Wansaw, Sen. 6.—A glorious and splendid destiny awaits our happy tummy. his Mljtzty the Emperor Napoleon, our great protector, whose gen att and talents have gisen safety and tranquillity to .many kingdoms of Europe, will, we are assured, soon deign to make known his beneficent intentions in nu: favour.

Some Rus. siau maraul.rs h•lve committed many excesses on the frontier, i.f the [linnet of Temiswar. They write from Wallachia, that the Russians have shewn a il , spniition to undertake -the siege of Orsowa, a Tui I:ish fortress on the frontiers of the Baunat, and which the Austrian troops did not take in 1790 till after a bloody and obstinate siege. The Serviaus ought In furnish the artillery for the week -of sows, but we doubt much whether lhey have train, sufficient for so difficult a siege. The ezportotio* of corn and cattle frnin Wallachia to. the Auttrimi States is strictly I . e. bidden. PRLIBURGI strT. 1.-RlitISCIlUk has not yet-ea. .pitalated. The garrison continues to make fregnime sorties, the results of which aro alterwistely in Its favour, or that of the army which is commanded' by General Sass.

TrIE STATESMAN. LONDON: -.00....... TIIIIIIIIIMAY, OfTOBER 11, 1810. This day arrived four Gottenburgh Mails. The following are the principal articles of intelligence brought by these Mails : (Minato: SsrT. 22,—Count ROS4N, one of the Nobles who composed the Deputation sent by the Diet to announce to the Emperor NArousoa sod the Prime of Pot:Tr. COR vo, that the choke of Crown Prince bad unanimously &Ilea on the tat= ter, returned here yesterday. _ _ . We are assured that the Deputation was received in a most distinguished manner by both of those illustrious Personages, andlleat the Emperor N A roLRON not only expressed his perfect meat to the Patsies's acceptance of the dignity offered him, but has written a letter of felicitation to his MAJESTY on this Nippy event. The PRINCE has rikm addressed It letter to his . NAJ LATY on the are occasion. His Royal Highs:et would, it IV is said, leave Paris 14 days aft, r Count ROSIN. The din panure of ii.s AIAJZSTY for Stutli holm has been postponed. .1 Outgun, SETT. '.:1.-.4111 Royal Majesty was this day pleased, at an extraordinary meeting of the Chapter of the Weraphine Order, to create PRINCE JouN BAPTIST J ut.tos, erected Cro.i afthe K iigsiom of Sweden, n Knight of the above Order, inverting him at the same time with the right of wearing the Grand Cross of the Order of the Sword and North Star.—( Stockholm Gesstte. Sepl•2B.) We are quite unable to relieve the public anxiety, respecting the English army iu Portugal. There is no doubt Ministers have accounts of a later date than those already before the Public; but they keep this kind of secret better than any other. A letter brought by a passenger in the Marlborough packet, says— " The precipitate retreat of our army to within about 25 knees of l.i.hon tars caused considerable alarm here. Marshal 111razsroao is at Coimbra, and Lord WELLINGTON:a Mar ttALl, about 11 leagues in his float. The enemy pu.hed on with three formidable column, and were at Vizeu by the last accounts. before I shall have an opportunity to write to you again, it is likely sn,sething serious and decisive will have taken place; 1 have, however, great ronfidenee iu our gall.int army, and think the Freon h will pay dear for 0- ir temerity." There is no penal) who has not confidence in• entr gallant army-:-there is so courage or strength ;hat can beat the English, with equal numbera.- -. But what do this courage and s , retigth gigs*, it it is misapplied, and if it is thrown away ! Lord Wtct.luo-rom has retired from one strong position to another, till at length he must re.. tire into the strong holds near Lisbon, ,r ns.., embark, or fight a general battle. It is scarcely probable that be will turn round and attack the enemy. Then, if befig'its, he will wait the ene.• my'- attack somewhere. But this is the very thing thit induces the fear that he will suffer great loss, if not a defeat. The enemy will not attack, but witli'suporior,numbers—that is to say, he selects the point on which lie makes his attack, and brings up his main strength against that. Lord WELum4- TON'S army is posted, not in any one strong holct, r brit in several such, making altogether a strong m i l sitlon. The enemy, therefore, takes one or tool of these in haul, with a force that catei be with: stood, and then Lord WELLINGTON must take titer strung position, or sustain a general defeat. titslll has nothing to do with the bravery of our troops. It is spite another question; and upon my Lord WLLLIIGTON'S system, an army must be Widen ninety times out of one hundred. We are &post ashamed to repeat all this ; but the abettors • • to in A.001A241 .'-. ~. _ • • of the WELLESLEY plan of fi‘hting gireviihoir hay,- and carried three vessels, laden with tins. consolation in a thousand shapes, although all of the bar At for building frigates ; one they were obliged same nature, and we can only repeat our rases: -to set fire to, as she grounded in towing out.— for rejecting it. We have noticed their fernier After this exploit, performed under a heavy fire modes df consolation ; we have another to look at.' from the batteries, the gallant seamen and manliest, They tell us, that Lord WELD Nero!. may retire headed by their °Moen:, landed, rushed up the rocks, iato the strong position in the neighbourhood of killed the continel .at the battery, put the guard Lisbon; and that this, at least, is impregnable, to flight, spiked all the heavy guns, tumbled them . becitiTte the circumstance of that being impregnable over the rocks into the sea, and with three times made the necessity and excuse for the celebrated three cheers brought off threebrass twelve-pounders and cver.to.be reprobated CONTENTION of CIN. to the boats. They accomplished the whole of this brilliant affair without the loss of a man. Lieut. Tna. We have first to observe, that this famous Convention was to be excused, when the fins story LITTLE, of the Royal Marines, Misfile only person wounded. , lust an arm, but is doing very well. was told of this impregnable position ; but that nobody believes the story. Secondly ; it is to be :remarked, that if my Lord WELLINGTON gets into this strong - position, and remains to be beaten there, it is not very likely that the French wit sign . a CINTRA-CONVENTION, in your fa vour, but that it Is more probable that they _,„, LIM transport your troops. to loathsome Prisons iu Fraoce, instead of carefully conveying and convoy. ing them home, to return and fight themselves au.' other day. The French do oat do these things with their enemies ; and you will be fools to ex. pect that.--We see ao consolation. in any part uf , • this subject, but we do see a great deal that is other. wise. News frum Spain, received through POstvgaii, states; that the French *lon were in Gastonia and ita neighbourhood, having -iiiitubfed in Zsrsa.Major, the Wino ry and cavalry filed off for Portugal, .and the artillery by the Gate of PeraleS—oll destined for the army under MASSENA.—To be sure! MAsSENA will collect every man, from every quer. ter, e hen he means to push Lord WELLINGTON to extremity. And these, and other French troops, will he in time to be in at the grand struggle—that is to say, reasoning upon my Lord WELLINGTON'S' 0 past policy, fur he will neither attack the enemy in tine nor come away. It is really painful to ar. gee in this manner from day to day—but what can one do? There is no anch thing at arguing other. wise, with any hope of success, or any show of probability. By a vessel which arrived yesterday from the coast of Portugal, a letter has been received from Viana, dated the 28th ult. io which . it is said, that on the 24th there was a smart skirmish between the rear-guard of Lord Wet.LlNurdir, mid the no of M .4SENA. • • The French troops which occupied !Arius, Bi. envenida, &c. have withdrawn by the road of Gua. dalcanal and Constantia. Letters from Madrid state s that JOSEPU had gone from thence to Eatagusaa. —Pa; to the '2d instant aro Dutch The Alban cutter, of 12 guns, was captured on the 12th instant, off the Scaw,hy six Danish gun. bolts, carrying 10, 24, 18, and 8 six.pounders, after an action of four hours, in which the Lieu. tenant and one man were killed and three wounded. Owing to its being a dead calm, the "IMO could MA ChM with the enemy. We haii.gisvo Mr. COSSETT*II Tenth Letter ' respecting'Pipir and Gall The Ninth Letter was a digression ; and related to the circumstances con. nected with the misfortunes of GOLDSMID'S house, on wtilph we bad already commented very much at. large. In consequence of the dangerous . ktdispoeition of the Princess AMELIA, his Kt.relair did not tome to town yesterday to Wm kprivate.Levee as usual. .

The Physicians, however, re maiii in constant attendance upon her. The Prince of WALE', and all the Royal Dikes arc at Windsor. The Countess V. HARRINGTON was about to pro . . coed to Windsor, yesterday morning, .to take leave of her MAJESTY, previous to her setting. off for Ireland, but she received an intimation, that the QUEEN would not be able to see her) nor.does she see any body owing to the, state of the Princess AbIt.LIA. . The Commissioners of Military Inquiry are pre paring another Report on the Ordnance Depart ment, which, it is said, wilt be equally interesting as their Report on the Medical Department of the Army, and on the Barrack Department. The late failures in London include twelve prin. ci pal houses, two of which were Bankers. The mer. made transactions of each may be estimated at an average at 300,0001. so that the failures of the whole ail, at that moderate calculation., extend to 3,600,0001. Forty-one thousand nine hundred 111011 -- ainety quarters of wheat were imported *obits the first seven days of this month in the port of Load .n. . It is now said- that the arrangements for re. constructing Drury.lane Theatre are all completed. The Freeholders of the counties of Fife, Wig. town, and Perth, lately held meetings, at which se. veral resolutions were unanimously agreed to against the prohibition of distillation from grain. The Bank began paying the Dividends on tha.4 ' per cents. and reduced yesterday. to the Bankers. This day those who have lists will be paid. The public at large will begin to receive their dividends" on Saturday, which is sooner by several days than the usual period. The Honourable General HOWARD, who lately commanded at the.

The use of this, both in guarding the sacred testimony of na. 1 linnet venbratien, and in making that guard con. ducive. to the grand purpose of rewarding naval heroism, is an admirable combination, and well deserves' imitating in similar circumstances. Few things are more disgraceful to the national character ' than the mutilated state of many of our public statues and monuments, both within and wilbou( walls. I . The daring roliberf Cotiiiniffed at the Inversmith's in Piccadilly is another proof of the inefficiency of 1 the present system of watching. Had any watch-- man been near the spot, this outrage would never have been effected. Associations should be imme diately formed in every parish throughout the me. tropolis, to counteract as much as possible the dc. predations we have reason to fear the ensuing winter.

Au article, under the date of Vienna, the 18th ult. communicates the substance of a fourth Turkish Bulletin, announcing the most im. portant victory which the Porto has obtaiued since the commencement of the war an the Danube. 'By an operation, combined with as much skill as it was executed with bravery, a Russian corps of between seven and eight thousand men, which covered the siege of Varna, on the side of Adria. nople, was annihilated at a blow. This took I place on tht 6th of August. The Russians are ac. know lodged to have displayed uncommon cou rage and discipline. Although _attacked, at the same time, in front and rear by a 'very superior Turkish force, they maintained the unequal contest with extraordi. nary resolution for eight hours, tvbee,-they yielded to the irresistible impetut of Ottoman bravery tied enthuriasm. A few more such disasters will prnini:a bly open the eyes of the Emperor A. GE3tA•Ntliii.: : jai? the mischief of the policy he is pursuing. The project ascribed to BONAPARTE of re-neta.. , blishing the kingdom of Poland, is adverted to, a way not to be misunderstood, in a letter from' Warsaw. The " glorious and splendid destiny" which is stated to await that happy country, can hardly mean any other political change titan the re vival of the monarchy.. . . A letter from Kuningsbergb of the 20 tilt. states, that on the arrival of Gusiravvs Ai:mufti's in that city, the S wedish Consul paid his respects to 'him, and was informed by his Ex-Majesty that he was proceeding to St. Potersburgh, by invitation from the Emperoe ALIZANDER. ~..• ..• Accounts were yesterday received from.
