froi brie a poilier of
public isz ample, in. the presence of the whole army, of
an incompetent or cowatdly General ? Without such
an'extension of his powers, the Marquis of Wet-
LIAGTON can never enter the field on equal terms
with the French Generals. We are not for the de-
lays a Chelsea Court Martial would create—the call.
Officers as witnesses from the Peninsula, would
be as ridiculous as it would be impossible. No ; if
there are cowards under his Lordship's command
(which Heaven forbid 1),. let them not have the
honour of dying the death of Soldiers—a Gibbet 40
feet high will furnish what the French would call
46 an imposing spectacle"; and it will also impress
!upon them a most terrific lesson—it will teach them
that England has at last shaken off some part of the
old morality" of her Constitution, and has deter-
'mined, that whatever may be the character of her
Statesmen at home, she is determined to have none
but Soldiers in the field

From these gloomy subjects we turn, with unmixed
sensations of delight, to the contents of the Twenty-
fourth French Bulletin, with which the same Paris
Papers furnish us. It is dated Moscow, October
14th, and is, like many of its predecessors, short and
frothy. The weather is fine—all the wounded have,
Ibeen removed to Smolensk, Minsk, and Mohilow,
and numbers have been restored to health—..the snow
began to fall on the 13th October—in twenty days
more the army must go into winter quarters. Such
Its the faithful summary of the intelligence conveyed
Iby this Bulletin, which the Parisians can deem to be
favodrable to the good cause in which their Emperor
is embarked.

We rejoice however to find it admitted, by the
same document, that the Russian Army from Mol-
davia has joined that of General TORMAZOFF, and
that the Russians are rapidly recruiting their armies.
The details of the affair at Riga, to which place the
Bulletin writer wanders in search of matter, are
already before our Readers. A fogner Bulletin told
us, that one-fourth of Moscow onl, was saved : the
French Engineers now report, that one-tenth only has
been saved—sorry winter quarters for the miserable
banditti who nuw take shelter amidst its ruins !

Under the head Russian Bulletins, our Readers will
find additional details from the Russian Generals—
they do not give the lie Co the Twenty-fourth Bulk-
tin, it is true ; but they inform us, that if the French
had been pleased to speak out, they might have filled
many Bulletins, but the details would have been far
from gratifying.
In the St. Petersborgh letters it is stated as a re-
port which obtained credit, that an action had taken
place between the advanced guardof the French,'to the
South of Moscow, and that of the grand Russian army
under Kuvusoip, when the former were repulsed with
the loss of .5000 men. Previous to this action it is
said, that the French had sent detachments of 70001
men each in the direction of Demitroff, to the North,
and Mojaisk, to the West, to prevent the intrusion of
the Russians, who were collecting in those neighbour-
, hoods.

Two letters of the 19th, from Konigsburg, agree
in asserting that NAPOLEON was every hour expected
in that city; that suitable accommodations had been
prepared for him; and that supplies and quarters had,
by public order, been provided for 17,000 men. It
is probable that the army under Marshal MACDO
NALD may have taken the opportunity of abandoning
Courland, while the roads would admit of its retreat
with the heavy artillery, which had been intended
for the siege of Riga, and that for this force the quar-
ters are prepared at Konigsburg ; indeed, the ad.
vices from the neighbourhood of Memel seem to re-
move all doubt on the subject.
We are happy to find, that at this seasonable time,
a gun brig, with a number of transports, conveying
arms and other necessaries for the use of the Russian
army, had reached Cronstadt.
Commerce had assumed a more favourable appear_
ante ; sugars, coffee, and even twist for the internal
manufactures, had risen in price, and no apprehen-
sions were entertained of the approach of the enemy
to Petersburgh during the present year.
It is again reported, that FREDERICK WILLIAM has
terminated his reign by abdication in favour of Bono-
PAM'S, and that Prussia is to become immediately
what is called an integral part of the French Empire.

Yesterday Earl Monist had an interview with the
PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. The SF.AHORSE
frigate, of 88 guns, which has lately undergone a
thorough repair at Woolwich, was yesterday ordered
to be fitted out to take his Lordship to India.
Yesterday Lord CASTLEREAGH came to town from'
his seat at North Cray, and transacted business at
the Foreign Offices
Yesterday the tad of LIVERPOOL came to town
from Comb Wood, and waked upon the PRINCE RE.
GENT at Carlton House, The Noble Earl afterwards
I transacted business with the Earl BATHURST, at the
Office of the War Department.
There is some probability that the splendid talents
of Mr. CANNINe will not be lost to his country at
this important crisis. In a circular letter of thanks
addressed to his friends at Liverpool, Mr. CANNING
expresses a hope, that if on any future oreation" he
may require their votes, he may once more have the
honour of representing them. From this expression
it is inferred, that Mr. CANNLNE is on the eve of
coming into office.
BERNARD TROTTER, late the Secretary of Mr. Fox,
has been arrested and committed to Wexford gaol,
on a charge of frequenting seeremeetings, and also
of assault and rescues
