RUSSIAN ACCOUNT OF THE OPERATIONS
IN THE SEA OF AZOFF.

The St. Petersburg journals of the sth have come
to hand. The lowalide RUM contains the following
report, dated May 25, from General Wrangel, com-
mander of the Russian troops in the Eastern part of
the Grimm, giving an account of the occupation of
£ertch and Yenekale by the Allied forces:

In the moraing of the 24th a hostile fleet, 70 vessels
strong, appeared in the Straits of Kertch. Owing to the
fog it was not perceived until it had arrived off Takyl light-
house. Later I received from the commander of Theodoeia
(Kaffa) a report of the passage of a powerful squadron
towards Kutch, and an intimation from Oen. KotaebuE that
nearly 70 of the enemy's meals had left Sebastopol with
26,000 nen on board. The enemy, who appeared suddenly
off the village of Kamp& Boman, and had brought his
great ?sails beyond the reach of the Paul battery, and
his steamers and long boats nearer the shore, proceeded im-
mediately to land under the protection of the tire of his
vessels. While this was going on one of the gunboats ap-
proached the battery, but being received by a vigorous can-
noaade was not long in getting out of reach. In the interval
the as ailants had disembarked six columns of infantry, who
contrived to get behind the batteey. Yielding to a decisive
superiority in numbers, the troops at the battery spiked
the cannon, and after having destroyed all the munitions of
war retired in the direction of the postal station of &mita-
' slinks.

The enemy, with a portion of his steamers, then rapidly
entered the bay of Kertoh. In the evident impossibility of
resisting snob an attack, I gave the order to immediately
destroy the depots of meal and forage at 'With, and the
vessels which wen liable otherwise to fall into the enemy's
hands. Consequently they put to the flames the war steamer
Nogoutchy, which was in repair and without its engine;
also the private steamers. the Berdiansk and the Donets.
I am not aware of what became of the steamer Argonaut.
excepting that it doubled the Cape.
The fortifications of Herta and Weikel. kept up until
night, a well sustained sad happily executed fire against the
enemy's stamen which were discoed towards the straits of
Yeaskale. It was act until nightfall that we commenced
rendering the guns unserviceble and destroying all that might
fall into the enemy's hands ; following this the garrison
profited by the darkness, to leave the fortifications.
All the troops which were at Kertoh and in the Paul bat-
tery, effected their retreet with an insignificant Wes. As
to the garrison which defended Winkel., I learn that it
was obliged to follow, not the postal route of Soultanovka,
but a parallel road upon its right, and nearer the Sea of
Axon'.

I have arrived this day at Amain*, where all the detach-
ment is &enabled, and when it will be joined by the regi-
ment of the Grand Duke de Sue's Hussars, the regiment
of Prince Emile of Hesse's Dragoons, and the battery of the
Hone Artillery, No. 28. It was impossible for me to stop
nearer Bench, from the want of water upon this kind of
soil, and also for the reason that I may be able to 'tumour
Theodarla if the enemy decides to undertake anything
against that city.
