lation given by the others who, after that capital was
taken by the enemy, fled from it, via that the French
incessantly contiriue to plunder the city, and that

who surpais even the Tartars in cruelty and savage-
ness, who once destroyed our country, have not re-
spected at Moscow even the sanctity of the churches.
Several churches in that city have been plundered,
destroyed, and set on fire, and others converted into
