and wrested from him a victory which lonp was doubtful. As I remained master of the field of battle, I continued there during the night, in the course of which I considered what was necessary to be done; and 1 feel happy in having adopted the determination of marching to Koningsberg. There I cuuld procure abundant supplies, of every kind, necessary for the army; there, after a continued and glorious exertion, the army found that repose which was so necessary to it; while the French army, weakened and discouraged, remained under aims. I was in hopes, by thus falling back; to Coach Factory Store induce the French army to follow me ; but only twelve regiments of cavalry, under the command of Marshal Murat, attempted this, and were almost annihilated, neat MansfclJt. After this fresh loss, the enemy commenced his retreat."
Several sanguinary skirmishes have lately taken plate between a body of Cossacks under the command of the Hettman, Lieut. Gen. Platow, and the French, near Guttstadt.—The manner in which the Russians asted is worthy of notice, from its singularity. A party of Cossack cavalry, under the immediate command of the Hettman, being attacked by the enemy's infantry, he made his men dismount, and perform a rapid fire in return, while ano»her regiment of Cossacks was ordered to attack on horseback. Here a scene ensued, which c€»uli! not fail powerfully to raise the enthusiasm of every person. The Cossack: blessed themselves with a loud voice, " Hofpodi po miUi.'" (God kave mercy upon me!) and made the sign of the Cross upon their breasts, according to the custom of the Greek Church. The close of this solemn religious ceremony was the
signal signal for the attack. In a moment the Itgiment set off full speed, expanding like swarm of bees, exclaiming Hurrah!and took up directly the whole troop of Frenchmen opposed to them, each Cossack seizing his man by Coach Online Outlet the collar. After this successful manœuvre, the Enemy advanced from the wood with the whole of their force, and with lorn;; cannon. But, as their intention was not to fight, but merely to watch the movements of the enemy, the Hettman ordered his men to desist, took up a position between Gronau and Altkirch, and waited till the evening. He fixed his head-quarters at Gronau, distributed the other Pulks in the adjacent villages, and selected 30 men, whom he charged to alarm th« enemy at Altkirch the whole niiht. This was performed with such effect, that the enemy were obliged, during the night, to fend for Coach Factory Outlet several considerable reinforcements from Outtstadt. Every Cossack is ready to sacrifice his own life for the Hettman, being attached to him from principles of religion as well as affection : they all hum With desire to

Count Ostermann ; and the whole of the van'by Prince Eajrathion. The Coach Factory Store whole of the cavalry, under the command of Lieix.-gen. Prince Gallitzin, covered hoth wings, though a part thereof was within the line. The heights, situated before my front, were occupied by our batteries. Gen. Barckley de Tolley, and the Horse Artillery of Col. Jermaloff, .which had coveted the retreat of the tear, were siill in Prussian Eyluu ; but the enemy soon advanced upon the town Coach Factory Outlet in such force, that Gen. Barckley, notwithstanding he performed miracles of bravery, was obliged to cede to superior numbers, and to retreat. As soon as I (perceived this, 1sent the 4 th division to 'support 'him. It marched in three columns, overthrew all that opposed it, and retook the town by assault. The enemy .suffered a very considerable loss in this attack, notwithstanding they had planted "some cannon in the streets, and were firing 'upon us on all fides from the windows. Gen Barckley received a'severe wound in the arm on this occasion." On Feb. 8th, the action was renewed, and became general. We cannot follow the Commander in Chief through his detailed account of the respective operations ; but they prove that the attempts of The French cavalry to break the different Ruffian columns weie uniformly defeated. The Peterlburg dragoons and Wladirnir infantry, not only .repelled a charge of this kind, but took two eagles apd 20 pieces of cannon from the retreating enemy. Gen. Bagavoust's division, which had possession of the village at Serpallen, was the only one which, rfrom the superiority of the enemy'* num
bers, was obliged to Coach Online Outlet give way, and take a different position.—Gen. Bennigsen adds, that the arrival of the Prussian General Lestocq contributed much to ensure the victory ; and he concludes with the following observations : " This sanguinary battle, which was begun on the 7th Feb. at three in the afternoon, ended on the following day at midnight. The enemy's loss, by their own confession, amounts to 30,000 men killed, and 12,000 wounded: 2000 f rench are taken, and 12 eagles are in our possession. Our loss consists of 12,000 killed, and 7Q00 wounded. Fourteen French Generals are either killed or wounded ; we have nine General Officers •wounded, but molt of them so slightly, that they have already rejoined the army. " In vain (he adds) did Buonaparte lavish his vast resources ; in vain did he endeavour to excite the courage of his soldiers, and sacrifice so great a part of his army.

The action began between this General and several numerous columns of the enemy, who were chare:M by two Ruffian regiments with fixed bayonets, and almost annihilated. A severe engagement sallowed with the cavalry of the contending forces, which terminated in favour of the Ruffians. "The enemy (fays General Bennigl'en), though Vat off at every point, continued to receive reinforcements from all fides, and Threatened to cut off our most advanced troops. I therefore ordered the latter to retreat; and consequently they, tts welt as the 8th division, retreated immediately through Prussian Kylau (as did afterwards the whole of our rear), and joined the main body, which stood .drawn up in the following manner; The 5th, ;th, 8th, 3d, and id divisions formed two corps, The second of which was disposed in a .single column-; the 4th and
