2. SIERRA LEONE.

The situatiod of Sierra Leone has been ex-
tremely well.chosen; and although, in common
With every other part of thiS coast, its climate
is veryinimical to an European constitution, vet
it may be safely asserted, that it is far less so_ than
any other place in the whole of. this long range
from. Senegal to Benin, with the sole exception of
Goree and the vicinity of Cape Verd. But the
country any where about Goree, besides other ob-
jections, placed as -it is in a remote corner of the
extensive regions with which a more immediate
communication was neCessary in order to effect
any godil, could never answer in. the least the be-
nevolent purposes •for which Sierra Leone Was
principally founded. More fertile si could
deed have been easily.founil; but so low (where
otherwise eligible) that it would have been u.n
. hazardous experiment to place- an European Co-
- lony on any of them. Bulatna may be an excep-
tion ;. for as to the unhappy conclusion
~of that-
undertaking,lhe same sort of people; idle, unruly,
and utterly unfit for such an arduous enterprize,
would have perished equally at Sierra Leone, and
even under much more favourable circumstaneeS,
Would have battled all the astonishing exertions of
their leader, Captain Beaver, for their welfare and
preservation.
" The peculiar and very oppresive diffieul!!cs
with which this colony has had to coute,l,d; com-
bined with the nature of the soil, and the scan-
tiness and indolence of the population, have hi-

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1812.

We have this day tii►e satisfaction of laying
before our Readers, the 211 Bulletin of-the French
Army. It is tlated Moscow, the 27th inst. and
does not contain one single Avorirkif inforMation.
The French army, it seems, is-'resting after its fa-

guo,--. amid the ruins of Moscow, where'lluONA-
r.kr...iE, says, be hasfound soine sugar and some futSa

e,boweyer, assures the lieoule of Franee , that the
•
.v.-..ather is still fine, though they have had sonic
r 1:n and wine. frost. :BUONAPARTE does not talk

Cirf.".1..1-4); his op rations, nor does he say he
tends that his army should winter at Moscow ;, in a
,
v ord, all that we can collect from this-Bulletin is,
t'vtt the French army has remained completely in-
a tive since it entered MOSCOW.. Some of the

o:rcial articles: in the French ',rapers contain flat-
Gring, accounts, of .the situation of thy French
army, of the abundance of provisions with' which
it is supplied, &c. but upon 'this essential point,'
the 22d Bulletin preserves a profOund si-
lence. Upon' the whole, the opinion which we
.haye ventUred to express, respecting the critical
and dangerous' situation Of the French 4rmy, is
considerably strengthened by this Bulletin. The
10th of October was. the period, beyond which
BUONAPARTE told us, some months ago, the cam-
_
paign could not continue 3 that penod has ar-
rived, and we find the French Army in pos-
session, it is true, of the ruins of the .an-
,
-dent capital of the Russian Empire 3, but the
Russian armies are Still • unbroken, the spirit
ofthe Emperor is, unshaken, the patriotism 9r the
people animated to the
.highest pitch,. and the
communication of the French army with the fron-
tiers is nearly cut off : there does -appear to us,

therefore, the strongest ground to tope, that tlic
tertniYiation oF this cativaign will be not oaly fa-
vourable to the Russians, but to the iiidepen-
dence of Europe.
The French Papers which contain the Bulletin
are to the 18th instant ; they arrived last night.

It was this morning reported, that a vessel had
arrived from Corunna, and that she brought
an account that Bargos ,still held out on the
15th. •We have made every inquiry that we
could 'upon the subject; bat we have not been,
able to trace the report to any autlkeutic source..

it was very confidently asserted this morning-,
that accounts had been reccited of the capture of
Smolensko by the. Russians ; no official intelli-
gence to that effect has been received_, but we think
such an event highly proba,ble.

- Orders have beep given :for all the dispOsable
ships of the line, now in the different ports, to be
fitted for sea 4ithout delay, and proceed immedi-
ately to the
Mr. PETRIE, lately. first in Council at Madras,_

Major-General WitnE-itbas beep removed from
the Staff, in North Byitain, to the Eastern Dis-
trict, and appointed to command the Brigade at
Woodbridge, in Suffolk. •
A regimental depot, for the 89th Foot (Lord
Lindsay's regiment) has been ordered to be esta-
blished at Trowbridge, in-Wiltshire.- •

Several of the Contributors of Addresses to the
Drury-lane Committee have presented their re-
specti•ve compositions through the medium of the
public prints, and front all that have hitherto ap-
peared, tiley have vindicated the preference given
to that of Lord ByRoN.

Anew regulation, it seems,' has taken place at
Drury-lane Theatre,, excluding all persons from
the Orcen-rotirn but those who go there actually
,npan buSThess: This may be a very proper mea-
sure to prevent au influx of loungers , but in the
time of GARRICK, who will not, ',perhaps, ever be
equalled as a Manager, as well as,an Actor, the
Green-room was the resort of the wits of the tine,
and if they had interrupted business, be would
soon have put an end to their visitations.

It seerns to be doubtful whether Mrs. JORDAii
is engaged this season at Drury-lane or Covent-
garden Theatre, and,..according to report, the
Managers of both are resolute in their preten-
tious.

The theatrical entertainments in the private
theatre.at Kilkenny, which had been discontined,
and were not expected to be renewed, were ye-
snmed ,a few days ago with the comedy of The
Poor Gentleme4 and the farce of high Life below
Stairs. An occasional Address, written by Sir R.
LANGRISHE, Bart. was spoken by Mr. R. POWER,
one of the Ainatelii• Performers. Report speaks
highly of the performanee altogether, and the-re-
sumption/of these entertainments is likely to ,be
very benehcial to the town, in rendering it a scene
of attraction to the Nobility and Gentry of it e-
land. '

It is said that a daughter of JEANIAQUES Rous-
SEAL/ lately died in France, after leading the life
of a courtezati.' The principles incolcaled by her
supposed father were very well calculated to dis-
pose her to such a career.

HORRID MUTINY SUPPRESSED, AND INTENDED

MASSACRE PREVENTED

Within a few days previous to the departure of
the Doris from Madras, intelligence reached that
Presidency of a dangerous mutiny, for the mast
fell and sanguinary purposes, having been newly
detected at Travancore: Two of the native corps,
making part of 'the Subsidiary Force of that king-
dom, bad for a long time meditated, as it appears,
the butchery of their immediate European Officers,
and had concerted and brooded over the means,
and'had appointed the very time of carrying them
into effect. It Was proposed at first to surround
and massacre their unsuspecting and,unoffending
superiors, While they s.hould'be assembled, at an
entertainment given to them by Lieut.Xolonel
Munro, the Britiish
_Resident at that Court.--
Their ultimate intent, as since 'discovered, was
to assist the Pychee-Rajah,, a refractory .and de-
posed Prince on the Malabar coaSt, in recovering
his lost Musnud,

On the fitly fixed for the 'entertainment, several
Nairs, who were to participate in the secondary
object, were absent
,from Tra.VanCore,..aud it be-
ing, in consequence, :deemed unsafe or unfit to
cOmmence proceedings without, them,, the con-
san9uat ion of their diabolical intent was postponed
to alime not very 'distant, when a.complimentary
"return was to be made to the Rosident, as hnoWn
to the mutineers, by the Officers of the Subsidiary
Force. Within the interval, however, a full dis-
.covery of the treachery was made by a confidential
Sepoy to the Adjutant of the Pith native batea-,
lion 5, when prompt and instant measures were
adopted to defeat, the conatemplated mischief.—
The ringleaders-we:fe seized without lOss* of time,
•and as, in revolts of this nature, sutuniary and
immediate punishment is most striking and t„alu-
tary, two of the Native Officers, a Jemidar and,
Havildai:, Who were principals in the mutiny,
'were selected from the rest, and, under the orders
of.Lieutenant-Colonel H. Hall,
scotnmunding the
Subsidiary Force, were blown fr'om a gun, in
front of the troops, drawn up in line to witness
tiieii well-deserved end Seven Nairs and 'Faquirs
were some days afterwards' hung-, their -guilt
having been
,pre.yiouslyinvestigated ana.aSeer-
tabled by the ordinary course of proceedings on
the sp.ot; . •
These seasonable punishments are said to have
suppressed the spirit of mutiny, and all was appa-
rently, and we hope positively, quiet at the date
of our private accounts,

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.

Moscow, SECT: 22'.--4:trder is et laSt re-esta-
blished- in this city; The Marshal Duke of Tre-
viso is named Governor of Moscow and the Pro-
vince, and General Milhaud Commandant of. the
City.. The -to-sl•ri was divided into 20 quarters.; this
division remains, and, each quarter has a special
Commandant. Much has been said of a militia of
peasants which the Russian Government had form-
ed : scarcely has it been able to assemble, wale •
thou,sands of men. ,We have talien.a.certain number
of them dying with hunger and lassitude: They say
they were driven on like a drove of cattle. igot-
withstanding all that has been done to rouse these
men, they did not, succeed in re:eh:ring them fa-
natics. They, every where'threw away the pikes
with which they were armed, and only demand-
ed to return to their villages: Their uniform
consists of a bit of copper, attached to their
caps; which represents an A surmounted with
a Greek cross. This mark upon the heads of
the- recruits, reminds us of the manner in which
horses, some years ago, were raised in France. The
letter A or AT was placed upon the head to indicate
,that they belonged ,to-the artillery or provisions.
This comparison is but just, fur here they esti-
mate men but as certain animals, and • one may ,
easily obtain several, men for one horse. The
young men of ~I.lloscow • were formed into small
companies of grenadiers and chasseurs, and in foot
and 'mounted cossacks : they had the inclination,
but not the power td, fly. We took some of them
every day.

GALICJA• (LEMEERG),- •OCT. 1.-The corps of
the Russian army, 'commanded by General Count
De,Wittgensteini ,whichhad Jhe charge of defend-
ing the road leading to St.Petei.shurgh, is making
dispositions for a retreat. There was placed be-,
fore Borobrinsk, 'on the right wing ofthe French.
,grand army, a Polish 'corps, which'served to keep
a check on the Russiaircorps d'armeeundeFthe
command of General? Ertel. There is in Lithtra:-
nia.a Polish corps Of •:15!;000' men, infantry, ,and.
4000 cavalry. From the 10th to the 20th of Sep7
tember, 19,000 men have paSsed through ‘Vilna
tb join.thegranaarmy. See in what Manner one
obtains knowledge of the r-roat events that are
pasging.. The plan of' the Russian campaign ,was,
drawn up by 'General fihul, Who was *t that time
in thwrrussianihritice. According to this plan,
the Russians otiht, Without engaging, to have
retired. to the .banks Of Tie Dwina,' which were
fortified. Dina,buna:botirg, and the entrenched
camps on theDrissa, were the points on which
the army_wa§ to bear.' The movements of the
Prench army dicl not at 'all'harmonize with the
plan adopted by Ale Aussians. Instead of march-
ing toWard:,'. St. Petersburgh, as all the Russian
Generals expected, the Emperor Napoleon ap-
peared to menace the city' of Moscow, and the
most fertile-provinces Of Russia. The two prin-
cipal Rtissian-m-mieS, were separated, and every
one blaMed the plan of operations that had been ,
adopted: The Emperor. of Russia yielded to the
representations of the great majority'Of the offi-
Cers; and General Phut was dismissed from the
:army,
,General Barclay de Tony then Construct-:
ed a new.plan.. The two armies were to f•einfite
at Smolensk°, where .they were to act-upon the
offensive,. ,This junction was, effected' at Smo-
lensk° on the 2d of August; but, the French Mo-
narch knew how to render this new plan of ope-
rations ineffective.
,The Generals believed. the
•French to be still on the banks of the Dwina,
whilst 'they appeared at•Witepsk, and afterwards
at Smolensk°. The offensive plan necessarily be-
came A plan of defence., The battle of :INioskwa,
and the taking of-Mokow, were the consequences
of
.the system equally happily conceived as pro-
foundly executed by the Emperor of the French.
The taking of 'this capital must make a terrible
impression on the Russian nation.
HERIVIANST.ADT, 14.---The roads of Tran-
sylvania are putting in repair in the greatest
haste; and large magazines are establishing im
that province. Entrenchments are likewise throw-
ing up on the frontiers of Wallachia.
detach,ments destined to reinforce the Aus-
trian auxiliary corps have , received orders to take
the shortest route, which passes through the city
of Lemberg.
VIENNA, OCT. s.—According to the accounts
from hai'est, which may be credited, it is
stated, that the Ottoman Porte hascauSed a num-
ber of the troops of the army of, the Danube,
,to
March into. l'iloldavia and Wallachia.

,An epidemical ,sickness has appekred at Odessa,l
in many of the vessels coming from .the LeNq.nt,
and it was soon recognized as. living the. plague.
The Duke de Richelieu, Gdvernor of this city,
has officially announced 'to the Divan, that the
malady, is not so bad as it was.;at first represeutt.
He has, nevertheless, caused a cordon of
troops to be drawn round Odessa - ; and has given
orders,. that all persons landing shall. perform
a quarantine of 15 days. On' the frontiers of Au,.
stria precautionary measures are taken. as ustiai in
similar chss., •

The. latest inteliigence from the auxiliary corps
state, that the Russians 'continue ,to entrench
themselves behind the river Sty,.. They have
there formed formidable redoubts, and it appears
to be their intention to keep them during the
winter; meanwhile ,several combats of the ad-
vanced guards occasionally happen between both
parties, but which lead to: nothing decisive. The
Prince of Schwartzenberg is in expectation of
Considerable reinforcements, which ought at this
moment to have joined hith, and it is believed
that it is his intention then to attack the Russians.
The Polish corps under Generatlicsinsky, which
is attached to the Austrian-Saxon army is
wise\receiving reinforcements. The communica-
tions. of the army with Lemberg, Warsaw, and
the other points of the. Polish and Austrian fron-
.,tiers, are thoroughly established, We know, as
a positive fact, that the French and Polish corps
have driven away the Russians who came into the
environs of BObrinsk ; that in the mean while
nothing prevents tbe operations of the siege ;
that the place is very nearly closed in, and that
it *ill be very difficult, for' t to make a long re-
sistance.

It is presumed that the French corps under the
command of the Marshal Duke of Benun°, which
has passed through Suiolensko, will advance to
the Upper Dwina, to act in the rear of the army
'of the Prince of 'Wittgenstein. ;In, all the pro-
vinces of Poland which were under the Russian
dominion, battalions and regiments are continually
raising to reinforce the Polish army. Lithuania
is making the greatest efforts.

[FURTHER EXTRACTS.)

AUGSBURGH, OCT. S.—There are forming in
Lithuania five regiments of national infantry of
3000 men each, and four regiment's, of cavalry of
1000 each, without reckoning the battalions of
ehasseurs and the corps of volunteers.

A second army of reserve, commanded by Mar-
shal the Duke CASTIGLIONE, 60,000 strong, co-
.
vets the 'coasts between the Niemen and the Oder.
Troops destined to complete the different corps

ten, we have sen, to the number of 19,000, pass

• This 'corps, composed of a force of from 45 to
50,00 p men is ready to act on every point, and

Persons who do not. well understand the course
of events, cannot explain how this active state of
things could be hi ought about by the loss of the
single battle of the 7th Sept. and in the short in-
terval of three month's: '

The Java. frigate, Captain the Hon. W. Gait-
DON, is under orders to proceed inunediately with
dispatches for India, and will sail on Monday
next, if possible. General Hisi.or goes out in
the Java, which, we understand, touches first at
Bombay, and in succession at the other. Presiden-
cies and naval stations in the Indian seas. The
Maitland country ship, it is expected, will be,
dispatched at the India House on Tuesday, and
sail' for Madras in the course of the ensuing.
week.
The under-mentioned ships, outward-bound,
which sailed from Madeira; the 14th JUne last,
were, on the 11th July, in lat. 3. 46. N. long.

A very fine Indiaman, callAs the Lord

amidst the joyous acclamations of .-an admiring
crowd, among whom were several persons of dis-

We have authority to declare, that. the para-
graph which appeared in the Morning Chronicle of
the 19th inst.'stating that, " the Friend who sub-
scribed .30,000 towards Mr. Lascelles' Election,
proves to be Lord Harewood," is utterly false. •
The autumnal allowance of ammunition for the
exercise and practice •of regiments of infantry,
now in the course of delivery, consists of ten
rounds of ball cartridges, and twenty rounds of
blank cartridges, for each soldier bearing arms. .
A Spanish Officer, who has arrived from the
head-quarters of BUONAPARTi, describes the si-
tuation of the French troops as. in several re-
spects 'extremely critical. He admits the truth of
the assertion, that the Spaniards and Portuguese
led on the attack at S►noiensko, but he says they
were followed close in the rear by thirty-five
pieces of. artillery, • which would have. destroyed
them had they disobeyed. He says, that the bri-
gade to which he belonged, when it entered Po-
land, was 2500 strong, and thatbefore he effected
'his escape, by desertion and the sword, it was re-
duced to 400.

cutor, amounting' in value. to 13241. 2s:. 4d. A

fidential servant, ,was sent to receive the nibney,
when ,Sir Francis gave him an order on Coutts'a'
housefor the amount. •On-his return; lie observ-
ed, that the worthy Baronet's ;connection with
Mr. Coutts had taught him the value of.money, as
a. proof 'of -whia he• had deducted GS/. from his
bill, as discount. This was credited 'by the prose-
entor,: and the matter passed over, until circum-
stanoes.occurred Which raised suspicion ;' the pri-
soner was apprehended, and taken before a Magis-

soner. was fully, committed for trial. • . •

CooKE, the Actor, it .is said, has fallen a
victim ,to the dropsy in New-York.. We regret
the loss of this Actor, who possessed aconsiderable
tihate of merit in his way, and wail) if he had
.conduCted. himself prudently, might long have
enjoyed life, to the gratification of the public; and
to hiSOw:n credit. As it is, however,_ we may ex-
press our wonder, •as • the celebrated HENRY
FIELDING, who...died of the same disorder, did
towards his.last moments,-,who sin!), it was sur-
prising that so mitteli water shouldihe foupid in „his
body, as he had never put any there.
