This report ought to have preceded that from the Staffof the Austrian torps, dated Kobryn, Aug. 13, and inserted in the Moniteur of-yesterday. . REPORT oF,THE PRINCE OF SCHWARTZENBERG'TO ' THE PRINCE MAJOR-GENERAL. KObryti, Aug. 14, 1812. MONSEIGNEUR, I beg y our M ost S erene Highness to acquaint his Majesty the emperor, that the army of TormasOff, which had taken a position beyond Horodezna, and Podubnie, was attacked on the 12th by that which I have the honour to command, beaten and pursued on the 13th beyond Kobryn. The enemy suffered a loss of 3,000 men in killed slid wounded, besides 500 prisoners,. Under cover of the night of. the 12th, he. Withdrew all'his ar tillery beyond the Muchawetz, and we could' only take from him some caissons. Our heads of co hums arrived at Kobryn on the 13th, an hour after mid-day ; the. enemy's troops crowned the "'eights on the left hank. 06 the arrival of the in fun'rY, I caused the bridge to be re-established, a nd a portion of the ground beyond it to be ocen pied ; taut the enemy displaying a numerous in- f autrY, and my troops being much fatigued, I was not able to push him forward more than a league and ar. half, on the route from Kobryn to Divin, which the enemy took with his whole army. 2, I have thi day sent *forward General Bianehi, with two brigades, two batteries, and 1200 horse, on the road to Divin. Some parties are advancing upon Autopal ; and I requested General Replier to push strong detachments towards Brzesc. These detachments set out yesterday, and I await the (krauts. T h e enemy has a very numerous artillery, and it Las been pretty well served. 'I learned at Kobryn, that General Gaplitz, with a Corps of 7000 Men, with which .1 had an action at Sreuivice, did not arrive with 24 pieces of ar-. tiltery, till the eweniug after the battle ; a circum anee so much the more advantageous' to Me, because Torrnasoff's cavalry is more numerous than that which I have to oppose to him. The greatest praise is due to General - Count ileynier, and the Saxon troops which fought under him. It is to this General that I must chiefly ascribe the glory of the action of the lath. The task of turning the left of the enemy fell to his lot, and lie pertormed..it with . the coolness and v igour. to be expected from sp distinguished an otficer.,. TLe Aiwriari troops engaged. in the combat, displayed the greatest ardour, and fought with ad mirable perseverance and bravery. The brave regiment Jerome Colloredo, amidst a shoWer of chain-shot from a battery established on the heights, and notwithstanding a loss of 18 officers and 300 men, passed straight on through a marsh which Was thought impracticable, to charge the flank of the enemy, who, by redoubled attacks, bad forced the Saxon brigade of General Saar to , give way for a moment. 'This regiment over threw, with the bayonet, all that opposed it; Inns disengaging the left . flank of the above bri gade► which availed itself of that opportunity' to re-for m the line. The enemy having pushed a detachment of 1,000 infantry, 800 horse, and some cannon, by Lohiezin, ‘ l i ) °nlwantzewiczy, on the Czara, in order to dis turb our communications with Slonint, I have sent General Mohr, to attack this detachment, and give It all possible annoyance. With this I transmit a copy of the order of battle, found in the lodgings of General Torrnazoff, at Itubryn. e I am, B,c. SCHWARTZENAER6.

FURTHER •EXTp.ACTS. WARSAW, Aug. •14.—Among the numerous acts of accession which the General Confederation has lately received, we remark the following The goOd cause at last triumphs : Poland arises and marches towards the greatest glory ; I learn that the Senate has made an appeal to the children of the country, to invite them to concur in the re-establishment of its ancient grandeur ;- I wish to reply to this happy appeal ; the power and force of those \who direct the enterprise must ex cite all the virtues: I never doubted the existence of eternal justice, which would one day revive Pod land from its ashet7, and restore her to her former splendour, which she can never again lose, be cause concord will reign in it.

They repulsed some Prussian troops and approached-our town. • On the 7th we attaaed and repulsed them : at this moment several gun-boats are cut off, and we every instant expect that they will be obliged to stirrender. We are waiting for the heavy artillery, in order to vigorously press the siege of Riga. That town now presents the image of consternation,- more than 500 pers'ons perished daring the.night in which the suburbs were burned ; 'others saved 'themselves in their shirts. We expect that this Place will not make a long resistance.

V7EDNF.SDA.Y, SEPT. 16. tile Sessions commenced this day' liefore Justice HZATH., Baron WooD, Sir VICARi 01335, the LORD MAY OR, The first persons put to the bar *ere John West brook, _Elizabeth Phipps, Susannah Phipps, awl ga , lintel Westbrook, who stood indiCted list Seoori for having burglariously broken cpen and entered the dwelling house of Joseph (L':Onyughain, Angel and Porter-cburt, Golden,lane, and corrt mitted a robbery therein, bit • whose, trial *as postponed in consequence of the absence of a ma terial witness.' It appeared from the evidence adduced in sup- Port of the prosecution; that -the prosecutor is a haWker and pedlar. ; that he had gone into- the country to sell some goods, and upon his return found that his room bad been broken open, and property to the amount of 1201. ,stolen from it.— In consequence of some information given to him by .Patrick Cochrane, - a , lodger in the same house, he regained part of his property, and through the same means he• ascertained the persons who had plundered him. This witness stated, that he heard the door of the prosecutor's room broke open, and soon after saw John Westbrook and Elizabeth Phipps go out of the, house with bundles in their possession. He followed them, and saw Susannah. Phipps in Golden-lane,. who was immediately joined by them,_ and to whom they gave part of the articles which they took from .the.house. It further ap peared; that. John Westbrook and Elizabeth Phipps had subsequently gone to lodge at Wood's- Whitechapel, where they passed as man and? wife, and by the name of Smith. In these lodgings was fonnd. amongst some articles belonging to them, the duplicate of a- shirt which had been pawned by them in Whitechapel, and which was recognized by the prosecutor as his propert)a. The only manner in which Samuel Westbrook was said to be.implicated was, that be had been seen to receive from his brother • a bundle three hours after the robbery had been committed. His landlady-proved, however, that he had been at home all the morning. John Westbrook and Elizabeth Phipps were font's' ,guilty—Death and Susannah Phipps and Samuel Westbrook. were acquitted: Henry Moth was tried on an indictment, charg ing.him with having burglariouSly broken open and entering the dwelling house of Mary Tyler, of Islewoeth, on the 25th Of July last, and stole several articles of wearing' apparel, It appeared, that on the night of the 25th of July, Wm. Tyler, son to the prosecutrik, was from home. At ales VQII o'clock Mrs. Tyler and her daughter-in-law bad retired to rest, having previously fastened the cloth-, but in such a manner that Win. Tyler could open it without disturbing theM upon his return. Soon after they bad gone to their respectiae apartments, they heard the door open, and a per son enter, who walked' about and then ,went ,out. A few-minutes after, Was. Tyler returned home, and found the door Open—which circumstance he mentioned to his wife, who told him ,the suspis cions she entertained inconsequence of the ,steps she heard before he .came into the house s _ Upon searching,the parlour, be missed the pelisses of his mother and wife, and other articles of dress. It immediately occurred to him, that a man whom he met, about 50 yards from the house,- with a bundle in 'his hand, and who inquired of him the way to Acton, was the thief. He accordingly went hastily in that direction, and overtook him, and he proved to be the prisoner at the bar.— , Tyler accused him of the robbery, but the pri , soaer only replied by a knock s tisa-vu blow. Tyler, notwithstanding, pursued and collared him, and though levelled to the ground five or siX times by the prisoner, and threatened with murder by him, he still persevered, and with the assistance of a person who was passing by, succeeded in securing him. The property stated in the indictment was found upon him. - The prisoner said in his defence that he was going -from Hampton Court to Deptford, to, see his daughter, and in passing-through Brentford picked up the bundle. He was found guilty of stealing, but acquitted of the burglary. Charles Bullock, also, stood capitally indicted for stealing a leathern bag, containing upwards of 7/. in silver, in the dwelling-house of .Jonas Bayley, on the 43th of July last. The prosecutor is a publican in the Tower, and the bag in goes : tion was in a draWer in the bar. He positively . swore . that it contained' eight dollars, : five 3s. pieces, six Is. 6d. pieces, 6s. and other. silver, to the, 'amount stated in .the indictment. On the evening in question the prisoner was sitting in the bar. The prosecutor, shortly before the prisoner _came in, saw the bag of silver ; having 'Occasion tsi cross the street for a moment, he went out, leOing the prisoner behind him ; and on his re turn the prisoner immediately got up and'sfent ,out, saying he Would return again. • Prosecutor - thought hessaw his Ncket hang •heavity, and im mediately suspected his bag had been taken, and on looking to the draiirer he Missed it. He almost instantly went in pursuit, of the prisoner, but he evaded his search. On the xame evening he was .seen to place the leathern' bagin . which the silver bad been under a sentry box in the Tower. . The Learned Judge, (Baitey:}s, in summing up the , evidence., observed, that under all the circum , stances of the case; he fe'ared the-crime alleged against the prisoner had been fully substantiated. The Jury-, after a short consideration, acquitted the:prisoner of the capital felony, and found him -guilty of stealing to the value of thirty-nine shillings.': Mr. Justice BAILEY having intimated a wish to know thea*.ounds of this verdict? . 'The FOreMan of the Jury said, that it was pro bable the prosecutor might have mistaken the sum • which .was in the bag. Mr. Justice GIBBS.—On your oaths you believe that the prosecutor is mistaken ? Foreman, with a smile—Yes; my Lord. The prisoner, it appeared; had been: long ac quainted with the prosecutor, who recommended him to mercy in the course of his testimony. The prisoner herself did not deny his guilt, but threw himself on the mercy of the Court. Thomas Cutter was capitally indicted under Lord Eilenboxough's Act, for cutting and maiming i i . • The proseeutor is a gardenei., reSidellt in itampstead. stated, that al abottt ten o'clo:t. On.the night sp&i6ed in the indictment; he served the prison4r, whose perSCn he wds nc (painted stealing cucumbers in his garden. The prisoner ran off, but was -overtake!) v7hile getting over a . stile, 'and pulled down by the pro secutor. A scullieensued; and the prisoner drew out a.knifei witb Which be inflicted two severe wounds upon the hatid of the prosecutor, and one on his throat, by which he . vas prevented from further exertion. The prisoner was taken. into custody the same night; at his own lodgings.—He at first denied' all knowiledge of the circumstance-; but having peen told that the prosecutor IVould, in all probability, make it up with him, he agreed to go to the public-house where Hedges, was lying: and upon being searched', a clasp knife was fora .d Upon him. A Surgeon proved the injury sustained by the prosecutor, and that he had been nodet• his care three weeks. The prisoner's - II:di that be had i;een struck first by the prosecutor, and -what lie . had done was in his. Own defenee... The prosecutor having been iisked by the Bench whether this statement of the prisoner Was correct; stated, that he believed he had struck the, risoner with a small stick, when he pulled him from the Stiff. The Judges then consulted; after Which Mr. Justice HEATH told the Jury, that biz Learned Brothers and himself were of opinion, that the crime of the prisoner, heinous as it was, did not come under the Statute under which he was in= dieted; be was therefore entitled to acquittal. — The Jury gave a verdict accordingly \ The prosecutor was an aged man, and 'the pri soner was about 19 years of age. John Williams was convicted of stealing a pltce of linen, Calue 395. from the wharf of. Andrew- Laurie ; Lower East Smithfield, on the night of the Bth instant.

Mr. Siiinrners, Clerk of the Stores at Deptford, depos-A,.that the men had consulted him upon the legality of such sale, as perquisites to the la bourers, which they might throw into the river 9 if not permitted so tb dispose of them ; large pieces of ordnance or stores being usually return= ed , to the Stores for sortie given reward, which *as.rarely paid. Mr. ALLEir made an ingenious defence for the defendant; bitt the case was- fully established against bitn, and the Jury found a verdict of Guilty. The Chairman, Mr. WATSON ) pronounced sen tence upon the defendant, subjecting him to the fine of one hundred pounds, and tube iruprisened till such fine be paid. THE KING V. JOHN BOWDEN. This was an assault charged against the defen dant. The . prosecutrix, Millison Taylor, a poor woman, wife of a journeyman smith, swore, that on the 11th June last, the defendant, after seizing for rent, of four. weeks in arrear, of an unfurnished room which she rented from the de fendant, in Red.
