nubc. II will be seen by an article N the
Gazette DR. France of Sunday, under the head
of ConsianinoDle, ard which is extracted from
the Austrian Observed, that Turkish force
was also marching on Choumla; and though
its amount i not stated, we may safely inier
from the activity of the government and the
enthusiasm Of hr nation, that II was al ieas'
equal TO that Of the Russians.

In fact, they seem 10 fight no longer Tor glo-
ry and conquest, but to maintain their present
positions, 10 which the possession OF Varna is
indispensable, and should they ia'' in this, they
would, in all probability, br obliged to rema-
sure their steps, and take up their winter quar-
tiers in Wallachia; To show how li'lle the Sui
