66 After the plan being formed for the attack of
Mitts', the enemy would not resolve on accepting a
battle, but before the arrival of your Imperial Ma-
jesty's troops, retreated by the road of Wurzau
towards Bausk, whither he was permed by the
cavalry ; 50 men were taken prisoners, and the
enemy left 190• men behind them in the hospital.—
We have likewise taken four pieces of brass can.

provisions, and a great number of pelisses, taken in
Courland by the enemy, on regulation, of which I
have the honour to inform your Imperial Majesty.—
I Anil not neglect forwarding the particulars of this
affair."

" The army, which is at present on the old Kalouga
road, and by its position covers Tula, Kalouga, and
Orel, has happily performed the movement which I
submissively explained in my Report of the 18th inst.
The army) by making this Bank movement, after
having crossed the river Moakwa, to conceal its in-
tention, put the enemy into doubt by every march,
and masked itself, whilst taking its road to the in-
tended point, by false movements of the light troops,
who made demonstratious towards Kolomna, and
sometimes•towards Supuchow, which were followed
by large bodies of the enemy ; the rear-guard, which
crossed the river Pochra, followed after, and it is at
present In a parttilel line with the army towards
Aloskwa, about ten %vents distance, and has not been
disturbed by the enemy) since turning off from the
road to Kolomna.

We, this morning, received from oar Correspond.
ent at Falmouth, the following important Letter, by
which it will be found that our affairs in Spain
assume a very serious aspect, and we may JlOOll ex-
pect to hear of a general engagement between our
army and the French, near Madrid. With all the
respect which we entertain for the military talents of
Lord Wraa.txctom, and the brave English army under
his command, we cannot contemplate the result of the
approaching conflict without the most anxious emo-
tens for their safety. If the result depended upon
the bravery of our troops and the skill of our Com-
sunder, we should entertain no, fear for the conse-
quences ; but if SuvLr and Sucurr have collected
80,000 men, we fear that Lord IVELL/Nwreie will
not be able to raise a force sufficient to oppose
them ; and the event of one day might not only de-
. vide the fate of Spain and Portugal, but produce the
Ong grievous calamity to this country.

"The enemy, who has lost sight of our army, and
still remains in doubt, detaches strong parties out on
different roads, to discover us. On the 7th (tOth),
the Major-General, with a party of Cossacks, and
the Mariapol Hussars, discovered the enemy, near
the village of Smolensk*, attacked, four regiments of
the enemy's meshy, and made 200 men prisoners,
together with a Colonel, 16 (Aced, and 40 subalterns.

Government this morning received some further
dispatches from Sr 'alas SAUKAUX, of two days
later date than what appeared in last night's Ga-
zette; bat they do not contain any news of a fa:
ramble description. Sr Jalapa had shifted his flag
from the Videry to a frigate, for the purpose( of re-
turning to this country.

We are led to hope that the distressing account of
the less of the Orocernbo cartel from America, with
195 out of 200 possengen, on the coast of Ireland, is
incorrect. A Gentleman who left Liverpool one day
later than the date of the letter alleging the loss
states the circumstance as a vague unauthentiaLW
report; and according to our New York Paper, of
rise 29th September, the Oreaembo was advertised for
passengers from the Chesapeake— It is not likely,
therefore, that she would sail befBre a fortnight or
three weeks after this advertisement, and she could
not easily have arrived in thi *Galion assigned for
her loss, at the time meetbsei J.

Mr. Junes, Mr. Keratin, and several other Mem-

some other popular and patriotic toasts were drank,

unmanageable state of the ship (she laying a perfect
wreck) could ever have induced me to do, conceiving
it was my duty not to sacrifice uselessly the lives of
, the men, without ally prospect of success, or of lle•
nefit to their country. On the larboard side about
thirty shot had taken effect, about five sheets of cop.
per down, and the mizen-mast had knocked a large
hole wider her starboard counter, and she was so
completely shattered, that the enemy found it was
I impossible to refit her sufficiently to attempt carrying
her into pie, and they set lire to her as soon as they
had got the wounded out. What considerably
