covering the,right flank of the enemy.
',ln this position the army continued until the 25th
April, when accounts were received that the enemy
bad occupied Sawolax with 2500 men, and six pieces
of cannon, and intended, in concert with the troops
st Sckajocki, to attack us. In order to disconcert the
enemy's plans, I immediately made the necessary
position for attack, with an intention to retake Sa-
vvias, and drive the enemy from this advantageous
position : my dispositions were so well executed by
your Majesty's gallant troops under my command,
dust the enemy were driven from Sawolax, and cont.
getely routed, with the loss of 200 men killed and
rounded, and 400 taken prisoners, four pieces of
colon, and two stand of colours ; the latter, Baron
Ramsay will have the honour to lay at your Majesty's
feet (Signed) 44 MAURICE KLINGSPOR."

From Petershurgh we learn, that Baron BUT/BERG
has solicited and received his dismission ' • and Count
Romtnow has been appointed Minister for Foreign
Affairs, retaining at the same time the Commercial
department.
Letters were yesterday received in town from the
Continent, which state, that the Bayonne decree had
been put in full force in all the ports of France ; and
that measures of increased vigour were about to be
adopted, the more effectually to cut off all communi-
cation between Great Britain and the Continent.

Upon the Ath instant an American had contrived
to get out of the harbour of Bourdeaux, but was stop-
Ted at the Tower de Cordon, and obliged to return.
According to accounts from St. Michael, the un-
fortunate Portuguese are coming in numbers to that
island, in order, as it is stated, not only to escape the
rigour of French domination, but to fly from the hor-
rors of famine.

DRURY.LANE THEATRE.—Last night retired from
the stage, full of years and of honours, that excellent
sad respectable actress, Miss Poen. This Lady was
of the GARRICK school, and is recorded with praise in
the Rorciad of CHURCHILL. In the days of that poet,
however, her line of character was that of the lively
gal ; and there are those who recollect to have seen
ha, as he has described her,
" With all the native vigour of sixteen."
Her forte has now been, for many years, the antiqua-
:ed dowager ; and she has long shone with equal
late in both the vulgar and the genteel variety of
that extensive walk. Her best specimens of each of
these excellencies were perhaps her Mrs. Heidelberg,
iithe Clandes:ine Marriage, and her Mrs. Candour, in
the School for Sandal. The first of these parts she
played very seldom, but with such original humour,
:sat we have always been surprized she did not per-
hem it oftener, and could have wished she had favoured
with it once more, before she retired. Her Mrs.
Canelcur was a more frequent exhibition, and here her
ions will be the more severely felt. The future per-
formances, too, of the Ducnna, the Rivals, the School
for Friends, and a hundred other plays, will experience
a painful hiatus, from the absence of her easy and un-
affected humour ; and however well her place may be
Supplied, her talents will not soon be forgotten.
The character in which she last night took her leave
of the stage, was that Deborah Dowlas, the temporary
Jody Der! y of Mr. COLMAN'S Mir at Law, a part
"'inch she chose, perhaps, for its easiness, as Mr.
CAkfinc took his leave of the stage in the light cha-
racter of Don Felix. She played it for the first time, as
Real as the last, and that so well, that we quite forgot
n was the one, and only wished it had not been the
:.her. After this, she came forward in the dress of
Audrey, and spoke a very few lines of farewell in that
character. In these, Miss POPE declared that Audrey
had parted from Touchstone, and was now come to part
With her other friends. She then expressed her thanks
Srt the kindness with which she had always been
treated, and retired amid the loudest plaudits. The
House was extremely full, and the sense of regret
*tined general.
CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MAY 27.—There
are but few fresh arrivals of Wheat to-day, and the
I,l.iPPly at hand short ; there being a demand, sates
fetch rather better prices. In Barley and Malt little
