* Lisbon, July 29.
««A skirmiah has taken place on the fron
tiers, where an active war to about* com
mencing. General Crawford, (a desperate
partisan officer,*) has lately lost some valua
ble officers and men, In an attack he made
with his cavalry on a solid body of French
infantry- Since then be has had an affair
• Of more importance. |t appears he had it
, in otters from Lord Wellington not to risk
the loss of many men in any contest against
supsriour numbers; but to fall back on the
msie army. This he refused to do; and
has been attacked by a superiour force, has
receipt of telegraph ick accounts of the
fighting being continued on the 29th July;
and that a general battle was expected.—
The Mat accounts wrt be highly jdte
testing.
• Has been received at Washington. He
is Secretary of Legation, and acting as
Charge des Aff>ircy oatU a Minister arrives
from Eagtond. It is stated « the gov
ernment paper, somewhat excitingly, that
King Geotge had himself written the let
ter which announced the recall of Mr.
Jackson to President Madison. The re
marks of the Intelligencer on this subject,
though •• usual coloured with cabinet lit
tleness, are more conciliatory than other
wise.
Captain Davis, from Lisbon, has furnish
ed the diaries of that city to the last dsy
of July.
I The late war reports from England are |
efiectoally falsified.
Active warfare appeared to have com
menced on the frontier of Portugal (about
170 miles from Lisbon) between tbs armies
under Lord Wellington and Prince Mas
sena Several smart rencounters had takeh
place between the flying corps of those ar
mies, commanded by General Crawford
and General Loison. On the 24th Loison
attacked Crawford, at a telt-dt fionl on
the Cos, not far from Almeida. The ac
tion was warm ; and the Portuguese ga
zette accounts stated that the Preach went
compelled to retire, with the loss* of 700
men; but cur letters from LMbaa say the
allies Were obliged to retreat; and that
the* consequence was, Almeida, which is on
th* bank of the river nearest Spain, had
been invested. Our last letters state the
|Mt 900 men and 25 officer*, and compelled
retreat. [This last particular it con
tradicled by the Lisbon fiafier tf the SUt,
which states that the French retreated.]
After this step, Lord Wellington made
retry peepnrrtioa against an attack on his
head-qnarttrs. Letters from the army say
that Masaeha will exert all his force in an

'll 'must idford peculiar pleasure to the
inteabitanti ef this town,' and no common
satisfaction to the publick io geooral, to be
Mat med, that the committee, appointed by
this town to employ a suitable person to
inoculate with the Cow-Pox, at the ex
pense of the town, such of its inhabitants,
as were desirous of securing themselves
against the Small- Pox, which has proved
fatal to somany milUone of the human race,
have reported that they employed Mr. Syl.
vamus Famsmkk, an experienced Van*
cine Inoculator, who commenced the ino
culation the first of July, and continued it.
at such times and places as the committee
directed, for six weeks, in which time, he
inoculated four thousand three hundred
and five inhabitants of this town, and re
peatedly examined most of them, of which
number three hundred and twenty-one
stere blanks, and three hundred ana righ
ty-two had been previously vaccinated, and
were in this way tetted The names of all
inoculated were entered, ia the order in
which they were inoculated, in a book for
that purpose, which has been deposited
among the records in the office of the Town-
Clerk. Throughout the whole business of
inoculation and examination, the assiduity
and attention of Mr. Fansmkk were such,
as merited and received the entire appro
bation of the committee. It is to this gen
tleman the publick are much indebted for
some important discoveries and improve
ments, respecting this taft and tore fire
ventative against the Small-Pox i among
the moot important of which, is that of a
preparation of the matter, by which its
vfhtt may bo retained and preserved for
years in any clime, and transported unin
jured to anyjdistant country. The instru
ment, with which Mr. Fansmxx makes
the incission in the arm, for the insertion
of the virus, is of his own invention, and so
constructed, that be operates almost im
perceptibly to the patient, and with such
facility, that he has been known to inocu
late in about eight hourt, eight hundred
and fifty fieri one, and most of them In both
arms. Mr. Fawshxx has been (fogaged
in Vaccination for more than eight years,
and from his great practical experience, is
perhaps better enabled to distinguish the
genuine from the efiurioue disease, which
is the greatest difficulty in this business,
than any other Vaccine Inoculator in the
United States. It is with pleasure we hear,
that th» town# Newport has engaged Mr.

work of btnruolence.
Democracy, if possible, is ten times more
bitter than she was before her late defeat.
Chagrined and disappointed m well by
the result of the election of the State Re
presentatives, as those to Congress, her vo
taries know not on whom to vent their abuse
and malice. Some lay it to their candi
dates, saying that Brown was notoriously
unfit for the office, and would never have
been set up, had It not been for the influ
ence of the .Aldrich faction,- In this there
is much truth. That he was unfit, ail ac
knowledge. His friends, however, say, that
had he and Hazard been elected, Ha
zard could have talked and told Brown
which way to vote, and he would have fol
lowed without any hesitation. Of coarse he
would have been as good a silent member
as any one. Now, what would that have
been but, in effect, having but one Repre
sentative ? We should have had the deli
beration of but one, the eloquence of but
one, and the judgement of but one i and
Brown in every respect would have been
the tool of Hazard.
Others say that JamKs Aldrich has
grown so unpopular and offensive to the
good people that they are so much disgust
ed with hie having been aa in/ettiuc Direc
tor in the Glocester Bank, under the pay of
Andrew Dexter,jun. at the rate of one
dollar per day, until that Bank had im
posed more than three hundred thousand
dollars of their ttuff upon the publick, that
many of the more honest part of the de
mocrats will not vote for that party who
support him. A democrat, the other day,
said, publickly, that more than forty de
mocrats attending the town-meeting of Glo
cester, and hearing that Aldrich was re
elected a Representative from Scituate,
declared they would not vote for the de
mocratick ticket so long as they supported
such men as lambs Aldrich. We do
not apologize for Aldrich. That man is
known to aa and will hear something of the
property which be accumulated by the
Gloceater Bank. It is somewhere said that
the expeditions of the WICKED ARE
VAIN, and the boaoter is a Cool.
A strange calculation is made to show
that democracy gains votaries in this town.
Surely she ought when that pattern of all
ojccellencc, David Howrll, L L. D. sets
himself up as a writer of morality and po
liticks. At no time was there ever so large
a majority of federalists in this town as now.

“ The French government having re
fused to General Armstrong, any one of
the sequestered American vessels to carry
home their crews, the ship Ann - was char
tered by Mr. Cee, Consul at Bourdeaux
for this purpose; the day before she sailed
aa order srae-roceived nt the PeMceCMtee
of Baycune, to pre ventali foreigners from
leaving France, without special permis
sion from the Minister of Police at FarisJ
the Ann being nearly ready for sea, fortu
nately got under way . before this order
could be carried into effect at St. Jean de
Lus.
" His Imperial Majesty appears to be
much incensed at the late account from
America. As soon as the report of the re
peal of the Non-Intercourse Law reached
Paris, the Duke of Cadqre addressed a note
to General Armstrong, marked with an
unusual degree of anxiety to have ascer
tained the fact of the repeal, and a few
days afterwards the American cargoes se
questered in Spain, wore advertised to be
sold at auction on the Ist of August; those
seised in Holland and the North of France
were sold at Antwerp in June. The probr
able amount of proceeds would exceed
Eight Millions of dollars, ;
“ A letter from the Advocate-General
of the Customs at Paris,, stated, the Em
perour had decreed on the 26th of June,
that the compromised vessels who had re
' surned the American should be re
sequestered; several wept oh the point of
sailing in ballast, not befog permitted to
take cargoes on board.
It was generally believed that Sweden
and Denmark would bpcome <*» e sovereign
ty under the present Danish monarch; and
that Holstein, Sleswlg and 7 perhaps Swe
dish Pomerania would be ceded to France.
“Cotton had risen thirty sob per lb. in
consequence of an Intended'prohibition of
chat article; and colonial produce had aug
mented considerably, at all hope of any re
laxations in favour of commerce was ex
tinct.”
[Some parts of this intelligence are con
tradicted by the late arrival from Bayonne,
18 days after the departure of the Ann,
the Spring Bird left the port of Bayonne,
with the permission of the government; at
which time, the American property com
promised for, had not been re- sequestered.]
