MR. ADAMS'
CORRESPONDENCE CONTINUED.
To the Printers of the Boston Patriot, SIRS,
I mentioned in a former letter that Congress had separated from me my friend, Mr. Dana, and sent him as a public minister to the court of Russia, from whence he communicated to me the following correspondence.
A Letter from the French Minister at St. Petersburg, to Mr. Dana, August 22, 1781, O. S. St. Petersburg, Aug. 22, O. S. } 1781. Sept. 2, N. S. }
SIR, I have received the letter which you did me the honor to write me yesterday and I cannot too forcibly express to you how sensible I am to the mark of confidence which you are so good as to give me, by communicating to me the views which the Congress of the United States of America entertained, when it determined to send you to the Court of Russia, as its Minister Plenipotentiary to the Empress. You know, Sir, all the interest which the King takes in the cause of the United States, and you ought not to doubt that I am very zealous to render you, here, all the services which depend upon me, and which the circumstances of the place and the persons leave at my disposition. In the present moment I cannot better answer to your confidence, than by explaining to you the general dispositions of her Imperial Majesty, with relation to all the powers who are actually at war. From the moment when the first hostilities took place, this sovereign has made it a point of honor to hold the balance perfectly equal between the different parties; she has determined, scrupulously, to manifest no kind of preference, by avoiding, with care, every step which might indicate the smallest partiality in favour of one of the belligerent powers to the prejudice of the other. It is this conduct, equitable and perfectly impartial, which has determined the Court of the House of Bourbon as well as of London, and the States general, to accept the offers of this Princess, when she proposed to terminate their differences by her mediation, conjointly with that of the Emperor. And you are surely not ignorant, Sir, that her first plan of pacification has been sent to all the Courts which are interested in it. I shall even confide to you, that the United States of America enter into it for something, and that the august mediators desire that your deputies be admitted to the Congress which is to regulate the pretensions of the belligerent powers, that they may there debate themselves and discuss their interests. Behold, Sir, in a few words, the situation of things at the Court of Russia, and you comprehend that her Imperial Majesty not willing to disoblige the Court of London any more than those of Versailles and Madrid, has abstained, with the greatest care, from discovering any particular inclination for the American cause.
In these circumstances Sir, it is very doubtful, whether the Ministry of her Imperial Majesty, will consent to recognize the minister of a power which has not as yet, in her eyes, a political existence, and expose herself to the complaints which the Court of London would not fail to make against a mark of favour so public. I ought, therefore to pray you to reflect very seriously before you think of displaying the character with which you are invested, least you engage yourself in a measure which may become much more hurtful than advantageous to the success of your views. Here, Sir, it is not as a minister of the king that I have the honor to speak to you, but as a man to whom a residence of one entire year has given local knowledge, which you cannot have acquired. If, however, you should get over this difficulty and commence a negotiation with the Russian Ministry, and if they do me the honor to give me notice of it, you ought not to doubt that I shall labour very cheerfully to second you in every thing which shall concern the common interests. Be persuaded, moreover, that on all occasions in which I shall think it my duty to remain inactive, it will be because I shall be very sure that any steps on my part
would be hurtful to one, without any advantage to the other.
I can add nothing to the sincerity of those wishes which I form for the success of your mission, nor to those distinguished sentiments with which I have the honor to be Sir, your most humble and most obedient servant,
The Marquis of Verac.
I ought to inform you that the Count Panin and the Count D'Osterman, understand not the English, which will render your communications with those ministers very difficult.
Letter from the French Minister at St. Petersburg to Mr. Dana, September 12, 1781. N. S.
St. Petersburg Sept. 12, 1781.
SIR, In the letter which I had the honor to write you, on the second of this month, I made but a transient mention of the article of the plan of pacification proposed by the Courts of Vienna and of Petersburg, which relates to the admission of Deputies of the United States to the Congress. Persuaded that it is the intention to admit the American Ministers, in such a manner that their public characters shall be, at the first moment of their arrival, acknowledged, not only by the belligerent powers, but also by the mediating powers, your reasoning is perfectly just, when you say that they cannot admit and acknowledge the minister of a power, without acknowledging at the same time, the independence and political existence of that power. And you conclude from this, that it is very possible that the Court of Petersburg is in the disposition to acknowledge, voluntarily, the character with which you are invested. This reasoning Sir, discovers equally the accuracy of your understanding, and your knowledge in matters of public law. And it is I, only, who was in the wrong in not entering in greater detail, concerning the article which you have stated as a principle, upon which, indeed, I did not think it necessary to dwell, because I supposed you had a perfect knowledge of it. I cannot better supply my first omission than by transcribing, here, that article, as it has been sent to the Courts of Versailles, Madrid and London. "There shall be treaties at Vienna by the united cares of the two Imperial Courts, concerning all the objects of the re-establishment of peace, &c. And there shall be a treaty, at the same time, between Great Britain and the American Colonies, concerning the re-establishment of peace in America, but without the intervention of any other of the belligerent parties, and even without that of the two Imperial Courts, at least, unless their mediation shall have been formally demanded and granted upon this object."
The mediating courts understand by this, that your Deputies shall treat simply with the English Minister, as they have already treated in America with the commissioners of Great Britain, in 1778. That the conclusion of their negotiations shall teach other powers upon what footing they are to be regarded, and that their public character shall be acknowledged without difficulty, from the moment when the English themselves shall no longer oppose it.—This disposition (Tournure) has been imagined to reconcile very opposite pretensions.—Have the goodness, Sir, to remark, that I do not say that I approve of this disposition; I confine myself to say, that the august mediators have taken it, in giving you an account of the reasons which have determined them. It is then clear that their design is to avoid committing themselves, by acknowledging the independence of the United States, until England herself shall have pronounced such an acknowledgment.
You perceive, Sir, that nothing could be more conformable to my wishes, than to see the Court of Russia acknowledge the independence of the United States. You are well convinced, that if it depended on me to extort from it such an acknowledgment, you would soon have reason to be satisfied perfectly with my cares. In one word, you cannot doubt of all the interest which is taken in your cause by the Minister of his Most Christian Majesty in Russia. But the more I desire your success, the more I think myself obliged to apprize you of the difficulties you have to surmount. And I should believe that I betrayed my duties if I should voluntarily leave you in ignorance upon so
important a point. Clothed, as you are, with a public character, on that part of a power whose rights and perfect independence I make it a duty to acknowledge, it does not belong to me to direct your procedures; but the alliance of that power with the King, my Master, invites me to communicate to you of all the knowledge which I have acquired of this country, which can interest you.—It is with the greatest pleasure, Sir, that I fulfil this duty, repeating, at the same time, what I had the honor to say to you in my first letter, that if you should be able to surmount the difficulties which you will find in obtaining an acknowledgment of your public character at this Court, you will find me entirely disposed to second you in every thing which will regard the common interest of our countries, when it shall be probable that my intervention will be agreeable to the Ministry of her Imperial Majesty.
You are too enlightened, Sir, that my counsels, and still less my approbation, should be necessary to you. I shall confine myself, therefore, to inform you of facts which shall come to my knowledge, and which may be interesting to you, leaving to your information and discernment the care to combine them, in order to draw from them, the plan of conduct which you shall judge to be most convenient, persuaded, that that which you shall adopt will be the best, and the most conformable to your interests. I believe, therefore, that I ought to inform you, in confidence, at this time, that we expect, in a short time the answer of France, and that of Spain, to the plan of pacification. We shall then know how they mean to consider the article which concerns your Deputies at the Congress, and we shall see how, those observations will be received at Petersburg. It is for you, Sir, to judge whether, in these circumstances, you ought to display, in this country, your political character.
I have the honour to be, with the most distinguished sentiments, Sir, your, most humble and most obedient servant,
The Marquis of Verac.
P. S. This answer has been delayed for too long a time, and I ask your pardon for it. This delay has been wholly owing to an embarrassment in the translation of your letter, the Marquis de la Coste, my son in law being the only one in my house who reads a little English.
These letters of Marquis of Verac to Mr. Dana, are so perfectly concordant, paragraph by paragraph, and almost word for word, with the conversations of the Duke de la Vauguon with me, at the Hague, many months before, that I have no doubt both were dictated at Versailles by the Count De Vergennes and his confidential secretary, Mr. De Rayneval. It is to be regretted that those conversations were not reduced to writing at the time. But the Duke endeavoured to avail a written correspondence on the subject, and I had very powerful reasons for not forcing him to it. I will not venture to say that the advice to both was not wise. I leave it to the judgment of more learned and experienced statesmen. I did not see or feel the force of it, at the time, and ventured to proceed in opposition to it; and my temerity was rewarded with success, even beyond my own expectations.
In my next you will have the answer of the Court of France to the articles of the Imperial Courts.

From Gen. BLAKE, to his Excellency Don ANTONIO CARNEL.
I FORWARDED to your Excellency under date of the 18th June, from Calanda, a representation to his Majesty of the unfortunate result of the action of Belchite, acquainting him at the same time, that in consequence of a depression of mind I was unable to give the details of that distressing event. Though I have not recovered from the dejection of the defeat which neither the nation, myself, nor the faithful officers of my army ought to have anticipated, I consider it my duty no longer to be dispensed with to inform your Excellency, and through you his Majesty, not of the minute details of a battle which was never fought, but rather of those circumstances which must excite amazement at what has so unnecessarily happened.
In my despatch to your Excellency of the day preceding this sad event, I described
our situation, which was such, that I confidently trusted, that if the enemy attacked us in front we should repulse him. Nevertheless, I knew that fortune might be adverse to us; but never could I suspect or apprehend, that my troops would fly without fighting; that a few shot from the enemy's artillery would make them abandon a position in which they had nothing to dread either from cavalry, or from those sudden turns in battle which have sometimes struck panic-terror into armies.
Belchite is placed on the declivity of mountains which almost surround it, taking its beginning from the road of Zeyla. But to enter the town there is a descent which begins at a point called Calerio. Said heights continue along the road which goes to Fuendetodos, and passes beneath a hill in advance, where the hermitage of Piecyo is situated. The front and avenues of Zaragoza are on a smooth country, covered with orchards and olive gardens, without any interruption but that of a few ridges, which conduct to the road of Alboton, about a league distant from Belchite. The heights which pass the above mentioned road of Fuendetodos, begin from Belchite at the hermitage of Santa Barbara in whose vicinity are many straw lofts, and two great buildings for cattle—These buildings and hermitage were the right flank of our position, in consequence of which they were made loop-holed. In the front and left were the chain of ridges, with some spaces, and finally at the back ran a canal, which terminates at the orchard between the heights of Calerio and Pueblo. The troops which were detached in the hermitage and straw lofts, could not be attacked by cavalry—neither could the centre, without being exposed to a terrible cross fire; the left could always retire to the hermitage of Santa Barbara. Consequently the hermitage of Piecyo was occupied, and the tops of Calerio, by two regiments, and the artillery park, was placed behind. The olive-gardens were likewise garrisoned. The cavalry were in the avenues of the town and road of Zaragoza to cover them, and they were supported by another regiment of infantry. The remainder of the troops occupied the heights from Santa Barbara towards the road of Fuendetodos, but connected with the ground of the position, so that in some parts three lines were formed, moreover three columns for the attack were ready, that if in case the enemy pushed hard on the left we might face them, and act offensively. Even if they had routed them, we could have retired to the centre and right flank, having then nothing to fear but from the front; and to render the continuation of the attack impossible, finally the artillery was so placed as to protect the attack of said columns, and could in case of necessity retire to the same point where the troops were to act. These were already posted and arranged by me. They promised faithfully to comply with their duty. The enemy after having showed themselves from the tops of the town of Alboton filed off upon our left, a column advancing with two pieces of artillery. Their artillery fired five or six shot, at the same time two or three grenades burst which wounded 5 or 6 men. Our artillery began to attack theirs or rather to answer their fire, when all of a sudden, a regiment began to fly in the greatest disorder without firing a gun.
A grenade from the enemy is said to have fallen among them. Another without firing did the same, and another, and finally in a few minutes the position was abandoned; some corps flying, not being enabled to sustain the impetuosity with which they rushed upon each other and prevented their firing.
Thus we the generals and officers remained alone in the middle of the field without being enabled to rally a single corps, and I had the grief to see an army disperse, abandoning their effects, throwing away their arms and dress, from but a single body of the enemy, and two pieces of artillery. We could not halt until we arrived at some strong place, not being enabled to muster more than 200 men to face the enemy. It is well known, that they were not in want of ammunition and provisions, and that on my side I had omitted nothing to ensure them victory; at least to enable them to maintain the honor of our arms in the opinion of the world. If his Majesty accedes to what is requested of him, in my representation of the 18th, I hope to prove more fully what I affirm. These dispersions are unfortunately too common in our armies. I do not think this a proper place to point out the cause; but I cannot help saying that a few individuals, who set a bad example, can do much to discourage an army, without the General knowing it, to whose care the conversion of weak men is rarely communicated. If the love of my country did not exceed even that which my conscience dictates, I should be tranquil, when I consider that the same army confesses that I have neglected nothing as a General or a Soldier to carry them to the field of glory. The falsehood they spread to cover their unheard of cowardice, that the French had received reinforcements to the amount of 15,000 men, proves that they flew without being able to attribute the blame to any one. God preserve your Lordship many years. Xata, 22nd June, 1809. JOAQUIN BLAKE.
Letters received in London from Gottenburgh, mention the probability of the annexation of Norway to the Swedish territory. Prince Augustenburg, of the house of Holstein, who is declared successor to the new Swedish Monarch, is understood to have accepted the nomination on the express condition that that country, of which he has been Governor, shall form a part of the dominions to which he is destined to succeed. This arrangement has dissolved as much joy among the Swedes, as it has excited dissatisfaction in the Danish Government.
SOUTH CAROLINA PATRIOTISM.
[The following Resolves, our correspondent observes were carried unanimously, at a numerous meeting where there were present nearly as many federalists as republicans.]
At a meeting of the citizens of Charleston, held in St. Michael's Church, the 5th Sept. agreeable to adjournment—DR. RAMSAY in the Chair, JOHN S. COODELL, Secretary.
The Committee appointed at the Meeting, of the 29th ult. reported fundry Resolutions: which being read by the Chairman, were unanimously agreed to, and are as follows:
WHEREAS it appears by the Proclamation of the President of the United States of the 9th ult. that the arrangement lately concluded by him and the Minister of his Britannic Majesty, has been disavowed by the Government of the latter, though the United States had performed with the utmost promptitude and good faith the stipulations incumbent on them; in consequence of which, the sincere and honorable endeavors of our Government to meet that nation on a footing of amity and pacification have failed, and all the evils resulting from their Orders in council are again visited upon our peaceful and rightful commerce, under circumstances peculiarly injurious and insulting, while the other numerous violations of our neutral rights and national honor, of which we have so long and so justly complained, remain altogether unredressed: And, whereas, the arrangement, so hapily concluded, contained in the opinion of this meeting, no more than this Government was in honor bound to demand, and no more than the Government of Great Britain was in justice obliged to grant, and has been rejected by the latter, under pretences as affrontive as they are unjust. It becomes our duty, as a Free People, (among whom public sentiment constitutes national strength) at so important a crisis, to animate and confirm the resolves of our rulers and representatives, by an expression of our confidence, and to proclaim to the world, that, breathing this confidence, and united to a man, in the love of our inestimable Government, and our excellent Constitution, it is our determination to support, by every sacrifice and at every hazard, the honor of our country, and the just rights of a great and independent People—Therefore,
Resolved, That we, the Citizens of Charleston and its vicinity, of every political denomination, in this meeting assembled, feel the highest indignation and resentment at the manner in which the United States have been treated in the late Negotiation; nor will those feelings be allayed by the belief, that the conduct of the British Ministry in the transaction was not characterized by the guilt of perjury, for the pretences on which they have acted, would not therefore cease to be as unjust, as they are incompatible with the pride and honor of an independent nation.
Resolved, That we have the highest confidence in the virtue, ability and prudence of the President of the United States—that we highly approve of the prompt and dignified manner in which he has renewed the operation of the Non-Intercourse Laws, and solemnly pledge to him, to Congress, and to our Country, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor, to support the Government in all the measures which the crisis shall demand, though they should subject us to the privations, and involve us in the calamities of a just and necessary war.
Resolved, That the present alarming situation of our public affairs demand a union of all our Citizens—that we will on this point, and at this time, silence the controversies of party, forget the interests and prejudices of local situation, and with a generous emulation strive with each other, who shall best serve the great cause of our beloved country.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing Resolutions be signed by the Chairman of this meeting, and transmitted by him to the President of the United States.
It was then moved, and seconded, that the thanks of this Meeting be tendered the Chairman and Secretary, for their attention.
The meeting then adjourned.
The ship Liverpool Packet, Kennard of Portsmouth (N. H.) arrived at Gravesend about 9th August from Norfolk.

TRANSLATED FROM SPANISH PAPERS, RECEIVED AT NEW YORK.
From the OFFICIAL GAZETTE , August 15, 1809.
Of Gen. VENEGAS' Army.
The Extraordinary Gazette of the 8th inst. contains an account of the glorious defence which our troops made on the 5th, on the banks of the Tagus, at Aranjuez against the repeated attacks of the enemy.—The government has now the satisfaction of publishing the circumstances of that brilliant action, in which the discipline, valor and enthusiasm of the defenders of their country were so much distinguished. The whole nation will pay them the merited tribute of praise and gratitude, on reading the following OFFICIAL LETTER.
From Gen. Don Francisco Venegas, to the Minister of War.
MOST EXCELLENT SIR, At half after five in the afternoon of the 4th, I received a letter from the Capt. Gen. Don Gregorio de la Cuesta, in which he communicated to me his determination to march on the right of the 3d, and follow the English army which had marched at day break, in order to form a junction with it, and face that of Soult which was advancing towards Plasencia. I immediately fore saw that my army would be attacked, as soon as Joseph Napoleon and Victor who were in Illecas and Maqueda, the former with 16,000 men, and the latter with 10,000, should be informed of that movement. This expectation made me go to Aranjuez at day break on the 5th, accompanied by the principal officers of the artillery and engineers, with several officers belonging to my staff, for the purpose of examining the position of those divisions, and pointing out the places which they ought to occupy in order to improve the advantages of the ground.
The Brigadier Lacy whose division formed the Van at the bridge Largo, had two leagues to march in order to repass the Tagus at the bridge de la Reyna, the only one fit to cross, and it being easy for the enemy to cut off that division, I immediately directed, that, leaving there a body of cavalry, he should fall back and post himself in the twelve streets. I then determined that in case of attack he should occupy the ridge of hills contiguous to Ontigola, which begins at mount Parnassus, and that the passage of the river should be defended to the last extremity. These measures being taken, the only ones then required by the circumstances, I returned to my head quarters. But scarcely had three hours elapsed, when I received intelligence from Brigadier Don Pedro Agustín Giron, who by seniority commanded the three divisions, that they had just seen columns of the enemy's infantry, cavalry and artillery, upon the bridge Largo, some having already crossed it; and I successively received accounts of the increase of their numbers, and that near the ford of Anover a great cloud of dust was seen; from all which circumstances I entertained no doubt but that the enemy intended a serious attack, and supposed that he had been joined in our rear by troops from Toledo, or the ford of Anover. To guard against all those dangers, I directed Giron to cause Lacy immediately to repass the Tagus, and destroy the bridge de la Reyna, to occupy the above mentioned position in the hills of Ontigola, and that after defending vigorously the passage of the river and the other positions, should misfortune oblige him to retreat, it should be towards Oceana, to which place I caused the fourth division to march and post itself in the heights which are on the left of the road to Aranjuez, with the triple object of assisting that place, if necessary, favoring the retreat of those troops in case of misfortune, and resisting the expected attack from Toledo or Anover, sending part of his cavalry towards that ford, to observe the troops which were reported to be there, and oppose their passage. These arrangements having been made, the attack took place, of which the following is the account given by the Brigadier Don Pedro Agustín Giron:—
" MOST EXCELLENT SIR, "On the morning of the 5th, being at Aranjuez, and having the command, owing to my seniority, of the first, second and third divisions of this army, the first division posted at the bridge Largo over the river Xarama, in pursuance of your Excellency's positive orders, began to retire from that point, and at the same instant a strong corps of the enemy's cavalry appeared on the hill de la Reyna, which charged the advance guard of the division at that place; but as well that part as the remainder of the division continued its march with its accustomed gallantry and coolness.
"The enemy advanced, and the division repassed the Tagus at the bridge de la Reyna, and seeing a great number of the enemy's troops descending the hills of the same name, and no longer doubting but that his intention was to attack us, I ordered the bridge to be broken down, and took such measures as I thought most suitable for the defence of our important post. The brigadier Don Luis Lacy with the first division under his command was eligibly posted on some heights, which protected the defence of the bridge de la Reyna; the troops of the second and third division were distributed at the other points.
[In the original is a long description of the manner in which the different corps were posted, which we omit as it would be unintelligible without a very minute local knowledge of the field of battle.]
"These arrangements being made, the enemy appeared at half past two in the afternoon on the right bank of the river and began to engage with a division of the third company of sappers which hastened to meet them in the garden of the Infant Don Antonio, and a moment afterwards with the whole regiment of Velez Malaga. In a short time the artillery commenced firing and the action became more general; the principal attack of the enemy being on the left, I ordered the first battalion of Royal Spanish guards to go and assist the regiment of Velez Malaga, which after the example of its brave Colonel was fighting with the greatest obstinacy. The battalion of guards commanded by the captain of grenadiers, Ferrer, and led by the Major-General of the division under my command, the Lieut. Colonel Don Jose Martinez de San Martin, marched to its post, exposed (rather than make a short circuit) to a shower of grape shot, which though it wounded the Lieut. Colonel Don Fernando Salamanca and several soldiers, did not in the smallest degree alter the tranquil and intrepid march of his corps, at all times undaunted.
"The enemy's fire became more and more brisk, and ours was in no respect inferior; the excellent regiment of Ecija, stationed on the bridge Verde, fired with an ardor and celerity, which merited the praise and admiration of all brave men. The artillery with that superiority which they have already acquired over that of the enemy engaged with it, almost within pistol shot; the regiment of Alpujarras and three companies of Sappers sustained with the greatest tranquility the heavy fire of the enemy's cannon, and with that of their muskets punished the temerity of those who advanced.—The regiments which defended the bridges de la Reyna bravely sustained the attack.
"Such determined resistance in all quarters made the enemy give way, but a moment afterwards they again renewed the charge with more vigor upon the left and all the other points; but they met with equal valor in the defence.
"A seven inch howitzer commanded by Lieut. Don Juan Sequeda, was sent to the bridge Verde, and circumstances rendered it necessary for him and his men to pass between two fires in order to arrive as soon as possible at the place of his destination, which he did without hesitation with an intrepidity which does as much honor to that officer, as to the highly respectable corps in which he serves. The battery of the bridge of Barcas was reinforced by an eight pounder from the second division, and its brave commander Capt. Don Miguel Antonio Panet having been mortally wounded, the command, was taken by Lt. Col. Don Gaspar Hermosa, who had accompanied Sequeda in the dangerous transportation of the howitzer to the battery of Barcas, with unequalled bravery and skill; nor must it be forgotten that in the interval of half an hour between the wounding of Panet and the arrival of Hermosa, the battery was commanded by corporal Vicente Navaro, who kept up the fire without abatement, twice silencing the enemy's artillery in presence of the commandant of the division, Lieut. Colonel Don Almando Carbia, and particularly distinguishing himself. Another seven inch howitzer placed in the grove which looks towards the islet opposite to the road to the bridge Verde, did much damage to the enemy.
"The Brigadier Don Luis Lacy, Commandant of the first division, as soon as he observed the terrible attack of the enemy, upon our left, being well assured that the post he occupied was safe, of his own accord took the honorable resolution of flying to our assistance with the division under his command.
"Seven companies of the regiment of Alpujarras were sent to the bridge Verde, the companies of grenadiers and chasseurs remaining at important points in the gardens of the Prince.
"The regiment of Ronda commanded by its Colonel Don Joaquín Viñues had been sent to the garden of the Infant Don Antonio, where it distinguished itself; the fire was most intense, the artillery and infantry fought with obstinacy, the cavalry commanded by that old and distinguished officer Don Diego Ballesteros suffering with the greatest coolness the fire to which it is exposed, plainly shewed, that it was ready to make the last effort, should circumstances require it; the greatest order and tranquility of true courage reigned in all parts in the midst of the most dreadful fire, till at length the enemy convinced that they could not overcome such firmness, and tired of incessant and bloody combat, desisted from their enterprise and retired, when it grew dark from all points.
"It is impossible for me to depict to your excellency the enthusiasm and intrepidity of the troops, who in the midst of an intense fire, shouted the name of our beloved sovereign at the moment most suitable to a nation which is brave and ardently desirous of glory.
"The loss which we have sustained in this action is 200 killed and wounded; and that of the enemy, according to the information we have received, 300 killed, and about 1000 wounded.
God preserve your excellency many years. Head Quarters, of Tembleque, Aug. 8, 1809.
FRANCISCO VENEGAS, His Excellency Don ANTONIO CORNEL.
From a GIBRALTAR PAPER , lately date. Gen. VENEGAS TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. Q. Ceumana, Aug. 11.
MOST EXCELLENT SIR, This morning, at half past 5, the army under my command was attacked by the enemy in Almonacid, and at 7 a very brisk fire of artillery and musketry had extended throughout the whole of the line. The number of the assailants was very considerable, and we have no doubt but it exceeded 25,000 men. Our troops maintained a most honorable fight for nine hours together, during five of which the fire was tremendous indeed.—But the enemy having made themselves masters of a height which formed our left, obtained an advantage in point of position, and were on the point of turning our flank: This circumstance induced me to resolve on a retreat; after having formed the second division, which had suffered least, to cover it. The national honor has been maintained unimpaired: Blood has been shed; indeed; and we have left excellent officers; but I conceive that the enemy's loss amounts to 3000. I cannot at present send the particulars to your Excellency; but I will do so whenever I have time.
Marshal de Corvejal had set off post from Trembleque for La Carolina: where he will assume the command, and collect as many troops and sharpshooters as possible; until I reach the Sierra myself with the army. May God &c. (Signed) VENEGAS. To H. E. Don ANTONIO CORNEL.
SEVILLE, AUG. 17. The army of the centre [Venegas'] has fought with great valor—Its retreat has
been publicly pronounced with a total dispersion which we have before mentioned on other occasions. On the 12th inst. H. Q. were at Argamilla. Venegas intended to send part of his troops to the Sierra and to advance with the remainder, which is a proof that the French are not pursuing him.
LONDON. Downing Street, August 19.
A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was this day received at the office of Viscount Castlereagh, one of his majesty's principal Secretaries of State, from Lieut. Gen. the Earl of Chatham, K. G. dated
Head Quarters, Middleburgh, August 16.
My Lord—I have the honor of acquainting your Lordship that, on the 13th instant, the batteries before Flushing being completed (and the frigates, bombs and gun vessels having at the same time taken their stations) a fire was opened at about half past one, P

ship every further information, and whom I beg leave earnestly to recommend to His Majesty's protection.
I have the honor to be, &c
CHATHAM.
[Here follows the articles of capitulation, &c.] August 25.—The dispatches from the Earl of Chatham by the Phoenix, the arrival of which we announced yesterday, are dated the 20th, and state that the whole of the British force had landed in S. Beveland, except a corps left in garrison in Flushing, under the command of Lt. Gen. Frazier. The most active preparations were making for the attack on Fort Lillo.
Several private letters also received thro' the same channel from Middleburgh dated the 21st, state that the Earl of Chatham had that day proceeded to Beveland. The amount of the force left in the island of Walcheren, is 5000 men. The whole of the British fleet had assembled off Paphos and the enemy's ships, as we stated some days since, had gone up the river above Antwerp.
A Monitor of a late date is said to have been received, which states, that the conscriptions for the years 1811 and 1812, had been ordered to be immediately enforced. If this be true, little doubt can remain of the continuance of the war on the continent.
AUG. 30.
The French contributions exacted of the Austrian States, exceed 196 millions of florins!! No wonder the Grand Bandit designates himself Osar .—He is a "Sixer" indeed.
Five 74 gun ships armed en flûte, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, with about 3000 prisoners, of the garrison of Flushing.
It was currently reported this evening, that orders had been given by government, to abandon the ulterior objects of the Expedition; and that the greater part of the troops were to return home; information being received that the French ships have been lightened and carried into shallow waters; and their guns placed in land batteries;—and that the river was covered with chains, booms, sunk hulks, and boats chained to each other. Strong redoubts are building all along the banks of the river; and the country is lined with troops.
VIENNA, AUG. 5, 1809.
It was said, in the first instance, that Raab was fixed upon as the place of Negotiations of Peace; but it is now said, they will be at Altenburg, in Hungary. The Congress is not expected to last long. A considerable quantity of baggage had been sent to Raab. It is said, the Prince of Lichtenstein and Secretary Hoppe, on the part of Austria, and the Duke of Friuli (Duroc) and count Champagny, on the part of France, will be the Negotiators of peace.
Several silversmiths are said to have received orders to prepare services of plate, to be used at the Congress at Raab.
The Emperor continues to construct strong fortifications on the left bank of the Danube; and the troops are kept in readiness to act on the first signal. A French camp of 20,000 men is forming near the Spitz.
Napoleon, after visiting the mountainous districts, returned at 10 o'clock at night, and attended at the play of Phèdre .
The Saxon Gen. Mertz is dead of his wound.
PARIS, August 9. —We have letters from Santa Olla of the 29th ult. at 8 P.M. which mention the new victory gained over the British, Portuguese and Insurgents. The loss of the British is enormous. We took 800 prisoners, and a whole regiment was taken by one of our's, which opened its ranks to receive its charge, and then cut off their retreat. The rest of the British column, which constituted the whole force of the enemy, is in full retreat.
THIRTIETH FRENCH BULLETIN.
Vienna, July 30.
The 9th army which has been commanded by the Prince of Ponte Corvo, was defeated on the 8th inst. The Saxons who formed a part of it are under the orders of Gen. Reynen. The Price of Ponte Corvo has gone to use the waters. In the battle of Wagram the village of that name was carried 9th and the glory of that successful enterprise is due to the corps of Marshal Oudinot.
The House of Austria took the field this campaign with 36 regiments of the line, 12 regiments of cavalry, 12 regiments of grenadiers, four free corps or legions, amounting in the whole 340,000 men; 150 battalions militia (landwehr) commanded by ancient officers exercised ten months; 40,000 men of the Hungarian insurrection, and 60,000 horse artillery and miners, composing in the whole from 350 to 600,000 men. With this force the house of Austria supposed herself to be sure of Victory. She entertained a hope of shaking the power of France, if ever her whole force were united. But her armies are not withstanding reduced to one fourth part of her original strength, while the French army has been increased to double the number it consisted of at R. tibon.
In the castle of Grat, twenty pieces of ordnance have been found.
The Castle of Sachsenberg, situated on the frontiers of the Tyrol, has surrendered to Gen. Rusco.
The Duke of Danzig has entered Tyrol with 25,000 men. He has occupied Lifiers and disarmed all the inhabitants; he must by this time, be at Innsbruck.
Gen. Thiebaut has entered Dresden.
The Duke of Abentes is in Bayreuth, and has pushed his advanced guard to the frontiers of Bohemia.
VERMONT COPPERAS.
We observe by Vermont papers that a Copperas Factory, has lately been established in the town of Strafford, Orange county, Vermont, the proprietors of which state that they have manufactured Copperas of a quality superior to any ever imported, and dispose of it on better terms than can be procured in our seaports. We every day continue to receive proofs that our country contains resources that may render us independent of the old world, and that it needs but the fostering care of government to bring our manufactures to perfection. To every true friend to our country's prosperity and independence it is consolatory to reflect that should the mad powers of Europe continue their usurpations and aggressions, the inconvenience of being separated from them forever is every day diminishing, and will feel a new motive of attachment to our government from the mere loss pursuing to ascertain our native resources, and giving such aid to domestic enterprise as that we may claim competition with the greatest manufacturing nation of the world. Gaz.
PORTSMOUTH.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1809.
Latest from Europe.
Captain Elwell, arrived at Boston from Cadiz, which he left Sept 8th, reports that the British army in Spain was retreating toward Portugal for the purpose of embarking on board the transports said to have arrived on that coast—The real cause of the retreat was said to be an entire want of provisions—The Central Junta had not dissolved—but a change in the Spanish Government was expected—Gen Cuesta had left the Spanish army—Capt Elwell did not hear of any late battle in Spain.
The British Expedition to Holland is said to have been recalled—The opposition in England clamor loudly against the Ministry—Peace between France and Austria was expected—Thus, it appears, after a scene of bloodshed and devastation unexampled in the history of the world, Europe is verging upon the calm of despotism—The hopes of England are blasted forever, and the power of Napoleon is confirmed.
INSURRECTION.
An alarm has been excited at Augusta, (Me.) by bodies of armed men disguised as Indians, being seen lurking in the adjacent woods, threatening to liberate the prisoners confined in the goal there, for the murder of Mr. PAUL CHADWICK. For several nights the citizens volunteered their services to guard the goal, but so serious are the apprehensions of an attack from this daring banditti, that the Sheriff of the county, deemed it necessary to demand a detachment of militia to defeat the threatened attempt, and a detachment of 300 men has been ordered by Maj. Gen. SEWALL, to march to Augusta, armed and equipped for actual service, to aid the Sheriff in guarding the prisoners.
The S. J. C. is now in session in that town—The supposed murderers of Chadwick were arraigned before the Court on Wednesday last, and the bill of indictment read to them, after which they were remanded to prison their answer is not mentioned in the paper from which this account is collected.
Several inflated and ridiculous letters on the above, unfortunate subject have been written to Boston and elsewhere—the heroes of which boast the hard tours of duty they have performed, and have marvellously eluded unhurt—It does not appear that any attack has been made by the insurgents—By the Kennebec Gazette of Friday last, it appears that new requisitions of militia are made to relieve those who were first called out.
Mechanic Association.
On Thursday, 5th inst the Associated Mechanics and Manufacturers of the State of New-Hampshire, celebrated their Anniversary in this town.

The female Choristers of the day—May the charms of their voices, and the ornaments of their minds, ever command love and admiration. The Music of the day—Excellent in all its parts.
COMMUNICATION.
SINCE the decease of the Recorder of Deeds for the county of Rockingham, the Court of Common Pleas have judicially authorized Col. SETH WALKER, to attend this office, whose abilities and integrity are fully competent to the trust reposed in him. Mr. WALKER, in March next will probably be established as Register of Deeds by a large majority of the free suffrages of the county. Many arguments may be advanced why the Registry for the county of Rockingham ought to be kept in the Metropolis, perhaps in some future paper it may be necessary to take those reasons into consideration. It is not only necessary that a fit person be appointed as recorder of Deeds, but it is an incumbent duty for the authority to place the Records in the best possible state of security from fire & other injury. For this purpose a fire proof building ought to be erected for Rockingham & for every county in the State of N. Hampshire, where each Register may safely deposit all his public papers. The expense of those buildings would be inconsiderable, and of small consequence in comparison with the advantages to be derived from them. The loss of the public records by fire, would be truly distressing, irremediable, and almost incalculable—it would destroy much of the harmony and good understanding that now exists between neighbors and friends, and probably benefit none but Lawyers, and dishonest citizens that would embrace the opportunity of benefiting themselves to the injury of others; therefore every man of common sense, who has the welfare of the public in view, will cheerfully contribute his mite to prevent the destruction of the county records, and the innumerable disputes and law suits that would ensue to the inhabitants in consequence thereof. The shameful neglect that has hitherto prevented the erection of those safe repositories ought not to encourage a further delay, but rather to stimulate those whom it may concern, to a speedy performance of duty.
