AT the moment OF the express leaving, il was re-
ported that the Turkish Covernine ut had received
official Information of The entire raising of the
siege OF Narna by the Russians, who had invested
the place so closely that the besieged sprung
mine under their camp in which 5000 men were
destroyed. The besiegcd then made a sortic, sup
ported by $4,000 men, under the Grand Nizier,
who encamped at some distance, which proved
successful, and obliged the Russians TO retire with
immense loss; the Emperor escaping with difficult
