to-day, and Nvhich are certain and authentic, there
remains no loafer limy doubt, but that a few in-
igniticant bands of roaming cossacks commit,.
indeed, some ravages beyomL.the Vistula, but can-
not in the least endanger the safety of the city of
Warsaw 3 and the reinforcements which, arrive
here from day to day will very shortly change the
aspect of affairs. Suppress, then, those false and
useless,rnnionr.:, and give no dredit to them. The
Supreme Government of the country, watches,
and will, ne, cease to watch over the pros-
perity of the city, as well as that of the•whole
country.

t7TANISLAUS POTOCKI, President."

Troops are daily passing through this city, and
we daily expect more. Some days ago, we, had
here.- a division of heavy horse, a battalion of Ve-
lites Under Prince Borghese, and a "division of
ll(lssars''ariCl Cuirassiers ; likewise yesterdaya corps
3000'infant:ry. All these were proceeding to
the gri.nd army. . _ •

VIENNA, Oc'r. 20.—1 t is said that four, regi-
ments have, received orders to reinforce Prince
,zi•chwartzetillero- •
PESTH, OCT. S.—The ,regiments of infantry
under Bellegarde and Strauch are to march front
hence ;and Ofen to-Gallicia., The Frimont regi-
ment of Hussars from the circle. of Seine is
Anarehing in the same direction: •
We have a report that recruits to the amount of
,twenty-five thousand are going, to be levied in
11UPgarv..
VIENNA, ,OCT. 14.-7-There is every reason to
-suppose that we shall take a more active share in
the war than we have done hitherto. Several
corps are. ntim on their way to join Prince Schwar-
zerkberg, and the troops upon the frontiers of
Transylvaniareceived considerable reinforcements.
}limn Hiller is mentioned as, the General :in
Chief under whose,command this army of ;obser-
vation is to be placed ; and it will,. according to
report, be augmented to the amount of 80,000
men. The Russians are not
,very numerous in
that quaite;-. . ,
• LIAMIWRGH, 'OCT. 18.---lhere have lately ar=
rived here, frOm Copenhagen, two officers, in the
Service of Rance, who were long prisoners of war
in England. They were. then treated: with the
greatest inhumanity. Confined at first in a pri7
:son 'destined for convicts, they remained 22 clays
in a dungeon, where they were refused even straw
to lie iipon. During their passage to. England,
Which lasted twenty.4iine days, the Captain of the
✓essel treated them in the most improper Manner,
giving them only a small quantity of food, and that:
generally spoiled, while the crew *ere well fed.
This was not all ; after •a residence of -some
months in Devonshire, they 'were seized unex-
pectedly, and carried to the Mill Prison, at
mouth, where they remained only four days. They
were then put on board the Romulus, commanded
by Lord Balgonie, who behaved in the most un-
becoming manner towards the French Officer,
He committed all sorts of . excesses, and . even.
went so far as to insult some of them, without
distinction of age or rank. When landed at.Leith.
and its environs, the situation of the prisoners
was somewhat improved. They liVed; on good
terms with the inhabitants, whcim -they-amused
with plays and concerts;
.'out. at last these enter.:
tainments were prohib:,ced,. and the• inhabitants
were desired not to, associate with. the. French,
wllo, it was said, would corrupt English morals. •
The two Offi,,:fcrs lately arrived assure us, that
England. Bever was in so critical a situation as at.
this moment ; a great number of manufacturers,
were without bread. A.fortnight before the de-
parture Of the Officers, tihere was'a serious rising
in Edinburgh ; the. people pillaged the Markets
and the granaries.
CASSEL, OCT.' 17.—Gen:Count Lepel, (one of
the aides-de-camp of the King, commaw!ling the
brigade of Whstphalian cuirassier's, forming part of
the 4th cavalry corps of the •Grand Army, 'died
at Mojaisk, on the 21st ult. of the severe wounds
he received in the battle 01 Moskwa. Colonel
Gilsa, commanding the tst iegiment of the same
cuirassiers] is nlso dead of ,his wounds.
BERNE, OCT. the Swiss battalions,
commanded by Ceneral iielliard, are at present
on the Duna, under the orders of Marshal Saint
'Cyr.
%VILNA, Ocr.-10.—Our Gazette contains the
folloWing declaration, made in the name of M.
D'EngestrOm„ Minister for Foreign Affairs in
Sweden :

FM-nisi:ll with. ftill pOwers froni his Excel-
lency the Count D'Engestrotn, Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs in the kingdom of Sweden, decorated
with the grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour,
and other, Orders, 1' accede in his name to the
confederation of the kingdom of Poland.
lle, who in the years 1789,• 90,, and 91, be-
ing Swedish Minister at Warsaw, gave so many
;proofs of attachment to the PoliA nation, that he:
drew on himself the hatred and vengeance of the
Cabinet•of .St,-Petersburgli ; he, who has consi-
-derea it as the greatest htmour to be admitted
-among the Polish nobility ; be,. who in various

missions from his Sovereign always received the
Poles asjiis countrymen ;_ he, in fine, who. .bad
formed the design of spending the remainder of
biss,life among us, had, not the esteem of his So-
vereign and the wishes of his nation called him to
the eleVated office' which he fills, has doubtless
sufficient recommendation.'"

The following letter from on board the Daphne,
just arrived, gives us reason to expect the imnie-
diate arrival of the Russian fleet, which is known
to have left PetersbUrgh _ _

" Daphne, Nov. S.

'Sir JAMES SAumnizEz, who remained. at Wi ngo
Sound when we left it, would' follOw us ;imme-
diately; and 1 suppoie you- a few days hav'e
the Russian fleet in a British port. it consists of
21 sail of the line, ;besides a great many beautiful
frigates and smaller vessels:
" We have been at Riga; which is uncommon-
ly strong, and well fortified. The inhabitants
are, very much attached to the English, and paid
us great attention, • The suuurbs haVe been bumt
down, Every body is in high, spirits, and conti-
: dent of defeating all the attempts which the French
may make."

It is highly creditable to the liberal feelings as
well as judgment of the Royal Academy, that they
have elected Mr. RAEBURN, of Edinburgh, a
Member of their Institution, amidst so many
competitors in this Metropolis, as it sbews that
they are not influenced by partiality, but impress-
ed by distinguished talents.
It is somewhat ludicrOus that a person lvho
sung a song yesterday at the Surrey armee, given.
in honour ,of Sir THOMAS Tyra~, in delivering
the conClUding words, " this is the Constitution',
placed iii hand upon the shoulder of the Baronet,
an 4 was much applauded. Whatever favourable
notions the friends of Sir Tnom.v3 TURTON may
entertain of his merits, we believe they never be-
fore extended their admiration so high as, to be-
lieve that he unites the powers of " King, Lords
and Commons."

Mr. BROUGHAM considerably lessened his poli-
tical credit by his attack upon Mr.'PITT, and his
declaration that he wished to have it recorded on,
his. tomb, that he was an enemy to that and
upright Statesthan.• Mr. CANNING, .veryr properly,
treated the attack on his late illustrious friend, at
the time wben it- was uttered, with silent con-
tempt, but on subsequent occasions he pronounced
the most eloquent eulogiums upon, the merits and
the services of the departed Minister, avoiding
all reference, however,' to the ahuse which Mr.
BROUGHAM had cast upon his memory,. as wholly
unworthy of notice,. Indeed it would have been
a degradation of the panegyric, if it had contain,.
ed any allusion to suCh unfounded aspersions upon
one of the greatest. and most virtuous men that
has ever been seen in any age or country. •
Wednesday a Court of Directors WAS, held at the
East India House, when the undermentioned
Captains were sworn into the' command of their
respective ships :j--Captain C. 0. MAYNE, :4tias,
Madras and China —Captain H. M. SAmsot.;,
Metcalfe, Madras and Bengal. The Court ad-:
rjourned at six o'clock. till Wednesday next. -
Sunday night, betweet 11 and 12 o'clock, as
Mr. Joshua Harden, of Hichendon, Middlesex,
was returning from the house of a friend at Dorn-
ford, about six miles off, accompanied by Mr Ja-
cobs, in a single horse chaise, the off rein became
undone, and the animal feeling-his head loose went
off at full speed ; Mr. Harden, in attempting to
stop the noise, was precipitated under the wheel,
which went over hii head and .body : no, hopes
are entertained of his recovery. Mr. Jacobs
maiaed in the 'chaise until it *as overturned,
'and brokep into pieces, and escaped with a frac-
tured arm.
