The outposts of the Russian guard are still
c'ose TO the JalomntZa. General Yussuf, with
his newly organized Ba>h Bazouks, who are un.
der the command of French officers is between
. Malschin and lsaktcha. As the Turkish corps
this point is continually reinforced, il is believed
that something will be undertaken against Gaiatz

man life as both places must be evacuated when
the Austrians enter Moldava. On The 10th The
