Russia AND CIRcAsslA.-Some particulars of the
engage rent IN October, before announced in which
the Russians were sgnaly defeated, are as fol-
lows
A great battle reality fought between the
mountaneers and the Russians in the middle OF DC
tober 1t commenced in the pass of Hamsh only
about six miles from the castle Of Scotcha. The
Russians had about 5000 Georgian and Mingrelian
cavalry with 10000 10000 OF their infantry, The
former led the van, and attacked in the pass so
vigorously that they were put completely to the
route They fell back upon the infantry, to whom
their own panic was communicated, and the whole
fled to the coast holly pursued by the VIC
tors. The slaughter dreadful, no less than three
thousand five hundred OF the Russian party being
left dead upon the field Some escaped to the ships,
which, forty-nlne in number, were lying within gun
shot of the shore others were drowned in attempt
to swim off, and the rest of the survivors made good
their retreat in dreadful confusion, to Scotcha, where
they collected and entrenched themselves Few
prisoners made, for the Crcassians being less
than five thousand in number, could not embarrass
themselves with such an incumbrance and put to the

hands. All the horses, and immense quantity Of
arms and baggage, were the booty of the heroic

peace if the Russians would first evacuate the for
tresses on the coast But they would not treat with
out Intervention. They proposed that, after the
evacuation, delegate from the Russian General,
and another from the Circassians, should be sent to
Constantinople where atreaty should be made, with
the and under the guarantee Of the Porte
and the great European powers. This proposal not
meeting with the appreciation of the Russians, they
after remaining before Scotcha about twenty days,
embarked in their ships and sailed away, leaving the
accustomed garrison in that place. The Crcassians
