FRENCH TWENTY THIRD BULLETIN.
DISTURBANCES AT PARIS.—ARREST OF Turin
GEN ERALS.
WI-ilst every mind was expecting the twenty third hul- h
letn, wilt the greatest anxiety, to ascertain whether the
121.(,nc0 had reAly quitted Moscrw, as the Riga accounts
br light with Lord IIICA wr'slast disritches stated, French
pavers to the 29th ult. an ived late yesterday, fraught with
even more important intelligence from Paris than from the
seat of war. Whilst NAPOLEON, still at Moscow, on the
9th ult. tic date of the 23d Bulletin, arms the kremlin
with thirty pieces of cannon, and stops its entrances with
chevaux de-flize, in otdcr to protect- the magazines which
he i.,:jorinwr in it, (where are tho.c which he pretended to
bye folpd 2) or rather his person, against the attempts of
the ink bitrnts, or the sudden incursions of the Co-sacks,
his own capital has been thrown into disorder, by three Ex-
Ceuera s, who u having deceived some National Guards,
dirteted them against the Ceneral Member of Police, the
Prerect, and the Commandant of the Place of Paris, and
committed violences upon them, falsely spreading the
report (,f the Emperor's death." Such is the account issued
by the Minister of Police, who adds, that the culprits have
been convicted of imposition; that justice is going to be
executed upon them, and that the most absolute tranquillity

is restored.
The last assertion would be sufficient to make us doubt
the fact, did not the attemit, which if it was intended to
over-threw the Government of NAPOT.F.ON, during his ab-
ter..-e, has been executod in the mo-t absurd and inefficient
Ptduce a suspicion that it was undertaken at his
own et• ret in Aigation, in order to supply him with a pre
tence, "t•ong a:•el lau,..ible enough, to justify in the eyes
of leis A, my, his abandonment of them, and return to Paris
to h• winter, in case his fear should not allow him to
st:e dit t Moscow. The three Ex-Generals, by whom the
tediti n was headed, are, we have learnt, well known as,
stc.unin Republican', and as the Parisians dread nothing
more than a repetition of the horrors of the Revolution,
were not likely to meet with much support from the people. ,
This is the reason perhaps why they were selected.
By the contents of the Bulletin itself, it appears that the
activity of the Cossacks begins to mcornne,de the enemy se-
riously, they lay ambnscades in .which several French ad-
vanced parties have fallen, and although they arc said to
b ye cut thf:ir way back, it is acknowledged not to have been
Ivitnout less. The French advanced-guard, under AIuRAT,
on the I\aia, sixty miles from Moscow, and had fought
several skirmishes on the 7th', Bth, and 9th ult. with part of
the Lti;siari army posted at Ka:Q.3ga, in which the French,
as tibial, claim the advaoatze. It appears that ToaitAsow's
armv has not occupied Sinolencko, as otherwise it would
have been imiros:Able for the twenty-third Bulletin to reach
Polt,nd.
The junction of SAULT and Suctirr is mentioned in an
article Irvin and it is -stated 'that they will immedi-
ac. on the offensive.
