we Continue cur extracts from French
papers received Yesterday. We give this
day the third Bulletin of the French Grand
Army. The Bulletin contains but a summa-
ny OF corps, commanders, positions, and
movements, which, however, exhibit such
an amount of force, of combination of plans,
OF experienced direction and able execution,
as to add considerably to our already seri-
Gus apprchensions for the issue of the CON
fiict, il it comes to be decided by the fortune
OF arms. Our only hope is, that the system
adopted by Russia being entirely defensive,
and the means of subsistence being removed
from the country through which the French
are to advance, famine may accomplish wha,
we profess to entertain no hope of from the
