...the far famed banks of the Danube, in a severe defeat of the Austrians by the French and Confederate troops directed by Napoleon in person and executed by Berthier, Lefebvre, Davoust, &c.
Foreign Intelligence.
By the ship Virginia, which arrived at New York 21st ult. from Amsterdam, Dutch papers and reports are received to the first of May, from which the following is selected.
A letter from Amsterdam of the 29th of April, to a respectable house in New-York, says,
"I have just time to inform you, that official accounts are just received of the defeat of the Austrians on the Danau—25,000 killed, 10,000 prisoners & 100 pieces of cannon taken by the French."
Translated for the Mercantile Advertiser, from an Amsterdam Paper of May 1.
DRESDEN, April 19. We have at present no other intelligence of the belligerent armies than that the French are concentrated on the Banks of the Danube.
DONAUWERTH, April 18. The moment his majesty the Emperor arrived here he issued the following proclamation to his army:— "SOLDIERS—We have fixed the territory of the confederacy; yet the Austrian Gen. imagines that on the appearance of his army we shall precipitately retreat, and leave our allies to his mercy. The bird of power hovers around me: I am surrounded by my Soldiers. When the sovereign of Austria visited our Cabinet, you saw him depart with vows of eternal friendship. In three wars we have conquered Austria, and she has repaid with perfidy the debt of gratitude she owed us. Let us march. At the approach of our armies she will once more acknowledge her conquerors."
(Signed) "NAPOLEON."
BACH, April 20. "I have the honor to inform your majesty that during three days we have repulsed the enemy. Your troops have distinguished themselves."
April 21—This day the French Envoy at the Court of Sillingen made the following report public: "It is this moment reported by the Prince of Neufchatel, that a great battle had been obtained yesterday by the Bavarian army, headed by his majesty the Emperor and King Napoleon, who has made from 10 to 12,000 prisoners, and the Austrian army is retreating. The fruits of this battle are many stands of colors, a great number of cannon. A general and a bloody engagement is soon expected."
LUDWIGSBURG, April 23. We have this moment received the following intelligence:
OFFICIAL BULLETIN. The fire of heaven has struck the Austrian army, and its ingratitude & guilty perfidy are punished. We have taken more than thirty thousand prisoners. All their cordon are destroyed. More than 20 generals are killed or wounded. An Archduke is among the killed, and two others increase the list of the wounded. We have taken many standards, cannon, much ammunition, and a great quantity of provisions. This battle, in our opinion, has decided the fate of the war equally as much as the battle of Jena did that which preceded it. The Prince of Lichtenstein is wounded mortally.
LONDON, May 6. Letters, received from Holland, mention a report of the King of Saxony having been arrested by order of Bonaparte, on suspicion of having carried on a secret correspondence with the Emperor of Austria, but this is not confirmed.
On the 28th March, Lord Collingwood failed from Minorca, for the Bay of Toulon, with 13 sail of the line.
BAD NEWS—IF TRUE. The Virginia, Capt. Crockett has arrived at New York from Holland, and has brought Gallo Dutch accounts a few days into May. They announce the reconnoissemment of cargo on
the far famed banks of the Danube, in a severe defeat of the Austrians by the French and Confederate troops directed by Napoleon in person and executed by Berthier, Lefebvre, Davoust, &c.
"We have not seen any real official accounts of this event; the particulars of which have been received in German extracts of letters, bulletins (hand bills) and paragraphs, copied into the Augsburg Gazettes and will be found in the preceding column; these accounts are vague and contradictory, they show, that a battle must have been fought in Bavaria about the 20th April; and that after a conflict of three days, the French Emperor again practicing his accustomed tactics, gained the rear of his enemy and completely overwhelmed him. Circumstances, however, induce us to believe, that it was not the main army of Austria, which is commanded by the Archduke Charles, that has been defeated; but the corps which crossed the Inn, advanced to the Rer, and had taken possession of Munich, and which was commanded by Prince John of Lichtenstein. This corps, was in the vicinity of the reported scene of action, about the middle of April; at which time the French and Bavarian columns were concentrating on the borders of Swabia and Bavaria, and the Emperor in person, was at Donawerth the 17th or 18th April, and proceeded immediately to the lines. It would appear from one of the German articles, that the Austrians were the assailants as mention is made that the French repulsed the attack of their enemy. The killed and prisoners, are stated in round numbers; and are probably exaggerated, but we have reason to think the Austrian loss has not been small; and that the rejoicings which were heard on the French coast the 28th and 29th April, as mentioned in our late English news, were on account of this success. It is mentioned, however, as rather an extraordinary fact, if a splendid victory had been obtained that no Grand Army Bulletin of it had reached Amsterdam the 2d or 3d of May—twelve or thirteen days after the date of the battle; the distance from the reported scene of which from Amsterdam is not more than 450 American miles.
"It is possible, notwithstanding the circumstances mentioned above, that a general battle has been fought, in which the fate of Austria was decided; and that the particulars will reach us by the next arrivals. The Bonapartist mode of warfare is so dissimilar from that of any other warrior who has preceded him, that very little reliance can be placed on calculations made from previous positions, dates and distances. A kingdom is now overrun in the time used formerly in changing a position preparatory to an attack or defence; and the operations of an army composed of its hundreds of thousands, are now as rapidly performed, as formerly a division could be deployed, or a close column formed by two or three brigades.
"The last news from Portugal, if authentic, is more auspicious to the patriotic cause than former advices. Accounts from Lisbon, via Madeira, state, that the British and Portuguese had advanced from Lisbon towards Oporto, under Generals Wellesley and Beresford; and that the French garrison in that city were in such distress, from want of provisions, as must compel them to a speedy surrender. The British force in Portugal is stated at rising 25,000, of which nine regiments are cavalry; besides several brigades of light Artillery. Reinforcements for Portugal are continually embarking in England. Gen. Girdwood commands in Lisbon in the absence of Gen. Wellesley.
"The tidings from France, by the Virginia are not pleasing. Bonaparte had not shown any disposition to relax his Decrees; and it was considered in Holland as highly probable, that his new success in Germany would induce him to take more arbitrary ground and treat any overtures from our government on the subject of a repeal of those decrees, with augmented haughtiness and contempt. The expected return of Gen. Armstrong in the Mentor, is contradicted in the New-York papers.
BOSTON, JUNE 29.
LATEST FROM LISBON.
By the arrival, yesterday, of the brig Favonius , capt. Stacey, 37 days from Lisbon, we have been favored with papers of that city to the 16th May. They speak favorably of the state of the combined English and Portuguese troops—that they had been so greatly increased and disciplined as to afford the strongest assurance of safety to the inhabitants;—that business had revived; and the public routes again opened for the amusement and accommodation of the people;—that the Theatre was opened, on the 14th May, for the first time since the departure of the Prince Regent. Of the military operations of the armies, and other information, the following sketch from the latest date, will furnish examples:—
"Lisbon, May 16, 1809. "Authentic letters from Lamego, of the date of the 9th current (May) affirm that the Portuguese have rendered themselves masters of the passage of Regua, and of other strong positions on the opposite side of the Douero, and that our troops in consequence have a free passage to the other side of the river. The French have not yet given us battle."
"By a vessel, which failed from Oporto for Brazil, and which has been obliged to enter the Tagus, we are assured, that the French have retired from Amarante, to take a position on the Douero.—In a few days, we expect to give the details of an action, which cannot fail to take place."
"The captain of the same ship reports, that the province of Gallacia had recovered its liberty; that the French are there up in the fort of Coruna, and that the troops of Romana surround them, and that there is no doubt that they will be obliged to surrender in a few days."
Copy of a despatch from Gen. Beresford, to his Excellency Petero Foj.
"I have the honor to communicate to your Excellency, that on the 9th of May, I had caused a detachment to advance to take a favorable position between Amarante and Meza Frio, which are occupied by the French, having met with no other enemy than a small detachment who fled, I had an opportunity of placing 4 pieces of cannon in an excellent position. I ordered a constant fire upon the division of the enemy, who at the end of two hours beat a retreat in great disorder. Major Harding, whom I had sent to observe the effect of this fire, reports to have seen the French carry off 5 waggons of wounded. Their force consisted of 2500 infantry and
500 cavalry, commanded by Gen. Loison. I have ordered a reinforcement, commanded by the Gen. Francisco de Silveira to keep this position, and to cut off the communication between Amarante and Meza Frio.—The conduct of the enemy was horrible, having burnt all the villages and huts in his retreat. (Signed) BERESFORD. Head Quarters at Lamego, 11th May.
Copy of a letter, dated the 11th of May, at the advanced posts.
"I have the honor of informing your excellency that the French have abandoned Meza Frio. I shall do my utmost to maintain the good position I have taken.—By the advices that I have received I can say that the French have lost 30 cavalry and 30 infantry, and that they have had a great number wounded, and have abandoned one ammunition waggon and a great quantity of waggons loaded with provisions. (Signed) FRANCISCO DE SILVEIRA.
Copy of a letter from his Excellency M. Villiers, Minister of his Britannic Majesty, to his Excellency Petero Foj, May 11th.
"I have this instant received the news that the troops commanded by Sir Arthur Wellesley have completely beaten the French to the number of 4000.—The 16th Portuguese regiment distinguished themselves.—We have obliged the enemy to abandon their positions."
The following article is received in a letter from Lisbon, dated on the 17th May:— There have been great rejoicings here to day, on account, as I understand by the Guards, of the French being defeated at, or near, Oporto."
In confirmation of the above intelligence, Capt. Stacey verbally reports, that the day previous to his departure, (18th May) official accounts were received of the retaking of Oporto by the English and Portuguese troops;—that the French had retreated some miles from the city; but their communication with Spain being completely cut off, and surrounded by a superior force, news was momentarily expected of their unconditional surrender and that great rejoicings and illuminations had taken place in consequence of this agreeable intelligence; Capt. Stacey also reports, that the armies were in high spirits; and that the greatest good will and unanimity existed between the English and Portuguese armies.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated May 17. "We have just received the glorious news, that Oporto is retaken by the English; the retreat of the French is cut off and their surrender as prisoners of war, inevitable."
A vessel had just arrived at Lisbon from England, bringing the agreeable intelligence of a final adjustment of our differences with England. Capt. Stacey did not understand that they had been officially received.
From St. Domingo (city) March 22, 1809.
"We still remain besieged by the Spaniards, and blockaded by the English, though not very strictly by the latter. At this moment there is scarce an ounce of bread, beef, pork, cheese, butter, &c. to be had, excepting on some days a piece of horse meat, and on others a little fish and a few vegetables.—Government has a small quantity of provisions in store, but it is exclusively appropriated for the army. Since Ferrand's affair, the French have been victorious in every engagement with the Spaniards, have taken several of their works and cannon and extended their lines to a considerable distance in the country. We are in good spirits at present, believing the Embargo was raised the 4th inst. and looking out for American vessels daily. A small parcel of provisions which has arrived since the siege has sold at enormous prices, viz.—Butter, lard and cheese, at 2 dollars per pound; Beef 75 cents, Pork 150 cents, Potatoes and Corn, 25 cents per pound. Flour would sell at 50 dollars."
FROM HAVANNA—LATE
Letters from Havana, to the 5th June have been received in Philadelphia:—They announce the receipt of news from Spain, by King's packet, that Gen. Romana had taken Tuy [in Galicia] and 25000 French—[By our last accounts from Spain, via England, Romana was at Gijon, about 180 miles from Tuy]—That the Patriotic cause in Spain was flourishing; and great hopes entertained of its final success.—The British King's birthday was celebrated at Havana, in a magnificent style. In the evening, at the theatre, Signora Rodriguez sung the Spanish Patriotic National March, with words analogous to the day—the chorus was repeated by the whole house; the singer was loudly applauded, and a shower of gold [of British gold, sans date] fell on the stage at the feet of Senora Rodriguez, who must have made by it upwards of 2000 dollars. Some letters from Spain give a splendid account of the battle of Madalin.
We learn, by an arrival at Philadelphia, that the French in St. Domingo had offered to surrender to the English; and that a frigate had sailed to Jamaica, to settle the articles. If the island has not been supplied, we think it must have surrendered.
There is no truth in the dreadful reports of shocking insurrections of the blacks in Jamaica. Where negro slavery is allowed, "infatuated man will seek his liberty by violence;" and the exertion of the strong arm of the civil and military is necessary to subdue him.—The execution of a number of miserable in these attempts has given rise to the reports.
152 of the French exiles from Cuba, have arrived in Philad. in distress.
 CONGRESS. 
FROM WASHINGTON, JUNE 22.
"The reading of the report and papers on the contested election of Wm. Baylies was this day finished, and concluded with the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the election held in Plymouth district in November last, was legal and proper.
Resolved, That WILLIAM BAYLIES, is not entitled to a seat in this House.
Resolved, That CHARLES TRACY is entitled to a seat in this House.
The report was referred to a committee of the whole on Saturday next and ordered to be printed.
Commerce and Manufactures.—The Committee of Commerce and Manufactures have reported, that the interests of the country would be further promoted by the adoption of the following Resolutions:
"Resolved, That additional duties ought to be laid on the following articles imported into the United States, viz.
On ready made clothing and milinery two and one half per cent. ad valorem.
On cotton manufactures from beyond the Cape of Good Hope on bed ticking and on corduroys, and fustians two and one half per centum ad valorem—and on shot and other manufactures in which lead is the article of chief value, one half cent per pound.
Resolved, That a duty of eight cents per bushel on imported salt, would give encouragement to the manufacture of that article in the United States."
WASHINGTON CITY, JUNE 22. The two House of Congress yesterday concurred in a resolution to adjourn on Wednesday next.
Extract of a letter from a member of Congress, to the editor, dated Washington, June 15.
"It is reported that the cabinet is divided on the subject of the modification of our non-intercourse system.—That Mr. Gallatin and one of the new secretaries (but which I have not been able positively to learn) are of the opinion, that we ought to admit the ships of war of France and Great-Britain into our ports upon equal terms, or exclude them both.—That Mr. Secretary Smith and the other new secretary are of opinion, that faith, justice and sound policy require that we should exclude French and admit British ships, so long as the former power shall continue in force her iniquitous decrees. How far this report is correct, I cannot say; but I have heard it several times asserted and never denied. Of the president's opinion upon this subject, I am not informed. That the attempt to place the ships of war of the two belligerents upon an equal footing, if carried into effect at this time, will have a tendency to prevent a favorable termination of the expected negotiation between us and Great Britain, I think no man of reflection can doubt. For what shall Great-Britain relax her measures, and make sacrifices to accommodate us, if in return she sees us disposed to place her and her vindictive enemy and our enemy, almost upon the same footing? For as to the pretended non intercourse with France, it is more completely effected by Bonaparte's decrees than by our laws, and cannot therefore be considered by him as injurious. The proposed course must proceed from one of two causes, a confirmed malice against Great-Britain, or a fear of exciting the displeasure of France; neither of which are very honorable as moving principles in the representatives of the people of the United States."

NEW-ORLEANS, MAY 24.
Another Duel, was fought yesterday morning, by lieut. Charnle, late of the marine corps, and Dr. Heap, surgeon in the navy. Distance five yards. Each of them received a wound in the right thigh; but neither is supposed to be dangerous.
[A letter from New-Orleans, of late date, mentions that a duel had been fought near that place, between capt. Winfield Scott, of the U. S. Light Artillery, (formerly of this town) and Dr. Watkins, of New-Orleans. The affair terminated without injury to either party.]—Petersburg, Vir. pap.

FROM THE BALANCE.
Brief Notice of Mr. Adams's Correspondence of May 29th, 1809.
It is singular to see Mr. Adams at this time so sedulous concerning his political character, after its asher have been so many years in the urn, and he remained, only a silent, though no doubt, a sincere mourner. If there had been just cause, and he had attempted to snatch the brands from the fire, while they were yet burning, he assuredly would have been performing a natural and respectful duty to himself and family. But some are of opinion, that his efforts and savvings round both the late and present administration, are more with a view to his son's elevation, than to his own redemption; but, be this as it may, it is clear, that if he had conceived that his character could have withstood the shock of Hamilton's pamphlet, he would immediately have pressed forward with his artillery into action, to obtain his darling object—a re-election. When Mr. Adams was beheld, shrinking from the pen of Hamilton, with all the fascinating considerations of four years presidency before him, and his character as a statesman on the wreck, what did it speak? What credit or applause, does he now, after the lapse of years, expect to gain by coming forward to combat our departed hero? Is it a mark of a noble spirit, of honor, or valor, to attempt to tarnish the memory of the illustrious dead? Is it humane, or indicative of a good heart, to wound the feelings of the widow and her fatherless children? If such conduct will
add a new vein to the reputation of Mr. Adams, he need not "doubt" but he will have the full credit of it.
Mr. Adams makes assertions against the dead Mr. Hamilton, and refers to the dead Mr. Ames, and the dead Mr. Tracy, as evidence; he therefore clearly has made a "dead set." The public however, demand of him living witnesses, although his persecution is against the dead.
If the destination of providence had preserved the pen of Mr. Hamilton to this day, that of Mr. Adams would have remained silent and harmless (as to the subject under consideration) as though the same had never been plucked from the wing. Had he commenced hostilities upon the celebrity of the immortal Hamilton while he yet breathed the vital air, and could have defended himself, Mr. Adams would then have stood before the public, very different from what he now does.—But he takes advantage of a stroke of mortality as a parapet of protection, and no doubt fondly anticipates the acquisition of a vigilant twig to his decayed laurels.
Mr. Adams retrospects and toils thro' the mazes of science, to fasten reproach upon those, the bright effulgence of whose renown, has eclipsed him—let him go on, in his vertical career, it is his right, if he pleases, to forfeit the last and lowest vestige of title to that honorable fame which awaits the man who scorns to temporize.
I can now say, much in Mr. Adams's own style, that these remarks would never have been made, if he had not provoked them. His impeachment evidently carps upon Mr. Ames. Hamilton and Ames have left characters behind them, that are out of the reach of Mr. Adams. Their bodies have returned to their parent earth; but the lustre of their wide-spread fame will remain the admiration of ages, and be perpetuated by the annals of time and monumental glory.
FAUSTULUS
From the Newyork Spectator.
Non-Intercourse Law.—The last bill from the Senate goes to do away the most important feature in the Non-Intercourse Law, namely the exclusion of French ships of war from our ports. It seems this bill has passed the Senate unanimously, and in all probability will pass the lower house. In the debate in the House of Representatives on the 20th instant, Mr. Randolph made the following remarks in opposition to the bill:—
"This law appears to be a very flimsy coverl'd to our national nakedness. A proposition is made, lest obscurity should arise, to admit the armed ships of Great Britain and France, and to this I will give my negative. I understood the inhibition of last session was to repeal the outrages of the belligerents, tho' I confess I am no friend to attacking 74 gun ships with paper. France has still in force her edicts authorising the capture of our ships bound to or from England or even spoken to by a British man of war, and lest she should not have opportunities enough to pdate on us we will open our ports for her succor and extend to her the rights of hospitality, that after they recruit they may go out and will take our vessels at the very mouth of our harbours. Though I don't think a contrary conduct to this would ever keep out the Patriot, or other ships, yet I am unwilling to give them the right and title to enter. I wish to see when the relaxations on the part of France can authorize this relaxation on our part.—What does the 11th section of the non-intercourse law say? That when either power shall rescind her restrictions as they relate to us, we will rescind ours as they relate to her: this is now our situation: and it is proposed to change this situation by expressly admitting the ships of G. Britain and France into our ports and harbours; so that while the President of the U. States has very wisely and very properly changed the situation of relations between this country and G. Britain, we are to change it with respect to France so as to keep the balance even between both.—Suppose the first relaxation had come from France, and the president has suspended restrictions with respect to her, what would be said, if we would extend this relaxation to G. Britain to preserve a balance between the one who had and the one who had not come upon terms? I want to see the relaxation of France, and authorise our relaxation towards her; or why we should admit her armed ships and exclude her merchantmen. I must not be understood as wishing a war with France. I would as strongly oppose a measure of that kind as I did in '98, '99, 1800, and as I did last session a war with England; but situated as we are with respect to France, it will be highly improper to pass a law opening our ports to French vessels, when a week after our adjournment we may have accounts that the great Emperor taking umbrage at our acts, had declared war; and it is to hear some tidings from France by which to govern our deliberations that I am for a more protracted session, and not be put out of these walls before the 4th of July, to be taken possession of by strangers, to pollute them by their libations; I look upon this to be public property, and no one possessing a right to occupy it but by a vote of this house. I shall listen with pleasure to any gentleman who will show the necessity after all that passed last session, of the utility of this amendment at the present."

FROM THE REPERTORY.
Separation of the States. Our northern democratic papers seem to be guided by some influence, destined to prostrate every vestige of consequence and character the party possesses.
The conduct of government, therefore unless it is sold to the supposed conspirators, gives the lie to every suggestion of disaffection to the Union.

FOREIGN REPORTS.
THE foreign intelligence received since our last, comes in such a questionable shape as not to be entitled to full credit.

THIS maxim involves not only the principles of humanity, but those also of the soundest policy.
These characters now secretly curse Mr. Madison, for the just & independent course he is now pursuing to effect an amicable adjustment.
The ship Virginia was boarded by an officer from a British 74, who impressed three seamen!
On the appearance of the foregoing remark, the Captain of the Virginia gives the following statement:

Poetry.
MR. EDITOR, THIS beautiful little Scotch Ballad, from the pen of Mr. Hector M'Neal, will probably be acceptable to readers of taste. Its insertion will oblige an old acquaintance.—N. American.
THE WEE THING; OR MARY OF CASTLE CARY.
"Saw ye my wee thing? Saw ye mine ain thing? Saw ye my true love down on yon lea? Cross'd she the meadow Yestreen at the gleamin' ? Sought she the burnie, whar flow'rs the haw tree?  "Her hair it is lint white; Her skin it is milk white, Dark is the blue of her soft rolling ee, Red, red her ripe lips, And sweeter than roses— Whar could my wee thing wander fra me?"  "I saw na your wee thing, I saw na your ain thing, Nor saw I your true love down on yon lea; But I met my bonnie thing, Late in the gleamin', Down by the burnie whar flow'rs the haw tree.  "Her hair it was lint white, Her skin it was milk white, Dark was the blue of her soft rolling ee; Red was her ripe lips, And sweeter than roses; Sweet was the kisses which she gae to me.  "It was nae my wee thing, It was nae my ain thing, It was nae my true love ye saw by the tree; Proud is her heel heart, Modest her nature! She never lood any, till once she lood me.  "Her name it is Mary, She's fine Castle Cary; Aft has she sat when a bairn on my knee. Fair as your face is, Was't thy times faither, Young bragger, she ne'er would gie kisses to thee."  "It was then your Mary, She's fine Castle Cary, It was then your true love I met by the tree, Proud as her heart is, And modest her nature, Sweet was the kisses which she gae to me.  Sair gloom'd his dark brow, Blood red his cheek grew, Wild flash'd the fire frae his red rolling ee; "Ye're nae sair this morning, Your boasts and your scoring, Defend ye fause traitor, fu loudly ye lie.  "Awa wi' beguiling," Cried the youth, smiling,— Aft went the bonnet, the lint white locks free, The belted plaid fa'ing, Her white bosom shawing, Fair stood the loy'd maid wi' the dark rolling ee."  "Is it my wee thing? Is it mine ain thing? Is it my true love here that I see?" "O Jamie, forgive me; Your hearts' constant to me; I'll never, never mair wander, dear laddie, frae thee."
Late Donations.
Embargo Obsequies.
Mr. Ross, in one of his late speeches, seemed to express an opinion, that it would be well to regard the Embargo as dead and buried, and intimated that he was not a mourner at the funeral. Mr. R. sometimes speaks and votes very right, and sometimes very wrong. It would require a very deep philosopher to read Mr. Ross over, and determine what his politics in reality are. At any rate, it would not have been unfortunate for the fame of that gentleman, if he had been content to consider the "hot-water insurrection" as dead and buried, as well as the Embargo. [Freeman's Journal.]
LOCUSTS. —At Nazareth, in Northampton county, Pennsylvania, the Locusts have made their appearance in great numbers. The Garden that is so beautifully ornamented with trees, shrubbery, flowers, &c., is so full of them that persons can scarcely hear each other speak; the walls are perforated with thousands of holes; and they bid fair to be very destructive.
Count Rumford has recently married the widow of M. Vereesy, in Paris; by which nuptial experiment he obtained a fortune of 3000 per annum.—This is evidently the most effective of all the Rumfordizing projects for keeping a house warm.
POETRY WITH A PRESENT. —An English Baronet eminent for his taste in Poetry, once sent a print of the Duchess of York's shoes to the daughter of a new made Peer with the following diletanti: "Madam, myself with all the Muses, Beds your acceptance of a pair of shoes."
TOAST.
The Embargo—Began in sin, conceived in iniquity, brought forth in trouble, & smothered in the cradle of tyranny by the friends of liberty.
SCIENCE OF LEGISLATION.
PROPOSALS By DANIEL JOHNSON, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE SCIENCE OF LEGISLATION: TRANSLATED FROM THE ITALIAN OF GAETANO FILANGIERI, By RICHARD CLAYTON.
The Science of Legislation—A work singular in itself, has been celebrated throughout Europe—and every judge of literary merit will rank its author with the greatest political writers that have appeared. The Translation, say the English Literary Reviewers, is fair and polished, fluent and graceful, easy and elegant—and resembles those portraits of the good painters, which preserve a striking likeness, yet embellished by every imperceptible variation from the original contour.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
The Science of Legislation shall be printed in two octavo volumes, from the late London Edition, and delivered to subscribers at four Dollars in Board, or at four dollars and fifty cents, in law binding.
Subscriptions will be received for the above work, at the PORTLAND BOOK-STORE, No. 5, Mufley's Row; where it is just received, and for sale, on more liberal terms than has been offered in the State, the following very valuable BOOKS, to which very considerable additions will be made in a short time, and the assortment increased, and made extensive, as the demand may increase.

A celebrated Novel, entitled Thaddeus of Warsaw , by Miss Porter. This work has gone through five English editions, and the following are but a small part of the recommendations of the Reviewers. "Thaddeus is a work of genius, and has nothing to fear at the candid bar of taste; he has to receive the precious meed of sympathy from every reader of unperplexed sentiment and genuine feeling."—Imperial Review. "This work has more merit than can be ascribed to the crowd of productions of this class, and inculcates virtuous and magnanimous sentiments."—Monthly Review. "The morality of the piece is, as we naturally expected from a writer, whose heart and mind, are the seats of every virtue, wholly unobjectionable."—Anti-Jacobin Review.
Caine's Reports of cases argued and determined in the Supreme Court of the State of New-York, 3 vols. royal 8vo. To supersede the necessity of recurring to foreign decisions, on points arising under our own laws, was an object of primary consideration in the commencement of these Reports. The undertaking having met with a flattering approbation, and the work being now carried on under the sanction of a regular appointment authorized by the State, the Reporter feels it his duty to endeavor to render the
publication deserving the patronage it has received. With this view, a new paper and type have been procured, that the volumes of the New-York Term Reports may correspond in elegance, as well as in form, with those of Durnford and East, and as the utility of the work has been confessed, it is hoped, that in its execution it will gratify the wishes of the public. Its use, it may be imagined, will be but local. But when, the variety of important commercial questions agitated in the state of New-York, are considered—when the abilities of the Bar, and the talents of the Bench, of its Supreme Court, are taken into view, it must be confessed, that its adjudications must carry with them great influence and authority, wherever they may be known, as the result of accurate investigation and profound learning.
Decisions thus framed, must naturally claim attention, wherever the principles of the common law are acknowledged, and the spirit of trade is found to exist.
The determinations, therefore, of the Judges of the State of New-York, will aid the researches of Counsel in every part of the Union, as much as the English Reports, which in some points are certainly incongruous with the spirit of our republican government.
Caine's Reports are now complete in 3 vols. The cases in the Supreme Court are at present reported by William Johnson, Esq. who has commenced a New Series. Three volumes are now ready for sale.
COMMENTS on Contracts will be for sale in a few days. Portland, June 26.
