• KONICREERG, Ano. 9.—On the 6th arrived here
Marshal the Duke of Bellow). The next day he re•
viewed the troops in this city.
WittzsAW,'Aro. is confirmed that the tin.
peror Alexander ems extended the left wieg of lois
corps &armee to Smolensk, to facilitate by that
means his junction with l'rinte Bagration. We have
reason to believe, that for once the enemy will make
a stand and defend their. owa eoeutry. As-cording
•tothis movement upon Smolensk, it seems that tha .
-Russians have no other object than that of encoring .
•the two capitals of 13.etersliurgh and Moscow, t! e
-first of which is menaced by the French army, which
marches with celerity tewarols it by. Newla and
NValkii Luke, and the second by the. army sikch

from Turkey. that Czerly Qeorses, General its
'Chief, had arrived at Ilelgradb, and declared to the
Senate of the Servian.Nation, that it could no Initger
rely- upon the Russians, who load failed in alt.the en.
gagements which they had contracted with "that ,uas,

mating to that power, delivering up all their for...
tresses and places, and placing their treops .at the. •
'disposition of the Emperor Alexander.. propo.
sitions were rejected..
VIENNA, Acco. 19.—The Court Gar.ette g;v,s the
continuation of the journals of the operations of the
Austrian auxiliary corps.
" On the 16th July, Captain Braqaeville of the
hussars of Kielimayer, passed the 13.1 g at 4I:ulo:ra,
surprised a piquet of Cossacks, and inade,the Ocncor
and his soldiers poisoners.
" On the 17th, we tool at Blink 4 Rassian Of.
fibers anil 131 soldiers. On the same day the Colo.
nel of the regiment of hussars of Hesse Ilninhurg,
which kid been sent to.. the banks of the cued of
Oginske, took a convoy of 196 waggons and 393
horses.

44. On the 19th, the Austrian auxiliary corps
marched in two columns upon Nieswitz. The one
took the great rold of li:et:scour, the other, corn•
mantled by the Fieltl.MarsLal Lieufenant Baron de
Frimunt inclined vpon Pinsk and Soltiesin ; Captain
Paulini, of the 11,1ssars of the Emperor, surprised on
that day a Russian post at Lulyitz, and took the
()Aker and horses prisoners. some Russian troops.
having come up to support this post, Lieutenant

two regiments of infantry entered Kossow, to re-
lieve the Austrian Major-General Dachmiesten.
44 On the 25th, the Russians advanced . upon
Pinsk, which was occupied by the Field-Marshal
Lieutenant Baron de Frimout. The object of the
enemy was to retake the considerable magazines
which had before been taken from them; but alter
several hours skirmishing they were obliged to retire
with great loss. Four divisions of carriages of the
Austrian auxiliary corps emptied a part of these
magazines into 966 waggons. On this occasion a
company of the regiment of the frontiers of Waras-
din, made a fine defence against the enemy, who at-
tempted to proceed beyond La Pina.
" On the 21111, the Field-Marshal Lieutenant
Frimt,ut gave up to the Saxons the positions which,
he had till then occupied,, as well as the magazines
at Pinsk, which had not been emptied, and began

in the Saxon pests at Brzesc, attacked their ad.
vanced-guard at Kobryn, and that the object of this
corps seemed to be to advance to cut off our corn-
muniaation with the Duchy of Warsaw. In coo.:
sequence the Austrian auxiliary corps remained at
Neiswits, 'to support, in case of need, General
Regnier, and, to be able to attack the enemy is cog-
cert with him.

44 On tbellst, in the afternoon, intelligence was
received from. General Regnier, that the Saxon
General, de Klengel, after having defended Kobryti
with much bravery, during ten hours, Lad been
obliged to surrender with the greatest part of his
