From the AURORA.
TORYISM.—Whatever may be the issue of the differences between this country and England, whether reparation shall be granted, or war become necessary to the vindication of our rights, the people of these states will have many reasons to congratulate themselves. The attack on the Chesapeake has opened the eyes of thousands, who were kept in delusion and ignorance by the partisans of the British government: it has exposed to America in a light more forcible than volumes of animadversion could have conveyed, the real character and views of a ministry, which has been held up to us as the only barrier of the world against tyranny and enslavement; it has separated the inhabitants of this country, into the old and only correct distinction of whigs and tories, and has enabled the true friend of his country to look around and count who are its enemies.
Grievous as the outrage has been, and burdensome as any resort to arms may become, the people of the union, have the great consolation and the incalculable benefit, that British influence in this country has received a blow of which it can never recover. The day is now passed, and it is with gladness we proclaim the fact, when the agency of England shall hold in trammels the faculties and energies of the American people. An influence, which has caused all the difficulties this young nation has experienced since its birth, which has kindled and kept alive the flames of dissension and animosity among our people, and which has been incessantly engaged in aspersing and ridiculing our institutions—is at length crushed, and by its own means.
Having the aid of secret service money, British influence has for fifteen years kept public prints in the constant practice of deluding our country, exciting hatred and jealousy of our best men, stirring up animosities against foreign nations, and of promoting internal treason.
Aided by an immense commercial intercourse, by the ability and readiness of British merchants and manufacturers to give long credits, and for large sums, the British agents in this country had converted our coffee houses and places of exchange into political club-rooms, where it was scarcely possible to doubt the purity of the British ministry without exposure to abuse and insult; and where our own government was the constant object of crimination and ridicule.
Nothing, in fact, saved this country some time ago from an alliance with England, and a dependence upon her caprices and interests; nothing saved us from the fate of those nations of Europe, which have been ruined by their connexion with her; nothing frustrated these objects of British influence: the honest farming interest, and particularly that of the south.
It must be a subject, therefore, of heartfelt pleasure, to witness the overthrow of an influence, which was growing with our commercial growth, and which must in the end have produced the greatest calamities to the union. As was the case in Tuscany, Holland, Genoa, Spain, Denmark, and Turkey, we were alternately bullied and duped by British agents—ministers and consuls employed themselves in exciting dissensions, and inculcating dependence upon England. Tuscany submitted, and was ruined; Genoa and Holland had commerce, and therefore they were ruined; Spain was plundered, at the very moment the British ministry were pretending to make peace; Denmark was attacked in as perfidious a manner, and the treachery to the Turks was beyond all parallel. The Emissaries of England had taught her to look for obedience from us; the British prints in the sea ports spoke the language of masters, and the coffee houses laughed at the idea of resisting whatever Britain might dictate. The event has opened their eyes, however, to a truth they never expected; among the very men, whom they counted their partisans they find warm friends of the country—the world is informed, that the people of America will not be duped or frightened by any nation whatever, and that it will resist injustice and aggression at any hazard.
We have said, that the late outrage has divided the inhabitants of this country, into the only true parties, the whigs and tories:—Respecting exter-
nal affairs there is no other division, there is no other party. There is no nation on earth but Britain that has a faction in this country, devoted to its interests and acting under its influence. That faction recent events have proved equally small as despicable. The causes of its existence are obvious—no other nation but Britain has ever been at war with us; no other nation is so much interested in our ruin or so much exposed to injury by our prosperity—it is the only nation which has had hirelings amongst us, who avowed their allegiance—it never will forgive our emancipation from its yoke, and our commercial progress has added to its original hatred—it had a tory faction during our struggle for independence, and whoever was or would have been a tory then, can scarcely be any thing else now.
That this faction does exist, there is not a man in the country that can doubt, who has access to such papers as the Repository and Gazette of Boston, the Post of New York, and the U. States Gazette of Philadelphia—the conduct they have pursued, since the attack upon the Chesapeake, is not that of a federal party, because the greatest part of the federal men and federal prints, to their honor be it said, are indignant at the conduct of the British government, and are willing to give the government of this country their support—but it is the conduct of devoted agents of Britain, it is the conduct which the British ministry themselves would have recommended, and which they will unquestionably approve.
An honest zeal for the country would have produced oblivion of internal differences, and would have inculcated a cessation of abuse and ridicule of the government and its measures; but these prints seem to have acquired greater virulence and animosity, their abuse is levelled at the administration of the union alone, and they have palliated and softened as much as their ingenuity would admit, an outrage, that no honest man in the country can ever forget, that ought not and will not be forgiven until the full measure of satisfaction and atonement shall be made.
At first, we were told the outrage could not have been authorised—but the instructions of Berkeley drove them from that ground: then it was said that Berkeley could have had no orders: but the advices from England of general orders to take from an American public ship, men alleged to be deserters, silenced that plea also. Finding the voice of the nation strong and loud for vengeance, these prints attacked the government as the cause of all the mischief, for having no forts or fleets; they demanded why the country was not prepared, as if such declamation could apologise for the British treachery and outrage. They denounced forbearance, at the very moment that they declared the outrage unauthorised; and now that they find it authorised, they are preaching up the direful consequences of war, protesting against hostilities and calculating the benefits of submission and the costs of an adherence to the demand for reparation.
None but tories, and the agents of Britain, would have had the boldness or would have dared to utter such sentiments as those of the Repository and Gazette of Boston—they are as strongly marked with British influence and corruption, as if signed by the British consul. These prints wished to force the government into hasty and rash measures, to induce it to abandon negotiation, that it might be brought into contempt by them afterwards; but finding the government had taken the manly and honorable determination to demand redress in the first instance, and that it was disposed to afford every opportunity to the British to avert war, their former ground is abandoned, and the cold calculations, so often spoken of as having governed the administration, are now made by its opponents. They have also endeavored to excite the prejudices and fears of the people, by holding up as dangerous and disgraceful an alliance with France—but the absurdity of this will defeat its purpose. The only questions are, who has done the injury? Will it be redressed? And, if not redressed, ought we tamely to pocket that and all former insults and injuries? These are the questions, that are to be answered. It is no reason for our submitting to all the sorts of degradation from England, that she is at war with France. If our being at war against England, in conjunction with all Europe, would be so grievous, why did England provoke us, and why does she not do us justice?
It is in her power to prevent a war, to prevent the pretended alliance with France, and to secure our friendship, the need not degrade herself nor do an injury to her honor, by doing us justice, and this is all that is required. We want no alliance with France, or any other power, but would not have the nation halt on its march to avenge manifest wrongs, because one of the consequences would be our being engaged in war with the nation which France is at war with. If such a non-sensical plea were to have force, we should be kicked about by one nation after another, without even daring to complain, or having the power to redress ourselves.
The public will not fail to remark, in all these clamors, and complaints, predictions and assertions, the direct agency of the government, with which we are in all probability already at war. The conduct of our government has commanded the approbation of every candid man of every party, but has been throughout censured and ridiculed by this tory faction. Such conduct may be continued with impunity, for the present, it does no injury to the nation, and only exhibits more clearly the danger of British influence; but the time may come and no doubt will come, when if government take notice of such traitorous proceedings, the public indignation will be aroused to crush these worst enemies of the freedom and happiness of America.
It is in vain for these hirelings to persevere in such conduct; they cannot rally under their banners, the great body of the federalists as they desire to do; let them acquaint their employers that the days of delusion are gone; however unpleasant the information may prove, and however disagreeable to lose the price of their useful labors, the British ministry must soon learn the one and stop the other; the manes of the murdered Americans are already in part appeased by the banishment of British influence from our shores, the effect to England and its faction in this country, will be disastrous, even if no war should ensue.
Federalists complain, that they are called old Tories because they wish to discuss the merits of the present dispute with England. This is not true. It is from the manner of this "discussion;" and from the fact, that they never trouble themselves in "discussing," except when England is in question, that their toryism is justly inferred. Had they been as moderate and as fond of discussion in respect to other nations, the matter would be very different. But the contrary is notoriously the fact. A month after the second bloody aggression of the British, federalists required more time to "discuss" the matter before they disapproved of British conduct; but no sooner had the late account of the seizure of arms by the Spaniards reached town, than these consistent fellows were perfectly decided in their opinions—not a single exhortation was then heard to keep cool and investigate the business—they cared not how soon the public mind was "inflamed" against Spaniards!
And yet these fellows claim to be grossly injured, when, with this fact and a thousand others more aggravated—with their barefaced apologies for Britain and crimination of our own government, before the eyes of the world—we accuse them of partiality to England—of Toryism !
[Boston Courier.]
In 1798, the Gazette , which is now conducted by Bronson, of Philadelphia, on the uniformly British principles of his predecessors, called upon government to send into the lines of the French, every man who did not put a black cockade in his hat and shout in support of an unnecessary and Bobadil warfare:—ought not our government, in case of a war with England, register the tories, old & young, the Parks, Bronsons, &c. and if not ship them to some British possession, at least prevent their mischievous intentions amongst us? In the event of hostilities, they will act as spies and informers, if we do not prevent them.—If transportation was right in 1798, when France had given no such provocation to war, as we have now had from the British, and when any honest minister might have adjusted the differences; transportation cannot be consistently objected to in 1807, especially by its former advocates.
[Aurora.]

THE QUESTION PLAINLY STATED; or, FEDERAL FALLACY EXPOSED.
THE British advocates in this country, have a happy facility in all political questions, to confound the public mind, by giving a wrong statement of the real question in controversy. While some are more open in their vindication of the late outrage than others, yet they all have a disposition to bewilder the citizens, by a pretended distinction between English and American seamen. They acknowledge that no real American ought to be impressed, and that the right of search should not extend to our ships of war: but readily admit that our merchantmen may be subject to this inspection of seamen. They exclaim, are we going to war to protect ALL seamen sailing under our flag, and thereby screen British murderers, renegades, mutineers, &c.? Thus by a general hue and cry against characters of this description, they attempt to deceive the citizens, by representing that war is to commence, not so much for our own protection, as for the security of murderers, mutineers, renegades, &c.
While these editors are thus making declarations of this fallacious nature, they know that no such objects are contemplated by the government. When we talk of American protection, we embrace the philanthropic idea that all naturalized seamen, enjoy equal rights with landmen. That within our territory, all men are entitled to peace, liberty and safety, while they conduct themselves agreeable to the laws of the United States. By American protection, we consider every man who enters on board a vessel as a sailor, as much entitled to security from personal outrage, as if he took lodgings in a tavern as a merchant. If a man arrives from England, and becomes a boarder in Boston, or lets himself out to service, has a captain of a man of war a right to send a boat on shore with orders to impress him into his service? Has an admiral a right to dispatch a body of sailors, headed by a midshipman, to go from house to house, and order the owner, or occupant, to parade all his servants, lodgers and domestics, to enable him to search for Englishmen? Would the magistrates suffer such an outrage to be committed, because the British commander thought fit to exercise his power in this illegal manner? Would the magistrates be intimidated from preventing the indignity to the government, even if the officer should alledge, that we were protecting mutineers or deserters; or should we suffer him to execute his purpose on the idea, that if we stopped him it would be considered as protecting such characters? Should we not rather in him, that if he had any specific command to make against any individual in his case, the magistrate would enable him to prosecute the delinquent? But, for a captain of a British ship of war to become Judge and Jury on a question of personal safety and protection, cannot be warranted, either by the law of nations or common sense.
This protection therefore, we contend, is the unalienable right of seamen, and unless we secure it to them, they will be constantly exposed to impressments. Americans may easily be mistaken for Englishmen, and every man knows, that by admitting this right of search, upwards of three thousand of our seamen are now on board of British vessels. By submitting to this imposition, the American sailors are in constant jeopardy of being dragged from their wives, children, and sweethearts, on board of ships of war. Their protections are often treated with the most wanton insolence. While therefore the federalists pretend to say, that this protection of Englishmen will injure them, we all know, that under the mask of searching for British sailors, the American gets frequently entrapped by the perfidy of some villain in the press gang. Besides, an American sailor feels an attachment to a brother, let him be born where he may, and he seems to partake of a right which is denied to his messmate.
To put this business on clear ground, we state, that if a mutineer, murderer, or a bonafide British seaman, who has voluntarily entered on board a British ship, and deserted, were known to be on board of a ship of war, or merchantman within any port of the United States, and the Consul could bring evidence before any Justice that they were guilty of the crimes alledged,—in that case, it would be proper that such persons should not be protected on board of our vessels. But we deny, that any power under heaven has a right to stop our vessels on the high seas—summon the whole crew to the inspection of a British officer, and without any other authority than mere "suspicion," impress the men into the service of a ship of war. To what lengths is the doctrine of suspicion to be carried? Is the landman to be murdered on suspicion, and the seaman to be impressed by the same authority? This right ought no more to be exercised with impunity on board of a vessel, than on the land. The press should be as much a protection to ALL within the ship, as the Lock to all within the house. An Englishman should be equally as free from insult and deprivation of personal liberty when on board of an American ship, as when within the kitchen or parlor of an American domicil. If he be a murderer, mutineer, or a deserter, he is liable to a prosecution by a legal process, and the laws of the country will give the prosecutor every legal indemnification. But no British officer has more right to take him by arms from on board a vessel on the high seas, than he has to take him from an Insurance Office on the Exchange. Our constitution and laws contemplate personal protection, and no man can be deprived of it without a violation of them, but by a legitimate process. The deprivation of personal liberty by an outrageous attack on the sovereignty of a nation, is a cause of war,—and heaven will approve the measure. We mean to say, that the American Flag must protect all sailing under it.

LATE AND IMPORTANT Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, JUNE 30. Yesterday the following mortifying and most disastrous intelligence was received from the continent:
ROYAL EXTRAORDINARY COURANT. "Hague, June 25.—We have received through various channels, the intelligence of an important victory obtained by the Grand Army over the Russians at Friedland, on the 14th inst. the anniversary of the famous battle of Marengo."
"On the 14th instant, the Emperor of the French made a general attack upon the Russian army in a manner peculiar to himself, and which has so often decided the fate of former battles. He out-flanked the enemy, who in spite of the most obstinate resistance, was defeated and put to flight."
"In a small space, ten Russian Generals were found killed and wounded in the midst of 3,000 of their soldiers in the same situation."
"The French pursue the enemy, who are compelled to leave a great number of killed and wounded behind them."
"According to the accounts received, we may assert it as a fact, that Konigsberg is in the hands of the French."
"The whole loss of the enemy amounts to 80 pieces of cannon taken; from 30 to 35,000 men killed, wounded and prisoners. Among the enemy's Generals killed, are Phalen and Markoff."
"Other accounts mention, that the Russians were totally defeated, with the loss of from 50,000 to 60,000 men, and ten Generals, amongst whom was General Bennigsen."
"The French have entered Konigsberg and Memel.—The battle was very bloody, and the loss of the French very considerable."
"There seems to be no reason whatever for doubting the truth of an account which appears in the Dutch Official Gazette, particularly when it is confirmed, at least to a great extent, by a paper so respectable as the Hamburg Correspondent. No official account, it would seem, had reached Hamburg, on the 20th, or the Hague on the 25th of this signal catastrophe. Those, therefore, in whose minds hope is more predominant than fear, may flatter themselves that things are not so bad as this imperfect statement would at first lead us to apprehend. But we should consider ourselves as dealing most unfairly indeed with the public, if we did not express a painful conviction that a battle has been fought which has completed the conquest of the Prussian monarchy, and overthrown the belt bulwark of the Russian Empire."
LONDON, JULY 1.—There was a good deal of speculation yesterday in town respecting the disastrous intelligence received from the Continent. It was said that there was an Amsterdam, and even a Hague paper of the 26th received, which contained no account of the victory announced in the Supplement Extraordinary to the Hague Courant of the 25th. Several people therefore became inclined to doubt the truth of the news, and Stocks rose a little. On the other hand, it was remarked, that there was no reason to believe that the Supplement to the Hague Courant was a forgery, and therefore the silence of the above papers of the 26th arose from their not having got a copy in time for their papers of the 26th, which, though of that date, contain no news later than the 25th. It is to be observed also that accounts had been received that there was a Bulletin circulated at Calais, on Friday, stating in substance, what appeared in the Hague Courant Extraordinary, and the news in the Hamburg Correspondent of the 20th, rendered it probable.
Upon the whole, it seems to be generally believed that a very important engagement was fought on the 14th, after a series of inferior conflicts, and to the advantage of the French. What may be the extent of the victory or the loss on either side, remains to be ascertained. If the account of the positions occupied by the French, be correct, the Russians must have been driven back, and the fall of Konigsberg would be the consequence. It is impossible, however, that the French can have reached Memel. Probably this day will bring further intelligence respecting a battle, which, if it has had the result stated by the enemy, puts an end to all hope of successful resistance upon the Continent to the power of BONAPARTE.
Letters have been received from the fleet under Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood, off Cadiz, dated about 12 days since, all which agree that the combined squadron, about 12 or thirteen sail of the line, are ready for sea, and it is supposed if our fleet were by accident driven off their station, they would endeavour to make a grand push out to get through the gut of Gibraltar, and endeavour to form a junction with the Carthagena or Toulon squadron, or perhaps with both. But Lord Collingwood is on the alert, and his triazing frigates form a line of communication from Cadiz Bay to his fleet in the offing, for the purpose of communicating information directly by the telegraphic signals.
The Court of Denmark, we are concerned to hear, has protested against the employ-
ment of a British Fleet in the Baltic; and has, it is added, declared, that she shall consider the appearance of a British line of battle ship in the sound, as a declaration of war. The extraordinary efforts which the Danes have lately made to place their marine in a condition of being sent to sea at a few hours notice, strengthen the reports in question.
OF AMERICA. Our Cabinet is not a little embarrassed with respect to our trade with America. The apprehension of hostilities with the United States is again strongly revived. Several American vessels are now detained under that impression by the owners of the cargoes. Yesterday an order was sent to the Custom-House, requiring an immediate return of the amount of the exports and imports relating to America.
JULY 2. By the mail from Tonnungen, a letter was yesterday received from Altona, written by the British Envoy Mr. Thornton, dated 23d June, containing the following important intelligence.—"Last night we were informed by an Emissary from Vienna, which place he left on the 17th, that the Turkish Emperor had been forced to resign his throne in favor of his Nephew, who is avowedly friendly to the English interest, and that all his Ministers had been murdered. What has brought about this sudden event, and what will be the ultimate effect, remains to be explained to us."
From FRENCH PAPERS, received at Belfort from Nantz. FRENCH GRAND ARMY BULLETIN.
No. 78, dated, Heilsberg, June 12, 1807. This Bulletin gives an account of the operations of Peace, made during the winter; and of their being interrupted by the attacks of the Russians.
ACTION OF SPANDEN. June 5th, the Russian army put several of its divisions in motion.—The right attacked the bridge head of Spanden, which Gen. Frere defended with the 27th regt. Twelve Russian regiments made vain efforts; they renewed them seven times, and seven times were repulsed.—In the mean time the Prince of Ponte-Corvo (Bernadotte) had assembled his troops, but before they could act, a charge of the 17th dragoons forced the enemy to retreat. Thus during a whole day, two divisions made repeated unsuccessful attacks on one regiment; but it must be owned this regiment was entrenched. In visiting the entrenchments between one of the attacks, Marshal Bernadotte was slightly wounded, which will render him unable to resume his command for a fortnight. Our loss is trifling. The enemy's 1200, and many wounded.
BATTLE OF LOMILTEN. Two Russian divisions from the centre, also attacked the bridge-head of Lomilten. Gen. Terry's brigade defended it.—Two regiments repulsed the enemy the whole day. The abbatis and works were covered with dead Russians. Their General was killed; and their loss 1100 killed, and 100 prisoners, and great numbers wounded.—We lost 120 men killed and wounded.
Mean while the Russian commander in chief (Bennigsen) with the imperial guards and three divisions, attacked Marshal Ney's position at Altkircken, Gutstadt, and Wolfsdorf, and were repulsed in all quarters; but when Marshal Ney discovered that his assailants exceeded 40,000 men, he obeyed his instructions, and led his corps to Acken-dorf.
BATTLE OF DEPPEN. June 6th, the enemy attacked the 6th corps at Deppen, on the Passarge.—They were overturned. The manoeuvres, talents and intrepidity of Marshal Ney, Gen. Marchand, and other officers, are worthy of the greatest eulogium. The enemy confesses the loss of 2000 killed, and 3000 wounded.—We had 160 killed, 200 wounded, and 270 prisoners, made by the Cossacks, who had posted themselves in the rear of the army.
AFFAIR OF THE 8TH. On the 8th the Emperor arrived at Deppen, and gave the necessary orders. The 4th corps moved to Wolfsdorf, where it met a Russian division, about to join the main army, attacked it, disabled 500 men, took 150, and in the evening took post at Altkircken.
At this moment the Emperor advanced on Gustadt, with Ney's and Lannes' corps, his guards, and the reserve of cavalry—Ten thousand cavalry, and 15,000 infantry, of the enemy's rear guard, took possession of Glottnu, and attempted to disperse the passage.—Marshal Murat, after some skillful manoeuvres, drove them from their positions, and the light cavalry and heavy dragoons triumphed over all the efforts of the enemy, and in the evening we entered Gustadt by force. One thousand prisoners, the possession of the positions before Gustadt, and the routing of the infantry, were the consequences of the day. The Russian horse guards were peculiarly severely handled.
AFFAIR OF THE 10TH.
June 10th, the army advanced towards Heilsberg, and carried several camps. The enemy's rear guard, of from 15 to 18,000 cavalry, and several lines of infantry, were formed at a mile's distance. The Spanish cuirassiers, and other corps, charged them, and gained ground. Two divisions of Marshal Soult's corps marched on the right, whilst Legrand's division marched on the left. The whole Russian army was at Heilsberg; they reinforced their advanced columns. More than 60 field pieces poured death, whilst they were thus supporting their columns, which our divisions drove back with the most undaunted courage and impetuosity. Several Russian divisions were routed, and at 9 P. M. we were under the enemy's entrenchments. Several divisions performed prodigies. Verdier's division cut off the enemy's retreat by Landsberg; and several companies went so far as to insult the Russians in their entrenchments.—Some brave men met death near the palisades.
The Emperor passed the 11th on the field of battle; making arrangements for a decisive action. The whole Russian army was assembled, and Heilsberg was full of stores, and rendered very strong. The Emperor ordered Davoust to form on the lower Alle, and cut off the road to Eylau. Each corps had its assigned post, and were all assembled, excepting the 1st which was on the Lower Passarge. Thus the Russians who had recommenced hostilities, found themselves blockaded. Battle was offered them: it was thought they would attack on the 11th, whilst the French army was forming; but instead of attacking, they began at night to cross to the right bank of the Alle, and gave up the whole country on their left, leaving their wounded at the mercy of the victor, as well as their magazines, and those entrenchments the fruit of so much arduous exertion.
On the 12th at day break, all the army was in motion. All the houses are filled with the Russian wounded. From the 5th to the 12th the enemy's army has been deprived of about 30,000 fighting men; they left in our hands from 3 to 4000 men; seven or eight pairs of colours, and 9 pieces of artillery; and, according to the accounts of deserters, several important Generals. Our loss is about 600 or 700 killed, 2000 or 2200 wounded, and 300 prisoners. A Spanish General is wounded. Gen. Rouille, of the Imperial guards had his head shot off; Marshal Murat had two horses killed under him; one of his aids (Seguin) lost an arm. Several other officers were wounded. We found in the magazines of Heilsberg several thousand quintals flour, and large quantities of provisions of various kinds.
The Emperor Alexander left his army some days before the campaign opened.
FRANCE. PARIS, JUNE 25, 1807.
GREAT BATTLE. Yesterday his Highness Prince Berghese, arrived at the palace of St. Cloud, and brought from the Emperor, to the Empress and Queen the news of a victory which, on the 14th of this month, was gained at Friedland (about 20 miles S. of Konigsberg) by the Grand Army, commanded by the Emperor in person. The following particulars were given at Head-Quarters, and which we are authorised to repeat, while we are waiting for the official bulletin:—
"The French army has worthily celebrated the 14th June, the anniversary of the battle of Marengo.—The battle of Friedland will be celebrated in history.—The Russian army, out-manoeuvred, its centre penetrated, cut off from its magazines, has been completely beaten. Eighty pieces of cannon taken, 25 to 30,000 Russians taken, killed, or drowned in the Alle, are the results of this memorable day. Thirty Russian Generals have been killed, taken, or severely wounded. The bodies of several Generals were found dead on the field of battle; and it is worthy of remark, that among them were the bodies of Generals Pahlen and Markoff, two of the first instigators of the faction devoted to England. The regularity of our dispositions, the intrepidity of our troops, have greatly diminished the loss of the French army, which is not considerable."
The Gazette de France, says, "In addition to the 78th Bulletin, we learn, that on the 13th June the Head Quarters of the Grand Army was at Prussian Eylau; that the army, in two columns, was marching on to Konigsberg; and that the advanced guards were at the gates of that city;—That the Russian army could not sustain an attack in any part; in that it was overwhelmed and dispersed in such a manner, as to render it impossible for them to reunite.—According to other reports, the French were already in Konigsberg, where they entered pell-mell with the Russians.—But this last news needs confirmation."
The Courier de l'Europe, says, "We announce this day (June 25) that Konigsberg is in the power of the French."
AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JUNE 10.
Accounts from Turkey state, that the H. Q. of the Grand Vizier continued at Adrianople; but he had summoned a council of war to assemble at Schuma. The reports of battles between the Turks and Russians are not confirmed; nor does it appear that any affair of consequence had taken place. On May 23d the Russian H. Q. began to advance from Bucharest towards the Danube. General Whlanius on the 17th had his advanced guard opposite Widdin. The Seravians have taken Negotyn, and were advancing towards Widdin.
SEMLIN, JUNE 5.
We expect news from the neighborhood of Ismaire, as a numerous body of Turks are on the march to relieve it.
PRUSSIA. MARIENBURGH, JUNE 9.
In the attack on the 5th by the Russians, on Spanden, the Prince of Benevento (Bernadotte) was wounded. The Prince had proceeded to the bridge head, and given his orders to General Frere; on his return, he perceived the 17th regiment of dragoons taking a position under the fire of the Russian infantry, he was desirous to post it in a less dangerous place; but while he was approaching, his Serene Highness was struck by a musket ball in the neck, under the right ear; the contusion was so violent, that he fell forward with his head on the saddle. The troops for a moment were struck with dismay;—they thought their General in Chief was killed.—But this painful error did not last long; the Prince raised his head again, and employed his remaining strength to inspire the soldiers to avenge him.—An exclamation of revenge was their answer, and the Prince was endeavouring to avail himself of this favorable disposition of the troops, when the blood streaming forth from his wound, and the weakness thereby occasioned, compelled him to withdraw to a house, and get his wound bound up. He directed the different Generals strenuously to maintain their positions.
The Prince's absence did not last half an hour; his wound had been scarcely bound up, when he received a report that the enemy was attempting to cross near the river Bourden, and immediately proceeded, with the 27th regiment of Dragoons, to the height of Deutschendorf.
The surgeons say, that the Prince's wound will be cured in a fortnight or three weeks, and that he will again soon be able to appear at the head of his corps.
DESTRUCTION OF THE DUTCH SHIP-PIPING AT BATAVIA. JUNE 12.
From the private journal of Captain Vicary, from Batavia, it appears that the Batavian frigate Maria Reygerburgh, of 44 guns, was taken by Sir Edward Pellew's squadron. The extent of the destruction of the shipping may be judged from the following extract.
The following vessels were burnt near the batteries, viz.
Frigate Phoenix, 32 guns; brig Adventurer (Adventurer) 20 ditto; Zeapleg (sea-flower) 14 ditto, States Vessels.
Frigate Amelsley, force unknown; Patriot 18 guns; brig Ceres, force unknown; Company's ships.
Brig Snelyheyd (Swift) force unknown. Ship Deugdehoornd (Probity) force unknown; East Indian, ditto; Zuyder Pole, (South Pole) Prussian, ditto; private ships.
And four or five at least, whose names are unknown.
On the east side of the bay were burnt the Andromeda, and Deborah, the finest ships in Java, both which belong to the Governor of Samara, and another large ship, the name unknown. During the engagement some of the American vessels were obliged to slip their cables and run out to keep clear of the shot, which flew thick about them.
During night the sky was awfully illuminated by the blaze of 18 large ships, and the blowing up of several of them when the fire reached their magazines added to the grandeur of the scene. No one could behold the destruction of so many fine ships, without lamenting the evils inseparable from war, and particularly regretting that to large a portion of that misfortune should fall to the lot of private persons, most of whom were probably opposed to the principles and actions which first occasioned hostilities.
JUNE 15.
Extract of a dispatch from Major General Frazier to the Rt. Hon. H. E. Fox, dated on board his Majesty's ship Canopus, Aboukir Bay, April 24.
I have the mortification to acquaint you that the second attempt that I thought necessary to make against Rosetta has failed, owing to a great reinforcement of the enemy being sent down the Nile from Cairo, which overpowered our troops, and obliged them to fall back with the loss (I am grieved to say) of nearly 1000 men in killed, wounded and missing. Among the latter, Lieut. Colonel M'Leod, Major Vogelsang, and Major Mohr. Brigadier General Stuart, who commanded the troops on this service, is only now upon his march towards Alexandria to the remainder of his force, and has not yet sent me the details; but as the Admiral thinks it necessary to dispatch the Wizard brig immediately from this bay to Messina, I think it necessary to give you all the information I am at present in possession of, and shall send you the particulars of this unfortunate affair by his majesty's ship Thunderer, which will leave Alexandria very soon; and as I have not time to acquaint his majesty's ministers of this event by this opportunity, I must request you to have the goodness to do it as soon as possible.
JUNE 22.
The Vienna Court Gazette draws a very different picture of the state of affairs in Turkey from the French and Dutch papers. The blockade of the Dardanelles and of the Canal of Constantinople has reduced the capital to great distress. The captain Pacha seems unwilling to quit the security of the sea of Marmora, and the Turkish squadron which entered into the Black Sea, has been driven out of it by the Russians. General Michelson's position remains nearly the same. He has not evacuated Moldavia and Wallachia, and has lately received considerable reinforcement.
It is reported that a change has taken place in the Russian ministry, that Baron Budberg has resigned, and M. Noviltzoff received the port folio of foreign affairs, and that count Romanzoff has been succeeded by count Strogonoff, in the commercial department. The latter not long since left this country, and his appointment will, it is supposed, be extremely favourable to this country.
Holland is at present strangely situated—she is apprehensive of an invasion, and she is without a chief magistrate.—Louis Bonaparte, according to private letters from Holland has abdicated the throne in consequence of a misunderstanding between him and his brother.—His conduct, though grateful to the people, because it favoured their commerce, displeased Napoleon.—The wish of the latter is to distress the English trade by all possible means. Does he ruin his Ally or his dependent by carrying his wishes into execution—this is to him a matter of indifference.—Private letters state as soon as Louis Bonaparte was placed upon the throne he saw the ruin which his brother's system was bringing upon the country. The people approached him with uncommon representations of their distress, and implored him to abrogate that prohibitory commercial system, which by cutting off all foreign communication, intercepted all foreign demand, and ruined a country which could only support itself by means of its richer neighbors.
Louis Bonaparte appears to have been moved by the scene of distress before him; the system was partially abrogated, and the communication opened between England and Holland, through the indirect medium of neutrals. It is stated that these indulgencies provoked the indignation of the emperor Napoleon.
The first of it experienced by the King of Holland, was the defection of his wife, the daughter of the French Empress; who, after some successful intrigues, withdrew from her husband to her mother.
Louis Bonaparte, wearied with these intrigues, and having in vain solicited permission to retire, has at length abdicated the throne, and withdrawn himself into Italy. The Dutch provinces are in consequence in the greatest confusion; they have implored the return of Louis—"that Monarch whom they have known long enough to love, and whose retreat will renew that state of confusion and distress, from which his moderation and princely humanity had but begun to relieve them."

Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1807.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
GREAT NEWS.
London papers to July 3d, and French to the 29th June, have been received at Boston since our last. Their contents are highly interesting—copious extracts from which will be found under our foreign head.
The campaign opened the 5th June; and was continued by a series of hard fighting until the 14th. The Russians were the assailants—It is stated, that the French, previous to these movements, by passing a large body of troops along the peninsula (called in the maps, the Fiesch Nering) to the point opposite Piltau, and commanding the Fiesch Haff, very much over reached the right of the Russian grand army; and on the other side, Massena, early in June, having advanced some twenty or thirty leagues from Pultusk, along the Narew, as much out-stretched the left of the Russian line. Thus out-flanked, though not attacked, it became the indispensable duty of the Russian commander, to resolve on a retreat, or an attack on the French lines. The latter was preferred; and took place on the 4th, 5th and 6th June, at various points on the Passarge, from its mouth to the vicinity of Liebstadt, a distance of more than thirty miles. The French posts on this line being powerfully supported by Marshal Bernadotte's division, the Russians, after repeated and bloody efforts, were unable to force the passage of the river, and retired. At the same time, an attack was made on the French position near Guttstadt, and Marshal Ney was compelled to retreat before Gen. Bennigsen, to the vicinity of the Passarge, with the loss of baggage, stores, &c. On the 6th, the Russians continued their attacks on Deppen; but after a sanguinary conflict, were obliged to retire without being pursued.
The campaign thus commenced, the Emperor Napoleon, on the 5th June, left his winter-quarters at Posen; on the 6th he was at Salkett; and on the 8th joined Marshal Ney at Deppen. On the 9th he directed a movement in advance on the Russian centre, and victory, constant to her favorite, crowned it with success, and in the night Bonaparte entered Guttstadt and recovered the positions which Ney had lost. The Russian army, finding its attacks fruitless, and its flanks threatened, retired to its strong positions in front of Hilsberg. Here the French again became assailants, but after a very bloody day, the Russians found shelter in the entrenchments of Hilsberg. This was on the 10th June; on the 11th at night the Russian army continued its retreat, on the right bank of the Alle. On the 12th, the French army followed; and on the 14th after some smart affairs between the rear and front guards of the opposing armies, an action, said to be general, was fought at Friedland, (on the left bank of the Alle, about 30 miles N.E. of Hilsberg, and 20 S. by E. of Konigsberg. The French accounts state the Russian loss to be from 25 to 30,000 men, thirty Generals, and 80 pieces of cannon; and that they (the Russians) were overwhelmed and scattered. And the English account, that the loss was nearly equal: that the Russian General made his retreat in good order; and that the loss of the battle was owing to the failure of one of the operations ordered.
We see no mention made in the French papers of the reported abdication of the throne of Holland, by Lewis Bonaparte.
The Expedition had sailed from England, at the last dates. The troops are principally Germans. But the General Staff contains the names of some of the most celebrated officers of the British line. They are to join the Swedes and Prussians in Pomerania; and may possibly make a diversion in favor of the allies, if Bonaparte should pass into Russia—Marshal Brune will be opposed to this force, on the part of the French. The Dukes of Orleans and Berri, (sons of the famous citizen Egalite) have joined the Prussian and Russian arms. [Columbian Centinel.]
Extracts of a letter received at New-York, dated Richmond, July 25, 1807.
"The people of Richmond are truly patriotic; we infinitely exceed you in enthusiasm: even the Ladies of this city are forming themselves into volunteer corps; they were to meet to-day to elect their officers: the result of the meeting has not yet transpired. I am told they will parade on Monday, and when the troops arrive, they will meet them out of town and escort them in their uniform, a white dress, blue spencer turned up with white (the uniform of the state) blue shoes; the head-dress I have not yet learned. Their appearance will be truly beautiful and grand. No longer let the northern flanders say our Virginia ladies are too puny to bear fatigue. I can assure you that they possess the true American spirit."
From the Boston Courier.
Our tories seem to be much alarmed at the idea of being sent to Nova Scotia, which they say is threatened; and call upon the people to consider the cruelty of the measure—when they have done nothing, but abused our government, sought to detach the people from it, to disaffect the militia required by it, and attempted to justify the enormities of a hostile nation! Nothing else! Now, though we have not, as we remember, heard such a transportation directly proposed; yet we wi see whether it would be worse than the following explicit, official menace, contained in the Address of a federal band in New-Jersey, to John Adams, and his answer, during the reign of terror.
Extracts from the Address.
"In New-Jersey, Sir, with the exception of a few degraded, and a few deluded characters, to whose persons, and to whose services the invading foe shall be welcome, and WHOM WE ENGAGE TO CONVEY IN SAFETY TO THEIR LINES, there is but one voice—and that is the voice of confidence in the federal government."
Extracts from Mr. Adams' answer.
"The degraded and the deluded characters may tremble, lest they should be condemned to the severest punishment an American can suffer—that of being copied in safety within the lines of an invading enemy."
MEETING OF CONGRESS.
According to the public expectation and wishes, the president has now exercised the power vested in him by law, of requiring the attendance, of the national legislature, at the seat of government. Disregarding the clamors of a traitorous faction, and of the emissaries of the British ministry, our government has adhered to that line of conduct, which respect for ourselves and regard for our interests rendered necessary and creditable.
Altho' the public resentment might have given a color of propriety to the demand for an early meeting of congress, the government believed that the good sense of the nation would ultimately enable it to discover, why an early meeting was called for in certain newspapers, and why the government delayed its compliance—the anticipation has been realized, for it is already discovered that the very emissaries, who were complaining that there was no energy, and that congress was not assembled, now deprecate measures of defence and say that as there is a negotiation going on, there is no need of the interposition of congress. In fact, the emissaries of Britain wished to put us off our guard, to give a pretence by the assembling of congress to the British cruisers for seizing our vessels and detaining our seamen: they were aware, that a crisis had arrived when the choice between war or retribution for injury must be made: they believed that sooner than make atonement, Britain would enter into a war, and they were anxious that nothing should be done by us to bring home our property and our seamen. These were the motives for the clamor for our early call of congress.
The government, however, frustrated their wishes—it has sent a messenger to England to demand redress, it has committed no hostile act, nor undertaken any warlike preparation that is not warranted by the laws of nature and nations—it has said to England "notwithstanding all the provocation, you have given; although you would have considered as just cause for war the injury we have sustained, if committed against you, we desire peace, but will not flun war at the price of disgrace;" grant us redress for the past, and an acknowledgement of rights belonging to us under the known laws of nations, and we shall be satisfied—but on no other terms."
The offer was consistent with justice and the usages of nations; and it stamps with falsehood all the scandalous insinuations of British partisans, that there is an anxiety on the part of our government to go to war with England: the alternative is to be chosen by England herself. Having thus secured the country in the possession of peace, until an answer from England should be received; the government answers the clamor of its enemies, and cautions this country by saying: "we have put into operation every power we had, first to secure peace, secondly to prepare for war; we have ordered the militia to be trained, forts and floating batteries to be constructed: we have secured four months of peace, that our merchants might preserve their shipping and other property, and that our country might secure the immense number of valuable seamen, now on the ocean, and who know nothing of recent transactions—after what we have done, the country cannot accuse us of provoking war or of not wishing to maintain peace; the merchants cannot complain, if they hereafter venture their property, and our seamen will all, in the interim, have it in their power to choose between safety on shore or danger on the ocean."
Such is the conduct of government, and the nation will consider it the wisest and most honorable that could have been pursued.—To have called congress immediately after the commission of the outrage on the Chesapeake, could have answered no purpose, unless war was to have been adopted, and no other effort made to obtain redress—it would have placed our shipping and seamen unprotected and at the mercy of an enemy. The course pursued preserves our reputation, saves our property and citizens, and affords us time to be in readiness for the worst that can happen. The dispatches of our government will probably reach England, the beginning of September, there will then remain time enough for the British ministry to determine on the answer, and for our government to receive and lay it before congress.
We are persuaded that, the entire conduct of the government, in these critical and important transactions, will command the applause of every man in this country, that is not its enemy and the hireling of our oppressors.
[Aurora.]
A letter from Richmond, dated August 5, says:—"Blannerhasset has arrived under a guard, and is lodged in the Penitentiary. Gen. Dayton is a few miles from this city, in cog. Col. Burt is now in town, under a guard of six men, for the convenience of his counsel."
Massachusetts Volunteers.
On the 24th of July, the Major-General of the 10th Division received the Governor's Orders to raise 663 men, including officers. Orders had been previously issued, to call the troops together on the 3d of August for review. On receiving the Governor's orders, Colonel Knowlton's Regiment was ordered to parade on the 27th inst.—They turned out to a man. After a short address from the Maj. Gen. the Rev'd Albert Johnson addressed the Throne of Grace, in a well adapted prayer, and then addressed the Regiment. The Rev. Mr. Johnson was the first to volunteer his services, as Chaplain; Dr. C. C. Chandler volunteered, as surgeon.—Capt. Thomas Cunningham with his beautiful company of Artillery, volunteered their services—and so large a number volunteered from Col. Knowlton's regiment, that they balloted to find who should not serve at this time. Thus in three days from receiving the Governor's orders, these men were enrolled, although many of them had to march fifteen miles to the place of parade. The same spirit that appeared in Knowlton's regiment, manifested itself thro' the whole Division.
In Dorchester, at the beat of the drum, volunteers enough offered to complete that town's quota of the 100,000 militia.
On Friday, 7th inst. the 6th regiment, of the second brigade, 2d division, paraded for the purpose of drafting its complement of the 100,000 militia ordered by the president. We are happy to state that the greater part of the quota volunteered their services. In some companies there was no necessity of drafting a single man.—Newburyport Gaz.
New Hampshire Volunteers.
Last week, the 37th regiment of Militia in this State, paraded for the purpose of drafting its complement of the 100,000 militia ordered by the President.—We are happy to state, that five out of the seven companies, unanimously tendered their services to Government, viz.—
The Greenland Troop of Cavalry, commanded by Captain Dearborn.
The company of Light Infantry from Rye commanded by Capt. Jona. Wedgewood.
The Newington company of Infantry, commanded by Capt. Tho. Pickering—and
Two Companies of Infantry from Stratham, commanded by Captains John Avery and Joseph Holt.
HEROES OF '75! —That spirit of patriotism which dwelt in your breast, at the time which tried men's souls, and led you to a conflict with that country, which has caused the present detachment from the militia of the U. States, survives in your sons—to you, it must be a subject of real gratification, that your descendants preserve the same spirit, feel zealous in the same cause, and are ready and willing to defend those inestimable blessings which your exertions and your wisdom have procured for us.
The conduct of the Jersey volunteers is truly deserving of imitation. Without delay, or hesitation, they declared, rather than their country should be insulted, fond as they are of peace and domestic life, that they are ready at a moments warning to avenge their country. Such is the spirit which belongs to a good Citizen who is inspired with the true courage of a good Soldier.
In Baltimore, sixteen corps of volunteers are organizing; two of cavalry, two of artillery, two of riflemen, one of pikemen, and nine of infantry.
From the enthusiasm that prevails in the different states of the union, we presume that the volunteers, whose services will be tendered to government, will form a very respectable part of the 100,000 men called for by the President.
It ought to be known, that blue cloth, suitable for the uniforming of volunteers, may be had in Philadelphia, of domestic manufacture.—Orders for this cloth, for such purposes, have already, we understand, been sent to the domestic society.

SAVANNAH, JULY 23. The citizens of Savannah, who feel that resentment which freemen ought, at the late dastardly conduct of the British ship of war the Leopard, towards our national ship the Chesapeake, are invited to assemble at the court-house, on Monday next, at 4 o'clock, P. M. for the purpose of walking in procession to the South Common, to burn, in effigy, the sea-robbers, Whitby, Humphries & Douglas.
MIRANDA.
NEW-YORK, AUGUST 4.
By a gentleman lately arrived from Trinidad, we are informed, that Miranda was still at that place, and that he was waiting for intelligence and assistance from England, for the purpose of making a further attempt on the Spanish Main. Many are of opinion that he has a British commission, and acts under the orders of that government.—No expedition appears to be fitting out from Trinidad for the Main at present.
STONINGTON, (CON.) JULY 29.
There are several American born seamen, on board of the British squadron, which lately blockaded Norfolk, who were impressed, and who have for a long time been compelled by the blood-thirsty commanders, to wear out their days in those detested floating battle-ships. Among a number of names who have signified to the collector at Norfolk, that this was the case, dated on board of one of the ships, we have noticed that of Jeremiah Holmes , of Stonington—it was long since known that he was impressed, and every measure, prescribed by law and custom, to procure his release have been adopted, but in vain; he yet is a slave to tyrants; and it is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty, how long he will remain in the power of the enemies to our country, to humanity, and to the laws of nations.
A letter from Washington, to the editor of a Richmond paper, very properly notices the encomiums that have been bestowed upon the British commodore Hardy, now commanding the squadron in Hampton roads, and considers them as unfounded and unwise. It is stated as a fact, that, at the time the Leopard had proceeded to attack the Chesapeake, captain Hardy's ship, the Triumph, was prepared for action to support her, if roughly handled, and that a man was ready to cut her cable that she might at a moment engage in the glorious & magnanimous business of attacking an unprepared vessel with treble her force.

EPITAPH ON A FRIEND. THE mould'ring form within this tomb confin'd, Once boast'd vigour, once a vig'rous mind; Thus virtuous, eminent like his, can die, His friends shall often witness with a sigh: And say, when passing by this well-known grave, "Here rests the good, the just, the wife, the brave;" "None fallen men so few like him remain," "We scarce shall look upon his like again." The friend of human kind, his country's friend, And, in one word, his eulogy is end. (Let truth say more of monu'ments if it can) Here lies "God's noblest work"—an honest man."
THE PROUD AND IMPUDENT YOUNG MAN.
AS I have been always noted for pride and impudence, which have lately sunk me into contempt and infamy, a short sketch of my life may prove a salutary admonition to many bold, assuming young men, and a useful lesson to all. My parents from my infancy granted me every indulgence in their power; and early taught me to think highly of myself. My father, being a man of wealth and ostentation, assumed a high rank in society. He thought nothing could be more injurious to young persons, than restraint; and that it was highly incumbent on parents to cherish in their children a spirit of pride and boldness; and to initiate them in all the ceremonies, amusements and pleasures of the world at an early period. As my father considered personal accomplishments far superior to mental acquirements, and as the principal qualifications for a great and respectable man, my whole attention and time were devoted to superficial attainments. Thus, as you may suppose, I early put on the man, and became dictatorial and pompous. My boldness and loquacity soon rendered me conspicuous. My constant endeavor was, to outvie all the young men of my acquaintance in parade and shew, and to be foremost in all the fashions. I not only thought myself, but was esteemed by many others, "as a mighty fine, handsome, clever young man." I could bow gracefully, dance prettily, make a good figure in all public assemblies, and stare any man out of countenance. Many young men I have put to a blush, to confusion, and vexation, by staring them full in the face—asking them impertinent questions, and looking at others in company with a smile, and then turning into excessive laughter. I found it the most effectual method to put down young men, whose superiority I envied, to stare at them—frequently to smile at their conversation and behaviour, and then burst into sudden peals of laughter.
Although I had paid great attention to my exterior appearance, which, if bestowed on my mind, would have ensured me merit and respect; I have at length met with the most poignant ridicule and contempt from the most respectable and intelligent gentlemen and ladies. Not long since, I dropped into company with a few gentlemen of science and refined manners; not knowing them, and supposing myself far superior to them, and putting on my usual airs of importance, I began to affect largely upon politics. The gentlemen, observing my forwardness and assurance, suffered me to engross all the conversation; but at length, being disgusted with my impertinence and loquacity, one of them genteely exposed my ignorance and folly, which drew a smile of contempt upon me from the other gentlemen. Having a brazen countenance, I soon resumed courage to speak again.—Wishing to convince the gentlemen, that I had great talents and knowledge, I began to ridicule divine revelation, as I had no doubt I should meet their opinion on that subject. No reply was made, but I perceived disdain and indignation in every countenance. Under most painful mortification and distress, I abruptly left their society. After this distressful accident, I resolved never to speak upon any topic, of which I was ignorant.
For a short time I turned my attention to books, and collected a few ideas on various subjects, which, as I had recovered my vanity and feelings, I determined to retain on the first occasion. Soon after, happening in the company of some ladies of extensive reading, I poured forth all my knowledge in confusion. The ladies, seeing that I had betrayed gross ignorance of the books I pretended to have read, and the subjects on which I spoke, and withal, that I discovered overweening vanity, sneered at my impertinence, and treated me with the utmost derision and disdain.
My company being burdensome and troublesome to the ladies, I withdrew, and have since fallen into utter neglect. No person ever experienced more mortification, chagrin and pain, than I have done in these several exposures of my ignorance and arrogance. No one speaks to, or notices me. Where shall I flee? Is there no protection for the impudent and vain? Humble and diffident persons find a sanctuary in modesty. Their miseries are supposed to flow from a dilidence of themselves, and they are thought to have talents and knowledge under the reserve and cover of modesty. Pity the fate of a poor, impudent, vain and ignorant young fellow. C. S.
