To-day we have received the official news that Russia
declared war against Persia on the 28th of last month.
The Manifesto fills several pages. At the same time,
we have received the following accounts, dated the 7th
of September, of victories gained by the Russians on
the frontiers of Persia Major General Pr ince Ma-
daton attacked the Persians on the 2d September, who
occupied a strong position on the right bank of the
river Chamhora. The enemy had 2000 regular in-
fantry, eight pieces of cannon, twenty falconets carried
by camels, and 8000 cavalry. Mehmed Mirza, son of
Prince Abbas Mirz and grandson of the Emperor,-as
well as the Sardar A. Mircham, brother of the Emperor,
and other Persians, great men, were at the head of them.
The advance of our army was given notice of at a dis-
tance by the outposts of the enemy, who were drawn up
in order of battle, and awaited our approach. 'The fire
of four Persian cannon, accompanied by musketry, was
pretty violent ; but some artillery placed in a battery on
our side soon silenced the guns of the enemy. Our ar-
tillery was especially directed against the enemy's
cavalry, which soon followed the example of the Com-
mander, Mehmed Mirza, who sought safety in flight.
The Persian infantry was thus deprived of its support,
and our cavalry, consisting of 800 Cossacks, the
Georgian Militia, and some Tartars from the district of
Kazasch, pursued the fugitives briskly, and cut off their
retreat. Terror and confusion seized the Persians—
they made but a faint resistance, and were pursued for
ten versts. The enemy lost in this engagement two
cannon, and above 1000 men were left on the field of
battle. We took one cannon, eleven falconets, and se-
veral powder waggons. After these advantages, Major
Gen. Prince Madaton advanced to Elizabethpol, which he
took without opposition on the 4th of September; but
though this advance after the victory at Chamhora was
made with incredible rapidity, 1500 Persian infantry,
who were in the citadel, succeeded in leaving it before
our troops arrived. The enemy not only did not halt
under the walls of the city, but were even seen to fly in
the greatest disorder to the other bank of the Zeyva,
beyond Elizabethpol. Our cavalry, which advanced 20
versts, did not meet with a single Persian. At Eliza-
bethpol we took possession of the enemy's camp, with
large magazines of provisions. In the citadel we 'found
great quantities of flour, powder, and lead. General
Yermaloff adds to these accounts that Mahometans and
Armenians bad already arrived from Karabascb, who
affirm that since the appearance of the Russian troops
the inhabitants of thole parts were become sensible of
their treason, and are ready to atone for it by imme-
diate submission. On this intelligence Gen. Yermaloff
ordered the Adjutant General Paskewitch to effect, as
soon as possible, his junction with Major Gets. Prince
Madaton, and to march to Karabasch."
