our works. On the 18th the mine which th,
day before did not explode, was blown up by
order Of the Grand Duke Michael, and on
the 18th Turkish ENJOYS came to ask an ar
mistice for ten days. promising that the place
should be surrendered if not rtlieN ed by that
time. The Grand Duke granted them only
a truce of twcnty-iour hours which they
accepted. The 18th saw our generals and
troops rival each other in bravery but our loss
was severe. Maj Gen. Wolf, and Maj Gen.
TimrOth we're killed and GAO men. Among
the wounded are one general, three colonies,
sixteen superior officers, and seventy-fye 9th
er officers, and 1910 subalterns and privates :;
many of whom however, will be able to re-
turn to the ranks in few days. The Turks
defended themselves with courage worthy of
the highest praise. Their loss in killed was
however most sensible in the salIies which
they made. Col BibikOf, aid de ITO the
Grand Duke Michael has this moment brO't
to the Emperor the keys of Brailow, which
surrendered at the expiration of the truce
At the same time news arrived of the surren-
der of the fortress of Matchina.
The last French papers mention a report
that the seige of Brailow has cost the Rus
slams between Is and $4,000 men. The ca
pitulation having allowed the Turks to retire
by the Danube, the whole population is said
to have following the garrison, which still con-
sisted of 1880 men, SO that when the Rus
SLAMS entered the place they did not find IN it
a single inhabitant. The cannon on the ram
parts were spiked and the magazines des-
troyed.
Buch0rS st, June 2O.-F'rom the Camp, Kar-
ASSOC, June 2S.--The Imperial camp was reno
we'd this morning, with Corps d'Armee of
Gen. Roudzewitch. to Karassou, where the
Emperor will remain till those movements of
concentration are completed, which were an
nounced in our last bulletin.
We have just taken possession of the for
tifcations of Braof. In conformity with
the terms of the captulation of that fortress,
the troops to whom its defence was confided,
have abandoned all the artillery which they
possessed,as we'll as the stores which belonged
70 the Turkish Government, and are them
selves to be sent back towards Silistria. AL
ready 200 men are on their march towards
that city, escorted by the regiment de Perme.
We do not exactly know the number of guns
and standards. nor the quantity of provisions
of all sorts, which have fallen into our hands,
through the conquest of Brailoff, the courier
who brings those details not having yet arri-
we'd at the headquarters of the Emperor.
At Matschn, 81 pieces of cannon, which
defended the ranparts, Il considerable guam
tity Of powder, bullets, and arms, large mag
azines of wheat and barley, and four stand
ards, as well as all the ships of the Turkish
fotila which had escaped from the battle of
the 28th, are in our power. We have learn
ed on this occasion, that Achmed Bey, VIII"
commanded the fotla, had been killed in
the same battle, while attempting to reach
Brailof ia a small boat
This morning Lieut.. Gen. Ruddiger sent
to the Emperor the keys of Kustendgi, which
he had vigorously cann"naded on the GOTH
1t was tine regiment Of Marshall the Duke Of
Wellington, which was the first to enter the
fortress. at two o'clock IN the afternoon
The garrison surrendered on condition of be-,
ing sent to Pravodi. We have found at Kus-
tengi SO pieces of cannon; and convoy of
SO sail of merchantmen have Just entered,
which came from Odessa, laden with provis-
ions. The possession of the fortress is of
great importance to the fnrture provisionin
of the army. The Seraskier, Hussiem Pa
cha, who was at Schuma, at the head of so 600
men, had sent to the troops which formed the
garrison of Kustendgi, and of which one
detachment had been put to flight at the pas
cage of the Danube, an order to defend the
place to the last extremity. Thanks to the
vigilance of our parties of Cossacks, the cour
ier by whom this order was sent fell into our
hands.
Two hours after the news had been recei-
we'd Of the fall of Kustengi, the Emperor re-
ceived that of the taking of Hersovia. That
fortress surrendered to Lieut.. Gen. Prince
Madatoff. 1t contained 1900 regular troops,
but the inhabitants who ought to have sup
ported them, had no wish to defend them
selves, and they have even declared, in capt.
ulating that they would not enter Selistra
whether they were to be transported with
the rest of the garrison, because they cOnsId-
cred it useless to fight.
At Hirsovia we captured IA standards, 5O,-
900 bullets, $500 pounds of powder, and
considerable supply of barley end corn.

success of the Russians. Anapa. the fortress
in Asiatic Turkey. which was attacked BY
the force of Admiral Greig and Prince Men

der the immediate command of the Emperor
left behind it, has fallen into the hands of the
desieging corps. The supplies of stores and
provisions which have bee found in Brallow
are represented to be- very important. Mean
