tvloyed under his command. His character, ever ! inclined to accusation, soon raised him numerous . cryonics. Ile avowed himself the accuser of the Generals and administrations of the army, in a memoir he transmitted to the Emperor, under date of the 23d of Frimaire, year 13. The cry of in dignatioa which was raised against him deprived him of the courage of supporti publicly the part he had undertaken, and raised such a storm against him, that he saw himself actin, for the se. cond time, obliged to revest leave to resign. He was nevertheless retained in his post ; and made, Nto ith that part of the army, the campaigns of the • yea' 1806. " Sat:se disputes which he had with Gen. lieu. delet, in %Otos.: division he served, obliged the Government to recall him to France. • " On the 31st of October, 1806,. he was eta. played in the 2itli military division, under the or. tiers of Getwral Chambiilhac, who confided to him the command of Vie department of the Lys. The misunderstanding which soon took place be tween the Prefect and him, evinced the necessity of giving him another destination, and lie was seat to the isle of Cadsand. . hits conduct, conti %malty extravagant, and his arbitrary proceedings, incensed against him the inhabitants, the authori ties, and G ,neral Chanthailliac. The complaints which reached Government induced it to again change his residence, and he received letters of Ser vice for the 16th Military Division. ' 4 Ile served in this division from the 11th of February 1809, and had the happiness to live there in excellent harmony with both his superiors and subalterns, till, by the most disgraceful desertion, he imprinted a most indelible opprobrium on his Immo. 4 ' Such is the history of General Sarrazin, which, to speak properly, is only that of the cx. trasegance of his mind, the errors of his character, and his Numerous absurdities. " The Duke de FELTRI, Mioi*ter at War." PARIS, JULY 2.—The fete given by the Prince of Schwarzett berg took place yesterday, at which the Emperor and Empress were present. They arrived at ten o'clock. The garden was illumi. hated with much taste. It presented different views of the country which the Empress inhabited in her infancy. The opera-dancers executed the dances, dressed in the costumes of the different people of the Austrian monarchy. This part of the fete was followed by uncommonly flue fire works. Twelve hundred people were invited. in order to receive so large a party, the Prince, according to the usual custom adopted at Paris, bad caused to be erected, with planks of timber, a ballroom, ornamented with pictures of gauze, muslin, and other light stuffs. This saloon offer. ed a very fine coup d'oeil. The Queen of Naples opened the ball with Prince Estherhazy, and was followed by the Viceroy and Princess Paullae 'of Schwarzeoberg, wife of the eldest brother of the Ambassador. After the cotillous, a Scotch reel was d iticed, during which their NI iljesties arose to snake II tour of the circle, and speak to the ladies. 'The Empress had relented to her arm.chair, and the Em. peror was at the other extremity of the saloon, near the Princes Pauline of Sell warzeuberg, who had pre smiled beer daughters to him, when the flame, of a wax candle caught the drapery of a window cur. tale. Count Dumanoir,"Chamberleito of the Em peror, and many other officers who were near him, endeavoured to tear off the curtains, but the flames got higher. They immediately informed the. Emperor, who hail but time to go to the arm chair of the Einpress, wlwo he was instantly surrounded by the A onbassAJor gotta officer& of tit: Austrian Legation, who persuaded him to ptit the place. The fire extended itself with the rapiJ;:y of lightning; and his Majesty slow. ly retired with the Empress, recent:pending calmness, in order to prevent all disorder. The openings from the ballroom _ fortunately i being very capacious, the crowd could easily get into the garden ; bat many mothers lust much time in searching for their daughters, from whom they hall been separated by the Scotch reel, and many young persons in endeavouring to fiutl their mothers. The rapidity of the fire was so great, that the Qacen of Naples, whet followed ito the suite of the Emperor, having fallen, was only 'saved through the presence of mind of the Grand Duke of Wurtzhurg. ThteQueen of Westphalia leas conducted from the saloon by the King of Westphalia ant/ Count Metternich. The Viceroy, who remained at the bottom of the ball-room, mid who feared to mix in the crowd with the Vice-Queen, perceived that the fall of the lustros and ceiling interrupted the passage. lie fortunately, remarked a small door which led to the atom 'moots of the hotel, by which he got out.' Happily no body has perished ; some 2O ladies have been more or less wounded. Thu Princess Layens, wife of the Russian Consul, as well as the Ladies of General Baron Tousand and the Prefect of Istria, have, eith er in consequence of being ‘,42;: ti with terror, or stopped in their getting ut by some obstacle, been grievously hurt. Prince urakin, the Russian Ambassador, hail the this. fortune to fall upon the steps which lead from the ballroom to the garden ; they were Owe tell fire ; be ;was for a moment insensible. Two Ofileera of the Austrian Legation and two Officers of the Im perial Guard saved him. lie keeps his bed, and is in considerable pain. The garden, extensive and well lighted, presented during half an hour, the spectacle of husbands calling for their wives, of wives calling upon their husbands and children ; and who, the moment they found each other, em braced with transport, as if a long absence had separated them. Thu Emperor and Empress got into a carriage at the garden gate. When the Ent peror found his country equipages which waited for him at the Elysian fields, and had placed the Empress in one of them, he returted to Prince Schwarzetilierg, attended by an Aide.de-camp. Princess Pauline Schearaenberg was amen the last who remained its the ball-room. Silo held one of be; daughters by the hand. A piece of burn ing wood fell upon this young person, which a man who was near her took up and carried out of the saloon. She was herself hurried into the gu t den. No longer Reit% her daughter, she ran every where, calling her with great lamentations. 4olev. . LONDON: FRIDAY, JULY JULY 13, 1810. Tuts morning we received French Papers to the sth instant, and Dutch to the Bth. We have given the principal articles of intelligence they contain. French troops, commanded by the Duke of REGGIO, have entered Amsterdam.— They are stated to have been perfectly well re- I ceived, and the city of Amsterdam is said to be all tranquillity. The King of WESTPUALIA has issued orders to the Government of Hanover, not 'to permit the inhabitants of that duchy to leave the country without passports i and the avowed reason le, the great numbers who emigrate to foreign coon. ' tries, especially to England. The Prefect of the Department of the Adige, in Italy, has issued a proclamation to the inhabitants, praising them for their good conduct, and their attachment to the Emperor NAPOLEON. The war between the Russians and Turks seems likely to proceed ; but the Russian Generals, it appears, are still in want of reitiforcements to enable them to under. take the several objects they have in contem. illation. —......- .. - Ova Readers will find nit affecting account of -a most unexpected accident, by fire, at Paris, which happened at a fête given by.tho Austrian Ambassador, the Prince of gCIIWARTZENSERG. Tho fate of the Princess PAULINE ii extremely interostink, both front the feeling which gave rise to it, and the unfortunate mistake which excited that amiable and exalted feeling. Sho was thetno flier of eight children, and far advanced in her pregnancy, which circumstances will add greatly to the interest which all take in this melancholy accident. The report respecting the adoption of some very vigorous regulations by the French Government, against the very limited personal intercourse that subsists between that country and this, is confirm ed by letters of the 4th iust. received yesterday from Paris. They alio communicate the following ciplana. tion of the Decree lately passed, respecting mari time trade : IMPERIAL DRCISION dr TUE 20 WI JULY. 4 ' The prohibition of groin (estahli.hed by the Decree of the 22J of Jaw) from the island oltichowen to L'Orient, ex tends itself also to vessels provided with licences.

After searching fot a quarter of ate hour, impelled by the heroism of niaternal love, she entered the burning saloon, from which inom - ent we know not know nut what has become'uf her. The 'fire was then got under, and the Ambassador's hotel preserved, and tran qt.iliity re-established. Prince Joseph Schwarzenberg was engaged all . the night in search of his wife, who was 'dot to be found either at her brother's,. the Ambassador, or at M. de Iletternich's. lie was doubtful of his misfurtune till the day broke, when a disfigured corpse was found near the saloon, which Dr. Gall thought to be that of the Princess Schwanene berg. It remained no longer doubtful when her diamonds, and the medallion of her children, which she wore suspeuded from her neck, were ex. emitted. Princess Pdulino Schwarzeaberg was laugh. ter of the Senator Aremberg ; she was mother of eight children, and four months advanced in preg nancy ; she was as much distinguished for the graces of her person, as by the excellent qualities of her mind and heart. The affectionate act which dust her her life, proves how she deserves to be regretted, for death was most evident.-- The ihitivs were most terrific • none but a mother could have faced such d anger.l Appre hensions are entertained for the life of the Princess de la Lam, wife of the Russian Consul; also fur that of the Baroness 'fousard.

The officers of his legation, and of his nation gave signal proofs of their courage and de votedness; the public expressed great admiration at seeing the Ambassador accompany the Emperor and Empress to their carriages, forgetting the danger to which his own family were exposed. The Emperor retired at three o'clock in the morning. He sent several times during the night to enquire the fete of the Princess Pauline Schwar zenberg, which remained uncertain. At five o'clock in the 'waning. he received the account of her death. His Majesty, who had a particular esteem for this Princes, regrets her loss extreme ly.—Her Majesty, the Empress, exhibited the greatest calmness during the whole of the even. ing; but on hearing this morning of the death of the Princess, she shed abundance of tears. UNITED STATES. CALL OF THE CONGRESS. NEW YOUR, JUNE 13.--A rumour of this event is getting into circulation in the different Pa pers, on what authority we know not, though we think the fact by no means improbable. The Baltimore Inig-says : " We have been in formed that the John Adams is expected to bring such news from Europe, as will require an inime. diate call of the Congress by Proclamation, and that it is the intention of the President to convene them, in case of public exigence." The Pencral licpublican also remarks A friend from Washington informs, that it was con_ fidently stated that Congress would be convened in July ; that it was understood Mr. Pitilency would be recalled ; and that nu hopes were eMertained of averting °pest hostilities with France."

The island has been torn to pieces by two Chiefs, Petion and Christophe ; the former contending for a representative goveromost,„..atd the latter for ab. sante power over the public will. A Government by representation, with a Presi. dent in imitation of ours, was contemplated, and Christophe was elected Chief Magistrate; but as nothing short 9f serf dominion would content him, he rejected the offer at the head of his troops, and assumed the character and arrogated the powers 1 of a Monarch. . lietce arose, six years . ago, the hostilities which hard ever since been carried on between the two Chiefs. The island is pretty equally divided between them. Christophe pos. sesses all north of St. Mark, while Potion main tains the south. Their land and naval forces are I equal, each having 15,000 troops, and.eight ships, ! mounting from 16 to 28 gees, of 24 and 32 pounders.

PUILADELPIIIA, JUNE 10.—A Gentleman, who arrived at. the Lazaretto, in the schooner FOVOU. rite, from, Laguria, writes me that every thing remained perfectly quiet, and that the Council had addressed a letter t& the Regency at Cadiz on the subject of the Revolution, which concludes by observing, " that whenever their Sovereign is reinstated, And Spain restored to tranquillity, thy will be amongst the 6rst to declare thtir lay. alty." • New-Irons, JUNE 12.—The speech delivered in the Senate by the Governor of Massachusets on the 7th of June has been published. In speaking of the Belligerents, the Governor says. — France has charged Great Britain with the establishmeot of a despotic commercial monopoly, anti has viewed her own conduct as the meritorious effect of a magnanknous volunteer in a common cause. The King of Great Britain, in return, has charged k ranre with the fabrication of this, as a pretest to ro ver her deep designs of universal domination. By their vi brating conduct towards its. these mighty belligerents have proved that both are in the right and both in the wrong; and the United State% ever careful to offend neither ' 'have with uniform solicitude cultivated the friendship of each. Mav their laudable endeavours be crioned %y ids merited success l France, previously to her war, for a tittles of sears trembled at the rod of mighty Britain ; unparalleled events have re versed the scene, and France now threatens , the overthrow of her great energy. Napoleon , _ that great arbiter of the east, is a most formidable foe. Hltt equal is not to be found in the wails of men. Other Monarchs have been se ) led great; but as a Statesman mut 'Warrior, he is super-eminent ; he is a prodigy of human nature ; he 13 viewed by his epe mies as a comet of the first magnitude, and, at a distance, they admire the awful grandeur of both—but- the approach of either they dread.—Thus unhappily circumstanced is Great Britain, and she thinks her safety lies only nt war: She conceives that by a peace her great and only national safeguard, her Navy, must be dismantled, and her numerous tareign seamen will return with joy to their Dative shores. Oa the part of the United States, good policy will therefore look forward to the probable continuance of war, in the par ' ticiwition of which they have been anti will . coilinue to be in danger. The g reat and g ood Ad bias. with his capacious mind and extensive influence, follows the bright example of the father and friend of his country, to preserve that inesti mable blessing.
