Past in slow and quick time, as though all were
Sunshine above them. Lord Stratford de Etedcliffe
was to have been there, but came too late, having
been detained by important affairs. About 9,000
bayonets were in the field. After having marched
Past the Grand Seraskier, the army was formed into
contiguous columns at quarter distance, squares
were formed, and a few simple evolutions gone
through;
after which they were drawn into a line,
which extended to fully a mile and a quarter. It was
a glorious sight to see so noble an array of British
_bayonets on Turkish soil. After the review, Gen,
Evans entertained his distinguished guests at lun-
cheon. On the return of the troops to their quar-
,ters, it was really amusing to stroll through the
tong corridors of Scutari barracks, and see the in-
genious contrivances of both officers and men for
urying their drenched uniforms.

VARNA.
4.4113 The crossing of the Danube, on the 24th ul-
°) by the Russians has had a much
greater effect on the mind of the Turks than
Probably could have been anticipated by those
:17110 knew them best. From Omer Pacha down to
the Turkish peasant, every one is on the look-out
for the French and English armies. Many of the
°facers of the Turkish army, and all the soldiers,
.are at a loss to account for what they consider the
tl •
backwardness and want of activity on the part of
commander. The Danube was looked upon by
t"era as a barrier, which, once passed, their country
Would be overcome, their towns besieged, and their
Villages in flames. The prestiges won at Oltenitza
A
Csitate made them feel capable of defending
;11°11 a barrier for a very lengthened period, if not
have
ever. Now, that is all over. The Russians
been permitted to take their batteries at
B..tliltscha and Matschin. The Cossacks have already
uvanced to the south of the Karassu, to a village
called Jenikoi. The inhabitants of the Doubrutscha
have fled, and beg for admission into their strong
c" ; and nothing remains now but to make
st g°°(l fight behind walls. The Turk is not a
rategic animal,though occasionally clever—or,
?ore correctly, cunning. He does not see that
sTra the beginning the Dobrutscha was indefen
,Inle; that it would have been the height of mad-
f'oesa to dispute the passage of the river with any
!co. The inhabitants of theDobrudscha are mostlyrefugee Tartars and Cossacks—with, of course, Bul-
garians and Turks intermingled. They have packed
and baggage on their carts, and may now be
beeu bY we
villages on the roads in the neigh-
tOr.,hood of Schumla and Varna. The women,
.11 and young calves are packed into carts,
the household utensils and provisions. The
droves
and boys ride ponies or walk, driving large
h-r,"" of cattle befme them—either bullocks,
a-rsee, or sheep. The Tartars, who appear to have
eltural failing in the way of cattle-lifting, pro-,
„eQ_, by the general panic to drive their neighbours
ciill'aurilpeds. They succeeded in their enterprise
tb?st wonderfully. The extent of it was some. -
)411?g astonishing. Colonel Neale, her Britannic
reaiestY's consul at Varna, wrote to Omer Pacha,
commendingB,, him to try and cut them off. A
r.:411 party of cavalry was sent, and succeededin
°ring 10,000 head. Basal dschik, a town of
la"ma std
Cerable importance, is completely empty—
Oiling has been left but the four walls of each
ule ; and most of the villages in the neighbour-
Q°°°. up to the Karassu are in the same condition.
eneral Bosquet, with two aides-de-camp, arrived
at
chlimla on the 20th, and on the follow-
g ,uaY paid a visit to Omer Pacha. He ap-
pears to be a man of great energy, and just the one

ST. PETERSBURG.
nA•ltecording to advices from St. Petersburg of the
"4 a vast camp will be formed at Kaminietz, in
Podolia, near the Gallician frontier, and a power-
e°rPs assembled on the left bank of the Dniester.

°PERATIONS IN THE PRINCIPALITIES.
t The last accounts from Bucharest says it is
thought
that Prince Paskiewitsch considers it in-
dispensable to defend that place at any cost. The
Works on the fortifications are, however, suspended
'.°l' the present. It is now proposed to attack
Silistria by water.
The Press, of Vienna, of the 6th, says
rs
Lette from the Danube inform us that all the
-P
3 d'armee of General Osten Sacken has en-
tered into Wallachia ; the force there is estimated
at 80,000 men. A division of the Turkish fleet bad
v 4rri ed at Varna from Constantinople to blockade
the port of Odessa, whilst the united fleets went
towards Sebastopol. Vessels were constantly arriv-
ing from Constantinople with provisions and ammu-
nition for the army of the Balkans. The commandof
41din and that of Kalafat are to be coucentratedin
the hands of one general. All the Turkish troops
are on the march towards the Aluta. The Rus-
,'atals are on the other bank, and occupy Rimorik.
The redoubts established by the Turks on the road
rata itossowa to Silistria have been attacked by
a
advanced guard of Luder's corps, but without
i,,'sceess• The bombardment of Silistria is continu-
Tgs-50 houses have already been destroyed by the

t04:14e Corriere Italiano of Vienna of the same

th- evacuate Great Wallachia arose from the fact
leat,en arriving at Fokschani, Prince Paskiewitsch
e-s("ed to make changes in the plan of

they with pleasure divide their forces ; they would
ordil retire, and would even abandon Bucharest in
