tall in that direction, passim: behind the rear of the Austrians, but if
be should have united with, Prince Schwartzenberg, the reinforcement
would not place their united force in a situation to resist the troops
opposed to them. •
Meanwhile the advanced corps on the right, which dr,ve the enemy

from Marieubourg, Etbittx, and Dorschau, have continued their opera-
' tions, and have invested Dantz'e, Gen. Count Platoff's head quarters
being within a few English miles of that city,, in a western direction.
Gen. Count Wittgenstein has resumed the command of the right co-
lumn : and as part, at least, (f the ordnance intended for the siege of
Riga has been secured, it is probable his usual success may attend him
in reducing Dantzic.
Count Michael Woronzow has succeeded in taking possession of
Bromberg, with its valuable magazines on the left bank of the Vistula,
between Thorn and Graudentz, and AdMiral Tchichagoll is moving in
that direction, with' the rental:l(ler of his force under his command.
The garrison of Graudentz is exclusively Prussian, and it appears by
these reports, that, upon the next movement of the head-quarters,
every thing on the right bank of the Vistula will be in the occupation
of the Russian forces,, except the garrisons of Graudentz and Thorn,
tiko mention being made of any garrison left by the enemy at any other
goat on the Vistula.
I have the honour to be, &c.
