A cable telegram of May sth informs us that the Russians are advancing into Servia, and have occupied Bayargia. In endeavoring to identify Bayargia, we have our choice between Bayazid in Armenia, about 100 miles south-west of Kars, and Bazardjik in Bulgaria, on the road from Silistria to Varna. We are disposed to give the preference to Bayazid. It is, no doubt, a long leap for the last half of a clause to take from Servia to Armenia; not much longer, however, than from Galatz on the Danube to Poti and Anaklia in Transcaucasia, a leap which one clause of a cable telegram took the other day. The last syllable of Bayazid might easily look very like ' ' rgia" in writing. If we supposed, moreover, that Bazardjik had been occupied, we would have to suppose that the Russians had crossed the Danube, aivd were rapidly advancing towards the Balkans. Before they are in a position to do this, we must hear of the fall of Silistria.
