report the despatch published by the Moniteur of
that morning announcing that g the whole Musco-
vite army was retiring behind the Pruth;" but
did not fail to accompany the announcement with
the statement of some considerations showing how
unlikely it was that this intelligence could be true
The official journal itself is more of my opinion
with regard to this movement OF the Russians. An
article published in the Monteur of day before yes
terday admits that this retirement is not much
retreat as new strategic operation, resolved upon
perhaps months ago, and which was begun to be
executed in the middle Of May last by the abandon
ment of Lesser Wallachia
"The decided attitude Of Austria (says the Officially

campaign, and clearly show what their ends 1t is
thus that after having hestated between Foxhani and
Jassy their centre Of operations they po
ston toward the west at Kmpna at the entrance Of the
de6e which commands the roads Of Communication be-
tween Pennsylvania and Wallacha. While abandoning,
therefore, its line of defence upon the right bank Of the
Danube, Russia is presenting to Austria face Of susp
cion and hostility. This movement Of the Russian army
upon Kmpina would not seem to strengthen the opinion
the of the Cabinet Of St. Peersburgh to the
summons Of that Of Vienna may be satisfactory"

miles from the southern frontier Of Modava ut the foot

Wallachia, and nearer to the Danube. This morning
again the Moneur itself furnishes another proof Of the

of Russian forces in Modayia and Northern Waachia
Upon faith of this despatch the Moniteur feels assured

Russians except the strong post Of Matchn Of Isaktscha
and Toultscha. The Russians fortifyng themselves

of the Dobrudscha. The Moniteur suggests that this
concentration Of troops at Poes and Kmpna has the
character of defensive attitude" with regard to Aus
tra for, says the official Kimpina commands the road
from Transyvania hungary into Waachia by the way
of Cronsadt and the pass Of Temesch This construc
ton may suit the purposes Of the French argument
which would fn represent the Gear at his wits end

against him. But if viii take the pains to regard it
from other than French point Of view and through
other than French glasses the position of the Gar looks
much more like offensive than defensive attitude

have of late abounded in proof of the charge that Rus
