FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
The ST. Petersburg Gazette, ofthe 10th
iofJune, gives the following intelligence IN
an extraordinary supplement:
HEAD QUARTERS BEFORE BRAILA.
Fled Marshal Witgenstein reports that
the operations for reducing Braila, which
continue with success, will soon be COM
pletec. and that the fotilla arrived from Is
mail will probably intercept all cOmmunlca-
ton between the fortress and the opposite
bank of the river.
Descent at TIE Fortress Of .Anapa.
Vice Admiral Greig reports that the
squadron equipped at Sebastopol set sail on
the ID May, but being prevented by con-
trary winds, Gains, and fogs, from doub-
ling Cape Ayoudagh, Con the Southern
coast Of the Crimea) before the llth, 1t
could net reach the roads ofAnaPa, TIL the
Nth.
In the morning of the 18th, the descent
was accomplished under the command of
Prince Meuschikof, the troops engaging
is they disembarked with those ofthe gar
rson from which the enemy had made a
scrte supported by Circassian cavalry as
we'll as some thousand mountaincers, who
had attacked the rear guard Of the weak
detachment arrived from Taman. The
enemy was repealed with loss on all points.
In spite of the continued attacks Of the
Circassians, who had some cannon, a bat
terry was formed of mortars and howIt7ers
at 400 sagenes from the walls; bridge
defended by a feche being cast across the
river which separated our troops from A.
napa, we thus obtained a strong position on
the left bank.
On the oath, at day break, troop OF
5000 Circassians, having with them two
pieces OF cannon, attacked detachment OF
the troops who had disembarked, but was
repealed with considerable loss by rapid
movement of the first battalion of the 18th
regiment of chasseurs, under Maj. Hiss
etsky.
Although it has been impossible TO as
certain precisely the enemy's loss on this
occasion, it may be inferred from the ap
pearance 9th walls of the fortress anc
houses, that the injury sustained was con
siderable. On our part, there were SIN
killed and seven wounded, and our ships
have sustained damage of some conse
quence.
On the 10Th, the brig Ganymede, which
had been sent on a cruise, captured in the
harbor of Soudioukale a vessel having Oh
board two hundred men, sent from Trebi
cond torcinforce the garrison ofAnapa.
The Falcon cutter, dispatched at the
same time, brought in the day after, Tur
lish vessel also bound from Trebicond t
Anapa, with a reinforcement Oils men
Finally, in the evening ofthe 22d, the Mer
curry and Ganymede brought in two more
/ Turkish nrizps with II o6icors and 50.
soldiers on board; so that the total number
lof prisoners amounts to $40 men, whosr
arms and standards are also in our hands
