left tienk. On this occasion they repulsed several
attacks from 3000 of the enemy's cavalry, and made
several successful ones in return. However, the re-
giment, while combating an enemy so greatly supe-
rior in numbers, experienced a considerable loss.—
Major-General Count Waldbourg, Brigadier of this

First Ldeutenant Count Groevenitz, the Second Lisp-
tenants Fink and ilornstein; the trumpeter oQiis
~taix, and three privates. In en instant they were
s'urrounded by two squadrons of Cossacks, and the
General had the misfortune to fall from his horse. In
spite of the efforts of those who attended Mm, he
was slightly wounded, and made prisoner. The
brave Lieut. Hornstein was severely wounded, but
escaped. Lieut. fiat was also severely wounded
and made prisoner. Besides the Officers above
named, the regiment lost in this affair six hone-
men killed, 13 wounded, two prisoners, and nine.
missing.

give them rations if they demand them; and in order
to avoid their injuries in their retreat, you should
abandon the town, and take your whir and children

should seek all possible means to revenge the injuries
you have suffered.

A Gibraltar Mail arrived this morning, which

Consul ANATLER informs Lieutenant- Colonel

4 the Baird Health, 'stating, that their being six
suspicions cases in the hospital out of the walls,
Government had established a temporary custom
house and the other necessary offices at Ks Combre-
ras, in order that, in case of any distemper break-
ing out in the city, it may prove no impediment to
trade. Several private letters of the same date bring
intelligence to the same effect.

Nothing can possibly be of greater importance to
the people of the United Kingdom, than the ap-
proaching exercise of their elective franchise inform-
ing a new Parliament. Amore eventful period than
lisa present one has never been recorded in the an,
,hats of our existence as a nation ; let any man of
sound mind; and possessed of political virtue, take a
retrospect of three antecedesitParliaments,which will
embrace little more than the period of the present war,
including the short interval of 'peace, and he will then
be presented with a scene of political profligacy,
, wanton expenditure, and ,sanguinary contention, in
which has been involved the lives, liherty, and pro-
