Ibrail SAYS thst all is ready TOR the pas
sage OF the Danube. The bridge from
Ibrail to the Turkish shore has been
finished for some hours. The troops be

are Cossscks enough to take in the flank
and harrsss the right of IN army defend
ing Mstchin.

upon inundated Turkish territory that
the Russians built, RATS have been

where the two monitors were sunk.
Should nothing be changed between
now and tomorrow, sll will be fn-
ished by the time this Dispatch is
printed. For the last week, however,
changes have been continued, and nothing
is certain. II is expected that the greater
part of the Fourteenth corps will have
crossed IN twenty.four hours and will
receive the Gear, who is to arrive Sstur-
day Such Is the purport OF the orders
which General Zimmerman sent to his
troops at 2 o'clock Thursday. This docu-
ment has been ready for some days, but
notwithstanding the impsticnce OF
the Car the general refused to cross the
Danube because he considered that he wbs
not ready. On Susdsy last the Car An
nounced his coming, and ordered pass
age TO bc made. The general asked fur
thsr delay, and on Wednesday the Car
again announced that he WAS coming.
General Zimmerman then went to PIpl
esti, and succeeded in inducing the Car
TO postpone his visit until Saturday.
