Borissoff pursued the enemy as far is Hallt.'l

Last night *6 received Paris Paperk to the 6th
inst. They bring accounts from tile Seat of War to
the 30th ult. On the 26th the French General
MAISONIS diviSion was surprised by a body of 3000
.horse, and obliged to fall back upon a village. This
was another Cossack Hurrah I we suppose, for they
lost two cannon and three caissons, but not a single
man was taken, killed, or wounded : at least the
French account is silent in these important poiriti.a—
No other affair of importance occurred until the fOth,
when a Prussian and Russian General are said to
hare arrived at the French out-posts, when the Duke
of VICENZA (better known as Caulaincourt, the French
Minister at St. Petersburgh), went to confer with
them. " It is belived (says the French Official state-
ment) that this interview is relative to the negocia-
don of an Armistice."

Now as we know from Sir C. STEWART'S dispatch
that the former applications of the Allies for an
armistice, of which BONAPARTE boasted in the same
way, were thrown into his letter to the Empress gra-
tuitously, to add lustre to his victories—are we not
entitled to suspect that this additional conference is
an episode of similar authenticity ?
But we are strengthened in our suspicions by other
evidence. Mr. ROOSE BOUGHTON, who st as the
bearer of Sir C. STEWART'S Dispatches, brings infor-
mation that, on the 20th ult. previous to the battle of
Bautzen, General LAURISTON presented himself be-
fore General D'YoaK, requesting to be permitted to
pay .a visit to the Emperor of RUSSIA, but General
D'Yoatc, imitating the firm and resolute conduct of
General Kurnsore at Moscow, denied all access to
the Emperor, adding, probably as the deceased Hero
did on that occasion, that they came there to fight
and not to negociate.

Mr. BOUGHTON also states, that on the 24th it was
universally believed at Berlin, that the Austrians had
declared in favour of the Allies; and that, though
the Austrian army was not to be joined to that of the
Allies, yet it was to act in concert. The retreat of
the Allies is supposed to be occasioned more.from
the want of provisions than from the pressure of the
French, which, however, is considerably superior.—
The CROWN PRINCE of SWEDEN was at Stralsund.
His force has been prodigiously exaggerated. It
does not consist of 18,000 men. He is fortifying
himself with great care in Stralsund.
The French Papers state that WurorNsTEm had
resigned the command of the Russian Army in fa-
vour of BARCLAY DE TOLLY. We cannot credit this
story, however, upon such slender authority. They
also contain a long uninteresting dispatch from Ge-
neral Baron FOY, relative to the taking of Castro
Urdiales, the main facts of which are already before
I the Public.

being exceedingly light, and a fine star light night,
the ladies and all the passengers were safely landed,
and an express having been sent off to Matura, noti-
fying the misfortune which had happened, the civil

the paragraph as a most foul libel; not-believing that
any person Whateier, much less a Nobleman; could
be found in this coudtry so bigotted—so lest to every
sense of peace and propriety ; but the fAct has been
again stated in an article which Concludei thus:

till Despotism itself would become a relief from the
horrors of Club Government.—As a sample bf e
protection thus promised us, take the following, froni
the last Belfast Neinaetter received in Town :
Wednesday se'nnight a shocking affray look place
at the fair of Carrokeel, totintY Donegal; between a
party of Orangemen and a party of Ribbonmen, in
which a number of lives were lost. The origin of the
quarrel does not seem to be well understood, it having
been related in various ways ; bite the contending
parties appear to have met with intentions determin-
edly murderous, each having supplied themselves
with arms and ammunition. The Orangemen having
been worsted in the onset, retreated to a village, where
they took shelter in some houses, which their purstier;
set on fire. Driven to desperation, they fired out of
the windows, and killed two of their opponents on the
spot : afterwards they sallied out, with the intention
of saving themselves by retreat, when they stabbed
another (who is now dead), but, being over Powered,
three of them were killed. Thus three of each party
have been killed, and, we understand, a great number
have been wounded."—(Belfast New: Letter.)
To the foregoing we shall add an extract from a
private letter, giving another instance of the blessings
of club•law :

PrbZw, otrinr Is tl nu trivet ttansirion or atr ',reeding incident
'recorded in BONAPARTE'S account of his last battle with the
Allies. The Lowers of pathos elhibked by the dying Duke of
Vattartand his trifler &arid Master, which seemed rather
odd to our. cold-blo,xlel countrymen in a plain prose narrative
(as it t.teosl in the En Llisli newspapers), will appear at once both
Natural and touching,
,when revored, as far us our imperfect
language will permit, to thvir original form. F. S. N.l).

The Duke to the Emperor etrer'd 14 fist,
" Which the Emperor took into his anti then kiss'd.
Said the Duke, with a coolness quite charming to see,
ss The whole of my life I've devoted to thee;
And if for a moment Its loss I regret,
'Tis to think that it aniglit have done more setvice yet."
" Duroc the good Emperor gravely replied,
" Duroc !" there's a life still to come—and he sigh'd—
" Tom are going, I take it, to wait for me there;
AI at some time or other join you, woe der."
t' Aye ! Sir, but some thirty years henee, I rippose,
What you've done all you promise, and drubb'd all your foes.
Sure aria liv'd creature so honest as I !
Unreproach'd by one's conscience, how pleasant to die
My daughter—l leave her to you, mighty Sir;

You, I'm sure, will be always a father to her."
The Emperor, squeezing the Marshal's right hand,
Condescended for fifteen good minutes to stand !
In silence to stand—nor a syllable said—•
His hand all the while was supporting his head.
The Marahal at last had the courage to say,
al Ah, Sire ! this sight gives you pain—go away !"
His Majery heard him quite calm to the end,
And all be could say was—" Farewell then, my Friend !"
On the Duke of Dalmatia he lean'd fur support;.
On his Master of Horse too be lean'd—atid, in short,

And pass'd the whole night by himself in his tent !

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 9.
TYLER V. NICHOLS.

This was an action brought to recover compensa-
tion in damages for a violent assault.
The plaintiff, it appeared, was a gentleman farmer
In the neihbourhood. of Blackheath, and the defen-
dant was a Major in the Marines. In April last, the
plaintiff accompanied by his sister and another Lady,
were passing by the house of Sir John and Lady
Douglas, near Greenwich. 'At the door was the Ma-
jor'on horseback, and in uniform, apparently taking
leave of Sir John and his Lady. As the fore-feet of
the horse were on the pathway, the plaintiff desired
the Major to rein his horse, that the company might
pass, which he promised to do, but which promise he
did not perform. The plaintiff then bowed his head
under. the neck of the horse, and passed, having the
young Lady under his arm, and calling on his sister
to follow them, which she did, after c' nsiderable he-
sitation. When she overtook the plaintiff, whit" had
advanced about twenty yards, she int-rmed him how
much she had been alarmed, when he immediately
• turned back, aed said to the defendant, " If you
were a Gentleman, you would have reined back your
horse, and permitted the Ladies to pass." Major
Nicholls observed, " that the plainta was a d—d
impettinent fellow," and accompanied the observa-
tion by striking him a violent blow with a large stick,
which he had in his hand. The plaintiff reeled back
several paces, in consequence of the violense of the
assault, and then fell to the ground. fie remained
in a state of insensibility for a few minutes, and, when
he was able to rise, he applied to the delead.int for
his a ldress, who said, " you shall- get neither address
nor re-dress from me, except a good horse whipping,
it yi.o are impertinent." Plaintiff then applied to
Sir John Douglas, to know who the assailant was—
but Sir John ref used to inform him, observing, " that
as he had not seen the fracas, and did not know how
it had originated, he did not conceive himself justified
in inn.rferi,ikia •I'he plaintiff at length discovered
that the deiendient was a Major in the Marines, and
immediately brought his action lot the assault.
'I hese facts having been proved by the evidence of
the youag Ladies who were in the plaintiff's company,
at the time the occurrence took place, •
Mr. TOPPING addressed the Jury on behalf of the
defendant. He stated, that by the particular desire
of his client, he would call a witness who was present
at the time the alledged assault tock place. What
that witness would prove, whether it would make the
case better or worse for the defendant, he could not
tell. !fit had been left to his discretion, he certainly
should not lave called a witness ; but as the corn-
naiad of his client was imperative upon him, he was
eblined to pr ceed.
He then called a groom, in the service of Sir John
Douglas, tit ho depassa!, that when Major Nichols was
called upon to rein back his horse, he (the a itness)
waaeloing something to the bridle curb. That the
reason of the detehelaia's not backing the animal was,
because a Greenwich stage was at the moment pas-
sing close behind him ; but, notwithstanding, there
were sufficient room for any person to pass the horse
on the foot-path without danger. That the plaintiff
had proceeded nearly twenty yards, before he retur-
ned to Major Nichols, which he did in a very threa-
tening manner, flourishing his stick across the defen-
dant's face, and exclaiming—" You are no Gentle-
man ! or you would have reined back your horse—
you are no Gentleman !" Oai this defendant let his
cane fall gently on the plaintiff's head. He saw plain.
tit/ sat!: to the ground, and saw some women pick
him up again. He then went into the stable, and wit-
nessed nothing farther.
The two Ladies were again called, and they posi-
tively stated, that the Greenwich stage, alluded to by
the iast witness, did ma pass, till atter the plaintiff had
been knocked down. _ _ _

The ATTOSNEY GENERAL, on the part of the plain-
Off, descanted at some length on the severity of the
assault, which was quite unprovoked, and J.iid pecu-
liar stress on the' I.oliteness and attention which the
female sex were entitled to receive iron those who
were their natural pro'ectors, and• more especially
from Gentlen.eti of the military profession.
Lord ELLENBOROU(iII said, that although there was
so justificaticn, circumstances occurring before or
after might be a mitigation. The defendant had no
sight to be on the foot-path, which ought. is be tree.
It had been stated, that he could nut go back further,
.a account of the Greenwich coach I it was for the

,
Jury to say, whether he waa arttrUlly obstructing it...-
Nothing but necessity could justify him in not making
way for the Ladles. Plaintiff had usedwords, whiCh
it would have been better he had not ; he meant the.
words eg you are no. Gentleman :" but the defendant
was highly reprehensible in using the words IS d—d
liar." It was natural that the plaintiff, having two
Ladies under his care, should be irritated ; and it ap-
p-:.ired that one was k little alarmed : if he bran-
dished his stick, even in a threatening manner, what
followed was very disproportionate to the offence.—
It what was stated by the Ladies as having occurred
after the plaint was knocked down, was 'true, and
which was not contradicted by-the groom, who only
swore he did not hear it, it was a very great aggra-
vation, and the words were neither becoming the
Officer nor the Ce.pltleman.
The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict
for the plaintd.—Damages £lOO.
