THE AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION. OF

WALLACHIA.
VIENNA, June 20.—The entrance of Austrian
troops into Wallachia is decided. Count Doronini,
with a first division, followed by a sec ond, has
orders to keep himself in readiness to de; cend the
Danube as far as Giurgevo. M. de I ruck has
been ordered to put himself in communication with
the Porte, and come to an understandini ; respect-
ing the political and military combinat ions that
will ensue from the movement of the Austrian
army. Colonel Halik sets out for the he :ad quar-
ters of Omer Pacha, and has orders to c ommunt-
cate with the commanders of the Fre rich and
English troops.
The Russians are retiring from the ne ighbour-
hood of Silistria in a body. The retreat is being
effected from all points ,of Wallachia through
Fokschany and Birlat.

RUSSIAN TROOPS ON THE AUSI 'RIAN

FRONTIER.

The Aloniteur of yesterday contains the fo
lowing :

" FROM THE FRONTIERS OF GALLICIA, Jul rE 19.—1 t
can no longer be doubted that Russia is send ing eonsi-
tit-Table masses of troops towards the Austrian frontiers.
There is no town in the Government of Kiew which has
not a garrison. Three regiments of Guards, ju st arrived
at Kiew, have received orders to march toward s the fron-
tier of Gallica. A camp is in course of forme ition near
Dubuer.

"Accounts from Mielnica, dated June 3, state that
the Russian Government has ordered the pe Asantry to
march from the frontier and the interior of tilt a country
towards Kaminietz-Podolski, and has organized them into
a levy en masse. All holders of property and • the nobles
are compelled to furnish three Cossacks fully e quipped.
"A letter from Bottuschan, in Moldavia, d ated May
29, states that three regiments and three 1 oattalions,
3,000 men strong, and a field battery, arriv ed at that
town on the 27th, where they are to remain till further
orders.

"It is stated from Lemberg. that the sn vtll fortress
of Cholyn is well provisioned. At Luk, in V-olhynia, a
camp is to be formed.

"The localities of. Krylone and Zamosk, , wn. the Bug,
are filled with troops. In Volhynia partied] arly, and in
Podolia, there is a great movement of troop: I."

RETREAT OF THE RUSK/VI SIS.
The accounts from the neighbourhood of Silis-
tria published by the German journals are neces-
sarily anterior to the results with whi .'ch we are
already acquainted; but they show that t lie retreat-
ing movement of the Russians had beer i expected
for some time, in consequence of the h eavy losses
which the Czar's forces had sustained.
The Wanderer of Vienna of the 2:: says :
" From Bucharest to the 20th, we lead .n that not
only are the operations before Silistria suspended,
but that the Russians continue their re treat frori
Wallachia. In their own camp, the ri. unour ran
that their present movement was not caul i(?,cl by the
note from Vienna, but it had been orde e :ed some
time before that note arrived. They see t n to ex-
pect to be attacked near the mouths of the . anube ;
they are constructing three new batteries .. :on the
right bank of the Sulina, and as many on t. be left.
The troops which were at Ismail, Galat z, and
Braila have been ordered to the Crimea, which
country is expected to become the theatr e of an
active war. June 10, 80 pieces of cannon of large
calibre arrived at Varna in French transpot ts. It
is supposed that they are intended for an at rack by
land on Sebastopol. A letter from Sophia ant tounces
that Col. Dieu arrived there on the 15th to inspect
the fortifications."

LATE ATTEMPT TO BRIBE THE C OM-
MANDER OF SILISTRIA.
The Gazette of Cronstadt (Transylvania'. ) gives
the following particulars about the bribt, said to
have been offered to the first commandant ( )f Silis-
tria for its surrender :—" When Prince Paskie-
witsch arrived before Silistria, he sent a flag of
truce to Sali Pacha, commandant of the• place,
and requested an interview with that T urkish
officer. The interview took place in the pr esence
of two attaches, one of the French, the ol ;her of
the English embassy. The Prince declai •ed to
the Pacha that he had orders from the Empt ror of
Russia to take Silistria at any cost, and tha ,t con-
sequently the best thing that could be done would
be to treat at once for the surrender of the , place
rather than spill unnecessary blood. At the ) same
time the Prince looked hard at the Pacl3.: t; and
made some equivocal, but almost imper ce -ptible
movement with his fingers. Sali Pacha undtm ;toot],
perfectly well, that he would be well paid.-fi u. the
surrender. But nothing of this had esc:a,pH Id the
two attaches, who immediately informe d Omer
Pacha. Before 24 hours had elapsed a nether
Pacha was in command of the place, 33 amely,
Mussa, Pacha, who declared to Prince i ?askie-
wits* in a second interview, that if t he latter
had received orders to take Silistria at ni ly cost,
he, Mussa Paella, had orders to defend i .ct at any
cost. Thus the negotiations were broke] c Qff."

CONSTANTINOPLE.
JUNE 15.—Troops continue to arrive an cl depart,
and these events are the only ones wl iir h now
break the monotony of inquietude and di is( comfort
which prevails in the capital. At the : present
moment all other subjects are in abeyant 3e. Of
political news there is none, and the actual z nilitary
movements on, the Danube and in Ask are of
slight importance compared with the prei is rations
for the great struggle which the Western. ;:Powers
are about to commence.
Prince Napoleon has returned to Constar itinople
and re-established himself in his old quaff ters
the Bosphorus. The third division of the ?French
army, which is under his command, will k,e re-
viewed to-morrow, togetherwith the new reg. in cents
which are daily arriving from Gallipoli. Ong r s .11ibs
are making what haste they can ; but fr, . the
want of transports they can effect but little ii i the
way of a speedy conveyance of troops. In t hi s re-
spect at least we stand above them, and the 1 ;Om-
plaints of their men are loud when they see our
troops moving majestically along in magni 5 cent
steamers, while their own are crowded in s ome
narrow frigate, followed by little queer-100 king
brigs which seem surprised at the speed whicl. i they
attain in tow of the steam-frigates to which • they
are attached.
The Duke of Cambridge's division, compare d of
the Fusilier, Grenadier, and Coldstream G'ui irds,
left yesterday for Varna, in the steamers Ca m .bria,
Andes, Himalaya, Golden Fleece, Trent, Em tp eror,
Hydaspes, and City of London. The Himali 'a re-
turns froM Varna to-day, and leaves on Mo; iday
direct.fer England, taking passengers and lot ters.
The Sidon left on Sunday fortho Black Sea, to; ving
a vessel loaded with provisions for the fleet. A
Supply of clean shirts for the officers was, probably,
on board ;at least, it is the practice of those gal (ant
persons to send their linen to be washed at the e api-
tal—a degree ofluxury. which would h ave. astons lied '
Hood or Jervis. General Bosquet, commani 'ling
the 2d division of the French army, has arrive 1 at
Adrianople, attended by the officers of ' staff
and 20 dragoons. He was received by :?;,n; ;tem
Pasha, all the officers of the palace, the m en fibers
of the Council, and the more important per sal rages
of the place, such as the • Greek Archbisl mop, the
Chief Rabbi, and their respective clerg y. The
General was estatlished in the old castle, a oar the
