number of cattle. The appearance Of
our troops in the peninsular of Galata
must have made great impression on
the garrison of Varna, whose situation is
reported by the prisoners to become daily
more difficult Since the beginning of the
siege, the enemy has lost 5000 men in the
fortress, without reckoning the considera-
Bile losses which he has sustained in the
numerous sallies, and in the works taken
by our troops.
This morning the enemy sent detach-
ment OF 400 or 500 cavalry against Lieu
tenant General Golowin. A few cannon
shot sufficed to drive them back. On
another side, however, the enemy made
serious sally about three o'clock. He
attacked us on the right side, protected
iDy the points which he still occupied, and
just at the spot where our fascines were,
very near to the bitches of the fortress.
1t was probably his intention to destroy
our works. The action was warm. but
the enemy found it impossible to attain
MS object, and was not only repulsed by
the 18th and 18th regiments of Chasseurs
at the point of the bayonet, but compelled
to abandon his positions, which were oc-
cupled by our troops. We found in them
SO many slain Turks, that it was necessa-
ny to remove them before our troops occu-
pied them. In this successful action some
OF our brave men were killed. Major
General Perowskin was wounded by
ball.
NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN TURKEY.
ST. PETERsBpRG. SEPT. 10.
( On board the Vile de Paris, Sept 8.
After describing the Emperour's Jour-
ney from Odessa to Kavarna, the Bulletin
proceeds as follows =
When his Majesty arrived at Kavarna,
the Grand Duke Michael had left that
place to proceed to Varna, with the two
divisions of infantry of the guard.
/ A few hours before the Flora frigate
had anchored in the roads of Kavarna, the
Emperour went on board that vessel in the
afternoon of the 9TH, and on the Sth re-
Joined his feet in the roads of Varna,
where he went on board Admiral Greigs
flag ship, the Vile de Paris.
From Issktsha to Varna the Emperour
found the service of the post houses Or
ganized as in Russia, and the road cover
ed with conveys of provisions and suffers.
His Majesty travelled alone in his chaise
with Aid-de-Camp General Berkendorff,
escorted by some Cossacks.
Some hours after his arrival on board
: the VsIte de Paris, the Emperour went
on shore, to see the state of the works for
Tic SCtgU Uf VaIuus His -M~ies&y beran
, by visiting Prince Menzikoff, who COM
menced these works with troops very in
ferior in number to the garrison, and con-
Quoted them, till the moment of his being
wounded with success which does equal
honour to his activity, his talents, and his
boldness.
The Emperour, on examining the works
was struck with the rapid progress which
they have made, as well under the General
who commanded them, as under him who
now directs them. Notwithstanding the
continual sallies Of the besieged, our bat
teries are within thirty toises of the for
tress, and after having carried, at the
point of the bayonet, on the 9th, the en-
trenchments which the Turks had raised
to defend the approaches, our troops took
possession of them to-day.
For these two days two bastions have
entirely ceased firing.
To express his high satisfaction to
Prince Menzikoff and to General Perof-
sky, who has performed the functions of
his staff, and continues them under the
command of Count Woronzoff, the EN-
perour has sent to the former the order of
St. Alexander Newsky, and to the second,
that of ST. Anne of the first class.--Jour-
nal de st. Petersburg, Sept. 20.
