On the 4thsand sth-, - the advanced guard of the arrnyof his:Majesty was warmly''engagedswith the enemy's rear-guard; and .drove it from all its positions.. The enemy made a stout resistance on the sth. On the -4th, every one did bis duty, but Count Perigord, Colonel of the Bth regiment of horse chasseurs, distinguished himself in re pulsing successfully several charges of a cavalry much.stronger than his own. On the sth in the evening, .his Majesty Or dered inc to 'attack the redoubt with the cavalry,, the division Compans, and the Polish corps. , " General Compans disposed .his columns for attack, and marched on the town of -, situ ate& at the foot of 'the redoubt, and of the wood at its right. The cavalry supported it ; mas ter of the village and the wood, General COmpans marched against the redoubt, which, was cartied by the bayonet by the 61st reginlent. However, several charges of cavalry took place, and the Russian Cuirassiers were. overpowered by the fire of our infantry and artillery, and by our ca s valry. " The enemy returned so‘the charge with t,wo columns of infantry to retake the redoubt, but he was vigorously received by the division Coin pens, and obliged to withdraw after a long fusil ade. During this time Prince Poniatowski drove the enemy at my right before him, and took pos session of a mountainous position. The combat lasted - till ten in the evening, and we posted our selves. " The result of this day gives his Majesty some prisoners, sever( Pieces . of cannon, and the posi - - tion which he was desirous of occupying. " Every man did his duty. General -Calane and the Marquis of Guilano, my , Aid-de-Camp, were wounded. I shall send to the Staff an ac count of the Offcers and soldiers, who most dis tinguished themseltes; soliciting.fOr them the ad vancement and rewards which they deserve. (Signed) " 3. NAPOLEON." 4 Mojaisk, 9th Seprensber, 1312." lIEFORT OF THE KING O NAPLES TO THE MAJOR- GENZRAL; " In the night between the 6th and 7th, I receiv ed the general dipoitions for the battle, which I ordered to he carried into execution ; and at five o'clock in the morning, the Ist, 2d, and 4th corps de reserve or the oavalry _were brigaded in column at the foot of the redoubt. , The Ist corps of 're -serve, was to support the attack of the Ist corps of the army; the second, that of the 3d corps of the army,; the fourth marched in reserve to the cen tre, and wits, if necessary, to sustain either the one, or the other. His 'Majesty bad placed the 3d corps of reserve at the diSposal of the Viceroy. The signal for attack being given, all was put in motion according to this order. ." The Emperor having received advice of the Prince of Eckmulil having just been wounded, or dered me to go to him, and to take the command of the first corps of the army, in case that Prince :.Mould be found unable. to continue it. I returned to inform his Majesty, that he had answered ine that his wound -vas merely a, contusion, and that be could continue his command. A moment of-' terwards, his Majesty told me to go to the front, and see what was passiry , '' at the redoubts ; twent there at full gallop. At my arrival the light troops were entering the second redoubt,' at which they were repulsed. The Russian cuiras,sicrs charged our light infantry, but they were received with a brisk tire of musketry from our-infantry, and vigorously driven back by the division Bru , -yere. A charge Made by the Wurtembnrgh re giment of Beurman on the Russian infantry, at the same time was attended with. the greatest success ; the Russians who Were marching to the first redoubt being entirely sabred- I then caused . the soldiers to march at quick step to the second redoubt, which was taken at once. The whole Ist corps of cavalry received orders to throw . themselves behind these same redoubts, and the 4th corps likewise received orders to advance ' to . pass the ravine, and to charge the pieces of .ar tillery and the infantry which were in the village, a position whiCh was of the greatest importance to the enemy. General Latour.. Maubourg, at the head- of the Saxon cuirassiers, fell on the enemy, in spite of- the fire of-the artillery and the infantry,' charged them, sabred a. great number, and maintained himself in the position. " Dming this while, General Nansouty, at the head of the Ist division of cuirassiers, under the orders of General St. Gerinain, charged with vi gour all those who were to the right of the two Tedoubts, and swept the plain as far as the ravine of the village. " At this moment his Majesty sent me the Divi sion of General Friant. General Dufour passed the ravine, at the head of the 15th Regiment of Light Infantry, chased ;the enemy successfully, and arrived at the principal heights, which are be- hind the village. Gen. Friant supported this movement with the rest of his division, disposed in brigade' as a reserve ; i then caused Gen. Can laincourt to pass to tho head of the second corps 'of reserve ; scarcely was he, got to the other side of the ravine, 'when I directed him to charge on. his left whatever he might find of the enemy, and endeavour to carry the great redoubt s , which, tak ing us in - flank, did ris vast harm, if he should find a favoura'ile opportunity. This order was exe cuted with equal celerity and courage Caulain court, at the head of the second division of cui rassiers, under the orders of Gen. Nattier, bore down every thing he found before him, and. find ing himself to have passed the great redoubt on the left, he wheeled round on it, and with the sth cuirassiers took it from the enemy. This'brave General died gloriously in the same redoubt, which was . kept until the arrival of the troops under General Girard. Meanwhile the Russians formed several masses of infantry, .composed of the Russian Guards ,and of their reserve. Supported by a numerous cavalry, the - enemy marched to retake the village. I had caused- successively, all the artillery of the cavalry, and that A - Friant's divi!inn*, to be brought for. ward. 4,bput 80 pieces of cannon were formed in battery, to carry into the midst of the enemy's. masses. I caused to keep up a rolling fire, which stlpyed th e e movements of the Russians.— The..Etrperor has been enabled to convince hims : - Sci or the devastation which the arlillery caused the enemy, when lie yesterday Nent,over the field , of battle. . "Theßusshm cuirassiers supported the movement of their infantry, and charged at differeht times the French arLifiery, ca•valry, and itrfailtry, They were constantly repulsed, with the greatest loss,. and the field of e.wa-; covered wit their dea;i. They suffered an enormous loss of horses, iii these, different 'charges. The carabineer brigades, under' Generals Poultre and Chouard, and the 1 1th and regiments of chasseurs, conducted by General Pagpl, as well as St. Germain's ar.d Bruyer's divi sions, particularly distinguished themselves, " It was time to silence all the fire of the enemy's artillery, and carry the last position they held in -advance of the - left of the three corps. .1 ordered Friant's division to March ; during this time I pushed forward a vigorous charge on the front. — Tire enemy were 4)verthrown ; they threw them selyes into the wood; they withdrew their artil lery; all the plain was cleared ; their last position was carried. It was then I had the happiness of meeting his- Majesty. , [Here follows the praises of the different ofli 7 cers who distinguished themselves.] (Signed) " J. NAro4zoN, • " Mojaisk, Sept. 9., REPORT OF THE VICEROY TO THE MAJOR-GENERAL. " According to his Majesty's orders, the four corps set out at five o'clock in the morning of the 3th September, from its camp, in advance ofiLoti sos. After an hour's' march, a briSk fire on: If l right gave me to . understand that the elie4 re= sited the troops who advanced by the great Mos cow road; His Majesty's instructions ordered me to turn the right of the enemy's army. .I,`" incon sequence, took possession of a tillage built upon an eminence, which the Batssians had neglected to occupy. As soon as they perceived we were mas ters of it, they began their retrograde movement. This movement could only be made under the fire of our cannon, laden with grape 7 shot, Which - wok in flank or rc;ar all the corps Which passed within shot. Theenerny falling back upon fresh troops, arrived at their position at Borodino ; winks grefitly added to the 'natural force of the During the afternoon, the 4th corps kept .np a very briSk fire of artillery to faVour, the attack, his Majesty ordered to be inad, on that redoubt, upon which the left of the enemy supported itself. " The 6th was _passed in reconnoissances and preparations. his Majesty placed at my disposi sition Maraud and flirant's - division, and Ge neral Grouchy's corps , of • cavalry, to which the next day I joined General Guyon's light brigade of cavalry. In the evening the troops were chi posed as,follows Morand's division on the right, Girard's behind it, more to the right, and in the rear, of General Grouchy's cavalry, 'Charged to gain the ground proper for it as soon as circumstances would permit. " In the centre and in echellon of Girard's di vision was 'placed Broussier's division, haiing be hind him, in reserve, the royal horse, and loot guards. - " Delzons' division formed the extreme left.— It was supported by the light division of 'cavalry . under the orders of General Ornano. In the night the General of Artillery, Porchern, threw four bridges over the small river of Kologna, whose rugged banks, intersected by a great number' of ravines, separated us from the enemy. " His Majesty's orders were t( take possession of the village of Borodino as soon as I should hear the cannonade well established on my right, and to advance in proportion to our progress in this part. In consequence, on the morning of the 7th, General Delzons caused the village of Boro dino to be attacked by the 10fith. At the very instant in which this brave regiment, formed in column, penetrated into the village, General Plau zonne; who conducted it, was killed by a ball. — The 106th, impelled, by its bravery, rapidly pass , ed the three bridges which the enemy had esta blished upon the_Kaloglia, behind the village, and . advanced towards the eneruy's lines. The Russi ans, persuaded that it was our intention to debonch from this point to separate their right wing from the centre, for several hours fixed all their atten tion on thi' side. Adjutant Commandant Bois , aerolles, whom I have much to praise, had replaced General l'lauzonne : he made excellent disposi tions for the pres'ervation of the village of Boro dino, which, according to the general instructions for the battle, could not be abandoned. " While this 'was passing upon my left I ad vanced General Morand's division, charged with the attack of the grand redoubt which covered the centre of the .enemy's army. It formed the Ist line, deployed, the 2nd-by •columns of battalion. Notwithstanding eighty pieces of artillery, and a violent- fire of . musketry, •this brave division marched out from the ravines in order of battle, and advanced with the greatest coolness upon the rising ground. The 30th regiment of the line at tacked With the Bayonet, and penetrated into the redoubt, but it could not maintain itself in it.— General Bonamy'who marched at its head, was wounded, and taken in the redoubt. For the mo ment our efforts were confined to the preserva tion of the rising ground, five lines of Russian in fantry advanced to retake it, and attacked Gen. Morand's right. I immediately formed Girard's division a little in advance to the right of the first ; the 7th light was placed on the left, and I disposed General Broussiere's division to sup port it. The battle was 'again renewed upon all that line with extreme vigour. The enemy made reite rated efforts to carry the rising ground, but the3r were vain. His Majesty's troops remained im movable ill their positions. " In the hope of causing a useful diversion, to disengage their centre, the enemy decided upon making a grand movement of cavalry by their right, by turning our left. Eight regiments and se veral thousand Cossacks, totally overwhelmed this wing, and the Russian artillery was doubled to cannonade the Village. The brave Artillery • Co load, bemay, was 'killed: General Ornano's light diiision of cavalry, too ,weak to resist - so consi derable forces, retired in order.. General Dlzons' second line, which had coßstantly supported the troops who defended the- village, were rapidly formed in squares. This formation was not com pleted, when the Croats received a'cliarge, which they repulsed by their fire. The enemy's .cavalry, reinforced by fresh. squadrons, charged the 85th, who received it.— The strength of this cavalry rangmented every moment ; they successively renewed their charges upon the squares of the Bth light, and the Croats of the B.4th and 92d, but they were• every where received and rtpalsed' with vigour. The hussars of the Imperial Guard were, in particular, roughly handled ; the enemy gave .up the idea of pene 7 trating our cavalry. , ' " On the centre and right of the troops under my orders, the battle had continued with the same ardour. Returned from the left, Where my presence had been neeessary, I made fresh dispo sitions for the attack of the great redoubt : five battalions of Girard's divisions, which had not yet taken any pact, were placed on the right ; Broussiere%s division in advance and on the left — all this' infantry proceeded at the pas tie chqrge, virithont firing ; at this Moment the Cuirassiers:, who were -upon the right, gave a most brilliants charge, and entered the •redoUbt—the 21st, 17th, 9th, and 33th of the line attacked the redoubt in front and in flank, and seized upon it. It was, still furnished with twenty-one-pieces of cannon. " They formed in, the rear upon several lines,. covered by a ravine. I ordered them to be at tacked ;, my troops crossed the ravine, overthrew the enemy, and established themselves upon the rising ground. The Russians retired. Notwith standing the difficulti of- the ground, General Grouchy executed a 'fine charge, v:ith General (;pastel's division of . cavalry, Aviro.'at this luozuent supported the left of the infantry Gen. Grouchy was slightly wounded. [Here follow ,the ,praises of these who distin- - ting dished themselves.] (S'gned) " ELTGE;sfE NAPOLEON." FOUNDLING UOSPITAL AT 'MOSCOW. This - celebrated Hospital, the Steward of which, as Lord Cathcart states in his recent dispatch, was " the Most eminent Public Functionary found in the city," .by the:Gallic incendiaries, was the 'noblest and most Complete 'institution of the kind in Europe : it was founded by the renowned Em press Catherine,. in 1764 ; an immense pile of , ,building of a quadrangular shape, and calculated:. - to contain and accominodate 8,000 fonndlings.— The utmost privacy and freedom prevailed in this institution ; candies were placed during the night in nicheS in different partS of the building ; in these the infants Were secretlydep.osited and bells rung,tlie • bringers immediately retired, and the childeren were • speedily taken into .the house. It was also at the option of mothers to contem' be•delivered pri vately in the house ; no questions were ever asked, and every proper care and attention was paid to her ; the infant was left, and considered as the child of the State. Those were taken the greatest care of, and at the age of fourteen they had the liberty of chusing .any particular branch of trade, and for this purpose, different species of manufactures were established in,the llQspmtal When they had gone through a certain appren ticeship, or about the age of twenty, they. were allowed the liberty of setting up for themselves, a sum of money was bestowed upon each foundling' for that purpose, and they were permitted \to carry on trade in any part of the Russian Empire. A very considerable privilege in a country Where the peasants are slaves, and cannot 'cave their vi-: loges without the permisson of, their masters. — This admirable and incalculably useful institution was in a great degree supported by voluntary contributions, legacies, &c. to encourage which the •Empress granted to all 'benefactors - some va luable privileges in proportion to the extent of their liberality, and a private merchant, named Dimdorf, expended on this . institution . sums mounting to nearly 200,000/. Ivis remarkable that not the least mention of the imperial Founnling Hospital is made - in any of the French accounts, which we rather imagine is a tearful symptom of its destruction by these ruthless bar barians. A plan is in contemplation for • the greater im provement of the road from, the central parts of the Sussex coast to the metropolis, forming - a junction, of the different lines to avoid hills, and shorten the distance from five to seven miles :- at the same time to connect the cross- roads, and form the military route. Wednesday morning,- S. Poole, a - Mason, of Taunton, having quarrelled with his. wife, who had not then risen from her bed, proceeded to strike her, and on the second blow deprived her of life. A coroner's inquest been held on the body ; when the verdict of the - Jury was, that the deceased expired in consequence of, blows given her by her husband, but not from‘ma/imprepense. He has since been committed to Ilehester , gaol, to take his trial at the next assizes for the county. - Thursday evening, between seven .and eight o'clock, as Mr. Johnson, of Goldenrsquare; was passing through Eagle-street, Red-lion-square, he was stopped and hustled .by a. gang of :rob- bers, who robbed.hhn of his gold. watch, chain, and seals.

FRENCII rPlusolvEr.s.—Oght .French Officers latety broke their parole of honour, and escaped from, Andover.----The following particulars of their escape and detection have trinspired. They went of in. the night, saddle, horses being pro- Vided for them.; six of them rode double horses, preceded Jy two other - horses 'on leach of which was mounted an ofiker, accompanied by two English conductors, who were to receive 6001. to cover all expeaces. They arrived on, the coast near Christchurch, opposite the Needles, on the 2d of October, where there was a smuggler's ves sel from Weymouth, in waiting for them . ' - but the wind was so completely contrary, and it blew such a hurricane at the time, that it Was deemed improper to go on board. They, in consequence; prevailed on a,cottager to take them in, imposing the French Officers on the cottager for Guernsey merchants, who were pursued by the Revenue Of- - fiCas. They remained concealed in the cottage till the sth of October. • At eleven o'clock - that night, they went on board the vessel, , the wind. being fair for the coast. of France ; however, they had been to sea but a very short time, When a • violent storm arose, Which drove them back to same place where they got on board. ).he vessel was not able to put them on shore; some of them were in 'consequence nearly drowned, not being able to swim, anti the sea being up to their necks. At this time it was about three o'clock. It was their intention to haVe returned to the cottage, but on account of the darkness of the morning, and the noise Occasioned by the'storm,. two of the Officers missed the others am: their conduc tors, and could not flu I the cottage. They wan dered about till daylight, and then qniries of peasants.and . others that they . met - with. From their conduct they Were slispected to lie Officers'who had broke their parole of honour, • and they ~..%:ere - • They, behaved very caud;dly and one Or who spoke 1;3 - very -Well,,after very lit:silt! • hesitation, conrei.Fied the ,whop e of their !wor.:eed ings, and said he belicved'ihe other six Were con cealed in - .a 'eottav 31. but he cpmlhl not tell where it was.

Culliford, the principal con , doctor, at Ilchester. lie had been•convicted be, tore of a simila'r offence, and when he was . qi prehended then ierequired four men to secure 'inn. Desperate reiiistance was therefore expected, but Adkins contrived to follow him into a stable, au4 with the.assistance to a man, had handcuffs on him before he kneW he was in custody.
