.HORSE RAGE IN RUSSIA.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED PETERSBURGH, AUG.I7.
The long-talked-of match between two English
horses and two Cossack norses, for seventy-one versts,
or forty-seven English miles and a third, took place on
the 4th of August, and was won by one of the English
horses.
The match was originally proposed by the Cossack
General Count Orloff Deneessoff, Generals Alexeij
Orloff, Vassiltshixoff, Levascheff, and Prince Dolgo-
rouki, the Master of the Horse, and was accepted by
Count Matuszewic. The stakes were 50,000 roubles,
the road fixed upon was from the Ligova Canal through
Zarsko-sselo to Gatchina, a distance of thirty-five and a
half versts, and back to the slatting post. The road is
paved at the bottom, and the surface is dreadfully hard
and stony. The Cossack party had taken every pre-
caution to procure the best horses of the breed. count
'Orloff Deneessoff went himself to the Don, in order to
pick them out ; and there was not a tribe of the Cos-
sacks but what furnished their quota. Cossacks of the
Don, the Black Sea, and the Ural, Calmocks, Bashkir',
and Kirguees, all sent their most celebrated racers ; and
in this way above twenty horses arrived at St. Peters-
burgh, from which the two best were selected after a
variety of trials, which rendered their party quite con-
fident of success. In the meantime the English horses
were neither seen nor heard of. It was only known that
Count Matuszewic had imported some for the purpose,
with grooms to train and ride them ; and the English
party went on steadily. backing their horses at 4 to si
and 5 to 4. without alarming themselves at the whis-i
Iperedmiraculous trials or the Cossacks.
The day arrived, and the horses fixed upon were a
bay Cossack of the stud of the late well-known Heiman,
Count Platoff, and a chasnut, Zconide, of the stud or,
Count Kutcinikoff. The former was rather a co irse
vulgar animal, high in the hips, but good in the loins,
and chewing considerable powers. The I itter, th.ugh
bred on. the Don, was a very neat horse, betraying
clearly its Arabian descent. The English horses
brought to the post by Count Matuszewic, were Shar-
per, by Octavius, dam by_ Gohanna, bred by the Earl
,of Egremont, and Mina, by Orville, out of Barrosa, by
'Vermin, bred by Lord George Cavendish.
The horses started at five* inntes past five in the
morning, the Cossacks leading on one side of the road
at a modeiate pace, and-the Eaglish I 'Bowing on the

The C iptain Paella having landed a quantity of a: t 1 ery
and several Europeans, sent to the Commanders o' te
European vessels on that station, to request cf them to
persuade the inhabitants -of Mi;solonghi to capitf ate,
on being permitted to retire with their arms and all
their possessions. Tttese good mediators, from Pure
philanthropy, endestioured to induce the inhabitants
and Chiefs to accept the generous pro Position of the
Pattie, by representing to them the danger they would
be exposed to if they did nor, and telling therri that
Ibrahim Paella was in the heart of the Morea, that our
mariners disagreed, that the Si)ezziotes wete transpo:t-
Mg their families to America, and that the Hydriots
were preparing to do the same ;. and they said many
other things suggested to tfem, by their desire to save
so many persons from the unsparing anger of the great
Aga ; but all their rhetoric had np effect on. Bozzaris.
Many Chiefs hesitated, and seemed inclined to ,surren-
der, thinking they might confide in what was told them,
and trust to the counsel of so many brave men ; but
the hero Bozzaris told them, that he and his 500 men
would remain and,become victims of their devotion to
their country. He therefore seat away the mediators
with words dictated by the bitterness cf his soul, and
they returned to the Pacha with his answer,heggirg
him. to pay no. attention to the words of men 'driven to
despair, bet to treat them with his accustomed philan-
thropy, on his becoming master of she place. In con-
cert with ltedschid Pacha, he began then to prepare for
the assault, which took place early in the morning of
the 2J of August.
" The Captain Pacha sent 100 small armed vessels, '
with 5000 men, who began the attack by sea. Whilst
Redschid Pacha, with 3000, as it is generally said,
seconded him by land. The engagement was obstinate ;
the sky was hidden by the smoke, and the earth trem-
bled from the shock of .the cannon. The battle lasted
six hours, during which time the Eoropeau Commanders
could see nothing on account of the smoke. At last dre
cannonading ceased, and two hours after, when the
smoke had a little subsided, they saw the standard of
the Cross still remaining on the fortress of Missolonghi.
Then the Commanders approached in their boats, and
saw. how terrible the defeat of the barbarians had been.
The trenches were filled, and the sea covered with dealt
bodies. They say there were 15,000. killed and wounded.
In. the meantime arrived Miaulis, and the Captain Pa-
ella was obliged to flee to Castor, on which the Greeks
binned one frigate, one c. rvette, one schooner, and took
all of the 100 small vessels which had been engaged
n this affair. Thus ended this famous expedition against
Missolonglii; The land forces fled, pursued by our
troops. On the 4th of August the Captain Pa:ha ap-
peared in the waters of Zante, and Audis was in chase
of him. This news was brought us by eye-witnestes
the combat, among whom were the Austrian Com-
mander,. Bonratovitth, and the Captain of an Englit's
frigate mitred at Corfu. The bells of Zante rang from
the morning to the evening. The people seized on se-
veral merchants, wbo were known to be in the sere'ce
of the Captain Pacha and Ibrahim Pacha, and would
have, put them to death, had not the local river:spent
prevented it. The Austrian vessels in the port wee
