LATE AND VERY IMPORTANT FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Translations from the Federal Gazette. [CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST.]
LETTER FROM GENERAL COUNT DE PALFFI.
General, His Royal Highness the Archduke Palatine, in his quality of supreme, civil and military chief of Hungary, has charged the undersigned to declare, that his royal highness has established along the western frontier of this kingdom, a cordon of troops, supported by small detachments of cavalry, composed of invalids and recruits, with the sole view of arresting the marauders of the Austrian army, who may be found there. It cannot, therefore, be supposed that he has any hostile views, these detachments having positive orders to retire on the approach of the French troops to the frontiers. As these small detachments, which should not be considered otherwise than scouting parties, are to fall back at the approach of the French army, his royal highness has given orders to the hospitals, to the houses of education, to the pensionary officers, and to the individuals employed in arranging the accounts of the regiments and military hospitals, to remain in their places, persuaded that the general or commander of the French troops will not refuse to grant them the necessary protection, and that he will give orders that the detachments of the French army which shall enter Hungary, shall not commit any excess, provided no kind of opposition be made to them, and that in consequence of this declaration, the undersigned will have many important points to discuss with the general or commandant of the French troops. He requests him to grant a meeting on parole in a boat in the middle of the Danube. He waits his answer and has the honor to be his very humble servant, LEOPOLD, COUNT PALFFI, Maj. Gen. Commandant at Freiburg.
ANSWER. Of marshal Davoust to General count de Palff. GENERAL I have laid before his majesty the letter, which you addressed to the commandant of my light cavalry. His majesty has charged me to make known, through you to his Royal Highness the archduke palatine, that he is ready to respect the neutrality of the Hungarians, and to forbid his army to enter the frontiers of Hungary, if on his part his Royal Highness the archduke palatine will withdraw their troops, to make no insurrection, to continue to supply Vienna with provisions, and in fine to conclude between them, the archduke Palatine and his majesty the emperor of the French, a convention tending to maintain harmony between the two countries. I am authorised to permit any officer to pass, whom his Royal Highness the archduke Palatine may wish to send to my sovereign to treat on this basis. I shall feel myself happy in thus having an opportunity of doing a favor to your countrymen, and promoting the welfare of a people possessed of so many estimable qualities as those of Hungary are. I have the honor to be, Mr. General, Your very humble servant, (Signed) L. DAVOUST, Marshal of the empire, and one of the Colonel-Generals of the guard of his majesty the emperor & king.
VENETIAN STATES, Nov. 3. Since the army under Gen. St. Cyr, consisting of 23,000 men has joined marshal Massena, we learn that the French will still maintain a garrison in the port of Ancona, probably to oppose the Russians, should they attempt a landing from Corfu. VIENNA, Nov. 6. We are anxiously waiting for intelligence from both armies; and although we do not know any thing of the recent transactions in Italy, we may however, be allowed to rejoice at the official report published to-day, announcing the success of our arms there. The following is the purport of this intelligence: Yesterday (the 5th inst.) major general count Buena arrived here, bringing the emperor a detail of the obstinate but glorious engagements which have taken place near Caldiero; from the field of battle, in the vicinity of that town, the arch duke Charles dispatched count Buena. On Oct. 29, the enemy had crossed the Adige near Verona, for the second time. He had repulsed our outposts in the position near Caldiero, and made a smart attack on our entrenchments there, but was beaten back with loss. On the 30th, Gen. Massena repeated the attack in the entrenchments with 4 divisions. It appeared evident that his plan was to throw the centre of the Austrian army into confusion.

The archduke Charles was previously aware of his intentions, and in the night had ordered the corps de reserve to advance in support of the entrenchments. The battle lasted from noon till late in the evening, with the greatest obstinacy and hatred.
While the battle was thus maintained at Caldiero, the French general Molitor attacked our right wing and the entrenchments near Colognola; but the exertions of our troops were crowned by the best results at all points. The enemy was repulsed. The standards of the 5th regiment, and more than 2000 prisoners, fell into our hands and the number of dead is computed at 5000. The loss of our troops is much less, but is not stated.
On the 31st the enemy attacked the entrenchments of Chiavico del Christo, at our left wing. The action continued till the evening; on this day also the enemy was everywhere repulsed. On the 1st. Nov. our army stood firm and unconquered, the right wing under marshal Bellegarde, near Illat and Colognola; the centre under count Argenteau, near Caldiero; and the left wing under prince Reuss, near Arcole, on the Etich. Gen. Davidovich is posted with a corps near Bevilacqua; and prince Rosenberg in the mountains. The emperor, in pursuance of the archduke Charles's wishes, has conferred on marshal Bellegarde the cross of Maria Theresa—a regiment on gen. Voigezang; and the rank of maj. gen. on count Von Wretzenwolf.
The intelligence from the army which is posted in Austria, above the Enns, is not of so consoling a nature. The enemy having crossed the Inn near Wasserburg and Muhlberg on the 28th of Oct. pressed forward to the Salza, and conveyed a great number of troops in pontoons to the right side, which impedes our march to Salzburg. On the 31st, the enemy attacked major general Schustuck at Haag, with three divisions, and forced him to retreat to Lambach, although supported by two battalions of Russian chasseurs, who valiantly attacked the enemy twice with the bayonet. Count Golowkin, the commander of the Russian chasseurs, was killed. The number of killed and wounded did not exceed 400. The enemy's loss was more considerable.
After our troops had crossed the Traun, and the Russian battalions above mentioned had retreated to Wels, the bridges were broken down. On the 1st. Nov. the division of the prince of Hohenlohe marched to Steyer; and that of gen. Moudes proceeded to the environs of Kremsmunster. The advanced posts of count Notitz stood on the Traun, between Ebersdorf and Wels; those of gen. Schustuck between Wels and Traunfall; and those of colonel Welsko between Traunfall and the Trauer Lale.
Nov. 9.
Our court has retired to Olmutz, whither it has been followed by the foreign ministers. The situation of quarter master general, lately held by gen. Mack, has been conferred upon general Schmidt. Within the last week the Austrian army in Germany has received considerable reinforcements of Russians, Hungarians and the reserve of the different regiments. The Russian emperor will most probably have an interview with our monarch in Moravia. The Austro Russian army has received orders to continue its retreat; the Russians under Kutusow forms the centre; the corps under Kienmayer the left wing, and that under gen. Meerfeld the right of this army, which must soon consist of more than 100,000 men. A numerous body of Russians is on its march through Silesia, and the Austrians are assembled in Bohemia and Moravia.
Nov. 11.
To-morrow or the day after the French troops will march into the city. The Austro Russian army retreats towards Moravia and Hungary; it has passed the Danube: in those parts of the Austrian territories which are occupied by the French contributions have been levied, in money and provisions to the amount of 14,000,000 livres. The government persist in the resolution not to conclude a separate peace, but on the contrary will exert itself with the utmost activity against the enemy, in concert with Russia and its other allies.
PARIS, Nov. 21.
SIXTH BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF ITALY.
Head quarters, Pasteriano, 13th Nov.
The army on its march to the Piavo has met with but weak obstacles; from the Piavo to the Tagliamento it saw fly before it some corps of cavalry which seemed to observe it, but whose retreat was calculated in such a manner as to avoid any engagement. It was at the Tagliamento that the enemy appeared willing to wait for us; he had reunited on the left bank six regiments of cavalry and four regiments of infantry, and their countenance made us presume that they would defend spiritedly the passage.
The general in chief had no disposition at first but to reconnoitre the position of the cavalry. The division of chasseurs commanded by gen. d'Espagne, those of the dragoons and cuirassiers commanded by the genl's Marmet and Pully, had posted themselves on the river, while the divisions of Duhesme and Seras marched on to St. Vito, and those of the genl's Molitor and Gardanne directed them on Valvason.
Gen. d'Espagne had received orders to push forward the reconnoitring parties. On the 12th, at six o'clock in the morning, a squadron which he had caused to pass the river, was charged by a regiment of Austrian cavalry; it supported the attack with intrepidity, and gave time to gen. d'Espagne to pass, in advance of the enemy, who was immediately repulsed and put to flight. Our artillery, in the meanwhile, was placed in its position. The cannonade began from one bank to the other; it was very lively and continued the whole day. The enemy had placed thirty pieces behind a dike; we had but eighteen and our artillery preferred their accustomed superiority. The division
of infantry arrived towards the evening. The gen. in chief, satisfied with the advantages he had gained, and which assured him new ones, would not immediately effect the passage; he contented himself with making his dispositions the next day, persuaded that he could make a more decisive stroke; the divisions had united themselves on the points indicated, at St. Vito and at Valvason; it was on these two points where they ought to pass the river, to turn and cut off the enemy. Prince Charles, without doubt was fearful of the execution of this plan; he did not think it prudent to remain in his situation until day light, and at midnight he took up his retreat on the road of Palma Nova. The army passed the Tagliamento with the regret of having no enemy to fight with, and it was then that we learnt fully the effects of the preceding day's business; the left bank was covered with dead men and horses, which had perished by the effect of our artillery.
The army continues its march; the hopes of overtaking and fighting the enemy adds to its important ardor. It has learnt all that the ground army has done, and the desire of seconding its movements, and to answer this confidence of the emperor, agitate it constantly. The advance guard every day takes prisoners, which serve to increase the number that we have already made. The weather continues to be favorable; we are at work to repair the bridges of the Piavo and Tagliamento.
SEVENTH BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF ITALY.
HEAD-QUARTERS, Gorizia, Nov. 17.
The enemy on abandoning the banks of the Tagliamento, retreated towards Palma-Nova. They did not attempt to defend that place which they might have held with advantage, and it was several miles from there that we overtook their rear—several trifling skirmishes ensued in which we however made a number of prisoners. On the 15th, the army formed in two columns and embarked on the Isonzo. The advanced guard commanded by gen. Espagne entered Gradiska, two hours before dark, where the Austrians made but a feeble resistance. The horse chasseurs then ascended the right bank of the river to proceed to Gorizia, and the division Seras established itself at the same time at Sagrado, on the left bank. The day following, the divisions, Molitor, Gardanne and Partonneaux, proceeded along the banks of the river, with the view of crossing below Gorizia, but the pontoons not having arrived, its passage could not be effected at that place.
The division Seras and, Duhesme marched to Rubia and Savona. Their advanced posts pressed closely on the enemy, an engagement ensued, at the termination of which their cavalry fell back in the utmost disorder and their artillery escaped only under favor of the night. We drove them as far as the walls of Gorizia.
The general in chief made the arrangements for a general attack on the morning of the 17th—but the Austrians did not wish to expose themselves to the hazard of an engagement—and even took advantage of the night to hasten their retreat. Gen. Espagne pursues them with cavalry and light infantry and has orders to pursue them as far as Leybach.
The army has taken a position on the Isonzo. Three hundred additional prisoners are in our rear, and others are continually arriving. The magazines collected at Udine and Palma-Nova fell into our hands.
The gen. in chief speaks highly of the exertions of the army. It undergoes with courage and alacrity the fatigues and privations unavoidable in so rapid a march. It is a pledge which it glories in offering to his majesty the emperor and king.
NINTH BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF ITALY.
HEAD-QUARTERS at Gorizia, Nov. 26.
The gen. in chief being informed by different advices & particularly by a letter from gen. Vial, ambassador from his imperial and royal majesty at Berne, that a corps of the Austrian army which was cut off by the manoeuvres of the grand army was about to descend the mountains of the Tyrol, he expected that this column would endeavor either to cross the line of the army in order to reach the defiles of Venice and unite with the troops which occupy that place, or passing by Feltry and Belluno, to join the wreck of prince Charles's army at Leybach. In the first hypothesis, the position of the right wing which he had left to observe Venice, under the command of lieut. gen. Gouvion St. Cyr, satisfied him that the enemy would not attempt that route with impunity. In the second hypothesis, having ordered the two Pontebat and Chiusa de Pleta to be occupied by several regiments of cavalry and infantry under the command of genl's of brigade Lacour and Lanhaudin whichever road the enemy should take, the position of the army on the Isonzo, was such as to enable it to detach a sufficient force to cut him off. In the mean time the advanced guard continued its march to Leybach. The column consisting of about 7 thousand foot and 1200 horse, commanded by prince Rohan, advanced on the 23d to attack Bassano. It easily captured the weak detachment of 150 men which formed its garrison, and directed its march to Castle Franco.
As soon as lieut. gen. St. Cyr was informed of this circumstance, judging that the object of the enemy was to cross our line, of the force whereof, he must undoubtedly have been ignorant, he made arrangements to give it a warm reception. The gen. in chief who had anticipated every thing felt perfectly easy; but in order to leave nothing to the hazard of events, he ordered the division of the grenadiers, commanded by gen. Partonneaux, the two brigades of division, Duhesme and Seras, the division of cuirassiers and one brigade of dragoons to reach the Piavo by forced marches. The grenadiers were to descend the Piavo by I' Belo del Mantello to turn the position of Bassano. The division Gardanne marching at the same time to
Venstone, was to reinforce the detachment sent to the two Pontebat, to cut off every avenue of retreat from the enemy in case he should have taken the route by Belluno and Piero-di-Cadore, to reach Villach and join prince Charles at Leybach. The gen. in chief had left the residue of the army at the Isonzo, under gen. Duhesme, and proceeded himself to the Piavo to superintend the movements which he had ordered to be made.
Lieutenant general St. Cyr manoeuvred to reconnoitre and impede the enemy; he formed a column from the divisions Regnier, Lecchi and Verdier, and remained himself at Campo San Pietro, with the Polish regiment commanded by gen. Peyri. Gen. Regnier a Navale had orders to march on the 24th at day break to Castel Franco.—The enemy, perceiving their dangerous situation, commenced the attack. They precipitated themselves on the division Regnier, who received them with great bravery, and soon threw them into confusion. They returned several times to the charge, but were always opposed by the same bulwark. In the mean time lieut. gen. St. Cyr made a movement with the Polish regiment, and turned the enemy. It was now nothing but a complete flight as far as Castel Franco, where our troops arrived as soon as the Austrians. All that had not either been killed on the field of battle, or taken prisoners, offered to capitulate—6000 infantry and 1000 horse fell into our hands; which were many more than we had opposed to them of effective men; but they perceived, as the necessary result of our arrangements, that their loss would be inevitable. Gen. prince Rohan, who commanded the corps, several colonels and many other officers, are among the number of our prisoners—6 colors and 1 standard, 12 pieces of cannon, all their baggage waggon, and an immense quantity of baggage are the result of our victory—Two standards were lost on the field of battle. We have not to lament the loss of 100 men in this engagement; and have recovered the garrison captured by the enemy at Bassano.
A corps of Croats, which it is presumed made part of the above column, remains at the gap of the mountains; and it will be difficult for it to escape us; the measures which have been taken, ensure it a similar fate.
Lieut. gen. Gouvion St. Cyr has evinced great skill in these manoeuvres. He gives great credit to the chief of battalion, Regnier; he also makes honorable mention of the chiefs of the 10th and 56th regiments of the line—the chief of battalion, Clavel commanding the Swiss battalion—the chief of brigade, Grabinski—and the chiefs of battalion, Bialowski and Clopski.
The general of brigade, Lacour, is at Villach; he is pushing his advanced posts to Clagenfurth, and is endeavoring to open a communication with the grand army.
The advance-guard under gen. Espagne, makes fresh prisoners every step. The roads to Idria and Leybach are covered with dead horses, blown up ammunition waggon, and thousands of scattered cannon balls.
TWENTY-SIXTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
ZINAIM, 27th Brumaire, year 14.
Prince Murat, being informed that the Russian Generals, immediately after the signing of the convention, had set out on their march, with a portion of their army towards Zinaim, and that every thing indicated that the other part was going to follow it, and escape us, made known that the Emperor had not ratified the convention, and that in consequence he was going to attack. In fact, Prince Murat made his dispositions, marched up to the enemy, and attacked him on the 25th, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, which occasioned the engagement of Jukersdorff, in which the part of the Russian army forming the rear guard was routed, lost 12 pieces of cannon, 100 baggage waggon, 2000 prisoners, and had 2000 men killed. Marshal Lannes caused the enemy to be attacked in front, and whilst he caused his left to be turned by the brigade of grenadiers commanded by Gen. Dupas, Marshal Soult caused his right to be turned by Gen. Leveque's brigade of the division Legrand, consisting of the 3d and 18th regiments of the line. The general of division, Walther, charged the Russians with a brigade of dragoons, and made 300 prisoners.
The brigade of grenadiers of Gen. Laplanche Mortiere, distinguished itself. Had it not been for the night, nothing would have escaped. The two armies fought sword in-hand several times. Some battalions of Russian grenadiers showed intrepidity. Gen. Oudinot was wounded. His two aids-de-camp, chefs d'escadron, Demangeot and Lamotte, were also wounded by his side. The wound of general Oudinot will prevent his serving for about a fortnight. In the mean time, the Emperor wishing to give the grenadiers a proof of his esteem has appointed Gen. Duroc to command them. The Emperor removed his head-quarters of Zinaim on the 26th, at three o'clock in the afternoon. The Russian rear guard was obliged to leave its hospitals at Zinaim, where we found pretty considerable magazines of meal and oats. The Russians have retired towards Brunis, and our advanced guard have followed them half way; but the Emperor, being informed that the Emperor of Austria was there, wished to give a proof of his regard for this prince, and halted on the 27th.
Gen. Baraguay d'Hilliers has made an incursion as far as Pilseu, in Bohemia, and obliged the enemy to evacuate his positions. He has taken some magazines, and accomplished the object of his mission. The dragoons on foot crossed with rapidity the mountains covered with ice and fir-trees, which separates Bohemia from Bavaria.
No idea can be formed of the terror that the Russians have inspired in Moravia. In making their retreat, they burn the finest villages, and knock down the peasants. Hence the inhabitants revive upon seeing them depart. They say, "our enemies are gone." They speak of them
only as of barbarians, who have brought desolation among them. This is not applicable to the officers, who are in general very different from their soldiers; and many of them men of distinguished merit; but the army has a savage instinct, which is not known among our European armies.
When the inhabitants of Austria, Moravia and Bohemia are asked whether they love their Emperor, we loved him, answer they, but how, would you have us love him yet; he sent for the Russians.
It was at one time rumored at Vienna, that the Russians had beat the French army, and were at Vienna; a woman cried out in the street "The French are beat, the Russians are coming!" The alarm was general; fear and rapine seized the inhabitants. This, however, is the result of the fatal counsel of Cobentzel, Colloredo, and Lambert. Accordingly these men are abhorred by the nation; and the Emperor of Austria will be unable to regain the confidence and love of his subjects, but by sacrificing them to the public hatred; and sooner or later he will be under the necessity of doing so.
TWENTY-SEVENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
PORTLITZ, Nov. 19.
Since the battle of Zunterdorf, the enemy has continued his retreat with the greatest precipitation. Gen. Sebastiani, with his brigade of dragoons, is pursuing close to their heels. The immense plains of Moravia, are favorable to his pursuit. The 18th at the eminence of Portlitz, he cut off the retreat of several corps, and made on that day 2000 Russian prisoners of war.
Prince Murat, at three o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th, entered Brunn, the capital of Moravia, always following the enemy. The enemy evacuated the city and citadel, which is very strong, and capable of sustaining a regular siege.
The Emperor has taken his head quarters at Portlitz.
Marshal Soult, with his corps of the army, is at Reimtschitz.
Marshal Lannes is before Portlitz.
The Moravians have a much greater hatred for the Russians, and friendship for us than the inhabitants of Austria. The Moravians are accustomed to see in the midst of their immense plains, the people of the Ukraine, of Kamchatka, of Grand Tartary, and the Normans, the Gascans, the Britons, and the Burgundians, ready to cut each others throats, without the country having any thing in common, or the least immediate political interest. They have the good sense to say, in their bad Bohemian that human blood is become in the hands of the English an article of merchandise.
We found at Brunn 60 pieces of cannon, 300,000 lbs. of powder, a great quantity of wheat and flour, and very considerable magazines of clothing.
The Emperor of Germany has retired to Olmutz, from whence our posts are distant one day's march.
TWENTY-EIGHTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
BRUNN, 21st November.
The Emperor entered Brunn on the 20th, at ten in the morning.
A deputation from the states of Moravia, at the head of which was the Bishop, went to meet him. The emperor has gone to visit the fortifications, and has ordered the arming of the citadel, in which were found upwards of 6000 muskets, a large quantity of warlike stores, of every kind, amongst them 400,000 lbs. of powder.
The Russians, have collected all their cavalry, which formed a corps of about 6000 men, intending to defend the junction of the routes of Brunn and Olmutz. Gen. Waiter kept them in check the whole day, and by several charges obliged them to fall back. Prince Murat caused to March the division of cuirassiers under Gen. Haulpoult and four squadrons of the imperial guard.
Though our horses were much fatigued, the enemy was charged and routed. Upwards of 200 men cuirassiers or dragoons d'elite, were left on the field of battle. 100 horses have fallen into our hands.
Marshal Bessieres, commanding the imperial guard at the head of four squadrons of the guard made a brilliant charge which routed and destroyed the enemy. Nothing could form a greater contrast than the silence of the guard and the cuirassiers with the howlings of the Russians.
The Russian cavalry, is well mounted, well equipped, and has shewn much intrepidity and resolution: But the men know not how to manage their sabres, and in that respect our cavalry has a great advantage. We have had some men killed and about sixty wounded, among whom are Col. Durocel of the 18th chasseurs and col. Bourdon of the 11th dragoons.
The enemy has retired several leagues.
TWENTY-NINTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
BRUNN, 23d November.
Marshal Ney has caused Brixen to be occupied, after having made many of the enemy prisoners. He found on the hospital a great number of sick and wounded Austrians. On the 17th he took Glanzen and Botzen.
General Jessachich, who defended Voralberg was cut off.
Marshal Bernadotte occupies Ingolstadt. Part of his army has entered Bohemia.
General Wielsen, commandant of the Bavarians, has taken a company of Austrian Artillery, a troop of 100 horse, 50 cuirassiers, and several officers.
He has taken a considerable magazine of oats and other grain, and a great number of baggage.

waggons, containing the baggage of several regiments of Austrian officers.
The adjutant-commandant Maison has made prisoners, on the route from Iglau to Brunn 200 men of the dragoons of Latour and of the cuirassiers of Hohenlohe. He charged another detachment of 200 men, and made 150 prisoners.
Reconnoitering parties have been stationed as far as Olmutz. The court has retired from that place to Poland.
The season has set in with rigor. The French army has taken its position. Its head is supported by the place of Brunn, which is very good, and which we are now busily employed in arming and putting into the best state of defence.
NEWPORT.
THURSDAY—MARCH 6, 1806.
The General Assembly of this state, met at East-Greenwich the 24th ult.—The house of representatives chose ISAAC WILBOR, Esq. Speaker, and THEODORE A. FOSTER, Esq. Clerk.—They granted a charter to the NEWPORT INDEPENDENT VOLUNTEERS, thereby erecting them into an independent military company, with the same privileges as the other independent companies of the state enjoy.—They likewise resolved to non-concur with the late resolutions of the states of Pennsylvania and Kentucky, for an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The rest of their time was principally occupied in trying private petitions.—They adjourned, to meet at the annual election of this state.
The Hon. Fisher Aims, has declined accepting his appointment to the Presidency of Harvard University.
The following is an exact statement of the Votes in convention, at East Greenwich, for persons to be nominated as General Officers of the State. It will show to those acquainted with State Politics, the relative strength of parties.

The Senate of the United States, on Thursday the 21st ult. passed the bill for prohibiting intercourse with certain parts of St. Domingo. Yeas 21.—Nays 8.
It is said, that government has ordered suits to be commenced against the individuals concerned in the expedition of the ship Leander from New-York.
George Sullivan, Esq. of Exeter, is appointed Attorney General of the State of New-Hampshire, vice Jeremiah Mason, Esq. resigned.
The editors of the New-York Gazette received last evening a Barbadoes paper of the first inst. which contains a confirmation of the defeat of the French army by the allies, brought there by the Lubec Packet from Cuxhaven, which place she left on the 14th of Dec. sent in by the Echalion, capt. Spears.
If there is any truth in the late reports of the defeat of Bonaparte in Germany, we may look for confirmation in new violations of Neutral Rights—for fresh subsidies must be paid to the continental powers to promote and secure the sovereignty of the ocean to Britain.—Balt. Ev. Post.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Amsterdam, dated Dec 10.
“All is war to day. It is said that Bavaria is to become a Kingdom; that Tyrol is to be added to it; that Poland is to be restored to a Kingdom; that Hungary is to become an independent State, and will choose its own king. These are Napoleon's terms of peace. Time must develop the whole.
Last Saturday it was said that the preliminaries were signed between Austria and France, and every thing seemed to indicate the authenticity of this intelligence; but now all is warlike again, and Stocks have fallen; some earnest fear are entertained on the approach of the Russians, English, Swedes and Prussians, from the
Hanoverian country, in consequence of which our frontiers are to be lined with troops. There is hardly any demand for coffee, which article is more likely to fall than rise.
They say an army of 140,000 men is collected in Brabant, to oppose the Russians, English, Swedes and Prussians, collecting in Hanover.
Many of your vessels carried into England, have been released, and have arrived safe.
Extract from a Postscript to the Kingston Royal Gazette of the 25th January last.
Under the regulations adopted for the two Cork fleets, each vessel had her number painted in large white figures under her main-chains; they were directed to proceed in three columns, agreeably to the numbers they bore, at the distance of two cables length from each other, and the space of a mile and a half to be preserved between the respective columns.
In consequence of the intelligence brought by the Sea-Horse, the Veteran and Maladar men of war have been anchored at the entrance of Port-Royal harbour, and the following circular letter was yesterday issued by his honor the lieutenant governor to the custodes of the different parishes:
[CIRCULAR.]
King's House, Jan. 24.
SIR—The lieutenant-governor having received intelligence by his majesty's ship Sea-Horse, capt. Corbet, that 18 sail of French line of battle ships had been seen on the 16th of December, in lat. 46, long. 10, steering a course supposed for the W. Indies, his honor thinks it necessary, as a measure of precaution, to acquaint you therewith, for the information of the parish of which you are chief magistrate. The commander in chief directs me to add that he has caused circular letters to be written to the colonels and commanding officers of the militia regiments and troops of horse, throughout the island, to have a general muster of their respective corps immediately, and to report for his excellency's satisfaction the state of their several commands, as it may be necessary to call them into action, suddenly at no distant period.
I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient humble servant.
S. TYRRELL. Sec'y.
Costos or Chief Magistrate of _____.
Captain Peile, of the Resolution, of Liverpool, which vessel arrived on Wednesday at Port Mofant, has favored us with the following extract from his log-book, from which we have every reason to hope, that a British squadron, of equal force, is closely treading on the heels of the enemy:
“On the 10th December, in lat. 35, 30, long. 11, at day light, perceived a French fleet, in two divisions, one in the S. E. quarter, and the other in the N. W. About eight A. M. the commodore (the Arethusa) made a signal for the fleet to heave to, which was immediately obeyed. At half past eight the commodore hoisted into the fleet with the signal of disperse, and for an enemy in sight.—He then hoisted to the N. N. W. with about ten sail, accompanied by the Boadecia frigate and the Wasp sloop. At ten the whole of the enemy's squadron, consisting of 14 line of battle ships, a frigate, a sloop of war, and a brig pursued the commodore. At eleven hoisted to the S. E. crossing the hause of the enemy's leading ship almost within gun shot to the leeward, when, the admiral making a signal, two of the enemy's two-deckers hoisted after us, and chased us till three P. M. only the sternmost ships of their fleet being in sight to the N. W. The two ships then tacked, and joined their fleet; we steered a S. S. E. course till dark, and due W. all night. At day light on the 17th, saw 14 or 15 sail of very large ships astern, some lying to, and others steering different ways, apparently as if they had lost sight of their pursuit, which we conjectured to be the English fleet.”
The Ellen in 35 days from Angola, and 8 from Dominica. She has 269 slaves on board, and was bound to New-Providence, but has put in here in distress. At Dominica she learnt, that in consequence of information of 14 sail of the line having escaped from Brest, martial law had been proclaimed, but on the day of the Ellen's departure it was taken off, two frigates having arrived at Prince Rupert's with an account of the arrival of sir John T. Duckworth at Barbadoes with five sail of the line and several frigates.
RALEIGH, Feb. 17.
We are sorry to state that we have just heard that a dreadful fire took place in Wilmington on Monday night last, by which two whole squares, comprising nearly one half the town, were burnt to the ground. We understand that the fire commenced in a bake house; the printing-office was not burnt, but the confusion and distress was so great that no paper was issued as usual, consequently we have heard no particulars.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21.
Yesterday arrived the brig Lydia, capt. M'Culoch, in 14 days from St. Martins, and informs the Admiral Duckworth, from England with 8 ships of the line and 3 frigates were laying at St. Kitts 17 days ago—that the captain general of Martinico had
ordered all the Swedes to leave the different ports of the French islands in twenty-four hours. The report of St. Bartholomews being taken is unfounded.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 15.
The Hornet arrived at this port last evening in 7 days from Charleston, for orders.
FEB. 20.
Capt. Bartlett, from Kingston, informs us, that a few days previous to his sailing a British frigate arrived there with intelligence of a French fleet of 17 sail of the line having been seen standing to the westward. The inhabitants of Jamaica were much alarmed at this report; and the government immediately ordered two of their largest vessels of war to be hauled into the channel way abreast of Port Royal harbor.
FEB. 22.
A gentleman who arrived here in the brig Achilles, from Porto-Rico, informs us that a French fleet of 10 sail of the line and 4 frigates, from Brest, had arrived at the city of St. Domingo, and landed 1500 troops.
FEB. 24.
Capt. Hillard, from Porto-Rico, informs that on the evening of the 4th of Feb. he passed a British fleet of nine ships of war and a brig. The 3 headmost vessels were ships of the line—The force of the others he could not discern.

POETRY.
COMMUNICATION.
THE CLOWN'S MISTAKE.
As through the town one holiday, A raw young Yankee took his way, 'Mongst other things he chanc'd to spy A tavern sign-post tow'ring high; The hungry clown quick took the hint, Sought the back-door, and in he went: To see the fellow's awkward air, Each cook and scullion 'gan to stare— The wenches and the kitchen maids, Contemptuously toss'd their heads, They dropp'd their dishcloths, and began To laugh at the poor countryman. Hodge soon began to smell a rat, And quickly putting on his hat, He left the greasy regiment, And straightway to the bar-room went; Where having come he looked up, And saw against the wainscot stuck up, A sheet of paper gaily painted, And with conspicuous capitals printed: The countryman (who by the way Did not lack curiosity) Mounted a chair, and thus began To read the paper—"Gentlemen And Ladies, now ye may improve Your time and money, if ye love To view the curious works of nature; For here is to be seen a creature, As which there can't, for love or money, Be seen another half so funny. This wondrous creature is an Ape, That is in feature, size and shape; But, that more noble part, his mind, So cultivated is and so refin'd, That ev'ry man who e're has seen it, Swears there is nothing Apish in it. 'Twould fill a vol'm to tell a half, or Quarter of what he knows, and therefore, We humbly pray ye, great and small, To walk up stairs and see it all." And now (as quick as I should find A simile to suit my mind; Were I a Poet) up he flew, To see if what he'd read was true. Hallooing, clappings, loud huzzas, And barking torrents of applause, Soon met his ear; the mingled sound He follow'd, and directly found The chamber where the Ape was kept— He paid his cash, and in he kept, And mingled with the company. Among the rest there chanc'd to be, One of those well known curious creatures, Of part man, and part monkey nature, Call'd Fops;—and by a small mistake, That wiser one than he might make, The countryman no sooner saw him, Than he began to stroke and paw him: "I swouch!" exclaimed the gaping lout, "I think my money well laid out, "Gor! I can scarce believe my eyes, "Never! how like a man it is." The beau, damp with astonishment, Had not yet giv'n his anger vent, But now, (his first surprize being o'er) He rav'd and ramp'd, and cu-d and sw—e— (Not for his handkerchief—Othello In th' play, did louder bawl and bellow) Roger turn'd pale, and quak'd with terror, For he mistrued now his error, And looking round among the rabble, He saw the Ape perch'd on a table; So cap in hand, he bow'd full low, And thus address'd th' indignant beau—"Master I humbly ax your pardon, "You'll take no offence I hope, for fartin, "Poor Roger never meant to 'front ye, "He only took ye for the monkey." T. Bristol, Feb. 13.
FOR THE RHODE-ISLAND REPUBLICAN.
Mr. Bibee, If you think proper, give this a place in your Republican paper.
SINCE Man has fall'n from his primeval state, To evil prone as scripture doth relate,— This by experience, is the truth, indeed, And for this cause, all nations stand in need Of government, and laws for to secure, The lives and property of rich and poor. For this grand object, this important end, When peace and independence was obtain'd, The wise sages of Columbia met, At the grand council and in convention sat, To form a Union and the States combine, And under one government all to join: To form a Constitution just and wise, That we to honor, and to wealth might rise. Oh happy Country! where, can such be found, Such peace and liberty as here abound; Where every class of Citizens are free, Where genius, merit, and philanthropy, Are all encourag'd for the general good, And all the rights of man well understood; Where by the sovereign voice the general will, The wise and good are chosen out to rule. No tyrant, king, despotic here to reign; No hereditary nobles to maintain; No national religion to control, But worship God as he persuades the soul; No papish power, with imposition here, But the pure Gospel preached free and clear; No Church and State, the policy of kings, And hireling priests, to answer their own ends, But happy, clear and free from all these things. Oh happy land! and happy may it be, While love of justice, virtue, liberty, Inspire the soul and all unite as one, Which was the fervent prayer of Washington, And from the broils of nations to keep clear, But in our own defence for war prepare. A CITIZEN.
