- 7 fttE EVENING LONDON. _J • • ! I'OURSDAY, OCTOBER 28; XBl. • 5T.111111011 , 41116 rt. htea.—Holtday at tit Stakft Ildompi. Moftiiesks la the 45th add minor Paris iotunals to the 2sd, arrived last night. They are brief, like their ptedetessors, on the subject of the movallasts of the French armies. They state, that on the .ISth Bana t mitTE had his head-quarters at Duben, miclway be. twren Leipsic and Wittenberg The bead-quarters the CRbWN PRINCI I it will be recollected, were at 11‘.• hehburgh, a few miles off, upon die 11th...bead Lis positions then extended from Wettin to Halle, upon the Saale and Mtdda. He has since advanced further into Satony, and by the junction with the Grand Allied Armies of Silesia and Bohemia, Leip sic is encompassed neatly in the same way as Dresden was lately. It will be seen, therefore, that the French a • Allied Armies have, within a few day pletely changed places. The former corral.) , between Leipsic and the Elbe. • latter are posted on the banks of the Saale;' .siderably nearer France. During the movements which preceded this change of pc,* tion, it is probable That both the contending armies avoided a general engagement, both being confident in the ultimate success of their manoeuvres. With respect to the French armies, their communications with France being entirely destroyed, they must now subsist themselves bow they can upon the banks of the Elbe. It is true, that the occupation of the fortresses I , of Magdeburgh, Torgau, and Wittenberg will afford facilities to the transport of provisions to any position along the Elbe which the French armies may take op ; but these provisions must be drawn from an ene my's country, and 'the difficulties of peadining them must increase every day. In whatever Out of view, therefore, gap take Bo nseastres present anation, we cannot but regard his clinging to the Elbe for the winter, as a meastwe which will end in the total destruction of his army. A temporary advance to Berlin, under thesocircum stances, may for a while dazzle the • eyes of the Pa risians, and with this view only will it be attempted, in order to quicken the new conscription, or to en courage the money lenders of Paris to make fresh advances Tor their thriftless Emperor. The successes of Mutt Ar, biIET, and Amman, which are again alluded to in the French Papers as having been confirmed, may probably allude to some affairs with Generals TIMMER and TAUENZIEN t who with about 16,000 men were left to nppose the pas. sage of the Elbe; and we know from the Berlin Gavate, that Star he pesbed a• INTL across the Elbe, between Wittenberg and Torgau ; but it Was afterwards reported at Stralsund that he had been cut of and ultimately defeated. This must be one of the affairs alluded to of the 11th or 12th instant ; but with respect to MURAT and AUOZREAU'S suc cesses, we are at a loss to say where they could have taken place, the exact direction in which they have recently moved not being stated. The Parisians are still told that the armies are in sight of each other, and that great events may be ex pected, the Emperor having put himself at the head of his Imperial Guards to march against the principal part of the Allied ArMy. This does not look like marching upon Berlin—•but we ought to put no faith whatever In any hints thus vaguely given. The mi serable condition in wilich..his army mast be, for want of sustenance and necessary equipments, must, we apprehend, make BON APARTE decline a general' en• gagement, unless he is absolutely forced to it by the Allied Sovereigns. Their confidence in their armies must, on the contrary,be unbounded, and their plass have been digested by no common mind. BONAPARTE may be trice mote successful n is true—he may again return to his capital with a Twenty-ninth Bulletin—and by an affected shew of candour wing the last drop of blood from the unhappy country which he governs, to be expended in another mad in vasion of the unoffending nations hround him—but all good men will offer their supplications to Heaves for the success of the great cause in which the Allied sovereigns have embattled their subjects against hints O Tuou! whore captains they account themselves, Look on their fortes with - a gracious eye! Put in their hand* thy bruising irons of wrath, That they may crush down, with a heavy fall, The usurping helmets of their adversaries! Make them thy ministers of chastisement, that we OUT praise thwrits TNT victory ! Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was 'field At she Foreign Office. Preparations are making for the return of the Ponca 2"OtN ' t to Carlton. Ouse, on Saturday or Sunday. The PRINCE Rzonrr, it is understood, will g 0 in state to open the Session of Parliament, on Thurs day nein. The Duke of COIREIELAND is with the Hanoverian niment.

The following are all the details of this gratifyibg neat with which we are as yet acquainted : 44 HARWICH, OCT. W. gi By the Simnel and Mary fishing vessel, which ar. rued last night from Heligoland, we hive received the' pleas?ng intelligence of the capture of Oldenburg, by the enterprising Max=Boau—day not mentioned; this veseel.sailed on Sunday, at which time there was nothing new front the armies near Leipsic.' A large fleet froin'Gottenburgh has been passing all day, and several transports have put into this harbour ; in them the Spanish troops, which deserted some time since from the French Army, have arrived. The Lord Duncan packets hourly expected from Got. tenburgh. The several outward.bound packeti, with three sets of mails, are yet detained by contrary wind." Government, however, have received no intelli gence whatever as yet on the above subject. Letters from Heligoland of the 24th instant have been received at Hull. The accounts from the ,Allied Arn3y, in the neighbourhood of Leipsic, mention, that no engagement had as yet taken place between the hostile armies up to the 18th, but add, that their respective positions, and the prepara tions that had been made on both sides, .rendered it extremely probable, that before the lapse of !many hours, a great battle would be fought. A letter from Altona, dated October 17, says, the French Mails of the Sth, 9th, and 10th, have not yet arrived. Wranson, f7.—Yesterday morning her Ma nny, accompanied by the Princesses JELIZAISTiI . End MARY, honoured Mr. and Mrs. VySit with a visit at their. seat at Stoke green.--The Princess Auourra is lot sufficiently recovered to leave the Castle.—The Princess CHaatorrr., as usual, rides on horseback.in the morning, and in the ahernoon in her phaton, when the weather permits. ROYALHotrr.—Monday. a numerous assemblage of sportsmen met at the Blackbirds, near Waltham Common, when, soon after ten o'clock, a deer was turned out, which, taking to the left of Broad Com mon, went through the woods by the Bill and Bear, taking to the right, towards Hare Hatch, and went through the lnclosures, where he . was taken, near the Seven Stars, on the Reading Road, after a very ex cellent run of upwards of two hours and a half. WHITECHAPEL SOCIETY TOE THE EDUCATION or THE Poott.—The ceremony of laying the first stone of a building designed for the Instruction of 1000 poor Children of this and some surrounding Parishes, took place yesterday. At eleven o'clock all the boys and girls from the different schools, to the amount of about 800, 'attended prayers at Whitechapel Church. The fluke of CLARENCE, the Loan MAYOR, several of the Aldermen, &c. &c. were present. Prayers were read by the Rev. D. MATIIIAs, the Rector, and an eloquent sermon preached by the. Bishop of Low- DoN. At three o'clock the procession from the church to the ground, in the rear of the workhouse, took place, when his ROYAL HIGHNESs laid the first stone with the usual ceremonies. The Company afterwards repaired to the City of London Tavern, where they partook of a sumptuous dinner. Saturdaynight being very tempestuous, four French prisoners endeavoured to effect their escape from Por chester prison, by cutting through the ward they were confined in, and afterwards scaling the walls. The thunder was so loud, and the rain poured down in such torrents, that three of them succeeded before the sentry posted on the-wall discovered them. When he did, he seized the fourth, mad gave the alarm, and another was taken ik the barrack-yard. The other two ran off, but were immediately pursued, and soon retaken, one on Portsdown-hill, near the monument of Lord Nelson, the other near llorndean. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have been pleased to inform the Committee at LLo'n's, in reply to an inquiry respecting the sailing tromWingo Sound of the fleet expected from the Ba ltic, that, by a letter received from Captain Rye, dated in Wingo Sound, the 21st instant, the convoy was to sail from thence the following day, but he does not mention under what farce; and that Admiral YOUNG, the Comman der ir. Chief in the North Seas, has been appused of the intelligence received respecting the two French frigates which were seen on the Coast of Scotland on the 22d instant. The following is a copy of a letter from Capt. W. CLARK, of the ship Friends. to his Agents in London : " WINOO SOUND, OCTOBILIL O. 44 This will inform you of my sate arrival at this place yesterday, after having had a most disagreeable passage from leaving the Nore, with almost a con stant rain, and several strong - gales, particularly the one on the 14th, from W. to S.W.—such a gale I have not felt since the 3d and 21st of November, 1801, when so many ships were lost in the Baltic and on the coast of Holland. We kept company with .the convoy the very last ship, and parted at the beginning of the gale, off Robsnout, at four in the morning, when we hove-to, under a close-reefed try sail, that soon gave way ; we then set a little off the peak of the main-sail, about eight feet from the boom, and, in heaving, some of the roving* of that gave way also, and, at five in the evening, were drifted up abreast of the Scaw, and in sight of it y and about seven the pie ceased, and it fell - little wind and.veered round tothe northward with gentle breezes, which run us down to Wingo ; and at daylight we came in here. In the course of the gale; we shipped several heavy seas, stove-in the waste and spatter-boards, and set every thing adrift uptin deck, and stove-in one of the dead-lights and cabin-windows. All this is but a trifle to many of our convoy—some on shore —.some lost masts, boats, &c. Yesterday I counted 4 0 3 sail on shore, between the castle and the town ; and to day I have been down to Wingo, or Hawk Roads, and saw several on shore them". 11 - PAIRAS§tii.

In the evening the women were sent on shore, preparatory to their sailing. More troops are expected, who Witl embark on board the tran►ports Nos. 5, 603, 388, 638, and 349. On the 23d instant the Oxford Militia sailed from Bristol for Cork. The 2d battalion of the 15th Font, being nearly complete, expect to be ordered on service forthwith. The 56th, or Pompadours, are to have a Sd batta lion, the two battalions are at present in India. Monday se'anight, the 3d, or Old Buffs, marched into Lewes from Horsham, on their route to Battle and adjacents. The 45th left Lewes on Wednes day, for Bletchington. They are succeeded in Lewes Barracks by the South Cork Militia, who marched in on Friday from Brighton. The following statement was received from an Officer of rank, who was an eye witness of the fact 2 If About a week before Marshal Soms made his last attack on our position in the Pyrenees, in which be was completely repulsed, we observed coascripu daily arriving by hundreds, in coloured clothes ; these men were taken to the river between the two armies, washed, and then &mei in regimentals ; they immediately proceeded to be drilled, and prat tised in firing. With these raw, soldiers, after the' short period mentioned, the assault on the lines was made, and the Marshal was distinctly seen, in person, repeatedly rallying them, and leading them on, until they plainly refused to advance. The retreat ram =need arindingly. It is to be observed, that it was in this attack the Spaniards alone repulsed the assailants." MURDEPL—Last Friday se'nnight, the body of Thomas Deady was found murdered, apparently with a pitchfork, which was found near him, outside of C;trrick•on-Suir, on the Clonmel road. He had sold pigs on Thursday at the fair of Carrick, and towards evening, on his way home, took some refreshment at a public-house; which he left at seven in the evening, and sear which his body was found. He was a quiet, industrious man, and is supposed to have been mur 'dered for the sake of the money which he had received at the fair. Sunday sennight, a number of men armed, went to the house of John Hartigan, of Cratloe mountain, near Limerick, into which they broke, and forcibly carried away Catherine Beery, daughter of Laurence Scary, of Knockshanaway, County of Clare.—The party were stopped near Ralahine, the young woman taken from them, and Patrick Fahy, one of the gang, taken into custody. The sailors may well complain of flinty biscuits, If the kind contractors for that article make them of plaister of Paris. - An old rogue having been sentenced to die, and having been actually hanged, a stickler for justice, who heard that he had been pardoned, observed, that there was a loop-hole for every villain to creep through. 4‘ So there is," said a bye-stander, 14 but unfortunately for this man, ke could only get hi s through it !" EFFECTS OF HYDROPHOBIA.-9 mad dog having made his appearance in the neighbourhood of Finch ley some days ago, and bitten some animals there, was killed. A pig that had for a long time been the playfellow of some children, was one of the unfortunate creatures that came in the way, and the instinct of the dog, which appears to be a root ed enmity to the pig upon all occasions, did not desert him, even in madness. The pig was dreadfully bitten, but did not shew the effects till yesterday. The owner confined the pig immediately after the bite, to a stye, which was palisadoed very strongly, and, on the morning of Tuesday, he heard a strange noise, as if the whole litter of pigs was attacked by dogs. This proceeded from the animal that was, by an extraordinary power of the hydrophobia, enabled to imitate the ravings, not only of ha own kind, but of the kind by which it was so much persecuted. But the mania did not act merely in noise, for the poor pig tore to pieces all the wood-work about het, and then. applied her tusks to the stones and iron which 'surrounded her, until every tooth was rasped to the ' stomp She was %boo shot by the owner. - NA , Pit MrtilialMfa .
