'THE long. established reputation of Dr. NORR I6's
1- DROPS, having Induced a mercenary attempt to intrude on
the Public a spurious imitation, the tole Proprietor of the Genu-

rous effects of such an imposition. A slight attention to the duty
stamp on each Bottle of the Genuine Preparation, which bath the
name " Thomas Norris Moore" engraved in it by favour of
Government, solely and purposely to guard this invaluable Me-

sequences of counterfeit intrusions.
The corcEsi virtues of these Drops are adapted to all climes and

the Yellow or Putrid, so destructive in the West Indies and Arne-

PRINCE OF WALES'S ISLAND, MARCH 26.

- - -
The fire which broke out on Saturday last, at the
bakehouse of Low Ammer, unfortunately consumed
more European property than we recollect to have
been destroyed by fire since the establishment of this
settlement. It was occasioned, as we understand,
by the carelessness of some of the people employed
in heating the ovens ; and, from the dryness of the
materials of which the premises were composed, in a
short time, the whole was in flames, which almost im-
mediately communicated to the premises occupied by
Mr. Rodyk, Police Officer, and some Chinese shops,
at the corner of the street ; the whole at one time
exhibited the most awful spectacle ever witnessed on
the island. Fortunately, the wind was light and
southerly, or those valuable and extensive premises,
belonging to Mr. Douglas, must inevitably have been
destroyed, and probably communicating with the
Agent Victualler's Stores, endangered the whole
town, there being, as we learn, near 300 casks of
spirits on the premises.
Too much praise cannot be given to the men from
his Majesty's ship Bombay, and the soldiers belonging
to the garrison, for' their exertions in stopping the pro-
gress of the fire.
The damages sustained by the above accident are
estimated at 20,000 Spanish dollars. Fortunately no
lives were lost. •

GOTTINBURGELMAILS..

" GOTTENBURGH,' OCTOBER 2.5 r
Lettecito4V-6V'th e, 10th of October, say,
that the Emperor AlifinsTer was expected there every.
moment, loai:leraithiniesents of carriages and dif.
fetent tops, which he 'had hoed from Boniparte :
...
the result of the conference. is yei known.
" Head quarters, Lamland:•Octobefl 6.
44 His Royal. Majesty has received the follOWing
report from" Field Marshal Count Klingspor, dated
Knopio, 30th'September, touching the retreat-of the
whole Northern, and. part .of the Southern Finnish
army, from their positions near Lindulax, Koustane,
Ismalo, and Loppsgerd to Kelu io and Kankobridge,
north-about Old Carle ,by
" Head-quarters, I.ochto, September 30.
" The Northern Finnish army had advanced from Wasa,
agreeably to the concerted-plan, in order to combine, if possible,
the operations with those of his Majesty's troops, who were to
penetrate from Sweden into South Finland. But this plan having
been altered in consequence of several circumstances, which un-
expectedly took place, and the enemy every where being consi-
derably reinforced, he began to act offensively. Relying on t!,le-
gallaiatry which the army under my command ha4l constantly
displayed, I endeavoured to maintain a position which covered
the most fruitful part ofEast Bothnia, although my line of ope-
rations and defence extended from I.indulax and Omyssa to
Lappfjerd nearly twenty-eight miles. The enemy commenced
his offensive operations with an attack on Karstula and Lindidax,
inishich he succeeded on account of his vast superiority in num-
ber, and forced the detachment commanded by Lieutenant-Colo-
nel Fiend to fall back to Old Carleby.
" General Uschakoff attacked afterwards Kauhajocki im the
26th August, but was repulsed, notwithstanding his force was
far superior to ours. On the 39th August Lappfjerd was at-
tacked by Scheppeleff, who was also repulsed ; but in the mean
time a considerable Ressian corps assembled near Alawo, at least
to seven or eight thousand men strong, under the orders of Ge-
neral Kamensky and Rajessky, which attacked our position near
Kowstane three successive days, viz. the Slat of August, Ist and
2d of September, without the enemy having been able to corce
our above position. But in consequence of his having received
very considerable reinforcements, he puphed on to Kauhajocki,
by which movement the communication between Lappo and
Lappfjerd was cut off:: and as, according to a report received
from Major Baron Vegesack, the enemy was also advancing with
considerable reinforcements against I.appfjerd, it appeared dan-
gerous to me to let the army remain any longer in its extensive
position, and I accordingly gave orders to retreat. This retrograde
movement, in sight of an enemy vastly superior in number; and
from a position so very extensive, was not easily effectid.
" The enemy having already made demonstrations against Old
Carleby, and it appearing hazardous to me to give battle before
all the detached corps should have joined the main body, I endea-
voured, by various raanceuvres, to promote that junction, while
all the different troops belonging to the army under my command
continued to fall back. Baron Vegesack's corps joined the main
body on the 11th near I.illkyro, and Wasa was evacuated ; the
enemy bad pushed on as far as New and Old Carleby, and closely
pursued our troops. On the 17th the army put itself in motion
from New Carleby, in sight of the enemy, and took up on the
21st the position near Kanko Bridge, which it still occupies, and
which secures its communication with the troops who are acting
in the environs of Sawolax.
" Your Royal Majesty will graciously be pleased to perceive,
by the circumstance above stated, that this retreat was not only
unavoidably necessary, but that it was also performed with great
correctness, order, and success, not a single piece of cannon, am-
munition-waggon, or provision-cart having been lost during the
whole of this long retrograde movement, in sight of an enemy
far superior in numbers. (Signed) MAURICE K LIN s rim."

FROM THE HAMBURGH PAPERS.
BANKS OF THE ELBE, OCTOBER It!.
Neither the Archduke Charles of Austria, nor the
Grand Duke of Wurtzburgh, went to the congress at
Erfurth.
Some private letters from Paris state, that Napoleon
has assured some high Officers of State, prev►ous to
his departure for Erfurth, that the golden age should
commence with the year 1809.
OCTOBER 21. _ _

In Oldenburg, some letters for England have been
intercepted by the French and Dutch Authorities ;
and as lately some papers, containing interesting de-
tails from Spain and England, have been circulating,
the French agents redouble their vigilance to prevent
the truth from transpiring, whence it is with great
reason inferred by many that the Spanish concerns
must be desperate. The Danes gave no credit to the
glorious accounts lately sent by the English in an
open boat to Denmark ; the papers that were found
on board the vessel were immediately destroyed by
order of Government : thus the Continent remains in
the profoundest ignorance of the events that ought,
by no means, to be concealed from the public. It
would be of infinite service if some English literary
men would write a short chronicle of all public events
of historical importance, which have happened since
the rising of the Spanish Patriots, and to- trndeavour
to get such a work, with the notes and dates of their
official authorities, circulated, in the French, Ger-
man, English, and Italian languages, wherever it is
practicable, on the Continent, in order to deliver the
nations from the total darkness which France keeps-,
every where, spreading over them.
It is furthet circulated, that a British army has. de-
feated the army of Italy and Naples in,Calftlria,- and
!s on its march against Naples.Erfutifig tbe nitir
mate result of the Congress at not a syllable
has been made public.

IWIIMAR, OCTOBER 3.
A Courier expedited to the Archduke Charles of
Austria, has passed through here, and last night a
Russian Courier rassed through this place from Er-
furth to Vienna.—( Corrapondint.)

VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 28.
A Courier arrived here on Sunday from Constan-
tinople, with intelligence that the Grand Vizier,
Mustapha Baraictar, has called upon all the Gover-
nors and great men of the Ottoman Empire, from
Asia, Syria, &c. to deliberate with them upon the
means of averting the dangers that threaten the do-
minions of the Porte.—(Nero Zeitung).

NAPLES, SEPTEMBER 21.
The satisfactory reports which have reached Naples,
respec ting the perfect tranquillity that reigns in the
country have determined his Majesty to suppress the
military commissions which, unfortunately, circum-
stances had rendered necessary, at Gaeta, Agula,
Chien, Avelino, Fuggio, Bane, Cattanzaro, and Reg-
gio. This new trait of generosity on the part of the
King has inspired the greatest confidence. Every
thing leads us to hope that nothing will henceforward
trouble the peace and good harmony which exists in
all the provinces, as well as in the capital.
