WARSAW, Nov. 81.
We have intelligence from the corps of
the army under the command OF Prince
Schwartzcnberg to the l4lh and 17th OF
this month.
When admiral TschitschagoG advanced
upon Minyk, he left Considerable corps
behind HIM, under the command of gene
rails Sacken and Essen, with orders to at
rack the prince SchwartZenbure' rear ii he
| should attempt TO follow Tschi,. hagoif-
1t was probable that this corps was inten-
ded to act against the grand dutchy of
Warsaw, if the plan of operations against
Prince Schwartzenburg had succeeded.
The Russian army attacked the rear
guard Of Saxon, and Austrian corps under
the command of general Regnier, and the
Saxon troops lately arrived under general
Durette. -.
There was some sharp fighting on the
l4,h and 18th instant in which the Russians
ost $500 men killed and 500 prisoners. BY
Information that has been Just received
| from IpElna more important results may be
expected. &. ,as ., -. :.
Already courier has arrived here from
general Regnier bringing intelligence toge-
| neral Dutarilis .Commandant of Warsaw,
with intelligence that the Prince Schwart
| zenburg had appeared suddenly with the
| auxiliary corps, near lzabelin, and had a
general action with the Russian army. Az
| the departure Of the Courier 5000 prisoners
had been made, with all the baggage, and
| considerable number of Wagons. The
| enemy were pursued OH the road to Prulga-
ma.
WILMA, Dec. 2.
An arrival from the headquarters at
| Borisow, give the result of those grand
| movements, which we announced as having
taken place on the Duna and the Borus-
lines. 1t is now very clear what were the
dispositions made by the Russians, in order
to stop the march of the grand army, from
reaching its winter quarters. The plan
was profoundly conceived, but the executi
on OF it was not quite easy, against one If
| the greatest captains the world ever produ-
| ced, and the first of armies.
The Prince of Schwartzenburg was on
the 10th of Nov. at Sonin, distant from
| BoriSnow so leagues-the emperor arrived
on the 9th of November at the last named
place.
1t is now CERTAIN that all our communica-
ions are we'll established.
PARIS, Dec. IA.
The Emperor slept On the 29th of Nov
at Mordeschenow, which is OH the great road
from Minsk 70 wilma. On the 28th there
was great battle fought with the corps un-
der Taschiitschakoff. This was a dread
ful affair, we have taken from the enemy
| many thousand prisoners.
Noldeschenozv. which in many maps is
| written 9foiodsizno, is about IS leagues from
wilma, and ~ IS from Minsk. Berezyna,
where is stationed the dnke Reggie, is about
Is leagues north east of Moldeschenow.
December l6.-Letters from Warsaw,
Wilma and Posen say, that the divisions of
Durette, Lagrange and Loosen, the Neapo-
Ii, an division, the guards of Tuscany and
Turin, the battalions of the Imperial
guards. have reached the Niemen. This
mass of forces amount to 10000 men, and
will cause the Russians to pause. The
| union of the Cd, 9th and 10th corps, the
oaxons and austria ii5, will p-cSeG. an i'm
posing force, and makes the grand army
superior to what it was at the beginning of
the campaign. In the front and rear Of
Moscow the Russians have made the coup-
| try a desert, can they then maintain them
selves on this side the Duna and the Borys-
| tines That is a question which at this
time presents itself. ~
