French and ourselves have suffered consider
ably. The names Of the officers who have fal.
len Will be forwarded Immediately, but it will
be impossible 10 receive complete returns OF
all casualties before the Goth inst, June at

A dispatch from Bucharest, via Vienna,
confirms that an expedition has been underta-
