RETitr.Ar ritom Mweow.—Ceneral Baron d'Ochs, wto in the campaign of f 81 . 2, commanded the corps of the Westphalian army, has published a work which contains important information on the disastrous expe dition to Moscow. The General shows, that it was net so much the cold as want of provisions which occa sioned the destruction of the French army, and that of the. artier. This want of provisions was the result of ne..v rietLud -if marching without magazines—a me ths:', which makes requisitions necessary, and entails desti!naiou on all the places bordering on the line of march. This system of pillage leaves an army without ref;•arecs, %Olen by a combination of circumstances it is ecnTelled to retreat by the same route on which it ad vanced. General d'Ocbs states a fact which proves how itas:nsible the army was to every other want but that of food. On the nagged banks of the Niemen they were obliged to abandon the military Chest, which contained a great number of bags of' 1,`,200 francs. The conduc tors threw these baps on the high road, crying out to the passengers, " take wormy if' you will." Some sol diers endeavoured to cony off' the lags, but finding tkem too heavy for thtir enfeebled arms, they threw them away, after having talon from them 10 or 12 five-franc plucs. The greatest part of these wretched men a f tersrar a t , t ra mpled - the money under their feet, " it is LrEad we want." 13 %HON Ell E N.—The Gazette of Saturday week seals the doom of this foreign upstart, by dismissing him from the British army. The mention of this man's name aml fiirtune recaps a most amiable and striking trait in the character of olir %Trot-able Sovereign, as displayed in his Majesty's conduct towards this impu dent impostor. Previous to his entering into the loth Hussar.:, numerous and urgentesolicitattons were made by no fewer than three of the Princes to their loyal Father, to introduce their new favourite into the Bri tish army through the medium of the German Legion, as most conformable with the etiquette due to a person calling himself a German Baron. His Majesty, who made a point of selectiog the Officers of the German Legion among those only whose characters world bear the strictest scrutiny, with a rigid adherence to his sense of honour and duty, unithrmly refused all countenance to Eben's promotion, His Majesty, upon inquiry, bad learnt, that although possessing rank in the French army, he had been taken prisoner in the disguise of a common hussar, under nest suspicious circumstances when he .pretended to be a deserter from the French out-posts. 1 t was also discovered, that he had alter nately served in the French, the English, and the Prus sian service, in Hanover : and in the two latter as a private Dragoon. It will grieve come of our country men to learn, that this accommodatin„• soi &rant Ba ron, this " thing of shreds and patches," carries out of this country at least 50,0001. of British gold. ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY ANT) Munnett.—On Thursday night, between 10 rind 11 o'clock, as Mr. Cuthbert, the turn pike-gate keeper at Wheagy, in Oxfordshire, W3ti returning home from Oxford, he was stopped nem the two milestone by two foot pads, .one-'of a hour seized the reins of his horse whilst the other laid hold of him by the left arm and de• mended his motrey-or his life. On Mr. Cuthbert making sonic 'resistance, the villain who had hold of him gave him A des perate stab in the left side with a dirk, and I second in the thigh : Air. Clobber, knocked him down with the butt end •of his whip, and, spurting his horse, rode over the other fellow w h o held his hridle.tbus effecting his escape. He now lies dangerously ill at 1% heathy. He had that day been re ceiviog a large stun of money at Oxford, wh:cli he had ;dealt him at the time, and it is suspected that the-villuins were nut unacquainted 's ish the eirennistanee. A Wise wiTit Two llesnssus.—At the Mansion Hons.. on Saturday, Jeremiah Amirews and Richard Baker appealed before the Lord Mayor, with a lady between Otto, to whom they both laid claim. Mr. Audeews said he had been abroad 'Omit five years, and on his retorts fistula Mrs. Andrews had dovilie his absence, become Ike wile of Mr. Maker. For the holy he had no partienlar regret, but he hoped his lord•hip would order immediate restitution of his goods and chattels. Mr. Baker declined saying any thing, except that the lady made a " pretty good will ;'' he would. however, abide by his Lorlship's decision iu all thing% Mix. ews, wise Baker, entered lipon her defence with infinite seif-com plat-miry. She rr called to his lordship some pecdliar circum stances relative to the travels of Mr. Andreas, by which it appeared they had extended as tar as Port Jackson. The Lord Mayor said he recollected this circumstance. He was she, at the lime, and he well remembered tarnishing her with the goods and chattels which Mr. Andrews now claimed iIe(AIOP lie pitied her forlorn condition. Mrs. Andrews here put m an epistle which she had received from her trensport 'A first lever, when at lkoolsvich, sae looked upon is formal discharge from her • conjugal functions. She had ac cordingly married Mr... Saker, at Shoreditch church, nearly two years ago. His lordship recommended Mr. Andrews to forez.o all claintamon the lady or the goods ; but he persist ed most stremiously,aud said dills lordship did not order them to give op the goods, he should charge her for bigamy. The whole party becoming clamorous, the Lord Mayor dismissed the complaint, and desired the marshalmen to see them out of the office. hers: tt. Mtsrtntm.--frhere is now nn appeal of taut.; der antler the consideration of the Coot of--King's Itt itch in Ireland as our readers w.II have obw•reed from the newspapers; but the defendant having, by the ads it of his counsel, claimed his wager of battel, the coo rt seem to have been under some difficulty how to act, and have ft oni time to time postponed the it judgment, and the case is now gone oft till next term. From the authorities in the law-books, it is quite clear that the party appealed has the privilege of battcl ; and it may not be a little curious to consider in what a dilemma a modern court ofjustice must be placed, if it were called 11110 D to give effect to this mode of adjudicating upon such as issue joined between the appellee and appellee. Tuesday week the remains of Mr. Curran were deposited in the vault of l'addingion church. In order to avoid the etmcourse which might result from attracting public notice to the internment of this cikhrated man, the ceremony waseenducted in the plainest manner. The hour was communicated oily to the mourners. Between 12 and I she proces-Aon moved from Upper Grosvenor•street, where the body had been deposited the night before. Three mourning coaches and three private carriages followed the hutr,,e. Mr. Curran, of the Irish Itat, Captain Curran, f' the Navy, and Mrs. Taylor. children of the tierVlVfi. were in the first coach. Mr. 'Thomas Moore, Mr. God* in, mat :Ir.

Saturday week, the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Lord Mayor elect, Sheriffs, Recorder, anti several Aldermen, in their private carriages, and without any parade, attended by the City Marshals and City Officers, proceeded from the Mansion-house to Guildhall, where they were met by the Court of Assistants of the I)raper s' Company, to which his Lordship elect below, wheu his Lordship was $%lOlll into olhce for the succeeding year. At half past one o'clock ou 'Monday. his Lorddrip, accom panied Iry flue late Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and Sheriffs, alighted from their private caniages at Westminster - hall, and entered the Court of Exchequer, to perfotm the usual so lemnities observed bef,ire the Chef Baron on the swearing in the new Lord Mayor into his iittive. The Recorder, in his address to the Com t, refiained from the iiseal dinner invita tion to the Jodzes, in int:.orliicinq tlin C:liief Magistrate to the Court, and confined himself to a detail of the piddle and private merits of the new Lord Mayor and his pi eileeessor. The Chief l Miss r veal, that after the late event, which had spread a melancholy gloom ovur Ilmse dominions, and pier( ed every heart in the kingdom, and particularly the ciii rens of London, with t herons, poignant woe. it would he ineon sistent with his feelings, and he hoped it was not required or expected from him to address tilt Lord 11layor at the length which was heretofore usual on such occasions ; he therefore contented himself in expressing his satistat•tion at the elec tion to fill that office of a man of great public ami private worth. His Lordship was also nartirolarly complimentary to the late TAO !I'a or, who now, he said, ien red, after dis charging his arduous dunes. during rod a %cry trammil pea trod, with the admiration of thm.e wla:se admiration was most to be rte%ired, and w ith the approbation of his nw n rolMeietice, winch was the highest object of tronoorahle de s ire.

The Irish papers contain the following address by Roger onnor to his cotton ytnen 1— " It is not my intention, at this time to say notch to pm on the subject of the trial of Waring for perjury, but merely to state, that ft mil utter ignorance of such matters, when I laid my information, it was in the idea that cognixance wa. to he taken of his oral evidence at Trim, the falsehood of which I conld have proved by a host of witnesses, in as many in stances as the several sentences in which it was delivered; and that I was not confined to the information sworn be fate the Magistrate in the city of Dublin, of which I knew nothing, and happened to contain but one charge that I could disprove by two witnesses, which, I hope, was disproved to your (uite satisfaction.
