Campoi Satounowa, IIth June - u. NJ
Alter our troops had forced the passage of the
| Danube OH the uornng OF the 9Th, the river was
| covered throughout the whole OF that memorable
| diy with vessels transporting soldiers and ar
tiiieGy to the positions abandoned by the enemy.
vs. toiai one Cannon, bomb, and considera-
BILE quantity oil gunp0wder and ammunition in enc
| OF the redoubtS nearest isaktscha.
On the 9Th, the passage OF our troops cont
| nued. The works requr, for establishing bridge
were commenced with great activity. At / A. Nj.
the remainder OF the suburbs OF isaktscha was
burnt by the enemy. In the afternoon, the Emperor
himself set foot the Turkish territory He ira
versed the Danube under the guidance OF ten Ia
peruvian Cossacks. Their Hoffman, once a Pacha
with two tails, held the rudder. BY singular co.
incidence, hi- Majesty received Intelligence the
same day, that the Schah OF Persia had named at
ter him one OF the regiments OF his guard liz Wis
tied all the positions abandoned by the Turks and
presented Marshal Wittgenstrn with one OF the
turn the Emperor embarked with the same Cos
sacks. and was conducted by them TO the Russian
bank.
On the 10th, letter from the Pacha of Isaktscha
announced his intention of surrenderiug the place
| 1t was signitied to him that he would be allowed
TIL ten next morning for accepting the cspituIstion
oifered.-On the Hin, Isaktscha was surrounded
by two divisions Of our troops, and whilst the SUI
perior was visiting the advanced posts, two Otto
man Officers arrived TO announce thai the Conman-
ddnt accepted our conditions, and was ready 10
place the fortress in our possession.
The article ofthe equalization having been agreed
on, about three o'clock two Pachas (Eyoul Pacha
commandment OF isaktscha, and Hassan Pacha, who
had been forced to seek asylum there as his
troops had disbanded themselves after the affair of
the Sth) came TO present their homage 10 the En-
pcror at some distance from the place. At the
same time our troops, guided and introduced by the
Pacha- themselves, took possession of the gates
and ramparts oil Isaki-cha and what seems TO
prove that the actual war is in national or
religious amongst the Turks, is that on entering
the town, our troops found the shops open, and the
Inhsbitants ready TO receive them, our officers and
soldiers were soon seen quietly mingling with
them.
The garrison of lsaktscha and the two Pachas
above mentioned, have obtaned permission TO re
trc but 80 pieces OF cannon Ia stands of colours,
with the ammunition and provisions with which
the fortress abounds, have fallen into our power.
The same day received intelligence OF AN en-
gagencnt which had taken place OH the morning OF
