GOTTENBLIAGII 11,141L5.

GOTTENBURGH, (6—This day an English

and Russian Courier arrived here from St. Peters-
burgh With dispatches for England ; they state that
almost all. the Russian troops 'had, departed for the
ftontiers, and that General KA:um-slot left St. 'Pe-
terNirgh a few days before they were dispatched,
to take the chief command of them. These Cou7
riers•had not heard of any.battle hivingbeen.. fought,
though such an event was hOnrly expeeted,, Daily
• Couriers were passing between St. Petwsburgh and
the army. •
• One of the Swedish Ships which was taken by the
French at Lubeck, with troops ofi board, was, after,
the troops were landed and made prisoners, put.un-
der the guard of seven French Soldiers : the wind
becoming fair one. rnoivinir while the Frenchmen
co •
Were below, the Captain cut his cable, put to sea,
„., . and brought the Ship safely into Carlscrona. She
ilas 500 stand of arms on board, besides the French-

Men.
It would appear that a perfe& good understanding
subsists between Ruisia and the Porte, which latter
Place the French Minister, after. a. great .deal:of in-
triguing, has been obliged to quit ; and it is said
that the REIS EFFENDI, who entered into these
intrigues, has been' strangled. The Russian Ar-
IllY an 'the Frontiers amounts...to between three
A1)(1 four hundred thouand Men, besidei a consider=
able corps of Prussians.
-It would seem as if a Battle, and that a Severe
had been fought between the_ Russians -and

The late Duke of RICITMOND was a most regular.
paymaster ; gay, so anxious was his Grace to be
free from debt, • that he has been .known to order
printed notices to his tradesmen, &c. to be stuck up
in Chichester and its neighbourhood, to require
them to send in .their accounts for examination and
payment, on pain .of forfeiting his empleyment.
PEDESTRIAN. WA.ornt.—Yesterday a Gentleman
'undertook, for a rump and dozen, to walk from the
'Military Asylum, Chelsea) to the eight mile stone on
the Harrow road, within one hour and twenty' rill-.
antes. He accordingly started at 'eight in the morn-.
ing, and walked to Westbourn Green, near Padding-
ton, twhere he laid his hand on the mile stone, and
Won the-wager within fifteen minutes of the time
allowed. The loser supposed, when he made the
bet, that the mile stones counted from London,, as
they do upon most of the roads,' but the one mile
stone stands at Harrow, and the ninth at Paddington.
Several good bets were also depending. %- • •

Miss Las's new. Comedy is very;:sooZ,- to be

brought forward at Drury-lane Theatre. According

Spirit which -is the leading feature of most modern
comedies, but aims, by an imitation of real life, to
. Inculcate an interesting moral.
If Mrs. Billington bad not resolved to retire from
all tnusical circles during the present season,,a onion

the Opera House, which it Seems his 'long been a

for this year. Such an union would certainly form
a combination of powers never before known in the
musical world. :
