The most important article is a detailed ac count of a great battle fought near Choumla, between the Russian gen. count Diebitschand the grand vizier, on the 1 1 th of June, and followed up by the victorious Russians on the 1 2th, by which, perhaps, the best appointed army of the Turks, 40,000 strong, was "dissolved," the vizier himself escaping accompanied onlv by a small number of horse. By a series of skilful operations and vigorous movements, count Diebitsch so hemmed in the Turks that the chance only of a general battle was allowed them. They fought 'most gallantly on the 11th the fight is called "murderous," and the troops of either army were so exhausted, that the firing ceased on both side?. The Turks however, appear to have suffered a great deal the most, for on the following day, while the vizier was holding a council of war, he was again fiercely attacked, and totally routed, with the loss of all his artillery, be tween 50 and 60 pieces, munitions agd stores, hi? remaining troops flying in all directions; but it seems to have been so xmnaged that no large body of them escaped. Their loss in killed, wounded and prisoners is not fully stated, but when the official despatch was sent oil the ; Russians were yet in full pursuit. The Turkish corps contained 22 regiments of regular infantry and ome of regular cavalry, with 15,000 Anatolian infantry and cavalry. The Russian loss was heavy, but its amount is not given. The troops appear to have behaved with extraordinary resolution and courage. The Turkish lleet being ordered into the Black sea, was promptly met bv the Russian squadron and attacked. After a partial fight, the Turks retreated into the channel, and were not expected soon to leave it again. A"iles. Extraordinary Supplement to the Prussian State Gazette June 23. KEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. Translation of a Report from the Com-maider-in Chief of the second Army to his majesty the Emperor, of 3 1st May (June 12.) May it please your Majesty I hasten to congratulate you on a complete victory obtained by y6ur Majesty's army on the 30th of May. (11th June,) near the village of Kulawtscha, near Choumla, over the Grand Vizier. My report of the 4th of Juae has acquainted your Majesty with my march from the camp before Silistria, with the corps of Count Pahlen, partly for the purpose of joining General Roth, and partly to relieve the fortified town of i ravadi, which had been invested for ten Spifra. of tusline ofcommmiirafinn Uh Choumla. With this view I set out from bibslna on the 5th, leaving the further prosecution of the siege of that fortrt-s to Lieutenant General Krassotf ske. The indefatigable efTorts of the sixth division of pioneers succeeded -;n opening us a passage, in spite of the extraordinary difficulties of the ground, and pndi it possible far me, after a previous junction with Gen. Roth, to occupy, on the 23th, in a night's march, all the de-
iys by the Grand Vizier. In order to attain th-'s double object, and, at the time, to induce the Grand Vizier, 21 r.cis: le, to engage in a battle, I reserved to make myself master, with il
files and passes in the rear of the enemy, by which he drew his ammunition and provisions from Choumla. My forced march with the corps of Count Pahlen, was, covered by several of ourpartisans, performed with the greatest caution, and remained wholly unknown to the enemy. The astonished Vizier did not receive the first news of our approach till the defile at Marda, (called Madarda in the maps,) was occupied by our troops. Even then he did not presage the dan
ger which threatened him in its whole extent, but imagined that his new adver sary was a corps of about 1000 men, de tached by General Roth, the ooly ob ject of which was to threaten his line of communication. However, even on this supposition, he thought it necessary to r lise the siece of Pravadi, and advance In whole army towards the defiles Kulawtscha, in the full persuasion that he should be able entirely to destroy our feeble corps. About one hundred prisoners, who were picked up on the 23th and 29th,
by my van-guard under Lieut. General) "The loss on our side in this sanguinaBaron Kretuz, on the road from Turk-1 ry battle is, unhappily not tmall, espeei
Aranflar to Jenibazar, and father towards Choumla, unanimously affirm that the general Vizier, with an army of more than 40,000 men, was in perfect security near Pravadi, with the least notion of our approach. This favorable circumstance enabled me to have all the roads by which the retreat of the Grand vizier seemed practicable, most carefully reconnoitered at day brake on the 11th, and about 9 o'clock in the same morning to undertake a strong reconnoissance with ten battalions of infantry, four squadrons, and twelve cannon, on the road which leads from Monkovtscha through Kopareva to Marasch. This last measure was founded on the infor mation of several prisoners taken in the defile near Madra, who said that the Grand Vizier had resolved to take that road with the body of his army. The enemy at first did not oppose more than about 3,000 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to the above men tioned strong reconnoitring party: but on the nearer approach of our columns, he displayed all his forces in regular squares of infantry and well disposed columns of cavalry, supported by numerous artillery. According to the account of the prsoners, the army consisted of 22 regiments of regular infantry, some re giments of regular cavalry, and above 15,000 Anatolian infantry and cavalry. Our brave troops burned with impa tience to engage the enemy, and a most sanguinary battle ensued; so that I was obliged,' at the very beginning, to make a reserve of two brigades of infantry, and with their artillery, and a brigade of ca valry, with a company of horse artillery, advanced into the fire. This reinforcement, and especially the boldness of the nineteenth company of horse artillery, which, under the personal command 0 the brave Major-General Arnoldi, did me enemy great damage: ana aiso se veral attacks undertaken and executed with the greatest resolution by the Parlograd and irkutsk regiments of Hussars, obtained us a coniderab!e superiority: notwithstanding which the battle con tinned with great obstinacy on both sides, till at length the enemy was compelled to retreat into an advantageous position, I covered Dy wooo, leaving tne nem ot battle covered with a great part of his regular troops who had fallen in the action. After a murderous combat of four hours, the fire, which the exhausted troops could not continue, entirely ceased on both sides. I made use of this in terval of repose to take such further measures as appeared to me necessary for the entire defeat of the Grand Vizier. Accordingly the 6th division of infantry was relieved, and the 5th took its place. I reinforced the 2d divisions of hussars with the 3d, and the whole line with a reserve formed of the 16th and 19th divisions of infantry; and to Lieut. General Ba ron Kreutz, who was stationed towards Choumla, I sent as a reserve the 3d brigade of the 11th division and the hulans of the Bug, with their artil lery. These new measures, and an estraor dinary loss which the enemy's army had already sustained in the engagement, produced an entire discouragement in the Grand Vizier. He called a Council of War (as we learned from a Bimbaschi who was taken prisoner,) and resolved to retire by way of Kopareva to Marasch. The deliberations of the enemy's Generab were not yet concluded, when our columns advanced from different side? and began the attack. Our horse artillery, under th protection of the fifth di vision of infantry, ariof the 1 6th brigade of artillery, bleworv several of the enemy's ammunition wagons by their first shot. This circumstance produced an evident terror in the enemy's ranks, and a particular w avering in his whole line seemed to indicate that he would speedily give way. Meanwhile our troops advanced in quick time; the Grand Vizier's army, however, did not wait for the attack;-but having discharged all their artillery, commenced a general flight, abandoned 40 cannon, with all the ammunition wagons, the camp, and their whole baggage. Besides this, above
2000 of the enemy were killed, and 1500!
taken prisoners. "This happened at four o'clock in the afternoon. A Bimbaschi whom we have taken prisoner, and several others of the most distinguished officers of the enemy's army, unanimously agree that the army of the Grand Vizier is to be considered as not only totally defeated, but entirely dissolved, the Vizier, himself having made his escape, accompanied only by a small number of horse. "The way that he took was admirably calculated for this purpose, for it led eight wersts through the forest, and was so completely blocked by the enemy's wagons, that it was necessary to employ a division of infantry to remove them, in order to open a way for the artillery. "Immediately after sending off this ofidespatch I shall set out with all my troops to Marasch, in the hones of finding there the Grand Vizier with the remains of his army. May the God of War grant us his blessings for their entire destruclion. ally in the Murrow Regiment of Infantry,! the 12th Regiment of Yn tiers, and the Hussars of Irkutsk. With that bravery which becomes the troops of your Imperial Majesty, they rushed into the heaviest fires of the enemy, and many brave men in their ranks joyfully died a gloiious death for their religion, their Emperor, and their country. "Among the wounded are Maj. Generals Oho.itepewke, & Glasenah; among the killed are Lieut. Col. Reming, who commanded, ad interim, the 1 2th regt of Yagers. I shall not fail shortly to send your Imperial Majesty a detailed statement of our los-, and a list of the individuals who particularly distinguished themselves in this remarkable action. "I lay at your majesty's feet two standards which have just been sent me by General Connt Pahlen, who is in pursuit of the enemy. "P. S. I have just receive'd news that sixteen more cannon have been found in the forest through which the enemy direc ed his flight." The following is the letter from War saw, (the present Head Quarters of the Emperor) mentioned above as being con. tained in Jhe Prussian State Gazette, of! the 25th of June. It brings additional particulars of the disastrous route of the Turkish army: iifVarsa7o1 June 21. We have again received favourable intelligence from the seat of war. Letters dated the 14th instant say, that during the pursuit the Turks have again been beaten, and have lust twelve more pieces of artillery. A small corps.arnving irom Choumla was obliged to join in the flight, and the commanding officer, a Pacha, is said to have been kiilod. The Russian troops continued to pursue the enemy with the greatest eagerness, the cavalry under Count Pahlen distinguishing itself most particularly.

Some three or fuur days since, two men John Williams and William Gregsby, went to Lucas Manfides, tobacconist, occupying a small 100m by himself, under the pretence of buying a quantity of tobacco, after chaffering awhile about it, they offered to purchase to the amount of 75 cents; and presented a five dollar bill, which Mr. Manfides said he could not change; disappointed in this attempt to find out where he kept hia cash, they went off. Souelime afterwards John, Williams returned and bargained for 25 cents worth, offering a dollar. Lucas stepped to an old barrel in the corner of his room, principally filled with trash, tobacco boxes, Sic. and got out the change for a dollar, and thev went away. On the night of the 23th inst. the same men burst into Lucas's room, and accused him of harbouring runaway negroes; Williams took up the lamp then burning, went to the barrel and began to rummage it, when Lucas stepped towards him and asked the reason for his conduct. Gregsby now seized Lucas by the throat andjhoaked him while Williams was getting out the money concealed in a cloth at the bottom of the barrel when he got all he ran off; Gregsby then let go Lucas and followed his companion. On the ensuing miming Williams passed off a fewrusty dollars, which induced a suspicion that he was one of the robbers; he was arrested, and in his trunk 36 dollars were found, and from their particular deecrip tion could have been no others than Lucas's. On examination Lucas swore unequivocally to Williams as the man who took the money. On Wednesday night last, the police officer, aocompined by Mr. Calmes, patrolled such places around the city, as they thought Gregsby might be found; in the upper part of the commons, they saw three men sitting under a tree, they approached near to and spoke to them, one of the three immediately jumped up and ran, he was
pursued by the police along the corn-
mons up to the verge of the bluff, when the man made a spring and landed at the bottom, some 40 or 50 feet. " In the morning Mr. Bingham went to the place and found the man sunk in the earth from which being somewhat hurt by his fall, he was unable to extricate himself. He was committed to jail and was iden tified by Lucas as the accomplice ol Williams. He then made a full confes sion of the robbery. One of the robbers is a notoriou&Qillain, and had but lately been released from the "ball and chain" at New Orleans. We have been thus particular with a view to show the good citizens of Natchez, the situation in whih they are placed: not long since, the Post Office was robbed, several Coun'iog-rooms and Stores ere entered and robbeiies committed in a manner so secret, that the perpetrators have not yet been found out. Unsuspecting countrymen from distant counties and traders from the upper states have bsen beguiled into houses under the Hill and not only cheated in the siost barefaced manner ol their hard earning:, but knocked down at mid-day, and robbed ofevery cent, having to procure money from the benevolence of our citizens to enable them to get to their families. By the visilancc of the'sheritl and the city police sisted by the jYctchez Fencibles, these outrages had been neatly put a stop to: indeed to the Fencibles are the people of Natchez greatly indebted for the safe ty of their families and the security oil their propei ty, strangers have been protected by their promptness and activity, and villany been suppressed lo a certain degree. But new evils are likely to pour in upon our city. Great numbers of the con victs who have been for years lahouring with the ball and chain in New Orleans are released, the time for which they were sentenced having expired, the) will in all probability, make their way to this place. We have been requested by several most respectable citizens to make these statements, that the people may be on ihe guard. The people must take care of themselves, for even if villany bt detected our laws are too defective to arrest its progress. Ariel. From the New Yoik Courier and Enquirer.
