Political Miscellany.
FROM THE BOSTON PATRIOT MR. ADAMS' CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED To the Printers of the Boston Patriot, SIRS.
IN page 23, Mr. Hamilton says, my "conduct in the office of President was a heterogeneous compound of right & wrong, of wisdom and error." As at that time, in my opinion, his principal rule of right and wrong, of wisdom and error, was his own ambition, and indelicate pleasures, I despise his censure, and should consider his approbation as a satire on my administration. "The outlet," he says, "was distinguished by a speech which his friends lamented as temporizing. It had the air of a lure for the favor of his opponents at the expense of his sincerity." Until I read this, I never heard one objection to that speech, and I have never heard another since, except in a letter from a lady, who said she did not like it, because there was but one period in it, and that period was too long. I fully agreed to that lady's opinion and now thank her for her criticism. Since that time I have never heard nor read, except in Wood's History, any objection or criticism.
That address was dictated by the same spirit which produced my conference the next day with Mr. Jefferson, in which I proposed to him the idea of sending him to France, and the more serious thought of nominating Mr. Madison. It sprang from a very serious apprehension of danger to our country, and a sense of injustice to individuals, from that arbitrary and exclusive principle of faction which confines all employments and promotions to its own favorites. There is a distinction founded in truth and nature, between party and faction. The former is founded in principle and system, concerning the public good; the latter in private interest and passions. An honest party man will never exclude talents and virtues and qualities eminently useful to the public, merely on account of a difference in opinion. A factious man will exclude every man alike, faint or sinner, who will not be a blind, passive tool. If I had been allowed to follow my own ideas, Hamilton and Burr, in my opinion, with submission to Divine Providence, would have been alive at this hour—General Muhlenburg, of Pennsylvania, would have been a Brigadier, under Hamilton, in the army, as long as it lasted; and the great body of Germans in Pennsylvania, instead of being disgraced with imputations of rebellion, would have been good friends of government. I have not room to develop all this at present. But I soon found myself shackled. The heads of departments were exclusive patriots. I could not name a man who was not devoted to Hamilton, without kindling a fire. The Senate was now decidedly federal. During President Washington's whole administration of eight years, his authority in Senate was extremely weak. The Senate was equally divided in all great constitutional questions, and in all great questions of foreign relations, and such as were the most sharply contested were brought to my decision as Vice President. When I was elected, the States had been pleased to make an entire change in the Senate. Two thirds of that honorable body were now decidedly federal. And prosperity had its usual effect, on federal minds. It made them confident and presumptuous. I soon found, that if I had not the previous consent of the heads of departments, and the approbation of Mr. Hamilton, I run the utmost risk of a dead negative in the Senate. One such negative at least I had, after a very formal and very uncivil remonstrance of one of their large, unconstitutional committees in secret. I have great reason to believe, that Mr. Jefferson came into office with the same spirit that I did—that is, with a sincere desire of conciliating parties, as far as he possibly could, consistently with his principles. But he soon found, as I did, that the Senate had a decided majority of republicans, five or six to one, much greater majority than there was in my time, of
federalists, who were never more than two to one.
In the House of Representatives, in Mr. Washington's time, the majority of federalists was very small. In my time, it was somewhat larger, but still small. In Mr. Jefferson's time, the majority of republicans was immense two or three or four, to one. Confidenceness of this strength had the same effect upon republicans as it had upon federalists in my time. It made them confident, exclusive and presumptuous. Mr. Jefferson found it impossible as I did to follow his own inclination on many occasions.
It may be the right presumption in me to impute errors to the nation; but as I have never concealed from the people any part which it was important to them to know nor any opinion of my own, which was material in public affairs, I hope to be excused if I suggest that the general sentiment in most parts of the continent, that all the danger to liberty arises from the executive power, and that the President's office cannot be too much restrained, is an error.
Corruption in almost all free governments has begun and been first introduced in the Legislature. When any portion of executive power has been lodged in popular or aristocratical assemblies, it has seldom, if ever, failed to introduce intrigue—The executive powers lodged in the Senate are the most dangerous to the constitution and to liberty of all the powers in it. The people then ought to consider the President's office as the indispensable guardian of their rights. I have ever therefore, been of opinion, that the electors of President ought to be chosen by the people at large. The people cannot be too careful in the choice of their Presidents; but when they have chosen them, they ought to expect that they will act their own independent judgments, and not be wheedled nor intimidated by factious combinations of Senators, Representatives, heads of departments, or military officers.
The exclusive principle which has been adopted, and too openly avowed by both our great divisions, when the pendulum has swung to their side, is a principle of faction, and not of honest party. It is intolerance! It is despotism! It destroys the freedom of the press! The freedom of elections! The freedom of debate! the freedom of deliberation! the freedom of private judgment! And as long as the Senate shall be determined to negative all but their own party, the President can have no will or judgment of his own. I most earnestly entreat all parties to reconsider their resolutions on this subject. JOHN ADAMS. Quincy, June 2, 1809.
USEFUL TO FARMERS.
To relieve Cattle choked by Apples or Potatoes, or any such substance; or loaven by Clover.
Provide a tough piece of Grape vine, about a yard and a half long, and as thick as a man's finger, with a knob from one or two inches diameter at the end. Surround this knob with a piece of linen or leather, which when stuffed with wool or tow, will make a ball of three inches in diameter; & secure it well so as to prevent its slipping over the knob; roll it in soft soap or grease, and having secured the Creature, and holding its tongue, thrust the ball down its throat quite into its stomach, and it will immediately be relieved.
It is evident how the cure is effected in the case of any round substance choking the animal; but to understand how the cure is accomplished when the animal is hove with clover or other green food, it must be considered that the cause of this complaint is the fermentation of a large quantity of green food, in the first stomach of the animal; on the surface of which a cake formed of the unchewed leaves floats; and is pressed by the confined air, against the upper orifice of the stomach, so as to stop it completely and prevent the escape of the least particle of air, which immediately swells the animal, and unless let out must destroy it.
It is usual to effect this by stabbing, near the hip bone, where the coats of the first stomach adhere to the skin; but the method here described is easier, safer & equally effectual. As soon as the ball is thrust into the stomach, it breaks the cake, lets out the air, and the animal is relieved.
A duel was fought on the 16th inst. between the Editor of the Whig [which the Dart. Gazette, calls a factious paper,] and Benjamin Edes, formerly printer of the Newburyport Gazette and lately journeyman in the Whig office. The former was wounded in the right arm. [Bats. Fed. Repub.]
The Emperor of Russia has appointed Count Fedor Petrovitz Pahlen, ambassador to the United States of America.

The following article was published in a French paper, and was deemed to be official.
ANVERS, JUNE 2.
In the present state of things, it may be regarded as certain, that the imperial decree of the 16th September, will be executed with more rigor than ever; and that its influence will extend to the allies of France on the continent; for, if ever there was a moment when a blow could be struck to the commerce of England, to the productions of her fabrics and to that of her colonies, it is the present one. Almost all the coast of Europe belong to France, to her friends or allies. Trieste, as well as Sweden, are lost to England: and the Baltic sea will soon be surrounded by an army, who will protect it from the introduction of prohibited goods. No other system than that followed since a long time, can now be adopted without ruin to French commerce and French fabrics; and that facility of coming into our ports under the American flag, ought to be forbidden. These are truths which all the commercial places of France are penetrated, particularly that of Paris.
THIRTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH ARMY.
Ebersdorf, May 28.
On the night of the 20th, our bridges were carried away by the force of the waters, and mills which had been set afloat. We had not time to drive the piles and to fix the great iron chain. One bridge is repaired, another will be to-morrow. On the 27th we heard of the arrival of the army of Italy at Bruck.—Gen. Lauriston has formed a junction with this army, not having heard of them for 12 days. The viceroy this campaign has manifested a fang froid and a foresight which evince the great commander. Jellachich, who by his insolent proclamation to the Tyrolese to inflamed their passions, has had his whole corps destroyed. The archduke John, who wrote with such excessive presumption to the duke of Ragusa, ( Marmonst ) evacuated Gratz yesterday, scarcely carrying with him 20 or 25,000 men of the fine army that entered Italy—his arrogance has terminated in shame and infamy. The people of Italy accompanied our soldiers with tears and benedictions, and gave them every assistance. The contempt and hatred of the archduke John were only equalled by their joy at our triumphant approach. Certain papers showed that they bore a great love to the emperor, and would not accept offices under the Austrian government.
The regiments of Italy, who distinguished themselves in Poland covered themselves with glory. The charming country is rapidly progressing to the most happy destinies. All the accounts from the Austrian army state their loss, on the 21st and 22nd, to have been enormous; the flower of the army perished. The wits of Austria say that "gen. Danube saved the Austrian army." Tyrol and Voralberg are subjugated. Carniola, Styria, Carinthia, Salzburg, Upper and Lower Austria, are tranquillized and disarmed.
When Trieste was taken possession of, all English colonial produce was confiscated.—Saving the Russian squadron was a circumstance peculiarly agreeable to the emperor. The junction of the army of Dalmatia approaches.
The brigand Schill, who truly gives himself the title of general in the service of England, prostitutes the name of the king of Prussia as the satellites of England do that of Ferdinand, has been driven to an island in the Elbe. The king Westphalia, besides 15,000 native troops, has one Dutch and one French division; add to this two divisions of a corps of observation under Ribaud and Despreaux, and Beaumont's 3000 cavalry, now disposable by the pacification of Styria.
The destruction of forty mills which supplied the city of Vienna with bread is evidence of the hatred of the princes of the house of Lorraine to that city.
FOURTEENTH BULLETIN.
Ebersdorf, June 1, 1809.
The bridges on the Danube are entirely rebuilt. They have added to them a flying bridge, and they are
preparing all the materials necessary for throwing over another bridge of rafts. Seven machines are driving piles; but the Danube being in several places 24 and 26 feet deep, much time is always taken up in fixing the anchors as the machines are removed. The works however are advancing, and will shortly be finished.
The brigadier general of engineers, Dazowski, is working on the left bank, on the head of a brigade which will be 1600 toises in extent, and will be covered with a good ditch, filled with running water.
The 4th crew of the flotilla of Boulogne, commanded by captain Baie has arrived.—A great number of boats cruise about the islands and over the bridge, and render a variety of services.
The battalion of navy workmen is employed in making small armed vessels, which will serve to command the river perfectly.
After the defeat of the corps of general Jellachich, M. Mathieu, an officer attached to the staff of Italy, was sent with a dragoon express on the road to Salzburg; having met in succession with a column of 2000 landwehr who were wounded and straggling, summoned them to surrender, and they laid down their arms.
Lauriston, general of division, arrived at Oldenburg, the first county of Hungary, with a strong advanced guard. It appears that there is some commotion in Hungary, that the minds of the people are very much divided, and that the majority is not in favor of Austria.
Lafelle, general of division, has his head quarters opposite Presburg, and has advanced his posts to Altenburg, and near to Raab.
Three divisions of the army of Italy have arrived at Neustadt. The viceroy has been for two days at the head quarters of the emperor.
Gen. Mcdonald, commander of one of the corps of the army of Italy, has entered Gratz, (within 80 miles of Vienna.) The found in the capital of Styria immense magazines of provision and clothing, and equipments of every sort.
The duke of Dantick (Lefebvre) is at Lintz. The prince of Ponte Corvo, (Bernadotte) is marching for Vienna. Vandamme, general of division, with the Wurtembergers, is at St. Bolten, Mautern and Krems.
Tranquility prevails in the Tyrol. Cut off by the movements of the duke of Dantick and of the army of Italy, all the Austrians, who had imprudently engaged in this point, have been destroyed, partly by the duke of Dantick; and the rest, such as the corps of Jellachich, by the army of Italy. Those who were in Suabia had no other resource but to attempt in parties to traverse Germany on their way to the Upper Palatinate. They formed a small column of infantry and cavalry who escaped from Lintz, and was met by col. Reiset, of Gen. Beaumont's corps of observation. The column was cut off at Neumark and the whole body, officers and soldiers, laid down their arms.
Vienna is quiet—bread and wine are abundant, but meat, which this capital gets from the interior of Hungary, begins to grow scarce. Contrary to all reasons of policy and humanity, the enemy do every thing to starve their countrymen, and this city, which contains their wives and children. This conduct is very different from that of our Henry IV. who himself supplied an enemy city he was besieging.
The duke of Montebello (Lannes) died yesterday, at 5 o'clock in the morning. Some time before the emperor conferred an hour with him. His majesty sent, by gen. Rapp his aid-de-camp, for Dr. Franc, one of the most celebrated physicians of Europe. His wounds were in good condition; but a destructive fever had made the most injurious progress in a few hours. All the aid of the art was unavailing. His majesty ordered the body of the duke of Montebello to be embalmed and carried to France, to receive the honours due to his high rank and eminent services. Thus has departed one of the most distinguished soldiers that France has had.—In the numerous battles he had been in, he had received 13 wounds. The emperor has shown great sensibility on this loss, which will be felt by all Frenchmen.

Ebersdorf, June 2.
The army of Dalmatia has gained the greatest success. It has defeated every thing that opposed it at Mont-Kita, Gradatz, Liech, and Otaczatz. The commander in chief, Slobodovich, was taken. The duke of Ragusa (Marmont) arrived on the 28th (May) at Fiume, and formed a junction with the grand army of which the army of Dalmatia was the right extreme. (We will make known the relations of the duke of Ragusa on these events.)
On the 28th an English squadron of four ships of the line, two frigates, and a brig appeared before Trieste, with the intention of taking the Russian squadron. The general count Caffarelli (a distinguished engineer) had just arrived then. As the city had no cannon, the Russians landed twenty four thirty-sixes, and sixteen twenty fours, and fixed them in battery, and immediately clapped springs on their cables. Every thing was prepared to receive the enemy, who having missed his aim retired. One thousand Austrians who had passed from Crens to the right bank of the Danube were defeated by the Württemberg corps, who made sixty prisoners.
SIXTEENTH BULLETIN.
Ebersdorf, June 4.
The enemy had thrown a division of 9000 men on the right bank of the Danube, opposite Presburg, which was entrenched in the village of Engerau. The duke of Auerstadt (Davoust) ordered the riflemen (tirailleurs) of Hesse Darmstadt, supported by the 12th of the line (infantry) to attack it yesterday. The village was soon carried. A major, 8 officers of the regiment of Beaulieu (among them the grandson of that field marshal) and 400 men were taken. The rest of the regiment were killed wounded, or driven into the water. The remainder of the division secured themselves in an island till they could repass the river. The riflemen of Hesse Darmstadt fought well.
The viceroy's head quarters are this day at Oedenburg.
The most valuable effects of the court, have been removed from Buda to Peterawadin whither the express is retired.
The duke Ragusa (Marmont) is arrived at Labach.
Gen. Macdonald is master of Gratz. He is surrounding the citadel, which makes a show of resistance.
At the battle Essling the brigadier Foulers being wounded, was thrown from his horse; and major gen. Durosels one of the emperor's aids, while carrying orders to a division of cuirassiers, who were charging, was also thrown. We have the satisfaction of learning that these two generals and 150 men that we supposed lost, are only wounded, and were found on the field, when the emperor gave orders to concentrate between Essling and Gross Aspern, on hearing that the bridges of the Danube had given way.
The Danube is lowering; though from the continuation of the heats, a rise is feared.
From the army of the grand duchy of Warsaw.
After the capture of the bridge of Gora, the enemy having abandoned the right bank of the Vistula, the army under command of prince Poniatowski was divided into two columns; the first ascending the Vistula to Pulaw, the other marching to Kock; on the 14th, Poniatowski entered Lublin & the next day marched for Sandomir. Part of the army entered Pizerworski, and cut off the communication between Lemberg and Cracow.
General Rozniececki with 400 cavalry, took 710 prisoners, comprising a major and 9 other officers; also sundry arms, shoes and clothing.
Poniatowski, succeeded in an attack on Sandomir, which was stronger fortified. The enemy lost 1000 men killed, 1200 prisoners, 20 cannon, and considerable stores. Poniatowski's cavalry, extending to Leopold, is pushing on to Cracow. They have set free 3000 men who had been enlisted by force.
The Gallicians daily testify the hatred they bear the Austrians. Gen. Dombrowski has every where repulsed the enemy on the lower Vistula.
On the 14th Thorn was attacked. The tete-de-pond was not in a state of defence.—The garrison burnt that part of the bridge which communicated with it, and took position on the island. This movement was made after an affair every way destructive to the enemy, who not being able to pass the river, gave up the enterprise when he saw the good appearance of the city.
On the 15, the enemy, under Plock, attempted the passage of the Vistula, but were repulsed, and obliged to burn their boats.
From the 16th to the 23rd, gen. Dombrowski attacked the enemy between Bromberg and Czutochow,
and repulsed them with effect before Bromberg, afforded full protection to Czutochow and Thorn, and secured the communication of this latter place with Inowracław.
ARMY OF ITALY.
PARIS, JUNE 2.
The viceroy, commander in chief, informs the minister at war of the progress of the operations of the army of Italy.
After the passage of the Tagliamento, and the advantages gained in the battle of St. Daniel, the rear guard of the enemy, which was continually pursued, sword in hand, was come up with at Venizons by our advanced guard, commanded by gen. Dessaix. It made a shew of resistance, but was soon defeated, and 450 prisoners were taken; among whom were several officers of the staff. Gen. Colloredo, who commanded it, was wounded in the thigh by a musket ball. Our loss consisted in 2 killed and 54 wounded.
The enemy had burnt all the bridges of the Fella; but this obstacle was surmounted. He had fortified himself at the foot of Malborghetto, and on Mount Predel. These positions were turned; the former under the fire of the fort, and without losing a single man; the latter through the vallies Roccolana and Dagua. The troops appointed to these movements met with the enemy at Tarvis, and carried that town at the first attack.
The fort of Malborghetto was cannonaded on the 17th, from five in the morning until half after 9; the assault was then ordered.—In one half hour all the palisades were attacked and carried at once, and the enemy pursued and driven with great slaughter into his last entrenchments. He left 300 men dead on the spot, and 350 were made prisoners.—Two howitzers, five pieces of 3, one of 6, and three of 12, and considerable magazines, were taken. The capture of this fort, which was called the Altopo of Carinthia, cost us only 80 men in killed and wounded. The small number of wounded is to be attributed to the rapidity with which our troops rushed forward. The prince viceroy praises general Grenier, who directed every thing under his orders; general Durettes, and general Paithad, who first entered the enemy's entrenchments; the chief of battalion, Ameretti, who was wounded; and captain Gerin, of the artillery. The grenadiers and voltigeurs of the 1st line, of the 52d, 62d, and 102d, particularly distinguished themselves. On the same day, and immediately after the taking of the fort of Malborghetto, the prince viceroy marched upon Tarvis where a new victory crowned the work of the day. The enemy was posted on the other side of the narrow and deep valley through which the Schletza flows, occupying with five regiments of the line and several battalions of Cretens, a double line of redoubts raised one above another, and furnished with 21 pieces of cannon. In his rear was seen a numerous cavalry. These corps were commanded by the generals Guidari and Fremont.
Our advanced guard, supported by the brigades Abbe and Valentin, attacked the front, and the division of Fantanelli, the left of the enemy.—This division, which had not yet received its artillery, was not restrained by the fire of the enemy's batteries, to which it only answered by founding the charge, and overthrowing with the bayonet every thing which stood before it. The enemy fled in the greatest disorder, and the advanced guard rendered the rout complete. He left on the field of battle a great number of dead; 3000 were made prisoners, and 17 pieces of cannon taken. We lost, in killed and wounded, only 200 men.
The artillery of the army, as well as the division of Serras, were detained by the fort of Predel. The viceroy ordered gen. Grenier to advance with three battalions and 2 pieces of cannon into the valley of Raibell, to attack the fort in the rear, which gen. Serras, who had been informed of this movement, attacked in front. In a quarter of an hour the fort was carried, and all who were within the palisades put to the sword. Of 400 men of which the garrison consisted, only two escaped. Eight pieces of cannon were found in the fort.
On the 19th, 20th, and 21st, the army from Tarvis arrived at Villach, Klagenfurt, and Saint Weit.
On the 22d, 23d, and 24th, it entered Freifach, Ungmarkt, and Knettsfeld.
The right wing of the army commanded by gen. Macdonald, and consisting of the divisions of Broussier and Lamarque, and of the division of dragoons of Pully, had been directed upon Goritz. It passed the Isonzo on the 14th, and on the 15th took a position beyond Goritz.—Eleven pieces of cannon, two mortars, and several carriages for artillery, were taken at Goritz.
On the 17th, the division of Broussier forced the enemy before Prevald, and obliged him to retire precipitately upon Laybach.—The division of Lamarque, which marched by the roads of Puderay, every where defeated the enemy in the passes, and made 400 prisoners, among whom were one colonel and 15 officers, and took one piece of cannon.
On the 18th, gen. Schiltz entered Trielle, and made on his march between 4 and 500 prisoners. On the 20th, general Broussier summoned the fort of Prevald, which capitulated; 2,000 men laid down their arms; 15 pieces of cannon, and considerable magazines of provisions and ammunition were taken.
On the 21st the forts of Laybach were reconnoitered, and closely invested. General Macdonald appointed gen. Lamarque to the attack of the left, and gen. Broussier to that of the right. The cavalry was disposed in such a manner as to cut off the retreat of the enemy. On the same day, in the evening, these forts, which have cost enormous sums to Austria, offered to capitulate. The generals Giulai and Zach, on seeing the dispositions for attack, made their escape with some hundreds of men. One lt. general, one colonel, three majors, 1,310 officers, and 4,000 men, laid down their arms. There were found in the forts and in the intrenched camp, 65 pieces of artillery, 4 standards, 8,000 muskets, and considerable magazines.
When the army of Italy arrived at Knittelfeld, the prince viceroy was informed that the remains of the corps of general Jellachich, escaped from the army of Germany, had been joined at Rotenmalm by different battalions from the interior, and forming a corps of seven or eight thousand men, and were on their way to Leoben. The division of Serras received orders to make forced marches to arrive before him at the branching off of the roads. On the 25th, at nine in the morning, the advanced guard met with the enemy, who debouched by the road of Maultern. The enemy formed in the advantageous position of St. Michael with his right, and supported by steep mountains, his left on the Muhr, and his centre occupying a raised plain of difficult access. Gen. Serras was charged with the attack of the front, with a brigade of his division and a brigade of the division of Dunette, commanded by general Valentin. He had in the rear of his line the 9th and 6th horse chasseurs, commanded by colonels Triare and De la Croix, aids-de-camp of the prince; gen. Dunette was in the reserve with the rest of his division.—About two the attack commenced along the whole line; the enemy were every where defeated; the plain was carried and the cavalry completed the rout. Eight hundred Austrians remained in the field of battle, 1,200 wounded, and 4,200 among whom are 70 officers, were made prisoners. Two pieces of cannon and one standard was taken. Gen. Jellachich, with the other generals, and sixty dragoons, fled at full gallop. Gen. Serras, at six in the evening, entered Leoben, where he made 600 prisoners. Nearly the same number made their escape into the mountains, after having thrown away their arms. Thus all that remained of the corps of Jellachich were destroyed this day. The prince highly commends the behaviour of the generals and several officers, among others lieutenant Burgois, of 102d, who with four horse chasseurs, and eight infantry, made 600 prisoners.
On the next day, the 26th at noon, the army of Italy arrived at Bruck, where it effected a junction with gen. Lauriston, and the army of Germany.
IMPERIAL HEAD QUARTERS.
Schoenbrunn, May 15.
HUNGARIANS.—The Emperor of Austria, unmindful of his treaties, and regardless of the magnanimity I have shewed towards him after three successive wars, and especially that of 1805, has attacked my armies; I have faced him—and God, who gives victory, and punishes the ungrateful and faithless, has been pleased to grant victory to my arms. I have entered the Austrian capital, and am on your frontiers; it is the emperor of Austria and not the King of Hungary that has declared war against me. According to your constitution, he could not do it without your consent: your system, which has ever been defensive and the measures you have taken at the last diet, has proved, to my satisfaction, that you were for the preservation of peace.
Hungarians.—The moment has arrived for you to obtain your independence. I offer you peace, the inviolability of your territories, your liberty, your constitution such as it is now, or modified by you whenever you shall think it necessary, or when the spirit of the times and the interests of your fellow citizens shall require it.—I ask nothing of you; my desire only is
to see you a free and independent people.
Your union with Austria is the source of all your misfortunes; and for it your blood has flown in distant countries, your interests sacrificed for those of hereditary possessors, you were the finest part of herself, and still treated as a colony! which gave rise to quarrels, whose source to you was unknown. You have a national character, a language solely your own; you boast with justice of an old and glorious ancestry; procure to yourselves again your rank as a nation; be what you were formerly, give yourself a king who shall owe his dignity to your suffrages, who will reign for you only, and live among you, who shall be surrounded by your citizens and soldiers.
Hungarians! the eyes of all Europe are fixed on you, who demand this of you; all that I ask of you is a constant peace, and commercial relations with me, for which I guarantee to you your independence, the greatest of all blessings that await you, provided you are worthy of your forefathers, and true to yourselves.
You will not disregard this magnanimous offer and be lavish in spilling your precious blood, for weak princes, who are under the controul of unprincipled or bribed ministers, and to whom England gave her gold; this enemy of the continent, who has established her riches and prosperity upon monopoly and our differences.
Convoke a national diet upon the field of Rakos, after the manner of your forefathers; and acquaint me with your determination.

ROUEN, May 16.
The following advertisement has been published here:—"A considerable number of Austrian prisoners of war being arrived in France, his majesty is desirous, that far from being a burthen to the state, this circumstance may be a means of giving a fresh activity to the manufactures, and supply the wants of agriculture. There shall be placed successively at the disposition of the prefect, 200 prisoners, who shall be sent into this department in detachments of 50 men. The agriculturalists and manufacturers who should desire to obtain some of those prisoners, will present themselves to the mayor of the commune, who will receive their declaration as to the number they are able to employ.—The Austrians are laborious and docile; and the manufacturers and cultivators who may employ them, cannot but be well pleased with them."
PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 1.
Latest from SPAIN.
Yesterday arrived the ship Bramin, Singleton, in 50 days from Cadiz. By this arrival we have received from our correspondent, Cadiz papers to the 7th June. Gibraltar papers to the 3d June, & Seville Gazettes to the 29th May.—From these papers we have made some extracts. Captain Singleton states that the French were leaving Spain as fast as they could, the patriots being every where victorious.
On the 5th June, a British convoy arrived at Cadiz from Lisbon, to take on board 30,000 sheep, a present from the Spanish Junta to the king of England.
The British Orders in Council of April, 26, and the President's Proclamation dated April 19, were published in the Gibraltar papers.
A Cadiz extra Gazette of June 2 gives an account of great successes in Arragon. The inhabitants had risen in a body and cut off a small division of the French. After this a division of 1500, determined to revenge themselves on the inhabitants, marched to Monleon, where they were met by Gen. Blake, with an inferior force. He however completely repulsed them, and forced them to an inglorious retreat.
SEVILLE, MAY 15.
Lieut. Gen. the Marquis de Coupigny, upon sending, on the 23d of last month, an account of the death of D. Teodoro Reding, commander in chief of the Army of Catalonia, expressed himself to the following purpose:
"Sinking under the load of business, exhausted with excessive fatigue, grieved to the very heart at the incessant and urgent wants of the army under his command, and full of zeal for the cause which he so heroically defended, Gen. Reding breathed his last this morning, leaving to his cotemporaries, examples of a bravery seldom equalled, and to posterity, a name which future ages will not easily forget. The brother at arms of so deserving an officer, my grief must have been, and actually is more poignant than that of any body else, as I feel his loss the more severely from remembering the many times that I attended him to the field of battle, and my having shared the laurels with which he was crowned in his last moments."
Government have resolved to give to the public, this eulogy which does equal honor to him upon whom it is bestowed and to him who bestows it; until they have collected the particulars of
the services rendered to the nation by the illustrious Reding, and be merely enabled to present to them a pattern of the civil and military virtues, the imitation of which ought to be the object of our Warriors, if they aspire to hold, like him, a conspicuous rank among the Heroes of the Country.
MAY 22.
It is positive that the French army of Estramadura has left the banks of the Guadiana, and proceeded to cross the Tagus at Alcantara. This town was attacked on the 14th inst by a division of from 10 to 12000 men, supposed to have been commanded by Marshal Victor in person. The town was defended only by one battalion of the Loyal Lusitanian Legion and the Regiment of Militia of Idanha nova, with 6 pieces of ordnance, and fifty horse of the Eleventh, the whole under the orders of Colonel Mayne of the said Loyal Legion and making up rather less than eighteen hundred men. This brave garrison, which had already opposed the enemy's progress in Brofias, where it had its posts, succeeded in defending the bridge upwards of 6 hours and withdrawing to Rosmaninhal in the enemy's presence, and in spite of the great superiority of their Cavalry. It is true, that it sustained some loss, but the whole of its artillery was saved. Major Grant of the same Legion entitled himself to the highest praise by his conduct in that action.
Extract of a letter from an Officer who was engaged in the action of Alcantara, dated, May 14, at night, from a field near Alcantara.
This morning, at 8 o'clock, three of the enemy's Columns, with Artillery and Cavalry, made a furious attack upon our position on the height in front of this town. The small force under the orders of the gallant Colonel Mayne, of the Loyal Lusitanian Legion, (Governor) consisted of 1200 men of the Regiment of Idanha, and 600 of the first Division of the Loyal Lusitanian Legion, with 6 pieces of ordnance. The enemy were 10,000 foot and 1,500 horse strong, and had 12 field pieces. Our Artillery and Infantry fought with such fury, and such incredible vigor, until sun-set, that they maintained the pass against all the attacks of the enemy, notwithstanding their excessive superiority. As the whole of their troops were engaged, they kept up a most tremendous fire.—We sustained some loss; but it was trifling in comparison of the enemy's which amounted to 1200 men.
The intrepid Lieut. Colonel Grant (second in command,) who had been wounded in a previous affair, for he never turns his back, gave with his usual bravery, the most effectual assistance to the acting Colonel Mayne, who was thereby enabled to make a most orderly retreat, saving the whole of the artillery.
The Enemy's Cavalry pursued us in the evening; but, in consequence of the able dispositions of our Commandants, they have not been able to retard our march as they expected, and still less to prevent our taking care of the wounded, or collection the stragglers.
It is impossible for me adequately to praise the intrepidity and unrivaled conduct of the Officers and Men. There is no occasion to mention the innate sang froid, bravery and prudence of the Subjects of His Britannic Majesty, and which shone with so much lustre in Colonel Mayne and Lieutenant Colonel Grant, since it is known by experience, that the English do not fight like men but like lions. I will conclude by stating, that all the individuals of the Loyal Lusitanian Legion, without exception, fought like men worthy of the name of Soldiers. The fame ought to be said of the Regiment of Idanha. If you had been present at this glorious action, you would have seen an infernal fire.
We have lost Captain Valente, &c. The number of men missing, amounted to 200, most of whom were dispersed, and are now joining.
If, it appears to be the cause, Victor has made this attempt to disengage Soult, by making a diversion in his favor, he came to that determination too late and at an unseasonable juncture. Every thing concurs to prove, that the French proceed without due deliberation, and that their last movements in the Peninsula have been directed by a spirit of error and madness, and are not the consequences of a regular plan.
The bravery of those 1800 Portuguese in the battle of Alcantara will be recorded with distinction, in the page of history; nor does it fall short of the most brilliant exploits of our ancestors.
Official accounts have been received from Badajoz, under date 17th, of General Cuesta's Advanced Guard having reached Merida on the 16th, and summoned the French who had remained there to surrender immediately; but, the latter trucking to the entrenchments they have thrown up, and intending to defend themselves, the Spanish Commandant had sent to

General Cuesta, with the remainder of his army, was following the Advanced Guard; and, if Marshal Victor does not hasten to retire, he must naturally undergo the same fate that Marshal Soult must have undergone by this time.
MAY 29. We have beaten Soult and his army entirely. His loss is 4,000 men surrendered to us, with all his train of artillery. Soult was taken prisoner in a village of Gallacia a few hours after the surrender of his army. This is official. It is also true, that the mock King Joseph has left Madrid and fled to the Monastery of Labrador in Aranjuez, and it is said had stripped that city of all its valuables.
Romana has beaten a division of Ney's army and taken Ferrol. The duke del Parque is in Salamanca with 15,000 men. Corunna alone remains in possession of the French.
Portsmouth. TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1809. BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL. VERY LATE FROM FRANCE. Arrival of the Mentor.
On Tuesday evening last arrived at New-York, the dispatch ship Mentor, Capt. Ward, in the remarkably short passage of 24 days from L'Orient, which place she left on the 6th of July.
Mr. Maliby Gelson is the bearer of Dispatches for Government, and proceeds to Washington this morning, (4th inst.)
The dates from the French army in Germany are the 24th of June and comprise the 22d bulletin, at which time the Emperor Napoleon had his head-quarters at Vienna. We learn verbally, that no battle had taken place between the French and Austrian Grand Armies since the 21st and 22d of May; but that both the Emperor of France and the Archduke Charles were reinforcing and concentrating their armies; and that a great battle was shortly expected to take place.
We further learn that the Emperor of Russia had sent three large armies to assist the Emperor Napoleon, one of which was commanded by the Prince Suwaroff, and that they were marching through Galicia on their way to the French army. Prussia had not declared against France.
Col. Burr had arrived at Stockholm, from England.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND. The brig Statira, Capt. Gerr, arrived at New-York on Thursday last (Aug. 3) in 40 days from London, which place she left on the 1st of June.
By the Statira we learn, that the British Minister (Mr. Jackson) had not failed for America; but that he was about sailing in a loop of war for America. The Phenix frigate was ordered for some other service. A great number of American vessels have arrived in British ports. The Statira is the bearer of dispatches from the American Minister in London to the government of the U. States.
Almost every mail furnishes some new evidence of the pernicious tendencies and effects of our BANKING SYSTEM, under its present organization. The Bank Fever has been more mischievous to the merchant than embargo, to the agriculturist than blast and mildew. Being composed of individuals, associated for the special purpose of making gain, from loans, &c. no wonder the management of their concerns is entrusted to such men as they well know would connive at any little transgression of their charter, for the interest of the concerned. The provision of incorporation, limiting the emission of bills to a certain per centum on the capital stock, is a mere nullity—or worse. From the restrictions imposed, on the paper of their charter, upon banking companies, the public, relying on their good faith, and the fidelity of their servants, give currency to whatever amount they may choose to emit—Who ever examines their vaults—or can ascertain the proportion of their deposits to the bills in circulation? Their books are not subject to the scrutiny of every curious eye. It is the duty of the legislature to institute annual and critical investigations of the state of the different banks, and to annul every charter which shall have been violated. If ever a scrutiny does take place, or any attempt is made to renovate the present defective system, the great number of those who are interested to perpetuate it, overwhelm complaint, and defeat any salutary amendment. And even if detected in violation of compact, when has any bank been deprived of its charter, or any proceeds followed, to deter others from similar violations? Shall we suspect our legislators of collusion with the offenders, of participation in their iniquity, or a shameful abandonment of those rights and interests of which they have been constituted the guardians?
Although some of our banking corporations may transact their business fairly and honorably, I believe there are very many exceptions; and that in too many instances impositions are practiced, and pass unnoticed, for which an individual should be kicked from society. I can perceive no reason why an incorporation should sanctify villainies of which most of the members would blush even to be suspected. It cannot excuse them to say their agent only is culpable. Nothing of importance is transacted without consultation of the fraternity—and if they do not order or recommend the various evasions practiced to delay payment of their notes, when presented, and embarrass the holders of them, they tacitly approve by suffering them to pass without reprimand.
I am sensible that banks, upon a well regulated principle, would be of general utility—but I know that under the present regulation, they are the greatest curse we suffer. The unguarded manner in which charters are granted, and the little attention to prevent or punish violation, and the examples we have had, that villains may ef-
the public of hundreds of thousands of dollars, invite to a further extension of crime, and grounds a hope for similar indulgence. But the evils connected with our banking system, resulting in part from the great number of banks, in every section of the country, have produced more complaint than even the mismanagement in the banks. Every town has its nuisance, and in one shape or another haunts every city and hamlet. We are overwhelmed with bills of every description, and we have plenty of cormorants fishing in the streams of corruption to which this crooked and corrupt policy gives rise. Boston, ever notorious for its assumption of prerogative to control not only Massachusetts, but New-England, has been peculiarly productive. As if the public were pleased to be fleeced by peculation & fraud, a host of Brokers in that metropolis, have associated, (for the purpose of helping each other to a fortune, of which they have good prospect, if their infamous practices be not arrested by some legislative corrective) for speculation on public credulity. Some bank at a distance from Boston, is marked as a proper object, and a hue and cry is raised, that such a bank refuses or delays to pay its bills. Immediately G & D or some other disinterested person come forward, and generously offer to purchase the bills of that bank at 4 or 6 to 20 per cent discount. They feel a sympathy for the poor laborer and mechanic who are likely to suffer from the depreciation of the little money they may chance to have laid by for some emergency, are willing to relieve them, in part, of their misfortune, and will give them a little more than half price for the money they have earned by indefatigable toil for the support of a beloved and helpless family solely dependent on their industry. Thousands of dollars are distributed in the hands of people really poor—they want every dollar of their earnings for their daily subsistence—alarm has taken possession of the public mind—chicanery has arrested the circulation of their money in the market—What can be done? They are compelled to avail themselves of the liberality of the very men who have brought the evil upon them, and to accept the pittance of those who are thus swindling them of their living.
Berkshire, Vermont and Penobscot Banks have successively been attacked—by each speculators have acquired the wages of iniquity. Penobscot is now current—Vermont cannot long be depressed, and probably Berkshire will soon regain its credit. Within a few days Coos Bank is the object of speculation. The first denunciation usually reaches us in Boston papers—"Tickets and Quarters for Coos bills," is the signal—then "English goods for Coos bills," completely checks their currency. The holders of such bills are panic struck—and do not penetrate the artifice till they are gulled out of their money for that which is not bread, and perhaps for that which profits not. If these bills were worthless, would these men be so eager to purchase them? Would they risk thousands of dollars on entire uncertainty? Unless they had assurance of their redemption would they dispose of their goods in exchange for them—and especially Lottery Tickets, which are considered as cash articles? The readiness with which such money is received, furnishes conclusive evidence of the villainy practiced on the public by these disinterested, generous and honorable REGULATORS. These gentlemen avail themselves of the credulity, Burroughs & Co. of the ignorance of the public—and have corresponding claims to the most conspicuous niche in the temple of infamy.
Baltimore, May 27. Ar. Sch. Nymph, Raredon 17 days from St. Barts. coffee and molasses—W's at Port Royal, Martinique, was permitted to land nothing but flour, sailed from thence 3d July. Left a number of Americans, who are obliged when once they come to an anchor to sell part of their cargo at any price to pay the enormous port charges, and as nothing but flour, lumber and fish will be admitted several masters of vessels were obliged to apply to such as would advance them money on their notes to pay those charges.
If any master of a vessel in the harbour attempts to board a vessel coming in he is fired at—first shot 1 dollar, 2 for the second and increasing in that proportion. The reason of thus firing, is to prevent information, to those coming in of the heavy charges which are made, and the sacrifices which must be made to obtain as much money as will pay them. Captain Raredon, for his fch. of 98 tons, would have had to pay 50 dollars merely for coming to an anchor; and in case he had landed none of his cargo.
On Thursday week, at Newark, in N. J. Mr. EDWARD BADGLEY, (who had been some time bordering on a state of derangement from deep concern of mind on religious subjects) hung himself; and same day his aged mother, at Elizabethton-Town, being abruptly informed of her son's unhappy death, fell in a swoon, and soon after expired.
THE Subscriber once more calls on all those indebted to the late firm of PIRCE & GARDNER, that an immediate settlement of all accounts is expected—he has taken a chamber in the same building with the Gazette Office, where he will tarry one month for the purpose of adjusting all debts and demands. Persons indebted will do well to call within the above mentioned time, if they would wish to avoid costs of suits—which would perhaps double the amount of their respective debts,—but those who refuse to comply with such a reasonable request, after having been called on for months, may expect to have costs of prosecution added. All who are unable to pay, will avoid trouble and expense by making it known.—It is to be wished that all concerned may hearken to a call which will in the end prove so much to their advantage.
