LESCIILSCHA, UNDER DATE OF 2D (11TH) OCT., AS

FOLLOWS :-

66 Lieut.-Colonel Bedroga, of the bum regiment
of hussars, was sent with his regiment of hussars to
the other side of the Duna, to cover the movements
of the corps under the command of Lied... General
Count Stinhall. This Lieut.-Colonel reports, on
eSth Sept., (Oct. 10), that he, after having crossed,
on the 91th.Sept. (Oct. 6), the river by swimming,
had defeated a battalion of the enemy's infantry,
about CO of whom were cat down. The prisoners
taken were three Officers, and 00 non-commissioned
officers and privates. We had seven privates killed
and 18 wounded. I am sorry to state that in this
affair the brave Lieut. Apserrow, of the Isum regi-
ment, was severely wounded, whom we were obliged
to leave behind, on account of the impossibility of
bringing him across the river by swimming, and who
consequently fell into the enemy's hands."

offensive movements. On the Ist (13th) of October,
at nine at night, I retired along the road leading to
Moscow. On the 30th September (October 12) ex-
I cursions were made by parties of • Cossacks from the
Cossack regiment on the Jaraslow road, towards the
right flank of the enemy, on his communication
with Moscow, as also on his left by parties from
Tschaschuikowo, to Sucharewa, and from Rogats-

respect to the movement upon Dmitrow, I believe
the Motive of it war to conceal the movemiait which,
accordingio all accounts I have received, the enemy
at the same time made on our Grand Army. I have
this-moment sent off orders again to occupy the
town of 11,4kusseis4c, towards which the paroles
sent by Major Figleu daily approach.

is. incessantly harassed by parties of Cossacks from
my detachment."
