AN ACCOUNT OF THE COUNTRY BETWEEN SMOLENSK AND MOSCOW. The following detailed account of the seat of war in Russia, and particularly of the road from Smo- lensk to Moscow, we have copied from the Military Chronicle. It is given in the form of an itinerary from one place to another :— We quitted Smolensk after a stay of three days. We croc.;cH the Dnieper over a wooden bridge into the suburbs, and pursued o>journey through a beautiful valley, spotted with underv ood, and terminating on each side in gentle eminences clothed with trees. As we advanced, the country became mors abrupt, but no where rose into any considerable hill. Near Slovoda, a large straggling village, where we stopped for a few hours during the darkness of the night, we again crossed the Dnieper (which circled round us) on a raft formed of trunks of trees tied together with cords, and scarcely large enough to receive the carriage, which sunk it some inches underwater. This machine was then pushed from the banks until it met another of the same kind, on which the horses stepped with difficulty; and the distance of the two rafts from each other was so considerable, that the carriage could scarcely be prevented from slipping between them into the river. The second stage from this primitive ferry is Dogorobush, built on a rising hill, and exhibiting, like Smolensk, though on a smaller scale, an intermixture of churches, houses, cot- tages, corn-fields, and meadows in short, quite an Arcadian, or agricultural town, every house having its garden, orchard, and paddock..This place was formerly a strong fortress, and was frequently besieged during the wars between Russia and Poland, r rom the ramparts of the ancient citadel we Commanded an extensive view of the adjacent country, con- sisting of a large plain w'Stc; oi hy-th^ winding Dnieper, and bounded by distant hills. From Dogorobush we proceeded twero-y four miles to a small village called Zaratesh, where we thought ourselves 1 fortunate rn Keing housed for the night in- a tolerable hut, a* wbich afforded a rare instance of accommodation in these parts, a room separated from that used by the family. « August 27."—Our route next morning, from Zaratesh to ma. 1uj through a continued forest, occasionally relieved by the intervention of pastures and corn-fields. When we -teffected that we were in the fifty-fifth degree of north lati- tude, we were surprised at the forwardness of the harvest. • The wheat and barley were already carried in, and the pea- sants weje employed in cutting the oats and millet. Since our departure from Smolensk the weather had got remarkably coki, and the wind had the keenness of a November blast j the peasants, in consequence, had all assumed their sheep- skins, or winter-dresses. At a small distance from Viasma we passed the rivulet of the same name, which runs into the Dnieper. We then mounted a small eminence to the town, Viasma makes a magnificent appearance with its domes and spires rising above the trees; the trees moreover in full leaf, and the spires shining under the setting sun. The town covers a vast ex- tent of ground, from this intermixture of gardens and streets, which is characteristic of all this part of Russia. The build- ings, however, are mostly of wood. Part of the principal street is formed like the Russian roads, of trees laid cross- way4 and part is boarded with planks, like the floors of a room, which is another peculiarity of this country. The churches in these small towns and villages are chiefly orna- mented with cupola and several dorn-s i the outside walls are either white-washed or painted red, and the cupolas or domes are generally green, or of a different colour from the other parts. At some distance the number of spires and domes rising above the trees, would lead the traveller to expect a large city, where he finds only a straggling village. The cottages are built in the same manner as those of Lithuania, but larger and better finished. They are of a square shape, formed of whole trees piled one upon another, and the interstices filled up with moss and clay. Within, the timbers are smoothed with the axe, but on the outside are left with the, bark in their rude state. The roofs are in the pent house form, and are composed of bark or shingles. The whole house is constructed with the axe alone, as the saw is unknown. They finish the shell, or four walls, before they construct the doors or windows, and then cut them out ac- cording to their taste. The windows are mere poles, shutting in with sliding boards, and the doors are so low as not to ad- mit a middle sized man without stooping. The staircase, if any, is a ladder, but most of the cottages have only two rooms, and one story. We were frequently wakened by the chickens picking the grains from the straw on which we were sleeping. And the wolves and bears are sometimes inore mischievously intrusive. The furniture in these cottages consists chiefly of a wooden table or dresser, and benches fastened to the sides of the room; the utensils are wooden platters, bowls, and spoons, with, perhaps, one large earthen pan for cooking. The food of the peasants is black rye bread, or sometimes white, eggs, salt fish, bacon,.and mushrooms. The favourite and holiday dish is a hedge-pedge of meat, oatmeal, and rye flour, highly seasoned with onions and garlic. August 28.—We hid entered the vast forest af Volkon- skoi near Viasma. This forest continued for 150 miles with- out interruption, almost to the gates of Moscow. It gives rise to the principal rivers of European Russia, the Dwina, the Dnieper, and the Volga. The sources of the Duna, or Dwina, were at some distance from our route, but these of the Dnieper and the Volga rose at a small distance from each other, not far from Viasma. The country in this part was more than usually broken into hilhand dale, and therefore various and pleasing. "We reached the village of Gretkeva towards the close of the evening, but imprudently proceeded on our journey, ano- ther stage of eighteen miles. The evening was exceedingly dark, cold, and rainy; the road uncommonly bad, and we were in continual apprehension of being overturned. The e greatest danger, however, which we had encountered was unknown to is till we reached the end of the station. We were then informed by our servants, that we had crossed a broad piece of water upon <1 wooden bridge without railing. so infirm that it almost cracked under the carriage, aud so narrow that one of the hind wheels was, for an instant, sus- pended over the precipice. Our good fortune, however, brought us safe, between twelve and one., to a ccttag-; at Mo- jaisk. I can say nothing of Moja«s*, as we entered it so late, August 29. We departed next morning by day-break, changed horses at the village of Selo Naro, and arrived early in -the evening at Malo a Viasma, embosomed in the foresr. and pleasantly situated at the edge of a small lake, This place was distant only twenty-tour miles from Moscow, where we were impatient to arrive, but we prudently deferred 01Jr journey until the next morning, as we did not choose to tempt fortune by exposing ourselves a second time to danger m a cark night and unknown country. The road for some wav before we came to Malo a Viasma, and thence to Moscow, was a broad straight avenue cut through the forest. trees composing these boundless woods, set by the hand"V nature, weiC oaks, beech, ashes, pines, poplars, and firs. mingled together in the most wanton variety. The different shades cf green, and the rich tints of the autumnal colours, were inexpressibly beautiful, whiist the sublime but uniform expanse offorest, was occasionally relieved by recesses of pastures and corn fields. August 30. The approach to Moscow was first an- to us at the distance cf six miles, by some spires overtopping an en;inwir.e at the extremity of the broad avenue cut through the forest. About two or three miles farther we ascended a height, from whehcg a most superb prospect of the vast city before us, burst upon our sight.—It stretched in the lorm of a crescent to a prodig.sms extent. Innumerable churches, towers, gilded spires ana Iomes glittering in the sun, formed a splendid appearance, y^ strongly contrasted by the intermixture..gf wooden houses, she neighbouring country was undulating; the forest reached to vKhin a mile of the ramparts, and was succeeded by a range of open pastures. We passed the river Moskwa on a floating raft, which bent under the weight of our carriage. After a strict exami- nation of our passports, we drove through the suburbs, along a wooden road; entered one of the interior circles of the town, called the Bielgorod, and took up our quarters at a good and convenient inn."

COMMUNICATION FROM A NATIVE OF MOSCOW. In the possession of Moscow, Bonaparte hoped to secure for his army good winter quarters, and abundance of supplies, For the attainment of the first object, it is probable that enough of the town has been rescued from the flames; for though the buildings in Moscow consist chiefly of small wooden houses, there are whole streets of stone and brick palaces roofed with iron, and the walls of these edifices are so prodigiously thick, that the conflagration could scarcely spread through them. The phrase used in the Bulletin Moscow is no more," was perhaps employed to produce a strong impression on the minds of the Russian people, and to alienate their affections from their Government, as the alleged cause of such destru ction.-But though a sufficient number of buildings may remain to afford barracks for the French army, it is difficult to imagine, how this army is to be subsisted through a long wimer in this rigorous climate. The statement in the 20th Bulletin, that, every house was provided for eight months with necessaries of every description," is per- fectly false. The season for laying in a stock of provisions had not arrived when the French entered Moscow. It is only about the middle of October, just before the snow begins to fall, that the winter supplies are collected. At other seasons of the year, the general stock of provisions in the town is calculated only for a short period of consumption. It is equally false that the French found large supplies of wines, brandy, &c. in the cellars. The middle and inferior classes at Moscow are altogether without any supplies whatever of these articles. They are obliged to be contented with humble kvass, a beverage, that may hereafter produce a greater mortality among the French, than the grapes of Champaigne did among the Prussians under the Duke of Brunswick, at the com- mencement of the revolution. In the cellars of the richer and higher orders alone were such supplies to be discovered, but .in no proportion to the quantity stated in the Bulletin.—The necessity for collecting stores for the winter is occasioned by the cessation of all intercourse between Moscow, and the smaller towns, villages, and estates, during that severe season. Except the great and leading roads of the Empire, every highway and footpath is lest in the fallen snow. It is diffi- cult to conceive how the French army can obtain the means of subsistence for the winter, surrounded, as it must be, by impassable trackless snow, and 'by a hostile population.— Bonaparte has asserted, that he found in Moscow 60,000 stand of arms, and 160 pieces of cannon. This is not to be credited i-there is no arsenal at Moscow; and the prodigious extent of the town renders It perfectly indefensible. It is sur- rounded by no fortified lines, and so numerous a park of artillery was not requisite for the defence of the Kremlin.— A circumstance which hitherto appears to have escaped general observation is, the probable diminution of the numbers of the French, by the effects of climate alone, at this season of the year. There are three rivers, which partly surround and flow through the city of Moscow and the fogs and ex- halations from them, just previously to the falling of the snow, are extremely injurious to the health, even of the inha- bitants seasoned to the climate. In these destructive miasmata the Russians will probably have an effective ally; and we may confidently expect, that thousands of Bonaparte's southern troops will thus be sacrificed to the pestilential rigours of a Russian climate. While the numbers of the French army are diminishing, to those of the Russian, a constant augmentation will be made. The destruction of the greater part ..f Ainscnw, in- stead of dispiriting the Rnscijo nobility, has exasperated and animated them to the greatest exertions and sacrifices. Al- ready have they placed one-tenth of their vassals at the dis- posal of the Government: and it is calculated, that, by this mode of supply, upwards of 400,000 men may be raised. In Russia there are forty-two provincial or departmental Go- vernments and it is supposed, that even the smallest will be able to raise nearly 10,000 recruits.—In penetrating to Mos- cow, it appears, that Bonaparte calculated on a certain spirit of disaffection to the Government, which has generally been known to exist in that part of the empire but he seems to have committed the gross error of concluding, that, because the Muscovite nobility were dissatisfied with the Govern- ment, he should find them ready to join a Corsican invader. He has been deceived and disappointed. It is certainly true, that a sort of esprit de corts-or what may rather be called an esprit de rang-pervades this class of the Russian nobility. They consist chiefly of the most ancient families in the em- pire. They have been established in the territory of Moscow and the neighbouring provinces for ages; they have always been in a marked degree attached to the ancient metropolis, and consequently have viewed with jealousy the rapid growth of the new capital in the north.—These and other circum- stances, by fosterihg a spirit of union among them, have given them a consciousness of importance and strength; and their opinions have not always been in unison with those of the Court. But these feelings have nothing in them unpatriotic,— nothing favourable to the views of a foreign interest,—no- thing that Bonaparte should have conceived to be favourable to his designs.-It remains only to say a word on that in- fluence which it is suspected may divert the Emperor Alex- ander from his present determination to reject all overtures to a pacification. Romanzoff, though much abused, is, in his heart, a Russian. At the period when Great Britain and Russia were at variance, he was suspected, because he mani- fested no preference in our favour, of an attachment to the policy of France. The latter was then the inclination of the Russian Court, and Romanzoff, who is by no means a man of powerful talents, followed the stream. He is too timid, and too humble an individual, to guide the decisions of Alex- ander. He is content with the moderate ambition of endea- vouring to ascertain the wishes of the Emperor, and of con- tributing to their fulfilment.—The same observations may be applied to Kurakin.

DREADFUL MURDERS. On Saturday, the 17th instant, a farmer's wife, near Kingsbridge, Devon, was found murdered in the kitchen, on the return of her husband from labour. The clothes of the murderer were found beside her body, he having, with great coolness, put on those of the master of the house. A close pursuit was instantly commenced by Mr. Lane and others, from Kingsbridge; and, on Monday, they apprehended him in the Passage House at Torpoint, near Plymouth-dock, preparing to go into Cornwall. He then wore the clothes of the deceased's husband, instantly confessed the fact, and was recognised as a well known pedestrian, who had been in the habit of supplying the counties of Devon and Cornwall with ballads, &c. He said that he ap- proached the house in which the deceased lived, and, having ascertained the absence of the owner, he entered the kitchen, and found the woman busily employed about dinner, knocked her down with a broom-stickt took up a bill hook, which he stuck in her neck, and finished the business by cutting her throat with a pruning-knife that he then took 4-1. out of her pocket, and, opening a drawer, took out the clothes of her .Usband and put them on, leaving his own on the ground. Being strongly suspected of violating the person, and afterwards murdering, IvIFi-y fluxtable, a female child of Dadbrook, he declined answering the questions put to him j said, that he knew he should be hanged, and that, if he had any confessions to make, he had time on the road, and should have some con- versation with the officers. Before he quitted Piv- mouth-dock, he was recognised by an officer, as having been sentenced to two years' imprisonment at Exeter, in the year 1809, for attempting to violate and murder a child. Since writing the above, we have received another account, which states that his name is T. Lisrombe, a labourer, and the victim of his barbarity is Sarah Ford, of North Huish parish, aged 60 years. He has like- wise acknowledged having murdered Sarah Huxtable, whom, on the soth Jan. he met near Ball Cross, and, by the promise of a penny, engaged her to shew him the way to Sentry-gate. As they were passing through a fieid 1, attempted to perpetrate his diabolical inten- tions, but w;ij prevented by the child's resistance and cries; he in conquence knocked her .down with a hedge stake, and, ^hile she lay insensible on the ground, beat her skull to pirfres between two stones. He then stripped the body of"tht clothes, washed his hands and trowsers in an adjoining pool, and returned to his lodgings. He is in years, lame, and of a for- bidding appearance. He asserts that he had no asso- ciates in these murders. For the discovery of the last murder 200 guineas were offered in the Gazette. Another horrid murder was committed on Monday night, at Longford, a small village near Market Dray. ton, Shropshire (about ten miles distant from the place where Mr. Morey was murdered by his wife and ser. vant), on the bodies of Mr. F. Bruce, a farmer, and his housekeeper, who were both found on Tuesday se'n- night, in the kitchen, with their throats cut, and the house robbed. The Coroner's Inquest, which sat on the Wednesday following, had not been able to make any discovery. The blood had, however, been traced to a stile and gate at Morton, a distance of a mile, which, it is hoped, will lead to a discovery of the perpetrators. A letter from Deal says,—" A murder of an atrocious nature has just been committed on board of a ship lying in the Downs. From the best information I can collect, it appears that the deceased was serjeant of marines, and, for some cause, was ordered by the Lieutenant, commanding in the absence of the Captain, to walk the quarter-deck, with a musket on his shoul- der, like a private this, it appears, he refused to do, remarking to th-c officer, that he might put him in irons, or bring him to a Court Martial if he chose, and if he should happen to be broke, it would then be time enough for him to carry a musket. This reply seems to have irritated the son of Neptune so much, that he went down below for his dirk, and, coming again on deck, ran the unfortunate serjeant through the body, and he expired almost immediately." A letter from New Orleans of August the 8th, gives the following relation :-On the 7.2-d July, a negro be- longing to Mr. Pierre Doucet, of Opelousas, in the absence of his master, took an axe, deliberately sharp- ened the edge in the sight of his mistress, to whose interrogatory what he was about, he replied, that he was preparing to run away a short time after he entered the house, and meeting his mistress, split her .skull at one blow: the daughter on hearing the noise, flew to the aid of her mother, and shared the same fate; one of the sons alarmed at the shrieks, appeared in sight, but seeing the axe uplifted, attempted to escape; but was pursued by the monster to an ad- jacent fence, and killed. The negro then returned to the house, and murdered three other little children as they were taking their afternoon's nap and set fire to the building. He then attempted to escape, but. his, horse being untractable, carried him to a neighbouring plantation, where, after some interrogatories, he was detained. He afterwards confessed his crime-said that his father was a warrior, and that he had inherited the family courage—that what he had killed before he would not think of counting, but if they would only let him loose, he would let them see how many he could kill. The same hardihood attended him through his trial—and on being sentenced to the gallows in two hours,, he appeared anxious to reach the spot, and when there, would not wait for the cart to be driven from under him, but told the bystanders to get-out of his way and let him jump—which he did The unfortunate man, who fell a victim to some bloodthirsty villains in the neighbourhood of Rudding- ton, Notts, was named Thomas Henson, who had been for some time the driver of Pettifer's waggon. The wretches effected their inhuman purpose with a large cloven oak hedge-stake, which was found on the road, besmeared with blood. The unhappy sufferer, it ap- peared, had been drawn through the fence into a grass field, where he was found weltering in his blood, with a violent cut upon his head, and his skull fractured, totally deprived of sense and the power of speech. He was conveyed to the town of Ruddington, where sur- gical assistance was- immediately procured but to no purpose, as he died about twelve o'clock next day. An inquest was taken on the body, but no evidence appeared that could h ad, in the smallest degree, to a trace of the horrid act a verdict was therefore given of 11 wilful murder," against some person or persons unknown.—A reward of 1501. has been offered to any person who can give such information as may lead to the conviction of the murderers.

Lancasterian Schools .-On Friday evening last, Joseph Lancaster delivered a public lecture at the Swan Inn, Tewkesbury, to a large and respectable auditory, ex- planatory of the Loyal British or Lancasterian System of Education; in the course of which the patriotic and enlightened inventor fully elucidated the subject- pleaded with peculiar energy and feeling the claims which the poor had upon our most indefatigable efforts to grant them instruction-detailed the happy effects that had already resulted to this nation from the edu- cation afforded to some of its poorest individuals—ad- duced Scotland as an example to her neighbours in affording tuition to the lower classes of the people- deeply deplored the mental poverty and wretchedness of the Irish peasantry—proved how little necessity there was for apprehending" danger to the Church" from the education of youth in the system he advo- cated-dwelt with great feeling and animation upon the blessedness that would accrue to this country and to the whole world, from the united efforts of the ad- vocates for educating the poor, and the promoters of the British and Foreign Bible Society—and concluded a long and interesting address in the memorable words of our venerable Sovereign, expressed by his Majesty to the respectable Lecturer himself—that he wished every poor person within these kingdoms to be able to read the bible." Remarkably High Tide.Wednesday afternoon, about three o'clock, the inhabitants of Palace-yard, West- minster, were thrown into great confusion, in conse- quence of the water from the Thames overflowing their houses, occasioned by the extreme high tide. The tide also burst forth into Westminster Hall, and filled the place. Three boats were soon afterwards brought in to convey the passengers-put at a shilling per fate. At Milbank, Chelsea, arid several other places up the river, great damags was sustained by the water washing away the fences of several shrubberies; and one time the tide was so high as to cover the top of the first arch of Westminster-bridge. The; ware- houses below London-bridge were also completely inundated, and many articles deposited therein washed away. Letters from America announce the death of Cooke, the actor, who, js sc id to have fallen a victim to the dropsy at New-YcJk., <>f }>'td Accident.—On Tuesdny, the 6th inst. a coal-pit at Shineyrow, countv of Durham, suddenly took fire by explosion of the inflammable air, in consequence of which one man and six boys were severely scorched. Thev are all, however, in a fair way of recovery, having the advantage of very proper medical treatment. But cn the Saturday following (Oct. io), about half past one p. m. the Harrington Mill Pit, distant from the s.bove-mentioned pit about 2 or 300 yards, also took fire, most suddenly, by which four men and nine- teen boys were killed upon the spot, and many people severely wounded and burnt: two boys are still missing. This dreadful catastrophe was likewise occasioned by the explosion of fire-damp. The writer of this article visited the melancholy scene of distress, and had the particulars from those who were in the pit at the time of the explosion, and likewise from those pitmen who went to the assistance of the sufferers. They all concur that both these mines were well conducted upon the present plan and that it was by fair work- ing'' that the explosions took place that these mines were not, hitherto, subject to the fire-damp; that the pitmen enjoyed, at all times, a proper supply of atmos- pheric air. But such is the very uncertain state of the pitmen in general, when at work in the mines, that even under the most favourable circumstances (as in the above instance) they know not how soon they may be visited by such a dreadful calamity and this arises from the very insecure methods which are in use for affording them light in the mines.—In searching for the boys who are missing, and in clearing out the mine, after the havoc which was made in the workings, &c. the pitmen were employing steel mills but inde- pendently of the very trifling light which a piece of flint affords, these mills are by no means safe instru- ments; for the steel mills have frequently ignited the fire damp, and therefore their superiority over a candle is only comparative. After such frequent and shocking accidents of this nature, it is time that more effectual means should be had recourse to for their prevention. Fatal Accident.—Monday se'nnight, a lad at Hales- bury farm, Box, near Bath, was thrown down and gored by a bull. An elderly man went to his assis- tance and in a few minutes some workmen perceived the man expiring under the feet of the enraged animal. It is supposed that he was killed by being trampled upon, as the bull's horns were not above four inches long, and as he had no appearance of being gored but his jaw-bone was broken, and he was much bruised about the chest. The bull has since been shot. A few days since, a gentleman, who was out a shooting, in a wood, near the Ashford-road, in the parish of Lympne, in Ireland, found the body of a man, which had dropped from the head, that still hung suspended from a ree. On inquiry, it was discovered to be that of a s.dier in Capt. M'Kay's.Company, nth Veteran Batt- ion, who had been missing nearly a month from the regiment. He had been in a de- sponding way ever since the death of his wife. She had followed him through every campaign, during 32 years, and on one occasion had been wounded in battle with him, by the same shot- A few days since one of the Norwich coaches was robbed of bank-notes, to the amount of five hundred pounds. A man is in custody who attempted to pass some of the notes. A genteelly dressed man, of the name of Lane, is in custody, charged with sending threatening letters to Mrs. Tilney Long Wtitlesiey, to extort money. The prisoner stated in his letters, that he was. emharrassed" and that he would shoot her if she did not send hil1\\ The prisoner is said to belong to a respectable family, known to Mrs. L.

One of them devoured 23, another 22, and the third, after dispatching 19 and a half, was obliged, very reluctantly, to yield the contest, and pay for the gluttony of himself and companions 11 Curious Elope,-nent.-A young woman, after a coi^rfe* ship o £ se-venyears, and being publicly proclaim^? twi Sunday se'nnight'with a Shoe-maker, in Po^'rijaiMurri^1 was last week married to a private of the RenfreWshii» £ militia, presently stationed in the barracks of this place, to the no small vexation and disappointment of the shoe-maker, who, immediately raised a process of damages at his instance against her before the Sheriff. The young tvife, however, grown tired of the soldier, ran off last Monday to Edinburgh, with her old lover the cobler, to be married, and left the Son of Mars to experience some of that poignant grief and disappoint- b ment which had so recently been the lot of Crispin.- Perth Courier. Remarkable Loitgeniity.•—There is now living in the parish of Tippermuir, about five miles to the north of Perth, John Hay, aged 107 years in very good health. He was born in the parish of Gask, bred a farmer, and now resides on a small piece of land, belonging to the Earl of Kinnoul, by whose bounty his wants are supplied. He is married to a second wife, but his children are all dead. He can walk ten or twelve miles a day. In the cou) s" of his long life, he seldom tasted -spirittiotis liquors. He remembers in the year 1715* carrying ammunition to the King's army, and of seeing a cannon dragged by sixteen oxen and two horses. A singular marriage took place lately, near the Old Head, Caithness, between a woman of too years and a man of 70, being her third husband. It is somewhat remarkable, that on the same night she was married to her first husband, her second was born. Mr. Colman, in a letter to the Morning Post, con- tradicts his having written an address for the opening of the New Drury-lane Theatre, and adds, I never was mad, nor ever foolish enough to attend to (further than to laugh at) the advertisement for addressing competitors, to be judged by Mr. Whitbread's Entire Committee." ,-k-J A call in Amertcan paper, for 1500 Virgins, to unite with the of the west in the holy cause of their country, lately excited a great interest among all the females of America but it proved to be a mistake of the printer, and was only an invecation to 1500 Vir- ginians to enroll themselves under the banners of their country. It is said that in the scarcity of Generals in America, Mr. Munro, the Secretary of State, is to assume the truncheon, and it is expected that this gentleman, who never witnessed a battle in his life will retrieve the honour of the American Army.
