The Twenty-fifth Bulletin of the French Army in
Vk,tteis has reached us since our last publication. It
Was contained in Paris Papers to the I2th instant,
which have been received in town. This extraordi-
”2ty document (and it is the most singular production
of the kind we have ever seen) is dated on the 90th
October, from Nikosko, an insignificant village about
'3O miles from Moscow, on the roads to Kalouga,
Tula., and Kalomna, whither BONAPARTE is now
evidently directing his flight— retreat we cannot call
it, after the perusal of his own Bulletin.
Dy moving in this direction he thinks he will
command the resources of the fertile province of
Riazan, in which the above places are situated ;
and he will thus make a detour, which will, for a
time, perhaps, keep his army out of the line of
toad by which he entered Moscow, and by which all
possibility of retreat is cut off by the various Russian I
aimies, now become more formidable and more nu-

merons than ever. Towards Smolensk he durst not
venture :—fresh whirlwinds of Cossack cavalry, in
which he has been so often enveloped, are waiting
for there, under their invincible Hetman PLA-
IN/P. His army may therefore be now considered
tull drive to its destruction. Kalouga, Tula,
oge.Esdomna, have no doubt shared the fate of
Noscow ; and unless the incorrigible Ruffian who
governs France, for the first time in his life, spares
the effusion of the blood of his subjects, by suppli-
cating mercy from the Russians, not a man of his
once numerous train will ever revisit his native coun-
rrf. the miscreabt himself, attended by a small
eiiort, may escape-Into France.-but even here the
gbabllities are against him. The Cossacks are,
swarming in every direction between him and Poland;
and we have every reason to believe, that thew re-1
cent activity has been greatly increased by the pro-1
**Lion of PLAT ler, offering a reward for the cap.
t`of the Corsican's person.
OKRTUSOFF'S victory over MURAT is obscurely allu-
ded to in this Bulletin—it is described as a mere affair,
of the Cossack. , but it is admitted that 100 baggage-
waggons of SEBASTIANI'S artillery tell into their hands.
We cannot sufficiently applaud the dexterity with
whisk the Bulletin writer-brings himself off from this
aft* The Cossacks were in the camp, it would irp-
p....;llll4re.the. French could mount their horses, but
I ctkinirciii4antrl which was sent to support them
Was twin pieced. They did not recover their bag-
gage.waggons, however, and as for the 38 pieces of
cannon, taken by KUTUSOI7, no mention whatever is
made of them.

There are a few admissions in this Bulletin which
fill ns with satisfaction : " Moscow is nor a military
position and possesses no longer any political impor-
tanee."...4 The enemy slew many Cossacks, who an-
noy our cavalry."" We must now think of winter
quarters, our cavalry particularly require it."
Where these winter quarters are to be found we
know not—and the Bulletin writer is equally in the
dark. The Editor of The Journal de P Empire, however,
helps him out of his dilemma : he tells us, in a la-
boured comment on the retreat oithe French army,
that " our friends, our brothers, our sons, assembled
round the flags of their country, are going to enjoy

some moments of repose"—thai they are then to
march, at the first moment of the favourable season,
wherever victory calls them." Here we have a threat
of another visit to Moscow in spring. But we may
• fairly presume, from what we now know of the Rus-
sians, that the repose to be thus enjoyed. will be pre.
lite', that which a man can enjoy after being run
through the body by the bayonet.
Every day may now be expected to bring us details
of fresh disasters to the French army. They talk of
fighting battles for their winter quarters—we firmly
believe that their army is not in a condition to stand
each another affair as that of Mojaisk ; and besides,
the Russians are now numerically stronger in every
direction. In short, we bargain for nothing less than
a total annihilation of the invading army, and that
before Christmas.

Just as this Paper was going to Press, the arrival
of the Adventure packet from New-York, with a
Messenger and dispatches, was announced at the
Post-Office. The letters and Newspapers are not
expected sooner than to-morrow.

A Gottenburgh Mail arrived last night. 'The in•
telligence brought by it from the Russian armies is,
Rot so recent as that which has been already received.
The account of the operations of the brave Wnactr-
-4220DE previous TO his re-occupation of Moscow, will
be read, however, with much pleasure.
Saturday afternoon Captain DESBOROUGH arrived
in Town, in twelve days from Lisbon, which. gave
rise to a report that dispatches had been received
horn the Marquis of Wrazugaros; -but the dispatches
brought by Captain DESBOROUGH were from Mr.
STUART at Lisbon. No intelligence had been re-
trived at Lisbon from the Army for a week before
kis departure.

IN FRANCE.

We have more than once had occasion to inform
the public that the late revolutionary movements in
France were believed not to be confined to the
Capital, but probably embraced widely extended
ramifications, which were only suspended from co-
operation by the unfortunate issue of the central ex-
plosion.—We have now to state a most important
fact, received "this morning from an intelligent Cor-
respondent at Plymouth, on whose communications
,we have generally found that the utmost reliasce
may be placed:—

On Thursday se'nnight (the sth instant) a French
'General (some assert one of the Ex-Royal Family)
sailed from Plymouth Sound in the ARMIDE frigate
—a circumstance which at the time excited much
conjecture as to his destination. It is now, we are
informed, ascertained that the ARMIDE proceeded to
Quiberoon Bay, where she landed the General, who,
being joined by some loyalists of distinction who
waited his arrival, instantly hoisted the standard of
the Bourbons. The effect is said to have been elec.
tric—the neighbouring country is reported to have risen
as if by one instantaneous impulse, and when the ac-
counts came away a strong force had been regularly
organised, and means were taking to spread the pa-
triotic flame.
On an event so important at this momentous crisis'
we regret that we have it not in our power to speak
with absolute confidence, though we have every rea-
son to believe that the intelligence which we now
communicate, will soon be confirmed. Our hesita-
tion in vouching for its absolute accuracy, arises
only from the circumstance of the channel by which
the intelligence reached Plymouth, being still un-
known to as.—A day or two at farthest will ascer-
tain this point.

This day arrived Mails from Malta and Gibraltar,
by which we have received a ♦ariety of important

:ations.

Our Gibraltar letters, which are dated the 3d inst,
announce a fact, which we have great pleasure in
communicating, that the troops at Alicant have at
last been put in motion [may we hope still in time
to be of serv,ce ?] On boutr's marching to Alba
cete, Major-General CLINTON, who has now*the com-
mand, marched to Alcoe, which will prevent the
return of the former upon Valencia, should he meet
with any reverse.

All accounts agree in stating, that the yellow fever
is committing great ravages in Souwes army: War
are we free from all apprehension for thebealtir of e
brave countrymen in the Peninsula,. law*.

We are sorry to learn that the Plague was raging
with great violence at Constantinople when the latest
accounts left that city. The deaths were upwards
of a thousand daily.

Saturday arrived at Portsmouth the SaLcrrra fri-
gate, Captain HOPE, from the Archipelago, bringing
home Sir Wu. OUSELEY, brother of his Excellency
Sir GORE OUSELEY, Bart. Ambassador at the Court
of Persia, with dispatches of considerable importance
with which he has since arrived in Town, from
the Persian Court. Sir WILLIAM OUSELEY em-
barked on board the SALCETTE at Smyrna. He lan-
ded with his dispatches on Saturday afternoon, and
proceeded to London. The SALCETTE has brought
several fine horses aid packages of valuable presents
from the King of PERSIA to the PRINCE REGENT,
'Friday she captured off the Isle of Wight the French
privateer Mercure, which arrived with her. The
principal intelligence brought by the SALCETTE is as
follows She left Smyrna on the 27th September,
at which time the plague had ceased. She touched,
on the 10th October, at Mahon, aad found there the
OCEAN, TREMENDOUS, REPULSE, ARMADA, GORGON,
UNDAUNTED, and some small vessels refitting. The
POMPEZ joined the fleet on the same day from Eng_
land, having received some damage in her masts,
and had one man killed and several wounded, by
lightning, the day before. The SULTAN had also been
struck by lightning, which disabled her main-mast :
she had gone to Malta for a new one. The enemy's
fleet was in state quo. On the 22d, she anchored at
Alicant, and left there the MALTA, (Admiral Hot.-
LOWELL )) FAME, and BRISTOL. The expedition from
Sicily was still at Alicant, under General MACICEN`
TM The enemy had retired from before that for
tress. On the 2d of November she left Gibraltar'
where the INVINCIBLE and STATELY were refitting,
The CLEOPATRA was cruising M the Gar, and the
RossuLus on the point of sailing for Lisbon and Eng-
land. On the 6th she exchanged numbers with the

It is stated that, on the recommendation of the
Marquis of WELLINGTON, a veteran battalion for gar •
rison duty is to be formed of the men of regiments in
the Peninsula, who are not capable of active service
in the field, and that the Commandant of it will most
probably be of his Lordship's recommendation.

Saturday, about four o'clock, the Princess CHAR-

Letters from Calcutta say, that the Portuguese are
renewing their applications at the Chinese Court, in
the name of the Prince of the Brazils, for permission to
send an embassy to the Emperor at Pekin ; requesting
also permission for a Catholic Bishop and priest to re-
side at the capital.
A letter from Madras states, that the following me-
lancholy spectacle was lately witnessed there:—." A
young Gentoo widow, about 21 years of ale, came to
the Commanding Officer, asking permission to burn
herself with her deceased husband ; he used every ar-
, gument to dissuade her from it, but in vain ; her fa-
mily, and even her own mother, abused her for hesi-
tating, by going to the Commanding Officer. hey
were very poor, and did not provide sufficient wood
and oil : horrid to relate, the poor creature was heard
repeatedly to cry out, " more fire! more fire!" and
shriek with agony, until the noise of the instruments
droWned her cries."

The premises in Park-lane, Leeds, in the posses-
sion of Messrs. LEPTON and GeotrGE Donson, are at
this time fitting up as Barracks for the reception of
the military, and are calculated to accommodate
1400 infantry.
A letter from Palermo, dated September 28, says,
“ The King, understanding that the orders lately
issued against the furtive exportation of grain, have
been shamefully evaded, has issued another decree,
confirming all the former orders, and subjecting those
who shall be guilty of clandestinely exporting wheat,
barley, or pulse out of the kingdom, if they should
be nobles, to imprisonment in a fortress for life; and
if of a meaner rank, to the galleys Er life, and con-
fiscation of their goods : and with the punishment of
death, if the same should be done, or attempted,
with an armed force."
