General Moreau, mortally wounded by the first cannon fired from the redoubts of Dresden, and con coed by Russian soldiers through The rock of which be was a witness, only succeeded with great pain and difficulty, which caused continual cries in reach ing the Bohemian frontiers on the sixth day after his a mputation. He died in the midst of-bit country's c oolies, in frightful despair. His body was conveyed to Lauen, and there laid out in state, Without doubt to show a people with what celerity punishment fol lows treason. The day on which he was struck, he had sat at the table of a Sovereign. Among other traitr,rs, the Saxons Lagenan and Thielmair, and the Swiss, Jomiai, surrounded the Emperor Alekander. The two first, led by murderous ambition, came to direct fire and sword against the capital of their coun try, against the august abode of their King and their Master's family. The third had, at the moment of the r ecommencement of hostilities deserted - that army which had adopted him, and in which he was deco. rated with a superior rank. The Emperor of Aus tria does not permit any of those men to approach him; 66 one may," he has said, 6 , make use of trai tors as we make use of spies." In short, if contempt of treason is the first sentiment of every virtuous soul, it most ever be an act of prudence on the part of a Sovereign ; it is his own cause he defends ; he cannot honour traitors without risking his own safety.

In order to dissipate the uneasiness which has in troduced itselt.into this capital, relative to the conta gion which was said.to have appeared in the village of Iltattia,. upon the frontiers of Rome, we hasten to give 010,19)ii ! wing information, the. authenticity of Which we can guarantee :--On the 17th of August an English-frigate - dPsembarked a certain number of troops near tire tower of Patuna, a bad military post at the mouth of the 'fibre: This tower Was only defended by six soldiers. The enemy succeeded in taking two of them, with two garde: ranee. Scarcely were the two latter on board, when they were set at liberty and sent on shore. One of them ifnmediately gave himself up as a prisoner in quarantine, but the ether went tu Pratua, his natal country.

A GOTTENBuItGH MAIL. CONFIRMATION OF TDB TOTAL DEFEAT ow NEY, LAURISTON, AND M'DONALD, BY GENERAL BLUCHER. ADVANCE OF THE CROWN PRINCE. The intelligence from Gottenburgh is to the 12th September. It confirms the report of MOREAU having lost his legs, but adds, that he was doing well. The official details of BtxchEa's successes in Silesia are too long for insertion to-day, but the following is an accurate sketch of their con►ents. The great battle took place on the 26th, between the Katzbach and the Rover, and the French fled in all directions.— Few er no pristiners were taken, fur every Mall was cut down by the enraged Prussians. The enemy lost from Fifty to Seventy Pieces of Cannon, and Ninety Ammunition Waggons. Between Berlin and the Elbe, General VON HANSCHFELD; with the Prussian Militia, and the Russian General CIIERNICHEFF, have totally destroy ed the division of the French Army, commanded by General GIRARD, who is killed. We have also received a Swedish Bulletin, dated Belitz, August 30, where the CROWN PRINCE'S head quarters then were. The French were in.full retreat towards the Elbe, pursued by the cavalry under Generals \VNZINGERODE and WORONZOFIN The Cnows PRINCE'S Army is moving forward. The following are the only Extracts for which we have room : • " COTTENGBURGH, SEPTEMBER It. " The French made two dreadful sorties from Dres den, in both of which they were driven back with great slaughter. The Allies were, however, oblted to retire in the afternoon of the 29th, for want of pro visions, and owing to the bad state of the weather.- General Vandamme was, in consequence, detached by Napoleon to hArrass them ; and was, on the 30th, attacked, himself killed, and the whole of his corps taken or destroyed. •• The gallant and enterprising Blucher has com pletely defeated. Macdonald, between Katzbach and th Bober, taking 15,000 prisoners, 103 pieces of cannon, 415 ammunition waggons, four Generals, and five Eagles. " The Crown Prince of Sweden has driven the French nine German ales back, taking 2500 pri soners and 16 pieces of cannon, in an affair near Wit tembcrg. " Accounts are said to have reached the Crown Prince's Head-quarters, of Fiume having been taken by General Nugent. ‘, All those gratifying accounts are, however, clouded by die melapcholy intelligence of General Moreau's having lost both his legs by a cannon ball► while walking with the Emperor of Russia before Dresden.—This affair happened on the afternoon of the 29th, when the Allied Army was about to retire. He is at Toeplitz, doing well, and great hopes are en. tertained of his recovery." A Gentleman from Gottenburgh states, that before he tame away, accounts had been received of a Great Victory obtained over the French, in which their loss afuounted to 35,000 men, killed, wounded, and taken, with 1200 baggage-waggons. We regret that the date is not mentioned. It is per haps only another version of the preceding accounts. Just as this Paper was putting to Pres, two Russian and a Prussian Messenger, actompanied by another Gentleman from Prussia, arrived in Downing -street, with Dispatches. They left Gottenburgh on the Ilth . instant. French Papers to the 16th hate now arrived. They confirm our former statements of BLUCHER having been completely victorious in Silesia. The admission of MACDONALD'S defeat is obscurely worded it is true, but it is nevertheless convincing. We *ere told in • the last Paris Papers that MACDONALD was every where stucessfal—that he had taken up a good po sition and that he could make head against the enemy if he should rally. We pointed out the deformities 'of this article at the time—(Vide the STAR of Sep tanbet 17), and hazarded a conjecture that MAc- DONALD and not the Allies, had most occasion to rally. This be has done, if we are to believe his Master's account of it, but not until he had been driven from the Katzbach tolluntalau. It must be freh in the recollection of our Readers that BLUCHER'S victories were gained on the 29th and 27th : during these days the French Papers inform us that the elements were once more let loose Upon the French army—the rain fell in torrents—the Bober overflowed its banks—the roads were three feet deep with water. The trench columns were surprised by the deluge, and separated ; the enemy wished to take advantage of their misfor- , tune, but was himself driven from the heights which j he occupied. 1 - —•s • • MEETING O P PARLIAMEN'T. • ST4steurrit - 2, TWO O' C LOCK.

This morning, at at an el:fly hour, all the avenues leading to the Old Bailey were crovded with passen gers flocking to witn.ss this awful spectacle. The interest which the case of Lary had (-c'tetf in the public mind, no doubt greatly increased the cricoitrse, and by half-past seven every part of the Old Bailey was filled from end to end. Since his conviction Leary has been frequently vi sited by Colonel O'K ELLY , f rom t h e most humane and praise-worthy motives; but sorry are wet:, add, that ko direct confession of his guilt could be obtained from him. Colonel O'Ket.mt repeatedly urging him, in the most solemn and forcible. anner, to perform this last act of justice. And last night all that he could ex tort from him was a solemn asseveration in the pre. sence of the jailors, that he did not actually perpe trate the crime for which he was to suffer, but he ad mitted, that he was present and was near enough to have prevented it if he chore! Yesterday Mr DEVEREIA, a mat worthy Act re spectable Catholic Clergyinan, attended him, and ad ministered the sacrament ; but, so far as we can. un derstand, he obtained no direct confessioft of his guilt. Leary, after Mr. DEVEREVX had' left him, wrote a letter to his wife, in which he told her that he had seen his Priest, and that he died happy. In the evening Colonel O'K ELLE visited him, when the con versation abtove alluded to passed. Early this morning the two criminals tere brought from their cells. Leary had tasted nothing but bread and water since his sentence; he nevertheless appeared to have a florid and healthy complexion, and walked with a firm pace, frequently looking around him with the utmost composure. _ About a qua: ter of an hour before eight o'clock, the unhappy men were conducted into a passage ad joining one of the yards on the criminal side of the prison, and not into the press-yard, as before for al long time has been usual, to have their irons knocked off. But few, of a great number cf persons of r♦ spectability, who were anxious to Ilear the last words of Learg,.and who accompanied the Sheriffs, could gain admittance into this passage. Doling the time that his irons were being knocked off, and after Colonel O'Kett.y, who actuated by a laudable zeal towards the Public, by endeavouring to obtain a full confession of the wretched man's guilt, had attended him the day before for this purpose, without success, now again addressed him, and conjured him, as he was then about to appear before the ALMIGHTY, to declare, that he actually perpetrated the murder.- , - Leary listened to him as well as to another Gentle man, who seconded Colonel O'KELLY in his endea yours, with becoming respect, and then exclaimed— I declare most solemnly I did not commit the mur der, though I saw it done." Colonel O'KELLy thai l produced a paper, drawn up by himself, of which we have obtained the following copy : " I, James Leary, having received the Sacra ment, and being now on the brink of eternity, do although I war prerent, " hereby Most solemnly delare that I did NOT corn- A •' mit the murder of Clifford. (§igned) lathlZS LEARY." As his end was so very fast approaching, the Co lonel ♦ery properly left a blank between the words 44 I did" and 11 COEnniiir to leave in that state if he acknowledged his guilt, or that he should fill it up with the word not, with hit own hand, if he still per sisted in declaring that he was only privy to the murder, and had not himself perpetrated it. Colonel O'Kaux then said, “ Now, Leary, as you still insist upon your former declaration, do with your own `hand write the Word nat. i ° A petal mai eisdi prit into ins hand, and th e papier - was-phiced by Dr. Fosii upon some person's hat and held before him. Leary careftilly and attentively read it over; and titiroti the Colonel pointing" to the blank, td direct his eye mere. immediately to it, he observed, ee Oh, Sir I see eery well where it is ." and although hi s hands were turd at the wrists, and hit arms pinioned * he wiote in firth very good hand the wilts! “ nos," and with the same firmness signed his name, though he wrote With sdme little difficulty on accottnt of his being pirtiOned. Some. one (we believe the Colonel) then put this question— ,, Then, L ary, who did actually corn mit the murder? " upon which the crimi na l detmed- .. much affected, and with the tears in his eyes, he said —" Oh, don't Sir, don't I—pray don't press me 1" and turned his back. linmediately after this, the SIIIIRIFt• and UNbltli• &HERM' moved fot ward 'towards the Debtor's door: Leary walked with a firm step, and displayed the same intrepid countenance which he had exhibited during his awful and momentous trial The coloui never let his cheek, and the tew drops that had started into his eyes soon disappeared. Denton. his • fellow Sufferer, appeared to be much affected and deeply impressed with the awfulness of .1.6 Ltd 4t1011: Leary ascended the platform first, and as he st')ol with one leg resting on the upper step leadng to it; and the other on the drop, a Gentleman, whom we understood to be Sir JO:IN CARR, alb-tossed him, by , saying—" Now, Leary, as you I:,ve the Country that gave you birth, let me implore of you to make a 101 l Confession of your guilt; and by doing so, you Will make to it all the atonement in your power, and, as tar as you can, do away the disgrace you have cast upon it:" When Colonel 0' KELLY exclaimed, "Do Leary; tour Countrymen will bless you for This address, which was intended to affect his mind, 'by an allusion the most touching to an Irishman, had no more effect than every preceding one, to induce this wretched infatuated man to seal with his dying breath the clear conviction of his guilt, Looking steadily at both of these Gentlemen, he said, " I have nothing more to add to what I have told you ; did i act commit the murder." He was then placed under the fatal beam, and became engaged in prayer with die Rev. Mr. DavEnEux, the Catholic Priest, who had attended him from the time of his conviction, still preserving the same firm and composed counte nance. Denton then followed, and appeared atilt more affected, and seemed scarcely able to support himself. After a few minutes, Dr. Fotin pive the usual signal, by taking out his pocket handkerchief, when the platform fell, and the wretched men were; cor;iened to another world. 13.,th of them appeared to stiffer • a considerable time, particularly Leary, , round whose neck the noose of the cord had slippc , , behind the jugular vein. After hanging the Usual time, their bcxl;is were cut down, and conveyed to St; Bartholometal Hosa pital for dissection. Ti:e concourse of people who witnessed the awful scene was immense, though not so numerous as at die execution.cf Lolling ~m. Upon this man's singular denial of the full extent of his guilt, we hale one remark to Make, and *d • are sute that it will be verified by every reflecting peva son to whom we address ourselves.

This conduct is founded upon a law of nature—it may, perhaps, be lefurryd to the instinct of sell-preservati ,n. The Gazette of S.,torday contains an Extract of a Dispatch from S.r G. CoLLnat, mentioding the very useful co-operation of his squadron, in th. de. Monstration of an attack upod the back of the rcdc of St. Sebastian. This, our readers will recollect, we anticipated on Prid.4, with the addition that the 85th British Regiment had been employed tip.a the above serv i ce, to conjunction with the squadron. Accounts from Quebec to the Ist of August state, that Colonel BISSUOtP, who dstinguishel - himself in the engagement at the Black Rock, where he was severely wounded, is since dead. It is likewis: said, that fifteen boats, which were conveying provisions to Kingston, had been taken by the• Americans ; and tl:at an attempt was subsequently made by some Bd• tish ships of war to retake them, bet without success.

His Lordship had been as far to the Northward as Iceland, in search of Commodore Rol:Gees, but with out obtaining the least information concerning him. For the last month of his cruize, he did not meet with a vessel of any description.
