DEC. 24. The above sentcoce was renamed by the Emperor and King on the 6th lost, • BAII"I'Lli OF OCAN A. TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER AT WAR. " Dos Bs Rai os, Nov. 19, 1801.—The troops of his Impe rial have gained a signal victory. The battle was fought in the vicinity of (Vino, where the insurgents had as sembled a force of 55,000 men, 7000 of whom were horse, with a numerous park of artillery, The 4th corps, joined by the sth, under the orders of Marshal the Duke of Treviso; the division of dragoons, commanded by General Milhaud; the division of light horse, under the command of General Beaure gard ; and the brigade of light horse of General Paris, the Royal Guards, and two bamiions of Spanish troops, marched yesterday from Aranjuez to meet the enemy, who, according to every intelligence received, had taken post at Ocaoa. About pine o'clock this morning our advanced parties came in sight of the enemy's army. At 11 o'clock the action commenced, ;Md in two hours it was decided in our favour. The Spaniards, en couraged by their superiority in numbers, made a vigorous re sistance, but they were attacked with such irresistible salour by our troops, that they soon gave way, their position was carried, and they were thrown into the utmost confusion. All their artillery and field equipage fell into our hands. More than 50 pieces of cannon have already been brought in ; 15 stand of colours, and numerous prisoucrs have been taken, among whom are three Generals, six Colonels, and 700 inferior officers. The ground is covered with the slain, and with more than 40,000 muskets. They who escaped, took to Hight with out arms, and without knowing whither to direct their steps. " This morning the King gave the command of the cavalry to General Sebastiani ; and the admirable manner in which he manoeuvred and made bis charges fully justified his Majesty's choice. General Milhaud also greatly disting uished himself,and all the different Commanders of horse displaye the utmost intre pidity and valour. The Marshal Duke of Treviso commanded the 4th and sth corps. It is utterly impossible to behave in a snore gallant manner than he did ; he received a contusion in the arm, but this did not prevent him continuing the command. Our loss does not, in my estimation, exceed 400 men. The Marshal Duke of Belluno is ordered this morning to cross tli Tagus between Villamanrigne and Fuente Doenar. Ile is to at tack the enemy Li the position he has taken up at Santa Cruz. and pursue iu whatever direction he may choose to retreat. lie was this morning informed, by letter, that the enemy had con centrated his force near Ocaoa, and ordered to direct his march to that point. As he had to perform a very long march, he could not arrive sufficiently in time to share in the action ; nay. the King did not receivt, any intelligence from him the whole of the day, and is Majesty is therefore perfectly ig norant of what the Duke of Bellow, has been doing. I s hall, however, have to make my further report on this subject as soon as possible. " Be pleased to lay my report before his Imperial Majesty, and to accept the assurance a my high consideration. " THE RSH DUKE OF DALMATIA." —m o p. RUSSIA. RPSCRIPT OP HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA, TO THE MINISTER OF TILE INTERIOR, PRINCE KURAKIN. " We have received intelligonce of the exchange of the rati fication of the Treaty of Peace concluded between France and Austria, by which the war between iLussia and the tatter Power is terminated. " According to the principles of this peace, Austria remains, as before, our neighbour in GaUeda. The Polish provinces, instead of being united, remain still divided among three powers ; Russia acquires again a considerable portion of these provinces ; and another part of them, bordering on the Duchy of Warsaw, 'ill be incorporated oWI the Suite' , of the King of Saxony. la this manner are we, after the fortunate termination - of the Swe dish war, likewise freed from the burthen of the Austrian war. All dreams of the separation of the Polish provinces have va nished. The present order of things likets ise establis-hes limits for them for the future ; and Russia enlarges, instead of losing, her territuryin this country. " While we return thanks to Almighty God for the happy termination of this war, we commission you to notify the saute to all civil Governors. " We are convinca that all our faithful subjects, after receiv ing notice of thisjo) ful event, will join with us in thanksgivings to the Almighty, who has blessed Russia with a glorious and wished-for peace.
