SOLE.3I QUIS DICEItE FALIUM ArVEAT L,O NI) 0 N, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1812. Government have received Dispatches from Gottcnburgh to the 20th ultimo, but they do not, we understand, contain any thing important: We have little to acid to the important intelli gence which we communicated to our readers on Saturday from France. From the studiously ob scure manner in which the fact of the insurrection is stated in : the Moniteur, we are led to .believe that the attempt was of a much more serious na , • • • - ture than the official paper seems disposed to admit. It seems quite clear, that a considerable number of - - the National - Guards were engaged in the plot, for the insurgtipts were divided into three bodies, and attacked, at .the same time, the residences . of the Minister of Police, the Prefect of Paris, and , . the Military Commandant. No details are given;• all that we aresinfOrmed of -is; that the assailants were repulsed, and their leaders, Generals MALLET, UILLET , and L,IIIORIR, were taken, - and, of course, shot. General-.Lnnoitim was formerly- a General of Brigade, and a : particular friend of :MOREAU, with whom he served. L.:RORIE fled :into Germany at the time . of MOREAU'S arrest, but returned 'to France about three years ag0....-- ‘ GUILI : ET and MALLET bad both been Generals of -Brigade. Some private letteri have been received: from France, but they throw no additional light upon this subject. . A letter,_ however, has been received from Guernsey, which states that two boats full . of English prisoners had been sent to that island, A . vithout exchange•on our part, and it was stated, - as a reason . , that a plan had been formed for overturning the present French Govern ment, and that' one of the first acts adopted in the Tlevz order of things would be to set at liberty the British prisoners so long unjustly detained by the Tyrant. If this be true, the plan of insurrection is infinitely More/extensive than the Alcrriiteur is dis posed to acknowledge. It is said that the neces sity of BUONAPARTE'S return to Paris, has been strolgly represented - to him, but we think lie will eAk.t.o.e .to leave his army under the pre- iii C~. V 7 7 k :7l ; m WS a PLYMOUTH, OCT. 30.—The Strenuous gun, brig drifted from her anchorage, between the Island arfl the Main ; this morning; during a gale, and went ashore in Tirestone'Bay ; but has since being got off without any material - damage: This afternoon a Dock-yardrVilotA)oat, in working out of jiamoaze, went :p.shere at Wil-. derness _Point, and still remains,,,Ow4 . e much da maged.

Last evening a few merchantmen from Quebec put into Cawsand Bay, most of Nvhicluare bound to the Eastward ; among them are the Isaac Todd, Brunswick, Dorset, Spvice, and the Royal Oak, JACKSON; the latter has a cargo of timber for this port ; a few days since, during a gale,' the Dorset sprung her masts and received other damage. The above ships sailed on the Ist of October, in com pany with a fleet, which consisted' of jorty-six sail, bound to England, under convoy of his lSa jesty's ship Prometheus, parted company a week since, when about 20 'sail were with . the convoy, the others having been dispersed in stormy weather.

We have herewith' to lay before our readers a true copy of a letter from the bailiff of a village, and steward of an estate, to his Lord, dated Sep tember LI, (25), froth the Government of Stho lensko • • . , " I have to inform you, that Smol - ensko, Do rogobusch, Wasma, and Gchatsk, are taken by the French. There is no longer any post going here. By the inroad of the French, the other estates lying around us are totally ruined; the Frenfli carry off all the baked bread, and likewise as much flour and oats as they can find among the peasantry ; they likewise take 'away all the cattle, horses, cows, and sheep they call find, wiLbout leaving the least behind thew, and drive them to their own army. In, six neighbouring villages all the pea sants and the stewards have left their houses, and fled to distant estates ; they have suffered exceed ingly from the French. The French have totally burnt several villages and bayonnetted the pea sants, and plundered all their corn, cattle, and other property. I alone have never left the estate or gone elsewhere, nor discharged any of the. peasants ; but, on the contrary, I have assembled them, and armed them all with pikes, and in such manner kept the French off from. us. " At the distance of four wersts from us, the French have broke down a church ; but I, with my peasants, cut 15 of the French down on the spot. They have also pulled down a church in another village; but I prevailed on the boors of some other estates to join me, and we gave theni bAttle. We cut down a number of the French on the spot, and made a part 'of them prisoners, whom we sent into the town. I have almost every day with my own pea-, santry, and thOse of the other estates ; skirmishes with the French, who . make attacks - on the vil lages near to , us, in small parties bf 30, 20, •15, men; and against-whom we arm-ourselves ourselves; but now no Jouger know how much farther God Will help us. We ride about and patrole by day, and- at night we keep guard. "'There are none of our inhabitants,. (i. e.) merchants, and all other crasses, in the town of Gchatzk, there being none but the enemies in that place. In the church of Cazan, dedicated to `the Mother of God, 'French horses arc put; and some houses are burnt'doWn." Both this letter, and-others which have et*ar ed in the NOrthern Post, giving confirmed in telligence of the barbarous proceedings - bf the French, clearly prove ; that the villages in which these inhuman enemies _meet with no resistance, and from which the boors haie fled without fight ing, have all been plundered- and burnt down aid that the young peasants have been shoved in among the French soldiers ; whereas; in those where the French meet with opposition, and where the boors, armed in their manner with axes, scythes, hay-forks, and pikes, engage and attack them, the Erench are conquered and beaten in every engagement by our brave peasants, who fight in defence of their .religion and native country. RUSSIAN BULLETINS. OFFICIAL. ACCOUNTS FROM THE ARMY. Lieutenant-General Count Wittgenstein reports to his Imperial Majesty, from his camp,,in the vicinity of Sokoliseht, under. date of th,e 'l3th (25th) September, as follows : " The troops under my command are incessant ly harassing the enemy. I detach cavalry upon . expeditions to divers places, add even into the enemy's rear, all of which have- turned out well, but particularly the last, which I. sent but to clear the circles of (.4Orodezk and Polosk from the ma- rauders, has succeded in an eminent degree,' and been ofAlte greatest use and consequence to us, in destroying the magazines of provisions which the enemyhad esta . olished„ This was under the command of the Cossack Colonel ,Rodionow-47,Y and Consisted of 200 CossaCks of his own regi ment, and a detachment of ,the dismissed.

Avitlr:Lteiffi Meuveul (who had dctfended -himself .valiantly 'at fought desperate l .y,) -- prisOnerS; the Lieutenantt being made prisoner by the learlc sh Essaul Popow,, insight of the whole •detaehment, Colonel Rodiotiow. hereupon sent - -a hirge foraging party to Sweno, to take •theeneiny the provisions to that place," which Was:aikewise punctually performed by - the Solnik who an his arrival there . took•the Commissary of War, and some privates, and' found - about - 2000 measures of flour, which he (not having- any • waggons to bring it way) totally spread abbilt and threw into the water, :so that ,not the least part of it was left for the enemy. In expectation of this, Ccdonel Rodionow had reuraiiiedl at Shelzy,.• from whence he at midnight departed for - Kosjany, as he knew there was no small number of light cavalry at that place. The difficulties of the road were very great, occasioned by hall to pass through streamiets, morasses, and h wood, in many pats of which the road jai, cut up i but all these di:at:hies could not di', thin the lia‘ssian warriors by the zeal of concerned, and the abilities of Lieut. rareil sou; of the Quarter-Master's Staff, all difficulties, were surmounted. Near the village of Gror , "" t ' no, they were received with a fire of musquetrP, from an ambush of the enemy's detiichment, ( 1 ' 300 men, commanded by a Lieutenantiand Coii missary at War. This corns, taking advanta' of the darkness, would not let us pass the which it was absolutely necessary for us to do, bit their fire did us no harm, and our detachmen. surrounded the village, broke into it; threw the:x selves on th , t enemy, and cut several of Oleo down ; the remainder set fire to the stores thef had with them, and hid themselves in the woo:b We have made a Lieutenant Commissary at Wa:l and 33 men,. prisoners. Our people afterwards proceeded on their way to Kosgany; and arrive 4 there on the 9th (21st) about an :hour before daylight. The enemy, relying do the superiority of .his force, and advantageous position, prepare(' to drive our detachments back. His piquets , which were placed in the wood, and could not be surrounded, had given information of the arrival of our troops. Although that, by their prectla• tions, the 'attack was dangerous, yet we deter mined on making it, and directed Essaul Popov:, and one of the most intelligent Officers, that be, after having made his approach with the detach ment, should cut off the enemy's road to Polozk. Another part of the Cossacks, under the command of the brave and resolute Solnik Sludeniken, were, to impetuously throw themselvei on the field guards, cut their way through them, and take; possession of the road leading to 'Witch& . _ `• The Lieutenanfof the (44after-master's Staff, Erenszow; was directed to guard the bridge over the river Obila, in order to cut off the enemy's re treat to Gorodka, and,not suffer those on the otheri side the river to come to their assistance, riThei Lieutenant-Colonel of Artillery, NepeiZyn, : who had three squadrons of dragoons under his corii- , 1 mand,. was to leave one squadron and some Cos-1 'sacks behind as a reserve; and with two .sqiia drons, and the rest of the Cossacks, charge the !• centre of the enemy at full gallop, as 'being the strongest part of their position. This lie perforin ed in the most exemplary manner. lie led , the squadrons on, and personally cut into the enemy's front—threw six squadrons into disorder, and routed them: Major Iluklevvitsch also greatly dis tinguished himself on this occasion. " Although on account of the day not bein3,' quite broke, the dispositions of Colonel Rodeo now could not be executed quite particularly, yet nothing could resist the valour of the Russians.—: The enemy's front, which .consiSted entirely of French troops, could not withstand out' attack, but fell into disorder, and fled with, the gre.-.test alacrity on all sides, but found to their cost that all the roads were already in posnession 'of .our troops, and thus the numerous bodies of the, enemy were forced to endeavour to rind an outlet to wards Polosk 5 but even here he was pui.,H , ..!ki most with the speed of lightning by c:;:.:‘.• force; which -had attacked hint - lir the uttitre, as well 1.16 by - cuC• cr;f. Min- the roads' of Polosk and Witch !.k, for the distance of nearly seven wersts. • , According to the prisoners' reports, the 'ene my lost eight officers; and_upwai . ds of 400 killed on the field of battle, and in the pursuit. This is likewise proved, by the whole road being covered with the enemy's dead bodies, and mortally wounded. The third light regiment of the second division of the enemy's cavalry was totally cut to pieces, and , the other detachments of cavalry ‘vilich were attached to it, have likewise suffered , very great loss. Besides this, we have made : prisoners . , in all these sundry engagements, Lieu tenant-Colonel Tend, of the 3d light regiment of cavalry, two Captains, two Lieutenants, four Commissaries of War, and 184 privates. Excln, sive of these we have taken. 300 horses, 100 of which are delivered for the use of our dragoons, above 1000 baked loaves, belonging to the enemy, . 40 casks of brandy, near.sooo tschew.ertz of flour and oats., and, 100 head of horned cattle, all of 'which, with the exception ..of the cattle, was partly burnt,,and partly thrown into .the water, as we had no waggons to carry it off. The loss on our side is very small, nine Cos sacks killed and thirty-five wounded, most of which are only slightly, as the enemy, from ter ror, could not act with 'effect, and I;e* imme-diately overthrown, was obliged to seek his safety in flight, without thinking of making any defence. In all these engagements I must do justice tc) the prudent dispositions, Valour, and presence of mind of Colonel Rodeohow, whO directed this ex pe MI, and to . the dismissed Lieutenant-,Colo neld'f of artillery, 7 N*epeizyn, Who actively seconded, in every thing, and I 'lntve the happiness of recommending their to your imperial Majesty's, most•gracious: notice ter rewards-: ""..prom the accompanying, original chart, take'-- from the. captured enpriy's Ctinunissary of War, which, though not lrge, shews the place marl - s-:, and drawn of which tillagts each diVis;; - , n forage and forpxmaga.zincg f% you Irn- Jerial wifl'percei:Et that the second divi sion- and light Ca.Va . fry Are totally destitute of since Cohn Rodionow having de, -- stiV'Yed their . niag-azines; the corn for the division is collected.frOrft the ether side of Owti nu.
