FIFTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.

StAwkovo, AUG. t27.—The General of division Ziloncheick,
who ct•itnaluicd a Polish division at the battle of Smolenskut w.as
wounded: 'the beliavour of the Polish corps at Smolensk° astuilished
the Russians.
who used to despise them. They were struck with
their steadiness, and tits superiority which they displayed over
themselves.

At the battles of Smolensk° and Valentina, the enemy lost twenty
Generals k:llcd, wo,mded, or taken. and a very great number of
officers. Tne gumber of wen killed, taken, or wounded, on these
occasions, may amount to from '25 to J 0,0.10 men.
On the day after the battle of V,'lumina, his Majesty gave the 12th
2nd 21st reonLiirs of infantry of the line, and the ith regiment of
light infantry, a number of decorattotis of the Legion of Honow, to
he bestowed on the C.:p:ains, Lieutenants, Sub:it:erns, and Soldiers.
The seiei lions were made on the field, in a circle before the Em.
peror, and were confirmed with acclamations by the troops.
Th • enemy's army, in retiring, burn time bridges and de.
stioy the roads, in order to retard the march of the French army as
much as poss:ble. On the 21st, they had re-passed the li.,rysthenes
at Slub-Phiwa, always closely follnwed by our advanced gnarl.
1 he commerciai establishments at Smolensko were quite itnyuched
on the itorysthenes, in a fine suburb, to which the Russians set tire,
for the sole purpose of retarding our march a single hour. Never
Iv.:s war e..aiducted with so much inhumanity : the Russians treat
their Own country as they would that of an enemy. The country is
fine, and abundantly supplied with every thing. The roads ate
aAmirable.

Prince Schwartzenberg writes trom Casiati, 0.1 the le th, that his
advanced guard has pursued the enemy on the road to Diviii,—that lie
has taken some hundreds of prisoners,--:and obliged the enemy to
burn his baggage. General Bianchi, however, who commands the
advanced guard, has succeeded in seizing 800 baggage-waggons, which
the enemy could neither carry tall; nor destroy. The Russian aitny,
under formasow, has lost almost all its baggage.
The equipage for the siege of Riga has begun to move from Tilsit
for the Dwma.
General St. Cyr has taken a position on the Drissa. The rout of
,the enemy at the battle of POotsk on the ISth was complete. The
brave Bavarian General Deroy was wounded on the field of honour,
at the age of 72, after nearly 6O years' service. His Majesty has uo-
