BULLETIN OF TlfE RUSSIAN ARMY
- Prince' Kutuzow, general, in chief of all the
arntics, communicates the following from Bo
rodino, on the 7th September. .
Sice my'last despatch, in which I had the
IvMior to acquaint your Imperial Majesty of the
attack which the enemy made on my position at
tjorcntno on tne am ap'. ne aeain oireciea a
threat force "against the left flmk, commanded, by
genfral BaRratioq., Sedag the impetuosity with
which the great strength of the enemy was direc
ted against that poini, I judgrd it necessary, in
ordr to check him, to make a movement towards
the heiflhis which Irul previously been fortified ;
he action lasted from 2 in the -afternoon until
night. The troops of your majesty this day dis
played the bravery which I have Constantly obaer
ved since I have served with them. The second
division of cuirassiers, beii.g obliged to make, a
second attack at dusk, distinguished itself excoe
;;intcy" nd generally all tlie troops fought without
ibiinp: n jni;h of grotnd, every where repulsing
ncmy tvih a Joss mnch superior to ours ; we
farsenet 60,000 itevf muskets, and 123 piecss of
cannon,- on their carriages. ' The most complete? v -anarchy
reigned in the city some drunken mad
men ran through it3 different quarters, "arid every
where set fire to them. The Governor Rpstapchiu
had caused all the merchants and shopkeepers to
be carried off, through whose intrumentality or.
der might have beeh re established. -More than
400 French and; Germans were arrested by his
orders ; in fine, he had taken the precaution of
carrying off.t he firemen with the fire-engines ; so
that the must complete anarchy has desolated this ' ;
great and fine city, and the flames are devouring
it. We have found in it considerable resources
of every kind.
