A CHALLENGE. •
MESSRS. CURRIF and Co. Surgeons, late iii

The enemy's army, in retiring, burn the bridges
and destroy the roads, in order to retard the march
of the French army as much as possible. On the
21st, they had re-passed the Borysthenes at Slob-
Padwa, always closely followed by our advanced
guard.

The commercial establishments at Smolensko were
quite untouched on the Borysthenes, in a flue su-
burb, to which the Russians set fire, for the sole
purßese of retarding our march n single hour. Never
was war conducted with so much inhumanity : the
Russians treat their own country as they would (hat
of an enemy. The country is fine, and abundantly
supplied with every thing. The roads are admir-

Prince Schwartzenberg writes from Ossiati, on the
17th, that his advanced guard has pursued the enemy
on the road to Divin,—that he has taken some hun-
dreds afprisoners,—and obliged the enemy to burs
his baggage. General Bianchi, however, whe corn•
Mands the advanced-guard, has succeeded in seizing
SOO baggage-waggons, which the enemy could neither
carry off, nor destroy. The Russian army under
Tormasow, has lost almost all its baggage.
The equipage for the siege of Riga has begun to
move from Tilsit for the Dwina.

Gen. St. Cyr has taken a position on the Drissa.
The rout of the enemy at the battle of Polotsk, on the
18th, was complete. The brave Bavarian Gen. Deroy
was wounded in the field of honour, at the age of 72,
after nearly 60 years service. His Majesty has no•
minuted him a Count of the Empire, w ith a revenue
of 30,000 francs. The Bavarian corps behaved with
much bravery. His Majesty has granted it rewards
and honours.
The enemy gave out that he would make a stand at
Doroghohouj. He had, according to custom, thrown
up earth and constructed batteries. The army har-
ing shewn itself in order of battle, the Emperor re-
paired thither ; but the enemy's General thought
better of it,—boat a retreat,—and abandoned Dorog.

The capture of Smolensko appears to have bad a
sad effect on the spirit of the Russians. It was called
Smolensko the Sacred; Smolensko the Strong; the
Key of Moscow ; besides a thousand other common
sayings. Whoever has Smolensko, has Moscow, say
the peasants.
The heat is excessive : it has set rained for a
