near Alexinatz, for the purpose Of covering
Tchernayefr's retreat.
THE sERvIAN MAIN FORCE.
Tchernayen's force is estimated at 49, 900 men.
There are some Asatic troops at Nizza, which is
point Of great strategic Importance, the Turks
having the greatest advantage there, account of
fortincations erected during recent years and de:
Tended by 100 heavy cannon, sxtynve Of which are
steel cannon Of Krupp's celebrated model
THE TURKISH COMMANDER
The Standards correspondent at Constantinople,
tciegraphng on Saturday, said that no important
movement would be made by the Turks until About

rector General OF the Military College, who has
ceiyed a European military training.
THE TURKISH TROOPS.

FANATIC MOsLEMS-SO MERCY.
The Standards correspondents telegraphs:-
Troops, guns and stores Of all kinds continue to be

GREAT DATTLE IMMINENT.
The latest reports from the seat OF war say that
fighting is now going on around Nissa and you may
expect report Of great battle any moment.
THE IRON GATES or THE DANUBE.
