LONDON, MARCH 8. AT length we have another Gotteiiburgh Mail, (the 5th that was due.) It has brought us a Journal of the proceedings of the Russian Army, from the 20lh to the 30th January, ten days later than the last arrival on the 27th tilt. But the most important fact brought by the Mail is thcilltenigence of Denmark having withdrawn all letters of marque issued against us, a proof of the departing, if not the de- parted influence of France over her councils. The Emperor Alexander is slated to have in his interview with the Crown Prince of Swe- den offered to guarantee Norway to Sweden- an fyffer which so alarmed the Danish Govern- ment, that it is said to have expressed a readi- ness to break with France if this guarantee were withdrawn. From the Russian armies under Platow, Tchichagoff, and Aliloradovitz, the Mail brings the following iiiforinatioti-Platow had, by b the last accounts, (Jan. 24) his head-quarters near Danlzic, having drawn a cordon of light troops round that city, and sent on his forag- el ing parties to the Oder. Tchichagoff's army, which was marching on Liebau, was ordered to approach Thorn, to observe that fortress, and cover the ma- gazines at Bromberg. General Woronzow, who took Bromberg, found large magazines there. On the 26th of January the Emperor's head- quarters were at Willenberg, on the other side of the Vistula. Miloradovitz, our readers will recollect, moved from Grodno in a line parallel to that of the Emperor on his left. It is this army that is destined to act against the y 11 Austrians, taking the direction of Warsaw. The Austrians retire at. all points as the Russi- ans advance. On the 10th January they sur- rendered N ovogrodek and another town with- out resistance. They then retired from Ostro lenka on Pnltusk and on the 26th January, Gen. Miloradowilch entered Prastniz, where he was joyfully received. Warsaw is said to be equally desirous of the approach of the Rus- sians. Goltenburgh, February 20.—An Austrian courier from Vienna in 15 days is just arrived aud proceeds to England by the first packet. By a Gentleman who arrived this morning from Copenhagen, weare informed that many letters had been received in that city previous to his departure from Germanv, stating that Warsaw had capitulated to the Russians. The Danish Government have called in all letters of marque for privateering, and it is said the brigs arc to be dismasted in Norway.* The few French privateers in Danish ports are to proceed out, but not to return again, nor bring in any prizes to Danish ports. A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning with accounts lo the 23d ult. They bring no news of importance. It is still believed that the French are withdrawing their best troops from Spain.

Lately, John Stiff, the Norton Carrier to Bury, in the 106th year of his age, who has left behind him children, grand-children, and great grand- children, to the number of 257. He had by his first wife 22, and by his second wifa 11 children; and was able to attend Bury market till the lat- ter end of the last year.

The Medical Men, in London, and we be- lieve, throughout the country, are apptying to Parliament for leave to bring in a Bill for regulating the practice of Apothecaries, Sur- geon*, &e. On Friday last, was launched from the yard of Mr. Samuel Samuel, Ship-builder, in Car- narvon, a most beautiful Cutter, called the Wellington, of about forty tons burthen.— She went off the slocks in a very superior sty Ie, amidst the acclamations of an immense con- course of spectators, who had assembled to witness the launch of as fine a moulded v-ssel, as we believe, ever sailed from this or any other port. To prevent Milk and Butter from tasting of Turnips. -,ro one ounce of saltpetre pour one pint of boiling water one large tea-spoonful of this mixture put to every gallon of milk while yet warm from the cow this purifies the milk, and of course the butter. On the 25th ult. was slaughtered by Mr. William Hassall, of Bridgenorth, Salop, a beautiful heifer, four years old, fatted by Mr. Bamfield, of Ewduess, at very little expence. It weighed alive on the machine, 16241bs.; when dead, by the scale, 120311im. sinking the offal. The proportion of bone was astonish- ingly small. The sire of this animal was a Devon; her dam was half Shropshire and half French. An awful circumstance took place at Mil- borne Port, on the evening of Saturdav se'n- night a poor woman in the work-house, being charged concerning some trivial article- that was missing, wished God might strike her dumb, blind, and dead, if she knew any thing of it. About six o'clock she eat her supper as well as usual, soon after her speech faulter- ed, her eyes closed, and before seven she was a breathless corpse, without any apparent cause On Friday se'nnight or Saturday morning a weaver in Hamilton rose from his bed, and after stabbing his wife in various parts of the body, cut her throat. He then proceeded to the place where his potatoes were kept, and put an end to his existence, by severing almost completely his heMI from his body. There is no doubt that the unhappy man was in- sane. THE KiNG.-Tiic interest taken in the state of his Majesty's health is as sincere, if not as strong, as at any time since the commence, ment of his malady. We are happy, there, fore, to announce to our readers that his Ma- jesty's situation is as favourable as under all the circumstances could be expecled. The following monthly Bulletin was yesterday shown at St. James's Palace Windsor Castle, March 6.—His Majesty since the last report, has been generally tranquil, but rather less so during the week.

On the ques- tion, for the petition being read, Lord Kenyon said, he had to regret that the Noble Earl was not present Oil the occasion of the meeting I which gave rise to the petition, as then lie; would think differently of it from what he did. That meeting of the county, of which nine or ten days notice had been given, was the fullest ever known. A Noble Earl (Gros- venor) not. wit (islanding his exertions t o collect a number of friends to support his own pecu- 'I liar opinions on the subject, could only get one individual, and wilh wholll two oilier* sided. Since the period of that meeting, lie was informed from persons on whose authori- ty be could confide, that the agents of that Noble Lord had gone about among those who were absolutely dependent upon him, in order to gain their support to the petition in ques- tion and two in particular, tenants of the Noble Lord, were threatened with severe con- sequences if they witheld their sanction to it. The Earl of Essex ill explanation, said he was informed lhalthc pditlOlI wasigned hy some, of the most respectable persons in thai coullty. Lord Kenyon shortly explained,and observed, he had distinct information on tile Subject to which he alluded. The petition was then read and ordered to lie on the table.

BUNDLING! MR. EDITOR-With a view to counteract, and as far as possible to suppress the odious and in- decent practice of Bundling, (thv only remaining badge of Barbarism amongst us), we earnestly re- commend to every father of a family, every mas- ter of an establishment, to associate for that pur- poe-for Illlti1 a custom, so abhorrent from reft- soji and shame, is put down—very little efficae), can be hoped, either from the extention of edu- cation, or from the circulation of the Scriptures. The following Resolutions would perhaps as- sist the object:— I. That associations similar to, or connected with, those for the Prosecution of Felons, be formed, for the purpose of suppressing the odious and (in the eye of the world) felonious offence of Bundling. 2. That the expences be equally borne by all the members, in detecting and prosecuting any persons obtruding themselves at unlawful hours. 3. That any servant detected in receiving such Bundlers iu the houses of any member, shall be immediately dismissed, and on no account receiv- ed again into service. 4. That rewards be offered on the discovery of any persons guilty of this offence, and a further reward on their conviction before a Magistrate. 5. That the members pledge themselves to be provided with arms, and such other means ofde- fence as the law places in their power, in order mere effectually to secure the objects of the So ciety. ;:f!.
