begun in earnest.
1t is confirmed that the Russians had cross
ed the Danube in great force, the object being
to strike decisive blow before the arrival OF
the4Anglo- French force.
On the 23d, q Russian detachment under
Prince Gortschakotf, forced the passage Of the
Danube above Iultcha and captured II guns,
200 prisoners, and occupied Tultcha and sew
eral forts ON the right bank.

parations for the scige OF AIatschin.
f'rultcha and Matschin are both near the
mouth of the Danube, the former being about
opposite IsTnal, i'll Bessarabia. and the latter
opposite Ibrail i'll Moldayia. Neither is oser
one hundred miles from the mouth of the
Danube. Oltenitza is about LOO miles, and
Kalafat some three hundred miles above Mat
schin.

cross the Danube at Oltenitza, whena desper-
ate battle ensucd, and the Russians were re-
pulsed. The carnage was dreadful. The Rus
slams lost 5000 men. The Turks wers them
selves so badly cut up that they hadto return
to their entertainments.

have effected passage at three points.

menced to cross the Danube, Omar Pasha had
intended to attack the Russian head quarters
at Poana, but the Russian movement discon-
certed the plan.

says: "Ihc Russians have lost all desire of at
lacking Kalalat, aud propose crossing the Dam
ube at other points. II they should really do
SO, they would render me great service by
enabling me to give a sound chastisement to
these barbarians, who have broken into our
house like robbers. But if the Russians do
not resume the offensive, / shall undertake
nothing important until the arrival of our re-
serves and cavalry From tie above, it
