FRENCH PAPERS.

Paris papers to the Bth inst. have been received in the
course of the week. They bring the accounts from the
armies down to the 9.9!1) ult. when the Fr( 'Kb head-quaff te.s
were beyond Leignitz, twenty-one miles from Breslau, in
Silesia, upon which the Allits had retired. A column had
marched towards (logau, and after relieving that fortress, was
to cross the Oder, and penetrate into Poland, where the enemy
expected soon to have an army cf partisans. Another under
OUDINOT bad retraced its steps towards Berlin, and it is
exultingly stated, the enthusiasm of the people had once
more sunk into desponding passiveness. The Polish corps
under PONIATOWSKI, bad been permitted by Austria to
pass through her territory to rejoin the French ; it is said
to consist of 5,000 cavalry, and 6,000 infantry. Should this
prove true, Austria could no longer pretend to act as. an
impartial mediator between the Belligerents, for she would
have committed a flagrant breach of neutrality in favour
of France. It is, perhaps, this conduct on her part, as well as
the apparent impossibility of preventing the French from
re-entering Poland, and the apprehension that the Poles
will rise again to assert their independence, (in which case
the allies, in their present position, would find themselves
completely surrounded,) that have induced them to send
Count SHUVALOFF and Geucial KL EIST to the
French posts to negociate an armistice. This is French
news, it is true, but from what we have learnt of the dispo-
sition of the Emperor ALEXANDER, since the death of
KUTUSOW, who alone gave life and firmness to his counclis,
we should be disposed to give it some credit. It is well
known, that at the time of BLONAP ART E'S advance to Mos.
cow, negociations for peace were secretly carried uu with

CONFESSION OF NICHOLSON.

We arc happy to relieve the public mind from its doubts and
anxiety, with respect to the perpetrator of the atrocioirs mordersat
Chislehurst, by stating; that Nicholsoo, the suspecied person, luurat
length confelsed his guilt. We learn, that on Monday, in conse-
quence of the numerous visitors (among whom Nvere Cord Cast'e-
reag-h, Lord Camden, and Lord Robert Seymour), wh went to
contemplate the supposed murderer, lie slicwed repeated I.,ymptorus
of annoyance and agitation : this circumstance, together with the
attempt to make him look more clean/y, caused his wound s\itidenly
to bleed afresh. This happened about seven o'clock in the c‘•rning.
The hemorrhage being of an alarming nature, an express was ;imme-
diately dispatched for Mr. A. Cooper. Ile arrived at about e. ',even
o'clock: Mr. liramston, the priest, came about the same time with
Mr. Bonar. The wound was dressed, and nothing tinther

took place. Yesterday morning, at half-past six o'clock, Nich3i ison
voluntarily requested Mr. ltraniston, who nod- bi-ienwith him a 4 iat
time, to bring Mr. Bonar to Itim immediately: _ Mr. Ronal. A
to him, when Nicholson burst into- tears, mid begging pardon of j .Ir.
Bonar, expressed his wish to make a full confession. Mr. We !1%.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

• Major Nicholls, of the Marines, on the 4th of Arrii, sitting on his
horse before the dour of Sir John Douglas, at Blackheath, so com-
pletely occupied the footway, that a farmer, named *Uyler, having
two ladies with biro, was obstructed passing, and desired the Major
to rein back his horse : this the latter refused, and an altercation
mined, when :he Major, after using words neither becoming the
officer nor the gentleman, knocked Tyler down ; fur this otience, a
vei diet, with 1001. damages and costs, went against the Major on
Wednesday, in the Court of King's Bench.
In the same Court Thursday, an action was brought by Matthews,
driver of the Liverpool stage coach, against the West Mid(lle.:ex
Waterworks Company, to recover damages for injuries sustained by
the overturning of his stage, in consequence of the negligent con-
duct of the defendants' servants in throwing up, and carelessly
leaving mounds of earth, heaps of stones, &e. in Tottenham Court-
road ; which hijuries are of so serious a nature as to render Mat-
thews a cripple for life. The damages were laid at 61.,91. but the
Jury returned a verdict thrfive hundred guineas.

ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMELIT.
LT OYD U. DEERING.
Mr. Park stated that +he Plaintiff in this case was Mary Ann Lloyd,
a young woman tinder 21 ye-rs of age, who sued by her mother, her
nearest of kin, and the defendant was a gentleman or considerable
fortune, in who'se family she had lived servant, and she now sought to
recover a comt.ensation in damages for one of the most cruel and un-
provoked injuries that herd ever come under the consideration ail Jury,
in the shape of au .action for Nse,imprisonment. The plaintiff hid
Enid her damages at five hundred pounds. It appeared that this young
woman had been lady's maid to Mrs. Deering, in September last; at
which time the assault complained of was committed. On the 28th of
September the plaintiff was charged by her mistress with having par-
- batted a table-cloth and pencil-case. The table-cloth, it however ap-
peared,' was in an open trunk: belonging to the ptaititik which was
standing in the housekeeper's room, and from the evidence it would he
seen, there had been nu intention on the part of the plaintiff to steal it;
notwithstanding this, the plaintiff was by her master and mistress given
iu charge to a black RIM servant, who was charged to keep watch

• •COVENT GARDEN.
It was our intention to have given a detailed critique on Mr. C
.KEMBLE'S performance of Musbeth last Friday, when Mrs. Sill-
DONS re appeared as Ludy Macbeth, but want of room compels us
to delay it till our next. ‘Ve shall, at present, only state, that he
rose in several passages to originality and superior eminence ;
and that time, which levels palaces, and sweeps away nations,
seems'poWerless against the great elpomene, whose talents con-
tinue to Shine in the Intl bloom of excellence. At the end of the
play, a shower of bills descended- from the galleries into the pit,
others were spread out along the sides of the boxes with inscrip- -
lions in • large letters, demanding the " Re-call •of Mrs.
Sinnoss to the Stage :" the " Restoration of the legitimate
Drama." 'nese were received with many cries of bravo, much
applause, and some hissing. NVe we're sorry that the ad-
mirers of Mrs. SinnoNs, (and who is not ? ) who wish her to re-
sume her ancient place on the stage (and who does not ?) should
have hail recourse to such an expedient. It looked too much like
a stage trick, and con d not fail to be attributed to Mrs. SinnoNs
herself, who, we are convinced has too much sense to countenance
such a proceeding. S..e has lately felt the public putse twice, and
•has had occasion to be satisfied that it will be a welcome for her
whenever she openly chores to appear. Let not the injudicious inr-
patience_olker fiends, therefore, lower her in the general estimation.

COVENT GARDEN TEI

Mrs. Jo RD AN commenced her engagement on Wednesday
last, in the character of the Widow Cheer& in " The
Sol-
dicr's Daughter." She displayed all her wonted vivacity and
spit it, but we must defer our remarks on her performance
till our next.
On Monday a Miss DOUGL AS made her de-but at this Thea-
tre in the character of Alicia in the tragedy of " Jane Shore."
Her performance was marked by strong feeling and very con-
siderable powers, but she wanted elepnce, and did not suf-
ficiently interest the spectator. A new pet former (particu-
larly a female) is generally seen to a disadvantage on the first
night, we shall therefore abstain from further remarks till we
have had an opportunity of seeing her again. After the tra-
gedy, the burletta of " Poor Vulcan" was revived.' It is got
up with great splendour, is admirably cast, and went off with
great eclat.

,REVIEW OF LITERATURE.

ROKEBY.—By WALTER SCOTT, ESQ.
(Continued from Jan. 31.)
From the preceding exposition of the fable of ibis Poem,
it may be judged, that it is intricate without being strikingly
interesting. This opinion will be confirmed and strength-
ened by the perusal of the work itself. In an analysis, in-
cidents and events are brought together, which, in the origi-
nal, are severed by long and tedious digressions. This is par-
cularly the ease in Robby. The story, but slightly opened
in the first book, is carried on in a loose and undefined man.
ner through the three succeeding ones, whilst in the fifth
and sixth it grows so hurried as to be obscure and perplexed.
In conduct, therefore, the poem of Rokeby is more defi-
cient than any of Mr. SCOTT'S former productions, with the
exception perhaps of Don Roderic, the conclusion of which
has no connexion whatever with the beginning. The fable
of Rokeby is not only ill conducted, but it presents little
novelty, and no striking events such as those with which
Marmion teems. Let the mind of the reader revert to that
poem, much and unjustly criticised at the time of its ap-
pearance, and a crowd of beautiful passages and situations
immediately present themselves. The trial of CONSTANCE,
her eloquent defence, and burial alive in the subterraneous
chamber where nought was heard save the dull sound of the
neighbouring sea, piercing through the mass of earth; the
mysterious PALMER, and his secret encounter, as the spirit-
knight, with MARMION ; the splendid description of the
Scottish camp, of the gallant Monarch and his court ; MA R-
MION'S parting interview with DOUGLAS ; and above all the
last battle and his death,form excellencies which even the more
uniform beauties of the Lady of Me Lake have not surpassed,
and which, as the creations of a superior genius, remain
stamped on the heart and mind of every admirer of true poetry.
Rokeby displays none of those transcendent beauties which live
transplanted in our memory. It contains many well written
passages and petty descriptions, but these do not in general
extend to more than eight or ten lines, and like those fre-

SUNDAY, AUGUST 19, 1813.

He will allow no one but himself to have any share in
their ruin, which he would disregard, were it pre-
ceded by the downfall and subjection of every surrounding
state. In piapnrtion as he is attached to his own r,reathess,
do his terrors of invasion, and his efforts to avert. it, en- •
crease. He is conscious, that besides the reduction of force
which the occupation of part of his* territory by an hostile
army wonid occasion, he would also he exposed to the danger
of seeing the strength of his enemies augmented, out of
the very
.sources from whence he derived his own. He
knows that' his subjects have borne too long the weight
of his oppression, not to be disgusted with his yoke, and the
incessant sacrifices of men and treasure they have been com-
pelled to make. He therefore does. not place much con-
fidence on their fidelity. however he may 'proclaiM the con-.
trary to the world. Were any part of France entered, and
its population offered, either to maintain his cause and bear
all the evils of conquest, or to join the :Iv, niers and be re-
lieved from every burden and injury, he apprehends they
would not hesitate. He therefore wishes to,epare them, the
temptation, and strains everysnerve to repel hostilicjet „from
the soil of France, well aware that when the seat is re-
moved, the disposition of the people, whatever it may have
been at the approach of invaders, 'will once more subsi.,le
into the quietude of hopeless sufferlng and desponding.
obedience. These are the reasons which have impelled him
to make such extraordinary efforts On his south-western film.
tiers. "But where could he find men and artillery to supply
his losses?" This question can only be made in a- land. where
the effects of arbitrary despoti m are fortunately miknoWns
Since the conquest and 'new organization, of Germany, the
French armies have been filled up with more fificign recio4a,
than native conscripts. A certain proportion of the laVet
were raised annually, and formed the 'kernel of Napole;m's
force, but the rest were furnished by his. Allies. Thus out
of the 50,000 men whom he led last y*ar, *against Rtisia,
not 200,000 were French. Whilst the pc:pill-Mien of the
rest of Europe was destroyed to aggraodize TAT. tyrant,

FRENCH PAPERS.

Friday were received Paris Papers to the 16th instant;
(Monday).—Respecting the Armistice, the I\toniteur states,
under the head Dresden, August 7, that the troops were
preparing to celebrate BUONAPARTE'S birth-day on the
10th of August, as it was uncertain whether hostilities would
not be renewed before the 15th. From this announcement,
we should be led to believe that no hopes remain of peace ;
it is, however, stated in an article from Frankfort, on the
reported authority of letters from Vienna, that the Armistice
had been further prolonged to the Ist of September. It is
sometimes the practice of the French Government, first, to
announce facts of great importance in this obscure way;
whether they have done so on the present occasion or not, it
is impossible to conjecture. BUONAP A RTE arrived at
Dresden on the 4th ; and on the sth and 6th did not go out,
but was closely occupied with his chief Officers, in military
details. With regard to the Congress, it is admitted, " that
every thing is at present confined to the exchanging of
notes." The Emperor of Austria again visited Prague on
the 30th ult. Marie Louise returned to Paris on the 6th
instant. These Papers give no intelligence from Soult,
nor any notice whatever -of the battles of the Pyrenees.
There are two dispatches from Gen. REY, the Governor
of St. Sebastian's, dated the 26th and 27th ult. the former
referring to the details of our unsuccessful assault, and the
latter stating a sortie made by the garrison on the 27th,
when it is stated that the trenches were surprised, and all
who were in them destroyed, or taken prisoners, amounting
to 1200 men. This sortie is believed to be the same affair,
in which, according to private letters from Sebastian, 200
Portuguese only were captured. Gen. HEY states, that half
the town of St. Sebastian, has been destroyed by our fire,
and the flames were not extinguished on the 27th. " I con-
tinue (he says) to cause the streets of the town to be barri-
caded by traverses, which I reckon upon defending foot by
foot, if at any time I shall be obliged to quit my first line."

RUPTURE OF THE ARMISTICE-RECOMMENCEMENT

OP HOST! LITIES.

It now becomes more important than ever, that the fate of
the Armistice should be known. If renewed, BUON AP ART E
would have time to execute his reported pilgrimage to Spain,
and to detach a considerable force, to relieve that country,
as some of his emissaries represent our -assi-tance, " from
the yoke of heretics." In that case, we should immediately
send still more powerful reinforcements than are now em-
barking, to enable our Commander to meet the shock of the
chosen might of France. A letter received yesterday from
Heligoland, and brought by a private hand, having beeti
written several hours after the mail had been made up, con-
tains the pleasing intelligence that the Allies bad refused to
renew the Armistice, and that on the 12th a slight en-
gagement had taken place between the advanced posts of
the hostile armies. This intelligence, the latter states, was
conveyed by a flag of truce from the continent to the island.
It is even positively asserted that an officer of the Duke of
BRUNSWICK'S corps was the messenger. We give this in-
formation as it has reached us, without pledging ourselves
for its authenticity, although we think it highly probable,
and Urea!, highly advantageous to the common cause.

CAPTURE OF THE ARGUS.

We are happy to annotmcc the capture of the American
sloop of war Argos, Captain ALLEN, by his Majesty's ship
Prlican, Captain M A Pr, tS. A letter from Plymouth (at
which port the Argus is arrived) states, that the action took
place in consequence r:f a challenge sent into Cork by the
Commander of the Argus, gfering to fight any vessel less
than a frigate. The challenge cm promptly accepted by
the Pelican, who carried her antagonist with a celerity
scarcely exceeded by that of the Shannon, in the affair of
the Chesapeake.—As in that action, the affirir was decided,
in the present instance, by boarding. The American
Captain lost both his legs by the- first broadside. The
Fir-t Lieutenant of the Argus, and about twenty
seamen were killed, and a great many were wounded
The Pelican had two killed (Nlr. YOUNG, Master's Mate,
aid a MidshiFtnan',, and ten men wounded. The Pelican
did not ee her prize into port, but returned to Cork. Pre-
vious to her capture, the Argus had taken et vessels,
the who!e of which were deqroyed, except the Betsey, re-
captured by the Leonidas, and a brig, made use of as a car-
tel. One of the vessels captured, was the Redford, of Dublin,
with linens for Newfoundland, valued at 100,0001.
The Irish Editors being Still ignorant that she is taken,
continue to bewail the destruction committed by the Argus
in her cruize along their coast, and blame the insufficiency
of the force assigned for their protection.—Captain ALLEN
died on Wednesday, at • Plymouth, where the Argus was
brought in by the Pelican after the capture.

A Mail from Cottenburgh arrived on Tuesday, bringing
advices from thence to the 7th instant. Through this
channel we hear that General Moreau kid quitted that city,
to proceed to the head quarters of the Crown Ptince.—
A Gentleman who came by the mail. was at the head quarters
of the Emperor Alexander on the 20th of .Ittiv. du, ing the
celebration of Te Drum, fur the victory of Vittoria. The
Russian forces were computed at 120,000. and the Prussian
at 80,000 men ; 40,000 were cavalry, and the whole was
well equipped and abundantly supplied.—Mr. Mveis, the
Messenger, arrived by the mail with disratchei from Lord
Cathcart and Sir C. Stewart. dated the nolh ult. ; who also
states the Allied Armies to he in a fine state of equionient,
and to have been numerously reinforced. It was at that
period uncertain whether or not the Armistice would be
again renewed.
A Russian Gazette Pf the 9th instant notices an art of
cppression exercised by the French upon the Burgomaster at

Frankfort articles in them two clays later than, those which I
mentioned the report of the prolottgation of the Armistice;
but they are totally silent upon the subject. An article
from Prague of the 4th says. 't that nothing bad transpired
relative to the progress of the negociation. The Plenipo.
tentiarles had paid each other visits of ceremony." that is,
the Austrian and French Plenipotentiaries, for we do not
believe there ate any others at Prague. All the Russian and
ws,ian Officers in Bohemia have received orders to join
their respective corns without delay. The King of PRUSSIA
ha: left Berlin for head-quarters, nd it should seem as if the
immediate tesnmption of hostilities were expected. It is
anxiously desired in eve' y part of the North of Germany.
MUR AT has issued a Decree. in which he states that consi-
derwions vf high importance have obliged him to be absent
for a time from his kingdom. He appoints his QUEEN Re•

these papers of the late battles in the Pyrennees.

EtTECTS OF THE LA'I'C BATTLEi.
The anticipations of hope have not been disappoinied.
The Peninsu{a has once more proved the seat •of British
triumphs, and although the contest has been severe and the
attempts of the enemy desperate, flesh -glories have crowned
the bt.ows of our warriors, and added to the lustre, even
of Wellington's name. Yet, however great our advan'
taxes, they were wrenched from such a powerful adversary,
that even in defeat he has not ceased to be formidable, ano
victory im;loses upon us the duty of fresh and encreased ex-
ertions. This may seem contradictory, and it may also ap-
pear astoni,hing that the army beaten at Vittoria should have
so soon repaired its losses and entered the field with such
considerable numbers. The explanation of this problem we
shall endeavour to give.
Of all the evils with which he has afflicted nations, Buo-
naparte feels that invasion is the worst. The scourger knows
which lash will inflict the severest pain, and when he sees it
lifted by a stranger's hand against himself, naturally shrinks
from the blow, and.endeavours by every means in his power,
to avert it. In this situation Napoleon now staads. He
whose whole military career has been a series of -invasions
of neighbouring and distant countries—who began his tre-
mendous race, by desolating the plains of Italy—who, from
the enslaved Tiber, carried both flame and the sword to the
banks of the Nile, and from thence, returning to snatch an
usurped diadem, covered Germany with blood, changed the
fate and condition of her Princes, twice choaked the waters
of the Danube with the noblest Austrian heroes, and in
their conquered capital forced the proudest House in Europe
to form with him a degrading family alliance—He, who in
the bosom of the land consecrated by the triumphs of the
great Frederick, at one blow overthrew the strength of the
Prussian monarchy, fought his. way to the banks of the
Niemen, and in a few months reduced Poland into a vassal—
who next crossed the Pyrenees, and sent his hordes tO plunder
Lisbon and Madrid, and after ravaging, to fall on the banks
of the Tagus, the Douro, the Ebro, and the Alava, beneath
the sword of Britain—lle, who in the wildness of his am-
bition, led half a vassal world in arms, to burn the palaces of
Moscow, and perish amidst the snows of Russia beneath the
spears cf the Cossacks—lle, the ravager of the world,
knows too well the consequences of invasion, not to collect
all his strength to repel it from his territories, when he sees
them threatened with its retributive devastations. He feels
that France owes a heavy debt of blood to surrounding
nation 7, and fears the awful hour of .payment is come. Yet
sympathy for his -people hears no sway over his con-
duct. He arms in their defence, because they form the
props of his power, which their sufieriags would impair.

FROM THE BERLIN PAPER OF OCTOBER 9.

" In continuation of the progress made by the army in Inner Aus-
tria, the following has been made public by the Commander Gene-
ral in Chief, Baron HILLER :
"On the 19th, the enemy was driven back at all points to the
passage over the Drave? and in such manner that, by the possession
of Manten and liermager, he was threatened in his rear, and fell
back to Tarvi• and Villielt ; the greater part of the circle, and part
of that of Laybach, as far as Kraitburg, is in our hands.
" The possession of Fiume, the advance against Laybach, to-
with the progress of the army, gave his Excellency the Com-
inan,litur General the best founded hopes of the enemy's being shorts
ly obliged to make a further retreat."

illumination did not display much breadth, but the interchange and
brightness of the vai ieg:ited lamps produced a pleasing effect. It
consisted of the initials G. R. surmounted with a star and crow n,,and
the whole sin-roundel with wreaths of laurel.
At the Post-011kt- there was nothing particidatly deservina of
inotiee, except that the long entrance from Lombard stieet exhibit=
`d a si-len.iid vista, which remind( d us
.of the covered walks in
Vanxliall-gardens. Arches of lamps were sespended 'throughout the
whole of its extent, and the view was terntinated by a star of. vas
riegated lamps. r
In Cheapsitie there was little to detain • the attention of the spec-
laturs. At wit• witolow we observed 11 well-executed transpartney
of the Spread E.tgle Russian ;iv,' .-‘ll,trian arms, but fr9m.ifs
minateiiess it was II hit to be overleof,c.l There was also an alle-
gorical transparency corner of king street, which excited
wine observation. 11 tt presented Atlas ,11...taiinig the glare upon his
ample shoulders, vt hie the European 'quarter of it was prominently.
displayed, as if illuminated.
The houses of Messrs. Pellat and Green, anti of Mr. 11...i1ey, the
glass-manufacturers in St. Paul's Church-yard, were brilliantly.iiht-
initiated. The tailor had the word " Leipsig" in large letters, sur-
mounted with olive branches, emblematic of the prespects of peace
. opening to Europe flout that great battle. On Ludgate-hill, the il-
lumination at Mr. Blade's merited particular observation.
We Ina almost forgotten to mention the Hudson's Bay Muse,
in Fenelinreli-strcer, which was lighted up. The only novelty it
presented, were tridents- tin flied of lamps.
fineness of the night enabled the crowds assembled in the
streets to enjoy the giatifying spectacle without alloy ; and as far
as we could perceive, good order and ttecornat geni-rally prevailed.
As usual, however, the large space in trout of Somerset house al-
'lowed the mob to assemble, and annoy the passengers with
squibs
and erikri.urA.
La-t night the illuminations were repeated, and, if posPible, with
more splendour.

Extract of a letter from Windsor, Nov. 1k .
The King amuses himself with playing on the flute : he now orders
and gives directions respecting his dinner. His Majesty), established
pages to take their turn in waiting upon him, as usual. The Queen
frequently visits the King, and holds conversation with him in the
presence of the Physicians, Her Majesty's vilits arc sometimes re-
peated more than once in a day.
The procession of the Prince Regent on Thursday, to
open the Session of Parliament, was conducted with a consi-
derable degree of splendour. • In the forenoon a guard of
honour, -accompanied by a full hand marched to the entrance
of the Pal liament House. About the same time, the Lord]
Chamberlain, and Mr. Quarnr, the Deputy "Usher of the
• Black Rod, with their attendants, according to ancient
custom since the gunpowder plot, examined the cellars and
apartments adjoining the House. The Prince Regent set out
from St. James's Palace in his state-carriage drawn by eight
cream coloured horses precisely at half past one, accompanied
by the Duke of Montrose and Lord Boston, the Lord iu
Waiting. The procession was led by several other carriages
in which where his Royal Highness's attendants, and was
closed by several parties of horse and foot guards. The
concourse of people assembh d in the Park and in the streets
was greater than has been usual on similar occasions,
influenced, probably, by the fineness of the day, and the
universal satisfaction produced by the brilliant successes of
our arms and those of our Allies. The whole was conducted
with the greatest decorum ; and the Prince Regent, after
having opened the Session of Parliament, returned to St.
James's in the same order iu which he had proceeded from

thence.
Lord Clare, who seconded the Address to the Prince Re•
gent, in the House of Lords, is the eldest son and successor
of the celebrated Lord Clare, Chancellor of ',eland. Lord
Compton, who moved the Address in the Commons, is eldest
son of the Marquis of Northampton.
An appeal, we understand, is to be immediately made to
the public spirit of the Militia of the United Kingdom.
The object of it will he to induce a large proportion of that
valuable brands.of the national force to volunteer for foreign
service, by companies of front 60 to too men each ; either
for the pnrpose of becoming regulars, and of reinforcing the
weakened battalions in the army under the command of the
Marquis of 'Wellington ; or, retaining the denomination of
Militiamen, to form • provisional battalions to serve for a
1 limited period, under the command of Militia officers.
