This man, whine • daring, but unfortunate en.
tarprize in (he present campaign, has made his
Male so well known in this country, was previ-
misty a conspicuous character in Germahy. The
following particulars respecting his conduct in the
war between France and Prussia, are ettracted
from a work published some time ago at Berlin :
I.ieut. Schill, born of an obscure, and by no
means wealthy family, in Silesia, served.as an offi-
cer in the queen's regiment of dragoons. lie
was very little noticed, as he spent no money,
contracted no debts, did nut play, and paid at-
tention to nothing but military matters. lie was
in the battle of Auerstadt wills his regiment, on
the 14th of October, and was wounded in the
head. In the general confusion, he escaped being
taken prisoner, got his wound hound up, and
went to Colberg, where he effected his cure.—
Durinikis stay there, repeated Intelligence was re-
trivet' of the rapid approach of the French also to
Culberg; on which, though, not perfectly reco.
vered, he took horse with his servant, and left
Culberg ; he fell in with some dragoons of his own
regiment on the way to Stargard, who joined him.
Several other volunteers having also joined, he
made some small attempts on the French forage
and prevision transports, which they brought from
the right to the left bank of the Oder. These at.
tempts succeeding, he aspired to still greater ; he
extended his attacks also to the convoys of mo-
ney, and now endeavoured to reduce his opera-
tions to some order and plan.
Napoleon hail directed his line of principal ope-
rations above Berlin and Custrin, along the Vis-
tula to Thorn and Warsaw. The light corps was
to ever.run Silesia, and another from Stettin to
act against Swedish Pomerania and Stralstind.--
Upper and Lower Pomerania and the coasts of
the Baltic, appeared at first to have escaped his
notice, and probably he believed that these pro-
vinces would naturally fall into his hands the mo.
ment he should make himself master of thc Vis-
tula from Warsaw to Dantzic and Elbing. Schill
observed this, and availed himself of this extea.
sire field that was opened to him. Entirely cut,
off from the Royal Army, from his resourcesl
alone, he formed a corps composed of Tullis.
teers and other young men, who wished to form
themselves for a military lift. By means of the.
money, provisions, and horses, ifcc. which he had
taken from the French, lie formed an indiipendent
corps of from 800 to 1000 men, which consisted
mostly of cavalry, the infantry in linen frocks,
barefooted, and half naked ; the cavalry mostly
without saddles, their swords hanging by a cord
round their shoulders ; he now carried and ea.
tended his ravages, and kept the right bank of the
Oder from Stutgard to the sea-coast. The French
Commander, weakened by the great distance of
-his main army, and compelled to reinforce his
-head-qiiarters on the left bank of the Oder, could,
not make any impression on Schill, and his ra-
vaging corps ; wherefore he advanced without in-
terruption, provide,: Colbergstiflicientiy %ski' pro.
visions, brought over from Sweden arms and am.
munition, sent the Royal army several thousand
guilders, of which he had not ilmnediately need,
'and was thus enabled to rely always un Culberg
In his rear as a sure depit.
By his exertions the obtaining of provisions
for the Prussian and Russian armies from the Bal.
tic, and of course to make a strong diversion, in
order to suppress the Silesian insurrection under
Pless, were rendered unnecessary. At last, the
Italian regiments that had arrived in Berlin, ,svere
sent against Culberg there by the way of Stutgard,
and another corps from Stettin by Wullin, and an-
other by Pommerillen, in order to put a final stop
to Schill's operatioos, and to reduce Colberg.
Schill was uuw obliged to retreat by Stargard,
Naugard, and Wollen, and to retire under the
cannon of Colberg. Here it was his first care to
;fortify the villages of Sell°, llohenberg, Schans,and
Maykhull, and to put them in a proper state of de_
'hose, which lie did in spite of all the unfavourable
sitcom:lances, as well as the short time would
permit him. Schill then went to Sweden to pro.
cure succours, and if possible.to relieve Colberg.
The King, however, ordered him with his corps to
go to Stralsund. With a design to carry it ofd',
he appeared before Colberg with eight vessels, but
only carried half a squadron of cavalry, as the
Commandant refused him the rest, while he himself
had-so much need of them. Schill thus came to
Stralsund, and at last joined the corps of Blucher,
to which ho was appointed Major. Wien Major
Schill, after the evacuation of Berlin by the
French, on the 10th. of December, arrived with
the advanced guard of his corps to that capital,
ho was there almost adored be the people. Fre-
derick William 11. honour&J his services 60 much,
that the military division to which Major Scl,ill
had given birth, was always called by his name.

IVe understand Covent-Garden Theatre is to be
lighted by most superb glass chandeliers, each
containing twelve patent lamps, on a new model,
so as to prevent the bad effect which generally pro.
seals from the use of oil. The chandeliers arc to
he fixed to-morr,ow, and it is expected they will be'
lighted on Wednesday, to try their effect.
Pocice.—livimaueGir.—Friday, two young
men were hued 40s. besides damages to the private
parties, for encouraging their dogs to attack dif-
ferent persons upon the South Bridge, on the
morning of Sunday se'nnight ; and several per.
sons were fined for allowing their dogs to go at
large.
On Monday last was committed by the Magis.
trates of Birmingham, to Warwick gaol, Edward
Jamex,alias Ned Egleton, alias Alexander Thom-
pson, for returning from the hulks, being under
sentence of transportation. This is an old alien.
der, and one of those who made such a desperate
resistance when apprehended by the Peace Officers
of that town a few weeks past.
In consequence of some trifling dispute on the
evening of the 17th ult. a meeting took place on
Bray Commons, near Dublin, between Lieut. S.
Adjutant 4d Garrison Battalion, and Lieut. P.
of the same Regiment, and after an exchange of
two shots each, it was amicably settled by the iu.
terference of the seconds.
Evtract of a letter Trois Dr. Hartsceker, of Amsterdam,
to Dr. Audrey. of Paris:—" My dear Sir, to give yoga my
" opinion on the case yoga wrote me, I believe that worms
le are the cause of almost every ease %SE wills which UMW
" kind are aMieted I and also the brute creation is destroyed
" l/ vermin of various kinds. More than 300 different sorts
66 etworms have bees discovered, many of whom are as
" small as mites. and are seen in the stools of infants. Dr.
" Ramsay, of Edinburgh, assert.' they are observed in the
" blood, w hen patients ore in ill hesit h. They bring on fevers,
" and es en fits, and which kill thourands of the human species,
" before they are ever suspected to be the cease."—P. S. We
:sish that :Any Medical Gentleman could and a cure for

Wedneaday last, Mrs.• W.tuten, of Louth,
was furiously attacked, and bitten in the hand in
several places by a large dog, which also bit two
childron immediately afterwards. The animal was
instantly secured, amt proved to be in the last I
stage of madness. Every precautionary tncans
have been used to prevent the dreadful effects
which might result from this alarming accident.—
The knife and caustics have been ap, lied to the la-
cerated parts, and we doubt nut but they w►ll
prove effectual.
SLEEPING GUAIIDIANg..---A curious kind of
frolic, if it might be so dernsibiliated, was played
at Shepperton, Middlesex, out the night of Monday
last. The orchard belonging to Mr. Porter,
which was well stocked with fruit, had been
robbed, and in order to prevent further deprecia-
tions,
two steady men were placed to watch the
premises at night, with loaded blunderbusses, and
a hut, built with trusses of straw and hurdles, was
ercctod for their accommodation. On Monday
night some heedless wags set fire to the said hut,
and the watchmen, who were fast asleep, escaped
with some difficulty, and left their blunderbusses,
the contents of which exploded,to the terror of the
village. A reward has been offered for the ap-
prehension of the incendiary, but there is no trace
of him.
