LATE AND IMPORTANT FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Victory over the Allied Armies.
THIRTIETH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
Austerlitz, 12th Frimaire, year 14.
The 6th Frimaire, the Emperor upon receiving the communication of the full powers of Messrs. de Stadion and de Gintay, offered previously an armistice, for the purpose of sparing the effusion of blood, if the enemy really had a mind to make an arrangement and come to a definitive accommodation.
But it was easy for the Emperor to perceive that the enemy had other projects; and as the hope of success could not come to the enemy, but from the side of the Russian army, he easily conjectured that the negotiations were no longer anything more than a ruse de guerre to lull his vigilance.
The 7th at nine o'clock in the morning a cloud of Cossacks, supported by the Russian cavalry, made the advanced posts of prince Murat fall back, surrounded Vitebsk and took there 50 men on foot of the 6th regiment of dragoons. In the course of the day, the Emperor of Russia repaired to Vitebsk, and the whole Russian army took position behind that town.
The Emperor had sent his aid-de-camp, General Savary, to compliment the Emperor of Russia as soon as he was apprised of that prince being arrived at the army. General Savary returned at the moment when the Emperor was reconnoitring the fires of the enemy's bivouac placed at Vitebsk. He bestowed great praise on the good reception, the graces and good personal sentiments of the Emperor of Russia, and even of the Grand Duke Constantine, who showed him every kind of care and attention; but it was easy for him to perceive from the series of conversations which he had for three days with about thirty coxcombs, who, under different titles, surrounded the Emperor of Russia, that presumption, imprudence and inconsideracy would reign in the decisions of the military cabinet, as they had reigned in those of the political one.
An army thus conducted, could not be long without committing faults. The emperor's plan was from that moment to wait for these faults and to watch the moment for profiting of them. He immediately gave orders for his army to retreat; retired by night, as if he had met with a defeat, took a good position three leagues behind, caused his men to work with great assiduity in fortifying it and in erecting batteries.
He proposed an interview to the Emperor of Russia, who sent him his aid-de-camp, Prince Dolgorouki; this aid-de-camp might remark that every thing in the countenance of the French army denoted reserve and timidity. The placing of large guards, the fortifications making, in the utmost haste, all showed the Russian officer an army half-beaten.
Against the custom of the Emperor, who never receives with so much circumspection flags of truce at his head quarters, he repaired himself to the advanced posts. After the first compliments, his Russian officer attempted to start political questions. He assumed upon every thing with an impertinence difficult to be imagined: he was in the most absolute ignorance of the interests of Europe, and of the situation of the continent. He was, in one word, as a young trumpeter of England. He spoke to the Emperor as he speaks to Russian officers, whom he has long provoked by his haughtiness and ill usage. The Emperor contained his indignation, and this young man who has gained a considerable influence over the Emperor Alexander, returned full of the idea that the French army was on the eve of its ruin. One may be convinced of what the Emperor must have suffered, when it is known that towards the end of the conversation, the Prince proposed to him to give up Belgium and to place the iron crown on the head of the most implacable enemies of France. All these different steps fulfilled their intention. To beat the French army was no longer the question, but to turn and take it; it had done so much only through the cowardice of the Austrians. It is asserted that several old Austrian generals who had made campaigns against the Emperor, warned the council that it was not with such confidence they ought to march against an army in which there were so many old soldiers and officers of the first merit. They said that they had seen the Emperor reduced to a handful of men, in the most difficult circumstances insure his victory by rapid and unforeseen operations and destroy the most numerous armies; that there, however, no advantage had been obtained; that, on the contrary, all the skirmishes of the advanced guard of the first Russian army had been to the advantage of the French army; to these observations, these presumptuous youths opposed the bravery of 80,000 Russians, the enthusiasm inspired into them by
the presence of their Emperor, the picked corps of the Imperial guards of Russia, and what they probably did not dare advance their talents, of which they were assured that the Austrians did not comprehend the power.
On the 10th, the Emperor, from the top of his bivouac perceived with unspeakable joy, the Russian army beginning at two cannon shot from his advanced posts, a movement in flank to turn his right. He then saw to what a pitch presumption and ignorance of the art of war had misled the councils of this brave army. He frequently repeated: "Before to morrow evening, that army will be in my power." Nevertheless the enemy entertained a very different idea: he came up within a pistol shot of our advanced guard; desisting by a flank march on a line of four leagues in length, extending along the French army, which appeared as if it dared not move out of its position: it had but one fear, that the French army would escape it. Every thing was done to confirm the enemy in this idea. Prince Murat caused a small corps of cavalry to advance into the plain; but suddenly, as if astonished at the immense forces of the enemy, it hastily returned. Thus every thing tended to censure the Russian general in the ill calculated operation he had fixed on. The Emperor caused the annexed proclamation to be placed in the order of the day. In the evening he wished to visit on foot and incognito all the night guards; but he had scarcely made a few paces ere he was recognized. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the soldiers, on seeing him draw lights were in an instant placed on the tops of thousands of pikes, and 80,000 men presented themselves before the Emperor saluting him with acclamations; some to celebrate the fete of the anniversary of his coronation, the others saying that the army would give its feoffage to the Emperor on the morrow. One of the old Grenadiers came up and said to him: "Sire, you need not expose yourself. I promise you in the name of the Grenadiers of the army, that you need only fight with your eyes, and that we will bring you to morrow the standards and artillery of the Russian Army to celebrate the anniversary of your coronation."
The Emperor said on entering his bivouac, which consisted of a wretched straw hovel without a roof, which the Grenadiers had made for him; "This is the finest evening of my life: but I regret to think that I shall lose a number of these brave fellows. I feel how much that will hurt me, that they are truly my children, and, in fact I sometimes reproach myself with this sentiment, which I fear will end by rendering me incapable of carrying on war." Could the enemy have beheld this scene; he would have been alarmed. But rash and unthinking he continued his movement, and hastened forwards to his ruin.
The Emperor immediately caused the preparations to be made for battle. He dispatched Marshal Davoust to the convent of Ragerne; he was with one of his divisions, and a division of dragoons to make head against the enemy's left wing, in order that at a signal given, it might be quite enveloped: he gave the command of the left to Marshal Lannes, of the right to Marshal Soult, of the centre to Marshal Bernadotte, and of all the cavalry, which he assembled on one point to Prince Murat. The left of Marshal Lannes were supported by the Santon, a superb position which the Emperor had caused to be placed eighteen pieces of cannon. On the evening preceding the battle, he had intrusted the guard of this position to the seventeenth regiment of Light Infantry, and certainly it could not be guarded by better troops. The division of General Suchet formed the left of Marshal Lannes; and that of General Caffarelli his right, which was supported by the Cavalry of Prince Murat. The latter had in front of it Hussar and Light Horse under the orders of General Kellermann, and the division of dragoons Valthei and Beaumont, and in reserve the divisions of cuirassiers of Generals Nanfouy and d'Maulpouir with 24 pieces of light artillery.
Marshal Bernadotte, that is to say, the centre, had on its left the division of general Rivaud, supported on the centre by Prince Murat, and on its left the division of General Drouet.
Marshal Soult, who commanded the right of the army, had at his left the division of general Vandamme, at the centre the division general St. Hilaire, at his right the division of general Legrand.
Marshal Davoust was detached to the right of general Legrand, who guarded the passages of the Ponds, and of the villages of Sokolnitz and Celnitz. He had with him the division Friant and the dragoons of the division of General Bourcier. The division of general Gudin was to march very early in the morning from Nichoburg to stop any of the enemy's corps which might reach beyond the right.
The Emperor with his faithful war-companions marshal Berthier, his first aid-de-camp colonel-gen. Junot and all his staff, was in reserve with the ten battalions of his guards, and the ten battalions of general Oudinot, of which gen. Durod commanded a part.

This reserve was drawn up in two lines in columns by battalion, at the distance of opening—having in the intervals 40 pieces of cannon served by the artillerymen of the guards. It is with this reserve that the Emperor had the project of rushing wherever his presence would have been necessary. We may say that this reserve alone was worth an army.
At 1 o'clock in the morning the Emperor mounted on horseback to visit his posts, reconnoitre the fires of the enemy's batteries and receive an account from the large guards of what they might have heard of the movements of the Russians. He learned that they had spent the night in drunkenness and tumultuous cries; and that a corps of Russian infantry had presented themselves at the village of Sokolnitz, occupied by a regiment of the division of General Legrand, who received orders to reinforce it.
The 11th Frimaire, day at length appeared. The sun rose radiant; and this anniversary of the Emperor's coronation, on which one of the finest feats of arms of the age was going to take place, was one of the finest days of this autumn.
This battle, which the soldiers persist in calling the engagement of the three emperors, which others call the engagement of the anniversary, & which the Emperor has called the battle of Austerlitz, will be for ever memorable in the annals of the Great Nation.
The Emperor, surrounded by all his Marshals, waited to give his last orders, till the horizons should be well lighted. At the first rays of the sun the orders were given, and each marshal rejoined his corps in full gallop.
The Emperor said in passing along the front of several regiments: "Soldiers, we must finish this campaign by a clap of thunder which shall confound the pride of our enemies;" and immediately the hats on the point of the bayonets, and shouts of long live the Emperor were the true signal for action. A moment after the cannonade was heard at the extremity of the right, which the enemy's advanced guard had already passed; but the unforeseen reencounter of marshal Davoust stopped the enemy short, and the engagement commenced.
Marshal Soult moved off at the same instant, marched towards the village of Pratzen with the divisions of generals Vandamme and St. Hilaire, and entirely cut the enemy's right, all the movements of which became uncertain. Surprised by a march of flank whilst it was flying thinking itself attacking and seeing itself attacked, it looked upon itself as half beaten.
Prince Murat moved off with his cavalry. The left, commanded by marshal Lannes, marched in echelons regiments, as at exercise. A tremendous cannonade commenced along the whole line: 200 pieces of cannon and nearly 200,000 men made a dreadful noise; it was a real combat of giants.—The armies had not yet been fighting for an hour, and the whole of the enemy's left was cut off. His right found itself already arrived at Austerlitz, the head-quarters of the two Emperors, who were immediately forced to march the Emperor of Russia's guards, to endeavour to re-establish the communication of the centre with the left. A battalion of the 4th of the line was charged by the Russian Imperial horse guards, and routed; but the Emperor was not far off; perceiving this movement, he ordered marshal Bessieres to march to the succour of his right with his invincibles, and shortly after the two guards were engaged.
The success could not be doubtful: in a moment the Russian guards were routed. Colonel, artillery, standards, all were carried away. The regiment of the Grand Duke Constantine was crushed. He himself owed his safety only to the swiftness of his horse.
From the heights of Austerlitz, the two emperors beheld the defeat of all the Russian guards. At the same
moment the centre of the army, commanded by marshal Bernadotte, advanced; three of his regiments maintained a very fine charge of cavalry. The left, commanded by marshal Lannes, attacked several times. All the charges were victorious. The division of general Caffarelli distinguished itself.
The division cuirassiers seized the enemy's batteries. At one o'clock in the afternoon, victory was decided; it had not been a single moment, doubtful. Not a man of the reserve had been necessary, nor had fought anywhere, but at our right. The enemy's corps which had been surrounded and driven from all its heights, found itself in a low ground and pushed up against a lake. The Emperor marched thither with twenty pieces of cannon. This corps was driven from position to position, and a horrible spectacle ensued, such as was seen at Aboukir 20,000 men throwing themselves into the water and drowning themselves in the lakes.
Two columns, each of four thousand Russians laid down their arms and surrendered prisoners; the enemy's whole park is taken. The result of this engagement is 40 stands of Russian colors, among which are the standard of the imperial guard; a considerable number of prisoners, the staff does not yet know them all. It had already notice of 20,000, 12 or 15 generals; at least 15,000 Russians killed remained on the field of battle.—Although the reports be not yet arrived, we can at the first coup-d'œil, estimate our loss at 800 men killed, and between 15 and 1600 wounded. This will not astonish military men, who know that it is only in a rout that men are lost, and no other corps but the battalion of the 4th was broken. Among the wounded is Gen. St. Hilaire, who, wounded at the commencement of the engagement, remained the whole day in the field of battle; he covered himself with glory. The generals of division Kellerman and Walther, the generals of brigade Valubert, Thielbut, Sebasiani, Dampan, and Rapp, aid de camp to the emperor. It was the latter who, in charging at the head of the grenadiers of the guards took Pr. Repnin, commander of the knights of the imperial guards of Russia. As to the men who have distinguished themselves, it is the whole army which has covered itself with glory, it constantly charged shouting long live the Emperor, and the idea of celebrating the coronation further animated the soldiers.
The French army, although numerous and beautiful, was inferior in number to the enemy's army, which consisted of 105,000 men, 80,000 of whom were Russians and 25,000 Austrians. Half of this army is destroyed; the rest has been put to the rout, and the greater part have thrown down their arms.
This day will cost tears of blood to St. Petersburg. May it cause that cabinet to reject with indignation the the gold of England; and may the young prince whom so many virtues called to be the father of his subjects, snatch himself from the influence of those 30 coxcombs whom England pays with art, and whose impertinencies obscure his intentions, make him lose the love of his soldiers and throw him into the most erroneous operations. Nature, by enduing him with such great qualities, called on him to be the consoler of Europe. Perfidious councils, by tendering him the auxiliary of England, will place him in History in the rank of those men, who by perpetuating war on the continent, consolidated British tyranny over the ocean and caused the misfortunes of our generation. If France cannot attain peace but on the conditions which the aid-de-camp Dolgorouki proposed to the Emperor, and that Baron Novosiltzoff was charged to bring, Russia will not obtain them, even if its army should be encamped on the heights of Montmartre.
In a more detailed relation of this
battle, the Staff-Major will make known what each corps, each officer, each general, has done to illustrate the French name, and give a testimony of love to their Emperor.
On the 12th, at day break, Prince John of Lichtenstein, commander of the Austrian army waited on the emperor at his head quarters, set up in a barn. He had a long audience of him. Nevertheless we pursue our success. The enemy is retreating along the road from Austerlitz to Goring. In this retreat he presents his flank, the French army is already on his rear and following him with the sword in his reins.
Never was a more horrid field of battle. From the midst of immense lakes we still hear the cries of thousands of men who cannot be relieved. It will be three days before the wounded enemies can be all sent off to Brunn. It makes one's heart bleed. May so much blood shed, so many misfortunes fall on the perfidious Islanders who are the cause of them: may the cowardly oligarchs of London support the burthen of so many evils.
From the Babouac, 10th Frimaire. SOLDIERS, You see before you the Russian army come to avenge the Austrian army of Ulm. They are the same battalions you have beaten at Hollabrunn, and whom you have constantly pursued to this place.
The positions we occupy are as formidable, and whilst they march to turn my right, they will present me their flank.
Soldiers, I shall direct in person in all your battalions; I shall keep at a distance from the fire, if with your accustomed bravery you carry disorder and confusion into the enemy's ranks, but if victory be for a moment uncertain, you will see your emperor expose himself to the first blows; for victory cannot hesitate in this day especially when the honor of the French infantry, which imports so much to the honor of the whole nation, is at stake.
Let not your ranks be thinned under the pretence of carrying off the wounded, and let each man be well penetrated with the thought that we must vanquish these stipendiaries of England, who are animated with so great a hatred against our nation.
This victory will finish our campaign, and we may take up our winter quarters where we shall be joined by the new armies now forming in France and then the peace I shall make will be worthy of my people, of you, and of me.
Signed, NAPOLEON. By order of the Major-General of the Army, Marshal BERTHIER.
AUSTERLITZ, 12th Frimaire. Soldiers,
I am satisfied with you; you have in the engagement of Austerlitz, justified what I expected from your intrepidity. You have decorated your eagles with an immortal glory. An army of 100,000 men, commanded by the Emperors of Russia and Austria has been in less than four hours cut to pieces and dispersed; those who have escaped your swords, have been drowned in the lakes.
Forty pair of colours, the standards of the Imperial Guards of Russia, 120 pieces of cannon, twenty generals, upwards of 30,000 prisoners, are the result of this memorable day. This infantry so much boasted of and in superior numbers, have not been able to resist your shock, and henceforth you will have no more rivals to dread. Thus in two months, this third coalition has been vanquished and dissolved. Peace can no longer be at a distance; but, as I promised my people, before crossing the Rhine, I will only make a peace which shall give us guarantees and secure rewards to our allies.
Soldiers, when the French people placed the Imperial Crown on my head, I trusted to you to maintain it
forever in that high splendour of glory which could alone render it valuable in my eyes. But at the same moment our enemies thought of destroying and vilifying it; and the iron crown conquered by the blood of so many Frenchmen, they wished to oblige me to place on the head of our most cruel enemies; rash and senseless projects, that on the very day of the anniversary of your Emperor's coronation you have annihilated and confounded. You have taught them that it is easier to brave and to threaten, than it is to conquer us.
Soldiers, when every thing that is necessary to insure the happiness and prosperity of our country shall be accomplished I will conduct you back to France. There you will be the object of my most tender solicititudes. My people will again behold you with joy, and will be sufficient for you to say I was at the battle of Austerlitz, for them to answer, That is a brave fellow!

BOSTON, March 17. LATEST FROM EUROPE. By the Arrival at this port yesterday of the Ship Packet, Captain Scott, in 30 days from Liverpool.
Since our last publication, a mass of highly important intelligence has been received from Europe. The latest advices are from London to the 10th February, and add to the accounts received on Saturday by the way of New-York, many new and interesting particulars. The most prominent articles are—that a TREATY OF PEACE has been actually concluded between France and Austria—that the Russian troops have quitted the German dominion—that Bonaparte had returned to Paris, whither his troops were to follow in a short time—that the Emperor of Germany had returned to his capital—that Prussia had taken possession of Hanover in her own name—that a new empire was to be formed in Italy—that several bodies of French troops were on their march to reorganize the Army of England —and that the British troops which had been sent to the Continent were re-embarked for home.
In England, by reason of the deeply regretted death of Mr. PITT , an entire new administration had been formed from the two parties lately opposed to the views of Mr. Pitt; the leading characters of which are Lord Grenville and Mr. Fox.
We do not see that Russia is included in any of the stipulations of the late Continental Treaty of Peace.
The following selections are all we are enabled to make from the papers this day.
FRENCH ACCOUNTS.
PARIS, JAN. 15. —At length the official Treaty of Peace with Austria has been communicated to the public, and which the Emperor has sent from Munich to be ratified by the Senate.

ENGLISH ACCOUNTS.
LONDON, Feb. 3, 1806. MR. PITT.
It is with unfeigned concern we state that the Right Hon. WILLIAM PITT, breathed his last at 4 o'clock, on Thursday morning, 23d Jan. at his house at Putney. The illness of Mr. Pitt originated in excessive anxiety, and unwearied attention to business. His whole nervous system was so deranged, that for weeks together, he was unable to sleep, and this privation of rest led to a general breaking up of his constitution. An hereditary gout completed the whole.
NEW MINISTRY.
FEB. 4.—The new Ministry is at length finally arranged. Lord Grenville waited upon his Majesty yesterday at noon. The conference was confined to that one point upon which a difference of opinion had taken place, viz. the annexing a Military Council to the office of Commander in Chief. We are happy to state that his Majesty was graciously pleased to acquiesce in that measure which Lord Grenville had so earnestly and properly pressed.—But we are informed that his Majesty, in order that there might be no misunderstanding on the subject, delivered his sentiments in writing.—Lord Grenville then retired from the Royal presence with the paper he had received from his Majesty and submitted it to his friends. He then returned to the Queen's House about 4 o'clock, and declared to his Majesty that his friends and himself were perfectly satisfied with the contents of the paper which his Majesty had been graciously pleased to submit to them. His Majesty then informed his Lordship, that as no further difference of opinion existed, he considered the business as finally arranged.—The following is the List.
Mr. Erskine—Lord Chancellor. Lord Grenville—First Lord of the Treasury. Lord Henry Petty—Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Fox—Secretary of State for the Foreign Affairs Department. Earl Spencer—Ditto for the Home Department. Mr. Windham—Secretary of State for the Colonial and War department. Mr. Grey—First Lord of the Admiralty. Earl Mount—Master-Gen. of the Ordnance. Earl Fitzwilliam—President of the Council. Lord Sidmouth—Lord Privy Seal. Lord Ellenborough—A voice, without office.
The whole of the other arrangements are not yet settled.
The French papers bring a Proclamation, in which the Emperor Bonaparte says, that England may have Peace, provided she will reduce her maritime establishments.
We understand Mr. Fox has already sent dispatches to all our Ministers at Foreign Courts, announcing the change in our Ministry, and adding that his wish is to restore peace to all Europe. If report be true, it is Mr. Fox's intention to make peace with France immediately.
FEB. 10.—It is stated in several of the papers of this morning, that dispatches were received on Saturday Evening, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from the Continent, containing intelligence of a most extraordinary and disastrous nature, viz. that the King of Prussia had taken possession of the Electorate of Hanover in his own name, and as his own property; that his Britannic Majesty's army, as electors of Hanover, had been taken from the Tribunals and Public Offices throughout the Electorate, and that a demand had been made upon Lord Cathcart, that all the recruits raised there for the German Legion should be given up to the Prussian Government, &c.
It is mentioned in some accounts, that the King of Prussia is to take possession of Bremen. Three Per Cent. Consols 61 for money.
NEWPORT.
THURSDAY—MARCH 20, 1806.
On the fourteenth day of this present month called March, intelligence was brought unto this city that Napoleon, surnamed Bonaparte, the chief of the French nation had fought a great fight with the Emperors of Austria and Russia, at a place called Austerlitz in the province of Moravia, in the dominions of the Emperor of Germany. And the messenger who came with this intelligence, said verily on the first day of the second month of this present year, the French army commanded by Napoleon was near unto Austerlitz in Moravia, and was drawn out in battle array. And behold the allied army of Austria and Russia, commanded by their beloved Emperors Francis and Alexander, was now near
unto the French army, and was ready for the battle. And the Emperors of Austria and Russia, seeing that a battle between the armies must shortly be fought, said unto the chief officers of the army, thou knowest that we are not accustomed unto the whistling of bullets, nor unto the smell of powder. We will not therefore go down unto the battle, least our fair faces should be blacked by the smoke of the cannon, and we should be affrighted by the whistling of the bullets, and should turn our backs upon the enemy, and should run quickly from the field, and our army should follow us. Moreover, thou knowest that we are not acquainted with military tactics, and are not able to guide the operations of this great army in time of battle. Go down therefore unto the camp and do whatever seemeth good in your own eyes, and we will stand upon the hills and look upon the battle. And the chief officers of the army did as they were commanded, and went down upon the plains of Austerlitz, and began to prepare for the fight. And Napoleon looked upon the movements of the allies, and he laughed in his sleeve at their awkwardness, and said unto himself, by what stupid councils are those brave men guided! And he was exceedingly rejoiced at seeing the unskillful manoeuvres of his enemies, and he could not conceal his joy; and he cried aloud, I will shortly cut up mine enemies by the roots. And his soldiers heard what he said, and they had great confidence in the skill and courage of their commander, and they considered the battle as already gained. And now the night came on, and both armies repaired unto their tents, and there waited for the light of the day, that they might begin the battle.
Early in the morning of the second day of the second month of this present year, before the rising of the sun, Napoleon looked towards the camp of the allies, and saw them marching to attack him. And he said unto his chief captains, go, fall upon the enemy quickly, and prevent them from beginning the fight. And they did as he had commanded them, and immediately the battle was begun. And the Emperors of Austria and Russia, looked from the hills and saw the two armies fighting. And they were exceedingly pleased with the fight thereof, and said one to the other, how grand and beautiful is the scene before us. And now the battle waxed hot, and the army of the allies was discomfited, and they fled before Napoleon. And the slaughter of the allies was exceedingly great in this day's battle. Fifteen thousand fell by the sword, and thirty thousand were taken prisoners, and many were drowned in the lakes.
And when the messenger had finished speaking, the news spread over the city like unto a running fire, and it was told in every man's hearing. And behold when it was told unto the friends of Britain, they said verily it cannot be true, for surely this is the same battle in which our good king, George the third, has before told us that the army of the allies was victorious. Surely our king cannot lie, because he cannot do evil, and if he were to lie, he would certainly do evil. Nevertheless they were troubled in spirit at what they had heard, and they ran quickly to the Coffee-house, and enquired of the chief men there assembled, whether the news which had been told them were true. And when they were told that there was great reason to believe that it was true, behold they rent their garments, and cried out exceedingly, and scraped up the dust in the streets, and strewed it upon their heads, and said they would never be comforted. And the chief men seeing their distress, had compassion on them, and they said one to the other, what shall we do to pacify the people, and relieve them from their present distress? And they agreed that one of their number should go out into the piazza, and speak unto the multitude, and endeavor to quiet them. And one of their number did according to the agreement, and went out into the piazza, and spake unto the people saying, it is true that our misfortunes are great, but we must endeavour to bear them with fortitude and patience. It is true that our last earthly hope, the Russian army, is destroyed, and that the millions expended by the British government in promoting the war upon the continent, has only served to add to the power and glory of France, to weaken the power of Austria, to impoverish its subjects and to cause many of them to hate their Emperor and to love the French. And as he spake they opened wide their mouths, and looked redfactly at him, and attended to his speech with eagerness. And his words entered into their mouths as they were gaped open, & went down into their bellies, and caused their bowels to yearn greatly; and they cried out with the pain thereof, saying, how can we endure such affliction?
And the chief speaker seeing their distress answered quickly, but an hair of the head of an Englishman shall not be touched. England shall forever remain to mock the impotent threats of the presumptuous Corsican, and shall take unmolested from the commerce of the rebels of this country, such part thereof as they are bound by law to render unto their king.
And lo, these last words pleased the people exceedingly, and they departed in peace, and went every man to his own home.
IT being the opinion of a respectable number of Freemen, that the Gov. or Lieut. Governor, should reside in the town of Newport, it is therefore requested, that the Citizens in general, of said town, will meet at the State House next Monday evening, at 6 o'clock, in order to deliberate on the matter, and determine whether an effort shall be made to obtain the Election of a Freeman of this Town, to the office of Lieut. Gov. for the ensuing year; and if to be made, to select a suitable candidate for the office. March 20th, 1806.
The great press of foreign news in this day's paper, has excluded our Congressional Register, a copy of the Convention Prox, several Communications, a great number of Advertisements, and some Foreign Articles which we had prepared in type.

POETRY
FOR THE RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN, Mr. Editor, by giving the following Compo- sition a place in your useful paper, you will much oblige, one of your constant readers.
ON FATE.
If man by fate is govern'd here below, To fate the duty of our lives we owe, And not to God whose holy word demands, The labour of our heads and hearts and hands.
How shall a righteous judge mankind reward, With life and death according to his word, If he by an unchangeable decree, Their works design'd from all Eternity?
Will he the vials of his wrath shower down, On mortals who his ways have never known, If he before the world began design'd His mercy grace, and love thy ne'er should find.
But some may say man is an agent free, And finds according to his own decree; So as he is a captive willing bound, No blame on God's account is to be found.
For tho', the Deity did sure ordain, The various deeds of angels & of men Yet as both men and angels sinned free, God is most just and they most damned be,
But if all things were first ordain'd by God; The will of man must then be in the croud, Therefore he's not condemn'd for living free, Because that freedom is necessity.
If deeds be order'd by his firm decree, The will by which men act cannot be free Thus stern necessity reigns o'er the whole, The mind and will are under its controul.
How can poor mortals shun this doleful fate, If will and deeds and ends be all by fate, Or how for ever justly damned be; When they have kept God's wise and just decree,
Can God, supreme, eternal, just and wise, Ordain D-unkenneth, Swearing, Theft & Lies, And yet this catalogue of hateful ill, Stand all oppos'd to his most Righteous will.
If there's a discord in the God of might, Does Glory bright, contend with glory bright; Or has Jehovah absolute Ordain'd, Those things which most oppose his just com- mand.
Is he not pleas'd with all that he has done, This firm decree as his eternal throne, How is it then that in his word he saith, I take no pleasure in the sinner's death.
To them who by patient continuance in well doing, Seek for glory, and honors; immortality, and eternal life. But unto them that are wicked and do not Obey the truth, but Obey unrighteousness indignation and wrath, Tribulation and Anguish upon every soul of man, and every pro- fane swearer, and All the Ridiculous of the Camp * Religious meetings. * See this Gazette Dec. 12th, 1805. A Friend to the pure Gospel.
MR. BIRBE, As you have been pleased to notice one or two of my trifles I now trouble you with another.
"Blast me if reading is not my delight." Young dapper said to me the other night, "My only pleasure: "What a sweet author for that Farquar is; "E'gad I never read him, but with bliss "E'gad beyond all measure.
If e'er I laugh 'tis when I see Such chaps as this,—puff'd full of vanity, And deeply read—in little pages,— With self sufficiency in their looks, Talking as flippantly of books, As thirty fages—!
I always love to lay the puppies low, And sometimes do it—Apocrop—
Farquar—with pleasure I had often read, But doubted much, if dapper ever had; And so to try him—learned for said I, You've read my curiosity By what you've said; For I must own and much 'tis to my shame, I ne'er before have heard of Farquar, name: I know not what he wrote more than the dead;
"He wrote" says dapper "Sir—he wrote divine; "Genius and wit, abound in every line, "Beyond what I can tell, "Excepting Shakespeare, Thompson, Milton, Pope, "Upon my honour, Sir, I never hope "To read an Author I like half so well,
But Sir—said I, permit me to enquire, What—did he write that you so much admire, I long to know; "Why Sir—he wrote—a book—E'gad you may laugh, "I own it for—all bound & gilt in calf, "And letter'd too—
Its title for! "I do admir'd the book." Says dapper—"that I never thought to look; Its subject for?—says dapper "I'll reflect, "It is—E'gad Sir—I can't recollect. Bristol March 10th 1806 T.
