BinTLE OF PVL77,'SIe.

We publish, by authority, the following Extra&
from the Official Reports of General Benningsen, as
transmitted from the,Cahinet of St. Petersburgh to
the Russian Minister in London, and by his Excel-
lency.'communicated to our Government : • -
" ST. PETERSBURGH, J AN. 7.—On the 4th and sth
inst,Messetigerr arrived here -from- the Army, art-
nounCing to,..his Imperial Majesty, that since the 23d
of December almost daily skirmishes took place
between the advAnced corps, in which the Enetriy
were- invariably' repulsed. The moment General
Benningsen had taken a position near Pultusk, be
was attacked by the division of the Enemy under
General Sucliet ; the thion lasted three hours ; but
the. Enemy were 'at length repulsed With cOnsi-
derable loss.

" On the -26th the greater , part of the division
under Prince Dolgorucky had.joined,,General Ben-
ningsen ; and about eleven o'clock , the Enemy, in
great force, made an attack under the immediate
diredion 'Of Bonaparte, lea by. Marshals Davoust and
Lasnes, and a detached
,corps under General Suchet.
The .battle was most sanguinary, and lasted till dark:
at thp commencement of it,, General Davouk, with,
a corps .of 15,000,- fell upon our left wing, in order
to:possess .himself of .Purtusk in oor rear. General
Baggavoust, who commanded there with 4000 men,
was obliged to give way to the superior numbers of
the Enemy'; bu(General Count Osterman being
immediately detached by General Ilenningsen to his
support, the progress of the Enemy was arrested.—
,The, attack upon the rigjlt wing was irripetuous, and
Was concluded by Bonaparte himself. Lasnes's nu-
•merous corps of infantry were employed in this`Ser;
Vice, and advanced throng-It a thick nuderwooclrupon
out advanced. guard, which., was stationed under
General Barklay de Tolly to cover our wing. Our
small corps necessarily gave way, and afforded op-
portunity for a masked battery - to act ; a few dis-
charges of grape-shot killed vast, nuniners or tne
Enemy, and effeatially stopped, his career. Gen.
De Tolly, profitting by his contusion, again ad-
vanced ; but was again obliged to retire.. Bona•
parte now attempted to out-bank .this battery, when
General :.Benningsen oruered the,charge of the two
to the whole of the right wing, and sent three bat-
talions up two dirferent times to support Uene;:li
De:Toliy. At, this period of the battle Gtrikr::l
•Bermingsen determined to attack the Enemy
,:n his
turn, and for tliis purpose he metered- General
Count Osterman to advance with the rest of his in-
fantry towards: the right • wing, and supported him
with a, strong train of 'artillery, and twenty squa-
.drons of cavalry—at the same time ordering the
rest of the cavalry to ibrm in front of his. centie,
in order to keep that of 'the Eneaiy 'in its poAion.
The French defended t heritselves with
,despqratioi
but 'Were obliged 'to yield 'to the .valour of ,bis .lin-
perialNajesty :s troops'; they were entirely cletei4.l,l
and beaten from the scene of (action.
,The pri:
sonets we have.taken declare that the enemy lost
aboVe.6oo6:.meri in killed alOne.:7 =Out 'foss =could
not be immediately ascertained, and the AleSsenger
was d4atcited the moment 'tile affair was over-; it'
does not, :however, exceed 2000 men. General
Benningsen proposes gi"ving a iii tailed account of
this battle as soon as possible ;' hot adds, that he
cann t. sutfieientiy praise,the courage and intrepi-
dity of the troops of his Imperial Majesty. Amongst
other' things he mentioir.;,-.that' Major-General.
Kozen, with the Imperial Body li.c6ment of Cuiras-
siers, and two regiments ''at C :riopol Dragoons,
charged a detachil,f.ll of the Elien‘,y, consisting of
3000 infantry, which was on the point-of cutting
off' Majur-Generat • Baggavonst, and notwithstan&
ihg the galling of the. Enemy's artillery,
Eltrough . them, arid cut, them to .pieces to. .a
Thus Bonaparte's attempt at the destruction df the
Cory - T:nningsen 'was- delcatect -and
a complete vidory Obtained over him."

We have been also favoured with several Letters
from St. Peter,burgh; of which we give the follow-
lug Extracts . • .
ST. PEi•ERSiiiIRGH, JAN. is 'confidently
stated, that Bonaparte, finding the means of support...,
ing his army extremely scanty,- determined to make
a bold 'push, and possess himself, if possitsle, o"fth6
Russian magazines. On the ;;6th alt. forthispur-:
pose, when in sight of the Russians, he fired a wood
to windward of them, in the hope of cOntitsitt their
operations by .the scnolie., The Russ;ank- in Coti-
sequence made a feint, as if to change their position'
and retreat, upon
,which the .French rapidly adykr.';--
ed. The Russians-continued to retreat, but it 'was
with the design* of giving room fiat a masked battery
in their rear, to play upon the ':.Enemy. The plan
succeeded, and the fire of the battery swept a\vay
3000 -of the French troops. The cavalry,;and cos-
sacks then 'charged and 3000 men, to.. pieces,
and took 4000 prisoners.. Bonaparte's Adjutant.:
General was taken prisoner., ~A reportis now 41.1 -
rent liere- that a second battle was fought On- the
28th, in which the Russians took 80 pieces of ciati-
nclii, and 30,000 prisoners. Benningsen alsO com-
manded in this battle, as .Kaininskoy wasp ill,. with
the 'corps-de.i.reserte, at a short distaqe from. the
scene of atlioit."

LETTER FROM 'A VERY RESPECTABLE MERCHANT AT
ST. PETERSEUROH, TO HIS BROTHER IN LONDON.

DATED 25TH DECEMBER, 0. S. OR 6TH JANUARY.

" Long live our brave Emperor, anti his gallant
Army ! is the universal exclamation at St. Peters-
burgh. VASSILZIKOFF, the Courier, arrived. from the
Army in Poland yesterday at 1 1 o'clock, and broUght
the auspicious tidings, that our brave soldiers had de-
feated the French in a masterly style, with the loss.on
the side of the Enemy, of four thOusand men
and six thousand. prisoners. The particulars I have
this instant learned, from a highly respedable quar-
ter. They are as follows :—The scarcity cfprovisigns
in the French Army, and the top 9 of. ending- the

campaign by. a decislve blow, concurred to induce
BONAPARTE 10 pass the- Vistula, at the head of slid/
thousand men. On the 23d of December he advanc-
ed to the out-posts of General BENNINGSRN'S Army'
where Gen. OSTERMAN commanded. Although BEN'
NINGSEN'S force was, formidable (fifty. five thousand
men), he preferred at first the prudent alternative of
retreating during the 23d, 24th, and 25 tII inst. 00
each of these days skirmishes took place, but on the
26th the two armies made a stand in sight of each.
other, at a village called which lay between
them.' This village BONAPARTE, who commanded
in person, set on fire, to cover his attack on the
Russians,_ whom he thus• thought to envelope id
smoke. This artifice, however, wassoon turned against
himself ; for BENNINGSEN, discovering his intention,
instantly formed his reserve into a hollow square,
which advanced, unperceived, under the smoke of
the This gallant corps marched with fixed
bayonets; the Russian, line opened their files to let
them pass through, and never stopped till they
reached the centre of the French. Here an obstinate
conflict took place.; but the Russians succeeded not
only in routing the centre of the enemy, but aka
turned both their wings. The left wing of the French
being shaken by the Russian infantry, was entire'
borne doziM and dispersed by Gen. CHAPLITZ, at thd
head of the Cavalry, who killed 2000 men. Their
right wing shared a similar fate from General Ke•
ZEN, at the
,head of his Jagerg: The rout of the
French was complete. DAVottsr, LASNES, BONA.

at GrOd:io, one of these, pretending to be,a Prussian
General, brought a letter, signed apparently byhis
Prussian Majesty, and requesting a confidential
communication of the intended route of the Russial
forces. The sagacious veteran instantly penetrate':

I beg leave to inforM you, that on the morning
of the loth of last month, standing in for the land to
the eastward of Cumberland Harbour, I observed a
Felucca running into Hidden Port: • Mr. W.
Duke, the First. Lieutenant, volunteered his services,
with Lieut. C. Spence and Ading Lieut. D.
The Barge and Yawl were armed, and instantly
&atehed. On their approach they found her crew
tZd landed (about 5o in number) with their small
tr'i)a and the only loner gun ; had lashed the Vessel
0 the trees ; posted themselves on a hill close to the
'each; and fired down on our Boats with grape and
Musketry in the most determined manner. (I am
~,,ve,rY sorry to say Lieut. Duke was killed the first
7'lley.) Lieut. Spence, wbo took the co,nmand,
laforms me it was impossible to'stand the continual
fire kept up from our Boats for one hour and 20
trlinutes (several of the Enemy having fallen during
that time). From the Barge being shot through in
111. any, places, and seven wounded men in the Boats,
~..iteut: Spence very properly judged it would be only
vkle iificing the lives of the brave party to attempt the
'l4l, he therefore ordered the Vessel to be towed
t'titi which was done from under a very heavy fire
t..,:grape. By her journal she appears to be the
engeur French Privateer, and sailed.tiorn the city
rrSt. Domingo the Ist O&. which, from being
kY, owing to shot-holes, &:.t. sunk astern of the
Akieut. Spence speaks in the highest terms of the
tiorN Lieut. O'Reilly (who has been in that situa-
sr, with tne above eight months), the Petty Officers,
amen, and Marines under his orders.
cannot omit recommending to your notice Mr.
Rand Hughes, Master's Mate, who passed for a
