Lads of Paris" that their Emperor is either able •Or willing to follow the Russians much farther for the present. The circumstance of his ordering back the 100 pieces of cannon from Magdebourg to Dant ; *l c, may be regarded as a strong indication of his in iention to confine his present campaign to thecapture !'9,f Riga, and his consequent demarcation of the -'Duna, (not the Dwina, as it bas been erreasowly r „named on the authority of most modern maps) as ;the boundary of the Russian Empire. But we have - our doubts whether the Russians will suffer him to .'ytnjoy his "repose" at Witepsk, until all this is ac , eomplished, and we shall not be surprised to hear of the bursting of a tremendous cloud Of Cossacks on the " large square" which he has opened before his Palace.

TWELFTH BULLETIN. " WITEPSN, AUGUST 7. A. • the 19th of July. General Grawett says, 64 the battle was long and murderous—the Russians manfully defended their position. Even a detachment, which was cut off, fought to the last extremity—but the bravery of the Prussian troops, although their number was inferior, and the good conduct of the Officer: and Chiefs, triumphed over the Russians ; at half-past eight at night they were forced at all points; and put to flight." The prisoner are said to amount to some 'hundreds ; the Russian loss is not stated. The fifth, is from the Duke of Reggio, dated Biala, I Slat of July, and states, that having arrived upon Kleahilsow on the 30th of July, he learned that Ge-1 neral Wittgenstein was advancing in force upon Ja coubovo, who, in effect, debouched, and commenced action with the 26th Regiment, which continued all 1 that day—that OR the following morning the Russians renewed the attack, and attempted to take the Castle of Jacoubovo, into which he penetrated ; but was driven from it with the loss of 500 prisoners ; and that the enemy, in the two days, had suffered con siderably. The sixth is from the same, dated Angust 1, giving an account of an attack made the preceding night by the Russians, on the troops charged with the defence of the ford of Sevochina, in which they are represented as having been driven into the Drissd, with the loss of 14 pieces of cannon, 13 caissons, and more titan 2000 prisoners. • Her Royal Highness the Princess of Watts visi ted her Royal Mother, the Duchess ofBnUNsIVICK, at Blackheath. Her Royal Highness drove her cur ride and pair. Lord GWYDIR and Lady Wn.Louciaav entertained a select party of friends to dinner yesterday, at their house at Whitehall. Admiral Bums has taken the ancient mansion of Nether-hall, in Pakenham, near Bury St. Edmond's, on a lease, for his country residence. The Prince Regent's horses have been taken from St. James's Park, which is now occupied by his Ma jesty's flock of Merino sheep. We have already shewn, and, as we think, snit factorily, that the late reports from Corunna of a fresh victory over the French by Marquis Weutucrrou, must have been founded in error; and, were it not for the eagerness displayed by some Brother . Jour nalists to vamp up any thing like the shadow of a victory into a reality, for purposes purely selfish, we should not deign to give the folinwitag letter a place. With respect to the arrival at Falmouth from Co ranna, alluded to in it, eur regular Correspondent of i ris morning reports "No arrivals."

By a Gentleman who has just arrived we have the killowing account of the situation of the Island of Sicily, There are only 9000 British troops on the Island, which are not competent to keep the people in seeder, much less to resist the enemy. The lower ,1 classes are all of them in favour of the English, but 'the Queen's patty, and the Nobles, are against us ; and apprehensions are felt of the success Of their in, trigues by the friends of Great Britain, who do not even consider themselves to be safe under these cirs cuanstances.—The crops are productive beyond every former year."
