terms OF peace.
The two armies are stated to be nearly
equal, being about ID O0OO each In two

carried, their redoubts taken, and the
French artillery, which appears to- have
been immense, placed on their heights.
Two hours appear to have been sufficient
for this great result, and had the day clo-

Russians. But the latter, undismayed by
the loss of their batteries, renewed tie

IN this attempt they displayed degree Of

the numbers taken in the pursuit. In addi-

BY a private letter, dated on the tenth

seen, Geographic dispatches are said to
have reached that capital, announcing the
arrival of the French at Moscow. We fear
this intelligence may coincide with fact
1t is further stated that the Russians had
lost 80, 600 men i'll the battles which pre-
coded the occupation of that city if so,
there must have been other engagements
a .er that of Moskwa-and lastly, Sit is adj
