There the Russians fell upon the almost immediately, sword in hand, and in tic confusion that ensued, BOONAPARTE changed his dress, and set off at full gallop to \Vilna, from whence ha travelled without delay to Paris, leaving his army to shift for them selves, or, in other words, 'leaving them to the completion of that destruction which he 'had brought upon them. Such was, the retreat which his 'Ministers, 'Senators, and Orators, and the enslavad press of France, have been command ed to denominate glorions. The remains of the main.army left at Smorgonie, reached Vilna on the evening of the 9th, but the Russians entered the place nearly at the same time, and the French took the road to Kowno. In the pursuit to Wilna, front the 2d to the 9th, the Russians took about 10,000 prisoners, exclusive of the 3000 Bavarians who surrendered to Count Kurnsow. At %Vilna, the prisoners taken, in cluding the sick, amounted to , 15,000.

These. 10,000, in their retreat to Kowno, were closely pursued and harassed by Pi4rorp, nod there is every reason ,to believe that a very small munlivr, of theni ultimately. escaped. Never was the distruction of an immense invading army more complete.--Never did vaulting ambi - flint move signally overleap itself. The complete, success, of the Russian. a ,- Ins led to the defection of the Prussian4frOm the French, of MOO we gave the details, on Satttrday, fful this was followed by MACDONALD being. compelled to evacuate Tilsit and fly to Konigsburgh.

Two regiments of the Russian infantry laid down their arms, we besides took an howitzer and its caisson.
