Colonel EssnmorP has male" 40 prisoners.

All the prisoners which Colonel. K.AisEnnory
made on the 28th October report that the ene-
my was in full retreat to Sinolcnsko.
On the 28th, General KARSAW reported that
the enemy's rear-guard being forced to quit 13o-
rowsk, bad set tire to the toWn, and taken the
road to Winga. .

General PLyrow reports, on the 29th that nine
reghnentis of Cossacks were in pursuit of the
enemy, who was retiring . towards Smolensk°,
that he himself, at the head of 20 regiments, was
in hopes.of gaining a day's march on the enemy,
and to fall on his flank near Ghcatck. Major-
General howmgfcr, with ten regiments, is al-
ready acting on the enemy's flank ; the prisoners
taken by him already amount to a very consider-
able number.

Err. Aaron?' states, that one of his detach-
ments has made 50 prisoners. Gen. PLATow'S
engagement with the enemy, at the Monastery of
Kototik
,has.already bcea given in, a separate Bul-
letin. General PLATOW reports, on the Ist Nov.,
that the enemy's army. does not retire, but flies,
on all sides; in such haste 'as never before has
been witnessed. It marches day and night, lenv-
iAg behind it all its sick and wounded, and all its
baggage. The roads are every
.where covered with
his dead and dying Men.
Within the space of two days, and in the view
of General PLATOW, the enemy has blown up 100
ammunition chests, and been obliged to' leave as
many more in our hands. lie has several times-
attempted to make a stand, but the Don Cossacks
and- the artillery have, after his having shewn
some resistance, obliged him to take flight again,
and continue pursuing him incessantly ; he has
not a moment's rest. •

The' Cossacks 'disturb and plague him to the
very letter, night and day. The enemy's cavalryis in such a miserable state, 'that the infantry is
obliged to defend it. We have found 800 cid-
lassiers, whom the enemy had left . behind, on the
great
high road. Cot. DAvlnsow has taken 70 ba -
gage waggons on the road to Wiasma, and nride 6
'officers and 225 soldiers prisoners. The General of
Cavalry, Pr-vrow, reports, that Col. KAISEIIIIOFF
took the adrintagc of a thick fog to surprise the
enemy's waggon train. The French who were
ignorant of our real strength, took to flight, and
were
,pursued by our Yagers with. great im-
petuosity.

One Piece Of artillery, the greatest part of the
park, and the waggon train, together with a very
rir:ll,booty,_fell into the hands of our ,soldiers. ,

On the 2d November the Adjutant General
ORLow Dzxissow attacked the enemy at several
points, near IViasina„ and, notwithstanding the
desperation with which. the French fought, they
wore driven back rlt all point 3.
We have taken .one piece of cannon, and 40
waggons laden with.a large quantity of articles
forsaken by the entluy It .was in this,affair that
CAmt7SET, the Duke of BASSANO'S Secretary, Was
taken, with the whole of his papers ; HARMING,
Captain in the Saxon Guards ; the Head-surgeon
SCHWABLIAUS, and three Commissaries'of Mar-
shal NEY'F.i corps, anal 130 soldiers, were likewise
taken prifnniers,

On the 3d Nov., Gen. MILORADOWITZCII came
np with the enemy by a flank March, and attacked
his left wing. Gen. PL: Tow being strengthened
with l'As C 11K Z g division,' attacked him
likewise on his right side.
The Combat was. continued even to Wiasina,.
from which place. the enemy teas driven away by
the bayonet. The regiment of Pernow marched
irtto the town with colours flying and mut,ic•play-
jug, and made the way for the other regiments
over heaps of dead.
The corps D.IVOUST, NEY', and the Viceroy of
Italy, have suifered much in this action. Their
035 amounts to 6000 men killed, and 2500 pri-
soner*, among whom is General PELTIER, with
his adjutants,, and Colonel MoRET, chief of Mar-
shal DAvousT's general staff.
Our van-guard is already advanced beyond
%Viasinii. The French were pursued till very late
in the night.

points, and driven even as far as Ererina.
,The
field of battle was . covered with dead, and more
than 1000 men were taken prisoners.

This morning we received Paris Papers. to,,t'oe
3d instant inclusive, from which the following are

extracts :

PARIS, DEC. 3.—Agreeably to the Imperi;d Dd
cree of the 19th of February, 1806, the Anniver-
sary of the Coronation of his Majesty the Ent,
peror will be celebrated in Paris on Sunday, the,
6th of December.—(Journal ale Paris, Dee. 3.)

FRANKFORT, Nov. 23.--The number of French
and allied troops who passed through Frankfort
during the month of October, were very consi-
derable.—(Same Paper.)
WArts:)..w, Nov. 16.—Since the last time that
the General Confederation spoke to the nation
regenerated, the course of events have been of
- the 'highest importance, and are still too recent to
the mind to require they shOuld be called to re 7
menibranee, they are too great 'and too striking
to allow any thing to he added to their eclat
Our brave Chevaliers have already proved, and in
an incontestible manner, what', great sacrifices
.they are capable of making in the sacred cause of
their country. Brit a field not less vast opens it-
self to the inhabitants of the inheritance of our
ancestors, who have hitherto remained tranquil ;
whilst the first make so many sacrifices, and even
that of their persons to the country, the -latter
should also make new efforts, the infallible success
of which promises to all the most sweet and bril-
liant reconipence.
At this very moment the General Confederation
has issued the following Address to the Polish
nation, which we hasten to communicate
" Polish Nation !=—The. general cause, which
the force of arms maintains and defends before the
face of the whole world, also yoizt own. cause;
you will reap the most" precious fruits of so many
bloody battles, brilliant victories-.-grand actions
and fatigues of the greatest of heroes. The point
is the existence of your name, conseqttently of ail
you can or ought to hold dearest in the world : •
you ought consequently to serve as an example--
to surpass in courage and zeal all other-nations
which come to draw you front the chaos into
which you• were plunged---7to confirm to the
frontiers of Europe their own safety, which your
fall had shakc, you should employ all the- re-
sources of your strength and genius to support
that, to you so important and sacred a cantraet.
But you do not want encouragement for making
new cants. There are no sacrifices which ought
to feel painful to those who have sworn at the
foot of the altar of the country to sacrifice every
thing for it, to surmount all obstuele, and to
preserve for posterity the .advantages which they
shall have obtained.

Marshal MAR:kiwiT. arrived on the 27th Nov. at
Bourdeaux, front Bayonne. His Excellency con-
tinued, his journey for Pari. the following
(Journal de' t Empire, 3.)

he following extract of a letter, which, though
not of recent date, is very interesting, and comes
from a person of high distinction, upon whose
authority we caq place the fullest confidence.

" ST. PETERSBURGH, Ocr. 25.—Our news
from the armies •is most satisfactory. General
WITTGENSTP.IN carried
,Polotzlc by storm, with a
dreadful carriage, and marches on Smolensko.—
Gthreral WINZIX.ERODE insults the French for-
tifications of Moscow daily, and BL'ONAPARTE...
fights not for victory, but for life. His idea was
to Sign peace at. Moscow out from the moment
when it was proved that no terms whatever would
be listened t., the danger of his situation became
fully apparent : with an enemy's army in front,
equal in numbers and increasing daily, and lately
victorious at Borodino, his own force diminishing
at every step, his communications every hour in
danger from the clouds of Cossacks and the armed
peasantry, a regular force gradually closing upon
his rear, strong enough to oppose with success
any attempt at rein forcing•him, the wanton burn-
ing of MoscoW,. destroying all the magazines, the.
impossibility of foraging in an hostile country,
the autumnal season in a,morassy country, added
to the loud diScontent of his army, were
-sufficient, you will say, to appal the stoutest
heart. By an intercepted letter, written from
him to SAVARY, at Paris, he orders him to pub-
lish ." that Moscow hating been taken, his objects
had been fulfilled, the . Kremlin was to, be for-
tified, anti he thought of returning to Paris."
This is his old trick, to• which the French
are sc accustomed, that, a fortnight ago,
the, prisoners declared, that, in the dreadful staze
of his army, his flight was daily looked for : the
battle has ere this taken place; what may be the
result, God knows ; but there is every reason to
say, that all here arc firm : if they continue so,
a Friedland will not save NAPOLEON. The people
are so exasperated, that no one who mentions Peace
is
.sale at the. artily...*

PEROR.

Silepska, ')et. 2(►, (Nov. 1).,

Your Imperial Majesty will have perceived, by
lily lamer cOminunications, that the intention of
the enenlysi a; t go round me, and by that means
to get to Kalbuga; and' force his way into out
most fruitful provinces. This determined me to
abandon the -old Kalouga road, and to occupy the

nen, one. By this I,;oyeinent I anticipated the

enemy. at MaloyaroShiritz. A considerable corps
of the enemy was, sat the same time, on•the road
from Moshaisk tOKalouga. At Maloydroslavitz

the enemy was beaten back. I then, with the
greatest part of my army, went to -2vledyne, where
A e enemy, in the mean time, ' was detained by a
lapsly of Cossacks.

The enemy, fin:ling himself anticipated Oil all
the roads, began to retire thrOugh Vereya, on the
Moshaisk road. - In conseqtience of thiS' I made
the'following' disposition : 'my army marches di-
rect•upon Viasrna; the corps of General
Tilora-
dovitz (which forms nearly the half of my force),
follows the enemy in a parallel line, between me.
and the Moshaisk roads ; and ail the troops .froda,
the Don have received orders to anicipate the enemy,:
to destroy all the Inidges, to break up the roads,

and to give him all possible annoyance.
As I was about to dispatch the courier with
This communication,: I received a report from-the
General of Cavalry., Plata, dated 19th Oct. (31st),
while marehing, in which he 'says :

" This morning, at dawn, I attacked, with
two brigades, the left wing of the enemy's rear
guard. The alarmed enemy then continued his
retreat ; I caused him to befollowed ou the flanks
With Cossacks and artillery, whilst I threw myself
upon his rear with cannon and Cossacks. The
enemy several times halted, and skewed
,against
us infantry and cannon ; but, threatened in his
flanks and rear, he was still compelled to retreat.
Ile seemed disposed to make a stand on time height
peal-Toe convent of licdotzk'; but our artillery
obliged him to
,betake himself to flight, and we
took 20 pieces of cannon. In consequence, of this
fortunate attack bythe Cossacks, two entire batta-
lions were annihilated, and I send your Excellency
their two standards. The enemy's loss is v ei.y con-
siderable, as the Cossacks took but few prisoners.
To-say only about a hundred have been brought

The'battle continues, and I shall again have
to report -to your Excellency when it is ended, and
I shall send your a list of all those who have dis-
tingnisbed themselves.

" Yesterday Major General Ilovaisky cut down
more than 500 men, I shall follow the enemy,
and make him suffer dreadfully. His rear-guard
it now pas-sing .Gridneve. His army may perhaps,
be at'Gschatz this day. On the road,from the
Convent to Moshaisk, the-enemy left more than
-500 horses behind hint, and a great number of
carts and 'baggage. He must suffer much front
want of provisiOns and forage. He even caused
Lis powder waggons to be blown up."
Tire original report of General.Platoff T inclose,
and your Majesty will see, that at the Convent of
Kolotzk, the enemy had made a: stand, but were
attacked and made to fly by General Platoff. He
took 20,cannous and two standardS, The enemy
retreated in such haste, that he burned all his
Leavy baggage and powder waggons; and.diiring
the night he even marched his artillery by the
light of lanthorns:
