should be fired into to this message gortan gorta chakoff returned for answer that if the russian russia vessels were fired into they would return the fire accordingly on the alt a russian flotilla consisting consist aug of two armed steamers towing eight 9 gun run boats attempted to ascend the river from the sulina salina basin to a higher point of the river the declaration of war by turkey and the avowed intention of omar pacha to cross the danube having rendered their presence necessary to support the main body of the russians on corning coming abreast of the turkish battery they were summoned to stop but not heeding the summons were promptly fired into and as promptly returned the compliment some ten or fifteen of the russians were killed and fifty more put hors de combat the

occurred A russian flotilla consisting of two steamers with gun boats in tow was proceed ing to ascend the stream when it was fired upon from the fort of isakichi Isak tchi on the turkish bank the object of the russians was doubtless to establish a communication between the black sea and their own army of occupation in Wal lachia but either they approached too closely to the ottoman guns or the turks had resolved to oppose the expedition it will be clearly discerned however that tho the russians were indeed I 1 forcing a passage up the river and were attacked in the attempt the operation in no degree resembles a movement of the russian troops across the river against the turkish forces 99 though no one fancies that turkey can call cope with russia in a prolonged contest yet the chances of success for the czar are materially lessened by the certainty that the first reverse of his antagonist tag onist will bring to the succor of the vanquished the fleets and perhaps other forces of two nations each able to contend with russia h the state of affairs in the caucasus where it is now certain that the russians have met with great reverses and the weakness of the army of occupation in
