THE LAND OPERATIONS.
The Paris PAYS gives the following deScrip-
| ton of the localities of the Danube, which is of
! interest:
The banks of the Danube are at this moment
| the theatre OF marches, counter marches. and
| different movements the object and bearing of
which II is difficult to Judge of at this distance
| From Wddin far Rassova, for a space of
! lou leagues. there are every day engagements of
| more or less Importance. We have ALREADY men
toned those of Silistria and Turtukai. The de-
tails of the occupation of the Dobrudscha by the
Russians are also known. The German journals
now bring some more recent news, by means of
which it may be perhaps possible to 1nravel the
! double plan of operations
ION the side of the Dobrudscha the position is
very simple. The Rassians effected their pas.
sage without meeting with any serious resistance.
They have taken the small places of Matschin
! lultscha, lsaktcha. They have even taken pos
session OF Hlrsova, which has become their head
quarters, and the strong position of Baba- Dagh
in the interior of the county, ON the border of
the great lake Rassein. But there their success
es end, and they will compromise their cause
more than they will favor it.
at was at fist asked what their intention
could tie IN assuming this offensive attitude. bnt
| II now appears that it was measure of precap
ton to prevent themselves from being cut off bv
the Angie French troops WHAT very certain
Is, that their present situation may become very
! critical. We are now entering ON the scasnn
