While there remains tuft a doubt as to the fate of
the French army which advanced into Russia, with
so much parade and ostentation, and has since taken
flight amid 44 such solemn and religious silence," to
use the words of the French Bulletin, which descri •
bed the retreat of,the Russians, after the cOnflagra-
nen of Moscow ; all eyes are turned with anxiety to
the spot *here BONAPARTE is supposed to be in per-
son. We have no positive clue by which to trace.the
topography of his present or fecent ' residence—but
most assuredly there is, at this moment, a general tae-
lief, throtighout the whole of France, that he is na
more; and that the Ides of March, which *ere char.,
