The LORD MiiYort reproved the conll6l of Mr.
Boyd,- in not applying the first instancdr tofhe

• SEMLIN, AUG. 19.-General Jacob Nenadowitsch 1
has transmitted toßelgrade, to the Council of Servia,
the . following details of the military events that I
have taken place on the Calubarra and the Drina,
towards the end of Last mouth, and the begin-
ning of the present :-
4. Tnere was, he says, a suspension of arms from
the Ist .of June to the .24th of July. Owibe 25th
_hostilities recommenced; and to the 27th there were
.only. softie affairs of advanced posts. . On' the
28th, the enemy, with a view to reconnoitre the
position and strength of the right wing of the Ser-
vi•lni, undertook with the Janissaries, to pass the
_Calubarra, and possess himself of Sesakcea ; but he
was obliged to refire, and repass that river. On the
29th, at break of day, Jacob Nenadowitsch-having
thrown two bridges over the Calubarra, forced that
passage,- with his whole army.. The Turks united
:all their troops, :to oppose the march of outs ; btit
;- we ra:,,idly carried all the intrenchnients which the
enemy had thrown...Alp' at Gruschewaz, Krojab,
.Nikicez, and Jarna. Three times were we repulsed
.by the Turks ; but at length; we drove ,them back.
;The day waS advanced when the battle ended; and
_the enemy .retreated upon the Jeser.,
"On the day following we again drove them, in
despite of a very brisk cannonade, from .the pOsts in
which they had entrenched themselves at Baleowiz .
and Sevania, and we dispersed the -whole of . the
corps 'of the Janissaties commanded by the Beg 7 .
lerb_eg of Baujaluca..:2The Turks then retreated pre-
cipitately, and in confusion, to Everabaca, on the
.Drina. They there made a stand.. fur some time,
`protected by the cannon of that place, and afterwards
passed into Bosnia.
" Scarcely had the enemy. gained the Drina, when
here-passed that river on the Ist of August, fortified
the batteries, and took 6y assault the village of Ko-
siak. Nenadowitsch followed them with .all his
forces, and after two hours fighting put them to
the rout. The loss on both sides is considerable.—
The Servians have. left. a number of wounded be-
tweetiYailoiva and Schobacz. They have gained as
a reward fOr their victory, a great quantity of ammu-
nition arid baggage, a number of 'artillery horses,
and some thousands of piastres in gold and silver.,--
The Paella Zwowick; Hadge Persa, has been made
_prisoner, with severatother Turkish Officers."
• . Yesterday, as a boy belOnging to Mr. Hull, live-
,ry-stable-keeper, in Chiswell-street, was riding a spi-
- 'rhea horst, in the Attillery-ground, the horse stun,-
.bled,. the boy fell on,his' head, and was killed on the
.1
spot..., • .. ,
