(Signed) "NAPOLEON." PETERSBURGH, NOV. 2. We have received good news from Servia. General sass has there obtained several successes. The Turks /lave evscuated a fort on the Danube. The garri son, 1500 strong, which attempted to save itself at Widdin, has been defeated; they were all killed or taken. M. d'ltalinsky set out two days ago for Rttdschuk. M. Fonton goes off to-morrow to join him. SULLETIN Of THE MILITARY OPERATIONS OP THE RUS SIAN ARMY IN GEORGIA.. cg There has been received from M. Thormasow, General of Cavalry, and Commanding in Chief the 'Potts in Georgia, a Bulletin dated the 19th Sep tember, from the CAmp of Kaschaklissi, which con tains the details of a signal victory which several Russian battalions and a corps. . of Tartar Cavalry obtained over a corps of 10,000 Turks, near the for tress of Achalkalaki. 44 The Sardar. of Erivan, Hussein Kuli Chan, and the Czarowitch of Georgia, Alexander, General of the Persian army, having failed in their attempt, ad vanced with their best troops into the province of Biback, from whence they marched into the Pacha /yk of Achalyzk, on the frontiers of Carthalinia, with a design to join the forces of Scherif Paella, and then to march upon " General Thomasow having received advices of this, advanced by forced marches upon the Fort of Zalki ; and, leaving his baggage behind, he hastily formed a detachment, consisting of the 9th and 15th regiments of chasseurs, 200 Cossacks, and the Tartar, cavalry, commanded by Major General the Marquis Paulucci, who had orders to penetrate by forced marches into mountains covered with snow, where the. enemy thOtaot himself safe, and to attack *his camp during the night. 66 This enterpize was crowned with the most bed. liant success. Our troops, under favour of the bad weather, approached the enemy's camp in the night pf the,4th September, in the greatest silence, and um; discovered. The Marquis Paulucci then divided his detachment into two columns, and ordered Colonel- Lissanewitk to attack the camp by the right flank, WEile Colonel Peschuskii marched against th 6. left flank. Our troops executed these movements in the greatest silence, and with such precision that the ad vanced posts of the enemy did not perceive them, till the moment when they got-very near the camp. Our two columns then opened a very brisk fire, attacked the camp with the bayonet, and cut to pieces all the nil-kg. and Persians whom . they found there. The terror with which the .enemy were seized became ge- neral. The Turks, unabls to comprehend how our brave solaiers 'could penetrate into the camp, threw themselvei, out .a their senses, into the ditches within their reach, The Sardar Hussein kuli Chan Cza rowitch Alexander, fled, half naked, upon the first discharge, and, availing thelnselves of the darkness, mph refuge in the ditches.- The guard which was near their tents, attempting to resist, were sabred.— Two Persian Chans, and above 700 men, lay dead on the spot. Our sharpshooters, who went down to the ditches, caused an equal loss to the enemy. The camp, very rich, was the prize of the con. quenora, as %sell as four colours, of which one, bear. _ •of - Sardar. epPr..... rirg the arms of Persia, was that of the Sardar. All the arms.and iewas were taken, with a great num- i t eriot bents.

The unfortu nate persons who accompanied General MIRANDA in his expeditions from New-York, and who were made prisonefs, availed themselves of this favourable oppor tunity to apply for a release from their long confine r ment, which request the Provisional Government granted, and ordered their liberation. THE KING. The following Bulletin was issued this day : gg WINDSOR CASTLE, DEC. 8. His MAJESTY has passed a sleepless night, and is not quite so well as he was yesterday. (Signed) " H. R. REYNOLDS. gg HENRY HALFORD. " W. HEBERDEN• ig M. BAILIE. " R. WILLIS." The alteration for only one Bulletin in a day to be issued on the state of his MAJESTY was made by Mr. RYDER, as Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, when he was at Windsor on Wednesday with the Doctors, when he and the Earl of LIVERPOOL had upwards of an hour's conversation with them upon the state of his MAJESTY. The evening Bulletins were indeed always unnecessary. His MAJESTY is expected in town in about ten days, as great exertions are malting for his reception in his apartments. • • Yesterday morning the QUIZ= Led incess &w , . arm took an airing in a canine by Maidenhead, Taplow, &c. and returned to the Palace about two o'chick ; they were accompanied by Ladies ILCHES. TER and CRANLEY. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, Prin cesses AUGUSTA and SOPII:A, took an airing on horse back in Windsor Park, accompanied by Lord WAL. SINGHAM, Lady ELY, Generals MANNERS and CART. WRIGHT. The Prince of WALLS arrived at Windsor on Thursday evening, and yesterday, about one o'clock, his Royal Highness left Windsor for London, after conversing with the Physicians respecting the state of his Royal Father. We are very sorry to learn that the Princess MARY was not well enougb to take an airing with the QuEnt and the other Princesses. . JAMES FARQUHAR, Esq. M.P. is appointed Deputy Registrar of the Admiralty Court, in the stead of Ronzar JENNER, Esq. lately deceased ; and JAMES RIVINOTONWHEELER, Esq. the other Deputy Regi strar, has resigned in favour of JAMES Bust', Esq. PRISONERS OF WAR.—The following is a Copy of Letter which the British Government has ordered the Commissioners of the Transport Board to send in reply to all the demands of French Officers here to be released. It proves that, although the negotiation is broken off, our Government will still soften, as much as possible, the misery of individuals, and ex change, on the principle of man for man, and rank for rank, such of the French prisoners as may obtain the consent of their own Government for their releasr, ‘ 14 Transport-Office, Lowilwt. " Sir—The Commissioners of his Majesty's 11mi1 r r port Board have received your letter, dated the and they have directed me to inform you, that it is the determination of his Majesty's Government not to send back French Officers to their own country, until the Fr - etch Government have released some English Officers, in exchange for the great number of French Officers who have obtained this favour from the British Government; or until the French Govern ment have consented to a cartel, upon the fair basis of man for man, and rank for rank, conformably to the constant usage of civilized nations, which his Ma jesty's Commissioners have frequently proposed, though their efforts to accelerate an exchange have always been ineffectual. " I am, however, to inform you, that if the French Governmynt will send back to England an Officer of your rank in exchange for you, or even certify offi cially to his Britannic Majesty's Commissioners, that, 'upon your arrival in France, an English prisoner of your rank shall be released, you shall instantly obtain your release. a Yon must see, that in'the present state of affairs, your Government alone is the cause of your detention in this country; but if you think proper to make any representation to your Government, you may rely upon it, that his Majesty's Commissioners will faith fully transmit them. I am, Sir, • do Your very humble and obedient Servant, 46 ALIA. NDC&Les, Secretary." • DREADFUL FIRE. .J • 1. • mi•••••••••••••••• Tms !Ranting, abost three o'clock, as alarming ire brialte out in Lisle-street, Leicester . ..cigar; in the extensive premises occupied by Mr. &meow, as the Mexican Coffee-house and American Hotel. We regret to state, that Mr. Santora and his wife perished in the flames. Some lodgers who were in the house, together with thk waiters and female savants, almost without clothing, escaped, partly by the roof, and partly by the street door, upon the alarm being given by the watchman. The fire broke out in the lower part of the premises ; but how it originated is not yet ascertained. In less than an hour after the alarm was given, the whole pre,' mises were completely destroyed. The head waiter, who had narrowly escaped with his life from the con flagration, on hearing that his master and mistress were missing, instantly rushed back into the house but was met on the staircase by such a volume o smoke and flame, that he could not effect his praise worthy object. A servant boy who leapt into the street from a window, is much hurt, but not dangerously. Mr. SIMEON, who unfortunately perished, was an old andfaithful domestic to the late Duke ofPowmArsn, and attended his Grace at his death. He afterwards took the house in question, which/ was fitted up in a supe rior stile of elegance as a Hotel and Coffee-house.— The unfortunate people were but recently married, and had no children. The firemen were, as usual, most successful in preventing the ravages of the de vouring element from extending farther, and in pro ' tecting the property of the neighbours which was re moved during the existence of the danger. The St. James's and the Westminster Volunteers attended with great promptness on the occasion, and rendered every possible assistance to the sufferers in the removal of their property, and in averting the ravages of the destructive element. it is said, that Lord Mayor's day will be celebrated by a grand dinner on the 22d instant. Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the extra ships Cambridge and Lord Wellington for Madeira, Madras and Ben gal, were ordered to be afloat the 14th January, the David Scott, Madeira and Bengal ; new ship building at Chester, Madeira and Bombay, and Moffat for Bengal direct, to be afloat 9ilt March ; and William Pitt, Lady Lushington and Lord Forbes for Bengal direct, to be afloat Bth April next. The ship Warren ' Hastings was taken up and stationed for China direct. The Court adjourned at six o'clock till Tuesday next. The new farce entitled X. Y. Z. in preparation at Covent-garden Theatre, is said to be the production of Mr. COLMAN. A new piece from the pen of Mr. Swale ?ox, was read on Thursday last in the Green-room of the ' Lyceum Theatre, and is to be brought forward im mediately. A respectable farmer in the neighbourhood of Ux bridge gave his daughter, on her first going to board ing -school, a 7s. piece, with a promise that every time she returned home for holidays, the sum then in her possession should be doubled; this promise was strictly fulfilled until the last vacation, whets the sum to be paid amounted to upwards of £13.50. It was then considered expedient to drop the doubling system. Skiddaw, the mountain !wade of Cumberland, and the admiration of numerous visitors from all parts of the United Kingdom, was sold on Wednesday the 21st ult. for the sum of £1,970. The purchase com prises 1732 acres. A Bill of Indictment was preferred and found, on Thursday, by the London Grand Jury, against the, Managers of the Stock Exchange, for a libellous pub lication, reflecting upon a Gentleman who was for. merly a subscriber to that house. The question of the right of entry into Ramsgame Harbour, which our readers will recollect some week* back 'was forcibly contested in the case of a vessel which had been wrecked on the coast, and afterwards got afloat, . and brought to that h arbour, has, c is said, been determined by an appeal to the Laws, as the vessel has been admitted into the basin, as a pre-', paratory step to her farther admission into the Dry Dock. Wednesday last, at a chalk-pit at Broughton, in sent, three horses, the property of P. Geoves, Esq. were killed by a fall of chalk, whilst the servant was employed in loading a cart, to which the horses were attached. The man escaped with a few slight bruises. Early on Sunday morning the premises of Mr. Long, copper-plate-printer, in Clement's-lane, Strand, were broke open and robbed of plate, table cloths, and other valuables to the amount of upwards of £5OO. • Yesterday morning. a single-hoese chaise corning ' into contact with a dray in Holborn, the horse, struggling to disengage the chaise, broke off both the 14bafts, and setoff at full speed, leaving the Gentle ,alsan and the body of the carriage in the street. The *trifled animal ran with great swiftness on the foot pavement towards Gray's Inn-lane, and in his pro gress knocked down several persons, some of whom were dangerously hurt. The coach with the London mail arrived at Mil ford on. Thursday se'nnight, without coachman or , guard. They got down at Staynton (two miles dis -1 cant) to light one of the lamps, when the horses set off at a very brisk rate, and could not be overtaken, though they were pursued by th! landlord of the White Hart Inn, from Staynton to Milfeffd, without any clothes on, except his shirt ; and although they came in at full gallop, reached the Nelson hotel-yard in safety. There was one gentleman in the coith, who leaped out on its approaching the church, with. out receiving the least injury. Tuesday se'nnight, about eight o'clock at night, a fire was discovered in the premises of Mr. Walford, shoemaker and shopkeeper, in Wroxton, which break ing out in a fuel-house, raged for a considerable time with great fury; but by the timely arrival of the en- 's .
