We stopped the Press yesterday to announce to
our Readers the arrival of- a Gottenburgh Mail,
with accotrnts .of the further
,successes Or' the
Rusiians. • The Russians continue to pursue with
activity and perseverance, and the French to fly Ai
-rapidly as their wretched state will permit them,
daily losing great numbers of men, as well by fatigue
as by the sword, blowing up their ammunition
waggons, and destroying their cannon. The plain.
and soldier-like narrative of General KirruSoW
details the losseS of the French behteen the 9th
and I.3th of November. The remains'ofthe corps. •
of General AUGEREAU (brother to the Marshal),
worn down by fatigue, laid down. their arms.---=,
It is. almost impossible to form an estimate
of the number of French troops that- have reached-'
Smolensk°, but whatever their number may be,
they eannot,,asnu army, be very formidable; for
they are without artillery and without baggage—
their strength.exhausted by unparalleled exertions
and privations, and.theirspirits depressed by a long
serieso. fdefeat and disasters. It appears thhtVicroa,
who commanded one of
,the two Corp:; that BIM-
NAPARTE left in reserve, had advanced, with a view
of endeavothing to force open dpaSsage for the
French troops cooped up in Stholensko, but he
was defeated with' great loss. Smolensk° may
slow be considered as effectually blockaded. WITT-
CANST.EIN and TSHITQIIAGOFF have formed -a line
in front of it, and the gallant Kin•usow has
taken a pos'ition a .few miles, to the southward
•

The following Bulletin was issued yesterday
after the arrival of the intelligence'.

BULLETIN.

" Government have this morning received ac-
counts from Gottenburgh to the 30th of Novem-
ber. No dispatches have been received from Lord
CATHCART, but the accounts from the Rusian
armies are of the most flattering description.—
General PLATO)V had taken 900 men and two

pieces of cannon, .at the passage of the Dnciper,
below Smolensk°. A Corps of 2,000 men, under
the command of General AUGEREAU, brother of
the Marshal of that mime, had surrendered at
descretion to Count ORLOFF DENIZOW.
" The last accounts from KUTUSOFF were dated
the 13th of November, at Lolikovo-, 40 %rusts to.

the southward of Smolensk°, Nothing at tha

time was known of BUONIPARTE:'

IVe this morning received the following letter
from Dover :

"DOVER, DEC. 10.—A vessel arrived off here this
afternoon from Dieppe,' and landed a passenger;
but though he v.as very strongly interrogated as
to news, he would not utter a word, but seemed
very anxious,to.sit off. for London, which he did
as• soon as he procured a conveyance. It is thought
he is the bearer of• sonic important intelligence;.
the vessel was a Prussian, and left thence three
days ago."

'We have not beard of the arrival of this myste

tious stranger in town.

Our Readers trill be entertained With the Ex-
tracts which we have made from the German Pa-
p rs under the power. of litlONo.nrcrz. Nothing
eau be moreludicrous than:the way in which they
speak of the state of .the campaign in Russia:--
We. have long ' justly appreciated the degree of
credit which ought to be..given to the.se Journals;
but if any - doubt could exist upon that subject
BuoNAPARTE's intercepted Leiter would effectually
rm:ove it.

WALTER SCOTT'S new Poem it is said, proceeds
with the usual rapidity of his Muse. The reputa-
tion however, is deservedly so high, that it is iu-
cumbent on him to learn the art of blotting, par-
ticularly as he is sure, that, come when it may,
t,be work will be well received.
