As the following, Bulletin of the Dispatches yesterday received from Lord CATHCART only appeared in a part of our impression of yesterday, we again insert it • OFFICIAL BULLETIN. A Dispatch has been received from Lord CATS CART, dated Petersburgh,- - Ist November. He incloses the Bulletin of the actions- of the 18th October, which are under translation ; also re ; ports from General STEIN HILL and , Count WITT.. GENSTEIN The former, in Lis pursuit of the enemy; bad Taken 40 waggons, 22 standards of the Bavarian regiments, 800 ducats of the military chest, 7 of ficers, the Commissary General with all his em ploys, and made 100 prisoners, on the 25th Oc tober ; and, on the 26th, he took from the elle= my 7 pieces of artillery, and made 7 officers and 150 prisoners,—besides those taken in various rencontres of the rear-guard, wherein the enemy bad much suffered. COunt WITTGENSTEIY reports, that by the ope- ratiOn of General - Slm:lmi., the Bavarian corps was separated from that of Sr.' CYR. He himself in the pUrsuit had taken 800, prisoners, and 10 tumbrils-; he found 300 horses killed on the road, and some limbers ; the cannon belonging to which, he supposes, were buried in tie marshes. The 'enemy had retired to Lepeile. He adds, that St. CI R'S corps is so weakened, that it is imnossilde for him to attack again till be is cousiderabjy reinforced. General STr_.:s-itm, dates from Koubliche, on the, 26th October, and Count WITTGENSTEIN, on the,same day, from Ontchatehi. Lord' . CATE - cr states, that nothing of nlo- Tnent had been reported from the Grand Army. The French were hi the utmost want of .provi sions and forage, and the Russians were greatly superior in the riamber and vigour - of their cavalry. The French left seveiai thousands sick in Mos- cow, in the most miserable state. With respect to the report from Riga of the 7th, that a great battle had ISeen foUght between the Grand Armies in the neighbourhood of Smo lenslio, in which 15,000 Frenchmen laid, down their anus, we confess that we entertain consider,- able doubts. It is quite impossible that BUONA PARTE with -his army could have reached the neighbourhood. of Smolensko ; his - march, even if nnimpeded by an enemy, must from, the wretched state of the Russian roads in winter, be extremely slow; but exposed, as he necessarily would be;to the daily attacks of an active • and persevering enemy, the difficulties'that Would oppose his pro gress, we should trust, would be found to be in surmountable., The number of the Russian sick and wounded, taken at Moscow, are said to have ainounted to about 15,000, and hence may have arisen the report from Riga to which we have alluded. It is, however, to he recollected, that General KuKusow, according to the last accounts which we received, had sent fif te:m regiments, of Cossacks towards Smolensko, and, BUONAPARTE informed us that, for Rome days before he lcf. Moscow, he .had sent off considerable numbers of his sick and wound ed in the - same direction ; it is therefOre very likely that they may have fallen into the hands of the-Cossacks, and this may have giVen rise to the renort in question. We cannot help repeating, that it is most singular that we should' know no-. thing of BU9NAPAR7M .and hi 4 army since be left Moscow. That ,his object was then to fall upon KOTUSOW" there cal - be little doubt ; but it is most probable that - :the. defeat .of Yll.l RAT on one side, and' of ST. CYP. on the other, • indUced him to abandon his intention, and to endeavour to. make the best of hi; „Way to wards the Polish frontiers. All the accounts concur in stating, that. the French cavalry is almost an nihilated—even the French Bulletin admits that they are in a bad state, while, on the other hand, the Russian cavalry are not only in excellent con dition, but haVe received very large reinforce- talents. No less thaU 24 regiments of Cossacks' have joined Gen. , KuTusoi,v before the 12th ult. The question respecting the Roman Catholics freents to have deprived the Opposition of all corn= maid of temper. - Who would_conccive that reli-! gloms animosity should have so powerful in. fluence upon politicians in these times, and parti cularly upon those politicians who affect to be patriots ? Because the Ufiiversity 'of Oxford lately sheaved, as became it, a fit-in deter mination to support the Establishment in Church and State, it has been assailed, in the chief Opposition Piper'," with the most violent abuse, and because Cambridge University ,has followed the example of its Looped Sister, and decided for a petition to Parliament against the removal of those defences of our national faith, and our ex cellent'Constitution, framed by our wise ancestors, and which they gloriously shed their blood to . support, the same Paper has this day poured out ailood_of bile against that University also. Aceord 7 ing to the Paper alluded to " the Resident Old Fel lows, Young Tutors, and Heads of Houses" are " dregs"—" a mere Caput MortUum" and all wis dom, virtue, and learning, are 'to be found in the Non-residents. How differently would have been thedescription of the latter, had they taken the opposite side of the question !—But. these. Resi dents are accused of an attempt " to smuggle an AildresS hostile to, Religious LibertY.". And what is the proof % Why, that last year they gave only a day's notice of the intended'illeeting, and , that this year they Katie three days notice.— Sure if the; Non-Residents had all the zeal for religious liberty so fondly ascribed to them, they had full time given to them to has ten to Cambridge, in order to spew how Much more enlightened they are than our an cestors, who did all they could to guard against the return of a Popish ascendancy, and to prop the glorious cause of innovation. We are not disposed to imitate the Paper alluded to by abusing the Non-Residents for supineness in omitting to suppo'rt a cause which it is pretended that they approves On the contrary, we are ra ther inclined to conceive that they reposed entire confidence in the attachment of th,? Universities to our essential interests in Church and State, and therefoie did not think it necessary to be present on the occasion. Yet we think a little more zeal in support of an Establishment which renders us the mmt secure and the happiest people on the face of the globe, might not only have exempted them from the disgrace of a party panegyric, but have tended highly to their honour as friends of their country. Wrspsoß, Nov. 19.—The weather has been so very bad. all the week, that there have been no movements of the ROYAL FAMILY, except the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES visiting the QUEEN and PRINCESSES daily, at the Castle. This morn ing the weather proving tine,Prineesses AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, took an airing on horseback, accompanied by the Eishdp of SALISBURY, Lady ROSSLYN, General SPENCER, Colonels TAYLOR and DEsnaow. The QUEEN, and Princesses MARY and ELIZABETH, went to Frogznore. Preparations are beginning to he - made for the return of the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES to Warwick House.

Lord CASTLEREAGFI iS so much abusedthat, in dependently of all other pleas in his favOur, he must, upon SWIFT'S principles, be a man of no ordinary talents. " You May know," said the shrewd Dean of St. Patrick's, " a clever . fellow by the knaves and fools who revile him." A long defamatory letter appears against this Nobleman in a Morning Paper of to-day; but the Author conceals his name, and pays for his malice. I We understand that Major-General BROWNS, from the Sussex District, is to succeed the late Lieutenant-Governor of Plymouth, and' Comman der of the Western District; and not Lieut,-Gen. H. WYNYARD, as was stated and intended in the first instance.

A CARD FROM CORNHILL.--It is with a great degree of satisfaction EYTON introduces to, the notice of his friends the Scheme of the present Lottery, so arranged as to be drawn ;Without elasies, by which means every number decides its own fate, and no other. • The Capital Prizes con sist of two Twenty Thousands, two Ten Thou sands, with various other Capitals, making Thirty six great Prizes. The advantages which con stantly result to numberless individuals from a trifle expended in a Lottery Share at Eyton's offices need not be pointed out ; there are but few per sons who have not such instances amongst their own acquaintances. No: -2, Cornbill, and 18, Coventry-street, are Eyton's fortunate Offices The new regulation of the Committee of Drury lane Theatre, by which dramatic Authors, whose pieces were successful, but are not now -among the number of acting plays, are deprived of the free dom of admission, has caused much discontent.— As there are not many Authors` in this predica ment, and as some of their productions may be represented again, this exclusion does not seem very consistent with liberality or policy, for men of talents may be " discouraged from writing for the stage, lest they may be favoured with the freedom one season, and deprived of it the next, if from spleen, resentment, or caprice their pieces should be assigned to the shelf. MUNDEN is upon a provincial tour in the way of his profession. He is engaged for a few nights at Hull, where he is now performing. KEMBLE is engaged to perform for a few nights at Bath, before-his return to Edinburgh.
