St. Petersburgh, Jan. 16, 1813.-MY LORD, In a former dispatch I had the honour to enclose a journal of reports, received at head-quarters, to the 30th ult. with the addition of the important news of the capitulation of Memel, and convention of the Prussian part of the corps under Marshal Macdonald. The particulars of this transaction have not been published, but nothing can exceed the joy manifested by the Prussians on finding themselves at liberty to embrace the Russians, and to renew their former habits as companions in arms; of this there is the most certain evidence. The terms granted to the Prussians are extremely liberal. A detached corps, under General Mussenbach, was included, in the event that orders could reach him: these orders were in time, and, with the addition of the corps in question, the Prussian troops included in the convention, it is stated to me, amount to fifteen thousand men. Marshal Macdonald, however, availed himself successfully of stratagem, and, while treating for conference, had made progress in removing the remainder of his force in the direction of Labiau. He was closely pursued during the night from the 1st to the 2d inst. and lost six hundred prisoners; but reports being received of a French corps in force at Wehlau, it became necessary to direct the attention of the principal part of the pursuers to an attack upon that post.

The occupation of Konigsberg by the Russian army is detailed in two short bulletins, which have been published, and which I have the honour herewith to enclose. His Imperial Majesty has been occupied in forming a new distribution of his army, which is divided into several corps, which are advancing in different columns.

I learn with satisfaction, though not officially, that a very considerable corps is entrusted to Baron Wintzingerode, and that he has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-General.

The Emperor moved in the night of the 7th January from Wilna, to join the division which comprehends the guards, and the head-quarters of the whole army were at Mereez on the 10th January: it was thought they would continue there for a day or two.

The Austrians under Prince Schwartzenberg had retired from Bielestock, and were near Warsaw; but not in force to render it probable that they would contend with the superiority that might be opposed to them.

Zambrow is said to be fortified and garrisoned; but I do not conceive that any disposable force upon the Vistula can be adequate to the defence of the têtes-dupont and fortresses on that river, especially where active operations can take place upon both banks.

The Emperor remained sixteen or seventeen days at Wilna, where His Imperial Majesty issued many regulations and decrees for the restoration of order in various provinces which have suffered, and for prevention of disease from the infection of prisoners, and from the number of dead bodies and quantity of carrion still above ground. In the neighbourhood of Wilna sixteen thousand corpses are piled up in heaps, for the purpose of being consumed by fire, when sufficient wood can be procured; but numbers still remain uncollected in the roads and villages; and the mortality in the hospitals at Wilna continued to be very great.

The Emperor himself repeatedly visited all the hospitals.

Te Deum was sung in the Cathedral, in presence of the Court, on New Year's Day, in thanksgiving for the expulsion of the French from the Russian territory, on which occasion the proclamation, of which the inclosed is a translation, was read; to which I have also added, the General Order given out to the army at Wilna the 2d of January, by Prince Kutusoff Smolensko.-I have the honour, &c. (Signed) CATHCART.

P.S. I add the states, found at Wilna, of two regiments of the French guard, by which the condition of the others may be inferred. C.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armies, Marshal Prince Kutusoff Smolensko, has reported as follows to His Imperial Majesty from his head-quarters at Orano, January 9:

KONIGSBERG, the ancient capital of Prussia, is subject to your Imperial Majesty. This city was occupied on the 6th of January by Count Wittgenstein's advanced guard, under the orders of M.-General Schepeleff. Marshal Macdonald occupied the town with a corps d'armeé, composed of the old French guards, and some troops who had escaped the general destruction of the enemy's grand army.

The wreck of his particular corps, constituting part of this total, was reduced to two thousand five hundred men; after the Prussians separated from them, there remained to him in all but about seven thousand men.

At the approach of the advanced guard, which briskly pursued the enemy without halting, he passed by Konigsberg, and abandoned it to Major-General Schepeleff, who entered it without meeting any resistance,

This astonishing facility in giving up the possession of this city is a consequence of the victories with which the arms of your Imperial Majesty have been crowned during the last two months. Macdonald's corps is pursued by Wittgenstein's, and Admiral Tchichagoff's army, by diagonal routes.

Report of the Marshal Prince Kutusoff, from the Town of Merelch, dated January 10, 1813.

I HAVE the happiness to announce to your Imperial Majesty, that, previous to the occupation of Konigsberg, the General Schepeleff, commanding the advanced guard of Count Wittgenstein, continued to follow the enemy from Tilsit, and came up with him on the 23d, near Labiau; notwithstanding the favourable position which the enemy had taken, he was beaten at all points, with the loss of three cannon and three hundred soldiers. The General Schepeleff profited by his advantage to follow the enemy with vigour to the distance of thirty miles, and to enter Konigsberg along with them. Our troops entered the town two hours after midnight.

We have made thirteen hundred prisoners in the town itself, and eight thousand in the environs, who fell into our hands exhausted from fatigue.

We have found a considerable quantity of provisions and forage in Konigsberg. The inhabitants are recovering thirty pieces of cannon which the enemy have thrown into the river.

The General Count Wittgenstein renders justice to the courage and wise dispositions of General Schepeleff.

By the Grace of God, We, Alexander the First, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, &c. &c. &c.

GOD and all the world are witness with what objects, and what forces the enemy has entered our dear country. Nothing could avert his malevolent and obstinate intentions. Proudly calculating on his own forces, and on those which he had embodied against us from almost all the European powers, and hurried on by desire of conquest and thirst for blood, he hastened to penetrate even into the bosom of our great empire, to spread amongst us the horrors and all the misery of a war of devastation, and to come upon us by surprise, but for which he had long been preparing. Having foreseen, by former proofs of his unmeasured ambition and the violence of his proceedings, what bitter sufferings he was about to inflict upon us, and seeing him already pass our frontiers with a fury which nothing could arrest, we bave been compelled, though with a sorrowful and wounded heart in invoking the aid of God, to draw the sword; and to promise to our empire, that we will not return it to the scabbard so long as a single enemy remains in arms on our territory. We fixed firmly in our hearts this determination, relying on the valour of the people whom God has confided to us; and we have not been deceived. What proofs of courage, of bravery, of piety, of patience, and of fortitude, has not Russia shewn? The enemy who penetrated into her bosom with his characteristic ferocity and rage, has not been able to draw from her a single sigh by the severe wounds he has inflicted. It would seem that with the blood which flowed, her spirit of bravery increased; that the burning villages animated her patriotism, and the destruction and profanation of the temples of God strengthened her faith, and nourished in her the sentiment of implacable revenge. The army, the nobility, the gentry, the clergy, the merchants, the people, in a word, all classes, all estates of the empire, neither sparing their property nor their lives, have breathed the same spirit-a spirit of courage and of piety, a love equally ardent for their God and for their country. This unanimity, this universal zeal, have produced effects hardly credible, such as have scarcely existed in any age. Let us contemplate the enormous force collected from twenty kingdoms and nations, united under the same standard, with an ambitious and atrocious enemy, flushed with success, which entered our country; half a million of soldiers, infantry and cavalry, accompanied by fifteen hundred pieces of cannon. With forces so powerful he pierces into the heart of Russia, extends himself, and begins to spread fire and devastation. But six months have scarcely elapsed since he passed our frontiers, and what is become of him? Let us here cite the words of the Holy Psalmist

"I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay-tree.

"Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found." PSALM XXXVII. v. 35, 36. This sublime sentence is accomplished in all its force, on our arrogant and impious enemy. Where are his armies, like a mass of black clouds, which the wind has drawn together? They are dispersed as rain. A great part wetting the earth with their blood, cover the fields of the Governments of Moscow, Kalouga, Smolensko, White Russia, and Lithuania. Another part equally great has been taken in the frequent battles, with many Generals and Commanders. In fine, after numerous bloody combats, in the end whole regiments, imploring the magnanimity of their conquerors, have laid down their arms before them. The rest, composing a number equally great, pursued in their precipitate flight by our victorious troops, overtaken by cold and hunger, have strewed the road from Moscow to the frontiers of Russia with carcasses, cannons, waggons, and baggage; so that, of those numerous forces, a very inconsiderable part of the soldiers, exhausted and without arms, can with difficulty, and almost lifeless, return to their country, to serve as a terrible example to their countrymen of the dreadful sufferings which must overtake those rash men, who dare to carry their hostile designs into the bosom of powerful Russia. To-day we inform our well-beloved and faithful subjects, with a lively joy, and grateful acknowledgments towards God, that the reality has surpassed even our hopes, and that what we announced at the commencement of this war, is accomplished beyond all measure; there is no longer a single enemy on the face of our territory, or, rather, there they all remain, but in what state? Dead, wounded, and prisoners. Even their proud Chief himself, has, with the utmost difficulty, escaped, with his principal officers, leaving his army dispersed, and abandoning his cannon, of which there are more than a thousand pieces, exclusive of those buried or thrown into the water, which have been recovered, and are now in our hands: the scene of the destruction of his armies surpasses all belief. One almost imagines, that our eyes deceive us. Who has been able to effect this? Without derogating from the merited glory of the Commander-in-Chief of our armies, this distinguished General, who has rendered to his country services for ever memorable, and without detracting from the merits of other valiant and able commanders who have distinguished themselves by their zeal and ardour, nor from the general bravery of the troops, we must confess that what they have accomplished surpasses human power. Acknowledge then Divine Providence in this wonderful event. Let us prostrate ourselves before His sacred throne, and evidently seeing His hand chastising pride and impiety, instead of boasting and glorying in our victories, learn from this great and terrible example to be modest and peaceable executors of His law and His will; to resemble not those impious profanators of the temples of God, whose carcasses, without number, now serve as food for dogs and crows. God is mighty in His kindness and in His anger. Let us be guided by the justice of our actions, and the purity of our sentiments, as the only path which leads to Him. Let us proceed to the temple of His sanctity, and there, crowned with His hand, thank Him for the benefits which He has bestowed upon us; addressing to Him our ardent supplications, that He will continue to extend to us His favour, and to put an end to the war; granting us victory on victory, and the wished-for peace and tranquillity. Given at Wilna, the 6th January, in the year of our Lord 1813, and the 12th of our reign. ALEXANDER.

By the Grace of God, We, Alexander the First, &c. THE deliverance of Russia from its numerous enemies, equally savage and atrocious in intentions and actions, their destruction complete in six months, so that notwithstanding their precipitate flight, only a very small part has been able to repass our frontiers, is evidently a divine favour especially bestowed on Russia; is an event so remarkable, that no time will efface it from the annals of the world. In eternal remembrance of the unexampled zeal, of the fidelity, patriotism, and love for religion, by which the Russian nation has distinguished itself in the time of calamity, and to witness our gratitude towards Divine Providence, who has preserved Russia from the ruin which menaced her, we propose to build in our first capital a church, under the name of the Saviour Jesus Christ, of which the particulars shall be published in due time. May God bless our enterprise! May God permit it to be accomplished. May this temple exist for many ages, and may there be burnt before the holy altar of God, the incense of gratitude of the most distant ages, at the same time with the love and imitation of the actions of their ancestors.

Wilna, the 6th of January 1813.

ALEXANDER,

Order of the Day, issued by the Marshal General Kutusoff Smolensko to the Troops. BRAVE and victorious troops! you are at last upon the frontier of the empire. Each of you have been the preserver of the country: Russia has bestowed upon you this title. The rapid pursuit of the enemy, and the extraordinary difficulties that you have supported in this campaign, astonish all nations, and have acquired for you immortal glory. Such brilliant victories are without example. During two whole months your hand has daily punished the miscreants. The road that they have pursued is strewed with dead bodies. Their Chief, in his flight, sought for his personal safety alone. Death has raged in their ranks; thousands fell together and perished. Thus has the wrath of the Almighty burst over them, and thus hath He protected His people.

Not resting ourselves in the midst of our heroic actions-we must still proceed farther: we must pass our frontiers, and endeavour to accomplish the defeat of the enemy in the face of their allies. But we will not follow the example of their rage and frenzy, which disgrace the soldier. They have burnt our habitations-have violated our sanctuaries; but you have beheld in what manner the arm of the Almighty has punished their impiety! Let us be liberal, and make a distinction between the enemy and the peaceable inhabitants! Justice and clemency towards the latter will manifest most certainly, that we do not seek to enslave them, nor aspire to a vain glory; but that our object is to free from misery and destruction even those who have taken arms against Russia. The constant desire of His Majesty the Emperor is, that the tranquillity of the inhabitants be not disturbed, and that their property may remain in perfect safety. At the same time that he makes known this his sacred desire, he firmly relies that each soldier will pay the utmost attention thereto, and that not one of them will dare to forget it; and I call upon the Commanders of Corps and Divisions, in the name of His Imperial Majesty, in order that they may accordingly strictly adhere to this instruction. Wilna, January 2.

St. Petersburgh, January 29, 1818.

MY LORD, I have the honour to enclose a journal of the movements made by the several corps of His Imperial Majesty's army, from the 4th of January to the 20th of January.

Your Lordship will observe that, by the rapid advance of the corps on the right, the enemy has been driven beyond the Vistula, the Russian troops being in possession of Elbing, Marienberg, Marienwerder, and Neuenberg.

The corps from Elbing and Marienberg, being drawn from the Nogat, attempted to make a stand at the tête-du-pont at Derschag, but were soon compelled to abandon it, and retired, part upon Dantzic and the remainder upon Stargardt, still pursued by the Russians.

It appears that the troops stationed in Dantzic, advanced to the Pregel, to favour Marshal Macdonald's retreat, and that they made no resistance at Elbing, having abandoned their artillery before their arrival at that place.

The attack upon Marienwerder seems to have been nearly a surprise; and Beauharnois is said narrowly to have escaped being made prisoner.

There is no report of the surrender of Pillau.

On the 13th of January, the Emperor crossed the Niemen near Moretz, amid the acclamations of his brave troops, and has continued to march with a division of his army, in a western direction, through Berjniki, Krasnople, and Subalki, to Lique, from whence the last dispatches are dated.

Generals Millaradovitch and Dokteroff, with the troops which crossed the frontier at Grodno, moved in a line parallel to that of the Emperor on his left, and General Sachen's column is still farther to the left. There are also intermediate corps to keep up the communication between each of these columns.

The Austrians remained upon the Bug, probably with a view to create a diver sion in favour of the army retiring upon Dantzic, as long as their own line of retreat may remain open.

Graudentz has a Prusian garrison.

The Russians have uniformly been received by the inhabitants of the Prussian dominions as friends and deliverers, of which there is ample testimony in all private letters from the army, as well as in public reports.

The retreat of the French through Prussia, has, like that from Moscow, been marked by the abandonment of magazines, tumbrils, and other stores.

Berthier, Victor, Macdonald, Daru, and Beauharnois, are named among the Generals who are gone to Dantzic. The precise force in that place does not appear to be clearly ascertained; but cannot easily be estimated at more than half the number of an adequate garrison.

The intercepted courier from Buonaparte to Berthier, is said to have carried orders to complete the provisions of Dantzic for a long seige.

The service upon the Vistula appears to have been very ably performed, and I have enclosed a copy of the thanks that have been given to General Count Platoff, and the officers and troops under his command, in general orders.

The intense cold has continued, and the marches of all the columns have been long and severe. I have, &c. CATHCART.

THE Commander-in-Chief of the Armies, Field-Marshal Prince Kutusoff Smolensko, has presented to His Imperial Majesty the continuation of the journal of military operations from the 4th to the 20th of January, containing what follows: January 4.-General Wittgenstein reports, under date of the 31st ultimo, that, in the direction which he had taken towards Prussia, to act against the corps of Marshal Macdonald, he had overcome all the difficulties occasioned by cross-roads, so as to come up with the enemy already at Tilsit. His cavalry immediately surrounded the most advanced troops of Macdonald, and separated him from the Prussian troops, under the command of General D'York, by the detachment of Major-General Diebitsch, whom he at the same time directed to enter into a negociation with that General.

On the 30th of December, Lieutenant-General D'York signed a convention, by which he engaged to continue neuter with his troops, composed of thirty battalions of infantry, and six squadrons of cavalry, with thirty pieces of artillery,

Aide-de-Camp-General Golenistcheff Kutusoff, under date of the 31st, informed General Count Wittgenstein, that, in consequence of a similar agreement, the remainder of the Prussian troops had also separated themselves from Macdonald. Thus the latter has only remaining with him 5,000 men, with 20 pieces of artillery.

Aide-de-Camp-General Wassiltschikoff reports, under date of the 31st, that the Austrian troops were pursuing their retreat, in three columns, upon Warsaw, and that he, with his detachment, is at Mengenine,

General Count Platoff marches, with his troops from the Don upon Intersbourg,
