If there be any truth in the accounts which have more than once come before the world, that the Rus- sian government, from Alexander to Nicholas, has attributed to the aged Marshal certain horoscopio advantages, inseparably connected with the success and welfare of the country te which he belongs, this will doubtless be considered an ill omen at a period when the plains of Silistria seem on the point of be- coming the pivot on which will revolve the first campaign of this extraordinary war.

The Moniteur B yrmen intelligence from Bucharest of by telograph via Belgrade. It says, “The siege of Silistris, auspended on the 13th, has now been raised by superior order. The Rassians have evacu- ated Giurgevo, and the whole Muscovite army is about to retire beyond the Pruth.’” Pang, Tuesday morning, June 27. The Moniteur announces that a despatch received from Vienna, dated Monday, states that tho siege of Silistria was raised, and that ‘the Russians were retiring en masse. Their retreat was being effected from all of Walla- chia, in the direction of Foksham and lat. The en- try of the Austrians into the Principalities is decided on, and Count Coronini, with the first division, to be followed closely by a second, is ready to descend the Danube to Giurgevo, whence he will march to Bucharest.

If we compare the magnitude of the invading aimy with the slender and imperfoag forces opposed to it—the boasted power of Rassia with the weakvess of Turkey, and the arrogance of the Imperial Court with the humiliation it aow to eadure—we cannot but call to mind the impious appente of the Czar to the just jadgment of Heaven, which bu: Gissipated his armies aud coa- founded his am In this important movement, which has already changed the whole of the war, we are more to watch and provide.

The sians have retreated for the simplest and most pee’ Saytory of all reasons—because, having failed im. their attack on Sitistria, tuey could not hold a posi tion south of the Danube, and because an at! toretain Wallachia, with the Austrian army on the! base of operations, might have compelled theiren- tire army tolay downitsarms. They are, in short, defeated; and from the moment that Prince Pas- kiewitech assumed the command he contemplated the necessity of contracting the whole line of upera- tine, and turning the front of the army from the south to the west. This is even more im- ney in its character than in the direction of the forces, for itis a change from offensive to defensive war; and our readers may remember that it is precirely the occurrence we reckoned upon several months ago, whenever the military attitude and re- sources of Austria should be fully developed.

The Czar has abandoned his position, not in compliment to Austria, but be- cause it bad become wholly untenable. Nevertheless, this fact is of a nature to oxert.am Petia g influence on the whole political question which now agitates Euro; If Russia has declared her intention to evacuate the Turkish territories, the presence of the allied armies in the Danubian provinces becomes superfluous, for they wi'l find no enemy to encounter. That e ion, however, now only one of the objects of the war. The ty between France and England and the Porte ex- presely provides for the of el guarantees for the future, by which we mesa, we stated yesterday, the revision of the the freedom of the Danube, the destruction of exclosivé domination of Rassia in the Buxine, the independence of the Circassian coast. fromthe moment that the retreat of the Rassiaas from the Principalities removes the theatre of war from the Danube, the allied forces may be with immediate effect on the Crimea, whore alone & blow may now be struck which can terminate war with honor.
