In addition to the statements contained in
the Gazette Extraordinary, the following
particulars were yesterday made public,
end may be considered as official -
:" In the battle OF the 18th ult. between
General Kutosow and Murat Prince Ponia-
tuwskv, VINO commanded the 5,h corps of
the French army, was killed, and Generals
Jonville, Money. and Daru made prison
ers. The loss of the French Cannon was in
great measure owing to the weather's being
Uncommoniy bad, and the roads so cut up,
rs to be almost impossible. The horses Of
the French cavalry, from want OF forage,
and not being Injured to the climate, were
feeble, and scarcely tit for service whilst
tue Russian horses were III their usual good
condition."
The account of General Count Win
zingerode's having been taken prisoner by Il
French detachment, whilst accommodating
at u distance from Moscow, is confirmed"
The ReHgoiaad mail, which, arrived yes
terday, brought letters and Altoona papers
TO the 3oth ult 1t appears from these, that
the news of the recapture OF Moscow, by
the Russians, has spread over the Continent
with uneXampled rapidly, and produced
every where the most powerful sensation.
At Warsaw, the puppets of the French who
act as Magistrates, with Count Stanislaus
Potocki At their head, were thrown into 4

are seized with it TO pneumonia affections, or
Inflammation ofthe lungs. II is true, that a
large proportion Of these, although in state

Nearly 500 ofgeneral Chambers brigade, who
