A dispatch from Sukum Kaleh says the
Turkish frigate Manmandich bombarded
the Russian batteries at Tchanitchira, July

mandich was considerably damaged and
several of her crew were killed. Near
Tchanitchira there were 5000 Turks in a
critical position, owing to the advance of
the Russians. Hobart Pssha embarked the
entire force safely under cover of the guns
of the fleet. This completes the withdrawal
of the Turkish military expedition to the

men-of-war and transports.
