WARSAW, JAN. 17.--M. Sorota, of the 9th ca valry regiment formed in Lithuania,, escaped on the 2311 of Decembd from Novogorod, where be wal detained by the Russians as a prisoner of war. He had an opportunity of seeing the Russian army in detail;'and found it extremely weak, and glinost in complete disorganisation. A few days previous to its march to Grodno; which took place at the comnieneement Of this month, there was in Novo govod a corps consisting of 19 reginients,whieh had scarcely 5000 men under arms. General Kittusoff had abandoned ,the command of the.grand which by cold, marches, and sickness, was ex tremely reduced. He-has given it to Admiral Tschichagoff, and taken th e command of the corp belonging to the latter, which although reduced t o less than half its original force, is yet in a 'better state than the grand army. • It is said that Admiral Tschichagoff will not remain long with the. army. They cannot forgiVe him for having all Owed himself to be so complete ly beaten upon the Beresina. It is announced, that M. Barclay de Tolly will succeed him. Disease makes very great ravages among the Russian troops. Many Generals of rank have al ready'fallen victims ; and•among the lOsses most lamented, is reckoned that of the Prince of Hol- Hstein Oldenburg, husband of the'Cl•mul Duchess Catherine, who died ,Of an hospital fcver at Twer, on ':he 27th of December laSt. This intelligence has reaChed Prince Schwart -ienberg's corps, whiCh is tranquil in its position of ' The Saxon corps, c.othmanded by General Rey nier, is at Oketnion. • There has lately been a trifling st.,;rinish with the Russians. By seeing four regiments of. Cos,- sacks, aid two regiments of Russian 'dragbons', beaten by a Saxon battalion of infantry, we are confirmed in the opiniow justly : established here, that the Rus , ;ians, greatly fatigued, now fight worse than they did throughout the campaign. The levies from this Duchy are carried into ex ecution With the greatest success. The light cavalry of Great Poland,' already forme d as a Cos sack . cotps, manage the lance with, as mach ad -dress as if they had been embodied for a length of time-,-distinctive character of the Polunder, to becone in a short space., a soldier equally dis ciplined as brave ! NVENNA, J. 15.—1 t is confirmed by the last letters from Hertnanstadt; that a numerous' Corps of Turkish troops hail proceeded_ up the Daimbe to attack NViddin, where Paella Mollah had. eon ' centrated his forces.

The enemy had had nt Astorga for a cow siderable ti► e. a company of miners, who wete employed in destroying the fortifications.

The fol lowing from the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy, is g iien us a specimen Sire,—The losses which the premature ri gour of this seas on occasioned the G ra nd Army on its return from Moscow were felt by your people of Italy, as a national calamity. Love of the country, the pride o the Italian name, the sentiment of individual dignity, tran quility, prosperity, present happiness, and fu ture hope,—all are lost, if a wall of brass does not separate civilized Europe from the barbarians of the North ; if the European,Continent is not secured against the i'.orrupt influence of the Br;iisli cabinet; •---.[ recent perfidy of a Prussian Ge neral is a proof of it. To arrive, Sire, at this , the object of all your fatigues,--.of all your saw ificego—of all the perils to which you expose yourself, who tides not feel that arms and p.rinies, gold, valour , fide lity, and constancy , are necessary 'f.,`very Ple thing which depends upon them, Sire, your peo of Italy are eager to offer you. This is not the counsel of authority it e,nits from conviction, senthueut,—a geureal cry tint our existence re . quires " This Kingdom, Sire, is your work it owes trl von its protectiag, lot's, its Monnrcents, its , roods, its canals; it owes to you toe prosperity of mut or indostry. Twenty t!ioir•and Italians only wait for orders to join the Graod Army. The Isepartmental battalions . burn to share the honour with it. The Athninktrators of the Communes contend for the honour of of fering horses' and cavaliers. The wishes of the nation outstrip the demands which neces , ity ex acts, or foresight counsels.» In the absuce of ti)e Prince, your image, who anticipates, under es ery circumstance, the dispositions 'requisite for the good of the country, the Italian senate, deprived of the happiness of being near your Intperial Ma jesty, begs yoti to believe the siuceriry of its sen timents, and.with goodness receive the homage, .which, by its organ, the nation lays ar your feet. The Senate dees not speak of the fidelity, the love, which binds it - to your august - person, to • your family : all feel but t,nie wish as they have but one duty, that of assisting with) all their strength, and all their means,, the gr.at designs which prudence commands your Majesty to exe cute, for the glory and prosperity of the empire, and of the kingdoth." The greatest energy prevails at. present in the disposition and direction of the I\l'avy;. in addition to the number of fir frigates lately ordered . to be built, twenty sloops, of a large class have been laid down to be completed as quick as possible; and an order has been issued to establish all the 38 'and 40 gun frigates with an increase of men and an ad tioual Lieutenant, which is tobe carried into effect immediately, The Scarborough, 74, and Rifipon, 74, at' Portsmouth, in a .new state, are brought lOward for service, and severalsothct line of lyttle sh;ps are orderedito be completed with:all..pys- sible dispatch.

They are two young men, .of the names ,of Ruddock and. Carpenter, neither of whom has yet attained the age of ,twenty ; they Were ,born in the vicinity of Irome. Carpenter turned King's evidence, by whom the following circainstanees attendant on the atrocious act were detailed :.---Carpenter, it appears, borrowed the fatal gun of the father of a voting woman.to whom he paid his addresses,' under pretence of selling, it to great advantage He proceeded ‘vith Rtuldoek to Mr. Webb's house, which he entered, and asked for work.—" Ah ! you rogue,'' aid the old Man, jocosely, '" you don't want work—'tis only itn excuse for a jug of drink ;---fetch him .4 cups Thank you, Sir," said the fellow ; " but here's Ruddock at the door."—" Is he 'i" replied Wcbbf---" Oh ! then we must have a' WO mug, my maid.'' Whilst, the girl went out,to obey her master's hospitable order,. Carpenter - beckoned to his companion, who stood at the door, and' pulled the trigger of the gun at his de . - voted victim : it missed , fire ::but, on another at , ; , tempt, it went . oir, and fatally succeeded I The servant, rushing in at the moment, endconured to escape from the murderers, when ltuddock overtook her, cut her throat, and, with the'assist ance of Parpenter, thrust her into a well, where it is supposed she lingered some hours. The vit.. lains then prOceeded to rifle the house, and after wards hid the gnu in a neighbouring wood.— Carpenter attended .the sale of the old man's ef fects, an* with the greatest composure bid for se veral of the articles ; and on Sunday last heard a funeral . sermon preached at a chapel is FrOme, allusive to the dreadful deed, in which he had been :so principally concerned; but it is supposed the compunctions of his conscience woold..not have accelerated the diScoVery, had not his frequent incautious boasts of money led' to _suspicion, and the "ultimate detection of hintiell and hi i blOod» thirsty accomplice. • • the , 16th last, as ,a boat which hair Veen out rrhig fishing near Dun fanaghey, il.ns . returning to the shore, it was up s4hy a. wave, and, melancholy to relate, the 'consisting of iii t: men,' were precipitated /*Acidic.

He was proceeding ,with his cart to Stain. ford, having, with him as passengers, Mrs. Pars. of Decping, and her infant, when three footpads caMe up to him at the above-mentioned place, one of whom, whilst' ohe other .seized the horse, without parley, 'discharged a pistol loaded with two balls at Palmer, who was then sitting in the cart beside his passengers, and little expecting such a salute. One of, the balls, we regret t'o hear, entered the fleshy part of 'Palmer's left arm, and the woman who was his passenger' had a very narrow escape from the other, as it passed close by her face. Fortunately Palmer was.het ter pre pared for deleuee' than these veretehes,antiicip%ited, Asaviag a pistol with hiM, which, though wound ed, he instantly presented at his assailants, threat ening to blow their brains out if they did not im mediately desist from assaulting him, for the vil lains' then attempted to drag • Palmer from the cart. On seeing the 'pistol in his hand, which unluckily would not go off, they thought it .ads visable to retire with all possible speed, without givingshim any .forther molestation. The iuten tior of them depredators sc,e ins evidently to have been fiist to murder Pah,oe'.., and then' to rob his vehiele.
