addressed TO his Lordship by general Simpson:

"My Lord: In my despatch Of the 18th inst. in
formed your Lordshp tbs bad reason to believe that
tie Rustisrs would attempt b9a vigorous attack, to

for considerable iiue but being separated from their

"About the same time the 5h and 18th divisions, to
which was added q portion Of the 18th, edvanced

FreI cb iIfaIry of the line who were for shost time
obliged to yield and fall back upon the msa supports;
with there however they quickly ret0ok the bridge

the ground covered with dead and wounded.
The Russian General, in 10 way dsunted by tbs |
failure of his two attempts ordered second column,
of equal force to the first, to attack They advahced

the battle, signed by Prince GOrchakof, who COM |

FROM these it would appear that it was most de-

your ordship the difficulty that would have been ex
