The successes in Castile are highly favourable •
to the Allied Arms. The French shamefully fly at

they perceived we were pursuing them in earnest
atrindoned waggons, horses, knapsacks, muskets,
and whatever they carry.
The fear which possesses the French lends them

The Rus'Sians have celerated Delon fdr 1
11.1 e battle of rolotzk. Te Peums have been `sung?
thesbattles of Riga, for the battle of Ostrow-b,
'
it, and for that of Smolensk. According to the
tissisan accounts -they were every where con-
glierors, and, they drove the French to a great
distance from the field of battle. It was then
amidst the strains of the Russian Te De* um that
the army arrived at Moscow. T.here.they thought
themselves conquerors, 'at 'ledst the popUlace
thought so, for weR-informed persons knew what

swan passing'..
" Moscow is the -entrepot. of Asia and of Etu

Its warehouses were immense ; ever
y
ht,iiSe was provided for eight months with n.ece§.-...,
taties of every description. It was only the even-
ing
beforerand the day'of our entrance, that the,
danger became known. ,We found.in the house
of the miserable RosToPCRIN. some papers, and a
setter half Written ; 'he fled without finishing it.
.e' Moscow, one of the finest and richest cities
ill the world, is no more. On the.l4th, the Rus-
41anS set fire to the Exchange, to the Ba.7ar,-and;
4:4 Hospital. - On the 16th, a violent-wind arose.
Three or four htinclred ruffians set fire to the
'pity in 30 different. places at the same moment,

lix.ths of the bouses.were built of wood; the fire.

Spread with a prodigious rapidity ; it was an ocean
of flame. Churches, of which
,there were 1600
`above 1000 palaces, immense magazines, nearly
All have fallen a pre/ to the flames. The Kremlin
Ilits been preserved.

Their loss is incalculable for Russia, for her
olumerce, and for her Nobility, who had left all
there. It is not over-rating its value to state it
IL many milliards.

" Aboat 100'of these incendiaries have been'
4Pprehended and shot : all of them declared that
Illey acted under the orders of Ro6TorcutN3 and
-e Director of the Police.

" Thirty thousand sick and wounded Russians
Ilare been burnt. The richest commercial houses
itillussia are ruined. The shock must be consider:.
Ilde. The cloathing, the magazines, and the

Nuipments of the itussian army have been con-
Ninecl. They have thus. lost every thing; they
*mad remove nothing, because they always

%ought it impossible for us to•reachMoscow, and
because they were willing to deceive the people.=
"When they saw all in the hands of the French,
• they conceived the horrible project of destroying
by fire this first capital, this holy city, the centre
Qt• the. Etnpire': and they have reduced to beggery

200,000 respectable inhabitants. This is the crime
RosTorcrim, executed by felons liberated from

C. prisons.

" The resources which the army had found are
tonsequently much diminished however, we have
tellected, and are still collecting, a number of ne-

tessaries. All the cellars are untouchecl by the

four limns, had saved many articles. They endea-
‘'oured to stop the progress of the fives, but the

Potatoes, cabbages, and other vegetables ; meat,
