ground, and retreated fightioethree leagues. The
battle was renewed nut day. and they were pur-
sued several leagues farther. This is little less Yi
than an admission that there was much and severe
fighting, With unions success, but the remainder
of the Bulletin removes all doubt. The loss of the 4
French Is stated at iio killed, including Gea. Car.
pica, and ::Oil wounded, including two Colonels.
The loss of tie Russians is stated at 1500 killed, and
121/0 wounded; but in this number we do nut find rr
the name of one officer. The l)elletin commences
with announcing that the right of the Grand Army
under SA/ream has thus been as victorious at Ostro ri
enka as its senate and left had been at TZyttu ; and
concludes with stating, that the Carpet or has or.
dered it into witaer quarters ; that the thaw is
frig:aid ; that the season does not permit the doing
anythlng great, that it it tint of repose." This is
not the language in which the Frenei are used to
promulgate their viEfories. With them it i; the
language of disappointment and defeat. But if
there be any obscurity in the French account
of their operations, if any doub: flings over
their boasted successes, Toe Aron would afford the
but comment and elucidation. That Paper, which
may be considered as de.ni-ollIcia: authority, in its
Nurrilser of the 7th instant, speaks of the present
campaign as merely preparatory to the next, should
Russia persevere in the war; it states that the
French army; by reaching the banks of the Vistula, ii
sorpassed even the most sanguine expeOations ; that
it was the Wm of BONAIPAII r a to draw a deli:lime
line from Warsaw to Kouinpberg, winch he has
partly realised ; that he stopped the Russians

from proceeding with their right to disengage

ture and the fine a, ts, will learn with infinite regret,
that Hafod, in Cardiganshire, the seat of Taloa AS
Jossts. Esq. Member for the county, was destroy-
ed by fire, on Frid.v last. We have not yet been
able to learn the calm tsf this melancholy accident,
or whether any part of the valuable Library, Pic-
tures, &c. which this elegant and classical mansion
contained, was preserved from the flames. We
hem the ',etiolation of stating that no lives were
lost. Mr. Jousts himself, we understand, was in
own, attending his Parliamentary duty ; Mrs. and
Mias Junior. were at home, and very happily Mr.
Hawes/Iry WILLI•Mi. Mr. Jurists's brother-in-
lay:. was en a visit in the house. The family, un-
der his protection, removed to the Hafod Arms, at
the Devil's-Bridge, whither every thing that could
he saved was conveyed.
All P iris has been greatly alarmed by an accident
which happened to Mademoiselle Melte. at the first
repiesentairon of the new Ballet of Ulyrws, at the '
lniperial Academy offitu.ic. Mademoiselle Atincll
played the part of Minerva, and, at the moment
when slw comes to preside at the union of Mawr
and the chaste Pefukee, !from some want of concert
in the machinery, she was precipitated upon the
stage from the cl mid in which she was descending.
The audience thought she was killed. She has,
however, only suffered a severe fracture. and some
contmiaus, and her life is not considered in danger.
Mademoiselle Aces? is, in feature anal pers•in, one
of the Guest and most lovely women in Paris.
