Dispatches, of which the following are copies, and an extract tf
have been received by Viscount Castivreagh, his Majesty's
Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affair., from General
Viacouut Cat!:cart, K. T. his Majesty's Ambassador Extraor-
dinary and Plenipotentiary at the Cuurt of St. Petershurgh.
St. Petersburgh, Dec. 12, 1812.
MY LORD-4 now avail myself of a Swedish con. •
rier to forward translati.ns of two Bulletins, viz. one
from Major-General Kutusoff, Aide-de-Camp-Gene-
ral, of the 2d December; and one from General
Count Wittgenstein, of the 4th Deceinber.
Your Lordship will perceive by their reports, that
the passage of the Berezyna has cost the French up.
wards of 20,000 men, killed, wounded, drowned, and
prisoners, and th it the remains of Bonaparte's army,
with which he is still present, are endeavouring to
proceed towards Veleika, while General Wittgen-.
stein's corps is moving upon its right, and with every
expectation of getting before it ; the Moldavian army
upon the left, is moving upon Molodetchnol and the
main army, under Count TormazofF, is moving in a
parallel direction to that of the Moldavian army, at
no great distance from it, while Count Platoff, with
a strong detachment at Cossacks, light cavalry, and
light artillery, with the infantry, under General Er-
maloff, is understood to be in front of the French, in '
the very line they are pursuing.
The French force, as stated by the Admiral. is
evidently much over-rated.
The last place named by Count Wittgenstein (Nei;
mentchim) is one or two stages north from Wane.
The Russian patriotic levies continue to come faint
ward with unabated zeal, and a new army of frft*
thousand infantry and twenty thousand cavalry, fro
some of the southern provinces, is reported ready fair
service and assembled.
The French march at night, and halt during the
day, in hollow squares ; surrounded as they are by
Cossacks, their supplies must be very precarious, and
numbers are said to be found dead of cold and fa-
mine on every ground their army quits.
The Field-Marshal is with the Moldavian army.
- Marshal Macdonald is reported, by the Cowman.
dant at Riga, to occupy an Arc,- cutting off the angie-
formed by the Duna with the Baltic ; his right at ,
Frederickaham, his left at Tukuma, and his centre at
Esicay.

He menaces Riga, but probably with intention to
prevent interruption to the supplies he wishes to send
to meet the French army. I have the honour to
be, &c. (Signed) CATHCART.

Aide-de.Camp-General Gobettilstschoff Kutss-C's Repcirt to
Imperial Majesty, dated &resins, December 2.

By my last report, I had the satisfaction to ac.
quaint your Imperial Majesty of my arrival, Loge•
ther with my corps, at habinoviitseby. I there re:
ceived the first intelligence which reached me of
Count Wittgenstein's corps; who was establishing the
communication between himself and our grand army.
In the mean time, I not only did not cease to act on
the enemy's flank during his retreat, but obliged hit
advanced guard to keep on a regular defensive from
Orsha to. Boryssoff. On account of the continued
attacks of my detachments, the enemy every where
met the Cossacks on his road ; and the corps under
my command took, in the different skirmishes I had
with him, three Generals, seventy-three Staff,. and
other officers, and five thousand nice hundred and
twenty-nine privates. At least as many mute have
been killed..

Not fat from Boryssoff I united myself to the corps
under Count Wittgenstein, in conformity to whose
orders I am directed to protect his right Rank ; and
in order that there may be no obstacle in the passage
of the Berezyna, and to get the start of the enemy (4
the road to Wileyka, I wlirled my corps to the right
towards Berezyna, from waence I am in hopes to be
the better enabled to cut him off. Arrived at Lapel;
I was there informed by the inhabitants that a consi-
derable corps of the enemy, under General Wrede,
WAS at Doktschitzas. I immediately ordered there
a strong advanced guard, under the command of
Lieutenant-Colonel Tetsenborn, who has reported to
!IF!, that no sooner had he been perceived by the ene-
my, than they retreated by the Wileyka ro..d, probe-
biy in the intention of uniting with their mail, body.
I am now going in'prirstrit of the enemy, and shall
continue to remain under the command of Count
Wittgenstein, conformably to the oxdars I received

that cffect from the Commander in Chief of the
smies.

eport from the General of Cavalry Count Wittgenstein to his
bnperial Majesty, dated En Bivouac, near Kamen, Dec. 4.
Immediately after Napoleon had effected his pas-
sge over the Berezyna, near Stoudenzie, I bent off the
Late-de-Camp General KutusofF, who had just ar-
ived, the whole of his corps of light cavalry to
.epel, in order that, after having crossed the river, he
night be enabled to act on the enemy's flank, and at
he same time keep observing the remains of the Ba-
►arians, under General Wrede, and who were at
DoktschitEe. Arrived at Lepel, he learned that
these Bavarians had already quitted the place, and
were marching by Dolginoff and Wileyka, and en-
deavouring to unite themselves with the main body of '
the army at Smorgonia. In consequence of this in-
formation, he sent after them a detachment under
Lieutenant Colonel Testenborn. The latter reports
to me, on the 94:1 inst. that having overtaken their
rear guard at Dolginoff, it had been beaten, and 26
officers and one thousand privates had been taken
prisoners ; and that In consequence of the occupation
of Dolginoff by our troops, the intended junction of
this corps had been entirely prevented.
Admiral Tchitc,hagoff being in pursuit of the
enemy by the road to Molodetschno, and in order
that our troops should not press one another on the
same road, and by that means retard our movements,
I am taking the direction of Kostenewitsch, Na-
rotsch, and Nestawischky, thus acting on the flank of
the enemy, and endeavouring, particularlyantith my
Cossacks, even to cut him off entirely.
At Nomentschin I shall be enabled to act in con-
cert with Admiral Tchitschagoff ; and at the same
time to keep in check Macdonald's army.
The enemy's loss, during the three days I have
pnrsued him, and from the difficulties I opposed to
him in crossing the Berezyna, must be above twenty
thousand men ; as I have already sent off as priso-
ners thirteen thousand, and his loss in killed, woun-
ded, and di owned, must amount to more than seven
thousand. Independently of the twelve pieces of can-
non taken from the enemy, and of which I have al.
ready most humbly made my report, he has lost three
others, besides one eagle, which I have hereby the ho-
nour to lay at the feet of your Imperial Majesty.

St. Petersburg!), December 16.
►, JAY Lon—ln my dispatch of the 12th instant your

',Lordship would find bulletins, containing reports of
Major General Kutusoff of the 2d December, and of
Count Wittgenstein of the 4th December. These re-
ports described Bonaparte, with the remains of his
army, as marching from Zembine upon Wilna,
through Vileika ; the Admiral and General Count
Wittgenstein moving upon the same point of Wilna,
the former through Molodetchno, the latter by Na-

notch and Nementchina.
4n this part of the pursuit, the Russian corps have
stuck very close to the enemy ; but the light troops
which got before him, were not of sufficient force to
stop him.
His course was altered in consequence of some of

flank attacks, and he arrived at Molodetchno in-

tead of Veleika ; and having gained some time by
lostroying the bridge, he coruinued his march through
imorgono to Wilna, which place he appears to have

reitched -on the 10th December.
The advanced guards of the several Russian co-
lumns arrived in the immediate neighbourhood of
Wilna nearly at the same time, and the retiring army
was compelled to continue its retreat from that town,
almost without a halt.

It is said, that an Aide-de-Camp of Marshal M-
ust was sent to order the rear guard to defend

tselt before Wilna as long as possible ; but instead
of the French rear guard, this officer found the Rus-
;jail advanced guard, which made him prisoner,
raving already demolished, or sent to the rear, the
whole of the French rear guard.

Thanksgiving and Te Deum will form part of the
lurch service to-morrow (being the festival of Saint

gicholas), for the defeat of the French army, the
:apture of one hundred and fifty pieces of ordnance,
Ind several general officers, together with the occu-

a;icn of Wilna.
I have the honour to inclose three reports, being
he journal of military operations from the 20th to
lthe 26th of November old style ; Marshal Prince
Kutusnfrs Report of the 25th of November, from
Illadaschkewich, and his intermediate report of the
occupation of Wilna, and continuation of the pursuit
Dt- the enemy.
' The further report is not yet arrived, but 'I under-
tand the magazines of all sorts to have been well
tored, the quantity of ordnance to have been consi-
eralt, and that among the prisoners (not less than
wenty thousand, many of whom are sick or wonn-
ed) there are several General Officers, or officers of
istinctiou, who were under cure, and could not be
oved.

Two General Officers were taken in activity. The
me, I understand to be General Le Fevre, who was
t prisoner of war in England on parole, the other an
Ad Polish General.

The apparent direction of ;be enemy's retreat is to-
rards Kovno ; perhaps a column may take the road

Olita.

From the state of the weather, it is possible the
fiemen may not be passable, in consequence of

boating ice.
The Commanding Officer at Riga reports, on the
12th December, that Marshal Macdonald has made
io variation in his position,
I am not sure that the number of pieces of ord-
kance, mentioned in the notification of the Te Deum
o Foreign Ministers, refers to what was taken at
Vita; exclusively, or whether it does not include

what has been taken since the last general statement
that was published.--I have the.honour to be, &c.
