WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1,1, 181:2.

A. GOttenburgh •Mail arrived this morning.
BUONAPARTE is said to have declared, that the
campaign should be considered as .concluded on
the 10th, instant. A winter 'campaign in Russia,
may not -exactly suit the French army, ,or their
Leader; but it remains to be seen, whether the
Russians,, inured to their own climate, cannot
either compel their adversaries to fight for their
positions, or force them to retreat.• :The Papers
brought by the Mail contain a Variety of details,
relative to the Battle of BorOdino ; the Papers
published at Ilainbargh 'and 'elsewhere, under
yrench influence,. claiminn. a splendid victory for
the French, whilst the Swedish Papers state, that
the..victory Was decisive on.. the-part of the Ras-
:Sians; The'charaeter of this battle is now so well
mown to our. Readers, that these, opposite ac-"
counts become of little interest. It is only by
the comparison of later intelligence 'from the
itussian and French liead-quarters, when it
ar-
rives, that we shall be•enabled to ascertain what
movements actually took place subsequent to the
Battle of •Brircidino, and how it • happened that
the French were enabled to enter Moscow. The
foildwing aze extracts :

BERLIN, SEPT.- 7.---:-According to report his
Imperial Majesty the Emperor NAPOLEON has de-
clared, that the present campaign shall be con-
sidered as concluded the 10th October.

Ano, SEPT. 19.—The accounts received with
the last mail from Petersburgh, brin;. the joyful
account that on the ith September a grand battle
w,S fought on the other side of Smolensk, in
which the enemy suffered a total, defeat., and were
driven back with the loss of 40,000 men, a
number of Generals, four batteries, and se-
veral eagles, colours, and baggage, by the valiant
Russian tioops;•under command-of:the Field Mar-
shal Prinee KuTusow, and that they retreated in
the greatest disorder, Further particulars of this
great victory, for which a solemn re
.Deum was
chauntcd at Petersburgh; on Sept. 12, are shortly

expected.
SrocKnot.m, SEPT. 28.—According to the lates t
accounts from Petersburgh of the 18th ult. it is,
asserted for certain that Gen. PLArow, whilst in
pursuit of the enemy, cueto pieces .two whole re-
giments ; but otherwise there have no par-
ticular occurrences taken place since'tlie battle of
the 7th of September.

PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 15.---The 14th of the pre-
sent month 11,000 men belonging to the recruits
of the Government of Petersburgh marched from
the eapittd,,after having been reviei.ved by his Ma-
jesty the'. Emperor, and received the blessing of
._,the Archbishop. —These troops retain their na..,
tiolial dress. 'li:hey wear round hats, embellished
with a cross• and au For our reli-
gon- and native•country." They are •armed with
good muskets ancLhayOnets, and have battle axes
at their sides.

These .troops arc inspired with the most lively
c;:thusiaka, and. when :the Emperor arrived to
conduct. them to the city pites, he was received
and accoMpanied,with the most cheerful huzzas.
On'the lsth instant, 'several regular regiments
marched -from hence, Which, as well as the re-
cruits, arc intended to reinforce:the army at the
D w i na .

W'►'e are still without any official accounts *of the
opl:rations of the Grand Army. Private letters
state the Hiss of the. French at 20,000 men killed,
insides a very, considerable number in wounded
rand priSemers: The -enemy has likewise lost a
part of his artillery. The Russian loss in killed
amounts to 15,000 men.

GoTTENnBURG!I; OCT. 2.—Seven sail of Rus-

sian battle ships arrived hc,re a few days ago from
tochangel : they parted company with the eighth
!hip, which it is greatly feared has foundered.
They experienced dreadful weather. The -Admi-ral's ship lost all her top-masts ; Admiral CROWN,

Commander in Chief, Itear.Admiral KLOKAT•
CHOFF second, and Commodore SEot, third in
command; they intend proceeding to Peteriburgia
the first fair wind.,

The Mercurous sloop of war arrived yesterday
from the Nore, with a convoy of 47 sail.
Orders yesterday came here to take up 12,000
last (24,000 tons) of shipping to serve in this
expedition,

About ten days ago, 'orders were received by
the Government. from Stockholm to give notice to
Mr. YRoic (a Frenchman), • formerly a merchant,
to leave this city in three clays, and the country in
eight.
Mr. YRo left this last Saturday for Copenha-
gen, but a messenger who,•-arrived in the evening
with dispatches. to the Governor, .had also ,orders
for Mr. YaoN to be arrested, and if he had gone,
to be immediately sent after, which was done, and
• i
on Sunday he was taken at Helsingbourg, and his
papers sealed. He is now here;undergoing an in-
terrogation ; nothing, however, bas yet- trans-
pired, except that the reason of his being arrested
is for having held correspondence with ALQ.I3IER,
the French Ambassador at Copenhagen. ,

HAMBURGH SEPT 24.—The details of the me-
morable victory gained on the ith inst. by his Ma-
jesty the Emperor NAPOLEON, upon -the banks of
the Moscowa, the name of which it has taken,
were to-day, read upon the Exchange.

The enemy had a strong position; and it was ne,
cessary to manoeuvre to turn their redoubts, which
in front were difficult olaccess. .

But what cannot courage directed by' genius
accomplish ? After the most violent efforts the
enemy were driven from all their positions.
From that moment their loss was enormous ; GO
pieces of cannon remained in the power of the

Ai the departure of the courier -they were
following up their advantages. The battle of
Moscowa was fought two leagues from Mojaisk,
and 25 from Moscow.

BERLIN, SEPT. 9.—His Majesty the King re-
turned the day before yesterday from his journey
to Topelitz.
The artillery for the siege of Riga has arrived,
at its place of destination.

The Gazette of last night contains, as we anti-
cipated, the Order in Council for issuing letters
of marque and reprisals against the United States
of America. it will be seen that this step has
been resorted to in consequence of the American
Government persisting in continuing the war after
receiving an official notification of the revocation
of our Orders in. Council, and which being the
case, nothing remained of course to our own Go-
vernment but to meet the hostility of the former
by adequate vigour. We are still, however,
of opinion, that the war cannot last long :
a change is confidently anticipated in the
Government of .the United States, if
it takes place will, there is little doubt, lead to
the re-establishment of peace ; and we rejoice to
observe that powers are given to our Commander
on the American station to sign a pacific conven-
tion, if a favourable opportunity offns..

. .
The report yesterday of an armistice in Russian
originated in sa speculation on the arrival of Adm.
MARTIN from Riga. The rumour, is wholly un-
founded ; the return of that gallant officer having
no relation whateNier to any Tolitical occurrence,
it being the result 'of an'arrang,ement olservice,
in consequence of which he goes •to the Me-
diterranean.

We were much shocked on reading a.Letter in
the Morning Chronicle of yesterday, supposed to
havtrbeen writfen by. a gentleman at Highgate to
his friend. at 'York, in which the military opera,-.
tions and disasters which have befallen the.. Ru-
ssians were treated in a style M' ridicnie and
Mockery utterly inconsistent with every feeling of
humanity, and the respect due to a great :Nation
nobly struggling to defend itself against an atro-
cious invader, ;vho is the sole cause of. the con
fusion and misery which prevail over the, chief
part of the civilized world at this 'movie t. We'
are, the more surprised at seeing this unseasonable
and disgusting' attempt at pleasantry, in ayaper
which often mentions that flagitious disturber -of
mankind with the indignation and horrbr which
his conduct naturally excites, and which, though
in opposition, does not abet the cause of the dis=-
organizing followers of the Bunn F.= innovators,
but professes an attachment to thnlritish Con-
stitution, as the best possible system cif social order
and political security. - • .

Yesterday, at three o'clock, the
.1.3R1N.-CE RE-
GENT held a Privy Council, at Carlton 'House,
which was attended by Earl tdvEaroor, Viscounts
MELVILLE, SIDMOUTH, and CAS'yLEI;EAGII, the
KING'S ADVOCATE, Messrs. V.ANsiT'rAiii• and
CANNING. 'Mr. MILLER. attended as Clerli of the
Council. After the. Council hiA !oval Highness
gave audiences to Earl JAvERrop,L, ViSCOUnt CAS-
TLERPAGIT, and Mr. CII;.NNING.

Letters from the 'United States mention tie
probability that Mr. Ccmrori, of New York, the
nephew of the late Vice-Preide.nt of that name..
will be chosen President at the Election which is
tiVtgke place in the - present month of October,
and that the Federalists have engaged to support
him, on his express declaration, that be would
li--istahlish tranquility with Great Britain.
Letters have reached town from the French\
coast to tlie I 1 th, communicating intelligence from
Park of - the Bth instant.. The private accounts
from the army are said' to intimate, that many of
the soldiers were employed' iu raising temporary
buildings for winter quarters at 'Moscow, and even
fitting up.cellars therefor the sante purpose.

We understand that a Russian Nobleman in
this country has received a letter fr ni his son,
stating facts :vhich strve to explain the reason of
the retreat of theißussian army after the battle of
Borodino, in a different it anner from the• French
Bulletin. The following is stated to be the sub-
stance of this letter:—

" The cofps commanded by the Duke of Bel-
luno (Victor) joined the grktd French army on
the day aftei: tiro battle of lloroditm. This junc-
. tion added
.30,000. tr..eshh trbops to 41ne 1";,•!oh
army. The Russians, who in the battle idthe -7th
had been inferior in force to the French, and who
had suffered so severely, were unable- to make
bead against the enemy thus reinforcell, and fell
back first upon AtosCow,. -and then passed through
that city, not to Kashna, on the Oka, as was at
first supposed, but towards Vladymir. To have
risked another battle •under these .circumstances,.
between Mrijaisk and M9SCOAV, would have been
impolitic—to have stationed themselves in Mos-
cow, an immense city, bu!t not strong ether by
art or nature, was -AOt deemed advisable, for BOO-
naparte with his superior force might havepashed
a strong divisien'over the Moskwa, and lne..pc-
netrated into the rear of -the city, so as to have
cut off the retreat of the Russians by the Vlady-'
mir road. They would then have been cooped, up.
in Moscow, and
,the consequences might have:
been fatal to them, nor could-Moscow have been.
preserved from the ruin which has befallen it.---
e of the city by the French,:tye
reciprocal firing of the Russian and french artil-
lery, would have set fire' to the city, for the Mose.
part built of wood, quite as effectually as Buoria-'
parte represents it to have been dune by the agents,
of the Governor Rostopehin."
By a mail from Heligoland, letters have been
received to the date of Friday last, by which we
learn that the Danes bave received orders to gar-
noon Harnburgb, Bremen,_ and Lubec ; the
Trench garrisons having bcen withdrawn.

The dividends due at the Bank on the 10_11 in t.
will be paid to the public this day.,

The THEATRE.—The. new Theatre was opeqed
,again last night, with Mach Ado about Nothing.
and the farce of The Review. ELLISTON; with.
considerable powers-, goes not always • employ
them to advantage. His Benedick, instead of e-
ing airy, sprightly, and humorous, -was, through-
out, cold, formal, and sententious. Mrs. En-
