THE RUSSIANS.

BATTLE OF PRZEMYSL ON. (Received September 22, 8.50 a.m.) Petrograd, September 21.

Three German army corps are concentrated in a fortified position in the vicinity of Przemysl, with orders to defend their position to the uttermost, -to enable the German forces gathering at Posen to arrange a general forward movement.

Ollicial.—The Austrians endeavoured to arrest the advance on the Ba-ro-nofl'-Ranishoff front, and were repulsed with great loss. Our siege guns bombarded Grostav, and the fight between the artillery has commenced at Przemysl. During the battle at Lemberg, the Austrians, after hoisting the white flag, treacherously shot down General Frolre, the hero of Port Arthur. The infuriated 'Rusians then sabred them unsparingly.

The Gazette says before peace is proclaimed Russia must secure the freedom of the Slavs from the foreign yoke and end the nightmare of German militarism. This will involve a dissolution of the Hapsburg (Austrian) monarchy and the abolition of the Prussian hegemony. Austria must bo deprived of Galicia and other Slav territory, and must also cede Trieste and Trienfc to Italy : and Transylvania and part of Bukovina to Ronmania.
