southern frontier, the continted o ti ec t o f a l arm to her from the invasion of the Tot ks. The Russian army of reserve, under the command of - Connt WITT RENSTEIN, has received orders to proceed with ell bate through Poland to the frontiers of Nloldnvia, In order to reinforce the Russian army iu that quar ter. 1t is generally supposed that Russia, being now a t liberty and able to prosecute her designs against Turkey, will take possession of Nloldaria, Walla - „Ha, and Bessarabia, like Poland, never to give etun up. It is to he recollected that three years sgo Turkey was indebted for the preservation of these piesinces to the memorable events of that whom Russia was obliged to Le indulgent towards T ut key, in order to be at liberty to employ is whole force against the attack of BoNAPARTE. Angola has thought itself obliged, by these armaments, to adopt, so me measures of precaution in its eastern frontier 1 pvoiinces, but Russia seems disposed to employ still , : more serious measures. The Prussians are continuing their operations nith vigour against the fortresses, and al! their charac teristic inhumanity. A heavy cannonade is kept up against Niontmedy, end fire has broke out iu different places at different times, by which the inhabitants of the place have suffered greatly. To the proposals of the Commandant to capitulate, an answer has been given that no terms will be granted but such as have been granted to the other fortresses. The white flag and professions of loyalty afford no protection. Befort does not seem disposed to surrender an easy conquest to the invader. The garrison, says a let. ter from Chalons-sor-Saone, in the Paris Journals,' has sworn to [vary itself in the ruins of the place ra ther than listen to any terms of capitulation. It is an Austrian General who is commanding the blockade of Befort. Tito fort is situated on the crest of a steep reek, is well provisioned, and provided with a for midable artillery; and the city is also equally cape. ble of defence, so that the siege of this place will be very difficult. Some conception may he formed of the relation which the conduct of 'the commandtrs of the for tresses has bad with the instructions from the Govern ment, from the circumstance of BARBINEGRE, the Commandant of Ilustingnen, having been cited, as private accounts say he bite, before a Commission of 'lnquiry for )ielding up the place, which he, how ever, defended with 149 men against 20,000. The correspondence between him and the Archduke Jolts is stated to be very curious; and it is said that he is told he may retire with his troops into the thirty-five departments coded to Louis XVIII. by the Allied Sovereigns. The city of Lyons has again been saddled with a I contribution of two Millions of francs to cover the cerTices of September. " It is much to bi Wine; sap the Paper width states this fact, " that the Treaty should he signed before October, seeing that if this (vent does not take place, the means of satis fying this demand do not appear." • The Journal de Paris says, the four Commissioners of the Allied Powers, charged with the superin tendence of EuecrAnee, are to meet at an English port, where they will embark for St. Helena. We presume the report said to be conveyed in pri- j rate letters, of Marshal NEY having escaped from the Abbey is untrue. No mention is made of any such circumstance in the Paris Journals ; and if we mistake not NEY has never been in the prison of the Abbey. The assertion that he was to be removed thither was contradicted. We must leave the !tender to make his own com ments on the rest of the contents of the Foreign Pa. p?: s. and conclude by directing his attention to the copy of the Private Letter addressed to ourselves, firm Pa tie, which we subjoin to our translations, and which places the conduct of the Allies and Louts XVIII. in rather a novel point of view. It states 'kat disputes between Foucue and Ta LLEY fre- Inely run very high.

The disbanding of a division of the Army of the Loire, at the dty of Limoges, was a most interesting sight, w hich.will be long remembered.

A letter from Chalons-sur-Saone, of the 14:11 inst. contains the following details : " Defort seems not disposed to capitulate. The garrison has, it is said, sworn to bury itself in the fulls rather than listen to any terms of capitula tion. As the fort is upoe the crest of a steep rock' is well provisioned, and providedpsith a formidable artillery, and the city is equally capable of being de. fended, it is thought that the siege will be long and 1 1 difficult. " It is effirmed that the Austrian' General com mending the blockade of ilefi,rt has summoned the French General several limes, and that at last he has threatened to bombard the place if he did not capitu late before the 15th inst. It appears that the besieged answered this last summons by a terrible fire from the place end the fort. Fresh Austrian troops are ad vancing, and it is announced that the besieging artil lery are ordered up. " Al. Ttlibaadean and his son have been sent from Sei'zerland to Colmar." It is said that M. Maillardet de Fontane, of the principality of Neufchatel, has, after '2O years study, discovered the perpetual motion —the workmanship of the machine is very curious, its construction simple and its power ample. It is, in short, believed, that the inventor fulfils all the conditions prescribed by the different Academies for obtaining the prize.

[DIJTCII MAIL.] BRUSSELS, Seer. 16.—Letters from Lille, which come from respectable authority, affirm, that the Allied Powers have demanded that the town and ci tadel shall be occupied by their troops for a time, and that it was generally believed at Lille, that the King would be obliged to yield to this demand. Arras remains in the same situation as before; the gates are opened for a short time only every day, with various precaetions. The citadel of Calais has an English garrison ; and English troops are expected at Dunkirk. BRUSSELS, Scer. IS.

When ' Cusack, however, showed them that he had sells ' rated the tithe-corn, and haggered it merely for pre sertation, to the proof of which they bad previously and very formally sworn him, they spared his life, and then demanded his arms. Cusack having tried to evade thiq, the same fellow whq fist adeatteed on him, agaiu levelled his blunderbuss at him, telling • Cusack that " there was the piece that killed Bill Maher (whose murder we lately mentioned), and it was his hand that fired it ;" and that he was not in a hurry, but that by his oath, which he took on the same book he had used to swear Cusack, Ito would not quit that place till he got Cusack's life or his gee. With such art argument, supported hy• . such a multitude. of arnted assailants, he was obliged to comply, and gave up the oniy trUti he had, which was registered for his protection.--(Herald.)

The followiog is a more pardis cuter account of that transaction:— On the mottling bef. , te mentioned, about nine !o'clock, Mr. Daniel Keating, of Springmoont, came to Mr. Aldwell's house, and being invited into the parlour by Mr. Aitken, proceeded to inform bitn, that a large party had come the night preceding to his (Mr. Keating's) house; that they demanded ada mittance, to oblige him to swear compliance with • their injunction, which. he distinctly refused; but that ender threats of houghing his cattle, or doing him other damage, they had obliged him to eneage to accompany many people of the parish to his (Mr. Aid well's) house, all of •whom they had forted t.. take a certain oath. Mr. Aldwell having been at the um* tiro, informed tnat the., people w airA abroad ' heiennediutely went out with Mr. K.::tting, DRURY-LANE.—The Duenna was repeated last night, for the purpose of affording Mr. T.
