BATTLE efF zoitomNo. STEIN OFFICIAL REPORT FROST GENERAL BARCLAY'DE TOLLI, DATED lIMOLZE, 9th (21ST AUG. 1812.. _ (Continued from our Paper of Yesterday.) , • General PLATow •detaelred part of his light troops, and formed a chain of detachments frOni Smolensk to Pnvilschiji, in such a Manner that we could approach the high road to Moscow; and scarcely had the 2d corps pasSed the village of Oedengnowo, where the road divides, one of which leads to Moscow, and the ( - other to Bricli chens, to which the Ist column marched, when the enemy drove back the rear guard, which was on the high Moscow road and whilst they were furiously advancing to take possession of those points which the rear guard of Major-Gen. Korf's division bad to-pass. . To-prevent any danger to this General's detachment, which covered the re treat of the army on the main road,- and was still at six wersts distance from the-2d corps, I order/. ect Major-General Prince Wirteinburg-. to defend -this post with - some divisions of the 4th division, and the necessary quantity of artillery,.till Major- General Korf should arrive with his detachment. Notwithstanding the immense superiority of the enemy, the Prince kept possession of this post till. Major-General Korf, 'with his detachment, him, and then protected our retre - et. The enemy - , who did not succeed in this opera tion, now begaii to force Major-General Kor kow's corps, which was posted along the great toad to Moscow, arul to pass troops from the left to the right of the Dnieper, above his position, to become masters of the points which lead to the great road, before the arrival of the . second corps. The 3d and 4th corps were already drawn up in order of battle at this place"; but, in order to -de tain. the enemy, the advanced guard, under -Ma jor-General Tulsnkow, was sent against them.-- lie was was already four wersts from the high road, - on which . the 2d division of cavalry and Major-Ge neral Korf's detachment , must pass. Not long after, Major-General Tulscaow was much press ed by the enemy, and was supported by the 3d and 4th diviSions of cavalry, in order to assist in repelling the furious attacks of the enemy. At six p. in. the enemy attacked Major-General Tulchkow with their whole force, consisting ot Davoust, Ney, a part of Viceroy of Italy, and with the whole of the 'cavalry of the King of Naples' corps, endeavouring, _by every possible exertion, to drive him from his position. In the mean time, Major-General Korf's detachment, and the 2d corps, arrived on the high -road, from whence I also sent apart of the troops to support General Tulschkow. This action, which continued from 1 p. m. till 10 at night, was hot and bloody : your Majesty's tjoops acted most gallantly ; and, notwithstand ing theimmenie superiority of the enemy , ke p t possession of this, to us, important point. - Our loss on this occasion - is very considerable, but that of the enemy greatly exceeds it. We bad cavalry attached to our left flank, which, notwith standing the superiority of the enemy's cavalry, - repulsed several desperate charges. At one o'clock of the morning of the Bth (20th) the army put itself in motion, taking the direction of Solojewo, whence 'yesterday a part of the troops had passed the Dniester, and the remainder to-day. The whole army will take a position on the road half - way to Dogorobush, where the the 2d army yesterday arrived. The greater part of-the irre t.psiar troops are on the right bank of the Dnieper, and k e ep,up the communication with the detach ment of Adjutant-General Baron Winzingderocle, who has beers ordered to take post at Dacha . weschteschino. In these different actions we have taken 500 officers and soldiers prisoners, and . the irregular troops have; during-the same time, made 800 pri soners. It is said by . a celebrated Wr•ter, " That the Ministers of a Country should look into futurity," The present Government stem ,possessed of this • happy girt ; or how can we account for the Lords 'of the Treasury, in June last, so juaiciously ap pointing an event, to coincide with the General Election, this Month, not only for the purpose of enriching the Electors, but to enable the Candi dates to py their Expellees by some of the nu inerous Prizes of £20,000, X 3,000, &c. &c. in the present Lottery, to be all drawn Tuesday, the 20th Instant ? REPORT OF LIErT.-GE:::ERAL COUNT WITTGEN DATED SOI:OLITSELITSCHAy AUG. 22. (SEPT. 3.) " After my Latt report of the 16th . of August, nothing tools place with the enemy, He is still in the same entrenchments near Polotsk, and suffer dread - fayby hunger and loss of men, in consequence htty Nen desert from him every day." The Com/flan:la' lri Chief of all the Armies, Prince Koutousow.,„nrites as follows, from head quarters, near iThe village Brodino, August' 23; (Sept. 4) : „••: - " The position that I had chosen in the vilnge of - Borodino, twelve wersts in advance of 111. a-; shaisk, is one of the best to be found in the plain country; the weak points of this"position, which are on the left flank, I shall entleavoue to mend by . art ; it were to be wished tlfate-the en emy would attack Us'in this position„ ip-which case 1 should have great hopes of yietofy. But should he, when he finds mrpositio4n-Strong.,*,mannottivre on the roads leading to Moscow', I shalhuti myself in march, and take a position behind ,at-lVldshaisk, where all the roads ineet • " With respect to the enerny,.,it is to be remark ed, that for sou - le:days:be has been very cautious ; and when he moves fortVard, he seems to do it as it . were in fear, Yesterday Col. Prince Kudaschew , - whom I had sent with 200 Cossacks, obliged the whole cavalry of the corps of Marshaillavoust, and that of the King of Naples, to remain sitting on their horses for some.hours. • "Yesterday the enemy did not advance one step. To-day the advanced posts of our Cossacks are iliitant from me .bout 30 wersts, and the side roads are very carefully observed. " The 'corps of Gen. MilOradowitsch has joined the army under my command,..'. "To-morrow the MoskoW:ained force will arrive from Moshaisk. Lieut. - Gen. Kouownizyn now commands the rear guard. Nothing of import= ance has happened to this corps, and the enemy is held in great respect towards us. . Yesterday softie officers and 60 men were made prisoners. /*- cording to the report of the, prisoners, the sth bat talion of the French regimeas are arrived; these are the best troops lie e x pects to receive." The Petersburgh Gazette, of the 27th August, contains the Report, of 'General Essen , wh ich states that he attacked i the Prussians before and took 14 Officers, four Surgeons, one CoM missary, and 650 prisoners. He estimates their loss at 1500 men, his own loss he states at 300 killed and wounded. He made his attack on the oth of August. CIRCUIT 'INTELLIGENCE. AYR, OCT. 1.--The Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened here on S.'aturday, the 26th ult. by the Hon . Lord Meadowbank. Two appeals from the Sheriff were heard, and the sentence in both instance affirmed. His Lord on dismissing the Jury, congratulated them an the absence of criminal trials at this assize, and, in an energetic address, adverted - to the ex alted rank which Great B ritain held in the scale of nations: Notwithstanding a war of twenty yaars continuance, the prosperity of this country had increased by rapid progression. Commerce and manufactures, atts and sciences, flourished here in an eminent degree, in spite of the convul sions which shook the rest of the world.—llis Lordship also took a view of the military charac ter of this nation, and the important consequences that bad resulted; and were likely to result, from the Victories achieved by an Edward and a Henry, a Marlborough and a Wellington, Such was the respect, the awe,. the - dread, with 'which the na tions of the Continent regarded Great Britain, after witnessing the prowess of her warriors in former times, that for ages afterwards they were deterred from attempting to invade or . attack an island which they deemed impregnable, and such will be the feeling of Europe for ages to come, in consequence of theownperiority manifested, at this moment, by our countrymen on land as well as by sea. If, with an inferior force, and in a foreign land, we are capable. of beating those troops that have been arrogantly styled invincible, what will we not be able to perform on the shores of our native and well beloved island. From this the Court proce eded to Dumfries. *;* STIRLING, OCT. 3.--The Circuit Court of Jus ticiary was opened here yesterday by the Right Hon. Lord Armadale, and there being no business at this place, the Court will proceed to Glasgow . On Monday. A. few days ago, When a large fleet of merchant ships was collecting in Loch Ryan Bay, to be escorted by one of his Mlljesfy's frigates to• Am erica, some of the officers and part of the . crew went up to Stranraer to see the fair, when the sailors there and their wives, taking the alarm from the idea that the men-of-wars nt;:n were go ing to impress seamen for the service, began to insult and abuse them, upon which an action cow-, menced betwixt the parties, and before a right understanding took place several were wounded on both sides, but luckily no lives were . lost. • It is a fact not generally known, that the Ame rican Commodore Rodgers is a Scotchman. About twenty years ago, his father' rode with the mail, then carried on horseback, between Montrhsc and Arbroath. The Commodore Was bred a baker in Montrose, but left that business early, and went to sea ; and being soon after preSsed into our navy, he took the first opportunity of deserting, and entering into the AMerican service, where he has gradually risen to the station he now holds. It was on his-desertion from the British navy that he assumed his mother's nanne,.Rodgeri,l Wis on • name being Gray.—(Edinburgh Courant.) A black ewe, the property of Mr. ALEXANDXR DANGAN, in Challochmuir, parish of Glenluce, Wigtonshire, had a lamb in the beginning of Fe ' bruary last, which, when slaughtered at Stran raer, on the Bth of April, weighed S2lb. ; and on the 24th inst. the sante ewe brOUght forth ,two t - black tup lambs, marked with white faces, white feet, and white tails, which, as well as-the dam, are likely to do well.

It i 9 Calculated, that by the. strength of the hoolis , purchases, and the buoyancy of the ships, weight of 35,000 tons might be lifted ; which is more than four times the weight of the wreck. It has been ascertained that there is very little so a -and mud round it.

This Gentleman's good sense 'having directed • hiin to support the Measures of the ever to he lamented Perceval, and,.since his dethise, thelioliticS of the recent Administration, he could not, ha've failed to render himself a most acceptable Member to the landed interest, rank, and dignified Clergy of this highly respectable County. Mr. PcmSouby, whose politics are' of the Grenville cast, goes in as the other'llemiier. • Colonel Longfield is again to be returned for this city. So highly is this gentleman esteemed for the undeviating intergrity of his public and private character, by the really opulent and inde pendent freemen and freeholders, here, that not a doubt exists even in the event of a contest, that he-could. be for a moment shaken-7—a •sure 'proof . how justly they can appreciate the blessings which result from the internal tranquility of their coun try, in opposition to the visionary schemes of dreaming reformers.--No contest taming place; of course Mr. Hutchinson Nvill also, be re-otected. The Hon. Mr. Bernard, a junior branch of the Noble Family of Earl Bandon, and brother of Lord Bernard, Member for the County, will be returned for the town - of Bandon„and will be a new accession to'strcngth to. the cause which his family has uniformly adopted: • Mr. COTTER, we understand, son of Sir James Laurence Cotter, will be returned upon the 'in terest of Mr. Jephson, for the town a Malloi . v. A : violent opposition ,was some time ago threatened in, this quarter, but On the appearance of so . much respectahillty bloated promise shrunk into lank • • perforinance. . We expect a contest for the town of Youghal, Sir John Keane, who has ever supported Govern ment, is to be opposed by Mr. Ponsouby, son of the Earl of BeSborough. Mr. Martin is likely to be returned for Kinsale, without any opposition. • This morning the first division of the Ist Gar- Igor) Battlion, commanded by Lieutenant-Colo nel Alexander, marched from Cclve for Bantry, to relieve the 3d, Garrison, Battalion ; the other two divisions will march this day and Monday. — The 3d Garrison Battalion, Ounnancled by :Lieu tenant7Colonel Needham, arc to remain at.

Fire at Dalkeith.—On Saturday, the 3d instant, about four o'clock in the afternoon; a fire broke in that large tenement, situate in the south-west end of the town, occupied by Mr. Peter Moffat, innkeeper. The houSes being covered with thatch, and, by•anunfortunate coincidence, a strong wes terly gale, tepproaching even to a hurricane, blowing at the time, in less than 15 minutes the fire cOmmuuiCated itself to that extensive range of houses occupied by Mr. Robert Charles, stabler, and others, and in an instant the whole were wrapt in one sheet of inextinguishable flanke.--- The utmost consternation ensued ; and for mac than an hour it was_ feared that the fire would Jix on an adjoining square of considerable magni tude, consisting of some of the finest buildings in the town. .This, however, was happilYprevented. A fire so tremendous, and causing such extensive devastation, has not happened within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. No less than seven fa milies have had nearly their whole property con sumed ; and though some part of it be insured, it is understood - to be very far short of Abe loss sus tained. Th.e.greatest praise is due to those per sons who hive the management of the fire engines of this place, as well as to the officers and pri vates of the Aberdeenshire Juilitia, for the great exertions made to keep the fire under, and to se cure to' the unfortunate sufferers the miserable _re mains of their prOperty. The DUke of Buccleugh and Queensberry, very . mucb to -his o*n honour, exerted himself in a most conspicuous Manner ; but such was the violence of the flames, rendered tenfold more dreadful by the gale, as to set at de fiance every human exertion. We are happy to hear that, though some persons have been miser ably scorched, no lives have been lost. It has not as yet been ascertained from what cause the fire originated.
