The day before yesterday Te Deum was performed in the
Cathedral for the taking the fortress of l'oti. Their Ma-
jesties, the Grand Duke Michael, Lord Heyteshury,
the Danish Ambassador, the Foreign Consuls, &c. were
present.

day morning from Kustendji, among the passengers were

Lieutenant-General Von Dornberg, and Count Nostitz.

Our Journal gives the particulars'ef the taking of Poti,
which was occupied by our troops on the 27th July. By
order of General Sipagin, Major-General Hesse invested
Poti on the 20th July, with a corps formed of the troops
in Mingrelia and Imeretia, and a body of Mingrelian
militia, commanded by Prince Dadean in person. A fire
was soon opened on the fortress from the batteries, and
after six days' cannonade, by which the fortress was much
damaged and a considerable breach made, the garrison,
composed of the inhabitants of the neighbouring provinces,
laid down their arms on condition of being allowed to retire
unmolested to their homes; 44 pieces of cannon,l3 standards,
and a great quantity of ammunition and provisions fell
into our hands, The situation of Poti, which commands
the mouth of the Phasis, renders the acquisition of it
highly important to Russia. Our whole loss, during the
siege, was only 7 killed and 14 wounded, among whom
there was not one officer.
