LONDON: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER. 14, I£ll4. A Gottenbargh Mail arrived late this forenoon, with Papers to the 3d inst. from which we take the following interesting extracts : BIMLtI4, SEPT. 17.—According to report, his Im perial Majesty the Emperor NapoLaos, has de clared that the present campaign shall • be considered es concluded •n the 10th of October. GOTTENIBURGII, OCT. 2.—According to an Allona Meratry, received this morning, the French claim a victory on the 3d, pretending to have killed 12,000, and taken 5,000 prisoners. They at , the same time Limit that General CAULINCOURT, and General Ivinwrantrw, were killed, and General COMPANS Wounded. Seven sail of Russian battle-ships arrived here a fe►e days ago from Archangel ; they parted company with the eighth ship, which, it is greatly feared, has foundered. They experienced dreadful weather. The Admiral's ship lost all her topmasts. Admiral CnowN, Commander in Chief; Rear. Admiral KLo itarceorr, second; and Commodore Scor, third in command ; they intend proceeding to Petersborgh the Gro fair wind. The Mercarius sloop of war arrived yesterday from the Nore, with a convoy of foity-sevett sail. Orders yesterday came here to take up 1'2,000 lasts (24,000 tons) of shipping to se Rye in the es pedition. About ten days ago, orders were received by the Governor, from Stockholm, to give notice to a Mr. Yvom (a Frenchman), formerly a merchant, to leave this city in three days, and the country in eight. Mr. Yvora left this last Saturday for Copen. hagen ; but a messenger, who arrrived in the evening, with dispatches to the Governor, had also orders for Mr. YVON to be arrested, and if he had gone, to be immediately sent after, which was done, and on fsanday be was taken at lielsingborg, and his papers felled. He is now here undergoing an interroga tion; nothing. however, has yet transpired, that the reason of his arrests is, for having been in cor respondence with AMMER ) the French Ambas sador, at Copenhagen. Mammon, Suer. 21—The details of the memo rable victory gained on the 7th lost. by his Majesty the Emperor Naroutox upon the banks of the Mos kowa, the name of which it has taken, were to-day read upon the Exchange. The enemy had a strong position, and it was re quisite to manoeuvre to turn their redoubts, which in front were difficult of access. But what cannot courage, directed by genius, ac complish ? After the most violent efforts the enemy were driven from all their positions. From that moment their lobs was enormous; !O pieces of cannon remained in the power of the French. At the departu►e of the courier, they were following up their advantages. The battle of Moskowa was fought two leagues from Mojahl, and twenty-five from Moscow. CAssr.t.z., Saar. 19.—A courier arrived here to day, from Wilna, from the Grand Army, announce that his Majesty the Emperor NaitoLaos, obtained en the 7th ivat. a, groat victory over the Russians, near Mojaisk, the last town before Moscow.

STATESMAN Government of Fetersbergh, marched from the capi tal, after having been reviewed by his Majesty the Kmperor, and received the blessing of the Arch bishop. These troops retain their natioeld dress. — They wear round hats, embellished with a cross and an inscription—" For our religiod and Dative coils try." They are armed with good muskets and bayo nets, and have battle-axes at their sides. These troops are inspired with the most lively enthusiasm, and when the Emperor arrived to conduct them to the city gates, he was received and accompanied with the most cheerful buzzes. On the 15th inst. several regular regiments marched from hence, which, as well as the recruits, are intended to reinforce the army at the Dwina. imasonmscity, but not strong either by art or nature, was not deemed adviseable—for Bonamatz, with his superior force, might have pushed a strong divi sion over the Moskwa, and have penetrated into the rear of the city, so as to have cut off the retreat of the Russians, by the Vladymir read. They would then have been cooped up in Moscow, and the consequences might have been fatal to them.. Nor could Moscow have been preserved from the ruin that has befallen it. The bombardment of the city by the French—the reciprocal firing of the Russian and French artillery would have set fire to the city, for the most part built of wood, quite as effectually as Bolvarmin re. presents it to have been done by the agents of the Governor Rorroscutn. It was better, therefore, for the Russians to retire in unbroken force, leaving Moscow, reluctantly of course, to its fate." In our Paper of yesterday, after giving • faint picture of the dreadful conflagration at Moscow, se related in the Twentieth Bulletin, and descanting on the barbarous policy that prompted Aizassoett to His Majesty's ship Scylla has been ordered by Telegraph from Plymouth to Yarmouth, to collect all the transports with troops, and proceed with them to the westward, where the remainder of the convoy are to rendezvous, and sail for Lisbon and Corunna, without delay. An order was this day issued by Government for taking up 90,000 additional tons of shipping, to take out further reinforcements and supplies to the Penin sula. have recourse to such frantic acts of desperation, we thought it not improper to eiamine, for a moment, into the conduct and character of those who appear to be the principal managers of this tragic-political _ . drama. In tracing the sanguinary stream of war from its confluence to its polluted source, we had occasion to recur to the Cabinet of St. James's, as being chargod with disseminating, by its policy and intrigue, those disatrous calamities of war among sur. rounding nations, which are preying upon the inter- The following Notice, posted up yesterday at nal vitals of its own kingdom.

ALDERMAN IVOW.ra FRIENDS. A numerous and .highly respectable Meeting of the Friends of Mr. Aldermen Wood took place ou U on . day, at the Albion Tavern, in Aldersgate-street. At about six o'clock, the company sat down to an ele gant dinner, at which the Worthy Alderman presided. A Gentleman concluded an energetic and eloquent Address, by proposing the health of Mr. Alderman. Wood, with thanks for his past anxieties and wishes for his future success. This toast was followed with the most tumultuous and unbounded ap e lause. Mr. Alderman WO O D rose evidently much agitated by the tribute of affection and regard that had been offered him. Its referred to the election that had that day terminated, which, although it had not in ts effect .ealatd tie tit?.?.c a. Hats of that independent portion of the Livery that had invited him to come forward as a Candidate for their suffrages, yet it had, upon a consideration of the circumstances that had attended the Election, ob tained for them a triumph worthy of their exultation. The Worthy Alderman here entered into a constitu tional argument upon the Freedom of Election, de precated in terms of warm indignation the manner its which it was abused and perverted, and declared, that . ;f ever he should be returned to Parliament, it must be by the unbiassed suffrages of freemen, kr that he never would swerve from that path which conscience and duty directed him to pursue, and conscientiously ho could never solicit the vote of any man whose opinions were adverse to his own. Duriug the election that he had then contested, he had acted upon t'.is princi ple,—he had n9t solicited the suffrage ofhis most in. timate friend. He declared himself the constant friend of Peace, of Parliamentary Reform, and of Civil and Religious Liberty, and concluded by drinking to the health of the company. Resolutions were agreed to for supporting Mr. Al. derman Wood on a future vacancy, and a Committee of forty Gentlemen was immediately formed, and as unanimous pledge made to give effect to them. Mr. Alderman Wood retired at eleven o'clock, and Mr. Deputy King took the chair, and the evening ter. Initiated in the utmost harmony and conviviality. RETURN OF COUNTRY MEMDEI& East Loot—Sir E.
