An Important cavalry engagement at Eupato-
ria is thus described by Marshal PeIissier, in
dispatch published ih the Moniteur. ssA bril-
liant cavalry engagement took place on the 29th
of September (at KoHghill, FIVE leagues north
east of Eupatoria), J, in which the Russian cavalry
under General Korf was completely defeated,
The action inaugurates very auspicoueiy the

had instructions I'd fall back if attacked by a
superior force. Gen. Korf, having lost sight Of
the enemy, who was pursuing Tervelenskys
Lancers, halted and caused his men to disulount
Not having placed videttes in proper order,
Korf was surprised by between 1000 and 5000
of French cavalry appearing suddenly on his
rear and right flank, and he had neither time to
get his force in order nor prepare for a combat
The Lancers were therefore compelled q scatter,
and fall back fighting. Loss, $50 Lancer, q
