The chief military event of the week is the capture

of Trebizond by the Russians, the news of which was published in London on Wednesday morning. This signal victory was obtained by the combined action of the Army of the Caucasus and the Black Sea Fleet. The Russian Army fought a great and hotly contested battle on Friday, April 14th, in which they were successful, and then "pressed the Turks without respite, everywhere shattering their resistance." The skilful handling of the Fleet enabled our gallant Allies to carry on effective landing operations, and the ships also gave support to the Army by means of their gunfire. The Army attacking Trebizond was "helped by operations in other directions in Asia Minor."
