MY LORD—I have the pleasure to acquaint your.
Lordship that the guns are now firing, and -Te
Dowz is to be sung to-morrow in the cathedral,
for a most brilliant affair on 'the 18th, between
the advanced guard-of the French mud 11u3sian ar.;
mies near Moscow, in which the former, under
Murat, were defeated with great loss; and for
the deliveratlce of Moscow by Gen. Winzingerode,
on the 22d October.

The Bulletin is.not yet published, but I have the
honour to inclose a copy of the note I have this
morning received, by the Emperor's command. /

I have also inclosed a translation. of the official
accourit of the defeat of Marshal St. Cyr, by
Count Wittgenstein, and of the storming of Po-
lotzk on the 20th October, as also that of the re-
pulse of Marshal Macdonald's Corps by General
Stringel.
Lieutenant-General Count Wittgenstein has
been promoted to the rank of General of ca-
valry, and Te Deum for his victory was sung yes-
terday.

It appears that Prince Schwartzenberg has re-
tired to the, westward, leaving some corps which
had been cut off; that the province of Volbynia
is entirely cleared of the ebemy; and that Ad-
miral TchichAgoff may probably have reached
Minsk about or soon alter the 21st October.
I have the honour to be, eic.
(Signed) CATHCART.

St. Pttersburgh, Oct. 27, 1812.

On the 18th October Marshal fiutusow baxing
learnt that the corps of Victor bad quitted Smo-
lensk to reinforce the Grand Army, resolved to
attack the advanced-guard, under the orders of
Murat, being 4.5,000' stiong, in face of our troops,
in order to defeat the same before the junction of
Victor, and before Napoleon could support him
with the main body of his army. The attack
completely succeeded, 38 pieces of cannon fell
into our hands, as well as a statdard of honour
belonging to theist regirnerit of cuirassiers. We
have made 1590 prisoners, amongst whom is a
General ; 2000 men were left on the field of bat-
tle. Our loss is inconsiderable.

On the 22d, the corps of General Winzingcrode
entered Moscow, and obliged the garrison wl►ikh
the enemy had left in it, to evacuate that capital
in such haste, that the French hospitals remained'
in our power.
