" We are all so much occupied with gloriousnews
from the army, that jay possesses every faculty, and
business is quite at a stand. Particulars are not yet
known. Tile note it from the field of battle on the
evening of the 27th Agit. 0. S. and mentions—" the
enemy have been repesed at all points ;" and cer.
tainly it must be something both decisive and glori-
ous, as the Emperor yesterday raised General Ku-
tusoff to a Field Marshal, gave him 100,000 rubles,
and made his Lady a " Stall Dame." All the sol-
diers are to receive five rubles—a monstrous sum ;
and a great many promotions are making. Witgen-
stein is made a Compte."

OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROM GENERAL BARCLAY DE
TOLLI, DATED UMOLJE, 9TH (21ST) AUG. 1812.
" After my last official report to your imperial
Majesty, very important events have taken place re-
specting
the positions of the Army. On the 3d
(15th) August, a report was received from Major.
General Newrouskye, that the enemy, who advanced
in great force towards Krasmoe, had pushed on his
advanced guards to Ladyj. In the mean-time 1 also
received information, that Napoleon had left Witepsk,
and concentrated his whole force near Bolemsutzchy,
Orscha, and Dubrowna. In consequence of this, it
was immediately determined that the 2d army should
march to Smolensk, and, after uniting all its corps
on the left bank of the Dnieper, halt.
The army was to approach Smolensk, or act
offensively, should the enemy divide his forcei. On
the night of the same day, Lieutenant-General
jewskye reported that Major-General Newrouskye,
alter having been attacked by a superior force, had
found himself under the necessity of retreating, after
having suffered considerable loss, and that he was
only seven wersts from Smolensk. All the other
pccounts agreed in stating, that the enemy with his
whole force were passing to the left bank of the
Dnieper ; in consequence of which, without loss of
time, I immediately put the army in motion ; and .a
the night of the 4th (16th) arrived near Smolensk,
just as the enemy were making a heavy attack on
Lieutenant-General Rajewskye'a corps.
This affair has already been made known to your
Majesty, by the Commander in Chief of the 2cl army, I,
and serves as a new proof of theinvincible courage of
your Majesty's troops. Having ascertained that the 1,
enemy concentrated their whole force at one point,
and had even drawn Prince Poniatowski's corps to
their assistance, it was to be supposed his real inten-
tion was to anticipate us in Dorognbush, or any other
point, by which he might obtain possession of the
Moscow road. Taking this into consideration, we
determined, together with Prince Bagration, that the
Ist army should occupy' Smolensk, and remain on
the right bank of the Dnieper, and by that means
cover the march of the 2d army to Dorogubush.
a In the night between the 4th and sth (16th and
17th) this plan was executed.
‘,. The 6th corps, to which was attached the 3d
division of infantry, took possession of Smolensk and
all the outposts.

“ The 2d army, which put itsaYin march on the
same night, took its position 15 wersts from Sam.
lensk, and sent the irregular troops towards Jana and
Rosbawl to observe the enemy. Meanwhile the
enemy concentrated their whole force, and brought
150,000 men against Smolensk.
gg On the sth (17th) at one P. M. they sttsehed•
our troops, who were draws% itif is the void from
Krosnos and other points, roand Smo/enst, but, after
an engagement, which contrasted without intermix,
sion for three hours, they. were repulsed at ell-points.
