ed the Russians are preparing to retreat across
the Danube at Simnitza. as the Turkish iron
clads are ascending the river to destroy the
Russian p0ntoon bridges at that point. The
Turks are also advancing from Nicopolis and
Rustchuk, as well as from the rear, and
threaten the Russians on all Sides A large

destination.
The Times Bucharest despatch says it is
stated here that over 10000 Russians have
crossed the Danube at Simintza with an i'm
mense train of artillery. The cavalry marched
about 20 kilometres in advance of the infantry.
As the Turks have no propOrtiOnate amount of
cavalry to meet them the Russians are securing
the country up to the foot of the Balkans.
Turkish outposts are at Janta which is their
present advanced line. The centre of their
army is near Rosegad, the right covering
Rustchuk and the left stretching towards
Schumla. 1t is reported only 10000 men
are left in Silistria :. The first great

Kabrova towards the Balkans They appear
to be masters of the country between the Bal
kans and Danube and from the Jantra to
Plevna.
