THE PIOCE,SE OF WILNA. Tile principles of the religion of the Lithuanian people are weil.known, They have been well in : enleated by a wise and enlightened Clergy. The Provisional Government cannot better an , • nounce to .the people the benignity of the CITA Napoleon, who has been led by Providence into Lithuania, nor choose a better channel to make them acquainted with the amelioration of their lot, than by confiding this great interest to the Clergy. We, therefore, order the people to assemble for the purpose of returning thanks to God, who has .been graciously pleased to sent us this Saviour of Poland ; andi to pray, that he will further the successes of his arms. The Clergy will afterwards endeavour to che rish proper sentiments'in the people, so that, sup_ ported by their religion, they may continue their agricultural labours. The peasantry must not be remiss in the per formance of their duty. Their safety and .happi ness depend thereon. They may discover in the abundant harvest be fore them, the evident assistance affordered by Providence to Napoleon the Great. Let them peaceably. gather in their crops, as in ordinary times. Circumstances even require an increase of zeal ; and it cannot be doubted, that with the feelings by which they appear to be now actuated, they will be eager to slim the utmost. Doile the 7th of July, 1812. JULY, 15. —We still enjoy the presence of his Majesty, who rides out every day, attended by a verkifew persons. • . • The day before yesterday his Majesty gave au dience to the. Polish Deputies, the Senators Warvedon, Wibiski, Wladislaus, Count Jarousky, etc.. They had been commissioned by the General Confederation of Poland to bear their homage to his Araiesty. They were presented by his Excel lency the Duke of Bassano, Minister of Foreign Afrairs. The President of the Deputation,- the Senator Warvedon Wybiski, was spokesman. The answer of his Majesty was couched in the 'most gracious terms. The same day, the 11th, some inhabitacts of the Duchy of S!unegitia, M. M. Bilwuz, Braloe wo, Jellemsby, and other officers, having at their head, the old 'Marshal of the Court of Zietgua, had the honour of being admitted to his Majesty's presence : they assured him how much the Sarno gitians• wish to partake in the honour enjoyed by tLeir brethren at Wilna. Llis Majes,ty convused with them on all matters relating to the interests of their country. Our city was- never so brilliant as it has been for the last fifteen . days. The greatest of Sove-. reigns is resident within its walls, within which also are assembled the principal citizen's of our country. A youthful and impetuous race have aranged themselves under the Polish Eagles; it is here proper to mention the names of those zea lous children of Lithuania -who were the first to take arms and equip themselves at their own ex pence. in the guard of Honour we find Prince Oginski, its Chief.—[Several other Polish names are also enumerated.] In the Lithuanian guard, commanded by the Erigadier Konophill, we . find M. M. Magelonski, Nat -hilt, and Michalowski,, completely equipped. A great number of yotrng persons are busily em bloyed equipping themselves. We have no doubt . ut that the Lithuanians will seek' opportunities to distinguish themselves as the gallant fellows of the regiMent, commanded by Count Knadinski, tlid at Som, Sierra, and 4 Benevente. The Bishop of Korakowski has had the honour of being twice brought to Conrt to say mass in the imperial Chapel. lie received a diamond' ring as a present.

Bishon'Korakowski officiated ; when Te Dem v - as sung the President of, the Provisional Com mission delicred a very eloquent discourse, and published the Act of Confederation of Roland. \ hen the reading of the-Act was over, cis of " Long live the Emperor Napoleon the Great," a thOusand times repeated, filled the spacious arches at the church.

By chance it occurred that the, first couple immediately - presented themselves, and received the nuptial benediction. ~ In the evening the city was magnificently minated. The National Theatre was thrown open gratis. The piece, entitled The Crs:covians was played. — The festival closed with a bail, of which COunt Pac, la Lithuanian, did the honours The trans parencies were beautiful, and the inscriptions(very ingenious. Several -French , and Polish Generals were present at the ball, which was also hone. tired by the presence of his Majesty the Emperor and King. This same Gazette - (the Lithuanian Courier) an nounc.:s, this day, the refusal of the Grand Seignior to ratify the treaty of peace concluded at Bucharest, between the Russian and Terkish PienipdtentiarieS.

SWEDEN'.=The official statement of the Military force of Sweden; drawn up for the inspection of BERNADOTTE, was published in the Stoekholm Gazette of last mOiith ; it Was as follows, Regu lar Army, 35,0o0 ; :Reserve; 50,000 ; New Levy, 7,ooo—Total, '9f2,000 men. The naval eAini:d.te comprises six thousand sea men, and three thousand marine-artillery. , A part of the Reserve was embodied on the un principled 'seizure of Pomerania by the French, and we believe is now organized: The new levy was called out some inonths ago. Besides the above, there is a c.lnsiderable body of militia, which is only ordered out on a pressing !' emergency. The individuals composing it are principally small. farmers, Whose - lands, when themselves are absent on service, are cultivated by the district to which they belong. BERNADOTTE has lately reCCilied from the libe rality. of the Swedish States, an addition to his. in come of about 70001. sterling. The allowance for himself and family is now 20,0001. per an num. Since his elevation he has purchased se veral valuable estates in Sweden. It is reportedat Stockhbhn, that an Alnbassa dor Extraordinary to Great Britain would shortly be appointed. • • • Sonic idea may - be formed of the desperation with Which the battle lately fought by the Sea Lark was contested, from the circumstance. of.the , . French Captain's falling pierced With 16 wounds. One of our seamen alsO, after receiving a severe, wound, and having it dressed, ascended., on deck, determined o die or conquer. Lientenant. Warrand lot two of his fingers, and• went below to have the blood stanched, just as the Surgeon was operating, 'on one of the crew. The Surgeon left • the wounded man, and 'proffered his services, bnt the Lieutenant, with a 'nobleness of 'mind which does hirn more honour than his victory', de - dined them, saying, " No—attend to your .pa tient L---he wants your assistance." Then pro ceeding to 'his wife, • who was on board with his child and a female servant, the blood was stop= ped, and he was soon again in the thickest of the, engagenaent. But it was not to her husband alone that Mrs Warrand proved useful ; in conjunction with her servant, she bound up the wounds of the men, and con3oled them with the most cheering language. That heart must be in -0 sensible, indeed ; which refuses to enter into such a-scene as this. To us it appears \as carrying the human virtues to their utmost limits , . The traits we have mentioned must endear the individuals who exhibited them to the hearts. of the brave and good, and obtain for thein the esteem of future, heroes. 'Lieutenant Warrand, with a promptitude which reflects great credit on the Lords Of the Admiralty, has been promoted to the rank of a Master and Commander in the Sea Lark, with a Lieutenant under him, and the additional force of two guns and ten men. Who will say tlmt be has not earned this advancement in a profession, of which he is so brilliant an ornament ? The Gazette account of the action must be admired • for its modesty.
