OPINION ANT) SENTENCE.

The Court, having considered the charges ancl
evidence in support thereof, the prisoner's refew_se
and exculpatory proof,•and whole proceedings; is
of opinion,

That the prisoner is guilty 'of the first
charge, in so-far as. he preferred charges tenditig
to implicate Captain Stevenscm's character, as au
officer and a gentleman, which charges he after
wards declined to substantiate.

But, though the Court cannot acquit the prt-
soner of great impropriety of conduct in this Rae-
ticular, yet, under all the cireutnstances of the
case, and particularly the see• a illness, under
which he was labouring when he preferred those
charges, the Court cannot consider him guilty; to
the full extent of the charge. • .;
2d, The Court acquits the prisoner of the se-
cond charge.

3d, Otlthe' third charge, 'the Court finds the
•
prisonei guilty of having knocked down and kick-
ed Robert. Wilson ; but, in consequence Of 'the
very mutinous conduct of Wilson, does not think
that the violence used. by the. prisoner amounted
to an offence of the heinoas- nature stated in the
charge.

4th, The Court acquits the prisoner of the 4th
charge; but, at the, same time, feel it their duty to
remark, that the conduct of the prisoner was high-
ly blamable in going so Much in public at a time
when he reported himself sick, and particularly
when he must have known that his Commanding
Oalc' er conceived liiiu to be capable of doing his
duty.

In respect of those parts of the charges, being
in breach of the articlesof war, of which- the pri-
.soner has, been, found guilty, the Court sentences
the prisoner to. be reprimanded in such place and
manner, .and at such time, as the Commander of
the Fares shall be pleased to direct. • -
Lieuienant.7Peneral Wynyard approves and
confirms the opinion and sentence. of the Court,
and directs that captain. Robbins shall be repri-
manded by.the Commanding Ofiicer.of the.Ayr-
shire Militia, in,presence of the officers of that re-
giment, at such time aSMajOr-General Scott shall
.be pleased to appoint; and.the Lieusenant-Gene-
ralfinther.directs, that the foregoing order, con-
taining the opinion• and sentence of the .Cotut,
with his decision thereupon, shall be read at
the head of every regiment and corps in North
Britain.

TUESDAY, SEP'T'EMBER 15, 1812.

'e this morning received the following letter
from our Dover correspondent : '

" Dover, Sept. 14, 1812; 6 o'clock, PM,

" A Danish vessel is just arrived from Calais,
which place she left on. yesterday afternoon, at 4
o'clock. By the passengers who came in' her we
learn, that the 15th Bulletin had been received,
dated the Ist inst. from Russia, which states that
there has been another grand battle between the
two contending armies, in which the French have
again been victorious, the Russians having lost
• • -
15,000 men, among.which were 11 Generals The
battle is stated to have been fought between
Smolensk and Moscow, at a place the passengers
do not recollect.; they also acknowledge that the
French army have lost 800 killed and 1500-Wound-
ed. The above vessel has been two years. in
Frtnce, and is now bound to London."

A letter has also been received at Lloyd's from
Dover, which contains the same account, except
that it states the 'number of the wounded in the
Rend) Army to be 15,000 instead of 1500. We
aie inclined to think that onr Correspondent is
correct; for it is not to be supposed, that if the
killed wvre only SOO, the rounded should amount
to 15,0'0,

We have this day made some further extracts
from the Lisbon Papers. that arrived yesterday.-7.--
The Gazette (published in Madrid immediately
after t1“-• &Torture of the French) contains some
interesting and gratifying details. It appears, from
intelligence which we yesterday communicated to
our readers, that SbuLT had, at last, seen
the necessity Of . endeavouring to form a junc-
'tiop with SUCHET, and that he had begun
his morel: for that purpose. There is, how-
ever, some reason to believe that SUCHET was
too apprehensive for his own.safety, to wait for
the proposed junction; for it is stated in some pri-
vate letters that have been received, that SUCHET
had hiruselfretired, with, all his disposable force,
tg,ooo "infantry and 2000 caVatry, to the r.orth
of the Ely-o: If this be true, Sotyr.T.'s situation
will be a most dangerous one : his first movements
of Course, were ‘vatched by General HILL ; be-
.sides the raising of the siege of Cadiz has set at
'lib .rty a considerable body of troops that was in
that city, which, with the force that was Jandecl in
the Niebla Under. Colonel SKER.RET, the Army un-
'd'er BALLESTER6S, and 'that Under General MAIT-.
LAND, may now all, be employed in -harassing
-SOULT in his retreat,. if he„shoUld be so fortunate
as not to have it intler6Otea. •

His Majesty's ship Goree captured, about the
middle of la:4 month, off Bermuda, an. American
ship and schooner, which sailed from Baltimore
with fifteen privateers, from 14 to 1.6 guns, and
110 to 200 men each. •

• Saturday afternoon the first'division of the Ist
'regiment of Foot Guards -arrived at Portsmouth
from Kn:ghtsbridge barracks, find embarked on
board the fired,. 74, for Spain. The remainder
was to embark on Saturday, on board several
transports, and the whole were yesterday to sail
for Lisbon.

Notice was yesterday given, that no person
would be allowed to embark at any of the out-
ports for Sweden, without first having obtained a
passport for that purpose from the Swedish Am-
bassador in London.

Ili,;'Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT'S war;-
rant for the distribution of the Scheldt prize money
having been obtained on the 'lst instant, the pay-
ments may be expected to commence in the course
of three weeks.

As Mr. COATES is so ready to appear on the
stage for purposes of beneVolence; we think' he
should he invited to per Form for the benefit of
Theatrical Fun 4 of both Houses, as they are both
too heavily burthened to allow that liberal provi-
sion which the Committee would otherwise, no
d:mbt, readily extend to decayed members of the

profession.
Application is to be made to Parliament in the
opening of the Session, for leave to construct a
bridge over the ferry of Conway, where many va-
luable lives are yearly lost, by attempting to cross
it at unseasonable times.

A letter from Serampore, dated March the 12th,
received .September 9, gives an account of a
lip. which broke out in the printing-office, at the

11 at, and destroyed 2000 reanis of English paper
(vAsich wert there worth 50001.), founts of types
in fourteen languages, besides English.—The loss
cannot be less than 12,000/.. and all the literary
labours of the MissionarieS interrupted at once.
