 l In order to leave the enemy no time to col lect his forces on the banks of the Danube, & call into the field his fanatick Mussulman pop

 ulatiOn in the countries beyond Mount Balkan

 the General in Chief, Count Wittgenstein,re-

 solved to send from Jassy two divisions of

 cavalry, under Lieut. Gen. Count Pahlen,

 and two divisions of infantry, under General YermOlOf, which were to proceed by forced 1 marches,an by the shortest route tO the Dan

 ube. Those divisions were already assemb 1 led day before yesterday at Tuturkay, between Sistria and Rudschuk, and it was resolved that they should cross the river during the ] night while Lieut.. Gen. Doctorow, with the

 vessels at the mouth of the Argis, crossed it

 in the night, where the Turks, about 5000 in

 number, were encamped behind the garden of this place towards Rudschuk under the com

 mand of Rohua Mustapha, pacha of two tails

 The latter became aware 1.-the passage of the vanguard, under Gen. Uwarof. On seeing this.they sent some gallies with cannon to pre- vent the remainder from crossing, but after some opposition from our troops, the vessels

 withdrew, and went further up the Danube, ,&

 the Pacha and his troops took flight nea: kudschuk, and lost many~men, by the pur-

 suit of the hussars and cOssacks. He aband- oned his camp, and some prisoners. among whom was Choznadar, dangerously woun- ded. Ma ior Jurzentz had another affair with the enemy near the village of Czarnewodica, who had passed the Danube with about one thousand men, some leagues above Rudscfuk This affair lasted six hours. The enemy who Was then put to flight, left two hundred dead on the field. carrying off his wounded; we

 lost 45 men killed. Wounded, Ma ior Jung entz, Capt. Wilno, Lieut.. Juriew, Cornet Pa lemberg, and 51 privates.

 To-day the Seraskier Assam Bey. Pacha of Rueschuk, made a sally from that fortress near Turtukay. He attacked Gen. Doctorow with 15OOO cavalry and infantry, with great impetuosity both by land and water. The General, however, defeated the enemy with very great loss, and pursued him 20 wersts.- The enemy had 9,5OO killed we. took 1890 prisoners. among whom is Bim Pacha one cannon and 3 standards also fell into our hands { About the same time in the afternoon,as Gen 1 erals Uwarof and Yermoloff were marching with their divisions past the castle of KozIo- dry, they had sharp engagement with the C. nemy.

 The enemy, whose cavalry alone was near 1 15,OOO strong, was under the command of the ID ..c N o.A. erman, and the infantry, nearly 10000 men. under the command of the Nzarm Gedid, stood pretty firm. The Turks, by their su- periority of force, at first succeeded in throwing part ofOur cavalry into disorder, to which the nature of the ground, which is full of defiles, contributed, as it hindered them from acting in proper order. But the infantry and horse artillery came to the support of the cavalry, 1 and attacked the enemy with such impetuosi- ty that they totally put to flight all the eme- my's corps. who were briskly pursued for se yeral wersts on the road to Schamia and Bro- wods. Our troops got possession ofthe whole of the enemy's camp, all the tents, and vast quantity of ammunition of all kinds, ,43 new can non,. IS very large, and 10 smaller mortars, & 1O7 standards. The number of the enemys killed amounts to between 5000 and 10000 Alctls dIU Llldl Ul lllc pIlSOLcES (O OOUV OA all arms. Our loss amounts to 1850 killed, and about 2,OOO wounded. Among the first is the Major General Baron Rosen, Col. ltalinsky, and several officers among the latter, Gener- al Baron Haymar, Colonel Uwarof the Col. of the Regiment of Siewko, Prince Reticrew Lieut.. Brand ofthe Moscow chasscurs, Lieut. Czernow, Ensign Charlamow. and several O. thers, and 364 subaltern officers. In the for tresses of Gieurgewo, Rudschuck, and Silis- tria, 5000 Turks are now shut up, who will probably have no alternative but to surrender to our troops.

 FROM SMYRNA.

 By the Brig Samos. Capt Parsons, which l arrived at Quarantine on Sunday, in 70 days from Smylna,we have obtained the following particulars, derived from two American gen tlemen, passengers, direct from Constantino- pie.

 The Brig Delos, Smith, was at Constanti- nople April goth, being the first American merchantmen, bearing the flag of the United States, that had ever visited that port. Very great excitement was caused by the arrival of this vessel in sight of the Seraglio. She was immediately visited by several Turks of dis tinction, some of whom carried away pieces 1 of rope as memorials of the event. .aItis stated to have been determined by the l niYan though not yet revealed to the people, that in case the Russians reached Constanti-
