strong division Was Immediately sent to re-
connoitre; local difficulties, however, pre-
vented us from acquiring accurate informa-
ton respecting the advance, as well as the
strength of the enemy. During this recon-
noisance the Wager regiment of the Fort
Guards suffered considerable loss. Among
the killed are Major General Darung, COM
mander of the regiment; Colonel Sarger,
aid-de-camp to the Emperor Col. Busse,
and ten officers.
"On the 9th, Lieut.. Gen. Suchozenet,
with the first brigade of the light cavalry of
the Guards, the 2lst brigade of the 10Th di-
vision of the infantry, and two batteries,
were detached to the left side of the strait
OF Varna, to threaten the right wing of Omer
VrIone. BY the rapid and complete execu-
ton of this movement, the Turkish camp,
in the village of Hadji Hassan, fell into our
hands. The enemy lost one standard and
about 500 men. Meantime Prince Eugene
OF Wurtemburg, arrived from the camp be-
fore Shumla, with the LIST brigade of the
18th division, and having been joined by the
goth regiment of Yagers, he joined General
Suchozpnet on the 28th. On this day Gen.
Bistrona repulsed a serious attack. The
enemy, who, since his arrival, had begun to
entrench himself, left his camp in great
force, and attacked our redoubts. The ac-
ton continued with great impetuosity for
four hours. The fire of our battery, as well
as vigorous charge with the bayonet, ex-
ecuted by the first battalion of the Yagers
of the Foot Guards, as we'll as by the first
battalion of the Grenadiers of the Body
Guard, decided the victory.
" Each of the battalions took a standard,
and the Turks retreated, leaving behind
1000 killed. In this engagement the enemy
brought forward $4,000 infantry and caval-
ny, and had an equal number in the en-
trenchments. The next day the enemy re-
manned quiet, and was employed in fortify-
ing his camp.
1--WE resolved, therefore, to interrupt his
tranquility, and to attack him on the follow
ing day 1.-THE 9th). The attack, conducted by
Gen. Bistrona, was only a feint. Prince
Eugene of Wirtemburg, led the second at
tack. After arranging his force opposite
the enemy's left wing, our troops were
obliged to maneuvre on ground broken by
innumerable hollows and thick bushes, a
circumstance peculiarly favorable to the
enemy's infantry, as they conceal them
selves in the bushes and fight singly. In
spite of these difficulties, the Goth regiment
of Yagers succeeded in taking the first re-
animated with such courage, that, contrary
to the orders of Prince Eugene of Wirtem-
burg, the LIST brigade of the 10Th division,
commanded by Gen. Jurnow, attacked the
enemy's camp. This officer fell victim to
his noble spirit, while his brigade succeed
ed in reaching the parapet of the enemy's
musketry; attacked in front by superior
force. and threatened on the flank by the
olru ILL
after having sustained considerable loss.
1t therefore retreated in the best order, I'M
der the protection of our batteries, and of
an attack by the Hulans of the Guard.
"The action was then put an end to- and
the corps of Prince Eugene of Wirtem-
burg, resumed its position at Hadii Hassan.
" The works before Varna are so far adj
vanced, that the mines reach in two places
to the main rampant of the fortress"
THE MoREA.
1t is rumored that the Porte has acceded
to the mediation of England and France for
the settlement of Greece.
Ibrahim Pacha sailed from the Morea on
the I'd of Oct, with the remainder of the
Egyptian troops, excepting 1900 men, which
by virtue of the convention of Alexandria,
he leaves in the towns of Coron, Modon,
and Navarino. Gen. Maison was to COM
mence the siege of the latter place on the
third.
The third division of the French expedi-
ton arrived at Navarino on September 10th.
The Turkish officers commanding the for
tresses, refused, at that time, to subscribe
to Ibraham's capitulation.
The Paris Constitutional Publishes the
following extract of letter from Vienna
"The Turks, are now in full retreat from
Little Wallachia, and our funds are looking
down on Exchange. Our letters from Blu
charest, which are dated September Both,
and those from Semlin, of the LIST and Cd of
this month, state that the Moslims defeated
at Brosba, and at Scheret on the Desnizia,
have been compelled to cross the Danube.
Notwithstanding the pains taken by the
Russians to conceal their operations, which
they will no longer allow a crowd of Diplo-
matists to superintend, it appears certain
that they intend to open very active CAM
paign as soon as the Danube shall be fro
zen-already they have strengthened the
Notifications of Ibrail and as Varna cannot
hold out long (f it has not already fallen)
they will establish themselves in Debroudie
Tartary, so as to have it ir their power to
make sudden attacks and carry on offensive
operations, the effects of which may become
incalculable. We may we'll use this ex-
preston, for the Emperor Nicholas, after
being disappointed in his first hopes, will
not sheath his sword until he shall have dc
tated the terms of peace to the Grand
Seignor."
