a fir from all imposing number of guns, and direct
81 General Count Toll to reconnotre the position of
| the rebels as closely as possible. Count Toll re-
ported TO me that their whole efforts were d.
rccted against the right wing of the advanced guard
of Count Pahlcn, probably with the design of
preventing his juncl ion with the column of Ba-
Rosen against which tley had opposed their first
division of infantry ;1.slon of Hulans, and a nu-
merous artillery. Consequently, Count Toll sent

right sing of which supported by the regiment
of ugria and the centre by four pieces Of artillery
and four guns. AS | was informed of this
determination hasened in person towards the head
of our I'd division infantry, in order to support the
advanced guard and after having strengthened the
left wing by snmc battaons of this division, gave
orders the half squadron of the regiment of Lub-
no llussars which formed my escort, and the batta-
ion of sappcTs, which also accompanied me, to fall
upon the enemy, whose skirmishers were preparing
| to occupy the height Immediately bordering the
road, and to seize possession of the battery upon its
summit. From fAnoment the contest took another
appearance, and 80 carried every thing before u.s.
Count Toll led the right wing of the LIST corps. At
the centre, tn, left wing, Count Pahen ove,thr w
the rebels at every po!n, and the King of Wurtem-
burgs gmenC of Nurse cbasseurs, under my own
Immediate orders, completely broke through the en-
emys infantry, and occasoned them considerable loss

prisoners was very ably seconded in the execu-
ton of all these dispositions by General Neidhart
artcr-Mnster General of the army. Not havinp
received any !2p"rts from the commanders Of the
different corps, am unable lay before your Majesty
all the details of this sanguinary contest, which be
gan at wersts, and TERMINATED wers,S from Praga
/ in view OF the inhabitants Of Warsaw. All that we
can learn from the prisoners is. that the whole of
the army, composed Of 10000 men, antry ami ca
valry, with 80 pieces OF cannon, engaged in this
action On our side, at the commencement of it, as
have before had the honor OF stating to your Ma
Jnsty, very small number Of our troups took part
afterwards, when the achievements arrived and I'M
IL lis conclusion, less than the half of army was
employed; for neither the Guards, commanded bv
his Imperial Hghness the CEarowsh, snor the Sd
division Of Cu'rassiers, nor the cops Of Grcnaders
came into the battle. Our loss may he estimated at
about 200 men killed and wounded. Among the last
to our great regret, is the brave commander of the
artillery, General SOuschoZanet, Major General
Vassoff, of the Cossacks, and Major General Afros-
Snoif, Colonel Bodske, and some other officers were
also wounded. The loss of the enemy must have
been considerable. if we may iudee by the number
of killed left upon the field of battle As soon as
the reports and other particulars shall have been sent
IN to me, | shall hasten TO forward 10 your Imperial
Majesty, circunstanal detail of this battle with
an account of the previous movements" r
