General Baron Borde. Soult had driven out of the village. Doe.
torow, perceiving that he was anticipated, turned to the right, and
made for Ochmiana. General Baron Pajol arrived at that place with
his light cavalry at the moment when Doctorow's vanguard entered
it. General Pajol charged. The enemy was •abrect and
enovereral t ltro‘Pajol
in the town ; he lost 60 men killed and 18 prisoners. G
had five men killed, and some wounded. This charge was nude by
the 9th regiment of Polish lancers.
General Doctorow, seeing his route intercepted, fell back upo.
Olchanoni, Marshal the Prince of Eckmuhl, with a di
infantry, the Cuirassiers of the division of Count de Valence, and the
second regiment of light cavalry of the guard, moved upon Ochmiana,
in order to support General Pajol.
" The corps of Doctorow, thus cut off and driven towards the
South, continued to prosecute the movement on the right by forced
marches, with the sacrifice of its baggage. Upon Smoroghoni„ Dar!.

movement had been foreseen. General Nansouty with a division of
eurassiers, the division of light cavalry of Count Bruyere, and Count
Moraancrs division of infantry advanced to Mikailitchki, with a view
to cut off this corps. He arrived on the Sd at S win, at the time when
ft passed that place, and pushed it briskly. He took a large number
of waggons, and obliged the enemy to abandon some hundreds of
baggage-carts.
" The uncertainty, the anxiety, the marches, and countermarches
which these troops had endured. the fatigues which they had under-
gone, must have made them suffer severely.
" Torrents of rain fell during thirty-six hours, without intermis-
sion. The weather has suddenly changed from extreme heat to very
severe cold.—Several thousands of horses have perished by the of
of this sudden transition. Convoys of artillery have been stopped by
the mud.
" This terrible storm, which has fatigued both men and beasts,
has unavoidably retarded our march ; and the corps of Doctolow,
which successively tell in with the columns of General Borde, Souls,
of General Pajol, and General Nansouty, has narrowly escaped des-
truction.
" Prince Bagration, with the sth corps, stationed more in the rear,
marches towards Dwina. He set out on the `3oth of June from Wol-
kowitsk to Minsk.
" The King of Westphalia entered Grodno the same day. The
Boman Platow was still at Grodno with his cossacks. When
charged by the Fght cavalry of Prince Poniatowskic the Cossacks were
dispersed in every direction. Twenty were killed and sixty made
prisoners. At Grodno were found materials for 100,000 rations of
bread and some remains of the magazine.
" It had been foreseen, that Bagration would have fallen back upon
the Dwina, by drawing as near as possible to Dunabourg ; and the
General of division, Count Gronchy, had been sent to Bogdanow.
He was on the lsd at Trabmi. Marshal the Prince of Echmuhl, rein-
forced by two divisions, was on the 4th at Wichnew. If the Prince
Pomato. wskie had vigorously pressed the rear guard of the corps of
Bagration, that corps would have been endangered.
G• All the enemies corps are in a state of the greatest uncertainty.
The Hetman Platow was still ignorant on the ;10th of June, that
\Vilna had been two days in the possession of the French. He toA
the direction towards that city, as fir as Lida, at which he changed
his route, and moved towards the South.
" The sun during the whole of the #4:11 re-established the roads.
Every thingis now organising at Wilna. The suburbs have suffered
by the vast crowds of people that rushed into them during the con-
tinuance of the tempest. There was a Russian apparatus there for
60,000 rations. Another.has been established for an equal number of
rations. Magazines are forming. The head of the convoys arrives at

RENEWAL of IFA betwu n TURKEY and RUSSIA.

LAYBACIT, JULY (2.-A Courier from Constantinople has broopht
news of great importance. On the of May, at the moinem they
expected the rerewal of hostilities, the Torkis!i and Russi.in Mitysters
had signed the Pi eliminat les at Buelia.rest ; and by the conditi ii of that
inconceivable Trea'y, the limits of tlw twe empires are to be the froth.
The Porte cedes to ltussia a considerable pi:rt. of Mo.davio and liesql.
rabia. Couriers from Buchan st conveyed this news to Constantino' he.
Prince Italinski was ordered immediately to p! oceen to that capita:,
with a numerous retinue; and the 'Russians. to induce the Sublime
Porte more readily to ratify the Preliminaries, ordered a retrovie
movement of then troops, which had previuusl received orders to ad-
vance on the north.
The news of the Preinuinaries were known on the fith of June at Con-
stantinople, and it produced a strong sensation. '1 he Divan was assein-
bled, and it appeared that a jority of 'the Members, gained over by
England, gave their opnion, that the signature should ratify the Prti.-
minancs. but the Grand Scignor maintained the character he has
ma-
infested since he mounted the Throne, and lie (lid nut hesitate to reject
Ithe conditions which stipulated the giving up of a art of the Ottoman
territory. Not only the partizans of peace have been removed bola
the Divan, but lirr Mufti has been deposed. Numerous executions
have taken place in the unlit. Sevi ral seditious persons hair
bccn
strangled ; others, who had expressed their joy at hearing the nuns of
the Treaty, were thrown into the Bosphorus ; and eiders have beta
given to continue the preparations for war with ell possible oetivity.
In
. consequence of the measures which have been taken, news Irian Co:
tautinople may now reach Paris in twenty-three days.
