_Souvaroff's Despatch_ (Vol. viii., p. 490).--Souvaroff's doggerel despatch
from Ismail, immortalised by Byron, is, as usual, misspelt and
mistranslated. Allow me to furnish you with what I have never yet seen in
English, a correct version of it:
"Slava Bogou, slava Vam;
Krépost vziala, ee ya tam."
"Glory to God, glory to You,
The fortress is taken, and I am there."
