crossing with the view of drawing
their enemies into the narrow gorges
and Businesses of Balkan mountains,
from which it will be impossible even
with Il much larger army to cope with
the Turkish troops. At any rate all
reports from the seat of war chronicle
success upon Gees to the Turkish
armies. On the 9Th a great battle
was fought in the vicinity of Biela,
and the Russians being defeated, fell
back Oh Sistova.
The English government has sent
the Mediterranean feet to Biela Bay.
This fleet numbers seven irOn-clads
and one frigate. OF the one hundred
and twenty thousand Russians who
have crossed the Danube at Sistova,
there are 10000 cavalry and 25O AN
non.
1t is more than probable a terrible
and decisive battle will be fought soon
either ut OF near Rustchuk, the Bal
kans or Nikopolis.
While the English Government
claim that the sending of iron-clad
fleets 50 neal the seat of war carries
with it no important Specification, it is
evident that should British interest
demand interference, it will be
promptly taken. The English Lion
will never consent to the Russian Bear
fasting upon the luXurics of Constan-
tinople without an effort to prevent it.

reaching her destination in safety,
which drew the attentions of two
Young men to her, who volunteered
their advice, and each recommending
different routes they complicated mat

reaching Buffalo the sensitive girl

fear that she would never reach Tenn

at Il hazard took the advice of one OF
them and left the train. The man
whose advice had not been taken then
accused the other in the lady's pres
