CAPTURE OF SEVILLE.

Downing Street, Sept. 23. 1812. It appears, by a dispatch from MajorGeneral Cooke, dated Cadiz, 30th August, that on the 27th, the city of Seville was taken by assault, by the corps under General La Cruz and Colonel Skerrit. It was defended by eight French battalions and two regiments of cavalry. The enemy left behind them valuable captures of horses, baggage, and money. Their loss has been very considerable, several officers, 200 prisoners, and two field-picces, were also taken.

The rapidity of the movements of the allied troops prevented the destruction of the bridge, which would have rendered success extremely difficult. Nothing can exceed the good behaviour of the whole of the allied troops, and the joy of the inhabitants.

The loss of the British consisted of Lieutenant Brett, royal artillery, and one man killed; Lieutenant Lewellyn, of the 95th regiment, and 12 men wounded.

General Maitland with his army had, on his landing, marched into the interior, but subsequently fell back upon Alicant, in consequence of the junction of Joseph Bonaparte with Suchet, at Valencia. General Maitland remained at Alicant on the 5th Sep

tember.

When Soult abandoned the siege of Cadiz, he collected his troops and marched upon Granada, leaving a small force in Seville, which, as has been already stated, was defeated and driven out of that place by the troops under Colonel Skerrett. Soult left Granada upon the 15th Sept. and effected a junction with Suchet on the 20th, at Jumilla. Ballasteros, following Soult closely, entered Granada on the 17th.

General Hill was at Toledo on the 23d,

and was expected at Madrid by the end of September.

Malaga was evacuated by the French on the 27th of August, the garrison whereof marched to join Soult.

It is calculated that the forces of Soult, Suchet, and Joseph Bonaparte, exceed 40,000 effective men.

THE NORTHERN WAR. DREADFUL BATTLE IN RUSSIA—BURNING OF MOSCOW, &c.

A pitched battle has been fought in Russia, the result of which has unfortunately been dreadful to the cause of that country. The 18th, 19th, and 20th French bulletins present a picture of the horrors of war, per haps unparalleled in history.

After the actions of Smolensk and Valentina, the Russians continued to retreat, follow. ed by the French, until the 5th September, when they were come up within a position with their right on the Moskwa, and their left on the left bank of the Kolagha. The force on each side amounted to 130,000 men. On that day some skirmishing took place; and the next was chiefly employed in reconnoitering, and in preparations for the dreadful battle, which was fought the day following; and which is thus described in the EIGHTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.

Emperor was surrounded by the Marshals On the 7th, at two in the morning, the in the position taken the evening before.At half-past five o'clock the sun rose without clouds-it had rained the preceding evening. "This is the sun of Austerlitz,” said the Emperor. Tho' but the month of September, it was as cold as a December in Moravia. The army received the omenthe drum beat-and the following order of the day was read:

"Soldiers, behold the field of battle you have so much desired, henceforth victory depends on you! It is necessary to us; it will give us plenty, good quarters for the winter, and a speedy return to your country. Behave yourselves as you did at Austerlitz, at Friedland, Vitepsk, at Smolensk-and that the latest posterity may speak of your conduct this day with pride that it may say of you,' He was at that great battle under the walls of Moscow." "At the Imperial camp on the heights of Bo

rodino, Sept. 7, at two o'clock, A. M." The army answered with reiterated acclamations. The ground on which the army stood was spread with the dead bodies of the Russians killed the preceding day.

Prince Poniatowsky, who was on the right, put himself in motion to turn the forest on which the enemy rested his left.The Prince of Eckmuhl marched on the skirt of the forest, the division Compans at the head. Two batteries of 60 cannon each, commanding the enemy's position, had been constructed in the night.

At six o'clock General Count Sorbier, who had armed the battery on the right with the artillery of the reserve of the guard, commenced the fire. General Pernetty, with 30 pieces of cannon, put himself at the head of the division Compans, (4th of the 1st corps,) who skirted the wood, turned the head of the enemy's position. At half-past six General Compans was wounded, at seven the Prince of Eckmuhl had his horse killed. The attack advanced, the musketry commenced.

The Vice-Roy, who formed our left, attacked and carried the village of Borodino, which the enemy could not defend, that village being on the left bank of the Kologha.

At seven the Marshal Duke of Elchingen put himself in motion, and under the protection of 60 pieces of cannon, which General Foucher had placed the evening before against the enemy's centre, bore upon the centre. A thousand pieces of cannon spread death on all sides.

At eight o'clock the positions of the enemy were carried, his redoubts taken, and our artillery crowned his heights. The advantage of position which the enemy's batteries had enjoyed for two hours, now be longed to us. The parapets which had been occupied against us during the attack were now to our advantage. The enemy saw the battle lost, which he thought had only commenced. A part of his artillery was taken; the rest was withdrawn to his lines in the rear. In this extremity he attempted to restore the combat, and to attack with all his masses those strong positions which he was unable to protect. Three hundred pieces of French cannon placed on these heights, thundered upon his masses, and his soldiers died at the foot of those parapets which they had raised with so much labour, and as a protecting shelter.

The King of Naples, with the cavalry, made various charges. The Duke of Elchingen covered himself with glory, and displayed as much intrepidity as coolness. The Emperor ordered a charge of the front, the right in advance; this movement made us masters of three parts of the field of battle. Prince Poniatowsky fought in the wood with various success.

There still remained to the enemy his redoubts to the right. General Count Morand marched thither, and carried them; but at October 1812.

nine in the morning, attacked on all sides, he could not maintain himself there. The enemy, encouraged by this advantage, made his reserve and his last troops advance to try his fortune again. The Imperial Guards form. ed a part of them. He attacked our centre, which formed the pivot to our right. For a moment it was feared that he might carry the village which was burnt; the division Friant advanced thither; eighty pieces of French cannon immediately arrest, and then annihilate the enemy's columns, which stood for two hours in close order, under the chain shot, not daring to advance, unwilling to retire, and renouncing the hopes of victory.The King of Naples decided their uncertainty. He caused the 4th corps of cavalry to make a charge, who penetrated through the breaches which our cannon shot had made in the condensed masses of the Russians, and the squadrons of their cuirassiers; they dispersed on all sides. The General of Division Count Caulaincourt, Governor of the Emperor's pages, advanced at the head of the 5th regiment of Cuirassiers, overthrew every thing, and entered the redoubt on the left by its gorge. From this moment there was no longer any uncertainty. The battle was gained. He turned upon the enemy the 21 pieces of cannon which were found in the redoubt. Count Caulaincourt, who had distinguished himself in this fine charge, has terminated his career. He fell dead, struck by a bullet; a glorious death, and worthy to be envied.

It was now two in the afternoon; the enemy had lost all hopes; the battle was ended, the cannonade still continued; the enemy fought for retreat and safety, but no longer for victory.

The loss of the enemy is enormous; from 12 to 13,000 men, and from 8 to 9000 Russian horses, have been counted on the field of battle; sixty pieces of cannon and 5000 prisoners have remained in our power. We have had 2500 killed, and thrice that number wounded. Our total loss may be estimated at 10,000 men; that of the enemy. at from 40 to 50,000. Never was there seen such a field of battle. Out of six dead bodies, there were five Russians for one Frenchman. Forty Russian Generals were killed, wounded, or taken; Gen. Bragration was wounded. We have lost the General of Division Montbrun, killed by a cannonbail; General Count Caulaincourt, who was sent to occupy his place was killed by a shot of the same kind, an hour afterwards.

The Generals of Brigade Compere, Plauzonne, Marion, and Hurat, were killed; seven or eight Generals were wounded, the most of them slightly. The Prince of Eckmuhl has received no injury. The French

troops

troops covered themselves with glory, and displayed their great superiority to the Russian troops.

Such, in a few words, is a sketch of the battle of Moskwa, fought a few leagues in the rear of Mojaisk, and 25 leagues from Moskow, near the little river Moskwa. We fired sixty thousand cannonshot, which are already replaced by the arrival of 800 artillery-carts, which passed Smolensk previous to the battle. All the woods and villages from the field of battle to this place are covered with dead and wounded. We have found here 2000 killed or amputated Russians.

A number of Generals and Colonels are prisoners.

The Emperor was never exposed; neither the foot nor horse-guards were engaged, or lost a single man. The victory was never uncertain. Had the enemy, when driven from his entrenchments, not endeavoured to retake them, our loss would have been greater than his; but he destroyed his army by keeping it from 8 o'clock until two, under the fire of our batteries, and in obstinately attempting to regain that which was lost. This was the cause of his immense loss.

Every one distinguished himself. The King of Naples, and the Duke of Elchingen, were peculiarly conspicuous.

The artillery, and particularly that of the guards, surpassed itself. The actions which have rendered this day illustrious shall be made known in detailed reports.

NINETEENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND

ARMY.

Moscow, September 16. After the battle of Moskwa, the French army pursued the enemy upon Moscow, by the three routes, Mojaisk, Svenigorod, and Kalouga.

The King of Naples was on the 9th at Koubiaskoe, the Viceroy at Rouza, and Prince Poniatowsky at Ferminskoe. The head-quarters were on the 12th transferred from Mojaisk to Peselina; on the 13th they were at the castle of Berwska; on the 14th, at mid-day, we entered Moscow. The enemy had raised on the Sparrow Mountain, two wersts from the city, some redoubts, which he abandoned.

Our advanced guard arrived in the cen tre of the city, was received by a fire of mus ketry, which issued from the Kremlin. The King of Naples ordered a battery of a few pieces of cannon to be opened, dispersed this rabble, and took possession of the Kremlin. We have found in the arsenal 60,000 new muskets, and 120 pieces of cannon, on their carriages. The most complete anarchy reigned in the city-some drunken madmen ran through its different quarters, and every where set fire to them. The Gover• ' nor Rostopchin had caused all the merchants and shop-keepers to be carried off, through whose instrumentality order might have been re-established. More than 400 French and Germans were arrested by his orders; in fine, he had taken the precaution of car rying off the firemen with the fire engines; so that the most complete anarchy has desolated this great and fine city, and the flames are devouring it. We have found in it considerable resources of every kind.

The Emperor is lodged in the Kremlin, which is the centre of the city, like a kind of citadel, surrounded by high walls. Thirty thousand wounded or sick Russians are in the hospitals, abandoned without succour, and without nourishment.

The Russians acknowledge that they lost fifty thousand men in the battle of the Moskwa. Prince Bagration was mortally wounded. A list has been made of the Russian Generals wounded or killed in the battle; it amounts to between forty-five and fifty.

TWENTIETH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.

Moscow, 17th Sept.

The Russians celebrated Te Deum for the battle of Polotsk; Te Deum was sung for the battle of Riga, for the battle of Ostrovno, and for that of Smolenske. According to the Russian accounts they were every where conquerors, and drove the French far from the field of battle.

It was in the midst of the Russian Te Deums that the army arrived at Moscow. They thought themselves conquerors. at least they endeavoured to make the popu lace think so, but well informed persons knew what was passing.

Moscow is the intrepot of Asia and of Europe. Her warehouses were immense. Every house was provisioned for eight months. It was only the evening before, and the day of our entrance, that the danger became known. We found in the house of the miserable Rostopchin, papers, and a letter half written. He fled without finishing it. Moscow, one of the finest and richest cities in the world, is no more.

Оп

On the 14th the Russians set fire to the Exchange, to the Bazar, and the Hospital. The 16th a violent wind rose-3 or 400 Russians set fire to the city in 500 different places at the saine time, by order of the Governor Rostopchin. Five-sixths of the houses are of wood--the fire spread with a prodigious rapidity. It was an ocean of flames. Churches, of which there were 1600, above 1000 palaces, immense magazines, nearly all have fallen a prey to the flames.

The Kremlin has been preserved. This loss is incalculable to Russia, for her commerce, and for her nobility, who had left all behind. We are not over-rating its value at several milliards. About 100 of these incendiaries have been caught, and they all declare they acted by orders of Rostopchin and the director of the police. Thirty thousand sick and wounded Russians have been burnt. The richest commercial houses in Russia have been ruined. The shock must be considerable. The clothing, the maga zines, and the appointments of the Russian army, have all been consumed-they have lost every thing. Nothing was removed, because it was always thought impossible for us to reach Moscow, and they were willing to deceive the people.

When they saw all in the hands of the French, they conceived the horrible project of destroying by fire this first metropolisthis holy city, the centre of the empire; and they reduced to poverty its wealthy inhabitants. This is the crime of Rostopchin, executed by felons liberated from prisons.

The resources which the army have found are thus considerably diminished. However, we have found, and are finding, many nccessaries. All the cellars were preserved from the fire, and the inhabitants during the last 24 hours saved many valuables. They endeavoured to stop the progress of the fire, but the Governor had taken the horrid precaution to withdraw or destroy all the fire engines.

The army is recovering from its fatiguos. We have abundance of bread, of potatoes, of cabbages, and other garden stuffs, of micat, of salted provisions, of wine, of brandy, of sugar, of coffee, and, in fine, provisions of all sorts.

The advanced guard is 20 wersts upon the road to Kassen, by which the enemy is retreating, and a French advanced post is on the road to St Petersburgh, where the enemy has no force.

The temperature is still that of autumn. The soldiers have found, and are finding, money, pelisses, and fur for the winter. Moscow was the depot of these articles.

TWENTY-FIRST BULLETIN OF THE

GRAND ARMY.

Moscow, September 20.

Three hundred incendiarics have been arrested and shot; they were provided with fuses, six inches long, which they had between two pieces of wood; they had also squibs, which they threw upon the roofs of the houses. The wretch, Rostopchin, had these prepared on the pretence that he wished to send a balloon full of combustible matter, amidst the French army. He thus got together the squibs and other materials necessary for the execution of his project.

The fires subsided on the 19th and 20th ; three quarters of the city are burned; among other palaces that beautiful one of Catharine, which had been newly furnished-not above a quarter of the houses remain.

While Rostopchin was taking away the fire engines of the city, he left behind him 60,000 muskets, 150 pieces of cannon, more than 600,000 balls and shells, 1,500,000 cartridges, 400,000 lbs. of gun - powder, 400,000 lbs. of saltpetre and sulphur. It was not till the 19th that the powder, saltpetre, and sulphur were discovered, at a fine establishment, half a league from the city,this is a matter of importance-we are now supplied with ammunition for two campaigns. We every day discover cellars full of wine and brandy.

Manufactures were beginning to flourish at Moscow; they are destroyed. The conflagration of this capital will throw Russia 100 years back.

The weather is becoming rainy; the greater part of the army is in barracks, in Mos

COW.

We have several official reports of the Russian Commander-in-Chief, Kutuzow, relative to the battle of Borodino, in which he claims a decided victory over the French; and states, as his reason for retreating, and for abandoning Moscow, that he was weakened by his losses in the battle, and that the enemy having formed two new corps to act against his reserve, and the reinforcements he had expected not arriving, he thought it most prudent to fall back upon a position beyond Moscow, where he hoped to annoy the whole line of the enemy, from Smolensk to Moscow, and,by maneuvering,compel him to change his whole line of operation.

Upon the fall of Moscow, the Emperor Alexander issued a proclamation to his people, wherein, after lamenting the calamities which had befallen that city, he declares his determination to resist all overtures of the enemy, and to persist in the contest until he shall gain by conquest a secure and ho

nour.

nourable peace. These documents we are obliged to defer till our next number.

By a dispatch from General Essen it appears that the French have fortified their positions before Riga, and are acting on the defensive; the garrison having made several successful sorties upon them.

THE AMERICAN WAR.

Upon the declaration of war against this country by the American government, orders were issued for the detention of American vessels by British cruisers, but no letters of marque were granted, under an expectation that when it was known in America that our orders in Council were revoked, the said declaration, and other hostile measures of the United States would be annulled. It appears, however, that this change in the measures of the British government has had no effect in conciliating that of America, and that that government has determined on a prosecution of the useless and impolitic war which it has commenced; the Prince Regent, accordingly has issued an order for granting letters of marque and reprisal against the American shipping, so that the tw countries are now formally placed in a state of war. The declaration of war on the part of Britain, however, concludes with the following reservation :

"His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is nevertheless pleased hereby to declare, that nothing in this Order contained, shall be understood to recal or affect the Declaration which his Majesty's Naval Commander on the American station has been authorised to make to the Government of the United States

of America-namely, that his Royal Highness, animated by a sincere desire to arrest the calamities of war, has authorised the said Commander to sign a convention, recalling and annulling, from a day to be named, all hostile Orders issued by the respective Governments, with a view of restoring, without delay, the relations of amity and commerce between his Majesty and the United States.

SURRENDER OF THE AMERICAN ARMY IN CANADA.

On the subject of this gratifying intelligence, we have only room to give the following short bulletin; reserving the details to our next publication.

66

"Downing Street, Oct. 6, Six A. M.

Captain Coore, Aid-de-Camp to Lieut.General Sir George Prevost, is just arrived with Dispatches from that Officer, dated Montreal, 26th August and 1st September, 1812.

"They announce the successful termination of the Campaign in Upper Canada, by the surrender of Fort Detroit, 33 pieces of Cannon, and the whole of the American Army, under the Command of General Hull, on the 16th of August, to his Majes ty's Forces, commanded by Major-General Brock. The officers and men are prisoners of war.

"The loss of the British in the actions which preceded the surrender, is trifling, being only three men killed, and two Officers and thirteen men wounded.

"The names of the Officers wounded, are Captain Muir and Lieutenant Sutherland, of the 41st regiment."

By New York papers of the 24th September, we find that the surrender of General Hull's army had produced a considerable sensation in that country; and, it is stated, that measures were adopting for recovering the effects of that disaster.

The armistice which was concluded between the Government of Canada and Gen. Dearborne, was refused to be ratified on the part of America, and hostilities were on the point of commencing in Lower Canada. It is stated in letters from St John's, that Dearborne was assembling an army of 30,000 men at Albany, and was expected to advance on the 16th Sept. The regular and militia force at Quebec and Montreal were preparing to oppose his progress.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.

The late Parliament has been dissolved by a proclamation of the Prince Regent's, dated the 29th September.

The new Parliament is summoned to meet on the 24th of November. The election of the sixteen representative Peers for Scotland is fixed for the 13th of November, in the Palace of Holyrood-house. In the meantime. an active canvass prevails over the whole country.
