Major STURU,63ke.s military achievements sink • into nothing when put in comparison with those of tliq American hero ,and his valiant army. It appears that General Homms, having assembled a force of mounted riflemen, set out for the purpo of inflicting ex emplary punishment on the refractory Kicknpoo,. After having made some progress in his march, the General, with, great politeness, assembled his Officers, and imparted to them the whole of his plans and they, in the trite spirit of military subordination, told him that 'they wouhl let hint know the next day whether they w‘ruld go - on or not. The next day they made a favourable re port, and on they marched till:two unfortunate circumstances occurred, which entirely discon certed the American heroes, and, determined them to retort ; one was a viatent kr:t4t wind, and the other was the arrival of a scottt with intelligence that some Kickapoos were at hand, upon which the whole army (with the exception of the Ge neral and three or four officers) determined to ivake the best of their way home. The Ge tiei al argued, and ordered them to advance ; the army murmured, wheeled to the right-about and retreated. General liar- KM concludes with ohservinifr that the rapidity of their march from the Kickapoo villages was really astonishing ; but he coniohs. himself with the reflection, that the formidable appearance which his troops made will Make a deep impres - upon the Indian tribes, and that this im,. portant service was performed in the most econo mical manner. When we first received the accoents of the disasters of the French in Russia, we ventured to predict that BtIONAPARIT would, be under the ne cessity of withdrawing his troops from Spain, and the accounts received yesterday from Corunna state, that the French are rapidly retreating. The Act is, that, in the present state of France, BUO NAPARTE can neither enforce his new conscription, indPed, ensurr mvo gaiety, withont his. Spanish army, kis probable that lie will endeavour to tAke it position. behind the Ebro ; but as we understand that'the Spanish Regency have deter wintql to phICO an army of 50,000 men under the orders of the Marquis WELLINGTON, they will not be able long to maintain that position., We are told by the leading Party Print this day that " p it is 'pettedly in the style and character of the'illinisteriallriends of the PRINCE Ittu to cast the most gross and malignant aspersions on the Opposition, and then, when any answer is made to the calumnies, to turn round and impute tti them the commencement of a discussion harsh and ungrateful to the feelings of his Royal High- Gentle; etimphini»g souls !,--The w.iters in the Paper alluded to 'never '' cast 'the most gros's and .atalignant calumnies" MimiStry— they never 4 ' commenced a discussion ,harsh and ungrateful to the feelings of his Royal Highness." these writers have lost all recollection (for it would be very illiberal in to accuse them of Icing utterly dead to shame) ; but since their me . - ;Dory is thus treacherous, it may not be iMproper to remind them of their attaeks upon the PatsteE "Ifttcawr, upon the admission of the present Admi riStration into power.

Letters from the French coast state, that,Buo- NVIPARTE has is'aned a proclamation, forbidding every FO'nchman, who served in the late cam paign in Russia, to return to France under pain of death. If eves• an authentic narrative of their unparalleled miseries shall be published by any of the Frenchmen who have escaped, it will unfold the most dreadful tale of horror that has ever been presented to the world. The Marshal of the United Statea for the dis trict of South Carolina, has, it is said, detained in custody, twelve British subjects, as hostages for the lives of six American seamen, who have been taken out of the pi ivracer Sarah Ant, at. Nassau, New Providence, and setit to Jamaica to be tried or treason. The Underwriters of Liverpool have presented elegant silver cup, of the value of 40/, to Captain AiHeck, who so bravely defended his ship, the May, ugainst an American privateer, law summer.

Amongst other eccentric novelties that ap peared in the r trk on Sunday lust, teas a Rus sian sledge, drawn by a chesinit galloway. This vehicle, from its great rarity, attracted much notice. It went along with great rapidity, and apparently with much futility. In it were foreigners, wrapped up in furs a-la. Russo. On it, l eav i ng th e P ar k, it proceeded down St. James' , street, up Pall-Mull, &e. crowds of spectators ti ,1- lowing it. ItiJSSIAT Sl)Bt3RitEri&; A Meeting was yesterday held tt Lloyd's—so lately the scene of Russian sufferings. iii England, for theTurpose of contributing from the'FundS of that Institution to the subscription .in aid of the Russian distresses ; occasioned by the invasion of that country by the French. Mr. MArtuYAT, as Chairman of the Committee, stated, that the present Meeting had &yen conven ed in consequence of a requisition signed by six teen Subscribers ; he Observed, "that the chtirita- . ble contributions of Lloyd's had hitherto been Con fined to naval objects, as being iminediatly Con pected with. the establishment, with the excep tion of a grant that was made to an hospital, which, irons its contiguity to the river Thames, was in the habit of receiving merchant seamen who might meet with accidents. The ill effects that might result from a deviation in the, present instance from general practice, could be obviated by a Resolution that it should not be made a pre cedent for any future demand. lie left the subject, however, to the support of those Gentlemen, who, having signed the requisition, would, no doubt, deliver their sentiments. After a very. considerable pause Mr. DAvtp CARRUTIIF,RS stated, that having signed the Re quisition, he would, by inquiring what was . the present state of the ,Funds of Lloyd's, deter mine what sum., to pt'opase should be given to the Russians. Mr. MAIVAYAT said the Funds consisted of 1E3,0001.3.per cent. stock, and 30001, in the hands of the Bankers. Mr. CArtaurugas observed, he should offer no argument ; the good sense of the Gentlemen pre sent would point out the propriety of subscribing. to the relief' of the inhabitants of Russia, and he would move that 1000/. be voted for that purpose. The motion having been seconded, Mr. BPNTLEY stated, that however painful to deny the calls of humanity, he felt it his duty to resist the attempt to appropriate the 'Vinyls of Lloyd's so differently to the purposes for which they were originally intended; The Chairman had confessed it would be wrong, by propOsing to guard against doing the like in future, he there fore moved the previous quOtCon, which having been seconded, Mr. CHAS. GRANT said, that he had never spoken at a public meeting, b u t w ou ld, w i t h per mission, read a speech upon the subject, which had been, made in another place '(we believe in Edin burgh) by his brother. The CHAU:NAN informed Mr.' Grant that the Meeting would be glad to hear any obsetvations that he'himself might wish to make, but not those of another person not present. Mr. B. SnAw thought that the Russians bad suffered as much in the cause of Great Britain as their own, as by their exertions the commerce of this cOuntry would be benefited. A star had risen front the conflagration' of Moscow, which bad il luminated all* Europe, and would lead to the de liverance of the Continent front the bondage of Buonaparte. The previous iluestion,was then put and nega tived, and the vote of 10001. to the ituss'ian Fund earrie4.: A Resolution was then proposed, that the pre= lent grant shonld not be Made a precedent but, in future, the Funds of•LloyWs should be confined to marine objects. Mr. Rowcitorr congratt;luted the Meeting upon the happy occasion that had called for the vote that had just pass, d—the happiness a Cheat 13ri tain had been in this case in proportion to the miseries of the Russians. AS their sufterings been unparalleled, he did not expect there would recur the opportunity of a. similar vote ; he did not, therefore, se.the necessity of pa s sing u Re solution that it might,not be made a precedent. -.The Resolution was afterwards :withdrawn. The sum Of 1001. was then.voted for the subscription at Wexford, in behalf of the familie s o f 14 Tool who were washed away, whilst employed in the erection of u light-house, 'and the Meeting ad journed, Yesterd►►y the Princess C.IIARLOTTE of Witi•Fs, attended by the Dowager CountesS of Lgkns, left tow►► for Windsor. :Yesterday the Duke of SOssix completed his year,—His Royal Highnesi is recovered from its late indisposition. Yesterday the Dukes of YORK HMI KENT, and he LORD CTIANCELLOR, transacted business with he PRINCR REGENT. The QUEEN is much recovered from her On 'Monday and Tuesday she took au airing in ber carriage. On Sunday evening, between six and seven o'clock, as the Duke of CumaettLAND %vas ri;iiug in his carriage in Hyde-Park, near the entrance into Kensington, the horses took fright, and ran away furiously thropgh the town of Kensington, down the road. Th e carr i age, and those whom it conveyed, would, in all probability, have bevn dashed to pieces, had not the servants called out to the toll-gate keeper to shut the gate, which' he accordingly did; just as the horses had reached it. When the carriage was stopped, the Royal Duke looked out of the window, in the greatest con sternation, and inquired where he was? He got out of the carriage, and remained a short time in the toll-house. He then walked a short distance, and a hackney coach being procured, ha pursued his journey. .Although the road was thronged ith carriages; yet providentially, the horses cleared them all, and no accident happened. Sudden Death.--Yesterd a y a f ternoon, about two o'clock, as Mr. Inman, a •gentleman from Bristol, was returning from the com pany with a friend, at the corner of Bncklersbury, Waihrook, he made a sudden halt, and instantly dropped down de a d. Hi s b ody was immediately conveyed into a neigilhouring house, and after wards removed to Walbrook church, where it now remains.
