the ofsacnes winch the cannon sltpt
had made in their condensed masses
(e grieyous want Of skill in their
Generals, we fear, to present con
deased masses to cannon shot ! and
dispersed them on all sides. The
battle ended at two o'clock. The
Russians appear to have effected
their retreat. Their loss must GER
taialy have been great, though il is
doubtless exaggerated in the bulle-
tin; for if there were only IL or
$4,000 killed &taken, whence come.
they to have lost in the whole, be.
tween 40 and $4,000.
The French acknowledge the loss
Of 10000 men.
BY a private letter from Paris of
the 18th ult. we learn that the tele.
graphic dispatches had reached that
capital. announcing the arrival Of
fke Fsench at Moscow. 1t is far
ther stated that the Russians had lost
$4,000 men in the battles which pre-
ceaed the occupation of that city--if
so, there mast have been other en-
gasemsnts after that of Mosk wa--
and lastly, it is added :. we shall
saon have peace with the Russians"
This, ge sppPcbend, is to be under
stood rather as the aspiration after
q desirable eveat than the positive
aYerslent Of it.

Mr. Rassel!'s last Letter.

We are glad to fnd, thar M. Cole
man; the able editor of the New York
Evening Posi-, has commenced an en-
quiry into Mr.. Russell's lest letter.
Whatever may have been the object of
the letter, its effect (if the statement
made in it should be received with full
faith) will be to pro.ract the war, and to
furnish additional matter for vulgar g.
buse against those WHO are opposed to
it. Although we are ia. from believing
that our late minister at the Court ofSt.
James would be guilty of a downright
perversion of facts to CRAFTY his owa.
feelings, or to answer the purposes OF
his party, still the communication which
he has made respecting his last inter
view with Lord Castlcreagh,i is evident
~ tmctared with the stain of partyism,
and calculated to cost q general imputa-
ton Of dishonesty upon that respectable
portion of the people of the U. States,
who are distinguished by the honor
able appellation Of FeaeraGsts or Peace
Men. Indeed, there are features
in it, SO strongly resembling TIE half
formed bantling Of intrigue and dis
membermeut, which Jno. Henry found
not long since at the bottom Of meal
:ub;' that fone alrros. is tempted to
believe, they are children of ono and
the same father. This single remark
opens TO our view wide field Of dis
cussion and comparison, upon which,
were it not for the expectation, that it
will attract the notice Of more adj:
observer, we might be induced to enter
without further ceremony. One oU,er-
walton, however, We beg leave t. make,
because il is more than probable that SO
smoH circurr stance will escape Mr..
Coleman's notice; aid that is: what
pity it is, that our Minister should have
had SO e:rjressiUe conntenance, as t.
have ",changed color" at the bare men
ton Of our friends in Congress" a
pity in either case; whether tho British
Secretary, by calling certain class of
people in Congress " our friends in
Congress, meant thereby to distinguish
those who were enemies to the 1var, or
those who were enemies TO Mcmseives
and to .heir ewn country. Had the .frst
been his meaning, our Minister might
have spared "his bushes ;" because in
the very next breath, the Secretary ex-
planned his idea, by saying friends to
peace - if the last, our Minister, by
thus be,raying his emotions at the very
beginning of the disclosure, lost the
happy opportunity Of hearing from the
lips of the British Secretary himself, a
full confirmation of all that we have
been told absut British influence and
BritiM gold : a piece of intelligence
which would have entitled him at once
to ffy thousand dollars.
