Camp of the Viceroy, had his thigh fractured by a WI.

The Emperor arrived at Bechenkoviski on the 24th, at two
o'clock iu the afternoon. The division of cavalry of General
Count Bruyers, and the division of General Count St. Genitals,
were sent forwasiso Witepsk, and passed the night midway on
the road.
On the 20th, the Prince of Eekinuhl marched upon Mohilaw.
Two thousand axe' who formed the garrison of that city, had
the hardihood to wish to defend it. They were cat to piece, by
the light cavalry.
On the 21st, 3XIO Cossacks attacked the advanced posts of the
Prince of Eckmanld. They were the advanced guard of Prince
sagration, and had come from Bobrousk. A battalion of the
85th etOpped this cloud of light cavalry, and drove them to a
great distance. Bagration a;:peared to have profited of the little
activity with which be was pursued, to proceed upon Bobrunsk,
and thence he returned upon Mobilow.
We occupy Mohilow, °reins, Disna, and Polotsk. We are
marching oil Witepsk, where, it appears, that the Russian army
is collected.

PA Kis' Ave. s.—The progress of the French and
Allied Armies, as announced in the last Bulletin,
when examined by the map, exhibit the most impor-
tant results, and afford a certain presage of a glori-
ous termination to the campaign. It is remarkable
that the main body ;of the French army, united at
Oula, where the Dwiva and the Dnieper approaoh
nearest to each other, is now at a distance almost
equal from Tilsit, the ancient boundary, of the Rus-
sian territories, f. °ma Pefersburgh, from Moscow,liall
from Riovie, le three principal cities of Russian
Europe. Orcha, where one of the corps of the Grand
Army is at present, is situated on the high road from
Wilqa to Moscow, and upon one of the routs which
lead from Petersburgh to Riow. The distance from
Orcha to Wilna, by the way of Minsk, is about 80
leagues (25 to a degree); to Tilsit, from 133 to
140 ; and to Vaiscovie, by the way of Minsk and
Honim, about 70. Orcha lies bpder the
metldtan with Petessburgh, and. is 135' le**
in a straight line upon the map, but the road
is full of windings, on account of the lakes and'
marshes betwixt Witepsk and Wellki Laki.--).
The following are the distances from Orcha to
Moscow, according to the map of the posts :
From Orcha to Smolinsk, 101 werstes, or 24j
leagues • from Smolinsk to Dorogehasz, 87 werstes,
or 25.1'leagui•a; from Derogate's to Wiaiona, 77
werstes, or 19+ leagues; from Wisisma tft Mosaisk,4
115 werstes, or 284 leagues; fromtMosaisk to Mos.,
cow, 99 werstes, or 244 leagne4, Total rilliggArat
from Orcha to Meskow, 118 0r.119 bargees.. For
the lest fifteen' days, the situation of the Russian
armies has become more embarrassing. This is abun-
dantly evident from a glamor at the map. The Em-
peror Alexander had announced, in his First Bulle-
tin, that the army, commanded by Miaself in per-
son, was to form a junction' with that under Prince
Bagration. This object has net been attained. The
'Grand Rtissien Army has in vain fallen back from
Wilna to Drina, and from Diissa to Witepsk, a dis-
tance of more than eighty leagues. The corp. of
frenth posted, at Order,- has taken each a poeitte,
that the Emperor Alexander, at Witepsk, and Prilbee
Bagration, .at Moir., cannot exclamige intelligence,
except by 1111tielaw and Smolinst, a circuit of 110
leagues; ' Itte military .poiot of Sew; these two ar-
