JAII2B•SAVHAREL.
Rigs; August 4, 1812.
The Russian gun-boats, so long. expected, and at
one time so anxiously desired, artived here on the
Sist ultimo, and now form a most important acqui-
sition to the defence of the place.
The way Captain Stewart has conducted himself
in the command of the Russian and English gun-
boats, is highly praiseworthy, and his-unremitting
activity, so creditable to the country, has been wil-
lingly imitated by the officers and men of the Abou-
4ir and Ranger, who are placed under his orders;
they have unquestionably kept the enemy from cros-
sing the river, at the falls above the town, where a
boJy arinfantry and horse still remain intrenched ;
the Only.gme they ever advanced towards the bouts,
they weterlispersed in a very few minutes, after losing
five 111e11A/Iti two horses killed.
General Cravart, who commands the troops of tle
'enemy in this neighbourhood, during the absence of
Marshal Macdonald, sent, on the 27th ultimo, to sum-
mons General Essen to surrender, assigning as a rea-
son for doing so, that his battering train would arrive
in the course of a fortnight.
There has been a sharp affair in the neighbourhood
of Witepsk, where it seems a strong division-4 the
enemy crossed tl:e Dunn, and attacked part of the
cot ps of Prince Bagration ; brit they were repulsed,
and pursued across the river to the distance of several
Miles. The enemy sustained a considerable loss in
killed and prisoners, most of themWirtemberg troops;
the Russian loss is not mentioned, except that a Ge-
neral Okuloft wus killed. T. B. MARTII.4

have infinite satisfaction in acquainting you,
that a messenger is arrived from General Count. Wit-
genstein, stating, that a severe action was fought be-
tween his corps and that under Marshal Oticlinot, on
the 30th and 31st ultimo, in the neighbourhood of
• rolosgb, or roloch.
It appears that Oudinot had tressed the Duna,
said wits matching with a view, it is supposed, of
coming round upon Riga, and cutting off the com-
Xnunication with St. Petersburgh, when Count Wit.
genstein commenced a most spirited attack, and ob-
liged him to recross the river, with the loss of 3900
pr Boners and some cannon.
The fighting had been very sharp, and the Count
pas pursuing theenemy when the courier came away.
The loss of the killed and wounded is not mentio-
tted on either side, except that General Kulnieu, of
the Russian hussars is killed, and CountWitgenstein

PROCLAMATION OF THE EMPEROR
iILEXANDAR.

(PUBLISHED 13Y THE COUSIANDER•IN.CHIEF, GENERAL
BENBIOSEN•
44 Russians! The enemy has quitte4 the Dwina,l
and has proclaimed his intention of offering battle.
He accuses you of timidity, because he mistakos, or
affects to mistake, the policy of your system. Can
be then have forgotten the chastisement which your
'valour inflicted at Dunaberg and Mihr, wherever, in
short, it has been dekmed proper to, oppose him ?
Desperate counsels are alone compatible with the
enterprize he has undertaken and the dangers of his,
.situation; but shall we, therefore, be imprudent, and
forego the advantages of our own ? He would march
to Moscow let him. But can he by "the temporary
possession of that city, conquer the Empire of Rua',
slat and subjugate a population of 30,000,000. Dioi
tont from his resources near 800 miles, he would,
even if victorious, not escape the fate of the warrior
Charles XII. When pressed on every side by lioa-
tile armies, with a peasantry sworn to his destrnc-
' lion, rendered furious by his excesses, and irrecon-
'cileable by difference of religions, of customs, of lan-
tuage how would he retreat ?
" feosstaNs!— Rely on your Emperor and Iht)
Commanders whom he has appointed. die knows
the ardent and indignant valour which burns in the
bosoms of tlis soldiers at the boasts of the enemy. He
.tows that they are eager for battle; that they 4rieve
at its being deferred, and at the thought of retiring.
This cruel necessity will not exist long. Even now
the period of its duration lessens. Already are our
Aloes preparing to menace the rear of the invader ;
while he, inveigled, too far to retreat with imptatity,
shall soun'have to combat with the seasons, with fav
mine, and with innumerable Armies of
floldiers4 Rhea the period to; offering batik a;riye#
