GRAND ARMY.
FROM THE higNITLOR OF THE 7TH.)

64 Moscow, September 20.

" Three hundred incendiaries have been arrested
end shot ; they were provided with fuses, six inches
long, which they had between two pieces of wood ;
they had also squibs, which they threw upon the
roofs of the houses. The wretch, Rostopchin, had
these prepared on the pretence that he wished to send
a balloon, full of combustible matter, amidst the
French Army. }le thus got together the squibs and
other materials, necessgry for the execution of his
project. _ _ _

46 The fires. subsided on the 19th and 20th ; three
quarters of the city are burned ; among other palaces
that beautiful one of Catharine, which had been
newly furnishea--not above a quarter o 4 the houses
remain.

" While Rostopchin was taking away the fire en-
gines of the city, he left behind him 60,000 muskets,
Iso pieces of cannon, more than 600,000 balls and
shells, 1,500.000 cartridges, 400,0001b5. of gunpow-
der, 400,0001h5. of saltpetre and sulphur. It was
not till the 19th that the powder, saltpetre, and sul-
'Phor were discovered at a fine establishment, half a
league from the city—this is a matter of importance;
We are now supplied wits ammunition for two cam,
paigns. We every day discover cellars full of wine
and brandy.
" Manufactures were beginning to flourish at Mos-
cow : t'ley are destroyed. The conflagration of this
capital will. throw Russia 100 years, back.
Tne weather is becoming rainy ; the greatest
part of the ..my is in barracks, ill Moscow."

wretch. Glory shall be the meed of those who may
die in the contest ; their grateful country will pre-
serve the memory of these who die in the cause; those

PROCLAMATION OF THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF MOSCOW,
ROSTOFCH IN.
a It has been reported here that I have forbidden
any one to leave the city. If that were the case, sol-
diers would be seen stationed at the barriers, and
thousands of carriages of all kinds would not have
egress on all sides. I am pleased that ladies and
merchants'• wives should avoid inconvenience by
quitting the city. The less fear the less danger • but
1 blame, very much the husbands, brothers, and fa-
thers of those women who have accompanied them
without any intention of returning. It is acting ill
if they think there is danger, and they load them-
selves wib shame if there be none.
" I will answer it upon my life that the enemy will
not enter Moscow, and for this reason: in the armies
there are 140,000 chosen men, 1800 pieces of cannon,
and his Highness Prince Butusow has been chosen
by the Emperor to command the whole army. In
the rear of the enemy, the corps of General Tor-
massow and Pchitchagow amount to 85,000 chosen
men, infantry and cavalry.
66 General Miloradavitsz has arrived from WA.
knot at Mojaidc with 30,000 infantry, 3800 cavalry,
and 84. guns.
66 Count Markow will be there ih the course of
three days with 24,000 men, who will be followed by
7,000 more. There are at Moscow, Klin, Zavidow,
and t'odolsk, 14,000 infantry ; if these troops should
be insuffwient to defeat the perfidious enemy, I will
My to you, 4 Come, my Muscovite friends, let us too
march 1 we will assemble 100,0(X) went we will
take the image vi cite VAT Virgin, 04 140 pieces

of anon, and we will put an end to the business at
once.'
46 The enemy has 150,000 men of his own, and
such as he has been able to collect. They are now
feeding on horse flesh.
This is what I have thought proper to commu-
nicate to you, in order that some of you may rejoice,
and others become tranquil, particularly on ac-
count of the expected arrival of the Emperor in his
faithful capital.
14 Read ! it is easy to comprehend all—but draw
no inferences from what 1 have communicated."

MOSCOW.

gg &Yr. 12.—1 shall proceed tomorrow to confer
with his Highness Prince Kutusow, in order to adopt,
in conjunction with him, such means as will lead to
the extermination of your enemies.
41 We will deprive these guests of their lives, and
send them to the devil.
gg I will return to dinner, and we will commence
our operations to grind these perfidious wretches to

COPENHAGEN, SEPT. to.
We hear from Langeland, that on the 4th of this
month, one of the enemy's vessels chased a Danish
vessel, which was forced to take refuge under the
batteries of Fruensraenge. The battery had an en-
gagement with the enemy's vessel, which lasted 20
minutes. She was obliged to sheer off, after having
received much damage. The battery has not suffered,
nor have any of our artillery men been wounded.
The Danish Journal, entitled Dagen, of the 19th
of September, contains the following intelligence
from Randers, of the 14th :
44 One of the enemy's brigs, conv,iying 27 mer-
chant vessels, passed near Skagen on the loth, enter-
ing the Cattegat. On the 11th a frigate and a brig,
convoying 18 vessels, passed in the same direction.
On the same day two ships of the line and three
brigs were seen near Hielman. On the lith a brig
with a convoy of 32 vessels left the Cattegat. On
the 13th two ships of the line passed near Ramsoe,
making sail for the Great Belt. On the same day a
fleet of merchantmen passed near Skagen, entering
the Cattegat, and a frigate and a brig coming from
the North cast anchor near Hielman."
SEPTEMBER 22.—The forces assembled in Zealand
have never been so considerable as at presear. They
are estimated at more than 40,000 men. Our road

in attempting to cross the river Stry on the 9th, with
I a detachment near Guidawa, we made a reconnoi-
lance on our side towards Lutzk, and found that the
enemy had burned the bridge and laid that city un-
der water, being advantageously encamped behind
in a pos.tion near Dworetz, but that beside these,
there were no no enemy's troops on this side the Stry.
General Regnier undertook at the same time a simi-
ilar reconnoisance near Radomisl, with a Saxon Corps.
