Paris Papers reached town last night to the 9tb

instant, containing the Twenty-first Bulletin of
-the French Army in Pussia, dated Moscow, Sep-
tember 20. From ti'is dot ument we learn, that

the conflagration of that city 'continued till the
20th, hut a fourth of the hot3es, it is alleged,
remain. "Three hundred incendiaries," the Bul-
letin says, " have been arrested and shot." Thus
coolly is announced an act of the most wanton

barbarity ever perpetrated. Three hundred pa-
triotic inhabitants of Moscow, endeavouring to
save their city from the grasp of an invading
enemy, are put to death in Cold blood, with a
cruelty 'unheard of in the -history of civilized
nations !

This Bulletin, like the two preceding ones,
equally betrays the disappointment and chagrin of
BOONAPARTE. He has no boast to make, no hint
to throw out of anticipated success. A quantity
of ammunition (most probably grossly exaggerat-
ed), and'some wine and brandy are stated to, hae
been found, but not a word of the most essential
-article, provisions ; and the Bulletin concludes by
stating, that the weather is becoming rainy, and
that the greatest part of the army is in barracks in
Moscow.

This concluding sentence shews that the French
can advance no further. The rains once set in,

it is impos6ble tor the army to march, nor is it
easy t. 9 imagine how they are to obtain supplies
.at Moscow. BuONAPARTE, it is evident, is COM-
pelted abruptly to terminate the campaign; but
we hope, when the frost has set in, the
Russians will compel the French to learn a
lesson of a winter campaign which will not
be .quite agreeable to the latter. BUONAPARTE
expecting,
.45 in former instances, to terminate
-the campaign by dictating peace, has rushed, into
difficulties which now beset him on all sides, and
place him in a most perilous situation: He re-
mains where he is exposed to all, the rigours of the
climate during the winter, and the attacks of the
Russians upon his own benumbed troops,which will'
be little short of destruction to the latter, whilst
to retreat is almost impracticable, and,- were it
possible, .would involve the loss of his military
reputation, which alone supports him. It is highly
probable that, as 4 did in. Spain, he will quit his
army and return to Paris, leaving his Generals to
extricate the troops from the dangerous situation in
which he has placed them, and thus seize the pre-
- test of throwing upon thetn the di-sgrace.of the
failure •
