the Head Quarters of Gen. Paskewitsch, at
the date of the last advices from Asatic
Turkey. And from the official accounts of
the operations ofthat army, it appears that
General Paskewitsch, judging it neces-
sary to dispense a considerable body of
troops which had assembled in the envrons
of Kamisch-Khane, sent Col. Simonwistch
with detachment for that purpose, who
after a most difficult march, found the
enemy on the 18th (24th) of August, on a for
titled mountain, and entirely defeated and
dispersed his troops. The next day he
reached Kumisch- Khane, which was aban-
doned by the Turkish troops. The inhab-
itants chiefly Greeks, came out with their
bishop at their head, and with the holy
images, to meet the Colonel, to whom they
delivered the keys"

marched towards Trebisond. On his march
he received the news of brilliant victory
gained by Maj. Gen. Hesse over the Turks
