1t remains to be ascertained whethsr the whole Rus
sian army ordered to retreat within the Russian
frontiers, or whether they propose to occupy and
defend the line OF the Moldavian rivers from Folks
cDani to Birat and Jasy, where they nave previous
~ established fiedworks and extensive magazines.
II is aIso uncertain whether they will retain aban-
don the forts Of Hinova, Mstschin, Isaktchs,
and qultscha, On the Bulgarian shore OF the
Danbue, which are important because they at
ford the means of passing the river at the points
nearest to Brailow and Galatz. There IL, OF
course, wide distinction between q retrest for
the purpose of concentrating the army on its base
OF operations. and Of giving It new strategical
objection, and retreat surrendenng the whole ter
rit0rJ in dispute. 1t must. however, be borne in
mind that as the Russian army, though repulsed,
has not been routed, add will ~ receive consi-
derabe achievements, its future operations will
require for some time the utmost vigilance on the
part OF Turkey and her allies. On this account, es-
peciauy, the presence Of an Austrian corps In the
territory which separates the two belgerents is Of
Importance IL covers Turkey from further attack.
and II relieves 0mer Pacha from the danger Of
extending his forces over the Moldo- Wallachian
plains which arc not so easy to defend the lines
Of the Danube and the Balkan.
In pursuance Of the treaty signed between Aus
tria and the Porte on the l4th inst, there Is now
little doubt that the Austrian forces will enter the
PI!ncps!ities to reestabllsh the legal government
Of the country, which was overthrown by the Rus
sian invasion. Indeed, we are informed by the
MoMifnp that Count Coronini will at once descend
the Danube to Giurgeve with1is DIVISION under the
authority OF the Porte. and it is probable that
similar movement will be made on the frontier Of
Moldavia. Should the Russian army have with.
drawn altogether within its own territories, aban-
doning the entire line of operations in both the
Principalities, the Austrians will hold temporary
possession Of the country for the Porte in to
prevent recurrence of the late disastrous invasion
and in that case, without declaring war. Austria
would have sncceedad in obtaining the principal and
| immediate object Of her demands
AS Tar Ms thc dciencc turkey is concerned, she
would then be in position to prevent even the pos
sibility Of renewal Of the attack in Europe and
80 far the first condition of the protocols OF Vienna
would 70 .tained. But it remains to be seen what
are the political intentions of Russia in submitting
TO make these retrograde movements whether they
are designed to concentrate her powers Of resist
ance and to prolong the war, or as practical ad-
mi sion OF the terms proposed before the war by
the Vienna conference, in the hope of dividing the
counscs Of the four Powers. Nothing u.s. in reali-
ty, secured or effected until Russia wthdraws her
unjust demands on Turkey, and consents to peace
with that Power which may deserve the confidence

Russia has failed in htr attack on the Ottoman
empire, and failed In q manner which covers her
with disgrace. Her diplomatic intngues have
ended in depriving her Of the allisnce and support
of every European Power; and her military preps-
| rations, which were announced upon scale Of un-
preccdented magnitude have been defeated by
CT third rate strength and importance But
she relies on her powers Of resistance far more than
| on her powers Of attack, and, when thrown alto
gether upon the defensive, she hopes to wcury out
| and exhansr the perseverance and the power of
Europe. For this reason, although she may have
reDounced her rash enterprise upon Turkey, and re-
| called her troops from the Danube, ii is by no
means the more probable that she contemplates a
speedy termination of these hostilites by submitting
70 the terms on which alone peace can be reestab-
1 Hyhed and secured.
| These considerations cannot fail to have great
| weight with the Austrian government in determn-
ing the course it may resolve to pursue if the eva
cuation Of the Principaties Is rendered to it by
Russia in satisfaction Of her demands Such state

missblc oyertures Of peace on the part of Russia

belligeients. II would exhaust Turkey by the
enormous exertlons she i compelled to make for

Emperor OF Russia has thrown the relations OF AL
