathered together,
