SWANSEA, FRIDAY, Sept. 10.
SWANSEA, FRIDAY, Sept. 10. Extract of a Letter.from London, dated Eight d Clock Wednesday Evening last. Seldom or never did we witness the public mind su much agitated as it was to-day on the arrival of two Mails from Heligoland, bringing in- telligence from thence to the 4th insr. of the defeat of the French under Gen. Vandamme, in the vici nity of Magdeberg, and of n lVOllst having been surrounded, and placed in a situation without the chance of escape, together with various other com- municalions of almost all equal interest. It would afford the highest gratification if we could place implicit confidence in the truth of this information' but we must confess, that after all the attention we have devoted to the investigation of the different accounts which have reached us from all quarters of the continent, we are obliged to acknowledge, 0 that; the favourable statements from Heligoland alluded to, do not appear to us to he fully esta- blished. It is also worthy of remark, that the ac- counts in the ministerial-Evening Papers of to- night, communicated to the public, ulTIcially, from Government, rest only on the authority of the Go- vernor of who had no other means of ascertaining the facts than were open to every in- habitant on the island, namely, the passengers arrived there from A!tona, Hamburgh, and other places. Having said thus much by way of caution not to be too sanguine in the belief of victories having taken place, it is not exceeding the truth to state, that from the military operations already transpired, the affairs of the continent wear the most promising aspect. We have letters by the Mails from Hamburgh, to the 28th from Altona, of the 80th; from Lubec, of the 27th ult.; from Heligoland, of the 3d inst. and from several other quarters, of differont dates: we shall proceed to communicate their coutenta, without vouching for the truth of them. Heligoland, Sept. 2.—We have the following accounts from the smaller divisions of the armies. The Crown Prince of Sweden has totally defeated Gen. Vandanime near Magdeburg, in which the latter was killed. Davoust is said to be surrounded, and his fall inevitable. The greatest perplexity prevails in Altona from an expectation of soon having the Russians there and it is also said the Authorities in Hamburgh are preparing to leave.' Another letter same date. The Austrian Declaration of the good cause, which has already appeared in the Danish papers the irnasion of Saxony by the Austrians; a battle certainly lost by the I French, in which Gen. Vandamme was killed, near Mag- deburg, in which Davoust is said to have been severely wuuudcd j nndiast, the prevailing opinion, that Denmark will no longer abide by the French, or rather, the eer tainty that counter orders have been given to one corps which was to have joined them. must, together, have a fa. vourable influence on the operations of the war.' 4 Heligoland, Sept. 2.—The Russians and Swedes have beaten the French and Danes on the 24th most completely. Ihe Prince of Eclnnuhl was saved by a party of Danish hussars in a most miraculous manner. Vandamme is kdled-ollly twelve Danes escaped the whole regiment except those was cut to pieces. It is said that the French and Danish loss together, amounts to several thousands; that of the Allies but trifling. The Russians are within three miles ot Hamburgh, all the works of the forlilicatibns a e stopped, and little resistance expected to be made. The Governor has called upon the inhabitants to aid in de- fence of the town. An engagement (according to all ac- count just reached us) has taken place ill front of Dresden, but no results are stated on this account we are easy, for h,id the French succeeded to any extent we should have heard the news through trumpets from every quarter. Heligoland, Sept. 3.—One of the last Berlin papers con- tains the intelligence, that 20 French officers in Leipzic unanimously drank the health of Gen. Aioreau; they were called to an account for so doing by the French Governor "f Leipzic, but they appeared before him sword in hand. Bonaparte, on receiviilg this intelligence, was naturally very much exasperated, and is said to have gone imincdi ately to Leipzic at the head of four regiments of cavalry A boat from Hamburgh brings accounts of the 1st from that place. The crew state that the Russians Swedes, and Hanseatic troops were again in Bergedorff, and expected the next day before the gates of Hamburgh. The works of the fortifications had been stopped, and there were only 500 French in the town. I Davoust is surrounded, and is in a dilemma. From Aftona they state that Gen. Vaudamme had been beaten in the vicinity of Kyri!z. The Swedes are at Ratzeburgh and Mollen, and thus in the rear of Echmuhl. It is certain that Cossacks have bcenseenln Schwarzenbeck, Bergedorff, and even in Geest.' We could add various other extracts and letters from Heligoland, but as they only bear upon the same points we suppress them. Altma, Aug. 27.—For three days past our Journals have not broken silence respecting Davoust and his army, who, immediately after the termination of thw Armistice, broke up troin Hamburgh, and went towards Lauenburgh, which place he took after very severe resistance, in which it is said he lost 2000 men, and there is brought daily into Hamburgh a great many wounded French. After this he went to Mecklenberg the Allies did not make great resis- tance, and on the 23d his head-quarters were already(in Schwerin.-This moment, it is said that he is surrounded, Vandamme beaten, Crown Prince across the Elbe, and the Austrians entered Saxons—These are all only reports at present, hut which we hope to see realised in a day or two. -—30th. We have still little news the Hamburgh Gazette of Saturday last contains only a report that the French (Davoust) have entered Wisnrar, and marched towards Rostock, and Davoust had so manoeuvred as to cut off the Swedes from the corps of Gen. Walmoden. It is confirmed 'hat the Austrians have entered Saxony, and that Van- damme died of his wounds at Brunswick.' What throws most doubt on the foregoing intelligence, is the statement of Vandamme being killed, vt ho, it is known, through the medium of the last French oflicial report, was in Boh. mia on the tilt. From Lubeck they state on the 27th, that the French had entered that place the pre- vious day. No news there up to that period. Three per Cent. Consols 57t Consols on Acc. 57 7 si- 7|,—Oran. f if." Mr. Courts, Surgeon, Swansea, takes this op portunity of announcing to his friends and the public, that he has now taken into partnership, Mr. WALTER MITCITTETL, late Surgeon in the Royal Lanark Regiment: a gentleman whom he can with confidence recommend, as well qualified to prac- tice all the three branches of the profession, havin" received a liberal education at the University of Edinburgh; served a regular apprenticeship with two of the most distinguished practitioners there (Messrs. Alexander and George Wood); obtained, immediately afterwards, his diplorna. from that College, in the year 1805, and in 1806 was appoint- ed Surgeon to the above Regiment, in which he has served for upwards of seven years; and received from the Colonel (tne Marquis of Douglas) the strongest recommendations. On Tuesday last, Mr. Thomas Grove was ap- pointed Clerk to the Swansea Canal Company, in the room of Mr. Daniel Jones, deceased. We Understand-that a plan has been suggested for making a roarL from Swansea to Brecon, from funds to be created by the sale of part of the Forest of Brecon, if the consent of the Crown can be obtained for that purpose. An excellent line might certainly be marked out along the Swansea Canal, and over Brecon Forest, to the latter town, which would comprise a disianteof about thirty, two miles. The Carmarthenshire Auxiliary Bible Society held their annual meeting last week, at the White Lion, Carmarthen, The Lord Bishop of St. I h. vi ivs presided on the occasion, and we are much gratified to find, by the report of the Committee, that the funds of the institution continue very respectable; and that its usefulness becomes al- most daily more apparent. May this and the other Auxiliary Societies in the Principality, persevere in their laudable exertions until the earth shall bs full of the knowledge of the Lord." We are sorry to learn tllat the river Towy has overflowed its banks, and inundated the adjacent country to a considerable extent, occasioning great losstoseveratproprietorsof corn crops. In some instances, we hear, whole fields of corn have been swept away. Carmarthen. Great Sessions Concluded on Satur- day fast one prisoner only was convicted, viz.- Edward Jones, for stealing goods to the value of 201. and upwards, from the shop of David and Thomas Davies, at Llau-y-byther. He received sentence of death, but was reprieved.—These Ses, sions were attended by an unusual number of gentlemen of rank and property in the county; and Lord Itobert Seymour, the worthy Representative of Carmarthenshire, gave a splendid ball on the occasion: his Lordship and Lady R. Seymour were unremitting in their polite attentions to their nu- merous guests, and spared no effort to render the evening agreeable indeed, Carmarthen has not witnessed for many years so crowded an assem- btagcot beauty and fashion. Lord and Ltclv Dynevor, accompanied by their eldest son, the Hon. George Rice De Cardonnel, graced the ball with their presence, and experienced that warmth ot feeling, which at all periods has distinguished the reception of every branch of the illustrious house of Dynevor. Mr. De Cardonnel opened the 1)(111 with Miss Mansel; it being his first public appearance at Carmarthen, his affable and polished deportment attracted universal notice; and there is every promise, that he will confer additional honour upon his priweely and noble ancestors, and it blessing to his native country. The merry dance was kept up with great spirit and gaiety to a late hour, and every one seemed tll depart with regret.—On Friday night there was a subscription ball, which was also fully attended. The gaieties of the week appeared to mark every countenance with cheerfulness and good humour. The Ann, frowi Swansea to London, was towed iuto Penzauce on Tuesday, with loss of main-mast. The John, M'Fie, from Cardiff to London, ron on the Nore Sand, on Wednesday night, but was got off on Thursday and proceeded for the River. The master of the Atlas, from Malta for Gree- nock, arrived at Milford, states, that about 100 per- sons at the former place, are usually taken ill of the plague, every day, and that about 50 die daily tbe persons on board are all well. His Grace the Duke of Richmond, and suite, landed on Friday, at Lamplighter's-Hall, from the William and Mary yacht, from Dublin. His Grace will remain at Lord de Clifford's for a few days, and will proceed from thence to Badminton, on a visit to the Duke of Beaufort. On the 11 th ult. the First Anniversary of the Merionethshire Auxiliary Bible Society was held at Bala. The President, Sir W. VV. Wynn, Bart, took the chair, and read the report of the proceed- ings of t he Committee since the commencement of the Institution! The Treasurer then produced a statement of the accounts, by which it appeared that he had remitted to the Parent Institution 7281. 5s. Od. The Rev. Ed. Burn of Birmingham, and the Rev. Joseph Hughes, one of the Secreta- ries of die Parent Society, having been introduced, and the thanks of the meeting fur their attendance being given them, were requested to state their sentiments on the occasion; upon which the Rev. E. Burn, in a very able and energetic manner, refuted the objections generally made to the Bri- tish and Foreign Bible Society, as being subversive to the interests of the Church of England, &c.; shewing that it was from the Bible that we derived z' our most excellent Liturgy and Articles; and con- cluded by commending the zealous exertions of gentlemen in the country in distributing the Scrip- tures amongst the poor peasantry, by which piety will be promoted, and they become better subjects and more faithful lenants.-The Rev. Joseph Hughes then gave a very interesting account of the origin and design of the Parent Institution, and of its operations both at home and abroad and highly complimented the inhabitants of the Prin- cipality for the liberal support which the British and Foreign Bible Society had received from them, their contributions having much enlarged during the last twelve months, by the establishment ot about twenty Auxiliary Societies in the Princi- pality. He had witnessed the liberality of the worthy President, in his readiness to assist at the formation of an Auxiliary Society amongst the Welsh Inhabitants of the Metropolis, and highly commended the excellent example he had set to the Nobility of the Principality, in promoting reli- gious knowledge by the diffusion of the Scriptures. Thanks were then voted to the President, &c. and the meeting adjourned. On Monday, the Burgesses of Welshpool assem- bled at the Oak. Ion, to partake of a sumptuous dinner, provided by Mr Wui. Jones, on his election as a burgtss of that Corporation. The table was furnished with delicacies, and songs, toasts and sentiments enlivened the conviviality of the evening. The anniversary meeting of that Loyal Society, the Menai Pitt Club. was held at the Sportsman Inn, in Carnarvon, on Saturday the 28th ult. and was very respectably attended. At this meeting the members appeared decorated with the medals worn by the Parent Society in London, The arch of the new bridge erecting over the ri- ver Dee, near Overton, at the joint expense of the counties of Denbigh and Flint, fell down a short time ago, when about two-thirds turned, and the trussed center, which had been erected at a cost of upward^of 2000J. was literally crushed to atoms, Dreadful murder.-On Friday morning, a. man who resided with his father and mother, in a cot- tage within a. short distance of Abergavenny, from some sudden and diabolical impulse, which he cannot account for himself, formed the horrible resolution of murdering both his parents, which In instantly carried into effect by beating toeir heaas arms, and other parts of their bodies, with a heavy bar ot wood, so as to fracture the bones completely into pieces. He then w"nt to a brother-in law, and told him he had done the deed oil his in- quiring what, he stated the sanguinary tragedy he had just perpetrated, and said he was now come to murder his sister also. The monster was in. stantly apprehended. He is about forty years ot age, a. savage in intellect and totally unacquainted with the rudiments of religion.' Luke Heath, convicted of murder at the Ghu- cester Assizes (tS mentioned in our last Paper) wis executed on Monday, agreeably to his sentence. He acknowledged his guilt, and in htslasc moments manifested contrition for his heinous offence, Bristol Fair commenced on Wednesday.

Loss of the William Miles.—We are sorry to an- nounce the accident which befel this valuable ship upon her entrance into the upper and siiifili lock of the Cumberland Basin, Bristol, on Wednesday afternoon. The William Miles and the Sarah, both vessels of heavy burthen, had left Kingroad within two days of the lowest neap tide they left the road with their full cargoes; and both arrived within a few minutes of each other at the entrance of the Basin. The William Miles pointed to the upper lock, and had entered within two yards of her stern, when a supposed press-gang appeared on the sides of the lock. The William Miles was immediately deserted; and having entered the lock when the tide was ebbing, and being a burthensome ship with a remarkable convexity in her hold, upon the reflux of the tide, she was sus- pended between the sides of the lock, the bottom of which forms the sides of a circle, and from the weight;f her cargo, she immediately bilged. Her cargo ot rum is, we hear, wholly saved, and about 100 hogsheads of sugar, and of course her sails, masts, rigging, and stores the loss, it is reported, will be above 60,0001. An awful arid remarkable circumstance,—On Tues- day a coroner's inquest was taken on the body of Daniel Poole, of Pill, near Bristol. It appeared that the deceased was found dead, on Sundav morning, in a field on the north side of the parish of Wraxali; and that when be died, he was in the act of killing a sheep which he had just stolen. In his right hand was a bloody knife, and his clothes and body were every where soiled with gore and dirt. Near him lay his gun; discharged and at a short distance a wounded sheep, which had evidently been shot at, and had a slight wound under the ear. Poole was perfectly lifeless, very black in the face, and altogether a horrible spec- tacle. In a ditch was concealed a sack, which being searched, was found to contain the carcase of another sheep, paunched, skinned, cleaned, and cut up! whilst a patch of newly-turned earth marked the spot where the skin and offals were buried.

To the ESITOll of the CAMBRIAN. SIR, Understanding, to my great surprise and regret, that several persons have presumed to take offence at certain passages in a work, written by me, enti- tied, The Philosophy of Nature, I beg leave, through the medium of your widely circulated Paper, to as- sert, that' there is not a single reflection in that work, which is not decidedly general; and thai there is not one allusion, which, in strict justice, can be construed into a personal one. Having no enmities I eculd have no unworthy feeling to gratify it would, therefore, have been a wantonness, totally foreign to tliy natural charac- ter, and equally at variance with true taste, had I permitted myself to indulge in personalities of any sort. If I have written in a manner to come home to the feelings and bosoms of men, such, I trust, will never be converted into arguments ot hostility by the liberal and more enlightened portion of the world. Though I am little anxious, as to the opi- nions of persons ill-qualified to judge ot literary merit or demerit, Jet I am not ashamed to confess that 1 should feel great pain were I conscious that I had written a single passage which could, by anv legitimate application, wound the feelings even 01 the most ignorant or of the most unworthy. m I am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, Aug. 21,1813.
