Paris Papers to the 6th .instant reached town yesierday, containing the 2flth :Bullefir4 (bleed Moscow, the' lith ult. which - places . beyond all doubt the entrance of the French into that-city. It spews, however, still more decidedly than the former Bulletin, that BUONAPARTE has . failed tp obtain the quarters or the supplies for his army - ) to which be locked as the expected result of the possession of Moscow. Destructionjias completely enveloped the city, and " M.osc;ow,"‘.las .we are told in the Bulletin, " .is no more." It is singular that the same silence respecting the ,movement's that preceded tlae entrance into Moscow, which 'characterized • the 14th still pre. vails in the present document, no informa• tion whatever upon that point being given. —lt is evident, however, from what is tint ed, that there must have been several sanpinary conflicts in the streets of Moseow s :and.thatjhe trench were unable' to prevent thedestriretion of the city ; and the chagrin and disappointment - of BUONAPARTE at these events, which have merely left him its smoking ruins and desolated site, are visible throllout the querulous production de nominated the -;lletiti. Amidst the horrors of so direful a conflagration, it is -consolatory to Observe, that the barbarian Icho has been the cause of it • has failed in obtainii;g his object : the Russian Army is still unbroken, and receiving continual reinforcements ; the Government is firm, and the people arc patriotic. We are told in the . Bulletin, that " the soldiers have found; and con tinue to find, a number of pelisses furs for the winter." This 'shows that no expectation is entertained of terminating the war by intin4dat ing the Emperor ALEXA N DER into humiliating concessions ; and with tiaese proofs before is, We cannot despair of the ultimate issue of- the con test : a winter campaign in Russia will effectually render abortive the projects of BUONAPARTE. Dispatches were last night received by Govern ment from the Marquis of WELLINGTON, of the *ubstauce of which the follovi - ing - Bulletin was issued :;-- BULLETIN. WAR DEV,tTME;;T. Downing-ttrect, Oct. 12, 1812. It appears by a pispatch received this morning from the Marquis 'of Wra.L.INcTo:T, dated Villa Toro, 27th ult. that on the 22c1 his Lordship di rected an attempt to be made to storm, the exterior line of the enemy's Works at Burgos. The de tachment; of the PartUguese troops who attacked on the flank were so strongly opposed, that they could not make any progress and the -attack in front by the British was not persevered in.

On the part of the Spani irds, MINA is in Arra gon with 800 infantry and 700 horse; PASTOR and DESPELO9' in Biscay with 1,500 men, besides Ge kierall'ffitiotzAßst.'s forces. la ilioja is DurAN wit 4060 • f • inantry and 200 horse, and ARWOR with 500 horse.

SOLTLT prepared on the -15th to 'marat. from Grenada, bye the road of Baza and BALLESTEROS was within three leagues of Granada. Accortlina- to tht Mancha Gazette, in Arragon there 'are 4,500 French infantry and a few horse ; in Navarre 3000, in 13iscay 4000, including tht.garrisons of. S. Silasle, and Fuente naba ; in Rioja and Lozrono 6000. The head-quarters of the 2d and 3d army began its march for Penas de S. Pedro, and arrived at S. Clementi en the 10th September, at nine in the morning, after a march of four days. On the 9th, Geperat Er-to took the command.; and on the lith of September was to march from Behnonte. In the mean time, General VILLAcmurA, not content with the fresh proofs he had given of his accredited valour, annoyed the enemy by all pos sible means, one of which was, the introduCing, in certain places, our public Papers, for the pur pose of informing the French of their fatal situa tion, that they might be the more inclined to de sert, which, on thii occasion, they have not failed to- practise. LISBON, JULY 24.—8 y the Madrid Gazette we see that the Army of Murcia, commanded now by Gen. Elio, has advanced upon their left more than 30 leagues, and that at present it is in the Province of, Cuenca, so that the French in Valencia and Murcia are threatened. on their front by the expe dition from Alicant, and on their right flank by General ELlo's army, joined by VILLACAMPA'S di vision and tl)at of the Empecinado. In the same Gazette is General• VILLACAMPA'S account of the action he had with the French he took VZO prisoners and 176 wounded, with two pieces of artillery, seven ammunition waggons, &c, beside' leaving the field covered with corpses. The Gazette of Saturday contains Captain DA CRZS' account of the loss of the Guerriere. It will be seen that all that British valour could do was done, and that the loss of the ship is solely to be attributed to unfortunate and accidental cir cumstances, added to the great superiority of the enemy.

FlRE.—Last night, between five and six o'clock, '1 a fire broke out at Wilkinson and Co.'s Upright Piano Forte Manufactory, situated between Swat lowstreet and Ilarewood-place, on the South side of Oxford-street. A large quantity of tim ber on the premises occasioned a most luminous appearance, and the flames spread , with great ra pidity. .The conflagration was seen at Highgate and Hampstead. At about seven o'clock the roof fell in, and at that time the stables near the spot. were considered in great danger, By the exer tions of the grooms and others, several valuable horse.; were taken out and removed to a place of security. Lord llarewood's house was. also threa tened by the devouring element., The firemen, with their usual activity, threw a great body of water on the back part of the premises, and by nine o'clock the fire was got under., The manly factory is down, and the houses on CLiell side xreatly damaged.
