THE WAR.
The particulars of the capture of Do
brudasha are given by the Vienna papers.
They state that the Turkish fortresses of
Matschin, Isaktsha. and Hirsowa were
taken by the Russians on the 28th ult.,
after seige of three days, by a vastly
superior force. The operations against
Matschin and Isaktscha were conducted
under the orders of General Schiller, the
head of the engineer corps of the Russian
active army. The troops engaged at the
first named fort were under the orders of
General Kotzebue, acknowledgement on
Prince Gortchakofi's staff; and those
employed at Isaktsha, under General
Aurep, formerly commanding the advan-
ced guard in Little Wallachia. On the
same day, the detached corps, under
General Uschakoff, which had advanced
from Tultscha, took the small fort of
Babadagh and Hirsowa at Kasimtschi,
where the space between the Black Sea
and the Danube contracts. and so cut off
the communications of the Turks as they
retired to Trajan's wall.
The Paris correspondence of the Lon
don Times, writing under date of April
9th, says:
Dispatches were received to-day at the
Turkish Embassy, from Vienna, confirm
ing what was said yesterday about the
defeae of the Russian General Uschakoff,
and the retreat of the corps on Bessara-
bia. 1t is also stated that the forts said
to have been captured are still in the
hands of the Turks; that the Turks have

Turks are on their way to Trajan's wall
or Rassava, and $4,000 for the same
direction from Shumla.

yesterday and the day before, and they
are again announced to-day. Reports are
also rife about advantages near Kalafat.

cially. The Patrie states that the account
of an advantage having been gained by
the Turks on the Lower Danube APP
peared to be confirmed. sIt is positive"
