very soon to be able to act on the offensive.
" Letters from Russia say, that the war is so very pOpular that
there is scarcely a person of any property throughout the Empire
who has not voluntarily contributed very largely to the army.—.A
Lady has raised a corps of 1200 cavalry, and completely equip-

they have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for
embarking."

" ST. PETERSBURGH, AUGUST 18.
" The latest news from General Count Wittgenstein is, that
after the affair of the 31st July, he pursued the enemy, and took
General St. Genie, eight officers and 1000 men prisoners. Our
loss
.has not been small, especially as we have lost General Kull-
nott. General Tormassow entirely annihilated, near Kobren,
the Saxon corps under General Klengel. This day's victory
'has given four colours, eight pieces of artillery, and a great num-
ber of muskets; General Klengel, three Colonels, six Lieute-
nant-Colonels and Majors, 57 Officers, and 2234 men prisoners.
On the field of battle upwards of 1009 men were killed."
By the Gottenburgh Mail which arrived last night,
we have received a Copy of the King of Sweden's
Speech, on the prorogation of the Diet of Orebro. It
furnishes most unequivocal proofs of attachment to
the cause in which Russia and Great Britain are now
embarked, and concludes by announcing the ratifica-
tion of the Treaty of Peace with these Powers.
As specimens of the description of information
which BONAPARTE deals out to his slaves in the North
of Europe, take the following :

" WARSAW, AUGUST 4.

n The Russians forced to abindon their position near
Witepsk on the 26th and 27th July; lost about 10,000 men in
killed, wounded, and prisoners ; among whom are several Ge-
nerals."—Abti/k du Nerd, ihigust 18.

" Our Court Gazette contains Vie following :—• General Ku-

General Witgensteie, on account of the disorders which prevail
in it."--Same Pater.

Government received dispatches this morning from
Mr. THORNTON at Gottenburgh, dated on the 28th
ult. They afford the most flattering picture of the
state of affairs in Sweden. The Swedish expedition
was not expected to sail until after the conference
which was expected to take place at Abo, between
the Emperor of RUSSIA) Lord CATHCART, and BER-
NADOTTE, the Crown Prince of Sweden.

Dispatches were also received at the Admiralty this
morning from Admiral MARTIN at Riga, dated on
the 17th inst. at which period no general action had
taken place between the French and Russian armies.
No impression whatever had been made upon Riga
by the besiegers. Admiral MARTIN gives a most fa-
vourable description of the condition of the Russian
troops both in Riga and on the Banks of the Duna.

The ship Young Henry, Captain TAYLOR, has
arrived at Portsmouth from Tenerife, after a passage
of 25 days.—By this vessel we learn, that the inha-
bitants at Port Orotaviso, in that island, were still
apprehensive of a relapse of the same fever which
visited that island last year; but, from the very
strict and precautionary measures that had been
adopted, it was hoped they would escape. The
greater part of the Merchants have, however, left
the town of Orotavio, and now transact their business
in the interior of the island. Every description of
grain is very dear, and but little to be got.—Flour
scarce to be had at 25 hard dollars per barrel. The
other islands are in a miserable state, arising from
the same cause, e'pecially Lanzarote and Fuerta-
Ventura, from whence the inhabitants are departing,
to avoid the horrors of famine. The scarcity of
herbage in the latter place, while the Young Henry
was lying there, was such as to reduce the price of
cattle considerably—Bullocks at 20 dollars 2-head.
The formation of the New Constitution was to take
place and to be proclaimed on the 9th ult. at Tene-
rife: the demonstrations of joy on this occasion were
universal. GILBERT S. BRUCE, Esq. is appointed
Consul-General for the, Seven Islands, a situation
which has been vacant for years past, and for
which many British subjects have reason to regret.
The Passengers by the Young Henry are—Mr. and Miss CA.
BANOS, Messrs. BALZA, RICHARDSON, SrSICIILT 11,111 LA,.
DA RUANING, and Mager, TOILILIS.

Wednesday, Captain CLARICE, Aid-de-Camp to
Major-General Wear, left Limerick to embark with
a division of his regiment, for Portugal.
Friday the 57th regiment of foot arrived at Lewes
from Littlehamptun, to replace the 59th, which has
embarked for Portugal. One of the baggage wag-
,gons of the 57th regiment, broke down near Little-
hampton, by which accident a woman tiding on the
same was unfortunately killed.
The East Essex Militia will leave Portsmouth on
Thursday next for Portchester ; and the Royal Li-
merick will come from Gosport, to assist in the duty
of the garrison at Portsmouth, and will occupy the
barracks vacated by the Essex. The Inverness Mi-
litia go to Hilsea.

Wednesday, Colonel AUBREY inspected the Ox-1
ford Troop of Cavalry, commanded by the Hon.
Colonel PARKER. They mustered very strong, went
through their maneuvres extremely well, and char-
ged in a style which would even honour a regular
troop of cavalry. On the same day, the Oxford re-
giment of Volunteer Infantry was inspected by Co-
lonel AUBREY ; nearly 600 were in the field, although
in the midst of harvest, and they were highly praised
by the Colonel for the skilfulness of their evolutions.
In the afternoon, the officers and their friends met at
the Angel Inn to celebrate the late glorious victory
of Marquis Wmiltarox. A large party sat down
to an excellent dinner, and the day passed with the
greatest hilarity.

NE LSON-A DIRGE.

Elf JOHN MAYNI.

Saw ye the streets when NELSON died,
When his funereal train drew near,
The troops arrang'd on every side,
The people gazing in the rear ?
I saw the streets when Noises?' died :
When his funereal car drew near,
Not one brave heart but deeply sigk'd,
Not one fair cheek withuut a tear !
A nation's grief bedew'd his grave ;
Devotion mourred him as her own;
For, in the battle, truly brave,
He fear'd th'OSlNlreirsN r alone!
0 ! how It sooth'd the Here's shade,
Though weeping still at Trafalgar,
When In the grave his dust was laid
With all the pride and pomp of war!
intomb'd in yonder haUow'd fane,
With requiems due his ashes rest;
Archangels with a solemn strain

Insitrin'd his spirit with the blest !
NILSON ! to men and angels dear,
Thy name dull never, never die !
Britain embalms it with a tear,

And Fame records it with a sigh !

On Friday last, ir: the afternoon, the ParscE Rs- 1.
GENT, and Duke of CUMBERLAND, accompanied by
Generals BLOOMFIELD, CONGREVE, THORNTON, &C.
&c. arrived at Chipping Norton, on their way to Rag-
ley in Warwickshire, the seat of the Marquis of
HERTFORD, and put up at the PRINCE'S favorite Inn, ,
the White Hart. Notwithstanding the shortness of
the notice, which arrived but half an hour before, a I
most sumptuous dinner was served up, consisting of
every delicacy of the season, with which his Royal'
Highness condescended to express himself highly
gratified, and was graciously pleased to signify the
preference he gave to the White Hart, and the atten-
dons of Mr. and Mrs. WATSON, to any other Inn on
the Road. His Royal Highness and suite slept at
the White Hart, and breakfasted there in the morn-
ing ; and about 11 o'clock proceeded on their route.
The Royal Party travelled in three barouches and
four, with five out-riders.
We are happy to find that there is a great proba-
bility of the redoubtable Comitodore RoGERS being
overtaken by our cruizers, as appears by the follow-
ing extract of a letter from an Officer on the New-
foundland station :

" Shannon, Banks of Newfoundland, August 4.
" We yesterday boarded a vessel that had just
passed the American squadron, commanded by the
redoubtable Commodore ROGERS. By her we have
been informed of the course they were steering, and
they cannot now be more than 40 miles a head of us.
The American squadron consists of five 'frigates, a
sloop of war, and a brig. We have the AFRICA, of
64 guns, AEOLUS, BELVIDERE, GGERRIERE, and SHAN-
NON frigates, as fine vessels as ever swam, particu-1
larly the GIIERRIERE. As •we love the Americans
dearly,' you may expect the American squadron at:
j Plymouth very soon. We have taken a man of war
brig (the Nautilus), and burnt 20 ships."
Accounts have lately been received by Govern-
ment, announcing that a definitive treaty of alliance-
has been concluded between this Country and Persia
by Sir GORE OUSELY. The terms of the treaty are
represented as highly favourable to British interests,.
and as well calculated to unite the two countries in
the bonds of a lasting and advantageous connection.
It has always been deemed a primary object to in-
clude the Heir Apparent, /vllitza ABBAS, in the sti•
pulations of any treaty between Persia and Great Bri-
tain. The French attempted to negotiate a treaty on
a similar footing, but in that attempt they have
failed. SirlG. Onsia.x's endeavours have, however,
been successful, and his success is attributed princi-
pally to his personal influence with the King of Per-
sia, arising, perhaps, from his intimate knowledge of
the Persian language, manners, and customs, aria
from the guarded propriety of his conduct since the
arrival of the embassy in Persia. If the connection
with Persia be of the value which some persons consi-
der it to be, this definitive treaty is an event of no
Ismail impmmure, and may be attended with bene-
ficial results.
