The Gentleman in question
reported adlion en the Vistula until his arrival in
London ; the general opinion in France, at the time
of his departnre, was, that the situation of the army
in Poland was embarrassing. and that all the good
fortune and genius of BON AAAAA e would be re-
quisite to extricate it.

We have received some German Papers of a late
date, by vessels arrived on Saturday in the river,
from the Baltic. The Bamberg 'Paper mentions
the receipt of advice' from Warsaw, to the 2(ith
of December, at which period two smart ations had
been fought between the French and Russians, the
first at Nawamaisto, in which about 120 Cossacks
were made prisoners ; the other at Cicchanca, which
appears to hare been warmly contested, but in
which the french are also stated to have prevailed.
The Bamberg Editor, on the authority of a letter
from Augsburg, states Breslaw to have capitulated,
but the dare and particulars are not mentioned.

The account so generally circulated, far the last
two days, of the defeat of the Russians by the
French, in a general anion, which obtained so much
credit, is now generally exploded.

%Ve have received Letters and Papers from Hali-
fax, to the Ike December. Sii RICHARD STRACHAN,
was to sail on the following day, in the Cesar, with
the repass frigate, for the Chesapeak. to watch the
remains of the French squadron there, hut expeElcd
to return shortly to England. lie w•. to take with
him a nephew of Mr. GRATTAN. a Lieutenant in
the 2!lth Regiment, who had the mis'nrtune to
fralture his skull. It is generally understood, at
Ealifax, that the angi y spirit against England,
which lately prevailed in America, was excited and
fomented by I.l.dted Irish attd discontented English-
men, now resident in that country.

The Third Report of the Commissioners of Mi.
litary Inquiry has been published. It will he fcund
of considerable importance. We give the first part
this day, and shall conclude it to-morrow.

The Kind has been pleased to, app-iii)t Ateca

the Court of Stockholm.
The Kr NO has also been pleased to appoint Wrt-
clan WALLESL EY POLE, Esq. to be His M

In the event of the death of the Archbishop cf.
Yoar‘, it is ;enerally supposed, that the Primate of
Ireland (the Hon. Dr. S rualT) will be translated
from Armagh to the Primacy of York.
The Casette of Saturday night contains two Pro.'
clamations by His MAJESTY; 'he first commandirg
the 9,5 th of Febtuary to be observed as a public
day of fasting and humiliation, throughout Eng-
land and Ireland; and the second commanding the
6th of February to be observed, with like cere-
mony, in Scetland.
The following is the only article in the Scotch
Papers, to the 14th, which we received on Saturday,
relative to the French vessel which lately went
ashore at one of the Orkneys :
EictrAft of a Letter front a Gentleman in Thurso, to hi. friend
in Glasgow, dated Jas. 3, $507.
" Thursday, the 25th ult. was the most awful day
ever remembered here, and fatal to many ; the da-
mage done all over this country is immense. We
are now seriously concorned about 7`.1 French who
landed in the Island of Flat.., Orkneys, very near
us. Town and country Volunteers were mustered,
and, with their Commanders, went over in smacks,
on Thursday evening. No ward from er of them,
has been heard since, though this is the third day
since they embarked, which excites unpleasant feel-
ings."
Friday morning, a Gentleman, belonging to
the Stock Exchange, was bit by a mad dog in the
leg, in Cornhill, and in as short a time alter as pos-
sible underwent amputation. Two mad dogs were
thstroyed on Thursday in are Borough. About '..!0
d(.gs, chained r,t--ther, all of whom had been bitten,
were tw:aignt down Cr4veu-street yesterday, and
drowned in the l'hame3. *The following notice has
been, in' onsequence of these alarming appearances,
pasted up in the most public parts of the city :

The Dividends now payable at the Rank, to the
amoant of several millions, come very cpportunely
for an adventure in the present depending great
Lottery Scheme: and erpecially so for the Second
Da:.'s Drawing, on Tnrirschiv next. Indeed, it
has been a custom, ttra^ itc ri:morial, with receivers
of dividends, to embark a small portion of them in
any pending LA:cry, and by whiell many of them
have effected a large increase of their Capitals in
the Stocks : let such retita, that arnraig numerous
other great Prizes, there are two 1.,1 en less magni-
tude than 30,0001. each, that now stand a; issue. of
which even but a•ii;.cteenth Share (et the trifling
risk of IS.. only) can produce neatly Iwo Ihup-
sand Poun Is.

Among the new invent;ons of the day, in the ma-
nufallure nl carriages, is the new Patent Safety
Coach. The great advantage which it possesses
over all vehicles of its class, con•tsts in the iiirroduc-
tinn of secondary wheels. They are placed inside,
and are alcays ready, in case of any accident or.
curring to the primary wheels, by wLich we mean
the wheels in aflual use. The diameter of these
secondary, or reversionary-wheels, is not more than a
font, and they are let d -iwn, within six inches of the
ground. The hinder axle•-tree passes through ti.e
centre of the iuggage-boat. By this manage:ne^•,
much space And accommodation are gained, aiLl I.
•
outside passengors are not elevated ::hove
fr•m the ground. This improvcru,nt appeal, •
have been suggested by the crlebtated
TROCHE.
