feelings of humanity. The fact seemed altogether
so irreconcileable with the dispatches from Lord
CATHCART, published in a Gazette Extraordinary, thdt
people in general were slow to give it credit : indeed
it was confidently asserted in the City that the Nine-

feenth Bulletin was a forgery ; though this was im.

possible, but upon the supposition that a whole Aro,
tsikur (that of the 3d instant) had been fabricated for
the purpose. At a late hour every false hope of this
find was taken away by a Bulletin issued from the
Foreign Office, of which we subjoin a copy. The
Bulletin alluded to does not, it is true, admit that the
Russians were defeated but Unhappily none of its
dates are late enough to invalidate any of the French
statements ; and the occupation of Moscow by the
enemy, whatever sacrifice that may have cost him,

NAPOLEON has, It it true, gained the winter guar-

." A dispatch has been received from Lord CATII-

His Lordship inclJses the folleivieg offscialAccount,

Russian army from the time Prince Kurtmer took

the command to the Bth September. His Lordship
had not ascertained any subsequent movements, but
he understood that a change of position was deter-
mined on, of the particulars of which, however, no
ntelligence had been received

Our army was thus contiuually reinforcing as it got

placed at his disposal by all the Continental States.
It Was not long before this plan, directed and execut.
ed by Prince Koutousoff, afforded a grand and bril.
Kant result. Even before his arrival at the army, he
had caused the reserves, commanded by General
Milloradovitshe, and the Militia of the Government
of Moscow, under the orders of Lieutenant-General
Count Morcoff, to be directed upon Mojaisk. The
village of Borodin, situated 12 'eras in advance of
