OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS OF THE ARMIES.

The Commander in Cllief of the Armies, Field
Marshal General Prince Kutu sow, reports to his
Imperial Majesty as follows

From the to -a n of Podolsk, of the
(6) 18, September,

According to my submissive report of the -Ith
of this month, I continue my movements towards
Moskwa. After having- in prosecution of my
plan, to approach nearer to the enemy's lines of
communication, made two marches, I left my'
rear-guard behind me on the river• Pochra, in the
position hear Kutakow, and made a forced flank
march do Podolsk.

Last night my rear-guard, by
,a stolen march,
followed the army on. this flatak road, having left
a party of Cossacks behind them, who were to
make a false movement towards Kolotima, as if
the army bad likewise made its retreat. towards
there. I still continue to receive accounts of this
false movement, the enelny having followed the Cos-
sacks in divisions This affords me an oportunity of
placing the army so that it will to-morrow, after
havißg made a flank movement of 18 wersts, on
the Kaluga Road, and sent a strong- party on the
Moshaisk. Road, very much' threaten the rear of
the enemy.
• I hope that by these means .the enemy Will en-
deavour to give me battle, from which, being in
an advantageous situation,,l may expect the same
result as at Borodino.

Sept. 11(29), from the village of Krasnya Poebey.

The army, which is at present on the old Ka-
luga road, and by its position covers Tula, Ka-
higa, and Orei, has happily performed the move-
ment which I submissively explained in my re-
port of the 18th inst. The army, by, making this
flank movement, after having crossed the . river
Moskwa to conceal its intention, put the enemy'
into doubt by every march, and , masked Itself
whilst taking; its road to„. the iniended point,
by false Movements' of the light troops who.
made demmi'Arations towards Kolomna and some:
times towards Supuehau, which were followed.
by large bodies of the enemy.---The rear-guard
which crossed the river Pochra followed after,
and it, is at present in a parallel line with the
army towards MoskWa, about tenswersts distance,
and has not been disturbed. by_ the enegly since
turning off from the road to Kolonina.

The enemy, who has lost sight of our army, and.
still remains in doubt, detaches strong parties out ,
on - different roads to discover us. On the 7th
(19th), the Major-General, with a party of Cos-
sacks, and the Mariapol hussars; discovered the
enemy near the village of Snomensk, attacked four
regiments of the enemy's cavalry, and made 200
men prisoners, together with a Colonel, 16 offi-
cers, and 40 subalterns. 'A great number of
them were cut down, and he totally defeated
them.—Even our paroles bring in many pri-
soners, the number of which sent in yesterday
•
and to-day amount to 500 men. As. I am now
posted on the road, and have approached the'
enemy's rear on the side of Moshaisk, in
order to operate against it, I have sent out a
strong detachment, under the command of
,g
Major-
General
Doitocow, from whom I have this day
received, a report, stating his having *already 'suc-
ceeded in making six officers and 200 privates.pri-
soners meanwhile Lieut. Col DA WYDOW, of the

Acbtyi'Ae Ileitnent 01 Ilu—ars, has long been-
posted between Chatsk and 3ioshaisk, and per-
forms 11;s operations with great success in stopping
the enemy's communications. ,The adjutant Gen.'
Baron WINZINGERODE, who is posted on the road
to Twer, has also a detachment on that to Jaros-
law.; and, in concert with the operation& of the.
army on the Tiloshaisk Road, will li4ewise act on
the same.

General. Donocncir at this moment reports;
that be has discovered the corps of General LA-
MUSE, consisting of infantry, cavalry, and artil-
lery, on, the road from Moshaili to Moskwa.—
The rest concerning the iiio:;aaisk r: ad, your 1-m-

kXTRACT ,FROM THE REpORTS OF MAJOR-GENERAL

DOROCIIOW TO PRINCE KUTUSOPF, OF THE
10TH (22D) SEPT.
FROM THE FIRST -REPORT. . '

After having assembled my detachments, and
bad at midnight arrived at the village ,of Sehara-
pow; on the road to 'Borowsk, I received in-
formation that a great quantity of baggage
was coming on the road from Sniolensk, I there,
fore detached a , party of CossackS, consisting •of
40 men., .under the command of the Solnik TUDI,N,
to procure information, and be having informed
me that he had discovered enemy's baggage under.
a 4rong escort, in the village of Percliutkino, 1
immediately sent him a reinforcement of 200 Cos-
sacks, and two quadron of
,the Body Guards.'
But this brave officer, without Waiting for the re-
inforcement, pushed on to the village by break of
day, cut a considerable number down, and took
two captains, five office's and
,92 men of lesser
rank, prisoners ; and as several of them took.
shelter in the barns to defend themselves, he set
them on fire, and blew up 36 carriages with ar-
tillery ammunition waggons.

The whole road to Borowsk is full of the ene-
my's marauders,
sagainsfwbom I am taking all ne-
cessary measures. By .the prisoners reports we
know that the Bth corps is posted in Moshaisk,
and that Gen. DEmßßowsKt is dispatched with
his division from Moskwa on the road taßorowsk,
but of "which I • shall endeavour to obtain More
certain intelligence.
