LONDON:
SATCRD4E, OCTOBER 21, ISM

Paris Papers were received last night to the 18th
inst. containing the TWENTY-SECONO BULLETIN of
the French army, dated Moscow, the 27th ult. and
there are also letters of the 30th, which will be
found very interesting. In these accounts NAPO-
LEON has not transmitted any communicatiou respect-
ing his plan of condocting the campaign ; but is busi-
ly employed in organising the new form of Govern-
inept for Moscow, and seemingly with as much com-
posure as he would regulate the affairs of Ms own fa-
mily. The French army are cantoned in that city, and
huts are building for their accommodation—it appears
they have p'enty of previ►ions of all kinds, and have
discovered several magazines of sugar, furs, &e. as
well as many ether valuable elfkts, in the cellars
which had escaped the fury of the flames. The Rus-
sian army had retired upon the Kalouga and Toula ;
the latter place is 112 miles south of Moscow, and
contains the greatest manufactory of arms in
Russia. The French advanced-guard is upon the
I'ikra, which we suppose means Pocroo, about 60
miles from Moscow•.

The Times and Post of this day, are quite elated
•ith joy at the meagre Bulletin, and would have us
believe that NAPOLZON is eau:4l in a trap at Mos-
cow, from which he cannot escape. The Post is ra-
ther the most sanguine of the two, and expresses
Its joy in the following language :-
44 The intelligence from Russia which we yester-
day had the happiness to communicate to our Rea-
ders, was such as cannot have failed to elate every
honest heart with joy and exultation. The EI4PEKOR
firm to his patriotic and magnanimous purpose ; the
unisemal Russian nation is in arms ; the merciless
Invader la in the heart of their Ere.,.;-, assailed on
all sides by unbroken and insinrit);e soldiers ; while
the enemy are reduoed to a mere defensive position
In the midst of the ruins of the desolated capital."
We shall forbear to make any comments opts this
paragraph, leaving it to our Readers to judge for
thew• ! -3.

The itussian peasantry in the province of Mos-
cow are beginning, even amidst scenes of carnage
and desolation, to enjoy a temporary glimpse of hu-
man sympathy ; and after ages of more than brutal
oppression, find themselves treated by their enemies
like humau beings—the hereditary chains of their
barbarous slaiery are, for a while, to be unrivettoti,
and they will be permitted to taste, though in a
qualified degree, some of the sweets of natural
liberty. Nothing but an invasion of their ter-
ritory could effect any alteration in the political
co.otitution of the ilussien Empire. The authority
of Atrx %MIER is supported by force, and acknow-
ledged through fear; and had he been able to protect
his arbitrary system, by a pacific policy with other
nations, he would have had main to apprehend from
any revolution or change taking place among the semi.
barbarians within the boundaries of his vast empire.
The very Constitution of his Government precludes
almost the possibility ill such an event, which, in-
deed, could only happen with the Nobles, as the
lower orders arc, like cattle ,transferred from owe eat
of owners to another; they weer the same tom-
*lion of slavery, and remain content with here-
dit°TY oppression; flee tioveteign's pleasure is their
law, and his combeds ire directed by the same autho-
rity. That law being established by precedent,
perpetuates their slavery witheot affording them any
prospect of change, or redress; and when one Ty-
rant is deposed, it is only to make way for another,
who rules them with the same despotic power. Un-
der the dynasty of the Czars, no sigightened rule of
thinking has been allowed to meads, or mend the
°Woos defects of the Government; every skeet of
;onius and improvement being subservient to the ea-
pricious will of the Autocrat. In such a state of habi-
tual subordination, the subjects never attempt to in-
dulge in desires which Government does Dot thick pro-
Per for them to gratify ; and it is probable thepotoold
bare continued iu the same torpid state of animal
silvery, and their chains have remained riveted for
'get, had not the pride, weakness, and folly of
ALEXANDER ,brought into his territories the 'Wiwi-
eus Legions of the Enesatoa of FaAncz, who ap-
Petrs to be a destined instrument in the hands of
I? rovideuce to chastise the nations of Europe.
