AMERICAN PAPERS. • (PROM Tilt REDERAL GAZETTE, JULY 80, 1812.) Extract of a letter from a Gentleman of high re spectability at hatchitsches, to the Editors of the Natelies Chronicle,. dated May 10, 1812 :—" I am not able to detail you any particulars relative to the Re volution in Mexico ; but, generally, that the Revolu tionists are in great force, and advancing this way, and, it is expedted, will cut their way through all op position, so as to open a free communication to this place, where they will be supplied with arms, &c. (if not men,) to enable them to complete the revolution. Colonel Bernard, who left this place last fall, for the . seat of our Government, has returned here again, and some persons with him, and are communicating with the Generals of the revolutionary armies of Mexico, relative to future operations. The present moment is pregnant with important events—a few weeks will unfold them. I hope within six months to see the citizens of the United States pass• and repass as freely throughout the present Spanish dominions to As South Sea, as they now do through their own country. The pass between Mexico and La Vera Cruz, I be here, continues shut ; and the Revolutionists have in. tercepted all communication between Chihuagua, the residence of the Governor-General and Mexico. The troops of the Royal party are -deserting and coming in here frequently, and say that Ferdinand the Se venth's party appear to be losing ground fast. They ' have been trying to engage some of the Indians in their favour, but have entirely failed. The Indians are inclined to favour the Revolutionists." • BUFFALO, JULY 14. POSTURE OF AFFAIRS ON THE CANADIAN LINES. Cereral Brock, President of the Parliament of Up per Canada, acting Governor of the Province, and Commander in Chief of his Majesty's forces in Upper Canada, is at present at Newark, sup;:rintending the •arious defences on the river. He is stated to be an *ble and experienced officer, with undoubted courage. He came from Little York soon alter hearing the de claration of war, and it was believed with a serious in tention of attacking Fort' Niagara; but contrary to *hat has been reported, he made no demand of a surrender. Expecting a descent from the American army, the Canadians have, for ten days past, been removing their families and effects from the river, into the in • terior. At Newark, Queenstcrn, and other villages on the river, there are no inhabitants except a tew civil officers and soldiers. It is even Said, that an immense quantity of specie, plate, &c. from various parts of the province, had been boxed up, and destined for Quebec. The British are understood to have about 6 or 700 regular troops stationed between the lakes, from Fort George to. Fort Erie. These men are generally those who have "seen service" in various parts of the world. The militia of the province are ordered out en Nam. The British are said to have more than 100 pieces of flying, field, and garrison artillery, in the different defences on the Niagara river. Fort Erie has been strengthened considerably. There is also a small bat tery on the point below Chippawa, mounted with two pieces of heavy artillery, calculated to play upon the store-house and mills of Schlesser. Below the falls there is a small stone battery, near the bank of the river, where the lower ladder formerly stood. , On Thursday evening last, -a rifleman deserted from the other side, and crossed the river immediately below the falls on a pine log ; he stated, that but, a little way from the battery up the river, a field-piece was stationed in the bushes in order to fire into Schlesser village. The woollen factory of Mr. John W. Stoughton (consisting of two carding machines, and fulling and dressing machinery) is very much exposed. On the hill, about half a mile from the store battery, are placed two 18-pounders. The ladders on both sides of the river are taken up. On Wednesday morning last, during a thick fog, four British soldiers, standing as sentinels on the river, near Fort George, swam over to the American shore. Three of them brought over their arms. It is stated by gentlemen of intelligence at Lewis ton, that the Government of Canada have in their employment, under pay, about 250 Indians, armed complete ; A p. i t 4f them are mounted. Brigadier-General William W.rdse erth, from Ge nesee, cemwands the troops on our frontiers. His head-quarters are now at Lewiston. It is impossible to state the precise number of troops under his corn- - stand, because. the Militia ordered on the lines are • returning, and the companies composing the regi ments under his command have not all arrived ; but from what we learn, there are in regular troops, volunteers, and detached militia, above 4000 sta tioned at Rock, Lewiston; Youngstown, and Fort Niagara. The troops are in excellent health, in goad spirits, and well supplied. They appear quite impatient for want of employment. There has been some fir irsg from the sentries on both sides of the river. The British armed ship Queen Charlotte, lying. at Fort Erie, soon after the declaration of war was re ceived, ltft her moorings and proceeded up the lake, and is now understood to be at 'Fort Malden, the great depot of Indian supplies. His Majesty's sloop of war Hunter, has gone up the Straits of Mackina, and passed into lake Michigan, and captured an Ante. scan merchant vessel. We understand an official ac . count of the capture las been received at 'Fort Erie. There is some sickness prevailing among the troops stationed enihe ►ines; but not so much as migkt be fteected. during tie iatenw heist of the summer. TRENCH P.4PERS4 PARIS, SEPTEMBER S. We hasten to repair - very important omission, by replacing this day among the documents which ought to be annexed to the 13th Bulletin of the Grand Army, the following report addressed by the Prince of Schriavenberg, to the Prince Majot-General.— This report ought to have preceded that from the Staff of the Austrian corps, dated Kobryn, August 13, and inserted in the Moniteur of yesterday. . REPORT OF THE PRINCE OF SCHWARZENIERCS TO Tilt puNcE MAJOR-GENERAL. Kobryn, August 14, 1812. MONSEIGNEUR—I beg your Most Serene Highness to acquaint his Majesty the Emperor, that the army of Tormasoff, which had taken a position beyond Horodezna, and Ptodubnie, was attacked on the 12th by that which I have the honour to command, beaten and pursued on the 13th beyond Kobryn. The enemy suffered a loss of 3,000 men in killed and wounded, besides SOO prisoners. Under cover of the night of the 12th, he withdrew all his artil lery beyond the Muchawetz, and we could only take from him some caissons. Our heads of columns arrived at Kobryn on the 13th, an hour after mid day ; the enemy's troops crowded the heights on the left bank. On the arrival of the infantry, 1 caused the bridge to be re-established, and a portion of the ground beyond it to be occupied ; but the enemy displaying - a numerous infantry, and my troops being much fatigued, I was not able to push him forward more than a league and a half, on the route from Kobryn to Divin, which the enemy took with his whole army. I have this day sent forward General Bianchi, with two brigades, two batteries, and 1200 horse, on the road to Divin. Some parties are advancing upon Antopal ; and I requested • General Reynier to push strong detachments towards Brzesc. These detachments set out yesterday, and I await the details. .The enemy has a very numerous artillery, and it has been pretty well served. I learned at Kobryn, that General Gaplitz, with 4 corps of 7000 men, with which I had an action at Sienivice, did not arrive with 24 pieces of artillery, 'till the evening after the battle ; a circumstance so much the more advantageous to me, because Tor 'rnasoff's cavalry is more numerous than that which have to oppose to him. The greatest praise is due to General Count Rey nier, and the Saxon troops which foupt under him. "It is to this General that I must chiefly ascribe the glory of the action of the 12th. The task of turning t lett of the enemy fell to his lot, and he perform. ed it with the coolness and vigour to be exp.:cted from so distinguished an officer. The Austrian troops engaged in the combat, dis played the greatest ardour, and fought with admi. rable perseverance and bravery. The brave regi. ment Jerome Colloredo, amidst a shower of chain- (shot from a battery established on the heights, and notwithstanding a loss of 18 officers and 300 men, passed. straight on through a marsh which was thought impracticable, to charge the flank of the enemy, who, by redoubled attacks, had forced the Saxon brigade of General Saar to' give way for a moment. Ills regiment overthrew, with the bayonet, all that opposed it ; thus disengaging the left flank of the above brigade, which availed itself of that op portunity to reform the line. The enemy having pushed a detachment of 1000 infantry, 800 horse, and some cannon, by Lohiezin, upon lwantzewiczy, on the Czara, in order to dis turb our communications with Slonim, I have sent General Mohr, to attack this detachment, and give it all possible annoyance., 'With this I transmit a copy of the order of battle found in the lodgings of General Tormasoff, at Ko bryn. I am, Ace. (Signed) SCHWAIIZENBEHG. SEPT. g. —Private letters from Smolensko announce, that that town had become all at once the point of re union, and of the passage of several numerous coritt : d'armie r that it begins to see order and tranquillity succeed the fright and disorder spread through it by the Russians in their flight. We are occupied in re. pairing, as much as circumstances will allow, the 1 damages occasioned by the fire, and in conveying .out of the . city the enemy's dead, and to the hospi tals the wounded of both armies, that care may be taken of them. The number of prisoners increases every instant, by the stragglers which our troops col lect in the different places upon the road to Moscow, where, as is said, the inhabitants, in their turn, have delivered themselves up to all that agitation which precedes a great event. The Nobility and inhabi tants of that ancient capital are packing up and • sending away their most precious effects, and taking measures for abandoning a city, which they despair of seeing defended by as at my in full rout. The French troops extend upon both banks of the Borys thene to the confluence ilf that river with the river W'op, as well as nearly to Usweate, opal the great Moscow road.—(Journal de Parit, S:pt. 8.)

VIENNA, AUGUST e 4 * - - The Supplement to our Court Gazette contains the following Report : • 64 The Captain of Cavalry Count Woyna, of the Hulans of the Archduke Charles, dispatched on the 15th of August, as a courier from the bivouac before Kobt, n, by the General Commandant the Prince of Schwarzenberg, brought news, that that General of Cavalry having received f-om his Majesty the Em peror of the French the command of the 7th corps of the French army, marched from Kossow on the 7th instant, with the two corps d'armee under his orders, for the purpose of entering Volhynia, and attacking the enemy's corps commanded by Gene rals Tormassow and Kaminsky, who had for some time interrupted the communication with the Dutchy of Warsaw. " On the Bth, the corps d'armee passed the JAS sioid.i, near co Kartuska-Beresna. _ _ .6 IViajor.Gcneral Baron Froelich with his two regi ments of hussars, came up, near Edenhof.Bluden, with au enemy's corps of about two thousand horse. The division 61 cavalry and the division of Sie gentlia, received orders to advance to attack the enemy, and to * draw up near Horetz and Edenhof- Bluden. 66 In the mean time, General Freeitch attacked, with a great deal of intrepidity, the enemy's cavalry which fronted him at Horetz, though superior to him in numbers, made many prisoners, and repulsed the enemy as far as the plain of Sienevice, a small town where the enemy had posted some artillery And infantry. The regirnent of hussars of the Emperor displayed on this occasion its accustomed bravery.— The infantry of the division of Siegenthal, consist. Ing of the 7th battalion of chasseurs,_that of the fron tiers of Waradin, two battalions of Kottulinsky, and a battalion of Czartorisky, were destined to attack Sienevice on the left ; they. were compelled to make a circuit on account of the marshes, for the purpose of concealing their march : in the mean time, our ca valry, which had advanced as far as Podhosae, corn. menced their attack. 66 The advanced posts of the enemy were driven back; those drawn up in front of the town were cannonaded by the artillery, and though the infantry had not yet come up to attack the left flank, Siene vice, after a defence of two hours, was taken and oc cupied by our troops. A number of prisoners were taken in this affair. Onr whole corps d'armee has had to regret the loss of the brave. Colonel Baron Horwarth, of the Hussars of the Emperor, who was mortally wound. ed in the beginning of the action, and who next day died the death of heroes. 46 By the battle of Sienvice, the left flank of our corps was completely secured. 4 , It then advanced, on the 9th, towards Pruszana, in order to join the corps of General Reguier • for the division Siegenthal could then establish itself en the road of the dyke towards Chomsk and Antepel, by whiCh the Russian division of Czaplitz had been pursued, But General Baron Mohr was ordered at the same time to Advance near to Diady, and to pass the Jasiolda, as well as the defiles of Beresna, and of Chomsk, to secure on our roar the communi cation with Slonim, where were our magazines and our baggage. 44 The corps d'armee bivouacked on the night of the 9th between Malecz and Kabaki. " On the 10th, while the corps d'armee advanced upon Pruszana, the Saxon corps under the orders of General Regnier, which had advanced by Welikzelo had an engagement with the enemy. 4 , The latter had marched his rear guard in front of Pruszana. He appeared desirous of defending that place ; but Lieutenant-Colonel the Baron de Li lien attacked him so impetuously with the regiment of hussars of Kienmayer, that he was compelled to retire upon the heights behind Prinz:ma. The division Trantenberg, supported by the di vision of cavalry, then advanced beyond Pruszana, and drove the enemy from all his positions as far as Koschibrod, while General Regnier covered the right flank of this column in march. " The enemy posted some cavalry, infantry, and artilkry behind the defiles on the heights of Koschi brod. A dyke of 1200 paces in length led to this position : be had arranged his artillery opposite to the dyke, placed some infantry on each side of it, and occupied with infantry and three pieces of can non the inn which was in front of the dyke. 46 The sth battalion of chasseurs, commanded by Colonel Baron iuden, made a vigorous attack on the inn, drove along the dyke the Russian infantry, which was posted there, took one cannon, with a quantity of caissons, and kilted a great many in the marsh. s' The frontier battalion of St. George, and the Ist battalion of Duka, had, in the mean time,' at tacked the Russian infantry in the thickets around the dyke itself, and had compelled them, after a se vere action, to retire to the heights in the rear of the dyke. The troops of Waradin and the chasseurs ad vanced with incredible ardour across the marshes, and kept up a very lively fire upon the enemy's ar tillery, which could do them very little injury. " The battalion of Duka supported this attack with a great deal of bravery ; and as a detachment had been caused to advance at the same time beyond the marsh and by the forest, against the left flank of the enemy, he was at length compelled to abandon his very strong position. 4g It was thus that, to the honour of the Austrian arms, this important defile was carried in a few hours, and with trifling loss. 66 On the I I th, Field Marshal Lieutenant the Ba ron Frimont, with his division of cavalry, followed the enemy, who passed, during the night, the defile of Horodetzka, and took a position beyond it, on heights very advantageously situated. " The enemy's position was reconnoitred, and his force was fohnd to consist of from 33 to 40,000 men, with sixty pieces of cannon. His front was covered by an impenetrable marsh, beyond which it was im possible to penetrate but by the dykes, as far as Ho rodetzka and Podnbnie, in the centre °Elbe enemy's position. The enemy could sweep these dykes with a numerous artillery—it was theretore impossible to attempt any attack on the front of the enemy, with out being exposed to great.loss. 66 The Austrian and Saxon troops passed the defile of Koschibrod, and advanced to the rear of Horo detzka, into the plain, whither also marched the di vision Siegenthal, which had remained at Sienevice to cover the advance to Pruszana. On the 12th, the enemy having neglected to oc cupy a wood on the left of Podubnie, where be could have supported his left flank with great advantage, Prince Sch warzenberg resolved to cause General Reynier to advance with the 7th corps El'armee, rein forced by the Austrian regiments of light horse of O'Reilly and Hohenzollern, the infantry regiments of Simbschen and Alvinzy, and two batteries, on the road of Scheresseff to Kobryn, which passes through the wood, for the purpose of turning by that means, the left flank of the enemy, while his attention was occupied by demonstrations at Horodetzka and Po dubnie.. " The division Siegenthal, after the departure of the Saxon corps, occupied the position which the lat ter hadheld at Podubnie. But the march of the Saxons, and of our bri gades, could not be concealed from the enemy ; in consequence of which he advanced in haste from his 2d line to form flank with la division which he drew from Kobryn to reinforce himself. At ten o'clock the colunia wired on the border I o? the wood ; it quickly debouched, and formed and a the enemy's fire ; the caval r y f ormed the right • The enemy extended his flank in such a way, t h i a l soon threatened that wing with his cavalry, w hi til was very superior in numbers—and it thus beca me necessary rather to think of „repelling his reit erated attacks, than to continue attempting to turn hi s k ft wing. The combat became general, and on all poi nt , the most lively fire of artillery was opened. 44 The enemy made many vigorous attacks to ov er , whelm the Saxon left wing, because he hop e d h yi taming possession of the wood!, entirely to cut off* right wing, but he was repulsed with loss. " The Prince of Schwarzenberg took adva uta ,, of this decisive moment, and caus e d a barridieeei the regiment of Colloredo to pass through a p art tit the marsh which was found practicable for inf amt ,, This battalion, hazing the water up to the b ee ' s reached at last, under a very wa r m fi re h eel , the enemy, the foot of the ridge, and carried i t t ri sault, with the greatest intrepidity. 64 It is true it was repulsed at one point ; b ut 6 4 Saxon light infantry having advanced, an d fi eld. Marshal Lieutenant Bianchi having marched at t h e same time against the enemy with the re giment ti Alvinzy, the Russian infantry were driven t a d as far as the heights behind Podubnie. Howev er , I k e enemy attempted once more, at the extremity °fli t left wing, to attack our cavalry with his, which Iris much more numerous. " The Saxon cavalry advanced to the enemy' s front, while our brigade of light horse took biro flank ; and in consequence of this, the enemy's c a . valry was driven behind his infantry. Night put as end to the combat. " The right wing. by its advance, threatened to cut of the communication of the enemy with Ir.obry ; under cover of the night he endeavoured to rea le it ; and the result was, that he availed himself of the night of the 12th to effect his retreat. The killed and wounded whom he lett on the field of battle m ew to more 3000 men. All the Austrian and Saxon cavalry pursuan t enemy's rear.guard, which consisted of from 7 to -8000 cavalry, some regiments of chasseurs, and bpi. gades of flying artillery. The two cavalry Inisade t of Froelich and Zechmeister attacked him with rnd, vigour at Strichuwo, which precipitated his ret it a upon Kobryn. The enemy formed anew before Kobryn, and shewed a disposition to defend it; but the prompt a t . rival of our batteries of flying artillery, comp him, by their fire, to relinquish this plan—he red* precipitately through the town, and beyond Melia. chawiec, setting fire to the bridge; however, it was extinguished soon enough to enable a part of ulna& vanced guard to cress over to the other bank. 4 'Prince Schwarzenberg concludes with bestoih praises on the different officers and corps en and estimates his loss at 1300 men, killed, and missing."
