Guards, the a1st Brigade Of the 18Th Division

To the lett side of ihe strait of Varna, e.,
threaten the right wi,'g of Omer Vrione. By
the rapid and comTi,ic execution of this
movement, the Turkish camp in the village
of Hada Ilassan fell intO our hands. The en-
envy lost one 81 andard, and about 500 men.
Meantime Prince Eugene of Wurtemburg,
arrived from the camp btfOre Shumla. with
the LIST brigade of the 18th division, and hav-
ing been Joined by the Goth regiment of va
gers, he joined Gen! Suchonnzet on TIN. a8th
Sept according to the orders he had RECEIVE
ed. On this day Gen. Bistrone repuled n
serious attack. The enemy, who. since his
arrival, had begun 10 entrench himself, left
his camp ia great force, and sttackc,laonr re-
doubts. The actioa continued with great i'm
pet,0sity for four hours. The Are Of our
battery. as well as IA vigorous charge with the
hayunut, exrcuted by, the first battalion Of the
Ysgers III the Foot Guards, rs well as by
the iirst Battalion nf the Grenadiprs of the

and the Turks reiterated, leaving behind L.
600 killed. In This engagement the enemy
brought forward $4,000 infantry and cavalry,
and had an equal number in the intrench

Grenadiers Of the Body Guard, and, Of Cot.
ZackOw, of the same regiment; both fell al

Austria, Oct. 9.
The Turks have been discomiitted in Lit
tie Wallacia, and our Funds have in cOnse-
quence, fallen. Our last letters from Bncha-
rest, of the Goth September. and those from
Semlin, ofthe list and cd of this month inform
US that the Osmalis, beaten at BrOsbay and
Tcheret, have fallen hack on the Danube.--
The Sultan who has induced his, ,invincihle
soldiers neither 10 take nor give quarter, pro-
badly did not add that they were to kill them-
selves an the spot, for they have Hed for it
pretty nimbly. Winter, we expect, will shew
us many such scenes.
Ia spite Of the pains the Russians take to
conceal their operations that they may not
be taken cOgnizance "f by our army OfdipIo-
matists, it appears certain that they intend
commencing very active campaign as soon
as the Danube shall be frozen. Already they
have begun to put the formidable Ibrail in
state of defence, and as Varna cannot much
longer hold out, If she has not ALREADY fallen,
they will establish themselves in Tartary BO-
broudje. SO as to be enabled to commence
suddenly offensive operations. the effects Of
which are incaicuabIe. We may use this
expression, for the emperor Nicholas, deceiv-
ed in his first hopes, will never return his
sword until he has dictated such peace to
the Grand Seignor as will secure him every
thing.
