National Prosperity.
From the National Intelligencer.
If a stranger should come among us, who was altogether unacquainted with the existing political state of the world, and particularly with that of the United States, what would be his impressions from reading the federal prints?
1. He would believe that under the name of a free republican government, we had the worst species of despotism that ever existed. He would infer that none of the great privileges, for which men of independent and generous minds have so often risked their all, were enjoyed; that freedom of opinion was not tolerated, that freedom of conscience was proscribed, that the freedom of the press was in chains. It is true that the free press has passed upon public measures, and the vehement denunciations levelled at public men would lead him to hesitate in embracing this last opinion—but the reiteration of the assertion would compel him to believe at whatever sacrifice of his reasoning faculties.
2. He would believe that freedom of pursuit, the next dearest attribute of an independent mind, was absolutely interdicted, and that the government by dealing out its protecting power, so encouraged some branches of industry as to embarrass and crush others.
3. He would more especially believe that the commerce was in the most ignoble fetters, and that the merchants were consequently among the poorest, lowest, and least respectable classes of the community.
4. He would believe the whole nation to be in a retrograde course towards poverty and debasement.
5. He would believe that industry was paralysed, agriculture unproductive, and manufactures at a stand.
6. He would believe the people oppressed with taxes, and suffering under the most oppressive burthens.
7. He would believe those in government, of the lowest order of mankind, and totally incapable of conducting the public affairs.
8. He would infer that the mind of the American was sunk into apathy and ignorance, and that knowledge was his contempt instead of his ambition.
9. He would believe that the American nation and government were held in contempt throughout the whole civilized world.
And he would naturally exclaim "miserable people for whom nature and a kind Providence have done every thing—but who have done nothing for yourselves! Thy glory is extinguished. In infancy thou feelest the decrepitude of age. Better had it been for thee and the human race, hadst thou never asserted an independence thou knowest not how to maintain."
But what would the astonishment of our moralising stranger be, on employing his own senses, and judging
for himself from indisputable facts and observations, to find—
1. That every man from the highest to the lowest, was permitted to enjoy an unlimited freedom of opinion, political as well as religious, and that the press was suffered, with impunity, not merely to utter the truth, but to propagate the most flagrant untruths, to declare public measures to have been taken which never were adopted, to ascribe motives to public men which never influenced them, and not satisfied with this, to attack their private lives with the basest calumnies. What would be his astonishment to find, although the first magistrate possessed a private character without a stain, that this enslaved organ had tortured ingenuity to multiply and aggravate the number and degree of vices ascribed to him? Would not his astonishment be extreme to hear, that notwithstanding the atrocity of these calumnies and the almost universal reverence entertained for the character of the chief magistrate, and notwithstanding the existence of laws fully competent to the punishment of calumniators, not a single prosecution had been instituted by him or his friends.
2. What would be his astonishment to learn that freedom of pursuit was not only exempt from any positive restraint, but that it was absolutely protected and guaranteed by habits and institutions unknown to any other nation—that there is not a single legalised monopoly—that there are no entailed estates—that there are no established orders—that the road to office is equally open to all—that every useful occupation of life is held in estimation—that there is no preference whatever given to one pursuit over another, and that such preference is actually prohibited by the letter and spirit of our institutions.
3. What would be his astonishment to find that trade was almost as free as air, that the field of enterprise at home as well as abroad was almost entirely unrestricted, that it was in a state of prosperity without a precedent, that no people so young had ever been so commercial, and that the merchants, instead of being the poorest, the lowest, and the least respectable class in the community, were unquestionably, for their numbers, the richest, and that they lived in a style of elevation and enjoyment unknown to any other part of the nation, enjoying the best tables, living in the largest houses, the most splendidly furnished, keeping their carriages, and retiring in the summer to their gay villas, and living there with even more elegance than in town? Would he not almost disbelieve his senses, when, partaking of their cheer, and surrounded by all the delicacies of the season, and the more costly luxuries of the foreign world, he heard these men, instead of expressing their gratitude, cursing the chief magistrate of their country, holding their country itself up to scorn, and bewailing their unfortunate and depraved condition.—Having his eyes in some measure opened by this strange exhibition, what would be his surprize on appealing to official documents, to find—
That in a period of 29 years the population had increased from 2,650,000 to 5,156,000.
That the dwelling houses had in the same period increased from 650,000 to 1,225,000.
That the improved lands had risen from 21,500,000 to 39,400,000 acres.
That the average price per acre had risen from two to six dollars.
That the number of horses had increased from 600,000 to 1,200,000; and the horned cattle from 1,200,000 to 2,950,000.
That the merchant vessels had increased from 250,000 tons to 1,107,000.
That the imports had risen from eleven to eighty millions of dollars.
That the exports of domestic production had increased from nine to forty-one millions.
And the exports of foreign goods from one to thirty-six millions.
That the national revenues had increased in a period of twelve years from eight to thirteen millions of dollars—while the expenditures, making an allowance for the extinguishment of the principal of the debt, have been nearly stationary.
That the specie in circulation has risen in a period of twenty years from ten to seventeen millions.
Would he not on imbibing such information, indignantly shun the society of men, so lost to character, so lost to truth, so lost to patriotism, so lost to
every honorable feeling? And would he not, freed from this contagion, acknowledge, no matter what country gave him birth, that the existing situation of the United States presents the most illustrious commentary on the principles of the republican system, and demonstration of its superiority to all others. Would he not have the magnanimity to admit that in no other country has there been such a rapid progress to wealth and power, such an astonishing advance in the products of agriculture and the extension of commerce.
4. As to oppressive burthens a single glance at the annual official statements, would shew him that inasmuch as the taxes are infinitely lighter than those of any other nation, and that in their actual operation they are, from their nature, scarcely felt—for being equal and impartial, and collected at a very inconsiderable expense, they by no means press on each individual to the amount he pays, or take so much money from his pocket, but are in fact virtually reduced to an amount comparatively small, by every man actually charging them, to a considerable degree, in the price fixed by him upon his labor. It is for this reason that there is no country under heaven in which the taxes are so unoppressive.
5. After contemplating these effects, after passing through the country and beholding an unbroken prosperity from one end of it to the other, and more than all after looking back upon a period in which the whole civilized world has been in convulsion, and this nation alone exempt from the calamities of war, and in the undisturbed enjoyment of peace, although often threatened by the conduct of the most formidable powers of Europe, would he not acknowledge those at the head of our affairs at least as capable of guiding the helm of state as any of the administrations of Europe? Would he not go further, and judging of the actions of men by their effects, which in a period of any tolerable length is a correct criterion, however unjust in a single case, allow that the American government had pursued a more enlightened policy than any other government on earth, and was consequently composed of men possessed either of greater virtue or greater talent than any other country could during the same time boast? He would not, with the federalists, ascribe every thing to chance, but judging with an impartial eye, he would have but two alternatives—He would either believe the American government the most enlightened on earth, or the American people the most virtuous and best informed. Without acknowledging one or both of these propositions, every thing around him would appear miraculous.
6. Studying the character, and contemplating the pursuits of the respective classes of the Americans, he would perceive an activity and enterprise never at rest, that by daring every thing overcame all obstacles, that with equal ease and success struck the harpoon into the whale, cultivated the earth, pursued the mechanical arts, filled with honor the learned professions, or discharged the more arduous functions of government; talents which imply no inconsiderable share of natural sagacity, and require a large share of acquired knowledge. Would he not be forced to acknowledge, on contemplating this picture, that apathy was unknown, and that an universal and almost insatiable thirst for knowledge pervaded all ranks.
7. Finally, he would be induced to ask himself this question: Can it be that a nation which marches with such unprecedented strides to numbers, to wealth and to power, by developing her solid resources, of which nothing can deprive her, which has maintained peace while the whole surrounding world has been in arms, which has added to her original territory a country of perhaps superior extent without drawing the sword, or causing the infelicity of a single individual, which has in no instance violated the rights of others, or sacrificed her own—can it be that such a nation is held in contempt throughout the whole civilized world? If this be true, what else does it prove but that the whole civilized world is destitute of honor and principle, and that consequently to be despised by such a world, instead of being disgraceful, is in the highest degree honorable. But he would deny

the fact. How, he would say, can this be the case, when we behold this very civilized world paying more respect to the rights of America than to those of any other nation? It is true her rights are frequently trampled upon; but comparing the aggressions committed on her with those committed on the powers of Europe, we behold only the traces of the hare compared with those of the Elephant.
Would he not, acknowledging his deception, exclaim—"Happy people, who, although you have received the most prodigal favors from nature, have not relaxed your own exertions, but who have, greatly to your honor, felt the one as the strongest excitement to the other. Your name is on the roll of fame. Though young, you advance with the steps of manhood. Maintain, as you hitherto have done, the independence you so gloriously acquired, and the world will pronounce you its best, its most illustrious benefactor."
From the Richmond Enquirer of March 27.
Aaron Burr,
ex-vice-president of the U. States, is now in this city; guarded as a state prisoner.
We have had no opportunity of conversing with his escort; but a gentleman, who travelled with them in the stage, has given us the following account of the manner of his arrest, obtained from their lips.—It is not to be expected that it should be completely correct: But we shall hereafter amend whatever imperfections which we may be fortunate enough to detect.
Col. Burr was apprehended in the Tombigbee country in the first days of March; perhaps the third, in the following manner.*
A gentleman whose name is represented to us to be Perkins, was at a public house in a village in that country a few miles (perhaps 18 or 20) from the Spanish line. He was in company with the sheriff of the county.
About 11 o'clock at night a gentleman rode up to the door, and enquired for the house of a major—who lived in the neighbourhood.—He was followed by another, who turned out to be his companion.—The strangers were told, that the house of the major they enquired for, was at some distance from the tavern; and that they would have to cross a water course which had been swollen by the waters and might be dangerous of access. The strangers however persevered in their intention and left the door of the tavern.
Mr. Perkins was surprised by these singular movements: that men, at that late hour of a cold night should leave the comforts of a tavern, and explore a dangerous road of which they were professedly ignorant; the idea was a source of considerable astonishment. It naturally led to some speculation upon the character of the strangers, and he could not start any rational explanation of their mysterious conduct, but that they were robbers, who intended to pilfer the major's house. He determined, if possible, to prevent their design; and prevailed upon his companion (the sheriff) to accompany him to the scene of meditated robbery.
When they arrived, the major was from home. One of the gentlemen was in the house; the other had retired to the kitchen, to warm his shivering limbs. The first glance, which Mr. P. caught of this visitant of the kitchen, convinced him that the mysterious stranger was no other than Col. Burr: whether Mr. P. recognized him from a previous acquaintance with his person, or from the fire of his eye, the shape of his face and person so well corresponding to the description which he had received of him; the gentleman with whom we had conversed, was incompetent to inform us. Certain it is; Mr. P. suspected that the stranger who stood before him with his white hat slouched over his face and with all the habiliments of a man so perfectly different from those in which he commonly appears, was the very man, whose name had rung for several months from one corner of the U. S. to the other. It was A. Burr.
Mr. P. determined to arrest him.—He repaired to Fort Stoddert on the Mobile, and prevailed upon lieutenant Gaines (the commandant at that fort) to accompany him with a small file of soldiers. In the mean time, Col. Burr had sent back his companion (by the name of Ashley,) for some purpose unknown; and requested his new companion the sheriff, to show him on the way to the Spanish line.
On the road, they met the file of soldiers accompanied by Mr. Perkins and lieutenant Gaines. "What," says Col. Burr; or in words to that effect; "do soldiers travel here in this style; on horseback?" "No; answered his companion. Col. Burr is said to have immediately dropt his bridle, and clasping his hands together, to have uttered
* It is presumed from this circumstance, that Col. Burr was not far from the Florida line; that he was about to take refuge in the dominions of Spain, the only spot of ground in that quarter of the country where he was exempt from the authority of the United States; and that he intended to descend the Mobile and repair to Pensacola.
some ejaculation of vehement emotion; what that was we cannot trust ourselves to describe. Lieut. Gaines advanced up to him, and interrogated him, whether he was not Col. Burr. The scene closed, by L. Gaines's ominous words: "You are my prisoner, sir."
An escort of eight men accompanied Col. Burr from that quarter of the country, on their way to Washington. They crossed at Coles' ferry; on Monday morning between the hours of 11 and 12, they passed Prince Edward court-house. On Wednesday evening, about 5 o'clock, they arrived in Frederickburg. Here they met with a gentleman from Washington, who was instructed to order them to Richmond; and last evening the stage conveyed them to our city; Col. Burr and his escort of 7 men. The gentleman who met them at Frederickburg has accompanied them to this place, and bears a communication from the Executive to the U. States attorney for this district.
He is conducted to this city to undergo an examination before Chief Justice Marshall. Several circumstances occur to recommend the choice of this tribunal. The most material of them is, that
The overt act of treason, on which he may be charged, was most probably committed at Blennerhassett's island, in the river Ohio, and within the limits of Virginia.† His crime therefore will fall within the jurisdiction of the federal district court of this state.
He will be brought before the highest judicial minister known in this country, the chief justice of the U. States.
He will be examined in a judicial district, among the nearest to the seat of government of the United States; and should he be sent on to further trial, he will have the advantage of being brought before one of the district courts, whose session comes on the soonest.
In these respects, Aaron Burr will possess all the privileges secured to him by the constitution of the United States. He will "enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law."
Whether we consider the nature of the crime or the character of the criminal; the witnesses who will be brought up, the counsel by whom it will be argued, or the eager curiosity of the nation; this will be one of the most impressive spectacles which this or any other city in the United States has ever witnessed.
This criminal was once Vice-President of the U. States; and a man who ranks at all times among men of the most transcendent talents in his country.
The crime likely to be alleged against him is the foulest and most atrocious that can possibly disgrace the inhabitants of a free country. It is the crime of a traitor. It is the crime of a parricide in arms against his country; who has labored to excite gallant people against the very best government that ever existed; who has plotted to destroy that great ark of our political safety, our union; in fact, one who has whetted the poisoned daggers of civil insurrection, to "levy war" against his country. In comparison of such a crime, what is murder; what is the robber that clandestinely empties my purse; or the felon that boldly prowls upon the highway, and at the same blow deals robbery and murder? If he be really guilty of treason, what is A. Burr compared to Eugene Aram?—If upon this ground, even, he be acquitted, perhaps he may still be indicted and tried by the laws of United States for preparing an expedition against Mexico; the colony of a foreign state with whom we are now at peace.
The Virginia bar has generally been pronounced by the federal judges themselves to be the ablest in the United States.
Some of the witnesses are men of the highest standing and respectability. And the conspiracy itself has excited so much public curiosity; it has rung so often in the newspapers, and in the circles of private life, not only in this country, but in Europe, that public expectation may be calculated to be more general and eager, than any state trial in this country has ever before produced.
The usual course of proceeding will be pursued. A. B. will be brought before the chief justice for examination—Should he conceive that there is sufficient cause for a prosecution, he will remand him into confinement or hold him to bail. His trial will be ordered for the next session of the federal district court; holden in this city the 22d May.
† His force was collected on this island.
The number of new houses expected to be built the ensuing season in New-York, it is thought will exceed those of any preceding one. Three new churches are likewise to be commenced—the city-hall to be elevated and greatly improved, &c.
LATEST Foreign Intelligence.

From the General Staff, to the Prussian Government.
ELBING, JAN. 26, 1807.
The intended junction between Marshal Bernadotte and Marshal Ney, the former of whom marched in the night between the 24th and 25th from Elbing, has been interrupted on the retreat of the latter near Mohrungen in consequence of the expeditions and unexpected arrival of the combined Russian and Prussian corps. In the enemy's retreat near Mohrungen, Liebstadt and Saalfeld, four thousand of them were taken prisoners, ten pieces of cannon, and two stands of colors, as well as the whole baggage of Marshal Bernadotte. The brave Lt. General Von Anrep, however, of the Russian corps, has been killed by a musket ball.
Marshal Bernadotte has been driven back, by the persevering advance of our forces into the forests of Streblau, twenty leagues from Elbing; and Marshal Ney to Przasnysz, in New East Prussia. The former is completely surrounded; but the latter has joined Prince Murat, and the combined army will shortly give them battle. The Russian army is commanded by the General in Chief Von Bennigsen, and consists of ten divisions, or upwards of 80,000 men, which will be joined in a fortnight by Krasowski's Platoon, with twenty pieces of riding artillery, and 30,000 Cossacks.
Position of the ten Divisions of the Army:
1. General Von Essen, with forty thousand men, stands near Brobi and Wilsocki, in Macomeicki, New East Prussia. 2. Major General Sedmoratzky, with twenty thousand men, near Johannsburg, Cloys, and Nickolaiken, between the Lakes. 3. The remaining seven divisions which are formed by two van-guards and a corps of cavalry, have their left wing extended towards Neidenberg and Pilsenhein, with their right towards Eglau. 4. Gen. L'Estocq is posted from Saalfeld to Reitenberg and Marienwerder.
French Official Account.
LOEBEAU, JAN. 27.
At the moment when the Emperor's orders were issued for the first corps of the army to go into winter quarters, between the Passarge and the Vistula, Marshal Bernadotte received intelligence that the Russians were on the march, with a considerable corps, to attack and surprise him in his cantonments. It seemed to be their object to advance against Olsderode, and, by that means, to cut off all communication between the first corps and the rest of the grand army; and with this view they attacked, and carried our posts at Liebstadt, consisting of about 200 men on the 23d instant.
As soon as Marshal Bernadotte received certain advice of the enemy's intention, he did not lose a moment. He immediately called in the troops posted at Elbing, and gave orders for those at Christburg to draw towards Mohrungen without delay, where they found the 8th regt.; and though the Marshal had troops at Lolkems and Brandenburg on the Passarge, he succeeded in collecting them all on the 25th at Mohrungen. The Marshal arrived in person about two in the afternoon, just as the enemy had wedged himself upon the heights. He seemed at first to have had a line of cavalry, and manoeuvred in such a manner, as to make it appear that his object was only to reconnoitre.—He wished to gain time, in order to bring up troops against our right wing; but Marshal Bernadotte perceived his design, and immediately, formed in order of battle, while he ordered a battalion of the 9th light infantry to advance against the village of Pfarrerfeldschen, which was defended by several battalions of Russians, and six pieces of cannon. This battalion advanced with all the courage and impetuosity that distinguish French soldiers; and notwithstanding the murderous fire, and the warmth of the action in which the Eagle of this battalion was taken and retaken, the battalion succeeded in defeating the enemy, and gaining possession of the village.
The Russians, who defended themselves valiantly, again attacked the village with three battalions; but the 8th regiment coming to the assistance of the French battalion, they were driven back.
Being compelled to retreat, they formed behind the village, while their right and left extended towards the woods and frozen lakes; they occupied both sides of the road between Mohrungen and Liebstadt.
Our line of infantry, consisted of the 8th, 27th and 94th regiments, immediately advanced against the enemy's front, upon the heights, which was provided with a formidable artillery; a very heavy fire of small arms took place. General Dupont, in the meanwhile, had orders to move from Neustadt to Wiese and Georgenthal, for the purpose of turning the right wing of the Russians—at the same time the troops arrived that were to act against the enemy's front—a battalion of the 32d was the first that advanced. The enemy were driven back, and very roughly handled, and a very great carnage took place among them; they were pursued more than two leagues, until night put an end to the affair.
The Prince of Ponte Corvo was not engaged in the pursuit, because about 2000 Russians infantry and cavalry, cut off from their main body, forced themselves into Mohrungen, which they found without defence; the troops that had defended that place had pushed on, and were busy in plundering the carriages left behind by the Russians.
A battalion of the 8th, which was selected to drive the Russians out of Mohrungen, advanced with fixed bayonets, and overthrew all that opposed them. The 8th Chasseurs followed the remainder, killed a great many, and made a number of prisoners, and, among the rest, the Colonel who commanded the expedition.
This affair is so much the more glorious for the first corps, because the troops began their march of 16 leagues at midnight, to arrive at the field of battle, where the Marshal Prince of Ponte Corvo had scarcely 8000 men, against 14,000 of the enemy's
fresh troops. The enemy's loss is considerable, exceeding 2000 men; ours is reckoned at 7 or 800 killed and wounded.
The French infantry have this day given fresh proofs of their courage and uncommon intrepidity. Notwithstanding the fatigue of a long and tiresome march, they ascended the heights where the enemy was posted, and who defended himself with great obstinacy. Dreadful defiles, and 16 or 18 pieces of cannon, could not restrain them for a moment. The cavalry distinguished itself by the fine charges it repeatedly made upon a superior number, and thus claim a part of the glory. In fine—Generals, Officers, privates, all did their duty: they all vied with each other in courage and devotion.
We have made 400 prisoners, and taken two pieces of cannon. The prisoners assure us, that General Aurep and Prince Dolgouki are wounded.
The result of this glorious day has been the checking of the enemy in his rapid march, and astonishing him by a display of valour almost unexampled; besides preventing the execution of his design, which was to surprise the Grand Army, and compel it to repass the Vistula.
The Prince of Ponte Corvo remained upon the field of battle until two o'clock next day, and made many excellent but slow movements to cover the left flank of the Grand Army, while he gained time to carry off the wounded. He retreated but three leagues on the first day after the affair; he remained 24 hours at Liebstadt, and arrived at Lobau on the 27th, when he took a position behind the place, there to wait for the enemy, who did not make his appearance.
This long and tedious march gave the Grand Army time to collect itself. The Emperor put himself at its head, and has since recommenced operations. The enemy is taken in his own snare, and will soon repent the imprudent step he has taken.
FIFTY-THIRD BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
WARSAW, Jan. 22.—Prince Jerome continues the campaign in Silesia with great activity. Lieut. Gen. Deroi had already invested Kessell, and opened the trenches. The siege of Schweidnitz and that of Neisse continue to be carried on.
General Victor, as he was proceeding to Stettin, in his carriage, accompanied by an aid-de-camp, and a single domestic, was carried off by a party of 25 chasseur, who were scouring the country.
FIFTY-FOURTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
WARSAW, Jan. 27.—Eighty-four pieces of cannon, taken from the Russians, are ranged before the Palace of the Republic at Warsaw.
Five thousand prisoners have been sent to France, two thousand escaped in the first moments of confusion, and fifteen hundred have entered among the Polish troops.
Some battalions of light infantry belonging to Marshal Ney's corps, had advanced twenty leagues from their cantonments; the Russian army took the alarm, and made a movement on its right. The battalions have returned within the line of their cantonments, without sustaining loss.
During this period, the Prince of Ponte Corvo took possession of Elbing, and the country situated on the borders of the Baltic.
Thus have the battles with the Russians cost them a great part of their artillery, all their baggage, and from 25,000 to 30,000 men, killed, wounded, or prisoners.
A Russian column had gone to Liebstadt, beyond the little river Passarge, and had carried off half a company of the Voltigeurs of the 8th regiment of the line, who were at the advanced posts of the cantonment. The Prince of Ponte Corvo, informed of this movement, left Elbing, collected his troops, advanced with Rivaud's division towards the enemy, and met them near Mohrungen.
On the 25th, at noon, the enemy's division appeared, 12,000 strong. We soon came to blows. The 8th regiment of the line fell upon the Russians with inexpressible bravery, to repair the loss which one of its posts had experienced. The enemy were completely routed, pursued four leagues, and compelled to repass the Passarge. Dupont's division arrived just as the engagement was concluded, and could take no part in it.
On the right and centre of the army, the enemy are more than 30 leagues from our posts.
The 55th bulletin is dated at Warsaw, Jan. 29. It gives an account of the battle of Mohrungen, Jan. 25. The French were commanded by the Prince of Ponte Corvo. It says the Russians were driven 2 leagues, lost 1200 killed and 300 prisoners.
BAMBERG, JAN. 29.
The French troops in the north are reckoned at 300,000. The Poles have supplied 40,000, and are to increase that number in the spring. After the reduction of the fortress of Silesia, all the confederates, amounting to more than 100,000, will join the grand army. Reinforcements continue to arrive, so that at the opening of the next campaign Napoleon will command 500,000 men, with whom he expects to execute his vast plans, and obtain a durable peace.
GENOA, JAN. 14.
We are informed that the troops of Piedmont have orders to march, and to unite at Udine.—It is expected that they will move through Dalmatia to Bosnia to assist the Turks against the Russians. From Milan of the same date, letters say that troops are collecting in the Italian kingdom, whose destination is unknown. Some say that Massena is to command them with such troops as are no longer necessary in Naples.
CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 18.
War has been declared against Russia. The whole country is in motion. The Pashas of Romania have had orders to march all their troops to the Danube. An army from Asia is in movement in the same direction. The Patriarch of the Greek Church has warned the Greeks against the perfidies of the Russians.
SILISTRIA, DEC. 23.
The Turks are passing Bulgaria in all directions towards Rossow, and the southern bank of the Danube is covered with troops. The movements are general.
FRANKFORT, JAN. 19.
Letters from Prague and Vienna inform that the Emperor of Austria is
labouring to open negotiations between the belligerent powers, and that this is one of the principal objects of the mission of General Baron Vincent to the head quarters of the French army.
HAGUE, JAN. 23.
Letters from Peterburg of the 19th December, inform that the Emperor of Russia had forbidden not only all commerce, but all correspondence with France or any of the allies of that power.
AUSBURG, DEC. 7.
Little doubt exists of a good understanding between Austria and France. We are informed that the Russian ambassador, Count Radowmowski, has expressed his dissatisfaction at the intercourse which has been kept up for several weeks past.

NEW YORK, MARCH 28.
The fortunate holder of N o 16053, a prize of 10,000 dollars, in the New York Lottery, is Mr. James Morrell, of Savannah—he holds two other tickets, one of which is a prize of 100 dollars, the other 10 dollars.
DISTRESSING.
The following distressing occurrence took place on the 24th of last month, at the Laurel Furnace, about fourteen miles from Union in Pennsylvania; Mr. Daniel M'Collister, after descending in the inside of the stack of the Furnace, to bring out some tools that had been there, became affected with the fumes arising from the charcoal which had been kindled a short time before, and suddenly fell dead.—Mr. Josiah Mitchell then entered the stack to rescue Mr. M'Collister, and also fell a victim to the same deadly vapor. We are informed that the spectators above did not perceive any signs of life in Mr. M'Collister, when Mr. Mitchell went down, who had raised him up and got him on his shoulder, when he instantly fell. The father of Josiah Mitchell, was then let down by a rope, and had conveyed Mr. M. a short distance up, when he became so weak that he was obliged to let him fall. Mr. Mitchell, the father, when drawn up, was apparently lifeless, but recovered in a short time.
Mr. M'Collister was a young man not married. Mr. Mitchell was about twenty-five years of age, and (we are informed) of good character, was much esteemed by his acquaintance. He has left a wife and one child to lament and suffer his loss.
BUCKTOWN, (MASS.) MARCH 28.
On Monday the 16th inst. a Mrs. Pearson a daughter of Capt. Rowe, of Eddington plantation, with her infant a few months old, called on her neighbour, the wife of Joseph Eddy, of that place, who had a child sick. Mr. Eddy was from home; Mrs. Eddy leaving her sick child in the care of Mrs. Pearson, directed a little daughter to make a fire in another room, and went to a neighbor's on an errand for the benefit of her child that was sick. Soon after she was gone, the room in which the fire had recently been made, was discovered to be on fire. The house being dry the flame immediately spread through it, and altho' Mr. Eddy and Capt. Rowe, with some other men were very soon there, it was impossible to extinguish the flames. Mrs. Pearson, at the first discovery of the fire, ran out of the house, but immediately returned after her own infant and the one sick in the cradle, but the fire and smoke bewildered her so much that she was unable to get out—and she, with the two children in her arms, were consumed in the flames. Mrs. Rowe (mother to Mrs. Pearson) arrived at the house after all possibility of saving the unfortunate victims was past; and the scene was rendered doubly distressing, as it was with the greatest difficulty that Mrs. Rowe and Mr. Eddy were prevented from rushing into the flames and sacrificing themselves to save their expiring children.
SALEM, APRIL 11.
MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION.
Few adventures have been more unfortunate than the late one of General Miranda. He was entirely defeated, and a great number of his party made prisoners. Among them were many citizens of the United States, who unaccountably suffered themselves to be seduced into an enterprise, nefarious in principle, and hopeless in prospect. Some of them have been sentenced to the gallows, and others to slavery.
We learn, however, that General Miranda, far from being discouraged with the event of his first attempt, is now at Trinidad, contemplating a second; and that he only waits the arrival of 8 or 10,000 men from England, under the orders of General Tucker, to undertake a fresh expedition of the same nature.
LATE STORM.
Accounts from New-York describe the late gale to have been very severe there. The tide rose from 12 to 18 inches higher than ever known there before.

Portsmouth,
Tuesday, April 14, 1807.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By an arrival at Boston from Liverpool, files of London papers to the 26th February, the latest by 14 latest by 14 days, have been received.—Though our former accounts stated the armies in Poland to be in winter quarters, it appears, that the Russians had made an attempt to attack the French in their cantonments, and had a smart battle with a part of the left wing of their army. Both accounts of the result are given.—All accounts agree that the French were collecting vast forces in the north, and were determined to try the whole strength of France and her allies against Russia. The Russians are taught to believe that this is no ordinary contest, and that the most serious consequences are to be apprehended from their empire from the victories of the French. The French are not insensible of the courage with which the Russians prepare to receive them.—The French and Swedes had recommenced hostilities, and Mortier was pushing into Pomerania.
At the last dates other great operations were said to be contemplated.—Marshal Massena had joined the Grand Army.
The report was renewed, that Turkey had declared war against Russia.
RUSSIANS DEFEATED.
By an arrival at Salem from Bordeaux, we have received by last evening's mail the following translation from the Bordeaux Gazette Extraordinary.
PARIS, FEB. 21, 1807. Several couriers have arrived this evening, and brought news of the events of the 4th inst. and the first advantage gained by the Emperor over the Russian army.
The Prince of Neuchatel writes to her majesty the Empress, from Gross-Glaukau, a letter, dated the 7th, in which are the following details:
"As soon as His Majesty the Emperor approached, the Russian army began to retreat. The 6th at night, it was before Lansberg, to continue its retreat during the night. The Emperor, commanding the advanced guard, attacked the rear of the enemy, which was repeatedly reinforced. Resistance was vain. The impetuosity of those attacks was completely successful. A division of cuirassiers made a fine charge against eight regiments, the flower of the Russian army, and cut them in pieces.—The columns forming the right and left had equal success.
To-morrow we shall be at Koningsberg.
Thus, since the breaking up of winter quarters, we have made 10,000 prisoners—taken 27 pieces of cannon—caused a great number of killed and wounded, without reckoning the events which are still to follow—and which cannot but be more and more disastrous to the enemy."
Other letters announce, that a corps of 20,000 men has been entirely cut off by Marshal Ney, and that Marshal Soult has also obtained a great advantage.
Never did the Emperor and King enjoy better health.— Moniteur.
Account of flour, butter, lard and flaxseed inspected within the city of Baltimore for the last quarter, ending the 31st March, 1807. viz.—145,780 barrels of wheat flour; 5,759 half barrels do.; 1,677 barrels of rye flour; 279 do. of Indian meal; 3,058 kegs of lard; 1,598 do. of butter; 434 hhds. of flaxseed; 90 half do. of do.
The following article is from the New-York Commercial Gazette of the 14th inst.
We have seen a letter from a student at Princeton College, of the 1st inst. mentioning, that in consequence of the expulsion of a few students for misconduct, 145 out of 180 had signed a note of rebellion, and refused to obey the Professors, unless they would reinstate the students that had been expelled. The Professors have refused to retract any thing; and the College is in a most unpleasant dilemma.
The returns from the towns of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, continue to be favorable to the election of Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Lincoln.
The votes from 233 towns stand thus, for Mr. Sullivan, 28,100, Governor Strong 27,730—in the same towns last year Mr. Sullivan had 24,246, & Gov. Strong 25,976 votes.
Gen. Stark in answer to the address from the Republicans who assembled to commemorate the glorious victory of Bennington, says, "I have ever lamented that even one of my companions in arms should have forgotten the principles of the revolution; but infinite art and labour have been applied to envelop their eyes and understandings in a mist: I however fondly hope that the fog is dissolving, and that they will soon see the deadly serpent lurking beneath the goodly tree, and join their brethren in bruising the head of the unprincipled and dangerous monster."

OTEZ! OTEZ! OTEZ!
WHEN the attention of the public is solicited by the author of a recent discovery, and in declaiming on its virtues he becomes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity; but it is not impossible that with such a defect, more noble qualities may be united. "Instead, therefore, of judging liberally respecting the motives of those who make themselves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the results of their matured reflections."
DENNISON'S
Improved Jaundice Bitters;
OR THE
GRAND ANTIBILIOUS CORRECTIVE.
The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, coUiveness, dullness and oppression, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a yellowness is by degrees diffused over the complexion, tinges the urine, and the whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions, and in process of time the blood acquires a tendency to dissolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a dropsy or ends in an apoplexy.
They are particularly serviceable in habitual coUiveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; expel wind in the easiest manner, without immoderately heating or inflaming the bowels; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such a total loss of appetite, listlessness and oppression; in such instances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary passages, they are singularly serviceable in dropsies, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for seafaring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most subject to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately aware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epicures and bon vivants who wish for a delicious and delicate preparative for the appetite, the best companion at the festive board.
** These Bitters are sold by the sole agent, at No. 48, Newbury-Street, corner of Winter-Street, Boston, N. England, who has authorized some person as Vender in all the principal towns in the New England States,—viz.—Mr. CHARLES PEIRCE, for Portsmouth, and Mr. JOSIAH GILMAN, for York, by whom the above may be had Wholesale and Retail.

OUTLINE OF AN OLD BACHELOR.
An old bachelor is a being which nature never intended. He is a creature formed out of all those odds and evens which remained after the great work of creation was concluded, when all the finer materials were used for the composition of such as were intended for social enjoyments, what remained was hardly enough to rub round the sides of the crusty mould in which he was formed.
The principal business of a bachelor is to keep himself quiet. He gets up to lie down, and lies down to get up; no tender, no social impressions enliven his waking hours; no agreeable reveries diversify his drowsy slumbers.
