ROSTOPCHIN'S PAMPHLET.
4th extract from the bulletin:
"The confession of the incendiaries, taken,
tried and shot, &c."
Here we have a proof which has been pre
sented as certain and convincing ; for it ia
clothed with the authority of a trial end con
viction, with the confession of the condemned
and the execution of the incendiaries. Napo
leon says in his 20th bulletin, that certain fire
raisers were taken, condemned and ahot. That
all of those w retches had been detected in the
act—that they were provided with combustible
materials, and were firing the city by my or
dirt.
The twentieth bulletin says that three hun
dred condemned criminals set fire to Moscow
in five hundred different places at the same
time. This ia a abeer impossibility, {Jut even
ifit were possible, can it be supposed that I
would have set at liberty criminals detained in
the prisons on condition of their setting fire to
the city, and that those persons would have
-executed my orders after I had gone away in
the very midst of the enemy's army 1 But I
will convince all those who will listen to the
proof that no criminals were ever employed.
As fast as the array of Napoleon, on its
march to Moscow, approached a Capital city
of a province, the civil Governors cleared the
prisons, and forwarded the criminals to Mos
cow, under a military escort. From this arose
the fact, that from theend of the month of Au
gust, the prisons of Moscow contained the
prisoners of the governments of Witepsk, Mo
hilow, Minsk and Smolensk. Their number,
added to those of the government of Moscow,
was eight hundred and ten persons, who, un
der the escort of a batallion, taken from a regi
ment in gorrison, were sent to Nigeni-Now
gorod two days before the French entered Mos
cow. They reached the place of their desti
nation; and at the beginning of the year 1813,
the Senate, to avoid the inconvenience of send
ing all these criminals back to their fespective
governments, gave orders to the civil courts of
Nigeni Nowgorod, to try and decide their
case*.
But the accusation against the incendiaries,
which was printed, and of which I have a copy,
sets forth that thirty persons, each of whom is
named, were arruigned, and that thirteen ol
them having been convicted of setting fire to
the city by my orders, were condemned to
death. Notwithstanding, according to the i2oih
and 21st bulletins, at first 100, and afterwards
three hundred of these same incendiaries were
shot. On my return to Moscow, I saw and
spoke with three o( the unfortunate persons in
cluded in the accusation which I have said
was made against thirty. One of them was a
domestic of a certain Prince Sbirsky, who
had left him to take care of his house ; another
was an old scavenger of the Kremlin ; the 3d
was a store-keeper.
All lliree, questioned sepaiately, told the
game tale in 1813, and two years alter, that is
to say, that they were arrested during the first
days of September, (old style,) one of them in
theßtreet, during the night, and the other two
at the Kremlin, in the day time. They re
mained some time in the guard house at the
Kremlin. At last, one morning, they were
carried to the barracks of the quarter called
the "Lndies'-Field." Seventeen other persons
were added to their number, and they were
carried under strong escoit before the convent
of Petrowsky, which is on the boulevard.—
There they waited nearly an hour, at the end
of which time several mounted officers arrived,
and dismounted. The thirty.Russians were
ranged upon a line, and after thirteen of them
had been singled out,they were placed against
the wall of the convent and shot. Their bodies
weresuspendedjto the lamp-posts, with bills at
tached, assorting that they were incendiariest
and that they had been shot therefor. The
other seventeen were dismissed, and never dis»
tuibed afterwards.
The narrative of these people, if it be true,
renders it certain that no questions were asked
any of them, and that the thirteeu who perish
ed were shot by imperative eiders from head
quarters.
sth extract from the bulletins :
" The confession of a man professing to be
a police soldier, who was found in the cellar of
the Kremlin, uud cut to pieces by Napoleon's
guard."
That unfortunate person, whether police sol
dier, or merely professing to be such, found in
the cellar, might have said that he remained by
order of his chief. But who was that chief?—
Was it I ? Was he a Master of Police ? An
officer? Sergeant? What Comini-sion did he
hold ? None of these questions was it thought
necessary to ask. He was massacred by the
•oldiers of the guard.
6th extract: " The engines carried off."
1 sent oft twenty-one hundred firemen, and
ninety-six engines# {for theree were thre for each
quarter,) the day before the enemy entered
Moscow. There was a corps of officers at*
tached to the service of the engines, and 1 did
not think proper to leave them for the service
of Napoleon, having wiihdrawn from the city
all the authorities civil and military.
However, it is quite natural that the world
should desire to know who really applied the
torcb, and produced the conflagration of Mos
cow. Now, the following ate the details which
I shall give with regard to that transaction, the
blame of which Napoleon throws upon ine,
and the Russians upon Napoleon, but which I
can attribute (exclusively) neither'to the Rus
sians nor to the enemy. Half the people who
remained in Aloseow when the French tntered
it were vagabonds, and il may be very well
supposed that they wouldbe spt to start a fire
in order to pillage during tbe disorder. But
this by no mesns proves that there was aeon*
certed plan to burn the city, and that that plan,
•ad tbe execution of it, are to be attributed to
me.
The principal trait» the Russian character
>* disinterestedness, and a tendency to destroy
rather than to yield. They end a d apute aU
vijri in each word# •• theae, "It ahall then
do nobody any good." In the frequent con
versations which I held, at that time, with the
merchants, artisans and common people, I
have heard them aay often, while expressing,
with the deepestaorrow, their fear lest Moscow
ahould fall into the hands of tiie enemy, 'Met
us rather burn it to the ground!" While 1 was
at the head quarters of Prince Kutusoff, I saw
several persona who hod escaped from Mos
cow alter the conflagration, and who boasted
that they had set fire to their own houses. I
give the details which I have been able to col
lect aa they hare reached me, for 1 was not an
eye witness, being absent, at the time, from the
city.
THE CONFL RATION OF MOSCOW
We had altnoat determined to publish no
more of Rostopchin's pamphlet, for we feared
lest it might be a bore to our readers. But
the very kind terms in which the translation
is apoken of by our contemporary of the
Lynchburg Express, proves that it has made
a deep impression in quarters where we are
most anxious that it should be known—most
anxious because we know that there it will be
appreciated.
Our friend of the Express has fallen into two
errors, one of his own making, and one made
for him by us. Rostopchin, as will be seen by
the portion of his pamphlet which we publish
to-day, does not say that Napoleon set fire,
intentionally, to the city. On the contrary, he
says it was the result of accident. The other
mistake was with regard to the number of
engines (Rostopchin calls them pumps—
pompes) which he sent out the city. They
were ninety-six instead of four hundred.
VIVE LA BAGATELLE!
The New York Times compares the man
ner in which the renowned Billy Bowlegs has,
at successive times, been treated by the Ame
rican public, to that in which the great Napo
leon was treated by the Paris Moniteur when
he landed from Elba. When it first heard of it
it said " the monster has broken his cage;"'
when he reached Lyons " the usurper has
been received by his soldiers, and threatens
more trouble." When he got to Paiis, " the
Emperor is again in his capital," &c. The
Times then proceeds:
And so it is with Field Marshal Bowlegs,
of the Seminole Army, and the public of the
United States. When lie began his campaigns
against the whites in Florida, some ten or fif
teen years ago, he wits treated as n marauding
savage, and twitted os plain Bill Bowlegs! —
Subsequently, when it was found impractica
ble to drive him from the chaparal, or extentii
nate him by superiority of numbers, a parley
was called, and he was more kindly and fami
liarly recognized as Hilly Bowlegs!! And
having after much difficulty and diplomacy in
duced the indomitable warrior to visit Wash
ington to talk with the President in per
son, he is now recognized deferentially as
Marshal Bowlegs, or William Crookshanks,
Esq.!!! Whether this deference will secure
the desired object, viz: the abandonment with
out further bloodshed ol his old hunting
grounds in Florida, remains in doubt. The
very latest dispatch, doubtless from no less
authority than the Stute Department, to our
neighbor of the Courier and Enquirer, inti
mates that it will not. His Excellency is said
to be taciturn and melancholy, being evidently
oppressed with apprehension that the white 3
are purposing at last to take possession. He
is soon to pay n visit to this great emporium,
and we trust he will be welcomed with such
demonstrations of popular respect,as may, in
some degree, remove his taciturnity, and light
en the melancholy under which he" is oppressed
at Washington.
We find the following in the Petersburg Ex»
press. VVe earnestly invite the attention of all
whom it may concern to this matter :
Dispatch Extraordinary.—We received
yesterday through the. post office, a neatly
printed number of the Richmond Dispatch,
bearing date, Monday, September 20, 1852.—
Since that time, friends Whaling and Stratton,
the conductors on t'ae Richmond and Peters
burg Railroad have been from this city to
Richmond a dozen times or more, and had time
a plenty and to spare in each place to do all
their eating and sleeping. The regular mail
steamer that started simultaneuusly, probably
with this paper, is now not far from her dock
in Liverpool ; and yet it has taken this copy
of the Dispatch four days, or 96 hours,to come
the whole distance of 22 miles. The mails
now are in admirable order, and bring us the
Dispatch with dispatch extraordinary truly.
Richmond and Danville Railroad.—
There was an order made by the County Court
of Pittsylvania, on Monday last, requiring the
Commissioners who acted at the last election,
to hold a poll on the 3d Thursday in Novem
ber, to take the sense of the people whether
the Court shall subscribe $30,000 of stock in
R. &. D. Railroad.
From Havana.—We subjoin the following
items of news brought by the Empire City, in
addition to that already published under our
telegraphic head.
The Bteamer Pizarro. which was wrecked
some time ago, is a totul loss.
A council of war was to be held at Havana
on the 13th u It., to try the case of eleven per
sons charged with being concerned in a revo
lutionary paper.
The Picayune leurns by this arrival through
its Havuna correspondents, that arrests were
making daily in Havana and throughout the
island, and that spies were swarming in every
part of Cuba. b J
The American papers are now prohibited
without exception or favors.
Government troops are being sent into all
parts of the island, and stationed at convenient
points for immediate service.
The Government has received intelligence
that twelve hundred stand of arms had been
lauded at or near Cieul^gos— two hundred of
them had been seize.!, and the residue wete
carried to the mountains by the owners or
original possessors and country people. Great
excitement continues to prevail, and the au.
thorities are much alarmed.
The officers, crew and passengers of the
Empire City were politely and courteously
treated, whilst at Havana, by the authorities.
Grakd Lodge or the United States 1.0.
O. F,—There was nothing done in the lodee
yesterday of general inieret, as far as we could
learn, except the fact that the place of meeting
was determined for the next session. It is to be
held in Philadelphia on the fijst Mouday 01
September, being the seventy day of the
month. The lodge was in session 'last nishi
and will adjourn to-day.—Sun Saturday,
Suddkh Deatb—Mr. Eiios Fry, a son of
the late Michael Fry, a highly respectable
citizen ot this coumy, was found dead on
Saturday evening, the 11th instant, in the
barn-yard of Mrs. M. Fry, near Lovettsville.
Ibe deceased was in his 41st year, and has
lett many relatives io mourn his loss.

LOCAL MATTERS.
The Richmond Bscaip Metre Society.—The
manager* of this new and commendable organiza
tion, which has in view " the acquisition of a
thorough knowledge of sacra d music, its promo
tion in the community, and the instruction of the
yoaof, without regard to the denominational dis
tinction*, presented a petition to the City Council
on the 12th of last July, af king the grant of the lec
ture room of the Athensr-im for its weekly prac
ticiegs, believing that such use came within the
scope of tbe o. dinance regulating the occupancy of
the building. The managers who, with the mem
ber* of the Society, are gentlemen of the highes 1 .
respectability, and leading members of the ditferent
chuiche* of the, city, guaranteed to keep tbe
lecture room in perfect order, pay the nece**ary
expenses of fuel, light and attendance, and furnish,
at proper in'ervals, competent lecture* on the
tcience of music.
This petition was referred to the Committee on
the AtheLwuin. who, at the last regular meeting cf
tbe City Council, presented a report adverse to tbe
granting cf the request. The reason* assigned in
that report for the declioation have not yet been
made public, and being a matter of interest to tbe
Soci ty and its frinds, who comprise a larger class
of our population, we subjoin tbem. The principle
involved also is an important ane, aside from the
application.
The report sets out with static g the objects of
the establishment of the Atheneaum, which are the
encouragement and promotion of learning, tbe
cultivation of a taste for literature among tbe mass
es, and the provision of means for its gratification.
These objects are effected through popular lectures,
and a scientific library and scientific apparatus at
the Athenasum. The reasons inducing the rejection
of tfce application of the Sacred Mus.'c Society, the
committee state, are: Ist, that the dedication of city
propeity tj such an object was not contemplated
by the charter of the city, nor in unison with the
practice of the State; 2ndly, it would be a depar
ture from the principle of the ordinance relating to
the Atheaeuum and its use, which extended equal
privileges to every citizen, without distinction in
favor of any, except the indigent childrenjof public
tcbools, because the petition of the Sacred Music
Society asked that peculiar privilege might be
granted to this private association. All other be
nevolent and charitable societies might with equal
propriety ask the ute of rooms in this building.
3rd, it would be inconsistent with the uses to which
the building was especially dedicated by the ordi
nance. Young men whose daily employment pre
vented their visiting the library during the day
would be disturbed, and, in fact, debarred from the
privilege of quiet evening 6tudy by the sound pro
ceediugfrom mutical practitioners under their feet;
and, 4th, that such U6e by the Sacred Music Society
would probably result in injury to the furniture of
the lecture room ; and besides, where a series of
lectures were delivered on scientific subjects, for
several nights in succession, employing scientific
apparatus, it would be necessary for th*t apparatus
to remain in the lecture room undisturbed—and at
such times it would be inadmissible to permit
others to use the lecture room. This report, after
discussion, was luid on the table for iuriher con
sideration, together with a resolution offered by Mr.
Allen, granting the use of the lecture room, agree
ably to the terms of the petition of the Sacred Mu'
sic Society. And thus the matter stands

W. Penn Lebr, the banjo-man of the Troupe, and
a splendid bai jo-man he is, too, takes hisl|>enetit
to-night. It is the first benefit he has taken in Rich
mond sicca hts association with the Nightingale
Troupe, and we appeal to hia numerous admirers
to give him that support which he so emineatly de
serves. Theentertainmentwiil.no doubt, be very
tine. The youthful vocalist, Master Adams, wilj
sing in his best style " Katy Darling" and " Old
Folks at Home." The distinguished danseur, (or
shall wa say danseuse i) Master Floyd, will oauce
his (or. her) best female steps. Old '• Brudder
Bones" will tell his best jokee, and the inimitab e
Morgan—who, by the way, his the best conception
of the African character that we ever saw —will not
be found lackiug in his budget of wit and conun
drums. In fine, everythirg will be done in the right
sort of style.
The Concert.—The coscert season wi:l be
opened to-morrow eveting by an entertainment
which we have reason to believe, will be one of
a very high order of musical merit. We are in
formed by a very competent critic, that the Lady
and Gentleman vocalists have very powerful and
well disciplined voices. The programme of pieces
contains some gems of musical composition, and
we are sure they wiil be performed in very excel
lent style.
Religious Meetings.—A protracted meeting of
much interest is now in progress under the au
spices of the Rev. Mr. Ford, ol the Baptist Church,
at Springfield Hall, Church HilL Several persons
have professed conversion, and there are many se
rious enquirers.
A similar meeting is in progress at the Valley M.
E. Church, under the charge of Rev. Mr. Bailey.—
Very interesting mattings are also being held in tha
Centenary M. E. Church.
Dismissed.—A free negress named Eliza
Phillips appeared before the presiding Justice
of the Mayor's Court Saturday, and charged
Peter Quickiey, a free negro, with threatening
to assault her, and taking from her a son named
George, aged two years. Tiie testimony proved
that Quickiey had left Eliza Phillips, with
whom he formerly lived, on account of her bad
conduct—mat he brought up the child, and
lhat he was a sober, industrious man, und she
a drunken, worthless prostitute. Justice
Evuns accordingly dismissed the complaint,
and committed the complainant. Eliza, to jail
in default of $50 security to be of good beha»
vior.
Discharged.—On Saturday (he case of Wil
liam Freeman, a free negro frotn Caroline
county, in the employ of Diil &. Mulchahev,
und arrested Thursday evening in default of
free pupets,came up in due order at the iMayor's
Court. The tobacco found iu his possession
was proven to have been lawfully obtained.—
He was ordered to return immediately to Ca
roline county, and stay ihers, or he would be
dealt with as the law directs.
Bound Over.—The continued case ofClias.
Z. Abrams, charged with disorderly conduct,
and endeavoring to break into the house of
VVm. J. Chick, on Broad street, near Adams
street, Thursday evening last, whila under the
influence of liquor,came up before Justice Ev
aus Saturday, and Abrama was bound over in
the sum of f 100 to keep the peace.
Stealing Tobacco.—Henry Jones, slave to
George Mills, stole frotn tbe factory of hit em
ployer on Friday evening, nine large plug' of
tobacco. Saturday Justice Evana ordered him
thirty-nine lashes. The tobacco was tied up
in the sleeve of hie coat, which coat he threw
over hia arm on leaving tbe factory, so that
the overaeer could not aee tbe tobacco.
Th* Circular SAW.—Tha great auperi
ority of the Circular Saw, over that of the up*
right or frame saw, is clearly manifested at the
Saw Mill of Mr. John Williams, in this city.—
Until recently, Mr. W. had in operation is
bis mill ihreeof the upright saws, with wbicb
he cut into plank about 13 logs a day. Late
ly he has intradnced two Circular Saws, in
the place of the three old-fashioned ones, and
these two saw into plank from 30 to 36 logs
per day—making a difference in favor of the
Circulnr saws of three to one—and the work
too, is performed with the same water power.
Persons who have never witnessed the ope*
ration of ripping up logs with a Circular Saw,
ought to see it. The way those saws walk
into hard pine knot logs is both admirable and
astonishing. For taking heads, off, we think
they would be an improvement upon tbe
Frenchman's guillotine.
Assault.— Daniel Tucker, (the yonng not
the venerable,) slave to A. Dill, sang a new
song in the ears of another negro, at the first
market, on Friday evening, to a very warlike
air, winding up with a knock dofen choros.—
Tucker, being the assailant, was ordered 20
lashes.

HEAD — The Testimony of a Lady after Thirty eight
Years' Suffering.—Northampton County, April
13,1852.—Messrs. Tyler Ai Adair: I have been at
flicted wiih Rheumatism, at times, from my twelfth
year. I will be fi;ty years of age the 18th of this
mouth. The attacks were at times so severe as to
render me helpless. I havetried various remedies
to very little effect Last October I was attacked in
my snoulders, eides, bt k and hips, 1 could not rest
day or night; I could not move any part ot my body
without crying with pain At tuis time 1 also tried
many remedies, internal and external, without re
ceiving any relief. I was at last advised to try
HAMPTON'S VEGETABLE TINCTURE. Before
1 had taken one bottle cf which I felt much better,
and as I continued taking it, I felt strength coming
into my back and limbs, auc my stomach strength
ened and rev ved every way. I have taken live bot
tles, aud 8m much better than I ever expected to
be. linteud to use it whenever I need it, and would
recommend it to the afflicted, believing it unequal
led.
Yours, ELIZABETH BAGWELL.
