In effect retire ; and in a moment the Grand Saloon of the 1i0t..1 de Ville was evacuated. I returned to ; fl y own house ; the horses were in readiness. I caused it to be said, that instead of getting into my carriage in the yard, I would get in at the foot of the staircase of the Hotel de Ville. My carriage was accordingly ordered thither. There finding that the troop remained in the same place, and a n umber of people assembled, I caused the Comman der of the Cohort to be called, and ordered him to draw off his people; then elevating my voice to be heard by the people who surrounded the troop, announced to them, that the alarm which had been given them was without foundation ; and that the ne ws disseminated was totally false ; and desired them to return to their usual avocations. I then en tered the carriage, and repaired to his Serene Highness the Prince Arch Chancellor, to inform him of what .d passed, and to receive his orders. Isis 11ighness directed me to convoke the Mayors of Paris, and the Members of the Municipal Council, in order to have every thing in readiness to receive and execute whatever orders might be transmitted, after the Council of the Ministers which was then going to assemble, had been held. Ihe Municipal Corps was accordingly assembled at two o'clock in the afternoon. No order s having been addressed to me, they retired between three and four o'clock. (Signed) FROCIIOT. (A true Copy) The Minister of General Police, pads, October 28, 1812. The DUKE DE Roviuo. The following Note appears its the Moniteur of the 26th December, upon a paragraph which ap peared in the STAR, stating that Caffarelli, with his corps, had taken the route from . Spain to France : NOTE.—Not only will no troops be withdrawn from Spain, but 20,000 men, 6000 horses, and 600 waggons, which remain on the 11th and 20th nuh tary divisions, have just received orders to reinforce the Armies of Portugal, the Centre and South of Spain. A convoy of 10,000,000 has just been sent to pay the arrears. If you believe the events which have taken pLice 2,500 miles from you, such as they are given in the Petersburgh Gazettes, you are great dupes." And L 6 ain, upon another paragraph, stating, that the French, by their cruelties, had inspired the Rus sians with hatred You should at least be consistent. The Peters burgh Gazette says it was the French who set fire to Moscow, and to the thousand villages which were found upon their route, and then it has reason to tax the Freach with cruelties and barbarities; but this is not the language you hold in thi, Message, Lord Liverpool: you say it was the Russians themselves who set fire to Moscow, and the villages upon the route; what greater crudty did there remain for the French to commit ? Did not the sacred edifices con stitute a part of the cities and vill.iges which you say the Russians have burnt ? The injury which Russia has done herself may be estimated at three milliards, and England gives her five millions." The Moniteur of the `2Btb mentions that the Em. percr and Empress were at the Opera the preceding evening : the house was full. Their Majesties were received with the most lively acclamatioias. BERLIN, DECEMBER 111. The King is a little indisposed : we hope his Ma jesty's health Will soon be re-established. Our auxi liary corps is still at M;ttau and its neighbourhood. Liz. l'i.—Many troops have lately passed through this city. A great number of horses have been bought for the army—the venders are paid in ready money. Ten thousand French will pass through Stettin to join the Grand Army. Osi the 3d inst. the Prussian gees-d'armes brought here a prisoner of State coming from Silesia; it is supposed he will be detained in a fortress. BAYONNE, DEC. 26. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. whi Intelligence from Spain announces, that division makes great progress among the Spaniards who have hitherto shewn themselves attached to the insurrec tional Junta. DRESDEN, DECEMBER 14. _ - The Emperor, on his arrival here at the house of his Minister, Baron de Serra, went into a bath, sup ped, and took some moments of repose. The Em peror afterwards received a visit from the King of Saxony, who, being indisposed, was carried in a Chair. This Prince had a tete-a tete conversation of an hour with the Emperor. The small number of per.; sons who had the honour of seeing his Imperial Ma- jesty, speak with enthusiasm of . the serenity and goodness with which hi s M a j est y saluted all those whom he met on his passage, as well as of his healthy ' appearance, notwithstanding the fatigues of so long a journey, in , -..0 boisterous a season, and made with' inconceivable rapidity. The greater part. ol' the Ministers who are here, have sent Estafettes to their Courts, to hiform thee of the passage of the Emperor. -Shortly atter the departure of his Majesty; the Doke of Dantaic arrived here. et THE STATE LOTTERY be Drawn in '1 WO DAYS, viz. 14th of THIS MONTH (JANUARY), and folloui r.g Day.

French, after wandering about on the banks of the Beresina for several days, at last found a convenient place for crossing it, and were even able afterwards to destroy the bridge: but WITTGENSTEIN, PLATOFP, and TCHICHAOOPP, with their united forces, were busily occupied in constructing new bridges on that very day (the 29th) ; and we have no doubt that on the 30th November and Ist December the whole Russian armies crossed, in full pursuit. From the 29th of November, when BONAPARTE crossed the. Beresina, to the 3d of D ece mber, when he arrived at Molodetschenow, he must have had three days of hard scampering for his lif e , surroun d e d b y hi s sacred ii squadron. The distance between the Beresina and the place just named cannot be much less than eighty miles. At an average, his flight from Moscow to the Beresina was not effected with greater celerity than eight or ten miles per diem but in each of the last three days, he must have gone over at least 25 miles of ground ! The remains of the Imperial Guards, therefore, and the sacred squadron of moun ted Officers, were all that reached Smorgonie. The Russian details will give us an account of the rest ; for twenty-five days have elapsed since the French were left at Smorgonie, and no further accounts of Ithem have reached Paris. In a Note subjoined to an extract from the STAR, given in the Moniteur of the 26th December, and in which we noticed the retreat of CAFFARELLI from Spain as the best proof of the disasters of the French in Russia, the world is boldly informed that, instead of this being the fact, the French armies in Spain have been lately reinforced with 20,000 men, 6000 .horses, 600 waggons, and 10 millions of Francs to pay their arrears !—The veriest blockhead who wears a French uniform will not believe this. We cannot dismiss the French Papers without ex pressing our abhorrence and indignation at one of the articles which they contain. A letter from Dres den informs us, that when the base-born usurper passed through that city, the King of SAXONY was indisposed. BONAPARTE did not, however, conde scend to visit him, but compelled the miserable and degraded monarch to be brought to him in a chair, when he indulged him with the honour of autete-a-tote for an hour There was a time when the very stones of Dres den would have mutinied against a Sovereign so lost to all sense of dignity and manhood ! Can we won der at the degradation of Europe while such imbeci lity is tolerated in its Princes ? Saturday, the Members of the QUEEN'S Council held a consultation with the KING'S Physicians at Windsor, and afterwards repaired to the Castle, and laid the result before her MAJESTY. Yesterday the follewing Bulletin was shewn at St. James's Palace : gg WINDSOR CASTLE, JAN. 2.—His MAJESTY has passed the last month in a state of tranquillity." Yestetday Lord ARDEN' and General CAMPBELL attended at St. James's Palace as the Lord and Groom in Waiting. Yesterday the LORD CHANCELLOR had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house. Ministers have caused it to be intimated to the Court of Directors of the East India Company, that it is the intention of Government to accede to the wishes of the public, by opening the trade of Hindos tan, to seven of the principal ports of. the United Kingdom, namely, London, Bristol, Hull, Glasgow, Dublin, and Cork.— The China trade will be still con fined to the Company. Captain DACRES, late of the GUERRIERE frigate, arrived in town yesterday, and attended at the Ad miralty. From the acccunts broug ht by the VENERABLE, Sir HONIE PC:PHAN!, which left the North Coast of Spain on the `2lst ultimo, we may won expect to bear of the surrender of Santona, as the garrison, amounting to 1200 men, were in the greatest want of provisions. They have had, for some months past, only a daily allowance of four ounces of pork, and 11 lb. of very bad bread ; with a glass of wine twice a week to each man. The German, who compose half their number, had become extremely dissatisfied, and were expected to revolt. There were 33 horses in the garrison, three of which were killed on the 20th ult, for subsistence ! The enemy have had, for some time past, a frigate, a corvette, three schooners, and several chasse marees, at Bay onne, laden with provisions for the relief of the place. When Sir HOME commenced his operations, it was with considerable difficulty a boat could land on any part. of the coast ; but, in the end, the enemy were driven from every post except Guiteria and Santona, which places are so very strong by nature, they would dcly the efforts of an army. The operations of Sir HOME likewise prevented General CAFFARELLI from joining MARMONT before the battle of Sala manca, as appeared by an intercepted letter of his to MARMONT, which fell into the Marquis of WEL LINGTON'S hands ; in which CAFFARELLI said, he was not only prevented joining him, but had been com pelled to recal some troops which had been sent for that purpose. When the VENERABLE left the coast, none of the French troops had left Spain on their re turn to France ; but it was rumoured all the armies were to retire behind the Ebro. General CAFFA BELLI was in Gallicia with about 8000 men ; and had given out, that as soon as he could increase his force 2000 more, he would retake all thO ports on 'the coast, and garrison them. • NAVAL INTELLIGEhrCL REPORTED CAPTURE OF AN AMERICAN FRIGATE. Our letters from Plymouth of this morning contain I a report of the capture of the American frigate United State:, to which the MACEDONIAN surrendered. The ACASTA frigate, Captain KERR, the largest we believe in our service, and now on the American station, is said to have redeemed the honour of the British flag on this occasion. The report states the American frigate to have been intercepted going into the Chesapeake. with the MACEDONIAN in tow.— Another account states, that it was a drawn battle between the United States and the ACASTA, and that both were so disabled as to separate by mutual con sent. The latter version of the story is improbable f' the former we shall be happy to confirm. FALMOUTH, JANUARY 1. Arrived yesterday the Darlington packet, from the Windward Islands, last from St. Thomas's, in 30 days. Arrived to-day the Queen Charlotte packet, i from Surinam, in 37 days.

The remainder, with the 2J battalion, com manded by Maior MALCOLM, are hourly expected. They were embarking on board theDIADEII, Captain. PHILLIMORE, and LATONA, Hon. Captain RODNEY.

The Queen Charlotte packet is arrived at Falmouth from Surinam, Demarara, &c. she spoke in the Chan nel the Lady Sherbrook, Abcona, and Susan, from Halifax, having parted convoy, the latter dis Tasted. There has been an American privateer on the coast of Demarara, which has captured several vessels, in consequence of which the Queen Charlotte packet whilst at Demarara was manned with 70 volunteers, besides her own crew, and , sent to cruize for six vessels of the Cork fleet, which had parted from the convoy : she fortunately fell in with and succeeded i* getting them safely into port. The names of the six vessels were, the Thomas, Pilot, Flora, Trelawneb and Fame.

She in. I tended to go into Lisbon to repair her damages. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.A letter from Milford, dated December 31, says, 4. We are sorry to have the painful duty of relating a most melancholy accident which has taken place in consequence of the extinction of the Light on the Smalls. On the 17th inst. the brig Fortitude, of London, JOHN OWENS, Master, sailed from thence with a valuable cargo, bound to Liverpool. At eight o'clock in the morning of the 29th, she sailed from Scilly, where she had been for some days wind-bound, and about two o'clock the following morning struck upon the Smalls, amidst total darkness and blowing hard. They were unable to see any thing but the breaking of the sea upon the rocks, which displayed the horrors of their situation. Finding the.vessel sinking, the longboat was got out, into which the Master and nine of the crew went; in the mean time, six others took to the jelly-boat, which hung ove r t h e stern, and, just as the vessel sunk, succeeded in get ting clear of her. At this time, it appears, that the vessel fell over, before the long-boat could get at a sufficient distance, and by the screams and cries of those on board her, which were heard by the others in the dark, there is no doubt but they all perished. Fortunately the six men who were in the jolly-boat succeeded in getting from the vessel before she sunk, and after struggling with the sea till eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon, they were picked up by the Dili. Bence Customs cutter, on board of which they were taken, some of them nearly naked, as they were awoke in their beds when the ship struck, without having time to put on their clothes. Captain Dossnr, however, soon relieved their wants, with that kind ness and humanity which so eminently distinguishes his character. In the afternoon he landed them at Milford, where he has provided for their necessities, and set on foot a subscription, more effectually to , contribute to the relief of those distressed seamen. " Names of those who perished—John Owen,Master ; Homo phry Lewis, Mate; John Shuttkswortis, Hugh Williams, Solo. mon Jones, William Davies, Richard Thomas, Lewis Jones, Michael M 'C an, and a seaman invalid. going to Liverpool. " Names of those picked up by theDiligence.—SamuelLovejoy e Richard Hess, William Williams, Owen Pritchard, Michael Hughes. and Thomas Taylor." HUDDERSFIELD, DEC. 21.—A most diabolical and daring circumstance transpired here last Monday. evening.—As Mr. Joseph Mellor, of Dungeon, near this town, cloth-dresser, was passing through his Own yard, a pistol was fired at him, the contents of which passed him, and lodged in the wall. Mellor is one of the persons subptti , c3 to appear at York in the case of the late Mr. Horsfall's murder. CORN-MARKET, MARK-LANE, JAN. 4.
