LONDON: TEISSOAT, JULY 16, nit 'Many flays, we are persuaded, cannot elapse ere the lite of Itassia be determined.

Already has the pops of ALEXANDER fled Wore their former cob qtwors ; and Wilna, the present head-quarters of tbt Emperor, has been marked oat by BONAPARTE, " the first fruit of victory." At the moment wo mord these events, It is more than probable 6d the Emperor of the FILENcH is prosecuting - Itiv victorious career towards St. Petersburgh, which is slut fosr hundriffNuiles from Willa; for it row seems that the Emperor of Russia is not its suf. 61ent force to resist the overwhelming torrent. These facts are apparent from the third Bulletin of i the Frendt armies, contained in the Mositeur of the lath instant, which meta us this morning. From it swears, that all the French Generals paned Russian frontier, without the least opposition on the part of ALEXANDER ; that BONAPARTE himself bid rea.hed Kowno, only 45 miles distant from - Wilna ; and that his advanced guard had pushed on, umoleried, till within ten leagues of that city.— In fart, the Cossacks are said to have been driven before the French like a cloud, and several of their Oii;cers to lave been taken prisoners. The conduct of Ai es %seen, in the whole of his arrangements, ceitainly aprears marked with a strange infatuation.

Assuming the same dictatorial tone, test present Ministers have unceasingly goaded on that i aniurtanate Monarch, until, by their promises al succour, to be sent when it will be found too late , and of success which can never be realised, t l 'e) have succeeded in again drawing him into a contest, from which he may console himself if he escapes with the loss of only bale half of his Empire. but " hireling Journals of the day, talk of the resorted to by Actual/um as affording • ..ilatory prospects."
