TEE BATTL,V OF TJHIYGLYL.

(Front the Javalide Busse.)
Report sent by the Russian officer commanding
the dt-tachment of Erivan to the commandant of
the active corps of the Turkish frontier of the
Caucasus.:
- -

as
The commander of the army of the Cancans 11,1
transmitted to the Minister of War, in order to be brought
under the notice of his Majesty the Emperor, the follow'
ing copy of a report addres=ed by Lieut.-General 800
Wrangel, commander of the detachment at Erivan, to
the Lieutenant-General Prince Bebutoff, commander of.
the carps on active service upon the Turkish frontiers 01
the Caucasus, dated the 18th (30th) July, containing an
account of a brilliant victory gained, on the 17th (29/13)
July, upon the heights of Tchinglyl, over a body °f
12,000 Turks, who came out of Bayazid, under the cep!
'nand of Selim Pacha, and marched upon our frontier.
I have the honour to acquaint your Dace'
- ,ney that
the enemy was completely beaten, on the 17th (290
of this month, upon the heights of TchinglYi; by the
troops forming the detachment of Erivan placed untie
my command.
On the 16th (28th) July I left the village of IgdYr, With
five battalions of infantry, four guns front the batterte
do
position No. 5, eight pieces from ae light battery kr,l
of the 21st brigade of artillery, 7 sotnias C.issacks oft"
Din from the 4th and 231 lisgiments, 6 sotnias from the
Mussulman Regiment No. the Bek Militia, and °llef
sotnia (if Kurdes. In the whole, there were 16 eotnisee
irregular cavalry. I proceeded' by the Orgoff road tor
Bayazid. marching at eight o'clock in the evening, in 't
to conceal my movements and to occupy the next rant;

enemy, the crest of the hills But it rained the ;Ow:
night, the road was dreadfully cut up, it was extreinvi
u3ou:difficult to ascend the abrupt declivities of the
tains, and it was noon before I arrived at the reed .1„
the summit with the whole of the cavalry, four batta
lions, and eight guns, belonging to the light hatot3
No. 7. The enemy, to the number of nearly 1-Liid
men, infantry and cavalry, had already taken up a ntTX,
osition there. Acrosi the defile, which at thin P
;ir
extended to to 300 sagenes in breadth, he bad plaeed
pieces of cannon, five battalions of infantry, ands rilts
them about 5,000 horsemen. The neighbouring g,
so
were also occupied with infantry. I gave the tronPs4
hour's rest ; and then, with the four battalions
with me, without waiting for the arrival of the fift
or the four guns, which were delayed by
be
state of the roads, I decided upon attacking the l•ritle4
having perceived that they were continually recoil";
reinforcements, that they had opened fire upon 115'1.,°er
fur guns, and that they threatened to turn both 7b„
flanks upon the heights, from which, sheltered ea
the rocks, they caused us some loss by a well•dirldtia
fusillade. I opened fire from my eight guns, whic'

grape against the centre of the enemy's position. I coo,
the infantry upon the flanks of the battery in tvit, slid
with the cavalry behind (four sotnias of Comae' tio
four of militia), in order that at a particular motnellbiiiig
infantry might give place, and, the cavalry, rth'theis
through the intervals and by the flanks, both might
charge the Turks simultaneously. 11-snr

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were

estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 American
taken for export. The market closed heavily, with
prices slightly in favour of buyers. The sales com-
prised 5,750 American, 170 Pernam and Maran-
ham, at 5/d.' to 61d. ; 60 Bahia, at 6id. ; 300
Egyptian, at 51d. to 81d.; and 700 Surat, at 41.
• to 41d. per lb. Railway Shares were firmer.
Colonial produce has attracted less attention this
week. West India Sugar has met with very little
inquiry, and Foreign has tended downwards.
Plantation, at a slight decline, has been in increased
request. Native has ruled quiet at 445. 6d. to 455.
per cwt. In Spices very little has been done, and
Pimento is rather cheaper. Rice has not been
freely offered, and prices are steady. Cotton has
maintained previous rates. Ssltpetre has been
dull, and Tallow rather lower. Cochineal has
advanced, and Hemp has been firmer.
The official returns give the last week's sales of
wheat at 45,925 qrs., of barley at 2,212 qrs., and
of oats at 7,492 qrs.
The amount of bills drawn by the Honourable
East India Company from the 9th ult. to the 24th
inst., on the Presidencies was 130,1361.
We have nothing particular from Continental
markets. In Belgium, Holland, and Germany a
calmness in business is reported, and particularly
in the Corn Market, where prices had the dull
appearance which usually precedes decline.
The Corn Market is heavy. It has been esti-
mated, but the precise facts cannot be ascertained
• through recent hindrances under new Custom-
house regulations, that the stocks of foreign grain
at market are equal to about two millions of quar-
ters. For our part we are disposed to conceive the
quantity considerably under-rated. But assuming
the fact, it should show the farmers that there is
no imminent risk of any great fall in present
prices, and herein consists one of the incontestable
advantages of free-trade, that under its operation
sudden and ruinous falls or rises in prices are ren-
dered generally, if not impossible, still of very rare
occurrence. The yield of the harvest must, of course,
be a'subject of speculation, and opinions naturally
vary according to means of information, or of dis-
tricts with which parties are more or less conver- •
sant, whether it bids fair to be an average or
something below, for no man can speculate upon
even a partial failure. But the opinion may be
hazarded that, supposing, far the northern and
more naturally backward parts of the king-
dom, an average state of the weather should
prevail for reaping and carrying the corn, a full
average produce may assuredly be anticipated ;
and this, notwithstanding allowing for the storms
and rain which have partially invaded and damaged
.the ripe or growing grain in some parts, but from
which effects it may be observed the real corn
growing countries have been happily almost alto-
gether exempt.
It is understood that in consequence of the
forgeries of Continental bank paper, the State
Banks on the Continent have decided on the
alteration of their forms, and the quality of the
paper. The Bank of England, also, have deemed
it advisable, it is said, to adopt a more improved and
perfect system for the prevention of forgeries, both
in the form and manufacture of the paper, the
particulars of which in such case will no doubt be
made public in due time.
The business in English Stocks is to a very
limited extent, owing to the causes which have
been noticed under this head for the past two or
three days. Consols have remained 94 to 941 for •
money, and 94i to NI for account. Bank Stock
is steady at 210, and India Stock at 225. Exche-
quer Bills are at par. The New 31 per Cents.
have been 9411 to 94, and the 3 per Cents. 94 to
9411

The Foreign Stock market is very inactive, about
half a dozen transactions only being noted
Spanish 3 per Cents. are 361 to 37, being lower,
and the New Deferred are heavy at 18. Toe New
Turkish Scrip is 61 to 6/, which is a slight decline.
The following are the nominal prices of Fbreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds 6 to 6i, Mexi-
can 241 to 24k, Peruvian 71 to 73, ditto 3 per
Cents. 52 to 54, Portuguese 4 per Cents. 40 to 42,
Russian 5 per Cents. 99 to 101, ditto 4i per Cents.
85 to 87, Spanish New Deferred 171 to 181, ditto
3 per Cents. 36i to 37i, ditto Certificates 4i to 5,
ditto Passive 3i to 4.
There is not much doing in Railway Shares, and
the market, which opened with a firmer appear-
ance, is now rather weaker. The French lines are
neglected, and quotations nominal.
In Mining, Banking, and miscellaneous shares
the dealings are unimportant.
