RUSSIAN btlLttlINS. , - WORT 07 THE OPERATIONS.OF THE WAL " Head-quarters, June 19, (July 1). 14 The French army appears to have divided itself two ores The one following our movements, and i nto , the other en deavouring to outflank us on the right. The first corps of our army proceeds on its march acc ording to the plan adopted, and has already el tided its junction with various divisions. The ene tnii in recon noitring us, has made attacks on several points, but has always been repulsed with loss. In we of these skirmishes, Count Delow Denizen, Ge neral Adjutant to his Imperial Majesty, took several risonets , a mong whom is Count Octavius Segar. P 4 , On the 18th the corps pf Count Wittgenstein wasbetwee p Wilkomie and Holtmeny. The corps of Lieutenant -General l'utsckow and Count Scher-1 waloff are approaching Swenzenny. The corps of General Docliter , w is on the march from Ochmany to Swe"e"Y' General Platow has left Bralostock, towards Wilecka. Prince Bagr a tion zd is drawing nootinues to approach the first corps." " Head-quarters, June 21, (July 9). as Daring these two days no important events have ta k e n place in the army relating to its farther con cenmaion ; but it has established itself at Swenzenny, pe ar Vidoy. By this movement the communications Iv a the carps of General Docterow ate completely pored. That General has been joined on his side bathe Count Pahlen, who at the beginning of hosti lities was at Grodno. Thus the'several corps of the armies have remained entire till now, and have not left a single detachment. Seven squadrons of Wench cava lry, with cannon, have been vigorously repulsed 1 1 the rear-guard of the first army corps. " From the Head-quarters in Lamoz, June 1:3, 1812. ad The different divisions of the army continue to form a junction. It is chmlitiom every circumstance, that the neva Emperor has been forced, in conse quence of our mode of conducting the campaign, to change his original plan t f operations, which only wanrated in useless marches, as we had aband ned the spot, which would have been most advantageous fel him in the event of a b.ttle. By suds a proce elm we have in part attained our object, and expect also, in future, a similar result. " To-day our army is stationed in the following places : ." The Corps of Count Wittgenstein, in Kimsliary. The Corps 'Of the Generals Baggreinwadt, Tut schitotv, Johnwallow, has encamped before Wither. " The Corps of General Dochterow, in Budna. " The Reserve in Kantoz. " On the 18th of June, the Colonel of the regiment of Polish Henlaw Galewa, was dispatched, together widi the craps under his command, by Major-Gene r:4l Kurt, in order to reconnoitie the enemy. In the evening of the 20th, he received orders to direct his snrch across the district of Lanrupa to the town of tiwenzianes, for which place he set out early on the next day, after having assembled his or dettes, in the hope of finding his revinient there ; but the places through wl.ich lie had to pass, were already occupied ty thee regiments of the enemy's cavalry. When Colonel Galewa perceived himself to be thus completely hemmed in, lie formed his troop into a Amin, and proceeded to cut his way through the enemy's cavalry. After having accomplished his object, and gained a IA ood, he charged the hone yagers, who attempted a second time to intercept Lim, arid put them to fliOrt. " flis loss consisted of one Officer and forty-six privates; that of the enemy amounted to two Corn- 1 trianders of squadrons and a considerable number of hulans, grenadiers, and yagers killed." " From the He;td quarters near Alms; June '25, (July 7, N. S.) " This day the army occupies the hollowing po sitions : " The corps of Count Wittgens•ein, at Breslau. " The 2d and 3d corps at begin., " The 4th at Nawloky. " The sth at Melaschi. 41 The 6th corps at Noragrodi. The movements of the enemy have been more frequent, which has caused some skirmishing. Gene ral Major Coef, commanding the rear squadron of the 2d and Od corps, has repulsed all the attacks of the enemy in the road to Desna. By his skilful dis positions he - .as succeeded in keeping the enemy in check, al:ll,ugh they had a great superiority of ca valry. Th e horse artillery, under the command of Central Count Kutusow, forced them to retreat with We have made prisoners Colonel Puntzen, in the service of Wit temberg, and thirty privates. The Commander-in-Chief praises the conduct of Count Hutsisoff, and likewise the bravery of the imperial Cdsstacks and Polish Hulans." THE EVENING STAR. LONDON-. TUESDAY, AUGUST 4.

The Anbolt Mail of yesterday, in addition to the inttlligence which we then communicated, has /Atli& three Bulletins of the Russian Armies, bringing down their operations to the .sth of July. These ar e plain uavarnithed statements, such as a regimental Adjutant is in thehabit of drawing up for Ferusal of his superiors, but they enable ds to draw fhe most favourable inferences respecting the conduct et the Russian Generals. 'r1:01 objects of the French, irehle the Russians entrenched themselves behind the l)wina, seems to have been to bring on a general action, but they were foiled in every attempt, and the Russians turned upon their pursuers with a fury •hick uniformly checked their advanc*, and threw them hack upon their main body in disorder. LI the skirmishes, which were incessant and severe, the' French have suffered considerably in their cavalry, besides losing a great number of officers of rank. The private letters from St. Petersbrorgh by the above Mail enable us in some measure to make up *or the scantiness of the Bulletilah Vic mixt Rus-, glad population ate aniMated with the most enttufs4 astic patriotism, and seem determined to repel their invaders with their whole energies. Full of con - dence in the resu,li of the war, the people. rich and poor, were daily coming forward with Contributions for the support of the Government. The Imperial City of Moscow has nobly undertaken to raise and equip an army of 80,000 men: —Prince Saboff has given 150,000 ducats, and an immense quantity of flour.—Countess Orloff has contributed three Mil lions of rubles, and patriotic subscriptions were set on foot in every hamlet in Russia. If the sinews of war are to be strengtaeoed in this manner by the unanimous co-operation of the immense Russian Empire, the hour when the struggle is carried on foot to foot, a nd man to man, will be a glorious one for Russia and for the World. —Would to Gon that Statemen - and Yr•inces would enter into no wars but those in which they could rely •n the justice of their cause alone to awaken the moral and physical ener gies of the people whom they govern !

" LISBON, JULY 14. " The combined army having continued its march towards Valladolid, Marmont pretended to make front at Tordisellas, and with a large corps of ca valry and artillery, to defend the passage, but when seemed determined-to invest the place, or support an attack, and a corps of Cacadores adva'nced on the enemy's left flank, they got in dis7rder, and were obliged to retire, leaving the passage free to our troops. On this occasicn, it is said, the French lost 500 men." " LISBON, JULY lg. gg While General Hill remained at Llerena, he learnt that Drouet had taken a position near Bulanga, and was determined to fight there; he therefore ad. vanced, and after some slight skirmishing, in which we (Id not lose a man, whilst the enemy had a Lieu tenant-Colonel of cavalry and some men taken, they took to their heels and fled to Usagre. General Hill returned to Llerena, where he remained on the 13th i►:st. On that day 15 Polish lancers deserted to us, who say, that the French literally subsist on the grain they daily plunder, which is made into bread by the infantry. They have no depot, except a very scanty ono at Cordova, which Soult has forbidden to be touched ; and that if affairs continue long in their present state, all the foreigners will desert the French service.

From unfavourable winds 1 was tent able to leave Quebec until the 14th day of June, and from the ice breaking up late, there were only eleven vessels ready to sail with me; I think it but justice to the underwriters to state, as my opinion, that vessels in the•iitt of convoy have taken tannic lions for the sole purpose of receiving part of their Insurance and with positive determination to proceed•without protection. The Birkley, Christopher, F.sk, and others, were very inattentive to my signals, and I think certainly kft me by design."
