" On the sth - instant, the enemy attacked our posts at Sippo berg, in the vicinity of Koligocki, and forced our troops, by. a cannonade kept' up *lib gretit vigour., Ao fall back ; , .t.be enemy thereupon threw a bridge auto the river, and formed ano ther attack on our advanced position, which he forced to inalw a yetrogalle movement nod joiti the main body of our troop. posted near Kalajocki river. The Russians continued their a:- tack the two following days, without making the least impres sion on your lajesty's troops.. In the mean time the enemy colt . - structed a bridge across that liver near Alawieska, and ..crossed t with a strati: detschment of iteautry. As soon as revrt of this movement had bent received, orders were given - to attack and repulse the troops, who had passed the river. Althougn this attack proved successful, yet the extreme want of forage compelled the arm to take up another position near Pyhajocki, whence it will fall back to Pakilla ; and I have strong reason to apprehend that; considering the superiority of the enemy aid the want of forage, it will not prone possible for your Alajesty's army to maintain that #o 4 i tion far any length of time. In addi tion to the above Want of forage, which it will be hardly pos sible to supply at the prewnt season, the dampness of the wea ther, and the severe fatigues, sustained by your Majesty's troops under my canonistic), almost continually obliged to he on their arms, have greatly increased the number of the sick, wit° ea ceed 80110, and 4hrose transport and removal increase our ditE cut t ie, in a very considerable degree. Hut in spite of all these difficulties, I shall strenuously endeavour lir impede and obstruct the enemy's progrees, as far as circumstances shall, in any way, C. N.

Whet the said for sail had reached the Maude of ilillarp-reef, six Danish gun .)oat.s aid two armed vessels pot off from Elsineur, and at tacked beadmost cutter, sshich had parted company with the rest that were standing with th.• Swedish coast. The Eng lish cutter fought most rill/wily, bet could hardly have escaped being taken, had not our battery opened upon theeetny, which our tire seemed to do much execution. The 114nish gun-boats thereupon left the latter, and stood to%, Ards the other three sail w hid: immediately Iwgan to cannonade them although at some distance, and three English gun-boats heaving in sight soon after the Danish, gun-boats stood oil, and retreated with all passible haste under the guns of the fortress of Oronenburgh, which com menced a heavy eannonnade, most vigonrously answered and kept up by the English until all the ships bad cleared the Danish coast. • One Danish gun-boat v►as considerably damaged, and nue of ;be enenir's armed vescels is slated to have foundered.

Clf A RGE OF WiTCUCRA lzzard, an elderly dame, of Great Paxton, in Huntingdonshire, was lately accused by her neighbours of having bewitched three persons of the names . if Mice Brown, Fanny Amey, and Alary Fox. The supposi tion was so strongly confirmed by the overwriting of a cart, drawn by a restive horse, the property of a grocer in the village, that her neighbours resolved without delay to indict upon her the summitry punishment they thought she so justly merited. The cottage in which Anti lived with her hu,liand, Wright Lenard, is at some di,tatice from the body of the et Patton. Thither they marched in the silence of night, :opt having reached the door of the poor maii's house, they broke it '.)34.11, and inhumanly dragged his wife out of her bed, awl threw hor naked into the yard, where her arms were turn with pins, 'ter head da-hed against the large . s 40111•3 of the eau-eway, and her face, stomach, and breast severely bruised w ith a thick stick, that served as a bar to the house. In about five days after this. finding the old lady still alive, they paid her a second visit,.and treated her with the same cru •Ity a: before. Learning !hat she was not deal the next morning, they re-uheti to see whether she could ni.t be. drowned at algal, bit fortu nately fur ail parties, this experiment was froe-trated by me timely removal of the poor object to a awighbooring village, w here, under the protection of a worthy clergy man, she now lives free from the further persecution of her barbarous and ignorant nrighbout s.
