TTOATItIta OT TURKF.V, MAT S.
On the 22,1 of last mout:t , the Turks attacked the
camp of the Servians near Nissa ; though the latter
did not expeCt this attack, they sustained the shock
with great resolution, and even repulsed their ad-
versaries to the distance of a league. But the
Turks having received numerous reinforcements,
returned to the charge, and, after a battle, which
lasted till night, they obtained a complete viapry.
The Servians were driven back nine miles; their
loss in this battle amounted to 4,830 killed, 7,235
wounded, and 800 prisoners l besides that of eight
pieces of cannon, two standards, 160 muskets, and
a great quantity of ammunition. The Turks had
2,480 killed, 5,068 wounded, and 160 prisoners.
Ou the night of the 25th of April, a corps of Ser.
viani appeared before the fortress of Omura I it
was discnvered by the Turkish advanced posts.—
Part of the garrison made a sortie during the night,
and rushed onervraedly on the Servians. A. great
number of the latter, who had advanced to the firs:
entrenchments, were precipitated into, the ditches.
Their leader, Milo% having cottoned his people,
retreated across a valley, where he joined the corps
of the army which bad just been defeated near
Nissa. Milon, having coacerted with the General
in Chief, continued to fly for the purpose of drawing
forward the Turks, who were pursuing him. Haw.
ling arrived at another valley. he ordered his corn-
piny to halt, .4r.,1 waited for the enemy, who did
not fail to attack him with impetuosity. The other
Servian columns advanced unawares, and rushed
Lyon the Turks. The latter, being very inferior in
number, were obliged to make their retreat, after a
very spirited collta. They left 420 killed and
wounded on the field; the loss of the Serviaus
amounted to i 73 kdied, sad 98 wounded•
