SOLEM QUIS DICERS FALSUMs.4OIIEAT ?

LONDON,

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER-7,-1812.

A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning. The
accounts from Peterourgh claim a decisive vic-
tory in the battle of Moskwa, on the 7th Ult, and
state that MURAT (King of Naples) arittNtvr were
among the' prisoneri,' and :DivousT -among the
killed. The victory, as onr.Re.aders will recollect,
. • -.
was asserted m.the bighteetith Bulletin to be on
the side of the French, and guns were fired in
France, and a dizdered to celebrate it.
. . .
We find, on the other hand, that 101 great guns
• .• .•
vs-ere discharged at Petershurgh, and the city il-
luminated, to celebrate the victory
.uhich the
.. • .
Russians claim as the result of this very same
battle. It will probably turn out that there
was not a decisive victory on either side ;
but that it may be more. truly described
as a drawn battle, which, however, is un-
doubtedly to the French, under the circum-
stances in which they are placed in Russia, equi-
valent to a defeat. ,The papers also contain the
Russian official amount of the Battle of Smolensk.
The following are extracts :

PETELISRURGII., G 30, (Siit.ll) have,
thank God,- gloriOns. news from the interior. ,No
news of the battle is published yet, and. conse-
quently we cannot discriminate what is official
from what siSTonly report. Certain :it is that a
general and bloody battle was-fought on the 26th,
O. S. not very far fromMnkow,. in which
the whole .of the two Grand Armies were en-
.gaged, and the enemy completely .defeated. It
is said thelmage of the Virgin Mary.was brought
from the Cathedral of Moscow,' and pßata e,d. in front
of tbeßussian Army before the battie j:6911 wru-
sovi,.antl all his officers, then pledged, themselves
by a solemn oath, to conquer or clie. ;ThiS' operated
an the Russian armylike electricity, and the at-.
tack instantly commenced with an impetuosity
beyond all example. The slaughter of the enemy
is said to lie immense, and be was already driven
13 worsts from the field of battle, when the dis-
patch .was' sent off, which was done before any
account of the number of the killed, wounded,
and prisoners could be made up, that the account
might reach the Emperor yesterday, being St.
Alexander's day.
This intelligence at rived just asthe'lmperial
Family *ere going to church, and it may: easily
be imagined with what grateful feelings the Te
.Deunm (always sung on that day)• was celebrated.,
The victory was announced to the public by the
discharge of, 101 great guns from the Citadel, and
-the town illuminated in the evening.
It is said that DAvousT is among the killed ;
MunAT and NE? among the priioners.

of the expedition has arrived at Riga, where it is
supposed they Will change the garrison for the

OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FROM GENERAL BARCLAY
DE TOLLI, DATED. ii OLZE, 9, '(2Dit:uo. 1812..

After my last official report to your, 'lmperial
Majesty, very important events have: Liken place
respecting the positions of the army.
On the 3d ( lsth) August, a report was received
from Major-General NEWERAUSKYE, that the
enemy, who advanced in great force towards
Krasmow, hild pushed on his advanced guards to
Lady ; in the mean time I also received informa-
tion that NAPOLEON had left Witeptk, and concen-
trated his whole force nearßalomoutzchy, Orocha,
and Dubrowna.

In consequence of this, it was immediately
determined that the 2d Army should march to
Smolensk, and after uniting ail its corps on the
left bank of the Dnieper, halt. The lst Army was
o approach Smolensk, or act offensively, should
.be enemy divide his forces. On the night of the
same- day" LieutenaTit General RAsEw3s-.1 -re-
.-ported that Major General Nr\VEAUSKYE, after
having been attacked by a superior force, had
found himself under the necessity of retreating,
after having suffered considerable loss, and that he
was only 7 wersts from Smolensk. All the other
accounts agreed,in stating that the enemy with his
whole force were passing to the left bank of the
-Dnieper, in Consequence of which, without loss
- time, I immediately put the army in, motion,
I in the night of- the 4th (16th) arrived near
:nolensk, just as the enemy were making a heavy
tack on Lieutenant-General RAJEWSKE'S COTS•
affair has already been niaiie:,kpnwn to
-Ctiief of

the 2d army, and .scr,v-ea at a new proof of the
invinci;ile courage of your Majesty's troops.
Having aseert:ained that the enemy concentrated
their whole force at one polnt, and had even drawn
Prince pornATowstces corps to their assistance,
it was to be supposed, his real intention
was to anticipate us. in Dorogulush, or 'any other
pojnt by which he might. obtain possession of the
Moscow road. Taking this. :into. consideration,
we ditertniued,•together with-Prince BAGRATION,
that'tbc 7th, Army should Occupy Smolensk, arid
remain on the right bank. (at the Dnieper, and by
that means cover the march of the 24 Army to
Dorogolush. In the night . betwenn the 4th
and. sth (lali*-sand 17th) this plan was' exe-
cuted.

The sixth corps, to which was attached the 3d
division of infantry took possession of Smolinsk
and all the out-posts.

The 2d army, which put itself in motion on the
same night, took its position 1.5 worsts from Sine,-
lensk, and sent the, irregular troops towards Jilnce
and Rosbowl to observe the enemy. Meanwhile
the enemy_ concentrated their whole force, and
brought 150,000 men against Smolensk.
Ott the sth (17th), at one p. m. they attacked
our troops, who were drawn up on the road from
Xroino and other points round Smolensk, but
after an engagement; - which continued without
intermisgion 'for three hours, they were repulsed
.at every point. At sp. m. after bringing a strong
column of their forces, and an uncommonly nume-
rous artillery forward, they attacked the city in every
direction, but all their efforts and endeavour's
were vain although they drove back our advanced
troops even to the ruins of the walls of Smo-
lensk, and appeared determined to storm the city,
our valiant troops not only defeated them back to
such a distanee, that at night our advanced guards
were placed without the wall's. -The attack of the
enemy was very impetnous, but they received
their recompence in their loss, which was so in-
credibly great that ours bears no proportiOn to it,
although we had 4,000 killed or wounded.

Our intention in defending Smolensk was to ar-
rest the enemy, and prevent their arrival at Jana
and Dorogulush, and thereby give Prince BAGRA-
TION time to arrive, without opposition, at the
latter place ; the further defence could have
been no longer .useful, but only on the contrary
have occasioned the loss of our valiant sol-
diers, for which reason, after having success-
fully repulsed a severe attack, I determined,
in the night between the sth and 6th (17th
and 15th) to leave it ; but still keeping possession
of the suburbs, called St. Petcrsburgh, and with
the whole army take possession of the heights
opposite Smolensk, and to appear as if Ntaiting
their attack.

The enemy, after garrisoning the town, skir-
mished the whole day with our Yagers, who were
posted in the suburbs of which during the whole
evening; they attempted to take possession, but
were constantly driven back. 'Nevertheless, dur-
ing the night they succeeded in throwing a
bridge across above the suburbs and in re-
pairing the old one in the suburbs.
At 7 p. m. when no further attack from the enemy
was. expected, a part of the army which formed
the 2d column of the 2d and 3d corps of cavalry
and sth and 6th of infantry, and a part of 'NNW--
General NEWERO\VSKYE, under General DOCK-
Toßow, put themselves' in motion, and conti-
nued their march through Sakilena, Bisklow, &c,
At nine r. m. the first column, consisting of the
2d, 3d, and 4th divisions of infantry, and of the
first four of:reserve of cavalry, under the com-
mand of Lieut. General Ki.TruSow, marched by
the way of- Kracbatschens, Gcdonow, &c. to the
high road of Dorogoiush, but the troops
under the command of Major General. BARAS-
KORF who garrisoned the Petersburgh suburbs,
marched on the• 7th, (19) two hours after mid-
night, and formed the rear guard of -the- front
colurrin.

[We are compelled by want of time and space
to postpone the remainder of this account till to-
morrow.]

Since the above we have received the following
account of the action, which the Russians call
the battle of Borodin.

Further intelligence of the Battle of Borodin which had
reached Stockholm on the evening of the VA September :
On the sth of September 4 Eagles and 8 tan-
•nons were taken from the enemy. The same day
and the following evening were taken 4000 pri-

soners.
On the 7th, General PLATOFF, detached with
all the Cossacks of the army, were fn pursuit of
the enemy, 15 wersts in advance from the field of
battle.
Among the wounded are Generals Prince BA"
ORATION, LEUCIIKOFFS (the first), the Prince

The Owerriere was originally a French frigate,
and captured by the Blanche frigate, Captain Sir
THOMAS LAVIE, off the Ferroe Islands, after, a
severe engagement of three-quarters. of an hour,

frigates 'which had effected their .or.eape from a
French port, and greatly annoyed the. ships em,
ployed in the Greenland fisher j. The number of
guns mounted at the time was 50, with a ample,
ment of 317 men, and commanded by MonSienr
IktEaT, a Member' of the Legion of 'Honour.—
In that affair the enemy lost 20 men killed, and 30
wounded, of which 10 were dangerously. The

our'navy, consisted of twenty-eight 18-pounders,
sixteen 32-pounders earronnades, and two guns,
