in person against the enemy ; he arrived on the
6th in the evening, with the army, forming five co-
lumns, in the vicinity of the Tu, ks, and ordered
a general attack to be made on the following day.
It began at 10 o'clock in the morning, and at 7
o'clock at night the Turkish army was no more.
A position which seemed impregnable, intrench-
intuits defended with the utmost obstinacy—no-
thing could withstand the gallantry and persever-
ance of the Russian troops—that memorable day
has covered them with fresh laurels.

himeeli master of the whole intrenchment which
covered the enemy's camp on his kit &A near
the Danube. In the mean time, Major• General

saw his intrenchments surrounded by our troops;
but notwithstanding his hopeless situation, and a
very brisk cannonade kept up nn OW part, be con-
tinued to defend himself in the most obstinate man-
ner. An attempt made against his left flank having
proved unauccessfel, the General-in-chief, in order
to bring the matter to a close, adopted the measure

camp in the rear. This General aeon after entered

executed %ride the utmost rapidity, decided the vic-
tory. A great pint of the enemy's horse toiik itn-
naediately to light. and was pursued by our
cisval-

The General in Chia, without the least tots of
time, onlertd Major-General Sabannjeff to lead on
part of his trots against the last and strongest
Turkish intrenchnatin; but obeerving that the
darkness of the evening prevented the troops to art,
