I They are studiously scanty, it is true, for grea t misery is best described in few words, but they fully confirm all the reports Which have been in circula• tion, and fulfil, even beyond , c the letter," all our predictions as to the fate of that stupendous force . which was collected against Russia. There wag a cautious reserve in the 29th Bulletin* tespetting the futute destination of the broken and disheartened remains of the Grand Army, We bad been told in previous details, that liter wete falling back, or rather, as their friends in this country told Its, they were making a lateral movement upon their tnagarines and winter 'quarters at Grodno, Kowno, and Wilna. We foresavt, from the Russian details, however, that their armies wete pursuing a course of operations which would cut off their fugitive enemies from all Communication with these places, and we apprized our Readers (vide the STAR of January 5); that if a handful of the French army was reserved to relate their sufferings, they must make their way to wards Konigsberg, where only they could expect to enjoy, in the elegant words of their Mager, 4* a few moments repose !" At Konigsberg, accordingly, we are told in the ac. counts before us, King MURAT has arrived. Not a word of the Grand Army, of which he was Lieute nant-General—not a syllable respecting I.lE.tuttnallots, DAVOVST, NET, VICTOR, OUDINOT, MORTIER, the Im perial , -ds or the sacred Squadron ! On tile sth of these miserable frostbitten wretches were iorgonie ; on or about the 25th, one of their travelling at the rate of twelve miles a-day, onigsberg; a distance of tn•o hundred and On the 26th MURAT reviewed General 's corps, which was of course in fine con tuse it had come from Dantz:c, about 100 rear, and had never Lean in the tidd.— ying would it have been to the French to the admirers of their august Emperor of the Atlantic, to have been wit:, that belonged to the Grand Arrly. siege of Riga is raised—for the 10th ter MACDONALD, which was entrusted with Int operation, is at Tilsit, within t'le line ten. Thus the seat of war is removed from •ussia ; and theßussians may, if they please, war of retaliation upon the rervile adhe ir oppressor. \te letters from the opposite coast go still farther—the Russians are said to hare actuAlly en.l tered Warsaw ; and there is a letter in town from St. Gall, in Bavaria, which positively states the total annihilation of the 6th and 7th corps, consisting of the Bavarian and Saxon confederations. The passage in the letter alluded to is in these words—" Le: troupe: de Ravi:re et de Saxe n'existent plus. Ces corps de P armee alt ete entierensent detruits." The Polish division, under Prince PONIATOWSKY ) has escaped better than any other of the corps d'armtle which entered Russia ; for if we can believe the present - accounts, they have brought back to Warsaw thirty pieces of cannon. We put some faith in this article, both for the reasons therein specified, and for othtrs which we shall now mention. PONIATOW:PLY seems to have been always a fa vourite cavalry Officer, and the very circumstances of his men and horses being of Polish origin, emi nently qualified them for bearing the brunt of the retreat. They were, accordingly, always in advance —they came first out of Moscow—they cut their way through the Russians at Viasma, and they were seat forward with the Imperial Guards from Smo lensko, towards Wilna. That they have arrived at Warsaw, therefore, in such a condition as to excite 4g astonishment," we are inclined to believe; but is not this expression of astonishment, a most convincing proof of the tremendous catastrophe which has over taken the invading army ? Amid all these disasters, defeats, and discomfiturest their author continues to vapour about his resources! He has summoned the Legislative Body to meet him on the Ist of February. New levies are pouring into the North of Europe, and his armies in Spain are to be furnished with reinforcements capable of livening the Peninsula to the French Dynasty. Infamous charlatan ! Let the Russians and their Allies vigor ously follow up the blow which has been struck, and in six months there will not be a nation in Europe which will not be in arms against you! Where is the population--where are the resources with which you are to support the double campaign in Russia and Spain, which you threaten ? Recollect, proud boaster ! that those countries are ho longer the proper theatres for exhibiting your favourite system of fraud, plunder, and deception.

They contain the following im portant communication : " BUENOS AYRES, OCTOBER 16. 4 ' By a dispatch whisth has just arrived from the army of Peru, we have received the grateful intelli gence contained in the following official letter, which we hasten to publish for the gratification orthe American people : " EXCELLENT SlR—The country may glow in the complete victory which her arms obtained on the 24th instant, the day of our Nuestra Senora de Mer cedes, under whose protection we took seven cannon, three flags, and one standard, 50 officers, four chap lains, two curates, and 600 prisoners-4.00 were kill ed.—The cannon and muskets, ammunition, all the baggage, and even the greater part of the enemy's equipage are the results of this victory. 44 From the meanest individual in the army, to those of the highest rank, all behaved and conducted themselves with the greatest honour and valour. I have ordered the enemy, who, with the remains of his army precipitately fled, to be pursued. I will give your Excellency a more detailed account when circumstances will permit me.—Gon preserve your Excellency many years 1" " BUENOS AYRES, SFPTPVIBER (PRIVATE LETTER.) 44 Unfortunately discord between the Europeans and Americans is beginning in Chili, and several of the former have been imprisoned at St. Jago, on the charge of real or supposed conspiracy. The Viceroy of Lima has issued Letters of Marque against vessels of the United States, on the coast of Chili, and four have been taken. We do not yet know if this measure extends to British vessels, which, however, is very likely, as the trade to the coast of the Pacific has never been opened to foreigners by any legal autho rity, and under this uncertainty it would be running a great risk to send British ships there. Goyeneche's troops, to the number of 2400 men, entered Jugin and Salta on the 24th ult. and are ad vancing en Tucuman. We know not the extent of the force with which he comes, and as 3000 men are hourly expected from Europe, affairs are drawing fast toa general result, whichwillprobably re-establish the tranquillity of the country, and open a communica tion with the interior provinces."

[Here follows a very long account of the mode to be adopted for the organization of the irriere Bum, to which the Proclama tion bas reference.] [The Moniteur of the 6th contains two Reports from the Duke of Albufera to the Minister at War. They are both dated St. Felipe, December 7. The first gives an account of an attempt made by Villamil to surprise the fort of St. Felipe, near Balagner, by a Furs de perm It appears, that on the 11th of No vember Villamil, with 1000 men, dressed in the uni form of the sth regiment of Italian infantry, taken at Figneras, presented themselves before the fort, and answered in French to the cry of qui vine; but, being soon discovered, they were received with a discharge of grape-shot, which obliged them to retire. On the 15th and 16th Villamil, assisted by SOO or 400 men, from an English 80-gun ship, which was at anchor in front, made another attempt upon the fort, but with no better success. The loss on both sides was inconsiderable.—The second Report details some un important skirmishes near Alcoy, Yecla, Segorbe, and Besis.] THE EVENING STAR. are in the habit of calling for favourite ae forward, out. of 'the routine of their theatr—lMsi ness :—we sincerely believe that the cry of 0 Mana ger!

It was of so serious a nature, that the LORD CHANCELLOR was sent for, and called out of bed to attend his Royal Highness to Windsor, where they arrived before nine in the morning. The general supposition is, that his MAJESTY had another paroxysm, but he soon happily recovered, and has not sufft•red materially by the at tack. The paragraph in all the papers of yesterday, stating his progress of recovery, was sent from Windsor on Sunday. The PutNce Rxover returned to town on Monday evening from Windsor, to dine at CArlton House. The Duke of Sussex is recovering list from the severe attack, which was near proving fatal on Thursday night. Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which sat till about half-past four.

It has been aseertained that the suffrages of every state east of the Delaware, except Vermont, have been unani mous for the Peace candidate as President of the Utdted States. By recent advices from Vermont re ceived at Boston, it would appear, that in ten towns of that state there was a net peace gain of 341 votes.
