Rhode-Island Republican (Newport, R.I.), 1806-02-27 00:00:00

Marshal Mortier pursued the Russians, while another corps of the army passed the Danube by the bridge of Vienna, to intercept them to the right, and the corps of marshal Bernadotte marched to intercept them on the left. Yesterday the 13th, at 10 o'clock, A. M. prince Murat passed through Vienna. At the break of day a column of cavalry established themselves on the bridge of the Danube, and passed it after several conferences with the Austrian commanders. The engineers who had orders to burn the bridge attempted it several times, but were unable to succeed. Marshal Lannes and general Bertrand, aid-de-camp of the emperor, were the first to cross the bridge. The troops did not stop in Vienna, but continued their destined route.
Prince Murat has established his head quarters at the house of duke Albert. Duke Albert has done much for the city. Many quarters wanted water. He introduced it at his own expence, and is well known to have spent great sums on this object. Great quantities of ammunition and artillery were found in Vienna, an account of which is herewith annexed. The house of Austria has no arsenal or foundry except in Vienna. The Austrians have not had time to carry off above a fifth or fourth of their artillery or any thing else of consequence. We have wall-like stores sufficient for 4 campaigns to renew our artillery equipage four times if we should lose it. We have also provisions against a siege, for a great number of places. The emperor has established himself at Schoenbrunn. He went to day to Vienna, at 2 o'clock in the morning. He passed the rest of the night in visiting the advanced posts on the left bank of the Danube, as well as the positions, and to satisfy himself that every duty was well performed. He returned to Schoenbrunn at break of day. The weather has become delightful. This day is one of the finest of the winter tho' cold. Commercial and all other transactions go on at Vienna in the usual way. The inhabitants are full of confidence and perfectly at their ease. The population of this city is about 250,000 souls. It is not supposed to have diminished above 10,000 by the departure of the court and nobility.
The emperor received at noon M. de Wrbna, who is now placed at the head of the administration of all Austria.
The corps of marshal Soult passed thro' Vienna this morning at 9 o'clock. That of Marshal Davoust is marching thro' it at this moment. Gen. Marmont has gained different trifling advantages at Leoben with his advanced posts.
The Bavarian army receives great reinforcements every day. The emperor has just made some fresh presents to the elector. He has given him 15,000 stand of arms taken in Vienna, and has restored to him all the artillery which Austria has at different periods taken from the states of Bavaria.
The city of Kuffstein has capitulated to col. Pompe.
Gen. Milhaud has driven the enemy on the road to Brunn as far as Volkerdorf. To-day at noon he had made 600 prisoners, and taken a park of 40 pieces of artillery, complete.
Marshal Lannes arrived at 2 P. M. at Stockerau. He there found an immense magazine of clothing, 100,000 pair of shoes and boots, and cloth enough to make great coats for the whole army. They have also taken many boats which were descending the Danube with artillery, leather and clothing.
[The bulletin here goes on to give a particular inventory of 1547 pieces of cannon 473 mortars, 109,291 muskets, and carbines, a great number of swords and pistols, an immense quantity of powder, cannon, musket and pistol balls, flints, lead and many other military stores.]
HEAD QUARTERS,
Vienna, November 18.
ORDER OF THE DAY.
The emperor testifies his satisfaction to the 4th regiment of light infantry; to the 100th of the line; to the 9th of light infantry, and to the 3rd of the line, for the intrepidity which they displayed at the battle of Diersstein, where their bravery in preserving their position which they occupied obliged the enemy to quit that which he held on the Danube. His majesty also signifies his approbation to the 9th regiment of the line, and to the 30th, which at the battle of Lamback, made a stand against the rear guard of the Russians, and not only gave the first blow, but made 400 prisoners. His majesty further expresses his satisfaction to the grenadiers of Oudinot, who at the battle of Amstetten drove the Russian and Austrian corps from their strong and commanding position, and made 1500 prisoners, of whom 600 were Russians. His majesty is satisfied with the 1st, 16th and 22nd regiment of Chasseurs, and with the 9th and 10th regiments of Hussars, for their good conduct in all skirmishes which took place from the Inn to the gates of Vienna and for the 800 Russians prisoners made at Stein.
Prince Murat, marshal Lannes, the reserve of cavalry, and their corps of the army, entered Vienna the 13th November, made themselves masters the same day of the bridge over the Danube, prevented it from being burnt, passed it immediately, and put to flight the Russian army. We found in Vienna more than 2000 pieces of cannon, 100,000 guns, ammunition of every kind, in fine, every kind of equipage, necessary for 3 or 4 armies. The people of Vienna seemed to receive the army with friendship.
The Emperor decrees, that the property of the people of this capital shall be held sacred, and that they shall be treated with the greatest respect, for they beheld with sorrow, the unjust war which has been carried on against us, and they testify by their conduct as much friendship for us, as they entertain hatred for the Russians; a people, who by their savage and barbarous manners, ought to be detested by every civilized nation.
General Marshal BERTHIER.
TWENTY FOURTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
Palace of Schoenbrunn, Nov. 15.
At the battle of Diersstein, the Austrian major-general Smith, who directed the movements of the Russians, was killed as well as two Russian generals. It seems that colonel Wattier is not dead, but his horse having been wounded in the attack, he was made prisoner. This news was highly pleasing to the emperor, who has a particular regard for this officer.
A column of 4000 Austrian infantry and a regiment of Cuirassiers, passed through our army, who permitted them to go off, a false report of a suspension of arms having been spread among our soldiers. On this occasion we recognize the character of the French—who brave in the midst of battle, are possessed of the utmost generosity when the action is over.
General Milhaud, commanding the advanced corps Marshal Davoust, has taken 191 pieces of cannon, with all the provision waggons and 400 men. Thus almost the whole of the artillery of the Austrian monarchy, is in our possession. The palace Schoenbrunn, in which the emperor resides was built by Maria Theresa, whose portrait is to be seen in almost every apartment. In the cabinet which the emperor now occupies, is a marble statue of that empress. The emperor, on seeing it, observed, that if that great queen was yet living, she would not let herself be governed by the intrigues of such a woman as madame de Colliered, constantly surrounded as she always was by the great men of her nation, she would have known the will of her people. She would not have permitted her provinces to be ravaged by Cossacs and Muscovites. In debating on a war with France, she would not have consulted with such a courtier as Cobentzel, who by far too well acquainted with the intrigues of his court, fears to displease a strange woman, shamefully invested with an influence which she abuses—nor by such a writer as Colembach—by a man, in fine, as universally detested as Lamberty. She would not have given the command of her army to such a man as Mack, appointed not by the will of the sovereign, not by the confidence of the nation, but by England and Russia. Indeed there appears to be a remarkable unanimity of opinion in the nation against the measures of the court. Citizens of all classes, the most enlightened men, even the princes themselves, are opposed to the war.
It is said that prince Charles, at the moment of his setting out for the army of Italy, wrote to the emperor, representing to him the imprudence of his conduct and predicting the downfall of the monarchy. The elector of Salzburg, the archdukes, the nobles, all held the same language. The whole continent ought to regret what the emperor of Germany has done, who withers well, who feels better than his ministers, and who might be a great prince but for his diffidence in himself, and having so constantly retired. He would learn from the nobles of the empire, who esteem him a just confidence in himself. But none of these who understand and cherish the interest of their country, ever approach his cabinet. This seclusion, for which the empress is blamed, is the cause of that universal hatred which the nation has conceived against that princess—Long as this order of things shall remain, the emperor will never know the wishes of his people; but will always be the tool of corrupted English agents, who continually surround him to prevent him from being better informed.—There is but one opinion at Vienna as well as at Paris, —The misfortunes of the continent is the dreadful work of England.
All the columns of the army are making rapid marches, and are already in Moravia, and not many days march from the Danube. A patrol of cavalry has already arrived at the gates of Presburg, the capital of Upper Hungary. It intercepted a courier from Venice, while he was attempting to enter that city. The dispatches of that courier inform that the army of prince Charles was retreating in great haste, in hopes of arriving in time to succour Vienna.
General Marmont informs that the court which had advanced as far as Oedenburg, by the valley of Meurth, has evacuated that country after breaking down all the bridges, a precaution which saved it from immediate pursuit.
The number of prisoners made by the army increases every moment.
His majesty has given audience to day to the Batavian major general Bruce, brother in law to the grand pensionary. He came to solicitate the emperor on the part of the high and mighty states of Holland.
The emperor has not yet received any of the authorities of Vienna, but only a deputation from the different corporations of the city, who on the day of his arrival, came to his levee, as Sigarts Kirchen. It was composed of the prince de Zinsendorf, the prelate de Sidenstetten, the count de Veterani, baron de Keff, the burgomaster, of the city, M. de Wohlleben and general Bourgeois. His majesty received them with great affability, and told them that they might assure the people of Vienna of his protection.
The general of division Clarke, has been nominated governor general of Upper and lower Austria. The counsellor of state, Daru, has been appointed intendant general of the fame.

TWENTY FIFTH BULLETIN.
Schoenbrunn, Nov. 15.
Prince Murat and the corps of marshal Lannes yesterday overtook the Russian army at Hollabrunn. A skirmish of cavalry took place, but the enemy immediately abandoned the field, leaving 100 baggage waggons in our hands.
The enemy had effected a junction, and the dispositions for an attack were made, when an Austrian flag of truce advanced and requested permission for the troops of the emperor of Germany to separate themselves from the Russians. Their request was acceded to.
Shortly after the baron, Wintzingerode, aid-de-camp-general to his majesty the emperor of all the Russians, presented himself at the advanced posts and offered to capitulate for the Russian army. Prince Murat intended to consent to it, but the emperor of France did not approve of the capitulation. The emperor did not give his assent to it, because the capitulation is a kind of a treaty, for the fulfilment of which M. Wintzingerode did not shew his powers from the emperor of Russia. In the mean time his majesty on ordering his army to march, declared that if the emperor Alexander, who was in the neighborhood should agree to a capitulation he was ready to ratify it.
General Vialanes, commanding the cavalry of marshal Davoust, has entered Presburg, general de Palfi has written a letter to which marshal Davoust has returned an answer. The two letters are subjoined.
A body of 3000 Austrians have intrenched themselves in the position of Waldemunchen on the borders of Bohemia, gen. Barsaguy d'Hilliers, at the head of three battalions of dismounted dragoons, marched against that corps which precipitately abandoned their post.
He had arrived on the eighth at Trinity, in Bohemia, and expected to overtake the above corps.
Marshal Ney has been appointed to take possession of the Tyrol. He acquitted himself with his usual intrepidity and sagacity. He turned the forts of Scharnitz and Newstack and soon made himself master of them. In his office he took 1800 men, a stand of colors and 16 field pieces.
On the 6th, at 5 P. M. he made his entry into Inspruck. He there found an arsenal filled with artillery 16,000 muskets and an immense quantity of powder. The same day he entered Halle, where he also took possession of very large and valuable magazines, of which he has not yet given an inventory.—The archduke John, who commanded in the Tyrol, escaped by the way of Luchthal. He ordered a colonel to deliver the magazines into the hands of the French and to recommend to their generosity 1200 sick who were at Inspruck.
To all these glorious deeds, has been added a scene which has touched the hearts of all the soldiers. During the last war, the 76th regiment of the line, lost two standards in the Gripons. This loss has been for a long time deeply lamented by that corps. These brave men knew that Europe had not forgotten their misfortune, though it could not accuse them of cowardice. These standards, the subjects of such noble regret, have been found in the arsenal of Inspruck. One of the officers recognized them, and they were immediately surrounded by the soldiers. When marshal Ney restored them with the usual ceremonies, tears trickled down the cheeks of the veteran soldiers. The young conscripts were overjoyed at having assisted in taking those standards, which were wrested from their elder brethren in arms by the vicissitudes of war. The emperor has given
orders to have this affecting scene commemorated, by an emblematic engraving.—The French soldiery entertain for their colors, an attachment the borders on veneration. They regard them with the same affection, as a present from the hands of a mistress.
General Klein has made an incursion into Bohemia with his division of dragoons. He has everywhere observed the Russians to be held in the greatest detestation. The depredations which they commit, cause the loudest lamentations. The irruption of these barbarians, who have been invited by the very government itself, has almost erased from the hearts of the Austrians, all affection for their prince. "We and the French (say the Germans) are the children of the Romans; but the Russians are the descendants of the Tartars. "We had a thousand times rather have the arms of the French against us, than such allies as the Russians with us." At Vienna the very name of a Russian inspires them with horror. These hordes of savages are not content with pillaging for their subsistence, but they carry off or destroy every thing. The poor peasant, who possesses nothing in his cottage but his rags, is even robbed of them. The rich man, who occupies a palace, has no hope of appeasing them with his riches; they plunder him and leave him bare under his naked roof.
This, without doubt, is the last time that Europe will invite to her protection such dreadful allies. But should they be capable of doing so again they will have to pay them for rising even their own dominions. For a century to come it will be impossible for an Austrian prince to introduce a Russian army into his territory. It is not to be supposed that there are not in these armies a number of well educated officers, whose manners are mild, and whose understandings, are enlightened. In speaking of the army, we always allude to the habits of the soldiery.
CAPITULATION,
Proposed by the Russian Army.
It has been agreed between the general of division, Belliard, chief of the staff, provided it should receive the sanction of his serene highness prince Murat grand admiral, marshal of the empire, and lieutenant of his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy—and M. the baron de Wintzingerode, major general of the armies, aid-de-camp general to his majesty the emperor of all the Russians, provided it should be confirmed by his majesty, viz.
There shall, from the signatures of the present conditions, be an armistice between the corps of the army under the orders of his highness prince Murat, and the Russian army commanded by the general in chief count de Kutusow.
The Russian army shall quit Germany, and immediately commence its march by the same route that it took in entering it, in which case prince Murat consents to suspend his march into Moravia.
The present conditions not to have effect until after having received the ratification of his majesty, the emperor Napoleon. In the mean time the Russian army and the corps of prince Murat, shall remain in the positions that they now occupy.
In the event of their non-concurrence by the emperor, four hour's notice shall be given previously to the breaking of the armistice.
Done at Hallabrunn, the 15th Nov. 1805. (Signed) AUG. BELLARD. Gen. of Division, Chief of the Staff. WINTZINGERODE. Aid-de-camp general.
FIFTH OFFICIAL BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH ARMY OF ITALY.
14th Brumaire, (Nov. 5. 1805.)
After some hours repose at Montebello, the army pursued the enemy to Vincence.—The gates of the city had been walled up; the enemy were summoned to evacuate it; their reply was in the negative. A sentiment of humanity had dictated the summons of the general in chief; it was indispensably necessary to force a passage, and to point cannon and some howitzers against the gates, and unfortunately against the city itself. We entered at the break of day. The precipitation, with which the enemy retreated, obliged them to abandon a 1000 wounded, and to leave part of the contents of several magazines at our disposal. In the course of the day we made 800 prisoners.
The Austrians retreated by the road to Bassano. The army followed them, and continually harassed their rear. At the separation of the roads to Bassano and Traviso, they directed their march to the latter city, burning behind them the bridge which is over the rapid stream near Palm. Having arrived at the village of Saint Pierre in Gu, we found it occupied by a body of troops, which we charged vigorously. The village was carried, after a combat, which again procured to us 600 prisoners and one piece of cannon.
We marched towards the Brenta. The Van arrived at the moment when the enemy were attempting to destroy the bridge. There began from one bank a heavy cannonade, which the night only put a stop to.
The army was under arms on the right bank. At 4 o'clock in the morning, I caused several regiments of cavalry, with light troops mounted behind, to ford the river while the bridge was repairing. The army soon filed off, and we arrived at Cittadella in sufficient time to carry the posts of the enemy. At five o'clock in the evening, we entered Castelfranco, and our chasseurs had already occupied Salizzanda and Albaredo.—The General in chief felt the necessity of granting some hours to the wants of the army. In our march from Montebello we have taken more than 1500 prisoners.
The right division marched towards Padua, where it arrives to-day; the left went by the Sere Comuni towards Bassano, which it will occupy to-morrow. The army marches towards Pavia.

NEWPORT.
THURSDAY—FEBRUARY 27, 1806.
By the late arrivals, our European advices are brought down to the thirty-first day of December. The latest we are now in possession of is the verbal information communicated by Capt. Adams, who arrived at Baltimore from L'Isle, which place he left on the 1st of January. He persists in the correctness of his detail, which in substance is, that on the last of December, he saw at the Swedish consul's office, official bulletins of a continued action between the French and Russians, that lasted with small intermission for eight days, and terminated in the total dismemberment and destruction of the Russian Army. He says that the accounts stated positively that 40,000 laid down their arms after stipulating for an uninterrupted return to their own country; and that 20,000 attempting to force their way through the French army were cut in pieces. Now let us contrast this account with our advices from other parts of the continent of Europe. Those from England are to the 19th of December, and give accounts of battles fought with various success, from the 2d to the 5th of December. In general the tide of victory in these details belongs to the Russians—this we are far from denying, all we mean to infer is, that as far they go, they confirm the accounts by captain Adams. It is however, a rather curious circumstance, that the British government should have remained silent if the success of their allies was so triumphant, as set forth in the London prints. Formerly we were favored with an extraordinary Gazette, if but a single post or trifling advantage were gained over the French; but now, although their loss in a single engagement is stated at 27,000 men, we have neither an extraordinary, nor even an ordinary Gazette. However, by way of London, the accounts positively state, "four days of those battles mentioned by Adams," and so far confirms them, although the termination could not be known at the date above mentioned. Let us now trace our view to the detail given by Capt. Decock, who arrived from Rotterdam, at Charleston the 8th of February; his advices bring our continental news to the 20th of December, and positively state, that at that time in Holland, advices from the contending arms in Moravia, state severe battles of many days continuance, which finally terminated in the arms of France being signal victory. Now if those various accounts are contrasted with each other, one cannot avoid believing that captain Adams' account is correct; indeed a few days, will in all probability, clear up the doubts that remain on every person's mind, as they may be variously affected. In the mean time, this little statement of facts, may serve to bring the substance of all our late advices into one general view.
Baltimore Telegraph.
Capt. Hubcock, from Curacao, informs that on Jan. 25th, in the Mono passage, he was boarded by three French men of war, one of them mounting 84 guns and 1006 men, one of 110 guns and another of 50. They reported that they were waiting to be joined by a fleet of ten sail of the line, from Brest, and that they were deluded against Jamaica, respecting which island they made many enquiries as to its strength, and the force by which it was protected, &c. Boston pap.
FIRE!
BOSTON Feb. 21.—On Tuesday afternoon, a destructive fire broke out in the Rope-Walk owned by Mr. J. Howes, at the bottom of the Common, in this town; which in a short time was consumed, together with five other Walks adjacent, one owned by the Estate of John Godman, Esq.; one by Mr. Samuel Emmons; one by capt. Penuel B. Rogers, and two by Mr. Isaac P. Davis—together with a large quantity of cordage, hemp, tar, &c. The contents of the Walks were partly saved, as well as part of the hemp in Mr. Roger's fire proof store.
A Gentleman of Boston, who left La Plata about the middle of Dec. has arrived at Baltimore. No British fleet had arrived there previous to his departure.
A letter from Washington states, that government has received dispatches from Mr. Monroe, dated in London 24th November in which he mentions that he expected to settle every thing amicably with the British Government.

On the 10th Jan. in lat. 33. 40, lon. 29. 30, was spoken the ship Isis, Conway, 22 days from Salem for Messina—she had been detained by a French fleet of 11 sail of the line and 7 frigates, 24 days from Brest, steering to the southward and westward.—Jan. 17, in lat. 27. 42, lon. 33, was fallen in with, the homeward bound English fleet of 25 sail from Jamaica.
RICHMOND, (VIR.) Feb. 8.
On Saturday last about 5 o'clock in the evening eight of the prisoners confined in the Penitentiary attempted to make their escape. They procured a key for opening one of the solitary cells, in the eastern wing, perforated the brick wall about three feet below the surface of the ground on the out side of the building, and then burrowed up the earth, until the hole became large enough to admit the passage of their bodies. With daring and almost desperate resolution, one of them at length broke through the thin coat of earth which
concealed them from the day, and suddenly bursted upon the astonished centinel. He was too much alarmed to discharge his musquet, and gradually retired into the century-box. The other convicts soon appeared through the chasm one by one, and began to make their escape. In the mean time, the other centinels caught the alarm, and the convicts were pursued. Two of them were secured, principally by the exertions of a negro; three by the resolution of a gentleman who was present; the sixth made his escape, but delivered himself up on the same night to a gentleman, who lives within a short distance of the city. The other two have escaped, and no satisfactory tidings have been received of them. The description of their persons has been already given in the Argus, and it is to be hoped, from their peculiar dress, or at least from the shaving of their heads that means will be found to detect the two culprits, and to deserve the reward offered to the governor's proclamation.
The cowardly centinel has been sentenced by a court martial to receive 70 lashes, and be discharged from the company.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.
A serious affair has lately happened at Detroit. A soldier deserted from the British lines and took refuge in Detroit. He was pursued into the American territory by two British officers, with a file of men, was protected by the magistrates, who can only surrender in cases of murder and forgery. The British thereon endeavoured by force to carry him back, when an affray took place between them and the inhabitants, in which one of the British officers, a Mr. Muir, was shot through the leg, after which they retreated, leaving the deserter at Detroit. The British officers were each bound to appear and take their trial at the Detroit May Court, under a given security of 1000 dollars each.
CARLISLE, (Penn.) Feb. 11.
By a gentleman who left St. Louis, (upper Louisiana,) on the 31st of December last, we are informed that a party of the Sock Indians, took the opportunity when the Osages were out hunting, came in on their Towns killed about a 100, consisting of old men, women, and children, and took about as many prisoners. A number of the Osage Indians asked protection from the United States, upon which General Wilkinson sent a Lieutenant Hughes, with a detachment of thirty men to demand the prisoners. A few days previous to his leaving St. Louis, an Indian Chief sent down by Captain Lewis, from about 1500 miles up the Missouri, had set out from St. Louis for the City of Washington, attended by Lieutenant Climpson, and an Interpreter; he is for the Ricqoura Nation, of a dark complexion, and remarkably corpulent.
At the time of our informant's leaving that place they had received no account of the destruction of captain Lewis, and his party. It is therefore hoped, that the report that has been in circulation of their being cut off, is without foundation, as we have reason to suppose, had such an event taken place, they would there have received the earliest intelligence.

POETRY.
THE OLD BACHELOR.
I'm weary of a single life, I really wish I had a wife; My years confum'd in care and pain, And nature proves I've liv'd in vain. I've staid so long thro' doubt and fear, The girls now fly me like a deer; And when I ask a pretty maid, If she of wedlock is afraid, Or Bessey, will you be my bride? She laughs as if she'd split her side. Good Lord! I must endure such scorn? I wish I never had been born: Or I had shunn'd this deadly woe, By wedding forty years ago. But well they may revile at me, I'm not the same I us'd to be; My eyes are sore, my teeth decay; My shirt is dirty and much worn; My coat is old, my small clothes torn; My shoes, alas! they have no soles; My stockings have five hundred holes: And all these woes and ills of life, Are nothing but the want of wife; Pleas'd God, I live and tarry here, I'll have a wife before a year; And she shall patch and mend my clothes, And save my careafe from the crows; I'll dress myself so neat and gay, That I shall look as blythe as May; Then go to York and try to find, Some clever girl to please my mind. For there, 'tis said, are various kinds, To suit the taste of different minds: That some are meek and some are bold, And some are young and some are old; That some are witty and well bred; And some are brown and some are red; That some are handsome, some are gay, And some again but yea and nay; That some can caper all night long, And some can sing a pretty song; But none I hope of all these fair, May ever scold, or brawl, or swear, As I'm resolv'd, if fortune aids, To marry one of these fair maids. The ladies first shall grace the list, As they're most anxious to be kiss'd; And to succeed, I'll try each art, That ever captur'd woman's heart. I give these fair a loving squeeze, For that's the only way to please: And if they're coy and won't comply, The widows next I mean to try: For they know more than to pretend, That pretty kissing could offend; Nor prove so wild when lovers woo, Nor seem displeas'd as maidens do; They're never fops to fond delay, Nor fly, when Cupid bids them stay, But urg'd by nature's genial care, They'll not refuse to court their share; But should old iron-hearted fate Refuse because I'm out of date; I'll try once more, since love upbraids, And pay respect to good old maids; For I'm determin'd to be free From torment and celibacy: A wife I'll have, I firmly wear, By all that's good and all that's fair— If she's deform'd as e'er was woo'd, By mortal man this side the flood; If she's reduc'd with age and care, Or has no eyes, nor teeth, nor hair; If she's derang'd in frame or mind, Or deaf, or dumb, or lame, or blind; Or lazy, squeamish, cross or old, Or proves a fool, a slut or scold— As I might see the bitter day, On which she promis'd to obey; But should I unsuccessful prove, In all the fond intrigues of love; Should all despise me and my self— I'll go, begad, and hang myself.
ANECDOOTE.
A young fellow was extolling a lady's beauty very highly, & one of his companions allowed she had beauty except that she had a bad set of teeth. "Very true, said the first, "but she is a fine woman IN SPITE OF HER TEETH."

THE Public are respectfully informed. That no Notes of this Bank have been counterfeited; at least none have come to the knowledge of the Directors: —and they know of only one Note that has been altered—a 3 Dollar Note into 8—of which denomination they have issued none—it was badly done; the ink was discharged, and the alteration made by a pen.—The Value only was altered, not the device. For security, and to guard against impositions, the Notes of this Bank have particular devices, which the Public are desired to attend to viz.
Notes of 1 Dollar; a Woman milking. Do. 2 a Plough. Do. 3 a Wind-mill. Do. 5 a Wheat-Sheaf. Do. 10 a Ship. And Do. 50 a Bee-Hive.
