Before the battle Bonaparte gave the command to Murat, and went himself with 6000 men to Smo lensk, on his way home, but he was met by General ' Qertel's detachment, which obliged him to return ; he then tried to retreat by the road which goes from Smolensk towards the sea;, there he was met by Wittgenstein's advanced guard, was beaten, and obliged to fall back on the grand army. ,‘ He has now in front of him Tormasow's, Tchit. chak )ff's, and Wittgenstein's armies, and is his fear Prince Kutusow with 150,000 men, 4, The Russians take daily 3 or 41000 prisoners ; Wittgenstein made in one day 6000, and took 23 pieces of cannon ; Platow, 30 pieces of cannon and -3700 prisoners," •hi the written copy it it Mittman sz l but ((snit lie s error of tile transcriber, There has been a general survey on all the Arta-. levy Horses throughout the Western laistrii. 4t Plymouth-Dock 75 horses have beta selected fit FM. , active service, and it is expected that the total retard will be above 900.
