LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 24. SECOND EDITION. Courier Office half-past two o'clock. WE understand that (uiveromeiil have re- ceived dispalclies fro MI Lord Cat heart and Sir Charles Stuart, daled Dresden, 7th iust. whicb came by the way of Gotlenbur^b and they contain accounts similar to those published iu the German Papers, as to the sujicri liSy ol the allies in the great bailie of the 2d, near Lulzen. The circumstance of the allies re- niaiuing masters of the field of bit! tie after the 1 engagement is completely confirmed It ap- I pears, however, that they subseque <tiy Idired | to the Elbe. The Emperor was at Dresden on I Ihe 7ih, and the heavy baggage had crossed the Elbe. It also appears that on the 2d. the allies uuder Bulow beat, the French severely at Halle, and that from the 2d to the7th there were merely affairs posts and rear giiard. Mails from Heligoland and.Golteubiirgh ar 1,.ils f, .11 1,04;illd rived 1-41) n'nr&t. The accounts from Berlin are of the ruh, and from Saxony of the 8th of course .not so late as the French accounts, ■which are of the 9ih. An article from Berlin of the lllh mentions a report, is just now spread, that a battle has taken place near Zwenkau, which terminated in favour of the allies and in consequence of which Count Wittgenstein is said to have received the Order b of St. Andrew." An Hamburgh article of the 14ih, stales tins fresh action to have taken place on the Sib, and adds, thai the French were repuls- j ed, and obliged to leave 24 pieces of cannon | behind them." We should be happy to be tibie to say that this account is correct but if the last French Papers give an accurate ac- count of the positions of the enemy, no battle could have been fought at Zwenkau on the 8th, for on that day the allies had retired across the Elbe. Bonaparte was at Dresden, and Lauriston at Meissen. There was no force cither French or allied at Zwenkau. Tile ac- tion rumoured at Berlin i-niiy have been one of those fought after the bailie of Lulzen; the action at Waidsheim on the 6lh, near Weis- (lot-foi) the 71,li, or t)ii the Stit before Beati harnois entered Dresden, or Launslon Meis- sen. The Monileur of the 15th, states thai, independcntly of the great bridge of Dres- den, which the enemy had restored, they had thrown three bridges over the Elbe. The Viceroy having caused some troops to march towards them, the enemy immediately set fire to them. The teles-de-point which covered them were carried. On the siiiie (iie sit), Lauriston arrived at Meissen- Hie there found three redoubts, with block houses constructed hythe PruQsians: they hadburuedthebndge." It. seemSj therefore, that iieauiiaruois and Lau- rislon had each on the 8th an action with the allies, but they were partial ones. The Saxon accounts of the Sih slate, that the headquar- ters of the King of Prussia were at Koiuugs- hi ■ugh, and Wittgenstein at Wil- gcnstcin was at Meissen, but he iêft it cady on the 8th, and crossed to the oilier side of the Elbe. The Crown Prince of Sweden, with the Duke of Sudennania, left Gottenburgh on the 5th, and arrived the sameday at Helsiuborg, iviiicii he quilled on the 6th for Landscrona, When shall we be able to announce his arrival in Germany? This is the day, according to an article front Hamburgh of tin; 14th, on which Austria is to declare against France in case fhe laller re- fuses to accede to the proposed conditions."

'Iheatricals Mr, Edwards's company of Comedians, after exhilarating the inhabil.ants of Carnarvon wllh all inlfdlecturd treat, open their career, on Friday evening at Beauma- ris—when the talents and exertions of individual in this company are considered, we feel flattered in the encouragement (hey expe- rienced at Carnarvon — truly wishing, they may receive the same just meed of their deserts at Beaumaris. R. Dallas, lale Chief Justice of Chester, was presented to the Prince Regent, at the Levee, on Thursday last, on his heing appointed So. iicilor-General; upon which occasion he re- ceived the honour of knighthood. On Saturday sennight, a number of the Re- presentatives in Parliament for Wales, dined at the Thatched House Tivei-ii, The dinner was served up in a style of great magnificence alld nJany patriolic toasts were drank with loud enthusiasm. Among the Company were—the Duke of Bedford, Sir W. W. Wynn, Viscount litillieley, Lord Bradford, Sir II. Williams, Sir Edward Lloyd, Lord 11. Seymour, Sir T. Mostyn, Vise. Kirkwall, Lord Boston, Sir J. Owen, Sir Mark Wood, Mr. C. W. Wynne, &c. The Birsth-day of Ihat highly respected Gentleman, Sir S. R. GJynne, Bart, was cele- brated at fitnvardect, on Wednesday se'nnight with the usual expressions of esteem.—Up- wards of sixty friends of thc worthy Barond sat down to a most excellent dinner at the Glyune Arms. Mr. Boydell of the Manor, in i the Chair.—The wines were of a superior quality-the glass and song went round to a fate hour, and the company departed to their respective homes, highly gratified with the cnteriainmenl of the evening. I)t.iblirt.Tlie Royal Anglesey light infantry regiment of militia, under the command of Captain Mitchell, marched into this city on Saturday last, from Downpatrick. They are lo embark for Liverpool in a few days. At a I. meeting of the Magistrates and Gentlemen of Downpatrick on the Stll IIlstant, an address was presented to Captain Mitchell, which con- cludes thus:—" During a period of upwards of. fifteen, months, which the regiment has been quartered here, we have witnessed the most gentlemanly conduct of the Officers, and the most orderly and soldierlike demeanour of the Non-commissioned Officers and Privates; and we have only to assure you (Captain Mit- chell) that the regiment carries with it our most sincere wisltes for ils prosperity and hap- piness." On Monday last, about one o'clock in the morning, the servants of the Hev. J. Lloyd, of Pa ley, were alarmed by a relfection of light from the kitchen window upon all ad- joining wall, and by a variety of noises below, instantly got up, and went down into the kitchen, where they found the window open, and the locks of some cupboards and drawers forced. Having shut the window they pro ceeded to examine the other partt of the house, and during their search, the thief, it is supposed, havillg slid into the pantry. upon hearing the servants coming, down stairs, took I the opportunity of escaping through the win- dow, which they again found open upon their return. Mr. Lloyd having alarmed the neigh- bourhood, mounted his horse, and scoured the counliy ten miles round, and at length secur- ed him in a .plantation belonging to B. Lloyd, iisu. of Croen. He was immediately brought before R. W. Price, Esq. of Rhiwlas, who., committed him lo Dolgeliey goal. Upon his person werc found, besides Ihe arlicles he had ,'i'oieiij a large butcher's knife, and a pocket :Îislol. He aid hi; name was Daniel Jones, and that he was a native of Llandidno, and that hit father, Ellis Jones, lived there. He bad a woman's calico shift on. The following proverbs of the Scottish Highlanders, in regard to the weather deserve to be recorded: — Better a plundering: foe to sweep the land, than a mild February." For every day of frost in spring, there will be a day of rain in harvest." A good week of sowing, makes a fortnight in harvest." Notif-R is given of a hill for the reliefof per- sons who abjure (a slrange word) the doclrme of the Triadv. Highly as we Think of, the I talents of our Legislators, we can 'scarcely cooceive a suhjed less tit for discussion; and perhaps one great difficulty will be, to prove the quantum of oppression which Gentlemen, who choose to turn Socinians, suffer under the | exiting laws, if they wilt be content to keep their'opinions to themselves. '1' nephew ofaBrilish Peer was executed oii tli,, 7111. He had involved him- self by gambling, and being delecled in the act of robbing the bouse of his Knglish friend, by a Portuguese servant, he shot the latter dead, to prevent disco very. A Her execution his head was severed from the body, and fixed on a pole opposite tlie house in which the murder and robbery were committed. After the gr si race, which will close on Saturday evening, a battle of a singula!'kind wiil take place. Molineux having observed he would tight any thing alive. On Wednes- day a match was made for him to fight a bull, on coudilix1 iiiat the animal should have his horns iimffl d; and ihe match cannot he off without forfeit. The Black will fight Carter oil hiuiu tor any stake. An act received the Royal Assent on Satur day last, to continue the term, and to continue, enlarge, and amend the powers of two acts Oi his present Majesty, for amending, widening, and keeping in repair the roads leading from Ludlovvfach, to the town of Llandovery, and from thence to the river Aiiiiiiaii. lit the coun- ty of Carmarthen, and several other roads in the same county, communicating therewith, and for making several new branches of road, to communicate with the said roads. Amongst several toasts given at a recent public meeting at Boston, in America, are the following The Northern blast, which has withered the right arm of French tyranny;" and May our rejoicings for victory be tempered with the recollection, that the British have been, and are again lo be ill Illlily witil us." The Pope has SCHill evincedhissubserviency to Buonaparte, and what an engine he may be made. He recently sent his nuncio to Spain, where he intermeddled until the Constituted Authorities gave him his dismissal. It has also been discovered, that his Holiness sent secret instructions to the Spanish Bishops, to promote, by all possible means, the re-estab- lishment of ihe Inquisition. A youti" female having the left arm, should er, and hand, jet black, and all the rest of the body very fair, was lately in Olle of the hospitals of the metropolis. Dr. Wells laid an account of the circumstance before the Royal Society. The woman is considered as handsome, has bright blue eyes, fair com- plexion, and is a native of Sussex, and the daughter of white persons, her mother being twice married, and having nine or ten chil- dren, all of whom are perfectly while, and without any marks, except the present case. Fhe skin of the black differs little in texture from that of the white arm, except, a small space, which is hard and has a scaly appear- -i,ge wli -,issiglle(i ance. The only rause which hay been assigned for this singular occurrence is, lier mother during pregnancy, set her foot upon a living lobstet- Caution to Apprentices.-At Nottingham Sessions, William Bateman for ttic regiment of Militia, he being an Apprentice, was ordered to he imprisoned nine montht, then to serve the remainder of his Apprenticeship. and at the expiration thereof to join the Nottingham regiment of Militia, It appeared that the prisoner had received five guineas on his attestation.—The recorder observed, that the punishment in these cases of fraud and perjury had hitherto been small, but from their frequent occur- rcurc in that town, it was become necessary to make the punishment more severe and lie wished it be understood, that in future it would be so. The will of the late Duchess of Brunswick was proved on Thursday. Her Royal High- ness's properly in Great Britain was sworn 4,5,0001. She has left to the Princess of Wales her house at Blackheat'ii, purchased by John Svmmons, Esq. for the life of the Princess, and after her deufh as she shall by will appoint; in default of appointment, to the residuary legatees who are her grandsons, Charles aud William, sons of the Duke of Brunswick, All the pictures, mirrors, statues, ma rhIes, &c purchased of M r: pnmons, she has also left to the Princess of Wales and all oilier furniture, linen, china, glass, wines, hooks and pictures, to her three sons, George Augustus, and William. The will-is dated in 1', Feb. 1808. At the late Cornwall quarter sessions,holden at Truro, before John Gould, Esq. and a respectable bench of justices, Joseph LillIe was put to the bar, charged wifh having vio- lenlly assaulted his wife. When Mrs, Little appeared to give evidence against her turbu- ICIII mate, he addressed her in a plaintive lone, and the following dialogue took place —" My dear, I am sorry to see yon here. So am 1." I hope YOIl will forieme this once, and I will never lift my hand to you again*" You have broke your promises s) I tr(istIN'IY send me back to prison again .• you have a! ways been a good, honest, sober, and virtu ous wife 10 me." "ll is for Ihe good of your soul thai I wish you lo be. punished." "You need not fear file, I will (rive vou all my pro- perty and part from you if you wish it." "1 know it is necessary for my safely and your salvation, (hat you should be coa'nied a little longer a""> The voiunleering hom the Scots Militia to the Line is appoinied for the 1st ol next month; and we understand, that in order to induce men from these regiments to cnlist (OJ the 49th Regiment, they are not to be requir- ed to serve out of iVorlh.America to.be en titled to their discharges within six month* after the conclusion of a general peace and to receive a grant of lands in the King's North American dominions, proportionate to tin rank they hold at ihe time they are discharged. viz a private 50 acres, a corporal 60, aud a serjeant 75: the interest, inwhichistobese cured to their wives and children, in the event of the men dying: before the periodat which they are to be entitled to the grant. As a further encouragemcnt 10 men who may en gage for the 49th, their olives and children are to be sent to the station of that corps free of expence, within twelve months after their It usuands em ba rkat ion. The great Fool Iface.—No sporting event, since the great Barclay match, has engrossed o mueh altenlioll as that which commenced on Friday night and Saturday morning, on Sunbury Common, between Rainer, the Kent- ish mall, and Cross, Captain Barclay's groom, the latter of whom had been six weeks in traininif, under the immediate direction of the Captain, according to his own system, and was in perfect condition, as was Rainer also, who was managed by fi. Grinley. A marquee for the pedesl nanswas pitched on each side the road, at the starting place, and from thecon- course of peop'e, and the number of stands and booths, the whole had the appearance of a race-course. Cross started to do the 100 miles at 12 o'clock, and Rainer at one, and belling was two to one on Cross, even bet- the winner did the ground in eighteen even that Ct-oss did it in eighteen and a half. Cross went the first, eight miles iu seventy minutes and a half, and Rainer did eight miles in a minute within the hour. Cross did twenty miles in two hours and 57 minutes, and halted a few minutes for refreshment; and Rainer did the same distance in two hours and a half, and hailed to change his shoes. Both men ran fresh and strong for an tiolit after filis timc, and made more play than was ex peeted. Rainer was within three miles of his adversary at 28 miles running, when he break- fasted, during which time Cross headed him considerably. Rainer ran in the32d mile much weakened, and hewas confined lo his marquee by a sort of sickness some minutes, when bet- ting became in favour of Cross, who was going on well. Rainer was six miles behind, when he recovered, and Cross shewed symptoms of weakness, having gone 40 miles in 5 hours and 50 minutes, taking off stoppages. He continued bis journey, unlil he fell down in going the 46th mile, but he recovered a Iittie, got to the marquee, and after having been rubbed-he went another four miles, when he was completely broke down. It appeared Ihat the failure arose from the tendons below (lie of his legs having-lwei) injured, and he was conveyed to Hampton and put to bed, j although he was desirous of allempting- to go on, but Captain Barclay would not suffer him j to add to the injury already sustained, The Captain accompanied his man the first eight, j miles, and the .greater part of the journey, and repeatedly urged him not to make such play, but the reply of the pedestrian was, that he was doing within himself, butthiy was Ihe probable cause of (lie failure. Rainer v ent on fresh, and offered to do nine .'wiles iu one 1) His great object was next to perform j the distance iu 18 hours, to do which lie had something more than five mites an hour to perform. He was often distressed, but re covered, and in doing the 91st mile in 17 hours hefell exhausted, and was carried to the mar- quee, and from thence to Hampton. Both remained in bed on Saturday, but one must do the dUfance to win the race, and two umpires were in attendance io see it done. Cross was in good condition, excepting lameness, and it seems, fell from exhaustion, and had no oilier injury. After the failure of Cross Captain Barclay opened his marquee to Rainer, and supplied him with flannels and refreshments. Cross had 54 miles to do, and Rainer 9 and a halt. Rainer got fresh yester- day morning, and did the remainder of his ground in It¡e more than two hours, thus winning the stake of 400 guineas. Cross re- mains very lame. tØOO-

LOXDDX WEr/HI AUXILBJIY BIBLE scenery. On Tuesday, the I Sib imt. a numerous and re- i pec table meet in* was. held at the Paul's Head J'avern, Caieaton-s.treet^ for the purpose, of form- it;; an Auxiliai ,• Society to furui»h (tie iiume.rou* vVeish poor in- the /Metropolis and ils vicinit} vit\) the Holy Scriptures in their native tongue, •iir Watkin Williams Wynne, Dart. M. P pre- dded, and congratulated the Meeting.on the union >f Christians in promoting the object of the Bri- 'ish and Foreign Bible Sl1eiety, of which it was aovv proposed.to form an additional branch. Sir vVaikin declared himself zealously, attached to Use Church of England,but lie rejoiced to unite with Christians of oilier denominations in put- ring the Seripiiires into the hands of hiscountry- neii and having received many favours from Wales, he oujjht to do his best ui return, ant! was confident he could not do better than by outling the Word of Gad into their hand?. The tlev. Tir. Ilees Idciresse(I the, Meeting on behalf of his .countrymen who abound in the me- tropolis, and have but slender means of religious instruction. He was happy to see the Chair so occupied, and in supporting an object which all present felt alike solicitous to promote. Dr. R. would yield to none in an earnest desire to extend scriptural knowledge, and felt, himself elevated in rank by the honor of proposing what he con- ceived would render an essential service to his poor countrymen. The Secretaries of the Parent Institution, and several other Gentlemen, severally spoke upon the subject, and elucidated the necessity that ex- isted for suchan institution, notwithstanding there were already Auxiliary Societies in the metro- polis particularly as the natives of Wates have a natural connexion with each other, and can more readily discover the poor Welsh in their hidden habitations, and ascertain their wants. They also considered that such a Society would form an im- portant. bond of union among them, and exciteaii increasing concern for each other's welfare. Sir Watkin wasunanimollsly elected President, which office he accepted, and commenced a Sub- scription by a very liberal contribution his ex- ample was followed by the company present to a considerable amount, and Sir W. expressed a de- sire to see a flll attendance of his countrymen at the first Anniversary Meeting of ihe Society, which will he held on Tuesday the 25th instant, at the same place, at 12 o'clock. Awong the Vice-Presidents are—Lord Cawdor, Lord Dy- nevor, &c.
