nary for BUONAPARTE to make one desperate ef-

fort to rescue himself, and the wreck of his

Army. That effort was made, and most corn-

pletely. failed.

The details of this glorious

news were brought by a Messenger, who ar-

rived at the FOreign Office at an early hour

this morning, and in the forenoon they were

published in the following Gazette Extraor-

Foreign ggce, Dec. 16, 1812.

Dispatches, of Which the following are copies,
were received last night by Viscount Castlereagh,
one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of
State, from General ViscOunt
_Cathcart, K. T
his "Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary 'to the Emperor of Russia, dated
at St. Petershurgh, the 23d and 25th of Novem-
ber, 1812.
MY lORD, St. Pcteriburgh, ICTv• "43, 1812.
In my dispatch of the 15th instant I had the be.
*.-.our to detail such operations of Marshal Klan-
sOtV'S afniv as had come to my knowledge up to
the 9th of November; since that date no report
has been received of the further proceedings of the'
corps entrusted to General Platow. The Field-
Marshal' had calculated to reach Krasnoff on the
14th inst. but although he had approached within
a few wersts of that place, I have not beard
:that his head-quarters Were established (here on
the 16th. His last dispatch of the latter tlatean-
nonnces his intention of .forwarding a journal of,
the precoding days, which will Contain important
relations, but it has not as yet been, received.—
, On the 9th of November, Count Orloff penizoff,
being advanced on ,the roads towards Smolensko
and Kriasnoi, received intelligence of the• march
of a French corps from Smolensko in the di-
rection of Kalouga, composed of fresh troops
intended for, the different regiments of. guards
this force was under the command. of General
Barrage Dillier, having with him General Char-

penticr and Brigadier-General Augereau, bro-
ther to the Marshal of that name. They were (Hs-
' tributed in flue three villages of Yasvin,.Lakoff, and
Dolgomust. A dispoSition of attack was immedi-
ately made by three partizan corps, commanded by
Capt. Seslavin, Col. DaVidolf, and Capt..Phigner.
'The result was that the corps Mulct' Charpentier
was nearly cut to • piece,;, that Barrage Dillier
baying patiently heard a cannonade for several
• flours in the quarters of Angereau's division, made
good his retreat to Smolensk°, and that Ang,e-
- reau'.s corps of three thousand men, after losir.g
nearly one third of their number, laid down their
arms and capitulated to Captain Phigner, who
had Rot one thousand five hundred men, and who
-appears to have conducted this affair with infinite
address and gallantry.
In this corps were two squadrons of cavalry,
well mounted. The prisoners amounted to one
general, sixty staff and other 'officers, and two
thousand rank and file: The officers Who capitu-
lated stated the object of their march by that route,
was to open another communication in the direc-
tion of Kalouga'; they Werenot.aware of- the re-
treat of their army.
Since this affair, three General Officers, up-
wards of twenty pieces - of cannon, and-4000 pri-
soners have been taken near Smolenske, but 'the
particulars are not yet reported.
On the 14th instant; peneral Count Wittgen-
stein was attacked , by Marshal
,Victor, whO had
orders to. drive him to the othei side of the Dwina.
The enemy was: repulsed,- with the loss of two or

morning in his retreat towards Serino, when six
hundred prisoners were taken. I have the honour
to inclose a copy of Major-General Baron Dora
berg's report of this affair.

Nothing material occurred at this post till the
18th, when CoUnt Wittgenstein was joined by
Colonel Chernichef, Aide-de-Camp to his Imperi-
al Majesty, who bad been detached by 'Admiral
.Tshichagoff, with a small corps of light cavalry,
to discover and ascertain General Count Wittgen-
stein's position. In the course of this expedition,
the Col. had the singular good fortune to rescue
Major-General Baron Winzengerode and his Aid-
de-Camp, Captain Narishkiu, between Vilna and
Minsk ; they were proceeding/towards the fron-
tier, under an escort of gensLd'armes, and had
been marched from Verrea, where they were pre-
sented to Buonaparte, With the French guards un-.
tier the charge of Junot.
Cot.- Chernichef also took three couriers, one
coming from, and the other two going tol'aris.—,
From these sources of intelligence it is avertained
that Buonaparte was' at .Smolensko on the 13th'
instant.

Admiral Telniebagoff intended,, according to Ins
route, to arrive at Minsk on Tbelith instant.

Colonel Chernichef 'arrived at the palace' yes-
teiday, accompanied by the prisotiers he, has re-
leased, and bringing with him the intercepted dis-
patches.• • Those'frOm ra.ris contain nothing but,
military plans anii mans.
The exp.edit,F,on of Col. Cheruichef was a con-
tinued and extraordinary exertion, he having,
marched seven hundred wersts in•five days, and
swam across several rivers.

It is stated, but no official report has , been re-
ceived, that General Saclien has been left with a
detachment to observe• Prince Schwartzenberg,
and that General Dater has advanced to and oc-
cupied•Mohileff.

I have the honour to be, &c.

MY LORD,

Jamich, Gov. 15, 1812.

I am very happy to inform your Lordship, that
Victor has failed in fulfilling the orders he received
from Buonaparte, to drive Count 'Wittgenstein be-
hind:the Dwina. Be attacked yesterday morning.
Count Wittgenstein ordered the advanced guard to
retire to the Position. This was executed in a mas-
terly manner : they retired in echiquier,, under a
very heavy fire, as if it was in a field day. In the
position thapench were received hy a well-directed
fire from the artillery, hy'whieh they must have
lost a great number in killed and wounded, I sup-
pose between two andthree thousand. The firing
only ceased about seven in the evening. The
French had made strong demonstrations on both
wings, but the centre was chiefly engaged. .This
morning 'they began their retreat towards Senno.
The troops who are in pursuit:have as yet made
abort 600 prisoners. . • .

It is really a pleasure to see these troops 'fight.

The new-raised militia vie, with the' oldest re-
. •
giments. One battalion of this militia being 'with
the advanced guard, on receiving orders to fall
back, first refused to do so, saying, the Emperor
had not sent them there to retire, but to advance
and beat the ',.:netny,. which
_they were willing
to do. •

account of his having taken twenty pieces of can-
non, near the town of Krasnoff.
MY •LORD, • St.P.eteriburgh, Nov. 25, 1813.

In addition to my dispatch of the 23d instant,
I have now the happiness to inclose a translation
of reports which have been received from Field-
Marshal Prince Kutusoff, of the 10th and 20th
instant, containing the details of the total defeat
of the divisions of the French artily under the
command of Marshals Davoust and •Ney. Near
two hundred cannon, and twentylhoasand priso-
ners, have been taken in these affairs. Buona-
parte is stated to have been with Marshal Da-
voust's corps in the night from the lfith to the
)7th, and to have left the field of battle at full
speed.
Every measure of .precaution that could be
thought of at this distance, -has been provided for
by the Emperor to prevent the escape of the -enc.,
my ; and it appears that every exertion has been
made by the several commanders of corps ilar
Smolensko. Bonaparte has probably sent for-
'ward his favourite guards, the Polish divisions,
and part of the Italian ; but if Adiniral Tehicha-
goff has arrived at his ground, it does not appear
that this corps would escapeto the frontier.
The display of force before General Count Witt-
genstein's post, after the, attack; was probably
with intention to favour the movement

FIIIST REPORT, DATED THE I STII NOVEMEE7I

After the battle, near Viasina, of the 22d -Octci-
her, my army made vcry effort to turn, if not -aft
the enemy's corps, at least its advanced inard,
thie road from Telna to Krasnoi, in which it
coinpletely suceeeded on• the 170:- vacs IStil of

vanced guard, with the 2d light corps of infantry,
and' the 2d cavalry,' perceiving the Corps coin-
nianded by Marshal Davoust advance near KrAs-
noi, detached thither Lieutenant-General Prince
The enemy conceiving himst.if turned
on all sides, began to defend himself. Our artil-
lery made, a terrible,, carnage in the enemy's
ranks. Napoleon himself was an eye-witness of
the battle, and not waiting for the' issue, be fled
with his whole suite to the village of Liadani,
and abandoned the corps of Davoust.
