Some telegraphic reports have been received purporting to give intel-
ligence from the seat of war.
" Vienna, Friday Morning.
"The Vienna Post states, that after conferring with the French and Eng- lish commanders, Omar Pasha on the 26th advanced towards Silistria with 90,000 men in two columns. His right wing leans on the heights near the Taban Dene, and his left on the river Driste. This statement is considered probable by the Freese.
"A detachment of the Allied armies had arrived at Yarns.
"Silistria still held out on the 28th.
"On the 26th the Russians attempted to force the passage of the Danube at Turnu, Simnitza, and Giurgevo ; but were repulsed." "Intelligence has been received from Admiral Dundas, that Redout-lialeh and Poti, on the coast of Circassia, have surrendered to the Allied squadron."
By a decree, dated May 31, the export and transport of arms or muni- tions of war from Austria to Russia are prohibited ; Austrian merchant- men going to sea are only to be allowed to take such arms as are required by the crew ; and privateering is strictly forbidden.
Another despatch is from Paris, and relates to home military matters. "Paris, Saturday, June 3. "The Moniteur announces the organization of camps in the North and South. The Emperor will be Commander-in-chief of the camp in the North. Baraguay d'Hilliers, Guesvillar, and Carelet, will command three corps d'armie. General Hautpoul will be Commander-in-chief of the camp in the South."
