Warsaw, May 17. Prince Gallitzin, after singing Te Deum for his late victory, was in march the 2d of May, to re-occupy the camp of Kales, and refresh his troops. The same day the Pacha of Natolia having collected some of the runaways, and massacred the Jews and Christians whom the Pacha of Choczim had turned out of that city as useless mouths, advanced and attacked the Russians in their march, but they only took about ten empty waggons, the Captain who covered the train with 80 men, keeping them off for 4 hours without losing a single man. In the mean time, Prince Prozorowski was detached to engage the Pacha of Natolia, which he did with such courage and conduct, that the enemies soon gave way, and were pursued as far as Purth.
