" Being ignorant, it M. the Marshal Count Gou vion Saint Cyr has beep able, for the last two days, to give your Excellency Any tuttlligence col xerning the position which I occupy with the 6th curls of Bavarians, the Ist brigade of French I;ght cavalry, and the brigade of cuirassiers of General L'Hertier, I now make it my duty to inform your Excellency of the movements which I have made since the day before yesterday. " Perhaps, my Lend Duke, you have been ap-1 prised that on the 19th, the enemy, who, on the 18th, had been so bravely and completely beaten befurel Polotsk, has, by his superior force, gained much grouud on General Corbineau, who was charged to; prevent the enemy's pao,:ti,Te of the Ouschatz, and to come by the rear on Polotsk. " The enemy having been at the moment de- , bouchin? flora the town of Polotsk, M. the Marshal Count Gouvion St..Cyr, caused me to be called, to engage me to take the command of the tr3ops which he had reunited on the left bank, to prevent the enemy from debouching. " I took the cominand just as his tirailleurs were coming out of the wood. It was a battalion of the brave 19th French regiment of the line that I found had the most to Support, and to whom I gave orders to charge with ba) tms, as it was necessary to have the enemy di iven back half a league, through the defile, beture the night came on. " This expedition performed, M. the Marshal Count Gonvion St. Cyr put/under my orders the 19th, 37th, and 124th regiments of infantry, the 2d Swiss regiment, the 7th cuirassiers, and 'the brigade of General Corbineau, to endeavour, taking with me a Bavarian brigade, very few in numbers, to reptase ! the enemy from the other side of the Ouschatz, on ' the morning cf the 29d. " I divided this corps into three columns myself leading that of the centre, the left being commanded by: General Baron Amey, and the right' by the . DA varigl General Dc Strath. At half-past fur o'clock in the morning the enemy att ‘cked me on the Lleftlei at the moment when I was myself preparing to make my attack. As I had given orders not to fire, nor to punish the insolence of the enemy, excepting with the bayonet only, he was, in the course of an hour ; and a half, driven through the defile, which is three j leagues in length. " The brave 19th and 37th regiments of time line, commanded by their worthy Brigadier-General trundler, coveted themselves with glory. Two Co lonels, one Major, a great number of Officers, and 1800 men, were made prisoners. a After having debouched from the wood, I at tacked the chief corps of General Stengel, placed on the left bank of the Ouschatz, having with him a nu merous cavalry and artillery. In the space of half an fieur, the Bavarian artiltery, which 1 bad with me, silenced that of the enemy, and I passed the Ouschatz by wading. If General Baron Amey, to whom I had given orders to march down from Rud nia by the left of the Ouschatz, to take the enemy oft his right flank, had been able to arrive at this jun tore, it is meet likely that the whole of the MOO corps would have been destroyed. . • " I was in pursuit of the enemy on the road to Diana, when I received orders from M. the Marshal COORS Gouvion St. Cyr to return towards Polotsk, his Excellency havlng resolved to await the arrival .41 the 9th corps, which is under the command of the Mlrshal Duke de Belluno.

Up to the afternoon, the enemy had lot dared to attack the front Of the right bank of the Polota, some points of which were tolerably well en trenched and hnished ; but about four o'clock they deuouched from the rr.ad of Seibet and Riga, and furiously, and in a crowd, marched upon the left flank or the town, supported by the column which debouched from the Neval road. I wished to have allowed :tit that fine ardour to have been spent upon two redoubts constructed And occupied by the Bava rian artillery and troops necessary to their defence, commanded by General Vicente ; but the Swiss of the second division, commanded by General Merle, as welt as the 3d regiment of Croats, in opposition to the settled dispositions, precipitated themselves among i the Russians, and met their fury with a remarkable bravery and sang froid. " We at last brought the Russians, who made this attack, under the walls of the town, where the ear lnage we caused them from the morning upon all 1 points of their whole army, only terminated with I night. The Russians, notwithstanding their supe riority, left the ground heaped with corpses, and did not succeed in any of their attacks. Notwithstanding the success obtained on this day, I was uneasy in the evening, respecting the sue-. cess my cavalry might have met with upon the left bank of the Dwina. On this day I had deprived my-1 self of the greater part of -my cavalry to be easy re specting my rear. " In the evening, Gen. Corbineau, whose brigade, of horse. extrem .ly fa:Ague-I. had not penetrated be. ..yond the Odschatz, and had met, according to his Jaccount, with some cavalry and a few infantry. As I he wis peifecuy satisfied in this respect, having at 1 . his disposition three battalions of Bavarian infantry, ; I I waited the following day with much tranquillity. 1 On the 19th, at break ot day, we saw the enemy in moventeni upon the line, occupied in re c tifyi n g their ' i position, and forming a leaf circle round ours.-- ! About ten o'clock an Aid-de-camp of General tor- i bateau arrived, and informed me he had before his , brigade 5000 men and 12 squadrons of cavalry. I lost not a moment in taking a regiment out of each of the three divisions of the second corps, taking in preference those which might be most easily with- drawn from before the enemy, who would not then : have tailed to renew his attacks, and only waited to i do it at the appearance of this c o rp s , th e arr i va l o f which he impatiently expected. Towards noon, these troops defiled upon the heights behind Polotsk; the enemy clearly perceived the object of this move. • ment, but thought it was a kind of resetve behind Polotsk. I assembled these troops, under the corn- I mand of General Arney. I joined to them the 7th regiment of cuirassiers, of Donmer's division, who had not hitherto net the enemy in proceeding up the Dwina. At the same time, I ordered, that as soon as it was dusk, the whole of the arniy should cross to the left of the Duna. Towards the fall of day, at the moment in which we- began to withdraw the artil. lery from the advanced works, some imprudent per sons set fire to General Le Grand's barracks, which in a moment communicated through the whole line, and gave the enemy certain proof that we were re tiring. Then he began to fire from all his batteries,' and threw into the town a quantity of shells and other incendiary projectiles, to set it an fire, in which he in part succeeded, hoping by this to prevent our artillery movements, and blow up our caissons. 4, This cannonade and bombardment were support ed by a general attack. We saw each other as if in full day-light, by the light of the burning town ; and ;his attack did not cease until the moment when the last man had repassed to the lett bank of the Duna ; but in the midst of these attacks, and of the confu sion caused by firing-the town, the troops conducted themselves with the utmost bravery, and the retreat was performed in the best order. At midnight, all the artillery was retired, and the whole body of the troop; had passed over at half-past two morning.
