" The Lords replied, that there was a differ-

own hands, as to disable itself in some cases. But
all prevailed not..

At Magdebarg the 1 pretend tliey will stop
the progress Of the Russ ; atld, vicinity
of that. fortress. it is -understood, Boonaparte
means, if fury where, again to fry the fortune of
war in a general haute. Magdeburg is consider-
ed ort of .internal Gibraltar, requiring a vast
army to form the siege, and a great length of
tine to reduce it. "Ishe Prussian General stir-
reialered it without making any delenct , after the
battle of Jena, being bribed, it is said by Thiona-
parte ; and he was convicted and disgrice,d for
his crime after the termination of the war. The
French -have ever since made it their grand depot,
their place of arms and stores, and Of , assemblage
for their forces, with a view to maintain 'their acqui-
sitions, and to carry on their recent ulterior designs
for the conquest...of Russia and the entire subjuga-
tion of the North. At present it constitutes their
chief point of defence ; for; if they lose Magde-
burg, they have no alternative hut to repass the
Rhine. Consequently, they have , applied it, as
far as possible, with the means of sustaining along
and vigorods siege ; bast the garrison, as well as
that of Dantzic, suffers dreadfully from sickness,
the consequence of the fatigue aid exhaustion of
the Russian campaign. It is said that a deficiency
of salt is felt as particularly distressing. The fol.-
lowing articles contain some historical and statis-
ticatparticulars
Magdeburg, a large, well-built and trading
town of Lower s..axony,'Capitlil of a duchy of the
same name. Among the. public buildings are the
King's Palace, anciently the residence of the Bi-
shops, the Armoury,. the Governor's house, and
the Guildhall, where the Regency 'and 'the Con-
sistory are held. In the cathedral is a superb
Mausoleum of Otho the Great. The cathedral
square is ornamented with large elegant houses,
and
.its area is. well paved. Here are different
manufactories of cotton k- and linen goods, stock
ingi, hats, beautiful . gloves, tobacco, and -
snuff; but the principal are those of woolleu and
is happily situated - for trade; -having an
easy comnimpication with 'Hamburgh by the- Elbe,
and lying on the road between Upper and Lower
Germany. It was taken' by' storm in 1631, by the
Imperial General Tilly,' who burnt the town and
massacred the inhabitants, of whom only 800
escaped out of 40,000 ; and 'many young women
!Alive(' into the'Elbe to escape violation. It is
strongly fortified, having, among other storks, a
citadel seated on an island in the riVerElbe, and
is 52 miles W S. W. of Potsdam. Lat. 52. 11.

The air Is' cold, but the country is well peopled,

ScoTeti. Divoucus.—An important decision,
relative to the general principles on which di-
vorces, are obtained in Scotland, took place one
day last week, in die Consistortal Court at Edin—
burgh. The libel was at the instance of Mari-
anne liontirey, otherwiit Newte, daughter of Sir
;here Hoinfrey, of Croat Rondda, in die county
of Cilamorgan and set forth, that she was marri-
ed hi December Thou N isevtite, Egg; of
that., ton parties cohabited together as husband and
wife ; that in January 18,11, the, defendant had
withdrawn his affections from his wife, deserted
hegaii a course of adulteries at Bath, and
other places i i Eugfaiid ; that thereafter be came
to Scotland, resided there ,rinse 'tithe, and conti-
ed his adulteries for several inonths iii I isl 2 ; and
therefore praying for a :14$1'irWt him, with
Jibeay to Marry again in common form. After am-
plc discussion and mature deliberation, the Court
found, that according to the Com Mon aVI Statute
Law, ',01114.!ry COilltnittNl in Scotland is a legal
ground for, divorce, without distinction as to: the
country so !fere, crl form, in Which the marriage
was 'celebrated ; and for this reason also found,
that whatever may be the views whicjt the law of
England nikes of the indissOlubility of Marriage
couttaci.-1 there, or whatever the effect the de-
crees of the Scotch Cooistorial Court may re-
ceive in foreigry countries, all stich foteign views
and conseiptences, especially when, as in the pre-
sent case, these,are directly adverse to the settled
dictates of the, law of Scntland, can have no'effect
iil regulating the. deFision,4 of that Court; So far
the tleekion, on the 4ettivd principles of the law
of Scotland bears upon the pr sent case; but 'in,
order to aseertain whether there was, or now is,
anytollusion between the parties, the Court, be-
fore farther procedure, appoints the Pursuer, (Mt s.
Newte), to appear and depone cie calaninia, and
upon oath, whether any
to be judicially examined
communication took place between bee, rind the
defendant, .their friends, or agents, relative to
this action-of. divorce, previous to or since mi.,

The following particulars with regard-to Dant.,
zic, are said' to be derived from a British naval
officer,: a privoner, who Made his escape from
thence on the 6th 'of March :.--The garrison
when it was first investOi was stated to be thirty
• thousand men. Li the middle.of Febettary, about
two thonSand were lost in a sudden inundation of
the Vistula. A large proportion of the officers,
and men are mutilated by :the frost, and-the gar::
rison was extremely sickly, in consequence of the
fatigues of the preceding campaign, and the bad-
ness qf the water. There were two thousand pa-
tients in the great hospital; the prevailing disease
was fever. The daily nioi fality was.about 150.
inhabitants also were sickly, and in vweat
want of meat ; but there was no want of grain or
ligtiOr;and bread remained at its usual price. No
succours had arrived, as the English flotilla close-
ly blockaded the port. There was no discontent
in the'garrison, whose hopes are kept up by daily
reports of successes of the French army, and its
advance for their relief.

We with
,pleashre select, from the St. Peters-
burgh Gazette, of the- 27th of February, the fol-
lowing traits;which do so much honour to Count
WoßoNzow, a RussiahNobleman, the early part
of whose life pa'3sea in this country, where his.
sister is naturalized, by marriage, as Countess of
PeimpaoKE. It. is scarcely necessary to remind
our readers, that the father of this gallant Officer
is Count WiAwszow, who was for many',years.
distinguished by the able manner in which. he
discharged
.the diplomatic functions at this Court :
Amongst the aeconuts published at the head-
quarters of our .army, is the following
General Count.WoitoNzon, having been wounded
in the battle of norodiao, hart repaired for the,
re-establishment of .his health to an estate di his
in the Government of \Vladimir. Shortly after-
wards other wounded individuals, passing through'
the same place on their way to regular hospitals,
the Count invited thCna to remain at hiS restdeoce
till the recovered. Accordingly the numhers'in-
'creased at last to 40 officers and 300 Soldiers ;7all
of whom were most-cordially entertained at the
Count's expence,.and each according to his rank :
the soldiers received their mOney•ane prcevisions:
as they would have done from Coi-erninent,and
even the hors,..,s' forage Was distrilosted at the
same time. Those who have since returned
.to
the army, feeling that they are indebted the
kindness „of Count: WoitoNzow for their
speak every where witlithe gratitude of,
their -gallant protector, who wit', a truly parental
anxiety, himself superintended every thing- rela-
tive to their cure. We consider it the more Our
dirty to gve general publicity to_this "noble
.con-'
duet of the Count's, because he himself endeaVour-
ed to keep it secret." ' e
On •Sundaytue prisoners in the depot at Perth'
were detected in another attempt to escape. They
had dug a pit, tO the depth - of twenty feet,.from
the floor of the prishn, No. 2—at some distance
from the bottorit of which, they. had just begun a
lateral cut. .The space below wam intended to.
receive the water; and the thine Was to have been
-directed obliquely upWards, that the water might
run oil' into this, receptacle. • A prisimer, who was
in the hOspital, being suspected of having given
information, was on Monday, iinufediately alley
.
his dismission from' the sick list, assailed by his'
•
comrades, and very severely handled, illeyst.em.
to have had an intention of cutting off his ears ;
but, froth his resi.tanen, they had succeeded only
in almost severing one of them from head.
He also received a number of cuts on the body
'with a knife. A rope was afterwards put, about
his neck, by *bleb he was dragged, through the
water in the canal ; and while in this situation,
some'of his, companionS leaped with all their
force upon hii'liOdy. Their.procee'dings 'were at
last observed ; and a party of the Durham militia
niarehed into the prison yard, and relieved the suf-
ferer from his tormentors,. The man who was thus
-obnoxious is not only a Frenchman hut a Parisian.
lle has been taken, all: posSible care of in the
hoSpital, and-is likely to recover. •
A shocking aceident o^curred last Week, in St.'
'Martin's-lane, aaring-cross. As one of the la-
bourers was employcial in pulling down an oh!
house,'.the cieling of tbe:secomi hoer gave 'way,
and beovas precipitated into the room underneath,
and broke his-thighs, besides .being dreadfully .lu.,
eerated about his body. He Was conveyed to St,.
George'S Hospital, Where he lapgnished until sun-
day last,' when he diedin great agony.
There are two boxing matches made, the ..one
bet Ween Fuller and Hallam, and auother between
'Oliver and`Cooper. •
