feat of the carp of Marshal Victor, iroin'Whorit the troops of your Majesty took four cannon, two standards, 67 stair and other Oilicers 'and 3000 prisoners, independently of a considerable number in killed and wiindedi, 'After this victory there 'surrendered,. the General of DivisiOtt_.Par thcnaut, the General of Brigade, Biiier, the Chief of the Stair D'Elert;• Generals Canins and Blamont ; fire Colonels, 15 Lientenanl.:ColO: nels, 224 Officers, and 7800 privates ; amongst these were twp ,whole regiments of cavalry, fully, mounted, the one a Sax - on regiment, and c,ne of Berg. I afterwards resolved on attacking Napo leon himself, which I did not fall to perform oct the same clay. The enemy approached the passage of the Be rezina in great force, and stopped there to . defend it.with the greatest' obstinacy, in order to save his artillery and baggage; without being disconcert ed by his great efforts, I drove hiM back' the dis tance of three versts. The-engagement lasted the day. To-day I , conalielled him to cross t 1 river near Stoudenzie, xvhere, after having passed it, he burned the bridge; but having received pontoons from Admiral Tchichagoff, I am at this moment occupied in getting them "thrown on the I shall pass it immediately, and; shall act in conjunction with . hiin and General Plat Off— . we took from the enemy one field-piece, and made 1500 prisoners. To-day we took 'l2 pieces of cannon, and a c ons id era bl e number of them be cast himself into the river. .1 have alsb taken a number of officers and men ; others are continually arriving, .so that I have .nest as yet been able to take any account of them ; they bring in, besides, so many carriages, belonging to Buonaparte as well as to private individuals, that the distance of half a verst is covered ‘vitli them, so - as not to allow persons to pass either on fiiot or on horseback. I have been obliged, therefore, to dispatch three companies of militia to clear a pas sage only for the troops... Upon these carriages, most of them lately the property of Moscow•fami lies, was found, besides a great booty for the troops; 'a quantity of church plate and other ef- • fects, which the enemy had stolen at Moscovir.— We are 'occupied in collecting it all together, in order to send it to the Governor-Gcneral of Mos cow. 'ln reporting this most humbly to your Im perial Majesty, 1 lay at the same time at your feet the standards which I have taken from' the enemy. We. have lost, during these days, above three thousand men. river, Report of Admiral Tehichagol, on the Road of Os tacker°, an.the.29th of November. , Seeing the possibility of communicating' di ' teetly with St. Petersburgh, I profit of it, to make known to your Majesty all that has happened since my last report. The following day after my arrival at Minsk, I reinforced my advanced guard, • end ordered General Lambert to go, on the side of 'Borisov. On-the 21st of November he attacked at' the break of day the redoubts occupied by the .-.fear guard of General Dombrowsky, who had arrived in great haste from Beresina to take pas se,s:on of it. The resistance was very great ; they fo.ught _a long time, and - with - Wry. Your Majesty possesses in -Count Lambert an active, courageous, and able General, capable of sur- Mounting every difficulty, who having perceived the importance of this post, in which the enemy had collected all their force to maintain them selves„ decided to take. it, and completely suc ceeded. The enemy lost - two thousand men in killed, and we have made as many - priSojlers. The remains of, the cords_ of Dombrowsky have. been pursued and dispersed. In' the mean time, whilst my advanced guard was, .goilng from 'Minsk to Borisov, General Ichaplitz wai, sent to Lembin to - observe the passage of the Beresina, and Colonel Loukowkiu to take posses sioa 'of every thing that • the - enemy had 'been obliged, to abandon. SoMe detachments of Dom browsky had really crossed that river; Colonel Loukowkin attacked them, and took from them 'a Colonel, nurny Officers, three hundred soldiers, t.nd one colour. The - passage of the - river near BOHSOW had been judged so'important, that tlie enemy turned to wara it all his attention. In consequence, On tlinot was detached •to reinforce Dombrowsky, but the tete du pont established on this side, :ren dered fruitless all thEir. endeavours. The enemy, determined to force his'passage. made demonstrations upon many points, 'and he succ. eded at last in finding a very strong position, at thirteen versts from, Borisow, where he placed a battery of thirty pieces of cannon, and having. on its 'flanks marshes and heights.- He effected the passage of the river under the protection of , his fr.u.teries, so as to render it impoisible for us: to prevent it, particularly as ttiO river, at the place where he effected his passage, was very liar- . row, so that the infantry crossed it on horseback. 9 4 the 21-th and 28th we he a rd , a c a nnona d e , first on the right. and' then on the left. The Counts 'Wittgenstein and Platoff approached. Communications were established between us. Oo the 28th I attacked the enemy hi front, at the Same - time that Wittgenstein' found himself alrea dy engaged with the troops which defended the passage of the river on the opposite side. Some pris.mers informed us'that Napoleon was in per fitul at this battle, - With all his force, which amounted to about 70,000 men. The cw•ps of Oad not and Vict'pr, That , forniectpart of.it, were composed of soldiers who had not suffered much, as they were stiliprOvided both with:artillery and cavalry. The guard of Napoleon is likewise in tolerable condition. The enemy was driven back -to the distance of four or. five versts; with the IOSs of one cannon, many ,officers, some hurgliedS of priso ners, and a considerable number of killed.

W_ by W. • wioi the wind from the southward, iulatitude 29 deg. N. and lop. 29 deg. - 30 min. W. in the ex ecution of their Lordships orders, a sail was seen on the lee beam, which I immediately stood for, and made her out to be a large frigate muler Ame rican colours at nine o'clock 7. closed with her,. and she commenced the action, which was rettnn ed, but from the enemy's keeping two points off the wind I was not enabled to get as close to her as I could have wishett After an hour's action the edetny baCked -and came to the wind, and 'I was then enabled to bring her to close battle; in,this situation I. soon found the enemy's force too su perior to expect success, ttuleis some very foi tu nate chance occurred in our favour, and with this hope -I continued the battle to t tro litit4rs and ten minutes, when having the mizen-mast shot away by the board, top-masts shot away by the. caps, Main-yard shot in pieeelower masts badly wound ed, lower rigging all cut to pieces, a small propor tion only of the foresail left to the fore-yard, all the-guns on the quarter-deck and forecastle dis abled but two, and filled with wreck, two also on the main-d-tick 'disabled, and several shot between wind and water, a very great proportion of the crew killed and wounded, and the enemy comparatively in good order, who had now shot a-head and was about to place himself in a raking position, without our being able to return the fire, being a perfect wreck, and untwaiageable log; I deemed it pro- - dent, though a painful -extremity, to surrender his Majesty's ship, nor was this dreadful alterna tive resorted to till every Lope of success was-re int)ved, even beyond the reach of-chance, nor till, I trust,.their.,Lordships will be aware every effort had been made against the enemy by myself, my brave otbcers and men, nor should 'she have been surrendered - whilst a man lived on board, had she been manageable. 1 am sorry to say Our losS is very severe , 1 find by this day's muster thirty-six killed, three of whom lingered a short time after the battle, thirty-six severely wounded, many of whom cannot recover, and thirty-two slightly wounded, Who may all do well;—total, one hundred and four. _,,The frilly noble - and animating conduct of my ()Tem, and (he steady bravery of my crew, to the last moment of the battle, must ever render them clear to their country. My first lieutenant, David Hope, was severely wounded in the head ; towards the close of the bat tle, and taken below ; but was soon again on deck, displaying that greatness of Mind and exertion,. IVhicb, though it may be equalled, :can never=be excelled ; the third lieutenant, John Bulford s was Also wounded, but not obliged to. quit his guar , tern ; second lieutenant. Samuel Mottley, and he deserve my highest acknowledgments. The cool and steady conduct of • Kr. Walker, the, master, was very great during the battle, at 4 also that of Lieutenants Wilson and Magill of the marines. On being taken on board, the enemy's ship,-I ceased to wonder at the result of the battle. The United States is built with the, scantling of a 74 gun ship, mounting thirty long 24-pounders (Eng lish ship guns) on ,bcr main deck, and twenty two forty-twn pounders carronades, with two long twenty-four pounders on her quarter deck and forecastle, .howitzer guns in her tops, and a travelling carronade on her upper deck, with a Coln,- ploinent of four hundred and seventr-eight picked men. The enemy has suffered much in masts, rigglng, and . hull above and below wateri- her 'loss •iai kill ed and wounded I aw notaware of, but I know a lieutenant and six nien have been - thro\Vn over board.
