thought twenty of them qualified to serve in. that
branch. His Majesty strongly expressed his satis-
faction to M. Bigot, a Captain of Artillery, attached
to the School, with regard to the fire-rockets, with
which he made some experiments in his presence.
The road, all the avenues leading to St. Cyr. the
banks of the canal, and, in short, every place through
which it was supposed their Majesties might pass on
their return to Trianon, were crowded with an im-
mense number of spectators.

was this day celebrated here for the advantages ob-
tained by the Russian army ; and this evening there is
a general illumination. The official accounts that
have been published upon this occasion are as follow:
44 After the reduction of Silistria, Basardschik,
Turtukai and Rasgrad, the General in Chief Count
Kamenskoi, advanced with his victorious army to
Schumla. General Papadopulo was killed by a
musket-ball as he was reconnoitring the redoubts
which surround Schumla : but in the sequel those en-
trenchments were carried by the Russians, who, after
destroying a great number of the enemy, drove the
army of the Grand Vizier into the town, where it is
closely blockaded, and must experience a great scar-
city of provision and forage. On the Ist inst. it at-
tempted a sortie ; but Major-General Woinoff, who
penetrated the designs of the Turks, advanced to meet
them, and killed 200 of them. The enemy upon this
fled with such precipitation, that only 80 of them
could be taken.
" Major-General Yzideroff has also gained several
advantages over the enemy nearVarna, and it is hoped
that he will soon be in possession of that city, near
which Andrew, King of Hungary, was defeated by
the enemies of Christendom.
44 From the 27th ult. to the Ist inst. the garrison of
Rudschuk daily attempted sorties ; but the General of
Division Saas, and Generals Wesinsky and Kiboff, in
every instance, drove them back into the town with
considerable loss.
•4 On the other hand General Count Zoukahoff,
who is at present in communication with the Servians,
continues to make progress. The town of Persa-Pa-
lanka surrendered on the 3d ; upon which occasion
there fell into the hands of the Russians, 3 stand of
colours, 14 pieces of ordnance, 20,000 cartridges,
780 grenades and balls, 21,000 measures of flour,
801bs. of lead and 1501bs. of powder, with a great
quantity of old muskets. The garrison, consisting
lof 732 Turks and 92 Pandours, were made prisoners
of war. Ten thousand Turks have already passed
through this place on their way to Russia.
44 Amidst the horrors of war his Excellency Count
Kamenskoi causes private property to be respected.
He has ordered the restitution of a great quantity of
merchandize, belonging to the Turks, that had been
seized."
