It Was contained in Paris Papers to the I2th instant, w hich have been received in town. This extraordi ”2ty document (and it is the most singular production of the kind we have ever seen) is dated on the 9 0th October, from Nikosko, an insignificant village about '3O miles from Moscow, on the roads to Kalouga, T u l a ., and Kalomna, whither BONAPARTE is now evidently directing his flight— retreat we cannot call it, after the perusal of his own Bulletin. Dy moving in this direction he thinks he will command the resources of the fertile province of Riazan, in which the above places are situated ; and he will thus make a detour, which will, for a time, perhaps, keep his army out of the line of toad by which he entered Moscow, and by which all p ossibility of retreat is cut off by the various Russian I aimies, now become more formidable and more nu- merons than ever. Towards Smolensk he durst not venture :—fresh whirlwinds of Cossack cavalry, in which he has been so often enveloped, are waiting for there, under their invincible Hetman PLA IN/P. His army may therefore be now considered tull drive to its destruction. Kalouga, Tula, oge.Esdomna, have no doubt shared the fate of Noscow ; and unless the incorrigible Ruffian who governs France, for the first time in his life, spares the effusion of the blood of his subjects, by suppli cating mercy from the Russians, not a man of his once numerous train will ever revisit his native coun rrf. the miscreabt himself, attended by a small eiiort, may escape - Into France.-but even here the gbabllities are against him. The Cossacks are , swarming in every direction between him and Poland; and we have every reason to believe, that thew re- 1 cent activity has been greatly increased by the pro- 1 **Lion of PLAT ler, offering a reward for the cap. t`of the Corsican's person. OKRTUSOFF'S victory over MURAT is obscurely allu ded to in this Bulletin—it is described as a mere affair , of the Cossack. , but it is admitted that 100 baggage waggons of SEBASTIANI'S artillery tell into their hands. We cannot sufficiently applaud the dexterity with whisk the Bulletin writer-brings himself off from this aft* The Cossacks were in the camp, it would irp p....;llll4re.the. French could mount their horses, but I ctkinirciii4antrl which was sent to support them Was twin pieced. They did not recover their bag gage.waggons, however, and as for the 38 pieces of cannon, taken by KUTUSOI7, no mention whatever is made of them. There are a few admissions in this Bulletin which fill ns with satisfaction : " Moscow is nor a military position and possesses no longer any political impor tanee."...4 The enemy slew many Cossacks, who an noy our cavalry."" We must now think of winter quarters, our cavalry particularly require it." Where these winter quarters are to be found we know not—and the Bulletin writer is equally in the dark. The Editor of The Journal de P Empire, however, helps him out of his dilemma : he tells us, in a la boured comment on the retreat oithe French army, that " our friends, our brothers, our sons, assembled round the flags of their country, are going to enjoy some moments of repose"—thai they are then to march, at the first moment of the favourable season, wherever victory calls them." Here we have a threat of another visit to Moscow in spring. But we may • fairly presume, from what we now know of the Rus sians, that the repose to be thus enjoyed. will be pre. lite', that which a man can enjoy after being run through the body by the bayonet. Every day may now be expected to bring us details of fresh disasters to the French army. They talk of fighting battles for their winter quarters—we firmly believe that their army is not in a condition to stand each another affair as that of Mojaisk ; and besides, the Russians are now numerically stronger in every direction. In short, we bargain for nothing less than a total annihilation of the invading army, and that before Christmas. Just as this Paper was going to Press, the arrival of the Adventure packet from New-York, with a Messenger and dispatches, was announced at the Post-Office. The letters and Newspapers are not expected sooner than to-morrow. A Gottenburgh Mail arrived last night. 'The in• telligence brought by it from the Russian armies is , Rot so recent as that which has been already received. The account of the operations of the brave Wnactr -4220DE previous TO his re-occupation of Moscow, will be read, however, with much pleasure. Saturday afternoon Captain DESBOROUGH arrived in Town, in twelve days from Lisbon, which. gave rise to a report that dispatches had been received horn the Marquis of Wrazugaros; - but the dispatches brought by Captain DESBOROUGH were from Mr. STUART at Lisbon. No intelligence had been re trived at Lisbon from the Army for a week before kis departure. ittvolOrrogilitY stAftbAkb ERE CfiEb IN FRANCE. We have more than once had occasion to inform the public that the late revolutionary movements in France were believed not to be confined to the Capital, but probably embraced widely extended ramifications, which were only suspended from co operation by the unfortunate issue of the central ex plosion.—We have now to state a most important fact, received "this morning from an intelligent Cor respondent at Plymouth, on whose communications ,we have generally found that the utmost reliasce may be placed:— On Thursday se'nnight (the sth instant) a French 'General (some assert one of the Ex-Royal Family) sailed from Plymouth Sound in the ARMIDE frigate —a circumstance which at the time excited much conjecture as to his destination. It is now, we are informed, ascertained that the ARMIDE proceeded to Quiberoon Bay, where she landed the General, who, being joined by some loyalists of distinction who waited his arrival, instantly hoisted the standard of the Bourbons. The effect is said to have been elec. tric—the neighbouring country is reported to have risen as if by one instantaneous impulse, and when the ac counts came away a strong force had been regularly organised, and means were taking to spread the pa triotic flame. On an event so important at this momentous crisis' we regret that we have it not in our power to speak with absolute confidence, though we have every rea son to believe that the intelligence which we now communicate, will soon be confirmed. Our hesita tion in vouching for its absolute accuracy, arises only from the circumstance of the channel by which the intelligence reached Plymouth, being still un known to as.—A day or two at farthest will ascer tain this point. This day arrived Mails from Malta and Gibraltar, by which we have received a ♦ariety of important :ations. Our Gibraltar letters, which are dated the 3d inst, announce a fact, which we have great pleasure in communicating, that the troops at Alicant have at last been put in motion [may we hope still in time to be of serv , ce ?] On boutr's marching to Alba cete, Major-General CLINTON, who has now*the com mand, marched to Alcoe, which will prevent the return of the former upon Valencia, should he meet with any reverse. All accounts agree in stating, that the yellow fever is committing great ravages in Souwes army: War are we free from all apprehension for thebealtir of e brave countrymen in the Peninsula,. law*. case ' • •••___ ••••••44fteut•-- • vc 0 2'U We are great l y n concerned to inform our Kcaders, that our letters mention the death of General ANDREW Ross, Aid-de-Camp to the King, who died at Car thagena, universally lamented. The KENT man of war came to anchor at Gibraltar on the Sd instant. We are sorry to learn that the Plague was raging with great violence at Constantinople when the latest accounts left that city. The deaths were upwards of a thousand daily. Saturday arrived at Portsmouth the SaLcrrra fri gate, Captain HOPE, from the Archipelago, bringing home Sir Wu. OUSELEY, brother of his Excellency Sir GORE OUSELEY, Bart. Ambassador at the Court of Persia, with dispatches of considerable importance with which he has since arrived in Town, from the Persian Court. Sir WILLIAM OUSELEY em barked on board the SALCETTE at Smyrna. He lan ded with his dispatches on Saturday afternoon, and proceeded to London. The SALCETTE has brought several fine horses aid packages of valuable presents from the King of PERSIA to the PRINCE REGENT, 'Friday she captured off the Isle of Wight the French privateer Mercure, which arrived with her. The principal intelligence brought by the SALCETTE is as follows She left Smyrna on the 27th September, at which time the plague had ceased. She touched, on the 10th October, at Mahon, aad found there the OCEAN, TREMENDOUS, REPULSE, ARMADA, GORGON, UNDAUNTED, and some small vessels refitting. The POMPEZ joined the fleet on the same day from Eng_ land, having received some damage in her masts, and had one man killed and several wounded, by lightning, the day before. The SULTAN had also been struck by lightning, which disabled her main-mast : she had gone to Malta for a new one. The enemy's fleet was in state quo. On the 22d, she anchored at Alicant, and left there the MALTA, (Admiral Hot.- LOWELL )) FAME, and BRISTOL. The expedition from Sicily was still at Alicant, under General MACICEN` TM The enemy had retired from before that for tress. On the 2d of November she left Gibraltar' where the INVINCIBLE and STATELY were refitting, The CLEOPATRA was cruising M the Gar, and the RossuLus on the point of sailing for Lisbon and Eng land. On the 6th she exchanged numbers with the CASTOR, about 120 miles S.W. of Cape Fnisterre.— Major-General CLINTON has succeeded General MAST.. LAND in the command of the army before Alicant it consists of 13,000 men, and the Spaniards under Colonel ROCHA atul Baron d'Eaotam amount to 6000 mem". wit Akat A gentleman who came passenger in the packet from Lisbon reports, that on his journey from Burgos to Corunna he met three regiments' f British troops marching to join the amp. The 20th and 61st regiments, with detachments from other corps, had arrived at Corunna from Cork. They were disembarked, but owing to the Marquis of WELLINGTON'S orders, they re-embarked and sailed, for Lisbon. Last week the 41st Regiment of Foot marched from Chichesterßarracks, in two divibions for Brighton. ' The 2(1 Battalion of the 63d Regiment has left the Barracks at Brighton for Blatchington, and the de tachment of the 360 Regiment for Lewes. The 2d Battalion of the 36th and 45th Regiments, have marched from Blatchington to Lewet., Barracks. Thursday marched into Carlisle, to be stationed there, the 74th Re g i ment o f F oot , from Winchester Barracks. The Oxford Militia will arrive in Portsmouth gar rison on the 18th and 19th instant. The Berkshire Regiment of Militia have orders to proceed to Bideford, in Devonshire, instead of to Plymouth Dock, as was at first ordered. Colonel KINGSCOCK'S Regiment of North Gloucester Militia has marched from Sandhurst, and is quar tered at Bristol, with the exception of a detachment of 100 men, which has been left to assist on the works at the Royal Military College. The Detachments of the Royal Staff Corps, corn ' mantled by Captain LAUZEEN t and of the Royal Wag gen Train, commanded by Lieutenant &ATLI', con tinue at Sandhurst. It is stated that, on the recommendation of the Marquis of WELLINGTON, a veteran battalion for gar • rison duty is to be formed of the men of regiments in the Peninsula, who are not capable of active service in the field, and that the Commandant of it will most probably be of his Lordship's recommendation. Saturday, about four o'clock, the Princess CHAR LOTTE of WALES arrived at Kensington Palace, from Windsor, to dine with her Royal Mother, the Prin cess of WALES. Her Royal Highness returned to Windsor irt the evening. She was attended by Lady DE CLIFFORD. The PRINCE REGENT and suite passed through Norwich en Friday, from Lord CHOLMONDEI,EY'S, in his way to SaNmundham, the seat of Mr. LONG. ' Louis XVIII. is on a visit to the Marquis of STAE• FORD, at Trentham Hall, Staffordshire. Miss WELLEbLEV, the youngest daughter of the lifarqnis WELLESLEY, is to be married to Mr. LITTLE TON, the Mersiber for Staffordshire. The nuptials are to take place in a few days. The sum to be expended for the reduction of the National Debt in the ensuing Quarter is £3,813,994. 17s. 1 lid. Saturday dispatches, dated the Bth ult. were re ceived at the Admiralty, from Sir EDWARD PELLEW ; the fleet under his orders was cruizing off Toulon. General TARLETON, it is said, means to petition against the return of, General Gascounax and Mr. CANNING, on the ground of treating. COUNTY oFTIPPEItAtt Y.—State of the Poll, Nov. 9: 'General Mathew - 3958 I Mr. Bagwell - 2821 1-Mr. Pritik -t . 3331 1 The Right Hon. D. B. DALY, and J. DALY, Esqrs. were returned. by large majorities, on Tuesday last, for the County of Galway. • .Sir E. MAY, Bart. has been elected for Belfast. Another election duel has taken place at Tippe rary. The patties were Mr. LinweLL, attorney, and brother of Mr. T. Linwrt.L, of Clonmore, and Mr. TINsLEY, of Limerick, who came to support Mr: BAG WELL. They met near Two-mile.hiidge, on the Wa terford bank of the Suir, when, after aft exchange of shots, Mr. TINsLEY apologized. - - Letters from Calcutta say, that the Portuguese are renewing their applications at the Chinese Court, in the name of the Prince of the Brazils, for permission to send an embassy to the Emperor at Pekin ; requesting also permission for a Catholic Bishop and priest to re side at the capital. A letter from Madras states, that the following me lancholy spectacle was lately witnessed there:—." A young Gentoo widow, about 21 years of ale, came to the Commanding Officer, asking permission to burn herself with her deceased husband ; he used every ar , gument to dissuade her from it, but in vain ; her fa mily, and even her own mother, abused her for hesi tating, by going to the Commanding Officer. hey were very poor, and did not provide sufficient wood and oil : horrid to relate, the poor creature was heard repeatedly to cry out, " more fire! more fire!" and shriek with agony, until the noise of the instruments droWned her cries." The premises in Park-lane, Leeds, in the posses sion of Messrs. LEPTON and GeotrGE Donson, are at this time fitting up as Barracks for the reception of the military, and are calculated to accommodate 1400 infantry. A letter from Palermo, dated September 28, says, “ The King, understanding that the orders lately issued against the furtive exportation of grain, have been shamefully evaded, has issued another decree, confirming all the former orders, and subjecting those who shall be guilty of clandestinely exporting wheat, barley, or pulse out of the kingdom, if they should be nobles, to imprisonment in a fortress for life; and if of a meaner rank, to the galleys Er life, and con fiscation of their goods : and with the punishment of death, if the same should be done, or attempted, with an armed force." CORN EXCHANGE, LONDON, NOVEMBER 16.

PLYMOUTH, NOVEMBER 14. Arrived sisice my last, the Independence, a 6ne American schooner, letter of marque, of New-York, of 16 guns and 45 men, with a very valuable cargo of brandy, wine, silks, &c. bound to New-York, rap• tured by his Majesty'sfrigate MEDUSA, Hon. Captain ißouvaata commander, after a long and arduous chace, in which the Independence carried away her foremast, or it is probable she would not have been taken, as she sailed exceedingly well. Two days after the capture, 3 American letters of marque, schaoners, fell in with, and re-captured the Independence. On boarding, cue of the American Captains told the Prize-master, that he would take out the best of the cargo and burn the vessel, but that if he (the Prize. master) would give (15,000 for ship and cargo, as a ransom, and would sign a bill to that amount, to be paid by the original captors out of the proceeds, he would liberate her. The Officer consenting to this, the Independence was suffered to go on; and this extraordinary case has been laid before Lord Kavrri. The privateers had just sailed from a French ports where they had fitted out. The Independence had not got clear of them more than two haws, when she. fell in with his Majesty's ships Hoasauft and.Uat- CORN, whom she informed, and who immediately crowded all sail in chace, and great hopes are enterb tamed of their being captured : one of them is called Gipsey.
