Got,enburg maitland another set of Par
~ Journals reached town yesterday besides
mails & dispatches from Lisbon, Cadiz, &
Brazils
Lord Catcii1iirt's dispatches are dated
ST. Petersburgh. the 22d December, and
inclose very long details from Gen. Kutu-
soH OF the 14th, written from the theatre of
the operations. They state. that in the
passage of the Beresi the Russians took
about 10000 prisoners. In the pursuit from
the Beresina to Wilma 1000 more fell into
their hands, including baggage &c. among
y
personal effects, and important state pa
pers.
The French reached wilma on the 9th
Dec. where the Russians, who arrived a.
bout the same time, took $4,000 prisoners,
and obtained possession Of the magazines
These dispatches make the number of
prisoners taken since the last account up
wards of 10000, reducing the 10000 to a.
bout $4,000. OF this latter number not more
than 10000 men were believed to be effec.
tive on the 18th ult. Little doubt, therefore
can be entertained of the entire annihila-
ton of the French Grand Army, especially
as Wittsgenstein reports that the Bavarian
divisions had been surrounded by Adjutah,
General AutusoHS corps, and cut off from
wilma.
It is, in facs, supposed that only a few of
hcers have escaped. Besides the prisoners,
the French have, since the last accounts,
lost 200 pieces of cannon, all their maya.
zines, stores, &c, Several General Officers
had been taken, among whom is General
Lefsbvre, who violated his parole, and
ran away from Chsltenham.
The Austrians might have effected a
most favorable diversion in favor Of the
French BY marching on to Wilma, but Gen.
Sachen hung upon their flank so closely as
TO deter them from attempting such move
ment, even had they been so inclined.
Gen, Khtusoff has issued Proclamation
to the Poles, offering clemency, and state
that it was his Imperial Majesty intent n
shat new organization Of Poland should
take place. For this purpose the EN-
