marched that morning from Burgos towards Vitto.
via; and it was rumoured at Villa Zoro, that the
French, having been reinforced, were advancing.
Ia another,eolumn we have the satisfaction of lay.
ing before our Readers some most important infor.
;nation on the subject of Russia, communicated by
'an intelligent and enlightened native. It proves, (if
proof were wanting,) that the occupation of Moscow
by the enemy, during winter, will be the most disas-
trous event for the French army which ever occurred
in military annals. The picture it presents Of the
privations which the severity of a Russian winter
snot inevitably occasion, is of such a cast, that we
are induced to, repose some confidence in the reports
that Botraparrre has really made overtures for a pa-
cification. These, we trust, will never be listened to,
while there is a Frenchman or a Frenchman's slave
within the limits of the Russian Empire.
It WAS this morning reported, that the Twenty-
second Bulletin was in town ; but it is said to allude
to no military event whatever—a certain proof that
the Russians are too formidable around Moscow to
make an attack upon them successful.

It is unmanly to insult a fallen enemy, but there
is really sa much of the truly ridiculous, so much of
the earitatura in poor General Num.'s narrative, that
we cannot withhold it from our Readers. If the
Americans are to take the Canadas in this way, the
Greek Calends will bring the account of their stir- I
tender. From General Deannourre and his 30,000
men, we have no fears. General HuLL has already
shewn us hoiv " impossible it is in the nature of
things" for the Americans to fight, and we are satis-
fied. A Colonel CASS, who accompanied General HULL
on his expedition,has published a narrative of the cam-
paign—in which we find the terms "timid, irresolute
and indecisive measures."—" Cowardice and miscon-
duct" applied pretty truly to the captive General.
this we regard, however, as a puff preliMinary
inibepventotiou of CASS himself. His narrative is a fit
doormat to be bound up with his master's Procla-
mation, on entering Canada, and with Commodore
Room' Journal of his voyage. These Americans
talk big, and would probably fight well too, if they
fought in a good cause, but the invasion of Canada
and the capture of British vessels are not of this de-
scription. In the mean time our extracts from the
American Papers will :hew that the British are about
to act on the offensive--this will replace matters the
more speedily on an amicable footing.
With respect to the intentions of the American
Government, as we stated yesterday, little with cer-
tainty is known, and that little' is not of a pacific
mature. Sir JOHN BORLASE WARREN'S intended visit
to America with full powers to negotiate, was known
at Washington, and is said to have produced a reso-
lution on the part of MADISON to rise higher in his
demands. But from all we can learn, his re-election
as President, is a matter of some doubt. The Federal
,party is now running very high—the States of Vir-
giuia having declared themselves averse to the war.

While the Russians are carving out abandan ce of
werw work for BONAPARTE in the North, during the
winter, we have the satisfaction to find that Miniiseri
have determined to keep his troops in Spain also in
full employment. Sixteen thousand British troops

stantly to be shipped for Russia, with which to arm

A letter from New Orleans, dated Augsut 21, says,
" On Wednesday night last, About ten o'clock, a
gale commenced, occasionally accompanied with rain
and hail, and which continued with a most dreadful
violence for upwards of four hours. As we have ne-
ver witnessed any thing to equal it, neither do we be-
lieve the imagination can picture to itself a scene more
truly awful and distressing than that which its conse-
quences present. The market-house, a large and so-
lid building, entirely demolished; its brick columns,
of two feet diameter, swept down as though their
weighty construction presented no obstacle whatever
to the overwhelming element. The roof carried off
from the church of the convent, the fence surround-
ing which, as also the trees in the garden, many
whereof are remarkable large, levelled to the ground.
The tin covering of the theatres, nailed on in such a
manner as would certainly have resisted any ordinary
force, twisted and torn off as though it were mere pa-
per. A great part of the brick wall curosulding the
garrison beat down. It would be impossible to par-
ticularise all the damage that has been clOne; we be-
lieve, however, we may assert, that there is not a
building in the City or fauxbourgs, but what has been
more or less injured.
44 But the. scene presented to us on visiting the
&home/he shag attempt to describe ? The level al-
most entirelt destroyed—the beach covered with
fragments of. vessels, merchandise, trunks, &c. and
here and there the eye falling upon a mangled corpse.
All the shipping below town high and dry in the
woods. All the river craft, barges, market-boats,
&c. entirely crushed to atoms. As far as we have
heard from the country, the ravages have been ter-
rible--the planters' dwellings, sugar-houses, &c. de-
molished , and we have reason to fear that nearly
the whole crop of sugar will be lost." • • 2.-

RUSSIA

A Correspendent has favoured us w;th the follow.
ing particulars respecting Russia, which are entitled
to Attention, as conveying the informatioffi received
front a person of distinction, and a native of HMCO* a
In the possession of Moscow, Bonaparte hoped to
secure for his army good winter-quarters, and abed&
ance of supplies. For the attainment of firm ob.
jest it is probable that enough of the town has been
restated from the fl =es ; for though the buildings
in Moscow consist chiefly of small wooden houses,
there are while streets of stone and brick palaces
roofed with iron, and the walls of these edifices are
so prodigiously thick, that the conflagration could
scarcely spread througfastliern. The phrase us-al in
the Bulletin 4, Moscowls no more," was perhaps
employed to educe a string impression on the
minds of the Russian people, and to alienate their
affections from their G )vernment, as the alledged
cause of such destruction.
Bin thottgh a sufficient number of buildings mar
remain to afford barracks for the French army, kis
difficult to imagine, how this army is to be subsisted
through a long winter in this rigorous climate. The
statement in the 20th Bulletion, that " every house
was provided for eight months with necessaries of
every description," is perfectly false. The season for
laying in a stock of provisions had not arrived when
the French entered Moscow. It is only about the
middle of Oeteber, just before the snow begins to
fall, char the winter supplies.are collected. At other
seasons of the year, the general stock of provisions itl
the town is calculated only for a short period of con-
sumption. It is equally false that the French found
large supplies of wines, brandy, ace. in the cellars.—
The middle and inferior classes at Moscow are alto.
gether without any supplies whateverof these articles.
They are obliged to be contented with humble liven,
a beverage that may hereafter produce a greater
mortality among the French, than the grapes of
Champagne did among the Prussians under the Duke
of Brunswick, at the commencement of the revolts.
lion. In the cellars of the richt r and higher orders
alone were such supplies to be discovered, but in no
pmportion to the quantity stated in the Bulletin.
The necessity for collecting. stores for the winter is
occasioned by the cessation of all intercourse betweeu
Moscow, and the smaller towns, villages, and estates,
during that severe season. Except the great and
leading roads of the Empire, every highway and
footpath is lost in the fallen snow. It is difficult to
conceive how the French army can obtain the means
of subsistence for the winter, surrounded, as it must
be, by impassable and trackless snow, and by a hos-
tile population.
Bonaparte has asserted, that he found in Moscow
60,000 stand of arms, and 150 pieces of cannon. This
is not to be credited ;—there is no arsenal at Moscow;
.and the prodigious extent of the town renders it per.
Ifectly indefitui6le. It is surrounded dy no firtified liner,
'and so numerous a park of artillery was not requi-
site for the defence of the Kremlin.
A circumstance which hitherto appears to have
escaped general observation is, :'the probable diminu-
tion of the numbers of the French, by the effects of
climate alone, at this season of the year. There are
`three rivers, which partly surround and flow through
the city of Moscow ; and the fogs and exhalations
' them, jest previously to the falling of the snow,
'titre extremely injurious to the health, even of the in•
bitants seasoned to the climate. In these destruc-
tive miasmata the Russians will probably have an
17111
effective ally; and we may confidently expect, that
(thousands of Bonaparte's southern troops will thus be
litscrificed to the pestilential rigours t f a Russian cli-
, mate.—While the numbers of the French army are
diminishing, to those of the Russian a constant aug-
mentation will be made. The destruction of the
greater part of Moscow, instead of dispiriting the
Russian nobility, has exasperated and animated tbetn
to the greatest exertions and sacrifices. Already have
they placed one-tenth of their vassals at the disposal
' of the Government : and it is calculated that, by this
Mode of supply, upwards of 400,000 men may be
raised. In Russia there are 42 provincial or depart-
mental Governments ; and it is supposed, that even
the smallest will be able to raise nearly ten thousand
recruits.
In penetrating to Moscow, it appears, that Bona-
parte calculated on a certain spirit of disaffection to
the Government, which has generally been known to
exist in that part of the empire: but he seems to have
committed the gross error of concluding, that because
the Muscovite Nobility were dissatisfied with the Go.
vernment, he should find them ready to join a Cor.
sicaa invader. He ;14S been deceived and disap-
pointed. It is certainly true, that a sort of esprit de
corps—or what may rather be called an esprit de rang
—pervades this class of the Russian Nobility. They
•consist chiefly of the most ancient families in the em-
pire. They have been established in the territory of
Moscow and the neighbouring provinces for ages ;
they have always been in a masked degree attached
to the ancient Metropolis, and consequently have
viewed with jealousy the rapid growth of the new
capital in the North.
These andother circumstances, by fostering a spirit
of union atm* them, have given them a conscious.
nest of imporsance and strength ; and their opinions
have not always been in unison with those of the
Court. But these feelings have nothing. in them un-
patriotic,—nothing favourable to the views of a fo.
reign interest,—nothing that Bonaparte should have
conceived to be favourable to his designs.
It remains only to say a word on that influence
which it is suspected may divert the Emperor Alexan-
der from his present determination to reject all over-
tures to a pacification. Romanzoff, though much
abused, is, in heat t, a Russian. At the period wben Great
Britain and Russia were at variance, he was suspected,
' because he manifested norefcrence in oar fare*,
'Of an attachment to the policy of France. The.lattgr

talents, followed the stream.% He is too timid,, and

Two squadrons of the First Regiment of Life
Guards paraded,yesterday morning, at seven o'clock,
in Hyde-park, opposite their Barracks at Knights-
bridge. They appeared in their fighting costume,
d with their new appointments complete. After
'ng through the uslial routine of parade duty,
Which occupied about half an hour, one squadron
'missed through the centre of the Barracks, and pro-
ceeded towards Hyde-park-corner, and the other at
the same instant wheeled to the right, and set out at
a quick pace for Kensington. The concourse of
people, notwithstanding the rain, was very great.

tle, being crowded with spectators, who Ofilk
air accLimatiops and shouting—a GOD Rem
sosi th'—a Swat atomism I" The gratulations and
valedictory exclamations of the populace, produced
a suitable return on the part of the military, who
waved their helmets, and continued to huzza as lag'
as they remained in sight.' The martial appearaticob
the discipline, and eficieticy of the men ; the Elgin
mettle, the elegant mould, and the snip* docility
of the horses, have long been the admiration of the'
visitanu, as well as of the inhabitants of the metropo-
lis, and we are confident that this fine body of snen,
who spontaneously' solicited permission to go
foreign service, will acquit themselves in away=
I.will be honourable to themselves, and Worthy of the
sentiments they entertain of the cause and service in
' which they are embarked. The squadron that
wheeled to the left from the Barracks proceeded to
I Guildford, where it halted for the night, and is ex-
pected to reach Portsmouth to-night, where the troops
will embark to-morrow. The other squadron, which
i went by Kensington, were quartered, last night, at
Egham and Staines, and will arrive at Portsmouth
to-morrow. The reason assigned for taking different
routes, is the accommodation of the innkeepers, and
also of the troops, whose arrival on successive days
`will prevent unnecessary delay at Portsmouth, and
1-iive greater facility to the embarkation. The two
squadrons which marched yesterday morning, are

A letter from an Officer of the sth division of the

four times, but as often recollecting the 22d of July,

shall remain until the Marquis of WELLINGTON gets
hold of the castle, which he has been besieging for
the last week; it has been rather a tough job, and we
have lost a good many, particularly of the Guards and
Highlanders. M. Choisseul has dammed the castle with

other ports, with which there is now a brisk trade
with Englrind, we get abundance of English articles,

is so dear :—fresh butter ss. per lb.—English cheese ,

wretched country. What with the depredauoas of the
Trench and the Guerillas, it is left bare of every

Colonel Sitenaarr, now second in command at
Seville, is son to Lieutenant-General EaCEaRICTT who I
commenced his career at Belleisle, under General 1
STUDHOLME HUDGSON. He served in all the Colonial
war, and acquired the highest adogitun for his dis-
tinguished conduct, from Sir W. Howe, and Sir H.
CLINTON, in the various actions be was in on that
service. In Ireland, at the battle of Arklow, under
the gallant General Nernitara, and several Other ac-
tions he was in, in that rebellion, he obtained the
high approbation of Lord CAAIDEM and the Marquis
of CoanwarAas, who, at the particular request of the
Noble Marquis to Field-Marshal his Royal Highness
the Duke of Yoax, Commander in Chief; he was ap-
pointed a Brigadier-General. He was afterwards
sent to British North America, and was directed by
his Grace the Duke of PORTLAND too look into the
expenditure of Newfoundland ; and, by the able ar.
rangements which he made, a prodigious saving
arose to the public. During a long course of honour-
able and successful service, with patient firmness, he
has fought and bled for every thing that is dear to
man—the liberties of Europe, and the preservation
of his beloved country. He is now a Colonel of Fen-
sible Infantry, which he levied. He has given a son
(Colonel Similarly) to the service, which, we hope,
will be an honour to it, who has served in the four

Dauav-Lais TurArax.—The Comedy of As yen'
Lite it, was last night performed here, ror the putt
pose of introducing two new performers to the Lon.
don Stage, a Mr. Puu.r.res, from Bath, in the cha-
Teeter of the Dile, and a Mr. GLansvAugs, from the
York Thtatre, in that of Orlando. Neither of the
characters require any remarkable degree of talents,
but it may be observed of the new performers, that
they both acquitted themselves very respectably, and
that if they are not likely to become very shining,
they may, at least, be useful actors. BANNISTER, in
Tovehnnie, and Miss MELLOW, in Audrey, revived
e recollections of our old friends KING and Miss
'Porn, not very much to the advantage of the former
—it- would, however, in the present state of the Stage,
not be easy to find more adequate.representatives of
the two characters. Miss DUNCAN gave a lively por-
trait of Resafinel, and on the whole the play was very
respectably performed.

COVENT-GARDEN. SINALESPEARVS Tragedy of
Hamlet was last night performed at this Theatre, and
afforded us more than ordinary pleasure, when we
mentally compared it with the travertie of this excel-
lent play, which the other House has recently pre.
salted. Mr. Youno supported the character of Hamlet,
which is one of his most successful essays. We have
repeatedly attended his personation of the Danish
Prince, but never recollect him to have displayed a
more correct conception of the character than he did
last night. Mrs. Poleax's demeanour and her
nice discrimination, in the closet scene, the only op-
portunity for the exertion of talent which the character
of the Qum presents, attaches a degree of interest
to a part, which, in ordinary hands, would pass un-
noticed.—The part of Othelia was well filled by Miss
BOLTON.

Tees, three men were unfortunately killed in a well,
by mephitic air. A man of the name of James In-
gledew went down first, to repair some part of the
wall, near the bottom, when he instantly expired. The
other two immediately followed to his assistance, and
shared the same fate. Ingledew has left a widow
and five children to lament his loss—the other two
were young men.
Thursday morning, as a company of ship.wrights
