LONDON: MIMI= 11 ) IRit A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning, with rapers to the sth instant, bringing the important intelligence that accounts haft been received from Carlsham and the Russian ports, stating, that the whole French army were retreating in four columns from Moscow. If these reports should prove cor rect, they will cast a new feature upon the Russian I'Var ; and the statement given . in the 24th Bulle tin, that only a tenth part of the town had been savell from the flames, in contradiction to the former 6!3tement% and that the army was going into winter gJarters, in twenty days, renders them in some I measure p r obable; and we should not be surprised to Lear that the Freadt army were to retrograde to Po.. land. From the falseaccounts so often bronghtby the Gottenburgh Mails, it is prudent to receive them .4ith caution ; but in this instance theyappeu to be, in some measure, corroborated by the French Pa. pers. Go:reticence, Nov. 4..Differeat accounts re. ceived from Carlshara, Riga, and the Russian ports, agree in stating, that the French who advanced to. wards galoaga had retreated ; some even go so far as to stirs that the whole French army is in retreat, in four columns. Twza, Styr. 20 (0c5. 4 2).--.-Every emigrant from Moscow confirms the relation given by the others ) who, after that capital was 'taken by the enemy, tied from it, viz. that the French incessantly continue to plunder the city, and that their rage exceeds all conception. These barbarians, who surpass eves the Tartars in cruelty and savageness, who once de, stroyed our country, have not respected at Moscow even the sanctity of the churches. Several church,s in that city have been plundered, destroyed, and set on fire, and-others turned into stables. Pszow, si.rt. IS (30). —Yesterday arrived in our city ,fresh bodies of the oew-raised Peterabereli Wise. After • having rested themselves here, they proceeded yesterday to their &titillation. KOS? litON A, AIM. tit (AMT. o).—Yesterday the new (Lest regiment raised here, marched out of this city. NO,OGOSOD, SETT. 22 (OcT. 4).—On his Impe rial Majesty's corotiation day, viz. Sept. 15 (27), the first brigade of Norogorod warriors, consisting of 2,400 men, under the command of Colonel Count Gozowte, marched ont of this city ; and soon af terwards the second brigade, of equal force, follow ed them, under the command of Cul. PUG no sow. Rsucw, 18TH (30TH) Serc.—The places in this vicinity are at present more quiet than heretofore. The inhabitants here returned in small parties. In the adjoining Sytchew Circle, we are informed that the enemy still continues to make inroads, and the Land Commissioner there has daily enough to do with the enemy, numbers of whom he has sent into the other world, and almost every day takes from 20 to 100 men, whom he sends off to Sudzow. If he continues in so doing, he will soon clear, not only his own, but likewise the neighbouring circles, en tiAy of the enemy. Suosow, Sus.. 19 (Oct. 1).-..-Out situation with respect to the enemy still continua the same. The French are from 48 to 80 worsts from es, and nuke no inroads into our circle. The Commissary, in the town of Sytchewki, who is daily catchifsg the French marauders, seeds 'them away thretigh out town, in Parties of 25, 60, and 100 men.

Hallam's, Nov. 10.—Arrived the Lord Duncan packet, Hamilton, with Mails and passengers from Gottenburgh. She was detained four hours for a Messenger who had not reached Gottenburgh when she sailed. There is no news that can be relied ou. The komeward-bound Baltic convoy is within a day's sail of the laud. -....1.1...- In yesterday's Paper we gave a considerable mass of French news, the complexion of which has but too fully countenanced our uniform reasoning upon the probable result of the war in the Peninsula. We have alto this day given further extracts from the French Papers, in which will be found an official account of the judgment pronounced by the Military Commission, created at Moscow, by NAPOLEON, for the trial of the authors and abettors of the con flagration, when ten of them were condemned to the punishment of death, and sixteen others were ordered to be cou fined. With respect to BONAPARTE'S • conduct in punishing these.incendiaries with death, we shall for the present suspend our opinion. How long our Ministers will deem it proper or safe to go en in the same course, we do not pretend to say. Their conscious imbecility has rendered them but too plastic in the over warm hands of such men as your VETUSES, whose perseverance and prolixity is capable of making them do any thing, but resign their places to make way for his patron. Our Mi nisters individually and collectively exhibit, by their I perversity, and yet vacillating conduct, one of the greatest phenomenon in politics: which is, that while no set of meu, in power, ever handled tools better than they have uniformly done, 'master produced more miserable work by their labours. Through the general aspect of our intelligence from abroad, it is equally evident that they turn the immense sums, granted under the denomination of Secret Service Money, to an equally bad account.— It may indeed be truly called Secret Service Money, for, except in the item is the Budget every year, and the diminution of the profits of the mischievous Droits of Admiralty now and then, no. one would discover, by the conduct of oar foreign affairs, that any such appropriation was a part of our general ex penditure. We do hope and trust, however, most sin cerely, if not In pity to such men as are placed at the head of our affairs, at least for the general credit of the State, that no part of this hidden treasure will have been employed in foment lug the late miserable mockery of a conspiracy at . Paris ! ! A set of more unknown obscure individuals never disgraced the name and object of a legitimate I ifessurrection. We again repeat, that we shall be sorry And ashamed to have it thought that the Cabinet of Great Britain *ill be named in any Court of Europe, *at ewe of its secret agents in France has had any *king to do with, or in any mauner communicated with, a single person in the list of those poor wretches who have just suffered for their temerity in one of the nest cruel, ill-timed, end impotent attempts at re bellion that ever was witnessed. Unavailing, however, as this stir has proved, it cannot but alarm many susceptible minds, especially those who are acquainted with the ill-blood NAPO' LEGE% frequent conscriptions must necessarily occa sion in all those countries where his military sway p evails. We shall, therefore, not be in the least sur prised, if he is prevailed on to. return t o p at h ; an d if h e cannot obtain a treaty of humility and cission from , the Emperor ALExxxota, to resolve on withdrawing the whole of his force from theancient metropolis of the Russian Empire, and whiter the greater part of it In Poland. lie may be persuaded to believe, that be has sufficiently diminished the hostile power of his northern enemy, and if otherwise, that he may easily recommence his hostile preparations next spring; and at all eventi, be better enabled to pro secute his wishes against that Power nearer home, which alone has been able to stand effectually against him. Ttiis latter consideration it lrhoves our Mi -1 nisters seriously to reflect on. YARMOUTII, Nov. 10.—Arrived his Majesty's ship Pyramus, from the Baltic, with Vice-Admiral Sir James Saumarez on board, who has landed and pro ceeded immed:ately for London. At the time the Pyramus sailed a report prevailed at Gottenburgh, that the French were retreating in four divisions. DARTMOUTH, Nov. 9.--Arrived the Manuala, Farro, from Gijon. The Java frigate and her convoy sailed last even lug, from Spithead, with a fair wind, down Channel, I for the East Indies. General Hutt e and suite, with a number of passengers, are gone in the Java' for Bomlety. The Plivbe frigate, now lying at Plymouth, h or. Awed to In fitted lautiedietely for forams service. I Our readers will recollect that we, several days ; ago, stated, that Admiral Ron had left town fos St. Petersburgh, for the purpose of bringing the Russian fleet to this country ; which report, we believe, will prove correct. Yesterday, Lord CARTLRRRAOR and the Earl of MOIRA had audiences of the Pntscz Rioter. Yesterday, at half-past four o'clock, the PRINCE RIG EITT left Carlton-house, to pass a few days at Houghton, Suffolk ) the seat of the Earl of Cgousor• ' ORLEY. Accounts are given in the Paris Papers from Con. stantioople, the object of which is to impress the be. lief that a chanze has taken place in the .policy'' et the Ottoman Porte, favourable' to the views of Bo- NAPARTE. The following are extracts from the Danish Papers with which we have been favoured :- 44 COPENHAGEN, OCT. 10.—The Danish privateer Rostock has taken a ship laden with colonial produce, and carried her into Langeland. On the 2d October, early in the morning, two British frigates and a brig approached, with the view to retake' tho vessel.— Major HAEOR OULDBERG returned a brisk fire upon the enemy, with his division of volunteer artillery, and the action continued from seven in the morning until two in the afternoon, when the ships withdrew. The loss of the English was considerable, and they were obliged to burn the brig." " COAST 9i ZEALAND, Oct. s.—On the Ist of this month, a Dtuish convoy, consisting of 200 sail, being under-way for the Belt, and four vessels of war belonging to the enemy making their appear anat. oer First Lieutenant colMarlues, M. PaYyz, put to sea with four armed sloops. An engagement took place for two hours, after which tha enemy thought it prudent to sheer off. In the progress of 'this affair, the numerous convoy had the opportunity of making fur bafety to the ports of Skrelskiver and ' Corsaer." " Roams, Oct. 10.—The corps of the Duke Of &luxe° occupies the neighbourhood of Bo brinske, in Lithuania." 44 . WARSAW, OCT. I.—By a Royal Decree, THA- I DIWS IllAsowsxt, who was Minister in France, and i who has posse.sions there, has been nominated Mi nister of the Interior in Poland." The letters from the French coast continue to ret terate the same confused and mysterious hints of plots and conspiracies, which probably esist mote in the inclinations, than in the acts, of a great part of the. French populatioe. The truthis, that France, ,in all that. regards her civil existence, is fallen prema turely into the decreidtude of the Roman Empireiti its later stages, when no revolutions were to be es pected•hut of a military datum: and on every explo sion of that kind, the people stupidly looked; oit, fearful to appear even by. their. gestures, to approve of any but the congnerer We suspect that the case was mach.tbe same Pa rk en the late occasion.-- The struggle was, probably ! betweeo a certain tted'y of National Qaactle, and a much larger . force•in the pi of. the. Ministers. .The report of Ssvaitirs death is again repeated, with Ail cenfirrnaterrfact, ; ,it that Raestam Da Sr. JEEN D . 4*Cll/4 is tb!.qw Minster of Police. . •• ' . STATESMAN oirrrei, TWO'O'CLOCK. Dispatches were this morning received by Govern ment, from Sir JAMES SAussaaza, brought by the Gottenburgh Mail. Two ter► contradictory reports have been received by this conveyance. It is in one stated, that the French are entirely surrounded .in Mciscow, and completely cut off from ali their sup plies. Another account is, that the principal part of the French army have kit that arishboarhood, and are &drawing towartisfeterobargb. e 1, , -.--- - ....,. ~. ....-• : -...— . — r7 -,.- 4 ,, r7 -vft..-.-~«,-------,-7- -fir fr 4 / ' 1 COPENT.CARSISN THEATRE. ,i • ..1, : , lon l i The Historical Trair7ro ( Th e Earl of *pews • . i.;. ~. th e ! was brought forward, at this House, forthe purpose ! 1 ..
