We have extracted the following articles : GOTTENBURG/1-1 y At m. have this dayre- ccived a confirmation of the - report of the City of Moscow having given the Emperor of RUSSIA 100,000 men to assist him in the deferice,of the country. MI the large cities in the empire are expected to follow so noble and patriOtic an example, by which means the'army will be increased to an al raost:in cre , lible degree. • • All the letters from the Russian head-gnartirs concur in representing the unanimity and enthu siasm.i.vilich pervades all -ranks in the Russian army; and, confidently speak of the eventual result of the great contest. The English packets have this day been allowed to come up to the town. .AcCounts from the Prussian frontiers continue to announce the arrival of fresh French troops in that kingdom. Upwards of x'ooo of different de scription's have lately passed through Burg and thence proceeded to Berlin. Previous to the sailing of the Lark packet from Gottenburgh, Lord. ,cATHCART bad arrived in Wingo Sound. The most important intelligence, however, brought by this packet is, that Mr. THORNTON, the British Minister at Stockholm, had embarked in a frigate for Copenhagen. It is well known that considerable military prep - rations are making in Denmark, and we think it by no means unlikely, that his Danish MAJESTY may see the necessity of joining his forces to those of Sweden, for the purpose of re establishing the independence of the North. • • We are happy to have it in our. power to. lay before our Readers this day several official ac counts from Rdssia, which confirm our, previous statements. The_ defeat- of SEBASTIANI is ac knowledged by BUONAPARTt ; he does not indeed admit the 'defeat. of DAvousr by Prince BAGRA TION, , but be states a fact which. shews that DAvousT must have peen defeated, for the French corps having been interposed between Prince BAGRATION and the main Russian Army, that corps must have been beaten before BAGRATION could have effected the junction which Buo::A- P:ARTE conf'esses has taken place. The defeat of General RosiciEcKt by PLATOW and his Cossacks,: is also stated by the Russians, andadrnitted bylkuo 7 NApARTE. So far, therefore both parties agree as to the essential facts : wita relpect to the details, some deductions, of course, must he-matle from the , statements on both sides, when speaking - of their successes. BUONAPARTE, it is said, has issued a Proclamation, announcing _ his intention, of pro ceeding to Moscow. It is impossible that he cat) seriously entertain such an idea, unless he could absolutely annihilate the Russian Army. _ On the contrary, we are convinced,. that "..if he does not speedily bring the Russians to a general action, and gain a decisive victory, that he' will retreat. The EMPEROR of RUSSIA has ordered a fresh bevy of 300,000 men, to form an army of re serve. The Hermes sloop of war arrived at Plymouth on the 12th, from Lisbon. She had an . uncommonly long passage of three weeks, having sailed from Lisbon on the 22d ult. the very day the battle was fought ; of course she brings no news, The wind, however, having changed, there can be little doubt that the official eicpatches will arrive in the course of a few hours. • The Committee for the management of the new „Drury-lane Theatre have, it seems, issued an ad vertisement, inviting the followers of the Muses to compose an'Address for the opening of that • Theatre, by way of Prize Poem. What reward' they propose we have not heard; but it is not pro bable that. the Committee will be inundated with the overflowing of Helicon. The versatility of The. Morning Chronicle has . often excited our notice.; and its conduct in this respect, has .been strikingly ohservable upon many occasions, which 4, we doubt not, have also attract ed the notice of the public in general. After. its bitter attacks on Government, upon the subject of the Orders in Council ; after its frequent lament ationi of the deplorable condition to. which it dc , dared those orders had reduced our inanufactu rers, threatening, they say, the most awful conse quences-to the State ; after the most violent cen sures on the obstinaCy of Ministers in not repeal-' ing those orders, we -might hope, for the sake of consistency, that if The. Chmziele did not think proper to 'praise those Ministers for revoking the orders, it would µt leash have observed a sullen silence upon the subject. But The Chronicle con tained a covert attack upon Government yester-,• day, in which, among other hackneyed topics upon which it has poured its abuse on Ministers, it at tacks them upon the very subject Of the revocation, arid affects to say, that in effect, by adopting it, theyhave given " the lie" to all their declarations as to the vital importance of the orders which they hive at len,;th repealkl. But'when did Minister's ever recant the opinions whieh,..oey have main tained as to the substantial, policy of r tc Girders in Council; though they deemed it necessary to comply with.the expectation which had been art fully excited by some, and warmly indulged by others, of the important advantages which. would result from a repeal of them, by :giving en4ploy ment to our manufacturers, reviving our comtner cial prosperity, and securing peace with America ? Such were the motives which induced Ministers to concede what they never abanclon,ed in principle and considering the clamour which had been ex cited,, and the hopes which a vast number of the people entertained of the benefits which 'would certainly attend, the repeal, Ministers arc not to be blamed for submitting to an , experiment that tended, at all events, to restore tranquility at home,. whatever may the ultimate effect upon the nav tic:4ml interests. Liz CouRT,--Yesterday, about half past two o'clock, the PRINCE REGENT arrived at Carlton House from Windsor. Soon,after three o'clock the following Noblemen and Gentlemen were in troduced to his Koval HighnesS, and had the honour to kiss hands, upon their respective ap pointmeuts Lord George Beresford, on being appointed Comptroller of the Household. . • Mr. Robert Neel, on being appointed Secretary of State to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Lord Jocelyn, on being appointed Vice-Chamberlain. Nr. William Fitzgerald, on being appointed Chancellor of the Ezcheiluer for Ireland. . _ Lord Charles Bentiock (vie understand), on being appoint ed Treasurer of the Household. The PRINCE REGENT held a Privy Council; which was attended by the Lord, President, the Lord Chancellor, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the three Secretaries of State, the President of the Board bf Controul, &c. We understand that Lord G. BERESFORD, the Hon. F. ROBINSON, Mr. R. PEEL, MT. W. FITZGERALD, and Lord C. BENTINCK, were sworn in Members of the-Board. The ,RECORDER made his Report to the PRINCE REGENT, of the following convicts under sentence of death in Newgate, viz. Ann Rogers and Jane Jones, for burglary ; Antonio Rose, for a like offence • Thomas Bowler, for maliciously shoot ing at William Burroughs ; John Bowman,, for stealing gOods in a dwelling-house ; Elizabeth Corclaran, alias Cochrane, for stealing goods pri vately in,a shop ; Joseph Sanders, for a highway robbery ; Diana Lovell, for stealing in adWelling bouse ; Thomas Ransom, 'for secreting and steal ing a letter, containing Bank-notes ; and Susan nah Lallament, for stealing in a dwelling-house ; when Thomas Bowler was ordered for execution on Friday next, the 21st instant ; the others were respited during his Royal Highness's pleasure: The PRINCE gave audience to the Earl a HAR'' ROWEY, Viscount CASTLF-REAGII, all(' Mr. WEL-. LESLEY 'POLE. The latter resigned the official situations which he held. in Ireland. The Court did not breakup till past six o'clock., • On. Thursday last, about three o'clock in the afternoon, - as Counsellor Pennefatiler Was pro- ceeding on his way fro ii Limerick is a gig', he as stopped within about two miles of Fermoy, by two armed fdotpads, who dernanded an instant de livery of his , money. Fortunately for the gentle= man, he at the moment happened to have a se . - • cond pocket-book in his possession - that contained but a trifling, share of cash and some loose pape4, and by affecting reluctance, which his presence. of mind at the time suggested, he succeeded in clis appointing.the robbers of a considerable sum Of money which he had in his . pa:act-shin.. Being somewhat diss:itisfied at this small share of booty, - they in a little time after met Mr. Painefather's servant, by which event they calculated upon ing themselves in better luck, but seeing their hopes eventually blighted; they forthwith decamp-. ed, not without taking six or eight ten-penny to kens, being thu entire Sum of specie in the man's possession. The Prince of Conde served in the Spanish ar my at the battle of Dunes, when the, ,Spaniards were beaten by the French, commanded by Tu reline ; but he had no command, and his advice with respect to the disposition of the troops had been rejected. A few minutes before the engage ment commenced, be aAked the young Duke 'of Gloucester if he had ever seen a battle lost ?, to which the other having replied in the negative, " Very well," said the hince, " you will not be long so." • NAVAL • NEWS% PLYMOUTH; AUG. 12,-- 7 -Arrived thqjlermets sloop of war_ from Liston, after a pas::age of weeks, and, we understand, has bri.jught no 1 - 1 .

MAHON, JULY 10:=The following intelesting and affeCting little story; which I have just beard from the lips of one of the Officers' of the Swallow,. will, I am sure,. be of interest ‘to many of your readerS the gallant .and sangu.nary action which that ship maintained agaiest so superior a force, close in with Frejas, a short time since, there was a seaman named" Phelan, who had his wife op board ; she Was -staeioned, (as is tcStlal when women are on board in time of battle) to assist the surgeon in care of the wounded. Prom the close manner in which the Swallow', engaged the enemy, yardarm and yard arm, the wounded, • as may be expected,. were -brought below' very fast, amouggt the'rest a messmate Of her husband's (consequently - her, own) who received a musket ball through the side. Her exertions were used to console the poor . fellOw; who was in great agonies and nearly breathing his last ; when, by some chance, she heard her husband was Woutid ed, on deck. Her "ianxiety and already over powered-feelings could not one moment be re strained ; she - rushed instantly on deck, and re ceived the•wounded - tar in. her arms ; he faintly , raised his head to kiss c burst into a flood `of tears', and told him to take courage, ".all 'Would yet 'be well ;" but scarcely had pronounced the last syllable, when an ill-directed shot took 'her head off. The poor -tar, who was closely wrapped in her arms, opened his eyes once mote —then shut them for ever ! Wlu renders the circumstance the more affeCting was, the poor creature had been only three weeks delivered of . a fine boy, who was thus in a moinentdeprived of "a father, and a 'mother. As Soon as the action sub sided, " and nature began again to take its Course," the feelings of the tars, who wanted no unnecessary incitement to stimulate them, were all interested for poor Tommy (for so he was called), • many said, and all feared, he oust die ; they all agreed he should have a hundred fathers ; but what, could be the substitute of, a nurse and mother ? However, the active mind of humanity scion discovered there was a Maltese goat in board, belonging to the Officers, which gave an abundance of milk, and as-there was no better ex pedient, she was eesoited to; for the pusrpose of suckling the unfortunate child, who, singular to say, is thriving and getting one-of the finest little fellows in the world, and so tractable is his nurse, that even now she lays doWn When poor little Tommy is brought to be suckled by her.—Phelan and his wife were sewed up in one hamniock, and, it is . needless to say, buried in one grave. Thus Waal a poor orphan, three ,weeks old, on board a man of war, -out of sight of land, res cued from death through the humane exertions of TIIE T s uATltn.-;•-•The Comedy of The Honey Mdon ivas . last night represented „at the Hay market Theatre. The part of the Duke was per foi'med by Mr. TALBOT, and, in our opipion, it is. better .suited to his 'powers - than ti .anger and Young Mirobel, in which we have before noticed his acting. Mr. TALBOT' evidently conceived the Bart in its true light, awl it he bad beett the first repre.tentative Of, it, would probably ba , ; - e esta blished the general idei of it.. We donot,ilow ever,. consider his performance as free from errors: His action was too artificial and flourishing; , and when he had pbetical figures to describe, he lek pressed theM with a kind of lofty Velithrience more suited to the effusions of passions. At times, too, there was sornethipg of a quaint familiarity in his'. manner ; bat the whole of his performance manifested the workings of an intelligent and reflecting mind,' which seems ra ther to have. directed its attention towards the essential features.of ucharacter, than to the graces of, deportment.. Mrs. GIBZS was a very appropriate and interesting portrait of Jediand. This comedy is written in so vigorous a style . , and abounds in so many passages marked by knowiedge of life, shrewd satire, genuine humour, and poetical energy, that we always regret the over-sight of the author in not suffering the audience to remain ignorant :of the real condition of the Duke; till the conclusion,• as'the interest , would have been stronger through the play, and the surprize more gratifying in the catastrophe.
