Madrid have several times attempted
to extricate themselves from the op
pression of the French in that city ;
but owing to the enemy's force being
very great, without any kind of success.

by no means subdued.
The brave General O'Donnel part

PARIS, JUNE 2, 1810.
,; Distressing Fire.
Yesterday the Austrian Ambassador;
PrinceSchwarzenburg gave agrand fete,
at which the Emperor, Empress, and
all the Imperial and Royal personages
were invited. Twelve hundred assem
bled, to accommodate whom the Prince
caused a temporary ball room to be
erected in his garden, which was cov
cred with gauze, muslin and other light
stuffs. During the dancing of a Scotch
reei, when the Emperor and Empress
were at different parts of the saloon,
the drapery of a window curtain near,
the Emperor took fire from a candle.
Many of the attending officers endeav
ored to tear off the curtain, but the
fames ascended sp,apidly as to be in
stantly out o^feach. The Emperor
immediately went, to the Empress who
was in g ch^ir, where they were sur
roundrffrith the Austrian and other
.Ambassadors, &c. acquainted of their
danger, and- requested to retire; which
|be<Emperor ditl'stowly, recommend
ing calmness to prevent disorder. The
fire spread liki^lightning ; but the av
enues were numerous, and the compa
ny easily escaped into the garden.
The separation, however, of mothers
from their daughters, who weredancing,
occasioned a scene of great distress and
• inquiry. The fire was so rapid, that
the Queen of Naples having fallen, was
only saved by the presence of mind of
the Grand Duke of Wartzburg. The
Queen of Westphalia was carried
from the saloon by the King and Count
Metternich. The Viceroy of Italy,
with the Vicequeen, perceiving the fall
of the lustres and ceilings, escaped by a
back door into the hotel. The Prince
Karakin, the Russian Minister, the
Ladies of the Russian Consul, Baron
Tousajd, and the Prefect of Istria were
injured by falls.

GREAT-BRITAIN.
LONDON, JULY 9.
Sweden is torn to pieces by intestine
evils. The Marshal of the kingdom
has fallen a sacrifice to the vengeance
of the populace, on a supposition that
he abetted the intrigues of France, to
place the country under the dominion
of Denmark, as the Swedes have the
most rooted hatred for the Danes,
\ which nothing can eradicate. The
general opihion is, that Bonaparte
wishes to consolidate the two king,
doms under one Crown, and after the
odious business is accomplished, he
will place Louis Bonaparte or some
other of his family on the throne, as
his great object is to have the com.
mand of the sound. , Our Ministers
foreseeing that such is his object, will
cause, it is said, a great blow to be
struck in the north of Europe, in the
course of the summer, as Bonaparte
has his eye upon the Swedish fleet..
Another revolution is expected in
Sweden, but no revolution can rescue
that unfortunate country from his fangs.
The destiny of Holland is fixed, and
it Is now doomed to be governed by
the military myrmidons of the French
chief, to whom, however, the people
are expected to give unavailing resist
ance. A storm is gathering over the
Turkish Empire, and expectations are
entertained in the French Journals,
that the present government will
speedily be overthrown.
The Princess Pauline Schwarzen
burg (sister-in-law of the Austrian
Ambassador) lost her life. She was
among the last who remained in the
ball room, and was leading one of her
daughters out, when a piece of burn
ing wood fell on her daughter, which
a man took up and threw away.—ln
the confusion, the Princess was hurri
ed into the garden ; missing herd^ugh
ter, slie flew in search of her, and he
roicaly entered the burning saloon,
where she perished, and was found the
next morning greatly disfigured, being
known by her diamonds and the me
dallion of her children, which she wore
on her neck. Her husband had been
in search of her all night. She was a
French woman, daughter of the Sena
tor Aremberg, the mother of eight
children, and four months advanced in
pregnancy.
17 sail of the line, four of which were
three deckers & carrying Admirals flags,
& apparently ready for sea. Sir C. Cot
ton,had in consequence, dispatched or
ders to Minorca,&c.for the reassemble
ment of his fleet, and during some days
before the close of our letters, all our
ships were kept clear for action.
The Unity, Voluntaire, & Alacrity
were chased off Toulon by two sail
of the line and a frigate ; but it blew
hard at the time, and the enemy soon
returned to port, followed by our
vessels, which greatly outsailed them.
The Emperor Napoleon has refused
to confirm the resignation of his broth
er Louis in favour of his nephew Na
poleon Louis ; the latter, he says,
being already Duke of Berg and Clenes
is provided for.
The Ex-King Louis is with his
brother Jerome, in Westphalia.
The Ex-Queen of ilolland—the
daughter of the Empress Josephine, &
recently the favourite of Napoleon, is
very sick at Piombiers. Since the
marriage alliance , with the Austrian
Princess, poor Hortense Eugenie is
out of favour with Napoleon ; & it is
strongly suspected that the heart-ache is
not the only malady he has by proxy
administered to her. [lt is reported
from Heligoland that she is since
dead.-]
Lc Brun is to direct the affairs of
Holland, after the Ist January, 1811,
to which period all the taxes, &c. are
to be continued. The measure of the
consolidation was preceeded by a long
and able note from Champagny, Duke
of Cadore ; who says, " The annex
ation of Ilolland to France is the nec
essary consequence of the union of
Belgium.—lt completes your Maj
esty's empire, as well as the execution
of your system of war politics, and
trade. It is the first, but a necessary
step towards the restoration of y"our
navy ; in fact, it is the heaviest blow
which yodr Majesty could inflict upon
England."
Bonaparte is again makin, every
preparation in his power to lit out a
large naval force, from the several ports
of France and Holland, and is supposed
to calculate on the aid of Russia, Swe
den, and Denmark.
The Queen Regent of Holland has
not assumed her authority. With this
unfortunate woman, her brother, the
abandoned despot o£ Europe, had long
indulged in an incestuous intercourse ;
and for this purpose she was kept near
him and absent from her husband. But
since the Emperor's last marriage, she
has been forbidden his presence ; had
gone to Plombiers, where report says,
she died suddenly.
An important battle is reported to
have taken place between the Russians
and Turks, terminating in the defea,t
of the latter. It is certain, say the
English papers, that Turkish couriers
have arrived in Paris, and it was sup
posed for the purpose for soliciting
the mediation of the Emperonr ! !

Early yesterday morning arrived in
this port, the ship Lothair, Captain
Russel Glover, in 34 days from Liv
erpool, having London papers to the
28th of July, and Liverpool, to the
30th.
It had been circulated & generally be
lieved, that a general engagement had
taken place between the British and
Portuguese armies and the army of
Massena ; in which the former were
unsuccessful, and Lord Wellington
killed. The dews was said to have
been received in a letter ; but the lat
est Courier contains a positive denial
of any such letter, by the person to
whom it was said to be addressed ; &
adds that Government has no intel
ligence of any such event.

It will be seen, says the N. H. Pat
riot, by the returns published, that
nearly one fifth of the electors omitted
their attendance on the day of election,
and that the proportion of loss is a
gainst the republicans; as it respects
the first assertion, no one wilt deny its
correctness, but so far from the genuine
republicans being the greatest suffer
ers, we are happy to assure our friends
that they will be completely successful,
Mr. Hill's opinion to the contrary
notwithstanding.
That there has been a radical change
in some towns, in favour of true re
publicanism may be proved by the
votes of Portsmouth, Greenland, and
several others.
With Mr. Hill, we deprecate the
undue influence of an " unprincipled
minority" which "by its superior ac
tivity" has so frequently thrown the
influence of New-Hampshire, into the
scale of a corrupt administration ; we
now are reaping the fruits of our own
negligence^ by having the gubernatorial
chair filled by a man, (whatever may
have been his qualifications for the
office) now disqualified by age from
performing its duties, leaving the exer
cise of the power vested in the Chief
Magistrate, too subject to the controul
of a few selfish friends, whose only
aim is personal aggrandisement.
"In accounting for the relative dim
inution," says the Patriot, " we mist
ascribe it to the unfortunate season
that the election took place, -and to the
mean, unprincipled, and corrupt wiles
of the British advocates, to impose on
the honest part of the federal party,'
which out of four Congressional elec
tions, have secured them three;" the
editor of the Patriot must have an ex
alted idea of the " honest part of the
federal party" if he conceives them
capable of persisting, so long in a
gross error, notwithstanding all the
elaborate exertions of Epping's Cato,
and other geniuses equally resplendent
to remove the pretended veil.
" The day of the present, was still
more unfortunate, than at any preced
ing election: the extreme wet season
had prevented the farmers from secur
ing their hay."
We cannot believe Mr. Hill serious
when he gives this as a reason why 50
Aware that an appealand an adher
ence to facts, would, at once, seal their
lips in eternal silence ; they have, on
these occasions, recourse to their usual
shuffling.—Bidwell, it is true, say they,
is an abandoned wretch ; but Bidwell,
some sixteen or eighteen years ago,
was a federalist.—Admit the fact—So
were the great body of American citi
zens, except Jefferson, and a few Vir
ginian Nabobs, who organized an op
position to the politics of Washington,
those politics which gave form and con
sistency to the chaotic mass of. gov
ernmental materials, which were, dis
connectedly, floating through the coun
try at the close of our revolutionary
struggle ; thwarted and counteracted
his plans and opposed his principles ;
held forth a language official and a
language confidential ; and finally e
rected, on the ruins of the wise and en
ergetic plans of their predecessors, the
fabric of their own blundering zigzag
policy of time serving expedients.—
At that time, to have been a federalist
was no uncommon thing.—But times
were approaching calculated to try
men's souls—times calculated to separ
ate the chaff from the wheat ; the dross
from they?ne gold. —Bidwell of course
could not stand the trial. Hi^ sordid
mercenary mind had no affinity with
honesty and integrity —" He fled to
an union with kindred Souls." Like
Lucifer he fell and his fall from every
thing upright, honest or honorable was
the signal for the promotion with those
of his own ' feather.' He was accord
ingly promoted—he was the idol of his
party —the backstairs counsellor and
confidential adviser of Mr. Jefferson
and secret manager of" his Majesty's
House of Commons." His villany is
now detected and exposed, and he is
denounced and anathematized ; not be
caus^ lie is a villain; for that must
have beeri long known to his friends
and supporters ; but because he is now
publickly known to be so. Such
straws however as these cannot save
their sip king cause in New-England.—
Where information abounds, Democra
cy must hide her head in " confusion,
shame and despair."
" Philo's'' laborious productions in
the N. IL Patriot designate influence
the Corigressional Election have ope
rated wonderfully in favor of the
Washington Ticket. The character &
principles of the reputed author have
become a matter of such public noto
fete democratic votes w6re given. Are
a larger proportion of the democrats
farmers? Are they better husband
men ? Or do they pay greater atten
tion to their business, than the fede
ralists? these are very natural ques--
tions, and we conceive not irrelative
to the subject, but we believe every
candid man must admit that these :
questions cannot be answered in the
affirmative.
" The federal relative increase, may
be justly ascribed to their greater
number of those who do not labour
with their hands to procure a liveli
hood—to their having more lawyers,
merchants, professional men,and idlers
than the" (self styled) " republicans."
There is too much conveyed in this
paragraph, to be fully discussed at this
time, but it is with sincere pleasure,
we acknowledgers federalists the most
eminent sons of science, the noblest
patrons of commerce, and if by "pro
fessional men" the Patriot means the
ministers of the Saviour of mankind,
we admit the charge, and consider the
implied reproach a blessing.
To the religious man, what circum
stance could be more convincing of the
rectitude of federal men and principles,
than to behold them almost universal
ly supported by " the holy men of
God ;'? and what greater proof of the
corrupt principles of the democrats,
could such a man have, than seeing
.the most justly odious of all characters,
an apostate priest held up to the pub
lic view, by the democratic party, asa
man worthy of their support and pat
ronage.
If the federalist^ fejoice in the suc
cess of their ticket, it is produced by
love of country, believing as they do,
that, that interest termed demoerdtic
has been the real cause of all the evils,
that have been suffered by this coun
try, they could not without great in
sensibility appear indifferent.
" But it behoves those who are the
majority, to provide for the future ;"
this caution is not to be disregarded,
and we trust, our friends having so
often been deceived, will in future, be
at their posts, ever ready to exercise
the most invaluable privilege resulting
from our Constitution.
Every yelper in thedemocratic pack,
from the fulltoned Intelligencer, down
to the snarling Patriot, (and lower
they could not go) has been incessant
in his cry, to drown the voice of mer
ited and indignant reproach, so justly
brought upon them by the swindling
practices, and notorious defalcations
of their profligate and abandoned
leaders.
