J. B. VARNUM, Speaker of the House of Representatives. JN: MILLEDGE, President of the Senate pro tempore. February 17, 1809. APPROVED, TH: JEFFERSON. Latest Foreign news. THIRTY-THIRD BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF SPAIN. [Translated for the Boston Chronicle from the Paris Moniteur of March 2, 1809.] The Duke of Dalmatia arrived at Tuy on the 10th Feb. The whole province is quiet. He was gathering all the means necessary to cross the Minho, on the next day. The river is very wide there. He was to be at Oporto from the 15th to the 20th, and at Lisbon from the 20th to the 28th. The British were embarking at Lisbon to abandon Portugal; the indication of the Portuguese was at its height. There were daily some severe and bloody engagements between the British and Portuguese. In Galicia, the Duke of Elchingen perfected the organization of the province.—Admiral Maffredo had arrived at Ferrol, and activity was beginning to revive in that important arsenal. Tranquility is restored in all the provinces under the orders of the Duke of Itria, and situate between the Pyrenees, the sea, Portugal and the ridge of mountains that cover Madrid. Security succeeds to disorders and alarms. Numerous deputations daily arrive in Madrid to tender their homage to the king. The re-organization and public spirit make rapid progress under the new government. The Duke of Belluno is marching towards Badajoz; he disarms and pacifies all Lower Estramadura. Sarragossa has capitulated. The calamities which have befallen this wretched city, are a terrible example for all nations. Order is re-established in Sarragossa, and extends to the whole province of Arragon. The two corps d'armes which invested that city are dispensable. Sarragossa was the real focus of the insurrection of Spain. It was in that city that the party who wished to call a Prince of the House of Austria to reign on the Tagus, had assembled.—The men of that party had inherited this opinion from their ancestors, who were of that sect, at the time of the Succession war, and which has just been crushed forever. The battle of Tudela had been won on the 23d Nov. and on the 27th the French army was encamped within a short distance from Sarragossa. The populace of the city were armed. The inhabitants of the neighbouring country had joined them, and Sarragossa had contained 50,000 men formed into regiments of 1000, composed of 10 companies of 100 men. All the grades of generals, commissioned and non-commissioned officers, were filled by monks. A body of 10,000 men who had escaped from the battle of Tudela had retired to that city, the substance of which was secured by immense magazines, and defended by 200 pieces of cannon. The image of Our Lady of the Pillar was daily operating miracles, according to the directions of the monks who animated the courage of that numerous population, and supported their confidence. In the field, there 40,000 men would not have stood against three regiments; but shut up in the city, and spurred on by all their leaders, how could they avoid the evils which ignorance and fanaticism attached to them? Every thing has been undertaken that it was possible to bring them back to reason. Immediately after the battle of Tudela, it was thought that the opinion entertained at Sarragossa, that Madrid would make a bold stand and that the armies of Somosierra, Guadarama, Estremadura, Leon, and Catalonia would eventually beat the French, would be used by the leaders of the insurgents to keep alive the fanaticism of the inhabitants. It was therefore resolved not to invest the city, and to leave open its communications with all Spain, in order that they might learn the discomfiture of the Spanish armies, and the accounts of entry of the French army in Madrid. But this news reached only the ring-leaders, who took care that the inhabitants should not know it. Truth, not only was concealed from them, but they were encouraged by lies. To-day, the French had lost 40,000 men at Madrid; yesterday, Romana had entered France. In fine, the British army were rapidly advancing, and the French eagles must fly before the terrible leopard!
All this time, sacrificed to political views, and to the hopes of being able to calm those heads, heated by fanaticism and errors was not lost for the French army. The General of engineers, Lacoste, aide de camp to the Emperor, and an officer of the most distinguished abilities gathered at Alayon all the tools, equipments of mines, and materials necessary for the subterraneous war which H. M. had ordered. The general of division Dedon, commanding the artillery, assembled a great quantity of mortars, bombs, howitzers and heavy ordnance. All which were drawn from Pamplona, seven days' march from Sarragossa. Meanwhile, it was perceived that the enemy were availing themselves of this stagnation, to fortify the Monte Torrero and other important positions. On the 21st Dec. gen. Suchet drove them from the heights of St. Lambert, and from two other works, out of the reach of the city. The division of gen. Gazan overthrew the enemy from the heights of San Gregorio, and the 21st of light infantry, and the 100th regt. of the line, carried the redoubts in the suburbs which defended the roads of Sueva Barcelona. He also ordered the storming of a large building near Gallego where 500 Swiss had entrenched themselves. On the same day the duke of Cornegliano also carried the works and positions of Monte Torrero, took all the cannon and a great number of prisoners, and did great execution amongst the enemy. The Duke of Cornegliano being taken sick, the Duke of Abrantes took, in the beginning of January, the command of the 3d corps. He signaled his arrival by the taking of the convent of San Joseph and surmounted his successes on the 16th of January by the carrying of the tete de pont of Huesca, where his troops made good their stand. The chief of battalion Stahal, of the 14th of the line, distinguished himself at the attack on the convent of San Jose, and lieutenant Victor de Baffon was one of the first to scale the works. The investing of Sarragossa was not yet complete. They persisted in leaving open the communications, in order that the insurgents might be informed of the overthrow of the English, and their shameful flight out of Spain. It was on the 16th of January that the English were driven into the sea at Corunna, and it was on the 26th that the operations began to take a serious aspect before Sarragossa. The Duke of Montebello had reached it on the 20th, to take the chief command of the siege. As soon as he was convinced that the news sent to the city was productive of no good effect, and that the monks who directed the minds of the people had succeeded in preventing that news from reaching the people, or in altering it so as to perpetuate the delirium of the besieged, he took the resolution no longer to spare them. Fifteen thousand peasants had assembled at Perdiguera, on the left bank of the Ebro. The duke of Trevifo attacked them with three regiments, and notwithstanding the fine position they occupied, the 64th regt. entirely overthrew and routed them.—The 10th hussars were in the plain to receive them, and a great number remained on the field of battle. Nine pieces of cannon and several stands of colors were the trophies of this encounter. The duke of Montebello had sent the adjutant commandant Casque to Zuera, to disperse a party of rebels. With only three battalions, this officer attacked 4000, overthrew them, and took four pieces of cannon with their horses and appurtenances. Gen. Vattier had, at the same time, been ordered with 300 foot and 200 horse, to cut the road to Valencia. He met 5000 of the rebels at Alcaniz, forced them in the city to throw down their arms in their flight, killed 600 men, and took magazines, provisions, ammunition and arms; among these latter were 1000 muskets. The adjutant-commandant Carrion de Nizas at the head of a column of infantry, Col. Burthe of the 4th hussars, and the chief of battalion Gums, of the 28th light infantry have particularly distinguished themselves. These operations took place between the 20th and 26th January. On the 26th the city was severely attacked, and the batteries were unmasked.—On the 27th, at noon, the breach was practicable on several points. The troops lodged themselves in the convent of San-in-Gracia. The division Grandjean occupied about 30 houses in the city. Colonel Chlorfick, and the soldiers of the Vistula distinguished themselves. At the same time the general of division Morlet, in an attack on the left, possessed himself of the whole front of defence of the enemy. Captain Guetman, at the head of the pioneers, and of 36 grenadiers, mounted the breach with a rare intrepidity. Mr. Bobiefki, an officer in the Vistula Rangers, a young man of only 17 years of age, and having already received seven wounds, was the first who entered the breach. The ch. of battalion Lejeune, aide-de-camp to the prince of Neuchatel, and Haxo, behaved well, and were both slightly wounded. On the 30th, the convents of St. Monique and the great Augustines were carried, as were 60 houses taken by pioneers. The captors of the 14th regiment of the line, distinguished themselves. On the 1st February. General Lacoste was struck with a musket ball, and died on the field of battle. He was a very brave and distinguished officer. His loss has been much felt by all the army, but more particularly by the emperor. Col. Rognot succeeded him in the command of the engineers, and the direction of the siege. The enemy defended every house—three attacks by mines were carried in front, and every day three or four mines blew up several houses, and opened a way to our troops. In this way we reached the Corso, (the main street in Sarragossa) lodged ourselves on the quays, and took possession of the university and colleges. The enemy attempted to oppose their miners to ours, but little acquainted with this kind of warfare their miners were very quickly discovered and killed. This manner of conducting the siege rendered its progress slow, but sure, and less dangerous for the army. Whilst three companies of pioneers alone, are occupied with this subterraneous war, whose results are so terrible, the city is continually on fire by the mortars throwing shells and bombs. The attack had been made but ten days before the reduction of the city was considered as not far distant. More than one third of the houses were in our possession. The church of Our Lady of the Pillar, who so many miracles was to save the city, was destroyed by bombs, and no longer tenable. The Duke of Montebello, then thought it was time to take possession of the suburbs on the left bank, in order to occupy the diameter of the city and cross its fire. The General of division Gazan carried in a very brilliant manner the Swiss barracks. On the 17th, a battery of fifty pieces opened early in the morning. At 3 P. M. a battalion of the 28th attacked a large convent, whose brick walls were 4 or 5 feet thick, and carried it. 7000 of the enemy defended the suburbs. General Gazan advanced rapidly to the bridge; by which the rebels could effect their retreat into the city. He killed a great number, and took 4000 prisoners, among whom were 2 generals, 12 Colonels, 19 Lt. Colonels, and 290 officers. He also took 6 ammunition wagons, and 30 pieces of cannon. Almost all the troops of the line in the city, occupied this important post, which had been threatened since the 10th. At the same moment, the Duke D'Abrantes, crossed the Corso and blew up the colleges. After these events, the Junta, in order to gain time, and to give the people time to get over the horror and surprise with which they were struck demanded a parley; but their faithlessness was known, and this deception was useless. Thirty more houses were carried by mines or pioneers. At least, on the 31st, all the city was occupied by our troops—15,000 infantry and 2000 horse have laid down their arms at the gate of Portillo, and have surrendered 40 stands of colors and 150 pieces of cannon. The rebels lost 20,000 men during the siege, 18,000 were found in the hospitals, and of these, 500 died daily. The duke of Montebello would not grant a capitulation to the city of Sarragossa; he only issued the following orders: "The garrison shall, on the 21st, at noon, lay down their arms at the gate of Portillo, after which they shall be prisoners of war. The soldiers of the line who will take the oath of allegiance to King Joseph, and enter into his service, will be admitted into it. In case their admission should not be granted by the minister at war of the King of Spain, they shall be prisoners of war and carried in
to France. Religion shall be respected. On the 21st at noon, the French troops shall occupy the castle. All the artillery and ammunition of every kind shall be delivered to them. All the arms be deposited at the door of every house and collected by the Ward Alcaldes." The magazines of wheat, rice and vegetables found in this place, are immense. The Duke of Montebello has appointed Gen. Laval Governor of Sarragossa. A deputation of the clergy and principal inhabitants have set out for Madrid. Palafax is dangerously sick. This man was despised by the whole of the enemy's army, who accused him of vanity and cowardice. He has never been in any post where there was any danger. The Count of Fuentes, a grandee of Spain, whom the rebels had arrested on his estates seven months ago, was found in a dungeon eight feet square and liberated. The sufferings he has undergone are almost incredible. BAYONNE, March 7. We witnessed the incessant passage through our city, of the garrison of Sarragossa elevated by the division of gen. Argereau.—Yesterday 4000 of them entered, to-day 5 or 6000 arrived, to-morrow we expect the monks, amounting to 1500. As they arrive they are conducted to the ALLEES BOUFFERS on the banks of the Adour; there they are carefully washed and scoured, and stripped of the rags that cover them. These horrid are then burnt and new cloths are given to all the prisoners. The officers who are suffered to go at large through the city, give the following particulars about Sarragossa. All the troops of the line would have surrendered long ago, they knew they could not stand when they found the city was invested, but it was not in their power to capitulate, they were under the control of the vilest populace, the monks would have hung any one that would have spoken of surrender. These wretches were induced to capitulate only when they saw two thirds of the city destroyed. Palafax who had been confined to his bed for several days previous is now dead, they say. A most shocking epidemic rages through the city, in consequence of the long resistance and privation of every thing, it has caused the death of more than 20,000 of the inhabitants, according to the information of the prisoners. FROM OUR ENGLISH PAPERS. EMBDEN, March, 4. The French army of the Rhine under the Duke of Anerstadt (Davoust) has broken up from its cantonment in the countries of Gotha, Hanau, &c. and is now on its march to the Danube.—The Staff of the army was on the 17th ult. removed from Erfurth, for the purpose of being established at Ulm. The army under General Oudinot which on the 20th ult. is head-quarters at Augsburg, at that date, comprised nearly 30,000 men. Some Dutch regiment have passed the Mein on their march to Franconia.—Several divisions of French troops from the Duchy of Berg, &c. have taken the same rout, and all the carriages and horses in the countries through which they passed, were put in requisition for their conveyance. A French army is to be formed in Saxony, with which the forces of the confederation of the Rhine are to act; several Westphalian regiments were on the 20th ult. under orders to proceed thither. The French have already established an army of between 40 and 50,000 men in Italy, within a few miles of the Austrian frontiers. The Dalmatian army under Markmont has been broken up, for the purpose of forming this new corps, but at present it consists chiefly of Italians. A reserve is forming near Brescia and is to be joined by a body of Swiss troops. It is understood that Massena is again to have the command of the Italian army. Count Mier arrived at Viena on the 12th Feb. with dispatches from Count Metternich, the Austrian ambassador at Paris communicating, it is stated, the final decision of Bonaparte on the subject of his differences with the Emperor Francis. Messengers were immediately dispatched to Petersburg, Berlin, and Copenhagen, as also to the several Austrian Governments, and orders were given for the necessary arrangements preparatory to placing the militia on permanent duty. The Messenger, Napper, arrived from Paris on the 14th, and stated, that previous to his departure, the tradesmen belonging to the Austrian Embassy had been directed to furnish their several accounts, in order to their being discharged. Gordons of troops has been formed along the whole extent of the Austrian frontiers, and no person is permitted to pass without a passport from the Imperial Aulic chamber at Vienna. One hundred and fifty bakers at Vienna, had been put in requisition for the service of the army. The Austrians are making great exertions to fortify the city of Ems, in Upper Austria, and have appointed 6000 soldiers and a like number of peasants to that service. The cabinet of Vienna, with a view to the farther augmentation of their army, has ordered the first & second battalion of reserve to be gradually incorporated with the regiments of the line, and has directed that the third battalion of reserve be immediately formed. The Duke of Friuli (Duroc) accompanied by one of Bonaparte's aides de

camp, on the night of the 2d ult passed through Frankfort, charged with an important mission to the court of St. Petersburg.
Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia, has issued a decree for calling out his contingents of conscripts on active service; and 25000 more, who are to form a reserve, to be taken from the young men born in 1788.
The reports of an early adjustment of differences which subsist between Russia and Britain, had induced a considerable reduction in the price of colonial produce in the former country.
It is stated that, the Emperor Alexander had appointed Prince Protosowky, who commands the Prussian armies in Moldavia and Wallachia his plenipotentiary at the Congress of peace with the Porte.
The die, at last, is cast in Germany. The whole empire exhibits one scene of military movements.
SPIRIT OF HOLLAND.
Louis Bonaparte was at Utrecht, taking measures to relieve the country, suffering under the inundations, when he received dispatches from Napoleon, requiring the immediate march of 15,000 Dutch troops into Bavaria, to act with the French army under the duke of Auerstadt. & expressing an expectation that another corps of like force would be in readiness to take the same route by the middle of March. Louis sent off couriers to Amsterdam, &c. calling his ministers and counsellors of state at Utrecht, where after much deliberation his council declared to him the incompetency of the nation to sustain the burthens of a new war, and protested against the employment of so large a force in a service so unconnected with the interests of the country. Several regiments were however, immediately put in motion and had at the date of the last accounts arrived, on the Main.
GREENOCK, March 17.
The foreign papers make a war between France and Austria inevitable. The archduke Charles is appointed sole dictator of military operations. The Dutch council of state has remonstrated involving Holland in a new war.
Our London correspondent after mentioning the raising of the twenty-four hours embargo in Sweden, adds the Sublime Porte will immediately join Austria, in the war against France.
LONDON, March 13.
The Russians we learn, have marched a body of troops on the ice across the Gulf of Bothnia, captured the Swedish Island of Aland, and were preparing the boats for an expedition to Sweden proper. The distance from Aland to the main is about 30 miles.
STOCKHOLM, March 6.
Private letters from Holland speak with less confidence of the probability of a war between Austria and France, but they contain nothing to indicate whether the former has been influenced by the acknowledged excellent state of the Austrian army, considering the work which it has on its hand in Spain, or whether Austria has been induced by the apprehension of danger, to manifest a ten-potizing policy to an enemy who only wants an opportunity completely to overturn her weight in the scale of Nations.
PHILADELPHIA, May 3.
Arrived this morning, the British ship Recovery, captain Th: Jefferson. 40 days from Liverpool. By this arrival we have received London papers to the 17th March, and Liverpool to the 20th - their contents however are unusually destitute of interest. Independently of the articles given in the preceding columns, we find nothing in these prints worthy of attention. They are entirely devoted to the discussions in the case of the Duke of York. A debate of great length is given in the Star, of the 15th March, which was terminated by the final vote on the subject, as follows.
For the motion to acquit Ayes 384 Against it, 123
Maj. in favour of the Duke, 241 It will be observed by a short article in this day's Gazette, that although his Royal Highness has escaped the stigma of corruption in his office of Commander in Chief, the scrutiny which has been had into his conduct, has developed many instances of gross misconduct and indiscrimination; and that although he has eluded public punishment the enquiry has produced the salutary effect of drawing him back to a sense of his public and private duties.
A Commercial arrangement had been made between Great Britain and Sweden.
It is evident, by numerous accounts from the Continent, that a war between Austria and France, is actually about to commence, and it was strongly rumoured that Russia and Prussia were about to unite their strength with Austria in a grand struggle to check the overwhelming and unquenchable ambition of France.
The English papers to the 17th contain no additional advices from Spain.
Scott county, April 18th, 1809. Taken up by Paris Griffith, on Eagle creek, a shaggy sorrel mare, grey hair in her tail, main and sail has lately been trimmed, hoof before, fourteen hands high, nine or ten years old, appraised to $40. George Berry.

ST. LOUIS, APRIL 19, 1809
Letters have been this day received by his excellency Governor Lewis, and Brigadier General Clark, from Lieut. King, commanding officer of the Garrison of Belle Vue, on the Mississippi; and from Mr. Johnson United States Factor at that post from which we have been desired to republish the following extracts:
FROM LT. KINGSLEY, OF THE 11TH CUR-RENT.
"At the time I wrote you by Lt. Pryor I was doubtful, as to the friendship of the Indians in this quarter. Those doubts have been dissipated by the recent occurrences; and I am now convinced that they are disposed for hostilities, and delay only to obtain those first advantages, which might lead to ultimate success."
"I have slept but little for three nights past: we labour all day and lie on our arms all night. If no accident happens, we shall move into the new Fort in five days from this time. This Fort I will pledge myself to defend, against two thousand Indians; provided I am supplied with small cannon for the Block-house, with the necessary ammunition, and with two or three good men to act as spies. In our defences we have the most vigilant precautions been adopted. Fires have been kept up at the distance of one or two hundred yards from the Fort, in order that the approaches of an enemy might be more readily discovered, at the same time that they be ve for the concealment of our own movements."
From Mr. Johnson of the 12th Current.
"We have now, in sight of the Garrison, on the opposite side of the river, the whole nation of the Sacs, who have been counselling and trading here, for ten days. They declare themselves our friends, tho' we are somewhat disposed to distrust the sincerity of their professions. The only evidences, however, of a contrary disposition, occurred two days ago. The chiefs were in council with Mr. Kingsley and myself when a dancing party came up, and asking permission to dance round the Garrison. One of the gates having been opened near the guard-house, they attempted to force in by a crowd. The guard put themselves in a position to charge bayonet, and were obliged to retreat a few steps, or run them through. The cannon was drawn up and charged, which put a stop to the dancing. They returned out of the fort with a yell."
Mr. Jarvis, who arrived here two days before this took place, informed us that the plan of the Indians, as he had been told by the traders, was to take the Garrison and factory; that this was to be accomplished under the fair disguises of trade and council; that as soon as they should have secured the apprehensions, and quieted the suspicions of the Garrison, by these pretences, the tomahawk and the scalping knife would complete the work.
"The whole nation, men women and children are now here. They talk of leaving us to-morrow."
Messrs. Blakely and Poirier were the traders who have made presents to the Olages. They have also been selling Whiskey during the whole winter to the Indians, and have now in Julien's care six barrels, which Lieut. Kingsley will take this day. These times oblige us to be alert. Six days more, and the troops will move in to the Fort, when we bid defiance to the Indians, if the contractors boat will only come on."
From the foregoing statements, combined with the miscellaneous observations of Messrs. Kingsley and Johnson in various parts of their letters, we are authorised to say, that the hostile dispositions of the Indians of the Mississippi, and the Puant's and Sac's particularly, can be no longer doubted.
It is not the interest and honor of the U. States alone, to maintain the establishment at Belle Vue, the peace, security and happiness of this territory also require it. The massacre of that Garrison would put the Indians in possession of such military stores, and provisions as would enable them to carry on a successful warfare on our frontiers, and perhaps into the heart of our populous and flourishing settlements. A prompt and timely check will repress that ardor and confidence, which such a triumph would necessarily create.
Messrs Poirier and Blakely mentioned in the letter of Mr. J. Julien, are British subjects and partners of the Macinac company. The presents alluded to where given by them to the Olages, when on a visit to the Sacs last winter, with the avowed purposes of the engaging them in a hostile combining against the United States.
The Olages are not disposed for war: they have resisted the repeated solicitations of the confederacy of the Mississippi, and drawn on themselves the hostility of the Sacs, as well as other tribes, over which the British traders have obtained a venal and surreptitious influence.
By an arrangement made twelve days ago as we understand between governor Lewis and captain House commanding the cannonments on the Mississippi, the latter gentleman left Belle Vue on the 12th for Belle Vue, with 16 regulars; two boats loaded with provisions, artillery, ammunition and other supplies, for the reinforcement of Lt. Kingsley, in anticipation of those difficulties which have since occurred, and which are alluded to in the general orders lately issued by the governor.
It ought to be added that all the concurring accounts from the Indian country demonstrate the correctness and propriety of the precautionary measures adopted in those orders.
VINCENNES, May 6.
We have this day received information from St. Louis, which puts beyond a doubt, the hostile dispositions of the Indians of the Mississippi. They have it appears attempted to take fort Belvue, but happily did not succeed.
It affords us great pleasure to state that governor Harrison, has authorised us to say, that nothing has occurred to induce him to change his opinion of the friendly disposition of the Wabash tribes.
From the Philadelphia Gazette.
In the case of the United States, vs. Michael Bright and others, the circuit court decided on the special verdict, that the defendants were Guilty; and yesterday afternoon, the prisoners being placed at the bar, the district attorney addressed the court, and said, that in compliance with his duty, he called upon the court to pronounce the sentence of the law. This duty, the most painful he had ever been called to perform, he would on his own responsibility, have omitted to perform for the present, if the attorney general of Pennsylvania, on behalf of the constituted authorities of the state, had or would require it. No reply was made by the counsel for the defendants. Judge Washington then rose and addressed the prisoners as follows:
A concluding period has now arrived to the long and deplorable contest, in which you have been, we believe, under mistaken notions of duty, most unfortunate for the character of our common country, and peculiarly of this respectable part of it, engaged. The origin of controversy is lost sight of in the more important and dangerous consequences which have grown out of it. If the matter of which you unhappily permitted yourselves to be made the instruments, had not been checked in its commencement, it might by its effects and example have swelled into an irresistible torrent, prostrating in its course the liberties, the laws, the happiness and the safety of the nation.
That this was the object, or that this was the melancholy catastrophe either intended or desired, we have not the most distant belief. But such must be the result, when arms are opposed to laws, and force is resorted to in resistance to the deliberate and disinterested decrees of the tribunals of Justice, or the lawful acts of the other departments of our government. In the members of this court there exists no other feeling or recollection than such as the most sincere regrets inspire, that the occurrences we so much deplore have arisen from decisions in which we have in our respective stations had a share.
We should be unworthy of the responsible stations in which we are placed, if we suffered any other than public motive connected with a sense of duty, to influence our conduct. Our task has been a painful one, but we have endeavoured to perform it with impartiality. We reflect with pleasure that every opportunity was offered for discussion, and that this case has been conducted with greater latitude and range of arguments, than perhaps would have been strictly right on common occasions. Every thing has been done and said which could contribute to a clear understanding of the case. The decision has been made on the law as it arises on the facts found by the Jury, too plain and palpable to admit of difficulty or doubt, with the most entire conviction and belief of its rectitude.
It is obvious that you have mistaken a supposed duty which you presumed you owed to the constituted authorities of your particular state, while you were opposing the laws of the United States and violating predominant obligations. None more highly appreciate than we do, the military spirit of our fellow citizens, and the discipline and subordination of our militia. These attributes when required in laudable and necessary efforts for the support of the laws, or for the safety of our country, are highly commendable. But when employed as yours have been, in measures of resistance to established principles of the constitution and in violation of the peace and good order of the nation, they become destructive in their immediate effects, and widely mischievous in their example. We do not say this reproachfully, being persuaded that you act under mistaken notions of duty; it becomes us at the same time to express in pointed terms our disapprobation. As it has been your lot to be engaged in a measure which, on reflection hereafter, you cannot yourselves approve; it should alleviate any unpleasant consequences you may experience in your situations, that nothing will wipe away the unfortunate stain on our republican system.
but submission to the correction of the laws, not vindictive, but exemplary and salutary. If physical force is rendered nerveless by the superior power of the laws, we need not regard the reproaches nor the predictions of those unfriendly to republican forms of Government.
It does not lie with us to enter into those considerations which belong exclusively to another department of the government. Our duty is prescribed and we must obey. Instances in other cases have occurred, wherein the imperative obligations of duty have induced decisions contrary to the wishes and feelings of those who gave them. Your case, and particularly that of the commanding officer is less susceptible of apology than those alluded to. You were called upon to act in an enlightened city, where the means of information on legal and political subjects are particularly great, and where it was in your power at any moment to have obtained the best advice as to the obligation of the orders you received. If you listened to improper counsel, we can only lament the circumstance.
It is our duty, however unpleasant the exercise of it, to pronounce the following sentences in your several cases, and in fixing the degree of punishment, we have not been inattentive to every circumstance which has been offered in your favour. The triumph of the laws over military force arrayed against them, is sufficient for their objects. The measure of punishment is in our comparative importance. Example and not severity is dictated by our duty and has been our aim.
The sentences of the Court are that you Michael Bright, be imprisoned for the term of three months and pay a fine of two hundred dollars to the United States, and that you James Atkinson, William Cole, Charles Westfall, Samuel Wilkins, Abraham Ogden, Daniel Puyle, Charles Hong and John Knipe, be severally imprisoned for the term of one month, and severally pay a fine of fifty dollars to the United States, and stand committed till these sentences are complied with.
The Marshal immediately conducted the prisoners to jail where they are now confined. All was transacted in peace and tranquility and to the honor of our city be it mentioned that the demands of the law have been satisfied without tumult or riot.
PHILADELPHIA, May 9.
Gen. Bright, and the other citizens of the militia, who were sentenced to fine and imprisonment for resisting the execution of the laws of the United States, in the case of Olmstead, were yesterday evening released; the President of the United States having in special form remitted both species of penalty, considering the law as satisfied, as far as relates to those citizens, who acted under the erroneous orders of the governor of the state.
London papers by the ship Ann have been received at New-York to the 26th March. Passengers state that Bonaparte had left Paris for the Rhine. It appears, from a hasty perusal of the London papers, that great activity pervades the hostile courts and armies of Europe. Indeed, figuratively, the whole continent is in a state of fusion. Sweden in rebellion; war raging through Saxony, Austria, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The duke of York has resigned. The earl of Chatham, or as others say, sir David Dundas, is appointed to succeed him.
A flag of Truce arrived at Dover from Bologna with dispatches, which were immediately forwarded to London.
By the brig Nancy and Katy, Capt. Oliver, arrived this morning in 14 days from St. Bartholemews, accounts have been received of Admiral Cochrane's having taken the Saints, and captured the French squadron which had taken refuge in the harbor. Another account (see the following paragraph) says that the French squadron had slipped their cables & had succeeded in making their way to Guadeloupe. It will be observed, that on the 15th admiral Cochrane was engaged in throwing shells into the Saints, so that the probability is that by the 24th or 25th, the date of capt. Oliver's accounts, he had succeeded in his enterprise, the former accounts to the contrary notwithstanding.
By the schr. Maria, Grat, from St. Barts, we learn that on the 15th of April the French fleet were blocked in the Saints by Ad. Cochrane's fleet - that on the 16th they slipped their cables and on the 17th they got into Baillaterre, where they landed their stores, &c. [Mer. Adv.]
Extract of a letter from St. Bartholomews received at New York, dated April 18 - "We had an account yesterday of Admiral Cochrane having made an attack on the French squadron at the Saints, with six line of battle ships and several frigates." - [N. Y. Gaz.]
LONDON, March 21.
There is no doubt of hostilities having commenced upon the continent, and this information we communicated last night in part of our impression. The Dutch papers to the 18th, which arrived last night, make no mention of this event, though they are full of the movements of troops, confess that the last hopes of peace have vanished, and state that the French minister has left Vienna. The account of the commencement of hostilities is contained in private letters. The first blow was in a quarter where we did not expect it. Gen. Marmont the commander in chief of the French army in Dalmatia, resolved to make an attempt to surprise Trieste, a most important point. He advanced in a heavy storm of snow with about 20,000 men. But this movement was suspected by the Austrians, who had time to take necessary precautions, and advanced from Trieste to meet the enemy. They came up with them at no great distance from the town, and an obstinate engagement took place, in which the French were defeated with considerable loss, and were pursued by the Austrians some miles. The capture of Trieste would have been of immense importance to the French.
It is strongly reported, that instead of proclamation by the emperor Francis,
France had declared war against Austria, and that the declaration was published at Paris on the 17th inst.
The treaty between Great Britain and Spain, we understand was signed on Wednesday; but some articles not yet precisely adjusted, are left for future arrangement.

GREENVILLE SPRINGS, MERCER COUNTY, KENTUCKY.
THE subscriber has made the greatest exertions since the last season, to render this pleasant, agreeable and convenient, as any watering place in America; and is happy in announcing its progress now to announce to the public, that he has been so far successful as to be able to accommodate, with convenience to himself, a comfort to visitors, more than double the number that were entertained the last year. Besides finishing the buildings that were then commenced, he will, in a few weeks, have erected more than double the quantity; among which are several porches, one of which is 112 feet long, designed for the convenience of such part of the company as may choose occasionally to assemble together. His ball room is elegantly finished, and he has erected, in addition to his former stables, one that will conveniently accommodate upwards of one hundred horses; he has also considerably enlarged his pastures.
This place is situated as near the centre of the state as any place of any notoriety; it is within a short day's ride of Frankfort, Lexington, and several other flourishing towns in different directions. It is surrounded by a fertile country, rich and populous settlements, and is directly in the vicinity of two pleasant and flourishing villages, one of which is Danville, at which can be had as good accommodations, and as elegant fare as is to be met with in this state; and being only eight miles distant from this place, with a fine road between them, makes a very pleasant and agreeable morning or evening's ride.
As to the efficacy of the water, it has been attested by not only the visitors at the two former seasons, but by near fifteen hundred who were here last season, among whom were some of the most eminent physicians in the western country, all of whom concurred in attributing to it, all the virtue that water could possess. Its direct effects are, sudorific, diuretic and cathartic, and more particularly and universally the latter, leaving the bowels invariably in a laxative habit; it has been used with great success in the gravel, rheumatism, breast complaints, cholie, general debility, and all kinds of nervous and bilious affections; and it possesses equal virtue at any season of the year, being neither increased by floods nor diminished by droughts.
Visitors may rest assured, that no exertions will be wanting to accommodate them to their entire satisfaction; and the best bands of music are engaged to attend during the present season, for the amusement of dancing parties.

The Kentucky Hotel. THE Subscriber has leased of Mr. Henry Clay, for a term of years, that valuable stand for a Tavern, in the town of Lexington, formerly known by the name of Travellers' Hall, where he has opened a Hotel under the above title. The situation of this property, on the public square, directly opposite the North East front of the court house, and in the centre of business, gives it peculiar advantages. Great expense has been incurred in repairs and improvements, and in point of space, convenience and comfort the apartments of the house are surpassed by none. A stable has been erected on the back part of the lot, which he ventures to pronounce is the best in the state, which will be under the immediate superintendence of Mr. William T. Barton. He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate and render agreeable the time of those who may favor him with their custom; and he trusts that from the attention which he means personally to give to every department of his business, he will be found to merit that patronage which he thus presumes to solicit from the public.

Lexington, Jan. 1st, 1809. Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine. THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Coobon's Patent for a machine, for breaking hemp and flax. One of those machines is now in operation on Maddox Fisher's farm, near this place, and is found admirably to answer the purpose for which it was intended. A machine with two breaks, is worked by one horse with ease, and requires six hands to attend it. One of the great advantages of this machine is, that it can be attended by women or boys, instead of men, and that a woman or boy can clean double the quantity of hemp or flax, which the most able-bodied man could do in the same time with a common hand-break. A farther account of the machine is deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed that those desirous of purchasing rights, will wish to satisfy themselves by seeing it in operation. Individual rights at twenty dollars, or rights for whole counties, may be procured by applying to either of the subscribers. Maddox Fisher, Joseph Borswell, David Sutton, John Fisher, Geo. Laws.
HAVING been called upon to state our opinion of a machine for breaking hemp and flax, which we saw in operation on Mr. Maddox Fisher's farm, we hesitate not to declare that we view it as an important acquisition to our state, and therefore recommend it to the attention of every farmer who cultivates either hemp or flax. The construction of the machine is simple and does not appear likely to get out of order. We suppose that one of those machines having two breaks and moved with ease by one horse, might be built for about 30 or 40$. We have no hesitation in stating that hemp may be broken in much greater quantities with the same labour, and with ease to the hands employed, and that much delay, severe labour, and considerable expense might be saved to hemp raisers by the erection of these machines. T. T. Barr, Wm. W. Worsley, C. Coles, Bushrod Bouswell, Robert R. Barr. Lexington, April 8th, 1809.

SELIM is a superbly formed Horse, fourteen and a half hands high, possessing more bone and muscle than any horse in America of his size, and no doubt can be entertained of his being a genuine Arabian. Pasturage for mares gratis, but no responsibility. Feb. 28th, 1809. B. GRAVES.
I do hereby certify, that I have bred two years from the genuine and uncommonly fine Arabian horse Selim, and that his colts are large and fine, and in my opinion not inferior to any ever foaled mine, both as to size and form. From the manner in which I became possessed of this horse, there can be no doubt of his being the best blood Arab horse as produced, as he was presented by Mordaunt to Gen. Abercromby, who intended him for England, where he would have been taken had the General not have died. After his death Maj. Ramsey, a British officer purchased him and sold a part of him to commodore Baron, who brought him to America. For the half of this horse I gave commodore Baron $1500. This horse I have sent out to Maj. Benjamin Graves, near Lexington Kentucky. Given under my hand, this 10th of November, 1808. John Tayloe. Mount Airy, Virginia. We the subscribers do certify, that we have seen several of the colts gotten by the Arabian horse Selim, and think them in no degree inferior to those got by the most celebrated horses. Ephraim Beasley, William Monlay, David Johnston.
Prince William county, Virg. I do hereby certify, that I put a small blooded mare to the Arabian horse Selim, last year, and she produced me a very fine colt, both as to size, beauty and strength, and indeed far exceeded my expectations from the mare—I am further say, that I have seen other colts got by Selim, and think myself a judge of horse flesh, and do declare they are in my opinion fine and large. William Holburn. Richmond county, 10th Nov. 1808. I have seen the colts alluded to by Mr. Holburn, and agree with him in opinion. Given under my hand, this 11th day of November, 1808. Benjamin Boughton. I do certify that when I went to Hampton after Selim, for John Tayloe esq. that I saw a colt of Laurence Gibson's of Yorktown, Virginia, rising two years old, got by Selim out of a very small mare—it was uncommonly large, and among the finest colts I ever saw. Gibson had been offered 300 for it—and the report of the people in the lower country was, that its colts were uncommonly fine. Given under my hand this 9th day of January, 1809. James Estlin. I do certify, that I have a colt got by Selim, out of a small mare, which is large and handsome—and I do think equal to the get of any horse in Virginia. Given under my hand this 9th day of Jan. 1809. John Stone. The above mentioned colt was foaled about the 1st of June last, and is upwards of four feet three inches high. John Stone.

Notice. FOR any sized man, I make any kind of garment, by looking at him, that is, by sight—Gentlemen or ladies' dress, and do not measure them at all. I examine a person in a time from three seconds till five seconds, and not longer; and the person need not come nearer to me than twelve feet. This practice I have followed for three years. The first year, I was travelling off and on, in different places, I cut, and cut and made, forty five suits; and the two last years, when I lived in West-Tennessee, in Franklinton, Williamson county, I cut, cut and made three hundred suits. I can therefore assure those who may think proper to employ me, that I will make any kind of garment, to fit any sized person, by the rule above mentioned, and no other. I live on Main-street, three doors below Cross-street. Gentlemen, don't dispute, only try me. Abraham Beard, from West-Prussia. Lexington, May 8, 1809.
