neral Baron Pajol arrived at that place with
his light cavalry at the moment when Doc-
torow's advanced vanguard entered it.
General Pajol charged. The enemy was
sabred and overthrown in the town; he
lost 60 men killed and 18 prisoners. Gen.
Pajol had five men killed and some wound-
ed. This charge was made by the 9th re-
giment of Polish lancers.- Gen. Docto-
row, seeing his route intercepted, fell back
upon Olchanoni. Marshal the Prince of
Eckmuhl, with a division of infantry, the
Cuirassiers of the division of Count de Va-
lence, and the second regiment of light ca-
valry of the guard, moved upon Ochmiana,
in order to support General Pajol.—The
corps of Doctorow, thus cut off and driven
towards the South, continued to prosecute
the movement on the right by forced
marches, with the sacrifice of its baggage.

This movement had been foreseen. Gen.
Nansouty, with a division of Cuirassiers,
the division of Light Cavalry of Count
Bruyere, and Count Moraand's division of
infantry advanced to Mikailitchki, with a
view to cut off this corps.
He arrived on
the 3d at Swin, at the time when it passed
that place, and pushed it briskly. He
took a large number of waggons, and
obliged the enemy to abandon some hun-
dreds of baggage-carts.The uncertain-
ty, the anxiety, the marches, and counter-
marches which these troops had endured,
the fatigues which they had undergone,
must have made them suffer severely.-
Torrents of rain fell during thirty-six hours,
without intermission. The weather has
suddenly changed from extreme heat to
very severe cold. Several thousand of
horses have perished by the effects of this
sudden transition. Convoys of artillery
have been stopped by the mud.This
terrible storm, which has fatigued both
men and beasts, has unavoidably retarded
our march; and the corps of Doctorow,
which successively fell in with the columns

of General Borde Soult, of General Pajol,
and General Nansouty, has narrowly escap-
ed destruction.—Prince Bagration, with
the 5th corps stationed more in the rear,
marches towards the Dwina. He set out

Grodno were found materials for 100,000
rations of bread and some remains of maga-

gration would have fallen back upon the
Dwina, by drawing as near as possible to
Dunabourg; and the General of Division,
Count Grouchy, had been sent to Bogda-
now. He was on the 3d at Trabmi. Mar-
shal the Prince of Echmuhl, reinforced by
two divisions, was on the 4th at Wichnew.
If the Prince Poniatowski had vigorously
pressed the rear-guard of Bagration, that
corps would have been endangered.All
the enemy's corps are in a state of the
greatest uncertainty. The Hetman Platow
was still ignorant on the 30th of June, that
Wilna had been two days in the possession
of the French.

General Nansouty praises the conduct of General Roussel, and mentions, with commendation, Lieutenant Borke, of the Prussian hussars, the Sub-Officer Kranse, and the hussar, Lutze. His Majesty has granted the insignia of the Legion of Honour to General Roussel, and to the Officers and Sub-officers above-named.General Nansouty took 130 Russian mounted hussars and dragoons prisoners.On the 3d of July the communication was opened between Grodno and Wilna by Lida. The Hetman Platoff, with 6,000 Cossacks, when driven out of Grodno, moved towards Lida, and found there the French posts. He descended to Ivie on the 5th.- -General Count Grouchy occupied Witchnew, Traboni, and Soubotnicky.

-All these advantages have scarcely cost the French army a man. Since the opening of the campaign there have been but about thirty killed in all the corps, about 100 wounded, and ten prisoners; whilst we have already taken from 2,000 to 2,500 Russian prisoners. The Prince of Schwartzenberg passed the Bug at 'Droghitschin, pursued the enemy in different directions, and made himself master of many baggage carts. The Prince of Schwartzenberg praises the reception he has met with from the inhabitants, and the spirit of patriotism which animates these countries.- -Thus, ten days after opening the campaign, our advanced posts are upon the Dwina. Almost the whole of Lithuania, containing four millions of inhabitants, has been conquered. The operations of the war commenced at the passage of the Vistula. The projects of the Emperor were from that time plainly unfolded, and he had no time to lose in carrying them into execution. Thus, the army has been making forced marches from the period of passing that river, in order to advance by means of manoeuvres upon the Dwina, for the distance between the Vistula and the Dwina is greater than that between the Dwina and Mosiere or Petersburg. The Russians appear to be concentrating themselves upon Dunaburg: they give out that it is their intention to wait for us and to give us battle before we enter their ancient provinces, after having abandoned Poland without a contest; as if they were constrained by justice, and had wished to restore a country badly acquired, is as much

The White Eagle is hoisted every where. Priests, nobles, peasants, women, all call for the independence of their nation. The peasants are extremely jealous of the happiness of the peasants of the Grand Duchy, who are free; for, whatever may be said to the contrary, liberty is considered by the Lithuanians as the greatest blessing. The peasants express themselves with a vivacity of elocution, which would not seem to belong to the climates of the North, and all embrace with transport, the hope that the result of the struggle will be the re-establishment of their liberty. The peasants of the Grand Duchy have gained by their liberty, not that they are richer, but that the proprietors are obliged to be moderate, just, and humane; because otherwise the peasants would quit their lands in order to seek better proprietors. Thus the noble loses nothing; he is only obliged to be just, and the peasant gains much. It must be an agreeable gratification for the heart of the Emperor, to witness, in crossing the Grand Duchy, the transports of joy and gratitude which the blessing of liberty, granted to four millions of men, has excited.

the Clergy of the Diocese of Wilna.
The principles of the religion of the Li-
thuanian people are well known. They
have been well inculcated by a wise and

enlightened clergy. The Provisional Government cannot better announce to the people the benignity of the Great Napoleon, who has been led by Providence into Lithuania, nor choose a better channel to make them acquainted with the amelioration of their lot, than by confiding this great interest to the Clergy.-We therefore order the people to assemble for the purpose of returning thanks to God, who has been graciously pleased to send us this saviour of Poland, and to pray that he will further the successes of his arms.-The Clergy will afterwards endeavour to cherish proper sentiments in the people, so that, supported by their religion, they may continue with their agricultural labours.-The peasantry must not be remiss in the performance of their duty. Their safety and happiness depend thereon. They may discover in the abundant harvest before them, the evident assistance afforded by Providence to Napoleon the Great.-Let them peaceably gather in their crops, as in ordinary times. Circumstances even require an increase of zeal, and it cannot be doubted, that with the feelings by which they appear to be now actuated, but that they will be eager to shew the utmost.-Done the 7th July, 1812.

A youthful and impetuous race have arranged themselves under the Polish Eagles; it is here proper to mention the names of those zealous children of Lithuania who were the first to take arms and equip themselves at their own expense. In the guard of honour we find Prince Oginski, its chief; Count Plater, M. M. Pilgudski, Briot Bemco, Romer, Chlewiski (here follows several other Polish names).-In 'the Lithuanian Guard, commanded by Brigadier Konophill, we find M. M. Magelonki, Narbut, and Michalowisk, completely equipped. A great number of young persons are busily employed equipping themselves. We have no doubt but that the Lithuanians will seek the opportunities to distinguish themselves as the gallant fellows of the regiment, commanded by Count Knadinski, did at Som, Sierra, and Benevente.-The Bishop of Korakowski has had the honour of being twice brought to Court to say mass in the Imperial Chapel. He received a diamond ring as a present. The Priests who accompanied him had also presents.— The grand national festival was celebrated here yesterday with universal enthusiasm. -At eleven o'clock all the Clergy were assembled in the porticos of the Church, to receive the Constituted Authorities.-At noon a numerous procession, consisting of the Members of the Provisional Commission, the Deputies of the Grand Confederation, the Commission of Administration, the Members of the Tribunals, the SubPrefect, the Mayor, the Municipality, the Guard of Honour, the Officers of the Gendarmerie of the City, finally, of all the Public Functionaries, arrived at the Cathedral, where they were introduced by the Clergy.-Bishop Korakowski officiated; when Te Deum was sung, the President of the Provisional Commission delivered a very eloquent discourse, and published the Act of Confederation of Poland.
