TI •c Parii Papers, received last night, continue to
publish the most deplorable accounts of the disasters
attendant on the Russians in their retreat. As these
details are mostly derived from the liftman Papers,
they are likely to be much exaggerated. An article
from Jusy states that small divisions of cavalry, with
and without horses, arrive there daily; that the roads
are in the most miserable condition; and that it ia impos-
sible to ascertain correctly the number of Russian troops
that have not been able to follow -the army, but have
been obliged to remain on the right bank of the Danube.
It is added, that Varna is crowded with sick and
'wounded; and the unfortunate inhabitants of Wallachia
(says an article in the Meuager ila Chatidires), are suf.
feting all kinds of distress and privations. Diseases
-prevail, the plague reappears, and they hate in view
only new invasions from the Turks.

contained in the German Papers received this morning :
