NOILSKOE, 20.—A1l the • sick who were
•
in the hospitals of 'AlloScoW;left them on.the 15th,
16th,17tlr, and 18th inst. for Mojaisk and Smolensk.
The arbillery, caissons, the ammtmition taken, a

The bead-quartas Were the same day at Disna.
On the one s de, \the Kremlin has been armed
and fortified, nd at; the same time it has been

Some think) the _:!Emperor
,will march upon
Toula and Kalouga, to .paSs_ the winter in there
provinces, and occupy Moscow, by a garrison in
the Kremlin,

Others suppose the Emperor will blowup tke
Kremlin, .and burn the public establishments
which remain, and that he will approach withiir
an hundred leagues of Poland, to establish his
winter quarters in a friendly ciuntry, and
,-near
to receive every thing which exists in the magaL
tines of Dantiic, Koji no, Wilna, and Minsk, and
recover from the fatigues
,of war 3 the latter ob-
serve, that Moscow is distant from St. Petersburgh
180' leagues of bad road, whilst Witepsk is only
130 from Petersburgh ; that from_ doscow to
Kiow is 218 leagues, whilst from Smolensk to
Kiow is but 112.1cagueS ; from whence they con-
clude, that Moscow is not a military position, or
that Moscow possesses no longer political import-
ance, since that town is buined andinined for
100 years.
The 'enemy sheaved many Cossacks, who an-
noyed, our cavalry ; the advanced guard of cavalry
placed in advance of Veukovo, were surprised by
a horde of Cossacks; they were in the camp, before
they could '3-Ilona on horseback. They took of
General SEBASTIANI'S park of artillery 100 bag-
gag? waggons, and made about 100 prisOners.

The King; of NAPLES, mounted on horseback
with the cuirassiers and carabineers, and perceiv-
ing a column,of light infantry, of four battalions,
which the 'enemy sent to support the Cossacks, he
°Charged it, 'broke it, and cut it in pieces. Gen.
Aid,de-Catup to the King, a brave officer,
was killed in this charge, which honours the Ca-
rabineers. The ViCeroy .has arrived at -Fomen-
skoe.,—All the army is
,in march.
_ _

Marshal the Duke of TitVISO has remained at
Moscow, with a garrison.

The weather is very fine, like that in France
during October, perhaps a little warmer ; but on
the first days of November we may expect colds..
Every thing indicates we must think of Nvinter-
quarters ; our cavalry particularly require it.—The
infantry refreshed themselves at Moscow, and are
very well.--(lifoniteur, Nov. 9)
