Last night sonic of the smaller French tapers, • to the 16th inst. were received. They , give no further accounts trom Russia ; but it is .stated that 500 portable corn-mills have been sent off from Paris to the Grand Army, and also that an im mense quantity of warm clothidg has, been sent off with the utmost expedition.' It' seems, then,. that the immense quantity of furs wkichßuotia rAßTE•found in Moicow have, somehow or other suddenly disappeared. BUt as BUONAPARTE made so great a'mistake respecting the portion of Mos cow that Was saved, it is not impossible that be might make an erroneous calculation with rest ect to the gnantityof furs that were found. We think it very likely than PLATOW and the Cossacks may prevent the mills and the warm clothing from reaching the grand army. The following Notice was this day put up at Llu v ;?'s : -- The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having represented to the Committee for manag ing the affairs of LLOYD'S, that: Masters of Mer-. chant resscls arc extremely inattentive to the sig nals Made at the signal stations' to apprise them of enemy's cruizers being on the coast, the C'nuinittee request, agreeable to the suggestion of their Lordships, that Owners of ships will givß directions to their Masters to pay the strictest attention to all signals, made from the signal stations J and further desire, that running ships, Or ships separating from convoy homeward-bound, Will rendezvouS at Falmouth or Spithead, for con-. voy up Channel, and on no consideration pass Parts mouth without protection,as recommended by their Lordships to the Chairmen of the diffureut Trades, in November 1810.. Should it be impracticable ' for vessels to reach Falmouth or Spithead, on ac count of easterly winds, the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty recommend, that they put into any of the intermediate ports, or even into Scilly, and there wait fur convoy.

This was our. of the cases which have grown out of the Irish Convention Act, and the Proc1:1- illation of the Duke of Richinond. Mr. Tia: is one of those Gentlemen who -kad been arrested under the warrant of Mr. Chief JIIS . I.CC Downes, 'and who consequently brought actions of assault and false imprisonment against Mr. Downes. Mr. Downes had put in his pled to Mr. Taaffe's declaration, and therehy contended that he was entitled, as Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, to issue his Warrant, and to commit Mr. Taaffe. To this plea Mr. Taaffe's _Counsel de, inurred. The Demurrer has been four times at - pled in Court, and stood this day for judgment. Lord NORBORY stated, that with respect to the judgment of the Court to be given in this case, there prevailed a difference - of opinion among the -Judges) and, in order to procure, if possible, unanimity on a subject of such magnitude, it was deemed expedient to hear another Counsel on each side.

The helm was immediately put down, and she came round, and stood towards the land ; the privateer followed for some time, and fired her smail arms, which did no material damage ; and the Fanner fortu nately escaped.

" This town is in an uproar to-day.—All the Killarney Constable arc in pursuit of, Maurice O'Connor, ILsq, to apprehend him for firing a pistol at John O'Connell, Esq. at the gate of Gre nagh (Mr. O'Connell's place). The .cause I un- - derstand to be, as follows O'Connor vent to Grenagh, in company with several other Gentlemen, when it was understood a terrnination of the intended duel was to have taken place between Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Bateman.—Mr, O'Conntil, I have heard, intended to make an apology to Mr. Bateman for words he had made use of to him. What the nature of this apology was I cannot tell, but he refused to make it in tht presence of Mr. O'Connor ; upon which it is sail„ that Mr. O'Connor asked him what ob;ection had to his being present, and it is said called Mr. O'Connell by- some opprobrious name, which so irritated -Mr: . O'Connell as to cause .hini to strike at Mr. O'Connor with a stick or which, on wlic4 the latter immediately fired a pistol . at Mr. O'Con nell, the ball of which -grazed his €Mr. O'Con nell's) arm,' i;it did HO 'farther injury.
