The quantity Of old tobacco remaining the Cumber
land river is pretty well ascertAned not to exceed 5000
hhds, and the Ohio 5000 hhds that the entire

must fall short of 10000 hhd as good deal will be
qured for manufacturing purposes at home. This is
great falling of compared with the receipt of IS 60 hhds

augments and its rapidity diminishes, but it pre-
serves speed of league an hour. Some leagues
from Silstria the river makes great bend to-.
wards the North as far Galatz, where it resumes
its easterly direction, until it discharges again in
to the Black Sea. Leaving Silistria; the first
town whichwe meet is the town of Rassova,
where the passage of the river is impractical on
account of the marshes on the left bank, which
are fed by the waters the Bertscha. 1t is twelve
leagues from Rassova to the port of Kustendje,
fortified town. Further on we find the small for
tress of Hirsova, under the guns of which, in
time of peace, there is bridge Of boats. From
this point to the mouths>of the Danube vast low
and marshy plain extends, having in it numerous
lakes The communications between the towns,
and villages is Kept up by means of some very
bad roads, but the country is fertile.
The forts Of Matchnn, Isatch and Tou1tcha,
near the mouths OF the Danube, are rather posts,
OF observation than fortified places They serve
to keep watch over the opposite bank, to protect
the Turkish fotillas-and, in case of need, to fire
on the Russian vessels.
Many persons appear to expect every morning
news of the passage of the Danube by the Rus
SLAMS or the Turks, but the whole of the Danubi-
an country is impracticable durisg the winter, and
must be during the present autumn, if the season
lis wet there as it has been in Central Europe
The alluval soil is easily broken up by the rains.
The roads and routes, not being we'll kept up,
are, in bad weather, nothing but mud. All trans
ports of commerce by land, which in the dry
season are very active between Varna and Ruts-
chuk, absolutely cease. Then, an army can no
more maneuver in the country, through the i'm
possibility of carrying with it its artillery and
necessary baggage. The irregular cavalry ofthe
Turks and the Cossacks of the Russians are the
only troops which can then keep the field. In the
proceeding campaigns the Russians have always
withdrawn into their cahtonments in Wallachia,
ever raising the seiges which they may have COM
menced, and leaving behind them only some Co.'S
sack scouts and garrsons in the -despontS.-g
The Danube before it is divided to form its delta,
has a width of about 1000 yards, which is broken
up by little islands. 1t is frozen almost every
year. Wallachia and Bulgaria, although situated
under the latitude of Provence and Tuscany, are
subject to extremely rigorous winters. not being
sheltered from the glacial northeast wind which
blows directly upon them from the vast steppes
of Russia and the plateaux of Upper Asia. The
frost lasts from the month of December to the
month of March, and the country at the thaw is
more mpractcable than ever. s. =
