DISPATCHES FROM LORD CATIN4B.II
Still does our intelligence from Russia caotima
afford us grounds for entertaining stroag and4;4l/

of the campaign. A Gottetxburgh Mail arrived $

The movement of KUTUSOFF froth Podolsk to XI-,
iouga, which is nearer Smolensk°, seems evidently to
have been occasioned by TORMABOW9S occupation of
Vie latter place, for the two armies will now be in
fa COmmetrication, and even if Boteaeiters takes
the desperate resolution of cutting his way back to,
arsavri w or Wilna, he may perhaps defeat KuroSOFF,
Lid thuteseape Scylla, to fall into the jaws of Cha-
rybdis stgraolensko. But he will, in all probability,
*inter et Moscow, and in this case the Russians
wall have still further opportunities of annoying him.
--Daring the inclement season, they can act, with
some prospect of at least partial success ; while the
French troops, and those of the Confederation, can-
not stir from their quarters. It is not unusual for a
person, not a native of Russia, who is bold enough
to venture
on horseback for a few hours near Mos-
cow, during winter, to be brought home by the
animal, sitting erect on the saddle, but frozen to
death! 1
But there is another Russian Proclamation in the
Si. Pardergh Garage, which fills our minds with
additional gratification. A determination to perse-
vere in the struggle while life remains is once more
boldly avowed : precautionary measures for removing
the valuables from St. Petersburgh, in the event of
the French being mad enough to penetrate in that
(Erection, have been taken ; and " it has been once
a for all fixed and determined, that whatever may
u be the progress of the enemy, rather to drain the
6 last drop of the cup of misery, than by a scanda.
44 lone peace to subject Russia to a foreign yoke."
these are sentiments worthy of a great and mag-
tmimous Sovereign. Oh! that they had been thus
manfully avowed and acted upon by the miserable
drivellers to whose baseness, cowardice and servility,
Burotie is 'indebted for the prostration ofher liberties !
As an alloy to the satisfaction which the intelligence
from Ros'Sia has given us, we lament to record the
death of the brave Prince BAGRATHION
.4, He should have died hereafter!"
Ora death, at this crisis, is equal to a victory obtain-
ad by the enemy.
In the Gottentiargh Papers, there is evidently a
transposition of the names of the Russian Generals.
Docronow, and not TORifAZOFF, is said to have oc-
tupied Smolensk°, while the latter is sent with his
army to Twer. .-A. glance at the map will chew that
Ibis is, as we have Stated, a Mistake.
The following is the substance of Lord CATH•
itaat's dispatches, as communicated by Ministers:
* Dispatches were last night received from St.
Petersburgh, dated the 4th instant, only one day
later than those before received. •
" The reports !slim Prince KUTUSOW, of the 29d
September, state that the army was on the Calur•
gene road, towards Tonle, Calough, Orei, and with
a strong party on the Mojaisk road.
* On the 19th he sent General FLORAISiCY, 'With
Vie 11th division of Cossacks and the Mere Polski
Hussars, to watch the enemy, who discovered four
• legiments of cavalry in the village Snamenslta, and
Made prisoners 400 men, 16 officers, and 40 petty
officers, leaving great numbers dead on the field.
" Oh the 21st and 22d of September, the Russian
panics brought in 600 prisoners.
" On the 28d, the day he writes, he had sent Ge-
neral DOIIOOYIPP on the Mojaisk road, who reports
having taken six officers and 200 men.
" In the mean while Lieut.-Colonel DAVIDOFF,
*di 150 light cavalry, had been active in cutting
off the enemy's communications between Gjatck and
kojaisir.
" And Adjutant-Gen. VVlsizawoznonst was active
m the Mojaisk, the Twer, and Jasvierlaff roads.
" Tilt abstract of General Donoco-?s Report is
Just reteiVed:—He states, that having sent Captain
IloiNA Oh the Mojaisk road, he had taken two Cap-
tains, five Officers, 92 men, with 36 waggons of ar-
tillery stores.

" Other accounts state, that in successful affairs of
Patties, 20 large waggons, with artillery stores, and
300 men had been taken.
" In addition to this official intelligence, there are
Private accounts of the 4th from Petersburgh, which-
State that WiIss2ENORRODE bad bad a brilliant affair
with MUliAr's cavalry, and taken Oh) guns sad 3000
tea prisoners."
ik Letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 2d of Oc-
' toper, contains as follows :
The Emperor's Manifesto has had a magic in-
elience on all classes ; every one takes up their arms
and matches off, and this they do voluntarily ; and
Wthough we have the best hopes of a happy result,
' ?et Preparations are every where made to meet the
liti_°tst that may happen, and I believe, should Napa-
'°n(l get possession of St. Petersburgh (which GOD
pent), he will not thereby be a greater gainer than
Wal by the taking of Moscow, where he found
,1
°thing but \mere articles of household furniture. All
the inhabitants had left the place—all merchant
goods were long before sent away, and there was
%thing more left him to take.'
