Diqrttehes, of which the following are copies, were received last n'ght by Viscount Castlereagh, one of his Majesty's Principal Sccre ories of State, from General Viscount Cathcart, K. T. his Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Emperor of us , ia, dated at St. Peteraburgh, the 23d and lith of November, St. Petersburgh, Nov. 23. My Loa n—ln my dispatch of the 15th instant, I had the honour to detail such operations of Marshal Kutusefrs army as htid come to my knowledge up to t :se 9th of November ; since that date no report has been received of •the further proceedings of the corps entrusted to General Piatrff. The Field Marshal had calculated to reach Krasnoff on the litth instant ; but although he had advanced within a few worsts of that place, I have nt't heard that his head-quarters were established there on the 16th. His last dispatch of the latter date aft- nnunces his intention of forwarding a journal of the preccdieg days, which will contain important relations, hut it has not as vet been re. ceived. On the 9th of November, Count Orl9iFDenizo(F, being ad vanced on the roads towards Smolensko and Krasuoi, received intelli gence of the march of a French crops from Smolensk() in the direc tion of Kalruga, composed of fresh troops intended for the different regiments of guards ; this force was undi r the cemmatal of General Barraguay D'Hillicr, hay ng with him General Charpentier and Bri gadier-General A ugereau, brother to the NI asshal of tkar name. Thy were distributed in the three villages of Yaavin. Lake:if, and Deign must. A disposition of attack was immediately made by the three partizan corps, commanded by Captain Seshavin, Colonel Da vidoll ; and Captain Pctigncr. The result was, that the corps tinder Chan. pentier was pearly cut to pieces; that Barraguay D'Hillier -having patiently heard a cannonade for several hours in the quarters of A yge tcau's division, made good his retreat to Sinidenk ; and that A tine reatt's corps of three thousand men, after losing nearly one-third (f their number, laid down their arms Mad canitulat d to Phifnntr, who had inn 1,r)00 men, and who appears to have conducted this affair with infinite address and gallantry. lii this r ores were two squadrons of cavalry, well mein er-(1. The piisoners amounted to one General, sixty stateand other onicers. atir; two thous 'rad rank and file. The officers who capitulated sulcd the object of their march by that route was to open another communica him in the direction of Kalouga ; they were not aware of the retreat of their army. Since this affair three General Officers, upwards of twenty pieces of cannon, and tour thousand prisoners, ;lave been taken near :Inn lerisn,s, hut the particulars are not yet reported. On the 1-lt h instant, General Count Witreenstein was attacked by Marshal Victor, who had orders to chive him to the other side of the Dwitia. The enemy was repulsed, with the loss of two to three thousand men, and was pursued the next morning in his retreat tn wards Sewn), when six hundred prisoners were taken. I have tile s ur to inclose a copy of Major-General Baron Dorn ber g' s repert of his alb ir. Nothing material occurred at this post till the 18th, when Count Wittgcnsten was joined by Colnnal Chernichef, Aid-de-camp to his Imiaerial Majesty, who had been detached by Admiral Tchichagolf, with a sin ill corps of light cavalry, to discover and ascertain General Count Wittgenstein's position. In the course of this expedition, the Colonel had the singular gond fortune to rescue Major-General Baron inzingeru , h.. and his Aid-de-camp, Captain Narishkin, be tween Wilna and Minsk ; they were proceeding towards t he frontier, under an escort of gene d'armes,and had been marched from Verret ' , where they were presented to Buottaparte, with the French guards under the charge of Junot. Colonel Chernichef also took three couriers, one coming from and the other two going to Paris. From these sources of intelligence it is ascertained, that Buonaparte was at Smolensk° on the 13th instant. Admiral Tch%chakoff intended, according to his route, to arrive at Minskon the 17th instant. ' Colonel Chernichef arrived at ,the palace yesterday. accompanied by the pris o ner s he h as r e leased, and bringing with him the mter ee Pted dispatches. Those from Paris contain nothing but military PldLs and maps. :~, ~ ~• ~~ z t :t :11 at ...,~~~ P::. .1 :). , , ; .:~ ;‘. i ~,~ 1 i.t ~:.l Icc• J;C. ~ Ir. . dO 1 ' : I jul3l-.1 In ( 11( {~. ~.'i ~i I n;.. • Pi: m. li tel,= C. • TNE NATIONAL REGISTER. 791 The expcditi n of Colonel Chernichef was a continued awl extra ordimity exertion, he having inardiod seven hundred wersts in fiVC days, and swam across several rivers.

In the position, the Fier( It were rece'veri by a well-directed fire from the artillery, by which they must have hst a great number in killed and wonn,!e:l, I suppose between two and three thousand. The firing only ceased At:int seven in the evening. The French had made strong demonstraii - ns on both wings, but the centre mis chiefly en gaged.
