I have the :tortoni to acqu.tiot > our Lord:Atli), that we have just re ceived information that C.litarelli, who is much exasperated at the failure and fief a 1 of Rouget, has marehed a force of trout two thou sand five hundred to three thousand men to Durango, to reinforce Roug,et, and that they purpose m..king another attack upon Bilboa. I ant returning to join General Mepdizabal. The troops are in the Ligti:bt WAR 1N 'IIIE NORM. The idle report which was circulated last week of the death of BON AP ART E has tut ned out, as we were confident it would, to be a miserable fabrication, and has thereby pro% ed that the contempt with which we tleated it in the first instance was well-founded. The 13th and 14th 'French Bulletins, since received, not only prove that Bu ON AP ARrE has sustained no set ious injury, but that he has gained ad vantages of importance. From the Bulletins, which we have uiven at leng.h, it w:11 be seen that there has been some hard and though many of their statements are wholly unworthy of credA, it is evident that they have been success ful at Smolensko. Every thing that we bad previously heard ll on the subject, led , :s to believe that it was the intpntion the Russians to make a stand at Smolensk(); and their re- II treat from that place we cannot but regard as the result of a discomfiture, and as that which was not contemplated in their origin.:' plan. Their force, however, we have the con solation to know, may be said to be still unbroken, and, in deed, has not been materially imraired. The hrench have, doubtless, greatly mavified the loss of the Russians, and pro porticoatelv that of their own. We have reason to btlie% e that they feel the difficulties of their situation fast growin.. , on them, and their sarcasms on the conduct of the Russians in avoiding a general I.Y.lttle, arc certainly not to be received a:: very strong evidence that our allies have acted injw:i(ionsly. From the prjmptitude and satisfaction with which the French appear to discover, in their 14th Bulletin, that spacious bui'dings will make good hospitals, it may fairly be inferred that they have some occasion for spacious hospitals. Upon the whole, though there is but too much rea son to believe that the enemy hes been victorious at Smolen sko and Valentina, and that the retreat of the Russians has been in some measure forced, we see no reason to despair of the issue of the contest, as nothing decisive has et taken place; and we hope the Russians will ere long find themselves able, if not to crush, at least to arrest - in its desolating progress, that gigantic power which, in the plenitude of its arrogance, and in time madness of its ambition, aims at nothing short of universal empire. GOTTEN BU RW4 MAIL, A Gottenburgh Mail arrived on Wednesday, by which we have received adviccs from St. Petersburgh to the 19th ult. and from Gottenburgh to the 2d inst. The latest of ficial accounts from the Russian Grand Army are not so late by a fortnight as the 13th and 14th French Bulletins ; they reach down oilly to the gth August, and contain a short notice of the defeat which the corps of SZBASTIANI Sustained from General PLATorr at Inkovo.
