1 he i\ port of the French having sus
tained a sew re defeat from the Russians,
continues to maintain itself. The en
gagement took [ lace Between the Vistula
and the Bug, and the loss of the French
is stated at near 30,000 men in killed and

1.50.000 troops of reserve, also regulars;
100.000 ( ossacks, Baskirs, Calmucks,
and Kiraise ; 200,000 new levy, com
pleted Jan. 1, 1807 ; 400,000, a levy in
a mass, on the frontiers, for the protec
tion ol the empire ; constituting a total
ol 1,075,000. In addition to these, a
new levy of r< cvuitj, v liich \\ ill be readv
