_ • WIBORG, SEPTEMBER sp.
By accounts from Comer, a heavy cannonade had
been heard from the west side of Langeland, which
began in the morning between eight and nine, and
continued till about one o'clock at noon. By later
accounts we learn, that it was an attempt made
by some of the enemy's ships to retake a heavy4aden
ship which had been captured by a privateer* but
their endeavours were ineffectual.

triefsh, Of Jaroslaft, and of Wolodimir; all is well ;-=
and the enemy has made no ;movement in advance.
My vanguard towards Moscow remains as in my last
report, and Colonel JILLOWAISKY, who commands it,
has reported to me, that the SoLNIK POCIIHNITSCHNI.
Kerr, who had advanced from Tcbenoy-Jam towards"
'Moscow, met with the enemy near the village
Nikols, and,. haying charged • his adyanced guard,
made thirty prisonersi At Nikoli there are only some
cavalry of the enemy, the patrole of his infentry hay-
, ing retired to Moscow.

Having learnt that the enemy had' ccupied the
town of Wolokolamsk, threatening by this movement
my right flank, I immediately detached Colonel BEN •,
KENIX)RFB with the Cossacks of the guard and the
regiment of TCHERMOSONBOFF. I ordered him to
reconnoitre the enemy, and to drive him away, }fit
be possible, from Wolokolamsk. 1 ordered Colonel
JEtowAtsttv not to retire one step, that the enemy
might not perceive my movement.
" In the mean while, I have advanced with the,
whole of my detach :tent towards the town of Kiln,,
and posted myself seven wersts off, in the village of
Dayidcfka, in order thp better to support Colonel
BENKENDORFF, and anticipate the enemy in his mow,-
menu from Woloko la msk towards Twer..

Yesterday j received accounts from M. BENKEN-
DORFF, that Wol ekolernsk was only occupied by a
party of the ene my, who have retired towards
Roussa. I have ordered M. FENKENDORFF to post
himself near Rous sa, and to occupy the environs of
Mojaisk ;—and the n, after having joined the detach.
ment of Major PIiEbDPL.L• to act upon all the roads
which lead from Mojaisk towards the North.

" This very moment I have received from M.
PRENDELL the intelligence of his having already had
some affairs wi th the tut my. lam convinced, that
the movements of Mni(ll PIM/DELL were the cause
of the abandonment of Wolokolamsk by the enemy,
who, according to Major Pim:pv.ll:3 report, suffered
great loss. He has sent me 36 prisoners.
" To4porrow I shall myself advance towards the
town of Woskreseuck, whence it will be easy for me
to reinforce my advanced guard, which is at Tscher-
noy Grjas, as well as BEmcpturow's detachment ;
at the same time I shall attain, by this means my
principal object, which is to cover K;ein and Twer,
as well as the road from Petersburgh." •
