Indians who were runners to the southern
tribes with the news of Winchester's defeat,

In the Paris Moniteur of the 10th OF ia
nuary last, we find that there is an impor
tant note ON some English paragraphs, in
which the determination of the French
government to renew the war in Russia
with increased vigor and numbers, and 10
continue the war in Spain, fully appears

with French army nearly twice as strong
as in the last campaign. At the same time
the French army in Spain will he reinforc

with 1000 cavalry and 10000 infantry. -
This intelligence the Paris Moniteur pro

1t then appears not only that the nfTairs
of Bonaparte in Russia and Spain, have been
extravagantly misrepresented by the Eng
lish ministry, but that he is animated with
more obstinate resolution than heretofore
to make extraordinary excrtions during
this season to effect the conquest of both
his continental enemies. The Moniteur
invariably speaks the language of the
French government. Bah. finer.
