LONDON, August 5.-The first move
meut of the Russians towards carrying
out that plan OF campaign heretofore
tores hsdowed rs the one likely TO be Sc
lected, has resulted in the disaster OF
Pleyns. The purpose Of the Russian
Generals obviously WAS to wheel around
their right and lett wing 10 line parallel
with the Balkans, taking Tirnovs ~ the
pivot, and thus force Osmsn Psshs snd
Mehmet Ali back scross the mountains
Oh their respective lines of retreat. This
accomplished, and OSmsn rsshs and
Mehmet Ali prevented from et.
teCting JUNCTION by the forces
under Gen. Gourko, which were in the
mean while to establish themselves on the
south OF the Balkans, the Russian cam
palgn would have been beyond danger
OF failure or serious interruption. The
promenade scrOss the Danube, sud 90
and over the Balkans, while the Turks
remained Idle in their camps and fort
resses, was perhaps sufficient t. iustitythe
ldea OF the Russians, that they had only
to advance to ensure thal no Turks
should retreat II WAS this feeling which
