" After these extraorchiiary great successes which we daily and
every where are aining over the enemy, nothing m re remains for us
to do :han pursue him rapidly, and then, rrhaps, the Russian land
which he the light to subjugate, may be strewed with his bones Let
us, therefore, pursue him without giving him any re•t.The winter,

ccmpanied with frost and snow, is approaching ; but what have y
hardy children to *at. Your breasts of steel fear neither the severity
pf the weather, nor the malice of the enemy ; they are the safest walls
of your native country, aga.nst which all attempts mitt fail. You
are hkewi-e Al....qtiate to the support of any temporary want, in case
such should take nlace. Good soldiers prove themselves such by
fortitude and patience ; of which the veterans set ex. mites to the
younger soldiers. May every one keep Suwarrow la remembrance
