The unparallcded SuccesSwhich has attended the publica-
tion of Eight Volumes of the above-mentioned Work, and the.
rapid- Sale.amany Thousand Copies of successive large Edi.:
tions, must render unnecessary any further Explanation of
its approved and highly uselial Plan. - - -
Time has, however, conferred a Feature on this Publica-
tion, which it could not originally possess, and the unsparing'
Scythe of ljeath has' converted the early Volumes, with-some
tew exceptions, into a Necrology or 1-tbittiarY or d'epar'ted'
Excellittice.
._ In this point of .vieW_ it exhibits.new claims to
gerteral interest; and as every successive Edition, has been
carefully revised and improved, the Work rosy be received as
a f-tithful:ltiot;r_ipliical History of the piestnt Times,
The.,Editur shall repeat,- that since,the commencement of
the Work, is gratifying a laudable curiosity relative to Pub-.
'lie Cineriziers, lie has in no instance; satisfied the wishes of

The last news from London of which we see riei

mind. Although it be difficult to judge poSitively.
Of:private opinions froth 'serails of speeches deli

which have, reached us, that a formtdable opposition
is forming against the Ministry, and that even diS=
cord and resentment are brooding among its Mem.; "
hers. In ,answering Mr. CANNING's speech, Lord
HowxcK appears to be less solicitous to 'repel the"
charges advanced against the -Ministry; thati to
testify his respea for the memory and .systeai
of his worthy friend Mr. Fox. ThiS marinei-
of defending. Government is at least equivocal.'
Be it asit may, :the situation of Ministers has never-
been more difficult.? They wish it to be believed that.

taken its baggage and artillery, and a great Initlibei
of prisoners.

" Notwithstanding the advanced season, and the
bad state of theyoads, the -French army were burn-
ing-with the desire to pursue the 'Russians, who
were flying- through, woods. and. morasses.. But it
appears that his Majesty thinks...of restraining them
in spite of themselves; for is confidently asserted
that the Emperor, as .father of his soldiers,' has
issued orders to put his.troops into winter quartets.
NAPOLEON could onli- be stopped in his triutnphal.
career by his own moderation,- arid itietdesire ;of
taking care of his troops. How much must this
humanity make us chetisly'a hero greatly so grrat
'.by his -vit-tories.! We are. assured (and experienct
-.has taught es to rely. on she ;intelligence sent us -by
our Correspondent) that after having regulated every
thing concerning she cantonment of the army, the
Emperor will return to his Capital, in order to
su-
-perintend.the Administration of his Empire, whilst
his, soldiers will prepare for triOrevi&ories by an ho-
nourable repose. As-these arrangements will require
but little time, we flatter ourselves with shortly see-
ing his Majesty at Paris."--(Gazette de France.)
JANUARY 1.7.—" The Forty-seventh Bulletin of

" A general battle was 6' liave .9611-i-fought be-
tween the Bug and the Narew ; the. Emperor paved
the way to it by forced marches in a difficult coun-
try'; the Russian Generals celebrated the' e)Teelation.
of it h ridiculousfites; and the next day, deemed
themselves very happy to celebrate „their • flight.
