Dec'ember'S.—Adrairal Tchicbitgnlf, in his first
report' of the sth,- stat: that Major-General
Count Orourka had pursucd the' enemy to '
derschno, taking five hundred prisoners and eight
pieces of cannon. By his second report of the 7th
December, it appears -that his van-guard, under
the orders of Al ajor-Cieneral Tehablitz, bad pressed
so close upon the enemy's rear, as to carry off his
-picquets, anti subsequently entirely to destroy that
ctirps near 'Sthorgoni, at which place their main
body halted, and were not a little surprised to see
our Cosiacks appear, When they immediately fled
with such precipitation as to leave all their maga-
zines. The enemy's loss on this occasion amount-
ed to twenty-five pieces of cannon and three thou.
sand prisoners.
Head-quarters, Molodetchno, 9th December.
The enemy was pursued from this place on the
7th by Count Orourka as far as Belitzi, with a
loss of nine pieces of cannon, and above WOO pri-
soners,. a great number of tumbrils and Other car-
riages. 'ln consequence of the extreme cold, and
the great want of provisions, the numbers of per-
sims perishing along the high rotub have cons:-
(tenthly increased, amongst whom are noticed
many of Napoleon's guard.
.Aide-de-Camp General Count Oscharoffsky re-
ports, under date Woloschna, 7th D:cumber, that
on that day he arrived there; and proposed follow-
ing the Grand Army in a parallel Hue, endeavour•-
ing at the same time to cover its left flank, and to
observe the movements of the corps under Prince
Schwartzenberg. Admiral Tchitsehagoti reports
on the Bth, that his vansguard„ eon-unflded by
Major General Tchaplitz continuing to pursue the
enemy and to press him cloiely, had compelled
bias to abandon sixty-one pieces of cannon.. Col,
Mortlegnasse, Aide-de-Camp- General of the Staff,
the Aide-dc-Camp of Marshal Davonst, and two
thousand men were made prisoners ,in this affair.
The whole of the rued from Smorgoniqii Oschr
Wispy, was so ' completely sti,..wetl with dead
bodies, and dead hnr';es, and so covered with ar-
tillery 'waggons', tunibrils, and 'carriages; that it
was rendered almost impassable.
The dissatisfaction, amongst Napoleon's troops
has increased to such a pitch, that they with one
voice charge him-as the author otall their misery.
Head-quarters:, Sniorgonie, December, 10.—
Colonel Knorring reports, under date of the Sth,
that he detiched some scinadrons' to watch the

Having afterwards joined the detachment under
Major-General Landskoy, an attempt was, made
to carry the town itself ; but finding, themselves
too weak for the enemy's • infantry, dispersed
throughout the houses, they were under the ne-
cessity of waiting the arr.tval of the advanced
guard of- Tehichagoff 's .army.

Maj6q; Di.T.enther 14, 1812:
At the time of the capture of \Vilna by our
troops on the 10th of December,
.the enemy de-
filed through the streets, whilst Ctiunt Piatotr, in
order -to cut off his retreat by the road to Kovno,
occupied it with ell his cossack regiments, as well
as with those of. the Hussars of Olviopole, and
the dragoons of Shitomir and Artismas. Having
let pass the first Fart of the enemy"; columns,
Connt Maud ordered Count Orloff Dcnisoif to at-
tack it with spirit, at the same time hahimself
stacked with impetuosity the other.columns ; the ar,
tillery under Col. Prince Koutlasebetf kept up an
incessant fire. Count Platoff afterwards ordered
Count Orloff Denisoff to pass in the rear of the
enemy, to post 'detachments on his flanks, and
to liresit'drhis arriving at the Mountains of Pons-
ry.',-The large columns were completely routed
by the.well .directed fire of our artillery, and af,
terwards entirely destroyed. One General, thirty
officers, and more than a thoktsand soldiers were
made prisoners ; twenty-eight pieces of cannon
were: taken, and a number of weggons and Car.:
riages, 'The loss on our side was very inconsider-
able. Colonel Flowaisky, and Lieut.-Cat. Bibi 4
holt*, were dangerously Wounded.
Atter the Capttife of Wilna, 1. employad every
possible means tore• establish order, and to in-
form Myself of every thing : but the shoi tness of
the time does not petnik me to present, to your
Imperial Majesty with -this report, a detailed in,
ventory of all we. have found here, especially as
the quantity of provisions of -every sort, as well
as the lumber of prisoners., Is so great, that it
will take a considerable time to. make, an exact
account.

During my stfiy here, the Chief of the staff en.
Stawmkatr, and iqujor-Cienetal Beru‘dio, have
collocted from the different niagazinc-s of the town,
fourteen thousand tsehetwert of barley, live
thousand tschetwert of biscuit nul
mense number of uniforms, musi(ers, ,pouches,
saddles, great-coats,' nod other Articles of equip-
ment.

Vivier, Goosse, Normand, Gouliot, Le Fevre,
FwanotAy, and Sajontschik.; eighteen Stair Offi-
cers, two hundred and twenty-four superior Offi.

soldiers, and five thousand one hundred and thirty,
nine sick, were found in the hospitals.
A great number of prisoners continue to be made
in the fl eighbourhood,.and several turtgazines bare
beep tsticen, which we have not had time to set.,
