• The Twelfth Bulletin of the invading French
army has now reached us, but it tells us nothing.—
ye knew long since that Dunaburg was abandoned
by the Russians; and as for the fustian about the
" superb harvests," the " heat of the weather," and
'the description of the Grand Palace at Witepsk—
all this may fill up a yawning interval in the coteries
•0. the Parisians, but it will not convince even the
!' Lads of Paris" that their Emperor is either able
•Or willing to follow the Russians much farther for
the present. The circumstance of his ordering back
the 100 pieces of cannon from Magdebourg to Dant-
; *l
c, may be regarded as a strong indication of his in-
iention to confine his present campaign to thecapture
!'9,f Riga, and his consequent demarcation of the
-'Duna,
(not the Dwina, as it bas been erreasowly
r „named on the authority of most modern maps) as
;the boundary of the Russian Empire. But we have
- our doubts whether the Russians will suffer him to
.'ytnjoy his "repose" at Witepsk, until all this is ac-
, eomplished, and we shall not be surprised to hear of
the bursting of a tremendous cloud Of Cossacks on
the " large square" which he has opened before his
Palace. Oh that the Hetman PLATOM and his gal-
lant bands, would interrupt the "grand morning pa-

A. •

the 19th of July.
General Grawett says, 64 the battle was long and
murderous—the Russians manfully defended their
position. Even a detachment, which was cut off,
fought to the last extremity—but the bravery of the
Prussian troops, although their number was inferior,
and the good conduct of the Officer: and Chiefs,
triumphed over the Russians ; at half-past eight at
night they were forced at all points; and put to
flight." The prisoner are said to amount to some
'hundreds ; the Russian loss is not stated.
The fifth, is from the Duke of Reggio, dated Biala, I
Slat of July, and states, that having arrived upon
Kleahilsow on the 30th of July, he learned that Ge-1
neral Wittgenstein was advancing in force upon Ja-
coubovo, who, in effect, debouched, and commenced
action with the 26th Regiment, which continued all 1
that day—that OR the following morning the Russians
renewed the attack, and attempted to take the Castle
of Jacoubovo, into which he penetrated ; but was
driven from it with the loss of 500 prisoners ; and
that the enemy, in the two days, had suffered con-
siderably.
The sixth is from the same, dated Angust 1,
giving an account of an attack made the preceding
night by the Russians, on the troops charged with
the defence of the ford of Sevochina, in which they
are represented as having been driven into the Drissd,
with the loss of 14 pieces of cannon, 13 caissons,
and more titan 2000 prisoners.

The Prince Regent's horses have been taken from
St. James's Park, which is now occupied by his Ma-

We have already shewn, and, as we think, snit-
factorily, that the late reports from Corunna of a fresh
victory over the French by Marquis Weutucrrou,
must have been founded in error; and, were it not
for the eagerness displayed by some Brother. Jour-
nalists to vamp up any thing like the shadow of a
victory into a reality, for purposes purely selfish, we
should not deign to give the folinwitag letter a place.
With respect to the arrival at Falmouth from Co-
ranna, alluded to in it, eur regular Correspondent of

Hero of Salamanca alive and well. Great rejoicings at Corinna.
The Spaniards almost frantic with joy."
By a Gentleman who has just arrived we have the
killowing account of the situation of the Island of
Sicily, There are only 9000 British troops on the
Island, which are not competent to keep the people in
seeder, much less to resist the enemy. The lower ,1
classes are all of them in favour of the English, but
'the Queen's patty, and the Nobles, are against us ;
and apprehensions are felt of the success Of their in,
trigues by the friends of Great Britain, who do not
even consider themselves to be safe under these cirs
cuanstances.—The crops are productive beyond every
former year."

We stated yesterday upon what we shall be glad
to find was rather doubtful authority, that the expe-
dition to Catalonia had been suspended if riot aban-
doned, in consequence of the favourable aspect of
affairs in the Peninsula. On the contrary, we anxi=
ously expect,tb hear of the whole of the strong for-
tresses in that piovince being in the possession of the
allied troops. As the amount of their force is not
generally known, it may be necessary to state that the
expedition is composed of 8000 English, 8000 Sici-
lians, and 8000 Spaniards. the whole under the corn
mend of General MAITLAND. The Spaniards are
under the more immediate command of Generals
WAITTINeII.I3,I and Rocas. They were at Palma,
in Majorca, on the 13th ult. ready to sail at a mo-
ment's notice.

Vilna the enemy had crossed the Douro and had
inched Valladolid. .the Duke of RAGUSA. sent an
lielt•de-Camp to. Lord. WELLINGTON, requesting,
due as he teas very ill, he might be permitted to re-
, pi at Valladolid, and not be considered a prisoner
Lisrar. His Lordship could not of course listen to
ids a proposal.

eirthe second day of the retreat, MARMONT, who
ess laid at his full length in one of his barouchis,
sent for an English Officer, a prisoner, who afterwards
sloped, and enquired of him the strength of the rein-
Jortement which Lord WELLINGTON had got up the
tight before the action, when the 0 fficer infortned him,
that be was ignorant of Lord WELLINGTON'S having
pt any reinforcement; MARMONT repeated, that he
kw* well he had got 10,000 men up ; anti added,
Lord WELLINGTON did not spare the rum to his sol-
then, for that all those furious men who turned his
tight were drunk. It is a fact, notorious in the army,
that our poor fellows had got no spftits served out for
tyro days, nor any meat on the 22d.
MARMONT left 1600 men desperately wounded,
without any surgeon to take care of them, at Valla-
dolidl 500 sick were left in the hospitals; the wards
were covered with sick and wounded Frenchmen, and
every where the French Generals follow their mas-
ter's example, in not caring for the sick and wound-
ed soldiers. When a man can no longer use the
musket, BONAPARTE has no further care for him.
The transports of the people, on the entrance into

and come in ; they are dressed in a very gaudy stile,
and you would take them for the band of some of
our Guards, or of some of our smart Militiamen or
Volunteer corps. AU the deserters and prisoners
agree in the accounts of scarcity of provisions at
Madrid, and that JOSEPH would rather be a prisoner
in England, liiing as brother Lucius does, than be
King of Spain ; but he dares not budge on account of
brother NAP: who keeps all the family in order.
Things are very dear with the army—English por-
ter) butter and cheese, though easily carried from
Oporto, 6s. each per pound, pickles and other Eng-
lish articles in the same proportion; fowls ss. 6d.
each ; tea and other articles equally dear in the coun-
try, so that it is difficult for an Officer to live, unless
on his bare rations.

Tuesday, the PRINCE REGENT, accompanied by the
Dukes of CLARENCE and CUMBERLAND, visited Wool.
wich, where, after inspecting the various exercises of
heavy artillery in the grounds of the Royal Military
Repository, and reviewing the regiment, both horse
and font, his Royal Highness dined a, General Cou-
ancra's with the Generals and Field Officers of the
corps.

The report of the Earl of Uxbridge having left
town on Thursday for Portsmouth, in order to em-
bark for Portugal, is erroneous, as his Lordship is
now at his seat in Wales.

Lieutenant-Genera! S7r EDWARD PAGET left town
on Friday last, for t'ortsmouth, to join the Marquis
of WELLINGTON, but has not yet embarked. He is
at present on a visit to the Hon. Captain PAGET, at
Fair Oak Cottage, near Petersfield.

The 7th Dragoon Guards is the only regiment of
cavalry which has this year been encamped in Eng-
land, and now forms part of the force at Sutton
Camp.
The exertinns of Lieutenant-General CHAMPAGNE
and the Officers of the 41st Regiment, in obtaining
recruits and volunteers, have been rewarded, that re-
giment having now obtained the establishment of a
second battalion.

The movement of the different battalions of the
Guards in London to new quarters sill not take
place until the Ist battalion of the Ist regiment shall'
begin its march, which has been postponed.
The underwritten list of Field Marshals is copied
from the Monthly _Army List of 1798. It will at least
serve to shew that it was not the original intention of
the KING to confine that rank to his own family

A few days since, as one of the serjeants of the
Leitrim Militia was walking through St. James's
Church-yard, Bristol, between eight and nine o'clock
in the evening, he was accosted by a man, who asked
him if he belonged to the Irish militia regiment quar-
tered in Bristol ? His answer was, that he did. He
then asked him how he liked this gauntry ? He re-
plied, very much. He_ then began to abuse the ser-
jeant, by cursing him and every one from his coun-
try ; -when a second man same behind him, and with
a carving-knife, or some similar instrument, cut The
sinews of his right leg in so dreadful a manner, that
the poor fellow'slife is desptired of.

THE LUDDIT—A Letter, of which the following
is a copy, has been received by the Home Secretary
of State, from a Cheshire Magistrate :
".My Lord—Yesterday several of the Laciltes from the neigh-
bourhood of Motown, the most disturbed in Cheshire, and bor-
dering upon the Huddersfield neighbourhood, came before me,
and took the oath of allegiance. I have reason to expect that
numbers will follow their example; and under the conviction
that your Lordship will be pleased to hear of the good effects of
the late Act of Parliament for preventing the administering un-
lawful oaths, and if tht prospect that now opens of the serious
alarms which, since the middle of Pebnsary werhave been sub-
ject to, subsiding, I have taken the liberty of making the above
communication—l have the honour to be," dec.

WHITECHAPEL.—Yesterday, J. Schofield, of Holm-
firth, Yorkshire, underwent an examination, charged
with going to the house of Mr. Hinchcliff, the parish
dolt of Holmfirth, avid telling him he wished to
speak to him, and having drawn him to some dis-
tance down a lane, exclaimed—"" D—n you! you
never more shall my any thing against the Luddites,"
and immediately fired a blunderbuss, the ball of
which entered one of his eyes, and penetrated two
inches into his head, but was afterwards extracted,
and Mr. Hinchcliff is likely to recover. The prisoner
was apprehended on board as American vessel, in
the London Dock, and was ordered to be sent to
Holmfirth) strongly guarded, to take his trial.

t).eir etching at Froginore. Princess CHARLOTTE of

Our Sunday's promenade in the Great Park is
become very respectably attended by all the Nobility,
Gentry, and Fashioaables of the County ; many noble
and respectable families attend in their carriages,
and more than two thousand respectable people, of
all descriptions, attend while the band of the 29th
Regiment .plays many pleasant tunes and airs,
The inhabitants of Windsor are delighted by the
unaffecre4 condescension of the Princess CHARLOTTE,
whose person and countenance are now daily acqui-
ringgrace and beauty. An elegant oval face, fea-
tures exquisitely moulded, and the Most delicate tints
of complexion, are all rendered more interesting, in
her Royal Highness by the mellow lustre of her tine
blue eyes.
