London, Mar. 23—Reuter's corres- garrlson at I’rzoniysl and the uuiubor of men who surrendered to iho Uns- sians greatly exceed all eslimutes. According to I’etroRi'ad dispatcheB, Uio defenders orlKinaUy numbered 170,000 men, of whom 40,000 were killed. Nearly 120,000 laid down their arms when the fort.re.4s capitulated. A blizzard which has intericred with tlie telegraphic service, prevunt.s de tails of the surrender from cominR through, but Lemberg reports that for seven days prior to the fall of the fortress the people of the town had nothing to eat and the Uus.sians, wlio took in large supplies of provi.sion.s, were welcomed at liberator.s. Dispatches from l.eniberg also say that 15,000 persi)ns weri! I'oumi suiTi'r Ing typhus of cholera and that I ho ■work of disinfecting Ihe place is Ijoiiu; undertaken eneigetirally. The inter ior forts it is said, were found intacl. with a good deal of auiniuiution in tiiera. Everywhere in Europe, tjoth bellig erent and neutral co\intr!es, the great est credit is given the Austrian.i fo>‘ their long and stubborn resistance which has delayed and interfered with the Russians campaign In other direc tions. Big Army Is Released. Now that the Russians, whose num- liers, like those of the Austrians, must kave been greater than estimated, no longer are compelled to Invest this tbrtress, a big movement either against Cracow or in the Carpathians doubtless will be started. With their northern lines protected by the morass into which the greater part of Po land is converted during the spring months, the Russians are oxpected tu throw all their strength apaiuKt the Austrians and attempt finally to i-nl'rii them.
