FROM sL1sTRIA, 8s
Our last news from the seat of war is of the;
Goth Of jane. The Turks are so completely
masters Of that part Of the right bank OF the
Danube which ID In front of Silistria, that they
have posted their guns on the works constructed
by the besiegers against them. The report Of
the death Of Gen Schilders. which was in cir
culation ON the 18th at Bucharest, is now con-
tradicted, hut be is in great danger, second

that symptoms of gangrene having appeared On

informed that the Russians had been obliged TO
eyacuate two Of the islands opposite silistria,
and the news is confirmed. 1t is reported that
Prince Menschikotf has been appointed -ddtatsts
to Prince Paskiewitch and commander OF the
troops In Wallachia, and, should this prove to
be correct it is perhaps, under the circumstan-
ces, the severest punishment that could be in
fiicted on him.
BY adyices Of the 18th from Galatz We learn
that the Russians are withdrawing with all
speed from the Dobrudscha to the fortresses at
Tultscha, Isaktcha and Matschin; but, if the
Two Austrio- Russian organs, the Soiddfen
Freu,ad and the Frenlden Blatt, are to be be-
lieTed, even these important positions will
eventually be relinquished, Prince Gortschakoff
having got notice on the 10th to hold himself
prepared, ON receiving orders, to retire with the
whole Of the troops to the Pruth." From the
same source we learn that Omar Pacha has been
ordered not to enter the Prineipalities should
the Russians retreat to the Pruth, " as the
Austrians will occupy them as neutral ground. y
1t is difficult to believe that this ia correct. A
retreating army is always exposed to suffer
severe Losses, and it would be sad pity should
