We have received today the Paris Papers of Mon-
day. They are of a more warlike complexion than
any that have preceded them for some time. If the
statements they contain be true, a war between Rus-
sia and Turkey is now inevitable; and what will with
difficulty be credited, it is Turkey who is most for-
ward to act on the offensive. The Turkish army in
Moldavia is said to consist already. of 60,000 men,
with 100 pieces of cannon. When all the corps on
their march to join it should have arrived, it would
amount to 150,000 combatants; and JUSSUF PACHA,
its Commander, openly boasted that he would pass
the Pruth and lay siege to Choczim, the first fortress
in Russian Moldavia. On the other hand, the Russians
had lined the right bank of the Pruth with troops and
cannon, and the Cossacks were ready with their ves-
sels to assist in defending the passage of that river.
—Four Russian divisions had already arrived in Lies'
sarabia ; the army of Volhynia was advancing by
forced marches, and even the garrison left at St. Pe-1
tersburgh, after the departure of the Guards from
that capital, was on its way towards the scene of
action. The force in Bessarabia, under General Wirr-
omisratie, was computed at 133,000 men. The
amount of that under General YERMOLOFF, on the
frontiers of Moldavia, was also very considerable.
The Greek corps stationed in Upper Moldavia had
gradually retired before the accumulating masses of
Ottoman power, and had at last crossed the Pruth
and taken post on the Russian territory, where they
had been well ieceived. The Turks had followed it
to the very verge of the boundary, where they bad
placed 12,000 men, who observed several Russian
divisions encamped within sight.
