SOLEM QUIS DICCAE FALST:3I ;1111.YEAT LONbON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, !Sl2• ,We this day present to our readers,the French Eighteenth Bulletin, recording one of the most sanguinary conflicts of modern times. There ap pears to be no doubt, that the,French gained the victory, but at.a cost that renders the actual ad vantage to them very trifling. It is evident that the Russians contested he day with It bravery , deserving of a. better fate, and that the French only succeeded after a haril-fOught arid desperately contested battle; it is also clear, that hOwever the day was against them, the Russian aptly made a good retreat from the field bf . battle Not one word is said in the Bulletin of pursuit,-nor of hay ing broken or separated the force of their op,po nents. Indeed, when the French acknowledge a loss'of 10,000 menl it may' fairly be. concluded that their actual loss (which may, jucigin!., - from their usual 'habits, be estimated — at th:ice that amount) must have so far crippled them, as to prevent them from tenoning up their success With much celerity. With equallairtess it maybe - in'- ferred, 'that the loss ascribed to the Russians,. namely; from 40 to 50,000 men, is grossly exag gerated, nor does the Bulletin sbevf in what Way, scch a loss could. have been incm•red, as the lit most amount of prisoners stated is 5,000,.and the los's-besides' is previously estimated 'at from 12 to' 13,000 men. The amount of these two numbers gives a. loss inferior to that of the French (esti mating it from their Own underrated statement), audit will 'be seen that the Bulletin says, "had the enemy, Nl-hen - driven from his intrenchments, not endeavoured to retake them, our losS would have beenmuch greater than his." This confession affords a clear proof of the nature'of the action, and shets- that the number of the French who have fallen, in the combat is greater than it was thought prudent to acknowledge. There is nee doubt, from the account of the French themselves, that they were unable.to turn the Russian posi- .011 S BuoNAPA.RT.E was compelled to attack their intrenchments, and, with' his usual humanity, cared not bow many of his soldiers were 'sacri ficed, if the point he aimed at could but be car- lied. The entrenchments carried, he had another fierce contest to maintain in ,order to keep posses sion of them; in which object there is no doubt he was ultimately successful ; but he was utterly unable to pursue the retreating army. The Bulletin says, "the enemy sought for retreat and safety;" and those objects the Russians certainly obtained.. As we have already observed, BUONAPARTE does not venture to say one word in his bulletin of pur suing the flying enemy—of. breaking their columns, .or cutting off any of their divisions. The I"zns signs retreated with their army unbroken, and not tliminished in any greater proportion than that of the French. UndOubtedly the Russians were defeated in the Battle of Moskwa; but we see no cause to despair. Let but the .spirit of patriotism continue to ani7 mate them, and firmness to characterise their Em peror, and defeat may yet, ere long, be changed into victory. The French may get to Moscow; altholgtr, we believe, there is another very strong position to contend for.before they can reach that ancient capital, but still' their victories, dearly, bought like that of Moskwa, must, if theltuSsians remain firm, terminate in . ,ultimate defeat. it, would be idle to indulge sanguine hopes, in the teeth of accumulated .disasters, but _here we see no ground whatevtn - for giv ing up our expectations of final *SUccess on the part of the RuisianS, if they and their Go- , but vernment are true . to. thernselves. Such vic tories as that of Moskva must' he ruinous to the French, unless BIiONAPAItTE can intimidate; or cajole the Emperor ALEZ&NDER Sltddellly into a peace. Judging from the spirit and the fit mness hitherto displafed by the lattr, tine are justified in negativing such a supposition.' Let him, with a cool determination, organize the energies of his empire, and the contest is only yet begun.— . Sanguinary maybe the conDieis, and dreadful ra l ly be the slaughter ; but the French must ulthnately retreat, unable ,to keep the field from the, mere effect of their own victories gained like that of Moskwa, from the diminution of their force by losses which they will be unable to replace. They may enter Moscow, but if the Russians remain firm, the possession of Motcow will have as little effect in terminating the. conquest of the Russian Empire as the occupation of Madrid had in furthering their projects in the Peninsula. It is rumoured that the French entered Moscow on the 14th ult. but we cannot learn that. this NAVAL NII,,IVS. PLYMouTir, OCT.

Moskwa, the left upon the height - on • the left lia.nk of, the Kologha. At 1200 toises its ad" vance of the lett, the enemy had begun to fortify a fine height, 'betiveen two 'woods, where . they had placed 9 or 10,000 men. The-Emperorchav ing reconnoitred it, - resolved not to lose a mo ment, and to carry this poSition. :Orders evert given to the King of Naples to pass the Koltigfia, with the division Compans and the cavali , v.- PrinCe Poniatowsky, who had marched on the fight, was in a condition to turn the position. -At four o'clock the' attack commeirced. In one hour the enemy's redoubt was carried, with the• Cannon, the en- ITV's corps driyen frdm the wood, and put to flight, leaving the :third part ou the field of battle. At seven in the eVening the firing,ceased. On the 6th, at two .O'clock- in the mOrnitv, the Emperor surveyed the enemy's advanced posts: the day was passed in reconnoitring. . Tlie enemy were in a position much contracted. Their left was weakened by the loss of the position on the clay before : backed 14 -a large .wocid,..::mipported by a - fine height, crownefl by a redoubt, planted with ,25 pieces of carillon. Two other heights, crowned with redoubts . at 100 paces 'from..-each other, protected their line, as far as a large Vi llage which the enemy had destroyed; to cover the ridge with artillery and infantry, and to support the centre. Their right extended behihd the Ko loglia, in the rear of the village of'Borodino, and was. supported by two fine heights, crowned with redoubsts, and fortified with batteries. This-c►o- sition appeared strong and favourable. it was easy to mananivre, and to oblige the enemy to evaenatc it, bat that would have been renounc ing our r object, and the position was' not judged safficiently strong to render it necessary to avoid fighting. It was easy to perceive that the re doubts were but half formed, the fosses shailow, and neither palisaded nor defended with chevaux de-frise. We'reckoned tile enemy's' ftiree at ab&t la/ or 130,090 men Our forces -were but the superiority of our troops was 'lot d.;“1,4..ct On the 7th, at two iu the rnornin;,;, the Bm peror was surrounded by. the Marshals in the po sition taken the evening before. - At • half-p9st five o'clocki the sun rose without clouds ; it lisa rained the preceding evening. This is`the slat of Austerlitz,". said the Emperor. ThOugh the month of September, it was as cold as a De ceinber in Moravia. The army received the oilmen: the dzAm beat, and the following order Of the chmf was read :--- Soliiier3, behold the field of. battle yon have so much desired ! henceforth victory depcnds . 0 0 yoti : it is necessary to us ; it will give us plenty, good quarters for the winter, and a speedy.return to your country.

The army answered with reiterated acclamations. The'grouna on which the army stood was spread with the dead bodies of the Russians killed the pre' ceding 4ay. Prince Poniatowsky, who was on the right, pit himself in motion to turn the forest, on which the enemy rested.his left. The Prince of EClimuhl marched owthe skirt 'of the 'forest, the di% iSkO ll Compans at the head. Two batteries of 60 can nons each, commanding the . eneiny's position, had, ,been constructed in the night.
