On the same day, at two in the. morning, '
General Baron Colbert entered Orclia, where he

iossession of immense magazines of flour,
t 5, and clothing. Lie afterwards passed the
l'lristhenes, and proceeded in pursuit. of a con-
°Y of artillery.
" Smolensk is in alarm. Every
.thing is re-
moving to Moscow. An Officer, sent by the Ern-
tror to cause the evacuation of the magazines of
ttreh., was quite astonished to find the place in
l'e possession of the 'French. This Officer was
taken with his dispatches.
``While Bagration was briskly pursued in his
retreat, anticipated in his projects, separated and'
tmoved from the main army, that army, coin-
P.anded by the Emperor Alexander, retreated on
the Dwina. On the 14th, General Sebastiani,4fol-

and arrived at Dronia.
, " On the 13th, the Duke of Reggio advanced

l'rixoners. After this diversion on the 'right, be

" On the 15th the enemy, who was concentrat-
ed 3 ill his entrenched camp of Drissa, to the num-
ber of from 100 to 120,000 men, being inforrned
that our light cavalry did not keep a strict watch,
threw over a bridge, sent across
,5,000 infantry,'
and 5,000 cavalry, attacked General Sebastiani
"expectedly, drove him back one 'league, and
eaused him a loss, of,loo killed, wounded, and pri-
tqners, among whom were a Captain and a Stib-
identenant of the 11th chasseurs. The General
°f Brigade, St. Genier, who was mortally wound-
ed, remained in the power of the enemy. .
" On the 16th, the Marshal Duke of Treviso,
With a part of the foot guards and the horse
guards, and the light Bavarian cavalry, arrived at
Glenbokoe. The Vice-Rov arrived at DOckee-.

Xamen, and the King of Naples at Disna.
" On the 18th the Russian army•evacuated
their intrenched camp of Dressa, defended by
twelve pallisadoed redoubts, united by a covered
Ivav, and extending 3000 toises on, the river.-1
These works cost a year of labour. We have le-
. veiled them.

" All the preparations the enemy had made to
.defend the passage' of the Dwina have been use-
less.—The Magazines he has been forming, at a
great expense, for ,these three years past, have
been entirely destroyed.'
,The same has happened
to his works, which, according to the reports of
the people of the country, have cost the Russians
in one year not less than 6000 men. One can
hardly- guei's.on what ground they flattered: the!a-
-selves that they would be attacked in the encamp-
Meats they hadiutrenched.

tion from the Baltic to the Black Sea.

‘,,‘ In his movements the enemy has lr.zen obliged
to destroy his baggage, and to throw his artillery
and arms into the rivers. All the 'Poles of his
army avail theniselves of his precipitate retreat to
,to desert and wait in the woods till the arrival of
the French.
" The number of Poles who have deserted the

to 20,000 men.

NINTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.

" Bechenkoviski, July 75.

" The Emperor removed his head-quarters on
the 23d to Kamen, passing by the way of On-
chatseh.

" On the 22d, the Viceroy occupied the bridge
of Botcheiskovo. A reconnoisauce of 200 ca-
valry; sent on Bechenkoviski, met two sv,s'rons
of Russian and two of Cossac hussars, charged
them, and took or killed about a dozen of men;
one of whom was an:officer. The Chef d'Esca-
dron Lorenzi, who commanded the reconnois-
sance, praises Captains Rossi and Ferreri.

At six in the morning of the 23d, the Vice-
i.oy arrived at BechenkoViski. At ten o'clock he
passed the river, and threw a bridge over the
Dwina. The enemy wished to dispute the pass-
age; 'his artillery was dismounted. Colonel La-
croix, Aid-de-Camp of the Viceroy, had his thigh
fractured by a ball.
The Emperor arrived at Bechenkoviski on
the 24th, at two o'clock in the afternoon. The
division of cavalry of General Count Bruyers, and
the division of General Count St. Germain, were
•s,ent forward to Witepsk; and 'passed the night

•," On the 20tii, the Prince of Eckmuhl marched
upon•Mohilaw. Two thousand men, who fOrMed
the garrison• of that city; had the hardihood to,
wish to defend it. They were cut to pieces by
the light cavalry.
" On the 21st, 3000 Cossacks attacked the ad-
vanced posts of the Prince of Eckmuhl. They
were the advanced guard of Prince Bagration, and
bad; come from Bobrunsk. A battalion of the
856 stopped this cloud of light cavalry, and
drove them to a gieat distance. Bagration
ap-
peared to have profited of the little activity with
which. lit 'was pursued, to proceed upon Bo-
brunsk, and thence he returned upon Mohilow.
• " We occupy Mohilow, Orcha, Disna, and
Polostsk. We are marcning on Witepsk, where,
it appears, the Russian army is collected. •
[" Annexed is a plan of the entrenched camp,
and of the lines which the enemy formed in front
of the Drissa. It was a laborious work."]

PARIS, AUG. 5.--The' progress of the French
and Allied Armies, as announced-in the last Bul-
letin, when examined by the map, exhibit the
most important results,- and afford a certain pre-
sage of a glorious termination to the campaign.
It is remarkable that the main body of the .
French army, united at Oula, whcre.the Dwina
And the Dnieper approach nearest to each'other,
is now at a distance almost equal from Tilsit,- the
ancient boundary, of the Russian territories, from
Petersburg,. froth Moscow, and from Kiovie, the
three principal cities of Russian Europe. Orcha,
where one of the Corps of the Grand Army is at
present; is situated on the high road from Walla
to Moscow, and upon one of the routes which lead
from Petersburgh to Kiow. The distance from
Orcha to Wilna, by the way of Minsk, is about 80
league's, (25 to a degree) to Tilsit; from 13S to
140, and to Vaiscovic, by the way of Minsk and
Honim, about 70. Orcha lies under the same me-
ridian With Petersburg, And is
.1.35 leagues in a
straight line upon the map, but the road is full of
windings, on account of time lakes and marshes be-
twixt Witespk and Weliki Laki: The following
are the distances from Orcha to Moscow,' accord-
ing to
.the map of the posts .---From Orcha to
Swolinsk,' 101 werstes, or 24-1 leagues ;, from
Smolinsk to Dorogehasz, 87 werstes, or 214 lea-
gues ; from 'Dorogehasz to Wiaisma, 77 werstes,
or 191 leagues ; from Wiaisma to Mosaik, -115
werstes, or 28_1 leagues ; from Mo-salc. to Mos-
cow, 99 werstes, or 214- leagues. Total distance
, from Orcha of Moscow, 118 or 119 leagues. For
the last fifteen days, the situation of the Russian
armies has become more embarrassing. This is
abundantly evident from a glance at the map.
The Emperor Alexander had announced, in his'
First Bulletin, that the army, commanded by him-
self in person, was to form a junction with that
under Prince Bagration. This object has not been
'attained; The grand Russian army has in vain
fallen back from Wilna to Drissa, and from Drissa
to Witepsk, a distance of more than 80 leagues.
The corps of French posted at Orcha has taken
such a position, that the Emperor Alexander, at
Witepsk, and Prince Bagration at Mozyr, cannot
exchange intelligence, except by Motislaw and
Smolmsk, a circuit of 110 leagues. In a military
point of view, these two armies have no longer
any communication, as they can no longer co-
operate directly.

itnit likewise be-Observed; that the army un..•
der Pdace tagratiOn is itself divided into two
bodies, which cannot act in conjtinction.
The two Russian divisions, *no hate returned
to Wolhynia, by the road of-Pinsk, are. scrim:oo,
from those that have.fallen back iron Mozyr, by
the whole length of the marshes 'of .Polesia,
tance of mote than fifty leagues, without any prac-
ticable route for a diVision of an army.
'After a short but painful dropsical 'cOmplaint,
Vice-Admiral Villaut Joyeat, 'Grand Eagle of the
Legion of Honour, Governor of Venice, died in
that city, ,on the 25th of July.. This excellent:
Officer; distinguished by his services and.the high
situations, he, held' under. his Majesty, is univer-
sally regretted.
GRODNO, JULY s.—The Grand French Army is
composed of ten corps. The 10th forms its left
wing, commanded by Marshal Macdonald, Duke
of Tarentum. The Prussian corps, under the or-
ders of General Gravert, Constitute a p'hrt of it.—
The centre of the army is-composed of the Ist.
Corps, Marshal Davoust ; the-2d, Marshal °adi.
not,;. the 3d, Marshal Ney'; the 4th- and 6th, the
Prince Viceroy of' Italy; the sth, ith, and Bth,
King of -Westphalia ;. form the right wing of the
artny'. The 9th, (Marshal Victor's) is placedbe—
tween the Elbe and, the Oder. His Majesty the
King of fsTaples. commands all the cavalry. . The
Wirtemburghers are commanded by the Heredi-
tary Prince, 'the'Saxons by Gen. Funk; the Bava,-
rians by. Gen. Wreck,
CRACO, JULY 5.-An army of reserve of 80,000
men has. already'assembled in the environs of
berg• Prince Hohenzollern, General*of Cavalry;
who who commands it, has his he,td-iruarters at/Lim-
berg. The General of Cavalry; Prince. de liens;
Henry XV. who has hitherto had the chief Com..-
.mud in Galacia, has gone to the baShs for the re-
covery of his health. . •
VIENNA, JuLY.2s.—The Limberg Gazette of
the 15th July announces, that the Russian troops,
before retiring from Buzesletecusky, burnt all the
bridges upon 'the Bug, which were between that
town and Terespol. Previous to their retreat,
they set fire to a magazine containing 60,000 kerez
of cheese. The Russians are retiring at very
point, and it is not
.supposed they will take, any
position between the Duna and the Dnieper. Ac-
cording to intelligence from Bucharest, Muhadar
Effende arrived on the 27th in that town. He is
charged with a mission from the Porte, theobject
of which is not at present precisely !non n.
PARIS, .A‘ro. 6.—From the Gazette de France of
the day:—

PRISONERS OF WAR.--SEcaND ARTICLE.

"' We are.not ignorant that England wishes to
establish a difference between British subkcts de-
tained in consequence of our reprisals, and the
military men whom the .fate of war has thrown
into the enemy's hands ;' we must must therefore
freely discuss the question:
".'Tie English Government seizes, in. the midst
of peace, a merchant vessel, confiscates the pro-
perty placed unsder the guarantee W.' public right;
takes, without any distinction, the crew and pas-
sengcrs prisoners.: , upon this intelligence, at
which the whole of France is, with justice, indig-
nant, its GovernMent, full of sentiments of na-
tional honour, orders the arrest of the English
who at that time sojourn in the empire. In;
asrunch as the provocation is odious, the reprisal
is just :and moderate. No persOn ...Can, deny this
truth. • .

" The time is passed in' which l'i4nces who
piqued themselves upon a 'false generosity; who
mistook their weakness or their indifference for
equity and moderation, allowed England to do any
thing without daring to attack her with her own
weapons. -

" If France had imitated this conduct, its Go—
vernment would have been deficient in one• of its
first duties that of defending and protecting
subjects attacked in their, persons, property and
liberty. In not stopping the .English it would
have emboldened their Gov'ernment by a .dange-•
rous impunity ; it would have deprived itself
Unitarily of the means of, exchange, and come-
.quently abandoned Frenchmen, surprised by %ig-
lislt perfidy, to the despair of a detenlion which
would have had no other term than that of the
war between the two, nations. Now, if England
will not allow that her children withheld. in France,
.in consequence of a justretaliation, be legitimate
prisoners, what will she call those. whom she hai
taken from us by surprize and violence in full
peace ?. Let her give up the ships, the crews, all
the French whom she has unworthily arrested,. in
violation. 'of the faith of treaties, and then, it
will be just to open the gates to the English
who are in our hands, by the reaction even 'of her
perfidy.
f' Let us observe in passing, that besides the
prisoners which are in this situation, many others
taken in arms have also broken their parole ; but
let us for a moment forget the attempt which has
excited general indignation ; let us even suppose
the detention of the English to be illegal; and see
if Lord Castlereagh has a right to coimplain of.the
evasion of the French.

Lord Yarmouth and his worthy imitators ob-
tained their liberty under the guarantee of their
parole---in violating that guarantee-they have of-
fended the delicate sentiment of honour. Lord
Yarmouth was the first to set an example, so much
the more fatal, as its author is of the most ele-
vated rank. The unfortunate Frenchmen arrested
in contempt of the right of Nations, despoiled of
every thing in London, would'have been very cx-.
curable in flying from misfortune and vexations,
but they rather chose to suffer than debase them-
selves ; and an English Lord, enjoying among us
all the con veniencies of life, violates his word with
impunity ! He drags, by the authority which his
name gives to hies fault, a crowd of his country-
men in the same indignity—and is the Govern-
ment who, has tolerated, .even encouraged, this
subversion of all principles, to dare complain of
us?

. " Lord Castlereagh 'contrasts the officers of the
old regime with those of the new, and eulogises
the former at the eN!!ence of the latter. Without
doubt he does not comprehend, in this hypocri-
tical interest, the French,whont his Government
sent to perish on Quibeion rock, and all those un-
armed seameti, of which its 'fearful jealousy caused
the loss, to the last Man. But; without detaining
`ourseh:eS any longer with afflicting recrimins.-
tionS„ v..e are, content to take up the gauntlet
