MONTENEGRO.

The Austrian Correspondence of Vienna of the
27th says :—" Tranquillity is completely re-estab-
lished in Montenegro. The houses of the fugitive
insurgents of Nielopovlievich have been burned
down ; their property also has been confiscated,
and part of it has been distributed among the Mon-
tenegrins. The revolt it is now certain was prin-
cipally caused by the dismissal of the Pope Bosco-
vich, and that of a Senator, and by the unbecoming
conduct of the prinei at the Whitsun Feast. It is
not believed that the discontent has been com-
pletely appeased, and it may produce serious con-
sequences. The refugees who have arrived on the
Turkish territory are about 30 in number; they
have been well received.

THE DANUBE.
The Austrian Correspondence contradicts, on the
faith of private information which it has received,
the despatches announcing that a battle had been
fought on the Frateschti, and that the Russians
had been beaten with the loss of 2,000 men.
The Vienna Lloyd of Thursday last says :
According to telegraphic reports received this day
from Hermannstadt, the two armies took up their
old positions near Giurgevo en the 23d. Marches,
counter orders, and skirmishes between small re-
connoitring_ columns are the order of the day. The
Turks continue working at their entrenchments
near Giurgevo with unabated industry, and have
detached on the road leading thence to Daia a
strong corps of observation.
Pontoons and other boat materials are still being
sent from Bucharest to Frateschti, where they are
required for the offensive operations of the Russians.
Bridges have been thrown across the Argis at three
points, and the men were working at them as late
as the 15th of July.
General Osten Sacken is making a tour of inspec-
tion in Moldavia ; he it is who is to take, the chief
command of the army now stationed there.
In the same journal we also find the following :
—"The news from the theatre of war come down to
the 25th. Prince Gortschakoff is continuing to
fortify himself, and to receive reinforcements on
the line of the Argis. Troops, and especially en-
gineers and artillery, are being constantly sent
from, or pass through Bucharest, for that river. It
appears that the Prince will content himself with
surrounding the position at Giurgevo. He has just
ordered that the regiments and battalions which
have combated on the Bth at that place, and which
41113N4 g",) J l deal shall be replaced by others.
These troops are on the march for Bucharest, and
it is this fact which gave rise to the reported retro-
grade movement of the Russians. Letters worthy
of credit, dated Galatz the 16th, state that the re-

serves which were at Bessarabia were advancing by
forced marches towards the south, and were pro-
ceeding to Reni, Ismail, Kiliac, and Tutschkow.
The Russians fear that the auxiliary troops will
attack them in the rear, by taking the mouths of
the Danube for the basis of their operations. The
troops posted at Molesveni, near Bucharest, have
also received orders to march on Galatz, and to
arrive there by the beginning of August. The
fortifications of Galatz, Fockshan, and Tekutsch,
are being continued. The Bulgarian emigrants
arrived on the 16th at Galatz in transports ; they
are 1,500 in number. Every man has been pro-
vided with a pickaxe and a spade, and every
woman with a wheelbarrow ; and the whole are to
be conveyed by the Sereth to Lungotsch, on the
Moldavian frontiers, to be employed in making
entrenchments. Such is the brilliant lot which is
prepared for them."
