iherAnn, at the advanced work of Poicatente, to
ohse lie the enemy stationed opposite to Me on the
tiler hank ; and having thrown bridges across the
the course of the night, I sent my cavalry
firer in
out several times on expeditions, and which in the
course of eight days took eight officers and about
1000 men prisoners, from the corps of the General
of Brigade St. Genie, and almost entirely destroyed
the 7th and I Ith regiments of French Yagers s the
Bth übians, and the 10th Regiment of Foot Yagers,
isoth poles, are nearly cut up.
Finally, on the 17th of this present July, I re.
eivedi
niennation from my detachments from Drissa,
"rat marshal Oudinot, (Duke of Reggio) after
haying passed the Drissa with his corps, was oh his
parch to Sebesch from Dunaberg. I was informed
that Marshal Macdonald has crossed the river at Ja.,
cobstadt, and was shaping his march for Lusye ; and
according to the statement of a French Officer of the
General Staff, whom we had taken prisoner, those
pops at the churches were destined to cut me off
from the road of Pschkow. In this station I resolved
to attack the enemy nearest to me in the church of
the village Klastiga, and discovered the corps of Ou-
dinot stationed before the village of Jackuhow, at
the distance of five wersts, and which was already
approaching to meet me from Klastiga. I attacked
it with impetuosity, and after one of the most obsti-
nate and bloody engagements, which lasted without
intermission for three days, from morning early till
late at night ; we at length, thanks be given to our
ill gracious GOD, and praised be the victorious Rus-
sian troops, obtained this victory over the most de-
ceitful and greatest enemy of our native country ;
me victory over the corps of Marshal Oudinot, which
consisted of three divisions of the flower of the French
infantry, is totally beaten and thrown into the greatest
confusion ; it has retired in disorder, and only escaped
by means of the woody places, and by crossing over
the small rivulets, the bridges of which they set on
fire and destroyed, and at the same time laying hin-
drance in our way at almost every step, to stop the
rapidity with which he was pursued by us.

“ The Commanders of divisions Le Grand and
Verdier, are both wounded. I shall pursue them

along the Duna to Polotsk. This three days battle
has crowned our Russian army with fresh laurels, and
the corps entrusted to me have performed incredible
actions by its valour and its discipline, which I am

un,ible sufficiently to describe. Whatever was op-

posed to it, batteries and strong columns, it has, with-
out paying attention to the strongest and most obsti-
sate opposition on the part of the enemy, overthrown
and annihilated, by the bayonet, and by the effect of
the artillery—all the villages and fields through which
we passed, were covered with dead bodies. We have
taken about 3000 prisoners, among whom are 25 of-
ficers, 2 pieces of cannon, and several powder wag.
Bons, and both the Crown and private baggage,
among which is the General's equipage, has fallen al.
most entirely into the hands of the victors. So soon
as I shall have driven them over the Duna, I am de-
termined, as I attack them on each side, to turn my-
self against the corps of Marshal Macdonald, to attack
it: and as,l hope, w►th the assistance of Goo, and
with the spirit of our troops, invigorated by these suc-
sesses, likewise to perform something, I shall en-
deavour to clear the lines of demarcation allotted me

from the ene)...y, and if this can be effected, the ene-
my's troops must necessarily withdraw themselves
from before Riga. The loss on our side is mot small,
particularly in having lost the brave General Kulnow,
who yesterday had both his legs carried away by a
canon ball, of which he died on the spot; and I my-
sdf am wounded by a bullet in the cheek, near to the
temple, but the wound is not at all dangerous."
