to retire on Merit Jouich in the greatest disorder. The fire of
the forts was scarcely able to defend them from the ardour of
our troops, who pursued theM :•-:ord in hand.

A soldier of the 12th has been killed, and 16 wounded. The

Ormssa, JULY 9.-The four Russian ships•that have, been
released at. Constantinople, and were to return to this port, havenot yet arrived. It is alleged as a reason, that the captains
have formally protested against their having been sent to the
arsenal, and ordered to return hither, and have consequently
made no use of the finnan of the Porte, but demanded to be
allowed to continue their voyage to the Mediteranean. -The
European Ministers support their well-founded application, for
the loss is great both to them and to the owners of the cargoes ;
but it is singular that, after the experience they have had,
they should expect' the Porte to alter its course. Under
present circumstances, they may be happy that they are ..et at
liberty.
