4th corps were thus situated :—Ten regiments
of C9ssacks under Ma ;:,r-General Count Orloff
Denis-4; twenty .re,*:l'nts of, the Yagers4
and four regiments of the first corps of the
Guards, under Major-Gen. Baron Muller Zako-
miuskoi. We marched in three columns,•the first'
consisting of the Cossacks, under Count bring
Denisoff, and the twenty regiments of Pagers

under Baron Zakominskoi, wilich division was
cliretled penetrate the left flank of the enemy.-'
The. second coluwn consisted of the. first corps of
infantry, folio-Wed by .1 brigade of Yagers under
Col. Rilaud, with for field,pieces from the se"
eond Cocos of; infantry, followed by a brigade of
Yagers ander Colonel Pilland, with four field-.
pieces e:•oin the second cor s, under Lieut. Gene'

rat Bakavute. The third column was under the
command of Major-General Count Stroganoff,
and it had two-hatteringtrains, and two compw'
niei of horse-artillery, under Count Osterman
Talstoy. . ,

" The enemy's "videttes Were; at a short
tanc2, when I ordered 'Colonel to leave
woods' in which he was posted with a brigade
hussars, with the view of protecting the four
pieces of attill''ry which were with the cohmnr.of
sometime, I gave orders to ese
Officer commanding the battering train to *fire.
as a signal to. General 0. Denizoff,• to attack the
enemy in his rear ; at the same moment Count
Talstoy had instructions to leave the wood with.
four regiments', for the, Purpose of joining the-
troops under General Doctoroff, the duty
si,ned . for which was to assist in the attach
Which had commenced on the
.enemy's left
flank.

" We 'found the enemy in battle array, in an
• I
advantageous position, ju6t before the village.o(
Milfofficks, under the command of his Majesty iho
King of Naples, and perfectly prepared to receive
us. I then'ordered one of the batteries to take
possesslon of the adjacent heights, 'and -:for this
purpose, supported by two detachments, the artil-
lery, advanced. As soon as we had forthed the
line of baffle, the cannonading on both sides took
effect, and we had the misfortune to lose, at the
onset, our gallant comrade, Lieutenant Gener4
Bakavute, and his detachment dzwolved under the
command of Lieutenant General Altufioff, who
was gecond in rank with that detachment.
In the mean while Count Osterman left the
wood with three regiments, having orders to take,
possession of the second height on the left; Ssur
ported by the battering train under the command
or General Talstov, from which the discharges
had taken great effect. But tlis dill not continue
more than half an hour,-,before I observed, in the
ranks of the enemy a Consid2rable movement.
This movement, I found, was designed to bripg
into action their troops from every direction, for
Count 0. DenizotT, havirig pressed upon the French

toward.-- the left flank with ten regiments of Cos 7

sacks, lmfl excited mach alarm and trepidation•

" At this favourable interval I ordered my di-
vision to advance to the attack with great rapidity,
and the result -was, that 'the enemy was driven
from every position he load occupied.at the com-
mencement of the action. Under these circum-
stances I continued my approach to the left flank
of the enemy, in order to join the force with Ge-
neral 0. Denizoff.

" puling these operations I had learnt noAing
of the progresi of Count Osternian, but I presum-
ed he was with General Ductoroff, as the infantry
of the enemy still kept possession of the verge of
the wood which we had passed.' In this uncer-
tainty, I ordered the infantry to charge with the
bayonet, when -they rushed into the intrench,.
... •
ments, and both the columns of which the ene-
my's force consisted took-flight, and not one man
would have escaped if the cavalry could have been
at this time engaged in the pursuit.

" I now hastened to - the division of General
Doctoroff, who, as. I supposed, was with Count
Osterman, and I ordered him to take possession
of a third height, which enabled us to molest the
enemy by a cross fire. Count 0. Denizoff at
this time attacking the left flank of the enemy,
p
the fortune of the day was complete, so that with
the small number of troops I have described, I
had the honour of forcing the army of the, Near
olitan King to a disgraceful
flight, taking one

" I have the honour to acquaint you with tbe
particulars of the battle of yystcrAv, in which I
had three corps under my orders. In consequence
of the plan arranged with the Prince Marshal, I
left my position on the 17th of this mouth, at
seven in, t' e evening, when the 2d, 3d, and

stand of colours p:f the eVlifai i TSB thirty-eigh

pieces of cannon ,• a great quantity of aMmunition,
the equipages 'of the king, alltl,o officers' baggage,
and a,prodigious booty. We captured 1,100 men
in the pursuit for fifteen wersts, and aniong them
is one General, and 12 officers of the staff. Two
thousand were and the field was strewed
with the insignia Of Noblesses. General Gari, Cap-
tain of theaing's Guards, was among the slain,
and hiss Majesty sent to request his body. _
" The
.intrepidity thetroops is beyond all
'praise, I myself received a contusion, whieh Ob-
liged me to leave the field, but not until the ene-
my was in flight, but this circumstance renders
Me unable from my own personal knowledge to
state the seqael. I shall inform you as soon as

i.

possible of the merits of the officers under my com-
mand, but 1 cannot at present omit to mention
with applause, Major General.Danizoff, whose
bravPry confers the highest honour on the Russian
arms, and :•Iso Prince Holstein Oldenburg, who
conveyed my orders amid the deathful shower of
the enemy, and, under his• own immediate inspec-
tion, constructed a battery; which eminently con 7
tributed to the success of the day."
