FOR THE GAZETTE.
AS the love of country is natural to every man it is no unpleasing speculation to consider the variety of ways in which it operates in different parts of the world, according to the different temperatures of the climate, or genius of the inhabitants. Sometimes it breaks out in a kind of ferocity, and distrust of strangers; at others it assumes a milder aspect, and is very profuse in its invitations to foreigners to partake of the benefits of the state by naturalization. In some countries the least befriended by nature, this passion rises to a more enthusiastic height than in others that lie under the influences of a more indulgent sky. Even those nations that live under the most disadvantageous forms of government, watch over the few privileges they enjoy with so jealous an eye, that they take the alarm at the least appearance of any encroachment. The Swiss are so remarkable for an attachment to their country, that, when detained abroad, they are seized with the Himweil , or what the French call the distemper of the country , which would prove fatal to them unless they had the liberty of returning home. The following letter to a physician in Switzerland, from a native of that country, for many years resident in B*****e, give a natural picture of the prejudices of a foreigner, who is assiduous to detect any foible in the inhabitants of other climates, which bears some analogy and resemblance to those he has heard remarked in his own countrymen. How far the sentiments contained in this letter are true, we leave to the discernment and good judgment of the public to determine.
"DEAR SIR,
"The indisposition which has hung upon me ever since my arrival in this part of the globe, has denied me several opportunities of fulfilling the manners and customs of the Americans with the attention I could have wished. To supply in some measure the want of better information, I have entertained myself with the perusal of the public prints, which, for some time past have turned entirely upon political affairs; and I must confess it is no small consolation to me to find that the Swiss are not, as I generally imagined, the only people in the world whose concern for their country turns to a disease. This passion operates with such violence among the Americans, that it often transports them into a kind of political phrensy; the principal characteristic of which, is a perpetual inquietude, which at the same time that it deprives the patient of rest, wonderfully disposes him to disturb that of other people. When this malady spreads among the populace, it displays itself in mock processions and exhibitions of the most worthy characters in effigy; windows are broken, and houses demolished for the public good. Among the higher classes, groundless inventions against government, pamphlets filled with the most incoherent ideas, conveyed in a style equally extravagant, are certain indications that the distemper rages with equal violence, though it appears in a less formidable shape. I shall only mention a symptom or two more, which you will doubtless think extremely singular. Could you conceive that a patient of yours, who had a nervous fever, should be so unreasonably as to entertain the most inveterate malice against his neighbor, & if he happened to have one that was inimical? Yet this is the case with the American valentinians in politics. The distinction of Federalist and Jacobin, as far as I can discover, is nothing else but an invention of the natives, to denote the different effects produced by this distemper in different constitutions; yet so far is this circumstance from creating the sympathy that might be expected between persons laboring under the same disease, that they can scarce be brought to consider each other as of the same species. Another remarkable peculiarity is, that whereas the hydrophobia in other kinds of madness is deemed a certain sign that the patient is beyond recovery, the dread of a halter has been known to operate surprisingly towards a cure of this disorder, in its most malignant state; and is accordingly considered by the learned as a sure prognostic of its tendency towards a happy crisis. I am almost afraid, that by this time you will begin to look upon me as a true traveller and after the wonderful description of the symptoms of this disorder, will doubtless expect I should prefer my character by giving you as marvellous an account of the methods employed in this country for the removal of it.
"The first remedy usually prescribed upon these occasions is change of situation. This is sometimes performed by placing the patient on a wooden eminence to which he is attended by some public officer. His neck being surrounded with a hempen cord, provided for that purpose, he is exposed to the view of the companions of liberty, who need little admonition to exert their best endeavors for his recovery by pelting him with all the rubbish the streets can afford. It happened more than once during my residence in B*****e, that the populace being infected themselves, have not only declined administering the dose with the requisite severity but have flattered the patient in his distemper with all manner of encouragement. Other alternatives have therefore been tried, and an office has been of prodigious efficacy in allaying these ferment in the blood. There is an instance of this in a certain patriot, whose extraordinary case some time ago excited the public attention. Never were symptoms so variable. The poor gentleman was at first seized with an antipathy to every thing out of his own country. The very mention of foreign connections, almost threw him into convulsions. These it was hoped would be effectually removed by his advancement to an eminent office in the state. But alas! His disorder returned with greater violence than ever, though in a different
shape. He lavished money with unaccountable profusion in support of those very connections he had before so strenuously opposed. Intoxicated still more, however, by a series of successes, he was upon the point of assuming the sole management of affairs, and it is uncertain to what lengths the ruling passion might have transported him, had not a trial, instituted at a well judged crisis, given a check to the progress of the distemper. But some signs of a relapse occasionally appearing, the adepts in this disease have lately prevailed upon him to remove himself into another country which has generally been found a sovereign cure for political inflammations.
"But effectual as this remedy has frequently proved, it does not operate with equal success on every constitution. The treatment of this disease in America, is just the reverse of that made use of for the recovery of our countrymen. The Heimweil is relieved by a return to our native country; the American politomania , by banishment from it." NIODOB.
"This is supposed to refer to our late Quixotic Vice-President."
Interesting Political Miscellany.
Text.—"Mr. JEFFERSON, the author of that sacred instrument, the declaration of independence; the friend of Franklin and Washington; the able defender of our rights and republican institutions, and who really has the confidence of more freemen than any man America ever knew," &c.
[Rutland Herald.]
Comment.—"Jefferson the author of the declaration of independence," is he? I have heard, and believe the information to be correct, that that instrument as finally adopted was not the work of one person. Several draughts were offered by different members of the committee, and neither accepted as written.
2d. "The friend of Washington," Was it friendship that induced Jefferson, in the National Gazette , to commence an indiscriminate attack on Gen. Washington's administration, & to publish, and continue the publication of the vilest calumnies against his fair fame and good name? Was it friendship , that drew from his pockets 50 dollars, as a reward to the infamous Calender, for a proof-sheet of the " Prospect Before Us ;" in which the vocabulary of billingsgate was ransacked for abusive epithets to heap upon the " father of his country ," and in which he was called a " legalizer of corruption ?" Was it friendship that induced the giver of these 50 dollars, to promise 50 more to Callender when he finished his work? If these, and many similar acts of Jefferson's are proof of his friendship for Gen. Washington, I've done; and if these were not his friendly acts, I really wish the Herald man, or any of his compeers in democracy, would point them out. I had hoped that no American citizen could be found, possessing hardihood enough to assert that Jefferson was the friend of Washington; but have been disappointed. Democracy will stop at nothing to carry her ends.
3d. " Able Defender of our Rights ." This is the first time I ever heard that Jefferson had defended our rights. To be sure, it is recorded that during the revolutionary war he resigned his post of commander in chief of the Virginia Militia, at the moment of an invasion, and retired to Carter's Mountain; but I had no idea that that was defending our rights! The rights of the mountain or of the cave within it he might have defended, although I never heard of it. Still, I should think the author would have come nearer the truth had he said, "Jefferson, the able deserter of our rights;" for there can be no manner of doubt but he ably deserted, in times the most trying to "men's souls."
4. He "has the confidence of more freemen, than any man America ever knew!" Freemen of America! what think you of this? Has Jefferson more of your confidence than your beloved Washington had? No.—I hear you indignantly respond—it is a vile calumny, raised to exalt the writer of the letter to Mazzei, at his expense. No; Jefferson has not the confidence of even
a majority of the American Freemen. His measures have brought ruin and distress to our very thresholds. He ought not to have the confidence of any man; and it is a base slander to say he has, of many, at this day.
It ill accords with friendship, to drag a man, whose "mental faculties are impaired" as much as Jefferson says his are, from his "dignified retirement," before the publick, at this time. He has "passed away," and ought not to be disturbed by his friends, lest he should be too roughly handled for his feeble constitution to bear.

More of the Americans in France.
We cannot too often call the attention of our readers to the wretched situation of their fellow-citizens, who are dragging out a miserable existence in French prisons, where they are immured as prisoners of war by the tyranny and cruelty of Mr. Jefferson's very good friend and dear ally, Bonaparte. For the honor of the American government we will hope these men are not sacrificed to motives of national policy, but there is something mysterious in their being neglected so long. Every democratic paper is as silent as the grave respecting the injuries which are daily exercised towards the citizens of the U. States by these marauders; while every circumstance of misconduct on the part of England, is exaggerated and misrepresented in every possible manner.—Until this procedure is corrected we must expect to be involved in continual broils and alterations with the powers of Europe. Let the American government pursue independent and energetic measures, and the people will not hesitate to yield their undivided support.—Ed. Gaz.

The Battle of the Danube.—Among all the bloody days which Bonaparte has added to the calendar of slaughter, the 21st and 22d of May, will appear the most sanguine. Of all the battles of modern times, that of the Danube will stand pre-eminent. Napoleon, who for many years has carried conquest in his front, while death and destruction brought up his rear, has at last found a warrior able to arrest him in his course. Like the destructive hurricane, the mad Corsican swept with irresistible impetuosity over kingdoms and states, laying waste every thing in his way, until the Austrian armies breasted him in his career, and as the Andes arrests the whirlwind, made a barrier over which he could not pass. He met this impenetrable phalanx with his accustomed fury, and dreadful has been the shock! The concussion was terrible beyond description. More than fifty thousand men bit the dust. Upstart princes, dukes and lords were hurled from their elevations, mingled with plebians, and swept from the face of the earth. Human nature shudders in contemplating the carnage which must have taken place. One hundred thousand men prostrate and bleeding on the field of battle! The idea is terrible! But it was necessary. The tyrant must have a check or the world be enslaved. And the Austrian who was in the battle, and who survives,
"Will stand a tiptoe when the day is nam'd And rouse him at the name of Ebersdorff He that liv'd through those days, and fees "old age,
"Will yearly on the vigils feast his neighbour "And say, to-morrow is the 21st of May!
"Then will he strip his sleeve and shew his "scars:
"Old men forget; yet shall not all forget, "But they'll remember, with advantage
"What feats they did that day."

FROM A LONDON PAPER.
Schill has published an excellent proclamation to the Germans, and we have been told that the following letters have passed between him and Bonaparte.
The emperor Napoleon to Schill.
"Rascal— "If you and your banditti do not immediately lay down your arms, no hopes of mercy remain for you; and my irresistible arm shall crush you to the dust.
"BONAPARTE."
Schill, the colonel, to Bonaparte.
"Brother— "When you shall have restored the territory and treasure of which you have robbed the king my master, then will I lay down my arms and not before.
"Yours, my brother, SCHILL."
Patritism run mad.—The Baltimore Whig gravely and earnestly propotes that the people should "associate together in every town and township in the United States, and resolve to wear no article of English manufacture, so long as the English deny us justice." This however, is coming down a little, for the same paper, some time ago proposed that the resolution should extend through life; no man was to wear any article of English manufacture during life; but he might drink French wines till his belly ached. This plan of shewing our spite against Great Britain by wearing during life cloathing both dearer and poorer than we can purchase from her, cannot sufficiently command the admiration of the good people of the United States. As a full further improvement in patriotick enmity to Great Britain, I would propose that hereafter no real democrat should speak the English language. Many will object that this has been already sufficiently anticipated and by a very considerable number of distinguished leaders among them, at the head of whom stands the great Snyder; but what I mean is that they should substitute the French or creole tongue.
[New York Herald.]
The following curious article is copied from the London Morning Chronicle of June 19th.
On Saturday a report prevailed in the City on the authority of a Dutch Captain, arrived at Harwich, that the Queen of Holland had eloped from her husband, and gone to Germany to her brother-in-law and father-in-law, Napoleon, by whom, it is added, she is pregnant.
The N. York papers contain affidavits relative to a shameful piece of fraud recently attempted to be put in practice on the underwriters in that city:—Mr. Wm. Brownjohn of New-York, merchant, owner of sloop Union, is charged with endeavoring to prevail on the captain, &c. by bribes to put to sea and scuttle the sloop, &c. The cargo found on board the sloop by the wardens of the port, on opening the hatches, &c. and not exactly in conformity to the bills of lading, consisted of "16 tierces and 7 bbls beans, 29 bbls rotten potatoes, and the remainder was made up with 180 empty bbls and the ground tier consisted entirely of bbls. filled with stones."—This attempt to defraud, was something on the Southack plan.
Extracts from the Freeman's Journal.
The Cornucopia.
We have been for some time wondering what would be the next name of a newspaper. Almost all appellations that seem appropriate both pompous and humble, have been exhausted, from the Sun and the Eagle to the Watch Light and the Dove. We are now presented, from Batavia, in the interior of New-York, with the CORNUCOPIA. We regret to be obliged to remark that this Horn of Domestic Plenty is, as some of the democrats say of the President a Green Horn.
New Names of Rivers.
It appears by the Journal of Patrick Gaff, one of the Wanderers of the West with Lewis and Clark, that at the points where the Missouri becomes divided into three small streams, they were named, JEFFERSON, MADISON, and GALLATIN. Several still smaller streams in the vicinity were called, Philopps, Philanthropy, and Wisdom. The Editors of the Boston Anthology remark that if the discovery had been a little later, the stream between "Jefferson" and "Wisdom" would have been called Embargo!
Life for Sale.
A merchant at the northward is continually advertising for Sale large quantities of the "Real Staff of Life." Upon a little sign at the window of one of the shops in one of the suburbs of this city, we read, "The Life of Man for Sale here, also Oysters and Crackers." Those who purchase the first article will probably think the two last superfluous.
Armies upon Skates!
The conductors of that voluminous London publication, the Literary Panorama, speaking of travelling on skates, say—"A remarkable employment of this mode of travelling, is the military expeditions performed on the lakes in Canada. It would be thought in England a rare spectacle to see a regiment of soldiers skating in military array; yet this has often been done on Lake Superior, at the rate of about sixty miles per day." When did this take place? To what nation did the troops belong? Against what enemy were they marching? Tell us, ye Gants of Geography and History, and ye shall be (to us) the GREAT APOLLO!
French Freedom.
The Emperor Bonaparte, in his Proclamation to the Hungarians, tells them that if they will abandon the for ones of the falling House of Austria, and attach themselves to its imperial and triumphant standard, he will make them a FREE PEOPLE. But what security would they have that he would not immediately enslave them over, as he did the miserable Poles, to the new born King of Saxony, or even to that princely paragon of Genius, Bravery, and Humanity, the illustrious Jerome Napoleon of Westphalia?
APOSTROPHE TO IDLENESS.
Idleness, thou bane of every estimable quality, thou pandar to every vice! In what colours of infamy oughtest thou to be painted, & how dangerous is it to indulge thy cares! Beneath thy enervating blandishments every corruption springs up, and every virtue is obscured. It is thou that snickest the love of honorable performance in the bed of ignominious ease. It is thou that holdst out the oblivious draught of what duty calls to perform; and when once thy cup is tasted to intoxication, farewell every hope of fame, farewell every with for distinction. Bound in thy fetters, talents, whether natural or acquired, are useless; and even the brightest virtues become tained by folly, or contaminated by perverse passion. I have seen the proud lords of nature stoop to thy bewitching, till they encountered the very earth on which they dwelt, and only lived to disgrace themselves, and to be a burden to the community.
COMPLACENCY.
Among the many advantages arising from cultivated sentiment, one of the first and most truly valuable, is that delicate compacency of mind, which leads us to consult the feelings of those with whom we live, by shewing a disposition to gratify them, as far as in our power, and by avoiding whatever has a contrary tendency. They must, indeed, have attended little to what passes in the world, who do not know the importance of this disposition; who have not observed that the want of it often portions the domestic happiness of families, whose felicity every other circumstance concurs to promote.

Foreign Intelligence.
Battle of May 21 and 22.
So successful has the Emperor of France uniformly been in his wars upon the continent of Europe, that many seem to have entertained an idea that he was invulnerable; but the result of the battle of the 21st and 22nd of May, betwixt the French army commanded by Bonaparte in person, and the Austrians under the command of the Archduke Charles, contradicts the opinion. The following particulars of this action fully prove that both the Austrian Officers and Soldiers are equal to the French in the science and practice of fighting. Though several accounts of the battles of Essling have been published the following one will not be uninteresting.— Ed. Gaz.
BRIETENLEE, MAY 23.
The French army commanded by the Emperor Napoleon in person, has been totally beaten on the 21st & 22nd of this month, at Aspern and Essling, by the Austrian army commanded by the Archduke Charles. Several days before the two sanguinary days, the French army had prepared a grand attack, by movements and demonstrations upon a line of 6 or 8 leagues opposite Vienna, above & below that city. The Archduke, who, on the 16th and 17th of May, had collected and concentrated the columns of his army in a line parallel with the left bank, was eager only to second the ardour of his troops to come in contact with the enemy, and to take their revenge for the battles of the 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd of April. The opportunity was afforded them on the 20th.
The Emperor Napoleon evinced a determination to pass the Danube by a bridge, whose right was upon Lobau, an isle of the Danube, 2 leagues long and 3/4ths wide. It is below Vienna, and about a league and a half distant by the right bank, and 3 leagues by the left; the Danube making an arm, whose angles, both inside and outside, served for a support to the development of the French army. The Archduke did not attempt to oppose the passage. The French troops had already debouched, and who took part in the battle of the 21st, consisted chiefly of three divisions, General Lagrand's, St. Cyr's and Montoy's, and a strong body of cavalry. It was thought at first by the movements of the French army, that it wished to push its line upon the village of Aspern, on its left, and on the village of Essling, a little more advanced, on its right.
The two armies began the battle about 4 P. M. on the 21st—and after the most obstinate resistance the French army was dislodged and driven back to the Danube, with the exception of the extremity of the wood on the bank, where they continued to maintain themselves. The firing had lasted without interruption till 11 at night, and night alone prevented us from clearing the banks of the Danube.
On the 22nd, at 4 P. M. the attack recommenced. In the mean time the Emperor Napoleon had brought all his army both upon the Lobau and in front of the Danube, and it resumed the same lines as on the preceding day. His force was on that day about 80,000. Besides the French corps, he had brought over part of the Bavarians, and the Baden and Hesse Darmstadt contingents. A part of his guards and all his cuirassiers and heavy cavalry were in the field.
The Emperor Napoleon had proceeded to the left bank of the Danube, & directed all the movements of his army. At first the latter had some advantage, and regained the ground it had occupied the day before. The Emperor thought the decisive moment was come, and ordered his cavalry to charge and support the infantry, which had reinforced itself in Essling and had again taken post at Aspern; but the repeated charges of the cavalry could not pierce our centre. Here Prince John de Liechtenstein commanded, to whom the victory is in a great measure to be attributed.
The Austrian infantry who, on this brilliant day performed prodigies of valour, formed quickly en masse and sustained all the shocks of the cavalry without suffering themselves to be penetrated. The admirable fire of our artillery soon thinned the ranks of the cavalry. In fine, our reserve of grenadiers was put in motion to retake Aspern for the last time, which in the space of 24 hours, had been taken and retaken ten times; and to
carry Essling, where every house had, as it were, been taken by storm.
The stoutest resistance was at a large building at Essling, which had been a magazine for corn, and which by its thickness was proof against bullets, and the fire of the artillery. All the French who were in Aspern and Essling, perished either in the attack or in the flames that consumed entirely these two places. The streets as well as the road that communicates from one to the other were choked with cuirassiers, their arms, and horses. Our infantry had at length made itself master of these two principal posts, and overthrew every thing that was opposed to it. The enemy, therefore, perceiving that his communication with the Danube was threatened, hastened his retreat. At four in the afternoon he was repulsed at all points, and in the evening he recrossed to the Lobau, leaving on the field of battle a great number of dead and wounded, cannon, an infinity of cutlasses and muskets.
Since the night of the 22nd, our army has encamped on the field of battle, which extends along the Danube. The greater part of the prisoners we have made are cavalry and light infantry. General Durosel, First Equerry, and Governor of the Pages of the Emperor Napoleon, doing the duty of one of his Aides-de-Camps in the battle, was taken on the 22nd, at five in the morning, at the moment he had taken an order to the French cavalry to advance: he was immediately surrounded by the dragoons of the regiment of Rieffel.—General Foulet Royer, First Equerry of the Empress, was wounded and taken on the 21st.
General de Roder, in the service of the King of Wirtemberg, was taken on the 20th at Husdorf, by the 2d battalion of Landwehr of Vienna. The three Generals have been sent to Brunn. Among the wounded who are in our hands, and who were taken on the second day, there are a great number of officers of the cuirassiers, several of whom are of the Etat Major. They are of the regiments of the army who have most suffered on the 21st and 22nd, and from the reports of the prisoners, they are reduced to below a third of their number.
All our attacks have been conducted and executed with that brilliant valour & that cold intrepidity which laughs at danger and triumphs over every obstacle. From the General to the private, every body did more than his duty and there were as many brave men as there were combatants. Our loss is great both in killed and wounded. That of the enemy, if we may judge from the field of battle, must have been immense.
DRESDEN, JUNE 12.
Yesterday morning, an Austrian corps from 8 to 10,000 men strong, arrived here very unexpectedly from Bohemia, after it had previously fallen in, a few miles from this capital, with a Saxon corps, commanded by Colonel Thilerman, Adjutant-General to his Majesty the King of Saxony. The officer marched from hence with about 3000 men, the whole of our disposable force, as soon as he received advice of the Austrians having made their appearance on the frontiers of Saxony to reconnoitre their strength. Deceived by a treacherous spy, who reported the Austrians to be only 600 strong, he advanced too far, and found his corps on a sudden on all sides surrounded by the enemy, and was at length obliged to yield to the enemy's vast superiority in numbers, after the most gallant resistance. The brave Colonel Thilerman fortunately escaped with some hundred horses and carried the unpleasing intelligence to Leipzig where the Court then resided. Immediately after the Austrians had occupied this place, their van put itself in motion on its march to Leipzig, and was last night followed by the whole corps, with the sole exception of the regiment of Erbach, which forms at present the garrison of this town. The Austrians kept the strictest discipline, and all the Royal buildings are provided with safe-guards.
[Extract from the 22nd French Bulletin.]
Two battalions of landwehr, two squadrons of Hulan and a battalion of troops of the line, forming together 2500 men, have entered Bayreuth. They have, as usual, issued forth proclamations, and endeavoured to excite insurrection. At the same
time Gen. Amende entered Dresden with three battalions of the line, three battalions of landwehr, a confused collection of men raised by the Duke of Brunswick, and some squadrons of cavalry drawn from different corps, the whole amounting to 7 or 8000 men.
The King of Westphalia assembled the 10th corps, and has taken the field. The Duke of Valmy (Killer-man) has put in motion, from Hanau, the advanced guard of the army of reserve which he commands.]
ROME, JUNE 10.
This morning, at ten o'clock, the following Imperial Decree, dated Vienna, the 17th of May, 1809, was proclaimed in all the public squares and market-places of the city, accompanied by the firing of cannon from the Castle of St. Angelo.
"Napoleon, Emperor of the French, &c. taking into consideration that when Charlemagne, Emperor of the French, and our sublime predecessor, endowed the Bishops of Rome with various lands, they were given as fiefs to maintain the peace of his subjects, and that Rome did not therefore cease to form a part of his Empire; considering further, that since that time the union of spiritual and temporal power has been, and still is, the source of dissension; that the Popes have but too frequently availed themselves of the one to support their pretensions to the other; and that with spiritual concerns, which are in their nature immutable, have been confounded worldly affairs, which change with the circumstances and politics of the times.
"Considering finally, that it is vain to attempt to reconcile with the temporal pretensions of the Pope all that we have concerted for the security of our army, the repose and prosperity of the nations over which we reign, and the dignity and inviolability of our empire—
"We have decreed, and do decree as follows:
 "Art. 1. The Papal territory is united with the French Empire.  "2. The city of Rome, illustrious for the recollections it recalls, and for the monuments which it contains, is declared to be a free city. Its government and administration shall be fixed by a particular decree.  "3. The monuments of Roman greatness shall be maintained and preserved at the expence of our treasury.  "4. The public debt is declared to be the debt of the empire.  "5. The revenue of the Pope shall be fixed at two millions of francs, free from all charges and contributions.  "6. The property and places of his Holiness shall be subject to no imposition, jurisdiction or visitation, and shall besides enjoy especial prerogatives.  "7. An extraordinary Consulta shall, on the 1st of June, take possession in our name, of the Papal dominions, and adopt measures that on the 1st of January, 1810, the Constitutional Government takes effect.

PARIS, JUNE 20, 1809.
RUSSLIN WAR MANIFESTO.
The Prince Serge Galitzia, commander in Chief of the Russian army, has issued a Proclamation from his H. Q. dated 19th May, 1809, announcing that Russia could not look with an indifferent eye on the war between France & Austria; that the Prince Poniatowski had made himself master of Brody [the frontier town of Austrian Galicia next to Russia, and about 400 miles N. E. Vienna]; that Austria had been made acquainted, that Russia would act conjointly with France; and that notwithstanding, having lighted the torch of war, Russia had broken the ties which united her to Austria, and had ordered her army to approach Galicia. The rest of the Proclamation announces to the peaceable people of Galicia, that their persons and property shall be secured.

New Cause of Death.
A very sober biographer of the late THOMAS HOLCROFT, in a London publication, solemnly and sagely remarks that he died because he could live no longer!— Freeman's Journal.
From the United States Gazette.
A friend has favoured us with the following extract of a letter from an American gentleman who came passenger from France to New-York in the Mentor .
From the Syren's departure to the 9th July, the day the Mentor sailed, nothing remarkable took place relative to our relations with France, though letters from well informed bankers of Paris stated, that the governor of that country, appeared to be more inclined to come to an arrangement with the United States, and that some interviews had in consequence taken place between the French minister and Gen. Armstrong. This conciliatory spirit ( if sincera ) was rather on the part of the ministers, who are opposed to the measures latterly pursued, than on that of the emperor.
In the event of an arrangement, which I much doubt, taking place, it was thought that our vessels would at first be only allowed to import into France and the countries under her controul the products of our own soil.
The news carried out by the Syren of the accommodation with England, which ought to have occasioned a great sensation, did not produce any, because information of the refusal of the English to ratify the proceedings of their minister reached France at the same time. An English armament was stated by private letters to have arrived in the river Weser and landed a body of troops. The Emperor Napoleon was still at Vienna and did not advance. It was said the Austrians had been greatly reinforced from the other side of the Danube, and advantageously posted, and that he feared to attack them till he received reinforcements, though his army was still immense, notwithstanding the severe losses he had sustained.
Russia had not yet taken any active part in the war—she appeared to have three armies ready to take the part of the strongest, and in the mean time contented herself, with fighting against Sweden and Turkey. These circumstances, and the raising the prohibition, which existed to the importation of colonial produce from Holland into France, naturally produced a great stagnation in the markets of the latter country.
NEW-YORK, AUG. 4.
The following is a letter from Washington, to the Editor of the New-York Public Advertiser , a violent democratic paper.
"Washington, July 31, 1809.
"The Secretary of State has applied to the President to know how Mr. Jackson was to be received, and when? Whether he would return to the seat of government soon for that purpose, and enquired generally how the subject is to be treated. The general expectation was, that he would immediately return to this city to receive Jackson; but he has answered explicitly, and without reserve, that he does not mean to return before about the close of September, which was the originally intended period of his absence, and will then receive the minister and his communications." The reason is obvious—the tenth Congress have left him nothing to do.
"The Secretary of the Treasury contemplated a visit to Mr. Madison, but the late news detained him in expectation of the latter's immediate arrival. The President now, however, writes him that he holds him to his engagement, and looks for him next week in Virginia.
"The Secretary of State will wait until Jackson's arrival, to make his usual excursion to Baltimore! The Secretary of the Navy is going to the Southward! Thus you may suppose Mr. Jackson's negotiation will progress rapidly!
"Not the public feeling, but the public sentiment, is much suspended here. No one ventures to give any specific opinion. In fact, the state of things is so unexpected and embarrassing, that the soundest politicians appear as yet, to have no digested system in their minds."
From the Public Advertiser
Mr. Erskine's arrangement is disavowed—Many speculations are afloat at the seat of government, in relation to this business—Some suspect Erskine of a co-operation in consequence of a secret understanding with Canning. Others that he was completely overpowered and vanquished in the negotiation. Some that he has conformed to his instructions either formal or informal—Others that he has exceeded them, either from a motive of justice, or a supposed necessity of the case and conviction that he would, ultimately stand justified by his nation; or else, from a dishonorable motive of gaining from us the most important advantages by meretricious means, let the result be what it would in other respects.
Mr. Erskine absolutely acknowledges that the copy of his instructions published in England is correct! Is he then a dunce; or is there something more
behind the curtain? He says also, "that his Father has lately written him, "that all his friends in ENGLAND are highly satisfied with what he has done here!"
Portland,
Monday, August 14, 1809.
FOREIGN.
The latest intelligence from England, is to June 28, and that from France, to July 6. No event of great importance had taken place of late.
In England, a powerful expedition is fitting out, destined, it is said, for the coast of Spain and Holland. Earl Mörta commands the military, and Sir Home Popham the naval forces.
Bonaparte has remained inactive nearly forty days, and is, with his army, in the city of Vienna, waiting the arrival of a Russian army, which was on its march to join him, and which had reached Galitzia in three divisions. On the junction of these troops with other forces which were concentrating with the French grand army, Bonaparte expects to be able to destroy the Austrian army under the Archduke Charles.
On the 13th of June an action was fought near Raab between the Austrians and French; the former under the command of the Archduke John, and the latter commanded by Prince Eugene. The Austrians were defeated with the loss of 2000 men, 6 pieces of artillery, and 5 stand of colours.
The Russian government have issued a new Ukase, similar to Bonaparte's decrees, by which all intercourse with England is prohibited.
The Danes continue to capture American vessels.
The Duke of Sudermania has been proclaimed king of Sweden, by the title of Charles XIII.
America & France.
The last accounts from France inform, that a Mr. Hautval has been appointed to treat with Gen. Armstrong on a settlement of the differences between the U. States and France. It is stated that Hautval is one of the X. Y. Z. gentry of "beaucoup de l'argent" memory, who made a conspicuous figure in the negotiation with Messrs. Marshall, Gerry, and Pinkney, during the presidency of Mr. Adams, when a doeur of fifty thousand dollars was demanded before Bonaparte would consent to open a conference.
We have, however, but little confidence that any thing serious is intended on the part of the French government, whilst they detain our citizens as prisoners of war, and continue to capture and condemn American vessels and cargoes. The cause of this sham or mock show at negotiation, is probably owing to the disavowal of the British ministry of the arrangements entered into with Mr. Erskine, and the ill success of the French arms in Germany. But what signifies terms of accommodation with the unprincipled, unjust, and perfidious Bonaparte, who makes no scruple to break and violate the most solemn treaties whenever it may suit his convenience, or aid his mad projects of ambition? Witness his most faithless, dishonorable, and flagrant violation of the treaty which he sanctioned with the government of the United States, (and by which, but for his unexampled perfidy American citizens and American property might now traverse the ocean secure from, and unmolested by his piratical cruizers) and then disannulled it at pleasure, notwithstanding the immense sacrifices and concessions submitted to by the American government to obtain that treaty.
United States and England.
The question is frequently asked, what will be the result of the non-agreement of the British government to the assurances of Mr. Erskine? Some, nay, all the democratic party, cry out, we must and shall have war. The propriety or necessity of this measure we are not yet convinced of. Let this fact be kept in view. Neither Mr. Erskine, the Executive of the U. States, nor any one of those in the secrets of our Cabinet have denied the authority of Mr. Erskine's Instructions, as stated by the English minister, Mr. Canning. Suppose then, the relations between the two countries to be the same they were before Mr. Erskine commenced his correspondence. We have no more cause of war now, than we had last winter. The idea that Mr. Erskine's arrangement was a mere trick, as some would represent it, is too absurd to merit a moment's consideration. If the British government had been disposed to capture American vessels, why did they issue an order to council to respect the agreement entered into by Mr. Erskine till it could be known in the United States that he had exceeded his powers?—We are far from possessing a disposition to justify any unjust acts of the British Ministry. The citizens of the United States have real grievances enough to complain of from the officers of foreign powers, without dwelling upon those which arise from the misunderstanding of ministers.
France and Spain.
The Spanish patriots have recaptured St.

Anders from the French; and their army, consisting of 25,000, were in Estremadura, 150 miles from Cadiz, but no fears were entertained of their nearer approach.
A letter dated at Cadiz June 25th, says, "Our situation is growing better every day. The French army is retiring from Estremadura. The English and Spanish armies are advancing in pursuit of them."
Latest from Spain.
[From the Centinel of Saturday last.]
The ship Golden Age, Capt. Remick, arrived last evening from Cadiz; which she left the 1st July.
Mr. Peake, a passenger, politely favored us with a file of the Spanish Government Gazette, to the 26th June; and the following verbal articles:—
That the French were concentrating their force in the vicinity of Madrid:—
That the army of General Blake had advanced from Tarragona, defeated the French, entered Arragon, but in an attempt to recover Saragossa was attacked by the French, beaten, and compelled to retire:—
That Marshal Victor had evacuated Estremadura; He was followed by Cuesta, who had 70,000 men under him; and the English army under General Wellesley was at Badajoz.
That the Spanish army of La Mancha had advanced to within 10 leagues of Madrid:—
That the enthusiasm of the Spanish Patriots had regained its prime height; that no despondency existed of the success of their cause; that the decrees of the Supreme Junta were universally respected and obeyed; that the great body of the people appeared resolved to die rather than submit to French domination; and that the English and Americans were highly respected.
That discipline and subordination were making soldiers of the Spaniards; and there were several thousand young volunteers from the Canaries, who were in daily drill in Cadiz, for the field.
The English have a small squadron in Cadiz; and the French Prizes were equipped for sea.
ARGUS IMPARTIALITY!
The following letter from the mate of the ship Neptune, to a gentleman in this town, was received a short time since. The impartial and very independent printer of the Argus, REFUSED to publish it entire; yet this tool of democracy can "cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" against another nation, that his readers may think him a "bon American."
"SIR, "I AVAIL myself of this opportunity to inform you of my situation and that of the remainder of the crew, formerly belonging to the ship Neptune. We arrived at Charante, on the 1st September, 1808, for a cargo of brandy, where we were embargoed until the 15th October—when, by the false testimony of John Tomlinson, (the carpenter) the ship was denounced as having come from a port of Great-Britain, and in conformity to the Emperor's desire, we were taken out of the ship and sent to Rochefort prison—where we remained, in close confinement until the 7th Dec. having nothing allowed us but bread and water. On the 7th Dec. we marched from Rochefort in company with the mates and crews of the Holland Trader, of Newyork, and Two Brothers, of N. Bedford, for this depot; to be treated as English prisoners of war. Capt. Osgood, being unwell, remained in the hospital at Rochefort, whence we are informed that he has gone for America. We arrived here on the 14th January, 1809, after being forced to leave the principal part of our clothing, and suffering very much both from fatigue and want. Immediately on our arrival here we wrote to his Excellency the American Minister at Paris, stating our situation and requesting him to make application for our release, or grant us some small pecuniary support from the U. States. (As our allowance here is hardly sufficient to support nature. I receive nineteen cents per day to furnish every necessary of life, and the remainder of the ship's crew have 1 pound of bread, half a pound of beef, and one and an half cents, cash, per day.)"
"His answer gave us no hopes of a speedy liberation, nor did he mention any thing respecting any assistance. We have repeatedly written to him since, requesting him to take our case into consideration; but have received no answer from him since. He seems to take no notice of us or any other Americans who are unfortunately detained as prisoners; of whom, I am sorry to say there are many. Mr. Isaac Cox Barnet, Consul of the U. S. for the district of Havre, is doing every thing that lies in his power to facilitate the release of all Americans detained, but unfortunately the man who is well disposed towards his fellow-citizens, wishing to render them every possible service, is not invested with so much authority as one who cares for nobody but himself. Mr. B. informs us that his Excellency the Minister of War has said, that in case H. E. the American Minister would interest himself in our behalf, we should be immediately liberated; but as he will not we must rest as contented as possible until affairs wear a more favorable aspect, which I hope will not be long, as 'tis reported here that the U. S. sloop of war Argus, is expected in France with some person to supercede General Armstrong. Should that happily be the case it will doubtless be productive of a change which we are sure cannot possibly be for the worse."
"We are this day informed by Mr. B. that the ships Neptune and Holland Trader, are condemned, and that it is determined by the council of prizes that their respective crews shall be detained as prisoners until the fines are paid according to the Emperor's decree. The names of those belonging to the Neptune, now in this depot, are, Barge Anderson, 2d mate, Benj. Sanborn, Robert Pottenger, Francis Tucker, James Dougherty, John Billings, Jno. Wingrove, Nash. L. Low, and Jno. Willens. Thomas Clark, the steward, is dead. The people have all had a turn in the hospital since our arrival here. We are a miserable set of beings here, without money and consequently without friends—deprived of our liberty and almost without hopes of having it restored."
"The ships Eleanor, of Portland, Lexington, of Baltimore, William, of Newburyport, Minerva, of Rochester, Amsterdam Packet, and the Wareham, of Newyork; and brigs Canton, of N. Y. and Plymouth, of Salem, have been seized at Charante since we left there; but fortunately most of the masters and crews made their escape from their ships to avoid detention. Capt. Chadwick of the Wareham, capt. Tucker, of the William, and captain Jenkins, of the Minerva, are in Rochefort prison, with part of their crews. Thus we experience the want of some friend to the liberties of his country, to represent America in France. A man deaf to the solicitations of the unfortunate, is not worthy to retain the office."
"As we are conscious of having performed our duty to the full extent of our power, we hope and trust your generosity will not forget us."
"With all possible respect, I remain, Sir, your most ob't humble serv't. ISAAC DOOLITTLE, "late mate of the ship Neptune." "ARRAS, 18th April, 1809."
Bank Bills. —Much alarm has been excited, and much inconvenience experienced within a few days past respecting bank bills. One day the bills of every Bank in this state [Berkshire excepted] are considered and pass as current money. The next day some passenger in the Stage from Boston, informs that the Brokers, (who no doubt are in very disinterested in money transactions) refuse to take the bills of particular banks at par. Instantly the news spreads like an electric shock, and down go the bills of Hallowell, Wiscasset and Penobscot Banks. The bills of these banks will not purchase even string-beans or shipping shingles. Ask any one, if either of these banks have refused to redeem their bills, his answer is "I don't know, but I can't take them." Thus it frequently happens that a man with a five dollar bill in his pocket is unable to purchase provisions for a dinner. If the funds of these banks are in a good state, the Directors ought to certify the same. It was never the intention of the Legislature that charters should be so abused as to swindle the public of their property, and we believe the officers of the Eastern Banks to be honorable men. From what information we have been able to obtain, we believe the bills of the banks to the eastward of this, to be good.

Could not learn their names, &c; supposed them to be French.
When the Chesapeake came to anchor, in Boston harbor on Saturday, her sails were unbent and on deck, in 10 minutes after the yards were manned. We mention this in honor of the discipline and dexterity of the crew.
Capt. Davidson, in brig Mary Ann, has ar. at Baltimore, from St. Thomas; reports that a number of American vessels had been sent into Jamaica; and that he "met with very extraordinary treatment from both naval and custom house officers at St. Thomas, which he intends giving in detail as a warning to adventurers that way."

Polly, Clarkson, do.; and brig Comet, Grey, of Providence; all seized, for attempting to land soap, candles, &c. &c. which were contraband. No decision had been taken on any of the vessels seized, and it was uncertain when there would be.—The captain of the Comet, had given bonds for his vessel and cargo; but when he applied at the custom-house for a clearance, it was denied him; no cause alleged—he then made an attempt to get to sea with his vessel, but was pursued by an English government sch. and taken, after being 36 hours out, and brought back. Also, left, among others, brig Hiram, Kinsman, for Boston, ready for sea; sch ——, Rich, for do. ready to take in. Flour, fish, &c. at Mart. very low; soap, candles, &c. high.

Informs that several American vessels were at Mart. seized. In the Ch. & Harriet came passenger, Capt. Leduc, late of the French 74 d'Hautpoule, captured by the British.
The Liberty, arrived at quarantine, Boston, has returned with part of her outward bound cargo, of fish and flour, not having
been able to dispose of it, in the several West-India Islands she has been at, for half the first cost. Her fish was offered for sale at auction, at St. Baris, but would fetch no more than 1 dol. 50 cts. per quintal!

Poetry.
ON MEMORY.
As wandering I found on my ruinous walks, By the dial stone aged and green, One rose of the wilderness left on its stalk, To mark where a garden had been; Like a brotherless hermit, the left of its race, All wild in the silence of nature, it drew From each wandering tuft a lonely embrace; For the night-weed and thorn over shadowed the place Where the flower of my forefathers grew. Sweet bud of the wilderness! Emblem of That survives in the disconsolate heart; The fabric of bliss to its centre may fall, But Patience shall never depart; Tho' the wild of Enchantment, all vernal and bright, In the days of delusion by fancy combined With the vanishing phantoms of love and de- light, Abandon my foul like a dream of the night, And leave but a desert behind.
EPITAPH, ON AN OLD MAID.
Here lies the body of Martha Dias, Always noisy—not very pious; Who lived to the age of 3 score years and ten, And gave to worms what she refused to men.
THE KISS.
"When first the lips of lovers meet, That kiss of kisses, O how sweet, Time, while it steals each featur'd grace, But more endears the lov'd embrace; For ah! no after-kiss so sweet, As first when lips of lovers meet."
Select Paragraphs.
CANCER.
The following article is copied from an Edinburgh paper:
"While I was at Smyrna, there was a girl afflicted with the Cancer in her lip, and the gum was affected. The European physicians consulted on the measures to be taken, and agreed that they saw no other method than to cut it out; and the girl had already sub- mitted herself to that decision. By an accident of that nature which men can- not account for, an old Armenian came to them just in time to prevent the ap- plication of the knife."
"Do nothing," said the Armenian, "I will cure her," and when he had pledged himself strongly, the physi- cians consented.
"He procured a copper vessel, new- ly tinned in the inside (an essential concurrence,) and having poured a certain quantity of olive oil into it, he made it boil over a small fire, suffi- ciently to keep it gently agitated, and so for three times in 24 hours. With this, the oil resolved itself to the con- sistency of an ointment, and by con- stantly rubbing the part affected, he cured her in 14 days.—Nothing else was done."
"The physicians supposed that the oil received its virtue from the tin, and that it was communicated by its long boiling over the fire."
Important to Farmers. —Break off the blows or flowers of the Potatoe tops, as they are about forming into ap- ples, it will increase the quantity one half.—Try the experiment, leave some hills, and examine for yourselves. [Berkshire Reporter.]
Mr. Bruce, the Abyssinian travel- ler, whilst accompanying a caravan in which were the natives of thirty different nations bordering on Ethi- opia, procured a translation of part of Solomon's Song from each language; he observed a striking similarity in many parts of these translations, par- ticularly in the word answering to "kiss," which was the same in them all. Having mentioned this to a certain bonny Duchess, [Gor- don] the archly retorted, "I always told you Mr. Bruce, that kissing is the same all the world over."

NOTICE.
BY virtue of the authority to me given by an act of the Legislature of this Com- monwealth, passed March 4th, A.D. 1809, entitled "An Act to incorporate a Society by the name of the Eastern Society for promoting the knowledge of Sacred Scriptures, and es- tablishing Christian order, instruction and pi- ety in the District of Maine," I hereby give public notice, that the first meeting of said Corporation will be held at the College Chap- el, in Brunswick, on Tuesday the fifth day of September next, at six of the clock in the af- ternoon, for the purposes mentioned in said Act. CHARLES COFFIN. Brunswick, Aug. 4th, 1809.
The Committee of the Eastern Society for promoting the knowledge of the sacred Scrip- tures and for establishing Christian order, instruction and piety, in the District of Maine, address themselves to the members of it, and to the religious publick, and announce with pleasure and gratitude, that the institution now rests upon Legislative authority and pa- tronage, and is prepared under many propi- tious circumstances to organize agreeably to the incorporating act. They are happy to find, that the objects of the Society excite the attention of the christian community, and that its views will accord with those of the Bible Society lately established in the United States. They are led to hope their means of usefulness will be increased by those and sim- ilar Institutions. An address to illustrate the principles and promote the designs of the In- stitution will be delivered by Alden Bradford, Esq. at the College Chapel in Brunswick, on Commencement day, at 5 o'clock in the af- ternoon—after which a contribution will be re- quested for the purpose of enhancing the funds of the Society. 'Tis hoped that the benevolent and pious will contribute to the design, and experience the sublime pleasure of doing good. A small sum will serve to carry the words of eternal life to individuals and families perishing for lack of vision. He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord.—May Almighty God succeed the endeavors of this Society to extend the blessings of evangelical truth and of Gospel order and piety. HEZEKIAH PACKARD, ALDEN BRADFORD, WOODBURY STORER. August 7.
