he long and unprecedented interval
between the 28th s. 29th bulletin, being
from the llth of Nov. to the Sd OF Dec.
25 days in all, makes us suspect the
genuin,ness of the last and our sus-
picioa is much strengthened by the ne
oessity of counteraoling the effect OF
Russian accounts in France, as well rs
by the little credit attached to il by the
French people, who at later date, still
believe their emperor killed in battle
near Smolensko. We say later, be.
Cause the same vessel which brought
the 29,h bulletin and the Bordeaux pa
pers up TO the 22d of Dec. lett that
place six days latter, when the above re.
port, instead OF being contradlcted, was
sill generally credited. We will take
the bulletin, however, as il is and, dc
ierring further comments upon the ac-
knowledged losses OF The French, until
the whole is received, will only state a
lew general facts, which leads Us to
certain and inevitable conclusions. The
main and the only road TO wilma from
Smolensko, is through Minsk to
which place Bonaparte was evidently
directing his course Near Borissow,
however, about half way between Smo.
lensko and Minsk, Bonaparle falls in
with lchitcha, off. who gives him q
battle, which is acknowledged as
/" dreadful affair"
The French, as usual, are victories
but behold, Bonaparte, instead OF put
suing the main road, cleared o. HE enc

What is this but that Tchitchagoff
made him pay dear price for his per
sonat escahe or in other words, he has
completely defeated him /; We pledge
ourselves for the confirmation of this by
the Rnssisn official account fthat bat
tie II appears further, that no parlic
ular mention is made of the main grand
army and that Ouc!inot's corps, which
Bouaparie had probably joined after his
escape, was alone engaged /; what then
became of the rest and what is the
