rect adviees have since come to hand giving
details OF another victory as brilliant as that

spirits OF the Turks, and the disaster of Sinope

a Turkish division of is 900 strong, with fifteen
pieces of artillery, attacked the entrenched
position of Citale, not far from Kalefat and took
1t by storm. The Russians lost $500 men. The
turks learning that a reinforcement of $4,000
Russians were on the march from Karaul,
threw themselves in their way, and after a brief
but sharp attack forced them to retrace their
steps, leaving $50 dead on the field.
