accounts come from Roumania. Those
who regard operations M imminent,
explain the general movement OF Russ
sian troops during the last week as n
preparatory move for concentrating
forces, which were hitherto scattered
about on the contenments. The de-
parture of the headquarters on the
18th from plojesti to Alexandria Ia re

nent action, while unusual preoaution
is taken to prevent any one from ap-

backward. Since the czar's arrival
fresh energy has been infused into the
operations, but this was at first some-
what neutrallzed by various railway
breakdowns. Those who do not be-
lieve IN immediate operations, explain
the present great movement OF troops
by the supposition that the command
or In chief had reasons to considerably
modify his plan, and that according to
the new arrangement the eight army
corps are to be concentrated In COM
paratively short line between Geur,
geva and Alesta. Either OF the fore
going opinions Is plausible and both
are founded on observations on the
spot.
A Vienna dispatch says the crossing
of the Danube will be postponed until
the arrival of tho fourth and thirteenth
army corps to the front, which VIII
not likely DO before the 2Sth Instant.
AT present the eighth, ninth, eleventh
and twelfth corps, about one hundred
thousand men, are concentrating be-

A special from st. Petersburg says
rumors regarding mediation Is semi.

A Versailles dispatch says q railway

opening of the chamber OF deputies.
A CertiDJe dispatch to Guardisn says

consequence OF the great loss inflicted
at Kustacs because the siege OF the
town has ceased. Nicsic may now be

Is expected for the next few days.
