RE- ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF POLAND. WARSAW, JULY 1.— Our country begins to emerge fron its ruins. Poland is re- estiblished. A Gene- ral Diet lias been assembled at Warsaw, and in the Sitting of the 28tli of June, a Committee mad? the fallowing report :— " GENTLEMEN— If ever there existed among men an important commission, or if ever there was an ho nourahie task assigned them, it is, without doubt, that which we have received from you. It ever a work directed to the mind and to the heart all that is cal- culated to rouse the one or influence the other, it is certainly that to which you have directed our attention. Placed, by a concourse ot prodigies, at the cjose of the drama, in which our country perished, between the yet recent cradle ot one part of that same country,- and the tomb still open of the other— the pictuie which we have to present to you, the accents in which we should address you, to be faithful, ought to parti- cipate in the awful mixture of life and death. They ought, at the same time, to convey hope and consola- tion to the hearts of the victims, and terror to those of their oppressors. But that is not enough ; it is fit that there should be placed in your hand, the thread which Is to conduct you towards the issue of the labyrinth of misfortune, into which you have been made to w inder during halt a century. Your foot- steps must be firmly placed in the new path, which circumstances lay open before vou. " Such is the extent of the relations, under which your Committee has viewed the labour you have com- mitted to its ci large. The Committee has felt, that they hail to appear before Europe as well as before you ; before ages to come, as well as before the pre- sent generation ; before nations, as well as before So- vereigns ; they have said to themselves, above all, that they spoke before the greatest of sovereigns, as before their own great nation. They have felt all the sanctity of your cause, the magnitude of its results ; and more sustained than terrified by those powerful motives, they come to lay nt the feet of this Senate, a woik, of which they make an offering to the country, in the persons of those in whom it has placed its confidence and its hope. " For a long time there had existed in the centre of Europe a celebrated nation, mistress of an exten- sive and fertile country, renowned for the double f;) ine of arts and arms ; defending for ages the barriers of Europe with an unwearied arm against the barbarians who raged round its borders, and by a feature of cha- racter as honourable as peculiar, never using its mili- tary greatness to attempt against its neighbours those acts which violence has often coloured with the pretext of right. A numerous population flourished on this soil: the liberality of nature answered to their labours. The Monarchs of the land had often taken their place, in history, beside tiiose who had most honoured the supreme rank: the dignity of sitting on her throne was solicited ort all sides; and, if casual dissentions broke foith in her o^ n bosom, the clouds obscured only her own horizon, and did not oo forth to spread I the storm affr. Getatl- ffleri, this land was Poland — this people was yourselves,; and what, now are you ?—- In vain our eyes Itjolc round on that assemblage whose ( reunion was once the source of our glory^ Alas! i those whom we now pee Only remind us of those whom j we ought to see j and the feeble good which we have I been permitted to enjoy, Only impress too strongly, on !' us the loss which we have sustained. But how has • this dissevering of our country bten wrought? How has this great family,_ which even in all its divisions never separated—' which retained its union even through ages of dissentiofi « — how has this powerful family j looked ons and suffered itself to he torn asunder ? j What have been its crimes?— What its jud « es ' Wh at the right by which it has been attacked, invad- ed, blotted out from the list of states and people ?— Whence have come its oppressors and its chains ? The indignant universe will answer y. oa for us. Every state, every people, will tell you, ' that it thought it saw its tomb opening beside that of Polmd. Tn the daring profonation of those laws on which all forms of'society equally depend, in the insolent contempt with which they were trampled on to ruin us, the world might well think that it was to be given up to the sole empire of interests, and that those were to he its only masters for the time to come. Europe, terri- fied, and threatened, pointed out above all to your just resentment that power which, in crushing you, only prepared to press upon her with new impetus. We must not doubt it ; it is Russia which has been the au- thor of ail our evils. Not content with a possession of a quarter of the globe, the world itself would scarce- ly have been large enough for her thirst of dominion. For a century she has been advancing with the stride of a giant towards countries that had scarcely heard her very name. With Peter the first the veil was raised, behind which an immense empire was forming, and where every tiling excited the inhabitants to renew on Europe the devastating incursions of their fore- fathers. This new display ought to have frozen Eu- r ipe with terror, and made her seek, in her strongesst precaution, the means of meeting this new danger: she ought ti have shut her ports against the ambitious Prince who came to initiate himself in all the secret3 of her arts, only, with them, to , inn her against the hands of his ferocious and slavish people; and when Pultowa seemed only to have decided between Charfes and Peter, Europe was conquered almost at the same moment with Sweden. Poland immediately felt the effects of this aggrandisement of the Russian power. Placed on the borders of this territory, she felt its first as she has felt its lust blows. Who can enumerate them from " 717, when she tried her first influence by tampering with the Polish army ? From that era what moment has been exempt from her influence and her outrages ? In the first instance she interfered with that liberty of choice which had always fixed the Sovereigns of our country: she practised against the rights, of which the nation had always exhibited the keenest jealousy. In a short time our richest inheri- tances were the reward of the favourites of her So- vereigns ; our children, dragging into her armies, were forced to shed the blood which none but Rus sians should have poured ; our harvests were ( fathered for her soldiers; everv new War saw the Russiin standards flsating over the plains of Poland ; it was by trampling the Polish soil that the Russian pover approached gradually the body of Europe, over which it aspired to have the sole dominion. " If this crafty power ever united itself with Poland, it was to impose on her as in 1761., that fatal giaran- tee, which connected the integrity of our frontier with the perpetual existence of anarchy, to make of that anarchy an instrument of its ambition. The world know what their conduct has been since that fital era. It is since that time that from division to division, Poland has totally disappeared, without guilt as with- out revenge. It is since that time, that ( he Poles have heard with inward indignation the insulting' lan- guage of the Rep lins, of the Sivei s, whom they haft seen laying an audacious hand on the reins jf Govern- ment. It is since that time, that an hundred times the Russian soldier has been bathed in the blood of their countrymen, as a prelude to that day, for evt^ r ac- cursed, ( do we require it brought to our memories?) when in the midst of the boastings of an absurd con- queror, Warsaw heard the cry of Praga, which was at last extinguished in blood and ( i ime>. Men of Poland— for the time is come t » make that name ring in your ears ; a name which is your own, which you ought never to have given up; see here the de- testable means by which Russia has arrived at the pos session of your finest provinces ; see here the titles, the only titles, which she can assert over you. Force has chained you ; force can break the chains which it has forged, and they shall be broken. What! can • r. • you doubt it when you look at what is passing on each side of you ? Look 1 see if, of all that caused your ruin, a single feature remains ! In the immense change which draws the world in its current, what do you find to remind you of the ancient dangers of your country ? Instead of the jealousy of the great powers which nurtured in European anarchy like that which tore your own bosom, a single spirit seems to animate the entire, your plains are covered with stand- ards astonished at their new fraternity. Instead of neighbours eager for your spoils and accomplices in ysur ruin, ail have united their arms to your's— in- stead of those shadows of armies which the entire of your early territory once scarcely furnished, numerous iegions springing up as if by enchantment, from a cor- ner of the same soii, glittering in the splendour of re- cent victory, formed in the school of the greatest of all captains, by the example of the greatest of all ar- mies, threaten your spoilers with their sabres of stee', raised from the same soil from which themselves have risen, and burn to hear the hour of vengeance strike. Instead of the feeble help which France once gave to the necessities of Poland, she now gives her whole vigour. France and Poland have always been friends — love has always been returned by love. The first complete use which Poland made of her liberty of election was, to call a Prince of the blood of France to the throne. It was to France that Casimir looked for consolation in his sufferings on the Polish throne — it was in France that Stanislaus realized the bene- volent projects which he had destined for Poland. — It is with nations as with men, the sympathies of interest form the most indissoluble bonds But those ties were strongest between France and Poland. Those powers were necessary to each othei. ! What do we say ? Poland was necessary to Europe. She was necessary as a barrier against those hordes of half- refined barbarians who had always the strongest • temptation to lay waste and to conquer the softer cli- mates of the South. Their attempts and invasions were becoming worthy of combined European policy to defeat. Within the last fifty years, Russia had deluged the South of Europe with her'armies. The Turkish crescent was half broken ; Frederick himself cannot defend his capital. In those later times, Italy has received them with horror among her smiling plains, and in vain invoked a new Miriin. Who could believe it, the cries of the Scythian Savage were heard round the. tomb of the Ma'ntuan Swan ? In their daring imprudence, thousands of those slaves, mowed down by the sabreS of Frenchmen, came to fatten with their blood the free soil of Switzerland. It required the arm of an hero to stop at Austerlitz the progies3 of their battalions ; at a stiil more recent tmie, the arm of the same hero was required to throw them back into their native forests. Those dangers liave at length taught the nature and the necessity of their remedy ; and that Prince whose calculations em- brace the future with as much facility as th( j present— he founder of a vast empire— has not been wanting to give it solidity. He knows that there must be a bar- rier, eternal and impenetrable, against the invasions of ignorance and barbarism. He knows that- there must be a frontier which wiil separate polished nations from savage ; that it must be fenced with iron and the sword. He knows that the people, placed in the advanced guard of Europe, must have all the strength adequ. tte to secure its repose. Thus, if once all things conspired our ruin, all things now unite for our resto- ration. Poland shall exist at last. At last! she ex- ists now, or rather she has never ceased to exist.— What have the perfidy, the plots, the outrages under which she sunk, to do with her rights? Yes, we aie Poland, and we are so by all the rights which we have from nature, from the laws of society, from oar fore- fathers, from all those consecrated titles which the human race have established. And not we only, but those vast countries which look up to us for their li- beration. Our country, like a fond parent, always holds open her arms for the return of her children, and all its members have at all times the right to return to the family from which they were torn. Polanders, you shall not be long withheld from the joyful accla- mation, that the kingrlom of Poland, and the existence ot the body of the Polish territory, is re- established. But to give this movement an irresistable force, let us interrogate the history of our ancestors,— let us en- quire what the ardent love of their country suggested, — let us only avoid the dangers which have deprived so many confederations of the effects which they ought to have produced. Their experience must not be lost upon us. We must impress on our Confederation a character of the strictest union,— we must make it a central point, round which to gather wi'hout confu- sion, or without requiring more than to know what is to l. xi done when we have assembled. Then what force of man can stop the unanimous movement of a great- people,— the forward spi ing of a people recover- ing its ancient existence, and which, to secure it more fully, forgets all its past sufferings, and offers itself to fly from sacrifices to sacrifices ? Oh! happiest of days, days of triumph and rejoicing ; before thee dis- appear all the days which ought to be blotted from our history, and the memory of man. Among all days, this day shall be renowned. The descendants of the Piasts and the Jagellons may yet bear the name before which the tyrants that oppressed them have grown pale. New Sigismonds and new Sobieskis will arise; and the world shall learn, that to produce the fruit of all the nobler virtues, the soil of Poland has only to be tilled by the hands of freemen. And you, venerable citizen, ( the Count Czartoryski ap- pointed Grand Marshal of the Diet) who for near a century of virtue have yielded to the wishes of your fellow- citizens to preside over the most surprising scene of their history, how tender and touching a les- son does the reward of your integrity this day offer ; placed, if we may use the expression, at the two ex- tremes of the life of your country, you will have as- sisted at the twilight of its first life, and the dawn of its second ; you will have seen it sink into the tomb, and rise in the purity of resurrection. It is to accom- plish the generous resolution for the liberty of Poland, that your Committee has the honour of presenting the Act of the following Confederation :— ACT OF TIIE GENERAL CONFEDERATION OF POLAND. We, the undersigned, composing the General Diet, assembled at Waisaw, feel the moment that in which every thing around excites our admiration, and per- vades our hearts wijh ardent patriotism. We feel our nation called upon to make the most energetic exertions ; that the eyes of the world are fixed upon us, and that posterity, in judging of our conduct, will either bless or execrate our memories. Being desir- ous of seriously contemplating our actual relations, we have appointed a Committee to consider of, and report to us those relations ; thus wishing to profit by all those means Heaven has dispensed to us, in order to arrive at the object of our desires. Our effort is complet- ed ; in the leport of ourCommittees arepourtrayed those sentiments which animate us, and at the same time, the line of conduct is pointed out which we should follow. And according to these important representations, we have resolved to unite, and form a general Confedera- tion. In order to evince the purity of our motives and our objects, we declare, in the face of heaven and earth, and of the Polish nation, that we have no other view than the restoration of our country, hitherto dismembered by unprincipled violence, and to regenerate its pristine prosperity and indepen- dence ; that we unite in general confederation, with consent, and under the authority of our gracious So- vereign, Frederick Augustus, Grand Duke of War- shaw, and King of Saxony, having at our head the Prince Adam Czartor isky, Staroste, General of Pado- lia, Nunceo, ( Nonce) of Warsaw, a citizen respecta- ble by his age and virtues— that we continue faithful to the religion of our fathers, the Catholic and Apo- stolic, at the same time we dispense a perfect tole- rance to all other faiths, following thus the examples of our ancestors in times when all Europe was afflict- ed with sanguinary religious wars— that we respect the authorities of the throne, the laws of the nation, and that we cherish in all its purity that national spi- rit, which for ages has been the distinguishing cha- racteristic of the Polonese. Guided by similar considerations, we are unwilling to arrive by any but the most legal means, at our glo- riotis object; And well recollecting the disastrous, events which have passed, we declare that the general confederation will never aberrate from the path it has prescribed, rior tolerate abuses, which must end but in the ruin of the country. In consequence the ad- ministration of justice will vest in the legal authorities ; while the Confederation shall exercise in full plenitude those prnyers which appertain to a general assembly of" the nation labouring in the grand work of restoring the country, and propagating with all its energies, a national enthusiasm; In order to confer on the Confederation, composed of the Members of the Diet, the whole Public Na- tional Authorities, 8cc. the means of proceeding with activity, we delegate the power with which it is in- vested to a Council General, which shall be assisted by the Marshal, and shall hold its sittings at Warsaw, and as art enterprise originating in motives so virtuous justly merits it, we have sent a deputation to his Ma- jesty, the King of Saxony, to honour it with his for- mal approbation. The cause of suffering innocence cannot be regard- ed but as that of God ; so brilliant a procedure must extend its influence throughout Europe. This reno- vation, which will afford to the woiid an example of what should be done for oppressed humanity, which will restore Poland to its ancient prosperity, will pre- sent to the first Empire in the world an ally, equally faithful and worthy. An ally which, from its geo- graphical situation and national character, it will have nothing to apprehend from, but every thing to hope ; and therefore we must fondly conclude that such a* empire will not refuse our virtuous undertaking its powerful assistance. We shall lav at the feet of that throne the assurance of our confidence and devotion, and implore that its creating woid may complete that existence which we have incipiently received from it. But in order to render ourselves worthy of this glo- rious protection, we most solemnly aver, that no pos- sible event shall chill that patriotic ardour which unites us ; that we shall persevere in our glorious ca- reer, until we have re- united to our bosoms all those members of our common family, those brothers of our love, which the land of tyranny has separated from us. Pol mders ! You whom we thus call again to our bo- som, judge of our feelings by your own. We imploi « you in the name of our common mother to unite mu- tually all your powers, and to fly to her support.— Let her- again press you to her heart; she presents to your exertions the equal road to virtue and to glory. Let us join in brotherly union, and the Divine tice will not withold our deserved recompeuce. We shall again see the arms of Lithuania grace our es- cutcheons, and hear the fertile fields of Volhinia, as well as the vast plains of Podolia, and the Ukraine, resound with the joyous shouts— Live Poland ! — live our Country ! It is therefore decreed as follows :— 1. The Diet constitutes itself a General Confederation of Poland. 2. The General Confederation of Poland, exercising in all their fullness the powers which belong to the general nssociatior, of the nation, declares, tlust the lt « » g< V>" i .1" Po- land, and the body of the Polish nation, are re- established. All the Dietines of the Duchy shall be convoked, and shall adhere to the Confederation. They shifll transmit the acts to the Council General oftlie Confederation. 4. All the Poles are invited, and authorised to join the Confederation, whether collectively or individually, and to communicate as speedily as possible their adhesion to the Council General. 5. All the poitidrts of the Polish territory are invited to jon the Confederation, in proportion as the enemy's remo- val shall enable tliem to do so. They are invited forthwith to form Dictates which shall send deputies to convey their acts of adhereuce to the Council General. These sluill be- come members of the Diet of the General Confederation. 6. All officers, soldiers, civil and military agents, Pole* by birth anil inhabiting the Polish territory unjustly retain- ed by the Russians, are summoned to abandon thu service of that power. 7. All the military men shall be replaced tinder the colourt of Poland ; and all the civil agents may be replaced, each in a corresponding department of the Polish administration. 8. All the ecclesiastical, civil, and military authorities shall each in his department make known the existence, l « spirit, and the object of the Confederation. Per this pur- pose, the Bishops shall issue their charges ; the Prefects Subprefects, and Mayors, shall publish to thoje under their jurisdiction, all the acts relative to this Confederation, and Calculated to enlighten or support the spirit of the district* confided to their care.

They were hrnusrht last ni rht KIT Cap*. Hargrave. One account savs. " that th" Belvidera frigate,'* which our readers will recollert was st- iteH in the Jast American papers to harp bcon off" New York, " was attacked hy a squa- dron oft'irpp American fricfites, a brief, and a schoon- er. on 23d June, with which in a most masterly and gallanrmanncr she sustained a running fi? ht of several hours duration, and arrived safe at Halifax. On her way thither, an opportunity of retaliating presented itself to the RelvTdera, having fallen in with three American vps « eK which she captured and carried in- to port. Admiral Sawyer, however, not having re- • chived any account of the American Government having declared war ajrainst this country, ordered the itnmi'Hiate liberation of those vessels, in order that the circumstance should not afford any further hostile prptence to them. In the above action the Belvidera harl three men killed and eighteen wounded." The two following accounts are from Portsmouth: PorTSMoUtH, JutLY 25.— This afternoon the Mac- k'arel schooner arrived from Halifax with dispatches from Admiral Sawyer, relating, that on 94th ult, the belvidera frigate, Capt. Byron, was cruising off San- dyhook, hut not in sight of land, when she fell in with an American squadron, consisting of the Presi- dent. united States, Congress, and Essex frigates and Hornet sloop of war, which ships, as soon as they were within point- blank shot, without the least previous communication with the Belvidera, commenc- ed firing upon her. The Belvidera, of course, made sail from so superior a hostile force, - and the Ameri- cans pursued her, maintaining a running fight with her, as lono- as she was within r> ach of shot ; in the course of which she had two men killed, and Capt. Byron yas much hurt in the thigh, by a gun falling upon him. The Belvidera made the best of her way to Halifax, to acquaint Admiral Sawyer of the trans- action, and repair her damages. On her arrival there Admiral Sawyer sent Capt. Thompson, in the Cali- bre sloop of war, with a flag of truce, to New York, to request an explanation of the matter; dispatched the Rattler to Bermuda, and the different cruising stations, to order all his squadron to assemble at Ha- hfax ; and sent Capt. Harp- rave in the Mackan 1 to En- viand with dispatches for Government. The M. i. k ' H has had a good passage of 2G days from Hali- fax. Capt. Hargrave, the moment he had landed, set n< F for London. " The mackarel left the Africa flag- ship), Belvi- dera, and Plumper at Halifax ; the Indian was to sail the next day for the Br: y of Fundy, to bring the tim- ber ships to England ; the Spartan was at Quebec, but rh<- Tartarus had sailed to relieve her, and ' to bring home the fur ships ; the Shannon and Guer- riere were cruizing together ; and the JEO'US, Atn- lanfa. nn't Morgiana were likewise in company on the coast." FRACAS UPON ' CHANGE.— Saturday morning. Vr. B. an iron. master, attended at ihe Mansion- house ro exhibit articles of the peace against Mr. J-. and his- brother, insnrance- br kers. Sir John Famer presided in the abserce of the Lord Mayor. Vr. p. stated, that on the Royal Exchange, on hursday last, these Gentlemen had conduced themselves towards him in a mannpr so as to ex- citp against him the indignation of the merchants, and that in cnsfquence he was hustled off'Change. He acknowledged ' ha' he had been guilty of an )-. ' toons off- nce towards th? family i and that he had cunfes ed his sins, and had offered every rfpara- t: on in his power ; ar- ri if that was not satir. faflory, he wa= ready to render himself amenable to the la vs cf his country. Sir John said, that indigna- tion of ij, e merchants, it appeared to him, had been roused hy the knowledge of his ( Mr. B.' s) con- dufl to an unfortunate young female, and they as. serhbled in one body, and drove him off ' Change.- It was theret'ore impossible that he could bind over the whole of the merchants to keep the peace ; but he said, ip future, if he should observe any person in particular, aiding or abetting in hustling him on the.' Change, he would be entitled to exhibit arti- cles of peace against him The following parti- culars of this distressing affair were stated : Mr. J. L. married an amiable woman, a widow, with six children. The third daughter was a young hdv of abour 15 years of age, and esteemed truly b'autifol. Mr. B. is a married m in about years of age, and was a professed friend of Mr, L.' s family. In November last, when Mr. L. was op- pressed hy sickness and misfortune, Mr. B. made to him oye'tmes of assistance, and manifested to. wards the family many afts of kindness and atten- tion ; but it was under this mask of friendship that Mr. B. succeeded in seducing the younig lady in tjnesticn. As an aggravation of the crime, Mr. B. impressed his wife with the belief that the young lady wa* ill- tieated at home, and prevailed on her to give her an asvlum at their house.

Among the lat'rr is Cant. Bvon, who was much hurt in the thigh by a gun falling upon him. The B ' lvider^ *. ia<' e the best of her way to Halifax, to acquaint Admi- ral Sawver with the transaction. On her passage she fell in with three American vessels, wiiich she captured and carried into port, in retaliation for the attack of the American frigates ; but Admiral Sawy r not having received any account of the American Government having decUred war against this country, ordered the immed are libe- ration of those vessels, that the circumstance should not afford any further hostile pretence to them. The Adimral, at the same time, sent Captain Thompson, in the Calibre sloop of war, with a fl ig of trice, to New- York, to request an explanation of the matter; and dispatched the Rattler to Bermuda, and the different cruizing stations, to order all his squadron to assemble at Halifax. Halifax Papers to the 19th ult. have arrived, but they contain nothing material. The death of Mr. Perceval was known there. An Anholt Mail arrived in London on Satur. day, by which advices have been received from St. Petershurgh to the 2d, from Riga to the 6th, and from Gottenburgh to the 17th inst. The let- ters from Gottenhurgh inform us, that the Rus sian army reached the Dwina on the 7th, and was concentrating on its bank*. All the different di- visions of the Russian army are reported to have effetfed their retreat in good order, and without permitting their communications to be intercept- ed. The cavalry of the enemy had not appeared within some miles of the Dwina. From the ac- counts in his last Bulletin, it appears to have suf- fered severely, from a storm, as is stated, but we suspeft from the deficiency of forage, occasioned by the prudent system of the Russians, in laying waste the country as thev recede. It appears at present the intention of the Russians to fall back on St Petersburgh, where the Emperor is stated to have arrived, and to have issued a proclamation. — The letters from Gottenburgh leave our rela- tions with Sweden nearly in the same state as be- fore. It does not appear that Bernadotte had paid that visit to the British Admiral which was expected, but it seems that the best understand- ing existed between the Swedish Authorities and the British agents, as Sir J. Saumarez, Mr. Thornton, and other persons of distinction, had been to dine with the Governor of Gottenburgh. It is added in some of the communications, that Mr. Thornton had arrived there with a view to consult Sir J. Saumarez respefling the conveyance of 25 000 Swedish troops, which it was intended to assemble on the coast for a particular service. The accounts from Gottenburgh bring a report ot the defeat of the Frenoh at Poltosk, with the loss of 600') men ; we believe, however, that this can only have reference to the storm, in which the French army, by their own accounts, are stat- ed to have suffered severely. We see no reason to think that any affair of importance has uken place beyond the retreat of the Russians, and the destruction of their magazines. PACKET BY EX PRESS. We stop the press to acknowledge the arrival of the Loudon Papers of Tuesday, by express from Donaghadee. The/ are in a great degree unim- portant. Parliament, it is said, will not be prorogued immediately, as was expected, but will adjourn from time to time, until the arrival of decisive news from America. JI& RRVED. MAILS SINCE OUR LAST. DU* S I Br DONAGHASEE O 2 ... BY DUBLIN 1 BELFAST, Saturday, August !, 1812. The London Papers of Monday the 27. th, which have arrived at this Office, bring intelligence of considerable importance. We are concerned to state that dispatchcs have heen received by Government, from Admiral Sawyer, on he Halifax station, communicating the distressing intelligence of the aflual Com- mencement of hostilities on the part of the United States.

In the same place was ! found a large finger ring of . pure gold. There was no inscription or characters of any kind upon it, a circimferance'to be lamented, as it might throw a clearer light on this interesting subjeft. Our Correspondent saw one of the teeth, which was as long as an ordinary fore finger!— Freeman's Journal. A very singular spectacle has been witnessed at Paris. In digging. for the foundation of anew building, the cemetery of the innocents was dis- turbed, and near 800,000 skulls drawn from thence, and piled in rows until they can be re- interred in a more convenient spot. Last week, as two poor men at Lower Columb, were digging in a pit for earth to mix with ma nure, they found a bar of metal, resembling a hand- saw- file, with three sides. On examinaiinn, it proved to he gold. They brought it to Truro, and sold it for about j£ 40. The bar must have lain where it was found, for a considerable time ; perhaps for centuries. A master of languages, named Dandon, died lately- at Berlin, literally from denying himself the necessaries of life. It appears that he gave instructions " to his pupils during the day, and solicited alms at night. Under the floor of his apartment were found concealed 20,000 crowns in specie. He had no other heir than his brother, whom , he,. had refused to see for 37 years, because he had sent a letter to him without paying'" tTie postage.

Lusus NATURE;— There is now in the posses- sion tof Mr. Finch, hair- dresser, of St. Matthew's, in Ipswich,' a - white skylark. The eyes of this singular bird are in colour similar to those of a white rabbit; and indeed it is worthy of observa- tion, that this peculiarity in the colour of the eyes is found in all white animals, wherever they form a variety from the general order of their species. One of the common colour was found in the same nest. We have much pleasure in announcing, that a Charity Sermon will be preached in the Meeting- house of Comber, on Sunday next, the 2d of August, at one o'clock, for the relief of the Poor of that Parish, by. the Rev. Mr. M'EWEN, of Dublin: on which occasion, we trust that the chaste and nervous eloquence of this persuasive advocate of the poor will be crowned with suc- cess, proportioned to the abilities of the preacher, and the exigencies of the ti'mes. The Committee for managing . the fund for the re- lief of the . poor of the Parish of Antrim, beg leave to return their most grateful thanks to the Rev. James Dunn, for his eloquent and impressive Se raon, on the 26th inst. which, by adding. Fifty Pounds'to the former collection, will enable them to contribute with effect - that assistance to. the indigent, which has al- ready been productive of such good consequences. .

STRABANE— JULY 28. DRKAD'FUL AFFRAY.— We feel exceedingly sorry in being- obliged to notice, that a spirit of discord and patty dissension has lately prevailed in some- parts of this county, particularly about Killeter and Det'g- bridge, the fatal effects of which were on- Tuesday last ( being the fair day of Kiileter) unhappily exem- plified. On the morning of that day, the LongfifLi corps of cavalry and infantry, commanded by Captain Wilkinson, went to the fair, in consequence, it is said, of a repoit'that a Jarge body of countrymen in- tended tQ collect tliere for the purpose of rioting.— In the course of the day, a dispute arose about the payment of customs, and some of the cavalry, ( who were stationed at the opposite end of the town) were dispatched to quell the riot. In their progress to the scene of action, much confusion ensued in the crowd- ed streets, and several people w. ere thrown down ; • and it being reported that a poor old woman had been- killed by the carelessness of the yeomen, the crowd began to follow the c vshy and throrv stones at them. They retreated to" the high part cjf'the sneer,- and sounded the bugle for die infantry to join them, who were also assailed in - the same mariner by the popu- lace, and some of them severely hurt; this conduct so exasperated . the yeomanry,, that they fired among the crowd, when. unfortunately four people were killed ' on the spot, and twelve severely wounded.'

FRIDAY, Jtrr. v 24. T. R- RYAN, of SCARTEEV, Esq. had In PaRIS, JULY 13. FOURTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY/ " WILNA, JUNE 30 On the 27th the Emperor arrived at the advanced posts, and put the army in motion for the purpose of approaching Wilna, and at- tacking the Russian army, should it wish to defend Wilna, or retard its capture, in order to save its im- mense magazines. One Russian division occupied Troki, and another was on the heights of Tiakn.— At day- break of 28th, the King of Naples put him- self in motion with the advanced guard and the light cavalry. Marshal Prince of Eckinuhl supported him. The Russians every where retired. After exchang- ing some cannon" shot, they crossed the Vilia in haste, burned the wooden bridge of Wilna, and set fire to immense magazines, valued at many millions of rubles; more than 150,000 quintals of flour, an immense sup- ply of forage and oats, and a great mass of articles of clothing, were burned. A great quantity of arms, in which Russia is in general deficient, and of warlike stores, was thrown into the Vilia. At mid- day the Emperor entered Wilna. At three o'clock the bridge over the Vilia was re established. The carpenters of the city repaired to it with zeal, and constructed a bridge, while the pontoneers constructed another.— The division of Bruyeres followed the enemy by the left bank. In a slight affair with their rear, about 80 carriages were taken from the Russians. There were some men killed and wounded. The Polish li. jht horse made a charge on the right bank of the Vilia, and made prisoners a good number of Cossacks.— On 25th, the Duke of R.- ggio hid crossod the Vilia, - .. i. wii u* ci iirar VLowno. On sotti ne marked upon Javou, and on 27th on Chatoui. This movement obliged the Prince of Vittgenstein, Com- mandant of the first corps of the Russian army, to evacuate all Samogitia, and the country lying between Kowno and the sea, and to retire upon Wilkomii*, after obtaining a reinforcement of two regiments of guards. On 28th the l) ukr of Reggio found the enemy drawn up opposite Develtove. A cannon- ading commenced ; the enemy was driven from one position to another: and passed the bridge with so much precipitation, that he could not set fire to it He lost 300 prisoners, among whom are several offi- cers, and about 100 killed or wounded. Our loss amounts to about 50 men. The enemy set fire to Kit grand magazine at Wilkomir. Up to the last mo- ment the inhabitants were pillaging some barrels of flour : we succeeded in recovering a part of it. On 29th the Duke of Elchifigen threw a bridge over the Vilia opposite Souderva. Some columns received a di- rection of march by the roads of Grodr. o and - Vol- lrynia, for the purpose of coming up with various Rus- sian corps rhat were cut off and scattered. Wilna is a city containing from 25 to 30,000 souls, with a num- ber of convents, fine public buildups, and inhabitants full of patriotism. Four or 500 men of the Univer- sity, about 18, and belonging to the best families, have requested to form a regiment. " The enemy is retiring upon the Dwina. A great number of officers of the staff and estnfettes are daily falling into our hands. We are obtaining proofs of the exaggeration of nil that Russia has published with regard to the immensity of her means. Only two battalions of each regiment are with the army: the third battalion, the statements of the situation of many of which'have been found in the intercepted correspondence of the officers of the depots, with the • fegtments, do not amount for the most part to ] 20 or 200 men. The Court set off from Wilna, 24 hours after being apprised of our passage at Kowno. Sa- mogitia, Lithuania, are almost entirely liberated.— The centralization of Bagrathion towards the north, lias weakened the troops which were to defend Vol- hynia. The King of Westphalia, with the corps of Prince Poniatowsky, and the 7th and 8th corps, must have entered Grodno on the 29th. Different columns have set out to fall upon the flanks of the corps of Bagrathion, which, on 20th, received orders to pro ceed by forced marches from Projanoni towards Wil- and the head of which had already arrived with- COrpa< — ,. c- i three divisions of infantry, and two divisions of caval- ry, was on. the 30th at Wolkowisk. Pnnce 15agra- tion commanded this corps. in four days march of the latter city ; but events have forced it to retreat, and it is now pursued. Hitherto the campaign has not been sanguinary; there have been only manoeuvre^; we have made in all 1000 pri- soners. But the enemy has already lost the capital and the greater part of the Polish provinces, which j are in a state or insurgency. All the magazines of j the first, second, and third lines, the result of two i years care, and valued at 20 millions of rubles, are ! consumed by the flames, or fallen into our power.— ! In fine, the head quarters of the French army are in the place where the Court was for six weeks. " Amidst the great Hurnber of intercepted letters, ' the following are remarkable : the one from the In- tendant of the Rusian army, who communicates that Rus5: i having already lost all her magazines of the 1st, the 2d, and 3d lines, is reduced to the situation nfforming new ones in all haste; the other from Duke Alexander of Wirtemberg, which shews, that idrev a car.- paign of a few days, the provinces of the centr e are already declared in a state of war.— In the present situation ot things, had the Russian army be- - - , amounting to 40,000 men. Lastly, tWe 9th and 15th divisions of infantry, and a division of cavah v, commanded by Gen. Mar- k « w, was at the extremity of Volhinia. " The passage of the Vilia, which took place on 25th Jun", and the movement of the Duke of Reggio upon Janow, and towards Chatoni, obliged the coips of Witgenstein to proceed towards Wilkomir and on its left; and the corps of Bagawont to make for Dunahourg by Mouchnicki and Gedroitse. These two corps were thus cut off from Wilna. The third and fourth corps, and Russian Imperial Guards, re- tired from Wilna upon Nemenfschin, Swentzianoui, and Vidzoni. The King of Naples pressed them vi- gorously along both banks sf the Vilii. The tenth Polish hussars, which were at the head of the column of the division of Count Sebastiani, came up near Le- bowo, with a regiment of Cossacks who covered the near- guard, and charged at full gallop, kilL- d nine, and made about a doz;- n prisoners. The Polish troops, which up to this moment have engaged in a charge, have shown rare resolution. They are animated by enthusiasm and passion. " On 3d July the King of Naples marched upon Swentziani, and there overtook Baron Tolly's rear- guard. He gave orders to Gen. Montbrun to charge, but the Russians did not wait the attack, and retired with such precipitation, that a squadron of Huhl. ms, which was returning from a reconnoisance on the side of Mihailetki, fell in with our posts. It was charged by the 12rh chasseurs, and the whole either taken or - t. il I.. Si. Y >, IW W. T. , C. U « » . •— il'u tUair tlOl'CUA. The Poles, who are amongst these prisoners, have applied to serve, and have been taken, full mounted, in the Polish troops. On 4th, at day- break, the King of Naples entered Swentziani, the Duke of Elchinjen entered Mdiitani, and Duke of Reggio, Avanta On 30th June, the Duke of Tarentum arrived at Ros- siena : he proceeded to Poneviejo, Chawli, and Tesch. " The immense magazines which the Russians had in Samogitia have been burned by themselves, which has occasioned an enormous loss, not only to their finances, but still more to the subsistence of people. The corps of Doctorow, however, was still on 27ih June witlvout any Orders, and had made no movement. On 28th it put itself in motion, in order to proceed to the Dwina by marching on its flank. On 30th its advanced guaid entered Soleiniski. It was charged by the light cavalry of Gen. Baron Borde Soult, and driven out of the village. Doctorow, perceiving he was anticipated, turned to the right, and made for Ochmian. a. Gen. Baron Pajol arrived with his light cavalry at the moment when Doctorow's advanced vanguard entered it. Gen. Pajol charged. The ene- my was sabred and overthrown in the town ; he lost 60 men killed and IS prisoners. Gen. l'jjol had live men killed and some wounded. This charge was made by the 9th Polish lancers. Gen, Doctorow, seeing his rout intercepted, feli back upon Olchanoni. Flie Prince of Eckmuhl moved upon Ochmiana, to support Gen. Pajol. The corps of Doctorow, thus cut off and driven towards the South, continued to prosecute the movement on the ri ght by forced marches with the sacrifice of its baggage. Upon Smoroghopi, Danowchoff, and Robonrlucki, whence he made fur the Dwina. This movement had been foreseen.— Gen. Nansouty advanced to Mikailitchki, with a view to cut off this corps. He arrived on 3d at Swin, at the time when it passed tbat place, and pushed it brisk ly. He took a number of waggons, and obliged the enemy to abandon some hundreds of baggage carts The uncertainty, the anxiety, the marches and coun- ter- marches which these troops had endured, and the fatigues which they had undergone, must have made them suffer severely. " Tor cnts of rain fell during thirty- six hours, without in'i. ermis'ion. The weather has suddenly changed from ex. t ' neat to severe cold. Several thousand of hoi st ce perished by the effects of this sudden transition. Conveys of artillery have been stopped by the mud. This terrible storm, which lies fatigued both men and beasts, has unavoidably retarded our march ; and the corps of Doctorow, which suc- cessively fell in with the coh rmis of General Borde Soult, of Gen. Pajo!, and Gen. Nansouty, has nar- row'y escaped deati action. Prince Bagration, with the 5th corps stationed more in the rear, marches to- wards the Dwina. He set out on 80th June from Wolkowitsk to Minsk. The King of Westphalia entered Grodno the same day. Th » division Dom- browski passed it first. The Hetman Platow was still at Grodno with his Cossscks. When charged by the light cavalry of Prince Pouiatowski the Cos- sacks were dispersed in every direction. Twenty were killed and 60 made prisoners. At Grodno were found materials for 100,000 rations of bread and some remains of magazines. " It had been foreseen, that Bagration would have fallen back on the Dwina, by drawing as near as pps- sible to Dunabourg ; and Gen. Count Grouchy had bee » sent to Bogdanow. He was on the Sd at Trab- mi. The Prince of Echmuhl, reinforced by two di- visions, was on the 4tli st Wichuew. If Prince jjj Tliis day a numerous and most respectable meet, ing of the Catholics of this County and City met. pursuantly to public Requisition, at the Commer- cial Buildings. About one o'clock, the House and avenues were so crowded, that it was deem- ed expedient, for the sake of better accommoda- tion, to adjourn to St. Michael's Chapel.— About 2 o'clock, T. R. Ryan, of Scart een, Esq. was call, ed to the Chair, by unanimous acclamation, wh » n Mr. William Roche rose to move the Resolu- tions, prefacing his motion with the following patriotic Address — " In presenting to you the Resolutions T now hold, I feel pleasure in reflecting, that though some clouds mav still shadow our political pros- pects, it is, nevertheless, gratifying to compare the auspicious circumstances under which we this day meet, with these untoward ones which, con- vened us not six months ago— we had then to de- fend the pirity of our motives and proceedings against unkind and unmerted accusation :— We now find cur motives justified, our cause cherish- ed, and our hopes cheered, by tire contemplation, that the next, probably the first, Session of a new Parliament, will have the wisdom, virtue, and honour, of wiping away those unnatural distinc- tions— those enervating disabilities, which thus compel us to meet as a separate class of society. But it s far from being my intention to recur to past imidious circumstances; on the contrary, I would rather say, ' Let us, in the characteristic generosity of our land, aided by the true spirit of every branch of the Christian Religion, remove from our view all that can irritate, and cheri , h eve- y thing that can conciliate.' To this spirit of conciliation, I am confident, the heart of every Catholic that hears rae, nay, of every Catholic in the land, beats responsive. Let the obligations we owe those valuable and enlightened charac- ters, who, in every vicissitude of its fortunes ad- vocated our cause, plead for the errors of our enemies.— Amoig those amiable and enlightened supporters of general Religious Freedom, it is with peculiar pride and satisfaction, we discern the distinguishtd name, the expanded mind, and eloquent exertions of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex— the Son of our revered but af- flicted Sovereign— a Sovereign, equally venerable for his virtues and his years, even whose impres- sions on this interesting question, however painful t'neir consequences to us,, yet command our re- spect, as flowing Irom no unkind cause— the Bro- ther also of the Priic°, who now hold the reigns of Government, and whose heart, recent circum. stances prove has rot lost its attachment to Ire- land, nor relinquished its wanted liberality and benevolence. " I shall onlj take permission to mike a few remarks on what seems to be the sole alleged ob- jefiion or obstacle to a liberal concession of our claims— I mean the demand of, and consequently the supposed necessity for security. Is it consistent with any rule cf reason— is it not hostile tfi every impulse of the human breast to infer, that danger is likely to arise, as discontent and di- satisfaflion are removed ? Can the warmth of our affeflion to the Constitution be supposed to decline, in pro- portion as our stake and interest in it are enlarged, and the quantum of our happiness increased ?— Why have our claims attained their present strength and maturity, but because they are felt to be founded on justice, on reason, and sound policy— because they are believed to be, not only compa- tible with, but contributary towards the general weal. But were I to allow, for a moment, that any individual, whether of ours or the other Sedls, could be so base and stupid, as to aim at any thing injurious to the established order and prin- ciples of the State, or to do any afl unbecoming good subjetfs— will not the same laws and Con- stitution, the same loyalty and energy of the land, be competent to punish delinquency and meet emergency then, as well as now ? Yes, and much more so, I trust, for tens of thousands will be ad- ditionally interested in defence, for the one inimi- cally disposed. " Let me inquire— what are the dangers that hnve accrued from concessions already made, from favours already granted ? Look to your smiling fields, pouring forth their exuberance to maintain the commercial dignity, the manufadhiring opu. lence of our Sister Kingdom, and they will answer you. See our increasing population, swelling the valiant ranks of our armies and our navy ( and by the way let me ask has that army and navy fought the less well since Catholics have been admitted to command), and they will answer you. View our flourishing cities, our improving towns, vil- lages, and hamlets, and what is even more per- suasive and consolatory, look to the progressive growth of social harmony exhibiting its happy consequences in the union and co- operation of all Sefts as on: Body, for the support and furtherance of benevolence and charity, for the promotion of all those salutary effeffs which unprejudiced edu- cation and extended civilization are calculated to produce. Such are the dangers which have ac. crued, such are the dangers, but I may now call them by their real name, such are the blessings that will flow in a perennial stream ( from a per- fedl union of interest), to nourish and invigorate the happiness and prosperity of the land. essav^ J to eff ft a reconciliation, in what (| |[ tone, teiin?', and spirit would S'tch discr- e* and kind fi'nds he desirous of accomplishing it? — Would it n > t be in the sp'rit of mutual cou- te. outness, candour, an 1 confidence ; because from such dispositions and from such sources alone can the full b » nefi ti- m be e* p - fted ? " Before I sit down if is hut discharging! a f : f d ht to remark, that T have been frequently de, pu'ed to request C il. O'Ddl, our Senior County Representative, to take charge of, . present, and support our Petitions to Parliament ; and that in- evw y instance I etoerienced- tbe- Utmost.. courtesy and alacrity. Of his suponrt of the- cause- in feed I say nothing— it is on public record, and has been invariable. But it would be ungrateful in the extreme to omit an opportunity of expressing the obligations we equally owe to h; s valuable associate, the Hon. Windham Ouinn."— hear.-] _ ~ ' / Mr. Roche then read the following Res. alu ions, i which passed on ; nimotisly :— Resolved. That the Petition to the Legisla'nre. for a total i repeal of all Statues, whioh rest- rain and limit thn exercise. | of Religious Worship, as agreed tt> by the last Aggregate Meeting, held in Dublin, and on the 2dJuly'nst. meets our j fullest anprobition, and that we hereby adopt it. - . ! Resolved, Thar we hereby repeat the expression of our ; j unshaken confidence, in those leading and distinguished No-- blemeh and Gentlemen, composing the General Board of the; jj Catholics or Ireland, who. amidst the storms and dangers of an angty and mistaken policy, have,' with dauntless spirit, promoted the progress of our Clause, and have discharged their great trust with honor, zeal, and ability. Resolved, That however injurious the policy w^ ich la- boured to sever the Prince from the People, the recent de- clarations in Parliament revive our Ung cherished hones, that that I'lustrious Personage will. adhere to those principles, which, bv establishing the harmony and happiness of the sub- jedt, would best ensure the stability of the Throne, and the prosperity of the Empire. Resolved, That at a rim" when Continental Furop ® is yielding her last S'trh, and all the rivulets of rational liberty are nearly lost in the fln" d of Universal Dominion-— and when these Countries, the last refuge of European Freedom, are threatened with no less than total annihilation— we consider the continuance of political disabilities, as leading to paral ze- the energies of the State, and ro further the views of our im- placable enemy; it would, therefore, be a criminal apathy in us, at this perilous crisis, to cease our earnest application to the Legislature, to embrace within the pretension of e^ ual Laws, ill and everv description of his Maj; sty's Subjeits. Resolved,, That having with regret observed a design to mar the progress of our just claims, by propositions intended solely to raise alarms against us, we are called upon to de- clare to the Empire, and to the World, That ive tvitl enter into no compromise for our rivhts, incompatible roith the integrity of our Religion— that the besr security we can give is, our ar- dent attachment to the Constitution, which we are solemnly and irrevocably sworn ro defend— our proved aud invariable fidelity to the Law*, gua- anteed by our properties, our lives, and the very principle of the Religion we profess. Resolved, That for the approaching Parliamentary discas- s'on of our Claims, we are indebted to the liberal and enlight- ened Prot- stants of the Empire, in whose zeal and energy, we have the best security against any invidious attempts to es- trange from our interests; and satisfied, as they are, of the purity of our views, we confide in their animated and con- tinued exertions for the final acomplishmerit of our Emanci pation. The two succeeding Resolutions movid by Henry Lyons, Esq. and seconded by Terence O'Brien, Esq. were, by and with unanimous ac- clamations adopted : Resolved, That we hereby pledge Ourselves, to each other and owr Country, to withhold our support from any candi- date for « ur Representation, who will not publicly and une- quivvca'li avow his determination to discountenance any Ad- ministration, formed on principles hostile ro Religious Liber < tv, And tor that purpose we earnestly recommend it to the Catholics of this City and County, to register their Free- holds as speedily as posside. Resolved, That our warmest gratitude and best thanks are eminently due, and hereby given to the INDEPENDENT PRESS of the Empire, for its able, unremitting, and invalua- ble services in our cause. This great Organ of Public Right re- echoes our voice throughout those realms; with its discus- sions our success has invariably advanced— it brings Reason and Justice into powerful contact with Prejudice and Error- it clings to our fortunes— it shares in our dangers— and par- ticipates in our sufferings. Resolved, That to the Author of the Statement of the Penal Laws, for his able, honest and feeling Digest of our Grievances, we t ffer, with the sincerity of Irishmen, the effu- sions of our most grateful hearts. Resolved, That our sincere and unfeigned Thanks be hereby given to his Royal Highness the Duke of Su. sex, for his eloquent, learned, and distinguished advocacy of our Claims; and that his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent is also entitled to our warm acknowledgments, for his liberal support. Resolved, That the early and continued exertions of the Earl of Donoughmore, and the Right Hon. Henry Grattan, in favour of the Catholics of Ireland, entitle those revered Personages to the everlasting gratitude of their Country. Resolved, That we hereby return our most grateful Thanks to the liberal Protestant Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Empire, who have with unremitting zeal supported our Claims in and out of Parliament. Resolved, That our warm acknowledgments are hereby given to the Right Hon. the. Knight of Kerry, to Brudenel Plumer, Esq. and the other Protestant Gentlemen, who have honoured our Meeting with their attendance. Resolved, That our sincere Thanks are returned to Daniel O'Connell, F. q Barrister at Law, for his luminous and pa- triotic speech, this day, as well as for his manly and distin- guished exertions at all times in the Cause of his Country. Resolved, Thar the Gentlemen, named at the last Aggre- gate Meeting, with such other Gentlemen as they may deem expedient to be added, do form a Board, ro prepare our Pe- titions, to have the same signed, and to forward our Cause in every other respect. Mr. Ryan having left the Chair, and Michael Arthur, Esq. having been called thereto, Resolved, That the Thanks of this Meeting be returned to T. R. Ryan, Esq. for his very proper, spirited, and dig- nified condu& in the Chair. Mr. Roche's Motion was seconded by Mr. A. F. O'Neill, who. thus briefly and energetically ad- dressed the Meeting: " Mr. Chairman— S: r, I rise to second the Re solutions that have jus: now been read— they speak the mild and animated feelings of the Roman Catholics of the County and City of Limerick-— they state our disappointments, our expeftati > ns, and our hopes. It does not befit me to dwell on the Resolutions, further than to say, they speak volumes on Catholic grievances— we have the ta- lents, the property, and independent men of the Empire with us. Mr. Chairman, I am a plain man, of commerce, unacquainted with public speaking— but I cannot conclude without nuking one remark— the Newspaper Reporters have stat- ed, that the Right Hon. Representative for this City asserted in the Commons House of England, that the commercial interests of Limerick was not favourable to Catholic Claims. 1 ask, who com- pose that respectable body ? Is not its great ma- jority of the Quaker and Catholic persuasion? And have not some of the most respeftable of our Protestant fellow- subje£ ls, and others differing from us in religious opinions, signed our Petition Member, and of our, or rather of hit very worthy Corporation!! Gen'lemen, register your Free- holds, and vote for those who will not m/ V- repre* sen' you."—\_ Loudand continued afipjunsr,'] The Resolu'ions. passed unanimously. | i Counsellor O'Conoell then rose and addressed li the Meeting, ir( a neat and aoprooriate Fpeecli. ; which, we are sorry, owing to the great prsss of " m. ajter, to postpone for the present.
