" After the French trocps penetrated our borders, many families came thither from Riga.

SECOND EDITION. STAILOFFICE, ONE O'CLOCK. As we anticipated in a preceding page, the intelli gence from St. Peteraburgh, received by Govern ment, is of the most glorious description. Lord CATHCART'S dispatches are dated from the Russian Capital on the 3d instant. They state in substance as follows: 46 The Russians were acting most vigorously against the detachments of the French near Moscow, and driving them in, or cutting them off. Several con voys of ordnance stores have been taken on the Smolensko road. General WINGINGERODE was ope rating with great spirit and success near Rousa and Mojaisk. General WITTGENSTEIN has had several brilliant affairs on the Duna. The expedition against Mittau, from Riga, had fully succeeded—the enemy were driven from it on the SOth. The Moldavian army was advancing rapidly, and the patriotic do nations were continued. " The Russian Bulletins state, that BONAPARTE set fire to Moscow from indignation, at finding it de serted. " The highest public functionaryremaining was the Director of the Foundling Hospital. BONAPARTE gave him a letter with proposals for peace to carry to the Emperor, which the Director refused ; and then BONAPARTE gave it to a Russian Gentle man, a Mr. FAROSTOFF, whom he had taken priso ner. Nothing can exceed the indignation cf the Russians. Many French Officers had been killed privately in Moscow, and some of great distinction, being mistaken for BONAPARTE himself. " General Kurusovp is daily receiving reinforce ments, has a fine position, and is well supplied by the fertile provinces cf Tula..v and Riasane. “.The Emperor of Russia is acting with great firm. ness. A new levy of 400,000 Tntn is ordered, and all precautions are taking in case the enemy should aft tempt to advance to St. Petershurgh.” GENERAL ELECTION.

One thousand of Colonel CONOREVE'S rockets have been sent from the depot at Dover, on board one of the ships in the Downs. etiodidid Art:nibth: Saturday morning, ik farmer's wife, near kino, bridge, Devon, was found Murdered in the kitchen, on the return of her husband from labour; The clothes of the murderer were found in the kitchen, he having, with great coolness, put on thoseof the master of the hiuse. A close pursuit was instantly commenced by Mr. LANE and others, from Kings bridge; and, as it was judged probable that the vil lain had taken a route Westward, they proceeded to Plymouth. The Constables of Plymouth and of Ply: mouth-dock were soon on the alert, and vigilantly examined the whole of the public;houses, &c. on Sunday, without effect. On Monday morning, however, although it blew a most tremendous gale, Mr. LANE determined to cross the New Passage, near Plymouth Dock, and seized the murderer in the Passage House, on the opposite side, at Torpoint, preparing to go into Cornwall. He had then on the clothes of the hus band of the deceased, instantly confessed the fact > and was recognized as a well-known pedestrian who had been in the habit of supplying the counties of Devon and Cornwall with ballads, &c. &c. He saki that he approached .the house in which the deceased lived, and having ascertained the absence of the owner, he entered the kitchen, found the woman busily employed about dinner, knocked her down with a broom-stick, took up a bill-hook which he stuck into her neck, and finished the business by cutting her throat with a pruning knife. That he then took £4 out of her pocket, and opening a drawer, took out the clothes of her husband and put them cu, leaving his own on the ground. Being strongly suspected of the herrible murder of M..,l:Gaittr Y, LITABLE, ef-Dadbrock, he declined answeripg the questions put to him ; said, that he knew he should be hung, and that, if he had any c.onlessious to make, he had time cn the road, and should have some conversation with the efficers.— ft,re Le quitted Plyincuth-dOck, he was recognized by an Laker, as havisig been sentenced to two years imprisonment at Exeter, in the year 1809, for at. tempting to vicrite and murder a child. The simi larity of this latttr case with the horrible circum stances atteadata on the rape and murder of the un fortun.de infant, EurrABLE, render it a matter of considerable probability, that this wretch is the vile perpetrator of the latter deed—a deed which, if con sidend in all its circumstances, is perhaps unparal leled, iven in the annals of atrocity. Yesterday the Duke of Yong had an audience of the PRINCE RtGENT at Carlton House.

At Millbank, Chelsea, and several other places up the River, great damage Was sustained by the water washing away the fences of several shrubberies; and at one time the tide was so high as to cover the top of the first arch of Westminster Bridge. The warehouses below London Bridge were also completely inundated, and several articles that were deposited therein were washed away.
