commander and troops, was coMpelled to fail back,
by which movement.- our battery, which kept in

charged the enemywith the bayonet, and retook the
cannon of which he had got possession. In 'the'

dispositions to take the battery in reverse, and Gen.

rushed forward at the Charge of the bayonet on the'
enemy, drove them- back, and stopped the progress'
of their other columns who were coining up. :gut
the French, who still kept up afire of musketry .and
artillery, did norabandon their intention of attack-
ing our right flank until the ComMander.in Chief
took the resolution of attacking the enemy in his
turn.

With this view he ordered Lieut. General O.
terman to move forward with the infantry of the
left wing, 20 squadrons of cavalry to march from the
ri'iht flank, and the 'battery under the command of
Major Stawickti'to advance at the saute time, Which
taking the enemy's line in flank, by a vigorous and
well-directed cannonade totally touted and dispersed
it. In the mean time the remainder of our cavalry
was posted in the centre, to keep that of-the enemy
in check. The French fought desperately, but were
at length compelled' to yield to the uncommon brave-
ry of the Russian warriors,, the ability and resolution
of the Commander, and the heavy destruCtive fire of
the artillery,
