ULLETINS. from the twent v.Gixth and twenty-seventh French Bulletins received esterdav, and dated the 23d and 27th 'ultimo, it be sN.n the French army is in full retreat.  That his ietr,g,ide movements have been equally precipitate and disastrous, these will be found sufficiently to prove. After murdering hundreds of poor wretches whose only alledged offence Yr.'s that they had obeyed those who had a ri„bt to command them, we find BUONAPARTE is lOUs enough to endeavour to gain credit with the world for humanity. We are told that it was proposed to burn the bosses which temained within twenty leagues of Moscow, but to this, his gentle nature would not let him consent. Nothing. however, is more clear, than that he had not the means of effreting this, or it would have been done. This is, in our estimation, fully proved by the advantages which are set forth in this Bulletin, as likely to result from giving the Russians such a lesson. Several parts of these Bulletins appear to us studiously confused, and it is amusing eno,igh to mark the swag.2et ing tone in which they tell of their own discomfiture. The straits they are driven, to put a good rice on things. may be guessed from the following sente,iee" It is beautiful weather, the roads arc excellent ; it is the end c f Au umn, this weather will last eight days longer, and at that pet iod we shall have arrived in our new -position." This is delightful!. It is enough to make any common person wish to be there to enjoy such beautiful weather Bt'O'APARTC has unexpectedly discovered. That the pe•iod at ‘vhich the .Bulletin was written (Oct. 27th) was the end of Autumn might have been discovered elsewhel e, hut we know no part of the habitable globe, save that where BUONAPARTE now is, in which it could he awe. tained that beautiful weather at this period of the year would c.hntinue for eight days !—Another part of the same Bulletin is equally interesting. It states, that "At seven in the nsorning 6000 Cossacks, who had .tepped into the wood, made a general hu:.?.a in the rear of his position, and took six pieces Alf cannon whie were parked. The Duke of IST Ri A -et off a gallop with all the horse-guards ; t' is horde was sabred. brought hack, and thrown into the liver ; the artillery it had taken was recovered, and several of its wattgore: wee captured; 600 of these Cossacks were killed, wounded, or t •ken." From which it should seem, that this lorde t the six thousand Cossacks) were sabred, brought back, and thrown into the river ; and after this fine statement. we are told that only six hundred of them were killed, wotsnded, or taken ! ! Besides the 16th ind 27th Bulletins, the French Papers contain CA Pl' A REL LI'S official reports of the operations of the army commanded by him and SOUHAM, since the siege  Nor. v).  giving f Burgos was,rai,ed. Some-of these had already and as the interest of the others would not compensate for their length, we shall content ourselves with substance. After pretending that he Castle of Burg-os built with earth, and would have fallen had it been attaoki.,l accolding to the rules of aft, CAFFARELLI rlctF.crihe, several actions with the cavalry of our rear-guard, in one of which, although he status the French to have been containtly successful, he rather awkwaidly acknowledges, that " by some inconceivable fatality, the division of-dragoons which 1 .t saou'u have sustained some corps that had made a most htilhant and decisive charge, took itself off to the right, at full trot, and disappeared." Had not this happened, atl our cavalry would have been destroyed; nay, Lold
