only at break Of day he found in their camp
the annexed letter, addref1ed to this Baihaw by
NJ. RodoIinllin.
General Michclfon has fallen back with his
forces beyond the Siret, leaving only towards
buchareit rear guard of light troops, ported
behind Argis and Dombowitz.
All com punicasion is forbidden to the inha
bitants that thefe retrogade iteps may not I've
known. 1t is difficult TO form an idea of the
chagrin OF the partizans of the RuiJians in Wal
'achia. Several OF the principal Boyards and
or the Greek clergy are JULY accuftd ofhaving
tavoured the Ruiiians. The Others faid 10 them,
in refining to take arms" AS long as the En-.

any confidence"
The Walachians who have taken the part
OF the Ruiiians, fy away on all lides. Many

upon the faith of your Emperor, and you absn-

cours, and none have arrived You however
knew that you were not able to maintain your
ground with the few troops which you had here.
why then did you excite US on to deliver us up
to an enemy, who DO not pardon TO expofe us
to the vengeance of our irritated foyereipn
Unfortunate that we are, we have forgotten the
ADVICE OF our fathers. They had told us that
you Dad acted thus many time that we can

The check which the Rufians have fuRained
before FINAL, previous to the arrival of the
Grand Vi;ir, lea, es fluff cieut TO conjecture
whether they are able to reGft him. The tax.
ing OF ismai is the principal point of their plan.
he numerous checks they have futained with
in three months, before thar place, are of great
coniequence TO the Porte who will derive great
advantages from them. The army of Michel.
fon is Of a number inferior to 90 600 men. He
has not found in WaIlachia all the en;buGAfm
and aiiiitance which he expected. The fucceG

this objectionable iufurreeton is rfcarried o.
Pera'ion by the RufIians, who have facdfced

Ruiia, is for her the fource of great msfor-
tune.
The Bailaw of Widen began his march the
