yard, at the time the Lord Mayors procession was
going into. Westminster-hall, when he saw the
prisoner artiong the crowd, and observed him take
a silk handkerchief out of the prosecutor's pocket;
upon whiCh he seized him, and on searching him,
found another silk hankerchief concealed under his
Waistcoat.

Mr. Lyon identified the handkerchief AP be his

Yesterday - Robert Warren was brought. io. thtS
office, charged by Nettleton, a constable belenp
ing to Drury-lane Theatre, with getting from the
two-shilling gallery into. ,the- boxes, and after-
wards making 'a,disturbance in the. street.. Mr.
Warren, in his defence, denied being-;the person
who had got from the gallery to the boxes. Tlie
reason of his making a Thst.urbance in the street,
was-his being turned out of the .Theatre after hay-

vett was_the,person who got from the gallery to the
boxes, he was discharged. . •

UNION-HALL.—Palin and Telling, the two men
in custody on suspicion of the murder of Captain
Keith ;and Mr. Smith, the Chief Mate of the Ad-
venturer South Sea whaler, as stated in our Paper
of Thursday last, were brought up for re-exa-
mination.

Same as that originally made by biln. On the
night on which the murders were committed be,

and either in the first or second watch he was
awoke by Rose's calling to the Captain in a
low tone, dOwn the hatchway,--," Captain Keith,
Captain Keith ! something wrong is going for-
ward on deck." The Captain got' out of bed
directly, and went up in his shirt, but returned
again immediately and awoke the Mate, and they
went on deck together. Soon after he heard the
Mate call out " 0 Lard, 0 Lord !" He was
alarmed, and got out of his hammock ; and as he
was standing by the side of it, he saw PalM and
others throw the Captain's body overboard. There
was no resistance, and he,- s ipposed the Captain
was, dead at the time. Sool alter he heard the

was on the information of Lucy Il'illen, of Sloane-
street, who Stated, that her sister was locked up
in a house without food; or the means of obtain-
ing it. This information, to the de-
positions of two tradesmen at 7Bayswater,,who
swore that they heard a cry of " murder"
Sandy for three-quarters of an hour, and were. rt -
fuSed access to the hOuse, induced a warrant to
be obtained against Wilhelmina Launie. Foy; the

peatedly been refused access, be forced the door,
and rescued the capilve, Sophia Hallen, an inte-
resting looking female, who was escorted.to the

It appeared, from the statement of the prose-,
cntrix, that she had sold the lease of Arianta,,e-
House for 1701. in payincut for which hil:s had
been given, paytble at diderent perious , but she
reserved to herself the right'of posscs.ion till the

on Wednesday, and 'Thursday last, there being
only Launie and "her servant, and the? prosetutri;:
in the house, the former caused the doors• and vin

that during these two days she was kept without

when taking a cup of coffee, the defendant took it
from her,.and threw it into the ashes. She stated
herstlf to have heen.so much reduced on the se-

neighbours, and the defendant held her up at the
window to appease the clamour of the people.-7
The prosecutrix stated herself to have heen.as7

Two tradesmen proved having heard repeated,
cries of " murder," and that the house was impe-

The defendant was committed in default of bail.

ikEPORT OF THE KING OF `NAPLES` TO 'l-1E MAJOR

GE &BRAG..

On the 4thsand sth-, -the advanced guard of the
arrnyof his:Majesty was warmly''engagedswith the
enemy's rear-guard; and .drove it from all its
positions.. The enemy made a stout resistance
on the sth. On the -4th, every one did bis duty,
but Count Perigord, Colonel of the Bth regiment
of horse chasseurs, distinguished himself in re-
pulsing successfully several charges of a cavalry
much.stronger than his own.
On the sth in the evening, .his Majesty Or-
dered inc to 'attack the redoubt with the cavalry,,
the division Compans, and the Polish corps. ,
" General Compans disposed .his columns for
attack, and marched on the town of -,
situ-
ate& at the foot of 'the redoubt, and of the wood
at its right. The cavalry supported it ; mas-
ter of the village and the wood, General COmpans
marched against the redoubt, which, was cartied
by the bayonet by the 61st reginlent. However,
several charges of cavalry took place, and the
Russian Cuirassiers were. overpowered by the fire
of our infantry and artillery, and by our casvalry.
" The enemy returned so‘the charge with t,wo
columns of infantry to retake the redoubt, but he
was vigorously received by the division Coin-
pens, and obliged to withdraw after a long fusil-
ade. During this time Prince Poniatowski drove
the enemy at my right before him, and took pos-
session of a mountainous position. The combat
lasted-till ten in the evening, and we posted our-
selves.
" The result of this day gives his Majesty some
prisoners, sever( Pieces. of cannon, and the posi--
tion which he was desirous of occupying.
" Every man did his duty. General -Calane
and the Marquis of Guilano, my, Aid-de-Camp,
were wounded. I shall send to the Staff an ac-
count of the Offcers and soldiers, who most dis-
tinguished themseltes; soliciting.fOr them the ad-
vancement and rewards which they deserve.

lIEFORT OF THE KING O NAPLES TO THE MAJOR-

GENZRAL;

" In the night between the 6th and 7th, I receiv-
ed the general dipoitions for the battle, which I
ordered to he carried into execution ; and at five

o'clock in the morning, the Ist, 2d, and 4th corps
de reserve or the oavalry
_were brigaded in column
at the foot of the redoubt. , The Ist corps of 're-
-serve, was to support the attack of the Ist corps of
the army; the second, that of the 3d corps of the
army,; the fourth marched in reserve to the cen-
tre, and wits, if necessary, to sustain either the
one, or the other. His 'Majesty bad placed the
3d corps of reserve at the diSposal of the Viceroy.
The signal for attack being given, all was put in
motion according to this order.
." The Emperor having received advice of the
Prince of Eckmulil having just been wounded, or-
dered me to go to him, and to take the command
of the first corps of the army, in case that Prince
:.Mould be found unable. to continue it. I returned
to inform his Majesty, that he had answered ine
that his wound -vas merely a, contusion, and that
be could continue his command. A moment of-'
terwards, his Majesty told me to go to the front,
and see what was passiry,'' at the redoubts ; twent
there at full gallop. At my arrival the light
troops were entering the second redoubt,' at which
they were repulsed. The Russian cuiras,sicrs
charged our light infantry, but they were received
with a brisk tire of musketry from our-infantry,
and vigorously driven back by the division Bru-
, -yere. A charge Made by the Wurtembnrgh re-
giment of Beurman on the Russian infantry, at
the same time was attended with. the greatest
success ; the Russians who Were marching to the
first redoubt being entirely sabred- I then caused.
the soldiers to march at quick step to the second
redoubt, which was taken at once. The whole
Ist corps of cavalry received orders to throw-
. themselves behind these same redoubts, and the
4th corps likewise received orders to advance
' to. pass the ravine, and to charge the pieces of .ar-
tillery and the infantry which were in the village,
a position whiCh was of the greatest importance
to the enemy. General Latour.. Maubourg, at
the head- of the Saxon cuirassiers, fell on the
enemy, in spite of- the fire of-the artillery and the
infantry,' charged them, sabred a. great number,
and maintained himself in the position.
" Dming this while, General Nansouty, at the
head of the Ist division of cuirassiers, under the
orders of General St. Gerinain, charged with vi-
gour all those who were to the right of the two
Tedoubts, and swept the plain as far as the ravine
of the village.
" At this moment his Majesty sent me the Divi-
sion of General Friant. General Dufour passed
the ravine, at the head of the 15th Regiment of
Light Infantry, chased ;the enemy successfully,
and arrived at the principal heights, which are be-
hind the village. Gen. Friant supported this
movement with the rest of his division, disposed
in brigade' as a reserve ; i then caused Gen. Can-
laincourt to pass to tho head of the second corps
'of reserve ; scarcely was he, got to the other side
of the ravine, 'when I directed him to charge on.
his left whatever he might find of the enemy, and
endeavour to carry the great redoubts, which, tak-
ing us in -flank, did ris vast harm, if he should find
a favoura'ile opportunity. This order was exe-
cuted with equal celerity and courage Caulain-
court, at the head of the second division of cui-
rassiers, under the orders of Gen. Nattier, bore
down every thing he found before him, and. find-
ing himself to have passed the great redoubt on
the left, he wheeled round on it, and with the
sth cuirassiers took it from the enemy. This'brave
General died gloriously in the same redoubt,
which was. kept until the arrival of the troops
under General Girard.
Meanwhile the Russians formed several masses
of infantry, .composed of the Russian Guards ,and
of their reserve. Supported by a numerous cavalry,
the-enemy marched to retake the village. I had
caused- successively, all the artillery of the cavalry,

and that A-Friant's divi!inn*, to be brought for.
ward. 4,bput 80 pieces of cannon were formed
in battery, to carry into the midst of the enemy's.
masses. I caused to keep up a rolling fire,
which stlpyed thee movements of the Russians.—
The..Etrperor has been enabled to convince hims:-
Sci or the devastation which the arlillery caused
the enemy, when lie yesterday Nent,over the field,
of battle. .

"Theßusshm cuirassiers supported the movement
of their infantry, and charged at differeht times
the French arLifiery, ca•valry, and itrfailtry, They
were constantly repulsed, with the greatest loss,.
and the field of e.wa-; covered wit their dea;i.
They suffered an enormous loss of horses, iii these,
different 'charges. The carabineer brigades, under'
Generals Poultre and Chouard, and the 11th and
regiments of chasseurs, conducted by General
Pagpl, as well as St. Germain's ar.d Bruyer's divi-
sions, particularly distinguished themselves,
" It was time to silence all the fire of the enemy's
artillery, and carry the last position they held in
-advance of the -left of the three corps.
.1 ordered
Friant's division to March ; during this time I
pushed forward a vigorous charge on the front.—
Tire enemy were 4)verthrown ; they threw them-
selyes into the wood; they withdrew their artil-
lery; all the plain was cleared ; their last position
was carried. It was then I had the happiness
of meeting his- Majesty.

REPORT OF THE VICEROY TO THE MAJOR-GENERAL.
" According to his Majesty's orders, the four
corps set out at five o'clock in the morning of the
3th September, from its camp, in advance ofiLoti
sos. After an hour's' march, a briSk fire on: Ifl
right gave me to.understand that the elie4 re=
sited the troops who advanced by the great Mos
cow road; His Majesty's instructions ordered me
to turn the right of the enemy's army. .I,`" incon-
sequence, took possession of a tillage built upon
an eminence, which the Batssians had neglected to
occupy. As soon as they perceived we were mas-
ters of it, they began their retrograde movement.
This movement could only be made under the fire
of our cannon, laden with grape7shot, Which -wok
in flank or rc;ar all the corps Which passed within
shot. Theenerny falling back upon fresh troops,
arrived at their position at Borodino ; winks
grefitly added to the 'natural force of the
During the afternoon, the 4th corps kept
.np a
very briSk fire of artillery to faVour, the attack, his
Majesty ordered to be inad, on that redoubt, upon
which the left of the enemy supported itself.
" The 6th was _passed in reconnoissances and
preparations. his Majesty placed at my disposi-
sition Maraud and flirant's- division, and Ge-
neral Grouchy's corps , of • cavalry, to which the
next day I joined General Guyon's light brigade
of cavalry. In the evening the troops were chi-
posed as,follows Morand's division on
the right, Girard's behind it, more to the right,
and in the rear, of General Grouchy's cavalry,
'Charged to gain the ground proper for it as soon
as circumstances would permit.
" In the centre and in echellon of Girard's di-
vision was 'placed Broussier's division, haiing be-
hind him, in reserve, the royal horse, and loot
guards.-
" Delzons' division formed the extreme left.—
It was supported by the light division of 'cavalry .
under the orders of General Ornano. In the night
the General of Artillery, Porchern, threw four
bridges over the small river of Kologna, whose
rugged banks, intersected by a great number' of
ravines, separated us from the enemy.
" His Majesty's orders were t( take possession
of the village of Borodino as soon as I should
hear the cannonade well established on my right,
and to advance in proportion to our progress in
this part. In consequence, on the morning of the
7th, General Delzons caused the village of Boro-
dino to be attacked by the 10fith. At the very
instant in which this brave regiment, formed in
column, penetrated into the village, General Plau-
zonne; who conducted it, was killed by a ball.—
The 106th, impelled, by its bravery, rapidly pass-
, ed the three bridges which the enemy had esta-
blished upon the_Kaloglia, behind the village, and
.advanced towards the eneruy's lines. The Russi-
ans, persuaded that it was our intention to debonch
from this point to separate their right wing from
the centre, for several hours fixed all their atten-
tion on thi' side. Adjutant Commandant Bois-
, aerolles, whom I have much to praise, had replaced
General l'lauzonne : he made excellent disposi-
tions for the pres'ervation of the village of Boro-
dino, which, according to the general instructions
for the battle, could not be abandoned.
" While this 'was passing upon my left I ad-
vanced General Morand's division, charged with
the attack of the grand redoubt which covered
the centre of the .enemy's army. It formed the Ist
line, deployed, the 2nd-by •columns of battalion.
Notwithstanding eighty pieces of artillery, and a
violent- fire of. musketry, •this brave division
marched out from the ravines in order of battle,
and advanced with the greatest coolness upon the
rising ground. The 30th regiment of the line at-
tacked With the Bayonet, and penetrated into the
redoubt, but it could not maintain itself in it.—
General Bonamy'who marched at its head, was
wounded, and taken in the redoubt. For the mo-
ment our efforts were confined to the preserva-
tion of the rising ground, five lines of Russian in-
fantry advanced to retake it, and attacked Gen.
Morand's right. I immediately formed Girard's
division a little in advance to the right of the
first ; the 7th light was placed on the left, and
I disposed General Broussiere's division to sup-
port it.
The battle was 'again renewed upon all that
line with extreme vigour. The enemy made reite-
rated efforts to carry the rising ground, but the3r
were vain. His Majesty's troops remained im-
movable ill their positions.
" In the hope of causing a useful diversion, to
disengage their centre, the enemy decided upon
making a grand movement of cavalry by their
right, by turning our left. Eight regiments and se-
veral thousand Cossacks, totally overwhelmed this
wing, and the Russian artillery was doubled to

cannonade the Village. The brave Artillery • Co-
load, bemay, was 'killed: General Ornano's light
diiision of cavalry, too ,weak to resist -so consi-
derable forces, retired in order.. General Dlzons'
second line, which had coßstantly supported the
troops who defended the- village, were rapidly
formed in squares. This formation was not com-
pleted, when the Croats received a'cliarge, which
they repulsed by their fire.
The enemy's .cavalry, reinforced by fresh.
squadrons, charged the 85th, who received it.—
The strength of this cavalry rangmented every
moment ; they successively renewed their charges
upon the squares of the Bth light, and the Croats
of the B.4th and 92d, but they were• every where
received and rtpalsed' with vigour. The hussars of
the Imperial Guard were, in particular, roughly
handled ; the enemy gave .up the idea of pene7
trating our cavalry., '
" On the centre and right of the troops under
my orders, the battle had continued with the
same ardour. Returned from the left, Where my
presence had been neeessary, I made fresh dispo-
sitions for the attack of the great redoubt : five
battalions of Girard's divisions, which had not
yet taken any pact, were placed on the right ;
Broussiere%s division in advance and on the left—
all this' infantry proceeded at the pas tie chqrge,
virithont firing ; at this Moment the Cuirassiers:,
who were -upon the right, gave a most brilliants
charge, and entered the •redoUbt—the 21st, 17th,
9th, and 33th of the line attacked the redoubt in
front and in flank, and seized upon it. It was,
still furnished with twenty-one-pieces of cannon.
" They formed in, the rear upon several lines,.
covered by a ravine. I ordered them to be at-
tacked ;, my troops crossed the ravine, overthrew
the enemy, and established themselves upon the
rising ground. The Russians retired. Notwith-
standing the difficulti of- the ground, General
Grouchy executed a 'fine charge, v:ith General
(;pastel's division of
.cavalry, Aviro.'at this luozuent
supported the left of the infantry Gen. Grouchy
was slightly wounded.

FOUNDLING UOSPITAL AT 'MOSCOW.

This -celebrated Hospital, the Steward of which,
as Lord Cathcart states in his recent dispatch,
was " the Most eminent Public Functionary found
in the city," .by the:Gallic incendiaries, was the
'noblest and most Complete 'institution of the kind
in Europe : it was founded by the renowned Em-
press Catherine,. in 1764 ; an immense pile of ,
,building of a quadrangular shape, and calculated:. -
to contain and accominodate 8,000 fonndlings.—
The utmost privacy and freedom prevailed in this
institution ; candies were placed during the night
in nicheS in different partS of the building ; in these
the infants Were secretlydep.osited and bells rung,tlie
• bringers immediately retired, and the childeren were •
speedily taken into .the house. It was also at the
option of mothers to contem' be•delivered pri-
vately in the house ; no questions were ever
asked, and every proper care and attention was
paid to her ; the infant was left, and considered
as the child of the State. Those were taken the
greatest care of, and at the age of fourteen they
had the liberty of chusing .any particular branch-
of trade, and for this purpose, different species of
manufactures were established in,the llQspmtal
When they had gone through a certain appren-
ticeship, or about the age of twenty, they. were
allowed the liberty of setting up for themselves, a
sum of money was bestowed upon each foundling'
for that purpose, and they were permitted \to carry
on trade in any part of the Russian Empire. A
very considerable privilege in a country Where
the peasants are slaves, and cannot 'cave their vi-:
loges without the permisson of, their masters.—
This admirable and incalculably useful institution
was in a great degree supported by voluntary
contributions, legacies, &c. to encourage which
the •Empress granted to all 'benefactors -some va-
luable privileges in proportion to the extent of
their liberality, and a private merchant, named
Dimdorf, expended on this . institution . sums
mounting to nearly 200,000/. Ivis remarkable
that not the least mention of the imperial
Founnling Hospital is made- in any of the French
accounts, which we rather imagine is a tearful
symptom of its destruction by these ruthless bar-
barians.

A plan is in contemplation for • the greater im-
provement of the road from, the central parts of
the Sussex coast to the metropolis, forming- a
junction, of the different lines to avoid hills, and
shorten the distance from five to seven miles :- at
the same time to connect the cross- roads, and
form the military route.
Wednesday morning,- S. Poole, a -Mason, of
Taunton, having quarrelled with his. wife, who
had not then risen from her bed, proceeded to
strike her, and on the second blow deprived her of
life. A coroner's inquest been held on the
body ; when the verdict of the -Jury was, that the
deceased expired in consequence of, blows given
her by her husband, but not from‘ma/imprepense.
He has since been committed to Ilehester , gaol,
to take his trial at the next assizes for the county.
