Be fore We r eac h e d Noyenciasto in one of our de teres, according to the instructions we had I ti e 7_it'ed f rom y ou , f rom t h e hi g h road, we it e ily met a young man, who- is assessor of the Commission of Administration, a nd 11; eart ndly to our cause. This person gave us much efil l information with respect to the situation of `'S\\* the intermit iiiagazines alsd Ie hied , from. bins, , that: there Were. flirty Cossacs - sta tioned in a large tavern in the middle of the 'city, that the Magazines were guarded by veterans, without arms, and that they were Surrounded Li combustibles; :to whichtnatches' wre ready to be applied the inoinenf intelligence was received that the Gratid. Army was on its march towards Ponie , vriez. After receiving this information, we pro ceeded on our route, and having reached a little wood behind the village of Nowidwor, we concealed ourselves there for some time. A pea sant, whom we surprised, informed us that there were five Cossacks detached from Poniewiez, quartered at the house of the landlord's steward. These we made prisoners of without firing a shot, and sent them in. Having reached the town, we rested our horses for a short time, and M. de Raven, keeping in his mind your express orders not to lose sight of the great object, that of sat ing the magazines, for the sake of taking a few„ prisoners, divided his troop into small detachments, for the purpose of immediately attacking the 'ma gazines, putting the r functionaries .to the sword, and employed esery, method to prevent the r set ting them on fire. My orders were to surprise, with twenty horsemen, the CossaCks "io the inn. As soon as the head of our column had' reached , the town, we made the best of our way in. All the inhabitants were enjoying their first sleep, ex cept the Russian Commissary, who was, engaged with a select society at Pharo. Not thinking it necessary to trouble Riyself with him, I proceeded to the inn. The CoSsacks, awakened by the trampling . of the horses, fired at us with their pistols. :I ordered our men to return the fire,. and perceiving that several CoSsacks were avail ing themselves of the darkness of the night to reach the stables on foot or on horseback and es cape, I made the men alight. Just at this:period M. Raven received three wounds, from a - lance, in the thigh and the lower part of his belly, but such of the Cossacks as were able to get away, were almost all wounded by the hussars; who acted as a reserve. Their .officer received a wound from a pistol, in the thigh., of which, if I am righty in formed, he died about two miles from this place. Having alighted, I gave my horse to the trum peter, and entered' the inn sabre and pistol in hand. Eighteen Cossacks having stationed themselves in a corner of rle porch, made a desperate defence, they pushed at random with their lances. lean ed aloud for lights, and some of the citizens en deavoured to procure them, but were attacked and preYented by the Cossacks. 1 then at tacked them sabre and pistol, but being ignorant - that they could protect thepselves by means of a staircase which led to the cellar, our aim was taken too high, and the consequence of which was, that we did no harm' but to the lances, which were hacked and shattered by sabres and bullets. This darkly combat lasted till the day broke upon us. The non-commissioned officer, Werner, then seizing a Russian fusee, roshed forward to attack the Cossacks, at the point of the bayonet, in their subterranea'n retreat. The non-commissioned of ficers, Pommeriet and Gabouski, followed sa bre in hand, and the hussar, .Stanke, who had lost his satire by a blow of a lance, seized that of a Cossack, crying out' to, his comrades, ". 1 shan't let go my hold, cut the Co rack's hands of" Upon this the Cossacks threw, down their lances, and begged for quarter. Two of them were killed, a'few wounded, and the remainder made prisoners. The veterans who were stationed as a guard on the magazines, were without krins, hat some of them, having pinked up muskets, fired on my peo ple. 1 overlooked this, however, and forbore to 'charge the old men, but took them all prisoners 3 '• they arc 120 in number. This, Colonel, is the detail of au affair of, per- haps, not much importance, butsvhich will prove to you that the valour and discipline of out' regi ment 4s not decreased since the seven years war. I beg leave to recommend to you the three non commissioned Officers and the hussar mentioned in my reporc. • , Poniewiez, July 6, 1812. LEIPZIC, JULY 18.—The intelligence received from the Grand French army, confirm its rapid progress. Its different coluthns scarcely meet with any resistance in their quick advances. The Duke of TARENTUM has seized upon Courland, where he found considerable magazines. It was 'thought the Russians . 4ould have attempted to defend themselves upon the river Aa, but they abandoned it to retire behind the Duna. The column which, by Methel, has entered the Russian territory, after having occupied. Polan gen, winded along the ports of the Baltic, and has, it •is said, found considerable quantities of English goods in the ports of Licbau, Hasen pod), and Windaw. • The Russian troops, who occupy the lower part of the Duna, are not numerous ; , they are spread between Kreutzbourg and Riga. The Corps d'Armee of the Duke of TARENTUM is now march ing to the east of Courland. A report has been in circulation that the French had entered Rigs, but it is preinature, and we have, no official advice of it. Maishal the Duke of REGGIO'S corps is marching from Wilkoinir, where Prince WITGENSTEIN had his head-quar ters, to Widzy, in which were those of the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE. Widzy is at some distance from Dunabourg and Bream, I,vhcre the centre of the Russian army passed ' the Duna. The Duke of EL' CRINGEN, with his corps, is marching to it. The Russians are erecting entrenchments at Dunabourg and between that town and the Duna; it appears that it is in that position . where they will wait for the French Army. At the departure of the last courier the French head-quarters were still at Walla, but it was not expected they would remain there long. rill/Lif4 4AiL; "'Annu, Ftrgr. 19.. Yesterday the general m ex traordinal'y ParliaMetit wts solemnly opened by . a spcecli froai his Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince, n'Thich will ever remain impressed . on. the meniories and written in the hearts of the Ski.: lians, on account of the noble sentiments expressed in it by the illustrious Prince it was to the fol lowing purport Dear and beloved Sicilians, • : FrOM the moment that my illustrious father committed to my tare the reins of Givernment, all my views have been solely directed to provide for your relief and benefit. To give, therefore, a stable aspect to the public affairs of this kingdom, I have Judged it necessary to assemble this Ge neral 'Extraordinary Parliament, to provide for the necessities of the State, the emendation of the laws, and the reformation of abuses, which hate crept in by the lapse of time, 6.-ad to establish a well regulated_ public order. " With respect to the first object, the necessities of the State, I could have -wished, my faithful Sicilians, that it bad not been necessary to Mei' any demand on you, but this is impossible in timet of such scarcity, and when it is necessary to provide liberally for your defence against an enemy who cont;nually threatens to make you his slaves, to dissipate your substance, to gratify his caprice, and to tear from you your children to be made the instruments of his ambitious and deSpotic de signs, calamities from which, thank God; in con sequence of the provident care of my august pa rent, and the ellicacious„aid of our powerful ally, you have hitherto been exempt. " I have taken every care that von shalt not want supplies in this unfortunate year of penury, when the prices of all co:amodities have sb rapidly ri sen, but I am obliged to tell you, that in the present state of our finances you must seriously apply yourselves to providing' for the urgent rie cessities of `the state, in which I. am certain, faithful Sicilians, you will generously exert your selves with pleasure. _ _ . " ,As you must be well convinced that a nation can never Makeitsell respected and esteemed, but in proportion as it shall enact and maintain in rigour wise and beneficial laws, you will espe cially give your attention to this object. You have before you a happy example of this in Great Britain, our faithful Ally, whore wise and poised Constitution has raised her to that height of wealth and power to which she has attained, and which enables her to support the .great con test in which she has engaged against the com mon enemy. ".Apply yourselves then, faithful Sicilians to these important objects, and do.not suffer your- . selves to be seduced, from an immoderate love of novelty, by any abstract theories, or fantastic sys thins, ever dangerous in the discussion of such subjects ; and equally to be avoided, is an exces sive and superstitious attachment to certain old establishments and customs -of your ancestors. By guarding carefUlly against each extreme, you will act equally for the glory and advantage of both the Throne and the Nation, and render memorable, in the annals of our history, the day in ‘vhich was laid this foundation Of national' aggn , ndizer'nent and glory. Recollect that the eyes of all Europe are fixed upon us, and let us exert ourselves to conduct to a glorious termination this great undertaking, which, I trust i in the Supreme Lord of all things, mucst at once increase the stability of the Throne, and the happiness of the subject. Be assured, that you shall receive from me every assistance in my power. • . The Hereditary Prince having concluded his animated discourse, the Archbishop of Palermo addressed the AsSembly to the same purport ; after which, the Members separated, and with the •beginning ofnext week the Sessions of this Par liament will commence.

This scandalous and unpar donable order would justify us in at once depart ing from our wonted moderation, and renouncing those sentiments of lanna.iity which have h:therto directed our conduct. Assassins, and the viola tors of all law, are no longer the fit objects Cif mercy. However contrary to our principles such proceedings may be, they are dictated by just ven geance, and can only be considered as fair retalia tion. I aria persuaded that no one will dare to execute the ferocious decree to which I allude 5 but should any one have the audacity to carry into effect, then retaliation shall be inflicted on all those who are taken by our soldiers, either ny sea or land,-7-thit the rest may be aware of the measures to which wcare compelled by the mon.; strous conduct of their Governors.
