" The Genetial of Division Zavoncheick, who commanded a Polish division at the battle of Smo lensk, was wounded. The behaviour of the Po lish corps at Smolensk "astonished the Russians, 'olio used to despise them. They were struck with their steaclines4 and the superiority which they displayed oVer themselves. "M the battles Of Smolensk and Valentian, the enemy lost twenty Generalskilled, wounded, or taken, and a very great rnimber of Officers. The number of men .killed, taken, or wounded on these occasions may, amount to fiom 25 to 30,000 men. " On the day after the battle of Valentina his Majesty gave the 12th and 2lst regiments . of in fantry of the line, and the 7th regiment of light infantry a number of decorations of the Legion. of IronourAo be bestowed on the Capt:tins, Lieu tenants, Subalterns, and Soldiers. The selections were made on the field, in a circle before the On peror, and were confirmed with acclamations by the troops. The following are the names of those Who obtained this honourable distinction : [Here follows a list of the respective indivi= duals.] Number of decorations granted :—To the 12th regiment 30, the `'lst 25, and 7th light 32, total F 7. " The enemy's army, in retiring, burn the brid --ges and destroy the roads, in order to retard the march of the French army as much as possible. thl the 21st they bad re-passed the Borysthenes at Slob-Pniwa, always closely followed by our advanced guard. The commercial establishments •at ,Smolensk were quite untoucl4ed on the Borystbenes; in a fine §uhurb, to Nviiir,l the Russian§ set fire, for the 6 ° l e purpose of retarding our,tuarch a single hour. Never Was war conducted with so much intinma T4 ty. The Russians treat their own country as they Would.that of an enemy.

" Prince Schwartzenberg writes front Ossiati, Oil the 17th, that his advanced guard has parsued thf‘ erterny on the road to Divin, that he has taken wsorne hundreds of prisOners, and obliged the enemy to boat- his baggage. General * Bianchi, how 'ver, 'who commands - the advanced - gnard, has s u cceeded in seizing SOO bagglige-waggons which the enemy could neither carry off nor destroy.— The Russian army, under Tm oaSsow, has lost al , ;' ) •ast all its baggage. The equipage for the siege of Riga has begun to move from ,Tilsit for the Dwina.

" T'l enemy gave out - tliat he would make a stand at DoroghObouj. • He had, according to cus tom, thrown up earth and constructed bat ter' , 'es. The army having -shewn itself in order of natfi e, the Emperor repaired thither; - but the enc i , s General.thought better of it—beat a re tr c at - ---and abandoned Doroghobouj, a, city eon ta ' fl ing ten, thousand SoulS, and eight steeples. l e , I - 4 -quart ers were 'there on the 26th,. and on the tQth at Slawkovo.

At the smile time, we combat in behalf of a brave nstion, allied with us froth time immemorial—the Pops'; .a,,people'distiuguished •by their patriotism-, and fOrmidable for their valour. Their stake in the contest is their honour and. their, existence as a nation ; our's is the preservation of advantages, which renders us so happy, that there is nothing which we have to envy any where else; either in point of comfort, liberty, intelligence, the admi nistration of justice, industry, security of prpperty, and every thing that can contribute to the national prosperity. AfUNICII, SEPT. Bavarian Officer has written the following reply "to the Proclamation of Gen. 'folly . , Your-appeal to the ,Germans: has excited the Surprised -and indignatiOn of the - Bavarian armY: flow could the War NI inister of - a great- nation put his name to a libel so infamous ? Europe thought that the time was past when Unbridled demagogues publicly invited the subjects of other States to-re volt against legitimate authority :` Does it become you, Sir; to recal the remembrance of theSe revo lutionists,•or to vie with them iii offensive 'lan guage? In truth, . you, or your superiors, -are very ill-informed of the lane situation of Europe. My -countrymen are as indignant at your appeal as I am. All. Bavarians will reply to you,—We are neither slaves nor the unfortunate instruments of foreign ambition :---;we have - - been fOr.ages the sub jects of one of the ancient houses of• Princes, who govern us with mildness and wisdom. The Go vernment, enlightened as to its . true interests, freely associates in the grand league against R ussia; it is a fruit of its previous accession to.the Confe dpration yf the Rhine, which you tfireatened by assemblages of troops, and of your opposition to the Continental system, IVhich can alone save Europe from commercial slavery to England:' &c. &c. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—ThiS beautiful struc ture was last night lighted up for the .purpose of. Judging of the disposition:of the lamps, \and the effect of, the deCOrations, scenery, &c. &c. The -t fee tiers of boXes, : varied in slope to form a pleasing relief, are lined _with scarlet, and Sky blue cielings, end their fronts variously painted and gilded, so as to produce the most brilliant ef fect. he Parxch Rho-v:4's hox is the farthest on the right .band of the audiene, and that of the Duke of BEDFORD is hinnediately opposite. A narrow - next to the Prince, is set apart for Mrs. GARRICK, as her right for•life„and a similar one on, the 9 - ther side, as being the property of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE.. The Stage -is supported :by two Scaglioli Corinthian pillars, whose Capitals are richly gilded, and with a golden tripod lamp standing on each' side, where Stage-doors appear on other-Theatres, which are here altogether dis pensed with. When the spectators had been gratified with this part of the spectacle, the cur tain drew up, and gave them, a charming display of scenery,, which they applaudedin - succession, • as a just tribute to the animated pencil of the ar Ci tist (Mr. REENWOOD); who produced- them. _There Were seven or eight, 'exhibited, of which, 'a perspective Landscape with ,Water, a Piazza, a Sea-port, al Prison Scene, and:the Market Cross of Glastonbury, were the most striking. 'Pie Draw ing-rOom scenes were also. Much 'admired ; but perhaps an objection 'may. lie against their being all fitted up with thesaine rouge-eoloured hang ings, The shifting of' the wings of all the see nery is upon a new prineiple, after the manner of the iron, railways, by which they are uniformly worked, and with great facility. The who'fe ex hibition afforded the greatest satisfaction to.all Who partook of it. • _ The 'whole of Drury-lane Theatre, it is said, is to be faced with stucco, .as soon as pecuniary sources will admit: The beauty of the edifice Will be much increased .by this addition, for-ele gant as the exterioris,it certainly haS a pi e -ball e d aspect at present, appearing partly brick and part ly. stone. - , • BANNISTER is to follow ELLISTON at Chelten harn,. and they are bnth. engaged, for the new theatre, Drury-lane. The former is to, speak the intended Address, if one . should be found among the various contributions worthy of Theoccasion. It has been liberally proposed that the profits of the first night, at the new Drury-lane Theatre, should \ be devoted to the' widows and, orphans of the gallant men:who fell in the glorious battle of Salamanca. This would. indeed" be a noble com mencement of the season, and.on such an occa sion,,public curiosity would be animated by pa triotic pride aad gratitude. Stich- 'an ap'propria lion of the profits is the more proper, as we leaTn with regret, that the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd's, an Institution in the highest degree honourable to the country, has not been so :%varnaly support ed. upon this-occasiOn.as 'upon . others, not more glorious in their nature, or important in their con sequeuees,-_ _ It is.said that seventy-nine Addresses for the opening of Drury-lane Theatre, have been sent to the' Committee, of Managers. Considering that the present may be' deemed the Agc of Scribbling, _is is surprizin that the number was not much greater. :1 ( 0, - .9nciay afternoon, as .tWoi young Gentlemen, about- twelve years old, one-of them, the son of General Dcsbrisay, .of the "{bpi Artillery, the other of William Webber, Esq. of Exmouth, were bathing in the sea at that ,place, they were car ried out a .considerable distance by the tide, and both disappeared. Assistance was soon procured, and the bodies taken up the son of Mr. Webber was fortunately restored, but the son of General 'D. we are sorry to' add, was past recovery, every means -of resuscitation .having been used in vain. It is supposed his strength mast have been 'ex hausted, and his life gone before be sunk, as he , WUs not passing ten, min u tes un d e r water before a Waterman; named Samuel klrieltnell, leaped from a -boat,„ancl in less,than a thinute.brought him up frOm a depth of 20 . feet water: The rave and hamane conduct of -this intrepid man deserves every praise, and justly entitles him to a liberal reivard. - • POETRY; kanrM parks Anglois Eli: sera janaais pHs, DiS,,;ie.otbiercertains esprits, - La chose nullemeut ne nous par6ii posible. • , Jour Juni, rcprit ciu.El.4tfun, j'cn serv;s peu surpris, Car je crois ferinernent que PAnglois invincible 02414 liar Wir.u.t.iNnToN petit fr,ire J.

It was alsc . a 1-Taff-yearly Court, under a bye-law of the Comnany. Ttlr. Manning (the Goyernot) stated, as the opinion of the Court of Diretors, Ist. That Si. per cent. interests ardd rrofits, should be paid foi the half year, ending, on the 10th of October next.-2d. That it should be paid to-the Proprietors, in the same manner as the last half year, without deducting. -the property tax of 10 per cent. .froM the dividend warrants. - -- 1 -And 3d. That the dividend warrants shall be delivered and paid on tile 11th of October next. -These three propositions were unanimously acceded to by the Proprietors, and the Court immediately ad journed. A critic in a Morning Paper, has animadverted somewhat sharply upon JOHNSON, for,having ' introduced paSsages from contemprrary ,authors,' and even from himself,- in exptanation of words. It Would have been hard indeed to deny the great _Lexicographer the gratification of introducing the name of 'a friend in a wotk, that would be likely to live as long as our language,- and as to the reference to his own - works, it,would be more candid to attribute thA to die partiality of those who haVe published editiOns of his Dictionary since his death. The value of an article which has proved its ef ficacy, particularly in Medicine,. is brought more home to the general .Conviction by its own intrin sic and long-tried merits, than by those petty arts which are often employed to attract the pub lic notice. This is precisely the case with Cheva lier ItusPiNt's . BALSAMIC STYPTIC, the effect of whiCh in stopping all bleeding, both internal and external„ is admitted 'by the .first 'Physicians. It occasions no irritation or infianimation ; it'heals Tvithout any other dressing .an useful present to a relative or to a friend going o 0 service.

Simmester alias Davis, stood capitally indict ed for bre.aking and entering the' dwelling-house of James %Vest, at Twicketibtun, on.the 12th or August hiq, in the day time, no person being i;erein, /and stealing-weaning apparel above the ,:due of ss. it appeared from the testimony .of the wife of !he prosecutor, that on the morning stated in the indictment, she left her house, having previously fastened it in such a manner as to,prevev the in greszy of aay person who did nor, possess 'tLe key. On her return, at three 131 the afterllooo, she found that the window had keen forced am! on -examin ing her trunk,. she _perceived that it had been broken onen, and_ several articles of wdaring ap parel hefongifig to her husband taken away.--- These clonei she traced to the _pose:iSion of a woman named. Daniel, at Isleworth,. who proved that s . l)e had purchased theta.fFoin the prisoner, the same day On which the robbery was com .. mited. - . -The Jury acquitted the prisoner 'of the ,burglary, upon the pl'esumption .that some ither person. might have broken the pane of gllss which gave facility to his entrance, and which enabled him to remove the peg that confined the window. They however, found him guilty of the stealing. Joseph Wayland, a little urchin not more than 14 years of age, was indicted for Stealing five shil lings 'worth of halfpence, privately, in the shop o J. Broughton. The prisoner went into_ the shop in qiiestion, under pretence of pin . rhasing article, and while there, found thears to steal a marked . papei, contiining the halfpence. Stated in the indictment. 6usplcion having at tached to him, he was.pursued, iAen, and search ed, and on his person were found the paper and halfpence. These circumstances having been in controvertibly proved, and the -prisoner having nothing\_to urge in hisdefence, Mr. Justice Gibbs proceeded' to sum . up the evidence ; in . doing . .which, he observed, that notwithstanding the. tender age,of the prisoner, it was ; of the, last im pOrtance,—that the lawn should be executed, and that no COnsideration of:humanity should induce either hini or the Jury t i o draw Conclusions incon sistent with , the facts pr9ved, or the 'law applicable to. those facts. 'Were he to act in opposition to .these sentiments, be..should, in conscience, cOn sider himself guilty Of.no 'less s crime than•per jury. To s,ulfer a feeling of lenity to be extend ed towards the prisoner on account of age s would be an injustice to all other - offenders with similar pretensions ; as it would only lead them to ima gine,,that however heinous might be their mis deeds, their youth would be a guarantee for their safety. If' the prisoner was capable of judging between right and wrong, be became fully an swerable to the laws of his country: In the pre sent case, the. fact of halfpence to the amount of five shillings, having beensolen pr. , ;ately in the shop of 'the prosecutor' by the prisoner, Was prov ed • beyond the possibility of doubt ; the only ground, therefore, upon which the capital offence imputed to him became doubtful, vas tire pos sibility of some of the halfpence being counter feits. - - . The Jury having examined g the money, found some of it to be bad and conSequently acquitted the - prisoner of the capital charge, and fottndhira guilty of stealing to the value of four shillings and tenpence. Willicon.Connor, another boy, ~not more than 15, teas next put to the bar, to take his trial' for privately stealing, in the shop of J. L. Simmons, in Holborn, on the Ist of August last, a Coat,, value 255. ,was stated -in evidence, that on the day in question,- the prisoner went to a pawn-, broker% in Stanhope -street, Clare-maiket, and Offeredla . coat to pledge. He said he liad been sent by his father ; but on the pawnbroker's ck amining the coat, he discovered a duplicate .under the cape, which at once. convinced him that it be longed to the prosecutor,' who was also a pawn broker. The prisoner was immediately taken into custody;., and on-inquiry-being made at Mr..Sitn tnons's shop,_ it, was ascertained , that the coat had been stolen that morning. By, time duplicate on the coat, it appeared that 16s. had been'leant on it. The Jury ,after a short consideration fotind the prisoner 'guilty, of stealing only to the valu6 l of 4s. 10d. ' The proseCutQr, on his' oath, stated 'that toe. value of the coat was 255. Sarah. Baker was, Capitally indicted for stealing a bank-note of the 'value :of :10/. ; three. bank notes'of the value' of. 3/. ; two gold hro,oches and. divers other articles, in the dwelling-house of Thomas Mason, in the,parish of Mary-le-bone, in the early part of last August. it appeared that the prsoner bad lived servant with the-prosecutor, and loving been guilty of same incivility, .she was. discharged. After sae !eft the house, the articles specified in the indict ment were missed. She was sought for, and w at length apprehended on the top of the Yar-' month coach, Aldgate. On being accused of the robbery,. she Pave up the brooch and a gold. ring, which she had stolen. Siee, was found guil ty-of stealing to the value of 395. , Jathes Minter was also capitally indicted for stealing a pair .of shoes., priirately, in the shop of ThomaS liedaway, in the Strant!, on the Bth. instant. -The fact of the theft was fully proved ; but the value of. the shoes being doub.tfnl, the prsoner was: found, k guilty oniy of stealing to the oz 4-s. 1911. , John Holland and Charles Thomas Stichener Werc stealing a pocket-book, from the perin of John Hepburn, on the night of the Oat ; of August. The' prosecutor is' a serjeant r,lnes, and on the night in question being much intoxicated, as he was as sing through thestreets, the prisoners assistA him to . The, next morning he missed his pocket-hook; the prisoners. were-_appi•ebended, and. Stieliener gave up the pocket-book, saying li . fliad found it. They were both aennitted: • Henry Lan,fitant, who stood indicted for eteal ing two IL Bank of - England notes, and a 3s. Bank token, was acqnitttd z-onsequence of therebein no direct ev i:!ctuN against him, save his own confession, which ‘vas extorted from Lim undei a promise of lenity. James Booth was iiied on an indictment, charging
