Fourth Bulletin of the Army of Italy.
Head Quarters at Montebello, Nov. 2.
In consequence of the battle of the 31st, the position of the army before Caldiero, and the orders given on the preceding day to the division of Seras, a column of the enemy, amounting to 5000 men, was separated from the corps of General Rosenberg, and cut off in such a manner, that it could neither retreat through the valleys nor join the main army. The commander in chief, on being informed that, on the 1st inst. this column was marching to the heights of St. Leonards, sent one of his Aides de Camp, to summon it to surrender. The General Officer, Hillinger, who commanded it, not seeing any troops, declared his intention to defend himself. The 22d regiment of light Infantry, under Col. G. Quet, then received orders to advance from Veronetta; the enemy made a movement to approach him, and forced him to take a position under the walls of the Castle of San Felice. The commander in chief repaired immediately to the spot, and ordered four battalions of grenadiers to surround the enemy. General Carpentier, the chief of the staff, was charged with these dispositions, which he executed with precision in concert with General Solignac. A new summons was then sent to the enemy, who found himself under the necessity of laying down his arms. A capitulation signed by the commander of the enemy's column, and by Gen. Solignac, and put into our hands 5000 prisoners, with their arms and baggage, seventy officers, one brigadier, one major, one colonel, 80 horses, &c. Prince Charles on his side, finding that a column of his army had been cut off, apprehensive of being turned in his position, proceeded to effect his retreat. We were informed that he made some movements in the night. At the break of the day reconnoitering parties were sent out to all parts of his line. The division of chasseurs on horseback, under Gen. Etienne, and the light division of Gen. Cardanne, set forward in pursuit of the Austrians, who were harassed through the day, and of whom we made 600 prisoners.—We this day are at Montebello. To-morrow the army will proceed on its march.
Twentieth Bulletin of the Grand Army.
LINTZ 16 Brumaire, (Nov. 7.) year 14.
The engagement at Amstetten did not at honor to the cavalry, and particularly to the 6th and 10th regiments of hussars, and to the grenadiers of the division of General Oudinot.
The Russians have since accelerated their retreat; they in vain cut down the bridges upon the Ippa, which were quickly re-establisshed, and Prince Murat arrived as far as the abbey of Molk.
A reconnoitering party has poked off to Bochemia. We have taken very considerable magazines, both at Freystadt and at Mauthausen.
Marshal Mortier with a corp of the army, is in manoeuvring upon the left bank of the Danube.
A deputation from the Senate is just arrived at Lintz. The elector of Bavaria is expected here in two hours.
Lieutenant-general count de Ginlay, sent by the emperor of Austria, arrived here in the night. He has had a very long conference with the emperor. The object of his mission is unknown.
At the battle of Amstetten, we took 1800 prisoners, 700 of whom are Russians.
On the 17th, general Marmont directed his march to Leoben. On his arrival at Weger, he met the regiment of Guilly, charged it and took 400 prisoners, among whom one colonel and several officers. He continued his march. All the columns of the army are in grand manœuvre.
Twenty-First Bulletin of the Grand Army.
MOLK 19 Brumaire, (Nov. 10) year 14.
On the 16th Brumaire, the army of Marshal Davoust directed its march from Sayer to Naydshoffen, Marientzell and Lilienfeld. By this movement, it extended its front beyond the left of the enemy's army, which was supposed to be ready to make a stand on the heights of Hypolyte; and from Lilienfeld it marched towards Vienna by the high road leading directly to it.
On the 17th the advanced guard of this Marshal being yet several leagues from Marientzell, met the corps of gen. Mordfeld which was

marching towards Neustadt for the purpose of covering Vienna on that side. The general of brigade Heudelet commander of Marshal Davoust's advanced guard, attacked the enemy with the greatest vigour, routed him, and pursued him for the space of five leagues.
The result of this engagement of Marienzell was the taking of three stands of colours, 16 pieces of cannon and 4,000 prisoners—among whom are the colonels of the regiments, Colterado and Deutschmeister, and five majors.
The 13th regiment of light infantry and the 108th regiments of the line behaved admirably well.
On the 18th in the morning, Prince Murat arrived at St. Hypolyte. He gave direction to the general of brigade of dragoons, Sebastiani, to push forwards towards Vienna. All the court and grandees have left that capital. It had been already announced at the advanced posts, that the emperor was preparing to quit Vienna.
The Russian army has effected its retreat to Krems by recrossing the Danube, fearing no doubt to see its communications with Moravia cut off, by the movement which Marshal Mortimer made on the left bank of the Danube.
General Marmont must have passed beyond Leoben.
The abbey of the Molk, where the Emperor lodges, is one of the finest in Europe. There is not, either in France or Italy, any convent or abbey that can be compared to it. It is a strong position, and commands the Danube. It was one of the principal posts of the Romans, and was called The Iron House , built by the Emperor Commodus.
The cellars and vaults of the abbey were full of very good Hungarian wine; which has been of great help to the army, having for this long time been without any; but we are now in the wine country—There is a great deal in the environs of Vienna.
The Emperor has ordered a particular safe guard to be placed at the castle of Laxenbourg, a small country seat belonging to the Emperor of Austria, on the left bank of the Danube.
All the intercepted letters speak only of the frightful chaos which Vienna exhibits. The war was undertaken by the Austrian cabinet against the advice of all the princes of the Imperial family. But Colterado, led by his wife, who, a French woman, bears the most inveterate hatred to her country; Cobentzel accustomed to tremble at the very name of a Russian, in the persuasion that every thing must bend before them, and to whom, moreover, it is possible the agents of England may have found means to introduce themselves; in fine, that miserable Mack, who had already acted such a great part for the renewal of the second coalition, these are the influences that have proved stronger than those of all wise men and of all the members of the Imperial family.
There is not the meanest citizen, the lowest subaltern but is conscious that this war is advantageous only for the English; that they are the artificers of the misfortunes of Europe, as by their monopoly, they are the authors of the exorbitant price of provisions.
MENTZ, November 16.
According to private letters just arrived, it appears certain that there will be a congress held at Munich and that Europe will enjoy a durable peace.
STRASBURGH, November 16.
On the 9th November, Marshal Augereau's headquarters were at Stockach. On the 10th he set out anew on his march; the right column of his army truck off towards Bueckhorn and filed along the upper part of the eastern borders of the Lake of Constance, by Langenargen to Lindau and Bregenz. The centre column directed its march from Pfullendorf to Saverne, and from thence by Wangen and Ysny to Immenstadt—The left column which departed from Moerskirch on the 10th, marched off by Wartsch and Lenkirch to Kempten, where it was to learn its further destination—If it be true as it is asserted to day, that the Austrian General Wolffskehl has surrendered by capitulation to a column set against him by Marshal Ney, from Inspruck, and which cut off his retreat, Marshal Augereau will have for the moment no enemy to fight against, and may act in concert with Marshal Ney, against the Italian Tyrol.
NEUTRALITY OF PRUSSIA.
NURAMBERG, Nov. 1.
We now know in a positive manner what to believe of the intentions of Prussia towards all the belligerent powers. A new rescript of the Prussian cabinet, addressed to the inhabitants of the Prussian provinces in Franconia, removes all doubts. The regencies of the margraviates of Anspach and Bareuth immediately caused it to be published with the following introduction:
"It has been lately made known to all the Prussian authorities, that all foreign armies shall be proceeded against, to avoid all species of excess, in the same manner and with the greatest impartiality. But as though misunderstandings and ignorance of the true intentions of the government, it has been reported that his Majesty the King of Prussia wished to take an active part in the war, it has been enjoined us to make known to the people, that the military preparations of Prussia merely relate to the maintenance of the strictest neutrality; that the measures hitherto taken are only intended to insure the guarantee of the same, and that no other interpretation must be given to them. We in consequence repeat to all the authorities and order them to make known to those under their jurisdiction, that all the reports touching the participation of his Majesty in the war, are destitute of all foundation: And this declaration is made in order to prevent and hinder all illegal acts on part of the individuals and communes."

DOCUMENTS.
Accompanying the Message from the President of the United States, respecting the violation of neutral rights; the depredations on the colonial trade, and impressments of American seamen.
Extract of a letter from the secretary of state to James Munroe, Esq. dated, Department of State, April 12, 1805.
"The papers herewith inclosed explain particularly the case of the brig Aurora."
"The sum of the case is, that whilst Spain was at war with Great Britain, this vessel, owned by a citizen of the United States, brought a cargo of Spanish produce, purchased at the Havana, from that place to Charleston, where the cargo was landed, except an insignificant portion of it, and the duties paid, or secured, according to law, in like manner as they are required to be paid, or secured, on a like cargo, from whatever port, meant for home consumption, that the cargo remained on board about three weeks, when it was reshipped for Barcelona, in old Spain, and the duties drawn back, with a deduction of three and a half per cent. as is permitted to imported articles in all cases, at any time within one year, under certain regulations, which were pursued in this case; that the vessel was taken on her voyage by a British cruiser, and sent for trial to Newfoundland, where the cargo was condemned by the court of vice admiralty; and that the cause was carried thence, by appeal, to Great Britain, where it was apprehended that the sentence below would not be reversed."
"The ground of this sentence was, and that of its confirmation, if such be the result, must be, that the trade in which the vessel was engaged was unlawful, and this unlawfulness must rest, first, on the general principle assumed by Great Britain, that a trade from a colony to its parent country, being a trade not permitted to other nations in time of peace, cannot be made lawful to them in time of war; secondly, on the allegation that the continuity of the voyage from the Havana to Barcelona was not broken by landing the cargo in the United States, paying the duties thereon, and thus fulfilling the legal pre-requisites to a home consumption; and, therefore, that the cargo was subject to condemnation even under the British regulation of January, 1798, which so far relaxes the general principle as to allow a direct trade between a belligerent colony, and a neutral country carrying on such a trade."
"With respect to the general principle which disallows to neutral nations in time of war, a trade not allowed to them in time of peace, it may be observed."
"First, That the principle is of modern date; that it is maintained, as is believed, by no other nation but Great Britain; and that it was assumed by her under the auspices of a maritime ascendancy, which rendered such a principle subservient to her particular interest. The history of her regulations on this subject, shews that they have been constantly modified under the influence of that consideration. The course of these modifications will be seen in an appendix to the fourth volume of Robinson's Admiralty Report."
"Secondly, That the principle is manifestly contrary to the general interest of commercial nations, as well as to the law of nations settled by the most approved authorities, which recognises no restraints on the trade of nations not at war, with nations at war, other than that it shall be impartial between the latter, that it shall not extend to certain military articles, nor to the transportation of persons in military service, nor to places actually blockaded or besieged."
"Thirdly, That the principle is the more contrary to reason and to right, in as much as the admission of neutrals into a colonial trade shut against them in times of peace, may, and often does, result from considerations which open to neutrals direct channels of trade with the parent state, that to them in times of peace, the legality of which latter relaxation is not known to have been contested; and inasmuch as a commerce may be, and frequently is opened in time of war, between a colony and other countries, from considerations which are not incident to the war, and which would produce the same effect in a time of peace; such, for example, as a failure or diminution of the ordinary sources of necessary supplies, or new wants in the course of profitable interchanges."
"Fourthly, That it is not only contrary to the principles and practice of other nations, but to the practice of Great Britain herself. It is well known to be her invaluable practice in time of war, by relaxation in her navigation laws, to admit neutrals to trade in channels forbidden to them in times of peace; and particularly to open her colonial trade both to neutral vessels and supplies, to which it is shut in times of peace; and that one at least of her objects, in these relaxations, is to give to her trade an immunity from capture, to which in her own hands it would be subjected by the war."
"Fifthly, The practice which has prevailed in the British dominions, sanctioned by orders of council and an act of parliament, [39 G. 3. c. 38.] authorising for British subjects a direct trade with the enemy, still further diminishes the force of her pretensions for depriving us of the colonial trade. Thus we see in Robinson's admiralty reports Passim, that during the last war, a licensed commercial intercourse prevailed between Great Britain and her enemies, France, Spain and Holland, because it comprehended articles necessary for her manufactures and agriculture; notwithstanding the effect it had in opening a vent to the surplus productions of the others. In this manner she assumes to suspend the war itself as to particular objects of trade beneficial to herself; while she denies the right of the other belligerents to suspend their accustomed commercial restrictions in favor of neutrals. But the injustice and inconsistency of her attempt to press a strict rule on neutrals, is more forcibly displayed by the nature of the trade which is openly carried on between the
colonies of Great Britain and Spain in the West-Indies. The mode of it is detailed in the enclosed copy of a letter from [blank] wherein it will be seen that American vessels and cargoes, after being condemned in British courts under pretence of illicit commerce, are sent on British account, to the enemies of Great Britain, if not to the very port of the destination interrupted when they were American property. What respect can be claimed from others to a doctrine not only of so recent an origin, and enforced with so little uniformity, but which is so conspicuously disregarded in practice by the nation itself, which stands alone in contending for it?"
"Sixthly, It is particularly worthy of attention that the board of commissioners jointly constituted by the British and American governments under the seventh article of the treaty of 1794, by reserving condemnations of the British courts founded on the British instructions of November, 1793, condemned the principle, that a trade forbidden to neutrals in time of peace, could not be opened to them in time of war; on which precise principle these instructions were founded. And as the reversal could be justified by no other authority than the law of nations, by which they were guided, and the law of nations, according to that joint tribunal, condemns the principle here combated. Whether the British commissioners concurred in these reversals does not appear; but whether they did or did not, the decision was equally binding; and affords a precedent which could not be disregarded by a like succeeding tribunal, and ought not to be without great weight with both nations, in like questions recurring between them."
"On these grounds the U. S. may justly regard the British captures and condemnations of neutral trade with colonies of the enemies of Great Britain as violations of right; and it reason consistancy, or that sound policy which cannot be at variance with either, be allowed the weight which they ought to have, the British government will feel sufficient motives to repair the wrongs done in such cases by its cruisers and courts."
"But, apart from this general view of the subject, a refusal to indemnify the sufferers, in the particular case of the Aurora, is destitute of every pretext; because, in the second place, the continuity of her voyage was clearly and palpably broken, and the trade converted into a new character."
"It has been already noted that the British regulation of 1798, admits a direct trade in time of war between a belligerent colony and a neutral country carrying on the trade; and admits consequently the legality of the importation by the Aurora from the Havana to Charleston. Nor has it ever been pretended that a neutral nation has not a right to re-export to any belligerent country whatever foreign productions, not contraband of war which may have been duly incorporated and naturalized, as part of the commercial stock of the country re-exporting it."
"The question then to be decided under the British regulation itself, is, whether in landing the cargo, paying the duties, and thus as effectually qualifying the articles for the legal consumption of the country, as if they had been its native productions, they were not at the same time equally qualified with native productions for exportation to a foreign market. That such ought to be the decision results irresistibly from the following considerations."
"1. From the respect which is due to the internal regulations of every country, where they cannot be charged with a temporizing partiality towards particular belligerent parties or with fraudulent views towards all of them. The regulations of the U. S. on this subject, must be free from every possible imputation; being not only fair in their appearance, but just in their principles, and having continued the same during the periods of war, as they were in those of peace. It may be added that they probably correspond, in every essential feature relating to re-exportations, with the laws of other commercial countries, and particularly with those of Great Britain. The annexed outline of them, by the Secretary of the Treasury, will at once explain their character, and shew that, in the case of the Aurora, every legal requisite was duly complied with."
"2. From the impossibility of substituting any other admissible criterion, than that of landing the articles, and otherwise qualifying them for the use of the country. If this regular and customary proceeding, be not a barrier against further enquiries, where, It may be asked, are the enquiries to stop? By what evidence are particular articles to be identified on the high seas, or before a foreign tribunal? If identified, how is it to be ascertained whether they were imported with a view to the market at home, or to a foreign market, or as ought always to be presumed, to the one or the other as it should happen to invite? Or if to a foreign market, whether to one forbidden or permitted by the British regulations? For it is to be recollected that among the modifications which her policy has given to be general principle asserted by her, a direct trade is permitted to a neutral carrier from a belligerent colony, to her ports, as well as to those of her own country. If, again, the landing of the goods, and the payment of the duties be not sufficient to break the continuity of the voyage, what, it may be asked, is the degree of internal
change or alienation which will have that effect? May not a claim be set up to trace the articles from hand to hand, from ship to ship, in the same port, and even from one port to another port, as long as they remain in the country? In a word, in departing from the simple criterion provided by the country itself, for its own legitimate and permanent objects, it is obvious that besides the defalcations which might be committed on our carrying trade, pretences will be given to cruisers for endless vexations on our commerce at large, and that a latitude and delays will accrue in the distant proceedings of admiralty courts, still more ruinous and intolerable."
"3. From the decision in the British high court of admiralty itself, given in the case of the Polly, Lasky, master, by a judge deservedly celebrated for a profound judgment, which cannot be suspected of learning towards doctrines unjust or injurious to the rights of his own country. On that occasion he expressly declares; "It is not my business to say what is universally the test of a bona fide importation: it is argued what it would be sufficient that the duties should be paid, and that the cargo should be landed. If these criteria are not to be resorted to, I should be at a loss to know what should be the test; and I am strongly disposed to hold, that it would be sufficient, that the goods should be landed and the duties paid." 2 Rob. Rep. p. 368—9."
"The president has thought it proper that you should be furnished with such a view of the subject as is here sketched; that you may make the use of it best suited to the occasion. If the trial of the Aurora should not be over it is questionable whether the government will interfere with its courts. Should the trial be over and the sentence of the vice-admiralty court at St. Johns have been confirmed, you are to lose no time in presenting to the British government a representation corresponding with the scope of these observations; and in urging that redress in the case, which is equally due to private justice, to the reasonable expectations of the United States, and to that confidence and harmony, which ought to be cherished between the two nations."
NASSAU (N. P.) January 1.
Extract from the journal kept by Capt. Riley, of the brig Eliza and Mary. Sailed from New-York the 16th of September, and arrived at Teneriffe the 5th of November, where he learnt the following intelligence. That the Rochefort squadron, consisting of 5 sail of the line, 3 frigates, and 2 brigs of war, with the Calcutta English 50 gun ship, and 6 English merchant ships, prizes to the squadron, had arrived at Santa-Cruz on the 3rd ult. which caused an embargo to be laid on all vessels directly, and which was to continue while the squadron was in port. They had sunk several English ships that had valuable cargoes, on account of their bad sailing, not being able to keep up with the squadron.—That they had uniformly sunk or burnt all neutral vessels they fell in with at sea, that were either bound to or along the coasts of Europe, to prevent intelligence getting to the English fleet.—That they had taken out their crews, and told them they must go with them to France, and should be paid by the government the full amount, with damage.—That among the neutrals were the following American vessels, viz.—brigs Minerva, Salter, of New-York; and Two Friends, Feswick, of Charleston, with valuable cargoes, both burnt; schooners—Tucker; and Sargeant, both of Boston. The number of neutral vessels taken and destroyed by the squadron amounted to 26, the captains of which, during the day, were allowed the liberty of going on shore, but the same privilege was not extended to their officers or crews. The commander in chief, Moons. Le Almane, had taken all their papers, and given to each a certificate, stating that he had destroyed their vessels and cargoes, and that they must apply to the Minister at Paris for a remuneration.
SAVANNAH, January 11.
Arrived, schr. Joseph, Conn, from Cape-Francois, and 4 days from New- Providence. The Joseph was captured by 3 English men of war, and carried into New-Providence—after a detention of 15 days, was permitted to depart, on paying 700 dollars cost of court.—Captain Conn informs, that he saw at Nassau Capt. Riley, direct from Teneriffe, which place he

left about the 7th of December, who informed, that the Rochefort squadron, under the command of Mons. Le Almane, consisting of 5 sail of the line, 2 frigates, a brig and a cutter, had put into Santa-Cruz, in said island, to water, several days prior to his sailing, bringing with them the Calcutta English 50 gun ship, and 6 English India merchant ships, taken on their homeward bound passage—an embargo was immediately laid. On the 5th the squadron again put to sea—on the 7th, the day which Capt. Riley failed, he fell in with the squadron, then in sight off Teneriffe, and saw them capturing the outward bound Cork fleet, consisting of about 40 sail, one of which, being a fast sailer, escaped: spoke Capt. R. and informed him that it was probable the most of them would fall into the hands of the French.
CHARLESTON, January 13.
Capt. Harvey has favoured us with a file of the Political and Commercial Gazette of Hayti, to the 19th of December. In one of them we notice a Decree of the Emperor, of the 24th of November, prohibiting the importation of salt, in foreign vessels, under penalty of confiscation.
A few days before Capt. Harvey failed, intelligence reached Cape-Francois, that three Italian vessels, two ships and a brig, which had failed from Italy for Carthagena, on the Spanish Main, having, in the expectation of making a great voyage, entered the port of Aux Cayes, the crews were immediately arrested, by order of Dessalines, and thrown into prison;—they were afterwards tried, condemned, and all of them executed, on the ground that Bonaparte, being King of Italy, was their sovereign, and they must consequently suffer as subjects.
On Sunday afternoon the United States brig Hornet, Captain Chauncey, returned from a cruise.
Capt. Wood, from the Bay of Honduras, informs that a new regulation has taken place in that bay, in respect to the exportation of wood, in American vessels:—they are now allowed to take away mahogany of 20 inches; but only 3 tons of logwood are allowed to every 10,000 feet of mahogany. The importation of beef, pork, &c. is prohibited, the same as in Jamaica.
From the BOSTON GAZETTE.
Messrs. Russell & Cutler,
THE following COUNTERFEIT BANK BILLS are in circulation in the Northern States—and we think it our duty to describe them, as far as is in our power, to prevent their circulation. Those who are not thoroughly acquainted with bills, ought to be cautious what ones they take—as these never were more counterfeits in circulation than at the present moment.
Bills of the State of Massachusetts.
Union Bank, at Boston. —Five Dollar Bills. They are executed entirely with a pen, and can easily be distinguished from the true ones—but few in circulation.
Massachusetts Bank, at Boston. —Ten Dollar Bills—a good imitation of the true ones—paper lighter—few in circulation.
New Bedford Bank. —Nine Dollar Bills—hard to distinguish from the genuine bills; excepting in the motto, “peace to the world.”—In world, the l and d are in a shade in the counterfeits. The true bills have only the d.—Paper more spungy and whiter than the original.
Maine Bank, at Portland. —Five Seven and Nine Dollar Bills are counterfeited.—Some of the Nine’s are dated March 16, 1803, and are hard to distinguish from the true bills. The Seven’s are dated March 4, 1804, and are also well imitated.
Portland Bank. —Seven Dollar Bills—easily known from the genuine.
Nantucket Pacific Bank. —Ten Dollar Bills, and Two Dollar Bills of Nantucket Bank altered to Ten Dollars.
Lincoln and Kennebec Bank, at Wiscasset. —Ten Dollar Bills. Imitation good. Paper lighter and more spungy than the genuine.
Plymouth Bank. —Five Dollar Bills, of the first impression issued from the Bank. Imitation good, excepting the red and black ink, which are at once a detection of them—but few in circulation.
Gloucester Bank. —Five and Ten Dollar Bills—but so badly done, that a single glance of the eye can detect them—but few in circulation.
There are also Four and Six Dollar Bills of Salem Bank in circulation. Imitation poor besides bearing a fictitious signature of President, and Cashier. The genuine bills bear the names
of Benjamin Pickman, jun. as President, and Jona. Hodges, as Cashier.
The incorporated Banks in this State, are twenty-two; and we believe all the counterfeit bills in circulation are enumerated above.
Bills of the State of New Hampshire.
Dover Bank. —Two Dollar Bills.—Very badly executed. They are dated February 7 1804. Portsmouth. —Five and Ten Dollar Bills of New Hampshire Bank, payable at the Bank of the United States in Philadelphia. They are a tolerable imitation.
Cheshire Bank at Keene. —Ten Dollar Bills, dated Jan. 12, 1805.—They are well executed, and known only by a critical examination with the true bills.
Some Two dollar bills of this Bank, are also altered to a ten.
Bills of the State of Connecticut.
Norwich. —One Dollar Bills altered to 25. The 25 in German Text is shaded by a scrawl; in the genuine they are not. One Dollar Bills are also altered to ten—and are well done.
New London. —Twenty Dollar Bills, altered from a smaller denomination, extremely well done.
Bills of the State of Rhode-Island.
Smithfield Bank. —Two three, seven, five and ten dollar bills of this bank, have recently got into circulation. The seven are extremely well imitated—so much so, that it requires a very close comparison with the true bills to distinguish them. The other denominations are also well imitated.
Providence. —Five Dollar bills of the Exchange Bank—imitation very bad.
There are also in circulation ten dollar bills of the banks in Providence, altered from a smaller denomination.
Newport Union Bank. —Three dollar bills, dated March 8, 1804—clumsily done.
Washington Bank, at Westerly. —One dollar bills altered to twenty five. There are also a few five dollar bills, counterfeited, of this bank, in circulation.
Bills of the State of New York.
Farmers’ Bank, at Troy. —Ten dollar bills, the impression generally fainter than the true ones—paper lighter complexion, and more spungy.
Manhattan Bank, at New-York. —Five and ten dollar bills, poorly imitated, and easily known from the genuine bills.
Besides the above counterfeits, there are five, ten, twenty and fifty dollar bills of the United States Bank, in circulation. Those acquainted with bills, can easily discover them from the genuine.
There are also, within a few days, got into circulation, spurious ten dollar bills of Newbern Bank, dated July 25, 1805 signed JAMES M’KINLEY, President, and M. C. STEPHENS Cashier. They are a handsome looking bill—but no such bank exists.—There also no such banks as Burlington, Richmond, Scituate, or Philadelphia Union Bank; bills of which are in circulation.
POSTSCRIPT.
Since our publication in the Centinel, stating the number of Counterfeit Bank Bills in circulation, we have seen four other kinds, not enumerated in our statement, viz.—Three Dollar Hartford Bank, altered to Thirty Dollars and extremely well done—Three Dollars of Cheshire Bank, also altered to Thirty Dollars—2, 3 5 and 10 Dollar Bills of Gloucester Rhode-Island Bank, many of which are in circulation. They are a tolerable imitation of the genuine ones.—Also, Five Dollar Bills of Lincoln and Kennebec Bank, poorly done.
From motives of public good we have been thus particular in describing all the counterfeit bills in circulation; and the several printers will doubtless render a service to the community by inserting the above in their papers.

NEWPORT.
THURSDAY—FEBRUARY 13; 1806.
ATTENTION!
THE Republicans of the town of Newport, are requested to meet at the Theatre on MONDAY EVENING next, to consider on business of importance.—A general attendance is expected.
Newport, Feb. 12.
We have this day completed the publication of the details of the operations of the French Army in Germany, from the time of their crossing the Rhine to their entry into Vienna. The article giving an account of the latter event, we published some time ago.
Mr. Gregg’s Resolution in the house of Representatives of the U. States, of January 29th, for prohibiting the importation of any English goods or merchandise into this country, was the next day committed to a Committee of the whole House, on the state of the Union.—The commitment passed, 69 members Voting for it.
The piece signed “a citizen of Rhode Island” has been received, and we can with pleasure add, the sentiments which it expresses, are in perfect union with our own upon the subject, upon which it treats. But as the views and intentions of the person whose duplicity and low cunning it is intended to expose, are not at the present known, except to his particular friends, we are doubtful whether it would be good policy to give it publicity. If however the writer be of a different opinion from us, we will publish it in our next.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in St. Louis, to his friend in Kentucky.
“Relative to your enquiry, Louisiana Contains from 12 to 15,000 souls, of the free whites. It is said that the American population exceeds that of the French, Spanish, &c. &c. At any rate, were it not for the industry of the Americans, we should be under the necessity of importing the necessaries of life from your State.—The lands in Louisiana are in general good. That part on which most of the settlements are made is of the first quality, and will produce crops of corn, wheat, &c. &c. when cultivated, equal to any in America. Our country abounds with Lead Mines and salt springs, to say nothing of the “Salt Mountain,” which the credulous alone have any belief in. Peltry has heretofore been considered as the staple commodity of Louisiana; at present however I am inclined to believe that the quantity of lead surpasses it. Shipments to New-Orleans of beef, pork, lard, butter, bacon and some other articles, are not unfrequent; but the length of time necessary to return, (here from New-Orleans) almost discourages undertakings of this kind.
To describe the manners and customs of the people would require more time than my avocations will permit me to spare. The manners of the French have always been remarked as polite, engaging, and affable; such they are in Louisiana. And yet a New-Englandman would be more pleased with the less engaging, but more sincere and independent manners of his countrymen.
AMERICAN SEAMEN IMPRESSED.
WARREN, JANUARY 25.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Seth Barton son of Col. David Barton, of this town, dated FUNCHALL, (MADEIRA) Sept. 21.
Honoured Parent,
“I suppose you have been informed of our misfortune. We sailed from Rio de la Plata, in the ship Mary-Ann, Capt. Cory, of Providence, on the 3d of December, and were captured in the English channel by his Britannic Majesty’s ship Polyphemus, of 64 guns Capt. Lawson. We then being under Spanish colours, they took all the Spanish seamen out, who were made prisoners of war; & we Americans, who had good protections, made slaves. We had the misfortune to be on board the Polyphemus about three months before we got into England; and when we arrived at Plymouth, we wrote to the American Consul in London, and to the Vice-Consul at Plymouth, from whom got an answer, that Capt. Cory had made application for our discharges—but before the Consul could do any thing for us, they sent us on board the Raisonable 64, Capt. Rowly, and in her carried us to sea. I was in their service 6 months and 19 days: and the Raisonable touching at the Isle of Madeira, on the 28 of August, between 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning, I swam from her, and had the good fortune, through my Master’s divine pleasure, to get safe on shore, with one pair of trowsers, one shirt, a handkerchief, and my protection, with which I went to Mr. Lemars, the American Consul, and that gentleman received me in a fatherly manner, gave me clothes, and sent me to live in his house, until he could procure a passage for me.
“I left on board five of my countrymen, and old shipmates in the Mary Ann, viz.—Charles Fenner Bowen, of Providence, nephew to Doctors William and Pardon Bowen. John Gorton Olin—Thomas Rice Greene, and Benjamin Hatch, all of Warwick, or East Greenwich; and they have all protections but Hatch. I left likewise Thomas Wood, of Sionington. I am sure they never will be liberated, unless by the interference of the government of the United States.”
NORFOLK, Jan. 15.—The following extract of a letter was put into our hands by a mercantile friend of this place; the writer is a captain of an American vessel, well known to the Editor of this paper, for his candour and veracity, and one who would not complain without cause, or exaggerate British depredations.
The letter is dated Antigua, 28th December.
“It was fortunate that I had not sold, and purchased a return cargo at Martinique, as much loss to you, and anxiety to me have been avoided. It would have been impossible for me to have eluded the vigilance of the British cruizers in these seas. A system has been adopted here, the most inequitous in itself, and ruinous to our trade that can be imagined. Every American vessel coming from a French Island, with cargo, is certain to be carried in, because the courts in every case make us pay all expenses. I have informed myself fully on the subject, and know that the privateers out of this Island are ordered to bring every vessel from a French port, with cargo, in for trial, stating that matters are settled between the court and them that the expenses shall be paid in all cases by the Americans.
“The abuses to which we are subjected are intolerable; a junto consisting of the Judge, the Lawyers, the owners of privateers, and those who become our friends, when we are brought in, have laid their heads together to fleece us; we are sure to be out to great expense, the amount of which the Gentlemen share between them. They appear to us to be opposed to each other, but they I know divide the spoil. I got my information from one of the party, and what I see every day confirms the information I have received. It is a fact that several American vessels have been sent in here whose papers were never looked at, by those who sent them in.—They were ordered to send them in, without regard to papers or documents, for the reasons before stated.”

POETRY.
THE AFFECTIONATE SOLDIER.
TWAS in the evening of a wintry day, When safe returning from a long campaign, Allen o'er toiled and weary with the way, Came home to see his Sally once again.
His battered arms he carelessly threw down, And view'd his Sally with enraptured eyes, But she receiv'd him with a modest frown; She knew not Allen in his rough disguise.
His hair was knotted and his beard unshorn, His tattered garments about him hung; A tear of pleasure did each cheek adorn, And blessings fell in torrents from his tongue.
Am I so alter'd by this cruel trade, That you your faithful Allen have forgot? Or is your heart unto another strayed? Ah! why escap'd I from the murderous shot?
When thus he spoke, her wonted color fled, She ran and sank upon her Allen's breast, All pale awhile, she look'd like one that's dead, He kiss'd, she breath'd and all her loves confessed.
Yes, my delight—tho' alter'd as thou art, Reduc'd by honest courage to this state, Thou art the golden treasure of my heart, My long-lost husband and my with'd for mate!
CURIOUS ADVERTISEMENT.
MADAM SPITFIRE, at the sign of the Furies, next door to the Cat's Paw tavern, offers her services to the public to teach the noble art of Scolding and Quarrelling in good or bad humor, in love or spite; by the week, day, hour, minute, or second; early or late; before or after meal; without regard to any person; in Dutch or English. She has discovered a new way for women to pull the hair and cap of their adversary. Scolding, &c. taught in the genteellest manner, to country women as well as town ladies. She has a very peculiar mode of scolding adapted to every age and circumstance of life. Married women taught to scold their husbands blind, deaf, and dumb, in six weeks. As a proof of her abilities in this polite acquirement, she scolded eight husbands to death in three years time, and the ninth is far gone. She teaches how to make grimaces, or furious faces. Sleepy husbands may have their wives taught to scold them awake. She scolded the teeth out of her head the first year she followed this noble business, which renders her incapable of teaching the art of biting; but, on the other hand, she is not afflicted with the tooth-ache, which is a great advantage. She is well provided with needles and pins to teach how to scratch faces, arms, hands, eyes, &c.
LATE OMISSIONS.
WILMINGTON (N. C.) Jan. 7. Capt. Ryan who left Trinidad Dec. 11th, informs, that a few days before he failed 7000 negroes had revolted and embodied at Port-of-Spain with an intention of destroying the place and committing a general massacre of the whites; that Marshal Law was immediately proclaimed; the troops and inhabitants turned out, and the King of the Insurgents with 17 of their ringleaders were taken, examined and committed to prison; but on the 14th at 4 o'clock when Capt. Ryan was under way, there was a general alarm fired and the bloody flag hoisted.
BOSTON, Feb. 1. Mr. Bowdoin, our ambassador to the court of Madrid, was, at the period of the last advices, at Paris.—Mr. C. Pinckney's functions ceased on Mr. Bowdoin's arrival, and he has resided for his health in the neighborhood of Lisbon since. Mr. Erving our charge des affaires is at Madrid, and through him, or through Mr. Bowdoin, only, can authentic information concerning our claims on Spain be expected to be communicated. The late report of advices by Mr. Parish is unfounded.
