" At the moment that this city is all rejoicing for
the late battle of Borodino, and a report prevails that '
the French have evacuated the whole of Courland, the
Court and the Senate are packing up, and it is said•
will go to Archangel. This information is known but,'
to a fe4, as we hare no further accounts from the ,
Grand Russian Army since the battle of the '7th—at
Least nothing has been published for the information '
of the public. The exchnogo, which opened this
morning at '25, closed at 21. It is whispered that)
the French Enetiton, not being able to force ale
road of Mojaisk at the battle of Borodino, struck off
in a southerly direction, and having gained the road
of Kalouga, marched on Moscow, upon which the
Russian army fell back upon that city.

The new Parliament will, we understand, mtlt.l
fer the dispatch of business en the 21th, of Ana
month: it will then sit for three or four Weeks, and
adjonro till Ft+ruary. Stich, we apprehend, to be
the present intention of Ministers.
Mr. llauGni;m, who has recently been made a Lord
of the Treasury. is sto:d to have obtained his
situation through the interest of the Duke. of
NoRTIIUMILRLA so. There has been an arrangement,
however, made for the recoption of this Gentlemen
into office, of which -we do nut exactly approve. It
was timer found not, till Mr. liaonnem's advance-
ment was necessary, that Mr. JAstrs Ilumx, a Com-
missioner of Customs, was in need of superannuation :
bot on this discovery occurring thus opptirtunely to
suit the Duke of Nottritemntat.Ann, Mr. Hume is
superannuated from the Costoms, and Mr. S. BARN&
one of the existing Lords of the Treasury, removes
from that his superior office of uro•ertaiu duration,
into Mr. Ilona's, which is one of permanent pay.—
This is like tumbling from the rack into the manger ;
and by such a ca,ualty is the opettins made for Mr.
BROGDEN ; who, except the first remove was indis-
pensable, is a new officer unnecessarily attached to
the country.
The Governors of Massachusetts and Connecticut
bare refused to place the militia under Gen. Ds:sm-
arms, Itemise the Constitution positively directs
that the militia, µh:•a called into service, shall be
t.ommanded by officers appointed by the States.

A Scotehmaa, one day, went before a r.i,r.rnittee.
Where he made a stralve speech, and tried to be witty $
Said the girls, in his town, ware Bilk etuchings on Sunday,
And, more shocking to tell, roiled their faces on Monday.
The Orders in Council be very much prais'd,
And his speech, though recorded, was quickly er..•ed.

The Military llot•pital at Plymouth W 33 re-open-
ed last week, under the direction of a Medical Stall,
for the reception of .150 brave fellows from our army
in Spain. The fortitude and gallant spirit exhibited
by these men are beyond all prai,e, and they seem to
regrt.t nothing but their ittab;iitr to partake with their
late comrades in farther success. One young man
bas lust both legs and one of his arms, by a' shell.
