the main:
Suleiman Pasha's army, including
the reinforcements just received,
keeps up its original number Of42,-
600 men, with ample field artillery
and mountain guns. Upon his right
and left he has established sixteen
guns, which gave the Russians no
rest night or day., Although he
cannot sufficiently command the
road from Gabrova into the Russian
Notifications to prevent Their recelV-
ing supplies, he can and does make
them have anything but an easy
time within their eHtrencfm1ents,
which are exposed to- his murderous'
fianking fire, that entails very heavy
losses. General Radetzky cannot
break through the force before Him
and descend INTO the plain any more
than Suleimsn Pasha can drive him
out of his position anil make swOop
upon Gabrova and the country be-
You'd. SO matters viii in probability
remain until some important change
occurs in the vicinity of ShUmal and
Pleyna.
