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 ANTIBILOUS CORRECTIVE. The Jaundice is discovered by want of appetite, coarseness, 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 costiveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pungently aromatic; expel wind in the stomach, 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 preparation 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 Vendor in all the principal towns in the New England States,—viz.—Mr. CHARLES PIERCE, for Portsmouth, and Mr. JOSIAH GILMAN, for York, by whom the above may be had Wholesale and Retail. ALSO FOR SALE AS ABOVE, SCOTCH OINTMENT. A safe, certain, and speedy cure for the ITCH. April 12—(9m.)

FROM THE AURORA.
Politics for Farmers.—No. 9. We were about to change the creation of the discussions in these numbers, when the Bolton Chronicle of the 15th ult. presented to us in a sound and well reasoned essay, under the signature of Franklin, an exhibition of the Politics of the United States and the views of her enemies, in an impressive point of view—from this essay we shall incorporate and adopt a few extracts.
"There is a party in this country who call themselves federalists. That party is headed and urged on by leaders who are restless as the sea, cruel as the most fierce anger, and relentless as the grave. Would those leaders avow the intended consequences of their measures, the great body of the party which now supports them, would retire and leave them to be execrated by all posterity. Their mantles of hypocrisy would fall from their shoulders; the masks of deceit would drop from their faces; their schemes of ambition and avarice would lie in the dust.—They would be shunned as a waiting pestilence."
"These leaders command their own and their party's wealth; and which, in Massachusetts, and by an artful change in the form of riches, from individual to corporate possessions, embraces nearly the wealth of the whole state; at least it turns its efficacy to the use of those leaders in their dangerous and destructive influence."
"Those disorganizing, traitorous leaders, induce their deceived party to maintain a great number of Gazettes called by them federal newspapers. In those, the truth, in regard to the neutral and real interests of the country, can never be admitted. Slanders against the rulers of the nation, against the administration of government, and against foreign powers fill one half the columns.—The other half is devoted to eulogies on the English government, her fleets and troops—with a manifest intention to disturb our neutral ground, and to involve us as an ally of England in her European contests. Does any one doubt this? Let him read their papers, and suppose that the nations abused and slandered, with their rulers, have the same feelings as we have, as all men have, and the most stubborn party prejudice must yield to the fact."
"What is this for? Can it end in anything of advantage to us as a republic? It certainly cannot. It may oppress us with the expence of an army; it may sink our wealth in the ocean under the weight of a fleet. It may turn our plow shares into swords, and our pruning hooks into spears. It may shut the freights of Gibraltar against our Mediterranean trade, or furnish the Italian dominions of France there, the Spaniards at cape Finisterre, and the Algerines, Tripolitans, and Tunisians, with ships to destroy our commerce in those seas. It may turn our numerous India and China ships, now daily arriving with incalculable riches, into fuel for the multitude perishing with poverty."
"Whoever reads this, and wishes to know the truth, has the evidence under his own eye. He will reflect on the question, Whether he has not himself observed, that some of his neighbors have appeared to be disappointed, when the news of hostilities with the Spaniards on the banks of the Mississippi or Sabine have been contradicted? Whether he has not seen men who have cherished the hope of our engaging into war with Spain, as the most powerful stimulus to a daring project? If their wishes have proceeded from any other source than a British influence, let that source be pointed to—It is not contended that all who have cherished those destructive wishes, have acted from such base motives; they have generally, been deceived by a few men, who have artfully concealed their wishes and designs.—Yet these consequences are plain and undeniable. Spain is an ally of France, at war with England; France must support Spain against us; France has the possession of the Italian peninsula, of the states of Venice, of the united provinces; with the Austrian and Prussian empires lying silent at her feet; and her emperor, who is every day, in the most impolitic, ungenerous and abusive manner made the sport of the federal papers, commands more troops and has more armies, and a greater revenue than any of the Roman Cæsars ever had. You will find those deceitful men who call themselves federalists, suggesting from one weak mind to another, that BONAPARTE WILL INVADE OUR

COUNTRY.—Yet they are pursuing every measure to induce him from repentance, raised by their perfidious politics, to undertake it. At the same moment we are prognosticating so terrible a calamity, they are using every wicked measure that malice can conceive, or falsehood spread, to weaken our nation and to render our union contemptible.
"If this is federalism, then federalism is the bane of our country; and will be unless checked by the public opinion, the source of our destruction as a nation."
These sentiments are those of an honest and enlightened mind; the principles laid down and the inferences drawn from them are not controvertible. Put the case in another position which is here stated.
We have no national cause of complaint against France.—France has manifested the most liberal dispositions towards the United States.
The principles of our government, and the wishes of our people—the farmers, seventeen twentieths of the whole, are for "peace and friendship with all nations, entangling alliance with none."
The king of Prussia deemed a publication in a Paris newspaper derisive of official complaint by his ambassador.
The English government prosecuted in London by their king's attorney general, a publisher of Libels on the chief of the French nation.
As the above quoted writer pertinently observes; one half of certain papers in the United States is filled with slanders against a nation with which we are at peace, and the other half with eulogies on a nation which is every day plundering, murdering or molesting us.
These extraordinary modes of conduct, Farmers of America, are pursued by the very men who continue the abuse of your government with the eulogies on the oppressive government of Britain.
What other intention or view can these persons contemplate, that the ruin of your prosperity and the sacrifice of your peace. If France acts with a magnanimity and forbearance towards the United States, which her policy and her knowledge of the policy of neighboring nations did not admit her to pursue towards them; it is only a new proof of the liberality of her views towards us.
But does it not also prove, that when those who seek to provoke hostility know these facts, that their conduct must be traced to one or other, (or both) of two sources—their hatred of their own country and government, or their corruption by the government they eulogize.
The grumblers who affect to despise the policy of buying where we might conquer, which the London Royal papers say is a "policy unknown to the old world"—who grumble about the Louisiana purchase, and call it a tribute, are requested to observe the following remarks from one of America's greatest sages and patriots.
Extract from a letter written by that great Philosopher, and wise politician, the late Dr. FRANKLIN, to a friend in Boston, not long before his death.
"I AGREE with you perfectly in your disapprobation of war. Abstracted from the inhumanity in it, I think it wrong in point of human prudence; for whatever advantage one nation would obtain from another, whether it be part of their territory, the liberty of commerce with them, free passage on their rivers, &c. &c. it would be much cheaper to purchase such advantage with ready money, than to pay the expence of acquiring it by war. An army is a devouring monster, and when you have raised it, you have in order to support it, not only the fair charges of pay, cloathing, provision, arms and ammunition, with numberless other contingent and just charges to answer and satisfy, but you have all the additional knavish charges of the numerous tribe of contractors to defray, with those of every other dealer who furnishes the articles wanted for your army, and takes advantage of that want, to demand exorbitant prices. It seems to me as if statesmen had a little more arithmetic, or where more accustomed to calculation, wars would be much less frequent. I am confident that Canada might have been purchased from France for a tenth part of the money which England spent in the conquest of it. And instead of fighting with us for the power of taxing us in good humor, by allowing us to dispose of our money, and now and then giving us a little of hers, by way of donation to colleges or hospitals, for cutting canals, or fortifying posts, she might easily have drawn much more by our occasional voluntary grants and contributions than ever she could by taxes. Sensible people will give a bucket or two of water to a dry pump, that they may afterwards get from it all they have occasion for. Her ministry were deficient in that little point of common sense; and so they spent 100 millions of her money—and after all, lost what they contended for."
LOUISIANA PURCHASE.
In the (British) New Annual Register for 1805, we find the following handsome attestation to the correctness of the policy which secured to us the important acquisition of Louisiana; and we find, likewise, a just appreciation of the characteristic policy which has guided the administration from its accession to power to the present day; a policy no less calculated to excite the admiration of unprejudiced minds on the other side of the Atlantic, than to diffuse happiness on this. Let us return the compliment, and do justice to the liberal sentiments of the enlightened editors of this deservedly celebrated work:
"The acquisition of Louisiana is of importance to America in a variety of respects. As a territorial enlargement, its value is by no means inconsiderable; but as its possession by the French would almost infallibly have sooner or later disturbed the tranquillity of the United States, their exclusion is of much greater importance to the progressive prosperity of those peaceful regions, than any advantages resulting from a mere augmentation of the resources of the state. The union of Louisiana to the American provinces produced at first some resistance on the part of the Spanish government. It was however, easy to foresee, that such resistance would be of short duration. For as the Spanish government has long ceased to exercise the powers of independent sovereignty, the imperious dictates of the French government would soon have commanded unconditional obedience. It was not the least of the advantages resulting from the purchase of Louisiana, that the stipulated sum of 3,750,000 dollars was paid to the citizens of the United States for claims upon the French government, for supplies to the West India Islands, demurrages on vessels from France, vessels taken, and not restored agreeably to a convention concluded between France and the United States, and for supplies under contracts made by officers of the French government in the United States.
"The tranquility and progressive improvement of the American states present an enviable picture of internal happiness and prosperity. While the nations of Europe are exposed to the danger of being involved in general warfare, peace, with all its attendant blessings, diffuses its benign influence over the happy regions of the western world. Instead of pursuing the vain phantom of political grandeur, the citizens of the United States by the steady cultivation of agriculture and commerce, and by the gradual amelioration of internal policy, are laying an extensive foundation for national strength, without engaging in such relations with other powers as are likely to lead to its abuse, or to produce any effects but those which are calculated to promote the real prosperity of the people."

POSEN, JAN. 26. A disquiet begins to prevail in Russian Poland, doubtless from an impatience respecting the issue of events which may change their condition, and give them a country.
Memel, where the King of Prussia now is, is the last town of Prussia towards the north, and but a few leagues from the Russian territory.
Gen. Bennigsen, who is in actual command of the Russian grand army, was born in Hanover, and is about 60 years of age. His quarter-master General is named Steinheil, and directs all his operations.
FRANKFORT, FEB. 9. The last letters from Constantinople mention great preparations of the Porte by land and sea. They expect in the city from 15 to 20,000 Asiatic troops, and every precaution is used to prevent any evils from the march of these troops. All the Pashas have orders to march their contingents into the neighbourhood of Adrianople. It is expected that the Ottoman army collected in this quarter will amount to 180,000 men. The grand Visir is to command in person. The Captain Pasha pushes with great zeal all their Maritime preparations, and the works in the arsenal continue day and night, and several ships of the line and frigates will be ready to sail in a few days.
From the Imperial Camp at Warsaw, January 29, 1807.
The Senate were to meet on the 17th of February, and the following is the address of the Emperor:
SENATORS—We have ordered our Minister of Foreign Affairs to communicate the treaties we have made with the King of Saxony, and with the different sovereign princes of that house. The Saxon nation lost its independence on the 14th October, 1756. It recovered it on the 14th October, 1806. After 50 years, Saxony, made free by the treaty of Posen, ceases to be a province of Prussia. The Duke of Saxe Weimar, without any previous declaration, has embraced the cause of our enemies. His fate ought to serve as an example to all the weaker princes, who, without being connected by fundamental laws, enter into the quarrels of great nations; but we have yielded to the desire to see our reconciliation with the house of Saxony complete without interruption. The Prince of Saxe Coburg is dead. His son being found in the camp of our enemies, we have sequestered the principality.
We have also ordered, that the report of our minister for foreign affairs, upon the dangers of the Ottoman Porte, should be put before your eyes, a witness, that, from our early youth, in all the evils war has produced, our happiness, our glory, our ambition, have been placed in conquests and labours for peace. But the nature of our present circumstances demands our first concern. Fifteen years of victory have failed to give to France an equivalent for the partition of Poland, which a single campaign in 1778 might have obtained. Ah! who can calculate the duration of the wars, the number of the campaigns, which must be endured at some future day to repair the evils which may result from the loss of the Empire of Constantinople, if a love of unfeasonable repose, and of the pleasures of the city, should prevail against the wile counsels which provide against future evils? We shall leave to our posterity an inheritance of wars and calamities. The Greek Emperors, raised in triumph from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, will shew us, even in our own days, our provinces attacked by a cloud of fanatics and barbarians, and if in this struggle, found to be too late, civilized Europe should perish, our guilty indifference will excite the just complaints of posterity, and will be a name of disgrace in history. The Emperor of Persia, vexed in his dependent states, as Poland was for 60 years, and as Turkey has been for 20 years, by the policy of the Cabinet of Petersburg, is animated by the same sentiments as the Porte, has taken the same resolutions, and is marching in person upon the Caucasus to defend his frontiers.
But already has the ambition of our enemies been confounded; their army has been defeated at Pultusk and at Golymin, and their disheartened battalions fly at the sight of our eagles. In such circumstances, peace to be rendered sure, ought to secure the independence of these two great Empires. And if by the unbounded ambition and injustice of our enemies, war must still continue, our people will continue to discover themselves worthy, by their energy, and their love to our person, of the high destiny which will crown all our labours, and then only can a stable and long continued peace yield for our people, after these days of glory, times of peace and happiness.
NAPOLEON.
WARSAW, JAN. 20. NEW GOVERNMENT. The Emperor Napoleon has ordered the organization of a Provisional Government for Poland.—It consists of a Directory of seven members—of whom Marshal Malakowski is President.
"The Government Commission hastens to inform the inhabitants of these countries of the supreme will of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, and to inform them that its functions have commenced. Poles! accept with gratitude this new proof of the benevolent care of Napoleon. Contribute to the common good to the utmost of your power and receive our assurance that we will not neglect any thing that can add to the present and future welfare of our country."
"The present Protocol shall be printed, and inserted in the newspapers, and published in the towns &c. by sound of trumpet."
"Given at Warsaw, in the Session of the Government Commission, Jan. 13, 1807."
"Stanislaus Naeiewicz Malachowski, President."
HAGUE, JAN. 15. A terrible explosion of a vessel with 250 barrels of powder at Leyden, on 12th January, was felt here and at Amsterdam, at Rotterdam and ten leagues round. The destruction of houses was great, and the number of victims already known amount to 300. In one school which had 65 pupils, only 5 were saved. As soon as his Majesty heard of this event he hastened to Leyden to afford every assistance. Persons of distinction of both sexes are among the sufferers, and among others the celebrated Professor John Luzac who formerly directed the Leyden Gazette.
LATEST FOREIGN, By an arrival at Boston, in 28 days from London (city.)
TRANSLATION of a Letter from General the Baron De Bennigsen to His Majesty the Emperor of Russia.
On the Field of Battle, Preussisch-Eylau, Jan. 27.—[Feb. 8.] 1807.
SIR, I am truly happy to have it in my power to inform your Imperial Majesty, that the Army, the Command of which your Majesty has deigned to confide to me, has been again victorious. The Battle which has just taken place has been bloody and destructive. It began on the 26 Jan.—[7 Feb.] at three o'clock in the afternoon, and lasted until six o'clock in the evening of the 27 Jan.—[8 Feb.]
The Enemy was completely defeated; one thousand Prisoners, and twelve Banners of Colours, which I have the honor herewith to transmit to your Majesty, fell into the hands of the Conquerors. This day Bennigsen attacked me with his best Troops, on my centre, and on both wings, but he was repulsed and beaten on all sides. His Guards repeatedly attacked my centre without the smallest success. After a very brisk fire, they were repulsed at all points by the bayonet and by charges of the Cavalry.—Several columns of Infantry, and picked Regiments of Cuirassiers, were destroyed. I shall not fail to transmit to your Majesty, as soon as possible, a detailed Account of the memorable Battle of Preussisch-Eylau. I think our loss may perhaps exceed six thousand men, and I certainly do not exaggerate when I state the loss of the Enemy at considerably more than twelve thousand men.

Abstracts of the 56th, 57th, and 58th Bulletins of the Grand Army, dated at Arensdorf the 5th, and at Preussisch-Eylau, the 7th and 9th February.
"From the 5th to the 7th there have been between the two Armies several obstinate battles, which terminated by the retreat of the enemy to the other side of Eylau, where our troops took a position."
"The Grand Duke of Berg, at the head of the cavalry, fell upon the hostile army. Two lines of Russian infantry were broken;
two squadrons of the guards twice traversed the whole army of the enemy. This brilliant and incredible charge, which had been done more than 20,000 of the enemy's infantry, would have instantly decided the victory, had it not been for a wood, and some difficulties in the ground. The loss of the enemy is immense—ours is considerable.—Three hundred mouths of fire vomited death from one side and the other for 12 hours. The victory, for a long time uncertain, was at last ours."
"The enemy retired beyond the Pregel. Marshal Augereau is wounded by a ball.—Our loss amounts to 1900 killed, and 5760 wounded. Seven thousand Russians were counted in the field of battle. Thus the offensive expedition of the enemy, which had for its object to beat down upon Thorn, by turning the left wing of the Grand Army, has been of the most direful consequences to them. 12 or 15,000 prisoners, as many more hors de combat, 13 standards, and 45 pieces of cannon, are the trophies, for which we have paid too dear, without doubt, by the blood of so many brave men. This expedition is concluded, the enemy beaten, and driven 100 leagues from the Vistula."
59th Bulletin of the Grand Army.
"Preussisch-Eylau, Feb. 14.—The enemy is taking a position behind the Pregel. Our light troops have approached Konigsberg, but the Emperor has judged it advisable to put his army into winter-quarters, for the purpose of being ready to cover the line of the Vistula. The number of cannon taken since the battle of Bergfried, amounts to nearly 60. The 24 which the enemy left behind them at Eylau have been sent to Thorn."
"The enemy has circulated an account, every syllable of it is false. The enemy attacked the Vistula, and was continually repulsed.—He acknowledges to have sustained a loss of 20,000, in killed and wounded.—His loss is a great deal more. It is false that he took nine Eagles, as that he took the town."
"The Grand Duke of Berg has still his head-quarters at Wittenberg, close upon the Pregel. Gen. Houtpoult has died of his wounds."
"Marshal Lefebvre advanced on the 12th towards Marienwerder, where he met with seven squadrons of Prussians, and defeated them, taking 300 prisoners, (among whom were a Colonel, a Major, and several officers,) besides 250 hors. Those who escaped from this battle took shelter in Dantzig."
60th BULLETIN.
"Preussisch-Eylau, Feb. 17.—The conquest of Silesia proceeds. Schweidnitz has capitulated. The Prussian Governor of Silesia is shut up in Glaz."
"The siege of Glatz is carried on with vigour. Since the battle of Eylau the enemy have collected themselves behind the Pregel. We were in hopes of driving them out of that position, but the river remained covered with ice; but the thaw continues, and the river is a line of separation, beyond which the French have no interest in pursuing the enemy? Three thousand Russian prisoners have been liberated near Wittenberg, by a band of 1000 Cossacks."
"The cold weather is quite gone; the snow is everywhere melted; and the present season exhibits the singular appearance of the later end of April in the middle of February. The army is going into cantonments."
61st BULLETIN.
Landberg, Feb. 18.—The battle of Eylau was at first represented by several of the enemy's officers as a victory. This was believed at Konigsberg the whole of the evening of the 9th. However, the Russian army and the Head-quarters making their appearance soon after, excited a great alarm. Presently some cannon shots were heard, and the French were seen masters of a small eminence, which commanded the whole Russian camp.
The Russian General declared he would defend the place, which in some degree encircled the despondency of the inhabitants, who expected nothing less than to undergo the same fate that Lubec had experienced; but, happily for the city of Konigsberg, it was not among the objects of the French General to drive the enemy out of his position!
"The number of dead in Generals and Officers of the Russian army is very considerable."
"In consequence of the battle of Eylau, upwards of 5000 wounded Russians, left upon the field, and in the neighboring hospitals, have fallen into our hands. Part of them are since dead; the others, who were slightly wounded, have encircled the number of the prisoners of war; 1500 have been sent back to the Russian army! It is thought the Russians had 15,000 wounded, exclusive of the 5000 that fell into the hands of the French."
"The army is gone into quarters. Marshal Mortier has advanced into Swedish Pomerania."
PROCLAMATION.
"Soldiers!—We began to enjoy a little rest in our winter quarters, when the enemy fell upon our advanced corps, and shewed themselves upon the Lower Vistula. We marched against them. We have pursued them upwards of thirty leagues. They have fled to their entrenchments, and again passed the Pregel. In the battles of Bergfried, Deppen, Heilsberg, and Eylau, we have taken sixty-five pieces of cannon, sixteen standards, and killed, wounded and taken prisoners, 40,000 men. Since we have baffled the designs of the enemy, we shall again return to the Vistula and occupy our cantonments! Should the enemy then dare to disturb us, it shall be to his sorrow, for beyond the Vistula, as well as beyond the Danube, in the middle of a hard winter, or in the beginning of autumn, we will always remain French soldiers, and soldiers of the Grand Army."
POLAND.
WARSAW, FEB. 16. The Emperor had a horse shot under him in the battle of the 8th. The French still hold Brannau, from the Russians.
It is reported Pashwan Oglou is dead, WARSAW, FEB. 23.
General Savary, who, on account of the indisposition of Marshal Lannes, commands the 5th corps of the grand
army, completely defeated, on the 16th inst. the Russian corps under Gen. Essen. This General and Gen. Muller had received from Moldavia a reinforcement of six regiments; Prince Italiniky had joined them with 8000 men; and the whole corps, at least 30,000 men strong, took a position near Wysky. General Savary who expected to be attacked by them, detached Gen. Gazen to attack the Russians, who fell on one of his corps and routed it. The Russians made a second attack on Ostrolenka, where a severe conflict took place in the streets. The enemy was repulsed, but joined the corps opposed to Gen. Gazan. Both armies formed in line of battle, and a general engagement took place. The Russians were repulsed on all points, and pursued three leagues, until seven o'clock at night. They lost 2 standards of colors, 6 pieces of cannon, and 1,500 men killed. Prince Italiniky was dangerously wounded. The French General Campana was killed, General Rigaud wounded, and General Oudinot had a horse killed under him. On the 17th early, the French army was still in pursuit of part of the Russian horse.
GERMANY.
ELBE, MARCH 1, 1807.
The battle of Eylau, fought within five [German] miles of Konigsberg, was one of the most bloody in the present war. The Russian column, which after the affair at Mohrungen, was intercepted by the French main army, only effected a junction with its main body by cutting its way through the French, with great loss. Had not this junction been effected, Konigsberg, and all its rich magazines would have been theirs. But since the 18th that city has been free from apprehensions.
The Polish General Kosinski, who commanded Dombrowski's advanced guard, has been taken prisoner by a party of Prussians, which harasses the country from Golberg to Frankfort.
OF AUSTRIA.
LONDON, MARCH 13.
The Baron Vincent, Austrian Minister at Bonaparte's H. Q. has intimated to Tallyrand, his intention to return to Vienna:—He has demanded the restoration of Brannau, (which the French continue to hold and fortify) and an explanation of Bonaparte's intentions in regard to Poland. Since the affair at Eylau, it is said, Austria has assumed a higher tone.
March 17.—The Packet from Heliogoland (near the Elbe) reports, that Austria had determined to join Russia, with 200,000 men. Accounts from Vienna, of the 14th, state that the Austrian armies were perfectly prepared for war.

RICHMOND, APRIL 3.
EXAMINATION.
The examination of Mr. Burr, before Chief Justice Marshall, which began on Monday, was continued on Tuesday at the Capitol. Mr. Hay, District Attorney, opened the examination and charged Col. Burr, with being guilty of a Misdemeanor, and High Treason. He adduced the testimony of Gen. Eaton, Gen. Wilkinson, &c. Mr. Wickham in behalf of Col. Burr combated the charges.—Mr. Randolph (formerly Secretary of State) followed on the same side. They asserted that Col. Burr's objects were of a nature to be serviceable to the United States. Col. Burr addressed the Judge in a speech of about 10 minutes, and asserted his innocence. The Attorney Gen. Rodney closed; and the Chief Justice said he should deliver his opinion the next day, in writing.
On the next day the Chief Justice gave his opinion at much length,—at the close of which he observed, he should not commit Col. Burr; but should hold him to bail, in the sum of 10,000 dollars; which was given; and Messrs. Thomas Taylor, John G. Gamble, John Hopkins, Henry Heth, and William Longburne, became his sureties.—He is recognized to appear before the Federal Court, in Richmond, the 22d May.
BOSTON, APRIL 15.

Commercial.—Mr. Forbes, the American Consul in Hamburg, has made it known to his countrymen, that American vessels have full liberty to sail from the Elbe, in ballast, or with such merchandise as is not prohibited, certified as such by him. The English cruisers permit American vessels to enter the Elbe, on like conditions.

SUMMARY OF THE LATEST NEWS FROM EUROPE.
THE New Galen, from London, as usual has brought very late, and highly interesting news from the theatre of war in Europe. We have a continuation of the French Bulletins to No. 62; and Russian official accounts to the 15th February. It will be recollected, the last accounts stated, that a Russian light corps, under Gen. Tolly, had advanced from the Russian winter cantonments to the vicinity of the Vistula, and menaced Bernadotte's corps of the French Grand Army; that this movement produced the battle of Mohrungen, and an order from Bonaparte for the retreat of Bernadotte's corps; that the Russian light column was reinforced by a division of the main army under Bennigsen; and that the Emperor Napoleon, under a ruse de guerre of visiting his cantonments; suddenly broke up his winter quarters, concentrated his divisions, and by a bold and rapid movement attempted to cut off and annihilate the advanced Russian division. The plan appeared to be well conceived; and a French official paper of the 27th January, boasted, that the "Russians were taken in their own snare."
A part only of Bonaparte's plan succeeded. He surrounded a part of the Russian division; and obliged them to cut their way through his ranks; which they did with much loss. The Russians, unable to resist the whole French army began a rapid and well ordered retreat towards Konigsburg, fighting and retreating daily, until Bennigsen took a position behind Prussian Eylau, about 20 miles south-west of Konigsburg. At this place a bloody conflict ensued. The French army was commanded by Bonaparte; and the Russians by Gen. Bennigsen. The contending force was estimated at 100,000 men on each side. After a contest of 27 hours, during a part of which there was a severe snow storm—and during which prodigies of bravery were exhibited—the battle ended; and a victory was claimed by both parties. The official accounts of both sides, written after the battle, were dated near the scene of action. The French bulletins say, the Russians 'chose to retreat'; but there is no account of their chusing to follow them. The loss on both sides was immense. Our readers, from a perusal of the accounts, must form their own judgments of the extent. Two days after the battle the Russians passed the Praga, and entered Konigsburg, and at the last dates were concentrating their forces behind that river. The French continued near the scene of carnage, until the 17th February, when, after having buried their dead, they began their retreat, and on the 21st February, their Headquarters were at Osterode, about 80 miles from Konigsburg, and about 50 from Thorn; at which last place it was expected the head quarters would be removed; and the staff recalled from Warsaw.
If the sole object of Bonaparte was to drive back the Russian advanced army, he has fully succeeded in that object. But if, as declared by his Minister of War, Berthier, to his Empress, his object was also to possess himself of the ancient capital of Prussia, that object has been as fully frustrated. For he will be found, after having advanced to within a few miles of Konigsburg—after having witnessed some of the most murderous battles ever fought, and though acquiring glory as a warrior, having lost an immense number of his heroic veterans—to have retraced his steps over more than 60 miles of territory, and to have occupied a part of his former quarters. He says he obtained a victory at Eylau; but it was such a victory as Lord Cornwallis gained at Guilford Court house in 1781—He remained on the field of battle, but in a few days was obliged to fly for security to the sea coast. The position held by the Russians, after the battle of Eylau was not farther from the Vistula than that they held before they advanced to attack Bernadotte.
There had been some hard fighting near the Bug, between the corps of the French army (late Lannes) left to protect Warsaw, and a strong Russian corps under Gen. Essen:—In which the French say they were successful; and we have seen nothing which contradicted it. It was evident, however, that the Russians sought the French where they were to be found, and exhibited a degree of courage, constancy and discipline, which could only be exceeded in their enemy.
At the last dates there were verbal rumours, that battles had been fought in Prussia posterior to that of Eylau; that the Russians had been successful over the rear of the retreating French army; that some of the prisoners had arrived at Konigsburg; and that there had been rejoicing at Dantzic (from which the accounts, to the 3d March, came) on the events.—It was also added, that on the 15th March there was a general rejoicing salute fired on the French coast; but on what account had not been learnt. One of the conjectures was, that the Emperor Napoleon had returned to Paris.
The British government has declared the Elbe, Weser, and Ems, in a state of strict blockade.

RELIGION.
'Tis this, my friend, that makes our morning bright, 'Tis this that gilds the horror of our night, When wealth forsakes us, and when friends are few, When friends are faithless, or when foes pursue; 'Tis this that wards the blow, or stills Disarms affliction or repels its dart; Within the breast bids purest raptures rise, Bids smiling conscience spread her cloudless skies.
ON DETRACTION.
There are many men possessed of a notion, false and absurd as it is, that the destruction of other people's reputation is the building of their own; that whatever good qualities they have, or would be thought to have, will be rendered more conspicuous, by throwing a shade over those of others! But this is so far from answering the purpose aimed at, that it often gives to the hearer a suspicion, that the person who is so fond of expatiating on the faults and follies of his neighbour, does it only with a view of drawing off any attention to his own.
This mean and ungenerous spirit, these ill-natured humours, this more than fiendlike disposition, is so extremely base and absurd, that if strong instances were not seen daily through life, it would be almost impossible for a man of sense to believe them. For my part, I would not be thought outrageously virtuous: I have foibles, and many: but if I am totally free from any of the common weaknesses of mankind, I take it to be this:—I trouble myself about no man's business that does not concern me: nor do I ever lessen the reputation of any person, without reason; and when I do, it is in the face of day, openly, and without disguise: For I think no man, or set of men, ought to ascend the judgment seat of Fame, or dare to use the whip of Censure, without being armed with the social virtues, justice and humanity, which the generality of rigid censors are destitute of. And were the parties defamed to reverse the mirror, the sons of Calumny would be ashamed of their blackness, and shudder at their own deformity.—Many learned and eminent authors have taught us, that the seat of that ever detectable vice, calumny, is solely lodged in the breasts of people of mean and servile dispositions: while, on the other hand, the foundation of those virtues, justice and humanity, so very necessary to render society perfect, are only found with generous and disinterested minds, the truth of which is very plainly evinced in every action of human life.
ON HUMILITY.
He that would build to last, should lay his foundation low; even the conversation of man is tottering, if it be not founded on humility. The proud man, like the early shoots of a new felled coppice, thrusts out full of sap, green in leaves and fresh in color; but bruises and breaks with every wind, and being top heavy, is wholly unfit for use; whereas the humble man retains it in the root—can abide the winter's chilling blasts, the rustling concussion of the wind, and can endure far more than that which appears so flourishing. Like the pyramid he hath a large foundation, whereby his height may be more eminent; and still the higher he is, the lesser doth he draw at the top, as if the nearer heaven the smaller he must appear; and indeed the nigher man approacheth to celestial, the more he doth consider God and sees the more to make himself vile in his own esteem.
Humility ever dwells with noble minds; it is a flower that prospers not in lean and barren soils, but in a ground that is rich it flourishes and is beautiful.
Moses was a divine lawyer, a statesman, historian and philosopher; as a valliant general he led Israel out of Egypt; he was endowed with the power of miracles; he was, as Ecclesiasticus tells us, beloved of God and men; yet was he meek above all that were upon the face of the earth. We are commanded by our Saviour to learn humility of Him, that we may find its benefit in rest to our souls.—We are sent to the ant for industry, to the lion for valor, to the dove for innocence, to the serpent for wisdom; but for humility unto God himself.
What is that man the worse who lets his inferior go before him? The folly is in him who takes what is not his due; but the prudence rests with him, who, in the terrenebent of his own worth, does not value it. The Sun chides not the Morning Star, though it presume to usher in the day before him.
Humility prevents disturbance, it rocks debate asleep, and keeps men in continued peace. I had rather be accounted too humble than a little proud; even in gold, the least is the best; but the purest is the most durable.
