THE BATTLE OF TeIIINGLYL. ' •

(From the lavalide Rune.)
Report sent by the Russian officer commanding
the daachment of Erivan to the commandant of
the active corps of the Turkish frontier of the
Caucasus:

The commander of the army of the Caucasus has
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 Baron
Wrangel, commander of the detachment at Erivan, to
the Lieutenant-General Prince Bebutoff, commander of
the c)rps on active service upon the Turkish frontiers of
the Caucasus, dated the 18th (30th) July, containing an
account of a brilliant victory glined, on the 17th (29th)
July, upon the heights of Tchinglyl, over a body of
12,000 Turks, who came out of Bayazid, under the cow-
roam! of &limn Paella, and marched upon our frontier.
I have the honour to acquaint your Excel! ucy that
the enemy was completely beaten, on the 17th (29th)
of this month, upon the heights of Tellingly!, by the
troops forming the detachment of Erivan placed under
my command.

On the Mb (28th) July I left the ge villfi f with

enemy, the crest of the hills But it rained the whole
night, the road was dreadfully cut up, it was extremely
difficult to ascend the abrupt declivities of the /noun-
and it was noon before I arrived at the road on •
the sum'nit with the whole cf the cavalry, four batta-
lions, and eight guns, belonging to the light battery,No. 7. The enemy, to the number of nearly 12,000
men, infantry and cavalry, had already taken up a strong
position there. Across the defile, which at this plane
extended to 300 sagenes in breadth, he had placed four .
pieces of cannon, five battalions of infantry, and behind
them about 5,000 horsemen. The neighbouring heights•
were also occupied with infantry. I gave the troops i..
r •
hour's rest ; and then, with the four battalions I bay
with me, without waiting for the arrival of the fifth,
or the four guns, which were delayed by the bad
state of the roads, I decided upon attacking the Turks'
having perceived that they were continually receiving ;'..
reinforcern•• nts, that they had opened fire upon us froni
f err guns, and that they threatened to turn both our
flanks upon the heights, from which, sheltered h/
the rocks, they caused us some loss by a weltdirected,
fusillade. I opened fire from my eight guns, which I did
Hot delay causing to advanee, and threw a shower ea
grape against the centre of the enemy's position. poste
the infantry upon the flanks of the battery in two lines!,
with the cavalry behind (four sotnias of Cossacks, an
four of militia), in order that at a particular moment the
infantry might give place, and, the cavalry rushieg
through the intervals and by the flanks, both might then
charge the Turks simultaneously.
After having maintained for a short time a well-suir
ported fire from our artillery and tirailleurs, I led the, , •
troops to the attack in the defile, under a concentrate
cross fire from the enemy, with the object of driving in
his centre and cutting off the retreat of that portion:
his troops which ()coupled the heights upon our 11-'nls.
This: movement was crowned with complete succeS _

the infantry, and at the same time charged with the
lance by Lhe cavalry—his centre was broken, all tn
uns
troops stationed at that point put to flight, his four g-.
were iminediatety turned, and by this opera
those who occupied the heights upon our flanks WTr
completely intercepted. Having ordered the cavalry
~
to pursue the enemy, whose centre had been thus °en ,
stroyed, I marched the infantry in columns npo
the heights, in order to take in rear and g'wo

O„ our side we had in the foot regiments en4iitehal
Cossack regiments 1 subaltern officer and 56 men ki" e,
10 subaltern officers and 227 men wounded. One sup__
rior officer (Lieutenant Colonel Sacken), 4 subaltern
officers, and 35 men sustained contusions. The militias a
lia4 had about 70 mei, killed arid wounded, but,

as they are concerned, we have not as yet any po

by ball at the commencement of the action.
ion
Ili the forenoon of the 18th (30th). July, a deputat
:core Bayazid arid the surrounding villages waited upon
• carder to make the submission of the tubabitants.
They announced that the Turks had abandoned Bar:
zid in complete disorder, having dispersed in different
directions; and that they had wholly evacuated the die;e
trict of Bayazid. I have sent an avant-garde, unde .
the command of Colonel Khrestchatitsky, to occupy th
city, and I shalt repair thither in person with the whole
detachment. In fact, on all the roads, wherever our
patrols have hitherto appeared, nothing is met with eS
cept, traces of disaster and flight—the wounded aban'
(toned, dead bodies, provisions, arms, haversacks, and
nuiperoue other effects—but nowhere has the enemy
beet, seen. I believe the result of this conflict will be
the complete subuit•Lsion of the Sandjak of Bayazid, the.
occupation ef its chief places, and the entire destruction '
of the Turkish division of Bayazid.
I render grateful testimony to your Excellency of the
remarkable bravery of the troops under my command.
Officers and intm ,narched with the utmost enthusiasm into
battle, and their attack was as deci,ive as it was brilliant.
With the view of gaining tone, I forthwith sent the
colours. with a copy of the present report to M. le COW: ".
inandant of the army of the Caucasus, confiding them to
the subdienter.ant of the regiment of Ciasseurs de Tifii:st.
Boron Wrangel, who was attached to my person, bes_
cause this officer carried off the flag of the Ar,,;
after having killed with his own hand the man tv"

carried it.
I shall have the honour soon to report to your Ele
lency the result of the movement upon Bayazid.
