By the arrival of the Pride of the
Ocean at London, April LIST we have in
telligence of the loss of the emigrani
ship Sea Nymph, from Liverpool, Feb
ruary 21st, for New York. When a
week out, the Sea Nymph experienced
heavy gale, and became unmanaga-
Bile, leaking badly, topmast, yards, &C.,
carried away, and for twenty-four hours
lay in the trough of the sea. AT this
juncture the Pride of the Ocean hove
in sight, and bore down to her assist
ance. Two boats were lowered, and
with difficulty all were taken on board
of the Pride of the Ocean, and brought
to London. When last seen, the Sea
Nymph was fast settling down. The
loss of the Russell Sturgeon, and the
rescue of the passengers by the Isaac
Webb and Rainbow, has been already
reported by the America, via Halifax.

Continental adyices seem to regard
the occupation of the Lower Danube
by the Russians as defnited masure.
Advices from Odessa, March 25th,
mention that the entire Russian feet
had left Sebastopol, and it was believed
would attack Varna.
From the seat of war on the Danube
we have the first act of new plan oil
Russian strategy. For particulars see
the following summary:
Austria has demanded from Russia
that Austrian subjects in the PrincI-
palities shall not be compelled to take
Russian paper money. ~
The excited state of public feeling al
Constantinople is greatly disquieted to
the government.
THE WAR.
On the 28th of March, Hirshova wa;
taken by the Russians, who also made
themselves masters of the strong posi-
ton of Babadagh and are consequently
in entire possession of the Upper Do
brudscha. The Cossacks patrol as fal
as Kostendie-and, according to the
Iremden Blatt, the fort Of Isaktchi wa:
taken BY the Russians on the 9th
Imperfect accounts that are at hand say
Hirshova was taken after three days as
sault. 1t will Oe some days ere reliable
statements can be received.
As soon as Gortschakof had estab'
lished himself in the Dobrudescha, he
issued proclamation to the inhabitants
similar 10 that which was published II
Moldavia and Wallachia. In connection
with GortschakofFs movements, it il
mentioned that five steamers, towing
barges containing 1000 men, had lef
Sebastopol for the Western Turkish,
coast of the Black Sea- If this be true
they run a chance of meeting with the
ships of the allied feet now cruising
along that shore. Prince Paskiewitcf
was to set out about the 18th inst, from
Warsaw for the seat of war. The En-
peror will not himself go to the Princi
palities.
There is no doubt that the Russians
have lodged themselves, in the forc'
stated, namely, over $4,000 men,--or
the Turkish bank of the Danube
Opinions are, however, divided as Il
the Importance of this movement
While some view it as great triumph
to the Russians, others profess them
selves unable to see what advantage th,
invaders expect to gain BY it. They
(the Russians are not yet in Bulgaria
nor on the route to Constantinople,- -
but in the Dobrudscha, an immens'
marshy plain, without any Poinf d'appu
and deprived of communications. Be
hind them is a Turkish force of 25,00t
to 10000, and before them line o
fortresses, such as Silistria, Kostendje
Varna and Shumta, between them ant
the Balkans. 1t is true, that in 1872;
!, the Russians entered the Dobrubsch,
! by Hirshova, as they have done now
and proceeded on to Varna and Silistr
but then the sea was open. Oma
