FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, Acre. 31.—Several Letters received from
the Grand Army, speak of fresh successes having been
gained by the Grand Army over the Russians. On
the 1-ith there was a very brisk affair between the ad-
vanced guards, in which the Russians were beaten;
and, on the 18th, Smolensko was taken by the French
troops.—(Gazette de France, Sept. 1.)
AUG. 31.—We have to-day received several pri-
vale letters from the Grand Army : they announce
that on the 18th, in the morning, our troops entered
Smolensko. It appears that the Russians had first
determined to &fetid this place, which they had armed
and fortified ; but the rapid arrival of the French
Army entirely disconcerted t. eir projects. We fell
upon the enemy with such impetuosity, says one of,
these letters, that they had not time to recontioitre,l
and entered the town in full gallop, whilst they were
even in it. They tied with such rapidity that they
left all their artillery upon the ramparts. We have
taken many equipages and considerable magazines.—
Our troops are full of ardour, the country in which
they have entered is one of the most fertile in Russia ;
it is covered %%itb villages, and offers the greatest re-
sources to the army.
To-clay the Senate had an extraordinary meeting,
under the Presidency of the Prince Arch-Chancellor.
—(Journal de l' Empire.)
Serr..l.—:l'o-dly the Senate again assembled.—
(Journal I' Empire, Sept. 2.)
SEPT. Y.—We pace to-day received private letters
from the Army, dated the HOth inst. The head-quer.
ters were at Smolensko ; this town was, as we have
already stated, taken after some very brilliant affairs,
in which the enemy suffered enormous loss. A part
of the town became a prey to the flames. The enemy
was briskly pursued ; we have taken from them much
artillery, and a great number of prisoners.—(Journal
de l'Empire, Sept. 3.)
The Conservative Senate had an extraordinary
sitting at two o'clock to-day, under the Presidency of
his Serene Highness the Prince Arch-Chancellor.—
(G=eite de France.)

According to letters from Smoleusko, dated the
19th instant, the two affairs which preceded the
taking of that town, have been brilliant, and
truly glorious for the French arms. The Russians
vanquished, before departing, set fire in several places
to the town, which burned for 36 hours. It would
have been entirely consumed, but for the devotion
and courage of the French troops in stopping the
progress of the flames. On the 19th, there was still a
more fortunate affair, in which 40,000 men engaged
on each side. The enemy were defeated, and reptis.
ed four leagues beyond the field of battle. 'rho lees
of the'French, compared to that of the Rushing, hi'
in the proportion of one to ten.—(Gazette tic France,
Sept. 3.)
L Private letters inform us, that after the most
wise manFeuvreg, end a very brisk engagement be-
tween the advanced parties, Smolensk% in which
the Russians had concentrated their forces, had fallen
into our power. This place was, on the 18th of
August, occupied by the French army, who fotind
in it immense quantities of provisions and ammuni-
tion. Already do our light troops inundate the
Toad from Smolensk° tq Moscow, which is only a
few days' march distant.
The Senate had another extraordinary Meeting
yesterday.—(Journal de Paris, Se*. 24
rOPENUAGEN, AUG. 15.—According to intent.
vice fiom St. Petersburgh, the Emperor Alexander
had armed in that city from the army.—(Journei de
Paris, Sept. 3.)
Nl(kusaw, Au°. 14.—According to private intel-
ligence, more than 200,060 men have passed the
Duna, at Witepsk and Polotik. The Emperor is
with this army. Another considerable corps, under
the Prince of Eckmuhl, has passed the Dnieper, at
Mohilo w,
Ancusr 15.—The General of Division, Kosinski,
has gone from lAblin to Sedlec, to organize the
wrmed fJrce there; all the departments, to the ex-
tent of their means, and with equal seal end activity,
second his opettitions. Our town has sent to Sedlec
a considerable flirt of its disposable National Guard?
Cracow his also set on foot and dispatched some
hundreds of elm comphitely ;quipped. General
