PRINCE PONIATOV;iSKI.

Colonels Kieki, Adjutant of the late Prince
Poniatowshi and fierakowski, Adjutant of the
General of Division 'Krasinski, who arrived at
Warsaw on the Btlr Nov. last, have given the fol-
lowing particulars respecting the death of the.
Priirce :—On the 19th October, when the French
army was retreating, the Emperor assigned part
f the suburbs of, Leipzig, next to the Borna
road, to Prince Poni,itowski:' This post he
was to defend with a body oT not more than
2000 Polish infantry. Perceiving that the French
cohniins on hit left Hank were hastily retreating
befuve asuperior force, and that there was no possi-
bilityofgetti ug acrnss the bridge:,ineessantly crowd-
ed as it was with artillcry:and!carriages, he drew
his sabre, and turning to the officers immediately
about hint--" Gentlemen," said he, 'tis bettfr
to fall with humour," and at the head of a few Po-
lis's cuirassiers and the officers attending him, he
fell furiously upon the advancing columns. He
had been wounded both on the 14th and 16th ;
on this occasion he received a musket-ball its his left
arils: With the words above-mentioned, he sprung
forward, but found the suburbs already filled with
allied troops, who hastened up to hini to make
hun prisoner. He syqy through them,
Lowever, was again ivounded:ithrough his woss,
threw himself into the rieiit,"•and with the assist-

Shecre h safety. :The horse tilich be rode
was left behind in this prst river, and the Prince,

gre.itly exhausted, InOnnted another which was
brought him. He then proceeded to ;the river
FAster, but it was already lined with rrussian and
Saxon rifleutren'i and seeing them advancing upon
lrim nn all sides, he plunged. into the river and
sunk, together with his horse. Several- officers
who precipitated themselves into the %A-merit-ter
the Prinet) Were likewise drowned, and others
taken prisoners on tire bank or in the river. The
Prince was nephew to Stanislaus Augustus,' the
last King of Pollird.

His funeral obsequies were
,performed on the
19th November, in the church Of the Holy Cross
at Warsaw, in the presence of the mutt distin-
guished Russian and Polish families in that city.
In the middle of the church, which 'was most bril-
liantly lighted up, stood a tasteful canopy, under
Which was placed a coffin richly decorated, cover-
ed with the mantle of the Prince; and adorned
with the military insignia of the deceased. Close
to it were suspended•his eight °Her's) propfs of
his disinguislied,valour, his services to his coun-
try, and the regard of foreign powers. Below
was seen the medallion of the Prince, with his
cot-nets Marshal's staff, and coat Of arms. The
high mass was said by his Excellency the Bishop
ofZambrzyclii, and was accompanied with select
music performed by amateurs of the capital.

Monday a man of the nanie of Ditall, who` lives
near Pimlico Wharfs, ,and. who is a retailer of
coals, had his house robbdd of ttotes aid cash
amountig to 711.—About five o'clock in the
evening, as he was returning home with his cart,
after having been labouring to sell his coals, 'he
was accosted near his own premises by a man
genteelly dressed, who asked hint " why his wife
had not sent the coals be ordered two -hours be-
fore ?" The poor man, not' knowing that any
coals had been ordered,: becatne angry with his
wife for the supposed neglect; and said he would,
make immediate inquiry. He accordingly yeut to
his wife, who stated that she ha no knowledge
of any such order. The husband, however, per-
sisting in it, desired Tier to walk out and see the
gentleman who ordered thent. Daring the tine
that the man and his wife were absent, some one
entered the house and stole the notes And cash,
which was all they possessed.

BULLETIN OF THE CROWN PRINCE.

Head-quarters, Kiel, Dec. 21.
" General Benkendorf has made himself master
of Gertruydenberg • Gen. Loranzaye, who com-
manded there, -is to return to France with his
garrison, on condition of not serving against the
Allies for one year.
" The fortress of Williamstadt was evacuated
with so much precipitation, that the enemy aban-
doned 20 gun-boats that were there. •
" In all the towns of Holland that hive been
restored to freedom, Bprgher-guards are forming.
" Gluckstadt is. surrounded. If the place be
not surrendered by the first frost it tvill be storm-
ed. The garrison had established near the vil-
lage of Ivensloth, in a very advantageous posi-
tion, a battery of four 13 pounders, with 200 in-
fantry to strve it. A battalion of the bi igade of
General de Boye made itself master of the bat-
tery, pursued the enemy under the graPe-slfut lire
of the fortress, and made many prisoners.
" All the preparations had been made to at-'
tack the fortress of Frederiesort : the troops of
the second brigade under General Baron de Posse,
were at 300 paces from the wall. .After a-very
sharp fire, which lasted a day and night, and
which our soldiers sustained with true northern
sangfroid, the Commandant capitulated on the
19th. We found in the place 101 piece 3 of can-
non, much ammunition, including 4 or 500
quintals of powder. The garrison are prisoners
of war."

ADVICE.

WVHEN Men of Education and Professional
Skill use ptrsevering endeavours to discover the most
safe lnd certain method a treat* a few prevailing Diseases,
the ,:ccessful result of Weir experience is the best proof of
superiority.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. Surgeons, hare been induced to
make the Care of the folic:Ting- the object of theic.PartiCular
study, viz. d certain Disorder, 'frequently contracted in a mo-
ment of Intoxication, and its concomitants, Strictures and
Gleets, which, by an an improved plan, are speedily and ef-
fectuailY cured ; as also Debility, whether arising from Bac-
,chanalian IndulgencesPong residence in warm Climates, or a
secret Solitary Vice, too often unhappily pursued by the
Yovth Of-hoth-Sexes ;, in the one causing Sterility or Barren-
ness and in the other a numerous train of Nervous Diseasesi
whiCh, if not timely remedied, terminate in Impotence and
Consumption. In that distressing state of Debility or Defi-
ciency, Whether the consequence of such baneful Habits, or
arising front any other cause, by which the powers of the Con-
stitution become enfeebled;as regialarly edueated Surgeons of
London, they offer a firm,•safe, and speedy Restoration to
sound and vigorous health.

The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled
them, by a superior method, to remove Venereal Complaints,
huweverinveterate or complicated, without subjecting. the
Patient to the least restraint in diet or exercise; and 41 reesut
cases, wheie an early application is made on discovery of
the Infection,- they frequently perforia'a Cure 'in the short
space of two days. The unprecedented success of their mode
of treatment (which has never been known to fail in one
Single instance in a practice of fifteen years, daring which
period many thousaiid persons of both sexes have been cured,
even after severe and injurious methods had been pursued by,
other Practitioners without effect), induces them to thus pub-
licly offer their advice.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. exclusively professing the Cure of
these particular complaints, in order that they may not be
Marked by a mistaken few, with the obloquy so justly at-
tached to the ignorant Empiric, think it but justice to them-
selves to state, that they have been properly.educated and
initiated into every branch of • the' proresslotr(certiticates of
which, from different hospitals, and testimonials from the
most eminent Physicians; they have to convince any inquirer)
that the success resulting:from their endeavo'urs first induced
them to quit the practise of the general Practitioner, and they
presume that their pretensions• constitute a fair ground for
the unprecedented confidence with Which they have, by the
Public. been so litserally honoured.
Patients in the country are requested to state the particu-
lars of their ca-e, age, and mannerufliving, indosing a Bank

PASSAGE MAIL.

PASs4V, DEC. 27.—1 t is reported here, that
the Marquiss of Wellington is about to remove his
head-quarters to Ustaritz (a town situated about
ten miles to, the southward of Bayonne), for
which purpose several divisions of Spaniards have
received orders to move forwards. 'We have not
heard that any affair of importance has occurred
between the two hostile armies subsequent to
that of the 13th, in which British valour was so
conspicuous.

VITToRra, D c..21.--They write from San
Fernando (Isle de Leon), that it bad been deter-
mined the Government should leave ttiat city on
the 16th, for Madrid. It appears that it will
make three halts on the journey : one at Carino-
na, another at Ecexa, and the third in Manza-
nares: With what pleasure will good Spaniards
see the Government proceed towards the centre
of Spain !--heroic people ! grand people ! to
thee it belongs to crown the work which you
yourselves began.

THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, Seer. 30.—We had a good supply of
New Wheat this morning from StiWolk, which sold at a re-
tloction of 4s. per quarter from last Monday ; fine Old was
also Is. cheaper, and a considerable quantity left on hand.
Haring a good supply of Harley, it has declined 2s. per guar/
ter. Fine Oats supported their price. Boiling Pease were 2s.
and eircY Pease Is. Cheap'er., In other articles there was no
alteration. •

•
SM LTH PI E LD, SEPT. 30.—This- day's Market was tolerably
well supplied with the various kinds of Cattle; Beef, Nut-
ton, and Veal, sold at last prices; Pork was dearer; and the
trade, for the most part, was but indifferent. The sale in the
Hay-market were not likely; Hay fetched last price Straw
and Clover have got up in price.

A very fatal and lamentable accident happened
near Newton Stewart, on Siinday se'nnight. Two
men, from Ireland, had been at some public-
bouse,.and got rather tipsy, and when they were
ou their way home, .accompanied by two others,
crossing a small river, one-of them stripped off his
clothtS, and going into the water, stood upon a
mass of clay, about knee deep, the. pool from
thence went down perpendicular about the depth
of 10 or 1 1 feet. His comrade came behindhina,
and happening to touch him, the naked man,
thought he intended to push him into the water,'
upon which bethrewhis arms behind and catight
hole) ol Lim by the clothes, and down went:both
to the bottom, where they I,ty till the vital spark
was extinguished. A third, seeing the state of
his companion, and, deceived by the pureness of
the water, plunged in to lend them aid, but he
would have Aared the same fate, had not the
fourth from the bank cast him a shirt, by whiCh
he was With difficulty dragged .to land. The
alarm being given, the bodies of the two sufferers '
were taken out' of the Water, locked in each •
others arms, but too late to be restored to life.

knocked at the door, when three soldiers suddenly
rushed out of the house, knocked them down, and
robbed his friend Mr. Winn of a coat: and waist-
coat which he was carrying, and other property.
He got up, was knocked down again, and they
were going to knock him down ti third tinie, when
John Wilkins, a patrole, came up, and prevented
it. Wilkins, the patrole, stated, thai'he was re-
turning home-front his fluty, when he met the pri-
soner at the bottOm of Ilanginan's-lane, Chelsea,
running with a bundle, which induced him to
stop, and asked hint what he had got ? on repeat-
ing the question, he replied', that 'it was a coat
and waistcoat belonging to his brother, who had
stripped to fight. Witness took the prisoner into
custody, and as he was conveying him, he saw
two soldiers running away, who proved to be the
companions-of the prisoner; they made off, how-
ever, and escaped.

HAVTON-GARDEN.-John Smith, .4 boy who
played the bugle horn to the Loyal North Bri- •
tons, was brought up yesterday, and nncierwent a
long'exaMination, charged on suspicion of robbing
the depOtrof that regiment, in Kirby-street, Hat-,
ton-Garden, of several pair of silver lace epaulets,
silver, buckles, silk sashes, ostrich feathers, until-
-cal instruments, and a number of other Valuable
articles, not as.yet exactly ascertained, the pro-
perty of his Roy.tl Highness the Duke of Sussex,
Sir Alexander Ittmitray, Captain 'familial), and
the other Officers of this regiment. The prisoner
was committed for a further hearing.
UNIQN-1-IAIL .---Johtail?: 1110)1S was again brought
up, charged- with defrauding various persons of
ditfereut sums of money, by selling them watches
as valuable ones, which were; ,in fact, not worth'
more than the silver contained in time cases.

Mrs. Higgins, landlady of the Three Merry-
men, LallibVtil, stated, that in the beginning of
December last the prisoner, who was then ha
J)iteil as a sailor, entered her house, tollow4d by
a Jew. The prisoner had a large silVer watch in
his.hand, which the Jew offered him 'six guineas
and a half for. The prisoner declared no rascally
Jew should have that-for six guineas and a half,.
which had a short time before cost him thirteen
guineas, at.the same time offering the witness the
watch for six guineas, saying his money was
gone. and he must sell it. The witness, deceived
by this stpt •:nent, bought the watch. The pri-
soner, aft.l having something to drink, went
away, anti Mrs. Higgins soon after discovered
that the watch for which she had given six gui-
neas, was not worth a guinea and a half.

of the Swan Inn, Dover-road ; Mr ,M‘Kenzie,

OFFCIAL,

TI-t4E ':-.27,;t7.EF.: (Horning) ontloNrct4.;l
Towards the close of commercial business
yesterday, a report obtained general' circulation,
that the Negociations at Ghent Were not only
broken off, but broken up, and that the duties of
the British Commissioners. at Ghent being con-
cluded, Lord GAMBIFR bad reached England. As
to the alleged fact of his Lordship's arrival, we
think we may positively- affirm that_ it is unfound-
ed. With regard to the other circumstances, the
following is the information we have been enabled
to acquire : •

" It was accurately said yesterday in our Paper,
that there has been no meeting " by appoint-
ment, for the purposes of .conference, since
the, 25th of the laSt month," .but it is true,-
that- there was an interview Tor another object
two days subsequent to, that date ). lt was ac-
kno, ledged on both sides, that on the occasion
cif the meeting of the 25th, some intemperate lan-
guage had been employed, and.EAmi (2) party was
anxious' to remove any personal feeling, that was
in the least degree opposed- to that 'gentlemanly
sentiment which public Negociators ought (3) re-
ciprocally to pi eserve. To interchange apologies
under the irritability that had been mutually
was the sale and cxcrusive porpoSe of the inter-
view-of the 27th, and it Lad no. political object
whatever (4). We repeat then, that from the 25th
of August to the 3d September there has been no

conference on die business ,of the Negociatiou
between the British and American'Agents (5).
" However, subsequent to the 27th tilt. we are
told, hut not on the same satisfactory dathority (6)
from which the preceding intelligence is derived,
that through the medium of the British Commis-
sioners written proposals' have been transmitted
to this Government from'" the American Plenipo-
tentiaries; and which were •enclbsed in the'dis-
patches,that were received on Monday, and on
whieh,Ministers,on the saute day deliberated. It

. _
is said that these proposals were an "endeavour on
the part of the. Republican Agents to:renew the
suspended Negociatiou, and that they contain an
accommodating offer, but coupled with the indis-
pensible condition, that an armistice, boTh by sea
and land, should be conceded. To this condition,
it Is asserted, that the Cabinet world not assent,
and in that ,situation of things it is supposed
that the attempt to prevent the rupture had been
ineffectual, and that the proceedings at Ghent are
in consequence wholly discontinued.
‘.` We have strong grounds for believing, by
letters which came to our hands yesterday, thro
a private channel from Paris, that the American
Commissioners, when they were there, imme-
diately prior to their departure for Ghent, had
little or no hope of a peaceable result -from the
Negociations which had been 'confided to their
management (7):"

itdiv Te) r;IE LOVE.

liiitbuToN,`Serr. 6.—A very extrAiirdin'ary'ease
came under the cognizance of our Vench of Ma-
gistrates, at the Town-hall, yesterday morning.
The local officers of the parish of Preston, letthi
motives of Innirsinity merely, brought thither ti
young woman, just turned of 21 years of age,
from their ivork-house, upon the singular charge.
of refusing to take food ; mid so Obstinate, it was
stated, had she been in these refusals, that she
had beets known to he withnut any nourishment '
whatever, excepting water, for nine days and
nights!

The poor girl, Who was neatly dressed, and did
• not appear to be so old by two or three )•ears as
stated, answered the accusation with tears only,'
until questioned by Mr. sierjeant RUNNINGTON,
in the mildest accents, which gave her confidenCe,
and taught 'her rather to regard him as the friend
• who could pity and console, than the Magistrate
who would condemn and punish her in .her
misfortunes,' when she faulteringly observed,
that she ate as often as she, could—that she
was at times very poorly, but she •could nth.
tell what was the matter with her—that she
lvas-I•ery unhappy, but she did not know why.—
she admitted that the parish-officers Lad been very
kind to her, that they had ,offered her food of the
best quality, and pressed her to eat, but that it had
been out of her power; that she had been allowed
u take whatever exercise she pleased ; but for
which,- it appeared, she had no more inclination.
than for the food she had refused ; and that the
parish officers had even offered to provide for her
out of the work-house, and place her in any si-
tuation she could wish for, where she -might en-
joy and comfort herself, and be useful to others.
'Her replies were simple and artless ;- it. wasiin-
possible to hear them and not feel an interest for
her fate : pity. was the predominant sentiment in
all present, and she was ultimately dismissed with
an earnest. and compassionate intreaty that she
would in future comply with the wishes of those
who had only her ow( welfare in view, and with
which, as the tears trickled down her face, she
would endeavour to comply.
An abstinence of the length, and description
above stated, and dissolution avoided, is scarcely
'to be credited ; but those best acquainted with,
the, facts have no doubt upon the subject ; and
what renders the affair more strange is, that
though pale and rather sickly in appearance, the
condition of the poor girl certainly bore no indi-
cations of a starving state. From her attach-
ment to one family in the neighbourhood of Pres-
ton, and her hesitating manner when the name of
that family Was mentioned to her, it is supposed
that a cherished and hopeless affection for-Some
object connected with it, has been the cause of
her conduct awl sulfisrings. tier behaviour and
character;'however, are regarded as .correct.
