ST. PETERSBITRGIii APRIL 29.

The General of Infantry, Count Kainensky, Com.
minder in Cif:et of the Russiatt army in Moldavia,
has transmitted the following intelligence under date
of the 18th and 20th of March (30th pf March and
Ist of April new style) :-
44 Major-General Isajew, who crossed the Danube
from the LesserWallachia, pursuant to the orders sent
him,found a body of the enemy posted in a work on the
little river Dsernne, in the territory of Duela. Remark-
ing thatthe possessi'n of an elevated battery belonging
' to this work would disable the enemy from any longer
defending it, he ordered Colonel Zwilenew, of the
Musketeers of New Ynarie, to carry the battery,
which he did on the. 24th. The enemy lost 150
men, and one un. He, at the same time, ordered
Colonel Count Balmen, one of the Emperor's aides-
'de-camp, to penetrate into the rear of the enemy,
for the purpose of attacking the intrenchments at day-
break, supported by the regiment of musketeers of
Olenezk, who were to attack it in front. The enemy,
who were about 1000 strong, and under the orders of '
j Ibrahim, the Pacha of \Viddin, finding themselves ex-
posed in the rear, availed themselves of the darkness
,of the night to evacuate the intrenchments, and to
make good their retreat. We however came up with
and cut in pieces their rear-guard, consisting of about
100 men, and took one gun; several Turks, who were
coming from the interior parts of the works, met with
i the same fate. In this affair we have had one officer
' and 14 rank and file kided, and two officers of the
Staff, and 48 soldiers wounded. General Isajew, in
passing the Danube, left two regiments on the Isle of
Olemar, under the command of Colonel Scheltuin, to
blockade the works there. The Pacha of Widdin.
, being informed of this, entered intorarticles for eva-
cuaung the intrenchments. The garrison, to the num-
ber of 700 men, surrendered themselves prisoners of
war. We took from the enemy one stand of colours,
three guns, au4.a quantity of provisions and gpilitary

Our readers have been already infernjed of the re-
duction of the island of St. Mauna. The official dis.

patches from Sir JOIIN STUART, in Sicily, were not
received till yesterday. The expedition was conducted
with great gallantry by Brigadier-General OswAt.n.
The batteries were ope;:ed against the place nine days
before it surrender:d. The French garrison, con-
sisting of 7 14. men, are pri.t.oners of war. We are
sorry to announce that Major 'CLARKE, of the 35th
Regiment, with one subaltern and 22, rank and file,
are stated to have been killed—and two Field Officers,
seven Captains, two subalterns, and about 130 men
wounded.

The following is an extract of t letter from an Of-
ficer on board the BELLE PoULM ft igate,

's Off Corfu, April 14.

" On the 14th ultimo we and the Montague were
ordered to the island of Zante, on some secret service;
when we arrived there, on the 18th, we found the
Magnificent. The next thy we took on hoard 92 of
the marines belonging to the Monta.tue, she having
unf4tunately got on a sana-bank, but got ofF again
without any damage except the loss of her rudder,
which, however, prevented her joining the expedition.
—We also embarked 21.5 soldiers of the Calabrian
corps, and some Corsican Rangers. The remainder
of the Calabrian corps were embarked in transport:,
ind.a part of the 35th Regiment on board the Mag-
nificent. The total embarked were about 20:)0 men.
We sailed from Zante Roads on the morning of the
21st, and anchored on the same day within three miles
of the town of St. Maura, and about half a mile
from the shore. The next morning, at day-light,
the whole of the troops were disembarked, under the
-command of General Oswald, including the marines
from the Magnificent, Montague, and Belle Poole,
who amounted to about 260 men, under the com-
mand of their respective officers ; Captain Snow, of
the Montague, being senior officer. The landing was
only opposed by a small battery of one gun, which
was soon silenced by the Imogene sloop of war, which
had also joined us. Our troops marched on, and
took possessiOn of the town of St. Maura, and pushed
forward to meet the enemy, who were entrenched be-

hind a fiattery of four gune. 'which was taken by
party of Albanians, under the command of W
Church, who was unfortunately wounded by
ket.shot in the arm. The French, to the mown
about 600 men, retired behind another battery

gallant manner, that nothing could stop their ,
although opposed to -note than double their n,

The French retired in- the greatest 'confusion,
considerable loss, to the Castle,-which is
the town. Our troops also suffered, heaviiir
10 killed and 100 wounded. Captain Moreatt,

" In the way of news I have but little, by the
present opportunity, to impart. Our "squadron here

negal on a particular service. A report prevails that
our ship is going up the Mediterranean.
" 'The last accounts we have from our army left
them all tranquil, and perfectly at rest ; but they did
not expect to remain long in that state ; for they
bad received very good information that the French
-army had been greatly reinforced, and were deter.
mined on the conquest of this ill-fated kingdom. The
present calm, therefore, is justly considered as the
precursor of a storm, which must burst forth ere long.
and will most probably decide the fate of this country,

I shall inform you of it ; till when. I remain, icc.'.'
The following Extract is from a private letter re- -
ceived from Celerico, by the last Mail from Lisbon :
" The greatest pains ate taking to augment oar
forces, in the expectation of a general engagement;
and many officers haie in codseqttence been ordered
to join, whose infirm state of health but ill accords
with the hardships of a camp. The late heavy rains
proved injurious to a great many. Your friend Cap-
tain ARTHUR GORE, of the 9th Dragoons, now or.
Marshal BERESFORD'S Staff, has been a Jong titre
amongst the invalids ; I hope he may not suffer from
his zeal ; but a recurrence of such weather as we ea.
countered some weeks ago, wouki be most.dangerous
to those in his condition."-
_

The MustrinT, which arrived yesterday at SO::
head, from Curacoa, brought dispatches for Govern-
ment of a most important nature. They state,
that the whole of the Inhabitants pf the Caraccs

had proclaimed themselves independent, in conse-
quence of the sudden departs* of the Junta, and
of the approach of the French to Seville. In their
prnclairiation .of independenCe, the inhabitants of the
Caraccas have expressed in• the strongestillanguage
their determined hatred to the French, and their at-
tachment to Great Britain, and their desire to foot
an alliance with her.

We have received Paris Papers to the 14th, and
Dutch to the 17th.—An article from Constantinople
contains the account of a conflagration having broken
out in that city, which has been as usual ascribed to
the Janissaries. The fire, however, was got under
with( ut ending in any seditious tumult.
These Papers also contain some intelligence from
Lyons, which shews that in Catalonia at least, the
spirit of resistance is still unsubdued. Notwithstand-
ing the victories claimed by the French over the
Patriotic armies in that quarter, M. Ai/CERRA% who
was to over-run the South of Spain in a month, has
been re-called, and General MACDONALD appointed
in his stead, from whom much is expected.
Barcelona is said to have lately received consider-
able supplies of provisions by sea, during the absence
of the British squadron, in consequence of some ds•

it was in very great distress at one period.

AND MR.GALB JONES&

Never have we witnessed such a disappointment as
was generally experienced yesterday. The whole of
the morning—indeed the whole of the day, till five
in the evening, was occupied in preparations for an
expected procession. Notonly this large capital, but,
all the towns and villages for many miles round,
who
out their thousands and tens of thousands,
who all thronged to the neighbourhood of the Tower,
or to the streets through which Sir Faasiets BURDETT
was to have passed. The windows, parapets, and
many
of the roofs of housei in the line of the ex-
pectsd route were filled or covered with people—
even chimney tops were in some places occupied,
and the streets were thronged post all description.
All Vas impatient expectation as the hour approached.
the hour came, bet no procession ! And at length
it was announced that Sir Francis had crossed the
Thames, and proceeded to his house at Wimbledon ! !
Language cannot describe the extent of the disap-
pointment ;
nor could it be otherwise, considering the
great preparanons that had been made for the day.
The day had scarcely dawned when the people were
in motion—when music was heard in every direction.
At the several appointed rendezvous in t:le several
parish
es of Westminster, the people began to assemble
about ten o'clock, and from thence proceeded to the
Tower. Scarcely a street, lane, or alley, was to be
found, in which the cockade of Sir Francis Burdett
was not to be seen--in which the cry of Burdett
Tor ever" was not to be beau!. Before one o'clock
ower-hill and all the avenues approachizg it were
literally thronged. The Gentlemen appointed to ar-
range the different parts of the procession, were
peculiarly active. Every precaution seemed to be
taken for the purpose of guarding against any de.
tree of confusion, however minute. By half after
two o'clock the whole of the procession was in rea-
diness to move, and from that moment the most eager
expectation prevailed, but which in the end was to.
tally disappointed.—About half after three, Lord
Moira appeared on his way to the Tower, and. was
vceived with acclamations. His Lordship remained
a short time in the 'rower, and when he came out,
h. communicated to some of the principal persons
concerned in conducting the procession, that Sir
Francis Burdett bad crossed the river, and proceeded
to Wimbledon. This communication was imme-
diately announced, but there was a 'general indispo-
sition to believe it. Indeed the people appeared to
regard it rather as an expedient fabricated by their
enemies to induce thew to disperse, and so to weaken
the effect which then assemblage had in view. This
feeling was so prevalent, that few thought proper to
be forward in repeating the intelligence received from
Lord Moira. The people were quite unwilling to
suppose that such a disappointment was- possible.—
Their incredulity was in tact so stubborn, that they
could not he persuaded to attend even to the Sheriffs
who had gone into the Tower, and who, upon their
return, confirmed the report.
The communication from Sheriff Wood had, how-
ever, very soon its desired influence. Many believed
him, and were in consequence heard to express their
astonishment that Sir Francis Burdett should have so
disappeared. Some were even angry, but their anger
was short lived. The people felt that they ought to
suspend their judgment until an opportunity was af-
forded for explanatiOn.
It is in vain to conjecture the cause of his disap-
pearance, for all the Members of the Committee who
bad been the most active in preparation for the cere-
rnony were totally unaware of his intention. It was
said, indeed, that from the beginning he had expres-
sod great repugnance to the exhibition intended ; but
his
party. flattered themselves, that in the end he
would yield to their wishes It is not easy to conceive
that he.had before -yesterday actually made up his
Thind.to-withdr3w himself from the cavalcade ; as, in
that case, common respect for the people would have
loodOceddlirn tr make known his determination in time
prevent the disappointment. We suppose that we
shill he favoured with an explanation.
The following, we have been informed, was the
cause of the Honourable B.ironee's quitting theloower
in the way he did. Early yesterdaiy morning the Earl
of Moira addressed a letter to Lady Burdett, in which
his Lordship suggested the_ prudence and propriety
of Sir Francis's avoiding the possible 'tumult of the
dry,Tiear to the opposite
his crossing the river from the
oppostte side, where he might meet his
own carriage. A similar wish was expressed to him
by some of hit particular friends. Aware of the pub-
lic expectation, he rather reluctantly complied. Ac-
cadingly Lady Burdett went in the carriage to the
Sluthwark-side .of the river, and me Sir Sir Francis,
when they immediatjly drove offN
for
rimbledon.
The Committee, disappointed of the object which
had caused the assemblage, were at a loss how to
conduct themselves. They resolved, however, as the
readiest wily for dispersing the assembled multitude,
that the procession should proceed to the house of the
'Baronet, and then file off and disperse in different
.slirections.
It was 'nearly five o'clock before the procession
rrtwed from Tower-hill. The phaeton with four horses
provided for Sir Francis Burdett iisas empty. And
o ir Readers may conceive the effect of a procession
::-rt the principal hero was absent. The multitudes
."1"-Tabled in all the line of the march exceeded any
we ever witnessed.
Ladies from every window were seen waving their
hvearaidnligearcnhdiehuls, and the spectators in the streets uneo-
zzaing as it passed. • 'file tops of the
houses were covered with spectators, and several tern-
P"arY balconies exhibited groups. of fine women, who
appeared to divide with the procession the admiration
of the day. The sides of the streets were lined with
etf oacne: chaises, waggons, dram &c. &c. the owners
. which kvied a liberal poll contribution by accom-
modating as many
"swndot a into,
single a n persons as tbey could possibly
avo
iipon, their respective vehicles--there
spot from whence a more elevated
view could be had
that was not put into requisition.
The equestrian statue of Charles the First. was lite-
PSI!
James's
ycovered with spectators—so early as five o'clock,
Park was cleared and all the gates leading
ID it locked.
In the Procession were M4Jor Cartwright, Col. Bos-
vine, Col.
yie
Mr.
P.
WWaalrkdle, the Hon. G. Hanger, Mr. Lang-
er., Mr.Waithman, Mr. Quin, &c. &c.
When the Procession reached Piccadilly, the Sheriffs,
attended by t ir officers, passed the cavalcade, and,
hiding static aed themselves opposite the Baronet's

house, directed the Caitiff*: at they itivatited, to flits}
off by elarges-street, and the other avenues to Berke!
ley-squ3re. The result of such an arrangement was,
that before the last part of the Procession arrived in
front of the house, which was about eight o'clock,
I the preceding part were retiring in a manner the most
1 peaceable and exemplary to their respective quartets
!of residente. Dieting the long and frequently inter-
' rupted moeement, the Cohduet of the two Sheriffs and
their deputies was highly commendable. Wherever
! an interruption took place, they hurried to remove
i the obstruction ; and though we believe not a solitary
: circumstance occurred to call for the interference of a
; Peace Officer, still the manner in which the Civil
Power performed its duty, fully exemplified, that in
this country, and amongst such a people; it is fully
' competent to the discharge of all its•functions. The
whole proceeding of the day, proved how unnecessary
the introduction of a military force would be, and that
it rather tends to create than to prevent those disorders
which it is called on to quell. By nine o'clock the
great body of the people dispersed from Piccadilly,
and, to that period, we are confident, that although
the greatest concourse of people that ever were seen
collected, met upon this occasion, yet not a single
act of violence or tendency to tumult took place
amongst them.
In all the preparations made for the display of po-
pular feeling yesterday, Mr. Gale Jones was totally
forgotten. He was liberated of course, but-proceeded
home in a hackney coach. The multitude, indeed, took
out the holies and drew him home, but it had not
made a part of the arrangement for the day, nor did
the Cavalcade pass to Newgate to pay a tribute of
respect to the original sufferer.
The Strand and the principal streets through which
the procession had passed, were illuminated at night
--.-a crowd parading the streets, and calling out for
lights; and windows were broken where no lights
were put up. The Sheriffs exerted themselves ; and
Mr. Sheriff Wood addressed the crowd opposite The
. Morning Post Office. He stated that the Sheriffs had
exerted themselves, and, hitherto, with success, to
preserve the peace of the cities of London and West-
minster without the aid of the military. No man
could be more friendly to their cause than he was ;
and he requested they would consider that nothing
c 4 ald be more injurious to that cause than riot and
disorder. He begged of them to reflect what their
enemies would say to-morrow, it they conducted
themselves improperly. He had neither time nor
inclination to nitrite a long speech, but he hoped they
would have the good sense immediately to disperse.
A shout of applause followed. The Sheriffirode on,
and the crowd dispersed instantaneously.
1 This morning a deputation from the Committee
waited on Sir Faascis, at Wimbledon. It is ex-
' petted they will receive from him an explanation of
the motives which induced him to avoid joining in the
; procession.
The Ministers of State had each in their residences
two Police Officers, accompanied with a guard of
i soldiers, where they remained under arms till five
1 o'clock morning.
