4 | AST week the Couit received fronk
J. Prince Potemkin, thi following ac
count of a frcfli defeat of the enemies troops,
dated £li?abeth Grod, sth of this month.
“ Whereas, about the middle of Sept*
Lieutenant General Potemkin received advice
that a great number of troops were aftemb
ling between the rivers Uflup and De Lam j
and that a number of the Turks of Sudfchuch
Kale had arrived among the Tartars of the
Cuban, to inform them that war had broken
out, and to engage them to make an cicur
fion into the circumjacent country of Ruffias
knd a design was foimed to prevent them, and
to disperse the body that was assembled.
“ On the Ift of Odober they crofted thd
Cuban in three columns : the fourth column,
under the command of Major General Jela
gin, in order to conceal his intent, was di
relied td pass the river below the Ouctfchu-
Brod, with orders to repel the enemy, in case
they attCmpetd to attack them.—The column,
under the command of 1 icutenant Colonel
Rebinder, that had the least ground to pass
over, gained the quarter of Sebach firft, where
he found about 600 of the enemies troupe
entrenched behind waggons; whiift the van
guard was attacking them, the Taftara en
trenched behind the waggons, mact# a loud
prayer, that was didated to them by .the Be
bach, after which they made a desperate re-
Pittance ; after all, they were obliged to give
wav to the bravery of our troops, who made
themlelves matters of the entrenchment, and
who, in the heat of aftion, put all those to
the sword who fell into their hands, by which
400 only remained in the field.
44 On the 18th the Sebach returned with 4
body he collected, and attacked tolonel Re
minder. but he was repelled. The Carbinier
regiment of Rourfea br ie the brunt of thie
aftault; for whiift they were direding their
fire upon a detached troop, another body that
came out of an ambufeade fell upon the left
wing-of that regiment, which being relieved
as soon as poftible by the dragoon regiment of
Aftracan, and a battalion of grenadiers, the
enemies were compelled to tty.
44 On the 3d, the enemy being reinforced
by the Tartars of Temcngi, it c. attempted#
fecund attack on our troops, Majot General
Prince Rargew marched on their right wing,
and compelled them, by a constant and well
directed fire, to fiy in confufion to their habi
tations ; ne*t morning we let fiie to the vil
lages in the environs of Sebach, whert we
found 10,coo puds of butte; and a greet
quantity of barley.”

King to the Duke of Orleans, previous to bit
