GOITENBURGH MAIL,

GOTTENBURGH, AUGUST

Official intelligence is just received from Stock-
holm, that a Ru3siart Courier at rived there as the post
was coming away, with an account of a great battle
having been fought near Sniolensk, in which the Rus-
sians v.-ere victorious ;the particulars are not known.
The Russian army from Turkey has joined the grand
army ; it consists of about 80,000 men.
It is stated in private letters from Vienna, that a
report having been there circulated of a great victory
having been gained by Lord Wellingt:ln over the
French, the French Ambassador immediately circu-
lated hand-biils, declaring it to be a mere invention
of the enemy : and requested the Austrian Govern-
ment to make diiigent search for and punish the
Eniclish agents. It was nevertheless fully believed
that Marmont had been completely routed.

At the Haymarket Theatre we witnessed one of
those instantaneous .but2sts of British loyalty and en-
thusiastic patriotism which exalts our national cha
racter above that of every other empire in the world.,

the Englishman reproaches the Irish gentleman (Mr.
JONES) with committing continua; blunders—A, Give

read a little bit of this newspaper; and then you will
not say that the Irish do nothing but commit blun-
ders I" Mr.. JONES then pulled out of his pocket the'
Second Edition of the STAR, which had been that
instant handed to him by Mr. Mounts, Ole Proprietor ,
and Director of the Theatre, and read the short but
accurate statement which we last night gave.
The glorious occasional interlude thus furnished
to the audience, produced a most rapturous sensation
of joy. Men, women, and children rose from their
seats, actuated by one impulse, and commenced a
loud Hum 1 for WELLINGTON aind Victory.
After this ebullition of popular feeling, which
lasted several minutes, " GOD save the King" was
called for, and the whole of the performers coming
upon the stage, that truly national Anthem was
chaunted by the voices of exulting thousand& ,

which graced the performoce of the mums i for
