The head-quarters were, on the'3lst cf Augtr!ri
at Velitchero 3 on the Ist and 3d of September at

Ghjat.
The King of Naples, with the advanced guard'

tion, and a few hundreds of prisoners were taken"

waters that flow into the Caipian Sea. 1:16
Ghjat is navigable to the 1-Volga.
The 'of Ghjat .contains a population °
eight or tea thousand souV. Many of the hourst,
are built of stone and brick. - There are mall
parish churches, and several manufactories of liners
cloth. It is perfectly clear that agriculture lie'
made great progress in this country within the
last fatty years. It no longer bears any re,seol'
blance to the descriptions which are given of i 1:!
Potatoes, pulse, and cabbages grow there in abtlii"

harvest season; and we enjoy now the sauce Nve'3"

nient of" October.
The deserters, the prisoners, the inhabitants,

all agree that the greatest confusion preva.""

if-
tracted with a diversity of opinions, and has
fered. enormous losses in the different actions..

appears. that the opinion of the.army is n°lie
vourable to .the plans of Barclay de Tolli; ig
is accined of having made his divisions fisbt•l

Vantage.

We have found in this place two Bulletins,
which give an account of the actions before S,nio-
le.nsko, and of the battle of the Drissa. They
Lave appeared sufficiently curious to be annexed
to this Bulletin. When we shall receive the
sequel of • these Bulletins, they shall be sent to
the Nikiteur. It appears by their contents that
the Editor has prnfited by-the instructions he re-
ceived from Moscow, " that the- truth is not to
be told to the4-`, ussiall people, but that they are to
be deceived with lies." Smolensko was set on
fire by the Russians. They set fire to the suburbs
on the :day after the 'battle, when they saw our
bridge established over the Boristhenes. They
also set fire to Duroghoboni, to Viasma, and to
Ghjat; but the French carne up in .time to en-
tinguish it. This may be easily conceived. The
'rench have no interest in burning those towns
that-belong to them, and in depriving themselves
•*f the resources Which theY,atforil. ThA... cellars
nave been every where fil!ed With brandy, leather,
and every species of article that is useful to an
4rrny.

It the country be wasted, if the inhabitants
3ntrtr more than a state of wr warranis, the
fault is in the Russians.
The army rested on the 2d and 3d in the

", On the I'6th of August, the 2d arid 6th

of the Marshal Duke of Reggio. The latter, which

Q°aclio Ndvel ; but was quickly repused by'Major,;
t;el'eral Count de Beckers; and When 'about five

ol'ulset,' every attack of the enemy with the ut-
c;st bravery. From the movements of the ene.,
roads
and his reiterated attempts to advance by the
of Navel and Sebetz, it was easy to per-.
ikive that he had serious intentions of attacking
hirce the division in front of Polotsk.
tell': it tva.S" in consequence deemed proper to eon-
t -rate the second French division, and that of
: General of Infantry within and around Po-
esk on both sides of the Pelota, to take post in
the village of Spass, situate on the tight bank of .
flue 1"olota, half a league in front of the town, iu
ear of which two bridges had been thrown
t 4• er e the rivers. Count Wredc was posted.along
Polota, and occupied Spass with the first bat-
-114°4 of the 2d regiment Of the hilt ; Hereditary
6-tht'ee., and the Ist company of musketeers of the
tie_leginient of the line, Duke William; Major-
tieeral de Vincenti,was directed to defend the
age. .
eol kt eight a'clock the enemy advanced in deep

Qtr`ierleS, Gothard and Gravenrenth; to advance
tidy ue left of Spass, on a height where. they were
bt,4t4ageously posted. He ordered Colonel De

Duke William, and to preserve the commit-
jortion with SpasS. He then .gave.Orriers to Ma-
tvi,l‘Aeneral Count De Beckers to cover the right

The 2d battalion of the 6th .of the Doke
William, then retired, partly Poiotay
partly beyond, that river, and comMeneed 4 sharp
fire of musketry. At the same time Alajor-(;ene7/
ral De Vincenti made 'an impetuous sally,from the
garden of the,castle; and, charging, the enemy;
drove him from the village with Considerable:loss.
NevertheleSs he continued his
.attacks upon Spass,
and the entire Of the line; and advanced on the
road of Selietz againit the French divi'siit. '
'The .
enemy attertipted a second time to take
.
Spass assault, But was. repulsed. Major- Gene- ,
rat de Vineenti was wounded on
,this occasion.
Colonel Count Sparier,, Who 'was reinforced by
two companies- of the sth battalion of light in-,

repulsed a third Attack with much spirit but as

Wounded in the different attacks, Count Wiede
had the:in relieved by four ogler eompahies ofthe
battalion of BOttler, and by two companies of the
11th of the line, de, Kinkel; and committed the,
defence of the village to: Colonel Count Bottler.
" ettea4, however, continued his attack,
upon the whole line with much obstinacy. Col;
De nerdy, who hail opposed to hiM the whole of
the• enemy'S line from Spass to the point of tlie
wood; and who .Was: appointed to-Cover th!:i;bati7
teries in his
.rear, performed prodigieS of V•afc,t.ni:
with the brave regiment which he commands
bat as his‘ division Was ekhausted; he was rein=
ftirced by A battalion of the.sth and 11th of the
line, and with these lie continued the contest till
night.
" Although the batteries of Gothard and Gra-
venruth, Which Were well served, mowed down
with a fire of ;r,►pe whole columns Of RuSsian
troop, they; ,nevertheless; renewed their attacks
inCeSsantlY.•. At length the part Of: the village
nearest the enemy was Set on fire at sik o'clock in
the evening by the grenades, and 'they were, in
cori-Sequenee; obliged to desist from their attacks
on that
_ _ .

" Marshall the DUlte of Reggio having, beet
then Wounded, Count Gouvioa de St. Cyr, who
had " himself been pi•eViously Wounded by the re-:
hound of a ball, took the chief 'command of the
2d. and 6th corps.
.‘‘ At nightfall, the enemy ceased firing, and oc-
cupied themselves in removing the killed and
wounded, the number whbm was- very great.
Prince Wittgenstein liked hiS.,head-cluartets
at Przesithience, which iS only a quarter of a league
froth ,-;pass.
_

At four o'clOck on the morning of the 18th,
the corps, of Gen. Derov relie'ved, that of General
Wrede, ,which had been much esthattsted by the
battle of the former' days. The-enemy remained
quiet during the morning, but Gen: Count de St.
Cyr, satisfied that they would soon renew the at-
tack, resolved to anticipate them at four o'iClock in
the aftqnoon, and made his dispositions accord-
ingly: The enemy had collected theii forces .dar-
ing- the night of the 17th, and had increased the
number of their guns to 100..

Between three and four o'clock on the 15th,
a battery of
-51 Bavarian guns was established
,on
a-height near the village-of Spass-, and the signal
for the attack was .to be a shot &out a twelve-
pounder. As son as this was given the battery
cDnlmenced a- destructive fire 'of grape, which
reached' the Castle of Przesiniience, Where Prince
Wittgenstein had his head-quartcrs.7
" When the enemy's advanced guard Was rout-
ed, the Russian artillery, posted upon the heio-6hts
1 •
of I rzesinnence, began to play. Then the 3d
and 7th Bavarian regiments of infantry of the line,
:comManded by Major-General Count Beckers,
rUshed upon the enemy with charged bayonets.
The battalion la Roche took the 'village
of I-la-
' inernia; about a league from Spass, in order to
menace the enemy's left wing. The battle becanie
general. General Raglovich wits wounded
verely; and Zollern succeeded him in the
command 'of ltis brigade. dentral Peroy, after
he had directed several battalions to attack the
idetrty at the point of the bayonet, was wounded
in the lower, part of the belly by a musket ball,
and carried off the field. The fire becathe 'every
moment more violent, and did much execution on
both 'sides.

Count Wrede took the command of all the
Bavarian troops. He sent the brigade command-
ed by General de Siebein to support the division
of General Legrand.
Gerieral Siebein and Colonel de Zollern
fought with the greatest bravery. The 9th Bava-
rian infantry regiment of the line attacked the cas-
tle. of Przesimience, defended by infantry and ar-
tillery, by. order of General Ctiuut St. Cyr.' The
e9emy was driven from it, and baying beon.to
retreat, about eight o'clock in the evening, the
victory was complete.
" We took 21 guns, many baggage and amnia-.
nition waggons, and 1,500 prisoners : 4,00 kill-
ed and wounded remained tipon the field ; but so
many wounded and prisoners have been brought.
in since from the neighbouring forests, that -lie
loss of the enemy may be computed at 17 or 18,00
men. General. Siebein was detached in pursuit,
but was wounded. Colonel Baron de Schoeke
succeeded burn, and continued the attack with

much bravery and presence of mind, and the erie-
my was driven from a defile, where be seemed id-

cllned to take up a position.
" Thus the brave Bavarian warriors have, on
the banks of the Duna, elected their banners with

laurels." In the plains of Polotak, they have au.-
swered the expectations of the greatest hero'.of the
age. This brave army is the pride Of the, nation,
which' might loudly-express its joy., if that joy
Nvere not adulterated by the grief necessarily at-
tendant on the loss of so many brave men who
have fallen tin their country's cause.'
" The number of killed in the Bavarian army
on the 16th,- 17th, and ilitli of August, amounts'
to 144; that of the Wounded to 1136 ; and the
missing to 715.
_Among the killed there are two

Generals, two Colonels-, and a Lieut.-Colonel

On the 4th (16th) of August, the Emperor Na,

strong, made his appearance before Sinolensko.
He was received about six wersts froth the city, by
the corps of Lieut. Gen. Rayewsk y. The battle coin -
inenced at six -o'clock in the morning, and at
iitidri became most bloody. The courage of the
Rusaans'Oyercame numbers, and the enemy was
overthrown. The corps ofGCR, Doctor° w, which
had arrived to replace that of Rayewsky, at
tacked .the enemy ,on the Sth (17th) at day-
light,. and the engagement lasted till night fall.
The enemy was repulsed at every point ; and the
Russian sOldiers.„,' full of that courage and intre-
pidity which =Mates them in the defence of their
country, fought With desperacy, invoking' the as-
sistance of the,Almighty„ .
liut during this time the city of Smolensko was
a prey to. the flames, and,our troops. took a posi-

The dapture of Stholensko, which„ was rednced
to ashes by the enemy, cost. them more than
20,000 men. The inhabitants. had, all left-pre-
rions to the'battle.. The loss in killed and wound-
ed on our side amounts to 4000 men. The brave

HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR

OSWeC, July:3l, 0.), 1812.
" 1 have 'received information ffom my advanced
posts, thatthe enemy was'.making-every effort from
Polotsk to carry them, an by prisoners and de-
Serters, that the Fre;lch Grand Army was con-
Staritlyreceivhigreinforcements of Bavarian and
Wirtearburg tfoops.
I received at the same time from the Minister
of War, intelligence of the junction of the two ar-
mieS, togetherwith orders to attack them imme-
diaiely in flank.

I accordingly detached four squadrons under
the cdrnniand Of Major ledragni, whom I directed
to observe every movement of 3.llcdonald's Army
and give the notice thereof. I advanced against
Oudinot's corps which I met on the evening Of
the 29th, four wersts from Rochauowa.

" Having immediately made the necessary ar-
rangemeuts, I yesterday vigorously attacked him,
with the help of God.

" After eight hours constant fighting, th:: enemy
was routed and pursued, till night came ort, by his
Majesty7s brave troops.
'" We have taken three Officers and 250 sol-
dierS. The loss of the enemy in killed and WOund-
O, has been consider4ble. Their cuirassiers, par-.
ticularly, have suffered 'nisch, in consequence
Of their attemptc to take our guns. I cauSed them
to be pursued by the Hussars of Grodno, who dis-,
tinguished themselves on this occasiori. We have
lost 400 men in killed and wounded, amOng'whom
we have particularly to lament the death of the
gallant Col. Dennissen, who donimanaed the 25th
regiment of chasseurs, and who was killed by a
cannon-ball.
