On the third, every movement of the Turks gave room lor believing that they proposed to Lmake a Second attack against the position oi the bervians. On the following night, the commandant Stanoje detached the Chief Obrad with four battalions and four com panics towards Kumi iza, in order to observe the movements of the Turks, and drive away the corps which they had near Sitnitza. On the 25th, at day.bteak, he advanced himself with all his forces, divided into 5 columns, .to attack the ene my's camp, about 600 pices from Litnitza. He had already ao- pr cached within a short distance of f it, when a l urkish c orps of about 2000 men came out ot Sitnitsa, Sc fell upon him, seemingly with in tent to cut oflf the 5th column.

J he second column of insurgents attacked the batteries placed be fore Sitnitza, and endeavoured to drive thc.Tuiks from them. The tUiid and fourth columns secondt d this enterprise, but were renulsed with loss by the murderous fire of the batteries. Then the commas uant, stanoje, placing himself at the head of the irh rXun , tu "..-I ": ,T "uc The Servians afterhaving scaled the entrenchments, entered Sitr nuza, and cut to pieces all who made any resistance.
