ME SUN. klfatKO 0.1i.g lICMtE I'4I.SM AV ? ! LONDON, MCPCMAIt, JANUARY . 4, 1813. Yt ‘ . .till'be seen by our Plymouth letter, that a chip fron:llikePayannali has been spoken with in Tehich it WiS ,ICarut that the the' Channel' 410 In ilrethusai frigat! , .. i ::after encountering the storm ;already mentioned, returned to the Where' she was left, and no doubt was entertained that she bad subsequently pro. oceded to Jamaica, Accounts from llourdeaux sta,tc, that great cii satisfaction pi availed it yrani•(.. N'Ve insert thisday several* additirmal extracts from the Paris Papers recelved on !4:atorday. They do iu as We then stated, contain one syllable of intelligence from the wreck of theonet Grand Army. BUONAPAItTE AVOW, dollbtiCiS, were it pOSbiIAC, I: , ,lAdly efface from the recollection of the people of France the events of his disastrous campaign in Russia ; but some aecount must oltir»ately be ren dered, something must be told of the fate of the ii i i..erab : e remnant of that vast force which he led lA° Russia, and there can be no doubt that the first Inoment in which his remaining, troops could be said to be safe, or even if only his principal of ficers were in a state of security, the opportunity would be. ea s erly and promptly seized to make a pompous display of some imaginary success, tnime invented brillhAnt exploits, some events, 11.,i'ever remote from the slightest semblance of troth, %Midi would tend to give an eclat upon met to the last act of the French retreat. Yet see that tstenty-seven days had elapsed since the date of the 29th Bulletin, and twenty-five days from the period viApri BuoNAriatry, serted his army, and became a fugitive in disi and although it was asserted, t h the army was at th/nt- period in communication with \Vilna, still no account Whatever is given of any subsequent events. Will any one, after this, be so -credukus as to _believe that the rem nant of the French army, when their leader deserted- them, could possibly have been left in a state of safety? Is it not rather the more pro bable supposition, supported by - thii absence of all notice of the troops for so long a,,period, that BuoNAPAaTe fled in order to avoid great im pending personal danger, in order to avoid the risk of being himself , taken prisoner, leaving to AfuttAa' and his other otli`cers. the task of encountering in • hopeless despair the overwhelming Russian force, which threatened almost immediately to surround them, or to make the beit terms,Abey could with their conquerors when resistance became impossible. This would at Once account for the sudden and rapid flittht of .14JoN.ApaturE,under'an assumed name, and for the absence of all subsequent intelligence' . from ,the head-quarters. , We shall impatiently expect further accounts from Russia, convinced that, as the preceding de tails gave a very different, because ei just, account of the battle of the Beresina to that set fOrth in the 29th Bulletin; so we shall have, from the' same quarter, some intelligence of later events of a cha racter totally different, and at the same tiine inure consistent with truth, to that whii-h the Pfench Bul ktin attempted to iesin►iate. The' absence of all hi telligence in the'Paris Paper:3, for so long . a pc, riod, at so critical a moment, at :my rate, prove 3, that the small remainder of the .French Grand Army must have been le:t by their fugitive leader in a state of great peril and difficulty. There is, we arc assured, more of interest and probable importance in the mission of Lord WAL POLE to Vienna than has hitherto been s tat e d We mentioned, on Saturday last, that his Lord ship went in cons'quence of an invitation 'from , some of the most •distinguished persons in that capital. These persons,we understand,' amounted to fifteen, and; as we before siated, they sent a passport and it letter, signifying that it was their desire that any Englishman of distinction,who might be at t• e RUssian Court, should hasten to Vienna, and intimating that, as the Emperor of AUSTRIA could not be expected to take any part openly hostile to ,his Sun-in-law, they had been induced to'adopt the present measure, in the crisis Of 'affairs occasioned . by the Russtan successes, in the hope that sown: plan might be devised for the restoration of amity between their country and the Russian Empire, and leading, perhaps, to more important consequences for the general benefit of • Europe. V.t: state - with -regret, that on Monday last a Meeting was held at Nottingham:, for the purpose of considering the propriety of Fesenting to the PitINCE REGENT, and to both lionses of Parlia- . meat, Petitions for the restoration of, Peace. We need not dilate on the impolicy of en-tem-as h-1g the Government hysalling upon them to make overtures to such a man as 11I.JON APARTE for peace, after the experiment that once has been tried, and considering the nature:l)f s:ich, a peace'as•he would consent, under those c ircumstances, to grant us if the dignity of the Britis'.) Empire should be so committed as to solicit peace from his hand. The Speakers at this Meeting resorted to the hackneyed topics of America,' the state of our manufactures; etc. all of which, as might, be expectcd,were received with great applanse ; but, as it was a meeting of Englishmen, we feel much concern in adding, that When otteof the speakers, 'Mr. COLD!! Albt; the Town Clerk ,exi7- ressed his satis faction at the degraded conditionitywhich BuO14,1:., palm had retreated from his atrocious invasion of Russia, great. '"dis4prabation was manifested by many oftlte andienee, and when thespeaker said that his retreat had been accompanied by the loss of his army and disgrace,"—" No, no . / hat not," was vot:iferatcd loudly thyough the room. After much declamation, in favour of the proposed measure, Certain Resolutions were passed, and it was i4greed, that they should be inserted. in The Nottingham Review and Journal, but not iu The Nottingham. Gazette, a new Paper, instituted for the support of our best interests in Church and Statei. but at length- this illiberal restriction was over-ruled, and they were permitted to appear also ,in the latter. . , Car DACRES, late of the Guerriere frigate, arrived in town yesterday, and attended at the Ad inixa I ty. Bear-Adiniral EDWARD SAMES FooTE hoisted his flag at Portsmouth, on Saturday, on hoard the Aboukir, 74, Captain GEORGIS PARMER, for the Mediterranean. 11.NSP WM-OFFICE, Q 3 rd e.

BUONAPARTE had not returned to Paris,. and was in a deranged state, from the reverses lii.; army •had met with in the North. By another arrival here this day from Bour deaux, which also sailed on the 23d ult. we learn, that . great dissatisfaction prevailed there 'among the people in general,. but more particularly with the'mercantile body, whose interests appeared to have been forgotten by the French GovernMent. It was, hod: ever, reported,' that, in consequence of repeated applications from the merchants at that plk:e, and hon . ' their being very clamorous, licenses to the number of 68 were about to he . issued to them, allowing the export of their pro perty to this country. Arrived the Foxhound brig of war, Captain PA-. rust!, from a cruise in the Channel, with two Bri tish merchantmen under her convoy, which she recaptured ; one of which is the , shipCutharbie, Captain.

Channel. Arrived the French sloop La Medine, from Roseo, with a cargo of salt, captured about a month since by the Strenuous gun-brig the Me dine was driven into Penzance some days since in distress, having split her sails, and sustained other damage, during a storm.

A Prossian vessel from Bourdeaux ‘vhich arrived here last evening about six o'clock, passed yesier d tv, about three or .four leagues south-west of the Eddystone light-house, a frigate, totally dis- • masted, but from the weather being very hazy, could not dkcover to what nation she belonged— no farther particulars have'yet been received here, and the very . great fog which still continues, Fre vents our ascertaining whether she has arrived in sight of this port. Put in here to join convoy, •the brig Sprightly, WILLIAM DACpisr, master, fron St. John's, Newfoundland, w i t h a cargo consisting of (Aland seal-skins bound to London, Various reports have been circulated here with in these few days, respecting the capture of the Arethusa frigate by an American frigate, off the Havanuah ; but the arriN ai of the Leonidas, Copt. Gamrrrns, from Cork, has in some measure con founded the auth ors of th ese croaking stories ; which ship boarded, in the Channel, the Abraham New land, a running ship from' the Havannah, and from her received intelligence, that the 2frethusa, whikt on a eruize, had been obliged to throw her quarter-deck guns overboard, during the same heavy gale in which the Brazen sloop of war was totally dit , masted, but that she had returned to the Havannah, where she was left, but has, .no doubt, ere this, proceeded to Jamaica for guns. The Leonidas,frigate, is fitting in tarnpool, and the Scylla sloop of war is gone up the harbour.
