In the extracts which .Ave have have this day Made from the .French Papers will be found the official details of the trial and murder of se veral Russians, at Moscow, by BUONAPARTE'S command. Not content with the slaughter and devastation Nihich marked his steps, in his progress through the Russian Empive, he has presumed to try, and. to execute Rtissian subjects, for the crime of defending their °Wu country Upon this principle, every man who ranges him self under the banners of his legitimate Sovereign, and fights for his native land, 'against this univer sal spoiler, is guilty of a capital crime, accord ing to-the enactments of the Code Napoleon. We are not able to collect any further informa-. tion respecting the late insurrection at Paris from these Papers, 'but some private letters say, that General SAVARY, one of the most ferocious of all BUONAPART'S agents, was shot during Cie con flict. It is added, that REGNAULT DE ST• JEAN D'ANGELY, has been appointed to succeed him. This morning a Gottenburgh Mail arrived, from which the following are extracts : Go TTEN BUR Gn, Nov. 4.—Different •accounts received from Carlsham, Riga, and the Prussian Ports, agree in stating that the French who ad 7 vauced towards Kalouga had retreated : some even go so far as to affirm that the whole French army is in retreat in four columns. TWER, SEPT. 20.—Every emigrant from Mos cow confirms the relation given by •the otherS, who, after that capital was taken by the enemy, fled from it, viz.—that the French incessantly con tinue to plunder the city, and that their rage ex ceeds all conception. Those Barbarians, who sur pass even the Tartars in cruelty and savageness, who once destroyed cur' country, have not re spected at Moskow even the sanctity of the churches. Several churches in that city have been plundered, destroyed, and set on fire, and others turned into stables.—(Petersburgh Gazette, Oct. 13, 1812.) Po'cow, SEPT. IS' (30).--Yesterday arril . ed -in our city fresh bodies of tSe, new-raised ' Peters burgh levies. After having rested themselves here, they proceeded yesterday to their destina . tfion.—(9,:zine Paper) • . KOSTRON:"„ Auo. 28, (SEPT. 9.)—Yesterday\the new first regiment raised here, marched out of • this city.—(Same Paper) , ...i.ZOVOGOROD, SEPT. 24 (4th OcT.)—On his Im perial Majesty's coronation-day, viz. 15th (27th) September, the first. brigade of Novogorod war riors, consisting of -2400 men, under cotnmand , of Colonel CountCroLocoitrg, =relied out of this city, and soon afterward'..: the 2d brigade, of equal force, followed them, under the command of Co hinel Poor,oßow.—(Sciine Paper.) RstrEw, SEPT, IS (30).-- 7 The places in this v - cinity are, at present more quiet than herctotc- e. The inhabitants have returned in small parties in the adjoining Sytchew circle: We are informed that the enemy still continues to' make inroads; and the land commissioner there has daily enough Of to. do .with the ene . numbers of whom he has sent into the otli . ', . 'world, arid almost every day takes from 20 to 100 men, whoin he sends off to &chow. If he continues in so doing, be will soon clear, not only his own,, but likewise the neighbouring circles, entirely of the enemy.— (Petersburgh Gazette,.a.ct..l-5.) With respeqt to the enemy still cbutinues the same. The Frcueli are from 45 t 0.60 .WerSts from as, and make no inroaas into our circle. Ti.e Conarnissai•Y is the town of Sylehewkd, Who is daily citeliiiig the French marauders, sends them away thiOngli our town in parties of 23, 50, and 100 men. As *C are informed, he and his' : armed peasantry cut down the greater part of :the cue- Myaon the spot; and took a smallpartof them prisoners, and these be sent off. All the inhabitants of this town. have received orders to arm themselves with muskets or pikes, lOrepel the - inroads of the enemy, and preserve ourselves from being plundered by them, as thy •do in the adjoining towns and villages, but such misfortunes have not, as yet, occurred in the circle of,Sudzow.---,(Same Paper) . , SLANZA, SEPT, 19, (OCT. I.—We had,been in formed here, by a report, of French/marauders having, on die 10th (22d) inst: appeared in Wolokoleinsk. In , order to obtain more certainty of the matter one of our inhabitants went, on the 14th- (26th) ult. to the village of Lataschino„ on the borders of our Circle, ,where he learnt 'from the steward of the Circle that only a'.small de tachment of French had reached Woloklaemsk, awl had departed from thence towards Pnisa; but on the 12th (26th) two of our regiments arrived fur the defence of these points, and' we are in consequence perfectly quiet on that : side.—On the otker side we arc well guarded by. the Com missary of Sytscbe(vke and his lev'y, who keep all Sudzow and their own circle quiet. In one single week upwards of 500 French prlsontrsi taken by. him, Were sent into this town. • Almost all the inhabitants of this town have continued in their habitations, and such as had left, being by these means tranquilized, ;are re turning back to their homes with many loaded waggons.' Rshcw and Sudzow are now safe places of retreatfor numbers of iat:abitants of the.neigh bouring towns' in the Governments of Smolensk and Moskwa, \ daily who arrive here with num bers of waggons. A report is spread here, that the enemy pursues his whole route In the direction of Resan ; but this we cannot affirm with certainty, as those who were sent for the purpose of procuring intelli gence from hence, and from Twer towards Moskwa do not proceed further than Klen. The levy of Twer is posted near Klin, and for which supplies of biscuit have been forwarded from the neighbouring circles. But at present, part of this biscuit is deposited in the magazines at this place.—(Patersburgh Gazette, Oct: 16.) PETERSBURGH, OCT. I7.—The Imperial Court of Russia have appointed the following persons to diplomatic offices at foreign Courts : Lientenaut-Gen. and Adjutant-General Count LunviN, as Envoy' Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Great Britain. The Privy Counsellor and Lord Chamberlain TALESCHTSCHEW, in quality of Envoy Extraor dinary and Plenipotentiary to his Catholic Ma jesty FERDINAND VII. King of Spain. The Privy Counsellor and Lord Chamberlain Baron STROGONOW, in the same quality,, to his Majesty the King of SWEDEN.• The Lord Chamberlain, Prince KOSLOWF,KY, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary to his Majesty the King of Sardinia, and the actual Counsellor of State, Count MoNczNEso, in the same quality to his Majesty the King of Si cily.—(Stockholni Post, Oct. 28.) • , Private Letters Irom Gottenhurgb, brought by the Lord Drvican, which has arrived at Harwich, state that General WITTGENSTEIN had succeeded in cutting of the communication between the French Army and the Polish frontiers.' Another reoort to which, however, we attach no credit, states that BUONA:7,I7ITr, was advancing towards r Petersburgh. . Yesterday Lord .CA.STLF.REAGH and Earl Itioxita has•audicnccs of the .Plu ItEc:ENT. • Yesterday, at half-pastfour o'clock, the PRINCE REGF!,NT left Carlton - House, to pass a few days at. Houghton, Suffolk, the seat of the Earl of CHOL MONDELEY. Earl MomA has lvid frequent interviews with the Duke of YORK lately. The 'Earl of ihnrto',vnv came to town, yester day, to'be present at the first meeting of the Ca binet Ministers at the Earl of LIVERPOOL'S house, previous to the Meeting of Parliament. Yesterday the Duke ,of YORE: came to town from Windsor; and held, a Military Levee,'at hi 3 Office in the . Horse Guards, which was attended by the Earl of BANBURY, and a number of Mili tary Officers. k? THE THEITRE.----Mr. BETTY last night per formed the part of The Earl of Essex, in the tr.!- gaily of that name.--- , There WaS nothing of striking merit or defect. His deportment was easy and appropriate. The variety of • emotions of which the part' is composed rendered the inflexibility of his voice 'rather more observable. We were sorry to find that he was assailed in parts by illiberal opposition, and even a pugilistic contest arose in the Pit on the . subject. As his acting was at least respectable, - this opposition must be considered as splenetic. 4111. • • 1 V 11 PLYmciii.rit, Nov. 9.. -Arrived the American ships Norfolk Packet, BARNARD, and .

At the time the Pyramus sailed, a report prevailed at Gotten burgh that the rrench were retreating in four di rections. HARWICH, Nov. 10.—Arrived the Lord Duncan -packet, ILMILTON, with mails and passengers . from Gottenbugh. The homeward-bound Baltic convoy is vvithin'a day's sail of the land.

Admiral CROWN'S flag was flying on 'board- the North Ea le; he has the command of seven sail of the line that had been cruizing in the Baltic. . Letters from .lava mention, that notwithstand ing the cession of all the teak timberon the island to the captors, the prize-money realized - up to the beginning of April is said to fall short of the expectations at first entertained. A Subaltern's share was estimated at 22.01.• sterling, a Captain's at 4801. and a rield Officer's at .2,4001. - Mr. KEN:IP-DX, late Naval Officer and Agent Victualler at Lisbon, is appointed by Lord MEL VILLF. to the situation of Naval Store-keeper at Milford. It is again reported, that FREDERICK WILLIAM . .1 has terminated his reign by abdication in favour Of BuoNAPARTE, and that Prussia-is to become inimediately what is termed an integral part of the French Empire. Tbe letters received yesterday morning from the French coast mention, that a squauron of French men of war, cansisting of threes or four ships of the .line, with several frigates and cur vettes, are preparing for a start from the ports in the Bay, the whole of which have been taken into dock for a tide or tWo, tocle:zn their copper, their object being to render them as efficient is - H point of sailing as possible. The Right lion, CHARLES Lci,Nu., Joint Pay master-General of the Forces, has appointed - ICIZARn NtIAVE, Esq. to be his Deputy. His Serene Highness the:Duke of BituNswtc:: has obtained permission to enlist tt number of English boys, sufficient to be formed into a band of buglers and fifers for his corps.. The 2d Battalion of the 67th Regiment"( Gen. KEPPEL's) has been lately moved from Cadiz, and is now stationed at Carthagena. The 29th Regiment of Foot is one-of the regi ments to be immediately ordered to join 'Lord WELLINGTON. It has been lately completed by drafts from the Militia, and is a fine body of men. A letter from an Officer belonging to the 4th division of the Aridly in the Peninsula, dated the sth of October, mentions, that that division had marched to Pinti) and Valdemoro, on the Toledo road. In a postscript, dated . the 9th, he says, y The wet season has set in. It is probable we shall have a fight with SOULT." We •arc happy to find, that, at this seasonable time, a gun-brig, with a number of transports; Conveying arms and other necessaries for the use of the Russian army, had reached Cronstadt.--:-" : Commerce had assumed a more favourable ap pearance ;, sugars, coffee, and even twist for the internal manufactures, had risen in price, anclno apprehensions were entertained of the approach of the enemy to Petersburgh during the present year. Yesterday morning a respectable elderly-look ing Gentleman dropped down in Kennington-lane, and instantly expired. The deceased, who Las been known - for several years to pass nearly at the same period, was conveyed into the Lamb and Hare public-house, to be owned by his re , , lathes.

The cominision,, convoked by ()viler of its F i rc': side:lt, having assembled in the palace Dolgo rouky, the sitting was opened by the raiding 4, the indictment, and the documents criminating or exculpating . the arEused. . This reacting being finished, the President order ed the guard to brin - g in the accused, to the coin' bet of twenty-six, who were brought , in free auct without irons: ' 1 ..‘ - • . - . , lifter having informed them of the facts laid to their charge, having separately heard tlie tious and deposition:; of the witnesses, having the accused, Who were seized in . .he act of' setting fire to (lifferent . houses, • - and' . after having; set forth the different means employed 1)y t' e in- cendiaries, such as matches, squills, pho4loric • boxes, sulphur, and other combustible materials, found on the accused, or purposely placed in nu-. nitrous houses ; The Conirnisaion came to the conclusion, that for the last three months the Russian Govern . rnent, doubtless feeling the danger of the contest in which it was engaged, and the impossibi'. lity of preventing the French army from reach ing Moscow, ba,d resolied to employ in its defence the extraordinary means of the and destruction., reprobated by civilized nations that, ci - .th this view, it had received proposals from one Doctor Schmitt, an Englishman, (though calling him self a Qerinan), a mechanician and a chemist by profession, who, being incited to Russia, arrived in the beginning of 'last May ; that' attar nume rous secret conferences.with the principal authn- • rities, lie took up his.residence in the castle of 'Vo-. ronzow, situated - Six wersts from the city, on the • road of lialemga ; that a detachment of IGO in fantry and twelve. dragoons was - placed in time castle to cover - the mysterio!is operations of Schmitt, and to prevent the inquisitive from reach- . lug. isiui ; That it is.generally known, that he constitioe3 an aerostatic balloon of considerable size, which , it was pretended was.to contain an exterminating machine, which he asserted he could clirect . at ,Pleasure That about a fortnight before the entrance of the Preach army into,Moscow, seven large bar rels of gunpowder were sent to Voronzow, with artificers, who remained attached to Dr. Schmitt, and worked antler his direction ; That it is proved, that this apparatus frcon structing a large balloon, was only meant for the purpose of imposition, and that persons were 5 .0 1e4! employed 'at the castle of V(ironzow in Making • tire-works and other incendiary engines; That it appears that all the expenses. incurred in forming the balloon and engines were'supplied by the Russian government ; That Count Rastopchin, Military 'Governor of Moscow, assured, after the battle of Mojaisk, of the approaching arrival of the French army, then resolved on the plan bf burning this capital, by • all the means which were in his 'power.: That he issued a proclamation to the inha bitants, in which we remark the - foiloWing pas sage Arai yourselves ; it matters tibt . With what arms ; but - particularly pitchforks - , are s-o much the more suitable against the French, • because in weight they resemble trusses of straw. It we cannot vanquish them, we will Intl? :the:4 in Mpscciw, should they enter it." • ' That to attain his object with more certainty, the Governor Rastopchin, before his departure, caused to be opened the gates of the prisons, j. called the Ostrog and Yansm', where malefactors were con:ined : that about 8t)0 issued from them, . and that, as the price of their liberty, they were re quired to set tire to the city 24 hours after the ar- . rival of the French troops. That many officers and military men of the Rus • sian army, and agents of police, secretly received orders to remain disguised in INloscow, to direct the incendiaries and give the signal: or conflagration ; That it is notorious, that to take' away all the means of extinguishing the flames, the Governor ,Rastopchin, on the tuoreing of ,the 16th, caused to be carried off all the fire engines belonging to the twenty .quarters of the city, with the water carriages, buckets, &c. as well as the hoises des fined for that service ; ° That the inflammable materials of all kinds, and particularly the boxes full of phosphorus, wrapped in canvas dipped in sulphur, deposited .and placed in different house's, - evidently slicvir that the fire originated in a concerted plan That the matches and squibs seized in the handy, of many Russian soldiers and individuals at the moment of their - arrest, mark out unequivocally the true authors of the fire, of whom a great number taken in the fact were, from a spontane ous, movement of indignation, shot by the French' patroles, or knocked on the head by the iuhabi - . tants themselves;
