FRENCH ACCOUNT OF THE EVACUATION OF MOSCOW.
..Letters from the coast of France to the 10th, nnd from
Paris to the 7th inst. have brought us the French account uf
the evacuation of Moscow. and the pretended rea,ons given
'for so unexpected an occnrrence. They state, that intelli-
gence'had been received from that city to the 21st ult.
three days after the defeat of URAT, of which no notice is
taken, and that the remaining edifices being fiund
to accommodate the soldiers, BUONAPARTE 11„d re-
solved to.move his army to Kalouga, for the establishment of
their winter quarters. -
We are yet ignorant whether this information has been
forwarded to Paris in the shape of a Bulletin, or of private
letters, but suspect the latter, as we conceive it impossible
even for the audacity of the French Emperor to pin such
a statement, after the repeated assurances• be has hitherto•
given his people, in all his official reports, of his having
found and collected abundant resources at Moscow—having
saved a part of that city as large as Brussels, and consequent-
ly sufficient to harbour his soldiers, who, besides, had erected
barracks, armed the Kremlin, constructed ovens and hake-
houses, and formed magazines, which would enable them to
occupy this important military post through the approach-
ing winter! To all these assertions he must now. give the
lie, and own that he represented things in a better state than
they were; or he must acknowledge that all his exertions to
maintain himself at Moscow have been in vain. But will
his subjects, and the whole people of the Continent, think
that the reasons now urged' have alone compelled him to
abandon his prey ?—No; they will suppose and guess the
truth ; and however he may disguise it in his Bulletins,
they
will firmly believe that he has been driven from the Krem-
lin by main force, and not by any consideration of tender-
nest towards his soldiers. They will listen to every rumour
of his defeat with implicit cisufidenee, and whilst the terrors
.of his fame will vanish, the. consciousiless. of their own de-
gradation,- with the' longing* for independence implanted by
nature in the heart of man, will revive, and will lead perhaps
to coLvulsions more momentous in their extent, and more
.
succes,ful in. their results, than the last..which a feeling of
that nature has already produced Paris. •
