 "The army entrusted to your command has not ceased, since the commencement Of the present campaign, to distinguish itself by the most brilliant exploits. The total de- feat of the main force of the Grand Vixier at the village of KulewtsCha-the taking of the fortress of Silistria-the ever memorable pas sage of Mount Balkan-the capture of all the f0rtrCsses in the Bay of BOurgas, aud that of the second capital, AdrianOple, are deeds which cover the army with imperishable lau- rels. But not satisfied with thIS, your distin- guishcd military talents have shown to the world an event which exceeds all expectation, and you did not delay to plant our victorious standards before the very gates OF the enc. my's capitsl; and communicating on the right wing with our force in the Archipelago, and on the leit with that of the Black Sea, at length triumphantly compelled the Ottoman Porte to acknowledge it's inability to resist the Russian arms, and decidedly to implOre clemency.
 "These your glorious services to us and to the country, have acquired you our whole fa- vOr and especial gratitude, and in testimony of it, we hereby appoint you Knight of the first Glass ofthe Holy Martyr and Conquer. or St. George, the insignia of which we send you, ordering you tc wear them according to the statutes"

 Outr0ge.-Last evening between 6 and o'clock, as an interesting girl, aged about lS years, the daughter of a respectable citizen, nd Wall streets, on her return from school, she was assaulted in brutal and indecent man. npr by a man, whose name we withhold for the present. Her father happening at the moment, fortunately, to pass within hearing of her cries, flew to her relief, and after res cuing her from the (angs of the assailant, seiZ- cd him by the throat and dragged him to his house. While endeavOring to procure as- sistance from the police, the man was rescued by some of his friends. who, however, pledg- d themselves that they would deliver him up to justice this morning. Some watchmen who applied at the premises to which the man was carried by his friends. were refused ad- mittance without warrant.--N. r. Mer. AdU.
