Guards under the command Of Gen.
Baron kuruta. The rebels being en-
tircly foiled by the dreadful FIRE Of the
artillery IN their attempt 10 carry the
heights. were compelled to retreatand
were pursued by the Russian cavalry.
Gen. Kuruta. who had reserved part
of the Imperial Guard To cover the
heights. which are 80 important for the
defence ot Wilma. now ordered the
cavalry Of the Guard and the Lithu-
auian regiments tn attack, which they
did with such impctuosity that the enc

the Wilma. The enemy being driven
across the river. and flying in conster-
nation Oh the road To Nauen he ordered
the light cavalry In pursue, which he
was induced Ia do by the news thai,
Count To!stoti. Commander-in.C Chief
OF the army Of reserve, was at the head
with two divisions. This iuncture
completely secures wilma, and will
afford means of acting with energy

only paragraph which we have We,

he died Of Cholera. The suggestion
Of self murder is hardly probable.
