Several letters received from the Grand Army speak of fresh successes having been gained by the Grand Army over the Russians. On the 14th there was a very, brisk affair between the advanced guards, in which the Russians were beaten'; and on the 18th, Smolensko was taken by the French troops.— (Gazette de France, Sept. 1.) We have to day received several private letters Il i from the Grand Army ; they announce, that on the 18th in the morning, our troops entered Smolen.sko. llt appears that the Russians had first determined to , defend this place, which they had armed and forti- Lod ; but that the rapid arrival of the French army entirely disconcerted their projects. We fell upon the enemy with such impetuosity, says one of these letters, that they had not time to reconnoitre, and ! entered the town in full gallop, whilst they were in it. They fled with , uch rapidity, that they left all their artillery upon the ramparts. We have taken many equipages and considerable magazines. Our troops are full of ardour—the country in which' they have entered is one of the most fertile in Russia; it is covered with villages, and offers the greatest re sources to the army.
