The arrival of the Twentieth French Bulletin has entirely extinguished the feeble hope 'that was still t herished by many, that the French had not actually age possession of Moscow. But though this fact tannot now be disputed, a dispassionate review of 'lithe circumstances, will be found to afford some matter for exultation. We find the French them selves solemnly announcing to the world that Mos cow is no more ! ! The winter•quarters—the re pose.-the plenty—which the turbulent enemy of man kind promised to his train of butchers and assassins, lure eluded his grasp, acrd the ruthless invader is now rated in the Kremlin amid an ocean of flame ! or other a dreary solitude, where all is ruin, havock, &nation, and horror around him. haVe dispatched g select body bo the southward ) bY the circuitous roots of KalOgst. Thus may we fairly say, the trench slipped into Moscow, and finding it script of its natural defence, they more easily succeeded in establishing themselves there. Even this, however, was not effected without a sanguinary struggle. The main streets of Moscow are secured by gates at each end ; so that a compa ratively small force was sufficient, at least for a time, to prevent the enemy from spreading over the city. The nobles, merchants, traders, and chief part of the inhabitants. (according to the French account) had withdrawn before the French troops arrived. A cer tain number of brave men appear to have been left, ' who resolutely defended themselves. Two days after the occupation of the Kremlin by the Barbarian, the spirit of the universal Russian na tion was roused from its slumbers. Like their bre thren in calamity in the Peninsula, the Russians have now gone forth to meet the destroyer, with the sword in one hand and the torch in the other. Like them, let the Russians persevere in the struggle, and the days of NAPOLEON will be tdo short to enable him to boast of the conquest of that Empire. The burning of Moscow was indeed a horrible project," but who occasioned it ? The burning of 30,000 helpless wounded Russians was indeed an un paralleled act of barbarity, but who was the author ofit ? Look stedfastly at that wretch who now op presses you, brave and gallant Russians-.-let the dying groans of your miserable countrymen animate you to deeds of vengeance in return. Rise as one man and liberate Russia and the world from its mortal enemy. —Go forth determined to conquer or die and, the victory will be yours ! Let there be no regard paid to those military tac tics, which would subject large masses of troops for hours to a distant and murderous cannonade, as in the battle of Mojaisk. Come in,to the field with the bayoriet.—the lance—the sabre—the pike—the pitch fork--the knife and the dagger I Whether they or the French first began the con. I flagration may be doubted. There was a cannonade i on both sides ; and we may even suspect that the con.' test was carried on during three successive days; for the Bulletin says, " On the 14th the Russians set fire " to the Exchange, &c. " On the 16th a violent wind " arose, and three or four hundred ruffians set fire to " the city in five hundred different places." If so large a body of men could traverse the city for any such purpose, it is evident that the invaders could not have obtained at that time an undisputed possession of the town. This part of the Bulletin contains one of those insolent avowals of disregard for all acknowleged prin ciples of law, which ought never to pass without the most-marked and indignant reprehension. The Rus sians had indisputably a right to destroy their own property, in order to prevent its falling into the hands of their enemies ; but for executing an order to that effect given by a competent authority, the Bulletin boasts that one hundred men were apprehended (as if in the administration of a regular police), and shot.— However the conflagration was produced, whether wholly by one party, or in part by both, its effects must have been awfully terrible; and many thousands both of the assailants and defenders must have fallen victims to each other's rage. Upon a review of every circumstance connected with the Russian campaign, there exists ao thinking man who will not join us in asserting, that a rigid adherence to his system will enable the Emperor ALEXANDER to rise superior to the blows which he has sustained. On the part of his people we see the most ardent devotion to their sovereign and to their country—the reverses they have sustained instead of disheartening, have exasperated them to madness. If we look to his Army, we find that it has retired un broken . and undismayed, and the conflagration of Moscow accomplished, as it most probably. was, by the inhabitants themselves, has placed their invaders in a most perilous situation ; nay, we might almost add, that they are at the mercy of the enraged population by which' they are now surrounded. KuTusory, reinforced by ROSTOYCIIIN, is in the immediate neighbourhood of Moscow. The victorious WITTGENSTEIN has by this time been joined at Polotsk by 20,000 men from Finland ; and TOR. MASS P's corps, together with the Moldavian army, will form a body of 30,000 at Bialistnck, about half way between Warsaw and Wilna, in the rear of Bo- NAPARTE. It seems therefore next to impossible, if the French armies were in a condition to advance, (which can hardly be supposed) that they could venture to make any movement agaipst St. Petersburg)). On the contrary, with time such formidable armies, as it were surrounding them, it appears exceedingly pro. blematical, bow they are even to maintain themselves at Moscow, and keep open the communications with their rear throughout the winter.

At the close of tile poll this day the numbers were: Combe - - - 4584 Atkins . - Sleiti Curtis - - - 4096 Waithntan - 82:13 Shaw - - - 3665 Wood - - tO6B Mr. Alderman COMBR thanked the Electors for situation in which they had placed him on the . and in which, he hoped they would con t inue hi m . Sir W. CURTIS, Sir J. SHAW, and Mr. Alderman ATKINS, severally made their bows, and, pointing - the poll, retired. Mr. WatTirmAtc, being received with loud aecl mations, stepped forward to the front of the hustinF and addressed the assembly. He said, the W ott l Aldermen who hhad just retired, after pointing to poll, pretended to consider the state of the poll ; triumph to them ; but he assured them, they did think so ; but, on the contrary, viewed it, and anti, pated the consequences to which it was likely to lr with aching hearts. Vor his own part, so far _ considering the state of the poll, even as it now stood, —and should he not be honoured with another votr as a triumphant victory gained by his opponent when he looked rotund and saw that 2233 independent Liverymen had polled, on the present occasion, ' him, a private individual, in spite of all the camp influence employed ag ainst him, he could not regard it as any thing short of a triumph to the cause of Ir dependence !—To. use the language of a celebrar Writer, he could compare it to nothing but , 6 convulsions of an expiring giant," making hiL effort. In the present contest he saw the expiring pangs of corruption. He looked back to the ' tions for the City of London doting-the last .50 y and, notwithstanding the great increase of co: influence within that period, from the enlarged tary expenditure of the country, and from the creased taxation, he was happy to assure them never had corruption experienced so formidat check as on the present occasion. The- number Electors wt,:i had promised him their votes was able to carry his election; if they would only come early on Monday. lie should afford them the portunity, and let them recollect that it was own cause. Numbers who had promised him \ had retracted, on the ground that they dared , venture on doing so, under the penalty of disobliging some of their best customers. He could nut object to such excuses as this, he having no right to dicta* to any man how he ought to act t this, however, might be allowed to say, that, for 18 years, be encountered every risk of this kind, and, as a sary consquence, in the course of that period, made many sacrifices for what he esteemed the publie good. It Gentlemen, however, would not join supporting their own causer how could they him to do It for them ? Mr. Alderman WOOD said, there wile still 5000 to 6000 of the Livery to poll, and be was termined to persevere to the last. f• • 4. / So • E sqrs , Esq. • the • q. • Esq , ken& ibirlee; • rent: 0. 1 1 233 068 ):* the poll, 1. rman ng !oda. tinge, nrthy to the As a d not Hoch lead, from itood o • kval !nts—. ndent n, tor. itrupt egard at In- irated ' " the is last piring Elec. years, irrupt I mih= he in- n that ' ible a )er as gill me up he op.
