LONDON,

MONDAY, DECtMgEIt 7, 1812.

A Lieutenant of tie Egmont arr:ved in town

this morning- from Gottenborgh, which place le
left on the 28th Nov. Ile brings no dispatches,
but we understand they were forwarded to town
by the mail.

He reports, that a courier had arrived on that
day from Petersburgh, with the account of a great
battle having been fought on the Bth and frth Nov.
gt DorOgobusch, 50 or 60 miles to the north east
of Smolensk, between PLATOW and the united
corps of the Viceroy of Italy, and DAVOUST, in
which the latter were completely defeated, with
the loss of 12,000 killed, 3000 prisoners, and sixty -
pieces of cannon. The French retreated towards
Smolensk.

Letters had been intercepted from the Viceroy
to BERTHIER, stating the deplorable situation of
his army, and that he was daily losing from 400 to
500 horses.

There are letters from Stockholm giring details
of this great battle; and the opinion there iq, that
if the remains of the French army should reach
Smolensk, it is quite impossible it should escape
from thence, with Kull/sow in its rear, PLA-
TOW pressing on its flank, and the united armies
Of WITTGENNTEIN, Tor.MAsow, and TCHITSHA-
Cot F, ClOSil;g in front on Smolensk.

This morning two Gottenburgh Mails arrived :
the following are their contents :

OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCF. FROM ST. PETERSBURG,

OF NOV. 15.

Three several couriers, vv!'o arrived yesterday
from am-Field-Marshal Prince KUTOSOW'S army,
have brought the following information

On the 7th NOvember, Gen. MILORADOWITSCH
attacked the French rear-guard near Dorogo-
butsch, and took 800 prisoners, four pieces of ar-
tillery, and four pair, of colours ; two which
belonged to the French, Imperial Guards, were

taken on this occasion. .
On the Sth November General PLATOFF attach-
ed the Viceroy of Italy's corps, and took 3,:m0 pri-
soners, 62 cannon, and several stands of colours
The French General SAMSON is among the ntOm-
ber of prisoners.

The Field Marshal. Prince KUTUSOW is march-
ing, with the whole of his army, from Jelna to
Krasnoi. Another corps is following the French
army on the high-road to Smolensko, and the CosL
sacks harass it on all sides.

Adjutant General Count KUTU sow has left Mos,
cow, and joined himself to the first Russian van-

guard.

General COUMWITTGEN3TEIN marches on Orsza
and, it is reported, has already arrived there.
The want of provisions in the French army, and
the loss of artillery, baggage, and horses, is ex:.
ceedingly great.—(Port Tedinengar, Nov. 23.)
Further reports from Marshal Prince KUTUSOW,
'dated from the town of Bulkoivo, near Wiasma,
• sth November :

L have most submissively to report to your Im-
pc.rlal 'Majesty, that since my last report of the
Ist November, concerning General PLATow's
movements at the monastery of Kolotzk, Adju-
tant-General -Count ORLow DENIS.SOW attacked,
near to the town of Wiasma, and at several

points, the remainder of tire enemy's :egiments,
which had been beaten, and were then at that
lace. They made a desperate resistance., but
were every where beaten. In this affair
we have taken a piece of battering artil-
lery and forty baggage waggon's, and made
prisoners the Duke of BkSSANO'S Secretary, CA-
'IUSET, with the whole of 'his papers, Captain
-HARTUNG, of the Saxon Guards, the head sur-
geon, M. SCIMADHAUS, three commissaries of
Marshal Nay's corps, and 138 soldiers. General
1111LORADOWITSCH 9ttacked the enemy on the
morning of the 3d November, near the town of
IViasma.

The battle continued even until the enemy re-
treated into the town, from whence he was driven
with the bayonet, by the 11th and 26th divisions,
under Major-Generals PASCH, litwyrscu, and
TSCHOGTOKOFF. The infantry regiment of Per-
now, which was the foremost of the columns, was
the first that entered the town with colours flying
and music playing, .and made a road for the rest
of the troops over the.dead'hodies of the eneniy.
ACcording to the previous report, three of the
enemy's corps were, in the battle, namely, tUose

vousT and Nay. The lcm of the enemy is 6,000
"nen in killed and wourdled,, and 2;500 are made
in-isc.ners, among whom is the General of Artil-
lery, P 1 ,TIER, with his Adjutants, and the Ch e,
of MarshaLDAvousT's General Staff, Col: MoRET.

Our loss in killed and wounded does not exceed
500 men. After the taking of Wiasma,- our vain-
guard advanced past that place on the road to
Sinolensko, 'lnd our light troops un4r the coin-
inane! of Gen. PLATiow, piirsned the enemy from
Wiasnia, as far as Ereuinar. We have taken from'
arc, snenly One pair of colours, and 1000 prisoners,
exclusive of the sick and wounded. He has be-
sides left a great number of dead on the road.—
(Stockholm Post Teduin, Nov. 23.)

EXTRACT FROM THE JOURNAL OF MARSHAL KUTU-•
SOW'S ARMY, FROM 24tu OCTO3ER TO S.TH NO-

YEMBER.

General MILORADOWIT6CII informs me, that
the enemy left Jaroslawitz on 26th October, and
retired to Borowsk in such haste, that be left be-
hind and destroyed his baggage, and blew up his
powder chests. General AlmonArlowyrscn.made
1.00 soldiers prisoners, as also one of NArdi..F.oN's
state masters, and an officer of the King of Na-
ples' general staff.

Colonel KAIS.ERHOFF reports he has seen the
greater ,part of the, enemy's army on the way to
Bnrowsk.
