the enemy, yet neither the danger
mr. the heat of the enemy's fire:
which was kept up on all sides. could
detain your Imperial Majesty's
troops. The Smolensk battalion un-
der its gallant commander d.st'n-
puisbed itself in most striking
manner; thrice it drove the enemy
out of the very strongest pos't'oo' q
il was merely the darkness OF the
n;pht. and our not being perfectly ac'
uuainted with the roads ard situation
which saved the enemy from total
destruction. The battle eommenc-
ed at five o'clock and ended at ele-
ven o'clock at night. After the
quick retreat made by the enemy
from all the places possessed by am.
remained on the field Of battle till
nine in the morning. This corps OF
the enemy consisted of Ave thousand
men. real French troops, command,
ed by General Dzueanowske, anti
under him the Grand Major Guer-
san, Adiutant to Marshal Junot,
was next in command.
After defeating the enemy, and
restoring the communication with
A.syr. I returned there again tie
following day, and on the 10th (22c)
September arrived here. In thesa
last battles We have taken five su
ye;ior officers. ard - men Of lower
rank. and they have left above 1000
men dead on The field Of battle. TIE
loss on our side is tri..ing compared
with thai of the enemy il consists
Of 1 officer and Is men killed. aud
three Officers and iO1 rank aud liie
wounded.
This diversion, totally unexpected
by the enemy, has obtained for US the
following advantages -
1. General Dumbrcusai has here
upon collected all his forces fose
thor, and is ratreatins back to Mohi.
low. leaving the fortress of Bohru
isk free, which was surrounded by
him on all sides.
2. All the conveys passing from
RepsGhiza and Legew. with the SUI
plies OF cattle for the provisioning
that fortress, can now pass withOnt
danger, and bring us sufficient pro-
visions.
5. The magazines collected by
the enemy are destroyed, and the
whole enemy corps Of 5000 men,, is
notwithstanding our very severe
march, having been Obliged 10 per.
form SSs wersis in IL days. without
one day Of rest. totally dispersed.
We were s bours engaged in b"'tIe,
and twice Or hours va were without
water, and almost without any thing
70 Ell but no hindTnD-es could pre-
zen, your Imperial .Hajesty'' troops
from pressing on TO the defeat OF
their enemies.
TIE remainder of this dispatch
consists Of aiSairs of posts. in All
which the hus-iaHs. who entered
pinsk, appear to nave had the advan-
tage.
