French Victory Report Counts Generals and Troops Captured
The dispatch claims three generals Grouchy Perignon and Bellerand and 4000 to 5000 officers and privates fell into our hands along with the enemy artillery. It notes French losses but predicts glorious consequences and a potentially complete French victory. It also mentions a Turkish dispute between Patwan Oglou and Pacha Mustafa and a blockade of Orfova. Armed Danube boats intercept supplies and Patwan Oglou offers a reward for the Pacha’s head.
