SIEGE OF DANTZIC. The siege of Dantzic was one of the most interesting episodes of the late war. Bona lJarle has been generally blamed for having abandoned in distant ramparts and on frozen banks so many brave men, whose courage <tllev say,) vvas,lost 1.!i 1,.ts ulterior )Iierittic3i, Such is l/ie common opinion of the resolution to preserve Dantzic, after the unfortunate re salts: but Napoleon's position counselled him to keep I his tmporlallt place, where he pos- sessed vast magazines,ant: particularly 120,000 new firelocks, gram to the amount of 10 mil- lions, clothing to that of 15 millions, and a treasure 01 12 millions levied upon Courlaud. These :riches,.which could 1101 be withdrawn after the disorder and prectptianon of the dt"- feat which terminated so unexpectedly the ,campaign of Moscow, would have -sufficiently„ justified i lie resistance of Dantzic, even if a juore powerful motive had not expressly com. ima<>ui-d II. After lhe junctioll of lheditferent Corlii, the ■garrison of Oantzic fotiiid itself composed (if 33 thousand men but, by a strange mlxture," and which evinces the disorder of the retreat fro,u Moscow these 33 thousand belonged ■<> twenty-two different nations. When on the retreat from Moscow, the French army lied in calamitous runt across Russia, Poland, and. Prussia, it disencumbered itself of a part of the -s ck which it brought with it, by throwing tlieui info the lowns, which opened themselves in lis passage. Dantzic received 10.000 or lie*a vicibas; but, by an improvidence ot ow (j I (11 almost all the strong places presented a deplorable example, Dautzic had no hospitals prepared, no beds, no medicines meat or re- ¡¡t"oratitJefo}d. These unfortunate men died from the first day they entered Dantzic the pestilential exhalations which arose from this pile of corpses, concentrated in the same in dosure, spread an epidemy which seized in- differently both the military and the cittzens Struck, in this contagious city, by an inctiru- b!e tua-iady, the soldiers regretted the flames of Moscow,thegulphsof the Berestua, and the snows of Lithuania. These dying melt were seen along the streets, wandering like spectres, -and covered with rags, accosting passengers III a silly manner, and with the whimsical sign* oi a vertigo and delirium, which are the ordi- nary symptoms of this malady three hundred persons died in a day. Ihe Generals f lac- cllesdy and Ganlt were the first victims. T-tn funerals of indl1. idoills of all ranks & a, aHd of both sexes, succeeded without interruption., and crossed each ulÍlcr in the quarters of iiiis great city in IlIollflllng. T:ie funeral proees sion ol the Senator met that of Sue f'lencii -ravt.- iiicloseil ('or evel officer, and the same grave inclosed lor evet Poles, Bavarians, Tuscans, Saxons, Spaniards, Westphilians, Bavarians, Neapolitans. 1, dying, these foreigners, moved by the love ui their country, demanded their families and their native land, which they were destined never to behold again. General Rappsoon became acquainted that the enemy was apprised of the ravages which the epideipy made in the place they invested. Iu order to prevent U>e knowledge of losses, which would make them more enterprising, Governor forbad processions, attendants, and funeral ceremonies. Frolil that lime, these were no longer heard, at military fune- I rals, the mournful sound of muffled drums, aiid the -voliies which resounded «.<ver the cof- fins of the brave Tiiere was no longer seen, at iiie interment of Uie citizens, Hie plaintive rowof parents and of friends clothed inmourn- in" The grave-diggers earned the body awa^ b* sieaiih sometimes there was seen in the train only the widow, or the sister, or the I daughter, who, in her unconquerable griet, undl'orced to stifle her sighs, formed the sok- escort of a lamented object. In these clan- destine and uniform burials, death, more than ever, unfolded to its victims the terrible level uf equality and in these dreadful moments, nothing disguised the horror of extinction. Tise*plague carried off twelve thousand in- habitants, and twenty-one thousand soldiers* Scarcely ten ttsousand remained under arms.

I LOSS OF THE BARING TRANSPORT. Bear Haven, Oct. 15.—!n consequence of a severe ale of wind coining oil, on the 10th instant tne lieet under convoy of the Sultan, 74 uns, Capt. West, ivas directed to put into Bear LaVCll; the Baring treusport, i. line ship, upwards of TOO tons burllleu, having 011 board IS officers and more than S00 men of the 40th regiment, under the command of Major Shelton, lay too for a pilot off the mouth of the Haven, but so near to the rocks, that she drove upon them on the left side of the entrance, and after striking several, times, lost her rudder she then became unmanagable dr i flerl across the Haven, and struck on the rocks on Bear Island, carrying away her bow- sprit. By the advice of the Master, through the exertions of the Officers, the men were in a great measure kept below, until the water was alTkle deep on the deck every endeavour was then used to get the men-on shore, as the ship was found to be sinking fast: in the con- tusion which invariably occurs on such occa- sions, many of the men jumped overboard, there being no boats near, and several were unfortunately drowned 18 or 20 are at this time missing, but I hope some of them may yet be found upon the islaud. From the ves- sel iiiiiii- so fast, and the exertions of every officer being required in s "ing the men, it was impossible for them to recover any part of the baggage; they have lost almost every thing, and many of the men are in a state of nakedness. I was on the beach from the com- mencement of this unfortunate business, with- out being able to render much assistance, and in justice to the officers on board, 1 must sav, that to their exertions alone it was owing that that so few of the men on board were lost by jumping overboard. With the assistance of the boats belonging to the Sultan, Shamrock, and other vessels in the fleet, Major Shelton, with the aid of the officers on board,succeeded ia gelling the remainder of the men on shore j by dark. The Baring is now covered with water, and I fear nothing on board can be re- covered. It was providential that she did not reniatnwitere she struck in the first instance; had she done so, I fear every soul would have perished, there being a heavy surf, and no possibility of the iiteii upon the rocks I had they jumped overboard, added to which, not a boat could get to her, in consequence of the wind and tide setting into tbeHaveu at the j time.

CAMPAIGN IN RUSSIA. A French paper contains an interesting re- view of a work lately published in Paris, en titled Circumstantial Account of the Cam- paign of Russia. hy Captain Laballrne. of the Royal Corps of Engineers." The following are extracts from that partof the review which gives a picture of the relreat from Moscow: ( The camp of the French was still illuminat- ed by the flames which consumed the ancient capital of the Lzars, when our army was seen issuing from the midst of ruins in apparent triumph, and loaded with spods. But this! mass ot men no longer retained that fortuida- hie aspect that imposing discipline, which had so long been the terror of jjtheir foes. Every soldier, metamorphosed mto a huckster, sold for a trille the most valuable articles. Some rode in magnificent calashes, drawn by a num- her of horses, and turned a deaf ear to the voice of their officers; others, though en camped in the open air, and exposed to con- stant rains, purchased the most delicate viands, ate from porcelain dishes, drank from gold ot silver cups, and all that luxii l'y co ii id imagine of what was sumptuous or ele,iitit.- Then- clothing presented likewise the most singular contrasts: ail the warehouses having been pillaged', private soldiers were seen co- vered with the richest furs some of them were clothed in the Tartar, others in the Cossack or'-Chinese fashions; one wore a Po- Usii cap, the other the high bonnet oftlic Pei-- sians, the Baschkirs or Calinucks; the richest pelisses floated on the shoulders of a poor soldier in short, the army presented the ap- pearance of a carnival. Tiie Russians, however, left us no repose; 'twas necessary to fight at every step, and the ferocity was-80 great, that whole towns dis- appeared under the cannon. Such was 1\1[1. loyaroslavitz the line of the streets could only lie distinguished hy the dead bodies \?ith which they were strewed; the houses were a mere iieal; of-saiukiiig rtiius, on which appear- ed mutilated limbs, half consumed skeletons, and human heads, crushed by pieces of arlil lery. A gloomy silence reigned amidst these 12 t" rums, only interrupted by the dying groans of the wounded, who, begrimed and covered with bleeding wounds, attempted with all their force to raise themselves. The most ferocious soul would have been moved by such a spec taciC; that of Bonaparte was not, though he could not help expressing his surprise at the fierceness with which they fought, and prais- ing the valour of those soldiers whom his folly iiad led oil to death. Tnis monster preceded by a tlay's march the corps d'armee in which Uaptiiin Labaume served, and caused every dung he touud in his ronle to be burned or destroyed. Thus the whole road was illuuii nated by the volumes of flame whicb burst i'ortli from the villages and towns set tire to. The danger mcreased when it became ueces sary for waggons laden with gunpowder to }>ass through these towns; and such was the misery of the army, that soldiers penetrated with the cold were often seen halting ou the ,II rums of these it)-viis, tii(i doWI) with pleasure on the still warm ashes of the housws which it ad been burnt the ui^iit before. 1'he .■^idlers in the traiu of HIHldparle," says M. Lahaiime, were so addicted to devastation, that they even set lire io the places where we were to halt; our corps in its turn, burnt the few houses that remained, and thus rendered Impomhlc for that ot lhe Prince (Jf lick .uuhl, winch formed the rear, to find either (.overti),- )r Thus Buonaparte was so blinded with fury, as to forget that his own troops must be the first victims of his un- bounded devastations. A the effects of hllner were felt the soldiers began to conceal themselves m order 10 devour in private their morsel of bread,— A terrible cold struck dead both men and horses; they were seen dying by thousands.— Tile atmosphere. wnich biinerlo had been clear aud hnHiant, was tilled with thick va pours; tiie winds blew with violence, and sent forth hideous noises from the midst of the d rep forests; drifts of snolV sweeping before the slorm blinded the soldiers. alld covered the whole wilicit now presented one uuilonu slIrtacewherc 110 road was distinguish- able. Nights the most frightful were stili disturbed by the roar of cannon which teheed through these vast solitudes. Not a single moment of repose could be reckoned upon the reiterated attacks of the Russians, and the hurrahs of the Cossarks, compelled the sol- diers to run to their arms every moment, and to pass the night upon the snow, where they were found frozen next morning. Were hope entertained of obtaining relief in a town, they marched in quest of it; but their eyes in vain looked for its domes and lofty towers; even its ashes dissipated by the wind, had disap- peared." On one occasion," says M. La- baume, we perceived a steeple which stood solitary amidst heaps of ruins, and its clock still strucis the hour when the town no longer existed." But the recital of our calamities does not close here. The French army arrived on the banks of the Beresina, at the very spot where Charles XII. crossed that river to march upon Moscow. The efforts of the enemy could not prevAit the construction of two bridges. In the mean time the troops were incessantly ad. vancing to its banks the crowds were so great that there was no longer room to move. The soldiers pale, exhausted, covered with sheep-skins, bloody and half burnt, threw themselves on the bank, uttering dismal cries; some in vain attempted to light fires, and re mained frozen close to the branches which j they could not kirclic they furiously tore from each other a rag of horse cloth or a few dried roots; they even refused each other a drop of water; they seated themselves coolly on the heaps of carcases which surrounded the fires. Bonaparte with the assistance of his 1 Guards, made his way through this immense rabbie. Soon the approach of night aug- mented those sufferings which seemed incapa- hie of addition. "Tiie darkness," says M. Labaume, was horrible the wind overspread our faces with an icy snow: the officers, to avoid being frozen, did nothing but run about, though overwhelmed with fatigue; the h i I is., the forests, presented only masses of a whitish line nothing was seen distinctly, but the destructive river, half-frozen, and whose black waters winding along were only visible I between the flakes of ice which covered the stream. A (though there were two bridges," says our author, one for carriages, and the other tor foot soldiers, yet the croNd was so great, ami the approaches so dangerous, that, on ai- ming near the Beresina, the men collected into a mass could no longer move. In spile of these dififculties, however, the infantry b dint of perseverance, were enabled to save themselves but, towards eight o'clock in the morning,the bridge that was rcs/rved being broken, the baggage waggons aud artillery advanced towards the other bridge, and at i tempted to force the passage; then a dreadful j struggle commenced hctwecnthe infantry and cavalry. Several perished in slaughtering one another; but a still greater number were smothered towards the head of the bridge, and the dead bodies of men and horses obstructed the avenues to such a degree, that in order to approach thenver it was neccssary 10 climb over mountains of dead. There were some wilostill breathed, and who, struggling against the horrors of death, in order to raise ifiein- selves, seized those'who climbed upon them bllt the laller, to disengage themselves, shook the former with violence, and trampled on them. During this conflict, the crowd, which followed like a furious wave, increased the number of victims- It was in the midst of this dreadful confusion that tiie cannon of the enemy was heard in a little time the summit of the neighbouring mountains was covered with Russian battalions, who fired incessantly- on this multitude condemned to death every one wished to pass the first, and the strongest drove the weakest into the water; the bag- gage waggons and cannons crushed the sick and wounded they precipitated themselves into the river; they made a passage with their swords, a fralllle rage took possessIOn ofthcm, and to increase the misery, the bridge having taken fire, the battalion were seen passing oil its burning beams, and either disappearing in the flames, or throwing themselves into the waves.

MISCELLANEOUS. The number of works published in Russia during five years, from 1801 to 1806, appears to have been 1304 Russian performances; in- cluding pamphlets, fugitive pieces, &c. of these 756- were origiuai works, aud 548 were trans- lations. The works on Theology were 213, of which 175 were originals.

Mr. Birnie was about to convict him iu the penalty game illegally, when Mr. Humphries, as attorney for the defendant, ob- jected to his doing so, unless there was a regu- lar information before iiioi. Mr. Biriiie tisen enquired of Dickons if he would swear to his belief that the prisoner had not come honcslly. by the hares, and the officer declaring his rea- diness to do-so, the worthy Magistrate told Mr Humphries he would save all further trouble, by committing the prisoner for re-examina- tion OH a charge of felony. Las! week were slaughtered at Wakefield, two sheep fed by Major Bower, and two fed by Mr. Parker, both residents near Maiton, the former two by Mr. Coldwell, the latter by Mr. Tengatt. The carcases of ihe former two weighed 333lb. and those of the latter 332!b. The history, if we may go-call it, of these four sheep is not a little singular. In 1813, the respective couples were shewn at Maiton fair, for the prize, as when the judges declined deciding which were entitled to the prize, and begged the owners to keep them till the following y et r. They were again ex- hibited as two shear sheep, and the judges again declined giving an' opinion oa t|ieir inerits, and recommended their being weighed. This was done, and the couple belonging to the Major exceeded their competitors only by 8ilb. The four sheep were afterwards bought by Mr. Dixon, near V\ akefieid, and sold to the respective persons by whom they were slaughtered, and they exhibit in their death a strong proof of the acuteaesss and accuracy of the Maiton judges.

A CHART OF C A RNA RVON BAR ANT.) HARBOUR. Directions for Ships and Vessels sailing into Car- navvoti Harbour, over the Bar, In order to facilitate the navigation of this liar- hour, two Buoys are placed on tbe Bar, the outer* one is painted black, and tlie inner red; a Perch is aho erected on the Bank, called the Muscle Bank. l.i.a nnow yn Point lies about 2 miles distance- from the black Buoy, (which is moored in the en- trance of the Bar, in about I:) feet water, at low- water, average spring tides) in a N. by E. direc- t Ion. DIN AS DINM.E lies from three, or from that to three and a liati miles distance from the black: Buoy, in a S. E. direction. The black Buoy lies about one mile distance from the red Buoy, in a S. W. by S. direction. The red Buoy lies about two, or from that to two and a quarter miles distance from the Perch, in a W. by N. direction. The Perch lies near one mite distance from Abermenai, in a west direc- tion, where ships and vesselsmay anchor in safety. Masters of vessels, drawing 12 feet water and upwards, should not (in a gale of wind) approach this Bar until four hours flood. All vessels coming in, should leave the Perch on the larboard hand. High water at full and change, at a quarttr af- ter nine o'clock-average spring tides rise and fall, on the Bar from 16 to IS feet—neap ditto from 0 to 8 feet. Expert Pilots may always be bad on making the proper signal. This Harbour has been lately considerably en- larged and improved, a great number of large ves- sets are built, here aiiiilially-it is a most conve- nicnt place for repairing of old vcssels-there is an extensive trade carried on in the exportatioa of states (of the best quality) and other articles, to most parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and consists of convenient quays and wharfs, for the reception and safety of ships and vessels loading and unloading, or lying within the limits of this port. The Trustees of this Harbour have expende(I from four to live hundred pounds in blasting some of the rocks at the Swillies, to low water mark. which has rendered a most free passage for ships and vessels of large burthen, coming from the eastward to this Harbour, or sailing through the Straits of Menai. „ (1::Jr The north and south banks of fhis Bar are subject to shift—when they do shift, or the Buoys part from their moorings, proper care will be taken to moor Buoys in the deep, as at present, and the true bearings, distances, &e. of them, in- serted in this paper BANGOR: Printed and Published by J.
