REPORT TO THE MAJOR-GENE ;'

"MY LORD,--I suppose that theDultit of Reg=
zio will have rendered your Highness an account
of the day of
,the 17th, or .at least up to the mo-
. Bent when his wounds forced him to quit the field
-of battle; during-the .renlairider of that day, 'the
troops continued their _successes, and. at nine in
the evening. the Russians' were -repulsed. at every
point,. atter having suffered she most considerable
osscs, having, attempted, iu the course of the.
day, six .or 'seven attacks, which were repulsed..
.with a bravery superior to the infatuation which
brought them thither. This affair Alircr,vg the
highest honour on the division of Le Grand,whipli
Novas placed at the branching of the roads tcp
and to Nevil, and,on the Bavarian carps placed •
• on the left bank of the Pelota, in the tear of the
village of Spas, which the enemy was dttermined
to retake, notwithstanding his having beeti :driven
out of it five or six times ; and the 20th. division,
as also Genera De Wrede who commanded it,
have covered themselves with glory. The Bava-
rian General, Vincenti, who' is entitled to praiSe
for the manner in which he conducted himself,
was there wounded.
" In the evening of that day I feltthe necessity
of attacking the enemy. I took •my measures for
Making the attack on the 18th, at four o'clock in
the afternoon. I have performed impossibilities
• to deceive the enemy concerning my intentions.
. Towards one o'clock, I caused the equipage of the
army, which was in the rear of Polotsk, to file off
on the left bank of the Dwina, on the road to
.Oulu. I made an appearance as if I would cause
this movement to be covered and protected by the
troops, which -Marshal the Duke of Reggio had
caused to repass-to the left bank. In the night
between the 16th and 17th, they reunited bellind
l'olotsk, at the tail of the, equipages ; the divi-
alon. of cuirassiers arrived there from Serneneta ;
• and the brigade of light cavalry of Generartastex,
from Rondina. r.
• " At three in the afternoon the column'of bag-
, gage had filed in sight of the enemy; and the troops
above-mentioned repassed the Dwina with the
greatest part of the French artillery, and entered
Qlotsk. About five o'clock, all the troops and
artillery were in a position to debouche upon the
enemy without their even. having observed our
Preparations. At. five precisely, all jlie artillery
°Pened its fire, and our columns of infantry de-
uouched under its protection to attack the enc-.

of that village, connecting itself by its left to Ver-
dict's division, a brigade of which observed the

REPORT OP THE PRINCE OF ECKMUHL TO TUR
PRINCE MAJOR-GENERAL DOUBROWNA, THE-7TH

AUGUST.
MONSEIGNEUR,

I have the hononr to lay before your Highness
the report of the affair which took place on the
23d July, in front of Mohilow, between a part
of the troops belonging to the Ist corps, and the
Russian corps under Prince BA RATION.

I entered Alohilow on, the 20th, and on the
2lst the 3d regiment of chassenrs were attacked
by the vanguard of PrinceBAG'gATION, who wished
to occupy this important town. Pie regiment
lost 100 men, and were driven out.

On the 22d .1 placed in po4tion the 83d regi-
ment of infantry of the line, commanded' by Gen.
FREDERICK. General 13,‘GRATIoN was arrived at
Novoi 13rickow ; lie intended giving battle, in
order to enter Mohilow ; he had four divisions of
infantry, 5000 Cossacks, and 8000 cavalry, being
in tbe whole 35,000 men. I had at, Nlohilow,
only the 57th,- 6lst, and 111th ecgiments of the
division of Campans (the 23d,. together with the
brigade of PajOland the Ist of chassenrs, I had
left on the Berezira to cover Minsk), the 83th
and the 108th of the Division DEssmx, General
VALnNge's Division of Cuirassiers, and the third'
of Horse Chassenrs.

The position of Salta Naecla, of :which I here
With transmit youk Highness a sketc appeared
to me a proper place for. duly receiving the enemy.
In the night of the Vjd, I caused the bridge which
lies on the grand route to • be. harrica,doed, and
destroyed the inn which is situated next to it. The.
mill-bridge on the right was cut 'by a company of
Sappers, and the houses in, the neighbourhood
pulled clown. , The 85th was charged with
.the
defence of these posts, and in case of being
tacked, to keep them., in order to give thne'Thr
the other troops stationed between this place and
Mohilow to arrive, •

These
.dispositions being taken, I myself re-
tired to Mobilow; to press the arri-al of the di-
viSion Claperede, and of the troops detached by
General Pivot,.

On the 23d, at 7 o'clock in the morning, I_ re-..
ceived a report of the advanced posts being attack-
ed. At 8 o'clock I found the 83d regiment very
spiritedly attacked ; - General FREDERICK, who
commanded it, had taken good dispositions, and
during the whole of the day has shewn much Cool-
ness and great intrepidity. The light artillery of
his division, and that of the 85th,-had been disposed
on the' preceding evening.
Their fire was very mischievons, and in about
an hour after the combat began they had already
killod. above .500- Russians. Twelve or fif-
te©n pieces of Russian artillery came out of the
•
wood, and were ranged in order of battle on the
mill plain, where the bridge had been destroyed.
The Russian regiments of infantry formed them-
selves. A battalion of the 108th was sent to
sustain the companies of the 85th, which were on
the bridge. Some pieces of artillery were opposed
to those of the Russians.

The combat became exceedingly lively on this
side, and the enemy's force increased with every
I.llolTiein. The battalion of the 108th, which had
repulsed the 'Russians, was obliged to yield.to
numbers. General GUYARDET, with two batta-
lions of the 61st, stopped the 'enemy's pursuit,
and caused the Russians to repass the ravine, who
had crossed it in pursuing the battalion, of the
108th.

tVhilst these !lainp were passing on the right,

fc7l.ed the debouche of the great roact.with.inuch
to cause one battalion of the 108th; and
c6:lopanies'of the klib; to pass the defile and
charge-. the enemy's -cannon. Movement,
which Was executed with great precisicm, .titd di=
rected by .Colonel ACiLiizii Of the 108th regimeut,
had a great effection the motions Of the. enemy's
left, which found itself obliged to make a retro!
Bade movement: The battAion cbminanded by
,
Colonel AcH Atn had taken:prisonerS
,olie of the.
enemy's battalions, .but Which was afterwards de=
livered: The Colonel i'as wounded by a ball
across'hii arm, and could not sustain Himself on
100 heights Which be had occupied.

The enemy had caused a ennSiderahle body to
advance; formed in a closeedlunin, again to un-
dertake forcing the defile of the bridge. Thii
found itself: in the directiOn' Of the Chef D'Es-
cadidn • Pot.siky, who 'had stopped it by a Vert
lively fire, and caused it to s6taiti a, great
The enemy'i.nuinber in dead, which at this point
wag very Considerable, was thereby doubled.
The action was continued with great heat on
both sides; and with. a great inferiOrty_ on -our
'side:

The other troops were in reserve On our right;
where it was to be presumed that the enemy
would' bring forward his force, and inoie espe'cial-
ly his numerous cavalry. Towards six o'clock- in
the evening all my reconnoitring parties oii the
right not having seen the enemy, the troops
Which 'bad been there kept in
-reserve, and in par-
ticular the 111th, were directed to take the great
road. Gen. FREDERICK' received orders to renew
his attack.

A battalion of . the 35th .which since . evening-
-4a4: been` placed at the extremity of the right
wing, and one of the 61st, attacked the left of the
enemy. The two attacks Were attended with sue-
Cess. The enemy drew back his artillery, and his
troops followed the'movement at all Points. The
111th regiment and the 6lst of the sth division, led.
by General COMPAINTS; were. charged to pursue the
enemy as far as Novosieleke ; the night put an
end to the pursuit at this place. I owethe great-
est eulogiums to the- condnct:of the troops, and
particularly to that of the 85th regiment. Not
one soldier ever quitted hiS- post to conduct the
wounded, and both, the young soldiers and the 'old
ones have shewn the greatest %valour. The ancient
soldiers have given their youthful cOmrades the
honourable testimonial of not having any con.-
scripts More in their regiments..

The loss.ot the enemy has been great. They
left more than 1,200. (lead on the field .of battle,
exclusive of leaving 4000 wounded, 7 or 800
of whom have remained in our hands.

Our loss, aecoyding, to the state of the corps,
amounts to 900 men killed, wounded, and made

prisoners.

I reiterate the enlogies.v.-hich I owe to the con-
duct of 'General FREDERICK, to all the Officers of
the General Staff who have paid.well in their per:-
-sOns.... One of' thew, Aid.-de-Ca'mp to General
LIAx.o, was .killed. •

I take advftntage of this occasion to beg your
HighneSS would request his Majesty to grant re.-
cqulPences.for several of.them,,and herewith join
the state of them to that of the' officers, sub-
officers, and privates of the 4th and sth di-Visions,
who have:merited to be cited with distinction .--
I solicit your Highness- to lay 'these statements
before his'Majesty, and to request his, favour in
their behalf.

REPORT OF THE GENERAL STAFF OF THE misTßrAk

ARMY.
The enemy, forced into the defile of Kiasibrad,
marched the whole of the night, between the 10th
and I lth, towards Horodetzka ; he was joined en
his retreat by the troops which he had sarawn from
KOhryn,-as likewise by the detachment of Knor-
ring, and after having passed the defile of lioro-
detika, he placed himself on the heights beyond
that place. •
The right flank and the front of this position
were covered by a mora_4l which was: impassable
for more than a thousand paces in breadth, and
left only
"two poipts open to get at the enemy;
that is the dike, which- at Horodetska forms the
post road. This post is near to that of Podubno,
its left touched this la.st village, and he had cut
up, by his artillery, the entrance to the two de-
files.
On the 11th I marched to Horodetska, and oc-
cupied the head of the defile; the 7th corps, rein-
forced by two regiments of cavalry and two bat-
teries upon Szabra. They reconnoitred die ene-
my. The reports of prisoners and deserters state
,
.theu force at 5%000. They certainly were at
"least 35,000, with 60 pieces of cannon. Ton-
thsow commanded in person. General REGNIER,
who Was charged with reconnoitring the left of
the enemy, found that they had neglected to oc-

tent with observing a wood thi•ough which the roLd
passes From Szews ft en .toKobryn, in place Of leaning
UpOn that town. _Remade baste in takingativatiiiige
of this double fault, in taking possession of Po-
dubno; with a division Of Chassears; and it WU- 3
agreed between us; that he should clebOuch with
the 7th corps, and reinforcements Which I bad as.:
signed him, by the wood to attack and turn the
enemy's left, Whilst I sh6tild sUppOrt hi 3 move.

vision, previously detached to 111alitz; lc.'aving
battalion and some Cavalry to observe that part;
to protect our rear, and cOncealed Our March froth
the enemy; rejoined the corps, d'arthee; and Wai
Placed in
.reserve, of the 7th near Szalthi:
On the lth, we reniarked at break of d 4, that
. ,
the enemy, front whom none of oar Movements
could be congealed; because they Occupied the
commanding heights had placed the greater part
of their forces opposite- the debauch of .Podubna,
and whilSt the 7th corps, to Which- WO joined
LtLIENECEG'S lifigade; cOitimenced its Moverneutl
toward:; the wood updn its left, and hastily formed
With the 2d line a parallel flank to the d,etiOtichei
from that wood:

About ten in tile morning, the.ith corps reached
'the skirts of the wood, and rapidly advanced- to
gain the ground necessary for deploying, which
it effected in the greatest Order under a edntituai
aud dreadful fire froni the enemy; who, on bit
part, did not cease to reinforce atid extend their
flank; that it touched our right, which took from
us all hope of turning it, reducing all Our efforts to
repulse their reiterated attacks; -and driVing them
:back upon their centre.
The battle ;juickly-became 'general at PlOraditt
Va,-Podubna,and Upon' all the right: It was con-
tested With great slaughter , the,,eneMy redoubled
their efforts, and made several very brisk attacks
to drive us into 'the wood ;- they were constantly
repulsed with loSs; I Seized the critical moment,
when their attack upon our right was briskest, td
pass over the marsh, which they considered im-
practi.cable; a battalion of Colloredo, above and
On the right Of POdUbna. This battalion ef-
fected its , passage in front, up to their knee;
in nice; scaled the oppbsite heights; and
petuouSly attacked the enemy who were on its
summit. This iiiieXpeeted attack bn the lank fa=,
cilitated that of our. right, Which; quickly' rein-.
forced by the 2d battalion of Colloredo, was not
long in repulsing the enemy to the height of Po,
dubna... .

They nevertheless aternpted, at the extremity
of, the left, a last effort,. and made with a mass of
cavalry, very superior, a-dernier attack upon that
of our right, which. firmly expected it, and whilst
the Austriancavalry took them in flank, POLENTZ'S
Saxon brigade charged them in front; arid instantly
drove them behind their infantry. Night put aft
end to the battle ; the enemy took advantage-of
it to file off his artillery and Main part of his troops
upon Kobryn, and abandoned to us, the field of
battle ; another hour's daylight, they woi.!',d have
lost their communication and been drove upon
the marshes.

On the 13th'I pursued, with all the cavalry and
light artillery, the enemy's van-guard, composed
o'ffrom 7 to
.8000 cavalry, and dismounted chas-
seurs, with some artillery. We found upon tilt
field of battle a great number of dead And dying,
and notwithstanding the celerity of our pursuit,
we could not reach the rear-guard till near the
village of Sttichou, *here it made a demonstra-
tion of defending-itself ; but they were instantly
overthrown, and owed their salvation alone to the
marshes, .which' in these.. countries intersect in a
parallel direction froM place to place their roads,
and fOYm.so niathy 4".efiles, that it it impossible to
come near them. •

About 1 o'clock 'we. arrived dt Karyii ; the
enemy had deploYM a numerous cavalry before
that tdwn ; some
.discharges of artillery were suf-
ficient to drive them away. On retiring; they set
fire to the bridge of Muchaveu ; our tiralleues
arrived in sufficient time to preserve it..
BIANCHI'S diVision occupies Kobryn ; the 7th
.eorps is encamped on the right ; the Austrizius oht
the-left of that town; behind the Mtichaven; the
enemy are in full retreat towards Ratnel and its
marshes.

The .different: reports not haVing reached hid;
I cannot very exactly estimate the enemy's loss.-:-r
It at least amounts to 3000 Men killed and
wounded; and 500 prisoners ; that on our side
consists of 1000 men killed or Wounded,

• . (Continued from our. Paper of Yesterday )
We couid not avoid some diffusion in treating
_of tire most important and bloody revolution of
Spanish America. Few words will sufficelor the

,
Test:
-:..•.Theinsurgents of Caracas .were divided into
two parties .those who wished to acknoWledge
Ferdinand IlieNtlth for their king,, and to. govern
themselves by the Spanish laws, under the_ an-
-spices of a national congress ; and, those who,
actuated by a decided hatred of the Spaniards,
-and the exaggerated ideas of lib'erty which they
.',lfadacquired froM the French republicans, were
Aleterniined: to make Venezuela :an, independent
. a
state, truly democratic republic. . .
The moderate party was supported at first by
Which,.fis we lave already observ-
' ed,.,was favourable to the-mpther-country;-. but

-7-to 'Caracas on hearing.of the Revo.lution, arrived
at La cinaira. his ambition was so tutteli dread-
ed by the majority of the :Junta, that orders bad
.ITeen-issued-tti prevent his landing-in his native
country; but eircronstanoes.wer,e 'now changed,
and his partizans insinuated that he was the only
person under whose guidance they couhtloak for
Victory. Miranda behaved at first With great ino-
-deration, and waited until the meeting of the ge-
neral Congress, to which lie 'contrived to get him-
self elected by ,one of the most insignificant vil-
tg,es of the province. The Majority proved to'be
..gomposed' of republicans ; and 'few•sittings had
taken place when they declared themselves abso-
Intety independent, and constituted a Govern-.
mant which they Called The U:riited Provinces of
Venezuela. All their proceedings Irom that period.
are tinged with a jacobinical: hue,
A, declaration of the Rights ,orMan was issued
as the basis of the new po;iticalfahric, ;end the
people were called on to be judges of the eon;
:duct of .their Government, whiletbe gaols were
crowded with persons merely suspected of. being
diSatiected; and the heads of many of the citizens,
stuck upon poles before the gates of the city,
stood ,as . a comment which might elucidate The
Rights of Man to the unwary. Scarcely had thoSe
horrors begun to subside, and the. Government
to be more ,settled after the subjugation of the
refractory town of Valencia by-the troops of Mi..'
A•mda, when a most. dreadful earthquake reduced
_ 'the capital .to ruins. La Guaira met with the
sime fate.. But the Congress after the public-a.
tion of 'a constitution in which they very nearly
copied that of the United States, ,issued a decree
for changing their residence to Valencia, which
they appointed to be the federal town..'Thus, it
'seems, they have es,caped, the Calamity which de-
stroyed so many thousands. of their fellciw-.citizens.

This impartial, but cursory sketch, which is'all :
-that our limits'-will allow, may enable' the reader
to.form a correct idea of the- causes 'which .pro-',,
dUced the Revolution• in -Spanish AMerica. He
must have observed *that the Creole populatioa,
with few exceptions, was cordially attached to.,
the mother country; that the. habits. of respect
,and veneration, for Spain which they inherited
from their ancestors, Made them patiently submit
to the. arbitrarypower of the -Court of Maitrid,
though they were-not blind to its. injustice ; that
for these labits, which the dispersion-of the old
court off Madrid materially deranged, were substi-
tuted sympathy and compassion on the breaking
::out of the wAri but that the defeats and misfor-
.
:tunes of the,revoluttoriary governments of Spain,
..together with the suspieionS of treachery, of-
Which they Were generally accuse gradually
abated the enthusiam 3. and it must naturallylave
occurred, that- nothing but a system of
,justice and
liberality -could rekindle their affection„ and
preserve their friendship ‘with the mother-country
after the dispersidn of the Central Junta, and the
ientranee of .the. French into Andalusia.

PreviOus to the.sailing of,the, East India Fleet,'
letters had been received at Calcutta, from Bun-
dlecund, 'stating, that the- force Under .COlonel
gartindell, which-batt.for some time been assem-
bling in that province, arrived on the 19th of Ja-
nuary before Callinger, a strong hill fort, in the
centre:of Bundleeund, of great extent:and reputed
strength. The' army had taken alp their groulid
for the siege of that place, bat hostilitici basiznot,
commenced. It was generally thought that the fort
would capitulate.
In cbnscquence of the commotion in Arracan,
a body of troops from the Chittagongdistrict, has,
tako the field in order, to protect the British
frontier from molestation. At the date of the la'st
accounts this.force was encamped. OP Banns_
Plain, where Colonel Morgan, with seven com-
panies of the lsth Native Infantry to the nuhiber:
Of five hundred men, arrived on the 20th of Janu-
ary Captain Cooper, with a...party of sepoys hrld,
been dispatched to Otea Ghaut, with orders to
oppose any attempt on the part of the Aracca
nese to pass , into our territory ; and Captain
Sibley was about to march to Teek Neruff, with•
similar instructions. The Ukbars mention the,
march of a force from Poonah againA the Fort
Aukhe. -

,Letters from Constantinople state-, that the fa-
mily. of the Grand. Seignior, which'. was so lately
on the point of elctinction, for want of male heirs,
is now likely to become numerom. The women
Of the Seraglio have already brow ;ht hith thfee sons
and two daughters.
On flie'2lst ult.. Punish schoOner privateer;'
prize to his Majesty's frigate Horotio,was brougl:t,
into the harbour of Maeda'. This privateer; it
'appears, was fitted out to criiitt for the whale-fiSh-;'
.ing-ships, and bore ,down to'board The Horatio,.:
when, discoverizig-his mistake, the privateer made
all sail, and was chased into a creek; on the coast of,
Norway. The boats of the'lloratiolvere sent in,
and, _after, a very sanguinary conflict, "succeeded in
bringing out the privateer. Ten of the Horatio's.
crew are said to have been killed, and the greater
part of, the crew of the privateer, about zl5 in
uumberto have been killed or wounded, to have.
been killed or wounded, the Commandei etiincfng
thejnost desperate resolution, after the colours
were struck. The deck bore shocking marks of.
'thelatal contest, and such crowds of
,people were
going onboard; that the vessel, was once partly
overset in- Macdiiff harbour, and, several received
considerable injury in consequence.
