TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPIA, JULY 22.—The Sublime Porte has just
published an official account of the success of the Turkish army
upon the Danube—it is as follows:
" All the world knows how many efforts the Sublime Porte
has made to save and tear from the hands of the Russians, the
enemies of the Mussulman faith, and the Ottoman Empire, the
places, forts, and countries upon which they had seized. It
accumulated this year larger means and made greater military
preparations than in former ones; and if in the past year Bor-
nak Aga, Commandant of Rudschuck, was obliged to sur-
render that place, it was nut till after a siege of three mouths
and a half, when provisions failed, and the garrison even then
marched out with the honours of war, arms and baggage. Tha
Grand Vizier has inspired the army with fresh courage, and
all the true believers are animated with similar spirits and zeal.
" They have delivered from the hands of the enemies all
the places upon which they bad seized along the Danube, from
Samne Rogazi to Silistria; and after that Silistria had been taken,
through the general efforts of our warriors, it was projected to
deliver Rudschuck from the hands of the enemy—our victorious
army first marched to the village of Cazlllini near Rudschuck
—it gave battle under the orders of his Excellency Ali Pasha,
of Cars, commanding the advance of the army ; there the Rus-
sians, being completely beaten and routed, retired to Sauboes,
placing themselves under shelter of the entrenchments which
they have erected. Three day after his Excellency Veli Pasha,
commandant of the right wing of the army, with other chiefs
cx-firnanding tlie left wits, vigorously attacked the enemy.
The blood of Russians run between seven and eight hours, when
the enemy being no longer able to resist the courage and iti-
tri-pity a the true believers, proclaimed their defeat. Our
victorious troops enriched themselves with the spoils of the
enemy, who sought for safety within the walls of Rudschuck.
" On the 4th of July, the Grand Vizier, with all the Chiefs
and Pashas of the army, marched against the enemies of the
faith. Although the bombs and bullets of the Russians str-
rounded our troops, they made them lose nothing of their cou-
rage and firmness. Three times they attacked the works, but
their efforts failed before the fortifications of the place. Never-
theless the Russians feared being able to resist a tourth assault.,
which our troops were preparing to give, and evacuated the
place in the night.
44 As soon as our troops were informed of the fligirt-of the
enemy, they precipitated themselves into Rudschuek,'4lllthough
General Kutusow, with forty thousand men, had passed the
right bank of the Danube, and the Russians who were Zit Wid-
din, amounted to a considerable army.
" Nevertheless with the assistance and aid of the Most High
and the spiritual succour of the Yriace of claw Prokiwu,

Besides the considerable booty made by ourtroops, a large quan-
tity of proviiiona which the enemy had collected at Rudschuck
fell into our handi.
• 4‘ The Grand Vizier, in his dispatches of the 26th of this
month (July l'L)' bestows.the greatest praises on all the Pashas
and other Officers of the army, and recommends them to the
confidence and good will of his Highness. The bridge thrown
Over the Danube, has been broken down by the ussulmen,
and a ball having set fire to a caisson of artillery, one half of the
bridge was burnt. The Grand Vizier has sent for all the pon-
tons trom Widdin, and is preparing to continue some days be-
fore Gioyglowa, which place be will make every exertion to
take by assault. •
• 46 Such, thanks be to God, and to the fortune of his High•
nest, are the brilliant victories which are the prelude to the
vengeance which we will take of our enemies. We will still
MAC the most extensive preparations, and employ the most
efficacious means, to wrest from the hands of our enemies the
places, castles, and countries of the Ottoman empire which they
have taken from us; and we entreat the All Powerful God that
he will enable us to take a speedy and signal vengeance on the
enemies of the faith and of the empire."
PANscoWA, AUGUST 12.—Some hostilities have recom-
menced between the Russians and Turks, commerce is entirely
interrupted between Panscowa and Belgrade. The Russian
troops which have remained, at Belgrade, hold themselves
in readiness to depart at the first notice. Czerni George has re-
paired to the principal Servian camp established at Delegrad. A
general action between the Turks and the Servians is expected
