The private letters brought by the last Gotten-
burgh ,Mail are of a later date, and of a still more
satisfactory description than the public accounts.
BUONAi;ARTE now finds that be has not only to
cqntend with theArtnies of the Emperor, ALE
\7DEIt- (opponents which he found gitiie fornii-
d •ble enough), but with the whole population
of the Russian Empire. Great, numbers of the
French troops hAv&'been cut to
.pieces or made
'prisoners by the inhabitants of villages, who have
taken, up arms to protect themselves 'from their
ferocious invaders. On two occasions only, the
French lost in this.kind. of petty, hut destructive
warfare, not less than 1500 men. The reinforce-
ments of the French army must be immense indeed_
to supply the daily loss which BuoNArALTE must.
sustain from the sword; from disease, and from the
dreadful fatigue to which his troops must bee posed,
in'that inhospitable ciimate. We have very little
(lOubt but that BUONAPARTE will he forced to risk
another battle, and that too in the position in
which KuTusow may choose to fight him.

It is stated that General BENNIGSEN has been
appointed to succeed General ToamAsow, who
has been removed. We shall rejoice to sees the
conqueror at Eylau again actively employed.
against the Frencb.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT does not apppear to
think that he sufficiently disgusted the public in
his recent letter to the Electors of Westminster,
and therefore he has addressed another to those of
Southwaik, hardly less offensive to decency and
liberal sentiment.' The cause of this last Philip-
-, p' is avowedly a declaration of Mr. HENRY
, THORNTON, that " the victory obtained over his
Competitor, Mr. BURDETT, evinces the preference
given by the Electors to his (Mr. TuouYroN's)
rational views both of economy and reform." As
'Sir FRANCIS is in the constant habit of attacking
his political opponents with the most
.virulent ani-
tnosity, and always applies to them every term of
reproach and defamation, it might be thought that
the mild language of Mr. THORNTON, on the oc-
casion referred to, would not' have excited in the
Baronet such a furious -and bitter spirit of resent-
ment against him. But, temperate as the lan-.
guage alluded to was, Sir FRANCIS talks of " re-
b 'ting malice, refuting misrepresentation," and
ace,:ses Mr. THORNTON of "venomous aspersions,"
—c Irma allow him to be a" woi•thy representative,".
imputes'to h nr " morbid sensibility and overflowing
spleen," which he delicately sqys Mr. THORNTON,
" as he dares not spit out upon the Electors,
has exhausted upon him." Sir FRANCIS also,
w:, h etival delicacy, says, that Mr. THORNTON
should have been Lontent with " solid pudding."
But, to use the words of the Baronet, '' it would

be too tedious,. and qiiite unnecessary, to go
through the whole of his unmeaning gallimatiar"
We may, however, in answer to his question,
" what reason, what interest, what motive, can
be assigned for his being less rational, less car-
ioct, in his views and objects," than Mr. T. whom
he tauntingly calls an " all sufficient Gentleman. "
te:iture to say that the latter is a fritnd to the
Contitution ; that he does not advocate Frei;cb
principles ; that be does not "pander to the bad

Achninistrations ; that lie does not seem desirous
of bringing:all aothority into contempt ; to spread

Monday being the Duke of KENT's birth-day,
the same was ohcerved in a 'private manner by the
Royal Family. his Royll Highness ai'ri;.,ed here
early in the morning, and rode on horsebaCk with
the Princesses ATIGL/STA, SOPHIA, and CHARLOTTE
Of WALES, attended by the Bishop of SALISETJRY,
General -Si,ENCEFik,Colonels DE3BROW and TAY-
LOR, and I:4.a:ely,tyl- MtnnAy.

The DflkeS of CLARENCE and CAMBRIDGE, and
'DuChess of YORK, arrived to dine with the Royil
Family .
Yesterday being, Princess SOPIIIA:6 birth-day,
it was observed in a similar manner. The Prin.-
cesi CHARLOTTE of WALES visited her Royal
Aunt early in the morning, and as a tokan of her
affections, presented her with a piece of plate.
Dinner was not ordered till five o'clock, to suit
the convenience of thePnINCE REGENT; at which
time his Royal Highness arrived, accompanied by
the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and joined the 'QUEEN
and the above branches of .the Royal Family.

The Duke of YORK yesterday held a Military
Levee at 'his Office, and gave audience to a number

of Officers ; among them—was General REPOw, on
his being appointeckto the command of the brigade
of the Royal Horse Guards (Blues), and the Life
Guards, in Spain.

Admiral LEGGt had been relieved in the com-
mand at Cadiz, by Admiral COCKBURN, and, it is
said, has arrived in the Revenge.
Yesterday dispatches 'ere rereiv.ed from
STUART, at Lisbon, at the. Secretary of State's
Office. •

' We understand, that a Gentleman has arrived,
who' made his escape from Paris, and v.'hostates,
that all the shops were shut, and that some of
those of the goldsmiths had been plundereti either
by the populace or the Government. IsZo Con-
scription," was placarded daring- the night in
many public situations ;' and we are told that the vi-
gilance and energy of the Magistracy were incom-
petent to the restoration of tranquility. We very
much doubt the truth of many of the stories ; but
it is certain, that the :severity of the Conscrip-
tion, which requires the surrender of boys from
the academics, at fourteen years old,' has excited
much serious discontent; and one family at Bout-,
deaux, has unsuccessfully offered a sum equal to
8001. sterling; to obtain a substitute for a boy
devoted to the; Conscription.
THE ROYAL HussAns.—This regiment (the

PRINCE REGENT'S Own), now on duty in Lon-
don, in the room of the Life Guards, was raised
during the first rebellion in Scotland, in the year
1715, as a regiment of heavy dragoons. In the
year 1783 it was made a regiment of light ca-
valry, and the PRINCE was made Colonel-Com-
mandant.
,'ln the year 1795, General kVILLIAn
PITT was removed from it to the Ist Dragoon
Guards, and the Prince of WALEs became its eifee-
tive Colonel.

The Magistrates of Inverness have, much to
.he satisfaction of the community, conferred the

freedom of that town on Sir JAMES IVPINTOSII,
who has so highly distinguished himself
,by his
talents* and who reflects so much honour tin the
country which gave him birth.

REJECTED ADDE ESES.-01.1r hint, we find,
has been taken, and the Addresses really presented
to the. Committee of Drury-lane Theatre, are like-
ly to be published together. It is not probable
that the Committee will annex their authority to
the publication if they have positivt ly been guilty
of the partiality imputed to them, in giving a
preference to Lord BYRON'S, though sent after the
time stipulated for receiving Addresses, and
which had been extended, .but the respec-
tive Authors can do justice to themselves. The
collection will exhibit a curious variety in the
manner of treating the same subject, thongl4 it
may nOt, as expected, afford " a test of the poe-
tical genius of the-country.",
