rived at Marseilles, to take on board the Amer
ican minister to Tunis. The Saranac attracted

sued by the queens troops. However, fact
has come to light which may suggest the pro-
priety of pausing until the affair be really ter.

The WAR.-The French and English troops
we're continuing to concentrate themselves be-
tween Yarna and Shnmla. with their advanced
posts at Sarigheul. On 22d June the allied
force arrived, numbered $4,000 men, and the
division Of General Forey and about 1000
English left at Gallipoli, were still 10 come up.
The general movement Of the Russian armies
from north TO south, is in consequence OF an
order recently given by the car, who has little
to fear this year for his Baltic provinces, as it
is now evident that the French forces assemb-
ling at st. Omer cannot be embarked before
August, consequently they could not be in
fighting order on the Baltic coast before Octo-
Der, which will be too late to commence cam
paign. Russia has therefore been able to re-
move her armies from the Baltic provinces and
Lithuania, and TO concentrate them in Podolia
and on the Pruth, with their front towards
Turkey and Austria. The troops ordered to
the south take their way partly by Warsaw and
Lublin, and partly through Lithuania and Vol
hynia, and are concentrated ON the Pruth and
in the neighborhood of Kamienitz spot which
in strategic point Of view is extremely advan-
tageous. The reserve is posted at Kamienitz,
in the form Of a semi-circle, and as roads
branch off in all directions, reinforcements can
easily be sent to any part Of the theatre of war
Kamienitz is also the pivot Of operations for
the armies that now menace Austria. ,ao e
