Wallmoden's army corp in 1813

Back with my hunt dor the russo-german legion (RGL).
In the beginning of the year 1813, the RGL join Wallmoden's army corp. They met at Orel (french spelling) and were first sent southward to fight persian troops (I've never heard about Russians fighting persian troops, have you?) but rapidly redirected westwards to contribute to free Prussia, the confederation of the rhine ,..., and their homeland from the french.
I'd like to know more about what they did during the 1813 campaign in Saxony till they reached Paris in 1814
Memories or letters from regiment or brigade or division commanders welcome (I must here confess again that I don't read russian at all...).
I am reading the memories of a dutch soldier who choose for the RGL instead of remaining prisoner in Russia after the Berezina crossing (where he was taken prisoner) and I'd like to know a bit more about the way the legion was used and where they served.
