We cannot forbear again to offer our congra-
tulations to the public on the decisive triumph
of the Russian Arm,s, the details of which were
yesterday published in a Gazette Extraordinary.
The poVver of France is broken ; that immense
force which BUONAPARTF, had' collected for. the
subjugation of Russia, is nearly annihilated, and
the Tyrant himself, if not at this moment a pri-
soner or a corpse, is a wretched fugitive, forced
to fly for safety to some of those Sovereigns Whom
be has betrayed, insulted, or injured.. Various
reports continue to be circulated, respecting his
fate ; according to some, he has arrived at War-
saw orßerlin,according to others, he was shot by
one of his own officers.—These reports do not
rest upon any authority. We know nothing cer-
tain about him; except that when he saw DA-
t•ousT'S corps about to be defeated, he ran away,
and took the road to Lindam, which is in the
direction of Orcha. It is quite obvious 'that he
could not proceed in a direct route towards the
frontiers, because the Russian force under TOR-
MAZOW, TCHICHAGOFF, and WITTGENSTEIN Op-
posed an insurmountable barrier. He would, in -
all probability, bend his course to • the south-
ward, with the hope of avoiding the Russian
cordon. It was on the 17th of November that
he fled from his Army : if he had reached any
place of safety by the 2d or the 3d of this
month, some account of him would, of course,
have been received at Paris, and a Bulletin would
have been published. After the extraordinary
specimens of invention which we witnessed in
the last French- and German Papers, we shall
not be surprised (if BUONAPARTE should escape)
to see a Bulletin announcing the arrival of his
Imperial Majesty, in perfect health, with all his
army, undiniinished in numbers, in comfortable

winter quarters!

It was strongly reported at Peter burgh, when
the Messenger carne away, that NEy was dead of

Lis wounds.

THE ROYAL FAMILY.—The •Dukes of YORK,
CLARENCE, KENT, CUMBERLAND, and CAM-
ERIDCE, dined with the QUEEN and PRINCESSES,
at Carlton House, on Tuesday : also, a select
party, were invited, and dined With the QUEEN,
and spent the evening there.

Tuesday the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES
stripped at Kensington Paince on her way to Lon-
don, and dined with the Princess of WALES. In
the evening between eight and nine o'clock, the
Princess CHARLOTTE went to Carlton House, and
joined the Royal party at supper.

Yesterday morning the Qut and ,PIIINCESSIT!
vi, ited the Duchess of BRUNSWICK.

Yesterday the QUEEN and PRINCESSES dined
with the PRINCE. REGENT, at Carlton 'House.
The Countess of 14XERINGTON, Mrs.. flowE, and
a select party, were invited to meet them. In the
evening there was a dress party. •

Mr. DANIELS, the King's Messenger, arrived.
at Lord CASTIAIREAGH'S house on Tuesday night,
viith the dispatches from Lord CATHCART. LOrd.
CASTLEREAOH had gone to bed, having been in-
elfsposed for several days with a Cold : his Lord..
ship rose, and finding the dispatches so truly gra-
tifying, he went to Carlton House ;it a quarter
past one o'clock, to communicate their contents
to the PRINCE REGENT.

Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL had an audi-
tuce of the PRINCE REGENT.

The report of the career of lluorrAPAntE having
been terminated by death r,till prevailed yester-
day. Accounts from Berlin received by the way
of Gottenhurgh, state, that on the 4th instant, a
Courier arrived at the former city; requiring the
'attendance of several of the most eminent Sur-
geons, on a person A-~f grcat_,distinction in the
French army, who had been severely wounded in
the rercat from Smolensk°. Three of the prin-
cipal Surgeons of Berlin immediately departed
with the Courier, and the rumour was, that they
were to employ their skill on BuoNAF•Awru, but
from what is stated in the Russian dispatches, it
is more probable that the wounded Commander is
Marshal NEY. .

Execution.—This morning John ,Shipman was,
pursuant to his sentence for forgery, executed be-
fore the- Debtors' Door,, Newgate, This unfor-
tunate young man was brought on the platform nt
a quarter after eight o'clock, attended by the Rev.
Dr. Foan, witri whom he remained a few seconds
11 prayer, and was then launched off, and met
that fate which the. laws of his country bad d-rsorn-
e, .him to. suffer, with great emotion his body,
after being suspended the usual time, was cut
(.;,.;,:1, and then delivered over to his -relatives,
whiting-with a hearse to convey it away

There has been a report some days, that Lord
W'ALPOLE, who iS joined with Lord CAT/iCART in
the Embassy to St. Petersburgh, was gone
on a Mission ,to the Court of Vienna, bat as it did
not seem to wear an authentic 811 ape, we did' not
think proper to: notice it. We now, however,
learn, from private letters, "on which we are in-
clined to rely, from-St. Petersburgh, shat such.a
Mission was actually about to take place when
the last dispatches came from that capital ; and
we, learn also, that the recent and signal triumphs
of the Russian arms, had given increased latitude
and importance to the communication. It Is need,
less, for ns, in the present state of affairs in -fins,
sia; and duly estimating the influence which its
glorious victories must necessarily produce (-)0 the
Continent,, to expatiate on the vast importance
of such a Mission,'nor, perhaps, should we
be deemed too sanguine, if we wue to con-
sider it as pregnant with the deliverance of the
Continental Powers, and the restoration of peace
and tranquility to the civilized world. •

THE 'MARQUIS OF SLIGO.—The Sentence this
day pronounced by Sir WILLIAM SCOTT upon the
Marquis of SLIGO, who was yesterday convicted,
at the Admiralty Sessions, was, that he should
pay a fine of Five 'Thousand Pounds, and that he
should be imprisoned four mouths in New gate.
