REPORT FROM LIED?.-GENERAL STrucntr..
Koubfiche, Oct. IL
Since my report of yesterday I have pursued my
movements. I occupied this place yesterday ; and
having learnt that the enemy retired upon Glouho-
koe, I sent my advanced guard thither, under Major.
General Ilelfreig, who, from eight in the morning to
six at night, pursued them, having frequent conflicts.
The brave troops of your Majesty, seeing that the
day was closing, and that, esupt the taking of pH..
toners, they had not yet distinguished themselves by
any important success, resolved to achieve greater
things. With the enemy's detachment there were
eight pieces of cannon, which we attacked. The at-
tack was so vigorous, that we took the cannon,
seven officers, and 150 privatei. lam now in com-
munication with Gen. Wittgenstein.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PETERBRURGR, OCT. t 3.
44 We have not lately expected any great battles;
for every thing we hear of Bonaparte's situation con-
vinces us he is not in a condition to risk them. The
occupation of Moscow cost him at least 30,000 men.
The expence of men must be 1000 a day, if we
reckon all that Winzingerode takes with his light
troops upon the roads of Twer, Yaroslaw, and
Gen. Dorochow, on the road from Smolensko to Mo.
jaisk, without counting what the Graud Army take
daily, and, what are destroyed by disease and drunk.

tion can only be restrained by frequent executio is.
1 As they found many cellars well filled, the French,
i are dead drunk every. evening. Nor is this difficult)
their foOd being so sdsnty, and being forced to eat
horse-flesh, without a morsel of bread. In one
village, the French entered and were supplied with
every thing, as well as forage in return they at•
tempted to ill-ese the women, when the peasants rose
and killed every one; a Pole, who spoke Russian,
• to save his life, told them, that if they ill-used him,
they would all be killed by a party of French corning
up ; this, however, bad no effect. The Starosts
(the head or 'chief of the village, elected among
themselves) collected the peasants, and told them;

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCtRY, Nov.ll.

11.1Y-MAIMET THEARTRE.
MORRIS r. coT.mvq.
This cause was called on for je.lgment this day
upon an exception taken to the Masltti•'s Report
on
behalf of the llaintilT, in support of swltiVlt Sir S.
Hominy and Mr. Bell were heaad on a former slay,
and Mr.' Hart, with two other counsel, against it, ,
on the part of the Defendant.
The Lunn CHANCELLOR asked Mr. Hart if he had
ling thing further to oiler on behalf of the Defend-
ant.
Mr. 11.1nT replied in the negative, except that he
telied on the distinction between a condition and a
protest, with one of which the assent of the Defend-
ant to the sale of Mr. Taholdon's moiety of a fourth
part of the Theatre was coupled. The condition or
protest was against any additional power of voting
in the concerns or management of the business to the
Plaintiff, in right of such moiety purchased by him.
'f he Master reported that there was no consent, and
on that,point the exception was taken.
The Lotto CHANCELLOR was clearly of opinion
that there was a consent by the Defendant .riven to
the sale, but as to the cmtsequent right of voting
that would be a future consideration.

THE RING V. D.tTI%.

The Defendant in this case was brought up to re-
crive th.? jud4ment of the Court, haying been found;
guilty of etideavintring to seduce Joseph Dutch, an
Extra Excise Watchman, from the discharge of his i
duty, while placed as a guard on board a lighterman,
In which were deposited a number of. casks of rum,
for the purpose of being conveyed on board a vessel
then lying ready to receive them for exportation, the
rum in'question not haring paid the duty. It op- 1
reared on the trial that de t, Defolle..tnt %%•a, t ‘ratcii-
my) employed by the ligliterman, and that he ap-
plied to the nuke natehman to assist 2iin, or con-
uive with him, in stenlim; small quantities to the
amount of two bottle,,, from each cask placed under
their care. This temptation, however, the 4e:xciso
watchman had fortitude enough to withstand, and,
moreover, to expose the dishonesty of his joint guar-1
clian of the property.
The sentence of the Court upon the Defendant
was, that he be imprisoned is the. Gaol of Ne.wgatc:
for 18 calendar months.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.

The Defendant, in this cue, who had been tried
before Lord Ellenborough, at Guildhall, of assault-
ing, arid provoking to fight a duel, a merchant of
the name of George Rryttat,• was brought up to re-
ceive the judgment of the Court.
The sentence was, that the Defendant be commit-
ted to the custody of the Marshal of the Malshalsea
%of the Court, for the space of three calendar months,
and that, at the expiry of that period, he do enter
into recognizance% to keep the peace for two years,

ME KING V. PIC/CULT:NO.

Mr. TOPPING moved for the judgment of the
Court against the Defendant in this ease, he having
been convicted at the last Assizes for Salisbury, be-
fore Mr. Baron Graham, of assaulting a Gentle-
sas of the name of Aldridge., using to him, at the
same time, most provoking and ungentlemau-like
104 usge.
The Procecotor, it appeared, was a qualified per-
son, Kho had been shooting on his sister's estate,
when he was attacked by the Defendant, who rented
the ad.;oining Manor. Several unge:itleman-like ex.
pre,;:ions were used by the IDefentiatit towards the
PrJsecutor, whet, it was also proved, had raised his
gun towards his person, in a threatening position.
Tbe si,ntence of the Court upon the Defendant
vas; that he do pay a tine of 51. and be discharged.

Defendants in this case, wilio are the printers
and pubtiEhers of a periodical work published at

ra1!..11 on to receive the judgment of the Court, for a
Ebrl published hy Mein, in March, 1811, on Charles
Foulke, Esq. Mayor of Canterbury. The libel we
have formerly stated, and the sentence of the Court
upon the three Defendants was, that they do each pay
a fine to the King of 1001. and be imprisoned in the
;not of Maidstone for six weeks, sad thereafter till
the fines be severally paid.

THE ICING 0. W.'TLEET.

The Defendant, who is the printer of the Brighton
Herald, was called on to receive the judgment or
the Court for a libel published in that paper, tending
to traduce, •ilify, and defame Miss Elizabeth So.
rnerset, spinster, he being in another count charged
with publishing the same libel, in order to disquiat
and molest Lerd Charles H. Somerset, the father of
the lady calumniated.
Aaidavits were read in extenuation, after which, .
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL spoke id aggravation,
and

Mr. BROUGHAM, in extenuation of punishment ;
the latter expressing in strong terms the regret of hi.
Client, at the unfortunate error into which he had
fallen ; more particularly, that he had suffered the I
unrestrained liberty of the press Placed in his hands,
to be abused in theinstance in question.
M. Justice LE BIANC in passing sentence, ob-
served, that the press in this country did not require
a I en rr ; the moment, however, that puh:ication
took 1.1 a., the person publishing, became on thii
accotuit, in a more peculiar degree, responsible for
the contents of the Papers published by him. Taking
the whole circumstances of the case into consider-
ation, the sentence of Ole Court upon the resent
Defendant wr.s, !hat he do pay to the King a fine or
1001. that he be imprisoned in tl.e gaol of Horsham
for three calendar months ; and that he be ,farther
imprisaited till said fine be paid.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

In the brief remarks which our limits allowed us to
olTer on Mr. BETTY'S first performance, we detailed,
In the spirit of a fair judgment, the impressions which
lie made. Those were not peculiarly favourable;
yet cursory as the view necessarily was, we thought
there was no strong probability of a change in our
opinion. The extravagance of his early popularity
was easily to be accounted for; and his youth,—the
natural interest taken in the exertions of a promising
intellect,—the novelty of exertion at his age,—and
above all, of theatrical exertion, were fully adequate
to draw the attention even of those who had no
644lirr feeling in their hopes, than the promise ai a
Fourte of excitement. But this has been cleared
:'•%ta by film ; and the incense which folly, or fiat.
try), or interest raised, at once concealing and mag-
nifying their Hol, has now left Ma in bis naked me.

only the nonce exposed awl endangered by his elevls•

their display of last night. Mr. B. way be a useful, er
active, or diligent, or decent actor; but w ith this
PIA* he must be content. Nature has denied him
the first and simplest materials of theatrical excel-
lence; and art has not given him even the humble
compensation that art can give. Ile has had his NI
The character in which he has already talk*
41Yeared, is for him of all others the most advan-

Setnriloy morning the Friends, in twenty-four,

Eng'and Colonel liatatt.fom, late British Consul at

the war with this country). and family ; Captain

ear. Captain %taros staying at Norfolk when war
vas declared. He was seized as a• prisoner, and
P:acd under the charge of Lieutenant Swsrr, of the
Amt'ricall Navy, from whom he experienced the ut-
most attention and politenest, until he received a
plscport from Mr. Movraos, restoring him to liberty,
si his going to England.
Tee Virginians are very inveterate in their hosti•
lily to this country. The Friends, on the Sth inst.
fell in with the Delvidera, Captain Reims; and
Shannon, of 38 gun., Captain Baots, on the Banks
of N.,wfoundland, which ships MAD OATTVRED Tile

by superior sailing. The Guerrieri, Capt. DAMES,
was also cruizing on the Batiks. Capt. BROKE (tin-
der whose orders the four British frigates were)
had just obtained information that Commotions

the Banks, .and was gone to the Southward,
which course Captain Waist was also steering,
with alt sail ; and he expressed the most confident
hopes of meeting with him' off New York. His
squadron consisted of the President, United States,
C"gfett, and Constitution frigates; Hornet and
Arras sloops, of 20 guns each. He had taken se.
at.! al of our merchant ships, which be burnt, as he

'A HOSTILE FLEET.

We have been obligingly favoured with extracts
from two letters from New London, conveying the
*mu eicome tidings that a hostile fleet is on our coast,
and probably now near the [look ; the tiers consists
of five sail, two of which are said to be double
deckers. • Where are Commodore ltoooxas and our
infant squadron! we cannot but fear that they have
ventured too far, that they will be overpowered by
superior force, and the ships and their brave crews
will be thus early lost to their country.---(Norfolk
Gazette.)

NEW YORK, JULY 14.

By the French schooner Swallow, 32 (lays from
Hourdeans, we learn, that on the 30th June, she
passed the homeward-bound Jamaica fleet; and, on
the Ist inst. 36 hours after, was boarded by Com.
modore Ronotas' squadron, in pursuit-of the above
fleet.—(New York Gazette.)

`The Governor of Gottenburgh dined with Sir
SAUMAREZ, on board the Victory, a few trays
Lbefore the packet sailed. It has been decreed in the
!•Diet at Orebro, that the law of 1799, respecting do-
miciliary visits for prohibited goods, shall be put in
force.

Recent letters from the Continent,'brought by the
Anliciltymail, mention a circumstance which may be
consid as of some interest:—General LESTOQ, a
Prussiliti General of some celebrity, had quarrelled
with DviterrE, the newly-appointed French Gover-
nor of Berlin, on the subject of politics. A duel
was the consequence, in which the, French Officer
fell, and the Prussian veteran was, of course, im-
mediately obliged to abscond.
From Buenos Ayres, we have been favoured-with
the following communication :—" Our army has had
three conflicts with the Portuguese, in all which the
1 Patriots have been victorious. In the last action the
Portuguese lost, in killed, 300 men; a Portuguese
Brigadier-General has been at Buenos Ayres eight
1 days, in the character of a Negociator ; his purpose
1 is said to have been to propose the retreat of the
i army of the PRINCE REGENT, which is somewhat
endangered by the situation of General ARTIGAS.
Lord Moirt's manner of treating his PRINCE is
not the least amusing part of his narrative. He first
makes his Royal Highness consent to gi#e up the
I Household and then tells him, it shall not be taken
from him. Whoever has seen a person of adult age
' reduce an untoward child to obedience, has seen the
very counterpart of this proceeding. The babe is
ottkigried for some occasional witylvtuvinesi,, by being
deprived of his playthings: at first he clamours,
then whimpers and sobs, and at last ends by ac-
quiescing in the dispensations of his superior.—
" Very well, papa, 1 don't want them, if you think
l'l ought not to have them."—" Oh," quoth the re-
rlenting parent, " now you are a good boy, you shall
have all your trinkets to play with." Just so Lord
MOIRA : " Is your Royal llighness prepared to part
with your Household?"—" I am."—" Then (keep
the baubles) you shall riot part cid& one of them!"
No wonder his Royal Highness declines returning
to his early friends, if they all treated him after this
fashion.

Mr. ATBUTIINOT succeeds Mr. W. POLE 89 Chief
Secretary for Ireland, and Mr. W. PEELE is to be the
new Secretary for the Treasury.

Their lands,.:' it appeared, were separated by a quick-

to others to state, that although he presentea this i
Petition as the act of that respectable and learned I

Chancellor of the University, by both her Proctors,.
by several heads of houses, and by a body of indivi-

he stated this, let it not be supposed that he meant
to derogate from the just weight due to the Petition.
The Petititioners prayed their Lotdships not to listen I

them to receive and to entertain this Petition—to con-

to these all the authority which it justly derived from
the high character of the body from which it proceeds,
and then to put them in the balance against the com-
