SECO\ D EDITION.

The following are all the particulars which have
been stiff, red to transpire in the Government Offices
on the subject of the above arrivals :

The Russian Messengers above alluded to left G.
tenburgh on the 19th. All was hustle and prepan-
tion tt Gottenburgh for the sailing of the Grsnd Es.
,edition, which was to take place next day.
The dest:nation was openly reported to be Rig,
in the first instance, and from thence to proceed vp
the Dpna to cut off the communication between dal
main body and the reserve of the French Army;
supported by a formidable Russian and English flo-
tilla.

One of the Messengers is the bearer of ample del
tails of the aftirs at Smolensk, preridus to &alma.
donment of that place by the Russians.

The whole of the actions in question were higbly
honourable to the Russian arms; and the evacaatio
of Smolensk, so far from being a capture, as rep*
sented by the French Bulletin{, was a measure WS*
nimously decided upcn by the whole Russian Gel
nerals.

Dispatches have been received from Lord CAM,
CART, but it is understood that they do not emb7lo
any military events subsequent to the entrance of 04
French into Smolensko.

The Russians, in both the Capitals of Moscow sad
St. Petersburgh, so far from being disheartened by
the advance of the French, oppose a determined spi•
rit of resistance to the invasion.

The hastening of the expedition from Cottenburgh
was understood to be the consequence of the sumy
sition thdt the critical period had arrived, when snmeto
thing decisive could be effected in the rear Of the
French Army, the Russians baying determined to
give battle in front of Moscow.
