HE RELATIVE FORCES OF RUSSIA AND
TURKEY IN THE FIELD.
From the London Chronicles, nov 10]
The reports which have hitherto been received Of
e strength OF the Russian force in Wallachia are
o conflicting and too uncertain to supply ground
any confident anticipation as to the immediate
suit Of the campaign. The statements which have
ZEN published vary from one hundred and fifty
oussnd to seventy thousand mel and it is not even

accurate, but, to q certain extent, they furnish

ar Oltenitza. It is oddly stated, in an &C

on the left bank Of the river. The battle is re-
esented as commencing as soon as they had crossed
