" Petersburgb, June 24, (July S.)
a The Proclamation (alluding to the one issued by
the Empei or Alexander at Polotsk, on the 18th July)
inserted in the Gazette, has spread great terror, and
appears to have not been well received at Motcow.
They have not approved the assertion, that the ene.
my was coming, st ith the resolution of annihilating
Russia.

" It is said, that the churches are continually full,
that prayers are put up on all sides, and that the
road which leads to Trinity Monastery is covered
with all kinds of carriages. Rostopchenn• does not
allow himself to enter into conversation. He avoids
as much as possible every thing that can cause it.—
The harvest of this year will be more abundant than
any that has ever been seen."

ZXTRACT Or A LETTER, PROM THE SAME TO THE SAME.
Perhaps at this very moment, my dear Alexan,
der, great events have passed in the encounter with
oar enemy.
ig In the mean time, the Manifesto has caused
great alarm, The public had confidence that our
armies were so numerous and so agila that they could
be every where, and not suffer even a bird to escape;
end now, all at once, we receive the intelligence that
the enemy have passed our frontiers, and are mena.
Ong to annihilate Russia.
" if he thought by this step sO excite a greater
enthusiasm, he has net deceived himself. He proba-
bly understands that we Russians know better low
to act than comprehend policy.
44 A report has been circulated, that 8000 Confe-
derates of the Rhine, and 200 officers, have ranged
themselves under our banners. GOD grant that it
may be true I Nevertheless, these are accounts which
must be spread, and are proper to quiet the public
rind."

BERLIN, AUGUST 8.

Very interesting and detailed accounts have been
published at Warsaw, respecting the operations of
the Polish Army, which forms the right wing of the
French Army. The following are the principal facts
they contain more particularly relative to the glori-
ous combats which the Polish General Roanieki's
division of cavalry gave the enemy :
The 3d Regiment of Polish Uhlans impetifously
pursued th.: Russians beyond Mihr. Five regiments
of Cossacks attacked and surrounded it ; but it suc-
ceeded in (Telling a passage through the enemy, and
joining tw,) squadrons of the 13th and 14th Uhlans,
and repulsing the Russians ; shortly after, the 28th
brigade joined the 29th brigade at Tareza, the Rus-
sians were driven to Siennikow, two leagues beyond
Mihr. The Generals Platow and Jorwayski's corps
. of Cossacks, some divisions of hussars and Russian
dragoons, made a combined attack upon the Polish
division in the plain- of Bieonikow.
The 7th Uhlans were surrounded, but opened to
themselves a pavage, and rejoined the division. The
battle beiame general: the Poles maintained their
ground, and only retired to Mihr upon the approach
of night. Another brigade of cavalry, commanded
by Genera! Tyskiewitz, arrived at this time at Mihr,
immediately attacked the enemy, and pursued them
to a neighbouring forest. The Polish division main-
tained itself upon the field of battle. Kiev's Rus-
sian regiment of dragoons and Achterkisch's hussars
suffered a great loss. The Russian Lieutenant.oe-
neral Was killed. Tile, field of battle was covered
u;ith Cossacks, Kalmucks, and Tartars.
Five days sifter, the Polish garrison carried Czar—,
nolely, and killed many Cossacks. It penctratedli
the heights of Rour.now, near Pill:, where the.pne-
my's camp was established.
Spate regiments of the line and Cossacks quitted
the camp, and completely surrounded the Ist regi-
• sineat,of cavalry, which covered itself with glory, re.
pulsed the Russians, and rejoined the division.
