Aistract of: a Letter from an Officer of wane,.
BLuctua's Staff, dated Brcehtelschaf, now hoer;
August 26, at Midnight—
u We have today obtained a victory. We bed
made on; dispositions to attack, and sitowt going
to put them in execution, when we were infer=
ed of the enemy's columns advancing upon us
across the Ratibach. We instantly chAnged our
plan—concealed our columns behind some low hills,
merely skewing our adv,inccd guard, and appeared
to act on the detensive.

" Upon this, the enemy attacked with great, vio-
lence, when we moved forward with rad:dity from
behind the hills. For a moment, the battle was at a
stand. We brought more cavalry into action ;at last,
manes of ow infantsy attacked the enemy with the
bayonet, and prtcipitated him down the deep decli-
vity to the rivL r Katabach.
" The Russian General SACKEN supported us id.
mirably. The enemy's attack upon General Lau_
(masses position was frustrated -by our attacking. the
I enemy's rear. A great deal of artillery is in Our
hands: It is midnight, and we have not yet aster
trained the number. This battle is called the battle
jot liatzbach."

fall before the lst October next, which. consequently,
be has lost. 'llie same person has taken large bets at
very great oddi, that Pampluna will not fall before
Ist Octther, Ist November, and stme as far as the
Ist January next. •

with such violence, that the knife appeared at his
back—the other received a dreadful wound in the
side, and a severe stab in the thigh. They were taken

hope of recovery.
