killed—almost all the Hussars, who suffered the most ;
LOCO wounded; 500 horses brought to Krajova, the
same number left dead at Karakal ; more than 1,000
muskets, lances, sabres, uniforms, equipments of all
sorts and sizes, carriages fall of baggage ; 115 prisoners,
land what, after all, is the best of the thing, and does
not often happen in warfare, the six pieces of cannon,
all with, perfect harness, with their carriages, caisson;
&c., au grand complet, all captured by an inferior
force without guns, and brought by us in triumph to
Kar..ikal. After beating the Russians handsomely, we
pursued them as far as the Aluta, where a good number
were drowned. The Colonel of the 10th Hussars, the
Major of the same regiment, and more than ten other
officers, were killed. 'he whole of the Russian artillery-
men, without exception, were killed at their guns.
"Yesterday morning a courier, who had been sent for
the purpose from Karakal, conveyed the news of our vic-
tory to Krajova, and the return of our column with
all its trophies. In an instant the whole of the army
mounted on horseback, and came out to meet us, with
a band of music at their head, and uttering shouts of
joy. All Krajova met 114. All the trophies were there.
The prisoners marched first. The six guns above all pro-
duced a prodigious effect. They are the first that our
corps has taken during a campaign in which it has in-
variably been victorious. The Turks were in the great-
est enthusiasm, and, indeed, they had good reason to
be so. Last night Krajova was illuminated. A courier
has been sent to Ornar Pasha. The guns are in the
square of the town, and will remain With our corps
d'arinee during the whole of the campaign. The Turks
have lost 100 killed and 150 wounded. The result of the
affair will doubtless be to give us definitive possession of
the Aluta ; and we shall take up position at Slatina and
Karakal. The Russians are in full retreat on Bucha-
rest. The bridges of the Aluta are cut. We are admi-
rably situated at Krajova. We are feted and invited out
by all the Boyards in the country. I assure vou we find
our present quarters, particularly after our hard winter
at Kalafat, after all our privations, and all our suffer-
ings'
somewhat of a Capua ; but you won't deny that
we have richly earned it. Our camp is at the en-
trance of the town, in a beautiful situation. All
the superior officers are quartered in the town. A
Frenchman, M. de Raymond, who has been established
for the list 10 years at Krajova, as Director of the
French University, learning that a countryman
of his named Mercier had arrived at the head
of the Turkish regiment which he commands, came
to the camp and claimed him from the General-in-Chief
as his guest, and lie gives to him the most cordial and
unbounded hospitality. The family of M. de Raymond
is composed of hi: wife, also French, and three children.
There are about 20 French residents at Krajova."

ANOTHER SUCUESSFUL EXPEDITION.

A letter from Copenhagen, dated yesterday, says
it is reported that some English vessels, off Brah-
stab, in Finland, demanded the gunboats building
there. They were refused the entrance into the
harbour.

They took or destroyed the gun-boats and a large
number of merchant ships, and fired the wharf.
Ten thousand barrels of tar, and property worth
300,000 silver roubles, were destroyed.
COPENHAGEN, June 9.—Great complaints are
made here of the unjust and unaccountable capture
of the Danish schooner Franciska, Captain Michel-
sen, which was last month seized and carried into
Farey Sound. This ship took in a cargo of wine
and salt iu Spain, and was bound to Riga, or to
Memel, if this harbour was blockaded. The bill
of lading was to order, but the goods probably be-
longed to a Hamburg house. On reaching Copen-
hagen, the captain, ou May 13, repaired to the com-
mander of an English armed vessel, then lying in
the roads, and asked whether Riga was blockaded.
"No," was the answer, the commander bidding the
inquirer obtain further information from the English
cruisers he would meet. On arriving at Lyserort,
at the entrance to Riga Bay, between the mainland
and Osel, but at a great distance (thirty Danish
miles) from the blockaded harbour, the Franciska
saw an English cruiser lying at anchor. She im-
mediately approached of her own accord, backed
her sails, and received a boat from the cruiser to
demand her papers. She was ordered to keep near
the Queen's ship ; but in the evening a prize crew,
consisting of a midshidmau and three men, were
sent on board, three of her own crew were taken
on board the cruiser, and she was declared a fair
prize. If this statement is correct, the English
commander has been guilty of an act of glaring
wrong. The Franciska must immediately be given
up to her owners, and full satisfaction be made
for all losses sustained. Mistakes may be made,
but no illegality must be committed or persevered
in. The whole case must be honestly inquired
into, and full justice done.
