CONTEMPLATED MOVEMENT.
As the Russian supplies for the Crmoa come
nv the Sea of Azoif, from Tagaurog, where i'm
,aense magazines exist, il is thought probable
That an expedition of 50, 900 men is preparing for
some point in that direction with view of en-
tirely cutting off1he Russian supplies y pow
erfui force to be called the Bulgarian army is
said 10 be assembling at Narna. The presence
of the Austrians in the prncipalites has not had
much effect on Russia, as very few Russian
troops are in Bessarabia. They have gone to
tEe Crimea, feeling assured that Austria will
not act on the offensive.
AFFAIRS AT ST PETERSBURG.
private letter from st Petersburg, dated the
10Th, from a high mercantile house, gives de
nlorable account of the pressure on all classes in
That capital; business being comparatively at an
end. and the continuance of the present state of
things is regarded with the greatest dread In all
quarters.
EXPECTED RENEWAL OF THE COMMANDMENT.
There are various rumors respecting the re-
newal of the bombardment, and dates for opening
fire are named; but they have foundation only III
sarmise. 1t is asserted that very different i'm
nr4ssion will be made ON the enemies works when
the batteries re open than was made on either Of
the 80 previous OCCASIONS but much conf
dence was expressed previous to each Of those
two attacks by the engineers and others, that
snch assertions are now received with distruSt.
More hope and reliance are placed upon the elect
of the combined operations, which, it Is under
stood, are about to take place at kcrteh ON the
one hand, and from the neighborhood of Eupa
tora on the other, than in the isolated efforts of
the besiegers on the south side of Sebastopol.
May Eve are progressing fast with our
batteries ON both attacks, and hope, when we
open fire next time, shall i'll few hours 81
ltnce the Russians fire, although they have
made a battery within 10 yards Of the trenches
bat as we have now ) and 10 inch mortars and
63 FOUNDER guns we hope TO be able to do won
a,rs We have about i40 guns and morars
ready, and all of them heavy. The Bntfs have
arrived, their ship had caught fire bu; it was got
under, and they are all right
