Russian Captures During the War.

From recently published official returns it appears that between the day on which war was declared and the signing of the armistice, the Russian army of the Danube captured 15 Pashas, 113,000 officers and men, 606 guns of different calibers, 9,600 tents, 140,200 muskets, and 24,000 horses. In addition, 200,000 small arms, yataghans, and pistols were taken from Turkish irregular troops, and also 13,000 lances and daggers. The Russian army in Asia captured during the war 14 Pashas and 50,200 officers and men, 662 guns, 16,000 tents, 42,000 muskets, 18,000 horses, and immense stores of ammunition and provisions of all kinds. The number of firearms and miscellaneous weapons taken from the Asiatic irregular troops of the Porte was also, it is stated, exceedingly large, but no details are given. The Servian troops .also acquired a large booty during the short time they were engaged, their trophies being returned as 238 guns, 10,000 muskets, and 67 standards, besides ammunition, provisions, and horses.— Pall Mall Gazette.
