taut r eport, which we trust will be confirmed, namely, the compleat defeat of General DEARBORN, who had entered Canada with an army of between six and ten thousand men. This cheering report is stated on the autho►ity of a person who arrived at Annapolis, on the 7'h ult. from Eat Port. We are impatient for the arrival of the next accounts. Ge neral lIARRISON'S army, too, is mentioned in an article from Boston, to be very perilously situated. A correspondence is spoken of as about to be opened with Sir JOHN V' A RRLN. We do not, however, hope for any happy result from it, as the Amer inns still insi , t that we shall withhold our right of impressing the subjects of Great Britain. No intelligence wha!evcr had arrive 4 from Russia at a late hour last night. The ice has probably been the only cause of this delay in the receipt of fresh glorioUs intelligence. 10 consequence of the dispatches from Cadiz, on Thursday, Viscount CAsTLEREAGII tiiniw , ned a Cabinet Council to take the opinion of the whole Cabinet on them. The Coun cil met on Friday, at one o'clock, at the Foreign Office, which sat till near four o'clock. At the breaking up of the Council, Viscount C AST LER EAGH waited upon the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. According to the accounts delivered into the War-Office, at St. Fetersburgh, from the correct &tans of the native Commanders, the Russians have captured from the French, in the present campaign, 1 28,000 men, soo Officers, of whom 25 arc Generals, and 600 pieces of &ninon. The boats of the Bulwark man of war, under• Lieutenants MOFFAT and DAWLS, have gallantly cut out a vessel at an chor, dose in with the French squads on at Rochefort, in defiance of the whole of the boats of the French men of war, who ineffectually opposed them with a spirited tire of great guns and rnusquetry. A fine armed American brig, of 10 guns and 40 men, called the Expectation, from New York to Bourdeaux, with a cargo worth 20,:i001. has been captured, after a long chase, by the Briton, 36, and carried into Plymouth. The Admiralty, it is said, have ordered six 74 gun-ships to be cut down, in order that they may be more nearly on a level with the Americans—and they have also ordered two frigates to be built on their plan. The gallant Spanish leader LONGA has obtained addi tional successes over the enemy, as appears from a commu nication made by him to his superior Officer, General MEN DIZADEL. LONGA is attached to the Seventh Spanish army, and was eEtrusted by the - .General with the protection of a district, including the towns of Senado and its neigh bourhood. The French, who had marched from Bureos, entered the town, where they levied contributions, and were otherwise guilty of their accustomed excesses. The enemy's columns consisted of near 4,000 men, and had seized 60 of the most respectable inhabitants as hostages for the payment of the remaining contributions, which they thought fit to exact. LONGA attacked them, and after a smart encounter, forced them to abandon the town, and pursued them two leagues. The enemy had 700 killed and 490 taken pri soners. lie took besile.s two pieces of cannon, and all their baggage and plunder.—The hostages were fortunately re leased, and Sedano and its neighbourhood relieved from French *exactions. Since the arrival of the Russian fleet at Chatham, the crews of several of the ships have been affected with a con tagious distemper, of which some have died. Change of diet, and want of cleanliness, have been assigned as the causes of this disorder; the violence of which, however, is now subsided, thrcugh the mode prescribed by the medical practitioners who were sent from town. The Marquis of WELLINGTON has been appointed Go vernor of Gravesend and Tilbury, in the room of the late Lieut.-General Sir T. MUSGRAVE, and Sir G. PaEvosT is to have the command of Sir 'I'HOM AS'S regiment, the 76th.

Twenty-tiv..: Petitions were presented ; one rejectel ROUSSEAU'S SEALED LETTERS.—It is generally known to the literati of Europe, that ROUSSEAU, previously to his death, entrusted to the late Count D'ANT RA IGu Es some sealed MSS. which were to be published at a specified pe riod. Sonic few years ago the Count was at Berlin at which time, Prussian, as well as German journalists, called upon him to announce to " anximr-ly expecting Europe, ,. whether the period had arrived when the seals might be rent asunder. The Count replied, that the period for publication had not come. The querists became silent, and that silence has never since been broken. The Count shortly aftci cards left the Continent for ever, continuing in England till the assassin put an end to his life a short time ago at Barnes.— After the assassination, Gov ernment is said to have put its seal on the Count's papers; and it is also understood, that such seal continued effective no longer than till the art ival of the Count's son from Yorkshire. The literary world will natu rally be curious to know, what has become of these manu scripts, and what the real motives of RousszAu were for en., joining so long a ~- ,c crecy with respect to their contents. 26 THE NATIONAL ni:GisTEn., TIN. 10
