" Count Kutusow is occupied with the organization of the grand army; he has divided it in four grand corps of infantry and corps of cavalry. The principal corps of infantry and that of cavalry is concentrated on the left bank of the Danube, between Rudschuck and Bucharest ; they were to be commanded by generals Langeron and Saxe. The three other corps will take a position upon the right bank of the Danube, the first between Widdin and Vissa, the second at Rasgrad upon the road from Rudschuck and Fernow, and the third between Sillistria and Varna.
" The intelligence which we receive respecting the negociations are very contradictory. Some talk of peace, others of an armistice ; but the greater number are persuaded that the Grand Vizier wishes war and that he will renew it with vigour."
