The Kentucky Hotel. THE Subscriber has leased of Mr. Henry Clay, for a term of years, that valuable stand for a Tavern, in the town of Lexington, formerly known by the name of Travellers' Hall, where he has opened a Hotel under the above stile. The situation of this property, on the public square, directly opposite the North East front of the court house, and in the centre of business, gives it peculiar advantages. Great expense has been incurred in repairs and improvements, and in point of space, convenience and comfort the apartments of the house are surpassed by none. A new stable has been erected on the back part of the lot which he ventures to pronounce is the best in the state, which will be under the immediate superintendence of Mr. William T. Barton. He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate and render agreeable the time of those who may favor him with their custom; and he trusts that from the attention which he means personally to give to every department of his business, he will be found to merit that patronage which he thus presumes to solicit from the public. Lexington, Jan 1st, 1809.
Cutberrt Banks Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine. THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Coleson's Patent for a machine, for breaking hemp and flax. One of those machines is now in operation on Maddox Fisher's farm, near this place, and is found admirably to answer the purpose for which it was intended. A machine with two breaks, is worked by one horse with ease, and requires six hands to attend it. One of the great advantages of this machine is, that it can be attended by women or boys, instead of men, and that a woman or boy can clean double the quantity of hemp or flax, which the most able-bodied man could do in the same time with a common hand-break. A farther account of the machine is deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed that those desirous of purchasing rights, will wish to satisfy themselves by seeing it in operation. Individual rights at twenty dollars, or rights for whole counties, may be procured by applying to either of the subscribers. Joseph Boswell, David Sutton, John Fisher, Geo. Lawes.
HAVING been called upon to state our opinions of a machine for breaking hemp and flax, which we saw in operation on Mr. Maddox Fisher's farm, we hesitate not to declare that we view it as an important acquisition to our state, and therefore recommend it to the attention of every farmer who cultivates either hemp or flax. The construction of the machine is simple and does not appear likely to get out of order. We suppose that one of those machines having two breaks and moved with ease by one horse, might be built for about 30 or 40$. We have no hesitation in stating that hemp may be broken in much greater quantities, with the same labour, and with ease to the hands employed, and that much delay, severe labour, and considerable expense might be saved to hemp raisers by the erection of these machines. T. T. Barr, Wm. W. Worsley, C. Coles, Bushrod Boswell, Robert R. Barr. Lexington, April 3th, 1809.
GENTLEMEN who have availed themselves of becoming subscribers to my late publication, are earnestly requested once more to call for their books; or, at least, to pay the amount of their subscription; or I shall be under the disagreeable necessity of making known to the public the names of those who have neglected the many invitations.

FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE. CATO, No. II. To the People of Kentucky. IN my last number, I promised to demonstrate to you, from the experience of your own government, that keeping down the taxes and giving low salaries, was not a saving to the state. I know I have hazarded a bold assertion, in doing this; but I will proceed to substantiate the ground which I have taken. Let me not be misunderstood, when I complain of low taxes and low salaries: I
am not an advocate for high ones. There is a medium in all things: either extreme is injudicious and injurious. We should always consider the end which is in view, and proportion the means to the end. Offices are created for the purpose of promptly and certainly administering the laws. Taxes and salaries are the means used to attain that end. If they are either too high or too low, they have a tendency indirectly to defeat the proposed object. I would use that kind of economy in the affairs of a state that I would use in private life, and as the head of a family.
What would you think of a man in private life, who had it in contemplation to build a mill or other usual machinery, and should fix his price for the work beforehand, at less than what an approved workman's candour and reputation would undertake it for? He would, of course, have to employ workmen whose want of talents had not given them a sufficiency of profitable business; or perhaps some young man who had not yet got into employment. The latter of those two would sometimes turn out well—sometimes ill; the other would certainly not do work of the best kind. From such a contract as this; from such workmen, what would you expect? That the owner when he set his mill to work would find a little amendment to make here; some alterations necessary there; some old pieces to be taken out, and new ones to put in; so that by patching & repairing he would at the end of two years, have paid more than would have been sufficient in the first instance to have insured good work. Add to this the time lost in making alterations has prevented his mill from doing half as much work as he might have done.
The mismanagement of this man would not excite your pity: you would laugh at his folly.
If this case is not sufficiently obvious, let me give one familiar to the humble walks of life. You have seen men distilling whiskey, who, instead of employing an experienced distiller, who would ask pretty high wages, would take some fellow whom he could employ for from eight dollars to twelve dollars per month. With the latter he goes to work. Sometimes he will suit well; sometimes he has but a poor run, at another a whole mashing of beer fours—and at the end of the season, he has not made, by a fourth, as much whiskey as he might. He then learns, by experience, his staller did not understand his business. He may console himself, that he has saved perhaps five dollars a month in the wages of his staller—a flat rate one would have charged that much or more. Poor consolation indeed! He has saved his five dollars, and lost hundreds! But he let out to save five dollars a month; he merited the consequences.
If such policy as this would be called folly in an individual, can it be deemed wise because the representatives of a state pursue it? Common sense forbids it.
That our state has pursued, and is pursuing this policy, I will proceed to show. In doing this, I must necessarily have a reference to offices and to officers. My intention is, not to approach the sensibilities of any man; and in the examples which I shall select, they shall be from the important offices of state, because they are generally known; and if I be incorrect in any respect, I shall the more easily be detected.
To elucidate the position I have here taken, that your representatives by saving small sums in salaries, have cost you large ones, I will, in the first instance, refer to your Penitentiary institution; not because here has been the greatest loss, but because the journal of the last legislature furnish me with data for calculations, obvious to the meanest capacity.
When this important change in our criminal law took place, and offenders for most crimes, were to be punished by confinement to hard labour, it was certainly not an experiment. And it was not to be expected, that every branch of the proposed system, was to be perfect at first. But it would seem to me, that it would at once have occurred to every reflecting mind, that as a variety of mechanical trades were to be carried on, and raw and unruly hands taught to labour, that it would have required the talents of the best mechanical kind in the state, to superintend them: I mean practical talents—not speculative. Such men are rare; and when found are always engaged in some practical business; profitable to themselves, and useful to their neighbourhood. Nothing but profitable salaries will ever induce men of this class to leave their homes, and undertake the business of the public.
Instead of a salary of the kind, (if I mistake not, and I write from memory) 500 dollars per year was allowed to the keeper; for which he must remove, with his family, to Frankfort; be engaged in the most unpleasant business; and necessarily expend considerable sums in a town residence.
Such an appointment was made as was to be expected from such a salary. The honesty, the integrity, and the goodness of heart, of the person first appointed keeper, I have never heard questioned by any one; but he wanted the mechanical talents to direct the labours of the convicts; he wanted the practical talent of knowing how much ought to be done, and the commanding authority to coerce it.
You all know the consequence: the institution uniformly brought the state in debt; I know not how much, but I believe several thousand dollars.
You must recollect the clamour then raised against the institution. Narrow minded politicians told you the institution was wrong in principle, and never could be mended, unless you must go back to your old policy of hanging criminals, or it would ruin you.
But others prevailed in procuring a farther experiment. They thought—your staller did not understand his business; and facts have shown it.
The former keeper resigned. The legislature of 1805 made an addition to the profits of the office. A man with talents suited to the office, was prevailed on to accept it for a year. That year's experiment exceeded expectation: it yielded a profit to the state. Your representatives in 1806, found that your staller understood his business, and they added to the profits of his office, in order to secure his continuance in it.
He then settled himself down contented in your employment, for he found his own interest and that of the state united. He carried on the business in such a manner that it annually yielded a profit to the state. The report of the joint committee of both houses of your legislature, who examined this institution during their last session, shews that during the three years Captain Samuel Taylor had been at the head of the institution, it had yielded a profit of upwards of 7,000 dollars.
Such was the contrast in the proceeds of the same institution under the direction of different men. One brought the state in
debt thousands of dollars—The other yielded a profit of thousands; and what produced this change? a few hundred dollars a year, addition to the profits of the office.
The former salary would not induce a suitable man to accept—The latter salary had the desired effect.
That it was the liberal policy which had guided your representatives for the two or three preceding years that held this man in office, let the sequel prove.
Your representatives at the last session found, that whilst the commanding general, Capt. Taylor was making thousands for the state, he was by his salary and profits of office (given him by a previous legislature to induce him to quit a profitable private business at home) making some money for himself. The short-sighted policy of which I have been speaking, was immediately brought into action. With many of your representatives it would seem to be a maxim that no man should thrive in your employment. Violent efforts were made to curtail materially the profits of his office. I am not certainly informed of the extent or progress of the attempt; but I believe a bill or an amendment to a bill to that effect, passed one house and was lost in the other. Certain it was that in some shape or other, that officer found in your representatives such a prevalent spirit of reducing the profits of his office—Of violating the inducement held out to him when he accepted it—In short, of recurring to the narrow policy which formerly prevailed over the institution—that with the indignation of a proud, honest, independent mind, the immediately informed them he would quit their employment.
More true to his word than he believed, your representatives to be the faith of the state, he has performed his promise; he has resigned his office.
The following extract from his letter of resignation, taken from the Argus of the 5th of July, bespeak the feelings with which he quit the office.
"Enclosed I send you my commission as keeper of the penitentiary, with a sincere hope that my successor in office may deserve and receive better of his country than I have while occupying the same. May future legislatures respect contracts between man and man, and between the commonwealth and individuals, according to the letter and spirit of the constitution; or may our government be so reorganized as to merit the respect of the good, and to command it of the wicked."
It is surely time for the people of Kentucky to look to their affairs, when the conduct of their representatives has brought such sentiments from a man of the first talents for the office he was in; when he was in the act of leaving it.
His successor may do well; I am informed he is a young man of promising parts. I believe a better appointment could not have been made under the circumstances which induced Capt. Taylor to resign. But never give up a certainty for an uncertainty, as a maxim as old as it is just.
This is the short history of the money saving policy applied to one branch of our government. It has caused your profitable staller to quit your employment in disgust; & with the haughty pride if you chose to call it by that name of conscious worth, retire into private life.
I shall take occasion in some future numbers, to trace its effects in some other departments.

NEW YORK, June 26. O Saturday noon, John Wood, a native of Scotland, & a rigger by profession, fell from the main yard of the ship India Packet into the hold, a height of 60 or 70 feet, and pitched with his bare head upon the stone ballast; yet, to the astonishment of every person who saw him, he was taken up alive, carried to the Hospital, and there is good reason to hope that he will recover—a memorable instance of preservation from death.
PHILADELPHIA, June 28. By a general order issued at Cape Francois on the 8th ult. it appears, that Christophe, a coup de main took the FORT of the Rebel (as he is called) John Dugotier, situated on the plantation Sabourin au Bout du Bois. The rebels made their escape by swift boats. Dugotier's papers, two cannons, four women and children, &c. are the fruits of this expedition.
Extract of a letter from Mr. L. H. Von Hollen, dated HAMBURGH, April 1809.
"Ships from America may with safety enter this port if provided with certificates of origin; copies of which it is required should be sent to Paris immediately after the departure of the vessel. No captain must suffer himself to be boarded by a British cruiser, as that might subject them to difficulty on their arrival here. But I think there is great likelihood of this being done away also very shortly."
"The French government has granted permission to all American vessels here, to depart in ballast; those loaded previous to the embargo may proceed with their cargoes. The Danish government also, permits neutrals to enter from, and depart for neutral ports, from ports in this neighbourhood. The French custom-house officers are still here." Balt. Fed. Gaz.
From the Havana Packet, June 16. Committee of Vigilance of Havana.
On the proposal of the Deputies, the Count of Salvandar and D. Joseph Maria de Xenes, the committee resolved at this session on the 9th inst. that public notice should be given,
—That the 20th of the present month is fixed as the peremptory and final period for the embarkation of the French who are to leave this island; it being understood, that such, as shall not have done so, shall next day be placed on board his majesty's ship Olivia in this bay. And the inhabitants of this city are notified, that those who know of the said French being concealed, shall give information to the commissary of the ward in which the house is situated; and also the house keepers and inhabitants will take notice, that if they do not give information, as is expected from them, they will suffer the penalty due to their offence.
FROM HALIFAX. We were yesterday favoured with a Halifax paper of the 16th inst. mentioning the arrival there of the Packet Mail from Falmouth for New-York. Her London papers are to the 6th May, the latest by one day.
The following are the only new articles which we find extracted:—
"LONDON, May 6.—Letters received from Holland mention a report of the king of Saxony having been arrested by order of Bonaparte, on suspicion of having carried on a secret correspondence with the emperor of Austria; but this is not confirmed."
"On the 28th ult. Lord Collingwood failed from Minorca for the Bay of Toulon, with 15 sail of the line. We have not learned, on this occasion, any thing, by way of Gibraltar, respecting the South of Spain."
"Yesterday the Admiralty had advice from Gijon, where the utmost activity prevailed to augment the army in that quarter, and to improve its discipline; to which the marquis de la Romana had particularly directed his attention. A letter was also received from Santander by a mercantile house. The garrisons which we have before stated to have been much reduced, had not been reinforced, and some expectation was indulged, that the French would abandon untenable, under their present circumstances, the entire province of Biscay."
EXTRACT OF A LETTER. "HALIFAX, June 15.—The London paper of 6, by the Packet, lays: Dutch papers are just received, containing a telegraphic communication, that the Austrians and French had met, and the former had experienced a defeat, attended with the loss of 25,000 men. I fear there is some truth in it."
Extract of a letter from St. Domingo City. "We still remain besieged by the Spaniards, and blockaded by the British, though not very strictly by the latter. At this moment there is scarcely an ounce of bread, beef, pork, butter, &c. to be had, excepting on some days a piece of horse meat, and others, a little fish, and a few vegetables. Government has a small quantity of provisions in store, but it is exclusively appropriated for the army. Since Ferrand's affair, the French have been victorious in every engagement with the Spaniards; have taken several of their works and cannon, and extended their lines to a considerable distance in the country. We are in good spirits at present, believing the embargo was raised the 4th of March, and looking out for American vessels daily. A small parcel of provisions which arrived since the siege, has sold at enormous prices, viz. butter, lard and cheese, at 2 dls per pound; beef 75 cents, pork 150 cents, potatoes and corn 25 cents per pound. Flour would sell for 50 dollars."—Pos. Cen.
[From the Boston Palladium, June 27] It was reported yesterday, that intelligence of the surrender of Guadalupe to the British, had been received at Salem, by an arrival from the W. Indies.
The following political picture of G. Britain is extracted from the London Sunday review of April 16. "The late exposure of the corruptions of every department of the government, appears to have electrified the people and they are rallying round the Standard of Parliamentary Reform in great numbers and with more spirit than has appeared for many years, and more men of influence and fortune now act with the reformers than have hitherto with them at any period since the breaking out of the French revolution."
"Should, however, Lord Castlereagh propose, and the British ministry adopt, the system of Proscription and Terror which he and his accomplices carried with fire and sword through Ireland, the people of England will shrink from the contest, and abandon their leaders to the vengeance of the government. We know the people of England well: they have many virtues, but they are political cowards. With this conviction, deeply impressed upon our minds, we cannot argue much good from their resolutions and their meetings. It must be something unexpected for, something altogether unexpected which will ameliorate the condition of the people of England, and give them that political consequence for which they sigh, and which is no where enjoyed but in the United States of America."—[Demo. Press.]
WASHINGTON CITY, June 28. The Senate yesterday confirmed the nomination by the President of the U. S. of John Q. Adams, as Minister Plenipotentiary to the court of St. Petersburg—Ayes 19, Nays 7.
JUNE 30.—The Extra Session of Congress, as our readers will perceive by the journal of proceeding, was on Wednesday brought to a close. We have neither room nor time in this paper to dilate on most of the measures discussed or adopted. But we cannot refrain from congratulating the public, thus early, on the harmonious issue of their deliberations connected with our foreign relations. It was to be expected, that the preliminary measures taken by the executive having so unequivocally obtained the approbation of the nation, would be received by the legislature with a correspondent disposition. This expectation has not been disappointed. The leading features of accommodation with the British government have been affirmed without a dissenting voice; and what is, perhaps, still more gratifying, the details for carrying these measures into effect have been adopted by almost unprecedented unanimity in both houses. In the Senate, the bill to amend and continue in force the act to interdict commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain and France, and their dependencies, was passed by an unanimous vote, in which every federal member participated. And in the House, by the strong vote of seventy-two to fifteen. Of the seventy-two affirmative votes, fifteen being federal, and of fifteen negative votes, ten being federal.
It is not to be inferred, that there was no diversity of opinion with regard to the most advisable means of carrying the general arrangement of the government into operation. The fact is, that there was considerable difference of opinion. But this difference was happily accompanied generally by a spirit of conciliation and accommodation. With respect to the admission or exclusion of the armed ships of foreign powers, much excitement existed. Some were for a total exclusion, unless admitted under treaty stipulation. Others were for exclusion of English and French armed vessels until the next session of Congress. Some were for the admission of English
and the exclusion of French vessels; and others for the admission of both. This last course has been pursued. It was probably principally recommended by a becoming solicitude, while the door of enmity was about to be opened with Great Britain, to convince France that that circumstance, provided she ceased to violate our rights, would be no obstacle to an accommodation with her, and by the uncontested fact, that although the affair of the Chesapeake put aside as completely atoned for, (which, by the way, though promised, remains yet to be done) still the other indignities and violences committed by English ships of war, at least equalled those committed by the ships of war of France.
We trust that the period has at length arrived, when the impartial measure of a just government with respect to foreign powers will be upheld by all parties; or, in other words, that with respect to our foreign affairs, there will be no party. This demonstration of public opinion will probably be more instrumental in commanding the respect of those powers, and in securing our rights, than every thing else which is in our power to do. The unwarrantable lengths to which party spirit has been extended, has unquestionably produced a general impression abroad that our government cherished hostile feelings towards the belligerents, and that in resisting such a disposition there was a large body of our citizens ready to support the one or the other belligerent in the most unjust pretensions. The harmony thus happily displayed, between the respective departments of the government, must go far to remove this impression, and, with the unbounded hopes it has inspired.
CARRIAGE, (Tenn.) June 22.
We are informed, that captain Edward Bradley, of Sumner county, and a Mr. Scott, from Kentucky, returning from Natchez, were attacked in their encampment by four unarmed Indians, who endeavoured to rob them of their property. Being repulsed, they retired muttering threats. As the night was dark, and having a creek to cross, capt. Bradley and Mr. Scott did not remove from their position. After some time the Indians returned with horses and guns, and again endeavoured to force their property. Being repulsed a second time, they retired to their fire-locks which provided they from the dampness of the evening, they could not discharge. Two of the Indians were mortal wounded with dicks or clubs, and a third who had been shot at capt. Bradley, received a knife in his entrails. They then took flight. At what place or what nation of Indians these robbers belonged, our informant could not say.
VERY DOUBTFUL,
INTELLIGENCE FROM SPAIN.
Per brig Expectation, Captain Turner, in 11 days from Laguira, we are indebted to a passenger on board for the following intelligence.
Two days previous to our departure from Laguira, accounts were received of the arrival of a schooner in Porto Cabello, which left Cadiz on the 10th of May; at that date all Catalonia was evacuated by the French, and the Patriots were in possession of Barcelona and Port Monjoy. The French troops that were only 20 leagues distant from Seville, retreated to Madrid. The ministerial gazette likewise contained the pleasing intelligence of a severe engagement having taken place between the French and Austrians, in which the latter were completely victorious, the former having lost 8000 killed, wounded and prisoners. Accounts were in circulation that Joseph Bonaparte had left Madrid for Paris.—Jackson's Political Register.
Captain George Harker having become disgruntled with the conduct of Gen. Wilkinson, has resigned his commission in the army. By this resignation the army is deprived of one of its most valuable officers—a loss that will be difficult to replace.
We are sorry to say that other officers besides Captain Peter, are disgruntled with the commander in chief, and have, or are about to throw up their commissions. It was known to many long since, that the Saxon Hero, never could command an army of any force. His low, dirty jealousy—his vile partiality—his want of moral character—his plunder of the public treasury—his late connection with the Spaniards, and still more recent participation in the famous Burr conspiracy, it was believed would ostracize any army, where many officers associated together. The independent spirit of the gentlemen of the army generally, will not permit them to truckle to "a little nameless brigadier"—and their high sense of honor forbids the belief for a moment, that they would join in any scheme of conspiracy, fraud or procuring a foreign pension. It would seem that this American Titus Oates, or as he has been aptly styled, the Jonathan Wild of the Burr conspiracy, is as rapidly sinking into contempt, as did the great prototypes in England; and it will be a matter of great surprise to us, if his latter end does not resemble theirs.
Congress is now in session—If they wish to preserve the army, let them provide a new commander in chief, or institute an enquiry into the conduct of Gen. Wilkinson, and if he appears pure, then in the name of Haver let him stand acquitted to the world. O-Gaz.
One Hundred Dollars Reward.

Forty yards of linen have been woven at it in twelve hours.
RUSSELVILLE, June 26.
On Saturday last, as a Mr. Andrew Thompson and others were returning home from a muster in this county, they called at the house of Mr. Daniel Millspaugh for a gun which Thompson had left there in the morning. On entering the house they found a strange man there alone, apparently in a deranged state. Supposing that he had frightened the family away, they concluded to take him to Esquire Neely's, a short distance off; he appearing rather refractory. Thompson to frighten him, presented and snapped an empty gun at him, threatening to shoot him if he did not comply; the man then started and went out of the yard, a few steps from the house, refusing to go farther; Thompson then presented his own gun at him and snapped it, supposing it not loaded, the gun fired, and the contents passed through the man's body; in a few hours he expired without giving any account of his name or residence; he was about 50 years of age, dark complexion, about 5 feet 7 inches high, very plain dressed. Thompson was bound over to the next July circuit for trial.
CHINESE CORRESPONDENCE.
[In a former paper we gave an account of the British expedition from Bengal and Panang, under Admiral Dury, to MOCACAO, a Portuguese settlement in the vicinity of Canton, and which is held under the Chinese government. By the arrival of a friend from that remote section of the Globe, we have been favored with a part of the correspondence which took place on that occasion, and which we insert for the amusement of our readers.
It may also afford some information relative to the ideas entertained of the British by that singular and very numerous people. The Americans are by the Chinese sometimes called Second Chop, (2d Seal) Englishmen Europeans and Americans are generally called together and called Fanquis, or "White Devils." The viceroy of Canton is commonly distinguished by the name of John Tuck, which is by some supposed to correspond with his title—he is considered as a very great man, and is as inaccessible as the Grand Seignor, in so much that Admiral Drury could not be permitted to appear in his presence.]
(TRANSLATION.)
A memorial of the Viceroy of Canton, to the commanders and merchants at Whampoa.
I, the Incontoe direct this Chop to let you know that you belong to an island in the middle of the sea. Your subsistence depends on your manufactures. From the goodness of our emperor you are permitted to come to Canton to trade. This is a favor of the highest importance, and most extensive kind. But your Admiral has disobeyed the laws by introducing soldiers into Macao without permission and your chief has joined with him in creating disturbances. I have informed the emperor, and he has issued his decree in return—I have directed the Mandarin to make you informed of the same, and to impress on you, with the utmost force the meaning of it. If the troops still persist in remaining here, I shall be obliged to send a great many soldiers to destroy them all—and this they will owe to the admiral and the chief; but as to you, I hold you all blameless. You must all remain peaceable, and continue to pay respect to the laws.
When the troops shall be removed, then I shall direct a memorial to the emperor, begging him to have the kindness to restore the trade to you as formerly—but you have the audacity to give ear to the admiral, and the English chief, and unite with them in creating disturbances, then I shall send numerous forces, in order to entirely destroy—and which they will do if you are as hard as rocks of jasper—and when it must be so, I shall be able to shew you no indulgence. In obedience to the laws is the first thing necessary—this is the chief object and meaning of this address.

Reply of the Incontoe of Canton to the Petition of the Agents and Commanders of the country ships.
(TRANSLATION.)
I, the Mandarin, Vice Incontoe of the 2 provinces Quangtong and Quangsi, deputed from the Tribunal of War, &c.
In reply to your letter, I have to inform you, that you private merchants, who come here to carry on your business, and in regard to the disorders which the English have come here to make, you are not included; but as you came here under the English flag, I cannot help interrupting your business jointly with theirs.
In regard to the goods you have landed, the Celestial Deity protects Prangas of different countries.
We can never retain or keep back your merchandise; therefore if you have no disposition to trade with this country, I shall order the merchants to restore entirely every thing that belongs to you; but if you wish to continue your commerce as heretofore, and if you have any goods to land, you must wait till all the soldiers are embarked, and then you shall take in and deliver cargoes; therefore you must remain peaceable and be quiet, waiting the conclusion of this business, without its being necessary to repeat your request.

THE LATEST FROM FRANCE.
The arrival of the Fair American in this port from Dunkirk, whence she sailed the 8th of May last, furnishes us with bulletins of the army of France and the confederation under the command of Napoleon.
However important the details, much of their impression is lost in the anticipated fate of the Austrian forces and empire. Events which we have frequently noticed as necessary results from her unequal contest with the gigantic power of France. The details will be found in our succeeding columns.
Mr. Purviance, who went out messenger to France in the Union, and not in the Mentor as stated by Poulson, came passenger in the Fair American, and is the bearer of dispatches from General Armstrong. Mr. Daschkoff a Charge d'affairs from the Court of St. Petersburg to the United States, came passenger with Mr. Purviance. The arrival of this gentleman, together with the nomination of Mr. John Quincy Adams as Minister to Russia, with closed doors, are circumstances of considerable importance, and open a wide field for political speculation.
There is one great point in which Russia and America have more at stake than any other power—it is the Freedom of the Seas. This great principle was a favorite object with Catharine and unquestionably lay at the bottom of the celebrated armed neutrality of 1782, and although the peace of 1783, put an end to the hope of affecting that important object at that time, yet it should be remembered that her acknowledgment of the Independence of these United States was one of the fruits of that glorious struggle.

Head quarters Ratisbon, April 24.
The Austrian army passed the Inn the 20th of April. On that quarter hostilities have begun against France, her allies, and the confederation of the Rhine.
The following is the position of the French forces and their allies:
The corps of the Duke of Rivoli at Ulm; The corps of gen. Oudinot at Augsburg; The head-quarters are at Straubing.
The three Bavarian divisions under the command of the Duke of Dantzig, are divided in the following manner:
The 1st, commanded by the Prince Royal, at Munich. The second, commanded by gen. Deroy at Landshut. The third, commanded by gen. De Wrede, at Straubing.
The Wittenberg division at Heydenheim. The Saxon troops, encamped under the walls of Drellen.
The corps of the duchy of Warsaw, commanded by Prince Poniatowski, at Warsaw.
On the 10th, the Austrian troops invaded Passau, where a battalion of Bavarians shut themselves up. They invested at the same time Kuffien, where likewise a Bavarian battalion shut themselves up. This movement took place without firing a gun.
The court of Bavaria quitted Munich to go to Dillengen. The Bavarian division which was at Landshut went to Altdorf, by the left bank of the Isar.
The division commanded by gen. De Wrede went to Neustadt.
The duke of Rivoli departed from Ulm and went to Augsburg.
From the 10th to the 16th, the army of the enemy advanced from the Inn towards the Isar. Parties of cavalry met, and had several skirmishes, in which the Bavarians had the advantage. On the 16th at Pfaffen-hofen, the 2d and 3d regiments of Bavarian light-horse overthrew the hussars of Spittchitz, and the dragoons of Rosenberg. At the same time, the enemy presented themselves in considerable force to fall upon Landshut. The bridge was broken, and the Bavarian division commanded by gen. Deroy, opposed a strong resistance to this movement. But being menaced by columns which had passed to Moorburg, and to Freyung, this division retired in good order towards that of gen. Wrede. And the Bavarian army concentrated itself near Neustadt.
The emperor's departure from Paris April 13.
The emperor was informed by means of the Telegraph on the 12th, of the Austrian army having passed the Inn, & immediately left Paris the same moment. He arrived on the 16th at Louviers, at 3 o'clock in the morning, and in the afternoon of the same day at Dillegen, where he saw the king of Bavaria, passed half an hour with this prince, promised to bring him back to his capital in fifteen days, to revenge the affront done his house, and to make him greater than any of his ancestors had ever been. On the 17th, at 2 in the morning, his majesty arrived at Donauwerth, where the head quarters were established, and gave immediately the necessary orders.
The 18th, the head quarters were removed to Ingolstadt.
BATTLE OF PFAFFENHOFEN.
April 19.
On the 19th, gen. Oudinot departed from Augsburg, arrived at the break of day at Pfaffen-hofen, met from 3 to 4000 Austrians, attacked and dispersed them, and made 300 prisoners.
The Duke of Rivoli with his corps d'armee arrived the next day at Pfaffen-hofen.
The same day the Duke of Auerstadt left Ratisbon to fall upon Neustadt, and to approach nearer to Ingolstadt. It then appeared evident, that the project of the emperor was to manoeuvre the enemy, who had decamped from Landshut, to attack them the moment they thought themselves secure, and to march towards Ratisbon.
BATTLE OF TANN.
April 19.
On the 19th, at day break, the Duke of Auerstadt marched in two columns: the divisions of Morand and Gudin composing his right. The division of St. Hilaire arrived at the village Peiling, and met the enemy, superior in number, but inferior in value.
From that moment, the campaign was opened by a combat glorious to our arms. Gen. St. Hilaire, supported by general Friant, overthrew all that was before him, forced the positions of the enemy, killed a great number, and made from 6 to 700 prisoners. The 72d distinguished itself on this day, and the 57th maintained its ancient reputation. Sixteen years since, this regiment was called in Italy The Terrible, and it has well justified its name in this affair, as by itself it successfully attacked and overthrew six Austrian regiments.
On the left, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, gen. Morand met likewise an Austrian division, which he attacked in the van, while the Duke of Dantzig, with a Bavarian corps, which came from Abensburg, attacked them in the rear. This division was soon routed from all its positions, and left some hundreds dead, and prisoners. The old regiment of dragoons of Levenher was destroyed by the Bavarian light-horse, and its colonel killed.
At the close of day, the corps of the Duke of Dantzig formed a junction with the Duke of Auerstadt.
In all these affairs, the generals St. Hilaire and Friant particularly distinguished themselves.
These unhappy Austrian troops who had been brought from Vienna, with the noise of songs and fife, were made to believe, that there was no longer any French army in Germany, and that they had only to go with Bavarians and Württembergers. They flew all their regiments against their chiefs for the errors into which they had led them, and their terror was very great at the sight of those ancient bands whom they had been accustomed to consider as their masters.
In all these battles our loss has been considerable, in comparison to that of the enemy, who lost many officers and generals, who were compelled to put themselves in the van to encourage their troops. The prince of Lichtenstein, the general Lichtenstein, and several other officers were wounded. The loss of the Austrians in colonels, and officers of inferior grade, is very considerable.
BATTLE OF ABENSBERG.
April 20.
The emperor resolved to fight and destroy the corps of the Arch Duke Lewis, and that of gen. Hiller, together 60,000 strong. He gave orders to the Duke of Auerstadt to hold in check the corps of Hohenzollern, of Rosenberg, and of Lichtenstein, while with the two divisions of Morand and Gudin, the Bavarians and Württembergers, he would attack the front of the army of the Arch Duke Lewis and of general Hiller: and that by means of the Duke of Rivoli he would cut off the enemy's communications, by causing
him to go to Freyung, and from there by the rear guard of the Austrian army. The divisions of Morand and Gudin formed the left and moved under the orders of the Duke of Montebello. The emperor fought at the head of the Bavarians and Württembergers. He caused to unite in a circle, the officers of the two armies, and spoke to them for a long time. The Prince Royal of Bavaria translated in German that which he spoke in French. The emperor made known to them the confidence which he placed in them; he told the Bavarian officers that the Austrians had always been their enemies, and that it was their independence which he aimed at. That for two centuries past, the Bavarian colours had been displayed against the house of Austria. But that now he would render them so powerful, that he would make them henceforward irresistible.
He spoke to the Württembergers of the victories they had gained over the house of Austria, whilst they served in the Prussian armies; and of the late advantages they had obtained in the campaign of Silesia. He told them that the moment of vanquishing was come, to carry the war into the Austrian territory. This discourse was repeated to the companies by their captains, and the different arguments which the emperor had made, produced the desired effect.
The emperor then gave the signal for battle, and apportioned his manoeuvres according to the particular character of his troops. Gen. De Wrede, an officer of great merit, placed before the brigade of Siegenburg, attacked an Austrian division which was opposed to him. Gen. Vandamme, who commanded the Württembergers, fell upon them on their right flank. The Duke of Dantzig, with the division of the Prince Royal and that of gen. Duroy, marched upon the village of Renhausen, to arrive on the great road of Abensburg at Laßadt. The Duke of Montebello with his two French divisions forced the extremities on the left, overthrew what was before him, and advanced upon Rohr and Rothenbach. On all parts the cannonade was kept up with success. The enemy, disconcerted by these measures, fought only for an hour, and then retreated. Eight colours, 12 pieces of cannon, 18,000 prisoners, were the result of this affair, which cost but few men to us.
Battle and capture of Lansbut, on the 21st.
The battle of Abensberg having uncovered the flank of the Austrian army and the magazines of the enemy, the emperor proceeded on the 21st on the point of Slay to Landshut, and the Duke of Istria overthrew the enemy's cavalry in the plains before this town. The general division Mouton, ordered the grenadiers of the 17th forming the head of the column, to march over the bridge with fixed bayonets: this bridge which is of wood was on fire, but this was no obstacle to our infantry, which passed it and penetrated into the town. The enemy driven from his position, was attacked by the duke of Rivoli, who filed out the right side. Landshut was in our position, and with it we took 30 pieces of cannon, 9000 prisoners, 600 artillery pieces with horses put to them, and full of ammunition, 3000 wagons with baggage, three superb equipages of the bridge and the hospital, and the magazines which the Austrians had begun to form. Couriers and aids de camp of the gen. in chief, prince Charles, and convoy, so fast coming to Landshut, were astonished to find the enemy there, had the same fate.
BATTLE OF ECKMUHL, THE 22d.
While the battles of Abensburg and Landshut, had such important consequences, prince Charles united himself to the corps of Bohemia, commanded by gen. Kollowrath and obtained a feeble success at Ratisbon. One thousand men of the 65th regiment, left to guard the bridge of Ratisbon had received no orders to retreat. Surrounded by the Austrian Army and having exhausted their ammunition these brave soldiers were obliged to surrender. This was sensibly felt by the emperor. He swore that in 24 hours the Austrian blood should flow in Ratisbon to avenge this affront done his arms.
At the same time the dukes of Auerstadt, and of Dantzig, kept the corps of Rosenberg, of Hohenzollern, and of Lichtenstein in retreat. No time was to be lost. On the morning of the 22d the emperor began his march from Landshut with the two divisions of the Duke of Montebello, the corps of the duke of Rivoli, the divisions of the cuirassiers Nansouty, and Saint Sulpice, and the Württemberg divisions. At 2 o'clock, P. M. he arrived at Eckmuhl, where the four corps of the Austrian army forming 110,000 men were posted under the command of the Archduke Charles. The Duke of Montebello, attacked the enemy on the left with the division Gudin. On the first signal the duke of Auerstadt and of Dantzig and the division of the light-horse of gen. Mouton charged.
There was seen then one of the finest shows, which war could produce. One hundred and ten thousand enemies charged on every point, turned on the left and were fearfully driven from all their positions. The details of the military events would be too long, it would be enough to say, that completely routed, the enemy lost the greatest part of their cannon and a great number of prisoners, that the 10th regiment of light infantry of the division St. Hilaire covered itself with glory by attacking the enemy, and that the Austrians driven from the woods that cover Ratisbon, were thrown into the plains and cut off by the cavalry. The Emperor Demont general of division, had a horse killed under him. The Austrian cavalry, strong and numerous presented itself to protect the retreat of their infantry; the division Saint Sulpice on the right, the division Nansouty on the left, charged them; the line of hussars and cuirassiers of the enemy were put to the route. More than three hundred cuirassiers of the Austrians were made prisoners. Night approached. Our cuirassiers continued their march to Ratisbon. The division Nansouty fell in with a column of the enemy that fled, they charged it, and made them prisoners, it was composed of three Hungarian battalions of 1500 men.
The division Saint Sulpice charged another squadron in which the prince Charles was nearly taken. He owed his safety only to the speed of his horse. This column was equally broken or taken. The darkness obliged us to make a stop. In this battle of Eckmuhl only one half of the French troops were engaged. The enemy driven before us with sword in hand, continued all night to file off in parcels and in the most shocking disorder, all the wounded, the greatest part of the artillery, 15 colours, and 2000 prisoners have fallen into our power. The Cuirassiers have crowned themselves with glory as they are accustomed to do.
The battle and capture of Ratisbon, the 23d.
The 23d on the point of day, we advanced on Ratisbon, the advanced guard formed by the division of Gudin and by the Cuirassiers of the divisions Nansouty and St. Sulpice, were not long perceiving the cavalry of the enemy attempting to cover the town. Three successive charges were made, all to our advantage, hacked and cut to pieces, 8000 of the cavalry repassed precipitately the Danube; during these actions our shooters tried the town. By an inconceivable disposition, the Austrian General had placed therein 6 regiments to be sacrificed without reason. The town is surrounded by bad walls, by a bad ditch and by a bad contrescarp. The artillery arrived, a battery of 12 pounders was opened, an issue was discovered by which, with a ladder they could descend into the ditch and remount afterwards by a breach we had made in the wall.
The duke of Montebello caused a battalion to enter this breach which gained a position and from thence the city. All that resisted were put to the sword. The number of prisoners exceeded 8000. In consequence of their bad arrangements, the enemy had not time to cut down their bridge and the French passed it mixed with the Austrians to the left side. This unfortunate city, which they had the barbarity to defend, has suffered greatly. It was on fire part of the night, but by the assiduity of general Morand and his division, it was extinguished.
Thus at the battle of Abensberg the emperor beat separately the two corps of the arch duke Lewis and general Hiller. At the battle of Landshut, he took possession of the centre of the communications of the enemy, and of the general deposit of their magazines and artillery. Finally, at the battle of Eckmuhl, the four corps of Hohenzollern, Rosenberg, Kollowrath, and Lichtenstein, were defeated and put to the route. The corps of general Bellegarde arrived the morning after the battle: he could only be a witness to the taking of Ratisbon, when he fled to Bohemia.
The first information of the military operations which have opened the campaign in so brilliant a manner, will be followed in detail of all the deeds in arms which have rendered illustrious the French and her allied arms.
In all our combats our loss has not exceeded 1200 killed and 4000 wounded. The general of division, Cervoni, chief of the staff major of the duke of Montebello, was struck by a cannon ball, and fell dead upon the field of battle at Eckmuhl. He was an officer of merit, and had distinguished himself in our first campaigns. At the combat of Peiling, General Hero, chief of the staff major of the duke of Auerstadt, was likewise killed. The duke of Auerstadt regrets very much this officer, whose valor, intelligence and activity he esteemed. The general of brigade, Clement, commandant of a brigade of cuirassiers of the division of St. Sulpice, had his arm shot off. He is an officer of courage and of distinguished merit. General Schram has been wounded. The colonel of the 14th hussars has been killed in an attack. In general, our loss of officers has been considerable. The 1000 men of the 65th, which has been made prisoners, have been for the most part, retaken. It is impossible to shew more valor and more good will, than is shewn by our troops.
At the battle of Eckmuhl, the corps of the duke of Rivoli, not having been able to join, this marshal remained constantly near the emperor, and carried the orders for the execution of different manoeuvres. At the assault of Ratisbon the duke of Montebello, who had designed the place of passage, caused the ladders to be carried by his aid-de-camps.
The prince of Neufchatel, in order to encourage the troops, and to give at the same time a proof of confidence to the allies, marched several times in the van guard with the Bavarian regiments.
The duke of Auerstadt has given in the different affairs, new proofs of the intrepidity which characterizes him.
The duke de Rivoli, with as much earliness as intrepidity, traversed the enemy's legions frequently in order to make known to the different columns the intentions of the emperor.
Of 120,000 men which composed the Austrian army, all were engaged except the 40,000 under general Bellegarde. In the French army, on the contrary, nearly one half did not fire a musket. The enemy astonished at the rapid movements beyond calculation, have found themselves deprived of their foolish hope, and are transported from a delirium of presumption into approaching despair.
