By the Dick, from Bordeaux we have
French papers to the 4sh ult. T'hey con-
tain the French Bulletins to No IS. the last
OF which is dated st M9.cow, Oct. 9. It

ed upon Kolonga; that skirmi.hes took
place daily, in which the French were vic
torious; that the Duke of Elchingen, with
his division, was at Boghordock and that
Murats division was at 'Iroitsa II also
states, that the able Russian enera.. Prince
Bagra,ian, had died Of his wounds; and that
the Inhabitants of Moscow we're returning
to their homes; and that Napoleon was in
good health, and doing all he could to make
them comfortable.
On this news the evening Post observes,
&c Il will be rccollected, that Ponaparte en-
tered Moscow on the 18Th OF September :;
from the above mentioned Bulletin, il ap
pears. that onthe 9th ofOctober he remain
ed in the same situation, having done moth
ing more towards the conquest of Russia.
Thisis certainly against him and if he is
| obliged TO remain there through the winter,
although he may be in ''good health,'' he
will be indisposed before spring.

and the French troops in Spain and Por-
