The Marshal Of the Palace, Durcc, went
on the Oath TO the mead quarters of the Rus
army on the other side Of the Niemen,
to exchange the ratification of the armis-
uce, which had been ratified by The Empe-
ror Alexander.
1t IS already seen, by the armistice, that
the left wing of the French army supports
itself on the Curish Half, at the mouth Of
the N,encn, from whence our line extends
itself towards Grudno; the right, conlnan-
ded by Marshal Massena, reaches 10 the
Confines of Russia, between the sources OF
the Narcw and the Bug. The head quar-
ters are about TO be removed to IEonirsbere,
where every day new discoveries are made
OF provisions, ammunition and other effects
belonging to the enemy.
A position so formidable is the result Of
successes the most brilliant; and while the
enemy's army flies routed aud almost des-
troyed, more than half tile French army
has net fred musket.

ri7diction Instead, therefore, of going on
board the Columbine by compulsion, the
commander Of the gun boat should have
struck her colours, or have suffered her to
nave been sunk. His having no powder on
board, as he has allcdged, is no adequate
excuse, for with powder lie could have,
made no effectual resistance.
For every wrong there is a remedy. This
fresh attack could not have been contemn-
lated or anticipated by the proclamation,

tercnurse. But the attack is upon rights so
inherent that no law can abridge them, nor

upon tie Columbine, as if he had been the
person fired at? The lapse Of a few DAYS

additional insults. The pilot boat was or
dered by the commander of the Columbine
to weigh anchor and remo-e farther off. OF.
he would compel her. To this order no at
tention was paid ; she continued where She
was, and no violence was immcdiateiv of
re ed. But ON Saturday morning, under
pretence OF having missed hand, the nj
lot boat was boarded from the Columbine
by men armed with pistols, Cutlasses, and
Olunderbusscs, who swore that The man was
concealed on board and that they would
search every nook and corner for him. hc-
