Men worthy of credit, who hare been witnesses of the eoncluet of the Russians and Prussians, and who are very numerous in this capital;' -Whither they have 'come to find an asylum, confirnrthe-trath of these reports. They unanimously assert, that the sol diers, and even the enemy's chiefs, boast of enter ing Paris without resistance; of pillaging the city; of chasing from among the inhabitants labourers, artizans, artists, and young women, to be sent to Russia ; of driving out the rest of the population, and afterwards to set fire to the houses. It is Chiefly the Russians who display the greatest in veteracy in these projects of destruction. As they want money, clothes, and provisions, and ais they have extensive deserts to people, they would gain the height of their wishos,._ were they to deprive us of-all our moveable stealth, and reduce to sla very the industrious part of our population.' They, would transport our workmen into bleak Russia, where they would make them labour for their pro fit, until the knout, Aiseate, cold, or hunger, put 'an end-to their existence. 7.—Baron Lhni Ge -ding-the l Ith Mill u•at. the Hotel de • These projects ought 'to surpriseus little on the part of the Russians, who are in general strangers to every idea of civilization, and every sentiment of humanity. The horrible excesses 'which" they have committed most certainly are not the first of which they have been guilty. Their conduct at Warsaw, on the second revo- Intion of Poland, sufficiently proves of what they are capable. Eighty thousand human beings were put to death in cold blood by these Tartars. The Vistula was encumbered wifh dead bodies, and the flames consumed the suburbs of Riga: No thing waA respected, neither churches, nor houses of charity, nor hospitals.' They had reserved the women and girls to serve them as slaves, but in t fit of fury they put them to death'. In fine, there is no sore-of crime with which they are not stain •d, and no language is sufficiently strong to paint their atrocity. Such are the eriemies who Wish to come to Paris, and who of entering it as if it were a village. The English division anchored: in the great 'caul - of Rochelle was composed, at the (late of the Sd of this month, of five ships and four sloops. Copy.,of- 4.

R - NT /I ITT, " London, Feb. 18, 1814, • " having fallen to ,my lot, in the course of 'my journey on the Continent, 41 the, discharge of Official duties, to be au eye-witness of the sufferings of the people. in Germany, and more especially of the various and aggravated miseries inflicted on the inhabitants of those dis tricts which have been the seat of war during the last memorable campaign, I felt so convinced that their unhappy situatio❑ would call forth the be nevolent assistance orthe British Nation, that had , determined, immediately on my 'return to F.ngland, to submit a plan, in most respectssimi lar to that• which has been already so promptly adopted, with a view to the relief of these suffer ings. Finding myself, however, anticipated lin this object, by the generous feelings of the Cdrn-. mittee tb which you belong, I cannot, neverthe—' less, refrain from expresiing my.conviction, that among' the numerous occasions upon which the consoling aid of the people of• England has been directed to the ;melioration of human calamity, there never was ~an instance which carried with it stronger claims to universal comnaisera tion and individual assistance, than the present state of Germany ; in which country the enemy has carried on a system of warfare unparalleled in the 'history of the civilised world. It IS too well known how, many provinces have been laid waste by this warfare, and the nature of their sufferings, have been already tOo amply described by various anthtiltic communications" from the seat of war, to render it necessary for me to trespass' upon you with details : thrJughout the whole of .tke coun try which has been occupied. by the armies of France, either as conquerors or as allies, •their progrets.bas been alike Marked by a general-de- • struction and devastation. . 1 - - let:n:e territories of Pritssia, in great part of Silesia, in Lusatia; in Saxony,. and from the Elbe to the Rhine, many . towns,- and hundreds of vil lages, have been utterly destroyed, and ,their in habitants bereft of' every ineans'pf support. \Vbeie desolation and Pillage have been so general., it wodhl he difficult to select instances where the miseries of I.var have not been 'felt in the utmost degree of severity. 00 account of themagnitudeof their losses, however, and the probable (Lunation of their sufferings, uuless prompt and effectual aid be afforded, the Peasaufry of, Germany appear to be peculiarly deserving of-our-earliest attention. In . the immediate vicinity of those memorable spots where the arm;es, of the Ruler- of France have been successfully combated, as well as in the whole line of his retreat from theKatzbach to the Rhine, the dwellings of the pekCiantry have been almost without 'exception reduced 'to ruins, in niftily instances under the eye of Buonaparte; and their corn and cattle entirely wrested nom them or wantonly destroyesl: the inevitable conse quences of these outrages were, to consign the unhappy sufferers-to the horrors of famine in the woods, whither they fled for temporary shelter; . or to deprive the survivors of every resourr:e for pres'ent subsistence, or for the-progressive repara tion of losses. In closing this letter, I must add, that bav ing•instituted in Germany some inquiries respect ing the nature of the distresses of the people in the provinces whivh have been the immediate seat of war, particularly in Silesia, I. have, since my arrival in England', received a communication,up on the subject from a personage bottling a high sititation in the Government of Berlin ; this com munication, with further details which I expect from the same .quarter very shortly, I shall be happy, and think it my duty, to lay tefore you, for the information of the subscribers." SCOTLAND. DUNDEE, MARCH 11.-The wonderful pheno mena of the late'and Present storms will never be all recorded. The following specimen of the power of frosthas sea rcely been surpassed by anything Unit happened dining the celebrated retreat of the French from Moscow. In the neighbourhood of Glammis, while the cold Was most intense, a gentleman found a piece of solid ice in the heart of his break fast-egg, whiCh, having been boiled in his own pre sence, and opened by himself, excludes the possi bility of deeeption•being practised. The gentleman however candidly admits that the egg was not boiled for a great length_ of time—probably not, longer than two minutes and a half.—Of another very singular appearance, ourselves had ocular evidence on - Tuesday tri6rning. - A weighty mass of snow, in the act of falling fiom the roof of the Stoeple„Church, had been arrested by a sudden change of temperature, and, presented to thy eye the figure of an immense cornice, projecting about eighteen -inches beyond the slates of the building. . - About eleven o'clock in the evening of Monday last, a quariel took Otte on the streets of Irvine, Scotland, between some. of the inhabitants of that town, principally sailors, and some of the soldiers belonging to a detachment of the `;',7th Regiment of Foot, quartered there, which unfortunatelyend ing in blows, and the latter finding themselves very roughly handled, it is understood one of them ran to his quarters for a loaded gun, and on his return shot Allan Hutton through'the heart with a musket ball, who instantly ,expired Hutton, by trade a weaver, was a strong robust man, and it would appear had been very active in the scuffle, which led to the fatal weapon being pointed at him. He has left a wife and family to lament his loss. John WM...anus, the soldier suspected, was immediately apprehended, and, after a MI investigation into the whole of the affair, by the Sheriff-Substitute and Proeuratbr- Fiscal of the county, has been committed to pri son to stand trial, charged with the perpetration of the murder: On Tuesday James Meredith. and Mat.
