We have just received the following Russian Bulle-
tin, dated Bucharest, Sept. 29:
On the 26th of this month the Turkish troops,
18,000 in number, under the command if the Paella
of Widdin, advanced against the positioa r f Czoroi.
General Geismar did not hesitate to engage them. The
action was continued with great resolution Ti both
sides, from seven in the morning tilt two in the atm-
noon, without any decisive result. Both parties retired
to their former poitions. But at nightfall General
Geismar took advantage of the fancied securittof the •
enemy, advanced rapidly 'Sid att iCied the camp, wh
the Turks had already begun to strengthen with some
redoubts. The attack was conduced with so much
skill, and executed by our troops with so much eau.
rage, that the enemy, though far superior in numbers
could not withstand their impetuo.ity. The Turks be-
ing broken on all sides, sought safety in flight. A
complete route succeeded. Five 'cannon, 24 pair of
colours, 500 prisoners, 700 waggons laden with mums.

of arms, baggage, and horses, fell into the hands of the
victors. The Turks were driven back to their entrench.
menus at Kaletat. At the departure of the courier the
number of the killed left by the enemy on the field was
not known; but, considering the ardour with whistle he
was pursued, his loss must be supposed to have been
very considerable.—Ausirion Observer, Vet. 13.
FRANKFORT. Oct. IS.
The Courieer de jmyrue of the 13th September cos.
tains the following p iragraphs:
AoatANort.g. SEPT. 18.—The force of the Turks
at Schumla is 140,000 men, of whom 70.000 are in the
camp, which is blockaded by the Russians on the side
towards the plain. and 30,000 among the mountains
near the camp, the approaches to which are perfectly
tree, and which are well defended with artillery-
-107,000 rations are daily disuibuted in tiase two posi-
tions—they consist of 12 shames of rice, and 80 drames
of meat and brea.i. Forage is wanting for the horses,
but supplies have been sent from various parts of Its-
melia. A Russian General, who was taken prisoner OA
his way from KavArna to the head-quarters, has begat
brought to the camp, where Hussein Paella received •
him with the respect due to his rank, and gave him a
tent, in which he lives with his domestics. The Yacht'

supplies him with provisions in atuadance.
“We perceive the existence of the war only by the
quantity of provisions that daily pass drough the city,
un its way to the. camp. The order which retails
among the troops, their good discipline, and the Iran.
quillity which the country enjoys, are astonishing, when ,
we reflect that the whole population is under arms, and
that the empire is threatened with a formidable invasion;
" A letter from Salonichi cf the l7th of September,
says, that Macedonia has especially distinguished itself •
by its zeal in maintaining the national honour, having
sent 20,000 men to join the army at Schumla. Salo-.
nichi alone has sent two regiments of regular troops,
and several Beys in that city have equipped small corps
at their own expense. A new levy of 500 meg was,
monthly made for the corps assembling at Rained
Tchiflik. It took place on the very day in which the
Christians of Bulgaria assembled at Salonichi to cele-
brate, as usual, the fete of the Assumption. What 4 .
