Our army made a great slaughter among the Russians; but they soon returned us the compliment. Azoff was taken by storm, and the enemy spared neither age, sex, nor condition, but put all to the sword, and laid the city in ashes. Our little fort alone held out; they resolved to reduce us by famine.
On tua prodigieusement de Russes, mais ils nous le rendirent bien: Azof fut mis à feu et à sang, et on ne pardonna ni au sexe, ni à l'âge; il ne resta que notre petit fort; les ennemis voulurent nous prendre par famine.
