TWENTY-FIFTH BULLETIN OrTHE GRAND ARMY, NIONO/OCt 20. • 44 All' the sick who were in the ho s pita of Mos cow, left them on the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th instant, for Mojaisk and Smolensk. Tip artillery caissons, the ammunition taken, a great quantity of curious things, and two trophies, were packed up, and sent,off on the 15th. •' The army received orders to bake biscuit for 20 days, and hold itself in readiness to march ; in effect the Emperor left Moscow on the 19th. The heard-quarters were the same day at Diana. 66 On the one side, the Kremlin has been armed and fortified, and at the same time it has bet mined, in order to blow it up. 4 6 Some think the Emperor will march upon Toula and Kalouga, to pass the winter in these Provinces, and occupy Moscow, by a garrison in the Kkendin. " Others suppose the Emperor will blow' , " the Ex Milk. and burn the public establishsnemirhich • . • in„atkd that.lutsAl , maaclpsitHlti anfiindrest caries of Polindeio establish his winter•quarters a friendly country. and near to receive evqy thing which exists in the magazines of Dantzic, I Kowno, Wilna, and Minsk, and recover from the fatigues of war ; the latter observe, that Moscow is distant from St. Petersburgh 180 leagues of bad road, whilst WI T tepsk is oaly 130 leagues from St. Petersburgh; that from Moscow to Kiow is 218 leagues, whilst from Smolensk to Kiow is but 112 leagues ; from whence they conclude. that Moscow is not a military posi. tion, or that Moscow possesses no longer political im portance, since that town is burned and ruined for one hundred years. 44 The enemy chewed many Cossacks, who annoy ed our cavalry ; the advanced guard of cavalry placed in advance cif Veukovo, were surprised by a horde of Cossacks ; they were in the camp before they mad mount on horseback. They took of Ge neral 4ebastiani's park of artillery 100 baggage wag. gons, and made about 100 prisoners. " The King of Naples, mounted on horseback with the cuirassiers and carabincers, and perceiving a column of light infantry, cf four battalions, which the enemy sent to support the Cossacks, he charged it, broke it, and cut it in pieces. General Dezi, Aide-de-camp to the King, a brave officer, was killed in this charge, which honours the cara bineers. " The Viceroy has arrived at Fomenskoe. All the army is in march. " Marshal the Duke of Treviso has remained st Moscow, with a garrison. " The weather is very fine, like ihat in Fr l anee during October, perhaps a little warmer : but on the first days of November we may expect colds. " Every thing indicates we must think of winter quarters—our cavalry particularly require it.—The infantry refreshed themselves at Moscow, and are very well."—( ATonitesr, Nov. 9). FROM TliE JOUENAL DE L I EMPIRE OF NOV. 10. The movements of the Grand Army,. mentioned in the Twenty-fifth lialletin, were announced some days ago in private letters from Moscow. The rapid march of the army upon that city, and the brilliant -victory of Mrijaisk, would have ensured the conque. Tors good winter quarters, if the rage and despair of a barbarous enemy had not suggested to him the frightful resolution of - destroying, with his own hands, one of the capitals of his empire. Assam as Moscow was reduced to ashes, it was no more than the advanced post of the French army, the occupation of which must be subbrdinate to the general plan of the campaign, or what must be, at the end of October, the principal and even the only end of a wise Captain, who Ands himself at the head of an immense army in the middle of Russia, that of ensuring good winter quarters before the win ter should come and surprize him, In the first days of November, the Russian win. ter may be expected from one moment to another ; the abundance of the rains and snows render the roads impassable till the period of the great frosts ; the humid cold, much more dreadful than the dry cold, menaces the health of the troops, and prudence im periously demanded that an army before this epoch should provide winter quarters, tranquil, commodi ous, and Extensive : it was not sufficient to remain in inaction ; it was requisite that so considerable a mass of men should breathe upon an extent of terri tory capable of nourishing them. They must have -shelter and places to repose in ; it was in fact neces sary that these quarters should be covered by a chain of posts, which could prevent all the enemy's parties from penetrating it, and troubling the repose of the troops. It is neither military plans, nor topographical posi tions, which decide the choice of winter cantonments the quantity of provisions, and the facility of receiv ing fresh resources, are often the greatest causes of it. They were similar considerfaions which, in the campaign of 1807, decided the Emperor to quit Ear, tern Russia, and bring back his victorious army to the, fertile banks of the Vistula, where t hey pirated the winter in abundance, covering, by their position,i the siege of Dantzic, from whence they moved, on the retyrn of summer, to dictate the terms of the peace of Frit dland and Tilsit, The pkan of the present campaign is traced upon I too grand a scale to admit of any supposition upon the choice of a inter quarters, which the army is going to take. Will it occupy Kalouga and its fertile pro vinces ? Will it menace liow and the rear of Tor , rnassow's army, Will it cover the siege of Riga ? Or will it remain at Witepsk or Smolensk in a central petition; and froth whence it will be able to march, at the lust moment of th; favourable season s Wheretk.: victory calls it ? Whatever may be the positions of which the army may make choice for winter quar ters, we are assured, that during their repose, as in their activity, our invincible legions will command the respect of the enemy's hordes; and we render thanks to that foresight which equally knows how to' precipitate victory, and stop.at that point which wis dom dematids. We think with pleasure that our friends, our brothers, our sons, assembled round the flags of their country, are going to enjoy some mo ments of repose. If they should even purchase this repose by fresh battles, it is good to observe that the fruit of these battles, however brilliant they' may be, neither can nor must be any thing else than the dis persion of the enemy's columns, which perhaps sup port those bands of Cossacks by which the positions upon the Nara have been disturbed. All the movements the army shall make will have only for their object, the ensuring of as tranquil and abundant winter-quarters as possible.. These move ments naturally require a large line of operations, and Moscovi being the extremity of the position which the army occupies, the head-quarters, the focus of all movements, could no longer remain there. To say that the Emperor has left Moscow, is only to say that this father of soldiers marches wherever great opera tions demand his presence. His presence commands victory---.his presence will still watch over the fafety of the victorious army. BERLIN, OCTOBER SI. On the 20th Lientenant•General d'Yorck had his head-quarters at Mittau ; his corps had taken amore advantageous position than the first, where it in a great measure bivouacked in the marshes, which would in this advanced season have been very preju dicial to the health of the troops. BAACELOMA, OCTOBER 21. According to a private letter from Madrid, dated the 14th inst. that city has been plunged in stupor, since the arrival of the English ; all those who either directly or indirectly had a share in King Joseph's Government, are the objects of the most horrible . persecutions. Twenty fathers of families were, on the 13th, taken up, and conveyed to the Retiro. The greater part of the Nobles followed his Catholic Ma jesty, in his retreat upon Valencia. The Engli sh municipality, Armed byWellington, has or the confiscation of their property. The Madrid Gazettes, published under British influence, loudly complain of the bad disposition of the inhabitants of that city. It is certain that the presence of . the English Gene ralissimo has produced an effect totally different to what was expected. During all the time he remUined at Madrid, his operations were confined to shewing himself upon a large balcony. Whenever he appeared in public, he was accompanied by two or three Chiefs of Brigands, among whom was remarked an ancient Friar, surnamed General Medico ; and this outrage, as may easily be conceived, highly offended the proud Castilians.—The great Madrid Theatre and the Opera have been shut up. GERONA, OCTOBER 290 In the night between the 24th and 25th, the enemy attacked Olot ; they entered the tow u, but were not 4hle to maintain themselves uptln the great square, where twelve cavalier?, who penetrated with their; liqrtp, were killed. At break of day out troops ' res ive, and the enemy were repulsed with t e loss of about 100 killed and wounded. We ape assured that M. Lacy clirected this expedition, which could have had no other termination, because the possession of the town did no: give that of the fort, which is sheltered from the attacks of an enemy. The command of it is eatrusted to Nogues, chief of battalion, a distinguished officer, who - has under his orders a garrison that only demands an opportunity of fighting. • GOTTE.VBURGH MAIL. GOTTENBURCH, NOVEMBER 8. The first division of the Russian fleet has left Cron, stadt to proceed to England, consisting of five sail of the line. General Sarrazin arrived here from Heligoland in a merchant vessel, on Wednesday, and was told by the Governor he had orders not to permit him tq laud; which, however, he was at last allowed to do. He is not suffered to leave the town or ttaVel through the country to Denmark; he is, therefore, tct proceid oy sea to Copenhagen. 9 1 1'. PETERSBURGH, OCTOBER :Mt OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS FROM THE ARMIES. Lieutenant-General Count Wittgenstein vports to his Imperial Majesty, from Sokolischloch, under date of October '2 (14), as fellows : 4 , Lieutenant. Colonel Bedraga, of the Isum regil meat of Hussars, was sent with his regiment to dug , other side of the Duna, to cover the movements of t h e corps under the command of Lieutenant General Count. Steingell. This Lieutenant-Colonel reports, on the 28th September (Oct. 10), that he, after hav ing crossed, oo the 24th of September (October 6), the river br swimming, had defeated a battalion nf the enemy's infantry, about 200 of whom ware cut down. The prisoners taken were three officers, and 90 non-ootrunissioned officers and privates. We had seven privates killed, and eighteen wounded. I am sorTY to state, that in this affair the brave Lieutenant Apsevrow, of the Isms regiment, was severely woun ded. We were obliged to leave him behind, on ac count of the impossibility of bringing him across the river b.y swimming he has consequently fallen into the enemy's hands. " REPORT FROM LIEUTENANT OLNERAL BARON wINZIW. CIERop% DATED ELIN, OCTOBER 3 (15.) g.g. I humbly inform your Imperial Majesty that an is well with the corps, the advanced guard, the polio * and the advanced posts. On the laroslaw road the enemy has made no offensive movements. On the Ist (13th) of October, at nine at night, I retired along the road leading to Moscow. On the 30th September (12th October) excursions were made by parties of Cossacks on the Jaroslaw road, towards the right flank of the enemy, OR hit communicatiqn with Moscow ; as also on his left by parties from Tschaschnekowo to Sucharewa, and from Rogatschewo to Dmitrow. I, however, taking with me the regiment ofi>ody Cossacks, two squadrons oX dragoons, two of hussars, and the Cal lane regiment of Stavropol, marched out of the town .of Klin, with intention to attack t;,e enemy posted at Dmitrow. I had resolved to make this Attack in the sii4h4 between the Ist ( 18th) and 2d (l4th.) Oa the y let (13th), et ten at Celt, I arrived at Initrow, and was so fortunate that the enemy' s advanced posts, which were stationed some wersts from the town, did not perceive my march, and wore all taken by fi ne Cossacks ; the picquets had been forgotten by the enemy ip his retreat. On my arrival at Dmitrow I, found it was already left by the enemy, who har e . treated in the greatest haste. His roar guard were marching out of the town at the same time I marched in. When I found this, I immediately detached 200 Cossacks in pursuit of the enemy, and the rear gu ar d WAS come up with some wrists from Datitrow ;—ie consisted entirely of infantry. On account of ri le darkness of the night, and the fatigued state of the horses, who had that day come above 50 w arts , and stilt mole, because the enemy sheltered and concealed hiniself in woody places, where he left behind him men in ambush, the Cossacks could not pursue the enemy further ; but 100 waggons, laden with pro. visions and different kinds of plunder, and 38 priso. ners, were taken. The loss of the enemy in killed and wonoded must have been considerable. Th e waggons taken on this occasion were given to the i a . habitants of Dmitrow, who must lr.ve suffered se much from the enemy. 46 According to accounts I have this moment re, ceived, the enemy continued his retreat to M on , and on his march was incessantly harassed b y the parties I sent out on different sides. 6 , My advanced-guard has proceeded forward on the Petersburgh road, and has occupied Tschaschu kowo ; the picquets are at Tchernaga Gras. T - CM• not precisely say what motives induced the eaerey to abandon Dmitrow, whether he heard of my march and considered my force as superior to his, or whether he had received orders to that effect. With respect to the movement upon Dmitrow, I believe the motive of it was to conceal the movement which, aeti cording to all accounts I have received, the enemy's the same time made on our grand.army. I bare thi t moment sent off orders again to occupy the town of WoskusSensk, towards which the patroles sent* Major Figlew daily approach. Lieutenant-Colossi Prendel makes excursions from the town of Wolies lemsk, in the surrounding countries of Moshaisk and Rusa; and Lieutenant-Colonel Tschernosubow (8) makes similar - excursions into the neighbouring coun tries of Wiasma and Giatsk. 1 By the litter, two French couriers, with dispatches from Moscow, bars lately been taken prisoners. From these accoaass your Imperial Majesty witl perceive, that the enemy„ on the Smolensk road, is incessantly harassed by-psT ! tics of C.oasacks from my detechment.". . • • , GIBRALTAR MAIL. . dm•••••••••••• ALICANT, OCTOBER 13.
