REPORT OF THE MARSHAL DUKE or REGGId To THE

rRINCE MAJOR GEN:RAL;

July 31, I.:,levenat Night.

•MONSEIGNEVI3,—I have the honour to inform
:your lerene Highness, that on the 20th of this
month, T put the troops of the corps, d'armee on
''theie• march for Sae.; ; the sth brigade of light
cavalry and a. battalion took a position the same
day at the ford of Sayochinai Nchere I-caused •a
"bridge to be established.. The first and second
di Visions of infantry encamped between Biata and
Sepochena,. the "third division of, infantry set out:
from Presaa, and took a ponition at Lozowtta.
The
sixth brigade of light cavalry,. winch was.
charged to cover the march of this division, was
attacked toWards 'evening by 14 or 1500 liOrse bus-
sars'of Grodno, ,or Cossacks„Who had passed the
Drissa, at the ford-of Valentsoui. The eigth re=
gime'nt of light horse, which attempted this at-
tack, almost alone suffered a loss of nearly eighty
'horses, though" they fought with much courage.
This brigade, harassed in its march, did .not
rive at its position till eleven at night.. On the
other side on the road to Sebej, the fifth brigade
of light cavalry met with two squadrons of .dra-
goons of itiga, which General Castes caused-a
he charged, and from whom he made somepii-;
soners.

The result, ofthe different-relations and recoil-
)noisances which were pushed on all the debouchor
On the 29th were, that deneralKoulinow

.hussars of,:Grodno,' two regiments of Cossaei,srlV
500 horse

twelve pieces of artillery on foot;- and th t Prince-
Wittgenstein:- wilt') had been joined by Prime
Aennin, occupied ,Kokonow and' OgVia.. On the
30th, in the Inorningl began nly.march forKliat-
soui with the sth brigade of light cavalry, and the"
first division of infantry. The 2d division, and the
cuirassiers followed /he moVerneuf, and took a
position at GloVitschoni and,Sakohisa.`, I left the
3d division of infantry to guard the. ford .of SWO
chinos, and T assigned 'the 6th brigade of light..
cavalry to observe the fords of Tarnoivisee and
Valentsoni. • ,

.
On arriving at Klietsitsoui, about eleven
morning, I pushed some light troops uptinjakou-'
bOVa., through which the road that leads-to Osveia
and Kostonovo pasSes. They met an enelny's
patrole, which they repulsed., .General Le Grand
took a position at Jakoubova, with the 250 light,
56th of the line, and 24th of horse cliasseurs. I
I. him orders to send reconnoissances upon
Sevoiana.' In the mean time, the 23d horse chas-
seurs, whom I had sent on' the road to Sebej,.
brought me in a very young 'Officer (4 the Rus-
sian Staff, who was coining from Sebej to Kleit-
sitsoui, where General Wittgenstein had-appoint-.
ed a rendezvous. Soon after, the grand guard of
this regiMent took-an Aid-du-camp of that Gene-
ral, who was likewise coming from Sebej, and who
was the bearer of some insignificant papers and
statements of the situation of the_ artillery only:—
About four o'clock in the afternoon I was inform-
ed that my reconnoissance had returned, and that
the enemy advanced in .force upon Jakoubova.—
They debauched, in fact, and the engageinentbegan
with' the 26th light, which made the finest defence,
and which the Russians- were'not able to dislodge
from the vilage. The enemy endeavonred parti-
to. threaten the flank of the line; by
making themselves masters of a large wood on
the left of the basin, on which the village of
Jackoubova is situated. Ceneral Leghand threw
into it the .56th of the line, against which the
Russians sent a great force, without being able to
shake it. The brigade of ,General Maison posted
itself in echellons, in support of the first 'line. I
could not, in a situation, closed in one side-by
thick woad, and on'the other, by works placed in
battery, more than 12 pieces of cannon. The
basin on the other sides being open to. the enemy,
he could make use of more than triple the artil-
lery, and deployed considerable forces. In the
meantime, the battle was sustained without the
least disadvantage, till ten in the evening.. I
brought up the division of General Verdier,
which was placed in reserve. As to the Cui-
rassiers, I left therain the'rear, as froM the na-
ture of the ground, it was impossible to make use
of them.

I thought that the object of the enemy being to
incline upon Sebej, to, cover the road to Peters-
burgh, he would not obstiaately attempt to de-
bouch by•liiiatsistow, but scarcely had the morn-
ing began to break, when they renewed their at-
tacks: After a prodigious fire of • artillery, they
attacked the castle of Jakoubevo, and were already
in the court, when the 26th light attacked on the
pas-dc-chorge, killed three *hundred men with the
bayonet, took five hundred prisoners, and pursvll
the remainder into the woods. The affair being ter'-
Minated, it appeared to me..that the:enemy was
was too well posted to be attacked with any
great, hopes of. success ; I had, besides, a defilie
-behind me, and I resolved to manoeuvre to brink
hiiii into itt
. We have had in the two days attacks 3 or 400
wounded.

The. eilemy has suffered considerably, .and we
have taken five or six hundrcd prisoners, among
Whom 'are several officers, without having lost any
ourselvesr'.

I am this moment intOrmed, that the enemy is
endeavouring to make himself master of the ford
of Drissa. 1 have given orders to Generals All-
hert and Castex, appointed to guard it, not to de-
fend it. If the enemy passes it—he will do what
I cOuldoish him.

I have the hononr to be, &e.
The Marshal .Duke of REGGIO.
