Kosinski's corps daily augments; he has greedy
sent corps to the right bank of the Berg, which have
in several combats overthrown the enemy. On the I
9th instant, an Italian pack of artillery set oat from
Posen for the Grand Army. There has arrived in this
town, by the Wartha, a considerable number of
rfiuskets.—(.leurnal de ['Empire, Sept. 1.)

Bence states, that: a- clonsitlembltt4tterea' corps,
commanded by General Essen, has been beaten near,
Riga, by Marshal the Duke orrarentum. At the
conclusion of this engagement, in which the Prussian
troops greatly distinguished themselves, the fortress
of Riga was more strictly blockaded, and every
thing was preparing for au assault.
BERLIN, Arc. 22.—Marshal the Duke of Castig-
lione returned here on the 20th, from his journey to
Rostock. On the 6th and 7th instant, the garrison of
Riga made a sortie. On the 9th, General Kleish had
to support, with his troops, a very obstinate battle,
which lasted nine hours, against an enemy superior in
number, nevertheless he succeeded in maintaining his
position.—(Same Paper).
Lamle, Atm. 21.—We are assured that Marshal
:the Prince of .Eckmuhl has passed the Borystene:i
(Dnieper) upon several points. Ilia light cavalry
every where spreads the greatest consternation. All
Courlaud is now occupied by Prussian troops, who
have placed garrisons in the principal ports, and most
considerable towns.
All the accounts from Poland announce that the
organization of new corps and levies, to reinforce
those which are in service, proceed with the utmost
activity. The corps d'armee of Prince Poniatowsky
was, according to the last dispatches, stationed in
the environs of. Mohilow. It is supposed that they
will not remain there long, but advance. It still forms
the right wing of the Gland Army.
FRANKFORT, AUG. F.scellency the Mar-
shal Duke of Valmy arrived here this morning.
BURG, AUG. 20.—,F0r the last 15 days, the march
of troops through our town has been very consider-
able ; in the last eightdays, 10,500 men, infantry and
cavalry, passed through on their way to the Grand
Army.—(Journal de ['Empire, Sept. 3).
IMPORTANT,

here from the head-quarters at Kobryn, which he left
on the 14th, with the following intelligence :
" The Austrian corps d'urmee, under the orders of
Prince Schwartzenberg, having on the 3d inst. joined
the Saxon troops at Slonew, these two corps marched

tock, to retire."

Baron de Hardenberg, returned here on the 15th,

PERPIGNAN, AUG. 19.—Reinforcements pass, with.
ont ceasing, our country for Spain. We likewise learn
that the route from Bayonne is covered with rein-
forcements for the Army of Portugal.
DRESDEN, Ace. 23.—We have received the follow-
ing details of the affair which took place at Kobryn
on the 27th of July :
" General Klengel was charged with maintaining
himself in Kobryn, with two battalions of the King's
regiment, six companies of Niesemenschel's and
three squadrons of Prince Clement's tight horse. On
the 27th, at six in the morning, the enemy having
attacked from three sides, by lierodiczna, Dywin,
and Breese, and the Russian columns !hewed them-
selves from all parts, General Klengel, after, several
attacks of cavalry, which, although they succeeded,
produced no effect, on account of the great superb°.
rity of the enemy, threw himself into the town,
upon which the Russians had strongly pressed for
eight hours ; the town was set on fire; the gates
were, for a long time, defended ; the bridge, and
an old redoubt in ruins, Colonel Zerschwitz endea.
Toured to open to himself a passage with the re-
mainder of his troops, but the superiority of thy.

enemy rendered his project abortive:
44 At last the fire augmented in the town, without
its being possible to stop its progress, and the ammu-
nition of the troops totally failing, about half after
one, it was found impossible to prolong the defence.
Of 1985 men who were under arms on the morning
of the 27th, 1100 fell into the enemy's hands."
VILNNA, AUG. 21—Count St. Juliens, the Aus-
trian Ambassador to the Court of St. Petershurgh,
arrived here on the 6th. The arrest of the Lieut.-
General of Artillery, Baron de Sembshen, is no longer
a secret: it is known to the public.

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 20.—Capt. May, of the
packet-boat Mew, informs us, that on Friday last he
heard a very brisk cannon* la the south-east di-
rection. The passengers elapposed that there was an
'.engagement in that direction between two ships of
war.—(Journal de t Empire, Sept. 1.)
CONSY A !VII Non; JULY 26.—Sultan Amurat,
eidestvaion of the Grand Seignior, born on the 24th
November, 1811, died on the 19th inst. This loss
, is the more unfortunate for the Empireras, in con-
sequence of the recent death of Sultan Bajaaet, the
I second Ottoman Prince, there remains, with the ex-
ception of the Grand Seignior, no male Prince of
the reigning family. This event has plunged the
Sultan in the most profound grief. His Highness
did not wish the ceremonials used on such occasions
should be observed ; he did not receive the compli-
meats of condolence from the Ministers and principal
persons of the Empire.
We this moment learn that General Andreossi, the
new Ambassador from France, has arrived at Te-
rapia.
On the 13th instant, Mr. Stratford Canning, who
has hitherto filled the post of Minister Plenipoten-
tiary from England, has had from the Turkish Mi-
nistry a particular audience of leave. lie immedi-
ately after set out from this capital, and repaired to
the Dardanelles, to embark on board an English
frigate, which was at anchor there, and which is to
convey him to England.
Five days ago, two frigates and a corvette left the
Turkish fleet stationed in our bay, and sailed for the
arsenal. They are, according to report, after re-
ceiving some repairs, to proceed to the Archipelago.
