The National Intelligencer says,. that the sntren-
der .of the American; at Queenstown was to be
attributed to the taunt of aniniunitian,, all they hml.
bfought, with them being expended while the
otherjournals assert, 'that Major-General liens--_
selaer" being Informed of the probability of the
American detachment being vanquished, ordered

1200 militia to advance to the assistance of their
comrades, which they flatly refused, and remained.
passive spectators. An arrangement has been made
between General Rensselaer and General :Shea&
for the liberation of all' the.mijiti,a prisOuers, on
parole,Fuot to serve during the Avar•
,The Southern States of the Union are begin-
ningto feel the ravages of war. The 1-p.dians in
their neighbourhood had taken up arms, and'com-
pelled many of the settlers in the.blek country
to quit their habitations. Colonel SMiTIi; Who
was besieging St. Augustine, had in co:)sequenca„
of their' hostilities retired to the block=house on
St. John's. He had failed with loss in one at-
tack. In Georgia, all the regulars and militia
bad been called out; but their numbers being un-
equal to the extrication of Colonel Smith, an or-
der, had been issueil for every third man in the.
state to join the army.

The following extraordinary circumstance took
place on the entrance of the French into Moscow :
The Archbishop, who was in advanced age,
whose character was held in the,highest venera-
tion, and who had composed a prayer which was
Much admired, was in the act of performing
divine service when he. Wits informed that the
enemy had entered the city. He paused for a
moment, crossed himself, and immediately ex-

Ilred. -
As the coachman of Mr. Alderman Wait, of
Bristol, was passing on Wednesday morning last
through a field of his Master's, hear Rennisoi's
Bath, he was attracted by some ravens hovering
over a hedge; where,_ shocking to relate, he dis-
covered tly.. -of two infant children and
part of a .thirtt---supposed to 'be two or three
day) old, exposed by their unnatursi parents.—

An Admiralty Session will be held at the Oh!
Bailey on Wednesday next. The Marquis of
LICO,'WhO is indicted for. a misdemeanour on the
high seas, will be tried. The offence of which
that Nobleman is accused is, we
.believe, persuad-
ing some seamen, belonging tolk.ship of war, to
quit the service, and navigate his 'yacht, which .
was then lying at Malta;
On Wednesday, the 2d inst. as one of the Man-
chester coaches was ..going into Liverpool, at nine
o'clock in the evening, it was'overturned opposite
the Low Hill Coffee-house, owing to the inebria-
tion of the •coachman, by which accident a re-
spectable Gentleman of Oldham was killed, and
several other passengers dreadfully bruised. !
Coroner's inquest has been held on the body,
and a verdict of Manslaughter returned against
the coachman.
As Mr. R. Farey, of Woodhurst, Huntingdon-
shire, and his brother were going on Friday se'a-
night.to dine with a relation at Someisham, they
took their fowling pieces in their hands : on their
way they chanced to start a hare, which Mr. R.
Farey shot at and wounded : running to pick it
up, the animal set off again, on which he called
, out to his brother to fire: but, as the latter, in
compliance with this desire, - was raising the..
'piece to his shoulder (it being already Cocked),
one .of his buttons came in contact with the trig-.
ger,. wizen the piece went off, • and the whole of,
• the charge passed through Mr. R. Farey's left
shoulder, and occasioned his death. It is only.
' a few months since he vas left joint heir with his
sister to the fortune of the 'late Major Richards,
of Brampton: •
