GALICJA• (LEMEERG),- •OCT. 1.-The corps of the Russian army, 'commanded by General Count De,Wittgenstein i ,whichhad Jhe charge of defend ing the road leading to St.Petei.shurgh, is making dispositions for a retreat. There was placed be-, fore Borobrinsk, 'on the right wing ofthe French . ,grand army, a Polish 'corps, which'served to keep a check on the Russiaircorps d'armeeundeFthe command of General? Ertel. There is in Lithtra:- nia.a Polish corps Of •:15!;000' men, infantry, ,and. 4000 cavalry. From the 10th to the 20th of Sep 7 tember, 19,000 men have paSsed through ‘Vilna tb join.thegranaarmy. See in what Manner one obtains knowledge of the r-roat events that are pasging.. The plan of' the Russian campaign , was , drawn up by 'General fihul, Who was *t that time in thwrrussianihritice. According to this plan, the Russians otiht, Without engaging, to have retired. to the .banks Of Tie Dwina,' which were fortified. Dina,buna:botirg, and the entrenched camps on theDrissa, were the points on which the army_wa§ to bear.' The movements of the Prench army dicl not at 'all'harmonize with the plan adopted by Ale Aussians. Instead of march ing toWard:,'. St. Petersburgh, as all the Russian Generals expected, the Emperor Napoleon ap peared to menace the city' of Moscow, and the most fertile - provinces Of Russia. The two prin cipal Rtissian - m-mieS, were separated, and every one blaMed the plan of operations that had been , adopted: The Emperor. of Russia yielded to the representations of the great majority'Of the offi- Cers; and General Phut was dismissed from the : army, ,General Barclay de Tony then Construct-: ed a new . plan.. The two armies were to f•einfite at Smolensk°, where .they were to act-upon the offensive,. ,This junction was , effected' at Smo lensk° on the 2d of August; but, the French Mo narch knew how to render this new plan of ope rations ineffective. ,The Generals believed. the •French to be still on the banks of the Dwina, whilst 'they appeared at•Witepsk, and afterwards at Smolensk°. The offensive plan necessarily be came A plan of defence., The battle of :INioskwa, and the taking of-Mokow, were the consequences of .the system equally happily conceived as pro foundly executed by the Emperor of the French. The taking of 'this capital must make a terrible impression on the Russian nation. HERIVIANST.ADT, 14.---The roads of Tran sylvania are putting in repair in the greatest haste; and large magazines are establishing im that province. Entrenchments are likewise throw ing up on the frontiers of Wallachia. detach,ments destined to reinforce the Aus trian auxiliary corps have , received orders to take the shortest route, which passes through the city of Lemberg. VIENNA, OCT. s.—According to the accounts from hai'est, which may be credited, it is stated, that the Ottoman Porte hascauSed a num ber of the troops of the army of, the Danube, ,to March into. l'iloldavia and Wallachia. ,An epidemical , sickness has appekred at Odessa,l in many of the vessels coming from .the LeNq.nt, and it was soon recognized as . living the. plague. The Duke de Richelieu, Gdvernor of this city, has officially announced 'to the Divan, that the malady, is not so bad as it was .; at first represeutt . He has, nevertheless, caused a cordon of troops to be drawn round Odessa - ; and has given orders,. that all persons landing shall. perform a quarantine of 15 days. On' the frontiers of Au,. stria precautionary measures are taken. as ustiai in similar chss. , • The. latest inteliigence from the auxiliary corps state, that the Russians 'continue ,to entrench themselves behind the river Sty,.. They have there formed formidable redoubts, and it appears to be their intention to keep them during the winter; meanwhile ,several combats of the ad vanced guards occasionally happen between both parties, but which lead to: nothing decisive. The Prince of Schwartzenberg is in expectation of Considerable reinforcements, which ought at this moment to have joined hith, and it is believed that it is his intention then to attack the Russians. The Polish corps under Generatlicsinsky, which is attached to the Austrian-Saxon army is wise \ receiving reinforcements. The communica tions. of the army with Lemberg, Warsaw, and the other points of the. Polish and Austrian fron .,tiers, are thoroughly established, We know, as a positive fact, that the French and Polish corps have driven away the Russians who came into the environs of BObrinsk ; that in the mean while nothing prevents tbe operations of the siege ; that the place is very nearly closed in, and that it *ill be very difficult, for' t to make a long re sistance. It is presumed that the French corps under the command of the Marshal Duke of Benun°, which has passed through Suiolensko, will advance to the Upper Dwina, to act in the rear of the army 'of the Prince of 'Wittgenstein. ; In, all the pro vinces of Poland which were under the Russian dominion, battalions and regiments are continually raising to reinforce the Polish army. Lithuania is making the greatest efforts. [FURTHER EXTRACTS.) AUGSBURGH, OCT. S.—There are forming in Lithuania five regiments of national infantry of 3000 men each, and four regiment's, of cavalry of 1000 each, without reckoning the battalions of ehasseurs and the corps of volunteers. A second army of reserve, commanded by Mar shal the Duke CASTIGLIONE, 60,000 strong, co . vets the 'coasts between the Niemen and the Oder. Troops destined to complete the different corps pass every day through Walla ; the last ten, we have sen, to the number of 19,000, pass through. • Wi• . st the centre 0 the grand arin3,, cora :mantled tiy Are Eticipeior in persOn, rliarclied upon 111oebw,"and took possession .of that Capital, the right witigadVanCed upOri lialcitga, and the left upon Zwenigord.. The rildiementi of thiSe wings appeared to threaten the important towns of : Tonla and Twer, Where the most iMportant of the Russian 'Manufactures for the fibricatiOn of arms are established.

Marshal MACDONALD, 'Duke of Tarerite,.with . which the Prussian ouxiliary corpS is joined, has already commenced the regular siege of the fort ress of Riga. The. heavy artillery to be used in in carrying on the siege, arrived on the 20th September at . Bauski, betweenMittan and Riga. The 2d and 6th eprps of the grand army; 'the first. composed of French troops, and the second, ofillavarianS, both under the orders of Marshal Count 6OUVION ST.

TORMASOFF, and . the . wrecks Of the ci-devant Russian army, of tire Danube, under the orders of General' Ts cnirc HAL KOFF, which is advancing towards Volbynia.— These two corps &armee are flanked upon the left and right by two POlish corps, one of which, commanded by General DOMBROV SKI is posted' near Bobrinsk, and at the same time observes a Russian corps, composed of recruits nndtr General ERTEL:, and the other, directed by General Ko- SINSKI, covers the frontiers of Warsaw: Whilst the centre and both wings of the grand army hq-, by maneevvres, as rapid as well as combined, of the French Ali:march, occupied the most important points of the. Russian Empire, or still tareaten them by every where form;ng an immense line, which is in possession of an extent of territory.' The 9th corps of the grand army, forming the first reserve, under the orders of Marshal VICTOR, Duke of Belluno, advances upon 'Smolensk: • This 'corps, composed of a force of from 45 to 50,00 p men is ready to act on every point, and besides. furnishes troops for the garrisons of the towns between th i e BOrysthenes and the Duna. Persons who do not. well understand the course of events, cannot explain how this active state of things could be hi ought about by the loss of the single battle of the 7th Sept. and in the short in terval of three month's: ' The Java. frigate, Captain the Hon. W. Gait- DON, is under orders to proceed inunediately with dispatches for India, and will sail on Monday next, if possible. General Hisi.or goes out in the Java, which, we understand, touches first at Bombay, and in succession at the other. Presiden cies and naval stations in the Indian seas. The Maitland country ship, it is expected, will be, dispatched at the India House on Tuesday, and sail' for Madras in the course of the ensuing . week.

A Spanish Officer, who has arrived from the head-quarters of BUONAPARTi, describes the si tuation of the French troops as. in several re spects 'extremely critical. He admits the truth of the assertion, that the Spaniards and Portuguese led on the attack at S►noiensko, but he says they were followed close in the rear by thirty-five pieces of . artillery, • which would have. destroyed them had they disobeyed. He says, that the bri gade to which he belonged, when it entered Po land, was 2500 strong, and thatbefore he effected 'his escape, by desertion and the sword, it was re duced to 400. j'ArtLIAMENT• MEMBERS itETuitr4Ei).
