In general, throughout all his cameeizo, this Prince has shown himself worthy of the supreme rank :n which he is pieced. " However, the Emperor wishing :o oblige the enemy to evacuate lrs intrenched camp, and drive them several marches hack, in order to be able tranquilly to proeecd to the countries chose.: he - the winter quarters, and actually necessary to be occupied fur the execution of Ilk ulterior projects, on the 17th ordered Ceueral Lewiston, with his advanced etterd, to place himeelt behind the creole of Wiekowo, order that his movements might not he perceived. " Ater Moscow had ceastd te exist, the Emperor had determined either t e atm& n t his heap of ruins, or city occupy the K retnlin with :lee° mcii ; but the K rennin, atter fifteen days laeour, was not judged sufficiently strong to be abandoned for twenty or thirty days to its own forces. It w .uld have weakened and incommoded the eeny in its movements, without giving a great advantage. if we wish to protect Moscow from the beggar) and plunderers, 20,000 men would have been necessary. Moscow is at present a truly un healthy and impure sink. A population of 200,000 wandei leg in the eeighbourieg woods, dying with hunger, come to these ruins, to seek what remnies, and vegetables in the gardens to support life. It epe paired useless to compromise any thing whatever for an object which was of no military importance, and which has now become of no political importance. All the magazines which were ie the city [ntitle been carefully examined, the others emptied, the Emperor caused the Kremlin to be mieed. The Duke of Istria caused it to ha blown up at two o'clock, a. m. on the 211 ; the arsenal, barracks, uneezines, all were destroyed. This ancient citadel, which takes its date from the foundation of the Monarchy, this first Palace of the Ca , r, has been destroyed. she Duke of Treviso has marched for the Vereja. The Emperor of Russel'. Aid-de-Camp, B rot, Winzingerode having on the 22d, aeempted to penetrate at the head of 500 Cossacks, was rep ulsed and taken prisoner with a young Russian Officer named Narisken. " On the 19th, the head-quai nos were in the castle of Troitskoi ; they remained there on the 10th. On the 2lst they were at Igiiatien ; the e2d at Pomemskoi, all.the army having made two flank marches, and the 211 at Boruwsk. The Emperor reckons upon marching on the 21th, to gain the D wine, and taking a position which will bring hen within 80 league; of Petersburg and Vilna, a double advantage ; that is to say, 20 marches nearer his means and his object. " Of •11/00 stone houses which were in Moscow, not more than 200 remain. It has been said a fourth remained, because in that calcu lation 800 churches were cemprehereled, a pert of which are un threaeed. 018000 It .uses of wood, nearly 500 remain. It was proposed to the Emperor to burn what remained of this c:IY, to treat the Russians in tt.eir own way, and to extend this Leasure round Moscow. There are 2000 villages, and as many country houses and chateaux. ." It was p r op o sed to f c rm four columns of 2,000 men each, and charge th em with burning every thing for 20 leagues round Moscow. That will learn the Russians, said they, to make war according to rule, and not like Tartars. If they burn a village, a house, we must make them answer for it by burning I[o. The Emperor refused to allow these measures, which would have aggravated the misfortunes of this population. U t eOOO proprie tors, whose castles have been buraiel, 100 perh-ps would have been sectaries of the Murat of Russia, but 8900 are brave men, already too much the victims of some wretched men. To Punish one hundred guilty persons, 8900 would have been ruined. We must add, that it ould absolutely have left without resources 200,000 poor boors, innocent of every thing. ep " The E m p eror , t h ere f ore , contented himself with ordering the e structieu of the citadel an d , tnilitary establishments, aLcordnig to l the usages of war, w ith out d o i ng an y thi ng t o ruin individuals, already too unhappy by the consequences of this war.

" On t''e 27th Prince Poniatowski marched upon Vereja. " he 2lid the army was about to follow this movement, but in the afternoon we learnt that the enemy had quitted his entrenched camp, and was on march to the little town of Malioardslavitg. -It was found necessary to march after him, and obstruct his intentions. The Vice roy received orders to march. " Deleon's division arrived on the 231.1, at six in the evening, on the left bald:, took possession of the bridge, and caused it to be repaired. In the night between the 23d and 24th. the Russian division arrived in the town, and took possession of the heights on the right bank, which are extremely advantageous. "On the 21th, at day-break, the battle commenced. During ths time the enemy's army appeared quite entire, and took a position be hind the town. The divisions Delzon, Broussier, and Pino, and the Italian guard, were successively engaged. " This engagement does the greatest honour to the Viceroy, and the Ith corps of the army. Two-thirds of the enemy's army were en gaged to maintain his position ; but this was in vain, for the town was taken as well as the heights. " The enemy retreated so precipitately, that he was obliged to throw 20 p'cces of cannon into the river. Towards night, Marahal Prince Eckmuhl debouched with. his corps, and all the army was in battle with its artillery on the 25th, in the poeition which the enemy occu pied the night before. " The Emperor moved his head-quarters on the 24th. to the village of Ghorodnia. At seven in the morning 6000 cossacks, who had stepped into the wood, made a general litizza in the rear of his posi tion, and took six pieces of cannon which were parked. " The Duke of Istria set off a gallop with all the horse guard:: this hord was sabred, brought back, and thrown into the river ; the artillery it had taken was recovered, and several of its waggons were captured ; 600 of these Cossacks were killed, wounded, er taken ; SO Mon of the guards were wounded, and three ki led. " The General of Division, Count Rapp, had a horse killed under him, the intrepidity of which this General has given so many proofs, is shown on every occasion. At the csuunencement of the charge, the Cossack officers called the guard which they remembe ed (Musca dins de Paris) Paris Dainties. The Major-General of Dragoons, Letort, distinguished himself. At eight o'clock, order was re established. " The Emperor marched to Maloiardslavitz, reconnoitred the posi tion of the enemy, and ordered an attack for the next morning ; but in the night the enemy retreated. Prince Eckmuhl followed him for six hours. " The Emperor then let him go, and directed the movement upon Vereja. " On the 26th, head-quarters were at Itorowsk, and on the 27th, at Vereja. " Prince Eckrn uhl is, to-night, at Borowsk ; the Duke of Elchingen, at Mojaisk. " It is beautiful weather, the roads are excellent ; it is the end of autumn, this weather will last eight days longer, and at that period we shall have arrived in our new position. In the battle of Maloi ardslavitz, the Italian guard distinguished itself. I took the position, and maintained it. " The General Baron Delzons, a distinguished officer, was killed with three balls. Our loss was 1500 men killed or wounded; that of the enemy is 6or 7000. We found on the field ot battle 1700 Rut. sians, amongst whom were 1100 recruits, dressed in grey jackets, having !Licitly served two months. " The • :o K na:;an infantry is destroyed ; the Russian army would have no consistence :he numerous reinforcements of Cossacks recently arrived from the Don. Well informed persons assure us, that in the Ruisi*n infantry, the first rank only is composed of sol diers, and that the second and third ranks are filled with recruits and militia, and who, notwithstansling the promises made them, arc incorporated. " The Russians had three Generals killed. Gen. Count Pino was slightly wounded."
