the vicinity i indepeidant Of the 'crews of the armed
_vessels, each 1 f which had tivo heavy guns in her
bow, which they fired, hoisting French colours on
our approach. Two batteries of three 36-pounders
commanded the beach within a few yards. The quick
and well-directed tire of the gint-beats soon silenced
the fire of the batteries, and under the cover of grape
and musketry, 'I put on shore the smallotrm melt, ,
end about 30 of the foreign cops of marine artillery,
wbo advanced in an admirable style against the enemy's
line, and beat them up the hill, destmying a number,
ttna making others' prisoners a at this time another
divislon of seamen disembarked, and in a few mi-
nuted eleven large vessels laden with silk, &c. &c.
'were in times, or blown tip ; and the guns in both
batteries spiked and disabled.
From the different reports of the prisoners, there
cold not be less thin twelve hundred men assembled
at Pietra Nero to protect their vessels, and the French
General Moat, having had intimation of our inten-
tion, had himself, on the day previous to the attack,
visited the defences of Pietra Nero, made the officer
Commanding there acquainted with our object, and
teas himself on the spot during the attack. Your
Lordship will therefore be able to form a judgment
of the ardour and gallantry of our men, so very infe-
rior in numbers, and having to act against a regu-
larly organized body, no men could behave better
than the seamen of the flotilla and the marine artil-
lery on this occasion. Of the former I regret to say
that three have been killed and seven wounded ;
of the latter, two killed and seven wounded. Four
officers and 36 privates have been made prisoners be-
longing to the enemy's artillery and 3d regiment ;
three others deserted to us from the enemy's ranks
and joined oar men in the pursuit.
Lieutenant Colonel Lucchesi and Captain Natoli
were very active, and Colonel Robinson played rff
Congreve's rockets to good effect among the cavalry.
Islo damage has been received by the boats of the flo-
tilla. I have the honour to be, &e. (Signed)

GLORIOUS VICTORY OBTAINED BY THE
RUSSIANS OVER THE FRENCH.

A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning. The
afFair of Moskwa, described in such glowing terms
in the Eighteenth Bulletin, is said, by the Russians,
to have terminated most gloriously for their arms;
The French are said td have been completely defea-
ted—DavousT was killed—and NIT and MURAT
were wounded. We hasten to lay the details before
our Readers without farther comment.

" PEI ERSBURGH, AUG. 02.-(SEPT. II.)
" We have, thank Gon, glorious news from the
interior. No news of the battle is published yet, and
consequently we cannot discriminate what is official
from what is only report. Certain it is, that a ge-
neral and bloody battle was fought on the 26th, O.C.
(Sept. 7), not very far from Moscow, in which the
whole of the two grand armies were engaged, and
the enemy's completely defeated. It is said that the
image of tie Virgin Mary was brought from the
Cathedral of Moscow, and placed in front of the Rus.
sian army before the battle. General Kutuzow and
all his officers then pledged themselves, by a solemn
oath, to conquer or eie. This operated on the Russian
army like electricity, and the attack instantly com-
menced with an impetuosity beyond all example.
64 The slaughter of the enemy is said to be im-
mense, and he was already driven 15 wersts from the
field of battle when the dispatch was sent off, which
was done before any account of the number of the
killed, wounded, and prisoners, could be made up,
that the account might reach the Emperor yesterday,
being St. Alexander's day.
16 This intelligence arrived just as the Imperial
family were going to church ; and it may easily be '
imagined with what grateful feelings -the Te Dens
(always sung on that day) was celebrated.
" The victory was announced to the public by
the discharge of 101 great guns from the Citadel,
and the town illuminated in the evening.
" It is said that Davoust is among the killed.
Murat and Ney among the prisoners."
" ST. PIZTERSIIURGH, AUG. 29, (SEPT. 13 )

" This moment the official account that General
Kutusoff has totally defeated the French, taken
20,000 prisoners— among whom are the Vice.Rny
of Italy, and Marshal Ney I Davoust is dead.—
The battle was fought 90 wersts from Mcscow, on
the 27th, (Bth September) where it is said that Mu
rat is among the prisoners."
" ST. PETERSEURGH, (AUG 30), SEPT. I I.

"• We have been abstaining for some time to men-
tion any operation of the armies. It is with so much
more pleasure we communicate to-day a splendid
victory which crowned the Russian arms three days
ago, in a general battle, fnupht about 120 wersts
from Moscow. Particulars are not known, but it must
be something very grand, since our Emperor, on re-
ceiving the news this morning, bestowed the Mar-
shal's staff on our Commander-in-Chief, Prince Ku-
tusow.

44 We are waiting with impatience for the Official
Dispatch of this great atchievemenr, which, if the
statements in circulation prove correct, will decide
the fate of this campaign, and perhaps mon. It
seems, indeed, Eternal Justice is roused at last from
her sleep, and has let her thunders loose from both
extremities of groaning Europe.".

a ST. PETERS BURGH, AUGUST SO.
" To•day the guns of the fortress have been fired,
on account of a great Victory Prince, now Marshal
Kutusoff is said to have gained curer the enemy's
army, as is supposed, about 80 miles distance from
Moscow, the particulars of which are not known yet."
" ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. Si, (SEPT. Is )
" Yesterday couriers arrived from the army, bring-
ing accounts of the success of the Russian army in
a general battle with the French, having turned one
of •the wings of the French army, and broken the
centre, they were retreatiug at all points, which is a
very great thing for this country, the face of things
'being now entirely changed. Reports are various
as to prisoners, cannon, &c. taken, and as yet it is
not known by the public here.
