General Sakharoff is again advancing south of Brody. He has
crossed the river Sereth, which has hitherto held him up, and has advanced three miles to the west. He is among abrupt hills and deep gullies, which have been flooded lately by unexpected rains. Early in the week It was announced that his prisoners amounted to five thousand five. hundred. And he is not the only Russian General on the move. Further south General Lechitsky is driving the Austrians back, and as we write has almost reached Stealslau, an important junction. His prisoners number eighty- eight officers .and seven thousand four hundred men, of whom three thousand five hundred are Germans. He must be moving fast, as we hear of the free use of cavalry. Bothmer is thus threatened on both his right and left flanks, and it is a very nice question how long he will be able to stay where he is without finding his avenue of retreat closed.
