Sixth Bulletin of the Grand Army.
ELCHINGEN, 26th Ven. (O.S. 18.) [CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST.] In the night of the 25th there was a terrible hurricane; the Danube overflowed and broke most of the bridges over it; this circumstance embarrasses us considerably with regard to our subsistence.
On the 23d, Marshal Bernadotte pushed forward his advanced posts to Wasserburg and Haag on the road to Brann. He took from four to five hundred prisoners from the enemy, and a park of 17 pieces of artillery; so that since his entrance into Munich, Marshal Bernadotte has, without losing one man, taken 1500 prisoners, 19 pieces of cannon, 800 horses and a great quantity of baggage.
The Emperor crossed the Rhine on the 9th Vendemaire, the Danube on the 14th, at five in the morning, the Leech on the same day at 3 in the afternoon, his troops entered Munich on the 20th. His advanced posts arrived at the Inn on the 23d. On the same day he was master of Memmingen and on the 25th of Ulm.
He took from the enemy at the engagements of Wertingen, Guntzburg, Elchingen, at Memmingen and Ulm, in the actions at Albrecht, Langenau and Neresheim, 40,000 men, in infantry and cavalry, more than 40 stand of colours, a great number of pieces of artillery, and carriages, and a vast quantity of baggage. These great results have been brought about solely by marches and manœuvres.
In these partial engagements the loss of the French army amounts to 500 killed and 1000 wounded. This makes the soldiers say, the Emperor has found out a new method of carrying on war; he makes use of our legs instead of our bayonets.
Five sixths of the army have not fired a shot, for which they are very sorry. But all of them have made forced marches, and they redouble in celerity, whenever they hope to come up with the enemy.
The Austrian army may be looked on as completely annihilated. The Austrians and Russians will be obliged to call out many recruits, to resist the French army, who have cut up an army of 100,000 men, without experiencing any proportional loss.
The following are some of the articles of the capitulation of Ulm.
1. The city of Ulm shall be delivered up to the French with all its magazines, horses, wagons, and artillery.— 2. The garrison shall march out with the honors of war. 3. The Officers shall return to Austria upon parole; the soldiers shall be conveyed to France, and remain until exchanged. 4. The officers and soldiers shall retain their effects; and the sick and wounded shall receive the same attendance as the French. [** The fifth article provides, that if a corps of the Austrian army, capable of raising the blockade of Ulm, should present itself on or before the 25th October, then the capitulation to be void, and the garrison be at liberty to act as it pleases.]
No reinforcements having arrived on the 25th Oct. the above capitulation was carried into effect—when 27,000 troops, horses, Eighteen General Officers, and between 60 and 80 pieces of cannon fell into the hands of the French.
Seventh Bulletin of the Grand Army.
ELCHINGEN, 27th Vendemaire, year 14th. (19th October, 1805.)
The 26th Vendemaire, at 6 o'clock in the morning, Prince Murat arrived at Nordingen, and succeeded in surrounding the division of Werneck. This General asked to capitulate. The capitulation that has been granted to him will not arrive before to-morrow. The Lieutenant Generals Werneck, Baillet, Hohenzollern, the Generals Vogel, Mackey, Hohenfeld, Weiber and Dienesberg, are prisoners on parole, with the reserve of repairing to their honors. The troops are prisoners of war and to repair to France. Upwards of two thousand cavalry have slighted from our horseback, and a brigade of dragoons on foot has been mounted with their horses. It is asserted that the park of reserve belonging to the Austrian army, consisting of 500 wagons, has been taken. It is presumed that all the remainder of the column of Prince Ferdinand, must by this time be invested, Prince Murat having filed his right by Aalen, and Marshal Lannes his left by Nordingen. We are waiting the result of these manœuvres; Prince Ferdinand has but few troops remaining.
To-day at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Emperor granted an audience to Gen. Mack; at the close of this audience Marshall Berthier signed with Gen. Mack an addition to the capitulation, which stipulated that the garrison of Ulm shall evacuate the town to-morrow, the 28th. There are in Ulm 27,000 men, 3000 horses, 18 Generals and between 60 and 80 pieces of cannon with trains. The half of the Emperor's guards were already set off for Augsburg; but his Majesty has consented to remain here to-morrow, to see the Austrian army file

off. Every day gives more assurance that of this army of a hundred thousand men, not twenty will have escaped; and this immense result is obtained without the effusion of blood.
The Emperor has not gone out of Elchingen to day. The fatigue and continual rain which he has, undergone for these eight days, have required a little rest. But rest is not compatible with the direction of this immense army. At every hour of the day and of the night officers arrive with reports, and the Emperor must give orders. He appears highly satisfied with the activity and zeal of Marshal Berthier.
To-morrow, the 28th, at three o'clock in the afternoon, 27,000 Austrian soldiers, 60 pieces of cannon, and 18 Generals will file off before the Emperor and will lay down their arms. The Emperor has made a present to the senate of the colours of the victory of Ulm. There will be double the number announced, that is to say 80 stand.
During these five days past, the Danube has overflowed with a violence which had been unexampled for a century back. The Abbey of Elchingen, in which the Emperor's Head-Quarters are fixed, is situated upon a height which affords a view of the whole country.
The Russian Army have reached the Inn. On the Evening of the 28th Bonaparte will set off for Munich.
Additional capitulation on the surrender of the city of Ulm.
Marshal Berthier, Major-General of the French army, authorized by express orders of the Emperor of the French, gives his word of honor.
1. That the Austrian army is to-day beyond the Inn, and that Marshal Bernadotte, with his army, is posted between Munich and the Inn.
2. That Marshal Lannes, with his army, was yesterday at Nordingen; that the Lt. Generals Werneck, Beller, Hohenzollern and seven other Generals have capitulated with their corps of the army at the village of Troxelningen.
3. That Marshal Soult is between Ulm and Bregenz, watching the road to the Tyrol; that there is then no possibility that Ulm should be succoured.
The Lieut. General, Quarter-master General Mack, giving credit to the above declarations, is ready to evacuate the city of Ulm in the course of to-morrow, stipulating for conditions:
That the whole corps of Marshal Ney, consisting of twelve regiments of Infantry, and four of cavalry, shall not quit Ulm, and a distance of ten leagues until the 25th October at midnight, the time when the capitulation expires.
Marshal Berthier, and Baron Mack, Lt. General, Quarter-master General, agree to the above articles.
In consequence, to-morrow, at three o'clock, in the afternoon, the Austrian army shall defer before his majesty the Emperor of the French, with all the honors of war; it shall lay down its arms, and marching orders shall be given to the officers, who shall retain their arms, to repair to Austria by the two roads of Kenten and of Bregenz, for the Tyrol.
Made double at Elchingen, on the 19th October, 1805. (27th Vendemiaire, year 14)
Signed, Marshal BERTHIER. Lieutenant-General MACK.

NEW-YORK, Dec. 24.
The Editors of the New-York Gazette feel themselves indebted to Capt. Chew, of the ship Hare, for the subsequent interesting news.
It appears, from the consular account of the late engagement, that the Spanish and French ships were thus situated:
SPANISH.
  Asturias, 112 guns,  escaped.    Santa Anna, 112,  struck, but got off.    Bargo, 110,  taken.    Monarca,  } 74's escaped.    San Justo,    San Leandro,    San Juan Nepomoceno,    Francisco de Asis,  lost.    Neptuno,  do.    St. Ildefonso,  } all taken.    Argonauta,    Bahama    Santissima Trinidad,  destroyed.  
FRENCH.
  Pluton,  } 74's  escaped.    Algefiras,  lost.    ————, 74,  }  escaped.    Incorruptible,    Neptune,    Heroe,  }  escaped.    L'Aigle, taken, but said to have escaped.    L'Arrogante,  }  escaped.    Bucanture,    Intrepid    Redoubtable,    Mont Blanc,    Dougratrouin,    Formidable,    Scipion,  } all taken.    Berwick,    Swiftsure,  
This recapitulation is taken from the following detail—
The HARE left Gibraltar on the 25th of October, in company with the Old Tom, Waughop, for this port, under convoy of the United States brig Vixen, capt. Cox—next day was driven through the Gut, and put into Malaga, from whence they failed the 4th Nov. and next day parted with the convoy off Cape Spartel. On the 23rd of October a schooner arrived at Gibraltar with dispatches from Admiral Collingwood, advising that the British fleet of 27 sail of the line had had an engagement with the combined fleet of 33 sail of the line, off Cadiz, which lasted 12 glasses, in which 18 sail of the latter were captured, two sunk, and one blown up.—That Lord Nelson, with seven captains on the English side were killed, the former in the latter part of the action, having lived long enough to hear a list of the captured ships read
to him. On the same evening the Bellisle, of 74 guns was towed in by the Naiad frigate, having lost all her masts in the engagement. While at Malaga Mr. Kirhpatriick, the American Consul there, received the following statement from his correspondent at Cadiz.
"An account of the combined fleets of France and Spain that failed from Cadiz on the 19th and 20th of Oct. 1805, and fought the British fleet on the 21st of the same month.
SPANISH SHIPS.
Principed' Asturias , 112 guns.—Returned to Cadiz bay on the 21st Oct. very much damaged and a great number killed and wounded—among the latter Admiral Gravina and his major-general Escano, however not dangerous; on the night of the 22nd her main and mizen-masts were so crippled that they rolled overboard.
Santa Anna .—Struck to Admiral Collingwood, who manned her and took out the captain, Admiral Haba being wounded was left by his own choice on board; being entirely dismasted and ungovernable, she fell to near the fort of Cadiz that she was reaken on the 23rd by the squadron that went to sea for that purpose, and bro't into Cadiz harbor.
Bargo , 100 guns.—Was much damaged in the action, but came into port on the night of the 21st—on the 23rd, in the morning, she got under way with several other ships, to retake the Santa Anna, which the British were towing off; and on the night of the 23rd, not being able to make the port, she anchored about 6 leagues distant, and it blowing very hard she rolled her masts (which were very much damaged) overboard; and was taken next morning by the British in sight of Cadiz.
Monarca , San Justo , and San Leandro —All arrived at Cadiz on the night of the 21st, and next morning, the San Leandro , while at anchor in the mouth of the Bay, rolled away her main and mizen-masts.
San Francisco d'Assis —came in the night of the 23rd, drifted ashore in Cadiz Bay near Fort St. Catalina, and is totally lost; the part of the crew that was on board when she went ashore were saved, having an English prize-officer and men on board.
Neptuno —Came in the morning of the 22nd dismasted, and drifted ashore on the night of the 23rd, near St. Catalina, and was totally lost, crew saved, having an English Prize-Officer and men on board.
San Juan Nepomoceno , San Ildefonso , Argonauta and Bahama —All totally dismasted, and sunk in the possession of the English on the 23rd.
Mifling , though the tower gave notice of one more Spanish ship being in possession of the English, but do not mention her name, supposed to be the Santissima Trinidad, of 144 guns.
FRENCH SHIPS.
Pluton —Came in the night of the 21st.
Algefiras —Came in the night of the 22nd, having struck to and been manned by the English, but being totally dismasted and ungovernable, in the gale of the night, the English gave the command to the French on condition they should not be prisoners of war—this ship had above 300 killed, and among them Admiral Magos.
———— , totally dismasted, struck to and was taken possession of by the English, but struck the shore and went to pieces near St. Potre, on the night of the 23rd, and every soul except about 25 are said to have perished.
Incorruptible , Neptune , and Heroe —All came in on the night of the 21st, much damaged, and are calling for succour at the mouth of the bay.
L'Aigle —Blown up during the action, the major part of the crew saved.
L'Argonaute —Came in on the night of the 21st.
L'Aigle —Dismasted and in possession of the English, but in distress near Torre Gorda, said to be got off and coming in.
Bucanture —Admiral Villeneuve wounded, totally dismasted, and struck to Nelson—the admiral and his captain were put on board a frigate, & the ship manned by a lieutenant and 80 men. On the night of the 22nd, the ship being totally dismasted was blown by the violence of the wind towards the shore, and anchored near the castle of St. Sebastian; next day, about an hour after the people were taken out, she went down. Major-general Prigny, who was left on board by Nelson, is slightly wounded. At Cadiz, 400 men are reported killed on board of this ship, and most of the officers wounded.
Intrepid , Redoubtable , Monte-Blanco , Duguay-trouin , Formidable , Scipion , Berwick , and Swiftsure —These ships are missing, but as it is known that several of them had struck to the English, it is suppose they are in their possession.
A report, however prevails, that admiral Dumanoir has escaped with four frigates.
The bodies of admiral Magoz and capt. Villigris are reported found on the Playa between Cadiz and St. Patrick, where above 1000 bodies have been driven on shore—the whole beach is covered with the wrecks of ships.
The five frigates, and brigs are returned without any material damage.
L'Aigle is said to have got off, and anchored in the Channels.
CADIZ, 25th Oct. 1805.
On the 5th of November, at 4 P. M. Cape Spartel, bearing ESE. distant 50 miles, capt. Chew fell in with the British fleet of 14 sail of the line, under admiral Collingwood, was brought too and boarded by the Martin sloop of war, the lieutenant of which informed, that Lord Nelson and only two captains were killed; that they had 13 ships disabled, which, with four of the prizes, had arrived safe at Gibraltar; that the remainder of the prizes were either destroyed to prevent them falling to their former possessors, lost on shore, or drifted into Cadiz bay; that most of the latter ships had since been destroyed by the boats from their fleet; that the Santissima Trinidad, of 144 guns, was destroyed in sight of Cadiz, after it was found impracticable to tow her off; and, that admiral Villeneuve was on board admiral Collingwood's
ship, the Dreadnought. He could not tell the number of killed and wounded, as the returns were not yet completed; the general opinion, however, at Gibraltar was, that ten thousand men must have lost their lives in the action.
On the same day, capt. Chew left the fleet in company with the Victory, (Lord Nelson's ship) and Belleisle, both under jury-masts, bound to England.
The British Admiral Louis, who had been sent to Tetuan bay for water with 7 sail of the line, (and absent during the engagement) had returned off Cadiz.
We further learn, verbally, that Admiral Gravina died of his wound after he arrived at Cadiz.
OPERATION IN ITALY.
Marshal MASSENA to the MINISTER OF WAR.
H. Q. Alps, Oct. 18, 1805, Midnight.
"The terms agreed on with Prince Charles having expired, I attacked the old bridge of Verona this morning; and I have crossed the Adige. The wall which defended the middle of the bridge having been blown up by a train of powder, & the gaps of the bridge rendered passable by planks and boards, twenty-four companies of rangers, and the whole of Gen. Gardanne's division passed. The enemy defended the passage with boldness; but were eventually put to the route, and pursued to the heights. The two armies continued fighting with great obstinacy from 4 o'clock in the morning, until 6 in the evening. The Austrians did not yield their territory until after having obstinately defended it; at length we drove them from all their positions, and destroyed their intrenchments. We took seven pieces of artillery, and 18 caissons are the fruit of this day; we have taken from them 14 or 1500 prisoners; they have left 1200 men on the field of battle, and they have a much greater number wounded. On our side, we have had few killed; we have 300 wounded, yet but few of them dangerously.
I have great encomiums to bestow on the ability and bravery displayed by General Lecombe St. Michel, Commandant of Artillery, and General Chasseloup, commanding the engineers. I have also great praises to bestow on General Gardanne, who directed the first division, and Gen. Duchesne who fought at the head of one of his brigades forming the reserve. The different corps present at the action, officers and soldiers, in general conducted themselves well, and I propose to make you a detailed report on this head. I cannot, however, defer doing justice to the zeal and readiness of Mr. Mergey, one of your Aides-de-Camp, who never quitted my side during the whole action.
I immediately gave orders for building a tete du pont, and it is now solidly established. I shall take care to inform you of the results of this day and of the advantages which I hope to reap from it. Be so kind as to present to his Majesty the Emperor and King this first pledge of the valour of his army of Italy, and renew to him the assurance of our attachment to the execution of his designs. I remain, yours, &c.
MASSENA.
CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
December 4, 1805.
Mr. Bidwell remarked that this resolution went further than that offered by the gentleman from Maryland. So far as that resolution went it met his ideas. But as he thought it ought to go further: And should it be adopted by the committee, he would afterwards move the one he had just read. His reason for thinking the House ought to go further was this. We have been informed by the President that new principles have been interpolated by foreign powers into the law of nations. What these principles are is not stated, except in one instance. To what extent they have been carried, we are not informed. We have, it is true, out-door information on the subject; but not of such a nature as to justify our acting in our legislative capacity. These principles, as well as the injuries we have received, were in his opinion, a proper subject for the investigation of a committee.
Mr. Nicholson said he could not conceive in what the two resolutions differed except in language. They both embraced the same object. In one respect only they differed. While the resolution of the gentleman from Massachusetts referred the subject to a select Committee, his own resolution referred it to the committee of Ways and Means. The investigation contemplated by the gentleman could be as well made by the Committee of Ways and Means as by a select committee. Nor was it necessary for this purpose to give them any instructions. If the subject required investigation, it would be their duty to make it, and to lay the result of the investigation before the House. It would be allowed that it was a subject in which the revenue was most deeply interested, and as such properly the province of the Committee of Ways and Means. For his own part, Mr. Nicholson said, he could have no objection to the resolution of the gentleman from Massachusetts; but as his own resolution embraced the same object and went to the full extent, he perceived no reason against adopting it.
Mr. Quincy could not agree that the resolution offered by the gentleman from Maryland either embraced the same object, or went to the same length with that proposed by his colleague. He thought that offered by his colleague far preferable, as it was more extensive in its views. He was of opinion, that whatever committee was appointed should investigate the nature of the principles alluded to in the Message, as well as the measures referred to. The Committee of Ways and Means were not bound to make a special report on the subject; they might content themselves with a general one; an it might be necessary afterwards to appoint a new committee
to make the requisite investigation, Mr. Q. was the more anxious, as he thought it necessary that a complete investigation should be made in the House of the nature and extent of the principles referred to in the Message.
Mr. Elliot said he did not perfectly understand the gentleman from Maryland when he told them that the subject contemplated to be referred, naturally and exclusively fell within the proper jurisdiction of the Committee of Ways and Means. It would be admitted on all hands that the subject was not only important, but likewise novel. Our attention is forcibly called in the Message to this as a subject of the first importance:
"New principles too have been interpolated into the law of nations founded neither in justice nor the usage or acknowledgment of nations. According to these a belligerent takes to itself a commerce with its own enemy, which it denies to a neutral, on the ground of its aiding that enemy in the war. But reason revolts at such an inconsistency, and the neutral having equal right with the belligerent to decide the question, the interests of our constituents, and the duty of maintaining the authority of reason, the only umpire between just nations, impose on us the obligation of providing an effectual and determined opposition to a doctrine so injurious to the rights of peaceable nations."
Our attention is called to the important point of new interpolations into the law of nations, or in other words, to the adoption by the government of one or more foreign powers of what is considered as a modification of the ancient laws of nations, as accommodating them to their wishes, and as introducing new principles which they wish to impose upon other nations. How a subject so important naturally and necessarily belongs to the Committee of Ways and Means it was impossible for him to say. But, says the gentleman, it is a question of revenue. How so? It may effect the revenue incidentally; but the question of revenue, from its comparative unimportance, is at once merged and lost in the more important question, whether we shall passively submit to the introduction of new principles to be imposed upon neutrals, by any government whatever, however powerful or extensive its influence. On this subject, Mr. Elliot said he thought, as appeared by the Message the Executive thought, that it possessed great importance in itself. Nor did he conceive it possible to present any view more important than that taken by the resolution of the gentleman from Massachusetts. He acknowledged that the Committee of Ways and Means were fully competent to an investigation of the subject; in their ability to investigate it he had full confidence. But he thought they had sufficient business in their proper sphere to occupy their attention. For these reasons he hoped the resolution offered by the gentleman from Maryland would be rejected, and that submitted by the gentleman from Massachusetts substituted in its room.
Mr. Gregg, thought the gentleman from Massachusetts would fully attain his object by offering a part of the resolution he had read as an amendment to the resolution before the House. The resolution of the gentleman embraced two distinct parts; the first regarded the objects to be enquired into, and the last instructed the committee how to act. The resolution of the gentleman from Maryland embraces the same object. The end therefore of the gentleman from Massachusetts would be fully gained by adding the instructive part of his own resolution to the resolution under discussion. As to the difference between a standing and select committee, it was not so important as it appeared to be to the gentleman from Vermont. The subject from its character naturally came before the Committee of Ways and Means; and it was understood that standing committees went through the business referred to them with more regularity than a select committee.
Mr. Bidwell said that if gentlemen would tentatively consider the two resolutions, they would find that the resolution offered by the gentleman from Maryland did not go to the same extent with the resolution which he had had the honor of proposing. The former referred to but one principle, and limited the subject to considerations connected with revenue. It appeared to him that from out-door information, it would be found that various principles had been assumed relative to the laws of nations to which we might not as a neutral nation choose to submit. It was true that the subject was connected with the revenue; so however, was every subject. Every subject, whether connected with a state of peace or war, would necessarily more or less affect the revenue. Though this was the case with this subject, it ought not to be considered as primarily connected with revenue. Under present circumstances we do not consider it principally connected with finance, but with other subjects. Mr. Bidwell said he had no particular wishes with regard to the committee to be appointed in this instance; but he did with the subject examined in more extensive views than was contemplated in the resolution.

Pleasing and Highly Interesting Intelligence!
BOSTON, Jan. 6.
We are indebted to Mr. Ezra Davis, of this town, for the following highly important and very agreeable information. Mr. Davis left the Vineyard on Wednesday evening the 1st inst. and says, that all our differences with the Spanish government were amicably settled to Mr. Pinckney's entire satisfaction. This most pleasing intelligence was brought to the Vineyard by the ship Resolution, Captain Daniel Rogers, of Gloucester, Cape-Ann, who left Lisbon the 20th November, and arrived at the Vineyard after a passage of 40 days. Mr. Davis took the precaution to make his minutes from the verbal communication of the Captain at the moment of his arrival. Capt. Rogers frequently saw Mr. Pinckney at Lisbon, who had sailed five days before capt. R. left that place, in a Swedish vessel bound for Charleston, South-Carolina. Mr. Pinckney told Capt. Rogers that the Spanish Court had agreed to pay for ships, cargoes & freights, according to their late stipulations with the American Government. It is understood also, that all our territorial disputes with Spain are happily settled; and that the general aspect of our diplomatic concerns in that quarter, was auspicious and flattering to a high degree.
Capt. Rogers also acquainted Mr. Davis, that the combined Fleet had lost but 5 ships in the late action off Cadiz—the other having drifted into the bay in the gale—and that the Spaniards were so impressed with this unexpected preservation of so many crippled vessels in that harbor, after the action, which they had despaired of ever seeing again, that they gave a loose to their joy by a general illumination—as an event which they believed a providential interference.
Capt. Rogers has dispatches on board for the administration, which no doubt will be sent forward by express as soon as they arrive at Cape-Ann. Mr. Pinckney cannot be expected for some time, as the vessel he was on board of was a dull sailer—This paper, therefore, will probably convey the first intelligence to Washington of this happy termination of our casual disputes with a friendly government, whose true interests are interwoven with those of this country, and whose commercial prosperity must be our first and most sincere wish. We can only add that we have taken the utmost pains to ascertain the above mentioned particulars, and have no doubt of their being substantially correct.
LATE FROM CAPE FRANCOIS.
By the Ariel, Captain Jenks, arrived at Baltimore, on Friday, in 10 days from the Cape, we learn the following particulars:
“That the schooner Mediator, Graves, arrived there the 3d instant—the day before she fell in with a French privateer in Square Handkerchief passage, and after beating her off, chased her ashore on a small key to the S. E. of Turks-Island. Capt. Graves hulled her several times with his 18 pounder. The privateer had 70 or 80 men, and 10 guns. That the ship John and James, of Baltimore, and ship Hindostan, of Philadelphia, had sailed for Gonaives. The Hindostan afterwards sailed for Jeremie; and the last accounts left a French privateer in chase of her. That the brig Orion, and schooner Greyhound, have been re-captured and sent into Jamaica.
“Capt. Jenks informs, that coffee was coming in fast; and also, confirms the account of the massacre of the crew of the brig Orion of Baltimore, except one man, who was sick below, and was not found till the next day.”
HIGHLY INTERESTING.
Extract of a letter from Charles Martin, Esq. Postmaster at Waterford, Erie county, to a gentleman in Lancaster, dated Dec. 5, 1805.
“Judson and Isaac Furren are just returned from Detroit. They bring bad news from that place—that the Indians are gathering in force, and threaten De-
troit with a second conflagration. The people are in great alarm, and turning out to arms in every direction. If they had not come away the day they did, they would have been enrolled in the militia next day. This I suppose is owing to the withdrawing of the troops, as there is now only a part of a company of artillery there, under capt. Dyson.”
From a BALTIMORE PAPER.
HORRID MURDER.
It has never fallen to our lot to record a more atrocious villany than the following, committed near Clarkburg, Virginia:—
Last night Abel Clemmons, at his place of residence on the lands of colonel George Jackson, within about a half mile of the town of Clarkburg under circumstances of the most unprecedented cruelty, murdered his wife far advanced in pregnancy, and their eight small children, the eldest about 12 years old, by striking them on the head with an axe while they were asleep in three separate beds, lying in the same room! The wounds that he gave it is supposed produced instantaneous death, dispatching each one with a blow—and every circumstance induces a belief, that those last dispatched, were unknowing to the catastrophe of the others. Clemmons had been preparing for some time, and fixed upon next Thursday, for his removal to the state of Ohio. A man named Neilly who purchased part of his crop went early this morning to the house, and was admitted by Clemmons, who was in great agitation, and apparently in a state of insanity—the family as Neilly supposed were asleep, except a little girl, niece of Clemmons, who stayed all night in the house—but knew nothing that occurred.
Neilly after conversing some time with Clemmons, left the house unsuspicious of what had happened; a brother of Clemmons who lived some miles off, and was going to remove with him, soon came to the house and found him in it, he enquired where the family were; Clemmons said asleep, he approached one of the beds to awake the oldest boy, and discovered that all the children in it were murdered! He accused his brother with the crime and then ran and alarmed the neighbors; before they assembled Clemmons had fled. Here was exhibited a scene the most shocking to relate; the wife and an infant in her arms lay in one bed, four daughters in another, two boys and one girl in a third; all murdered by the husband and the father—and what is very remarkable, he had always lived with them in a most affectionate manner, and they bore the character of honesty and industry. Clemmons had been for several weeks in a gloomy, melancholy mood, occasioned it was supposed by the great anxiety for the welfare of his family.—He is about thirty-three years old, 5 feet 7 inches high, built strong, fair complexion, light hair, and has lost some front teeth.

The extracts from Dr. Cowdery's Journal, are necessarily excluded from this day's paper.—We shall recommence their publication in our next.
Extract of a letter from the Charge des affaires of the United States at Algiers, to the consul of the United States, at Alicante, dated Algiers, Sept. 4, 1805.
“On the 30th ult. the soldiers rose in a body and murdered the Dey (Mustapha Bathaw) and his prime minister.—Hamet, late a secretary to his predecessor, was unanimously conducted to the palace, and proclaimed Dey of Algiers. Not a life was lost except the two first mentioned; no sort of confusion ensued. I have renewed our Treaty with the present Dey and Divan, according to custom.
“All is tranquil now, and the Moors at the time I last wrote, (in a state of insurrection) have laid down their arms since the accession of the present Dey to the sovereignty. He is said to be a good man—I knew him well previous to
his coming into power, as I did his officers who are all new.”
A letter from St. Thomas, of the 23 Oct. says—“About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a Water Spout broke and fell near this place, attended with a tremendous clap of thunder, and in less than ten minutes the water rose upwards of five feet. It has lodged more than 100,000 ton of stone—the holes this has made is frightful beyond description, for about a mile and a half along the road.”
The Legislature of South Carolina, commenced their winter session the 23d ult. at Columbia. Joseph Alston, Esq. is elected Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The Legislature of North Carolina, have elected Dr. Nathaniel Alexander Governor of that State.
Spanish Dollars.—Several banks of the city of Philadelphia, we learn, have come to a determination to have all the Spanish dollars they can procure, converted into American, whole, half, and quarter dollars. By this measure they intend to restrain the remittance of Spanish dollars to the E. Indies.
Last Saturday night we experienced a severe Storm from the S. E. We are informed the violence of the gale was such at New-London, that a ship was sunk at the wharf—That a brig owned by Messrs. Andrew & Joseph Perkins, of this City, ready for sea, was considerably damaged, and many other injuries were sustained by the shipping in the harbor.

It has heretofore been considered as expeditious travelling to go through in six hours—for this improvement we congratulate the public, who ought duly to appreciate the exertions of the Proprietors of the Turnpike—we fear the thanks of the public, will, at present, be their most solid remuneration—but we hope not the only one.

POETRY.
***** THE CARRIER OF THE RHODE-ISLAND REPUBLICAN, RESPECTFULLY PRESENTS TO ITS PATRONS, THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS.
IN those insipid barren times, In which nor wars nor horrid crimes Abound, the ever fertile brain Of my employer Madam Fame, Produces ample crops of fiction, On which I trade upon commission. But in the present state of things, When Peasants, Princes, Emperors, Kings, Electors, Viccounts, Earles and Dukes, And such-like great and mighty folks, Are deep engaged in scenes of plunder, Ravine, murder, blood and thunder, My mistress has enough to do, To publish what is really true , Without inventing one false story. For me, blest wight! to lay before ye, For crimes most foul and most enormous, And scenes of woe which ever charm us, Resulting from the state of warfare, In which the folks a great way off are, So thick and frequent have of late been, That fame is puzzled to relate them: On which account she has no time to, Add the things she has a mind to. While therefore these blest times continue, I nought but true accounts shall bring you. Perhaps the things which I have now laid, By some of you will be pronounced, Not only fictional , but unchristian , And I, an infidel Philistine . And while perhaps my speech I utter, You'll thus within your bosoms mutter, "We're not as yet such stupid shell-fish, That we the news of rapine relish, Delight to hear of human slaughter, And value blood no more than water." But here good sirs pray let me stop ye, My words are human nature's copy, And if by chance they've made you stare, You think you're better than you are. And when your own dear hearts you look at, You'll cease the things I've said to hoot at. For if you never take delight in Hearing news of murderous fighting, Pray tell me why you show such joy, At seeing war have full employ. What reason have you for rejoicing, To see the barb'rous Russians crossing Over Europe's seas and plains, To knock out other people's brains; Unless the soldier's dying groans, The mother's sighs, the widow's moans, The orphan's constant drooping tears, Sound sweetly in your ravish'd ears. What wrong has France to Russia done? What caus'd her savage hordes to come, From distant, cold, and icy regions, To massacre the Gallic legions? The love of blood! Oh then how christian, It is for you success to wish them! I'll now quit Europe's terra firma , And through her Islands make a journey; Remarking as along I pass, Those scenes of plunder and distress , Which will I know to you be grateful , Altho' to squeamish Romachs, hateful . To England then I'll first repair, And see what's going forward there. In this blest isle! this modern Eden! This garden which there's not a weed in! When times are hard, to steal or rob, Is thought an honorable job. Thus when the nation's purse is empty. And we have property in plenty, The King sends forth a gang of robbers, To capture, plunder, press and flog us. And when he's thus fill'd up his coffers, He most magnanimously offers, To pay us e'en the very first cost, Of all the goods which we had thus lost, Provided we'll but do an odd thing, Just pay his lawful fees for robbing. From this sweet Island now I'll turn me, And speed my flight to old Hibernia, Where tombs or murder'd Patriots rise, To greet with joy my ravish'd eyes. Here all the wretchedness and woe, That mortal man can ever know, Sit brooding o'er the plains and bogs, Like wintry storms or ev'ning fogs, And ev'ry bud of hope destroy, And shut out ev'ry beam of joy. If I were not of time so flingy, From hence I'd take a tour to India, And view those desolated fields, Where war has made most luscious meals. But what I've said has been so pleasant, I hope 'twill answer for the present. Newport, January 1, 1806.
