By Letters from Warsaw, of the 2d Instant, we hear that a Courier just arrived from Moldavia brought the following Intelligence.

The Turks under the Command of Isouon Oughli, passed the Danube the 9th of June, in Number eighteen Thousand, in three Bodies; two of which afterwards joining, attacked General Potemkin, who was besieging Fort Turno, opposite Nicopolis. That General, however, having been informed of their Design, advanced towards them, dispersed them, seized their Cannon, and forced them to retire towards Viddin.

The other Turkish Corps was more successful; they sat down before Fort Giurgovo, and after several Attacks, for three Days, the Russian Commandant, named Henckel, capitulated on the 14th of June, when he was allowed to march out with all the Honours of War, but leaving sixty four Pieces of Cannon behind. Prince Repnin, hearing of the Attack, marched to the Assistance of the Russians, but arrived three Hours after the Capitulation; however, he has invested the Place, and promises to get Possession of it in fifteen Days. The Russian Commandant, with all his Officers, were put by Prince Repnin under an Arrest. The 7th of March last the taking this Place cost the Russians one Thousand Men.
