Ru ,sia, for which the Austrian occupation Of
Mcldo- W allachia thus becomes source OF ineon-
venisnce. But the first successful step in this
direction induced the Turks to try another and
more significant move. Seeing that the Austrian
Generals behaved In Moldo-w allschia as If they
were the masters and lords of the country, il was
ntimated by the Sultan to the Emperor--aud the
English and French diplomstists supported tho
Porte--that Austria need rot exert herself moro
than was required, and since she had no inten-
ton to declare war against Russia, she should
not send more than $4,000 men, sufficient to
maintain order, in the Princpalites as the
Turkish army was ready not only to repel any
new Russian invasion of Moldo Wallacbia, but
even TO cross tie Pruth and the Danube, and to
attsck the Russians in their own province OF

IL requires but good General for the Russians
to lose Georgia before the winter, as they cannot
get renfOrcements. They are fully aware Of
their desperate position, and have retreated from
Kars, Bsyezeed and Kirtsis, falling back upon
Tihis, in spite of three great victories won over
the Turks in the course of July aud August.
As to the expedition to the Crimea, undertaken
/ at period when few stormy days might have
destroyed it, it has succeeded beyond the most
