Resolved, • •
Tr the following ADDRESS to the Public
inserted in the Morning and Evening Papers.
Lloyd's, 31st August, 112.
The sign'al and &leriousVictory -on the Plains of SalamanZa
achieved,
,through the transcendant military skill and con-
' duct of the'Marquis Of Wellington, by the intrepid gallantry
and firmness of the brave Officers and Men under his corn-
' 'mand, has.,been duly estimated by the admiring and grate-
ful People of these Realms, whose exulting satisfaction has
recently been. 'eXpressed in the most general and conspi-
cuous manifestations, of their pride, and joy. The Com-
mittee of the Patriotic Firnd feel it their duty, on this
• great occasion, to call an all their Countrymen to enable
them to continue the Relief, so well earned and so highly
deserved by the brave ,men who have fallen, or have been
disabled in this. nobie Conflict, for themselves, or the `Vi-
' 'lows, Orphans, and Relatives,, who depended on them for
support. ,
This Institution, since its establishment at the com-
mencement of this War, has afforded an honourable' and
gratefnl assistance or alleviation to 13,254 Cases of Officers,
-Seamen, and priviite Soldiers, their,Widows, Orphans, or de-
pendant Relatives and, including the deserving and. heroic
Sufferers oil the recent meniorable• Victory. of Salamanca, it
• has still a large munber of the most meritorious claims on ifs
accustomed assistance. ' The Committee feel a firm reliance
that through. the generous sympathy of all ranks of a dis-
cerning people, sensible of the blessings of security from the
hostile and vindictive aims of its powerful Enemy and Rival,
'6 the British Seaman and Soldier may still confidently trust,
" that those who are dear to him while living; shall, in the
" event'of his falßug in the sacred cause, find Friends and
" Guardians in a grateful and generous Coiantry : and that
" he who may be disabled in its. defence shall not be neglect-
-" ed by those whom he has bravely defended."

QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

Los' nor;
MONDAY, •DECEMBER 14, 1812.

At a very early hour this morning, we received
Paris Papers to the 10th inst. They do not con-
tain any fresh Bulletin, but there are several
pretended letters front the Army in Russia, giv-
ing .a most flattering account of the progress
of the troops towards " winter quartprs." The
writers pf these letters seem wholly to have
forgotten'the 28th. Bulletin, in which BUONAPARTE-
Limselt confesses, that the weather was so severe
that numbers of his men pet ished with cold.=
Ihey say that the fine-weather continued, and
•favoured in,a singular manner the movement's of the
arthy.—ln a most singular. manner indeed ! if
We may credit BUONAPARTE'S last Bulletin,
and BEALTHARNOIS'S intercepted letter. It is
said that •BUONAPARTE has left • Smolensko
for Orcha, and that he was expected at 'Wilna
about the 7th of December. But it will natu-
rally be asked, if individuals could send letters
from the army, could not BUONAPARTE have
sent a Bulletin 3 The fact, we have no doubt,
is, that the Government at' Paris, alarmed
at the- long period which has elapsed since
the arrival of a Bulletin, have fabricated these
letters, in the hope of allaying the public uneasi-
ness. It is, indeed, stated in a Morning Paper,
that a Gentleman had arrived from Paris, who
states that the 29th and 30th Bulletins had arrived;
that they Nvj ere dated from Smolensko, but that
they‘eontain no details. If that be true, then the
fine story in the French Papers, abOut the victories
of PrinCe SCHWARTZENBERG, must be a fabrica-
tion 1 for BUONAPARTE would hardly forget to in-
tea such an event in his Bulletin.

The last accounts from Lisbon and Corunna
confirm the opinion which we ventured to express
when we heard of the junction of the French
armies, and their adiance against Lord WELLttiG-
TON, that they would not be able to continue long
together, or to advance into Portugal. They
have separated and retreated, and the British
-army has advanced. Some of the priyate letters
state, that a considerable number of French troops,
under CAFFARELLI, had retreate4towardsßayonne,
and it was supposed that the greater part of the
army would follow.

The retreat of the Grand Army frOm Moscow
was delayed by BuoNArX.RTE.against the reing)n-
-• .
strances of 'Generals, froth a belief, which ,
which was encouraged by Count LAuFaSiroN, that
the RUssian corps d'armee dispirited by the battle
of Borodino.; would not be
.able to act on the of-
fensive, and that the Emperor AtEXAZDER, de-
pressed by the loss ofi'doscowt, would readily con-
sent to.an armistice, preliminary to a negotiation
for peace. The extent of the French losses was
not known in France, but it was rumoured to be
very great; no inquiries on, this• head, however,
were answered by persons holding places under
Government. BuoNAr ARTE was seen at Smolensko
on the Bth November, three clays previous to the
date of the last dispatches. The non-arrival of
any subsequent Bulletin, With the-customary as-
snrances of his health and safety, had occasioned
great alarm to the Government and its adherents;
but as scarcely any of the• couriers charged with.
dispatches had beta hitherto intercepted, the be-
lief that he would teach the Duchy of Warsaw in
safety was indulged, and prevented , a general in-
surrection. Had BUONAPART/i been actually in-
, closed by the Russians at Smolensk°, it is sup-
:
'posed
.that he would have put himself at the head
of some select corps,. and out a passage through
the .opposing force. The private letters which
have reached France from Poland, stated, that the
enemy, seldom gave 'quartet; and always plun-
dered the prisoners of clothes, money, BSc. which
prevented desertion in a certain degree. The Po,
lish Govertwent was so apprehensive of the en-
terprises of the. Russians, that they had began to
remove the magazines from Grodno, Wilna,' and
ether places.

The American President's speech we understand
has arrived. It is said to 'be of a pacific nature,
though the proposals of
,Sir J. B. WARREN were
rejected. '

WiNnsoa, DEC. 13,---Friday and yesterday
the Queen and the Princesses went to Frogmore,

• ‘iith htr Royal Mother, but an express was sent

meet her at the Palace. The cause is said to-be
the Princess- CHARLOTTE has a 'slight cold. It
is expected that her Royal Ilighness will come to

Metter received froth Hamburgh, by the last
14eligedand Mail, contains the following intel-
ligence:—
" Notwithstanding the most rigorous proceed-
ing on the part of the Police, the it ussian Bulle-
tins are universally ,circulated, and peruSeci with
the most lively feelings ,of satisfaction. A few
days ago; a 'report having been propagated in
Haraburgh of the death of Bonaparte, the inha-
bitants of all classes openly congratulated each
other on the intelligence, and the populace were
so vociferous in their expressions, of joy, that the
Governor, apprelienSive of an insurrection, or-
dered the police officers and troops_ to disperse the
assemblages which.were forming in every street.
The ringleader of one of these groupes was- taken
into custody while he was haranguing the citizens
upon the prospect of their Speedy liberation from
the French yoke.
Sicaiting.—Those who are fond of theamiise
ment of skaiting have met with a considerable
disappointment this winter, as the Canal in, St.
James's Park, and the -Serpentine, have been
nearly stripped of their icy covering, to supply the
cellars of the pastry-cooks. We are surprised
that the paltry emohiment of the Park-keepers
should in any way be permitted to deprive the
youth of the metropolis of this healthful and
manly exercise. A ,melancholy accident, which
happened yesterday, is in some degree connected
with this subject of complaint. About 12 o'clock,
three youths, who :were skaiting on the Canal, in
St. James's Park, very imprudently dared each
other which of them could go nearest to the edge
of the ice, which had been broken for the'puipose
of carrying it away by cart-loads for ice-houses,
when the ice gave way, and they all fell in. The
'.-,wo least advanced were in a short . time got out
with only a severe ducking ; the third, although
ropes, &c. were procured in a few minutes, was,
not got out for about a quarter of an hour. lie
was conveyed to the Storey's Gate Cotfee-house,
where the means of recovery recommended by the
Humane, Society were tried)by a Aledical Gentle-
man, bu,t in vain.
