Whn we arrhred on the 9:1, of May before

drove back the Enemy, and tOok'possession c,l the,

been attacked in-its turn by the French, who had
colleted all their forces, and were aided by the in-

fcrts,they were obliged to give up rite attempt and
retire. A Foreign Oigcer, lately-arrived at the camp
of the Servisns, headed this attack.

The \Fortress of Schabatz not, as
.was lately
announced, surrender at discretion ; it-was taken by
assault in the night of the 26th and 27th of June.
The t.kirrisani which consisted of scarcely 300-
Turks, expe6ting no quarter, defended themselves
,to the last man. ~ The Servians behaved like barba-
rians on this occasion; they massacred all able to
bear armS,- and cruelly' treated the defenceless inha-
bitants'. •

We learn that insurreCtion makes great progress
in Bosnia. ,In many distriets there are bloody scenes
between. the Christians and the Turks.

".'You have been already made acquainted' with

religious ceremonies which are to be celebrated on

that august day to return.thituks to the Most High.

turally led to call to all those blessings' which

and-their brothers have covered themselves: The
solemnity whichegives occasion to the French to, call
to mind these advantages, and which furniShes them
ivith an opportunity of expressing their' gratitude,
will doubtless, be •for them a'great festival. Every
