By the above arrival, we have received
a Lisbon paper of the 31st July, which con
tains the following particulars of an action
fought on the Coo, a email river in front of
the advanced corps of the English army.—
At a bridge on that river, General Craw
ford was intrenched with between 4 and
/ 5000 troops, with a few puces of artillery,
and two howitzers. On the 24th July, were
attacked by General Loison. with between
6 and 7000 men. The attack was made
with great fory, and repulsed with equal
constancy. The French thence passed the
bridge; and were thrice repulsed at the
point the bayonet, (erase Oonee.J The
lorn of the French was between 7 and 800;
that of the English and Portuguese 977
rank aad file, and 25 officers. The allies
► took several prisoners, and many of the
French deserted. The Lisbon paper con
eafae many exhilirating remarks on this re
pulse of the enemy. They add, that the
great object of the movements and opera
tions of the French army, is to cot off the
advanced corps of the allied army under

account of any army operation, than the

One of the members of Congress, from
Vermont, seriously declared some time ago,
that Bonaparte was authorised in what he
does by the Bible, and that it would be our
own fault if he treated us ill. It has been
the steady object of many of his agents
among us, to impress the belief that Bona

murders, violations, rapine and
By ascribing to him this supernatural po

they hope to discourage patriotism and p*» -

Mr. Geryy, the democratick Governour of
Massachusetts, has rendered himself con
spicuous in propagating this prejudice
with what view is known best to bis own
conscience. A sentiment of this nature,
incorporated in his speech Io the Legisla
ture, having given umbrage, his* friends
have vied with each other in justifying him,
against the reproaches of the federalists,

Captain Tucker, 44 days from Bayonne,
with several passengers. Captain T. was
captured and carried into Bayonne, where
he compromised with his captors, and re
ceived half the proceeds of his cargo, about
14000 dollars ; he was permitted to take
Wines and Brandy, but through fear of
capture by the British, bought bills on Lon
don at 15 per cent, discount. A number of
other Americuns at Bayonne and St. de
Leu is, had also compromised, and were to
sail soon ; schooner John, of Marblehead,
had sold her cargo of green fish, for 16 dol
lars per quintal at Bourdeaux, after which
it was sequestered, but expected to be re
leased ; three vessels from Marblehead,
which cleared for Gijon, had been condemn
ed, vessels and pargoes ; a New-York brig
had sold her cargo for 86,000 dollars t but
was obliged to give up half the proceeds of
sale; The Two Brothers, Dlxey, having
compromised with the French government,
in the name way, by giving up half the
proceeds of sale, was to return in 7 days.
Captain T. also advises, that it had been
reported, that General Armstrong had ef
fected an accommodation with the French
government j and that the report was so
far confirmed tpe day he sailed, that it was
generally believed.
A Berlin paper contains the following
anecdote There is in Russia a society
established for the purpose of promoting
Rural Economy; to this society the famous
dramatist, Kotzebue, is secretary. In or
der to promote the objects of the institution,
the society had procured a number of new
instruments of agriculture from England.—
The vessel that was carrying them to Rus
sia fell Into the hands of the British fleet,
and was declared a good prize. Kotzebue
being informed thereof, wrote to Admiral
Saumarez on the subject. He stated that
thq instruments were private property—
that they were purchased to sub-.*erve the
interests of humanity, by spreading the
knowledge of useful inventions. That he
was the authour of many pieces which had
been well received on the London Theatre,
and he hoped on this account, as well as
ihe known liberality of the English, the in
struments would be restored.
The Admiral Immediately ordered them
to be given up, and accompanied them with
a letter to Kotzebue, in whirh he expressed
great pleasure in restoring them, as he
thereby had an opportunity of paying a debt
for his nation in a manner which he had
not expected ; and was enabled to testify
the thanks of his countrymen for the pieces
with which Koteebue had enriched the
Bi itish Theatre. . J/£fem»>fiArrf.

IMPORTANT.
Our nation has been led la a wrung and
fatal track, and is plunged at last into a
labyrinth of difficulties. Nor is there any
other way of escaping ruin, but to retrace
its steps. It must return tn the honest
magnanimous policy of Washington ; else
it is lost. This truth is made so clear by
woeful experience that all must see it, un
less wilfully blind. All intelligent and Well
informed men; of both parties, do see it—
But with many,” Acre's Me rub.” A change
of policy would be a tack confession of er
rour. It would wound the pride of opinion.
It would weaken the predominant party—
It would gratify federalists. Perchance it
might put power in their hands. This they
are determined to oppose 'with all their
might, let what Will coni?." Like the false
mother, they would rather slay jhtf child,
than restore it to the right owner.
What a spirit! To prefer the general
good to the interests of individuals or of
party, is the great hinge of political virtue.
Nothing short of this deserves the name of
patriotism, Its opposite with whatever
specious it ma/$e covered is the
genuine sph it of faction r'pnd faction in a
republick is the mother a despotism.

A London paper states that it is report

Napoleon is undoubtedly medicating the
erection of many tributary kingdoms on

to send a few Kings in advance. Louis,
