A CARD FROM CORNHILL.--It is with a great
degree of satisfaction EYTON introduces to, the
notice of his friends the Scheme of the present
Lottery, so arranged as to be drawn ;Without
elasies, by which means every number decides its
own fate, and no other. • The Capital Prizes con-
sist of two Twenty Thousands, two Ten Thou-
sands, with various other Capitals, making Thirty-
six great Prizes. The advantages which con-
stantly result to numberless individuals from a
trifle expended in a Lottery Share at Eyton's offices
need not be pointed out ; there are but few per-
sons who have not such instances amongst their
own acquaintances. No: -2, Cornbill, and 18,
Coventry-street, are Eyton's fortunate Offices
The new regulation of the Committee of Drury-
lane Theatre, by which dramatic Authors, whose
pieces were successful, but are not now -among the
number of acting plays, are deprived of the free-
dom of admission, has caused much discontent.—
As there are not many Authors` in this predica-
ment, and as some of their productions may be
represented again, this exclusion does not seem
very consistent with liberality or policy, for men
of talents may be " discouraged from writing for
the stage, lest they may be favoured with the
freedom one season, and deprived of it the next,
if from spleen, resentment, or caprice their pieces
should be assigned to the shelf.
MUNDEN is upon a provincial tour in the way
of his profession. He is engaged for a few nights
at Hull, where he is now performing.
KEMBLE is engaged to perform fora few nights
at Bath, before-his return to Edinburgh.
Captain REYNRTT, of the 52d regiment, is ap,,
pointed an Assistant in'the Quarter-Master-Gene+
ral's Department, at the Horse Guards.
The fate of Lieut. Gamage, lately convicted of
the murder of a serjeant of marines, on board his
vessel, was yesterday decided upon. We under-
stand be will be executed on. Monday next.

SUPPLEMENT
TO THE PETERSBURGH GAZETTE

OF OCTOBER 27.

The General Field Marshal Prince KutusoW
has, together with his report to his Imperial Ma-
jesty, forwarded the journal of the operations of
the war, from the 4th till the 13th of October, be-
ing its follows
On the the 4th of 'October the COlovel Prince
Wadholskji , reports, that the detached. parties
which he had sent out, have cut to pieces upwards
of 100 French marauders. The chief detachment
of the said Colonel is in the' church village of
Obuchowo, on the Wereja road. . .
OCT. 6.—The head-quarters of the Field Mar.-
shal Were removed from the church village. of Ta-
rutino into that of Letaschewlia, in the 'rear of the
camp on the Kalouga road. The Colonel Prince
-"trVdboiskji is stationed in the village of _Nokois-
koje, not far from the town of Wereja, 'from
whence he sends out parties to reconnoitre the
enemy, who have taken a Captain of Artillery,
,with the papers which he had about him, cind have
also cut to pieces.twelveof the enemy ;s marauders
•
in the village of Gorky., ,
" Lieutenant-Colonel Dawydow, w'hb com-*
mantled a particular detachment, put himself in
- march froth.Jucknow towards Wasma, and on the
28th of September, when in the view of that town
he fell upon a French detachment, which covered
a convoy of artillery ammunition, and totally de-
feated it, cutting down about 250 men on the
spot ; he took two officers and 146 privates pri-
, soners, and captured twenty waggons laden with
forage and provisions, and ten waggons with
ammunition ; Major Tumero‘v,who was detached
by him with a separate party, cut down about 100
men, took-125 prisoners, and a convoy of artillery
ammunition.

" Lieutenant-Colonel Dawydow, ovho ccanti-
, nued his operations, again appeared on the I q of
October, on the great road beta-een Semiewuja
and Wasma, towards the village of Jarenewo, at-
tacked two battalions of the.2d Polish regiment,
and a Westphalian battalion, took a Captain anti
142 privates prkpners, and burnt 100 men, who
had thrown themselves into the village, and re-
fused to surrender. At the same time, a large
number of powder chests were blown up, 72 pair
of oxen for drawing the artillery taken, and some
mills destroyed, in which the enemy were grind-
ing corn.
" Captain Figner, of the artillery staff,, with
his detachment, has destroyed all the provisions
and forage of the enemy in the vicinity ofMosk wag,
and cut down about 400 men on the spot. In the
villages between the roads Tula and SwenegorOd,
on the road of Moshaisk, they blew up a park of
artillery; rendered six pieces of battering artillery
totally pseless, and sunk them in the morass ; they
aiso Wav up 18 chests of powder belonging to.
the artillery, He, at the same time, made Fri-
soners l Colonel, 7 officers, and 58 privates, mil
cut down no inconsiderable number on the spot.
" Lieutenant Von Wisin, o the LVa Qulrds,
with a party of Costacks, inaraed on the Bo-
roviaski road, towards Moshaisk end penetrated
past the vtlh!ige of Oshegowo,.bat did n:Jt tali in
with the enemy any v.lhere. He, • however, cut
down fifteen men-or the enemy's foragers, near
the village of Dattowo, and took two prisoners. -
He states, that the inhabitants of the circle Of
rowski have. armed themselves, and that on every
appearance of the enemy the neighbouring villages
assemble at the appointed places, The said
Lieutenant has, among others, noticed about
1,000 armed peasants,, foot and horse, in the
village of Kamenskoje, who, on the sth of Octo-
ber, had driven away the enemy's foragers, of
Nwhorn they killed 1 officer and 6 privates.
" OCT. 7.—Colonel Prince Wlialbolskji states,
that he reached the Wereja road on the 4th of Oc-
tober, and had stationed himself between the vil-
lages of LilwinoWo and Nowinskoje, from whence
the parties detached by him have, at sundry
times, cut down about 200 men, among whom
was one officer.
" OCT. B.—Colonel Prince Wadbolskji reports,
under date of the 7th October, that he intends
crossing Over into the village of Sukinow, situated
between Wereja and Moshaisk; and that his par-
ties have cut clown about 100 men,. and made 16

prisoners.
" The fortified camp on the right hank of the
Nara, near the village of Tartitino, which is at
present occupied by the army, admits the. detach-
ing of considerable parties from it, who are not
only directed to make the cutting off the enemy's
marauders and foragers their object, but must like-
wise be of sufficient strength to cause the enemy
serious damage, which will be so much the more
sensibly felt as they are suffering from the want of
forage and provisions. For this purpose three nu-
morons parties have been detached to-day.
" Our. 10.—Colonel Prince Kudaschew re-
ports, that having received information of tilo•
enemy being in Niholskoje, 2, 500 strong, he
un-
expectedly attacked them with 300 Cossacks
The attack was impetuous, and the
.defeat of the
enemy complete, notwithstanding his great stir-
riority in numbers. In this skirmish General Bou-
vier was either kiUed, or.at least severely wound-
ed ; his horse was taken by the Cossacks,
" At some distance from the field of battle, the
enemy. again collected his scattered forces, and
again awaited our attack, which was made witla
the same impetuosity and success as the first. •
" Prince Kudasehew- concludes with statini,
that the enemy, after having left 100 men kiilcn,
and 200 prisoners, on the field of battie, had re-
tired on the Kalouga road, but that Prince go-
dascbew himself had taken his route on the' SerPa"
chow Toad, for farther operations. Gen. MilQo7
dowitsch has sent in four officers and 346 prison"
ers, who were taken by the van-gnard, itudor hs
command, on the 9th and 10th of October_ • • •
On the
.10th of October the army reinained,
'
its position. without making any movement. f;h9
Artillery Captain Figuer is at present bets- eat ti:e
enemy's Grand
Army and their van-guard. in
the course of two days, he has sent in foe'"
officers, and about two hundred privates,
soners.

General Field 'Marshal, which joined the .detaeh-
ment before sent out, crossed the r.zerliolscha,
and purstied the enemy into Tschegadajewa, from
whence the enemy's infantry kept up a heavy fire
of Mnsketry. The enemy.after this moved out of
the villitger, and formed in square, when the Don
Cossacks divided, and threw thetnselVes on them
with impetuosity,
.forced into the square, cut down
40 men on the spt,t, and made 60 prisoners,
among whom is Captain Fotibier, who ryas wound-
ed in the arm. All the parties detached on the
enemy's line of communication form an indivisi.
ble connection. Their successful attacks on the
enemy, and the number of prisoners which they
have made, at a time when they were tar less
in number than they are at present, are a security
for the certain event which they have now before
them. . •

" Twenty-four additional regiments of Don
'CoSseAs,- have lately joined the army. Such a
`conslderable augmentation to the irregular troops,
gives certain means of causing the greatest iujnry
to the enemy."

With the' above journal of the warlike opera-
tions, the Field-Marshal has likewise transmitted
the folio ,ving information, issued by him to the
army :

" Head-Quarters, Church-village of Lckschewka,
October 12.
" The army remained, for' more than a week,
dear tothe village of Tapitino„ on ,the right bank
of the Nara ; and by being in perfect ,quiet, de-
rives, from thence, fresh strength. The rcgi-
lnents are made complete by the troops arriving
from different Governments, and which are-formed
• by 'the General of infantry, Prince Lobanow Itos-
rowSkji. The recruits, who are burning with ar-
dour to engage the enemy, arc exercised in the
Our cavalry horses having plenty of fo-
rage and good water to drink, have recovered in
a remarkable mannto . The supply of provisions is
-so well regulated, that the army does not stiffer
the least want, -and the i„;reat roads leading to the
army are: covered with transports, wi.ich come
from all the most fruitful Governments, in tio, vi-
cinity of which the army is stationed.
and soldiers who have recovered their health are
daily johing it. The siCk and those wounded in
the field of honour, being in the middle of Russia,
among their relations and fel:ow-citizens, receive
every support and attention, whiCh can only 'be
expected from mothers and wives, from brothers
and children.
• " Tlie force of the enemy being thrown into
disorder, does not permit him to make any attempt
against us. By the distance from his horde's, he
is deprived of all sources of assistance ; lis'sup-
pli, with provisions becomes mote difficult from
hour to hour, and the prisoners unanimously re-
late, that horse-flesh is used for food in their
army ; notwithstanding that they have still more
flesh than bread'. But the horses of the ene-
my's artillery and those of their cavalry suffer
most. The greater 'part of the latter 'have been
destroyed in the several engagements; especially
in that so glorious to the Russian arms on the
-7111 of September, and the rest of the cavalry re-
giments suffer the: greatest want of forage, the
enemy's army being_ surrounded by our parties,
Which cut off every communication with them:
The enemy is so hemmed in with regard to the
proc:riog of forage, that he cannot send his
foragers out, - unless they are protected by Litrong
Convoys, but which areuevertheless overpowered
by our parties. Strong detachments from our
army are on the roads of Moshaisk, Peters-
burgh, Kolomna and -Serpnehow ; -and seldom
a day passes in. which 300 men and upwards
are not brought in prisoners. Even the pea-
isantry of the villages situated near the theatre of
of war, 'cause exceeding great damage to the
,enemy.
" The Russians, who have in all ages distin-
guished themselves above all other nations by their
love andattachment to the throne of their MO-
ne:'chs, .now likewise etnttlate each other with in-
describable energy in the destruction of the ene-
YIV,: who .has violated the repose of their native
soil. The peasants, fired with love of their birth
places, form armaments among themselves.
"-It occurs tnat several neighbouring -villages
keep guards on high places, and on church
steeples, from - Whence they beat and ring the
alarm on sight of the; enemy. On this signal, the
-peasants assemble, fall with desperation on the
enemy, and %yin not quit the field of battle till
they have obtained a complete victory. Ihey
cut down the enemy in great numbers, and
those ,whom they take prisoners they send to
the army. Daily they come to head-quarters,
and entreat e n,icstiv for - fire arms and ear,'

tridges for their defence against the enemy,--.-
1 The requests of these tv6rthy peasants, these
true sons of their country are satisfied as much
as possible, and they .are supplied with
mus-
kets, pistols, and powder. In several. villages they,
join themselves by oath for their mutual defence ;-
and that in such IL manner, that a severe .punish -
rnent is inflicted in every case, wherein any one
shall behavelike a coward,' or: wlierain he, leaves
another in danger. The power of {god, who: pro-
tects the just, and punishes the guilty, has now di-,
rected its vengeance against our enemies.
" We have this moment received the
of the Spaniards- and English having defeated the.
French, and taken possession of Madrid ; and thus
will our enemies everywhere meet with defeat.
They have come to, the extreme , parts of Eurdpc
and having penetrated thrpugh the borders of
Russia, will.probably find their graves in the bo-
som of our native country."
