FALL OF vARNA.
BY the oficia bulletins from The Russian Army,
which will be found in erfenso below, il will be
seen chat Varna has fallen. This is an event which
we were taught to anticipate by the complexion Of
our last advices from the theatre Of war.
RUSSIAN BULLETINS:
Berlin, Oct. 23.-To day, the 22d, tho following
accounts have been received Of the operations be fore
Varna, aud the taking Of that place
1. Operations before parno, from the lf TO the
5M October.
The two mines laid under the walls OF the fortress
were finished to our wish and sprung on The Sd and
4h of October. The frs, was laid with great dit.
fculty, and not without danger to The workmen, un.
der the extreme point oithe bastion towards the sea.
Part of the works Of this bastion was damaged by
the springing of the mine, and fell into The bitches.
The second mine was laid on the right front, under
the second bastion. Colonel Schneider made an en-
trance to it, and charged it with the greatest cour-
age, in spite ofihe fire Of tho enemy, who, observing
what was doing, made four attacks durin the h'gh'
but was each time repulsed with loss. The mine
was sprung at three o'clock in the afternoon, and
the result fully answered our expectations, as two
DreAcneS are Already Ntunc III VI DaSiiou.
The CORPS Of Omer Vrione, Notwithstanding the
endorsements it received, has made no farther
movements to the 18th. (30th September.) On our
side, the corps of Gen Bistrom has been strengthen
ed aed redoubts erected to cover his position. In
this manner tho necessary measures have been TAX
en- to prevent any relief being received by tho for
tress.
Prince Eugene Of Wirtemburg, has left a strong
advanced guard in Hassan LIAR, and has advanced
to Osmanzyk. To strengthen tho right wing Of Gen
Bistrom's position, the corps Of Major General Del
linghausen has drawn nearer to him and has occupi-
ed the village of Reynardzi.
2. Operations before Parma, from the 9th TO the
9th of October.
Our works having opened a way to thefortrcss, II
was resolved TO dctatch some troops TO take possess
sion, il possible, by means OF a breach Of the north
bastion nearest The sea. and to erect a battery in II ;
10 sharp-shoo,ers and chosen sailors were appoint
ed for this purpose, who we're to be supported by
one company of the 18th Regiment Of sharp-shooters,
two companies of the Izmailow Regiment Of the
Guards, and $50 laborers provided with gabions.
On the 7th October, an hour before day break,
the sharp-shootcrs, led by Lieut.. Zaii zoffski oi the
navy, penetrated into the bastion without firing a
single shot, and killed all the Turks that defended
it. Meeting with no resistance these brave men
suffered themselves to be led away by their courage,
and without thinking Of taking possession Of the
basi ion, which was the main Object, they penetrated
into the middle Of tho town. Meantime false at
lacks were made at three different points by our
redoubts on the town, and The Turkish iiralleurs,
who had-concealcd themselves in the bitches Of the
fortress, were driven out Of them.
Notwithstanding this unexpected success, and the
support that continued to be sent To the sharp. shoot
ers, il was To be iorseen thut thcy would not be able
to resist the whole force Of The cnemy's garrison, or
to retain possession Of The bastion. To prevent iur-
Their bloodshed d retreat was ordered. The men re-
tired in the greatest order, and brought with them a
number of Christi IAN women and children, who had
ioinel th. m in Tho toyn. Two DnIr oil cOIOTs found
in the bastion were taken. As it was impossible to
bring II cannon which were there, they were part
ly spiked by our people, aud partly thrown into the
sea. We had so killed and 300 wounded. The loss
Of tho enemy may be estimated at GOO men,
Though this enterprise had not the result tina, was
intended. it served to prove to the Turks that they
were no longer safe in the walls Of Varna, and that
by means OF breaches that had been made, the for.
tress might be taken by storm. Accordingly a
Turkish officer came to negotiate Tor the surrender
ofthe fortress. This morning (the 9th) Jcssuf Pa
cha, one Of The chief commanders in The town, arriv-
ed here to confer with Admiral Greig. This does
not hinder the progress OF our works which are con-
tinued with equal rapldity and success.
Since the Both Of September, the enemy has not
attempted any thing against Gene al Bistrom, who
retains his old position on the south side Of the bay
of Varna. The Turks sometimes appear at a dis
lance, but they retreat at the hrst shot.
3. Operations before Parma fl ON The 9Th to the
I'M of oct.
The difficulties and SUITE, ing OF the army before
Varua have been crowned with victory.
The reduction of the fortress was the result of
general assault, on the 25th of september (r the 7th
oil October in which a lew OF our gallant soldiers
penetrated to the very middle OF the town, on Inc
night Of that day.
Such WA, the alarm produced in the enemy by this
bold aud successful exploit, that n conference was
upon the moment proposed, and Jussul Pacha him.
self was the first who commanded his followers to
Law down their arms Internationally and without
stipulation Of any kind, aud to pass over to our
camp.
Ia the course Of the night, aud on the next morn
iny, his example was followed by the whole garrison,
save only the Captain Pacha, and a few followers,
COMPOSED OF ms immediate suite, who threw them
selves into the citadel. They were afterwards made
prisoners .kere by tho Russian soldiers, who had
entered BY the breaches made in the external do
fences OF the town.
The first corps which entered wee the 18th and
l4ih orthe Foo. Guards, after them n battalion OF
Sappers and then the isnail Regiment U. the lmpc-
rial Guard.
The Emperor has inspected personally all the
works, and has been Thoroughly convinced of toe d''h'
culties with which the bosieging array had ~ con-
tend.
After his Majesty had visited the mines ION the
eve of tho ASSAULT he proceeded TO reconno'tre the
deienccs oi the town, ~bcsiowing particular attention
on such parts as were To be The objects oi attack.
From tho accounts OF the prisoners (whici now
ever, are somewhat vdrious,) II Is conJectured maj
the garrison ol Varna, with the armed inhabitants,
amounted in the beginning 10 al le 81 22,OUo men /;
at the time OF the surrender they numbered but
5000.
We cannot, however, at present pretend to give
a correct list of the PRISONERS, nor any statement Of
the stores, ammunition, sc. that nave fallen INTO our
hands. -
