New York, May 20.—The correspondent of tho’ New York 7Ttmes, on the Turkish side, writes from Rustchok, May 6: We are weary of waiting on the panksof the Danube for the attack. It isnmow ‘some days since I arrived here. My first task was to see the fortifications and other fiela-works completed by the army. I found twelve very strong .redoubts at various places aronnd the town and upon the hifls of those three named Ahmed Risul Tabia, Szoor Tabia, and Dacha. ‘Tabla were the strongest, being armed respectively with thirteen, ten and nine heavy guns, most of them Krupp. And the armaments did not end bere, for besides the hundred or §o heavy-pieces mount- ed In the large redoubts, there were many others behind open earthworks ready to receive the enemy. Altogether, consider the place Impregna- ble if no nnforeseen accident occura. Rustchukhag PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PART in previous wars, and if it were the neceasary polnt of attack now would doubtless be equally troable- some to the enemy as in other times, for tho troops here are in excellent condition and heslth, well provided with provisions, and enthusiastic at the prospect of a fight. DBut the chances aro that, although the Russians continue to menace from the opposite shore, they will not do snything ot all 1 the front @f the guns we have 80 carefully placed. ‘They may cross from Oltenitza, or come over the river at Nicopol!, and in either event take us in the flank; bat they will not, I think, venture over here in the face of anartillery. 1f they did, we might show them some very fair play, but once they getinour rear there are no imeans of predicting what they may do. They may starve us oat; they may find & weak point in our armor, and break in, or, wors! ofall, TREACHERY MAY PLAY ITS PART, o chance I dare only hint at, although s0 corrupted has the Empire become in consequence of the wide and continual application of Russian gold, that nothing is impossible. Still mores the possibility that we may have a brush with the eemy on the river, thouzh In spite of the order given laat night, 1 think that the chances are very remote. We arc too streng for the gray-coated battalions to cross inour front, and they could do it so much easier higher up the river; Widdin, for justance. TIntelligence reaches s here that the Roumanians are moving rapidly upon Kalafat, and ina few days will be opposite the celebrated town beld by Osman Pasks. To anybody unacquainted with the exact natare of the groand at this point. this may appear of no serions importance, but unhappily it 80 chances that Kalafat COMMANDS THE TURKISK FEONTIERS, and, supposing the Russlans can omly bring up & sufficiency of_heavy artillery there 18 no reason. why they shonld not speedily silence the Tarkish guns at that point, in which case we should be placed at a decldedly sreat disadvantage. Wo awalt with anxiety news from Widdin, considering. much what may be the plan of the enemy’s attack- Of one thing he may be certain, that he will meet with desperate resistsnce, but that isall. Hemsy, win if he be clever, and he is almost suze to be that.. Ote of my colleagues has just passed up tho river to see what the enemy may be doing, and will probably prolong his journey to Nikopolie. Coming from Silistria, he fails to mve me moch hope respecting the campaign nuw unhapplly com- menced. Onall sides it is sdmitted we have NOT A SUFPICIENCY OF TROOPS; that, though our positions are strony, our nambers are weak, when the extent of ground to be covered is considered. Gatbered together in one larze army, we might have enongh for the parpose, bat our Generals have thought it to divide their forces and fritter them away, leaviog at no one pluce such an srmy as wounld be able to repel a Russfan tava- sion, were I to take place suddenly st any given point. The Russians, meantime, do their best to keep their plans secret, and in this reapect are sacceed- ing to & certaln extent, while they surely know exactly where our meg are placed and what aro our weak points. Still wo have always the Balkans in our rear, and 4 chance of reuniting our forces there, in which event we may hold the cnemy in check. At any rate, the bravery of the troops here may bo Telied npon, and if only they are not demoralized by the constant apparition of floods of cavalry on the flanks and in the rear, they may be able to withstand the Russian onslaught. That they will do their utmost need not be doubted, and that thelr Genersls will be fully alive to the necessity of good errangements is also certain. Whether, when they see the necessity, they will know how to act, however, is another matter. ROUMANIA. PRINCE CHARLES' ARMY. Bpectal Dispasch to The Tribune.
