Warsaw, March 10. Letters from Podolia say, that both the Russian armies are moving forward, that under Count Romanzow, in order to enter Moldavia, and the army under Count Panin, to draw near to Bender.

Extract of a Letter from Warsaw, March 10.

We are now certain that the news lately spread of the citadel of Brailow having been taken by the Russians is false; but that of the victory gained by them over a body of the Ottoman troops has been confirmed by a courier which Prince Wolkorfki had received from Count Romanzow. It appears that Lieutenant General Stoffeln after having destroyed a considerable magazine belonging to the enemy, and burnt the city of Brailow, was very desirous of attacking the citadel, but not having any heavy artillery, he was obliged to desist.

The repeated victories obtained by the Russians over the Turks, has inspired the former with so much confidence, that we are told in letters from Poland, they never march now against the enemy, but they always reckon themselves as going upon certain victory.
