ANOTHER RUSSIAN " TE DEUM."

A letter from Warsaw of the 15th, in the Con-
stitutionnel, says :—" Yesterday and to-day a Te
Deum was sung in all our churches on the occasion
of a great victory obtained over the Allies in the
Crimea by the Russians. Where was the battle
fought, and when ? No one knows. But what is
positive is, that the great victory was yesterday
feted by our garrison."

A letter from Odessa of the 11th, in the Lloyd
of Vienna, states that Prince Gortschakoff has re-
turned to that port, after taking all the necessary
measures at Bender for a vigorous resistance in
case the Turks should cross the Danube and in-
vade Bessarabia. The fortresses of Reni, Ismail,
and Kilia are said to be garrisoned with 20,000
men each. The garrison of Kazul is to be doubled,
and the whole line of the Pruth is receiving strong
reinforcements. Prince Menschikoff is severely
blamed for having abandoned Sebastopol to its fate
and gone to Perekop. Ile is stated, however, to
be on his way again to Simpheropol with General
Osten-Sacken, in order to attack the Allies. What
appears certain, says the Lloyd, is that up to the
7th General Osten-Sacken had not yet commenced
his march to Simpheropol, and that only 10,000 men,
under General Kotumoir, had advanced towards
the south on a reconnaissance.

The Kalisch correspondent of the Lloyd writes,
that when tho concentration of the Guards shall
have been completed there will be no less than
176,000 troops, including 16,000 cavalry, not far
from the Austro-Gallician frontiers. They con-
sist of 12 regiments of infantry of the first in-
fantry corps, 48,000 men ; eight regiments of the
second infantry corps, 32,000 men ; 48,000 foot
guards, and 32,000 grenadiers. The cavalry con-
sists of the first and second light divisions, the
cavalry division of the guard, and the seventh light
cavalry division belonging to the grenadier division,
each division numbering 4,000 men. The reserve
brigades in Poland are not included in this esti-
mate.

Russian intelligence from the Crimea via Odessa,
reaches to the 12th, and • via Constantinople up to
the Bth. Several sallies had been made from the
northern forts of Sebastopol to annoy the right
wing of the allies, but nothing of importance had
occurred. The fortified camp of the Allies is con-
sidered impregnable, and the redoubts are armed
with 200 cannon. There were already 136 guns
mounted in the batteries in the first parallel. From
the same source we learn that Ismail Pacha intends
removing the Kars army to Erzeroum, in order to
reorganise it. Lieut.-General Uschakoff occupies
the fords of the Danube at Tultscha with 12,000
men.

Letters from Constantinople by the City of Lon-
don state that on the 10th the fire had not been
opened against Sebastopol, but that the operations
would go on rapidly, it having been found that the
south wall is not banked up on the inside. The
besieged begin to be in want-of provisions, in con-
sequence of the reinforcethents introduced into the
place after the battle of the Alma.
Two daring reconnaissances have been executed
by Admiral Bruat ; one in the day, when he went
close to the walls with 400 sailors. A shower of
the enemy's balls fell among them, but no one was
hurt. The other was made at night, and had for
object to sound the passage between the vessels
sunk by the Russians.

THE WAR ON THE DANUBE.
A letter in the Lloyd from Galatz, of the 11th,
states that several regiments of the army of Bessa-
rabia who were on their way for the Crimea have
received counter orders, the preparations of Omer
Pacha having made Prince Gortschakoff seriously
uneasy. On the 6th 300 Russians crossed the
Danube, to make a reconnaissance between Tult-
scha and Isatscha. They were attacked by 250
Turks, and forced back across the river. The island
of the Danube in front of Galatz has been occupied
for several days by the Turks.
A letter from Bucharest; of the Bth states that
Omer Pacha has caused his troops bound for the
Dobrudscha to proceed by forced marches. Up to
the present time there have arrived there, or are
on their march, the division of the Ferick Ismail
Pacha, 10,000 strong ; the Stamboul guard, under
Hassan Pacha ' • and lastly, the Turkish guard
newly organised, forming the advance guard. All
the winter quarters which wero to 1 e established
on the Danube have been countermanded.

A correspondent writes from Ibraila, under
date of the Bth inst. :—" Although the Russians
have recrossed the Pruth, there is still a consider-
able number of them in the Dobrudscha ; they
occupy Tultscha, Isatchka, and Matschin. The
concentration of a strong division of the Ottoman
troops, which is being effected at this moment, as
also the extensive military works which are just
now being completed at divers points of the Sereth,
lead us to suppose that the Turks intend to pass
into Moldavia with a view of attempting a diver-
sion into Bessarabia. The Austrian garrison has
withdrawn from this place. The cavalry has marched
to Buseo, and the infantry to Galatz. Yesterday these
Austrian troops were replaced by the regiment of
Ottoman Cossacks, commanded by Zadyk Pacha.
To-day Joussouf Pacha made his entry into our
town at the head of four squadrons of Lancers and
a field-battery. These troops were exceedingly
well reo?ivecl by the population, a portion of whom
went out to meet them.
