The Frehch quarters would be beaten up as
iii the last war. The Emperor had ex-
pressed his resolution to- defend himself tn
the last extremity. Bonaparte had issued
orders to his troops not to modest the un-
armed peasantry, in the hope OF seducing
them from their allegiance.
From the official Russian account of the
battle in which Oudnut was wounded
which we have How first received, we find
what we always suspected, that Count
Wittgemstein was completely triumphant.
a victory i'll this quarter, is indeed, of less
Importance than mere check on the
French Grand Army; but, vet Bonaparte
would not have placed SO large detached
force on his rear or left flank, if it's success
had not been important, its defeat, there
tore, must in the same proportion, tend To
embarrass his own operations.

LONDON, Sept. 10.
In some of the Gottenburg letters, it is
affirmed, that the Crown PRINCE has ac-
tuaiiy set off for Abo accompanied by Ba-
ron ADLERKREUTz, for the purpose of hav-
ing an interview with the Emperor ALEx-
AMBER. We Know not what credit is due
to this report. We give this day che adj
dress delivered by the Crown Prince. at the
close OF the Diet OF Orebro, which preserves
the most guarded silence with regard
10 his political views. 1t is silent on the sub
Iect OF the treaty with England and while
1t alludes to the extension of hostilities from
the banks of the Tagus to those Of the Dwi
ma, 1t processes wish that Sweden may be
enabled to adhere to pacific policy.
