solved by one OF those procamati0ns for which the

Char'car1, with its usual piquancy, will soon pro-

- TIE Emperor OF all the Russias and Poland,
says this precious document, and the Protc tor OF
Moldavia and Wailachia-protecto likewise, Of all
who profess the orthodox Greek faith-has resolved
to withdraw the imperial troops from the unvhOle
| some countries Of the Danube, for very short
time to the more healthy districts of the mountains.
| The enemy--in his narr0wness OF views--has sup
posed that we were giving way, because we were
afraid Of him, and enceavored to attack us during
the march of our valiant soldiers But scarcely had
Prince Gortschako ordered his troops repulse the
enemy when he fec shamefuly abandoning his arms
and ammunition, which our troops now carry of

we will return to you in arms, to deliver You for
ever from these barbarous Turks. Our retreat will
be effected with precauton, and without precpita-
tion in order that the enemy may not suppose that
we are flying before him."

1t il worthy Of remark, now that the state of
things seems TO be progressing towards tho fulfil
ment Of the views recorded IN an admirable article
in the HERALD Of the 10th of July. In that, it is
observed THAT the occupation of the Prin- |
cipalitiss by Austria will be rather favorable
than otherwise to Russian interests, and its prac.
teal ene:t be to defeat the intention Of
the allied Powers, Of extorting material guarantees
from the Gar. Austria having obtained all that !
