LETTS STEM THE ONRUSH.

Copenhagen, October 14. A Lettish communique, dated the 12th inst, says, the Letts have succeeded in re-crossing the Drina in the direction of Mitau and in occupying the suburbs of Riga on the left bank.

The Cabinet, National Council and Government officials moved to Paden (?) on the 10th. but the Premier and Minister of Justice have now returned to Riga. The entire Lettish Press opposes the acceptance of Colonel Bermondt's offer of an armistice on the ground that previous ex- perience shows the Germans in Courland cannot keep Treaties.

A semi-official statement says that a complete stoppage of provisions to the insubordinate troops in the Baltic, except those returning, was ordered on October 11.
