ed his former style of writing which he an
peared to have lost, after his defeat at Mos.

the French experienced in Russia. We
state Ills fact merely to shew the absurdity
OF a report in circulation, such as that he

loss OF 10000 men only, * tina, ne is ahou,
re-entering Russia with an army OF 800, 900
