Tapolsky, w ‘ lo vas P ost ’ eti behind the centre with one of the columns of reserve, being or dered bv General Doctoroff to dep’.ov, received the enemy with so ‘Veil supported a fire o! small arms, that it forced the enemy to retreat, and without giving him time to rally advanced Q l ’ him with die bayonet, took an Kogle, and made 130 prisoners. At the same time some squadrons of French cavalry, supported by in fantry, advanced against the left of our centre, and endeavoured to penetrate through an interval in our first line, hut were received by the Cossacks and some caval ry with so much success that only eighteen men returned, the rest hying all cut to pieces. The e n< inv’iinfantry which supported thi'se squadrons was repulsed by the regiment of grenadie.rs of Moscow, under the command of Prince Charles of Mecklenbnrgh Schwerin, and the Schlussel burg regiment of Infantry, which had been detached by general F.ssen, They retreated towards the columns of the enemy which had been repu sed bv our gene ral Ziipol-sky, and joined them.— At the same moment these co- lumns, which had been joined bv two other columns of the enemy, began to renew the attack, but were repulsed by generals Sornoff and Zajfolskv, w ith two regiments ot cavalry, which were posted behind our front, and which at tacked them with the gteatest impetuosity. Count O’Kourke, with three squadrons of the regi ment of Pawlograd Hussars took tlnse retiring columns in flank, and pursued them until they got under the cannon. The St. Pe tersburg dragoons and the Wlade mir regiment of infantry on this occasion took two Eagles, and the enemy in his retreat left behind him twenty-two pieces of heavy artil’ery. The attack directed against our right wing was obstructed by Genetal Sacken’s flankers.—Ge nera! Hagavoust, who had occu- I pied the villagea of Strpallen with a deiachmcnt of the advanc- • ed guard, was attacked at break of day, and merely defended himself by his flankers. But as the attack ng columns threaten ed to turn the village, General Kochowsky hastened to his as. sistnnee with his regiment of Li thuanian Uhlans, and the regi ment of the Cuirassiers of Little Prussia ; they drove the enemy back, who retreated in the ut most confusion towards a forest. 1 he same regiments then attack, ed with the same decisive suc cess other column"; of French in fantry, wniclr supported by ca _ vahy made a movement towards oar centre, threw them into the greatest confusion, killed 300 •and took 67 prisoners, among whom are to officers —General Pahlen attacked with the brigade of cavalry of Gtneral Koiff, se veral E rendt columns which were marching against Gtneral Lai km’s division, threw them into disorder, and took one Ea gle. Ihe regiment of Hussars ot isun, and the regiment of Dragoons of Courland, also at tacketl the enemy with great success. The enemy finding themselves repulsed with con t-ideutble loss, they united their whole force, and formed in , strong columns, which moved j towards our left wing with a view of turning it. General Ba gavoust being too weak to resist a force so very superior to his found himself necessitated to u- i bandon and set fire to the village ■ Os berpaileu which he had hith. erto occupied, in order to take another position—His cavalry j posted in front,attacked the ene- | my several times, but was oblig- j eti to iall back betiind our left wing, in the mean time the c ucniy continued to receive cob sulciabic reinforcements pursu uig his plan ot turning o ur J c f t , gcn.ivamcnskpy whohad already sent some iciniorccnicats to cnc *iiagavoust, detachtnenis Ugiuzand Kosrwma to ttin ’°rCc “is felt v.icg, and ordered the village of Klein-Sangarten to be occupied by the regiment of Resan. Count Osterman finding himself opposed by a ve ry superior force, he deemed it necessary to reserve his left wing, which was soon joined by Gen. Bagavoust, against whom the above French columns, pro ceeded by a numerous artillery and flankers, and had already reached our flank. The enemy had already turned our left wing, and forced the divisions of Sar ken St Osterman, to a retrograde movement, by concentrating all his attack against this point. I now ordered my horse artillery to advance. General Kutoysoflf f< colonel lermois erected their batteries on a height, and kept up so brisk a fire on the enemy that they halted a few moments, abandoned the farm of Anklap pen, which they had occupied, in great haste, and fled in the ut most confusion. At the same time, general Tachaplitz, who commanded a detachment of horse, attacked the enemy in the village of Kutschilten, drove them out of it and almost entire i ly destroyed the enemy’s cavalry. ; During these transactions, Lieu * tenant general L’Estory arrived [ m Acid of battle with the Russian corps tinder his com mand and two Russian regiments of foot, and hastened to rein force our wing. As soon as he had formed a junction with the division of general Kamenskoy, & ihe detachment of gen. Tech* aplitz, he marched towards the enemy, whom he cannonaded with a well-directed fire from his battery. He then made a rapid movement against the left wing of the emmy, with a view of turning it, and pursued them until the fall of night, which forced him to relinquish a fur ther pursuit. The arrival of Lieutenant general L’Estocq, and the activity with which he pei formed his movements, con tributed much to secure to us the fortune of the day. While the batteries of our left wing were then keeping up a brisk cannonade against the enemy, and Lieutenant general L’Estocq pursued them ; the enemy, al though they were in possession of the village of Schwidilten,did not dare to attack, our right wing, merely composed cf the division of general Toutfchoff, on account of its being covered by the fire of a strong Prussian battery, which general Fock had established on a height. At the fall of night I ordered the enc my to be driven from the village of Schwiditten, where they sus tained a considerable loss. The Cossacks behaved with distin. guished gallantry, during the action, and took 470 prisoners. This destructive battle com menced on the 7th at three o’- clock in the afternoon, and end ed on the Bth at midnight. The loss of the enemy consists, by their own confession, in 30,000 killed and 12,000 wounded; 2, CCO Frenchmen have been made privet ers of war, and 12 Eagles tak n. Our loss amounts to If, 000 killed, and 7,900 wounded : 14 French generals were killed ot wounded : nine of our gene rals are wounded, but most of them so slightly that they have already joined the army. To bear testimony to the signal and persevering valor displayed by your Imperial Majesty’s troops, and to assure you that your ar~ my, while it has thus acquired immortal glory has given another memorable proof what a nation may achieve, which fights in de fence ot its native country and is ready to sacrifice its blood and life for the attainment of the no ble purpose ot an adored mo narch. In vain did Bonaparte lavish with tne utmost proluse uess all his vast resources ; in ; vain did he incite the courage of ) his soldiers; and in vain did he j sacrifice so great a part of his ar>- my. Ihe gallantry and perse vering valor of the Russians withstood all his efforts, wrested from him a victory long and se verely contested. j Having remained I *~ e fi ® l ‘ l °. f batt K f continu] ‘ re that night weighed then J sores winch I should further h‘3 to pursue ; and I have reason 1 eonoratukte my self on the d e J minatton f rook to march to Koi mgsberg, I was there able to sul P’> ny army with every thiii” 1 stood in need of ; after lon® ‘LI glorious exertions it found t!-J relief and repose while theFrenl army weakened & dispirited col tmued under arms. 1 hoped J this retrograde movement toindul Me hrenen army to follow me, fal twelve regiments of horse onll made tins attempt, under the cal rnaiid of marshal Murat, and v; J amiost e nirely destroy-d llH l Mansfield.
