This memorable victory has signalized the anniver sary of the Battle of Marengo; that day, when still covered with the dust of the field of battle, our first thought, our first concern was for the re-esta blishment of peace and order in 'the Church of France.

The French must be here wail, and then we shall Dee a termination of the whole business. God grant that a speedy peace may mit an end to all our suf. ferings, and I think it may be obtained. At least, to continue this war, as absui'd as it 1$ unfortunate, would be the Most manifest-folly. In ka., we can. not be sure of any thing. Let us tope that Heaven will save mercy on cat unfortuaite country, 116 cruelly treated by its Allies. May Heaven avert the thunder that threatens to . crash it intirely ! For a mouth pa•it it has been easy to foresee what has happened, without any great share of penetration.' The history of our misfortunes is the history of all bkunan affairs, which must come to an end. It is (truel to live sit the very period of the catastrophe, end to be so near a witness to it. Happy is he who can withdraw to his own solitary fire-side and live. Paceably and unnoticed, enjoying alt the blessing, of a privatelife, without interfering with the bust tsass at the political world. 4( i t i s awy ui the midst of our far:ll6l,in the bosom of peaceful felicity, that we can still hope for hap skess.

At two o'clock in the 'morning: of the t4th Marshal LANs attacked the Enemy, who were at least eight times stronger than his column. The Marshal maintained the battle till four o'clock, -Allen Marshal >foal-Ica, with his corps of the 3d Polish'Legioti, Caine to his assistance. Tlie two -corps, which did nut exceed 32,000 men, sustained for a whole day the furious attacks of the Enemy, whose army was four times stronger than ours and• possessed several local advantages.' At noon the.Zmperpr arrived upon the field of battle with his guard: At 'font o'clock all Our columns were united, and the Emperor took'the command, • in order to put an end. io the battle by. his Ilia ncenvres. At six o'clock Marshal Nay attacked the Enemy's left wing, and, in a moment, thehorizon was quite overcast with smoke mid Anst. The gnetuy had but one bridge to erect his retreat 'over the Ade, and a great quantity of artill.tr , , carriages; baggage, &ci. went into the Alle, together with no small number of men and horses, Between Fried land and .Planstendorl, only half a league distant from each other, several islands appeared to have been 'formed of the materials scattered by the Russans in their flight. In order to cover their retreat; the Russians set tire to that part of Friedland beyond the bridge. At ten at 'night, the battle and the' can nenade, which had listed the whale day, ceased, and then thr; cries and groans of the wounded were alone heard. Even now, four days after the battle, we have not finished bringing in the Enemy's wound ed.' General DoMBRoWsKI is wounded in thn same leg which was hurt before, in the battle of Dirschau."

The Generals Dostanowsta and ZkYOWCZETH had" marched for Grodnci before the Armistice was concluded. TuoaN, Jv Na t B.—We are very desirous here to learn what account h the Rtissitan General in Chief, BENNIGSEN, will give the'Emperor of RvsstA of the battle of Friedland, and whether he will not again assert that he has been tke winner, as , he said of the battle of Eylau, .and as the Russians also boasted of the battle of Msterlitz. Surely he will not again say, that he retreated from Guttstadt,,beyond Tilsit, and the Niemen,. a space of O. leagues, merely to ieek for ammunition, cartouches, &c.

HAMBUROH, Jut? 3.—(Ptivate Letter.)--The situation of this city, is becoming every day 'more dis tressing. A body of Spaafgh troops are now on •their march hither, to replace our Dutch garrison, who are under orders for Mecklenburgh. Yesterday and to-day, th'ealvanced corps of the Spaniards arrived ; some of them are well dressed, , but the majority make the most ragged appearance. One Spanish division of 14,000, is now on its route through Mentz, to join the army of General BRUNE ; ano ther, Of like force, is on its' march, by Wesel, into HanOver.—Three thousand Bavarians are in garri son at Lunenburgh, and are, with Spanish and Wirteniburgh troops, to form a camp between that city and Zelle.

A than of tile name of LAURRNCS • WO3 most barbarollCly murdered by three me n, armed with' tire-arms, who came to his bousemi the 13n,1s of Ballynavin, within three miles of Clonmel..on the night of Wedne;tday last. His mother .iees in a small cabin within a hundred yards of the son's houSe, and hearibg people passing by her , door, got up to speak to them, supposing them to be her two sons. On. coming - to the' doer or her si,n's, house she found' three men attacking it. Thy, made her kneel down and cover her face, w;th her . hands whilst they were perpetrating the horrid deed. They first rapped at the dolt., :m.i on. being spoken to from within, demanded a bridle and saddle, and received for answer that tl,oy should have a bridle, but that there was no saddle in the house; the deceased half opened the door and threw out the bridle, holding the dpor he tween him and the assassin, Who fired through' the, door with such deadly aim that the after • passing through it, and a very thick ledge, entered between the ad and 3d rib, above the left breast and passed in a diagonal &realm - ) through the right shoulder, and after going quite through, hit the wall just behind where the ,luau' Stoat, and was found on the ground. The pool-411:m felt into his brother's arms, and never spoke a word after : a second shot was fired at the brother, and grazed his arm near the elbow. The assas,ins thin com pelled the surviving brother to take an oath that he would go to Dr. Greene and desire: him to com pel James Barret to surrender - to Miss Imnerpn few acres of ground which he holds true her. The motive assigned 'for so cruel an adt is as follows: A man of the name of Henry Shea held this ground, about sb acres, for two years, after which it was given to a man of the nameof James Barret, who has held it for four years back; and who was twice attempted to be assassinated, and owes his protee-. tion to a strong slated house. A young WOltlail, not twenty years old, was com mitted to the gaol of Longford last week, for the murder of her husband, an .athletic youn g roar,, at Ruskey, in that County. It appears they bad not been married for more than, six months and lived together very unhappily; her father had forced the marriage contrary to her inclination. She made the unfortunate man intoxicated, and with :he as sistance of two females, younger than hersell,"when he was asleep, accomplished her dreidful porpost., by fastening a pair of -tongs round his neck, and strangling him. She and one of her, acroinphees have confessed their guilt. It does 'nut apnear th at she was influe nce d t o commit this' hortid atrocious as by an attachment to any other person • • LONDONDERRY, JUNE 30.—A shocking a& was perpetrated on Sunday morning last, on a soldier belonging to the 30th Regiment, thuir centin-1 at the bridge. He was seen at five o'clock in the morn ing on his station,. in purred quiet, and no person passing pr repassing, and shortly after - found with the back sinews of one of his legs completely cut across. Various circumstances induce the public to suspea that this horrid and diabolical deed was com mitted by himself. \resterlay afternoon, about four o'clock, one of the old houses in Piccadilly, near Hamilton -street, fell down, and though numbers of people were pass ing at the time, no one was hurt. These houses have been for some time in a most disgraceful and dangerous, state, and we trust that sornestnquiry will be made into the condu& of those by whose shame ful negligence the lives of so many persons were en- dangered. Fortunately before the house fell it was waved back and forward by the wind for a few seconds, by which means the persons who were passing near it had time to escape. In the course of the evening the greater part of the other houses fell down. The Miss NORLS gave on Friday evening, at. their house in CaVendiih-square, one of the. most magnifi cent balls and suppers of the season ; upwards o f 500 persons ot the first distinaion and fashion were present. •-- Died on Saturday, at his house in Millman -street, 'JOHN SHOAT; • Esq. of Edlington, Lincolnshire.
