/lave evscuated a fort on the Danube. The garri-
son, 1500 strong, which attempted to save itself at
Widdin, has been defeated; they were all killed or
taken.

M. d'ltalinsky set out two days ago for Rttdschuk.
M. Fonton goes off to-morrow to join him.

SULLETIN Of THE MILITARY OPERATIONS OP THE RUS-
SIAN ARMY IN GEORGIA..

cg There has been received from M. Thormasow,
General of Cavalry, and Commanding in Chief the
'Potts in Georgia, a Bulletin dated the 19th Sep-
tember, from the CAmp of Kaschaklissi, which con-
tains the details of a signal victory which several
Russian battalions and a corps.. of Tartar Cavalry
obtained over a corps of 10,000 Turks, near the for-
tress of Achalkalaki.

44 The Sardar. of Erivan, Hussein Kuli Chan, and
the Czarowitch of Georgia, Alexander, General of
the Persian army, having failed in their attempt, ad-
vanced with their best troops into the province of
Biback, from whence they marched into the Pacha-
/yk of Achalyzk, on the frontiers of Carthalinia, with
a design to join the forces of Scherif Paella, and then
to march upon
" General Thomasow having received advices of
this, advanced by forced marches upon the Fort of
Zalki ; and, leaving his baggage behind, he hastily
formed a detachment, consisting of the 9th and 15th
regiments of chasseurs, 200 Cossacks, and the Tartar,
cavalry, commanded by Major General the Marquis
Paulucci, who had orders to penetrate by forced
marches into mountains covered with snow, where
the. enemy thOtaot himself safe, and to attack *his
camp during the night.
66 This enterpize was crowned with the most bed.
liant success. Our troops, under favour of the bad
weather, approached the enemy's camp in the night
pf the,4th September, in the greatest silence, and um;
discovered. The Marquis Paulucci then divided his
detachment into two columns, and ordered Colonel-
Lissanewitk to attack the camp by the right flank,
WEile Colonel Peschuskii marched against th 6. left
flank. Our troops executed these movements in the
greatest silence, and with such precision that the ad-
vanced posts of the enemy did not perceive them, till
the moment when they got-very near the camp. Our
two columns then opened a very brisk fire, attacked
the camp with the bayonet, and cut to pieces all the
nil-kg. and Persians whom. they found there. The
terror with which the .enemy were seized became ge-
neral. The Turks, unabls to comprehend how our
brave solaiers 'could penetrate into the camp, threw
themselvei, out .a their senses, into the ditches within
their reach, The Sardar Hussein kuli Chan Cza-
rowitch Alexander, fled, half naked, upon the first
discharge, and, availing thelnselves of the darkness,
mph refuge in the ditches.- The guard which was
near their tents, attempting to resist, were sabred.—
Two Persian Chans, and above 700 men, lay dead on
the spot. Our sharpshooters, who went down to the
ditches, caused an equal loss to the enemy.
The camp, very rich, was the prize of the con.
quenora, as %sell as four colours, of which one, bear.
