The Commander in Chief in Gnicia (Georgia),
the General of Infantry, Prince ZiziAnof, received a
letter from the Vit;er of the Persian Raha Khan,
filled with threats, in which he demanded that the

Rns•ian troops should evacuate Grusia, and inform-
ed him that the son of Baba Khan WAS already on
his march to Grusia, with a numerous b dy of

. _
troops. which would be followed by Baba khan
him:elf, with a numerous army. Prince Zizianof
immediately T• 111 tied a short answer, in which he
stated that I.e was ready to receive him. But as
the Russian troops are not accustomed to wait for
the arrival of the enemy, the Commander in Chief
collened a detachment of 400 n men, and dispatched
two days before the Caucasian ieginient nt prim-
diers. that they might pass with more convenience
the mountainous disttias and morasses, which sepa-
rite Grusia.from the province of Erivan, after giv.
orders to their Commander, Major-General
Tititschkof, to form A jonftion in the Schuragalskoi
Steppe, with two battalions of the regiment of
Teflis. which had marched for that place. and to
wait fur his arrival. The Commander in Chief %et
nut himself nn the t ct of Julie, with the remainder of
_ .

the troops; and nn the 12th joined i • the Steppe,
the troons above-mentioned. He was here infirm
ed Major-Geornal Titawhkof, that on the tath
of that month he had fallen in with a detachment

of atinve 4000 Persians, whom he attacked and put
e fbeht. In this anion a hundred of the enemy
were killed, and about the same number taken pri-
soners. A great many Cede also had fallen into
his hands, and he rescued and set at liberty 400 fa-
fugitives from Erivan, whom the Persians
were carrying off by violence.
On the 13th the Bassi:in troops again broke up
their camp, and on the 19th arrived at the Arme-
nian monastery named Etschiniad.ia, the vrta exten-
sive gardens of which were beset by the Persians.
Here the enemy were driven hack to the walls of
the monastery by the Kozaks and Grusians. Next
marline. that is. on the 20th, at day-break, numer-
ous bodies of Persians were observed on the heights
behina the monastery: some minutes after several
columns of the enemy's cavalry appeared with an
intention, as SllppOSed. of attacking the Russian
camp, and who divided themselves in order to sur-
round it. The leave resistance, however, which
they expetiesteed, and the strong and well-dircrted
fire of our artillsey. made a great havoc among the
enemy, and defeated their &ilea. At length, a'ter
an obstinate engagement, which lasted ton bouts,
Pe-s• ins wsr.• obliged to retreat in great. conies
leen. In this aainn out loss was trfiing, while th it
of the enemy must h ere been very great ; but nothing
certain can vet be known in this respeet, as the Per.
liens use every exertlon to remove me r dead.
On the ?Ist, the day after the battle, no Persians
were to be seen.
On the 42d and :3d, a corps of the enemy's ca-
valry, ennsis ing of 12009, made an attempt to at-
tack our cair p : but discouraged by tie result of the
first battle, they did. not venture to approach nearer
than within cannon shot, and returned without being
able to accomplish their design. tin the 'do''', aa
the/ found that their plan was delea.cd, they left
the Russians at rest
On the 93th, the Commander-in-Chief pn.bed
forwards twelve verses with the whole army to the
village of Saragarta, on the Bitter Sanga, situated
at toe distance of seven verses front the tou it of
Erivan. which was beset by the enemy; but tliey
were driven :Corp it. and escaped by swimming.
The Commander in C'hiet expresses the utmost sa-
tisfaftina with the condud of all officers and scii-
dine who had a share in both these battles, but lie
praise', in particular the artillery officers, as the vic-
tory out the fourth day was owing chiefly to the good
area produced by the artillery ; and he recom-
mends particularly, for his gallantry and conduft.
his Brigade Major. Captain in the Guards of Preo-
brager sky. Count Woronsow.
At break of day on the 30th of June, the Russian
troops crnssed the river Sanga at the village Rava-
gers, and formed themselves in order of battle into
four sqaares, the chasseur square making the ad-
vanced guard, and in that manner marched forwards
to attack the Persian camp, which was established
near the village Kanagita, seven verge behind the
fortress c f Erivan. and which was preened in front
be awful and dangerous cliff'. They continued their
march for five vests in the Sallie, in the sight of
the right side of the fortress, and beat back all the
detachments of the enemy ser tto appose them At
lase having reached a plain, surrounded by hills,
and ireer p, r ed with (min.:lit:is about four verses
in circuniterense, Pi ince Ziiianof gave orders to the
chits:ens square to commit their artillery and heavy
I baggage to the care of the next square, to disperse
themselves over the heights, and to drive from them
the enemy, who had taken post there in numerous
privet. Five times the Piro:ins occupied the hills
and eminences over the high toad, arid as 'liken were
dice forced from them by the cha.seure. At length,
af..er they had reaiied the ascent of the steep sad
risky matietain, the access to which was rendered
anors difficult by the resistance made by the enemy
from the summit, Prince Zizianof detached the Co.
Biel of the Caucasian grenadiers, lioslofili, with
the fusileer battalion of that regiment, to awn it.
Tbe Colonel, notwithstanding the difficulty of this
attempt, and the steepness of the mountain. advanc-
ed rapidly with forty fusileers, having Major Osslof
at their head, put the enemy to Slight, and thus
opened a passage for the aisle corps, which ter-
minated the operations of the day.
The enemy, thrown into ereat consternation,
abandoned their camp, and tied beyond Erivan.
Their troops, amounting to twenty-seven thounind
men, who were besieging it, swam in the utmost
coefution across the river Arai:, and dispersed
themselves. leaving in our hands four standards,
seven field-pieces, forty ponds el gunpowder, a part
of which was braised, and a coesiderahleepantity
of copper, iron, and leaden shit, their rich and
magnificent camp equipage, a great many drome-
daries, and abundance of pakten:.
Prince Zizia..if speaks in high terms of the bra.
very and good conduit of the whole army, and re-
commends to particular notice Colonel ZeChanskoi,
of the ninth element regiment t Lieutenant Prince
ly Guards, Hussar Regiment, eft:.

PRIPArr LETTER.

mats, orr. 16.

Sin the return of Boa ar %WTI to this capital
without having, according to his boasts and pre-
mises, undertaken any tholg against England, he
has been turned into ridicule by some, regarded by
others with indifference, and applauded by none,
except those whom he pays, or to whom his ele-
vation is necessary to escape the punishment due to
their crimes. Upon his entrance at the opera on
the 14th, persohs employed by the police cried out,
Five l'Esenee•vr.' whilst others called out, Viet

'Moue this laver might signify, as much that
the people hoped from him the conquest of Eng-
land, as that they were reproaching him for not
paving already effeaeti this conquest, his gra,"
looks of complacency changed immediately into his
neural ferocious expression of countenance, wad he
stared about as if to %AA proper vielinis to b ar-
rested, transported, shot, or poisoned. After re-
viewing in this manner, particularly the persons in
the Pit, he spoke to General Mint AT. who was by
his side, and who, after looking in his turn, left the
Box, and, accompanied by four jars (orates ,/'Elite,
entered ti.e Pit, and ordered two persons • o foil whim.
This created great alarm, and a report was imme.
sliately circulated. that another conspiracy had been
discovered against BON A p•IITI, and that the arrested
persons were two of the conspirators Apprehen-
sive of being inculpated with tnese pith. men, every
one in the pit made his retreat. in a manner, that,
before half of the first aft was over, the pit contained
no persons who were not either officers or police
spies. The panic of the pit, in a short time. ex-
tended to the boxes, which were evacuated by all
persons Lot known to 800 Ar A re. who, in the be-
ginning of the secoqd aft, went away angry and agi-
tated. Of the two men at rested, one is t
can, of the name of !live It ia, a pretended relation
of Bos•rmir E, who had come to Paris to make his
fortune ; and the other a palrio‘ir Ge man Raton,
Vow SCIIULTZZII. who had visited France, to ad-
mire her Great F.mpenor. After their rumination.
