The dispatches received by i'overnment, sfrwn
Lord, CATUCA!T and 4r IWO SAttMARET, are not
of a more recent date than those which have been al.
ready communicated to the Public on the subject of
the batik of Mojaisli.
We have however this instant received private let-
ters from St. Petersburgh, dated 18th September,
which confirm the statement of Kurusore's victory
in a most striking manner, and enable us to account
for the French having entered Moscow with compa-
ratively little opposition. General KUTUSOII most
I unquestionably remained in possession of the field
iof battle on the 7th, and the Cossacks pursued•the
french cavalry 15 wersts in the direction of Kalouga,
(whither they fled with great precipitation. At Ka-
llouga they Must have been joined by the French Em-
peror in person, with the advanced guard, who seized
that opportunity of taking the Toad to Moscow by a
detour to the left from Kalouga:
The following Is one of the communications with
which we have been favoured—it is from a person in
a high official situation at the Russian Capital :

41 ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. IS.
" I have jdst seen Kutusoff's Aid-de Camp, who
left the field of battle at Mojaisk, on the evening of
the 7th, after dark. The victory was then complete,.
And the Cossacks tinder Platow, had set out on a
night Attack after the rear=guard tithe French army,,
composed of the cavalry under Murat, who was in
hill retreat for Kalougaz

.44 Bonaparte thinking hithself unsafe in his posi-
tion at Mojaisk, had accompanied MunAT in person
on the road to Kalouga. The French prisoners, when
brought in, stated that Murat was run through the
llody by a Cossack, soon after the retreat was sounded,
and that he had fallen from his horse. It was Ku-
tnsoff's intentioh to renew the action after taking up
another position ; the entrenchthents whiCh he threw
up having been destroyed by the dreadful cannonade
of both armies on the 7th.

14 No dotibt whatever can be entertained from the
infolmation I have been able to gather, that the vic-
tory was complete on the part of the Russians.—.
Kutusoff, who was on horseback and sa* the whole
of the affair, repeatedly uttered exclamations of joy ;
arid at night he kissed all the Officers, who came
round him with the returns from their various corps.
—,-The prisoners brought in by the Russians were
mostly poles, Italiahs, Spaniards, and Swiss—all mi-
serable looking wretches in their appearance ; none
but the officers were French. They have been march-
ed for St. Petersburgh."
