We captured 1,100 men in the pursuit for fifteen wersts, and aniong them is one General, and 12 officers of the staff. Two thousand were and the field was strewed with the insignia Of Noblesses. General Gari, Cap tain of theaing's Guards, was among the slain, and his s Majesty sent to request his body. _ " The . intrepidity thetroops is beyond all 'praise, I myself received a contusion, whieh Ob liged me to leave the field, but not until the ene my was in flight, but this circumstance renders Me unable from my own personal knowledge to state the seqael.

R Us:lA. NOTICE FP.OM TILE MINL,TE,R,or roucE, 33,BLATIVE TO THE rEENCII 04GANIZATION 01/ MOSCOW It is well known, that the enemy has nominated in Moscow, .ftinetion , lries of his own, under•pre tence- Of re-estahlishing order and .tranquility • among the inhabitants, whilst his soldiers milted all kinds of excesses and plunderings: In order better to succeed, 'he has impw;edupon some of the inhabitants,,, who were weak enough to becomeMem}),ers of his esto'llished societies.— The intercepted papers contain the.names of these people: Go;ernment might justly have . made their names public, and inflicted on .those - wretches a deserved punishment; for their procecding-s t lie -consider , 2d As 'criminal, in implicitly yielding obedience to the foe;, but still, wishing to doubt the authenticity of the documents , pre seated to it, and fearing that its too prompt re sentment might fall on the innocent, it is graci ously,pleased to restrain the exercise of justice in this particular.. Meanwhile, out of a seal care ' for the benefit each and all, it warns every in ! :' not to listen to the promises of the subtle foe, who; insteail'of fulfilling them, desolates and plunders the empire. It would be absurd in any one, who considers Ate lainentable occurrences , that hare hitely •taken' place, to believe that the enemy can wish to promote the welfare of the in vaded people, He Who comes to rob us of our glory and tionour, is surely not desirous of doing us a benefit. He who has despoiled our churches of their holy images, cannot mean to protect the . religion of, our forefathers. What are then his words and protestations ? He who liAetis to them is no true son of. the empire. Finally ; the Government proclaims, that it will afford shelter andrellef to ail those who may be reducef to po verty' by the enemy; whilst, on the other hand, it expects that the before-mentioned misconduct will cease, and herehynotifies that a perseverance .. in theisame will be severely punished. IVA SMIT I N OW. SMITH', THE ACTOR.-The following letter Wzl'S addressed by this respectable veteran, who was so long an ornament to the London stage, to Mr. 'COOKE, the late celebrated Actor. It marks the liberal character of the, author, and his regard for the profession of which he was so distinguish ed a member. The public will recollect, that when • Master BETTY first appeared, Mr. SUIT/I, with the most Jaudable kindness, addressed a letter to him, pointing out the course which be should pursue, in order to obtain excel knee in the art cf acting, and :presented to him a ring with a fire head, of G'.RRICK, as a memorial of friendship, and an incitement to emu lation. It should also be mentioned, that when Mr. GARIUICK'S memory and talents were attacked in a work attributed to MACKLIN, Mr. Smyrk published a Zealous and satisfactory letter in de fence.of the Barrtsit Itoscies. The - original s of the followiag letter is in the possession 'of Mr: EGERTON, of Covent Garden Theatre. Bury, April 27, 1,501.

Consid e r th e patronage and applause which the Public have shewii,, and are inclined to shewyou. To insult them, is shameful ingratitudei, to' degrade yourself, by intemperance, is madnesS. You owe the Public Much ; pay- it as a 'man, ,as a gentleman, by good manners, by respect .and gra titude.. Have some regard too, to the character of an Actor of the first rate, and do not disgrace the Drama. • I have said enough either to offend or rouse you from ydur distemperature : but must .recommend Anthony's speech in Ail for Love, to your frequent . contemplation , _ ' Tho' Fortune did not come smilling to your youth, !et purpled greatness meets your ripen'd years," &c.
