NEW-YORK, MARCH 28. FEDERAL MEETING.
Agreeably to notice, the Federalists of this city assembled last evening at the Mechanic Hall, "to receive the report of the committee appointed to nominate a person as Senator for the Southern District, and also nine persons as members from this city in the House of Assembly, and to recommend such further measures to secure their election, as should be thought proper and advisable."
The room, one of the largest in the city, was filled at an early hour, and became at length so crowded as to incommode respiration; the stairs were also crowded with people; great numbers stood all the time in the street before the door, and hundreds went away because they could not get in. The former meeting when the committee was appointed, was nearly as well attended. At about half past seven, Mr. John B. Coles was called to the chair, Mr. David B. Ogden then informed the chairman that he had been appointed by the Committee who had framed the ticket, to report it. But before he mentioned the names agreed on, he thought it his duty to address a few remarks to the meeting.
It is not in our power, nor would our limits permit us to attempt even an outline of the nervous and masterly speech delivered on this occasion.
He took a glance at the prosperous state of our affairs during the administration of the sage WASHINGTON, aided by the counsels of a HAMILTON, when the glorious sentiment was MILITARY FOR DEFENCE, NOT A CENT FOR TRIBUTE. But he hastened to the time when the present chief magistrate was elevated to power. He observed that altho' Mr. Jefferson had been elected to the presidency against the wishes and efforts, and amidst the apprehensions of the federal party, still were they disposed to give him some credit in advance and to indulge the hope that his administration might turn out better than their fears had suggested. And had he (said Mr. O.) but kept the promises which he voluntarily made and published in his Inaugural speech, this unusually crowded meeting would not have taken place this evening. Instead of which the first acts of his administration were in direct hostility with all his professions; which only served to confront him with and to prove he was one of the most deceitful, the most perfidious and the most intolerant of those ambitious and unprincipled men who had raised themselves to power by flattering the vices and cajoling the weaknesses of the people. Mr. Jefferson, he said, had forever in his mouth his regard for the constitution, and his vigilance over the public monies entrusted to his care; yet one of his first acts after he came into power, was to take 30,000 dollars out of the public treasury, without any appropriation by law, to pay for the repairs done to the French corvette, the Berceau. This vessel had been taken by our brave tars after a fair and gallant combat, but no sooner did Mr. Jefferson hear of it, than he ordered her to be restored, and the sum of 30,000 dollars to be paid out of the public treasury to indemnify against any injury she had sustained. Another instance in which he had acted contrary to law, in violation of the constitution, and in contempt of all that was honorable, was in the case of Callender; a libelous wretch whom he not only liberated from imprisonment, but actually rewarded for his infamous attacks upon the federal government, with two hundred dollars from the public treasury. Mr. O. called the attention of the meeting to the wicked attack upon the Judiciary, for the purpose of gratifying Mr. Jefferson's malevolence against the judges of the Circuit Courts because they happened to be federalists. He dwelt with emphasis on the stain upon our national character, in permitting Spain to violate her treaty in relation to New-Orleans, and instead of calling her to account for it, compromising and smothering the controversy by a pretended purchase of Louisiana, and giving the sum of fifteen millions of dollars for a country without boundaries and whose face was covered with serpents and alligators.—But not content with having done this, in order to quiet
some further dispute about it, two millions of dollars more had been voted away in Congress with closed doors.
It was well for the administration said Mr. O. that they passed the act with closed doors, they never could have passed it otherwise.—Shame alone would have restrained them from so disgraceful an act, had they permitted the world to witness their conduct. And now, whether this two millions of tribute had been sent off to France, or Spain, or to somewhere else, no one could tell, for Mr. Jefferson had not yet condescended to inform us.
Mr. O. spoke in terms of the most pointed contempt of the manner in which the administration had treated the application of this city for protection. The last year nothing was done. Neither Mr. Munroe nor Mr. Clinton, our two Representatives, would open their lips upon the subject; and we witnessed the curious and humiliating fact, that the cause of the city of New-York was abandoned by its own proper agents, to be advocated by a representative from Boston, Mr. Quincy. This year to be sure, our cause had been managed by our own orators with such extraordinary ability as to obtain a grant of $20,000 to be expended in the defence of the Atlantic coast from New-Orleans to Maine. A sum not sufficient to pay the engineers for surveying the coasts, and fixing upon the proper sites. After, however, the information had been received by express that the Clinton faction had been humbled at Albany, and had lost their Council of Appointment, the news struck such terror at Washington, that it was agreed to divide the sum of 300,000 dollars, originally destined for gun-boats, so as to allow 150,000 dollars of it to be expended on the sea coast. But this is boasted of as a grant of $50,000 to New-York alone; whereas it was intended and so expressed, to be for any part of the Atlantic coast, and left in the discretion of the Executive, how and where it should be applied: but if information lately received could be relied on, not a cent of this money would be expended on New-York. The inhabitants of the sea coast, Mr. O. observed, had always shown a willingness to have the Western country protected, and to bear their full proportion of the requisite expense; how then could it be accounted for that they did not meet with equal generosity in return, but from the known antipathy of Mr. Jefferson to cities and to commerce?
Mr. O. lastly took up the Miranda expedition and gave a very strong and affecting picture of our fellow-citizens lying in the Spanish dungeons or hung upon a Spanish gibbet; their sufferings being disregarded by an administration, which had itself countenanced and encouraged this very expedition and which now descended to this treachery and cruelty towards these poor unhappy men for the purpose of shielding themselves from censure.
It is not in our power, as already observed, to pursue Mr. Ogden through one half of this excellent speech, and we therefore must content ourselves with giving a very faint outline of it. We do not recollect having ever heard a speech more enthusiastically received. Instead of the House of Commons' Hear him, load applause and a "three cheers for that" were frequently and unanimously given.
Having finished, he handed the following Ticket to the Chairman, which being read over by the Secretary, was received with uncommon sensations of approbation.

PHILADELPHIA, MARCH 27.
Extract of a letter from Havana, dated Feb. 25 "An additional duty has been laid on imports of one and an half per cent. and the same on exports, with an augmentation in the valuation of sugars, as some say, of two rials the arroba, and also of two rials addition to the militia duty. It will now stand thus, 34 per cent. on imports and ten and a half per cent. on exports."
This arrangement takes effect this day, and on all vessels not entered at the custom-house, and those which were not cleared out previous to this morning. The order only arrived from Spain yesterday, but it is dated two years ago, and the present is the only one that has reached here."

NEW-YORK, MARCH 30. AARON BURR.
Concerning this personage, we have just been favored with the following extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Frederickburg, (Virg.) to his correspondent in this city, dated March 27:—
"Aaron Burr arrived here last evening, guarded by nine men, who have conducted him about 1200 miles, from some part of the Mobile River, where he was taken by an officer of government, under Gov. William's proclamation; the party had been here but a very short time, when they were met by a messenger from the President, directing the officer who commanded, on receiving this message to change the rout immediately and proceed to Richmond, and there deliver their prisoner to George Hay, Esq. Attorney for the U. S.—they left this place in the stage this morning.—How very different was this man's entry last evening from what it was seven or eight years ago! Then he came to attend the grand Caucus at Monticello, by which the federalists were turned out, and himself elevated to the Vice-President's chair. He was now mean and dirtily dressed, guarded like a felon, and apparently much depressed and sunk in spirits. The presumption is, that he is to be sent to Richmond, to be tried at the district court there, which will set in a few days. It is said his first movements were about Blannerhasset's Island, which is in this state and of course the trial will take place where the offence was committed."
On the 23d of Feb. last, two men, Halloway and Haggerty were executed at the Old Bailey, (Eng.) for the murder of a Mr. Steel. The populace began to assemble as early as 5 o'clock, and by eight o'clock, such a concourse of people were collected as to completely fill up every street and avenue leading to the place of execution. So anxious were the spectators to obtain a sight of the unhappy sufferers, and the pressure became so great that thirty one persons lost their lives on the spot, and many others were so much injured that their lives were despaired of. Among those identified was Thomas Bradford a youth about 16, who was found among the killed. The lad had come from Charleston, S. Carolina, to be completed in tuning and finishing piano-fortes. He was learning the business at an eminent piano-forte-maker's, near Golden-square, and had gone out without the knowledge or consent of his master.
What are we coming to? The following article shows what regard the democrats pay to the laws and institutions of this country.
ON Sunday evening last, in a public house in the borough of Lancaster, a number of citizens being present, a conversation took place on the subject of the motion made by the Attorney General to bring Michael Leib before the court in Philadelphia, to answer the charge of conspiracy, &c. On this occasion William Duane expressed himself, apparently in great wrath (we believe word for word, but certainly in substance) as follows:
"By God, if the warrant had been granted and the sheriff had attempted to execute it, in less time than twice twenty-four hours I would have had seven hundred men at Lancaster. The "thunder and blitz" of the Northern Liberties, the Wild Irish of Irishtown, and all the butchers of Philadelphia would have turned out. We would have pressed all the waggons and carriages in Philadelphia, and made the cartridges and cast the balls on the waggons coming up!"—Lancaster Jour.

LATEST Foreign Intelligence.
Received by arrival at this port from Liverpool
BERLIN, FEB. 3.
Letters from Russia inform, that the Emperor Alexander had reached Grodno but the fact is doubted. We are assured that the Russian troops under Gen. Essen have orders to quit the frontiers of Turkey.
FRANKFORT, FEB. 9.
The last letters from Constantinople mention great preparations of the Porte by land and sea. They expect in the city from 15 to 20,000 Asiatic troops, and every precaution is used to prevent any evils from the march of the troops. All the Pashas have orders to march their contingents into the neighborhood of Adrianople. It is expected that the Ottoman army collected in this quarter will amount to 100,000 men. The Grand Visir is to command in person. The Captain Pasha pushes with great zeal all their Maritime preparations, and the works in the arsenal continue day and night, and several ships of the Line and Frigates will be ready to sail in a few days.
WARSAW, JAN. 20.
NEW GOVERNMENT. The Emperor Napoleon has ordered the organization of a Provisional Government for Poland. It consists of a Directory of seven Members, of whom Marshal Malakowski is President.

FROM FRENCH PAPERS. Postscript to the Journal du commerce of the 24th February, 1807.
Extract of the 56th, 57th, and 58th Bulletins of the Grand Army, dated at Arensdorf, the 5th and at Prussian Eylau the 7th and 9th of February.
From the 5th to the 7th there have been between the two Armies several obstinate battles, which terminated by the retreat of the enemy to the other side of Eylau, where our troops took up a position.
The Grand Duke of Berg, at the head of the cavalry, fell upon the hostile army. Two lines of Russian infantry were broken; two squadrons of guards twice traversed the whole army of the enemy. This brilliant and incredible charge, which had hewn down more than 20,000 of the enemy's infantry, would have instantly decided the victory, had it not been for a wood and some difficulties in the ground. The loss of the enemy is immense—ours is considerable. Three hundred mouths of fire vomited death from one side and the other, for more than 12 hours. The victory, for a long time uncertain, was at last ours.
The enemy retired beyond the Pregel. Marshal Augereau is wounded by a ball. Our loss amounts to 1900 killed, and 4700 wounded. Seven thousand Russians were counted on the field of battle. Thus the offensive expedition of the enemy which had for its object to bear down upon Thorn, by turning the left wing of the Grand Army, has been of the most direful consequences to them; 12 or 15,000 prisoners, as many more hors de combat, 12 standards and 45 pieces of cannon are the trophies, for which we have paid too dear, without doubt, by the blood of so many brave men. This expedition is concluded; the enemy beaten and driven 100 leagues from Vistula. The army is about to resume its cantonments, and is about to go into winter quarters.
Two designs against the life of Napoleon, it is reported, have been discovered at Warsaw; the one was by a General, who, on being sent for by the Despot, shot himself; the other was by a Polish Lady, who was detected by Fouchet, the Minister of Police, with a dagger in her sleeve.
Extract of a private letter from Hamburg, Feb. 24:
A French officer has arrived here, who was present in the battle of Eylau; he describes it as the most sanguinary, one that the French were ever engaged in. He makes no mention of the loss of the French. Letters received here from Berlin, state, that all the officers who attended when Te Deum was chanted, wore craps round their arms, from which circumstance it was inferred that some person of rank had fallen.
LONDON, FEB. 26.
SOUTH AMERICA. The troops which have sailed for South America, consist of two regiments, and eight troops of light dragoons; eleven regiments (the 5th, 6th,
10th, 15th, 17th, 18th, 20th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th, 36th, 37th, 38th, 39th,) and two companies of foot; our companies of artillery; five companies of riflemen; and detachments of engineers, artificers, and royal waggon corps.
Gen. Victor has been exchanged for the Prussian General Blucher.
Dispatches from Ld. Hutchinson have been received. They are dated Mamel, Jan. 28. They state that two French Generals, Dupont, and Lafevre, had been taken; and that his Lordship had negotiated a treaty with Prussia: which he had sent home for ratification.
General Liniers, who commanded at the recapture of Buenos Ayres, is appointed Governor of that province.
Capt. Samuel Hood Linzee is appointed to command the Maida, formerly the Jupiter, of 24 guns.
The following was received at Marblehead by an arrival from Bordeaux.
PARIS, FEB. 21, 1807.
Several couriers have arrived this evening, and brought news of the events of the 4th inst. and the first advantage gained by the Emperor over the Russian army.
The Princes of Neuchatel writes to her Majesty the Empress, from Gross-Glandau, a letter, dated the 7th, in which are the following details:
As soon as His Majesty the Emperor approached, the Russian army began to retreat. The 6th, at night, it was before Lansberg, to continue its retreat during the night. The Emperor, commanding the advanced guard, attacked the rear of the enemy, which was repeatedly reinforced. Resistance was vain. The impetuosity of those attacks were completely successful. A division cuirassiers made a fine charge against eight regiments, the flower of the Russian army, and cut them in pieces. The columns, forming right and left, had equal success.
To-morrow we shall be at Konigsberg.
Thus, since the breaking up of winter quarters, we have made 40,000 prisoners—taken 27 pieces of cannon—caused a great number of killed and wounded, without reconnoitring the events which ARE STILL TO FOLLOW—and which cannot but be more and more disastrous to the enemy.

RICHMOND, APRIL 3, 1807.
MR. BURR—AGAIN.
The examination of Mr. Burr, before Chief Justice Marshall, which began on Monday, was continued on Tuesday at the Capitol. Mr. Hay, District Attorney, opened the examination and charged Col. Burr, with being guilty of a Misdemeanor as already stated, and High Treason. He adduced the testimony of Gen. Eaton, Gen. Wilkinson, &c. Mr. Wickham, in behalf of Col. Burr combated the charge. Mr. Randolph (formerly Secretary of State) followed on the same side. They asserted that Col. Burr's objects were of a nature to be serviceable to the United States. Col. Burr addressed the Judge in a speech of about 10 minutes, asserted his innocence; urged his two former acquaintances in Kentucky, and the Mississippi Territory, declared it to be false, utterly false, that he had broken his recognisance; and complained of the treatment he had experienced; his loss of property (40,000 dollars) from seizures; the hardships received from his guard and being debarred the use of pen, ink and paper, &c. He said the alarms were not created by him: but by others; by the President who had alarmed Gen. Wilkinson, and by Gen. Wilkinson, who had alarmed the city. He called Eaton's deposition a cruelty he did not understand. The Attorney Gen. Rodney closed; and the Chief Justice said he should deliver his opinion the next day in writing.
On the next day the Chief Justice gave his opinion at much length;—at the close of which he observed, he should not commit Col. Burr; but should hold him to bail, in the sum of 10,000 dollars; which was given; and Messrs. Thomas Taylor, John G. Gamble, John Hopkins, Henry Heath, and William Longhorne, became his sureties. He is recognized to appear before the Federal Court, in Richmond, the 22d May.

From PORT-AU-PRINCE, March 10. "We are here amidst wars, and rumors of wars. The garrison of Port-au-Prince, consists of twelve thousand men, with a flotilla arming, of 10 sail for the purpose of blockading all the brigand ports."
GENERAL MIRANDA.
Far from being discouraged with the event of his first attempt, is now a Trinidad, contemplating a second; and that he only waits the arrival of 8 or 10,000 men from England, under the orders of General Tucker, to undertake a fresh expedition of the same nature.

We have seen a letter from a student at Princeton College of the 1st inst. mentioning, that in consequence of the expulsion of a few students for misconduct, 145 out of 180 had signed a note of rebellion, and refused to obey the Professors, unless they would reinstate the students that had been expelled. The Professors have refused to retract any thing; and the College is in a most unpleasant dilemma.—N. Y. Gaz.

From Europe.
SINCE our last, by the ship Joseph, capt. Jameson from Liverpool, we have received London papers from the 26th of February, to the 5th of March, inclusive.
Boharte's Bulletins give the operation of the French army in Poland, to Feb. the 8th. The last action which the French gave an account of, was fought at Eylau—it began at 6, A. M. and continued with great obstinacy on both sides until 8 o'clock, P. M. The Russians commenced the attack. The French acknowledge they suffered more in this engagement than they have in any other since the present campaign began. They state the number killed at 1900; among which was the adjutant-general Corbineau; and the wounded at 5700, among whom were the Marshals Augereau and Lannes. The French say the Russians in the end were compelled to retreat, with the loss of 15,000 men, and a number of standards and pieces of cannon.
At the last dates the King of Prussia was at Konigsburg, a distance of about 72 miles from Eylau, with 20,000 men.
FROM RUSSIA LATER.
The day capt. Jameson sailed, a London paper of the 8th of March was received in Liverpool, from which his merchant furnished him with the following information: "That a messenger, Mr. Vick, had arrived at the foreign office from St. Petersburg, which place he left the 18th of Feb. bringing accounts of actions fought between the Russian and French armies from the 1st to the 12th of February. [This is four days later than the French accounts.] That in this interval several engagements had taken place with various success on each side, but that the Russians were in the end victorious. The French being defeated, with the loss of 20,000 men, 12 standards or royal eagles and a great number of artillery. It is also added, that the French have lost upwards of 100,000 men since they entered Poland. Such is the intelligence we have received the week past. We hope, for the tranquillity of the civilized world, that it will not prove a forerunner to French success, as similar accounts have, on former occasions. To say the least, on a careful comparison of all the information, it is a fact, that Bonaparte has not been able to obtain any advantage over the Russians in Poland."
In France, every press is subject to the control of Bonaparte, and no accounts are suffered to be published, but such as are favourable to the successes of his Imperial Majesty.
After preparing the above, the Mail of Saturday Evening furnished a confirmation of the above, received at Boston, by the arrival of the Galen, from London; the following are the principal articles; they fully show that Bonaparte has been frustrated in his plan of obtaining possession of Konigsburg and of driving the Russians out of Poland.
Russian Account.
ST. PETERSBURG, FEB. 15.
On the 8th of this month the Russian Army gained a splendid victory over the French at Prussian Eylau. The French army on this occasion consisted of more than 120,000 men; the Russians, of Gen. Bennigsen's division and of that which was formerly commanded by Gen. Buxhovden. The battle began on the 7th of Feb. at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and continued till 6 o'clock on the evening of the 8th. Bonaparte renewed the attack eight different times, and was as often repulsed.
According to Gen. Bennigsen's letter to the Emperor, dated the 8th of Feb. the Russians have lost in this battle more than 6000 men, the French above 12,000, among whom are reckoned 1000 who were made prisoners; besides this, the Russians have taken 12 stand of colours. In another account it is said, that a great part of the French Army (chiefly chosen troops) were fairly cut down by the Russians; and that on the Russian side four Generals were killed. It is remarked, that in case Bonaparte's
design had succeeded, it would have been conclusive of the campaign. He knew that Gen. Bennigsen's Division was stationed at Mohrungen, and Gen. Essen's at Wissocke-Masewick, and as they were consequently at a great distance from each other, he threw himself with his whole force between these two Divisions, in a right line with Konigsburg, in order to separate them, or cut them off from each other, and fall with more effect upon the weaker part; but the success of this plan was prevented by Gen. Bennigsen's operations and rapid movements.
Towards the conclusion of the battle, there was a want of cartridges on both sides; and, therefore, recourse was had to the bayonet, which caused great carnage.

60th BULLETIN.
Prussian Eylau, Feb. 17.—The conquest of Silesia proceeds, Schweidnitz has capitulated. The Prussian governor of Silesia is shut up in Glatz.
The siege of Cosel is carried on with vigour.—Since the battle of Eylau the enemy have collected themselves behind the Pregel. We were in hopes of driving them out of that position, had the river remained covered with ice; but the thaw continues, and the river is a line of separation, beyond which the French have no interest in pursuing the enemy! Three thousand Russian prisoners have been liberated near Wittensberg, by a band of 1000 Cossacks.
The cold weather is quite gone; the snow is every where melted; and the present season exhibits the singular appearance of the latter end of April in the midst of February. The army is going into cantonments. [Why, then, go into winter quarters?]
61st BULLETIN.
Landsburg, Feb. 18.—The battle of Eylau was at first represented by several of the enemy's officers as a victory. This was believed at Konigsburg the whole of the evening of the 9th. However, the Russian army and the headquarters making their appearance soon after, excited a great alarm. Presently some cannon shots were heard, and the French were seen masters of a small eminence, which commanded the whole Russian camp.
The Russian General declared he would defend the place, which in some degree increased the despondency of the inhabitants, who expected nothing less than to undergo the same fate that Lubec had experienced; but, happily for the city of Konigsburg, it was not among the objects of the French General to drive the enemy out of his position!!!
The number of the dead in Generals and Officers of the Russian army is very considerable.
In consequence of the battle of Eylau, upwards of 5000 wounded Russians, left upon the field, and in the neighbouring hospitals, have fallen into our hands. Part of them are since dead; the others, who were slightly wounded, have increased the number of the prisoners war; 1500 have been sent back to the Russian army! It is thought the Russians had 15,000 wounded, exclusive of the 3,000 that fell into the hands of the French.
The army have gone into quarters.
Marshal Mortier has advanced into Swedish Pomerania.
POLAND.
WARSAW, FEB. 16.
The Emperor had a horse shot under him in the battle of the 8th. The French, still hold Brannau, from the Russians.
WARSAW, FEB. 22.
General Savory, who, on account of the indisposition of Marshal Lannes, commands the 5th corps of the grand army, completely defeated, on the 16th inst. the Russian corps under Gen. Essen. This Gen. and Gen. Muller had received from Moldavia a reinforcement of six regiments; Prince Kutaisof had joined them with 8000 men; and the whole corps, at least 30,000 men strong, took a position near Wyszkow. Gen. Savory who expected to be attacked by them, detached Gen. Gazan to attack the Russians, who fell on one of his corps and routed it. The Russians made a second attack on Ostrolenka, where a severe conflict took place in the streets. The enemy was repulsed, but joined the corps opposed to Gen. Cuzan. Both armies formed in line of battle, and a general engagement took place. The Russians were repulsed on all points, and pursued three leagues, until seven o'clock at night. They lost 2 stand of colors, 6 pieces of cannon, and 1,500 men killed. Prince Kutaisof was dangerously wounded. The French General Campana was killed, General Rigaud wounded, and General Oudinot had a horse killed under him. On the 17th early, the French army was still in pursuit of part of the Russian horse.
BANES OF THE EYE, MARCH 7.
The last battle, which was fought six miles from Konigsberg, was one of the most bloody in the annals of the present war. It appears that a strong column of Russians, who, after the affair of Mohrungen had ascended the Vistula, was cut off from the main body, and only effected a junction by very great efforts, and the loss of a considerable number of men, and some artillery. If the French, who, it is said, made six unsuccessful attacks on the centre of the Russians, had succeeded in forcing it, they would have become masters of Konigsberg, and of the rich magazines which are there; but since the 19th of February, that city has been free from apprehension of the attempts of the enemy. Among the number wounded in the French army are, Marshals Augereau and Lannes. The insurrectional army of Poland has to regret the loss of one of its bravest chiefs, Gen. Kosinski, who had the misfortune to be taken prisoner by the Prussians. The Prussian part, which harasses the country from Kolberg to near Frankfort on the Oder, greatly impedes the communications. We are assured that lately issued a considerable trumpet of money.
LONDON, MARCH 10.
Bonaparte has made an extensive promotion of Field officers, to replace the loss of those who fell in the battle of Eylau.
We understand that a treaty, offensive and defensive, has been arranged between this country, Prussia and Sweden.
A fleet of ten or twelve sail of the line is equipping for the Baltic. It is to be composed of old 74's, to carry 24-pounders on the main deck, instead of 32's.
The French grand head-quarters were at Soldeau, Feb. 17. The two armies lost in the battle of Eylau, 30,000 men. A French General was taken.—The French have invested Stralsund.
Peterborough was illuminated in honor of the victory of Eylau, and 6 French captured standards were exhibited on the parade.
The Russian army at the battle of Eylau was estimated at 90,000; the French at 100,000.

Poetry.
THE PEASANT'S SLEEP.
SWEET is the Peasant's sleep! Sweet, if by toil he earn his bread: He knows not half the care and dread Which agitate the rich man's mind, And make him watch and weep; But casting sorrow to the wind, Sweet is the Peasant's sleep!
Refreshing are his dreams! No tantalizing scenes of wealth Mock him, possess'd of ease and health, He fears not murderers, storms nor fire, The rich man's nightly themes; But Innocence and Peace inspire His light and pleasant dreams.
And when the cheerful morn, The watchful cock proclaims aloud, Light by his slumbers, as a cloud, Reflected by the noon-day sun, On wings of light is born; No head-ache vails in mantle dun, The Peasant's happy morn.
Godless of sweet repose! When toil invites my limbs to rest, With thy warm pillows shield my breast; Breathe through my lips thy kindest My willing eyelids close, [dreams, And as the Peasant's slumber seems, Be such my sound repose.

"Dost thou well to be angry for the gourd?" "INGRATITUDE, (says an apocryphal writer) is a crime so shameful, that the man was never yet found who would acknowledge himself guilty of it." Notwithstanding the universal abhorrence in which this detested crime is held, every day's history gives us glaring instances of the commission of it; and we generally find that those who are most clamorous about it, exhibit the least of it in their lives.
The Prophet, Jonah, although possessed of many ministerial gifts and graces, and although he was distinguished as being an instrument in the hand of God, of saving the inhabitants of Nineveh from destruction, yet he exhibited through his whole life, a remarkable instance of human depravity. At the end of his mission to Nineveh, he was exceedingly angry because the Lord was pleased to turn away his fierce anger, and to hear their prayers, and accept of their repentance. "So Jonah went out on the eastern side of the city, and builded him a booth, and sat there to see what might become of the city." But here he found fresh occasion, as he thought, to repine at his God, because he had suffered the gourd to wither which had hitherto overshadowed him. "And God said unto Jonah, Dost thou well to be angry for the gourd?" In answer to this question, it seems he presumptuously justified himself, rather than his Maker, and with all the arrogance of the Pharisee he replied, "I do well to be angry even unto death." The same repining spirit is still to be found among the present generation. The unnumbered mercies showered down upon us, ought to excite our warmest gratitude, but so far from it, that we are ready to call God's ways unjust, if every act of his providence does not exactly correspond with our whimsical fancies.
"One part, one lit part we dimly scan, Through the dark medium of life's feverish dream; Yet dare arraigh the whole stupendous plan, If but that little part incongruous seem."
This vicious principle discovers itself at every trivial disappointment, in lamenting its destiny, and repining at the good fortune of others. It lessens our pleasures, adds poignancy to our afflictions, embitters our whole life, and to sum it up, it debases the man, and spoils the christian. Nearly all led to these murmurings at providence, are those who do not acknowledge the benefits they receive, but seem to disregard every occurrence, and preserve a stolid indifference at every dispensation. These are mostly vain philosophers, very subtle arguers, and great reasoners from "cause and effect." But they are generally proud, arrogant, and self-conceited, and their character is truly despicable. "O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly mine honour be thou not united."

TO THE PUBLIC.
IT is with much concern that we find ourselves so involved as to be under the necessity to stop payment. We hereby inform our creditors that we have thought it our duty to secure our Endorsers and Bondsmen, which we have done. The remainder of our property and debts due us, are willing to put into the hands of an agent, or agents appointed by our creditors for that purpose; and for them to employ or dispose of it to the best advantage. We greatly fear, that from the many losses and other circumstances, that we shall not have sufficient property to pay all the just demands against us. We therefore most earnestly request our creditors not to commence Law-suits against us which may create much expense, and that must eventually come out of our creditors. As we are desirous to do every thing in our power for their benefit, we will give up and endorse over all our property and demands to the agents that may be appointed as aforesaid, on condition that our endorsers and bondsmen be first paid, and the remainder to be divided among our Creditors in proportion to their respective demands.
