pH [EP, ETC, DATED OCTOXER 19.

" I have the honour to acquaint you with the par-
ticulars of the battle of yesterday, in which I had
three corps under my orders.
" In consequence of the plan arranged with the
Prince Marshal, I left my position on the 17th of this
month, at seven in the evening, when the 2d, Sd, and
4th corps were thus situated :-10 regiments of Cos-
sacks under Major-General Count Orloff Denisoff;
20 regiments of the Yagers, and four regiments of
the first corps of the Guards, under Major-General
Baron Muller Zakominskoi. We marched in three
colnmns, the first consisting of the Cossacks under
Count Orloff Denisoff, and the 20 regiments of Ya.
gers under Baron Z“kominskci, which division was di-1
rected to penetrate the left flank of the enemy. The
scc column consisted of the first corps of infantry
followed by a brigade of Yagers, under Colonel Pil-
and, with four field-pieces from the second corps,
under Ventenant-General Bakavute. The third co-
lumn was under the command of Major-General
Count Stroganoff, and it had two battering trains,
and two companies of horse-artillery, under Count
Osterman Talstoy.
" The enemy's videttes were at a short distance,
when I ordered Colonel Pilland to leave the woodi
in which he was posted with a brigade of hussars, with
the view or protecting the four pieces of artillery
which were with the column of infantry. At the
same time I gave orders to the Officer commanding
the tattering train, to fire, as a signal to General 0.
Denizoff, to attack the enemy in his rear; at the same
moment Count Talstoy had instructions to leave the
wood with four regiments, for the purpose of joining
the troops under general Doctproff, the duty assign.
ed for which was to assist in the attack which I had
commenced on she enemy's left flank:

We have already noticed the great secession of
numbers which the Russian armies have recently re-
ceived. We have since received the following nu-
merical estimate, in which we place unlimited con-
fidence ;

Total, (besides armed Peasants)

The Zaporavian Cossacks include the Calmucki,
Kepis, and others. Of these, thirty-seven regiments
have been ordered to j in Kutusoff, to replace the
Don Cossacks detached under Platow towards Smo-
lensk. As all these tribes hold their lands by military
tenure,. they are always trained and ready for action.
That ...he armed peasants forin no incons7derable ac-
cession to the active force, is attested both by Ku-
tusoff's own words, and by the intotn•ation of err.
sons who have recently armed direct from Russia.
—Marshal Kutusere, the gallant Chiet of the Rus-
sian Armies, we understand, is in the 75th piar of his
age, and has lived from jiis infancy in camps. He
has lost an eye, and received musket balls through
both his cheeks, and from other wounds, in former
wars, is scarcely able to mount his horse ; but akl his
bodily infirmities are ciimpensated by the greatest
mental activity, and tlx most unconquerable spirit.

Lord MMIRA will not take his departuie far India
before February. Mr. Ttiompsots, lately one of the
Deputy Commissaries General under tLe Marquis of
WELLisGroN, is the Gentleman who will accompany
his Lordship, as Private Secretary, kand Superintendant
of his domestic ccvicerns. He is a native of Glasgow,
and not an Irishma,n, as has been stated, —Captain
the Honourable LEICESTER STANHOPE, second son
of the Earl of HmintNoToN, goes out as First
Aide-de-Camp to his Lordshi,.. The youngest of the
DoYLE'S also accompanies h•rn, as Second Aide-de.
Camp. The Third Aide-de-Camp is a Mr. MACRA,
of the 79th regiment,and who served with it during the
whole campaign in Egypt; this Gentleman is, also
from Scotland, and a near relation of the Countess of
.LoupoN. The complement 4,1 Aides-de-camp is thus
made up, as the other three officers must be selected
from the army in India, viz. one from the King's
Troops, and one from the Company's Service.' 'toe
other appointments have not transpired.

44 We found the enemy in battle array, in an ad-
vantageous position, ju►t before the village of Mil.
rofEcks, under the command of his Majesty the King
of Naples, and perfectly prepareU to receive us. I
then ordered one of the batteries to take possession
of the adjacent heights, and for this purpose, sup-
ported by two detachments, the artillery advanced•
As soon as we had formed the line of battle, the can-
nonading on both sides took effect, and we had the
misfortnne to lose, at the onset, our gallant comrade,
Lieutenant-General l3akavute, and his detachment
devolved under the command of Lieut,-General Altu-
floff, who was second in rank with that detachment.
" In the mean while Count Ostermarl kit the
wood with three regiments, having orders to tale pos-
session of the second height on the left, supported by
the battering train under the command of General
Talstoy, from which the discharges had taken gre.►t
effect. But this did not continue more than half an
hour, before I observed in the ranks of the enemy a
considerable movement. This movement, I found,
was designed to bring into action their troops from
every direction, for Count 0. peniaoff having pressed
upon the French towards the left flank with ten re-
giments of Cossacks, had excited much alarm acid
trepidation.

•' At this favourable interval I ordered my divi,
sion to advance to the attack with peat rapiclit y, and
the result was, that the enemy was driven from every
position he had occupied at the commencement of the
action. Under these circumstances I continued my
approach to the left flank of the enemy, in order to
join the force with General 0. Denizoff.
' During these operations I had learnt nothing of
the progress of Count Osterman, but I presumed he
was with General Doctoroff, as the infantry of the
enemy still kept possession of the verge of the wood
which we had passed. In this uncertainty I ordered
the infantry jo charge with the bayonet, when they '
rushed into the intrenchments, and both the columns
of which the euemy's force consisted took flight, and
not one man would have escaped if the cavalry could
have been at this time engaged in thepursuit.
,4 I now hastened to the division of General Doc-
toroff, who, as I supposed, was with Count Oster.
tnat, and I ordered him to take possession of a third
height, which enabled us to molest the enemy by a
cross tire. Count 0. Denizoff at this time attacking
the left`flanic of the. enemy, the fortune of the day was
complete, so that with the small number of troops I
have described, I had the honour of forcing the
army of the Nes.pplitaa King to a disgraceful flight,
taking one stand of colours of the Cuirassiers, 38
pieces of cannon, a great quantity of arritylmition, the
equipages of the King, ail the Acere baggage, aR4
a prodigious booty.
44 We captured 1100 men in the pursuit for 14
worsts, and among them is one General and 12 Offi-
cers of the Staff. Two thousand were kilted, end
