Russian Victories Over Turks Reported In Archipelago And On Pruth
A July report outlines two major Russian victories against the Ottoman forces. Naval success off the Archipelago saw 19 Russian ships under Admiral Elphinston defeat 23 Turkish ships, with Zeffier Bey’s flagship sinking and several Turkish vessels disabled. Separately, a Russian army routed a Turkish force of over eighty thousand along the Pruth, capturing tents, artillery, and baggage and scattering the Turkish army beyond recovery. The notices suggest potential peace talks, while other dispatches mention weather damage in Lorraine and a grand levee at St James's.
