of Berga, is only retarding his destruction , armies are impatient to cot he up with him [From the Journal des :What: of Thursday.] At the same time, Count Curial moves on Esteban de Bas ; he there learns, on the sth of May, that Mina bad left Besora to force the point of Ripoll where Romogosa was ; but corn pene4Vto Nitwit to Besora, and knowing that the Baron d'Eroles was . at Esquirol, in a position capable of being supported by Connt Curial, Mina determines to proceed to Olot and Castelfollit, with the utmost expedition, as he mast have, known that General Donnadien had arrived at Vich, which cut him off pletely from the road to Barcelona. Mina, there fore leaves a part of his troops at Besora, and marches with the rest on Olot ; but Count Curial having received information of his movements, advances to Olot before him, upon which Mina proceeds the same day to Valfugona. Now, what will he do ? Will he move into the mountains wilere he can get no provisions ? Will lie endea - rnar„44-tailer France? Bat• Couot Curial follows him closely ; our frontiers are defended,---the brigade of St. Priest is at [;elver, and a regiment is stationed 00 the frontier near Campredon. i‘ All uncertainty. will be at an end in a few .l a ys. All that is positively known is, that the original corps of Mina is divided into three parts, one atT7.lfogana, one at Besora, and the third under Milan's" lt..td Llobera is encamped near nostabrialt. c , The following letter from Winans to Mina whichhas been intercepted, confirms all oar reaso - ings: Translation of a Ldter addressed by Milan: to Mina, which . was seized on the person of an etnissary. St. Comma ae Sermes, 7 &dock in the morning, May A. 6 , My esteemed Friend and Companion, c 4 I n spite of the advanuges of this position, I am obliged to abandon it, and to retirem St. Celoni, because the•enemy is now at two lear;ues distanie on my left, and will no doubt, even this day, occupy s t . narks. If in this position lam attacked in front, it would not be in my power to effect my retreat without experiencing a :great loss. I , sun of • opinion that you (night to retire on St. Felieu del Piano, or in the' neighbourhood. In this case we can assist each other ; and , believe me that we shall not obtain any advantage over them until w e hive united our for ces ; t h at is to say, yours at t h e c ol de 11laneade, an d m i ne in the Conreria and its viOnity. From these positions we can draw from Barcelona artillery and every kind of munitions of wa r , b es ides several thousands of m en , w i t h whom we without being taken in fl a nk. may forin a junction The General who eaunmands is the Baron d'Eroles. All the artillery acid the army is two hours and a half distant from me in front. Let us not sleep in retiring, and let us endeavour to form a junction. Whig is the opinion of your true friend, (SigmA) " MILANS." 4c Therefore the troops of Milans did not retire intentionally on nostairinh to withdraw .our at tention from, and to conceal the movem ents o f Nina. gi lans m akes known to Mina the danger of his position) and strongly urges him to .form a j unct i on pith him. This also proves that the position of tile Copstitutional troops at Besora and Volfagoou n n the ith and Bth of May wa s compulsory, and has been the result of the movements of General Donnadiau on - Vich , of the resistance of General Rpmagosa at Ripoll, of the position of the 'Baron d'Eroles at Esquirol, and of the vigor with which Mina is pursued by Count Curial. NEWS FROM VIE 4 , , 12111Y OF SPAIN. • [EXTRACT 01 PR IVATE LETTER.] Mad -quarters, Burgos., May 10. " , Yesterday morotng ail express arrived here from Madrid, in twenty-three hours. lie states that Madrid is deserted) and not a single soldier All the divisions of the French and Spanish " PARIS, MAy 14.—We stated yesteiday that the manoeuvres of our Generals had divided into two the army of Mina. The Opposition Journals, on the contrary, say -that Mina has manoeuvred admirably, that he has deceived all the world, defeated every calculation, and that the present positions of the different corps of the army of Mina are the effect of the most skilful combina tions. " Let us examine this question. "The movement of the troops of Mina would appear to be the result of a manoeuvre, the object of which was to show himself on the frontiers. of France, or to throw himself into the mountains of Cerdagne, in order to harrass the rear of the French army, if the actual position of the army of the General of the Cortes, according to the reports of the Marshal Duke de Conegliano, dated the Bth, was not the• consequence of the march of the division of Count Curia!, of the corps of Baron d'Eroles, and of the division of General Dounadieu. "In fact, Mina withdraws from Olot and Besora on the (2d of May. lie dispatches Milan,: and Llobera to Arner, and himself takes the route to Vic!). The Baron d'Eroles • pursues l - ilatts and Llobera, comes up with them, takes som e waggons and about one hundred prisoners, among whom are several officers, separated this division from the corps of Mina, and pushes it on Mosta I rich. tack the enemy's position, whence it may be naturally concluded that Mina, on his part, very desirous of operating in the same manner against General Donnadieu, marched boldly on Campredon, and forced General Donnadieu to make an advance movement, and throw himself into the centre of Catalonia, having Mina in front, and - Minns and Llobera on his flanks. Mina will take the same route as Ge- neral Donnadieu, and move rapidly on Vie by Ripoll, whilst General Curial and the 13aroi d'Eroles were flattering themselves they should shut him up in Cumpredon.

We have received, at a late hour this morning, Dutch and .11arnburgh Papers, of which the following are Extracts 46 BATAVIA, DEC. 25.—8 y a communication from the Chief of the Dutch Connovrce in Japan, we are enabled to publish the following impor tant account, of which that officer had received Official information:— " The English ship Sarasin, commanded by D. Kerr, of 400 tons burdetf, and having a crew of 33 men, was compelled, for want of water and other necessaries, to put into Oeragn, a place 20 miles from the capital city of Jeddo, on the 10th of June last year. This vessel, fitted for the ‘vhale fishery, sailed from London two years and a half ago. It was furnished with every thing neces. sary by the Japanese Government, and con_ 'sued its voyage ten days after its arrival at Oeraga. " JAN. 3,1823.—0 n the 27th December, in he evening, a shock of an earthquake was felt the residency of Kadoc, about nine o'clock a the evening; it was in the direction from east o west ; it was repented 18 times in 20 hours. " At present we have the unhappy certainty hat four villages are burnt and ten buried fifteen persons have lost their lives, the inhabi tants of the destroyed villages not having had time to escape. Every thing that could bo done for the relief of the sufferers was done by the Itesident, as far as the time would allow. " Sr. PETERSIJURGif, AMU, 27.—Tho Adjn. ant-General of his Majesty the Emperor, Wol ronskey, Mentschikow, and Sagrewski, have re ceived leave of absence for several months. . 44 It is positively affirmed, that a considerable reduction is going to be made in the army, and that the Imperial Ukase to that effect will shortly be published. " On account of the quantity of drift ice, it has been necessary to again take down the bridge over the river, and the communication can only be carried on by boats. " The merchants still complain of the stagna tion of trade. The prices of all kinds of colonial produce, have again declined, in consequence of the very small demand th ere h as b een for some months past." Both Houses of Parliament adjourned last night for the Whitsuu Holidays- - -the Lords to "tmrsday and the COMMQVIS to Wednesday -remains there ; and that on the 7th, the Count of Abisbal was at Galapaga,' a village situated be tween the Escurial and Madrid. It appears that this General has, on the whole line of the moun tains from Sarno-Sierra as far as the Guadararna, some thousands of men, composed in part of con scripts who are waiting only fora favourable opportunity to leave him. " The news of the capture of Valencia, by Ularann, is not confirmed. It is said that he has been repulsed in his attack on Valencia, and was obliged to retire. It is a singular fact, that since' our entry into Spain we have not heard a word of Bessieres. " It is announced that we shall set out again from . Burgos on the 13th. Marshal Oudinot takes this morning the direction of Valladolid. Orders have been issued that the advanced corps of the array shall be within three leagues of Madrid on - the 23d; and it is probable we shall enter that capital on the 24th. - (From the Journal do Commerce. " The movement of Mina can only be volun tary on his part. He can, being at Olot, move on Vich with so much the more facility, as he would be supported on his left by Mans and Llober, who keep open in retreating the road to Barcelona. We may remark that when Moncey manoeuvred on the Fluvia, he - expected that Gen. Donnadieu would descend along the 'leer to at- nex THE GREEKS. MARours OF HASTINGS.—To announcing the arrival of the Marquis of HASTINGS at Gibraltar, we added a statement, copied from the Morning Papers, intimating that his Lordship would pro ceed to the lonian Islands, to relieve Sir Tuo. MAS MAITLAND,as the High Conimissioher. We can, however, contradict that statement, as Sir Tiros!As MAITLANI) will resume the Government of the lonian Islands, whilst the Marquis of HASTINGS is to proceed to Naples, as the Repre sentative of his MAJESTY at that Court. We yesterday announced the departure of M. de Mactukno, formerly Consul-General of Spain at Paris. It is announced that his place will be filled by 31. Lahore, the former Spanish Consul at Marseilles, who has been appointed to the situation by the Provisional 'Government of Spam esta . - blished near the Duke of Angouleme. AIX-LA-C/lAPFLLE, MAT 9.—Letters from Warsaw ex plain the facts which have given rise to the reports so fre quently repeated of the assemblage of a considerable number of Russian troops in Poland. Some movements have, in fact, taken place, but only in the Polish army, the regiments in which are organised in such a manner as to be ready to march on the first signal, but nothing has occurred to indicate that they are to march out ol'ihe kingdom on any expedition what ever. But what particularly excites the public attention, is the . assembling of a considerable corps-d'armtie in the government of Witepsk, under the pretext, that the peasants of this pro vince had tumultuously refused the payment of a certain quit rent in consideration of which they have been exempted from services (eorvee;) that were formerly exacted from them. This affair is not of so serious a nature as several papers in the North of Germany have represented it to be, and a few regiments would have been quite sufficient to have restored every thing to order. It is supposed then that the assembling of more than 40,000 men in one point of the Russian Empire is for quite another purpose than that which hasjust been assigned to it. Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Coun cil was held at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Viscount MELVI LLE, ViSColltit Si DUO I) Tit , the CIIA N ceLLon of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. PEEL, Mr. CANNING, Mr. WYNN, Lord D I EXLEY, &C.— The Council continued in deliberation till past four o'clock.

KING'S Tue.vrat.—As this Theatre would not be permitted to open on Whitsun-Eve, the performances took place lust night, and had a very large and brilliant audience. The Opera was °kilo, and GALICIA again displayed his great musical and theatrical talents as the hero of the Piece. lie was well supported by REINA and CURIONI, and particularly by CAmeoltEst, who was very affecting and impressive in the heroine. A new Ballot followed, entitled Aline, ileine de Goleonde. We cannot pretend to develope the Plot, which we confess was wholly unintelligible to us, and we believe to more sagacious auditors,) but as we were gratified by splendid scenery, and admirable,dancing, we were little solicitous to interpret the dumb sheze of the kble. Cou- LoN, ANATOLE, V ESTRIS, and Madame RONZ I VESTRIs footed, vaulted, and pirouetted with ad. mire ble grace and agility. So did A rmE, but we advise her not to wear a perpetual smile, as it to is not b ecom i ng , to h er f ace, though it enables her to display a fi ne set o f teeth. The thunder a sl rolled i n Ot e ll o w i th i mpress i ve effecti, but fluid was disturbed in, its course, the audience re mained quietly in their stations, and devoted their attention to the opera. Some murksof dis approbation attended the Ballet, but considering the beauty of the scenery and the excellence of the dancing, it was unseasonable and unjust.

On Tuesday last, the daughter of an elderly woman, residing in the vicinity of Milton, was confined, and it is most singularly remarkable, that) at the same hour and minute of the ac couchment, the old Lady expired, without having experienced any sumptorns of illness until the moment she was struck with death. 1 The following are the Resolutions agreed on at the Meeting on behalf of the Greeks on h u rad ay Moved by J.

We regret that we have not room for the whole of the Poem, which he de livered with his usual animation and energy, and which was received with warm and reiterated applause by theaudience 7 Tis said that some to Poesy are foes, And think that Literature engenders woes: Such would bring back a barbarous ale again, For none but Vandals persecute the Pen ! Though sonic profane the Muses gift divine, And bow at Avarice or Ambition's shrine; Though some illiberal Satire's pen employ, And mingle hemlock in the cup of joy; Pierce the recessa of domestic life, Expose the flusband or defame the Wife; The tale of scandal bring 'to public eye, And in smooth numbers circulate the lie— . The Muse's nobler office is to prove The bond of Friendship, 91 the lamp of Love; To harmonise the passions of the Mind, To please, instruct, and meliorate Alankind. By her the selfish feelings are suppresed, And social virtues kindle in the breast; She points to Nature's wise and generous plait, And shews how strongly Man depends on Man ; "This sacred truth the thatched-roof Peasant owns, And ermin'd Monarchs feel uirn their Thrones ! SONNET ON THE SABBATH MORNING. With silent awe I hail the sacred morn That slowly wakes, while all the fields are still ; A soothing calm on every breeze is borne, A. graver murmur gurgles from the rill, And echo answers softer from the hill, And softer sings the Linnet from the thorn, The Skylark warbles in a tone less shrill Bail, light serene ! hail, sacred Sabbath-morn ! The Rooks float silently, in airy drove, The Sun a placid yellow lustre tlfrows; The (biles, that lately sighed along the grove, have hush'd their downy wings in dread repose ; The hovering rack of clouds forgets to move So smil'd the day, when the first morn arose ! A'OETS'AND POETRY.—It is only through early peculiarties of thought that men become Poets. Of that which they have all their lives been ruminating upon, they have ideas more vivid than other people; and by giving those ideas, with all the force of language they can, they write poetry. This is true of more than poets professed... Old Isaac Walton, the sole employment of whose life was angling, has without knowing it written a poetical pastoral more natural than Sitenstone or Cunnin g h a i n u , n i d n e o r re t ti ll i e m b p e le at t i ha o n f Gesner, and moresineere than Thompson. Nay, some of the ‘ l)3o C k o ti rdi cl a r l I d i l ; e ate P rs ha , rm ' fareorai3lt'besititTee especially under or imagining, and minutely describing, the effects of these " distilments ' upon the nervous system, are as poetical, here and there, as any thing in Dr. Armstrong. If we look over the ex tensive catalogue of English poetry, we shall find it to be a set of oddities versified. The poets area sort of harmonious quizzes, and their poems are tinctured throughout with their particularities of disposition, the ideas arising from the pursuits of life, nay, from the very di seases o f t h e writers. The.re is no se lection of subject ; what they felt keenly and Saw strongly, they made poetry of. A sharp physiologist might trace out the constitution, profession, and usual residence of a raw, from his works only. Lord 13yron, who has travelled, tells about gon dolas, mantillas, combolios, gazelle eyes, mosques, and latticed windows. The head of Mr. Wordsworth, who lives amongst lakes and mountains,lls filled with rocks, &title, leech-gatherers, pedlers, daffixlils, and water-lilies. Air. Crabbe,.whose clerical fimetions have made him familiar with vestries, workhoun and the whole economy of a country palish, in lieu of the 'rocks and rills of Alr. Wordsworth, has extracted poetry out of the stony hearts Of - churchwardens, and the scanty stream of parish charity. We have poems about ships and about re- Upon—about steam-engines and hydraulic presses—about hunting, shooting, and fishing—about war and waltzing— about astronomy and gastronnnire—about bees and silk-worms --and tiphilis and spleen, and diseases in general—ahout playa ing at whist and at chess, and smoking tobacco, „andsnaking sugar-wine and c id er , an d li quid blacking. In tact, there is scarcely any human purault that has not b een , di rect l y or in directly, introducedinto poetry ; and the obliquities and ex cellences of the human mind have each had about an equal share of imparting interest to its pages.

DREA DFUL CATASTROPII E.—On Thursday week, while twelve men and five boys were at work in a coal-pit, at Bryncoed Colliery, near Mold, belonging to PETCtt Wu LEY, Esq., one side of the pit was forced in by an immas body of water, proceeding from an o ld a dj acent pit, which had been do ne working. So sudden and unexpected was the entrance of the water, and such its quantity, that before they could make known their perilous condition to the pier sons at the mouth of the pit, the water had risen to a height Which rendered them incapable of keeping their feet, and they were *almost instantly floating on the liquid element.— Six men, out of the seventeen individuals, however, Sw... ttetled in catching hold of the rope attached .to, the machi ne at the pit' s mou th , and were safely drawn up, while the re maining eleven--six men and live boys, distressing to relate, were left to their unhappy fate, and all perished in a watery grave! lit:fore any rescue, or the slightest relief could be, itt%. tbrded to them, the siNnee of death had succeeded to their piteous and heart-rending Shrieks for assistance. Three horses were also drowned on the melancholy occasion. To of d the red- tai of this p a i n f u l hi story we have to append a tale eeply interesting affliction with which it is connected ; and when the facts are laid before the public, we cannot doubt but the Zoud call of distress will be met on the part of benevolent wealth with effective succour.

RESURRECTION' MEN. ---011 the afternoon el Monday, a mo t h er was f ollowed to the grave, at South Weal,T, in this county, by eight sorrowing children; and in urns, with the general dread of these monsters, the eldest son, cc. companied by another lad, sat up to guard the Sacred re.. maim of his parent. !laving retired at about two o'clock, to the Church-porch to take some refreshment, they .wen- presently alarmed by falling earth sounding upon an anin coffin, and o n proceeding softly to th e pl ace, t h ey foutul . body, laying upon the grais, and two men em pl oyed in fiti _ up he grave. Th e l a d s had got within three or tour . yares of them, without being p erce i ve d , and levelling their win, they both struck down at once, but neither of which w off. The monsters, thus alarm el, made a precipitate retrc.m, leaving behind them a spade, 2 screws, a quantity of ropes, great coats, and one shoe ; and succeeded in making their e...ci:pq. The body disturbed proved to he that of a young girl wh., had been buried about a fortnight, and it is supposed they mistook the grave, as a precaution hail been taken to corer thatof the woman with graits-sod. After having apprised Arcii.. deacon Wollaston of the circunistance,the body was again pia in the ground about two hours after it had been disturi'ita. Since writing the above, we learn that a second visit *as wade by three men, with a horse and cart, who came b etw e en and twelve o n T ues d ay n i ght, and waited near the Chur. , - yard until three o'clock; but perceiving ring that it was still wßteltrti, they at length went off without making any attempt.—.(o4.*:,.. ford Chronicle.)
