Lieutenant-Genera Langeron reports as fol-

10000 men, and thirty cannon, left on the 24th
Of September the ntrenchments at Kalafat.

guished themselves on the day, and also the
Tamsk Regiment OF Infantry, which repulsed.

"Af.er this action General Geismar saw very
clearly that he should be attacked again on the
following day, and that the enemy, who were
so very superior, might easily surround him, or
at least attack him in flank. He therefore re-
solved to attack him a second time the same
night, and executed this resolution with the most
brilliant success. After q desperate resistance,
the Turkish regular troops were destroyed the
other corps gave way in the greatest confusion;
and, seized with terror, they fled rs far as Kal.
afat, where about 10 900 men arrived without
their arms, which they had thrown away. The
loss Of the enemy amounts to some thousands kill
ed, and 600 prisoners. Among the former is
the Pacha of Albania. The whole Of the enc
my's camp fell into our hands, besides "a pair
of colors, 7 cannon, and a great number Of
horses and wagons, with ammunition and pro-
visions OF oil kinds. We lost nearly 600 men
killed and wounded"
This splendid victory ensures the tranquility
Of Little Wallachia, and hinders the execution Of
the .Seraskior's plan TO lay waste that province,
and cut off its communication with the Russian
corps destined for i,s defence. His Majesty has
recompensed Major-General Geismar, by pro-
noting him TO the rank Of L ieuienant General.
