She bring seven.: letters; they contain no futther particulars respecting the vic tory over 3.IhRmoNT, but they speak of it as a kuovvn event. It is said that Dil• , •-',:ONT has lost an arm. Dispatches were, we understand, received this morning by Government, from Mr. Ti ; TORZITON, our ,'.l.linister at Stockholm, dated the 25th ult.— The contents, of course, have not yet transpired. We feel great pleasure in stating,, that in ho nour of the Pilicz REGENT'S Birth-day, a Naval Promotion will this day take place. Five Vice-Ad inirals, we understand, are to be full Admirals, ten Bear-Admirals to be Vice-AdmiralS., twenty Captains to be Rear-Admirals. In addition to "the above, we ,have also the satisfaction of stating, that twenty . of the senior Com manders, now serving afloat, are to be made Post Captains, and the ten senior Lieutenants actually serving as first of line-of-battle ships to be Com manders. We are informed that Captains the 113 n. C. E. FLE!;IING, C. V. PzhillosE, PLTLTENEY MALCOLM, and JAS. BtssET, are the new 6olonels of Marines. We yesterday stopped the Press to communi cate to our Readers the Eighth Bulletin of the French Army, and we are this day enabled to lay before thew the - Ninth. These Bulletins contain some important information. It appears that there have been some severe actions between the Rus sians and the French, and in two of them it is oD vious, from the Bulletin, that the latter were com pletely defeated. General SEBASTIANI,.it is acknow ledged', was surprised and beaten; his loss, it is true, is represented as being very slight, but as he was forced to fall back a considerable distance, and, as the Russians had 5,000 cavalry in the attack, we may fairly conclude that he lost more than 100 men. The displeasure with which Buo -NAPARTF speaks of this affair is a proof that SEBAS.. TIANI suffered a serf ins defeat. In another affair . on the 10th ult. BUONAPARTE confesses that he lost 600 light cavalry : here again we may add very considerably to the loss acknoWledged by•the French. In a-letter from the Russian-Army, dated the 14th, brought by the Gottenburgh Mail which • arrived this morning, it is stated, that the Cos sacks under PLATOW bad destroyed three regi ments of cavalry, and taken two Colonels and se veral Officers prisoners . This we have no doubt mill - the affair of the 10th, so slightly mentioned in the - Bulletin. But the two most importantfacts detail - ed.in these Bulletins . are the failure. of the efforts - Which BUONAPARTE niade to cut off' Prince BAGRA TI ON from the main army, and the retreat of the Rus sians from their entrenched camp at Drissa. With respect to ;the former event, BUONAPARTE'S disap pointment upon the occasion may be collected from the manner in which be speaks of Ge neral DAvousr, certidnly one of the best Generals in the French service. The retreat of the Russians from their entrenched camp at Drissa became necessary, in consequence of the movements of the French Army. By pushing on; in the direction of Polotsk, BUONAPARTE'S object was to cut off Prince BAGRATION, and to turn the left of the camp at Drissa; in these objects, however, he confesses, that he has failed ; and he acknowledges that the Russian ..t h rzywhiCh, he said, in it former Bulletin, was wandering about in corps without object or . di recilon) is concentrated - 'without : loss of a single regiment. —We beg pardon, we had forgot the unparalleled achievement- of Capt. VAUDOIs, who-with, 50 men, at 15 leagues distance from' the arrn y , took 300 men prisoners, and 800 fine artil lery .horses, -and brought them all in ! So that during the 45, miles which Capt. VAtmois had' to March to rejoin the. main army, each : individual of his corps had ten • Men and - sixteen horses to take care of, and this too in a hostile country!! With the exception of this extraordinary exploit, BUONAPARTE does not say that the Russians sus tained any lass in troops, and he acknowledges that their Army is concentrated. He says, in deed, that when they: evacuated the ,entrenched camp A Drissa, they destroyed their magazines. This is not likely, because they ,were not at all pressed ; they retired at their leisure.; they evacuated the camp on the 16th, ,and the French cavalry did not cross the River till the 20th. The direction in which BUONAPARTE is TIOW moving is that of Moscow, but we cannot believe that he wilt attempt to march much further: .The idea of marching to Petersburgh he ,has given up; and •to think of going to Moscow would be ab surd in the extreme. The Morning Chrhnielc, in speculating upon this point, supposes that he will Content himself with Poland, and the ret - urn o f • the Emperor, ALEXANDER to what is called the Continental system. We have tio doubt that he would : the most decisive victory could give him no more ; biit it is idle 4o suppose that he can keep possession of Lithuania, while the Russian forces : are unbroken. We cannot 'conceive wb at has given this sudden alarm to the Chronicle : a few' weeks ago that Paper eipressed its conviction that the Russians had nothing to fear, if .their Generals ivould only adop,t a retreating system, and avoid general ',actions. The Russians have adopted . that plan—they 'have avoided general actions—they have frustrated all the efforts of the enemy to cut off any part of their army,—they baN'e defeated him in several partial but severe en d . • gagements,---m a word, theyhave adopted the very plan which the Chronicle said must be attended with' ultimate success, and that Paper now begins to predict the ruin of the Russian cause. It is our , wish always to avoid indulging in sanguine , specu , lations ; but we really do not see any thing in . there Bulletins that is calculated to excite the least uneasinesS. The Anniversary of his Royal Highness .the - PRINCE REGENT'S Birth will be celebrated this day, with zeal and. splendour. An order was sent from the Ordnance Office last night for the Park and Tower 'guns to be fired, as is customary on - the KIX'o and Quteil's, natal days. Yesterday Sirß. STRACHAN and Admiral BERTIE transacted busineis with Lord MELVILLE, at his Office at the Admiralty. This evening Her MAJESTY will give a grand Fete at Ftogmore, in honour of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT'S Birth-day.— Eighty are expected to dinner, and two hundred to supper'. Bow-sTateT.—Monday a young man genteelly dressed went into holy land's Coffee-house in the Strand, and stated himself to - be an officer belong ing to the 21st Regiment of Foot ; that he was just arrived, at the Saracen's Head Inn from the country, and that he intended to, stop a short time at Holy land's Coffee-house. He said he wanted some change to pay for his luggage, &c. and pre sented a note for 151. dated from the Adelphi, Aug. 10, drawn by Alexander Lawrie, promising to pay to-morrow account of your pay due on the 24th inst. ; the balance to be paid when ascer tained—directed to Daniel McKenzie, Captain of the 21st Regiment of Fo6t. It was endorsed by Daniel M'Kenzie. Mr. Williams, the landlord, gave him 61. in part, and - said he would pay the remainder when the gentleman returned to dinner, which he had ordered at 5 'o'clock. When he had left the house it occurred to Mr. Williams that the' note was worded in a very uncommon manner, and he went to Mr. LaWrie, 'the army agent, in Robert-street, Adelp' hi, where he seas informed it was a forgery. In .consequence of this informa tion Mr. Williams applied to Adkins,' who_ attend— ed at the coffee-house till ,the young man • came into dinner, when on certain questions being put to him it was strongly suspected he Was an . impos tor, and that he knew the note to be a forgery ; • and AdkinS took him into custody. IA the •even ing he underwent a short examination before Mr. Birnie, who ordered him to be detained till pro per evidence was procured. Yesterday morning he was brdught . to, the Office again, and underwent an examination before / Mr. Nares, when Mr. Lawrie attended, and proved his signature to the note to be a'forgery. The prisoner has been an officer in the 21st Re , giment of Foot, and by that means . Mr. Lawrie's name was easily imitated, he being Agent to that Regiment. The prisoner has been living 'at the Saracen's Head Inn under the assurrA name of Hamlinton. He has also been living at Slaughter's Coffee-house for some tiMe. Be was committed for further examinatiot. On Monday morning last, his Majesty's free pardon was received ,from the Secretary of State,- Lord Sidmouth, by Mr. Staveley, of York Cas tle, for Elizabeth Woodger, and Sus::-.Anah Ly hall, who were, at the York Assizes, convict ed of murdering (from motives of humanity) a new-born infant, under a conviction - that the baby was in pain, owing to a deficiency in the formation of its skull, which left the brain uncovered; and therefore could only have a' short and painful ex istence, if left to the agonizing operation of na ture. They were immediately discharged out of custody. GaTTENBURGYI MAIL. ST: PETERSBURG, JULY 14.—Our newspaper. contains the following statements regarding the • operations of the war. Head-quarters at ikasua, July 7. The army has this day marched into the follow lig places : Count WITTGENSTEIN'S corps into Breslaw ; the 2d and 3d corps into Dedin ; the 4th into Nawloka ; the sth into Miloscka ; and the' 6th into Novagrod. Since the 3d July, the motions of the enemy have been of more consequence, which has given rise to several skirmishes. . Major-GenerAlcoEF, who commhnds the rear-guard of the joint 2d and 3d corps, has repulsed all the attacks made on. their road to Disna. By wise precautions, he was so fortunate, at this place,- as to stop the enemy's progress, notwithstanding their superiority in ca valry. The horse artillery, under the command of Major-General Count KUTOSOW, forded him to retire with loss. The Lieutenant-Colonel in , the Wurtemburgh service, Prince of HoHEN LOIIER KIRCIIBEEG, and 30 meu, were made pri- soners. The Commander in Chief praises the conduct of the Major-Generals, KoEF and Count KUTII SOW; as likewise the bravery by which the Body Cossacks and the Polish Regiment of tirlilans dis tinguished 'themselves. The Lientenant-General Count SCUUWALOW has, on account of all eavy illness whicli has befallen him, been obliged to lay down the command of his Corps, -which his Imperial Majesty the Em peror has been pleased to give to Lieutenant-Ge neral Count ASTERMAN TALLSTOR, who was pre - vious,ly in his Majesty's suite. Head-quarters at Janeitscky, 9th July. All the corps belonging to the first army havp joined, and will to-morrow march into an 'en= • trenched camp iin.the borders of the Dwina, near to Drissa. Om' troops have sustained the difficulties of the march with their accustomed hardi hood; all the endeavours of the enemy, to cut off _ ,some of the separate corps of the flit army, and to turn our right . ,flank, have been fruitless : at present his chief force is directed. against our left wing, in order to take a station between the first and second armies. Prince BAGRATION has received orders to attack these corps of the enemy, which are in his front, and the necessary dispositions for this purpOSe are already made in the first artpy. Since the small actions which took place at the passage of the Duna, our rear-guard has not sus tained any attack of consequence from the enemy. EXTRACT OF 'A BULLETIN FROM THI GRAND ARMY, DATED THE 14TH JULY General PLATOFF has totally destroyed three regiments, of Polish Ulltans. ' Two Colonels and several Officers were made prisoners ; and General Duw,vitv. wh6 commanded those troops, saved himself with great difficulty: On the 14th July, the bead-quarters were still at Drissa, and it was expected that a great battle would be fought in the course of a few days. LINIBERG, Jt:NE 20.—A few Russian troops are still remaining in Volhynia and Padolia. Their chief force appear to be concentrating themselves between Grodno.and Wilna. Letters from Jassy mention, that several Russian regiments, which were on their way back, have received orders to return immediately to the Danube. GOTTENBURGII, AUG. I.—The accounts 're ceived, stating that the French had met with a se vere check at Dunahtirg, are confirmed by intelli gence from Carlsham, stating, that a French corps, under the command of General OVDINoT, made the most desperate attack on the Rus sian tete du poet on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of July, and were each time repulsed with. great slaughter; leaving upon the whole 15,000 men dead on the spot. The Baltic convoy, for England, sailed the 7th tiine on Wednaday last. A Gentleman, just arrived , from France, states, that it is generally supposed at Paris that his Ho liness;has at length been induced to yield to the persuasions and seventies which have so long been . made use of to render him more tractable to lino naparte, and:thatthe first act by Which,le would be called upon to manifest this disposition would be by giving his benediction to the , neiv"kingdom of Poland. The Catholic Religion being the na tional religion of Poland, it is suppoSed that the re-establishment of the nation will be highly:gra tifying to his Holiness, and that he will readily , second Buona.parte, by giving his sanction to the measure. It is. said at Paris, that ;the Pope will . henceforth reside in that city, as being the grand capital of Catholic Europe. The Crown Prince had, some time*since; drawn to the amount of 50,0001. sterling On P;tris, and the bills, under the direction of Buonaparte, had been dishonoured. To indemnify Bernadotte for this disappointment, it had been ordered by the Court of Stockholm, that.none : of the dividends due to Holland from Sweden should he paid, and that out of the sum so reserved be should be re munerated.
