by those who have explored it, to possess superior
local advantages to any tract of equal extent in

poles, part of the low ground, which is extensive,

Wo have been favored by Captain Barton with
Lisbon papers to the 4tb of January, which con
tain London intelligence to the 2Vth of Decem
ber, at which date the rupture between our guvl
ernment an<l Mr. Jackson, bad not been publick
ly announced. The Loudon paper nf the 20th
December says “ letters from Boston to the 17th
of November say, that the discussions between
oui minister Mr. Jackson, and the American ]
government are suspended, on account of the in-1
disposition of Mr. Smith, the American Secreta- j
|ryot*State ; they will not, it is said, be resinned |
Until the meeting of Congress on the 27th of:
[that month.” A letter from Flushing of the 13th i
December says, “ All tlio trr.ons except the rear
guard had embarked the Monday preceding, j
The next day the Mole was destroyed, and adi
the fortifications, dock-yards and arsenals blown .
up, and what cost the French 1J years labor was i
destroyed in one day. The enemy coithl par-j
ccive the destruction from Cadsanu and South (
Beveland.”
The Gazettes announce officially the capture of I
five or six rational corvettes, bound from diilerent'
ports in France to Gitadaloupe.
The Emperor of Austria entered fits capital on
the 20th Nov. amidst the most enthusiastic accla
mations of the people ; there were iiluminati-1
ons for two nights ; the Archduke Charles \v<s •
expected the n<-xt week. Tlare reiniiined in Vi
enna 10,700 sick and wounded French soldiers,
who could not be removed.
The brave Tyroleans had not submitted ns late
as the 20th of November, as appears by articles
under the head of Munich and Vienna. Two re
giments of dragoons, one British and one Ger
man, were to leave Portsmouth with the first
lair wind for Lisbon. A division of the con
scripts passed the Pyrenees on the last of No
vember; it was composed of thirty thousand men,
and was to form an army of reserve to the French
armies in Spain, and to remain at Victoria in Bis
cay.
Advices from St. Petersburg to the 15lh of
Nov. announce that the Russian r.rmy in Mol
davia, had defeated that of tlie Grand Visier,
with the loss of 16 pieces of arullerv and 12 stan
dards.
From the general complexion of the Lisbon pa
pers, it does not appear that there is any thing
like despondency, on the contrary, the most ac
tivo preparations were making in Spain and Por
tugal for resistance. Th« first requisition of the
inhabitants of Portugal, were ordered out, to join
the army.—Ledger.

Head quarters at Burros, Nov. 12, 1309.
I have received yours of the Kith of last month
covering another. 1 thank you for your prompt
attention to my affairs, as weir as for your com
mumcatiops respecting your own, ibr you know
the interest I always take in whatever concerns
you.
I have not been able to answer your letter as
early as I wished; for I have been dangerously
ill, and almost at the point of death, in conse
quence of the fatigue of iny last expedition ; 1
ain mending though slowly, and am unable to
write much.
Our situation here grows worse daily, the
whole province is nearly in the hands of the ene
my. I krep uo my communications us far as I
am aide, but i cannot answer for their safety
My orders are not obeyed two leagues beyond
the walls of this place—our military chest is emp
ty, our stores almost exhausted, art' provisions *o
scarce and difficult to be had, that a fowl for the

Our situation is discouraging in every view, and
notwithstanding ail l have done, and procured to
be done, the lesult 1 assure you is extremely
doubtful.

It is affirmed for a fact, by a person who lias
hail an opportunity of being in the office of gen
eral Belliard, and seen the official returns, that
since the first invasion of the Peninsula, 672,000
men have been sent into it. By deducting the
number marched back to France, am! ilie present
French army in Spain, we can arrive at the know
ledge of their loss.
January 4.—The following intercepted letter,
published in the Seville Ga/.etto of the 20th Iasi
month, by order of the Spanish government, will
prove the precarious tenure by which the enemy
hold some posts in Old Castile, and exhibits a
specimen of the confidence which is to be placed
in the foreign troops incorporated in Bonaparte’s

SUMMARY OF THE EXPOSE,
Delivered before the Irrialativc l>ody bv Mon
sieur do idontalivet, minister of the interior, on
tli" I2thl>-c. I»k/9.
His excellency divides his report into several
parts. 11 the ;irst, lie describes the works im
d'Ttrdcen, or finished in the different parts of the
empire »ir ;o the last session j on one side the
canal n; St. O'irntin, finished by the prisoners ot
war i that, of iJupdcw, which is to join the
Rhone to the Rhine, already far advanced ; sev
eral lock*; of importance finish'>1 ; the mnr:t‘:tr.c
work* of the ports of l)u *'Yk, Havre, Cette,
Marseilles, the bason of Antwerp, rarried nn
j with great activity, the road of Mount Cc: i«, o
pcn'ng tlu; passage of the Alps : the m .rr-hes of
tlie Cotentin, und i Rochefort drained, sic the
results of the favors bestowed by the gor ni
ment, and of that solicitude which it manifests
for every object of its administration.
Before our eyes, numberless monuments em
brllish tlie metropolis of this vs?» emp're :
Out of the city ofParis, the bridges of B";”*n3, of
Choizy are'•nmroenc.ed ; that of Charenton is re* j
established ; *h' bridge of Jena g«-*$ fo ward, the
bridge <>fSt. M’clnu’l is entirely < ’eared, the
keys of the I.ouvre, and of Jem are finished ; j
granaries are erecting ; large slaughter-houses I
have been built n^ar one of the gates of Paris ; '
laborers are working at the building destined to j
be tlie exchange o f Paris : t.'is column of duster- |
litz is already covered with half of the bronze 1
which is to decorate it; the I.ouvre is adorned j
with a ■rapidity which astonishes even the in!**h-!
itanls of this capital: already Paris enjoys the w:»- j
ters of the Ourcq, and by another favor of his run-!
jestv, beggary, that hideous plague in polished j
states, lias disappeared.
IPs exccMency here mentions the improve* ;
metits which the department; have experienced
during this year : the inhabitants on the hoiks of
the Rhine, who have suffered by th<* inundations.
Iiave been indemnified fer thetr losses : succour
Inis been afforded to the Communes afflicted by
hail, and fire : establishments fir vaccination
h*ve b-en established in tile departments ; the
arts and sciences have been discouraged—11 is
majesty' proposes to honor, and reward them.
With that view he has established decennial pro
rain ms, they would have been distributed by this
time, if the jury of examination ha.l sent in the
result of their labors, and if the fm:;:ror had not
thought proper to give more scope to his first de
cree, in establishing new premiums, an:l in or
dering a m ire solemn discussion for the works of
tlie learned.
I he administration of justice has been the
8Hme as in former years. The emperor, respect- |
ing the consciences ot lus subjects, has thought ]
that ali religions founded on the morality of thr
gospel were useful to society. It was with that
principle that tha worship of the Ltttharans ! as '
experienced the effects of his protection, and .
ministers cf that mode of worship are supported i
at the expence of the stale.
As to the religion of tiie emperor, which is j
that of all his family, and of the majority of the
French ; it has alwaj s been the object of his most
assiduous cat es ; many places rf worship have
been repaired, new seminaries have been Joint
ed ; the nundv rot'chape's of r sc has bc.-n in
creased, as .i.slance has been afforded to the cu
rates, and deserving and infirm old clergymen.
Lastly,his majesty has appointed as members of
the senate, and of the university' several arch
bishops, and proposes to appoint them in his
council of state.
Nobody can deny the cvi’.s which the temporal j
power cf the Popes has occasioned to religion, j
had it net been for that power, more than the hall j
of Europe would not have been separated from the ;
other. The emperor has I.ad discussions with the |
pope; iiis majesty acknowledging in everything;
iiisspiritual power, thought it his duty to pre
serve the rights of his crown. Tiie concordat,
•.igned by the pope, was intended to recognize
those rights : but the court of Rome, actuated
by hatred against France, could no-longer con
ce a lit s secret sentiments. It constantly mini
tested them, and that even before the baflc of
Austerlitz, by receiving the enemies of France,
and by refusing to acknowledge the lawfulness
of the appointment of some members of tht
French c:ergy Incendiary writings, and clan
destine bulls have been hawked about .several
parts of the empire ; blit they have been receiv
ed with that contempt they deserved.
Convinced of lid-j perfidy of the Court or
Komb, the emperor had onlyto choose between j
two resolutions : that of creating a patriarch or
chief of religion in France. His majesty lies le
jected tiie first resolution ; but he will nev • r ac
knowledge the triple CROWN', and will only
admit of the spiritual power of the pope. It is
necessary that tiie successor of St. Peter, like
St. Peter himself, should be-.* p - iron according
to the precepts of J- uis Christ: popes, like king.,
ought to give unto Cjcsar what b; long to C.cs.< •
His Excellency after announcing that the cm
pernr-having done a great aeal,is disposed to d.»
flill more for religion, has dedicated another purl
of his report to the triumphs which have crowned
Hie French armies in tha last campaigns The
emperor adds, by a skilful munesuvre, he had suc
ceeded in drawing the English army into a snare :
already he was pursuing it, and was on the point
of annihilating it, when he received intelligence
that tiie cabinet of Vienna wit meditating a di
version in favor of the Spanish insurgents ; that
it had promised them 100,000 nuisqucts; •tid
that GOO,000 men had Invaded Bavaria withnfK a
declaration of war. His excellency calls to mind
the effects which the presence of the einpi re
produced umidat the roldicrs in Germany, and
the brilliant victories which brought about a p?« j
without doubt mOre durable than that of Pres-|
burgh.
Iiis excellency then remark■» upon the expedi
tion of FlUsiiing, no cowardly surrendered : and
praises the zval of the departments winch fl« w to
the defence of the French territory. Ho, never
theless, excepts from this praise the department
of tiie Sarrc, some communes of which, inster d
of obeying the call of p.nrio'ism, rebelled.—
Their conduct, he says, has excited the indigna
tion of his majesty—he lias ordered military com
missions to punish the guilty ; already a council
! of state h is gun? to examine on the spot the con
duct of those communes ; such as have betrayed
their honour, will be condemned to pay for 25
I years double taxes, the inhabitants v ilt lose their
i rights of citizens1’ip i and, over the gates of the
I town theae'words shall be written : “ This Is not
