THE RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS FROM
SIJISrRIA.
A letter from widdin, Of June 20, has the
Omar Pasha has just made the announcement
that the Russians have now completely abandoned
Silistra. These are nearly the terms in which he
expresses himself -
You know that there before Sistria 80 900 Rug
slams, who were continually attacking the town day
and night In spite of their Efforts durng forty days
they able to make themselves masters Of any
point You also know that had assembled all my forces
before shumla and that ] about to march to the
assistance Of Sistra. Six regiments Of cavalry and
three batteries had alreedy left shuma for that desi
nation. The Russians having become acquainted with
this movement, retreated precipiatey upon The left
During the forty says which the Investment Of the
place continued the Russians had % 600 men killed.
MOVEMENTS OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY ON
THE DANUBE.
It would appear by the latest adVoes received III
England from the Danube that the Russians are i'm
no haste to evacuate Walacha, consequently the
Austrian troops have received orders not to cross
the frontier into Little Walachia.
From the Aluta downwards the left bank Of the
river is still occupied by the Russians who busy
erecting batteries toe TIansyyanian frontier, at
Tekutch. Piatra and Okna, in Moidayla.
The Austrian steamer Orpad which left Ors0v
for Rustchu,k en- the Sd inst could proceed far
Their than Sistova, the Russians were sOl at Zim-
nitza and Horava.
The general movement of the Russian armies
from north to south is In consequence Of an order
recently given by the Gear, who has little to fear
this year for his Baltic provinces as it 10 now evil
dent that the French forces assembling at ST. Omer
cannot be embarked before August; consequently
they could not be in fighting order on the Baltic
coast before October which will be too lase to COM
mence the csmpaign. Russia has therefore been able
to remove her armies from the Baltic provinces and
4 Lthuania and to concentrate them In Pod0la and
on the Pruth, with their front towards Turkey and
Austria. The troops ordered to the South take their
| way partly by Warsaw and Lubin, and partly
through Lutbania and Volhynia, and are c0acen-
trated on the Pruth, and in the neighborhood Of
Kamienitz, spot which, in strategic point Of
view, is extremely advantageous. The reserve is
i posted at Kamienitz, In the form Of semi.crce
ments can easily be sent to any part Of the theatre
Of war. Kamientz is aleo the pivot Of operations
| for the armies that now menace Austria.
In the levy, en- .sasss, ordered IN Poland, each
landed proprietor is ordered to supply twenty our
men, ef whom twelve must be armed with axes or
scytLes.
