we do not pretettd to vouch.

P/HUS, Nov. lc

EXTRACT (W A PRIVATE LETTrK:

" Several Letters from our Armies speal of the
great, treasures seized by our Officers and 'men in
.the Hereditary States of Austria ; an indifnrent
consolation for the general penury experienced here
ainong all classes of People. For the first timu
since BONAYARrE's reign, the payment of. Salaries
of his Senators, Legislators, Br.c. are suspended.--:
It is, however, said, that, among other conditions,
be intends to extort from the Emperor of GER-
MANY a pecuniary contribution of a 'Milian of iivres,
42,0001001.; never could such a sum of money ar-
rive more a-propos. The bankruptcies are more nu-
merous here within three weeks than during the
three preceding years.
When BONAPARTF. was infoimed of the defeat
of VILLENEUVE, h flew into one, of thme fits of
passion which always disgrace a .Hero more than ;.:11
individual. Several Conners were immediately dis-
patched with orders, which pew orders were alte;ed
or changed. it is said, 'that be sent commands to
GANTHEAtthiE instantly to 'revenge with the Brest
Fleet the disasters of the Toulon Fleet; and that
13Earartn alone, aftqr many rebukes, at last pre-
vented.. by hi entrewies, no event which, pro!n..
bly, might have given.the death-blow to our Military
Nary for half a century to come.
le As soon as Tiu`.'lrAßTE, after a triumphant en-
try at Vienna, has returned, to Munich, a curious
Manifesto will be published, in which TALLEYRAND
convinces all Europe of the moderation of his Master,
by his aim at Peace."

It is said that a curious etiquette has been found
necessary to prevent all .c/isrord at the Opera-house.
In the
.bills of one day, it seems, DittiNoToN'i
name is to, be mentioned, but net CrItASSINI.--iik
those of the following•day Oa Assim 's, but not t
; and the alledged reasmi is, that neither
should be held 'forth: as the Chia, Singer. But
whatever may be the merits of GnAssm, there can
be little dotibt 'that the'palni of music must he as-
.
signed to our fair CountryWotitan.
As Mrs.. „BlLt.ttio.rorr really means to retire from
public life. at the end of theensuing Operatlc season,
she is fairly intitled to the compliment implied in the
words of Vora

" —Wisdom's triumph is well-timid
.retreat,,
As hard a science to the Fair as Great."
ON Tuesday night a melancholy accident !IV-
pened at Mr. Elliot 's itz.w-Itouse, in Pimlico. Wm.
Bellinger, the storekeeper, was unfortunately drown-
ed, and scalded to 'death, hi the hot vat of heen...:.
He was missing four hours, and WAS at last disco-
vered by his lanthorn, -which was close to the vat.
It is supposed he was gattaing the beer, and unrore
unately fell; in. No person was ocar to give Mai
assistance. He has left a' family of '6i . children to
lament his less.

11149SLIN SOLDIERS.

We copied the other Oay, from the Moniteur of
the 17th ult. a correspondence said tohave been in-
tercepted by the advanced posts of the French Army.
We insane& it to 4hew• the miserable and paltry
• tricks and artifices to which BoN. Ara UTE has recourse;
for every one Will, see that the correspondeuce was.
not intercepted by the French advanced posts,. but
fabricated at Part's, for gte purpose of inculcating a
batted of the Russian troops. They are represented
aS savages, as guilty of the ,iriost atrocious ads of
robbery and murder, committing every disorder,
subject to no 'discipline, and, pereet barbarians.
.130NAPARTE'S object is obvious : his very abuse
proves the terror the French feel atthe Russians,
whom • they 'know. to be capable of contending
with thew, both in numbers and bravery. He
cannot attack them iu their own Country,; but he
dreads being attacked by them. lle,Wishes to in-.
dispose the European rowers against applying to
them for assistance against France.repre-
' kmts them as' savages, because he feels that these
$lOllO3 are excellent Troops, and, perfeelly able
to cope with any he,can bring against them.--L-
-lie:tee-Is that the Russian? are almest the only Na-
tion to which civilizedEttrope can look for deliver-
ance ; it is this unciVilized part of, Europe, this
horde of barbarians,tas he chard ieriies them, that
can save,and we hope Will save, Europe from the iron
yoke of those who call themselves eivili-ited and en-
lightened, but 'l/4v.ho never 'fail to prove themselves,
every country ctirsed by their presence, cruel,
bloody, and ferocious, • .
it:belongs, in,i,jed, to: those who suffered them-
sclves to t,.', the instruments of Ros-ttsrirotst to call

conatnitted such horrid excesses in Hanover, to
inveigh against the Russians as barbarians ! What
