General Field 'Marshal, which joined the .detaeh ment before sent out, crossed the r.zerliolscha, and purstied the enemy into Tschegadajewa, from whence the enemy's infantry kept up a heavy fire of Mnsketry. The enemy . after this moved out of the villitger, and formed in square, when the Don Cossacks divided, and threw thetnselVes on them with impetuosity, .forced into the square, cut down 40 men on the spt , t, and made 60 prisoners, among whom is Captain Fotibier, who ryas wound ed in the arm. All the parties detached on the enemy's line of communication form an indivisi. ble connection. Their successful attacks on the enemy, and the number of prisoners which they have made, at a time when they were tar less in number than they are at present, are a security for the certain event which they have now before them. . • " Twenty-four additional regiments of Don 'CoSseAs,- have lately joined the army. Such a `conslderable augmentation to the irregular troops, gives certain means of causing the greatest iujnry to the enemy." With the' above journal of the warlike opera tions, the Field-Marshal has likewise transmitted the folio ,ving information, issued by him to the army : " Head-Quarters, Church-village of Lckschewka, October 12. " The army remained, for' more than a week, dear tothe village of Tapitino„ on ,the right bank of the Nara ; and by being in perfect ,quiet, de rives, from thence, fresh strength. The rcgi lnents are made complete by the troops arriving from different Governments, and which are-formed • by 'the General of infantry, Prince Lobanow Itos rowSkji. The recruits, who are burning with ar dour to engage the enemy, arc exercised in the Our cavalry horses having plenty of fo rage and good water to drink, have recovered in a remarkable mannto . The supply of provisions is - so well regulated, that the army does not stiffer the least want, -and the i „;reat roads leading to the army are: covered with transports, wi.ich come from all the most fruitful Governments , in tio, vi cinity of which the army is stationed. and soldiers who have recovered their health are daily johing it. The siCk and those wounded in the field of honour, being in the middle of Russia, among their relations and fel:ow-citizens, receive every support and attention, whiCh can only 'be expected from mothers and wives, from brothers and children. • " Tlie force of the enemy being thrown into disorder, does not permit him to make any attempt against us. By the distance from his horde's, he is deprived of all sources of assistance ; lis'sup pli, with provisions becomes mote difficult from hour to hour, and the prisoners unanimously re late, that horse-flesh is used for food in their army ; notwithstanding that they have still more flesh than bread'. But the horses of the ene my's artillery and those of their cavalry suffer most. The greater 'part of the latter 'have been destroyed in the several engagements; especially in that so glorious to the Russian arms on the -7111 of September, and the rest of the cavalry re giments suffer the : greatest want of forage, the enemy's army being_ surrounded by our parties, Which cut off every communication with them: The enemy is so hemmed in with regard to the proc:riog of forage, that he cannot send his foragers out, - unless they are protected by Litrong Convoys, but which areuevertheless overpowered by our parties. Strong detachments from our army are on the roads of Moshaisk, Peters burgh, Kolomna and -Serpnehow ; -and seldom a day passes in . which 300 men and upwards are not brought in prisoners. Even the pea isantry of the villages situated near the theatre of of war, 'cause exceeding great damage to the ,enemy. " The Russians, who have in all ages distin guished themselves above all other nations by their love andattachment to the throne of their MO ne:'chs, .now likewise etnttlate each other with in describable energy in the destruction of the ene- YIV,: who .has violated the repose of their native soil. The peasants, fired with love of their birth places, form armaments among themselves. "-It occurs tnat several neighbouring -villages keep guards on high places, and on church steeples, from - Whence they beat and ring the alarm on sight of the; enemy. On this signal, the -peasants assemble, fall with desperation on the enemy, and %yin not quit the field of battle till they have obtained a complete victory. Ihey cut down the enemy in great numbers, and those ,whom they take prisoners they send to the army. Daily they come to head-quarters, and entreat e n , icstiv for - fire arms and ear,' tridges for their defence against the enemy,-- . - 1 The requests of these tv6rthy peasants, these true sons of their country are satisfied as much as possible, and they .are supplied with mus kets, pistols, and powder. In several . villages they, join themselves by oath for their mutual defence ;- and that in such IL manner, that a severe .punish - rnent is inflicted in every case, wherein any one shall behavelike a cowa r d,' or: wlierain he, leaves another in danger. The power of {god, who: pro- tects the just, and punishes the guilty, has now di-, rected its vengeance against our enemies. " We have this moment received the of the Spaniards - and English having defeated the. French, and taken possession of Madrid ; and thus will our enemies everywhere meet with defeat. They have come to , the extreme , parts of Eurdpc and having penetrated thrpugh the borders of Russia, will.probably find their graves in the bo som of our native country." REPORT PROM FIELD MARSHAL PRINCE KUTUSOW., CONTAINING THE CONTINUATION OF TH.EJOUR NAL OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE WAR, FROM • THE 13TH TO THE 15TH OF OCTODER. . . " The Civil Govern or o f. Ni s h egoro d informs me, that the following regiments which have ar rived, namely, the sth regiment of Uralian Cos sacks, and the 3(l:and 4th regiments of Baschkirs, have marched out . of that town to join the corps of Lieut. General Count Wittgenstein, according to orders previously .received to that effect. " General Miloradowitsch reports, that the enemy's advanced posts still remain in the same place, and that the Cossacks, who harass them in the night,' have obliged them to strengthen their chaiit. 6,4)\" u Major.Oencral Dorochow stags, by tray of completion of last report of the 14th of Oc tober, that at Wereia, not 352, but 377 privates, and 15 officers, were made prisoners, and sent to Kaloaga.; and that the Colonel who had con striicted the entrenchmentS at Wereja, two officers of engineers, and above- 300 men were found« killed. The baked bread, the meal for which had been taken trom the surrounding villages,was dis tributed among the troops, and the meal among the peasants and inhabitants. The palisades and entrenchments were destroyed by the 1000 men. collected by the Priest of the Cathedral-church of St. John Shobejew. The soldiers found a good booty in money. " On the 14th the army remained in the same position it had hitherto occupied. " Major-General Prince Urusso reports, that he had arrived in Tula with five regiments, and halted there till farther orders. " Colonel Prince Kudaschew sent off parties from the Serpuchow road to the Kalouga road, one of which was ordered to proceed to Tschiri kowo, ,and the other - to Krasnaga Pochra. The latter party, which learned that the enemy. was endeavouring to surround them on the left, towards Woronow, returned back. The ChoronAii Bas saw met with a part of the enemy's baggage behind Tschirikowo, attacked it with 50 Cossacks, took 20 prisoners and two calecbes, and three other carriages: A party,, which had been 'sent off to . the town of Podolsk, discovered that the enemy's infantry ‘vas there with two pieces of artillery. Colonel Prince Rudaschew, who was in commu nication with Colonel Jefresnow,learned from him that the enemy was in considerable strength in the vilhges of Jama and Nikouowa, on which, he proceeded to Lopxna. , " In the 2d report, received ,on the same day, Colonel Prince Kudaschew states, that a party sent out by binr, met- with a party of the enemy's cuirassiers forag*ig in the •:iit,fge of WassiiiewS koje. They immediately attacked and ,drove them into the,village of Petrowskaje, where they made a shevs , of defendiug themselves, but the Essaul Amain fell upon them, took 27 'cuirassiers, killed 1 - 0, and the rest saved-themselves by flight. " On the 15th Admiral Tschitthagoff states, that ' our troops freed the Gth , ernment of VOl hpia from , *e enemy, who continually retired and were puts On the r<,- , fl were every where found broken casio stove in, &c. all which shewed the pnnlipitation with which the enemy retreated. iii the course of this retreat we made prisoners five officers, and 333 subalterns and privates. "General Tormassow reports, that the enemy had retreated to Brest-Litowsk, with the greatest precipitancy ; his rear-guard was come up with by.,,our light cavalry on this occasion the ene my' lost in killed about 2000, and in prisoners about 500 men. The corps of Schwartzenberg was pressed in its retreat, that it had not time Yo'form a junction with the detachMents of Gen. Siegenthal arid Mohr, which are now cut off by our advanced guards, and not suffered to join the main body. " The Captain of the Guards, Seflawen, re ports, that he, with his detachment, at the dii- iance of four wersts from the village of Bago dodskoji, fell in with the enemy's infantry, of whom he took 15 prisoners, and killed a number on the spot. Besides these prisonees which hive to-day been sent to head-quarters, die advanced guard has also sent in to-day 37 privates and one officer ; and Colonel Prince Kudaschew 26 men." REPORT OF ADJUTANT-GENERAL BARON WINZEN- GERODE, DATED FROM THE VILLAGE TSCHASBH NIXOWO, OCT. 20. " After my report of October 17, movements of the advanced posts of the enemy on the Dmi trow and Petersburgh roads, which indicated an intention to retreat, were observed by my ad vanced party stationed on those roads ; and the parties which have continually observed the de tachments of the enemy, have to-day informed me that he has left the Dmitrow and Petersburgh roads, and retired to Moscow. " In consequence of this, I ordered the detach ment of Major General ilowaiskji to go to Mos cow to obtain information of the enemy, and ad vanced 'myself with the remainder of the detach ments entrusted to my command., to the village of Tschaschuikowo: " A party of the detachment of Major-General Ilowaiskja, (120 sent to discover the .enemy, finding no person at the Twer barrier, entered the town, and made some prisoners ; but meeting with the infantry, were obliged to retreat out of the town, and ,1500 of the enemy's ea\ :tlry from four different regiments were fA cut after them.—;- The , detachment of Major-General . Ilowaiskji ar 7 riving.at the sane time before the town, attacked them. I was myself' 'an eye -witness .to this en gagement • of cavlty, and . Cannot sufficiently praie' the ability and bravery of Major General waiskja (12); and th , . regiment entrusted, to his command ; for, not\yithstanding the superior !Into of the, enemy he conducted. the men so bravely, that taking the enemy on the flank, 'he threW them info the g:Tatest confusion, put tb em to. , flight, and pursued them quite to the city, killing 50 omen, among whom were some'officers, and making 52 prisoners. The enemy who bad rushed into the town., halted at the harriers, when some infantry came to his aid, and he retreated, Ander the protection of some cannon-shot fired, from the town-prison, in which he had placed garrison.. " On the Jaroslaw road, the senior of the troops, Pebedno, who came to me during the ac tion, informed me that he, with the regiment under his cot:inland, and a detachMent po3ted on the \Vladimir road, advanced quite to Moscow ; and that his parties, in like manner, entered the city, and made many prisoners ; but, as I have no circumstantial accounts, I cannot state the preciie number. ' . . " To-day, early in the morning, prisoners were brougiA in to me on all sides, and according to my reckoning, from the 17th to this day, 578 men were sent off to Twer. The loss on our part, from the same day, amounts to. 12 Cossacks kill ed, 2 Officers wounded, in the late action ; and in the several engagements, 33 privates. My ad vanced guards on the Petersburgh road are at pre sent within two wersts of Moscow; likewise on the other roads under my care,, between which chain is formed. In.consegnente .of reports, .having reached me of the enemy's corps having left the town of Swenigorod, and_ the cloister in its vicinity, I wrote to the Commander of the Woskressenski detachment, Major riglen, to take. possession oY it. I have sent strong parties -out to clear the Moshaisk road, and intend giving directions-to all the detachments in the viciray of this road to ap proach to , it.. With regard to Moscow, lam in clined toabelieve either that the enemy, has gone against our grand army on the Kalouga road, or intend to retire on Smolensko; but the reports of the prisoners will - not admit of my forming any certain judgment. It is known to me, that a strong garrison has remained behind in Moscow, and that the rest of their troops marched out of Moscow yesterday, The enemy sends oil the sick and wounded on the road to Mostw.isk. The Kremlin, the Ostroff;, and some other places are fortified by them, and have separate garrisons. " After my return hither, 1 received a report from Lieutenant Colonel Tschimosubow. who is stationed with the regiment under his command, on the Moshaisk road, between the towns of GshatskHand %Vasma, in which he informs of his having taken a Courier with. papers of very great consequence, ard which I shall have the happi ness of laying before your Imperial Majesty, to gether with the report of Lieutenant-Colonel Tschimosubdw." REPORT FROM COLONEL TSCHIMOSEIBOW TO GE NERAL WINZII , :GERODE, 02 THE 18Th OCTOBER, FROM THE VILLAGE OT CHOLTN. " Having arrived' with the regiment under My command near to the village of Teplueha, ,n the great Moscow road, - where French posts are esta blished, .I was so fortu na t e as t o ta k e an enemy's postiliOn who had left this - village previous to my arrival. All the papers found on him 1 herewith transmit. to your Excellency,- as well as an of;cer of the French troops whO was taken on the great road. I then groceeded . on the same road, direct on-Zarewa Saimischtscha, and on my march took one.Oliicer and 3S privates prisoners, whoMI sent to the Commissary at Sytschewsk, in 'order to be forwarded to Twer. " I could not get to the aforesaid Zarewa. Sai mischtscha; by reason of my falling in with a nu memo body of infantry, who were accompanying the baggage waggons, apart of whom 1 heat off; and turned back again. This night I shall pass at the village of Cholin, fifteen worsts frdm the great high road. Of this I have to inform your Excel lency, as likewise that the Marshal of the Nobi lity of the towns of Sytschewki, and the Land Commissary at that place, have rendered me every assistance in this undertaking." REPORT FROM FIELD-MARSHAL KIYTUSOW, DATED AT THE VILLAGE OF LETASCHEFKA, OCT. 19. As he had received intelligence that t4e corps of Murat, of-50,000 men, was on the river Tsher nishna, at a sufficient distance from the other forces of the enemy, to enable him to act agaiiyst the said corps—our army advanced from' Taru shina to the Nara in several columns, which 'were followed by our right wing on the forowing night. All these troopa, crossed .the Nara,. under the 'command of General Bennigsen, whilst the remainder. of our, army followed his movcarents by the main road. Before day-break these troops had reached the appointed place., together with the 2d, 3d, and 4th corps - of infantry ; they passed, in the same order, through a forest, from which they rushed upon the enemy. The Cos sacks, under the command of Count CHof Deni sof, who had almost turned th' enemy's left wing, and were reinforced by several cops of - cavalry, under General Muller, with the 2d, 3d, an, - ; 4th corps of infantry, fell upon the unguarded ene:ny with such impetuosity, that the later could not maintain his position for any length of time, but very soon betook himself to flight ; our light troops pursued him with artillery, heavy cavalry, and infantry, as far as the borough of Woronow. The enemy's loss, on that day,. was 1000 pri soners, an'd about 2500 killed, a standard of ho nour belonging to .a regiment of cuirassiers, and - 38 pieces of cannon, 40 ammunition waggons, and the whole baggage of the enemy, including that of the King of Naples, taken. Our loss of only 300 men enhanced by , that of the brave Lieutenant l General Bagawut, who fell at the be ginning of the battle. General Bennigsen also received a slight wound from :e shot, which, how ever, did not prevent him from continuing in the . command, even until the p ursu it. At tkis moment, we receive intelligence that a regiment of CossackS has taken 500 prisoners, with General Daru. Kutusow also writes, with his own hand, that this victory was distinguished by the steadiness and regidarity of our troops.— Those Who have witnessed it Compare it to a well directed manoeuvre on the parade. REPORT: PROM MAJOR-GEN 6RAL ILOWAISKA (4TH), DATED MOSCOW, OCT. 22. On this .day General aron Winzingerode gave orders to his van, tinder llowaiska, to advance from Nikolsk upon MoSeOw. The whole (:orps followed, under the command of Major-tiL‘nerat Benkendorif. , Baron Win - zingerodeFattacked the enemy's out posts in the city with great impetuosity, and com pelled them to retreat ; but in pursuing the ene my to the Kremlin; Gen. Winzingerode separated from his corps, and hastened forward, to persuade 'the hostile Commander to cease a useless firing, which could not hinder us from taking the town. .This temerity was the cause that this brave and esteemed General, together With the Captain of cavalry L Narishkin, - were suddenly seized' by a detachment of the enemy, which suffered them to come quite near, without paying any 'attention to the white,handkerchiefs which they waved as flags of trpce, and thus they were taken prisoners. Hereupon llowaiska pursued the dispositions which the General had previously di rec t e d ; t oo k the kremlin, and the whole City, in which the enemy left his hospitals and a great quantity of ammunition. The election of Mr. BIRD, of Bristol, as an As sociate of the Royal Academy, is another proof that ,the conductors of that Institution are in fluenced by merit, not party, as this Artist, in scenes of a humorous cast in familiar life, deserv edly holds a high rank in his profession. CAMER'DGE, Nov. 18. . Petitions to Parliatneut against the Catlio C,3aints were this day vot:NI iu the Senate, v. - ilen 1i at4nberB were— For the Petitions Against thein Majority against the Catholic Claims 29 Near 30 young Lawyers: came down from Lm ffon to vote against the Petitions and the num bers of neighbouring Clergymen n d others, Av,„'-o came in on the different sides, were about Nun', so that the votes of the resic;ents were two to one in favour of the Petitions. When this question was voted some time ago, the votes were Sato 38, or ai)out three to two ; hence it appears that the strength of opinion in the University of Cambridge, egaint the Catholic Claims, has increased since this qnestion WAS li.?.:t considered. Lord Ilardwicke voted in the minority, so did the fc.n. T. Erskine, Hon. G. Lambe, Hvu. J. Primrose, E.nd Dr. Maltby. here was no cession DUBLIN, Nov. 11. Softie time ago, a circumstance took place which made considerable noise in this city. A woMan went into a grocer's -shop, and having purchased some tea, &c. tendered a 100/. note for payment ; the man, surprised at such a c sum, said he could not change that note, but if she had another he would.' She then produced another note for 1001. then another, and so on to seven- notes for 1001. each. The man then, and aneighbour, questioned her strictly and threatened her. She- then con fessed that she had-stolen them from a Gentleman who visited her, and more of the same kind. The man and his friend detained the 7001. and advised her to runaway; but she conceiving they meant to appropriate the money to their own. use, went to the Chief Magistrate, and disclosed the circum stance, delivering up the remainder of the proper, ty, which amounted in all to 10001. in 1001. notes On Messrs. Ball, Plunket, and Moyne, bankers. The grocer, his friend, and the woman were then all confined, and the Magistrates published the circum stance, and called upon the- - owner to come and claim his property at their office; but no one ap peared. The singularity of the circumstance oc-• casioned a variety of conjectures ; some thought the owner must be, at least, the yoang heir of a dukedom—others, that he was some character high in the church, and ashamed to come for ward. In the mean time, the Magistrates were obliged to re:ease toe woman, who expreyed a strong desire to restore the property, when she found it was to such amount, hoping •he would not prosecute, tut prof: ably give her her some re ward. 01 course many conjectures were afloat, and numbers believed that the woman must have murdered the person from whom she had , taken the property. Time passed away, and the circumstance was beginning to he forgot, • wilen a young man, clerk to Ball, Plunket, and and Co. bankers, accidentally entered the bar room of a public house; the woman, who happened to be there at the same time, immediately cried out "that is the person from whom I took the notes." He was immediately detained by the people present, and untiCe sent to the .Magistrates, and to the bankers; but before they arrived he found means to escape. • An inyestigation took place at the Bank, and it was found that he had taken, from time to time; n tes to the amount of 10,0001. A reward was ctiered, and he was taken, just ready to c i uit the kingdom. In one of his hoots were concealed 7,5001. in notes, and his securities are answerable for 2,50i)1. which makes up the sum of which he defrauded the bank. Ile is now lodg ed in Kilmamhata jail, to iibide his trial. Sunbury (Pa.), Sept. 4. A NEW CASE.—On Sunday last a man by the name of Walton, from Luzerne.County, entered the court-house of this town, took a seat at the council table, produced shaving apparatus, and was about commencing the operation of shaving his beard (which had not been taken off for upwards of three years, and was nearly a foot in length.) His strange conduct and appearance attracted the attention of the Court - and every person present The Court, to prevent interruption, ordered the man to be taken away. He resisted, and was at length indulged by the Court. He said he had been commanded by his" Maker to do it on that very day, in presence of the Court, and with same razor which he produced. Warm water was provided, and he soon disencumbered himself of his heard—put up his shaving utensils, thanked;the Court for their indulgence, and walked off, seem ingly pleased.—(New York Paver) SMITHFIELD MARKET, Nov. 20 This day's Market was not well supplied with the different kiwis of cattle :-2-Beef is cheaper ; Mutton is dearer ;.
