OFFICIAL DITELLIGENCE RESPECTING THE MILL

TARY OPERATIONS.

1. The Commander in Chief of the First Army, the Minister
at War, Barclay de Toni, announces, that, on the 13th July,
(0. S.) the corps of Lieutenant-Gemeral Count Osterman, whiht
marching upon the town of Ostrovno, fell in with the enemy's
grand army, and that a warm engagement commenced between
them at six o'clock in the morning, which lasted until eleven
o'clock at night. Count Osterman maintaisied his position.
2. From the Second Army, the General of Infantry, Print*
Bagration, announces, under date of the lab July (O. Si,
that, regulating his movements conformably to the preconeerted
plan, his advanced guard, commanded by Lieut.-General Ra-
jewski, reached Illsumlskowka in the night of the 10th, where It
was attacked by a superior force of the enemy, consisting of
five divisions under the command of Marshals Davoust and Mos.
tier. Notwithstanding the superior numbers and obstinate re-
sistance of the enemy, our troops repulsed them twice, and pur-
sued them as far as the village of Nowosselka. In this place,
strong by nature, and affording an advantageous position, the
enemy halted I but though they attempted with several strong
columns to (Appel us to retreat from the field of battle, they
were constantly repulsed w ith loss. notwithstanding that our Bth
corps, which had come up in sufficient time, could not co-ope-
rate from the narrowness of the ground, and that oar cavalry,
from the same cause, remained in complete inactivity. In the
mono time, the road to Smolenski was opened to General Pia-
tow, so as to enable him to continue his march to joie the First
Army. The battle lasted from nine in the morning until six in
the evening. The loss of the enemy, according to the eoheur-
ring statements of the prisoners, compared with the number of
dead bodies left by the enemy during the pursuit, must have
considerably exceeded five thousand men, killed and wounded,
General Prince Bagration, who praises the unparalleled bravery
cif the 7th corps, and that of all the troops, adds, that be will
; speedily transmit a detailed account of our loss, which does not
exceed 600 men, and of the achievements of individuals.

The sceptre shows the force of temp'ral power,
The attribute of awe and majesty,

It is enthron'd withip the hearts of kings—
It Mao attribute of Gov himself,
And earthly pow'r detb thee 'hew, likest heaves,
When Mercy seasons justice.

Every one would have thought, that even on the'
instinctive principle of theox knowing its owner, thin

the word ROYAL, of which, however, he well knew

word ROYAL, associated with iiincasterian, was
not only troublesome as gravel to his teeth, but
like a sword in the marrow of his bones.-.a
Nothing could please this honourable man better
than expunging the word altogether. In this he
succeeded, having a whole squadron of Vicars and
Rectors, &c. from the neighbouring parishes to back
him. The King's bounty hall educated hundreds of poo4
children in that place, for whom the resident Clergy
cared nothing till the Royal bounty alone had instruct.

FROM THE ST. PETEASBURGH GAZETTE, AUG. 5 (16).
Important intelligence has been just received here
from our armies—Bagration, in spite of the utmost
efforts of the French army, bas effected his junction
with the main body, under General Barclay de Tolli.
There have been several important actions, in one of
which the Viceroy of Italy, Beauharnois, was scannas.

of General Witgenstein has been decisive, having
completely defeated Marshal Oudinot, after a bloody
contest, in which the French left 3000 killed on the
field of battle, besides having 8000 wounded. All
the artillery of Oudinot, consisting of near 70 pieces
of cannon, with his heavy baggage, fell into the hands
of our brave army.

We are gratified in haying another opportunity to
notice the abilities and talents of the youthful au.
thor of these Poems. We know no reason why he
should have suppressed his n ime to the first, and we
hope he will not do so to the second edition. It
would not be disgraced by the ability and talent dis.
played. We urnple not trisay, that scarce another
volume can be found in the English language written
with equal ability by a youth of only sixteee. His
principles are liberal and pious. ft is e.• volume every
parent may put Into the hands of his children with
satirfactinn, as to it moral and beievolent teodnnry.
When talents are prostituted to hireling purposes,
when abilities rank as auxiliaries, under the ban-
; nail of vice, we expect nothing to result but fearful
1 example and *nal ruin; but when the heart and life
land talent of a young man are at once devoted to the
cause of literature, of virtue, and of religion, we
hail the rising gun on the days of such; 44 we wish
• that after a length of time it may never set but to
rise again in glory.--,,See Advertisement ig,front of
