It is reported, that a letter of the 26th ult.
from Coitulna, asserts that a battle took place on the
linzaco, in which the French were defeated
ss of 9,000 nien. 'The foilawing is the
.:111ided :

" BUZACO, nrpTEmnEit

er c

t.r,e happintns to Acquaint you, that this night the
It'l,,•l,ch lust 9000 rrtn near the Convent of Buzaco.

" The enemy is daring, but he is on the point of
be4lg des:reyed. Our army. occupies the best posi-
tion you can iin.isi.ie. This place appears like the
anti•ciiamber I iy,g your Lordship not to
tunsititr this news as a fiction, for I (from where .1 am)

saw them GIL Be not therefore itirtnei, the enemy
wilt disgorge all their plunder, and the fate of the war.
will be-decided in four days., The enemy's cavalry
is at present at rest, as it cannot act in our position."
We need only remind our readers, that the last dis-
patches from Lord WaLuturrow were dated the 21th
ultimo ; one day later than this pretended battle.

We have received Dutch papers to the 11th, and
Trench to the Bth instant. The report that King
Joicjuu MURAT had abandoned his design of invad-
ing Sicily seems to have been a ruse de Guerre. Se-

veral fresh attempts have been made to land in the
courseof last month, by which the English have been
kept on the alert, but have always succeeded in re-

.•
pelling the invaders. Ample details of these skir-
mishes will be found in our extracts from the above
t journals—the usual gasconade pervades the whole of
of the French statements. Mettar was present in
person on one of these excursions. On the night of
the 17th of September the French were particularly
unfortunate—a party of troops landed at San Stefano,
as we arc informed, and carried every thins before them
at first—the wind fell however ; no more troops could
be conveyed over, and those that landed could not be
brought back for want of boats—which, no doubt,
had been burnt by our crnizers. In short it cannot
be doubted, even from the French statements, that the
victory was completely on our side.
An official report of the Russian army is also given
in the French papers, statin4 an action to have been

frtught with the Turks, on the 7th ult. which lasted

from ten o'clock in the morning till seven in the even-
ing, and the result of which was, in the words of this
account, that the Turkish army was nn more."—
There is evidently considerable exagveration in this
statement, but there appears no doubt that the
Turks have sustained a serious defeat. It is asserted
that they lost 5,000 men-killed, that their camp was
surrendered by capitulation, and that all their arms,
baggage and artillery, 178 stand of colours, and
.5,600 prisoners fell into the hands of the Russians.
The Afonittur appears very solicitous to discredit
the rumours c,f approacl ing hos :ilities between France
and Russia ; but its extreme anxiety iip ,n this head
will only serve to excite in a greater degree a siispi.
cion that the Courts of Petersburg's and Paris are not
on the most amicable terms.

he met a Clergyman, the object o' whose visit lie

her Royal Highness, which affected his MAJESTY so
much (while conversing with the Clergyman), tint
he could scarcely proceed into the house. We under-
stand the Doctors had agreed that morning, t!eai they ,
did not think her Royal Highness would.survive 21•
hours, and had given permission for her to eat and
drink whatever she fancied ; her Royal Highness ex-
pressed a wide to have some porter, and she accor-
dingly had a glass of bottled porter, which appeared
to refresh her very much, and she had a gentle sleep
afterwards. The fiatteriag hopes of her being better
have, we understand, been occasioned by the applica-
tion of some strong poultices to her feet, from which
she appeared to experience considerable relief. All
her Royal Brothers and Sisters frequently visit her.

BOXING--A desperate pitched battle was fought
on Wednesday last at Shirley Wake, between a smith,
long celebrated as a pugilist, and Thomas Parkes,
son of a respectable farmer in that neighbourhood.—
Shirley is about five miles from Birmingham, and
the concourse of spectators was very great. The com-
batants met soon after three o'clock in a ring formed
in a field opposite the Red Lion, attended by their
seconds and bottle-holders. At half past 3 they set
• to. At the 26th round the smith was so weak, that,
having made an ineffectual effort to hit his man, he
gave in, after one of the best contested battles ever
seen in that part of the country. The smith, who
had fought repeatedly, was never beat before, and was
confident of victory at setting to.

THE ARMY.

Thursday the 11th instaut, orders were issued
the "Adjutant General's Office, f►r the general leave'
of absence for the .officers and men of the Militia--to
commence from the 14th of October, and to Continual
to the 10th of March : the officers, to be absent, not
exceeding one third ; the privates by ten men, in
proportion to each company.
The period of balloting for the Militia is now over,
and we are sorry to learn, that in several counties i:
has tr,t at all iieen effectual, and that recourse will
be had to the tines—however the men can be had, se-
veral of the popular regiments of the Ho, as welt a;
of Militia, have been successful, beyond expectation,
in recruiting.

The gallant Old Cameronians, or 'Mb regiment,
commanded by Colonel MAxwu.t., M. P. who hst an
arm at Cormma, having recovered from the effects of
the Walcheren fever, are again ePctive, and are ab,,ut
to join Lord WELLINGTON'S army, with the 23d Dra-
goons.

Saturday the 29th ult. the North Devon regiment
of Yeomanry Cavalry completed their 7 (flys perma-
nent duty, at-the head-quarters, Torrington.
There is no-truth in the report that the 2fld Light
Dragoons, at present in barracks. in CametiSory, are
under orders for bircirn servize ; efutAlly incorrect is
a report respecting the ISth Dragoons, now
on the coast duty of the Kent distri:t.

mediately ; and it is reported that he will be succeed-

This day the DOLPHIN man of war is to sail for

Looking to the band of heroes with Lord WEL-
LisaroN in his present twist critical situation, we are
inspired with confidence, and can expect every thing
from this fine army. Never was a British army better
officered, or better appointed. Seconded by such
n OOPS as SPENCER, BERESFORN DILL, Pli:ToN,
STEWART, and CANIERON, WELLINGTON will effect any
thing that brave and men can do. The Staff and
D.nachments of this army, the Ad;utant- General's.'
Quarter Master Generals, the Medical, the Commis-
sariat, are more ably filled than in any army that ever
left the British shores—the Commissariat in particu-
lar, and the Officer at the head of this most important
part of our army, has a capacious mind, general
knowledge of European languages and character, &c.
intimately acquainted with armies and mercantile con-
cerns, and is extremely active.

By the latest accounts, every thing goes on well in
Cadiz under their very able Commanders, Sir
ltictlaun KEATN and Celina' GRA:IAN!. In this very
untie:llllly quarter the English, as well as the Spa-
niards, arc kept in good health by the great know.
ledge, abiiities, and constant attention of Sir AIIES
fLt.Lows.

SuLit is the scarcity of men, and the diffiiulty of
procuring substitutes fur the Militia Regiments, that
several respectable young men, and labourers who
have not more than two children, have been reduced
to beggary in different parts of the kingdom by the
recent ballot. •In Plymouth it has linen Peculiarly
heavy en those liable to it : no substitutes arc to be
procured under 460; and, contrary to what used to
be the case, the tine of £2O paid by persons to be
excused for five years, is now taken by Govern-
m:ut. There also, the chief population of the place
consists of artificers and labourers in the Dock-yard
and gun..vharf, persons in the army and navy, and
local militia ; all of whom are of course exempted.
One substitute at Plymouth went on condition of re.
ceiving one shilling per day during the war; and
another, who has to join the York Militia, sold him-
self for 7s. Sd. per lb.

we know forthat purpose, is the purchase of a Lot-
tery Share at CAItTEE'S, No. 8, Charing• Cross, before
