sic cling that fortress. che battle according
20 the advices from the Grand Vizier, las
ted from early in the morning till night, and
the Russians, who made their attack along
the whole line of the Turkish army. more
than 10 600 men--both armies fought prin-
cipaliy with the sword. and the fortune of
the dav was decided by the coming up of Mu-
Catar Pacha, in the critical moment, with
his Albanian cavalry.
The Russians, after the battle, retired
TO their entrenched camp before Silistria.--
Two days before the garrison had made a
sally, and killed about 1000.
"On the 9th November the Porte receiv-
ed from the Grand Vizier more circnm-
stantial account of a general action which
took place between the two armies, in which
the Russians suffered defeat, and were
obliged entirely to evacuate the right bank
OF the Danube, that is TO say, with their In :
fantry. which passed thar river 1T Wirsoya,
while the cavalry which covered the retreat
had no other way, as the Turks had broken
down the bridge, but the road to Badadaz
and to pass the Danube near Watschim.-
This cavalry was. however, closely pursued
