priittispußGH, LY.25.-The supplement of
the r; urt Gazette of this day contains the following
igencerespeding the engagement with the Grand

Vi7it r

" On the t Ith Of June, old style, the• Comman-
der in Chief of the forces on the other side of the Da-
nube, attacked, with the army under,l4command
the troops of the Grand Vizier, who were encamp
ed on the heights of Schumla. After an obstinate
resistance, the enemy were driven from the woods
and heights, and compelled to retire under the walls
of the fortress, with the loss of, three stand of colours.
the right wing of our army pbssessed itself of a
height, covered with a thick brake of briars,- i,vhich
being-close to the Turkish entrenchments, seriously
menaced them. The Turks did not desist until the sp."
proach of night from their efforrs to regain:possession
of this height.
On the i2th of June, the TurlA made a new
attempt upon the height with the greater part of
their force. .Lieutenant-General Lewis formed a
grand hollow square on the right, and posted the
troops under Adjutant-General Prince Teubezkoi,
in two hollow/squares on the left. The enemy con-
silmed the whole'd the day in repeated and despe-
rate eff .rts to break our square on the left, incessant-
ly suppor;ing his -troops with fresh reinforcements,
and the fire on both sides was tremendous ; but the
vielorious troops of his Imperial Majesty frustrated
all these efforts With distinguished gallantry, defeat-
ing the • enemy, and compelling him to retire.
within his entrenchments with a very considerable
loss.

" The centre and left wing. of our army, which
could undertake nothing Of iMportance against the
Turkish entrenchments, which were strongly fortis
fled, made various movements in advance, occa-
sionally firing cvlth their artillery upon the town as
they. proceeded ; but nothing could divert the enemy
from his attacks upon our right wing. About three
o'clock in the afternoon, a body of Turkish cavalry,
nearly 5000 strong, rushed out of the fortress,*and
a part of them charged our left wing in front, whilst
the rest endeavoured to turn it ; but by the well-di-•
reeled fire of our artillery, and,a successful charge of
our cavalry, they were twice defeated, and -driven
back upon Sebum's, •
The General in Chief Count Kamenskoi (2),
bestows the most distinguished encomiums -upon the
gallantry of the troops under his command; who op-
posed,. with indefatigable energy, a hostile force
greatly superior in numbers ; and he particularly
mentions the aaive exertions and intrepidity of the
Adj. Gen. Prince Trubezkoi.
" Our loss amounts to 1000 men, and to the re-
gret of the whole army, we have, among them, lost
the highly esteemed and experienced Major-General
Popondopolo, who fell on the first day by a cannon
bal. The loss of the enemy must have been un,
-c,mtnonly great. •
- "On the 16th olline, Major-General Zysyrew,
pursuant to. orders from the Commander-in-Chief,
had to change the position of the troops belonging
to his detachment, to watch, not only Warna, but
also the coasts of the Black Sea, upon which time
of the enemy's vessels of war had .arrived. This
movement could not be concealed from the ene-
my. 'Six thousand of them made a sally from
the fortress and furiously attacked our troopsi who,
however, instantly took up advantageous positions
on the heights, anl received the enemy with
the areatest breavery. This hard fought aelion
lastedt' from three in the morning until eleven
o'clock; but alter the failure of all their attacks,
with great loss, the remains of the. Turkish hordes
betook themsaves to flight, in which they again
suffered a very considerable loss from our cavalry,
,who pursued them, and a brisk fire from the for tress,
by which they endeavoured to prevent the approach
of our troops, without any consideration for the
safety of their own. Our loss is not yet ascertained ;
but, thanks to the Almighty, it is not great.—The
loss of the enemy in killed was immense, almost
the whole of the field of battle being covered with
their dead bodies. • "

On the• 18th of June, Lieutenant-General
Lewis, after a few .skirmishes, took possession of
the town of Oshuw, on the road from Schunda to

Trenowa.
" On the 2 ist Lieutenant-General Woinow, and
Major-General Count Strognow, were ordered •to
fall upon a body of 2000 cavalry, who had come out
of the fortress\ to forage. They executed their or-
ders with the most dMinguished ability and intrepi-
dity. The enemy abandoned the forage they had
collected, and fled with the loss bf 200 killed, and
three officers,: and 100 rank and tile made pri,

soners.
" On the 223 June the General of Infantry Count •
Kamenskoi took post with the corps under his
command, on the road leading from Schumla to
Constantinople, by way of Tschelekawy.
" Major-GenerAl Count Sukoto, who passed the
Danube on the sth alone, and effeaed a junction
