THIRD EDITION.

OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION OF
THE ABOVE GLORIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

Lord CATHCAIreS dispatches to Government are
dated at St. Petersburgh, Dec. 22d. They will
appear at full length in a Gatette Extraordinary this
evening or to morrow morning. The following,
however, is a brief but accurate sketch of their con-
tents :

The last dispatches from General ECTUSOPS
Prince of Smolensko, are dated at Wilna, on the 14th
of December. They confirm in every particular the
details brought by the Gottenburgh Mails, inserted
in the !preceding column, and state the following
particulars:
General lUTUSOFIO has published a proclamation
to the Poles, promising them a new organisation of
Poland, and calling upon them to take up arms
against the French invaders. Thousands were flock-
ing to his standard ; and it was with the view of
giving additional effect to this that the
Emperor ALEXANDER had left St. Petersburgh.
The number of Prisoners taken at Wilna amounted
to Fourteen Thousand, together with 200 pieces of
Cannon.

It was thought next to impossible that Marshal
MACDONALD could escape, being surrounded on all
sides.

The number of Prisoners taken between 13eresina
and Wilna amounted to Seven Thousand.

BONAPARTZ% personal Baggage also fell into the
bands of the Russians. It contained an immense
number of State Papers of the utmost importance.
Among the French prisoners taken at Wilna
General Lawman. This villain made his escape from
Cheltenham a few months ago disguised in women's
clothes. He was taken prisoner in Spain during Sir
Jowl Moona's retreat to Corunna.

The Austrians had many opportunities of mating
several most formidable diversions in the direction of
Minsk, to favour the retreat of the Vrench, but they
were kept in check so closely by the Russians under
General BACKEND or were so adverse to the service,
that they effected nothing.
