MR. ADAMS' CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED.
To the Printers of the Boston Patriot. SIRS,
IN page 28, Mr. HAMILTON acknowledges that "the President had pledged himself in his speech, (he should have said in his message) to send a minister, if satisfactory assurances of a proper reception were given." Notwithstanding this, Mr. Hamilton, and all his confidential friends, exerted their utmost art and most strenuous endeavors to prevail on the President to violate this pledge. What can any man think of the disposition of these men towards the personal or official character of the President? But that they were secretly, if not avowedly, his most determined and most venomous enemies! When the measure had been solemnly, irrevocably, determined and could not be recalled nor delayed without indelible dishonor, I own I was astonished, I was grieved, I was afflicted, to see such artificial schemes employed, such delays studied, such embarrassments thrown in the way, by men who were, or at least ought to have been my bosom friends.
This was a point of honour indeed: not such a stupid, fantastical point of honour as that which Mr. Hamilton maintains with so much fanaticism, and much folly: but a point of honor in which my moral character was involved as well as the publick faith of the nation. Hamilton's point of honour was such as one of those Irish duelist, who love fighting better than feasting, might have made a pretext for sending a challenge—and however conformable it might be to Hamilton's manner of thinking, it was altogether inconsistent with the moral, religious and political character of the people of America.
It was such a point of honour as a Machiavilian or a Jesuit might have made a pretext for a war. It was such a point of honour as a Roman senate, in the most corrupt days of that republick, might have made a pretext for involving the nation in a foreign war, when Patrician monopolies of land, and Patrician usury at twelve per cent a month, had excited the Plebian debtors to the crisis of a civil war. But the American people were not Roman Plebeians. They were not to be deceived by such thin disguises.
Surely those who have lately censured Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison, for insisting on knowing the satisfaction which was to be given for the outrage on the Chesapeake, before they revoked a certain proclamation, can never blame me for not insisting on a point that was no point of honour at all.
In page 28, Mr. Hamilton says "When the President pledged himself in his speech (he should have said his message) to send a Minister, if satisfactory assurances of a proper reception were given, he must have been understood to mean such as were direct and official, not such as were both informal and destitute of a competent sanction."
The words "direct and indirect," "official and unofficial," "formal and informal," "competent sanction," &c. appear to have seized this gentleman's mind, and to have rolled and tumbled in it, till they had produced an entire confusion of his understanding.
He here supposes that I did not understand my own message, and patriotically undertakes to expound it both for me and the publick. According to his metaphysics, I meant, by assurances of a proper reception, assurances direct and official, not such as were informal. Let me ask, what more formal or official assurances could have been given than Talleyrand's letters? What more formal, official, or direct, than Mr. Gerry's letters? If I understood Mr. Hamilton, he must have meant to say that my message demanded an ambassador to be sent directly from the Directory to me, for the express purpose of assuring me that they would receive a minister plenipotentiary from me. This, instead of being my meaning was directly the reverse of it—From first to last I had refused to be taken in this snare. I had always refused to demand that a minister should be sent here first, though I had declared explicitly enough in my speech, that a French minister, if sent, should be received. I had always insisted that both the doors of negotiation should be held open. And as I have already said I now repeat that I preferred to send a minister rather than receive one; not only for the reasons explained in a former letter, but because I thought the amende honorable ought to be made at Paris where the offence was given; where it would be known and observed by all Europe—whereas if it had been made at Philadelphia, little notice would have been taken of it by any part of the world.
I am somewhat disappointed in not finding in this pamphlet the word "obscure" applied to Mr. Pichon, because the news-papers in Boston, New-York, and Philadelphia, written by Mr. Hamilton's coadjutors and fellow-labourers in the same field of scandal, had profusely scattered their dull sarcasms on the obscurity of the agent or agents at the Hague. Mr. Pichon obscure? A secretary of legation and charge des affaires obscure! Especially in the absence of his ambassador! The office of secretary of legation is an object of ambition and desire to many of the first scientific and literary characters in Europe. The place is worth about a thousand guineas a year, affords a fine opportunity and
great advantages for travel, and is commonly a sure road to promotion. These secretaries are almost always men of science, letters and business. They are often more relied upon than the ambassadors themselves for the substantial part of business. Ambassadors are often chosen for their birth, rank, title, riches, beauty, elegance of manners, of good humour. They are intended to do honour to their sovereigns by their appearance and representation. Secretaries of legation are selected for their science, learning, talents, industry and habits of business. I doubt not Mr. Locke or Sir Isaac Newton in their younger days would have thought themselves fortunate to have been offered such a place. Would these have been called obscure? Was Matthew Prior or David Hume obscure? Yet both of them were secretaries of legation.
Such reflections as these which were thrown upon Mr. Pichon might impose upon a people who knew no better than the writers, but must have been despised by every man who knew any thing of the world.
Had Talleyrand sent his letters to general Washington to be communicated to me, had he sent them directly to my secretary of state, had he sent them to the Spanish minister to be by him communicated to the secretary of state, or to the Dutch minister for the same purpose, I do not say that I would have nominated a minister in consequence of them, nor will I say that I would not. There is no need to determine this question, because in fact the utmost rigour of diplomatick etiquette was observed. But I will say that my message demanded nothing but evidence to convince my own mind and give satisfaction to the Senate and the publick, that a minister would be received—And if such evidence had arrived to me, in any manner that would leave no doubt in the publick mind I would not have sacrificed the National Neutrality to any diplomatick trams or shackles whatever.
JOHN ADAMS.
Quincy, June 6, 1809.
TIME TO COME!
What will be the effect of the infatuation of Austria and her overthrow, on the affairs of nations?
This is now an inquiry most interesting; it concerns the whole human race; it is but the prelude to a new and more astonishing revolution than the world has known.
Civilization, science, education—manners, religion, morals—power, war, commerce, will undergo such changes, as no previous anticipation nor the boldest conceptions can state with accuracy.
How will it operate these effects, is the theme of enquiry?
It will begin with commerce—that master power, that Proteus which has caused the extremes of the world to be drawn into neighbourhood, which has given wings to inanimate matter, and conquered the elementary powers the air, and ocean, and space;—that Portean power which has spread abroad civilization and crimes—science and rapine, and brought back gold and disease—luxury and avarice—that power commerce, which has, as it were, given to nature a new creation, and make mankind at once more intimate, and more capable of appreciating and practising virtue—and of alternate murder and enslavement—which has embellished the earth by multiplying the resources of refinement and the arts, and configured the monuments which it had erected, by exciting avarice and giving to avarice power to wrestle with genius, and outrage the bounties of nature, and the behests of God to man.
Commerce, which has been the source of so much good and evil is about to avenge mankind upon itself, and by the resources which have hitherto incumbered human society with so many afflictions.
The revolution which is to follow the fall of the Austrian monarchy, will be either a general peace, or such a peace as will place homo de la lic —the enemies of human concord. As the buccaneers of a barbarian age punished those who violated their predatory compact, the enemies of human happiness will be excluded from intercourse with the world—a desolate island will be their precinct, and from the society of nations to whose peace they are opposed they will be by the common consent of the civilized world, excluded.
It is difficult to anticipate with any plausible exactness, the march of the human genius in magnificent enterprizes; but it is not so difficult to investigate causes which we know do exist, and then, by comparison, form a judgment of consequences which seem to be their necessary results.
At what period of time from the year 1700 to the present day, could any man imagine, in advance, what was to follow at the period of one year next after? The most sagacious have been surpassed in their conceptions, and among the statesmen of modern time, only two men have discerned in the progress of events any thing like the consequences that were to arise out of them. These were men of dissimilar character, but of penetration greater than their cotemporaries; we allude to the late Charles J. Fox and Lundsdown (the lord Shelburne of our revolution)—these men saw the follies of the coalitions fomented by the British cabinet, the overthrow of all the thrones of Europe—they foretold them, but were disregarded; and their predictions are now history.

But how is this eventful revolution to be produced—while the fleets of Britain command the ocean without a rival, or even a prospect of a maritime competitor?
The answer to this question may not, perhaps, be so difficult to give, as it may on a superficial view seem to be.
There are means of two several kinds, each of which would, if itself be adequate; and both the means presented by the practice of the very power which provokes them.
The first is, that which has already been begun—and only begun—in the Berlin decree of the French emperor; in other words, a blockade of extrusion, and exclusion from the whole coast of Europe.
The next, still more effective, and what always gives efficacy to law, a measure founded on the principles of action pursued by the outlawed nation.
The navigation laws of England have been the sources of that power which has aggrandized her, and make her the curse of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.
The navigation laws of England need only be copied on the continent of Europe; and what follows?
If she has been aggrandized by the exclusion of ships of other nations?
If she has been enriched by the exclusion of the goods and manufactures of other nations?
If her wealth has been derived from commerce, and the industry of her people nursed by excluding the industry of other nations?
Change the operation—they have but to establish her system.
Those nations who adopt her navigation laws against her, must prosper by retaining their resources and encouraging their own industry.
Her exclusion, or the levy of a duty equal to the value of her commerce, retaliates her navigation laws, upon herself, and retains in the hands of those who before sent their wealth abroad to enrich her, those riches for themselves; and if she trades with them at all, it must be to enrich themselves.
Such inevitability is the process of revolution now going on. The nations of the earth have hitherto been made at once tributary to the avarice, the insolence, and the oppression of England; in the year 1780, all nations rejoiced at the prospect of being rescued from her insolent and odious yoke.
Every civilized nation has suffered from that insolence, and been taxed and impoverished by her spirit of monopoly.
The balance of power will be restored—a law of nations will arise out of the present state of the world, from the necessity of the case, and from the very ambition and spirit of glory which governs the extraordinary man, whom folly and cupidity of Britain more than any human cause has raised up to rule and fix the destinies of Europe.
This appears to us to be the inevitable progression of events, and if good is preferable to evil—if peace be preferable to war—if freedom be preferable to subjection—if concord be preferable to discord—if the possession of human rights be preferable to the incessant aggravation of wrong, then such a revolution, must be hailed by every man who reveres the benignity of his creator, and such a sentiment of joy in the happiness of his species.—Aurora.
FROM THE LEXINGTON REPORTER.
OUR COMMERCE WITH ENGLAND.
"A trade to Britain only, without a free trade to the continent of Europe, is ruin both to the grower of produce and the merchant who exports it."
This truth no person, we are persuaded, who has read the examinations before the British parliament, in the first origin of the orders in council, will have the impudence to deny—or who has any knowledge of the imports of the U. S.—This truth, it is necessary for the farmers of Kentucky to consider well, and never more than at this present moment. An infatuation has gone out from one end of the U. S. to the other (merely for want of consideration only) and that infatuation has been encouraged by a British faction—and many good citizens, both federalists and democrats, in their rejoicing at the prospect of peace, have been led away; that British trade, now the embargo was removed, was all we wished for: that it was meat, drink, clothing and firing!
Indeed one renegado printer of an eastern paper who has often exhibited his idiotism in Congress, says "now we have a prospect of settling our differences with Britain, we care nothing for France."
No other constructions, can be placed on his assertions, than this one—
The commerce of Europe is of no value to the United States!
This is the exact language of a tory and British agent.
We would ask this illuminati , for he never writes but under a claim to inspiration—
Who is to consume our 100,000 hogsheads of tobacco? for Great Britain only consumes 12,000 at most!
Who is to consume all our cotton? for half the cotton imported into Britain, is only spun and then re-exported to the continent of Europe, a trade forever ended!
To what market are our merchants who trade to China, to the East-Indies, who collect coffee and sugar from Batavia, or from the West-India islands, in exchange for provisions, where are they to re-export merchandise?
We import from Great Britain, annually of her manufactures 12 millions sterling—our exports to Great Britain are only four millions sterling.
Will Britain suffer us to import those ar-
ticles into her dominions (and not one fourth of those importations are consumed in the U. States) no, not one cent's worth.
If we have not a free trade to the continent of Europe, how is the difference to be paid for? The country merchant and the importing merchant who deal in British manufactures, are most of all others interested in this free trade—for if our farmers are prevented from procuring a full price for their produce, how can the store-keeper expect the farmer can buy his merchandise?
We do not believe that Britain will suffer a free trade to the continent of Europe, for our vessels. We are certain,
"That a trade to Britain only, without a free trade to the continent of Europe, is ruin both to the grower of produce, and the merchant who exports it."

TENTH BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH ARMY. EBENSDORFF, MAY 23.
After describing the form of the Danube at Ebersdorff, the Bulletin states, that on the night of the 20th, the Emperor crossed the Danube, accompanied by Berthier, Massena, and Lasnes—they took a position on the 21st, on the left bank, the right wing was at the village of Esling, and the left at Gross-spreen.—All these villages were taken.—At four in the afternoon, on the 21st, the enemy showed themselves, and attempted to drive our advanced guard into the river—Vain attempt!
The Duke of Rivoli was first attacked at Gross-spreen, by Bellegarde—He manoeuvred with Molitor's and Legrand's divisions, and rendered all their attacks abortive.—The Duke of Montebello defended Esling.—The Duke of Istria covered the flank with cavalry. The action was severe. The enemy having 200 cannon and 90,000 men, being the remains of their army.
Gen. D'Espagne divided his corps into squares, but he was killed with a musket ball at the head of his troops, and General Soult was also killed. Gen. Nansouty arrived in the evening on the field of battle, and distinguished himself highly. At eight in the evening the battle ended, and we remained masters of the field. During the night Oudinot's corps, Hillaire's division, and two brigades of cavalry, crossed from the right bank to the left. On the 21st, at four P. M. the Duke of Rivoli was engaged with the enemy, who made several successive attacks on the village; but Rivoli at last completely defeated them. The enemy occupying a large space between the right and left wings we took the resolution of penetrating their centre. The Duke of Montebello headed the charge. Oudinot was on the left, St. Hillaire in the centre, and Boudet on the right. The centre of the enemy could not withstand us, in a moment all was overthrown.
The Duke of Stila made several fine charges. It seemed all over with the Austrian army, when at 7 in the morning an Aide de Camp of the Emperor came to inform him that the rising of the Danube had drifted a great number of trees and booms, which in consequence of the events at Vienna, had been cut down and laid on the bank, and that they had broken down the bridges which communicated from the right bank with the little island and with the island in der-Lobau.
All the reserve corps which were advancing were upon the right bank as also part of the heavy cavalry, and all Auerstadt's corps. In consequence of this shocking accident the Emperor resolved to stop the troops from advancing. He ordered the Duke of Montebello to stop on the field of battle, and take his position with the left wing against a curtain which, the Duke of Rivoli covered, and his right wing at Esling. The cannon, infantry, and cartridges which belonged to our parks, could not be brought over. The enemy was in the greatest disorder just at the moment when he learnt the bridges had been broken down—The slackening of our fire, and the concentrating of our army, left him no doubt respecting the unforeseen accident that had happened. All his cannon and artillery equipment were again brought in a line, and from nine A. M. till seven P. M. he made the greatest efforts, supported by 200 cannon to overthrow the French army—but all his efforts turned only to his discomfiture. Three times he attacked the villages, and three times he filled them with his dead. The enemy resumed the position which they had left before the attack began, and we remained masters of the field of battle. Their loss has been great.—Prisoners who have been taken say, that they lost 23 Generals and 60 superior Officers. Our loss has also been very considerable 1100 killed and 3000 wounded. The Duke of Montebello (Lasnes) was wounded by a cannon ball in the thigh on the 22d, in the evening. General Hillaire is also wounded. Gen. Durosnel was killed. The waters at the Danube did not permit the bridges to be rebuilt during the night, and the Emperor ordered the army to pass the little arm from the left bank, and to take a position on the island of In-der-Lobau. We are labouring to replace the bridges, and nothing will be undertaken till they are replaced. [In addition to these particulars a great part of the Bulletin consists of a sentimental description of the interview between Lasnes and Buonaparte, at a time when the Marshall's wound was thought to be mortal, in which, of course, the Duke of Montebello manifested all possible heroism, and evinced the greatest readiness to die for his Emperor; and that the Emperor was melted into tears.]
The Bulletin has, however, other passages from which some inferences may be drawn, as to the extent of the loss sustained by the French. Buonaparte it is said, boasts that the retreat was well conducted, though 200 pieces of cannon were playing upon them. Buonaparte, promises to repair his loss, and declares his intention not to renew the attack till his force is concentrated, and better prepared. He allows the Austrian army to have been well furnished and equipped on the occasion.]
ELEVENTH BULLETIN.
This Bulletin is dated Ebersdorff, 24th May, and relates entirely to the operations in the Tyrol.—The Duke of Dantzick is stated to have entered Innsbruck on the 19th.
TWELFTH BULLETIN.
The Twelfth Bulletin is important only for enabling us to state, that on the 26th, Buonaparte himself was at Ebersdorff, about two miles below Vienna, on the southern bank of the Danube; but his army, we suppose, remained in the Isle of In-der-Lobau, for nothing is said to the contrary. He measured the height of the Danube with an immense chain, which the Austrians took from the Turks, after the siege of Vienna! He speaks of the arrival of troops and of everything, except of operations against the Austrians.
The Danube, he says, will continue to rise till the 15th of June!
LONDON, JUNE 1.
EIGHTH BULLETIN.
Dutch papers have arrived, containing the Eighth French Bulletin. This is dated, Vienna, May 16, and consists of mere abuse of the Austrian Government, without one word of news.
Davoust is on the north of the Danube, at Budweis. The French had advanced into Hungary as far as Regelsdorf; the Austrians are near Presburg.
JUNE 10.
The accounts from the Continent respecting Col. Sebill continue to be most favourable. It is said that he is advancing with a regular equip army of 10,000 men, to besiege Cassel. He has issued a Proclamation, declaring Jerome Bonaparte an outlaw.
He has beaten the Mecklenburgh troops in several actions. The Duke of Brunswick Oels, one of the members of the Rhenish confederacy, has taken the field against the French.
RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.
A declaration has been published against Austria, by the Court of Petersburg, but as it does not go the length of announcing the commencement of actual hostilities, it is not likely to be attended with any other result than a suspension of friendly intercourse between the two nations.
PARIS, JUNE 1.
TELEGRAPHICK DESPATCH.
"On the 25th Prince Eugene completely defeated the enemy, with the loss of 7000 killed and wounded. On the same evening we entered Leoben."
"On the 22d General Macdonald obliged the enemy to capitulate in Labach. A Lieutenant General and 3000 men were made prisoners."
AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL BULLETIN, OF THE DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH.
Published by Order of His Imperial Highness the Archduke Charles.
In pursuance of the command of His Imperial Highness the Generalissimo, the following preliminary Report of the brilliant victory obtained the 21st and 22d of May, is issued on the 23d, from the Head Quarters at Breitenlee:—
On the 19th and 20th, the Emperor Napoleon passed the greater arm of the Danube with the whole of his army, to which he had drawn all the reinforcements of his powerful allies. He established his main body on the island Lobau, whence the second passage over the less arm, and his further offensive dispositions, were necessarily to be directed. His Imperial Highness resolved to advance with his army to meet the enemy, and not to obstruct his passage, but to attack him after he had reached the left bank, and thus to defeat the object of his intended enterprise.
This determination excited throughout the whole army the highest enthusiasm! Animated by all the feelings of the most loyal attachment to their Sovereign, every man became a hero, and the smoking ruins, the scenes of desolation which marked the track of the enemy in his progress through Austria, had inflamed them with a just desire of vengeance. With joyful acclamations, with the cry, a thousand times repeated, of—"Live our good Emperor," and with victory in their hearts, our columns at noon on the 21st, proceeded onward to meet the reciprocal attack of the advancing enemy; and soon after 3 o'clock the battle commenced. The Emperor Napoleon in person directed the movement of his troops, and endeavoured to break through our centre with the whole of his cavalry: that vast body of horse he had supported by 60,000 infantry, his guards, and by 100 pieces of artillery. His wing rested on Aspern and Esslingen, places to the strengthening of which, the resources of nature and of art, had as far as was possible, contributed. He was not able, however, to penetrate the compact mass which our battalions presented, and every where his cavalry showed their backs, while our cuirassiers unhorsed his armour-equip cavaliers, and our light horse carried death into his flanks. It was a gigantic combat, and is scarce capable of description. The battles with the Infantry became immediately general. More than 200 pieces of cannon exhibited on the opposite sides a rivalry in the work of destruction. Aspern was ten times taken, lost, and again conquered. Esslingen, after repeated attacks, could not be maintained. At eleven at night the villages were in flames, and we remained masters of the field of battle. The enemy was driven up in a corner, with the island of Lobau and the Danube in his rear. Night had put an end to the carnage.
Meantime fire boats, which were floated down the Danube, destroyed the bridge which the enemy had thrown over the principal branch of the river. The enemy, however, conveyed over during the night, by continued embarkations, all the disposable troops which he had in Vienna and on the Upper Danube, made every possible effort for the reconstruction of his great bridge, and attacked us at four in the morning with a furious cannonade from the whole of his artillery, immediately after which the action extended along the whole of the line. Until seven in the evening every attack was repelled.
The perseverance of the enemy was then compelled to yield to the heroism of our troops, and the most complete victory crowned the efforts of an army, which, in the French Proclamations, was declared to be dispersed, and represented as annihilated by the mere idea of the invincibility of their adversaries. The loss of the enemy has been immense: the field of battle is covered with dead bodies, from among which we have already picked up 6000 wounded, and removed them to our hospitals. When the French could no longer maintain themselves in Aspern the brave Hessians were obliged to make a last attempt and were sacrificed.
At the departure of the courier the Em. Napoleon was in full retreat to the other side of the Danube, covering his retreat by the possession of the large island of Lobau. Our army is still engaged in close pursuit. The more particular details of this memorable day shall be made known as soon as they are collected. Among the prisoners are the French Gen. Durosnel, Gen. of Division, and Foulet Royer, first Chamberlain to the Empress; also the Wirtemberg Gen. Roder, who was made prisoner at Nusdorf, by the second battalion of the Vienna Landwehr.
SALEM, (MASS.) JULY 22, 1809.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
Arrived at Beverly, last evening, sch'r. Augusta, Stickney, in 33 days from Bayonne, to Hon. I. Thorndike. This vessel was permitted to sail in ballast by giving bonds agreeable to the late order of the French Government. Every thing remained in the state of suspense as to American affairs, when the Augusta sailed, as the last accounts stated received from that country.
Mr. Thorndike, a nephew of Col. Thorndike, who came passenger in the Augusta, informs us that the reports respecting the last battles in Austria, was such as to produce a belief in the minds of all well-informed persons who date to converse on the subject, that the loss of the French was at least 30,000 men.
By the politeness of Mr. Gould, of Beverly, we have been favoured with the loan of a file of French papers, to June 11.
Not having an opportunity to examine the papers till a late hour, we are obliged to content ourselves with an outline of the important contents we find in the latest of them. From the 15th Bulletin, dated 2d June, at Ebersdorff, we learn—The French had had great success in Dalmatia, and had taken the commander in chief of the army opposed to them—The Duke of Ragusa reached Fiume on 28th May, and made a junction with the army of Italy, of which this was the division on the right. The Duke reports that an English squadron had reached Trieste, with a view to seize the Russian fleet; but such dispositions were made as secured the Russian fleet, and the English left the port. A thousand Austrians at Krembs, on the right bank of the Danube, were made prisoners by the troops of Wurtemberg.
By the 14th Bulletin, at Ebersdorff, 1st June, the Bridges on the Danube had been rebuilt, and important preparations had been made on the Danube. After the defeat of Jellachich, the French on the Solza had made many prisoners. Gen. Lasalle had his headquarters near Presburg. Gen. Macdonald had entered Gratz, and had taken immense stores of the enemy. The Duke of Dantzick was at Lintz. The Prince of Ponte Corvo at Vienna. Vandamme at St. Pölten. Order was restored in the Tyrol—Vienna was quiet. The Duke of Montebello (Marshal Lasnes) had died of his wounds.
From the Bayonne Journal of June 11, we learn that the French had every success in Dalmatia. By letters from Gospich, the French had taken more than a thousand prisoners, and having dispersed the enemy the French were advancing. In Turkish Croatia the Turks had risen in arms, and had invaded the Austrian part of that country. They had taken Cetin and Bresnick, and had already possession of a considerable part of that country.
By letters from Trieste the French flag was displayed in that place on the 18th May. The Russians had saluted it by repeated discharges of cannon.
From Petersburg, May 13, we learn, that the Russian troops had received orders to penetrate into the Austrian provinces.
From Prussia we learn that the news of the war between Russia and Austria had reached Warsaw—that the Austrians had left Warsaw, which they had entered, and that the Duke Ferdinand had been forbidden by Prussia to violate the peace of Silesia. On the 13th May, the Russians were within two days march of Warsaw, and the Duke Ferdinand was upon the retreat.
The Saxon army had reached Lintz on the 17th May, and was marching for Vienna.
Couriers for the French Emperor passed Leipzig on the 21st May, from Russia and Sweden.
The Austrian Gen. Muhr had been wounded at the siege of Thorn—the Russians were moving in that direction.
In the campaign in Italy the Archduke John had lost 18,000 men, 60 cannon, and 6 standards.
The French papers contain several bulletins of the army of Germany, of a previous date to those we have mentioned, but we had not time to examine them.
On the 28th April, the Emperor of Russia informed the Austrian Minister, that as the Austrians had attacked the Dutch of Warsaw, he considered himself at war with Austria, and that all diplomatic relations between the two courts had ceased.
The American national brig. Siren had arrived at L'Orient, from Baltimore, with despatches.
CAPTURE OF THE TOULON FLEET.
Reports have been received at New-York, by way of the West-Indies, that the French Toulon fleet, consisting of 5 sail of the line, 7 frigates, and 30 transports, with troops, has been captured by Lord Collingwood in the Mediterranean, and carried to Gibraltar.
NEW BRITISH ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
At a Court of the Queen's Palace, the 24th of May, 1809, present, the King's most excellent Majesty in Council—Whereas, advices have been received of a certain provisional agreement entered into by his Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in America, with the Government of the United States, whereby it is understood that his Majesty's Orders in Council of the 7th January, and of the 11th November, 1807, shall be withdrawn as far as respects the U. States, on the 10th of June next.
And whereas, although the said provisional agreement is not such as was AUTHORIZED BY HIS MAJESTY'S INSTRUCTIONS, OR SUCH AS HIS MAJESTY CAN APPROVE, it may already have happened, or may happen, that persons being citizens of the said U. S. may be led, by a reliance on the said provisional agreement, to engage in trade with and to the said ports and places in Holland, contrary to, and in violation of the restrictions imposed, his Majesty, in order to prevent any inconveniences that may ensue from the circumstance above recited, is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, That the said several Orders shall be suspended, so far as is necessary for the protection of vessels of the said United States, so sailing under the faith of the said provisional agreement, videlicet, That after the 9th day of June next, no vessel of the United States, which shall have cleared out between the 19th of April last, and the 20th July ensuing, for any of the ports of Holland aforesaid, from any port of the United States, shall be molested or interrupted in her voyage by the commanders of his Majesty's ships or privateers.
And it is further ordered, that no vessel of the United States, which shall have cleared out from any port of America previous to the 20th July next, for any other permitted port, and shall, during her voyage, have changed her destination, in consequence of information of the said provisional agreement, and shall be proceeding to any of the ports of Holland aforesaid, shall be molested or interrupted by the commanders of any of his Majesty's ships or privateers, unless such vessel shall have been informed of this Order on her voyage.

and shall have been warned not to proceed to any of the ports of Holland aforesaid, and shall, notwithstanding such warning, be found attempting to proceed to any such port.
And it is further ordered, that after the said ninth day of June next, no vessel of the said United States which shall have cleared out, or be destined to any of the ports of Holland from any other port or place not subject to the restrictions of the said order of the 26th of April last, after notice of such provisional agreements aforesaid, shall be molested or interrupted in her voyage by the commanders of his majesty's ships or privateers.
And his Majesty is pleased further to order and it is hereby ordered, that the several orders of the 7th January, and 11th November, 1807, as altered by the said order of the 26th of April last, shall also be suspended, so far as is necessary for the protection of vessels of the said United States, which shall clear out to any ports not declared to be under the restriction of blockade from any part of Holland, between the 9th day of June and the first day of July next.

COMMUNICATION.
The Federal Editors, partisans of British politics, are once more "thrown back," and seem at a loss whether to unite in maintaining the all just and wise policy of Great-Britain towards the United States, or support the lowered and injured dignity of His Majesty's Minister, Mr. ERSKINE. And as they are always more ready to avenge the cause of England rather than that of their own country, we shall see them dividing, some on the side of their Royal Master, others on that of their Minister, and every one of them advocating and defending every policy, but the true interest of the American States. Tankee.
We are requested to notice, that Mr. WILLIAM L. SMITH, a private in Capt. Beall's company, will deliver a discourse at the State-House, on Friday afternoon next, at 4 o'clock, P. M.
England at her Old Tricks again !
The following American vessels were carried into Kingston, (Jamaica) in the course of last month : Sch. Eliza-Ann of Newburyport, condemned !—Sch. Mercury, of New-Haven, do.—Brigantine San pson, of Saybrook, do.—Sch. Caroline, of Norfolk, waiting trial.
The above vessels are said to have been taken for a violation of the British Orders of April last. This therefore may be considered as the re-commencement of a system of depredation on our commerce, and a practical comment on the disavowal recently made by the British Minister of the arrangement made by Mr. Erskine with our Government.
In addition to the above, we are sorry to add, that the Baltimore papers advise that Charles Baylies, of Boston, with an American Protection, was impressed in May last, from the ship Sally, lately arrived at that port. [Boston Chronicle.]
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
"Miscellania," No. 4, has been received and shall appear next week. The writer has hit upon a pleasing subject, that of culing the beauties of Literature, and selecting the richest gems of science. We hope that he will continue the subject and draw from the vast storehouse of the classics, those interesting tracts, which are obscured from the eye of the common observer and are seen only by the scholastick reader.
"Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear ; Full many a flower was born to bud unseen, And waste its fragrance on the desert air."
MARRIED,
At Providence, Mr. JOSEPH R. MASON, to Miss MARY F. L. WILLBUR.—Mr. ABEL HERINGTON, of Connecticut, to Miss MARY ARRINGTON, of Providence.—Mr. WM. BURROUGHS, of Warwick, to Miss LYDIA CARY, of the former place.
At Tolford, (Con.) Mr. ISRAEL DAY, jun. of Providence, to Miss MARY PERKINS, of the former place.
At Barrington, Mr. THOMAS W. T. BICKNELL, to Miss ELIZA HARRIS, daughter of capt. Benjamin Harris, of Taunton, (Mass.)
DIED,
At Havana, on the 7th July, Mr. GEORGE TEW BARKER, aged 18, son of Capt. Richard Barker, of this town. In the death of this amiable young man, we have a strong and striking proof of the uncertainty of human existence. But a short time since he was warm and vigorous with social mirth ; but is now no longer a tenant of this lower world. To completely delineate his whole character is not our province. As a son he was dutiful and affectionate ; as a brother kind and attentive ; as a friend faithful and true ; as a christian pious and sincere. He was open and manly in his deportment, and remarkable for the urbanity of his disposition. He early professed the christian religion, and always practised what he professed. Nor did his religion desert him in the hour of dissolution : Placing a firm reliance on the merits of his Saviour, he resigned his soul into the hands of that God who created it, and met his fate with calmness and resignation. Let those who knew him and admired the early marks which he exhibited of future eminence and usefulness, console themselves under the reflection, that although no longer a sojourner in this world, he is translated to the realms of happiness, and is participating the rewards of the blessed.
"The sweet remembrance of the just Shall flourish when they sleep in dust."
On his passage from the Havana, Mr. STANTON PECKHAM, aged 21, son of Mr. Henry Peckham, of this town. To an enterprising and persevering disposition, he added a rectitude of conduct that secured him the confidence of his employers. The social virtues were happily blended in him—as a son, brother, and friend, he was all that could render him dear and invaluable. His loss is severely felt by his connections and friends, whose tears can only evince their sorrow for departed excellence.
At Warwick, Mrs. SUSANNAH WESTCOTT, aged 47, wife of Thomas Westcott, Esq.
At Boston, Mr. ZEPHON THAYER, aged 67.—Mrs. SARAH PRINCE, aged 48, wife of Capt. Samuel Prince.—Mr. RUFUS BARBOUR, aged 26.—Miss HANNAH SWAIN, aged 20, daughter of Mr. Thomas Swan.—Mrs. ANN ABRAMS, aged 62, wife of Mr. William Abrams.—Mr. WILLIAM SMITH, aged 38.
At Philadelphia, Mr. THOMAS ALLISTONE.—SUSANNAH WANDER, aged 109—a daughter of one of
the house (black) servants of William Penn, proprietor of Pennsylvania ; born in March, 1701, being the same year in which he left the province on his return to England ; at that time Philadelphia, now the largest city in the United States, was a wilderness, the inhabitants of which were chiefly Indians of the Delaware and other tribes. Her memory was good, and her sight which improved towards the close of her life, remarkably clear ; of late time she became hard of hearing.

SELECTED POETRY.
FATHER AND SON; OR DICK OUTWITTED.
REMOTE from splendour, liv'd of late, In humble, but in decent state, An honest Farmer, known to many, Well skill'd to save and turn a penny. His wife, as frugal as himself, Increas'd the little store of wealth; And, bless'd with children, pigs and geese, Nought could, it seem'd, disturb his peace. But aged grown, the charms of life Had faded, with his blooming wife, And much he wish'd his latter days, To pass in ease, and prayer, and praise; And therefore told his favorite Dick, That he of care and toil was sick; As business almost craz'd his pate, He meant to give him the estate; Provided he would fully prove His gratitude and filial love, Support his parents, and engage To sooth the pillow of their age. Dick thank'd his Sire; with grateful heart, He promis'd to perform his part, And him with rev'rence to obey, Till death should summon him away. Now scenes of plenty and delight, First open'd to his eager sight; Hope promis'd fair, that pleasure's rays Would gild the evening of his days. But anxious, he determin'd soon, Completely to secure the boon. Quoth Dick, "tis folly to delay, We'll close the bargain, sir, to-day; And soon to Justice's repair, Decree it, you shall ride the Mare." Well mounted now the aged don Rides slowly on beside his son, Who, trudging merrily along, Regales his father with a song. Arriv'd at house of Justice, quick The Sire dismounts, by help of Dick; His Honour found, they state the case, He hears them, with a sober face, And soon, with help of usual fee, Completes a Bond and Warrantee. Forms now comp'l'd with business done, To suit the Sire as well as Son, They homeward jog; a certain pride Whisper'd to Dick, he ought to ride— 'Twas clownish thus to trudge along, Desp' d by all the gaping throng. On which, with magisterial air, He bids the father quit the Mare, Affirming, now the Farm was his, He'd do in future, what he pleas'd, Surpris'd, the Sire rebuk'd his son, Thus saucy and impertinent grown. But all in vain, Dick roundly swore He'd be his father's slave no more. The Sire dismounts, and hobbles on, The Mare bears off the hopeful Son. At length the Father reaches home, Extremely lame and weary grown. When night came on, by ev'ning fire Dick met again his injur'd Sire, Who quite goodnatur'd told his son, "There was a flaw in what was done. And had he took the slightest heed, He'd found an errour in the Deed. The lately pur- as'd turnip-lot, The Squire, I apprehend, forgot; Go, fetch the Deed, we'll now insert it, Assur'd, it cannot hurt it." Dick brings the deed, the careful Sire Throws all the writings in the fire. Then turns to Dick, with cheerful air, Who, now, my Son shall ride the Mare!

Original Letters, from an American Traveller in Europe, to his friends in this country.
LETTER THIRTEENTH.
Naples, Dec. 31, 1804.
MY DEAR SISTER,
IT has been observed, with great justice, that the modern Italians though they fall very far short of their ancestors in the noble qualifications and traits of character, yet have many points in which they still strongly resemble them. These particulars, very interesting in the history of the human character, as they serve to shew the permanent and irresistible force of habit, shall be hereafter the special subject of a letter. In no one trait do they more strongly resemble their ancestors than in their extravagant fondness for extensive palaces and magnificent villas. Rome, its environs, and indeed all Italy, were filled anciently with palaces and villas. We do not recollect a single great man, who had not, in the latter periods of the Roman history, his country seats, his baths, and often his private theatre. The same rage still prevails among the Italian nobility, though undoubtedly more limited in consequence of their poverty. Almost every pope has ennobled, enriched, and aggrandised his family. Every great palace or villa belongs to some noble family, which traces a pope in its line of ancestry. These villas and palaces are in many points superior to those of any other nobility, or even of any monarchs in Europe. Paul V. was the founder of the illustrious house of the Borghese . This family possesses an extensive palace and two villas, which on the whole may be considered as the most interesting at Rome. An Italian palace or villa, in point of dimensions, architecture, and ornaments, is an object of admiration; but there is a want of neatness, comfort, and taste in some parts of them, which renders them infinitely less pleasing than those of the English nobility. The Palais Borghese is situated on a fine street, leading from the Piazza d'Espagno to St. Peter's . It is, like almost every Italian palace a large quadrangular building, each of whose several sides cannot be less than 200 feet in length. You enter it into a vast court yard of perhaps 100 feet square. This court yard is surrounded with corridors, under which you pass, secured from the weather, to the different parts of the building. The whole lower floor is usually devoted to stables, coach-houses, and other offices, and is, as you would conceive from the habits of a filthy people, in a state extremely offensive to the senses. The Palais Borghese is however, an exception to this rule; it is more neat, and its lower rooms are devoted to the gallery of paintings. There are in this palace about fifteen or twenty apartments, most always open to the visits of strangers and regularly attended by a concierge to whom you pay a trifling compensation. In each room you find a painted landscape of the paintings, which are all numbered, and you pass round and admire or censure at your leisure. Your catalogue is your companion, your guide; your guide. I do not know the number of original paintings in this palace, almost all of which are however by the first masters; but, as I recollect no room with less than forty in it, there must be at least one thousand fine originals. Every body enjoys these luxuries more than the common. Its habitation is aerial, perhaps in the third
or fourth story; and I have little doubt, that, through surrounded with this rich banquet of genius and talent, which his pride will not let him dispose of, he often dines on soup meagre for want of funds. I do not mean that he literally wants bread, but I am assured that these princes are often in want of a guinea to pay their debts.
The house of Borghese, however, will probably be provided for. The young prince has lately married the widow of general Le Clerc, the sister of the emperor Napoleon. To the Bonaparte family he brought rank, palaces, and the richest treasures of painting and sculpture; and he only demands in return a little Spanish or Neapolitan gold, which twenty thousand French troops can at any time command.
I understand that young Borghese is a very stupid, silly prince; but as his wife has talents, at least for the theatre of love, and fraternal assistance, his want of talents is of no moment.
As the Palazzo Borghese is the most splendid of the Roman palaces, so the Villa Borghese is the most distinguished of the country seats in the Roman territory. It is a very large and elegant seat, laid out with great taste, in a style between that of the French and English pleasure grounds.
Decorated with fountains and jettes d'eau, in which the Romans excel all the world, ornamented with artificial lakes, temples, and ruins, shaded by groves, and laid out in walks, sheltered by lofty hedges, it boasts more magnificence, and affords more variety than any thing of the sort I have met with in Europe. The Romans indeed have a great superiority over all the rest of the world in this species of decoration. They can erect statues of heathen Gods, and of illustrious men; they can distribute temples and ruins, without offending taste, or violating probability.
What a absurdity would it be in our country to erect the ruins of a Roman temple, when our history excludes the possibility of such a fiction! If we would adhere to probabilities, we should confine ourselves to wigwams and beaverdams, instead of ruined palaces or shattered theatres.
The moderate nature of the Italian climate is equally favourable to delicious retreats of this nature. Their hedges are composed of the Laurusstinus , now in bloom, of the laurel and the myrtle. The box and myrtle put forth their leaves and flower buds in December, in this climate, and are in flower in January and February.
When you peep through the hedges, you see the orange sinking down under its golden burden, and the citron arrests your attention by its fragrant perfume.
No place in the world unites all these charms in a higher degree than the Villa Borghese . It has a fine carriage road throughout its extent, and it is very liberally thrown open to the publick for a promenade.
The palace of this villa is as superb as its grounds are enchanting. Of an imposing magnitude, richly decorated with antique bas-reliefs in the front, its exterior gives you some promise of the noble feasts within. Nine elegant rooms on the basement story, whose pillars, floors, and even wainscots are of the richest marble, of infinite variety, are laid open for the display of the finest exhibitions of sculpture existing in any private cabinet in the world.
I shall not attempt to describe them; many excellent remarks have been made on them by Dr. Moore, but there are a few, which I cannot refrain from noticing.
There is a Grecian bas-relief, though of a Roman subject; Curtius on his horse, leaping into the chasm to save his country. This is executed in marble. The expressions of terror in the attitudes and countenance of the horse, and of despair in that of Curtius , are imitably fine.
There are three pieces of statuary of Bernini , who lived about a century since, and who is therefore classed with the moderns, but whose works are, I think, equal to those of any ancient artist. The first is David with his sling; and his hand drawn back in the attitude of immediate attack; his countenance is severe; anger is inimitably expressed, but I think, with many others, that it is deficient in dignity; it is the anger of a mean mind; it is not the soul of David , commissioned, as he must have felt himself to be, by the God of battles! The anatomical accuracy of this statue, and its attitudes, appear to me fine. The second is Aeneas , in the act of bearing off his father, with the little Iulus by his side. It is a tender, pathetic story, but I do not think that Bernini has rendered it as touching as he might. But his third piece makes ample amends for any trivial defects in the other two. The subjects are one of Ovid's ; the flight of Daphne , and the pursuit of Apollo . The sculptor has chosen the moment when the God of musick and of light had overtaken the Nymph, and when she was, to spare her disgrace, converted into a tree. The attitudes of both figures are enchanting. Her uplifted hands are already springing into leaves and the tender feet are striking roots into the earth. Nobody would have conceived that marble could so well have expressed this singular mythological fable. The connoisseurs of our party give this piece a preference, in some respects, to even the Apollo di Belvedere , or the Venus di Medici , at Paris.
A group is undoubtedly more interesting than a single figure, and Bernini has here had it in his power to unite the beauties of both the Apollo and the Venus ; in addition to which he has contrived to shew his skill in the representation of the Metamorphosis .
In this admirable villa there are also the celebrated Seneca , dying in the bath, too exquisitely done. Death, with all his horrors, is too accurately described by the faithful chisel. The beautiful Hermaphrodite , lying on a couch; the fighting Gladiator ; the Centaur conquered by Cupid , are all chief d'oeuvres of Grecian artists. On the whole, I can say without enthusiasm, that had there been no other palace at Rome but that of Borghese , I should have thought myself amply repaid for the visit. But I much question, whether we derive more pleasure from this superabundance of beauties, than if they were more limited in number. We should visit them oftener, and have more correct, definite, and stronger impressions.
I shall leave the description of the Palais Dorja , Giustiniani , Barberini , Aldobrandini , Medicis , and Ludovis , till my return and shall now take my leave of Rome, to introduce you to wonders of another species; to smoking mountains, and flowing lava; to boiling springs and excavated hills; to sulphurous exhalations, and mephitick vapours. You will pardon me, if my letters small too strongly of these topics, for I consider myself writing upon volcanoes, and rambling over subterraneous fires. Adieu.
