The Russians to Cross the Danube
on the 7th inst.
Extraordinary Precautions for the
Safety of the Gar.
Russians Cannonading Karadagh,
The Gar Willing 10 Take Chief
Command.
The DimcuI,ies Of the situation.

LONDON, june L. II ne lWIes corTe'
spondent at Paris says that it Is now well
known what the real difficulties OF the
situation are. Russia can only escape the
more threatening consequences OF her
undertaking by promptly and energetic
ally limiting it. Ii is evident that the
day that Seryls takes part in the War or
the Roumhnian troops cross the Danube,
Austris will occupy one or both of
the provinces. hen the Eastern
question will commence certainly.
Russia is doing her utmost to keep Servis
back. The difficulty raised as TO the
command Of the Roumsnisn troops is
only another effort TO prevent the Rou-
msnisn army from crossing the DanLb be;
but Russia has no longer much influence
over the Servisns, whom she sbsndo ned
and humilistsd, and an early explosion
in Servis may be feared. The Gar sees
this, and, it is said, if he joins the army
it will be to negotiate rapidly with the
Sultan and finish the war before il de
veops these threatened compli.
cations. The spirit of the Russian
people, the influence Of the
of the army are feared. 1t il asked
whether the Emperor's presence will
suffice TO encounter this three fold ele-
ment Some of the people think that
the cession of Bstoum may satisfy every.
one without alarming anybody, but this
opinion Is not very generally held in
Russia. The arrival OF the Czsr
amid the army is awaited by all
with anxiety. 1t is hoped that he will
act with promptitude, which will pre-
vent the complications dreaded, and that
rs soon as he appears disposed TO .ermi-
nate the war, Europe will be ready TO
second him.

VIENNA, June IA few days ago the
commanders OF the several army corps
reported to the Grand Duke Nicholas

army is very large.
