MOST IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE

FROM FRANCE.

JTH FRENCH BULLETIN..

DREADFUL SITUATION OF THE

FRENCH ARMY.

We have this day to announce the hrrival of

French Papers, containing the Twenty-Ninth

Boiled-11 of the-French Aray, detailing such an.

account of disaster and misery as, we believe, was

never before officially published.—We hasten to

lay it before our Readers it requires no corn-

nient.

TWENTY-NINTH BULLETIN OF T:IE GRAND ARMY

NioletletAch no, Dec. 3.

To t`lif,. Gth is.iovembzr the-weather was fine,

and the movements of the Army executed, with

the greatest success.

The cold weather began on

the 7th from that moment wt: every ni;ht lost

several hundred horses, that died in consequence

of bivouacking. Arrived at Smolensk°, we bad

aiready lost many cavalry and. artillery horses.

The Russian army from Volhynia was opposed

to our right. Our right left the Minsk line of

operations and took fer the pivot of its opera-

tions the Warsaw line.

On the 9th, the Emperor was informed, at

Safoiensko, of this change in the line of opera,-
tions, and conceived what the enemy would

However hard it appealed to biro to. put liiniself

in movement during so cruel a season, the new

state of things demanded it.

Ile expected to

arrive at Minsk, or at least upon. the BeleSinn,

before the enemy. On the 13th he qpitted'Sm.o.-
I(m,-k ; on the 16th, he slept at Krasnoi.

The cold, which began on the 7th, suddenly in-

.creased, and on the 14th, Isth, and leth, the

thermometer was 16 and 18 degreesbelow the

freezing point.

The roads were covered with ice,, the cavalry,

artillery, :And baggagehorses, perished every night,
only by hundreds, but by thousands, particu-

lady the German and French horses

Ina few dAys more than 30,000 h:orses. perish-.

ed ; our cavalry. were on foot,. our artillery and

our baggage were without correyitnee,

wNs. necessary to abandon aid destroy. a

good part of ouz cannon, ammunition, and pro-

He surrounded Attie cokunts with his cossacks,

wl:o carried off, like the Arabs in the deserts,

the trains and carriages which separated. This

contcniptible cavalry, which only makes noises
and is not capable of penetrating through
a company of voltigcurs, rendered them-
selves formidable, by favour of certain 'cir-
cumstance ' Nevertheless, the enemy had to

repent of &1 the serious attempts which he

wished to undertake ; they were overthrown

by the Vicroy, before whom they were placed,

and lost many men.

The Duke of ELCHINGEN, with 3000 men, bad

blown 41p the 'ramparts of -Smolensko. He was
surrounded, and found himself in a critical posi-

tion, but lie extricated himself from it With that

intrepidity for which he is distinguished.

After having kept the enemy at a distance from.
him daring the whole day of the 18th, and con-

stantly repulsed him, at night he made a me‘:ernent

on .the right, passed the Borysthenes, and d-e-
-ceived. all the calculations °ls the enemy.
On the 19tia, the Army passed the. Borystbenes
at Orza, and the Russian army being fatigued,

anti having lost a. great number of men, ceased.

from its attempts.
The army of Volhynia, had in dined, on the
16th, upon Minsk,, and marched upon Borisow.
General nOMBROWSKI defcnded the bridge head
of Borilow, with 3,004. men. On the 23d he

was fo;'ced and obliged to. evacuafe this position.

The enemy the: passed. the Beresina, marching
-upoll Bohr. ; the. iivision LAMBiAT formed . tile

a:trance:l-guard'. The 211 corps, commanticAby
the Duke of REGozo,, which, was at Tocher-

ein, bad received orders toonarcb upon Borisow,

to secure to the ortny the passage of the Beresina.

Oil the 24th, the Duke of 11,tooio met the

division LAnBEnT four leagues from, Dorisp,w, at-

tacked and defeated it, took 200 a pr4.aners, six
pieces of cannon, 500 baggage waggons, of the
Army of Valhvnia, and threw enemy on the
right bank of the Beresina.

General BERKEIM,.with the 4th cuirassiers, di3-

tinguished himself by a fine charge.. •
The enemy could only secure his safety by burn-
ing the bridge, is more than 300. toises in

len!,-,tll.

Nevertheless, the enemy occupied all the pas-
sages of the Beresina; this river is forty toises
wide ; it had much floating ice en it, but its

banks are covered with marshes,, three hundred

Wises long, which present obstacles in clearing

The enemy's General had placed his four divi-
sions at the different dehouches,' where he pre-

sumed the French army would attempt to pass,,
On the 26th, at break of day, the Emperor, al-.

ter leaving deceived the enemy by different move-
ments made during the, day Of the 250, trrarehed

le.a-gues in th:s, dixeetiat, • that during the night,
and benumbed with cold, it rallied at seeing the ene-
my's fires, which it mistook for those of the French
army. - Thus surrounded, it was taken. This
cruel Mistake must have caused us a loss of 2000
infantry, 300 cavalry, and three pieces of artillery.
Reports state, that the General of Division was
not with his column, awl had marched alone.

All the army having passed on the morning of
the 28th, the Duke of BELLUNO guarded the tete-
du-pont upon the left bank ; the Duke Of 1-tim;Gto,
and behind hint all the army, was upon the right
bank.

Borisow haying been evacuated, the armies of
the Marina and Volhynia communicated ; they
planned an attack on the 28th, at break of day.
Ile Duke of I4GGio caused the Emperor to be
informed that he was attacked. Half an hour af-
terwards, the Duke of BU.LUNO. was so, on the
left bank.

The Duke of EtcHINGEN immediately followed
the Duke of REGGio, and the Duke of TitEiso
the Duke of ELCIII-NOEN. The battle be,7aine
warm•. The enemy wishing to turn our right,
General Dowirine,, commanding the sth division
of cuirassiers,. which, made part of thud. corps
that remained on the Dwina, ordered a charge of
cavalry by, the 4th and nth regiments of cuiras-
siers, at the moment when the legion of the Vis-
tula was engaged ip the woods, to pierce the
Centre of the enemy, who. was defeated and put to.
the rout. With the enemy's.cavalrywhich cause to.
the assistance of its infantry, 0,000 prisoners,. two.
standards, and six pieces of cannon fell into our
hands.. On, this. side the Duke of BELLI/NO
vigorously and successfully charged th.: enemy,
defeated Wm, took from five to six hundred pri-
soners, and did; not sulfer him to advance within
the teach of the cannon of the bridge. General
FouaNIER waded, fine charge of cavalry.
Iu the battle of the Berisina the army of Vol,
hynia suffered much. The Duke of REoolo was
wounded, but his wound, is not dangerous; lie re-
ceived a ball in his side.
The next day, the 2gth, we remained on, the
field of battle. We had to make our choice be-
tween two routes, that to Minsk and that to Wilna„
The road to Minsl led through the middle of a
forest, and of • uncultivated marshes, where
it was impossible for the army to subsist
itself. the contrary, the road to Vilna
leads, through a very fine country. The army
being without cavalry, deficient of ammuni-
tion, and horribly fatigued by 50 days merch, car-
rying in its train all the sick and wounded of -so
many battles, stood greatly in need of getting to its
magazines.

On the 36tb, the head-quarters were at
Plectinitsi; on the . Ist Deceember at Siaike ;
and on the 3d, at Molodctshna, where the
army received the first convoys from \Vilna.

Tile whole of the woundedthficers.and soldiers,
and whatever else could be of embarrassments,
with the baggage, &c. were sent off to NVilna.
To say that the army stands in need of re-esta-
blishing its dicipline, of refreshing itself, of re-
motuiting its cavalry, completing its artillery,
and its material ; this is the result of the
ExpesC, which has just been made. Its repose
is of the first necessity. The material ar-
ticles and the horses are eoming in ; General
8014.1 ER has already more than 20,000 remount
horses in different depots. .The artillery kas al-
ready repaired its losses. •

had still a li9rae, reinainiug, in order to form
four ceropanies of one hundred men each,
The Generals there performed the functions of
Captains, and the Colonels those of subalterns.
This sacred squadron, commanded by General
GROUCHY, and under the.ordcrs.ot the Kiug of NA-
iLEs, did not lase sight of-the Emperor in all these
movements The health of his Majesty was ne-
ver better.—Monitenr, Dee.. 17.

PARIS, Dec. 18.—On the sth December, the
Emperor having called together, at his head
quarters, at Smorgony, the Viceroy, the Priace
of NEUFCHATEL, and Marsbals Dukes of EL -
CHINGEN, DANTLIC, TREVISO. the Prince
ECKI•CHL, and the Duke of ISTRIA& acquainted
them that he had nominated the King of NAPz,gs
his Lieutenant General, to command the arry

during the rigorous season.
His Majesty, in passing through Wilna, wat
employed several hours with the Duke of BAS-'
