NEWS Ob THE WEEK. 
The news from the real seat of war, the banks of 
the Danube, grows more and more interesting; and 
its importance will now increase with every mail. In 
the first place, the gallant defenders of Silistriu have 
continued to hold out, and to inflict the most tre- 
mendous chastisement upon their assailants, whose 
various and determined attempts at storming the 
fortress have been unprecedented in the present 
war. It is estimated that within the last month 
six thousand Russians have fallen; and though 
this may be only an approximation to facts, there 
can be no doubt that the well-served artillery of 
the Turks, directed by English and other foreign 
officers has wrought fearful havoc. The latest 
tidings from Vienna state that the Russians have 
abandoned the idea of capturing this stronghold by 
assault, and have adopted a system of blockade, it 
is therefore very gratifying to learntliat the Turks, hav- 
ingobtained all* the honoursof the siege, are not now to be 
abandoned “till famine cling them.” The English 
and French commanders have’pushed on from Varna 
to Sliumla, and have held a council of war with their 
noble colleague, Omer Fash a, and having listened to 
his representations as to the necessity of suceuring bilis- 
tria, have been led to coincide in his views. The most 
energetic measures have been adopted for bringing 
tin* forces of France and England to the aid of 
the besieged place, ami the armies are already tar 
on their way. It is curious to note the 
vicissitudes of war. One of the two supero 
fleets sent from England was expected to achieve tne 
first triumph of the war (a title which can hardly be 
given to the castigation of Odessa) ; but the chances 
seem to be now altered, and the soldiers of Englana 
are likely to take the inaugurating honours. We now 
look more eagerly than ever for intelligence from 
the Danube. It ‘is computed that the allied .armies 
%y ill shortly have 140,000 troops in the province oi 
I Bulgaria.
