OTTOMAN ARMY OF THE DANUBE.--The
Journal de Constantinople states that the
Ottoman army of the Danube was to ad-
vance by forced marches to the Pruth, enter
Bessaraba, and attack the Russians.
Thirty thousand men under Achmet Pa
sha, formerly of Kslafat, and now marshal
marched to Babadagh to guard the Danube.
Iskender Bey commands the vanguard of five
thousand men, and is going to destroy the
enemy's works at Ismail. The cavalry, un-
der Halem Pasha, had reached Fokshany.-
The main body of the Turkish army, under
Omer Pasha, and composed of about sixty.
eight thousand infantry, was awaiting the
cessation of the rains, upon which it would
march for the Pruth. Tassoun Pasha sends
the troops under his orders from Rustchul
80 Bucharest. and will himself keep garrison
there with eight thousand men.

Who ARE THE ZoUAvEs "A paragraph
Is going the rounds stating that the Zouaves
of the French army are the natives Of AL
geria, and other parts of northern Africa
belonging to the French, and that they oc-
cupy position similar TO the Sepoys in
India.
The Buffalo Democracy says this is a mis-
take. and thus enlightens us on the subject :
1.-The Zouaves are no such thing as the
above article states, which we find in almost
every paper we take up. They are simply
Frenchmen, most Of whom have served in
the Algerian army, but who are just as good
Gaus as any of the inhabitants of Paris
Nor have they necessarily been soldiers before
having been enrolled in the peculiar corps &c
which they belong, but, on the contrary
they have been enlisted indscriminately
from among the hard cases Of the army, the
gamins of Paris, and the settlers of Algeria
Their popularity consists, chiefly in theil
youth. their recklessness and clan, which
b.ing freely translated. means pim. They are
perfect demons, and somewhat unmanage
able, as most demoniar creatures are said Il
be. The Gardcs Mobiles OF the late French
revolution have furnished many members tt
the corps Of Zouaves.'

FIRE EXITING GUlsHED BY STEAM.-In fire
which occurred at Peora, in Fridley & Lin
coins factory, the proprietors ordered the
safety valve of the steam engine to be open
ed In few minutes the building was filled
with steam, which penetrated every corner
where fire could bum, and completely sub
dued the flames. Every manufactory where
steam is used could have mechanical contri-
uivances by which the steam from the boiler
could be admitted into every room liable to
fire, and thus possess the means upon the
premises of subduing the flames.
