American Captives in Tripoli.
The particulars of the unfortunate capture of the Philadelphia frigate by the Tripolitans, have already been before the public.—Dr. Cowdery, who was on board the frigate, was taken into captivity with the rest of his countrymen; but from circumstances which will transpire in this narrative, he had the good fortune to be permitted to visit all parts of the town, and many curiosities in the country—to see the manners and customs of the inhabitants, and to learn their characters and dispositions. He kept a regular journal from the time of his capture, to the day of his release, in which he noted as minutely as circumstances would admit, every thing novel or remarkable. Since his return he has obligingly favored us with a perusal of this journal; and has given us permission to select some parts of it for our paper. Edit. Bal.]
Extract from the Journal of Dr. Cowdery, kept during his captivity in Tripoli.
AFTER the flag of the Philadelphia was struck, and the officers and crew were waiting the pleasure of their new masters, the Tripolitan chiefs collected their favorites, and, with drawn sabres, fell to cutting and slashing their own men, who were stripping the Americans and plundering the ship. They cut off the hands of some, and it is believed several were killed. After this battle among themselves was a little over, we were ordered into the boats to be carried on shore. One of their officers, whom I had taken by the hand, and who promised me his friendship, came to me, took me by the arm, and told me I must go. I asked him to let my boy go with me, which he refused. I then took hold of my small trunk, which contained my best clothes. He gave me to understand that I could not take it, but should have every thing taken care of, and restored to me. He took me by the hand and hurried me over the side of the ship, while his other hand was employed in ridding my pockets, from which he took about ten dollars. I had concealed some gold in my clothes, which he did not find. I then went down into one of their boats from whence I was to pass into the next, which was almost full of our officers and men. I made all haste to get into it, for I observed that the Turks in the boat where I then was, were stripping my messmate Dr. Harwood, and the carpenter, Mr. Godby; but I was soon stopped by three of the Russians, who stood over me with drawn sabres and cocked pistols, and wrested my satchel from under my arm. Whilst they were picking its pockets, and quarreling with each other for the booty, I sprung for the next boat which was waiting for me. In my way, I met a little fellow, who seized me, and attempted to get off my coat; but I hurled him into the bottom of the boat, and jumped into the one which was waiting, amongst my fellow-officers, where, I thought the Turks were more civil. They then set off for the town, compelling our men to row the boat, and standing with drawn sabres over our heads. When we had got near the shore, they ordered our men to stop rowing. Two of them came to me and gave me a severe blow on the side of the head. They then searched me, and took a case of surgeon's instruments from my pocket. They took my pocket-book, but finding it contained nothing but papers, they returned it.—One took my silver pencil, and another the handkerchief from my neck. They then began upon Mr. Knight, sailing-master, Mr. Osborn, lieut. of marines, and all the officers in the boat, and plundered their pockets and took the handkerchiefs from their necks. They then landed us at the foot of the Bashaw's palace, where we were received by a guard who conducted us into the palace before the Bashaw. He viewed us with the utmost satisfaction, and had us conducted into an apartment where we found the captain and several officers, who arrived in another boat just before us. Here was a table set in the European style. The servants appeared to be Maltese and Napolitan slaves. Here we supped, after which it was announced that another boat had arrived with our officers and men, who were before the Bashaw.—Capt. Bainbridge requested me to go and look for Dr. Harwood, whom it was feared was killed. I found him with the carpenter before the Bashaw, stripped of every thing but their shirts & trowers. They afterwards informed us, that they were stripped in the boat where I left my satchel; and when they got within a few rods of the shore, they were thrown into the sea, and left either to drown or swim ashore. The Bashaw's servant gave them dry clothes; and we were all again conducted before the Bashaw, and formed into a half circle.—He was seated on his little throne, which was decorated in the Turkish order, and made a handsome appearance. He is a good looking man, aged about thirty-five. He counted us, viewed us with a smile, and appeared highly pleased with us. We were then conducted by the minister of exterior relations and a guard, to the house form-
erly occupied by the American consul—a very good house, with a large court, and room enough for our convenience. We were seated here about nine o'clock in the evening. Capt. Bainbridge got permission from the Bashaw to send for the Danish Consul, who paid us a visit and offered every assistance in his power. We slept upon mats and blankets spread upon the floor, which was composed of tiles.
November 1.—This morning the Danish consul, Mr. Nissen, paid us another visit. Capt. Bainbridge engaged him to furnish us with provisions and such other necessaries as we might want. Our dwelling was furnished in a plain style, and we were supplied with fresh provisions, that were tolerably good.—We were allowed to go to the front door, and to walk on the terrace or top of the house, which commanded a handsome prospect of the harbor, the sea, the town, the palace and the adjoining country. Here we could see our ship on the rocks, full of Turks, and surrounded by their boats, and a constant stream of boats going to, and bringing off, the plunder of the ship. We could see these robbers running about town, with our uniform coats and other cloathing on. The minister of exterior relations promised to be friendly, and collect as much of our cloathing and effects as he could, and return them to us.
November 3.—The Bashaw sent for the Carpenter to go on board the ship; he went and found six feet water in the hold. The carpenter's crew and fifty men were ordered and carried on board to work at night. A gale of wind and a heavy sea tore the ship off the rocks, and the carpenter returned.
November 4.—In the morning lieutenants Hunt and Osborn, and myself, were at the Danish consul's observatory, on the top of his house, upon a plain with and adjoining ours, which together made a large and handsome walk. We were looking at the ship with Mr. Nissen's glass, when our drogeman came and informed us that the Bashaw had ordered us not to walk upon the terrace any more. We immediately returned to our house.
November 5.—Our new masters came and closed up the passage which led to the top of the house; and a guard was set at the front door to prevent our going into the street. The minister sent his chief secretary with a parole of honor, written in French, which we all signed.
November 6.—We found that we were not allowed to go out, notwithstanding our signing the parole of honor. The minister of exterior relations sent us word that he had got eight of our trunks, which we might have for twelve hundred dollars. We did not take them, nor thank him for his hospitality. We purchased new blankets, sent to us by the Danish consul. The English consul, Mr. McDonald, paid us a visit and offered us every assistance in his power.
November 8.—The Jews purchased some of our cloathing and offered it to us at an enormous price; but we purchased but little of it. The Bashaw sent for Capt. Bainbridge and told him that John Wilson had informed him that Capt. Bainbridge, before hauling down the colors, threw over nineteen boxes of dollars and a large bag of gold. Capt. Bainbridge assured him it was false, and gave his word and honor that there was no money thrown over to his knowledge; but that the money in question was left at Malta. In the evening, the Bashaw, not being satisfied, sent for the captain's servant, and ordered him flogged if he did not tell the truth concerning the money. The boy denied having any knowledge of it. After repeating the threat several times, and the boy insisting on his not knowing any thing about the money, he was acquitted. Wilson had turned traitor, and given the enemy all the assistance in his power. He now acts as overseer of our men.
November 9.—Our captain established a credit with the Danish consul, who supplied us with necessary provision, and cloth for Mattresses. A guard was posted at our door, to prevent our going into the street, or purchasing any books or cloathing.
November 10.—Several Turks came and informed Capt. Bainbridge that the Bashaw had been told that Capt. Rogers, who commanded the United States frigate John Adams, treated the Tripolitan prisoners taken last summer, very bad; and that they feared we should suffer for it.
We have plenty of pomegranates, dates and oranges. The Danish consul visits us every day.
(To be continued.)
The late statistical history of France, published by Herbin, will exhibit the probable population of that Empire. Mirabeau the elder, in 1754, gave the population of France at 18 millions. The Abbe D'Expilly, in 1772, gave it at 22 millions, when Buffon gave it at 21 millions, Mr. Necker in 1785, gave it at twenty four millions, and Bouvart Desbroffes, in 1789, reported 27 millions. In 1791, the Committee of the Assembly reported it the first time at 28 millions, but at the second time, at 26 millions.

M. Brong published in 1797 the actual population, including Corsica, at 31 millions. Of these, 26 millions were on the ancient domain of France, about 3 millions were on the re-united provinces, and one and an half on the countries between the Rhine and Moselle. It 1798 De Pate reported to the Council 33 millions, including 28 millions on the territory of France, 3 millions, on the re-united provinces, 33 thousands, on the territory of Geneva, and one and an half million in the departments on the left bank of the Rhine. The Returns, by the prefects, in August, 1802, gives the general population of 36 millions, but this population was increased nearly two millions by the re-union of Piedmont and Island of Elba, in September, 1802. This number is judged not far from truth, especially if we employ the large numbers, and omit the fractions. If to this population we add that of Holland and of Italy, and the countries in which the French have control, we shall find a vast power in the present state of the French Empire.
When the population of France was given at 26 millions, above 20 millions were considered as inhabitants of the country, and above 3 millions in the cities. Des Brosses, in his work on the wealth of France, adds above one million to the above amount of the population, and gives above 7 millions to the cities, so that the population of the country to the cities is about 3 to one. The Great Lavissier divides the population of France into the following classes. Population of large towns, not including cultivators, at 8 millions; workmen, 6 millions; laborers in agriculture, 4 millions; vintages, at one million & 7 tenths. Proprietors of Vineyards 800,000; Shopkeepers, &c. at the charge of agriculture, 1 million and 8 tenths. Proprietors living on the produce of their estates, 450 thousand. In the class of sailors, manufacturers, nobles, ecclesiastics, &c. only 50 thousand. Most of two millions, and the French army at 250,000 giving in all 25 millions. This gives the city population as 8 to 17.
From the NATIONAL REGISTER.
It is unnecessary to multiply proofs of the manner, in which the Repository is managed. A very recent translation shall complete our list for the present. A few weeks since, the celebrated Just Barlow being on a visit at Boston, his arrival was announced by Park , in a manner as destitute of decency as hospitality. He was reproached in the most vulgar manner—and charged with having written a certain revolutionary song, the sentiments of which were exceptional, and with having spoken of the Christian religion in a most indecent style, in a letter to Mr. Fallows of New-York. Well-assured that Mr. Barlow , even if the paltry article should meet his eye, would not stoop to notice, it Park called on him to contradict it, forsooth in his paper. The friendly officiousness of an acquaintance pointed out the paragraph to the object of it. In company, the paper was shown to Mr. B. He smiled at its malignity with that sort of calm contempt, with which an elevated mind surveys the little cavils of little souls—and observed, that, as to the song, he had not only never seen it before, but had never even heard that such an one was in existence, till it was then shown to him—and with regard to the extract, it was true, he had written several times to Mr. Fallows , on account of some commercial business he had with him, but that he utterly disclaimed any thing like the stuff ascribed to him in the Repository. This account of the conversation is from a gentleman who heard it. No reason need be given, why a man of Mr. Barlow's standing in society should not condescend to notice the little ebullitions of jonto malignity, in the Repository.
We can hardly justify ourselves to our friends for occupying so much room in remarks on John Park . The foolish may continue, for a time, to flutter in the sunshine of his patron smiles. But when the thick darkness of universal contempt shall obscure the day of the Junto's influence, the ephemeron will fall "never to rise again." The righteous indignation of an awakened people will, ere long, involve the miscreant in the ruin of his masters, sink him in ignominy, and cover him with execration.
Some time since we invited the federalists to leave the ground of personal warfare, and meet us on that of fair argument and neighborly discussion—at the same time informing them of our resolution to make vigorous reprisals if they persisted in a contrary line of conduct. Since then we have witnessed their attacks on J. Barlow , Esq. calling him a malignant infidel, & palming a FORGED LETTER upon the public as having been written by him. We have heard also the old song of the "vicious lives" and "general laxity of morals," &c. of the republicans. Is this meant for defiance? Are they determined to drive us to extremities? Must we be obliged in our own defence, to drag vice from behind the veil of hypocrisy? If we ever are, let those who are vulnerable look well to it—for we shall open for public inspection and attornment such a flock of federal vice and infidelity as would sicken a State. A few of a certain description of federalists have it in their power, by a single word, to stop this abuse of republican characters. By not doing it they become positive aggressors. We have relied long enough on their sense of duty and honor. We now appeal to their self love. On this point they have sometimes exhibited sensibility. These remarks need no explanation; those for whom they are meant, very well understand them—We yet forbear. But it will not be with to slight these hints. Witness.
SECOND DECLARATION OF AUSTRIA TO FRANCE.
[Transmitted from Vienna to Paris, Sept. 3 1805.]
"THE Court of Vienna yields, without delay, to the request which the Emperor of
France has made of a categorical explanation respecting the motives of its preparations. The Court of Vienna has no other motive than that of maintaining peace and friendship with France, and securing the general tranquility of the Continent. It has no other wish than that the Emperor of the French may entertain corresponding sentiments.
"The maintenance of Peace, however, between the two States, does not merely consist in their not attacking each other. It depends no less, in reality, on the fulfilment of those treaties on which peace is founded. That Power which transgresses in so essential a point, and refuses to attend the reclamations to which such a conduct gives rise, is as much the aggressor as if it openly and unjustly attacked the other party.
"The peace between Austria and France was founded upon the Treaty of Luneville. One of the articles of that Treaty stipulated and guaranteed the independence of the Italian, Helvetic and Batavian Republics, and left them at liberty to choose their own Governments. Any measures, therefore, which tend to compel these States to choose a Government, Constitution, or Sovereign, otherwise than according to their free will, or otherwise than is consistent with the maintenance of a real political independence, is a breach of the Peace of Luneville, and it is the duty of Austria to complain of such a violation.
"A wish to maintain reciprocal friendship, to acquire confidence, to secure public tranquility from great dangers, may, under critical and delicate circumstances, induce the reclamation party to adopt precaution, to show great moderation in complaints, and to defer the dismissal of them to future negotiations. This conduct does not imply any contradiction of the stipulations of the treaty: but that power which goes farther, which employs menaces instead of the means of reconciliation, forgets as much the laws of friendship as the sacred rights of peace.
"The maintenance of general tranquillity requires that each Power should confine itself within its own frontiers, and rights and independence of other States, whether stronger or weak. That tranquillity is touched, when any Power appropriates to herself a right of occupation, protection, or influence, when that right is neither founded on the laws of nations or on treaties—when she speaks after peace of the right of conquest;—when she employs force and menaces to preferive laws to her neighbours, and compels them to sign treaties of alliance, concession, subjugation, or incorporation, at her will;—when she, above all in her own journals, attacks every Sovereign, one after another, with language offensive to their dignity; when, finally, she sets herself up as an arbitrator, to regulate the common interests of nations, and wishes to exclude every other State from taking any part in the maintenance of tranquillity and the balance of powers. One she would exclude, because it is too distant; another, because it is separated by an arm of the sea from the Continent; and evading an answer to the remonstrances of the Powers against the danger, assembles troops on their frontiers, and threatens them with a rupture if they place themselves in a state of defence.
"Under such circumstances, it becomes necessary for other powers to arm, to support each other, and to join in maintaining their own and the general security.—Thus the military preparations of the Court of Vienna are provoked by the preparations of France, as well as by her neglect of all means of securing and maintaining a true peace and future tranquillity.
"All Europe knows the sincerity of the wish for peace which his Imperial Majesty has displayed, and the punctuality wherewith he has fulfilled the obligations of the Treaty of Luneville; that sincerity cannot fail to be recognized in the great concession made in consequence of the injudicious extension given to that Treaty in Germany, and in the no less great moderation with which his Imperial Majesty has conducted himself on the first departure of the French Republic from that treaty, in respect to the concerns of the other Republics. While these changes were ascribed to the necessity of securing from all danger the disclosure of the plans for the restoration of Monarchical Government in France, his Majesty made no difficulty to recognize the state of things which, towards the end of the year 1802, was established in Italy. His Majesty's confidence in the views of the First Consul, was confirmed by the obligations which the latter owed to the Italian Republic in his character of President, by his frequent and solemn assurances, before and after his elevation to the Imperial dignity, that he was far from entertaining any plans of farther aggrandizement or of encroachment on the independence of the Italian States. In fine, by the pledges which he had given to the Emperor of Russia, particularly with respect to the indemnification of the King of Sardinia, and the general arrangement of the affairs of Italy.
"All these considerations concurred in exciting and cherishing in his Majesty's bosom the hope that the consolidation of the new Empire of the French would speedily bring back the policy and proceedings of Government to a system of deportment compatible with the balance of power and the safety of Europe, and some time after, when the first reports of new meditated changes in the States of Lombardy, induced the Ambassador from the Court of Vienna, at Paris, to demand explanations upon this subject; his Majesty, by the official assurance communicated in the name of the Emperor Napoleon, was confirmed in his hope that the Italian Republic would not be united with France, and that no innovation should take place which might prove injudicious to its political independence.
"Europe will decide whether these promises have been fulfilled. The Emperor has not ceased to demand their execution, as the correspondence evinces which took place be-
between the two Governments, and also the official and ostensible propositions which were transmitted to the Ambassador, Count Philip, Cobentzel: and though the Notes in which the Emperor Napoleon communicated his intentions as to the establishment of a kingdom of Italy, were accompanied with threats and military preparations; though every thing, at the very time, indicated what events have since confirmed, that the Emperor of the French was resolved to accomplish these innovations by force, his Majesty, nevertheless did not remonstrate against dispositions, which were announced to him as nothing more than a provisional arrangement. He rested satisfied with refusing the charges which furnished a pretext for those menaces, and with expressing his hope, that the principle of separation and independence, which has been consecrated by the treaty, should be carried into complete execution by the definitive arrangements, which the Emperor Napoleon left to depend upon ulterior negotiation with the Courts of St. Peterburgh and London, at the period of the re-establishment of peace.
"These negotiations were, in fact, the only hope which remained to his Majesty of succeeding, by conciliatory means, in maintaining peace, and ultimately to restore repose to Europe, which, from its northern to its southern extremity, laboured under alarms excited by enterprizes, which momentarily increased, both in number and magnitude.
"His Majesty the Emperor of the French had made a pacific overture to the King of England, in terms which pretended to preclude the latter from the right of taking any concern in the important interests of the Continent. This restriction, combined with the relations existing between the King of England and the Court of St. Peterburgh, induced his Britannic Majesty to have recourse to the mediation of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia. Notwithstanding the suspension of all official relations with France, his Majesty did not hesitate to employ his mediation, to dispatch an Ambassador for that purpose, and to make application to the Sovereign of France to furnish him with passports.
"The hopes however, to which those pacific steps gave birth, speedily vanished. At the very moment when the requisite passports were transmitted to the Russian Negotiator, to enable him to proceed on his journey to France, fresh attacks were made on the political existence of other independent States in Italy. From that instant the Emperor Alexander conceived that his character must have been comprised as a mediator. On the other hand, French armies were rapidly assembled in Italy, without any regard to the promises given that no military preparations should take place in that country. An encampment of thirty thousand men in the plain of Marengo, was speedily followed by another encampment of forty thousand men on the frontiers of the Tyrol and Austro-Venetian provinces. His Majesty thus found himself under the necessity of providing without delay, for his own safety. He was now convinced that his pacific, friendly, and moderate sentiments were not met by such sentiments on the part of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, as to permit him any longer to neglect taking the necessary measures for asserting his just rights, and maintaining the dignity of his Empire.
"This is the cause of his present armament. The same dispositions, however, which made his Majesty so anxious to avoid a recurrence to such measures have also determined their precise object. The Emperor arms not with hostile views; he arms not to operate a diversion against a landing in England. Besides, the execution of this descent, after two years menaces, does not seem to be exactly calculated for the moment when France provokes Austria and Russia, by enterprizes which have no relation whatever to the quarrel with Great-Britain. The Emperor arms for the maintenance of the peace existing between him and France. He arms for the maintenance of those pacific stipulations without which this peace would become illusory, and to attain that just equipoise which depends on the moderation of all the powers interested, and which is calculated to secure the balance and the permanent tranquillity of Europe.
"The step by which his Majesty has at the same time invited all the Courts interested, to renew the negotiations which have been broken off, is directed to the same object. The unexpected rejection which his interposition has experienced on the part of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, does not prevent him from renewing that invitation.
"He has been more fortunate in his application to the Emperor Alexander. This Monarch who fills so honorable and distinguished a place in the Senate of the Powers of Europe, whose equality and general prosperity forms the object of his constant solicitude, testifies in the answer which he has transmitted and which is herewith annexed ( vide supra ) a similar wish with that of his Majesty, for that conclusion of a just and moderate arrangement. He is also convinced of the necessity of an eventual armament; and on account of the distance which he has to pass, in order to support the cause of justice and the issue of his moderation, he feels it to be his duty to cause a part of his troops to advance, for the purpose of conferring on the said mediation all the importance, all the effect which are worthy of so great a Power.
"As a demonstration of the rectitude of the sentiment entertained by the two Imperial Courts of Austria and Russia, it is hereby formally declared in the name of both:
"That they are ready to enter into a negotiation with France for maintaining the peace of the continent on the most moderate terms which are compatible with the general tranquillity and security:
"That, whatever shall be the time of the negotiation, and even should the commencement of hostilities become unavoidable, they, at the same time pledge themselves, to abstain from every pro-
ceeding tending to interfere with the internal concerns of France! or to alter the state of possession, and the legally existing relations in the German Empire; or, in the slightest degree to injure the rights or interests of the Ottoman Porte, the integrity of whose dominions they are, on the contrary, prepared to defend to the utmost of their power.
"Finally, that the sentiments of Great-Britain are conformable with those herein expressed, and that she has displayed the same moderate disposition for the restoration of peace between her and France.
"His Majesty hopes that this sincere and frank declaration will serve to remove any doubts which his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon may entertain respecting his views and motives. His Majesty will be happy, and his highest wish will be gratified, if this Declaration tend to prevent those misfortunes which it is not in his power alone to avert from mankind."

GERMANY.
STUTTGARD, Oct. 9, 1805.
The Emperor of Germany was at Vienna, the 30th ult. where the Russian Emperor was expected.
One object with the Emperor Napoleon is to prevent the junction of the Russians with the Austrian Grand Army, and every thing seems to combine to insure complete success to his great movements. He has 300 horsemen in his retinue, who neither know the hour of departure or place of destination until the very moment—He goes to rest at one o'clock, and is frequently on horseback at three in the morning.
Borders of the Danube, Oct. 9. —Marshal Ney is rapidly advancing towards the Austrians at Ulm. They write that the Austrians will evacuate Ulm this day, or to-morrow.
FRANCE.
BOURDEAUX, Oct. 26, 1805.
A letter from Strasburgh, dated Oct. 17th 1805, says, "Yesterday a manuscript bulletin was circulated, importing, that Marshal Bernadotte had arrived at Munich, and that the junction of the Russians is cut off; and that 60,000 Austrians are surrounded without one of the means of retreating."
The Emperor remarks to her Majesty, that he wishes her to remain perfectly tranquil; that he occupies a position similar to that he did at Marengo; and that the campaign will be short but brilliant.
PARIS, Oct. 17.
The Electors of Bavaria, of Wurtemberg and of Baden, have made a common cause with France. The first of these has issued a formal exposition of the motives which have governed his conduct towards Austria.
The campaign has just opened by a victory the more glorious as it was not purchased by a great effusion of human blood. This action is the first result of the vast plan that a Great Commander could ever conceive.—The march of the Grand Army was a sure guarantee of its triumph; so indeed, even before the first news of it had been received, the public opinion was at perfect ease. It seems that the war is already made, and that peace is ready to be renewed. Stocks never experienced a greater rise, nor a more substantial support. On the other side, the Austrian Monarchy never was in a more critical situation. The Emperor Francis, abandoned by the great vassals whom he has so imprudently provoked, ill served by an ally, who perhaps speculates upon his losses, will soon have no other resource, but the magnanimity of a vanquisher who has never abused victory.
Twelve battalions of Grenadiers and four squadrons of Cuirassiers are the main body of a great army; the loss of them must throw a damp over the Austrians. Besides we see among them no organized army, no decided plan, no general capable of stopping the impetuous march of the great Gallo-German army. The name of the commander who was at first designated seems to be condemned to ridicule; the affair which has recently taken place, finishes his reputation.
These events will make a very strange revolution amongst the English Gazeeters, who had the trumpet already in their mouth to sound the victories of the third coalition! What has ever ruined the English Ministry. What will again ruin them in the war, is the blindness with which they give themselves up to fantastical projects. On the one hand, they have always computed the aggressive power and the military means of France upon too narrow a scale; on the other, they have ever considered as efficacious, alliances utterly impossible; they thought to unite for their profit interests absolutely irreconcilable; they have constantly exaggerated means of attack impossible to realise. Thus they had no less a plan a month ago, than to attack the French in Italy, in Spain, in Vendee, in Holland, & Hanover. But when the news of today reaches London, the people will begin to perceive the emptiness and folly of the project of the ministry, that Russia can neither march in concert with Austria, nor save her from a defeat already decided. They will perhaps begin to acknowledge, that the money voted for subsidies, might have been better employed; and they will think themselves very happy if they do not serve for the aggrandizement of the power whom they made such a cowardly attempt to destroy; an attempt, which even deprives them of the vain glory of fighting France single handed.
The following letter of the Emperor and King, has just been received: viz.
GENTLEMEN, "The Prefect and Mayor of our good city of Paris,
Our troops have had an engagement with

the Austrians near Weringen, defeated 12 battalions of grenadiers—all their artillery is taken, with a great number of prisoners, and eight standards. We have resolved to make a present of the colors to our good city of Paris and two pieces of cannon to be placed in the hotel de ville. We desire, then our good city of Paris will recognize in this affair our affection for her, which will be so much the more dear to her, as it was her Governor who commanded our troops in the engagement of Weringen. This letter having no other object, we pray God to have you in his holy keeping.
"At the Imperial head quarters at Aug- bourg, 18th Vendemaire, 10th Oct. 1805. (Signed) NAPOLEON."
ARMY BULLETIN.
On the 14th [we believe Vendemaire, answering to Oct. 6, 1805] Gen. Vendamme's division of Marshall Soult's army, by a forced march, at 3 o'clock, P. M. reached Donawert, (on the Danube,) and took the bridge which was defended by the regiment of Collorodo—A few Austrians were killed and others taken.
October 6.
Prince Murat arrived with his dragoons;—the bridge was repaired, and the Prince, with Wattier's division advanced towards the Lech, the bridge over which was attacked by 200 French dragoons, and the Austrians routed. Prince Murat lay at Rain.
October 8.
Marshall Soult, with two divisions, and Gen. St. Hilaire, with his, advanced towards Augsburg.
October 9.
At day break Prince Murat, at the head of two divisions of dragoons, and one of carabineers and cuirassiers, marched to intercept the road between Ulm and Augsburg.—At Weringen he discovered a division of Austrian infantry, and four squadrons of cuirassiers—He directly surrounded this whole body.—Marshall Lannes, with Gudin's division passed into the rear of the Austrians; an engagement of two hours commenced, when the whole division were taken, with their colours, cannon, baggage, &c. It consisted of twelve battalions of grenadiers—(about 7200.)
On the 6th and 7th Marshall Soult measured on the Danube, to intercept the supplies to Ulm.
Marshall Davoust and Gen. Marmont have arrived at Donawert. Gen. Barnadotte, and the Bavarians are at Aichstadt.
NEWPORT.
THURSDAY—DECEMBER 19, 1805.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the State of Steady Habits, (Connecticut) to his friend in this town.
The invidious efforts of the Federalists manifested here, to counteract the triumph of virtue over vice, has, to the honor of our republicans, proved abortive. Yes, the republicans of Litchfield, have succeeded by a handsome majority, in their election of Town Officers. Litchfield you will recollect has hitherto been considered as the iniquitous sink of Federalism, as a confirmation of the remark it is only necessary to state, that the town of Litchfield is the residence of the celebrated pious Tracy of exterminating memory!
The Republicans have also succeeded in several other towns in the Country in which they never did before.—Rest assured we are determined to persevere in support of the good old cause of Republicanism.
THE LARGE OX.
The late exhibition in State-Street, of the flag-Ox, and BEEF, is evidence of the superiority of the grazing soil of New-England. The Ox, which was exhibited on Thursday, was raised on the farm of BANG GARDNER, Esq. of Middletown, R. Island, and purchased by Mr. AMOS BROOKS, of this town.—Good judges say, that for fatness and beauty he exceeded any thing of the kind ever exhibited in this town, and the beef is now for sale at Brooks's stall in the market. The ox, we learn, was only seven years old last spring, and has not had any extra keeping until within
about one year: The weight of the beef was as follows:—
Beef, - 1586 weight.
Hide, - 153 do.
Tallow, - 235—Total 1974 cwt.
*The quarters weighed as follows—
372—365—427—422.
Boston Paper.
N. B. This Ox was five days on his Journey to Boston, and was killed the second day after his arrival. It is thought by good judges that if he had been killed prior to this Journey he would have weighed more than two thousand weight.
REMARKABLE PRESERVATION.
THE following interesting narrative, communicated by the captain of a merchantman to his owners, is given in a letter from Barbadoes, dated July 19:—"On the 3d inst. I chartered a copper-bottomed Schooner, direct for Berbice, and went in her, in company with a Dutch lady, and her two children. To the night of the 5th, at 10 o'clock, a most violent gale of wind drove us on the rocks of Bermuda, three leagues from the shore, when we should have all perished, if Almighty God had not saved us in a most miraculous manner. Most of the crew took possession of a small boat, and ventured to sea; but I and some more left behind. In less than half an hour the vessel was dashed to pieces. It was a dismal night, blowing, raining, thundering and lightning; the sea came incessantly over our heads; I went from one piece of the wreck to another, to hold myself up; but in the course of two hours I was quite exhausted, filled with sea water and my body shockingly wounded from beating on the rocks: six times I was washed away, but a heavy sea always brought me up again; and at last I was driven upon some planks, where I found the poor woman and her two children, crying out in a most lamentable manner: I saved them three times and took one of the girls, eight years old, into my arms; but having lost all strength, a high sea tore her from me—nobody could assist her—we gave her up for lost, and expected every minute to share the same fate. At day break to our great surprise and joy, we saw the child at some distance from us sticking to a piece of wood hanging on the rock; a dog was with her, and I really believe, saved her, for she said she was washed away frequently, and came as often up again at the same place. Between 10 and 11 in the morning of the 6th, when we had not the smallest hope of being saved we saw a small boat pulling after us; it was our good Capt. who was looking after us; not expecting to find us alive. In about three hours afterwards we arrived on the uninhabited shore of Bermuda, without any other clothes except shirts."
DEAL, OCTOBER 28.
THE accounts from Paris say, Gen. Mack has been obliged to surrender with 40,000 men, so that his whole army, lately amounting to 84,000, is annihilated, except a few corps, which have escaped into the Tyrol.—Mack was not only attacked on one side by Bonaparte; Angereau, with the army from Brest was approaching him on the side of Stockah. He was completely surrounded, and his only chance was to escape to the Upper Palatinate, by breaking through the French line north of the Danube.
CONFIRMATION.
LATEST FROM EUROPE. Among the files of papers received at this Office, we have the Moniteur (the French official paper) from which we have translated the following articles: Com. Adver.
PARIS, October 24.
On the 22d Vendemaire the Marshall Soult took possession of Memingen, together with 6,000 prisoners.
At the same time, his Majesty the Emperor, proceeded with the principal part of his army towards the city of Ulm.
The Austrians have concentrated in the neighborhood of Ulm, all their forces, with the exception of 20,000 men, commanded by Prince Ferdinand, who has attempted to reach Bohemia.
In the night of 25 (Brumaire) the city of Ulm capitulated: Gen. Mack, 17 Generals and 20,000 men were made prisoners of war.
On the 24, Prince Murat attacked the rear guard of Prince Ferdinands army, which had fled from Ulm, and took 3000 prisoners; and on the 26th the whole army laid down their Arms.
Bavaria is entirely evacuated; and Marshall Bernadotte has carried his advanced post to Hun. It is believed at Head-Quarters, that his Majesty the Emperor would leave Ulm, for Augsburg, on the 22d.
The official papers will give details of these grand events.

POETRY.
From the NORTHERN BUDGET. A FAREWELL TO M*****
FAREWELL M***** P*****! ruin's gate! With joy I quit thy shore, And fondly hope my wretched fate, Will drive me here no more.
Too long I've liv'd (four months is long, In this detested place) Devoid of social joy, and song, And Friendship's sweet embrace.
What fool would longer here remain, Who his two legs can use— Toil like a slave for little gain, Yet half that little lose?
Shall I stay here—with hunger pine— "Grow lean from day to day." When Int'rest, Pleasure, Friendship, join To beckon me away.
Stay here I Absurd. In this curs'd spot True friendship ne'er was known; E'en Love, blest passion I is forgot, While Vice usurps her throne.
With ease a fasting monk, so pure, Might here his vows observe; Hose brightest worth might die obscure, And modest merit starve.
Here poverty, with batchet-face , Despotic, reigns alone; With crown of straw her temples grac'd— A dunghill forms her throne.
Her famish'd court—a blue-nos'd band, With clattering teeth and knees, Around her throne in terror stand, And hear her stern decrees.
Here bow back'd Cate, and Famine gaunt, Mute o'er their sev'ral woes; Labor, half naked, looks allant, As fearful of the crows.
His skinny lips, pale Hunger gnaws; While Theft (who stands aside) His tatter'd covering closer draws, A pilfer'd bone to hide.
Here hard'ned knave, and shameless punk, Undaunted stalk around; Red-cy'd Intemperance, dead drunk, Lies sprawling on the ground.
Around her sun-burnt subjects throng, In penry's meanest plight; Doom'd to hard labor all day long, Yet poorer every night.
Hard thralldom I penance most severe Yet still oblig'd to lay; Too poor to live, they linger here— Too poor to run away.
The cries of want, and jells obscene, And misery's moans are there, And griev'd low sigh—loud oaths profane, And fariaks of wild despair.
Such scenes as these my entrails fright, Starvation waits my stay; Hunger lends wings to aid my flight, And hurries me away.
Waft me ye breezes of the South, Far North to some retreat, Where plenty reigns, and "Labor's mouth" Is fill'd with bread and meat:
Where unrestrain'd by poverty, I may with hearty zeal, Once more enjoy the luxury Of eating a FULL MEAL.
Then shall my slender thanks assume A jollier Form and gait: My cheeks be flush'd with vigor's bloom— My ribs be cloth'd with fat.
Then shall I thank these gen'rous friends Who snatch'd me out of evil; And care not tho' some whirlwind sends M***** P***** to the d—l.
