RUSSIAN BULLETIN.

" Head-quarters, Aidos, July 14 (26th).
" After the successful actions of the sth, 6th, and
7th (17th, 18th, and 19th) had opened to the army
tlse passage of the Kamtschik and the road over the
Balkan, the Commander-in-Chief ordered the army
to advance across that mountain, which has long
been regarded as one of the insurmountable bul-
warks of the Turkish empire. The right column,
under General Rudiger, reached Funduri-Dere, on
the other side of the village of Arnautlar. On the
Bth (20th) of July its advanced guard having pushed
forward to near Avadshid, the left column, com-
manded by General Roth, marched towards Aspro,
and its advanced guard reached Paliobano, Oft the
crest of the Balkan. The second corps, under the
command of Count Pahlen, remained with the head-
quarters at Dervish-Yovan, and at the Kamtschik.
" Admiral Greig, with a equadron of three ships
of the line, several frigates, and a great quantity of
transports loaded with provisions, sailed into the
bay of Mesambri, and vigorously bombarded the
town for the space of three hours.
"On the 9th (21st) of July, Gen. Rudiger
reached Avadshik, and his advanced guard, under
Gen. Shiroff, arrived at Erketsh, a village situated
on one of the highest points of the great Balkan.—
Gen. Roth entered Eraclia ; his advanced guard re-
mained in Paliobano, and occupied with a detach-
ment the village, and the cape of Emine. The
head-quarters and Count Pahlen s corps took a po-
sition between the village of Arnautlar and Funduri-

Dere.
" On the 10th (22d) of July, Gen. Rudiger's
advanced guard, consisting of two battalions of the
37th Yager regiment, and the Cossack regiments of
Chernuskine and Yligne, descended the southern
declivity of the Balkan. One of the enemy's divi-
sions attempted for a moment to dispute the passage
of a defile through which the road passes. The
37th Yagers did not reply to the enemy's fire of
and
musketry, but charged them with the bayonet,

in a few moments Overthrew them. The defeat of
the Turkish detachment was complete. The Cos-
sacks pursued the fugitives with great activity, and
out of '2,000 took 131 prisoners, among whom were
two Colonels. They also took one flag. The loss
of the enemy in killed and wounded was consider-
able, while on our side we lost only six men.
" On the morning of the same day, General Roth
proceeded across the Balkan to I'aliobano. The
rocky ground presenting great difficulties at first to
his march, he found it necessary to reinforce the 6th
battalion of pioneers with 2,000 labourers, draughted
from the infantry, in order to make a road. He
afterwards repulsed the advanced guard of an enemy's
corp', near Monastyr-Kiori, which endeavoured to
cheek the march of the column, but which was
obliged to make a retrograde movement towards the
small river of Yoshikioi-Derti. The Scraskier Ab-
dul Raman, Pacha of three tails, who commanded
the troops on the Kamtschik, the garrisons of Mes-
sembria, Achiolin, and the corps of observation op-
posite Sisipolis and Bourgas, assembled 6,000 or
7,000 men on the right bank of the Yuschikioi-
Dere, probably with the intention to cover, by that
central position, all the places on the Gulf of Bourgas,
and to offer battle to such of our columns as marched
to Monastyr-Kiori.
" General Roth advanced with the 4th division of
Hulans, and the battery, No. 28, of horse artillery,
and the two Cossack regiments of Yeshoff and Bo-
clanoff, through that village. He was followed by
the 4th battalion of the 3d brigade of the 17th in-
fantry division, with eight pieces of light artillery,
He instantly attacked the enemy's position without
waiting the arrival of the main body of his column.
Abdul Rahman Pacha withstood the fire of our bat-
teries only a few minutes. His troops abandoned
their position, and were so vigorously pursued by
the Hulans, the Cossacks, and the horse artillery for
nearly 10 versts, that they left behind them two bat-
teries on the coast of four guns each, a wharf, in
which there was a corvette of 25 guns ready for
launching, without making an effort for their pre-
servation. We took from the enemy besides, 400
prisoners, seven standards, and four field pieces.
General Roth left the task of pursuing the fugitives
to the Cossacks, and directed a part of his advanced
guard towards Mesambri. This place is fortified,
and an intrenched camp in front of the tongue of
land which unites the town with the country, pro-
tected the passage to the to-.vn. As soon as
the infantry was concentrated at the head of
the Hulans of the advanced guard, our batteries were
directed against the intrenched camp. Their fire
operated so effectually that 300 men who occupied
the intrenchment being harassed by our grape-shot,
and seized with a panic, threw down their arms, and
surrendered at discretion. They left in our hands
three cannon and ten standards. Our batteries
were now turned without loss of time against Me-
samb►ia itself, which was completely commanded
by them. Osman Pacha, who commanded in Me-
sambri, being at the same time threatened by Admi-
ral Greig's squadron, and closely pressed by General
Roth's artillery, readily listened to the summons of
the latter, and it was agreed to allow him that night
to prepare the garrison and the inhabita►►ts for a
capitulation, which was now unavoidable. Accord-
ingly, in the morning of the following day, .July the
1 Ith (23d), he delivered to Major-General Wach-
ten, chief of the staff of the 6th corps, the keys of
the town, 20 standards, and 15 cannon, and sur-
rendered himself with 100 Turkish civil officers and
2,000 prisoners of war, to the officers charged to
convey them to Russia.
" On the 10th (22d) of July the head-quarters
were in Erketsh, and oil the following day at Ynshi-
Koi, where a part of the 2d corps joined, while the
other half of that corps remained in Kelleler. On
the 11th (23d) of July, General Rudiger's corps
marched upon Alacharia. An enemy's corps hastily
retreated before them towards Aidos, and left in the
camp in the village of Alacharia a great quantity of
,mmunition and two field pieces. General Shiroff,

who was charged with the pursuit, found 1,000
pounds of gunpowder, 2,000 chetwerts of buck-
wheat, and a great number of other articles of less
value, in Dautly. The garrison of Achiolin, inti-
midated by the astonishingly rapid march and the
brilliant success of our army, abandoned on the
morning of the same day that garrison, which was
occupied by a detachment frem the crew of a ship
of the line cruizing before the place. We found
here 14 cannon, one mortar, three powder maga-
zines, and one salt nsagazine.
" Meanwhile General Roth's advance guard,
commanded by Major-General Nebel, received
orders from the Commander-in-Chief to march upon
Bourgas, and General Roth was directed to move
forward his out-posts to Romely-Kioi, on the road
to Aidos. On the 12th (24th) of July, in the morn-
ing, when General Nebel approached the fortress of
Bourgas, the troops of the garrison had the hardi-
hood to march out against him ; being, however,
immediately attacked and defeated by that undaunted
regiment the 4th Hulans, they sought their safety in
flight. General Nabel took, in the first place, two
field-pieces, which the enemy had brought out with
him; and having driven him, sword in hand, back to
Bourgas, our troops rushed into the fortress along
with the fugitives. The garrison abandoned every
thing, and fled in complete disorder through the
southern gate of the town. Ten pieces of cannon,
magazines of all kinds, and the possession of this
important point, are the trophies of the brillian t
deed of arms performed on that occasion. On the
12th (24th) of July, General Roth proceeded with
the 6th corps towards Alacharia. General Rudiger
directed his march upon Eskibashly ; a part of the
2d corps occupied Alacharia; the rest of the army
and the head-quarters encamped in the central posi-
tion of Greek Ynshi-Kioi.
" The movement of our army towards the Kams-
tchik was so completely concealed from the Grand
Vizier, in Shumla, that it was not until the 9th
(21st) of July, four days after the commencement
of our march from that fortress, that he detached a
corps, consisting of nine regiments of regular in-
fantry, a regiment of regular cavalry, and 1,000
delis on foot, with three field-pieces, to reinforce the
post of Kuprikioi. These troops marched from
Shumla under the command of Ibrahim, Pacha of
three tails, and Mehemed, Pacha of two tails, who
had recently arrived from Constantinople to take
the command of the regular troops of the Turkish
army. When this corps arrived on the Kamtschik,
it learned that out troops had already taken and oc-
cupied the intrenchments on that river. The Pachas,
upon this, retreated a few wersts, and then directed
their march on Chengi and upon the village of Chu-
luko, where they were on the 11th (23d), quite un-
certain what resolution to take. However, having
learned on the evening of that day that Abdoul
Rahman Pacha had been defeated on the plain of
Bourgas, they directed their march towards Aidos,
where they arrived on the 12th (24th) of July.
" On the 13th (2.5 th) the Commander-in-Chief
ordered General,Rudiger to direct his march upon
Aidos, and to take a position within four or five
wersts of that place, to wait for the concentration of
our troops, instructing him not to attack Aidos ex-
cept in the case in which he should be certain of a
successful result. General Roth was to advance by
a forced march, and establish himself in a double
line behind the troops of General Rudiger. The
corps of Count Pahlen was to march upon Rumely-
Kioi to Aidos, to within a distance of about four
wersts of the latter place. The Pachas thought the
moment favourable to the execution of their plan
They resolved to attack the advance of our army
before it could be supported by the troops which
were coming up. The Turkish cavalry and a
division of Infantry made a sortie from Aidos
and attacked General Rudiger's Cossacks, who re-
tired on the position. General Rudiger assailed on
his front, but confident of victory, immediately
detached a brigade of the 4th Hulan division,
and directed it so to march as to turn the left wing
of the enemy, which was vigorously attacking them,
The fire of our batteries, and the movements of the
Hulans, did not fail in producing the expected event.
The Turkish advanced guard was overthrown, and
obliged to retreat in disorder to Aidos. General

Rudiger pursued the enemy with eight battalions
and 16 pieces of cannon, under the command of
Prince Gortshakoff. On arriving in front of the
place, he found a corps of Turkish infantry, from
6,000 to 7,000 men strong, posted in the rear, and
on the flank of the town, and with its left wing
resting on the old entrenchments, which the enemy
had begun to repair. General Rudiger, regarding
the town as the key of this positron, directed his
batteries against the main body of the enemy, and
ordered a battalion of the 36th, and another of the
37th Yagers, to advance with the bayonet against
the old fortifications of the town. The enemy
at first defended himself obstinately; but soon,
forced back within their works, and into
the narrow streets of Aidos, they were on
all sides beaten in detail, and put to the
sword by our brave troops. The impression made
by this bold operation was so great, that the Turk•
WI regiments stationed behind Aidos dispersed, and
fled along the footpaths leading to the Balkan, in
the direction of Karnabat. The Hulans and the
Cossacks immediately rode after the fugitives, and
made a great slaughter among them, while the in-
fantry, commanded by Prince Oortshakoff, cut down
all who were not so fortunate to escape in the first
instance. We obtained possession of the whole
Turkish camp; we found in it 600 tents, 500 bar-
rels of gunpowder, 3,000 soldiers' cloaks, and a
great quantity of arms. Four standards and four
pieces of cannon which had been brought from
Shumla, were also taken from the flying enemy.
The town and its environs are strewed with a
considerable number of dead bodies of the enemy.
The number of the prisoners is less considerable—
it is only 220 men. Onr loss scarcely amounts to
100.
" This brilliant victory closes the operations of
the passage of the Balkan. During the whole du-
ration of this memorable enterprise our brave troops
have given fresh proofs of that undaunted courage,
and that unwearied zeal, by which they are dis-
tinguished from all others.
" Surprised and defeated at the same moment,
the Turks had no time to remove from the plain of
Bourgas the inhabitants, who are for the greater part
Christians, and are now tranquilly following their
rural employments. The ports of the Black Sea
promise to present a scene of great activity."

" The reports from the corps of observation in
the Yenibasar, dated July 11 (23), mention that
General Krassovsky, after having on the 3d (15th)
and on the 10th (22d) reconnoitred to the out-works
of the intrenched camp at Shumla, had returned on
the llth (23d) to Yenibasar, without having been
disturbed on his march by any enemy.
" On the 12th (24th) of July, General Poncet,
commanding in Sisepolis, made an attack on the
enemy's intrenched camp near the village of Atei.
On his approach the Turks abandoned their re-
doubts, and some wersts further on they left in their
flight, near the village of Chingansti-Eski-Lessy,
their artillery, consisting of four field pieces."
