THE INGOUB.  Wo have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 29th of November. The Invalids Russe publishes the following, under the heading " News from the Eastern Coast of the Black Sea" : "In the second half of the month of October the Turkish troops landed at Soukum Kaleh, under the command of Omer Pasha, commenced an offensive movement against Mingrelia, advancing in two columns, the one onAnaklia, by the sea coast, and the other towards the lower course of the river Ingonr, following the Roukleroad by Otsartsa The total force of these troops amounted to about 28,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry with 26 pieces of artillery. " On the 17th (29th) of'October flying detachments of the enemy showed themselves on different points of the right bank of the Ingour, but received by the fire of our pickets placed along the left bank, they withdrew. " Meantime, Major-General Prince Bagration-Moukhrausky, leader of the Gouriel detachment, concentrated the main body of his forces in the Roukh position to await the enemy as soon as he had crossed the river and give him battle, turning to account the advantages of the ground, which were favourable to defensive operations. "On the 25th of October (November 6), about noon, the Turks near Otsartsa opened a violent cannonade against our position at Roukb, and, after two hours violent firing, advanced a portion of their infantry to' wards the river. Our well-directed fire forced them to withdraw hastily. "Simultaneously with this demonstration 25 hostile battalions, which had crossed the river below Roukh (at from 15 to 20 Torts) near the village of Koki, attacked two battalions of the line of Georgia, which were stationed at that point. At the very commencement of the combat the two commanders of those battalions, Colonel Josselian and Lieutenant-Colonel Zvanboi, were killed. Our reserve, on arriving on the ground, continued the combat for some time, but, after an obstinate struggle of FIX hours duration, in which 'the enemy had four times been driven back into the river, the Turks, eight times their number, and, as some of the artillery horses had been killed, 'our detachment was under the necessity of sacrificing three guns. Accord. ingly, after three murderous rounds of grape fired into the dense columns of the enemy, our gunners, according to order given beforehand, dismounted the guns, and, having rendered them unserviceable, abandoned them. "To cool the ardour of the enemy's attack, Prince Rigration-Monklira.usky (who bad arrived on the field of battle) ordered the 11th battalion of the Black Sea division to advance once more ; the Turks were driven back; they, however, maintained their footing on the left bank of the Ingour in the intrenchments which they had erected. Darkness put an end to the combat. " Our loss, an exact return of which has not yet been made, was considerable ; that of the enemy must also have been heavy, for, as already observed, their troops were four times driven hack into the river. "Oa the 26th of October (7th of November) the Turks occupied the village of Zougdidy, having pushed on their advanced posts to the river Djouma ; our forces are concentrated on the river Tsiva, which falls from the tight side ii to the Rion, at about 40 versts from the mouth of the latter.
