LONDON, Oct 81, 1877.
The headquarters OF the Prince OF Roumania and
General Todleben have been removed to Bogot, in
order, as alleged by correspondent, that Porcdin
may be prepared for the Gear, VINO win take
up his quarters there. 1t Is more likely
that the change Is in consequence OF
changed plan and point OF attack against
Plevna. The Roumanian division commander
who recently led the assault on the second Gre
vita redoubt has been superseded and the transfer
OF the Roumanians to point south Of plevna would
seem to indicate the abandonment OF attempts
to capture the works on the east front and the
establishment OF better communication with the
troops now operating on the Sofia road.
WILL THEY AGAIN ATTEMPT TIP
If the Car really intends TO remove the imperial
headquarters to Poredn 1t may be the precursor or
another attempt to carry Ghazi Osman's position
by assault at which, rs ut the attack OF the 18th Of
September, the Car would wish to be present; or
1t may indicate that the Russians confident that
their opecauons must result in the speedy
capitulation Of Plevna.
FORMIDABLE ADVANCE.

further developed by the transfer OF the Rouma-
mans to Bogot

pcrial Guard and one brigade OF Cossacks- 1t was
bombarded Tor two hours from seventy two guns,
when the small Turkish garrison surrendered
There was no assault. and the number or killed and
wounded on both sides was insignificant.
A CHANGE OF FRONT
The capture OF Teesche indicates that the Rus
slams have firm hold on the Plevna and Sofia road;
but it is not yet certain that Pcvna entirely
rounded. The road to Widdin, by way OF Rahova,
1t believed, still in possession OF the Turks and
that Ghazi Osman Pacha will make o desperate
effort to keep it.
