Napoleon entered Moscow, and took up his residence in the Kremlin, the ancient palace of the czars ; but while he was holding a council, fires broke out in various parts of the city, and though many of the incendiaries were shot, it was found impossible to check the conflagration.
When the greater part of the city was destroyed, its stores con- sumed, and all supplies cut ofl^. Napoleon found himself in a very embarrassing position. With great reluctance he gave orders for a retreat, and the Fr...ench obeyed with so much precipitation, that .they were unable to complete the demolition of Moscow. Before the fugi- tives hid proceeded far on their route, they began to experience the horrors of a Russian winter ; thousands became the victims of ;old and hunger, while their pursuers, taking courage from their calamities, harassed them severely at every step. It had been Napoleon's inten- tion to make a stand at Smolensko, but the magnitude of his losses, the disorganized state of his army, and the increasing want of provisions, rendered such a course impossible.
