ceiredbert thieday, dated at Pokitzt, the 7th (190) July.
In
.the first • nkagement of conseqitence which has
taken plac,e, victory has declared itself in favour of
one native country and Of humanity. Prince Basra-
who was employed in the execution of the
_movelnentientrusted to him, in order to effect a junc.
Lion with the first army, fell in on his march with his
avant-garde, with the whole of the enemy's cavalry.
The .Russian troops, whohad long been eager for
'lbattle% fell in upon them, and after the most resolute
4mi:solute of the energy, which rendered this battle
,tittettote tonspicaoos, - nine regiments of tike enemy
'were completely cut down, above 1000 min, and up-
wards of 50 Staff and upper officers made prisoners.
The difficulties which the enemy had. endeavoured
' to lay in the way; of the operations of the second ar-
InyAre pow removed. Nothing now stands in the
way to prevent these two armies, with their united
strength, for preparing for the swarm of their ene-
mies the Late with, which every desolating conqueror
has entfed, sii fAr as the history of natinnn has taught
us. This plitise-worthy battle we can consider as thei
plecke front further brilliant deeds. While victory
will ounductour feelings in a new battle, the Victims
of our opponent will diminish their confidence in the
fortune of war,,as well as their power.and inclination
