CROSSING THE DANUBE.

The Grand Duke Nicholas crossed the Danube in fores on June 28, at Simnltza, which lies almost midway between Giurgavo end Tare Magureli, near the point where the river Vede flows into the Danube, and not far from the town of Alexandria, to which the Russian head-quarters have been lately transferred.
