ALEXANDRIA,

Letter.i have been received from Alexandria con-
taining a bulletin, which we subjoin, giving an ac-
count of the victory gained by Ibrahim Pacha over
the Turkish army, commanded by Hussein Pacha,
on the 30th of July, near Babylon, between An-
tioch and Scanderoon.
EIGHTH BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF SYRIA.
_ _ _

7th of the Moon Rabiul-ewel, 1248 (Aug. 3, 1832.)
On the 2d Rabiul-ewel (July 29) about 2 in the
morning, our army began its march from Murad
Pacha's bridge, and at 10 o'clock reached the defile
called Bylan-Bogasi, distant about five leagues from
the bridge. We there learned that Hussein-Pacha,
Mohammed Pacha, formerly Governor of Aleppo, arid
several other personages, were encamped beyond the
defile, with the remainder of their regular and irregu-
lar troops; that cannon were planted on the heights,
and batteries formed on the most elevated points.
Having by reconnoissances verified the correctness
of this information, the General-in-Chief, Ibrahim
Pacha, ordered Brigade-General Hassan Bey to ad-
vance with the 13th infantry, the sth cavalry, and
4 pieces of cannon, by the road on the right, he him-
self taking the road on the left, with the 18th and
Bth infantry, the regiment of guards, and 12 pieces
of cannon. The other regiments of cavalry were
posted on different points near the defile.

• The enemy, seeing our two columns advancing
upon him, opened a fire from the cannon which he
had planted on the heights above the passage, anti
which commanded both the roads; but our artillery
returned a vvell•sustained fire, and in the course of
an hour, the enemy's guns were all dismounted,
with the exception of one, which still continued its
fire. While the enemy's left wing was suffering
from our artillery, the Bth infantry and the guards
were ordered to advance. In an instant these brave
troops gained the heights on the enemy's left, and
attacked him with astonishing vigour. Obliged to
yield to their impetuosity, the enemy, abandoning
his artillery, baggage, arid ammunition, began, about
sunset, his flight towards Adana. Our army passed
the night on the field of battle.

On the 3d (July 30), at daybreak, all our regi-
ments of cavalry were sent in pursuit of the enemy,
and the rest of the army encamped at Baylan, where
Arif Bey, Colonel of the 10th Turkish regiment,
came over to us. Our General-ia-Chief immediately
appointed him colonel of the 20th infantry.
According to the statement of Arif Bey, his ragi-
meta, on leaving Konieh, was 3,268 strong. BY
desertion, sickness, and death, that number was yes-
terday reduced to 1,880.
Before the flight of Alishe, Pacha of Latakia, 60
horse and 600 foot, belong ng to his corps, pro-
ceeded to Alexandretta, and surrendered themselves
to the mercy of our General-in-Chief, who gave
them full liberty to return home, to go to Egypt, or
to remain in the country. He ordered that they
should be supplied with whatever might be neces-
sary for their journey. These fugitives report that
Alishe Pacha had embarked his harem for Cyprus,
with orders to join him at Alexandretta, whither be
himself, having freighted a European ship, intended
to repair, to meet his Highness Ibrahim Pacha,
taking with him six pieces of cannon.
The regiments of cavalry sent in pursuit of the
fugitive Pachas harassed and annoyed them all the
way to Adana, whence they have returned with
1,900 prisoners.
On the sth, the notables of the town of Antioch
made their submission to our General, and Khalil
Bey, the brother of Mustapha Pacha, was appointed
governor of the district of Bsbylon.
The Pacha of Aleppo passed, in his flights
through Anlab, letiving behind him his cannon,
which have fallen into our hands. We learn that
this Pacha is at Milatia, with very few in his suite.
In the defile of Baylan the enemy lost 39 pieces
of cannon, of which we have obtained possession.
On the 6th (August 2), Eyoub Bey, Iskian-Bashi
of the tribe of Milu, in the district of Urfa, addressed
letters of submission and

quantity of ammunition of every kind. The number
of killed, and the prisoners we have made, amount
to 13,000, without reckoning the fugitives, the num'
lien of whom must be immense; for, according t°
Arif Bey, the enemy had 36,000 regular troop"
scarcely 5,000 of whom remain with Hussein Pact's;
In the affair of Baylan, our loss in killed 110
wounded was 20 men.

The etymology of the word Buccaneer i 9
traced by OxMELIN to a custom which prevailed amoniC
the original inhabitants of the Carribbee Islands, of roast'
ing their prisoner; of war upon frames of clay placed ovef
very ,trong fires. These clay frames were called barbacoar
the place where they were erected boucan, and the cry'
tion boucaner, to roast and smoke.
