Euryalus, off Cadiz, Oct. 24.
SIR, In my letter of the 22d, I detailed to you for the information of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the proceedings of his majesty's squadron on the day of the action, and that proceeding it, since which I have had a continued series of misfortunes, but they are of a kind that human prudence could not possibly provide against, or my skill prevent.
On the 22d in the morning a strong southerly wind blew, with squally weather, which however did not prevent the activity of the officers and seamen of such ships as were manageable from getting hold of as many of the prizes (thirteen or fourteen) and towing them off to the westward, where I ordered them to rendezvous round the Royal Sovereign, in tow by the Neptune; but on the 23d the gale increased, and the sea ran so high, that many of them broke the tow rope, and drifted far to leeward, before they were got hold of again, and some of them taking advantage in the dark and boisterous night, got before the wind, and have perhaps drifted upon the shore and sunk; on the afternoon of that day the remnant of the Combined Fleet, ten sail of ships, who had not been much engaged, stood up to leeward of my shattered and straggled charge as if meaning to attack them, which obliged me to collect a force out of the least injured ships, and form to leeward for their defence; all this retarded the progress of the Huts, and the bad weather continuing, determined me to destroy all the leewardmost that could be cleared of the men, considering that keeping possession of the ships was a matter of little consequence compared with the falling again into the hands of the enemy; but even this was an arduous task in the high sea which was running.
I hope, however, it has been accomplished to a considerable extent; I entrusted to its skillful officers, who would spare no pains to execute what was possible.—The Captains of the Prince and Neptune cleared the Trinidad and sunk her. Captains Hope, Baynton, and Malcolm, who joined the fleet this moment from Gibraltar, had the charge of destroying four others.—The Redoubtable took after of the Swiftsure while in tow. The Santa Anna, I have no doubt, is sunk, as her side was almost entirely beat in; and such is the shattered condition of the whole of them, that unless the weather moderates I doubt whether I shall be able to carry a ship of them into port. I hope their Lordships will approve of what I (having only in consideration the destruction of the enemy's fleet) have thought a measure of absolute necessity.
I have taken Admiral Villeneuve into this ship, Vice-Admiral Don Aliva is dead. Whenever the temper of the weather will permit, and I can spare a Frigate (for there were only four in the action with the fleet, Euryalus, Sirius, Phoebe and Naiad; the Melpomene joined the 22d, and the Eurydice and Scout the 23d) I shall collect the other Flag Officers, with their flags and send them to England, if they do not all go to the bottom, to be laid at his Majesty's feet.
There were four thousand troops embarked under the command of General Contamin, who was taken with Admiral Villeneuve in the Bucentaure.
I am, Sir, &c. (Signed) C. COLLINGWOOD.
GENERAL ORDER.
EURYALUS, OCTOBER 22, 1805.
The ever to be lamented death of Lord Viscount Nelson, Duke of Bronte, the commander
in chief, who fell in the action of the 21st in the arms of victory covered with glory, whose memory will be ever dear to the British Nation, whose zeal for the honor of his King and the interest of his country, will be ever held as a shining example for a British seamen, leave to me a duty to return my thanks to the Right Honorable Rear Admiral, the Captains, Officers, Seamen, and detachments of Royal Marines serving on board his Majesty's Squadron now under my command, for their conduct on that day; but where can I find language to express my sentiments of the valor and skill which were displayed by the officers, the seamen and marines, in the battle with the enemy, where every individual appeared an hero, on whom the glory of his country depended: the attack was irresistible, and the issue of it adds to the page of naval annals, a brilliant instance of what Britons can do, when their king and their country need their service.
To the Right Honorable Rear Admiral the Earl of Northesk, to the Captains, Officers, and Seamen, and to the Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, and privates of the Royal Marines, I beg to give my sincere and hearty thanks for their highly meritorious conduct, both in the action, and in their zeal and activity in bringing the captured ships out of the perilous situation in which they were, after their surrender, among the shoals of Trafalgar, in boisterous weather.
And I desire that the respective captains will be pleased to communicate to the officers, seamen, and royal marines, this public testimony of my high approbation of their conduct, and my thanks for it. (Signed) C. COLLINGWOOD.
To the Right Honorable Rear Admiral the Earl of Northesk, and the respective Captains and Commanders.
Just before the late naval battle commenced, Lord Nelson was unusually animated—He said to Capt. Harvey, "Now they cannot escape us—I think we shall at least make sure of twenty of them—I shall probably lose a leg, but that will be purchasing a victory cheaply." It will be recollected, that Lord Nelson had been wounded twenty-three times: and lost one arm and one eye. It is said he never was in action but once, (at Copenhagen) without receiving a wound. The Victory (of 100 guns) his flag ship, being lashed to the Santissima Trinidad, (of 130 guns), his Lordship was exposed to the fire from the Spanish tops. He wore the insignia of the Bath, the Crescent, and other orders which he had achieved; this rendered him a conspicuous mark for the Spanish marines—Capt. Hardy frequently intreated him to shift his coat; but his mind was too much occupied with the scene to think of personal danger. About the middle of the action he received a ball which passed through his left breast and lungs. He fell instantly: was carried below; and lived about an hour, during which he was perfectly collected and displayed the same firmness in the arms of death, as in every action of his life. A few minutes before he expired, he sent for Capt. Harvey, and asked him, how many of the enemy's ships had struck.—The Captain answered, as near as he could ascertain, fifteen, his Lordship then fervently thanked the Almighty; and turning to capt. H. said, "I know I am dying; I could have wished to survive to breathe my last on British ground; but the will of God be done." In a few moments he expired. His last orders by telegraphic, were, "England expects every man will do his duty." Thus died, in the 48th year of his age, the greatest commander that ever adorned the British Navy.
The scarcity of provisions obliged Admiral Villeneuve to leave Cadiz; and he had orders to risk an action, if he found the British fleet was materially diminished—When Lord Nelson about the first of October dispatched Ad. Louis with seven sail of the line to Tetuan for provisions and water, he expected, of course, the French and Spaniards would come out and give battle; and then he communicated his new plan of attack to all his captains; who pronounced it great; and pledged their lives for the result. The number of killed and wounded will probably exceed 1000. The victory is said to have lost 150 men.
The remains of Lord Nelson are to be brought to England for interment.
Vice Admiral Collingwood is appointed Commander in chief in the Mediterranean, with the same unlimited powers Lord Nelson had.
Highly Interesting account of the Success of the French Armies—from a Paris paper of Oct. 26. CONSERVATIVE SENATE.
Extracts of the Journals of the Conservative Senate of Thursday the 2d Brumaire, year 14.
At one o'clock, in the afternoon, the members of the Senate assembled by virtue of an extraordinary convocation ordered by his Imperial Highness Prince Joseph, Grand Elector.
His Imperial Highness Prince Louis, Constable. His Serene Highness the Prince Arch-

Chancellor of the Empire, and some of the ministers were present at the sitting.
It was opened under the Presidency of the Grand Elector, by the following speech delivered by His Imperial Highness.
SENATORS.
"In the midst of his triumphs, His Majesty the Emperor has felt the desire of giving to the Senate a new mark of his affection: This is the object of the Message which His Majesty orders me to lay before you."
"You will see, Gentlemen, that His Majesty longs to see the French youth take part in the new successes that await them."
"But already our young conscripts are in motion; they are all setting off or already departed."
"All the families know that, when their children repair to the grand army, they are going to range themselves under the guidance of the common father of the French, more avaricious of their blood than greedy of their glory."
"The Emperor and his army have surpassed the hopes of the nation; I am happy to be able to tell you that it answers in a manner worthy of it to the glorious call of its chief."
Bonaparte's Letters.
The Message of His Majesty the Emperor and King which His Imperial Highness caused to be read to the Assembly, was couched in the following terms:
SENATORS.
"I send you forty stand of colours conquered by my army in the different engagements which have taken place since that of Wertingen. It is a homage that I and my army do to the flags of the Empire. It is a present that children make to their fathers. Senators, behold in it a proof of my satisfaction for the manner in which you have constantly seconded me in the most important affairs of the Empire. And you, Frenchmen, make your brothers march, make them run to fight by our side, that without effusion of blood, without efforts, we may drive far from us all the armies that the gold of England is forming, and confound the auxiliaries of the oppressors of the seas. Senators, it is not a month since I told you, that your Emperor and his army would do their duty."
"Since my taking the field, I have dispersed an army of an hundred thousand men: I have made nearly the half of them prisoners; the rest are killed wounded, or deserted and reduced to the greatest consternation. These brilliant successes I owe to the love of my soldiers, to their constancy in supporting fatigue. I have not lost fifteen hundred men in killed or wounded. Senators, the first object of the war is already accomplished.—The Elector of Bavaria is re-established upon his throne. The unjust aggressors have been struck as if by a thunderbolt, and, with the help of God, I hope, in a short space of time, to triumph over my other enemies."

Fifth Bulletin (double) of the Grand Army.
Elchingen, 23rd Vendemaire year 14. (15th October, 1805.)
The engagements of Wertingen and Gunzburg have been succeeded by events of the highest importance, the actions of Albeck and Elchingen, the captures of Ulm and Memmingen.
Marshal Soult arrived on the 21st before Memmingen, surrounded it, and after different parleys, the commandant capitulated.
Nine battalions, two of which were grenadiers, have been made prisoners, a Major General, three Colonels, several superior Officers, ten pieces of artillery, a great quantity of baggage and ammunition of all kinds have been the result of this affair. All the prisoners were immediately sent off to head quarters.
At the same instant Marshal Soult set out on his march for Ochsenhausen, in order to come down upon Beberach and thus have it in his power to cut off the only retreat remaining to the Archduke Ferdinand.
On the other hand, on the 19th, the enemy made a sortie on the side of Ulm and attacked the division of Dupont, which occupied the position at Albeck. The action was obstinate to the last degree. Surrounded by 25,000 men, these 6,000 brave fellows made head against every thing and took 1,000 prisoners. These corps need fear nothing; they were the 9th light, 82d, 69th and 76th of the line.
On the 21st, the Emperor set off in person to the camp before Ulm and ordered the enemy's army to be invested. The first operation was to take possession of the bridge and possession of Elchingen.
On the 22d, at day break, Marshal Ney passed this bridge at the head of the division Loison. The enemy disputed with him the possession of Elchingen with 10,000 men, he was overthrown every where, lost 3,000 men in prisoners, including a Major General, and was pursued even into his intrenchments.
Marshal Lannes occupied the small heights which commanded the plain above the village of Pfuel. The riflemen got possession of the head of the bridge of Ulm; the confusion was extreme throughout the place. At this moment Prince Murat caused the division of Klein and Beaumont to manoeuvre; they routed the enemy's cavalry at every point.
On the 22d, Gen. Marmont occupied the posts of Unterkircher and Oberkircher at the mouth of the Iller in the Danube, and all the enemy's communications on the Iller.
On the 23d, at day break, the Emperor set out in person for Ulm. The corps of Prince Murat and those of Marshals Lannes and Ney, placed themselves in order of battle to make the assault and force the intrenchments of the enemy.
Gen. Marmont with the division of dragoons
or foot of Gen. Baraquay d'Hilliers, blockaded the town on the right bank of the Danube.
It is a most shocking day: The soldiers are up to their knees in dirt. The Emperor has not taken off his boots these 8 days.
Prince Ferdinand had filed along in the night towards Biberach, leaving twelve battalions in the town, and on the heights of Ulm, all of whom were taken with a great number of cannon.
Marshal Soult took possession of Biberach on the 23d in the morning.
Prince Murat is now pursuing the enemy's army, which is in a most ruinous state.
Of an army of 80,000 men, only 25,000 are left, and we have reason to hope that these 25,000 will not escape us.
Immediately after his arrival at Munich, Marshal Bernadotte, paroled the detachment of Gen. Krenmayer, took his equipage and several prisoners.
Gen. Krenmayer has evacuated the country, and recrossed the Inn. The Emperor's promise is thus realized, and the enemy driven out from Bavaria.
Since the beginning of the campaign we have taken more than 20,000 prisoners, 30 pieces of artillery and 20 stand of colours. It to this be added the detentions and deaths, it may be calculated that the Austrian army is reduced one half.
The Emperor has his head quarters to day, at the Abbey of Elchingen.
Sixth Bulletin of the Grand Army.
ELCHINGEN, 26th Ven. (Oct. 18.) The Austrian army was one of the finest Austria ever possessed; it was composed of 14 regiments of Infantry, forming the army, as it was called, of Bavaria, of 13 regiments of the army of the Tyrol, and of 5 regiments who came post from Italy, making 32 regiments of cavalry.
Ulm forms the point where a great number of roads end. General Mack conceived the scheme to make his divisions escape by each of these roads, and uniting them in the Tyrol and Bohemia. The divisions of Hohenzollern and Werneck filed off by the way of Haydenheim and a small division by that of Memmingen. But on the 20th, the Emperor hastened from Augsburg before Ulm, instantly disconcerted the enemy's schemes, and took possession of the bridge and position of Elchingen which remedied every thing.
Marshal Soult, after taking Memmingen, set out in pursuit of the other columns. Finally, Prince Ferdinand had no other resource left than to suffer himself to be shut up in Ulm or to try to rejoin, by cross roads, the division of Hohenzollern; he adopted the latter resolution and set off for Aalen with four squadrons of cavalry.
The Emperor crossing a vast number of prisoners an Austrian Colonel testified his astonishment on seeing the French Emperor wet thro', covered with dirt, as much and more fatigued than the lowest drummer in the army. One of his aid-de-camps having explained to him what the Austrian officer had said, the Emperor replied. "Tell him that his Master wished to bring to my mind that I was a soldier; I hope he will now allow that the Imperial throne and purple have not made me forget my first vocation."
The spectacle which the army presented on the 23d was truly interesting. For two days the rain fell by pailsful, every man was wet thro' the soldier had no food and was up to his knees in dirt, the sight of the Emperor restored him to gaiety, and as soon as he saw whole columns in the same state, he made the air echo with the cries of long live the Emperor .
The Emperor, when the army occupied the heights which command Ulm, sent for Prince Lichtenstein, major general, shut up in that place, to inform him that he wished it would capitulate, telling him that if he took it by assault, he should be obliged to do as he had done at Jaffa, where the garrison were put to the sword—that it was the melancholy right of war, that he wished he and the brave Austrian nation might be spared the necessity of so dreadful an act; that the place was not tenable and ought to surrender. The Prince insisted that the officers and soldiers should have the liberty of returning into Austria, I grant it to the officers but not to the soldiers, replied the Emperor, for who will answer to me for their not serving anew. Then, after hesitating a moment he added, "Well, I will trust to Prince Ferdinand's word. If he is in the place, I will give him a proof of my esteem, and grant him what you ask, hoping the court of Vienna will not belie the word of one of its Princes." Upon which Prince Lichtenstein, assured him, that Prince Ferdinand was not in the place. Then I do not see, rejoined the Emperor, who can answer to me that the soldiers whom I may send back, shall not serve.

2. The departments shall direct their contingents to the corps, according to the statements No 2 and 3, three days subsequent to the publication of the present decree, which shall be sent by an extraordinary courier.
3. Our minister of war is charged with the execution of the present decree.
REPORT TO THE EMPEROR.
Paris, 3d complementary day.
SIR, Your majesty wished for peace: your armies on the coast were about to force England to subscribe to it, when the influence of that nation seems to have contrived to arise new enemies against France.
Some powers of the north dare to menace the empire. This show of war has roused in the hearts of all Frenchmen a desire to fly under the colours which victory has so often crowned.
The old soldiers especially, who, at the peace, returned, aspire to the honor of taking up arms again and of guiding the young conscripts in battle. Your majesty will accept this flight testimony of their attachment with kindness; but I must represent to you that there exists a law, by which every soldier who has an interruption in his service, is deprived of the advantages which his preceding service gave him.
I, in consequence, have the honor to propose to your majesty to decree, that the soldiers retired who are able to serve, shall be admitted to take up arms again in their former rank, and that their preceding services shall be counted to them.
The minister of war.
Signed, the Marshal BERTHIER. Napoleon, emperor of the French, king of Italy, upon the report of our minister of war, our council of state being heard; we have decreed and do decree what follows:
ARTICLE 1.
All the ancient petty officers and soldiers, bearers of an absolute discharge, or of a leave of retreat or of reform, capable of serving or of making war with activity, are admitted to join any of the corps of the army at their choice.
ARTICLE 2.
Every ancient soldier who shall unite the qualities necessary to be admitted into the corps which he shall have chosen, shall therein take his rank of seniority, and his ancient services shall be counted to him with the new, for military rewards.
ARTICLE 3.
The sergeants, quarter-masters, the corporals and brigadiers shall enjoy the same advantages; they shall moreover resume their rank in the corps which they shall join: in the cases wherein the employment of their rank are filled up, they shall serve as supernumeraries, and shall enjoy the pay of activity of the said rank, until the first vacancy, when they shall be put in footing, in preference to any other: the second vacancy shall belong to the present soldiers, the third to the petty officers called by the present decree, and thus alternately.
ARTICLE 4.
The ancient petty officers or soldiers shall present themselves to their municipality;—they shall declare the intention they have to join the corps they shall point out; there shall be delivered to them by the mayor a marching order to repair to the chef-lieu (principal place) of their department to the general officer or superior officer who commands there. The latter shall cause to be delivered to them, if they are able to serve, a marching order to repair to the corps they shall have chosen.
ARTICLE 5.
The said ancient petty officers and soldiers shall have the liberty to limit the time of their service.
They shall be clothed and equiped quite new upon their arrival at their corps—and their mass of linen, hose, shoes, &c. shall be counted by the public treasury.
ARTICLE 6.
Our minister of war and of the public treasury are charged, each in what concern him, with the execution of the present decree.

Previous to a decision on these resolutions, Mr. Bidwell rose and said that it was his wish to offer an additional resolution relative to a subject not embraced in them.
The Chairman observed that the resolutions first offered must in point of order be first decided upon, after which the resolution alluded to could be received, or it might be read in argument while they were under consideration.
The foregoing resolutions were then severally read and agreed to without a division.
Mr. Nicholson said he would offer another resolution, the substance of which was not embraced in the resolutions submitted by his friend from Virginia—viz.—
Resolved, That so much of the Message of the President of the U. States, as relates to the conduct of the belligerent powers towards the United States, and to the unjustifiable construction lately given by some of them to the law of nations as it regards the rights of neutrals, be referred to the Committee of Ways and Means.
Mr. Bidwell said this resolution embraced in some measure his object; but as it did not exactly comport with it, he would take the liberty of reading, by way of argument, the resolution which he had prepared. Mr. B. then read the following resolution:
Resolved, That so much of the Message of the President of the U. States, as relates to injuries done to us, as a neutral nation, by the interpretation of new, unjust and unacknowledged principles into the law of nations, be referred to a select committee, with instruction to enquire in what respects, and to what extent, our neutral rights have thus been violated, and what legislative measures the true interest of the U. States requires, to counteract such violations.

LONDON, Oct. 31. AMERICAN BOTTOMS. The following official communication will be read with much interest by the commercial world. It relates to a subject of much importance, and embraces consequences of the greatest magnitude. We shall offer no remarks on it at present.
"Great Cumberland Place, Oct. 28, 1805." "SIR, I have the pleasure to enclose you a copy of a Note from Lord Mulgrave, containing information that his Majesty has thought fit to relax in certain respects, the blockade of the ports of Cadiz and Lucar, which is now formed by his naval forces. "As the modification which is given to the blockade of these ports by this declaration of his Majesty, may be of importance to the United States, I have to request that you will be so good as to communicate it, without delay, to their Consuls at the several ports, that their citizens may have advantage of it. I have the honor to be, Sir, your very obliged servant. (Signed) "JAS. MUNROE. "General William Lyman, Consul of the United States, &c. &c. &c."
TO JAMES MUNROE, Esq. Downing Street, Oct. 27. "The undersigned, his Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has the honor to inform Mr. Munroe, that the King having been pleased in conformity to the Note transmitted by the undersigned to Mr. Munroe, on the 27th April last, to direct that the necessary measures should be taken for the blockade of Cadiz and St. Lucar, and such ports having been and being now blockaded, the undersigned is commanded to acquaint Mr. Munroe, that his Majesty is pleased to declare that such blockade shall not extend to prevent neutral vessels from entering into and sailing from the said ports of Cadiz and St. Lucar, provided, that the vessels so entering and sailing from the said ports shall not be found on board, or to have carried to said ports any warlike or naval stores, or any article or articles intended to be, and usually converted into warlike or naval stores or provisions of any kind whatever, excepting such as may be fairly deemed sea-stores, for the use of the crew of such neutral vessel. The undersigned is therefore commanded to request Mr. Munroe to apprise the American Consuls and Merchants residing in England of this determination of his Majesty. The undersigned requests Mr. Munroe to accept the assurances of his high consideration. (Signed) MULGRAVE,"
NEWPORT. THURSDAY—DECEMBER 26, 1805. We have been under the necessity of delaying the publication of the entertaining extracts from Dr. Cowdery's journal, to give place to the very interesting articles of foreign news with which the columns of this day's paper are filled. About a year ago, the "Mercury" informed its readers, that the timber purchased in the time of Mr. Adams's administration, for the purpose of building ships of 74 guns, was very imprudently sold, immediately after the election of Mr. Jefferson. But it has since officially appeared, by one of Mr. Jefferson's Messages to Congress, that this timber is still the property of the United States. Thus it is evident that the Editor of the Mercury in asserting that the timber was sold, was grossly mistaken. Now would he not render his readers a very essential service, by correcting this typographical error in his next paper? And after he has set an head to his Erratum, to save himself the trouble of setting another one in his next paper, he would do well to alter it to Errata , and correct an other error, which he has recently committed in publishing a pompous account of a battle between Dr. Leib and Mr. Nicholson: It now appears that there was no kind of foundation for that infamous story. ERRATUM. —In our paper of 12th ult. in the account of the large Ox, for Stag-Ox, read Flag-Ox. The following official article is transmitted to the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser in a letter from Spain, dated 28th September, [TRANSLATION.] The Director General of the Fleet, in his letter of the 25th ult. gives this notice to the Commandant General. "His Excellency the Secretary of State and of the Marine Department, communicates the following Royal Decree:— "His Excellency the Minister of the United States, complaining of the late depredations and capture of American vessels by Spanish privateers, gives notice of eleven vessels of his nation having been carried into Algerias under pretext of having on board English merchandise; His Majesty, thoroughly informed thereof has been pleased to resolve, that if there has been no other motive for the capture of the said vessels but the one represented by his excellency, they are to be immediately restored, agreeably to the fifteenth article of the treaty with the U. States, as the American flag protects the merchandise on board, even though it should be enemy's property. But if the motive be of a different nature, his majesty wishes that it should be determined according to law, and with all possible dispatch. I acquaint your excellency therewith by royal order, that notice may be given to the marine officers of the respective departments, requiring them to inform the commanders of all jurisdictions that the sitters out of privateers will be responsible for the injury they may occasion." Madrid 3d September, 1805.
Our last accounts from Amsterdam say: "The British still continue to take all American vessels bound to or from enemies ports." Interesting Decree. —We are informed, that Gen. Ferrand of the city of St. Domingo, has recently issued a proclamation in which he gives the names of the American vessels, captains, owners and shippers, who have carried on a trade with the blacks of St. Domingo, and ordered his privateers to bring in for confiscation every such vessels, or others, belonging to, or having on board, any article, even the most trifling, the property of the said captains, owners, or shippers. This decree is intended to operate to the seizure and condemnation of any vessel or property on the high seas, belonging to Americans who have in any way traded with the revolted Negroes of Hispaniola.

NOTICE TO SEA-FARING MEN.
An additional Light House has been erected by his Majesty the King of Denmark, upon the Island Christianoe , in the Baltic, which will contribute much to the safety of the Baltic navigation, there being several other small Islands and some shallows in its vicinity. The Light is reflected by nine large verberant mirrors, which turn round it in the space of three minutes, occasioning 9 glances of light within said time, or every 20 seconds a sudden light, disappearing again, when, the stationary light will be discernible at the same time, if the distance is not too great; its elevation is 92 Danish feet above the water. In the aforesaid manner it is easily distinguished from the fire light which some years ago was established on the Norderbruk of Bornholm, which burns without interruption, the light of which is 272 feet above the water, and which therefore can be seen at 5 leagues distant or more, in clear weather. The Light on Christianoe will be visible in winter half an hour after sunset, and in summer one hour after said time, which the undersigned H. D. Majesty's Consul is charged to make known. I. F. ECKARD. Philadelphia. 16th Dec. 1805.
LISBON, Sept. 19. "Bonaparte has demanded a contribution of ten millions of crusades from this government, as the price of the neutrality with which we have been hitherto indulged; this demand it is thought will be refused."
The Paris Monitor of the 8th Sept. contains the following article: "Madrid August 15, 1805." "The prince of peace having informed the king that the English merchants are in the habit of sending their goods of Cadiz in neutral vessels, under pretence of their being the merchandise of neutral nations, his majesty has ordered by a decree of the 1st of this abuse, the ordinances which prohibit the entrance of English merchandise into Spain, shall for the future be executed with the utmost rigor. Mr. Cavallos, our prime minister, has been appointed to the direction of the war department, which he has hitherto administered only ad interim ."

POETRY.
Remonstrance of ALMASA, wife of ALMAS.
ALI CAWN, of Gen. HASTINGS. MY subjects slaughter'd, my whole kingdom spoil'd, My treasures rifled, and my husband slain— O say, vile monster! art thou satisfy'd?
Curst be thy nation! and forever curs't The luckless hour when India first beheld you!— We have a custom here, as old as time, Of hour'ing justice—Why? because 'tis justice.
Hastings! my husband was your prisoner; The wealth of kingdoms flew to his relief; You took the ransom—and you broke your faith; Almas was slain—'Twas perjury to your soul!
Know, monster know, that the prodigious wealth You sold your soul for, was by justice gain'd— 'Twas not acquir'd by rapine, force, or murder—
The treasures of my fathers; theirs by conquest And legal dominion—from old time Transmitted by the father to the son, In just succession. Now you call it yours; And dearly have you purchas'd it; for, know, When the just God shall hear the cry of blood, And of your hands demand the souls you've murder'd,
That gold will never pay their price—will never pay Your awful ransom! you must go where Almas Sits on a lofty throne, and ev'ry hour He slays an Englishman, and sweetly feasts Upon his bloody heart and trembling liver!
Some brave like thee—perhaps thy relative— Laden with horrid crimes, without a name, Shall stalk on earth, and we want curses for him, We'll torture tho't to curse the wretch; and then, To damn him most supreme, we'll call him Hastings!
