who tees killed in the htst engagement. He is a
Ind of only i years of age, and a most interest-
ing appearance..--He has therefore been separatsd
from his associates.

Colonel Count Von Oheredorf arrived early in
the morning of the 25th at Scharnitz. After •
fruitless cannonade of that pass for half an hour, he
stormed it with 'the regiment of Jagers, supported
by three companies of the 3d battalion of the Ist
regiment of foot. ' That important post was carried
in less than half au hour. We lost a sub-officer
killed, and two officers, with several soldiers, wound-
ed. It is reported that the insurgents in their re-
treat set lire to the houses in Scharnitz.

make. We expect the official details of this event.
LAYBACII. OCT. 18.

Several of the inhabitants of Gottscher and Meet-
ling lately committed some outrages upon the Ita-
lian soldiers quartered there. The greater part of
the inhabitants had no share in those excesses,
though the rioters maltreated those who refused to
join them, and even burnt the houses of some of
them. A proclamation by the Bishop of Laybach, •
detachment of troops, end, above all, the happy
tidings of peace, speedily suppressed those seeds
of discord. The inhabitants of Gottscher are •
soli of savages, who speak a dialect unintelligible
to their neighbours, and who are considered Ity the
existing Government. as a very refractory set of
people. j3oth parishes have been disarmed.—The
Nobility, possessing estates .in that disteict, have
been directed to assemble at Laybach. Good or.
der is completely re-establilhed, ■nd the aanle of
this country rejoice' in its good fortune in being
placed under the protection of the French empire.

LAN' INTELLIGENCE.

CJUIET OF KING'S BENCH, WasTagisrme,NoT. 13.

The Grand Jury of the county of Middlesex
were this day sworn in as usual.
Mr. Justice (hose, in a ♦ery eloquent charge,
adverting to the present disturbances at Covent-
Garden Theatre, observed, that having, so deposi-
tions before him, ner any particular information, he
could only speak to the law on this head generally.
Any assault or riot, tending to the destruction of
the property of an individaul, was undoubtedly a
misdemeanour, an that of the highest nature.—
It was also a breach of that good order, by which
the bonds of society were held together, and for the
sake of which mankind associated, and entered
themselves into ties of social' intercourse. That,
from the description of those persons said to he
concerned, no doubt the perpetrators were actuated
by the worst of views; hut as lie was unacquainted
with soy of the circumstances, except from repos,,
he left it to their cosi,itler..tioti, soil trusted they
would act, in any cases that came beiore them,
with their usual judgment end cluscrettou.

But for the presence of His Nlajesty's skips in

tain West, with the companies of those ships, af-
forded the Spaniards, both on shore and by this tire
front them, there is every reason to'believe the cita-
del of Hoses and castle of the Trinity would both
leave fallen ; they were ill provided with every
thing necessary to a siege ; the works of the citadel
in had repair, and the garrison not sufficiently nu-
merous for the duties of its defence.
Captain West's ability, and the valour and per-
severance of his officers and into, removed as

MISS SMITH.

This Lady hal been performing at Bristol. where
a critic spraltia of her in the following terms:-
-

" When Miss Smith presents herself um; the stage, grc alt
prepogsession is instantaneously felt : marked and sh %kingly

even that piercing fixedness of look, and that quirk turn cf
the eye, prattler to the Kemble This is a copy
which nature has draws, for it cannot be pretended that the
expression of the eye can be mimicked like a start or a put-
lure. The voice is somewhat sis itar ; but it is less holtoe :
its flew and fall have more of softness, sad melody; together
with that marked distinctness of ennociation, it possesw s
COMpOSS. MUM transitlgnu and dire, sity of lone.
" There is, perhaps, sonsethim.: in she outline of her acting
which t moulds us of tlieSiddonisu school but her attitud,•
are not those of Mrs. Siddons : they resemble rather the se
of Madame Catalan'. The making resemblance Lr
lion is a commln error in the ind;ramit of composition, sod
the actor, no less than the poet, may be wronged by tle.llllA-
picion of plagiarism. There is nothing of trick, nothing of
mintickry, in the acting of Miss Smith; she evideutly acts
from the fore.: of warm conception, nod her manlier, let it
resemble shot it may, is a timsmer of her own. T• ',pre-
sent her as a copy, were to &manse, that suleeptire feeling
and a flexible fancy can ha imitated liLe the fold of • robe,
or the bend of a realism.
" Not only is she ilistinguiehed from arra Siiidoms by the

ter could sever *mouse. Scenes of awful severity, and im-

scenes in Beltirfem are, indeed, managed with admirable art,
but it is art *standing we tremble at the Hash of her
eye in C•attart,,, bao is Juliet her (Mime could never melt us

After spmk•n., in the highest terms of the dal er-
ent parts Miss Smith performed, the Critic gives
the fanning account of her reciting Collins's Od•
on the Pesvions:

" Miss South has struck ont a new path The idea of
first reciting the passim, and then acting at in dumb sbew,
to the inspiring synods of appropriate music is beautiAilly
classical —The effect was enchaoliag ; was elictrical. The
execution was equally brilliant and original with the concep-
tion. The variations of took, attitude and gestare, would
firm the finest study fire the painter and the statuary."

SEVILLE, OCT. 5.09.
On the I4th inst. the enemy concentrated all his
. forces in Toledo ; the Spanish division of Estretna-
dura has its head-quarters at Deleytosa ; those of
Marshal Beresford, are at Castel Branco. The
English army, which occupies the positions of
Moutijo, Putbla,Talavera, and Badajos, is daily
reinforced by troops which arrive from Portugal.
The divisions of Ney and Mortier have joined in
the neighbourhood of Plusencia.--(Diary.)
On the 14th, the generale was beaten, at Olot,
for the march of ull the troops, which was effected
by the Provincial Grenadiers, the Swiss, and the
regiment of Ferdinand the 7th, proceeding to
St. relit', and Cas Planes, to join the regiment of
America and the cavalry of Grenada ; and on the
13th, General Blake, with the other Generals, and
all the troops, even the convalescents, marched
from Vich. All these movements and preparations,
which indicate it general attack, ought to flatter us
with the hope of the complete defeat of the enemy
in that principality, which intelligence may be ex-
pected every moment.—(ldeas.)
Au English squadron. of more than twenty sail,
is in sight off Barcelona ; it is supposed to he des-
tined for the blockade of Toulon. It seems that
an insurrection lately took place at Rome ; the re-
sult of which was the assassination of the French,
and three Cardinals.—(/dent.)

They write, under date of the 14th inst. from
the vicinity of Gerona, that, at midnight of the
13th, a bri.k firing was heard from that place,
which lasted three quarters of an hoar. On the
14th, in the morning, some shots were hemd from
the side of tirtniala, and afterwards from bvtween
Ilrunola and Santa Coloma. It appears, that the
savage besiegers have withdrawn their heavy artillery,
and have confined their operations against that
place to a strict hlockade.--(Governstent Gazette,
0rt:.3,1.)

Oa the 19th inst, our army of Catalonia re-
mained in the mine positions.—(Seville Spectator.)
