The Preach lett se •ster-I Ilr.usand sick In M scow, in the most misei aide state."_ _ .v the St. Petersburg') Gazette, brought by the Mail, we are furnished with various N'iss'an Bulletins, including Field Marshal Ku ruso . w's account of the operations of the army under his commdt:d, from the 4th to the 15th October. The most impot tam affair which occurred dui log the above period, beside the defeat cf Mt; it AT, on the 18th ult. was of the cap ture of Wereja, on the south side of the great road between Gshatsk and Moshaisk, by a corps under General Do Roc it ow, who bad been detached by Kurusow, prior to the 13th of October, to act upon 'the whole line between these two points So great was the impetuosity of the Russians, that the i wrench silents were carried early in the morning by storm, in half an hour, and the place completely in their hands. In the course of the day, a French corps coming to the relief of the place, made its appearance on the Moshaisk road, but finding that it was too late, it commenced its retreat, in which, being pur sued by the Russian light cavalry, it suffered considerable loss. 'This action was remarkable for the co-operation of 1000 pea sants, collected by a Priest of a neighbouring Ch•arch. Be sides magazines and bread, the soldiers found a good booty in money. From the Journals of the operations of the Russian armies, it appears that the detachments of Russians placed on the roads approaching the French, besidts making prisoners, and pre venting the collection of provisions and forage, having daily cut to pieces great numbers of the enemy, taken ammunition waggons, blown up powder chests, and destroyed whole parks of 'artillery. These parties formed an unbroken line of con nection all round the enemy's positions, so that he could not =VI in any direction without being subjected to attack. The NOV. troops peculiarly serviceable in this species of warfare we re the Cossacks,. of whom no less than 24 additional re..;intents had joined General Ku tisov) , by the 12th of October; the regular corps also, were complered by recruits from the uei-11. bowing Governments. But it was not only on the troop s , re . gular or irregular, that the Gt net al had to rely. The villa..,er s k.ept watch on high hills and church steeiles, and at sii t ht of an enemy rung alarm bei!s, the sound of which assembled thein all together, when they bound themselves by an oath to mutual defence, tin] a4teed to punish cowai dice or desertion as the basest of crimes. Th e Cossacks hovered on the flanks of the Ft enrb army. and actually ventured to engaLe frc. quent skirmishes. But this was not all :in the very streets of Moscow, French Office's were attatled and murdered by the natives ; and although it was not prudent to own so much, it did certainly appear in 8:411e instances. that the blow was in. tended for Buo• APA aTE himself. Meanwhde the French cavalry and ammetniti!:n horst s suffered an alarming diminu tion, not less, it is salmi, than 60,000 in the whole. The men also, feeding on hoise flesh, and in want of bread, became sickly, and died in great numbets Meanwhile the supply i provisions to the Utissiatis is %Yell regulated, that the unit' army does rust sutrer the least want, aed the g' eat roads had int; to the army me covered with o ': ts, which eoniefloni all th- most fruitful Governments in the vicinity of which it ;s s•atioiled. _ _ in the action with Mon AT, on the 18th, the colours given to his own corps lot their distinguilted conduct in the battle of Austerlitz, and inset ihed with all their celein ated p!oits, were ladktn by the Cossacks, and have since been pi eAuitekl to the Emperor At.

'the L Prince of ODEN LIU " " II"' to be proposed to the Polish nation ti r a soNe reign. Fr"el) Pacers to the i inst, came to hand on Wednesday. They contain no fresh Bulletin, nor is there eny intelhgence of importance from the theatre of war in the Ntirth. Time is a ptivate letter fi om Moscow. of the 19th, the design ut which is evidently to pi epare the minds of the people of Frantse fir the coming disasters of the enemy in their retreat new the Rtei.sian territories; and an article from Vienna gives some de. tails of the operations of the Austrian auxiliary face. From Warsaw it is stated that no attack was dieacijd on that city, though-Tchechazoff menaced it, but afterwards retired to le inforce "l'ormazoff It is curious that there is not the slihtest notice of wheie BUONA PA RTE himself was, when the last advices came front the armies. Advices, of a late date, received from Hamburgh, state, that an imurrection had taken place at Fulda and Hesse Cassel, on the same principles as the recent insurrection at Paris, the parties concerned having previously spread a report of the death of BUON AP ART E. Unforttpately the leaders of the conspiracy were apprehended, and will probably undergo the same fate as those in Paris. The latest recounts received by the Cottenburgb mail, mention that the Government of Denmark refused the re quest of the French Amba , sador to allow the Danish Royal Authorities to be present at the Tc Deum sung • in the Chap el of the French Embassv_at Copenhagen, in consequence of the entrance of the enemy into Moscow. It i s even stated that the Court of Denmark will speedily propose conditions of peace with this country. Conjecture has been very busy, relative to the object of the French General, who sailed from hence in the Armide frigate. on Thursday se'nnight. We apprehend that he has been landed in Quiberon Bay, where a strong force is or g anizin g undo (he Bourbon banner, against the Corsican. THE NATIONAL REGISTER.
