Notwithstanding the bombardent Of Odessa which Is rep

France and England has undergone great change
probable and immediate Of their armies in the East
The feelings OF exatation with which the alliance between
the two nations naturally greeted mingled with
much anxiety The report that Omar preparing
take the offensive before the arrival Of the British
and French armies not believed by any His

troops have arrived from France and England with

between the two governments amounting 600
men, viii not be in position of military efficiency for

activity and energy which it possible forwarding
supplies OF all kinds The Russians have therefore, the great
element OF time in their favor The plan Of operations nd

Russians themselves Having crossed the Danube great

Russia desire to gain brilliant advantages, under
the prestige Of which he might be willing to make peace
terms honorable to Russia, and may believe that the
allies under the influence of his victories might agree to

dishonor to entertain, for msmcn This must be
well known in Russia France and England and the pas
of the Danube by the Russian army must therefore, be
bold stroke for the destruction the combined armies
and the conquest and possession Of Turkey and its capital
The combined squadrons in the Black sea- whilst they would
be OF great service in furnishing supplies and safe retreat
to portion of the armies Of their respective countries,
could never of their act prevent such disaster for
they are powerful only their element. When the
Russians cross the Balkans Austria remaining neutral their
situation will be like that Of the Americans when General
Scott from Pueba plunged them the valley of Mexico

position between the Balkans and Conantnople the
bned fleets and transports would land troops in their
front and rear and on their left flank whilst their line
OF operations would be too long to allow of timely reinforce

reinforcements, which the allies positively deny. The Rus
