At the moment when the movement of which

speak was made, there were two commanders in the
field in addition, making in all four. The most oon-
spiouons was decidedly Prince Stourdza, alias
Mo..chlies Pacha, who, without any special mission,
ordinance, or appointment, and merely in virtue of
his position as Omer Paella's chef tretat-major--an
offioe, by the bye, which bean ea much resemblance
to its model in the French or any other European
army, as a Turco-Italian surgedb to the head doctor
of Bt. Bartholomew's—came galloping up, displaced
Viergbitski, or countermanded his orders, and at least
succeeded in bringing about as complete a state of
confusion as any one could desire to witness. Owing
to a kind Providence, however, who seems to watch
over the Turks with a cars which never flags, all
went on pretty well; the Madan retired across the
hollow in our front, where a fire of artillery was
opened on them, which caused them to move off still
farther, and sent the Cossacks scampering
like so many frightened rabbits. The distance

to effect anything beyond knocking over one or

came over the brow of the hill, and at last showed a
body of at least 6,009 cavalry, lancer, sod dregoone,
with twelve pieces of artillery, ranged on the slope

the other on the slope. The Turks had, how-
ever, achieved their object, in driving the Rae
