We have today no additional arrivals from the seat of warin the North, but letters have reached town from the French coast to the 10th instant, and from Paris to the 7 t h. They notice the rece ip t o f i nte lli gence f ro m Moscow of the 21st October, stating, that as the Engineers, who had been directed to survey Mos cow, had not found sufficient accommodation for the troops during the winter, BONAPARTE had determined to remove his army to Kalouga. No notice whatever is taken in these accounts of the defeat of MURAr on the IStb, by KUTUSOPF ; this will, of course, be the subject of the 25th Bulletin, for the receipt of which we now look with no other emotions than those of mere curiosity. It is of the most gratifying importance to be formed that the French have retreated in the direction of Kalouga—by this movemenr, they are flying from both Capitalt--and this, after the sanguinary occu. pier of Moscow had told his good people of Paris that he would place one foot in Moscow and the other in St. Petersburgh 'ere the winter set isu To wards Kalouga and Tula (which is about sixty miles to the westward of Kalouga, and still farther from Moscow) the French have, no doubt, fled in their desperation, but both these places have, in all probability, been burnt by the Russians, fbr it is but the other day that we learnt frbm Lord CATHCART'S dispatches, that the Militia of Kalouga and Tula re mained firm in their positions. We shall rejoice to beat that the Russians have been apprised of the in. leaded visit in urns to effect another glorious confla gration—we Call it glorious, for this last resource of en enraged nation has succeeded m well at Moscow, that we are anxious to see it repeated. Next to a 14 directed Charge f the bayonet, this is one of the 1101 t formidable engines of warfare, to which the op. Pressed nations of Europe can resort, while France ataintains her present attitude. From a Gentleman who has just arrived from Pe. tersburgb with his family, we learn the interesting fact, that the recruiting in the territories of Aux tabu had been attended with extraordinary success, both, as use are sold, from the liberality of the No. Iles, and the enthusiasm of the people.—and from one iirtrict to the north-east of Sh Petersburgh, 800 sharp *timers of remarkable skill, had left their country in a Body, and had joined the ranks under the gallant and successful Wrrrnatisrux, prior to the storming of Polotsk. THE PENINSULAi The glorious intelligence front the North is, we ikar, not without its alloy. A Corunna Mail reached Town this morning, the intelligence by which, we are lorry to find, goes fax to realize all the gloomy pre. sages, which Nee have of late reluctantly laid before the public on the subject of our prospects in Spain. On the authority dour private communications from the army, we lay our extracts from the Corunna Pa- pets before the public without comment—they will nut admit of oue which would be agreeable, and it is painful (to us at least) to be the harbingers of dis agreeable intelligence. One broad fact, however, we cannot conceal—the French, under SOUL; SucHrr, • and JOSEPH, are rapidly advancing towards Madrid, from the South, while SOUHAM or CLAUSEL, with the Army of Portugal, as it is called, presses with equal rapidity, perhaps ) towards the same goal from the North. Oh that the boasted Ali. cant expedition had been nocenful I How many widows—how many mothers—will yet have to mourn the fatal COunsels, which permitted JOSEPH to unite his scattered troops with those of Solna and Smiler! • " CORUNNA, OCTOBER 29. " Lord Wellington ) knowing of the junction of Soult and Suchet, and that they intended to make an excursion to Madrid, for which purpose they had already arrived at Btlmonte, marched from the neighbourhood of Burgos, to reinforce General Hill s and prevent any fortunate result for the French." 16 TOLEDO, OCTOBER It " Sault, with 13,000 infantry and 7000 horse, Is approaching, and is already in San Clement', but, notwithst.inding that, we are perfectly easy, as out forces are superior, Medico's horse ate gone to join Penne and Morillos ; and the Medico remains ad in kfinf, Governor of this place, with all his infantry, which he is endeavouring to augMent." 1 $ MADRID, NW/EMIR is ' 4 A letter which we have seen from the head. quarters of the 2d 2nd Sd armies b dated the I ith inst. says, that Soult, on the 9th Instant, marched for Ca lospena i the last division, which consisted of from 4 to 5000 men, with a considerable quantity of horse, were on the-8d before Caravaca. On the 7th an ene my's battalion of infantry, and SOO horse, presented themselves within cannon4ot of Penas de S. Pedro, and received some fire, to'ivhich they did not reply, but continued their march towards Tabarra. In this point there were on the same day 0 or 7000 men, tube are supposed to be part Soule! and part Suchet's troops, who proceeded from Albacete to pro tect the passage of the former. It is thought that there is a corps of from 9 to 10,000 men, with a considera ble quantity of artillery, in Albacete. The enemy wish to maintain themselves in that point to facilitate the collecting of provisions. For the same purpose another enemy's corps of 4000 infantry and SOO horse scours the neighbourhood ofJorquera. a We know that the ptiblic would be pleased by our giving intelligence of the Movement and progress of our armies ; to their juk demands we must reply, that die publication of certain military facts would not fonvatd the military operations ; the enemy might derive great service from it. We have read several Valentina Gazettes, and observe that the French say nothing Of the riositicns or movements of their armies. Will ft not be tithe enough for us to inform them of what they do not know, when they instruct us t For this reason we will content ourselves with saying, that the fears of some pusillanimous persons are unfounded, and vain are the hopes of the secret agents of the intrusive king, who disseminate alarms deserving the most severe punishment.

This of itself would be alarming, but it must be doubly so when we inform our Readers, that the French are now in such force between the British army and Corunna, that all communication has been intercepted. His Lordship's dispatches have no doubt betn intercepted.. Letters were this morning received by iiinistets from Colonel Bouaxx, at Corunna, dated an the Bth instant, to the above effect. Colonel Boulez also states, that the only intel ligence he had been able to gain of the British army, was through the medium of some private letters, which are dated at Duenas, on the 24th ult. oil which diy the head-quarters were at that place; but this is all we know—at least it is all chit has brat permitted to transpire.

The Americans are preparing for the in vasion of Lower Canada, but it is probable that they will have learnt from the lesson already given them by General BROCK, in the defeat of their va pouting General HULL, that the projected conquest will not be effected with such means as they had calculated upon. From the extracts given in another part of this Paper, it will be seen that the Governor of Ca nada can count upon being able to bring 80,000 men into the field against General DICARDORNS, should he venture to enter the British possessions. It will he some time before the Americans can muster such an army ; but they must present a much larger force before they can expect to mike any impression. We are sorry that the Atnencads have comineaced a system of petty warfare, which, while it may prove distressing to the frontier inhabitants, instead of being of any rea' benefit to themselves, will only tend to provoke retaliation and expose their own sea• ports to the danger of being laid in ashes by our men of war.

It turned out, that the Danish master, who was 'also owner of the ship, having been detained at Boor.. Ideatix a long time, by circumstance; which did Hot very distinctly appear, at last bethought himself of getting away, under protection of an English licence ; and though be knew nothing about any cargo to be obtained a Havre, or elsewhere * he wrote, in ffpril, to ah agent of his own in London, who procured for him the licence above-described, which bore date on the 11th of May, and was to afford protection for four months. He had a clearance from Bourdeaux six days before the licence was expired, but did not get out of the river of Bourdeaux till eight days after its expiration. This delay was'accounted for by the master's having come over to England in the mean while, and stayed some time on some law concerns, and afterwards gone to Paris to look for a freight, and thence to Bourdeaux to repair his ship. He stated that he did not hear of a freight till the 19th of August, and then only by letter from Paris, but did not say what the cargo for England w.s to be * or who was to supply it. PORTSMOUTH.
