FOREIGN OFFICE, OCT. 15.

" Accounts have been, this morning received
from General Viscount CATIrCART, dated. St.
P 'erqburgh , Sept, 22, and stating to the follow-

ing effect
". Marshal Prince KUTU sow having withdrawn
his Army from before Moscow, the enemy en-
tered it on the 14th. But the Emperor 61.,RinstA
has determined to persevere, and refuse every
overture to negotiate, direct.or indirect.

" By every account the French lost 40,000 men
in the battle of Borodino, and retreated 13 versts.
Two days r after the battle, •KUTUSONV retired a
,r - distance on the Moscow road ; he then en-
aeavoureil to find a position more tenable.near
INloscow ; but, such not being to be found, he re-
tired, after, a Council of. War, to a strong- posi-
tion, leaving the enemy to,enter the city.
" The position taken up by the Russians is
nearly .20 miles beyond Moscow, near Podolsk
aiid- Wakedesk.

The communications. of tl►e enemy -on the
side of Smolensk are menaced. Thirty thousand

men art.. near Ter

" The Militia of ,Katouga "and the surrounding
countries are kept in their posit.ions.
That of Moscow is with NuTtr. sow. A
battle. in the new position seems inevitable at an
early day.

‘...lloßm.AzoFF's corps would be near 100,000

men in a few clays.

":.'The tictaithments from Riga and Finland were
moving to join
.'WITTGEMTEZN."

• It will be seen from this document, that, as we
judged from a perusal of the French Bulletins, the
Russian Government remains firm and determined,
and is entirely occupied with additional prepara-
tions to meet the enemy with an adequate force.
The only fear, therefore,-as to the ultimate success
of the Russian cause, has vanisted. The enemy,
unable to advance from Moscow, will ere long
cease, to be formidable. Their arrival in that
City, an event to which 13UONAT!ARTE looked as the
termination of his labours and the completion of his
hopes,will , we eonfidentty anticipate, prove most di=
sastrous to the French arms. Were even the French
army to maintain their winter quarters in Mos-
cow, 'slow and silent, but certain, destruction
Must await a large proportion of the troops. But
by what magic is BUONAPARTE to close .the cam-
paign, because it suits the convenience of his fol.,
lowers Will the Russians consent to close the
Campaign ? and in what a situation will the French
be placed it, on the commencement of winter,
their opponents renew active operations
The expectation of another great battle at
KOUTOUSOFF'S new position, • Mentioned; in .the
above Bulletin, referred, Of course, to a state of
circumstances which soon ceased to exist. Buo-
NArARTE, unable to advance further, now in his
bleu reuiains upon the defensive, and waits to be
attacked; Or rather in the hope that the Russians
wL: allow his army uwinter's repose. We trust,
however, that that repose will be effectually dis-
turbed..-- '

Some further Paris Papers to the 12th instant
reached town last ni.L.,ht. They contain no addi-
tional information, except that the French army
continued to repose at Moscow on the 23d ult.

. Further accounts from Gottenturgh state, that
a very considerable ExpeditiOn bad .sailed from
Riga, under the command of_General ESSEN, sap-
posed to be destined against Mittau, where the
enemy's force consisted principally of Prus-
sians. Thcreports from Riga mention, that 'great
sickness prevailed in OITDINOT'S Corps, and that
OUDINOT hiMself, and , two other GencialS, were
dead, The i.:.xpeditlon from Riga is said to con=
Bit of frOni 25 to 30,000 men.

The new Parliament it is said, meet for the
dispatch of business on the 24th of next month, sit
for three or four v;yeelcs, -and adjourn till February.

an extract of a letter from Sir PETER PARKER,
Of his Majesty's ship Menelaus, to Sir ROBERT
LAWRIE,. who commands in Sicily. The letter de-•
scribed the spirited attack on the port of St. Ste:-

The following is the passage relating to the deL

to the feelings of the writer, as w6ll as to the per-

possessed, endeared him toall, and his death has
caused A sensation Of sorrow and grief in the ship
not to be. described ; from the Captain to the low-

The deceased young hero, whose memory is so
honourably embalmed in the hearts of his friends,
and companions in the gallant enterpeize„was the-
son of the late Capt. JAMES' NoNRo, of the East

•The mansion of Major Bulky, at Stoneham

ocasioued by some linen taking fire in the bum-,

when the family were rest, but providentially
the family and domestics escaped the danger, al-
though the house was reduced to ruins in a very
short time: •
