THE DANUBE.

From Vienna, under date of yesterday, we learn
that the vanguard of Luders' left wing was at
Kalniga on the 13th.
The Russians, turning the position at Rassova,
suffered immensely'.
The Wanderer of the 15th has the following
KALAFAT, MAY 6.—The day before yesterday six
squadrons of Turkish Cossacks and five of Turkish
Hussars had an engagement with the Russian Cos-
sacks near Radovan. The affair lasted three hours,
and ended with the total defeat of the latter. After
the second charge the Russians were in complete
disorder, and quitting their horses took refuge in
a large thicket. Sixty horses fell into the hands of
the Turks. As I learn from a major who is lying
ill hero, the Russians had 138 killed and 12
wounded. The latter, with two guns, were brought
in here. The Turks had ten killed and two wounded.
At present the Russians are beyond the Schyl,
about two English miles and a half from Kr ijova,
and news of fresh rencontrei is daily expected."
Advices from Bucharest, dated May 8, state
that Prince Paskiewitsch has again left for the
Danube. An attack by water and by land is about
to be made, under his direction, on Silistria. For
some days past transports of sick and wounded
from Little Wallachia have passed through that
city. Many of these men are conveyed in pea-
sants' waggons drawn by oxen, as the Russians
have not ambulances enough. After resting one
day here, these sick and wounded are sent on to
Buseo, Plojetchti, Rimnik, and Tekutch.
The Hospodar has placed Servia in a kind of
state of siege. On the 4th and sth there were
very serious affairs at Giurgevo, with great loss on
botn sides. No particulars are known. A German
officer, who wrote on the 30th of April from Odessa,
states that the damage done by the allied fleets
was tremendous, and probably far surpasses the
reports which have been sent in by the assailants.
It is reported that on the 4th of May the strand-
batteries at the Salina, mouth of the Danube were
completely destroyed.

GREECE.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TURKS
BURNED ALIVE.

The ill oniteur publishes the following :

"SYlll.—Piracy is making fresh progress in the Greek
seas. The new impu se which the loudly a owed com-
plicity of the Greek Government has given to the in-ur-
rection only encourages acts of brigandage. Bands,
recruited amongst the dregs of the population, ann pro-
' vided with papers perfectly regular delivered by the
Greek Government itself, infest the Archipelago in fish-
ing vessels, attacking indistinctly vessels of all nations.
The commercial people of Smyrna are in great alarm at
this state of things, and it is announced that special and
energetic in6asures are about to be taken to re-establish
the security of navigation in the Arch pelago.
" ATHENS.—The three Generals appointed to reor.
ganise the Greek insurrection have left, taking with
them not 200,000 drachmas (the drachma, is 90 centimes),
as we at first mentioned, but 600,000. The piratical
policy followed by the Greek Government with regard
to Turkey has already cost two millions. The volun-
tory subscriptions have only amounted to 180,000
drachmas, o.nd the receipts of the Treasury for the month
of March was, produced throughout the whole kingdom
600,000 drachmas. Nevertheless all the services are
duly paid up. It is useless to seek to establish what
the Emperor of Russia so clearly avows in his circular
of the 2d March. It may be considered as certain that
that Prince furnishes a military subsidy to the Greek
Government. This subsidy appears to be one million of
drachmas."

" FRONTIERS OF MACEDONIA.—This province is said
to have been invaded by a band of Greek adventurer; to
the nuMber of 2,000, having at their head Sh-nni•Kara-
tasso, ex-aide-de-camp of the King of Greece. According
to the same information, 500 Greeks are said to have
lauded at Sigga, wh►le the remainder of tie expedition
proceeded to Saint Nicolo. Toe Greeks have marked

their presence in Macedonia, as they have done in Epi-
rus and Thessaly, by unheard-of acts of brigandage.
They are said to have burnt alive 150 Turks, men, woe
men, and children, who at their approach had taken re-
fuge in a church."
