" CX3IP AT BAZARDJIK, JULY 10.--The Impe-
rial Head-quarters, with the 3d Corps of the Army,
left the camp at Karassu, early in the morning of the
6th, to advance toward Bazardjik. The 7th Corps
of the Army, under the command of General Woi-
noff, followed at the distance of one and two days'
mar •h. The Head-quarters Were three days in pro-
ceeding the distance of about 80 wersts (54 Eng-
lish miles). The march was favoured by the wea-
ther, frequent thunder-storms having cooled the air.
" The vanguard, under General Rudiger, had
marched before the head-quarters from iCs position
at Bairamdede to 3langali. News had! been re-
ceived in the camp at Karassu that a division of
Turkish cavalry from Silistria had marcheil towards
Bazardjik. It had, however, retired on the ad-
vance of General Rudiger. A few hours after-
wards we learned that a division of Turkish cavalry
from Choumla, at least 4,000 strong, had again
appeared near Bazardjik. On the 7th July there
was some skirmishing between them and the van of
the right wing of our advanced guard, commanded
by General Akimkief. The enemy, who endea-
voured to turn the right wing, attacked in particu-
lar, with great superiority of force, a piquet of thirty
Cossacks, to whose support a squadron of Ilulans
was sent. This not being sufficient, General Akim-
kief sent two squadrons with two pieces of cannon,
which the Turks made efforts to get possession of.
Two battalions of Yagers, advancing in squares,
speedily put the Turks to flight, which was accele-
rated by the arrival of two squadrons of Hussars,
sent by General Rudiger. The Turks retired into
a wood, three wersts beyond Bazardjik, where they
passed the night of the 7th ; but when General Ru•
diger advanced by break of day they had already
withdrawn.
" In this little action the enemy appears to have
had a considerable number kJled. On our side
there were nine killed and forty wounded ; of these
there are Some who have been wounded by arrows.
The advanced guard under General Rudiger, rein-
forced by several battalions, is advancing upon Kos-
tudgi, simultaneously with the advance of the Impe-
rial Staff from Karassu. Adjutant-General Constan-
tine Benkendorf was detached to Kusgun with a
brigade of infantry and a pulk of Cossacks, to take
up a position between Silistria and the Imperial head-
quarters, to cover the latter in case of a sudden
sortie of the garrison of the former fortress. With
this view a camp has been formed at Ressowat, to
continue there until General Roth shall have ad-
vanced with the Gth division, and completed the
investment of Silistria. According to intelligence
received to-day, this may be effected within a few
days, General Roth having made good his passage
over the Danube, near Hirsova.
" On the same day that the advanced guard, un-
der General Rudiger, advanced from Bairamdede
against Bazardjik, the corps of General Schevetschin,
till then attached to the same, and consisting of one
brigade of infantry and six squadrons of cavalry,
moved from Mangali towards Varna. Yesterday
Adjutant-General Coupt Suchtelen set off with the
corps of General Akimkeif, with the view of joining
Gen. Schevetschin before Varna, and of endeavour-
ing with the combined force to effect the surrender
of that fortress. The fleet, which assisted at the
scige of Anapa will also sail for Varna."
" JULY 11.—The corps of General Woinoff will
this day be completely assembled near Bazardjik.
General Roth being now arrived in the vicinity of
Silistria, the main body of the army will be able
shortly to continue its march upon Choumla. General
Rudiger was this morning ordered to attack the
Turks in Kostudgi, where they appeared disposed to
make a stand, but as soon as our troops showed
themselves the enemy retired."
