CENTINEL SUMMARY.

q Prior advices from tyote,
through France and Portugal, had in
dictated the ftages to which the tri
umphant eagles of RnDTa had ad-
vanced /; but fome details then omit
ted are now fupplied'-The defeat
of MoRAND was not before known.
The Cchaoks and other flying troops
it had been known, kept very far in
advance of the RuiIian main armies
and II Q which were making hate
flowly. Having overrun Poland, and
conquered the alliance of PyuDTa, the
RulIian Great Generals were pro-
ceeding with a iteady rep into the
vafal domains of the jpurpeymen
Kings and Princes of NAPOLEON, and
were preiling the ftrong holds which
the French had left garriioned in
their retreat. But the progrefs Of
the Ruflian main armies, though
flow, was unchecked And with the
Deceive iteps taken by PyuNia the
active cooperation of thu Swed S,
Bernadotte at their hcad-and the
partizan war which the numerous
patriot bans of the countries reltored
TO freedom, would be able to make,
it was confidently thought would be
iufficient at leait to impede the ad.
vance of all the force which the
French Emperor-by his mightieft
effort could collect. The French

Mr. E. Mix ofthe navy, gentleman OF ingenui-

preparing Torpedoes to attempt the explosion OF
some of the enemy's shipping in Lynhaven Bay
The British "a gun ship Plantagenet. that has for
month past been laying abreast of Cape Henry
light house, and has rarely had the company OF any
oher vessel, appeared to Mr.. Mix as the most ia
vourable object for trying his experiments on.
Accordingly on the night ofthe 18th July, accom-
panied by Capt bowman of Salems and mdship-
man MCGOWAN, of the u. States navy, who volun-
teered their assistance during the whole of the
terprze, he left his place of rendezvous and pro-
ceeded down to the plantagenet, "a, in large o.
pen boat, which he calls the Chesapeakss Revenge,
and from previous observations found no difficulty
in asceraning the position of the ship When he
had got to within 40 fathom Of her, he dropped the
torpedo over in the very instant OF doing which he
was hailed by one of the enemy's guard boats
The machine was speedily taken into the boat again,
and he made his way off in safety. On the night OF
the 10Th he made another attempt, and was again
discovered ere be could accomplish his purpose

was to put Commodore Chauncey to school
and teach him the elements ofseamanship
has run into the inner harbor of King
atom, dismantled his vessels and erected
with their guns battery on the shore
This gallant exploit he performed on learn
ing that the Gen, Pike was finished and
the American commander, though inferior
IN force, was ready to bid him defiance
On the Lake In this situation they were
seen by one of our squadron sent in as
nag OF truce. Com Chauncey, when our
informant left Sacketts Harbor had re-
moved the guard boats by which the flotil.
Ia had been surrounded, and was ready to
sail Ills object probably is, to attack the
BRITISH in Kingston. We derive our infor.
