LATE INTERESTING FOREIGN ARTICLES.
Accounts of the success of the French Armies—from a Paris paper of Oct. 26.
FIRST ARMY BULLETIN.
On the 12th [we believe Vendemaire, answering to Oct. 6, 1805] Gen. Vandamme's division of Marshal Soult's army, by a forced march, at 3 o'clock, P. M. reached Donawert, (on the Danube,) and took the bridge which was defended by the regiment of Colloredo—A few Austrians were killed and others taken.
Oct. 6.—Prince Murat arrived with his dragoons;—the bridge was repaired, and the Prince with Watier's division advanced towards the Lech, the bridge over which was attacked by 200 French dragoons, and the Austrians routed. Prince Murat lay at Rain.
Oct. 8.—Marshal Soult, with two divisions, and Gen. St. Hilaire, with his, advanced towards Augsburg.
Oct. 9.—At daybreak, Prince Murat, at the head of two divisions of dragoons, and one of cuirassiers and cuirassiers, marched to intercept the road between Ulm and Augsburg. At Wertingen he discovered a division of Austrian infantry, and four squadrons of cuirassiers—He directly surrounded this whole body.—Marshal Lannes, with Oudinot's division passed into the rear of the Austrians; an engagement of two hours commenced, when the whole division were taken, with their colours, cannon, baggage, &c. It consisted of twelve battalions of grenadiers (about 7200)—On the 6th and 7th Marshal Soult manoeuvred on the Danube, to intercept the supplies to Ulm.—Marshal Davoust and Gen. Marmont have arrived at Donawert. Gen. Barnadotte, and the Bavarians are at Aichstadt.
SECOND ARMY BULLETIN.
ZUSMERHAUSEN, OCT. 10, 1805.—Marshal Soult, pursuing the Austrian division, entered Augsburg yesterday, with three divisions, Vandamme's, St. Hilaire's, and Legrand's.—Yesterday Marshal Davoust, with three divisions passed the Danube, at Neuburg—as did Gen. Marmont, with three more divisions, and have taken a position between Aicha and Augsburg.—Gen. Bernadotte has taken a position at Ingolstadt, on the Danube. The imperial guard is at Augsburg.—Prince Murat, with his dragoons and cuirassiers is still between Ulm and Augsburg, Marshal Lannes, with two more divisions, is here.—The details of the battle of Wertingen have been published. The attack of the French was animated, and many examples of individual heroism were exhibited.—A column of Austrian grenadiers, formed into a square of four battalions; we broke through and entirely cut them to pieces. On the approach of Gen. Oudinot's grenadiers, the Austrians redoubled their retreat. Besides the killed in the Austrian division in the battle of Wertingen, the following were taken prisoners, viz. two Lt. Cols. six Majors, sixty other officers, and 4000 soldiers.—The rest retreated towards Augsburg. An aide-de-camp of Prince Murat had two horses shot under him.—He brought the first Austrian standard to the Emperor, who said to him, "I know none more brave than you, I present you the badge of the Legion of Honor."—Marshal Ney with five divisions, has ascended the Danube, and has attacked the enemy. It rains hard, but the operations of the Grand Army are not retarded. The Emperor is day and night on horseback, amidst his troops, and at every point where his presence is necessary. He travelled yesterday 35 miles.
THIRD ARMY BULLETIN.
H. Q. AUGSBURG, OCT. 11, 1805.—In 24 hours after the battle of Wertingen, the battle of Gunzburg was fought by Marshal Ney. The Austrians, with Prince Ferdinand at their head, in vain attempted to defend Gunzburg; they were routed on every side. The combat was obstinate, but the bridge was carried by great force; and the cannon which defended it. The Austrians returned to the attack three times, and then retreated, with precipitation. Prince Murat, with the reserve, pursued the retreating enemy during the night, and made great slaughter. The conscripts fight like veterans. The weather continues bad.—The Austrians lost more than 2500 men in the battle of Gunzburg.—We took 1200 prisoners, of whom is Maj. Gen. Aspre, and 6 pieces of cannon. Our loss is about 400 killed and wounded.—The Emperor arrived here two hours after the town was taken.—Prince Murat with a great force is in pursuit of the enemy. Some Russian troops are advanced towards the Inn—we shall give battle to them all. The Emperor (Napoleon) lodges in the Electoral palace, and has been received by the Elector with the greatest hospitality and magnificence.—The activity, understanding and complicated combinations of the French army, which are entirely unknown to the enemy, have disconcerted them in every point.
FOURTH ARMY BULLETIN.
AUGSBURG, OCT. 14, 1805.—Marshal Soult, has, at Landshut, cut off the grand communication of the enemy. On the 10th he engaged an Austrian regiment of cuirassiers, who with 6 cannon were proceeding for Ulm—The 26th regt. of cuirassiers attacked them with so much ardor, that the Austrians fled, leaving three officers and 150 privates, prisoners.—The residue retreated towards Tyrol.—Gen. Schallian, with a brigade of dragoons is gone in pursuit of 20 pieces of artillery and the Austrian pontoons, which passed Landshut the 10th.—Marshal Soult was at Memmingen yesterday.—Marshal Bernadotte has his advanced guard within two leagues of Munich.—He has taken considerable baggage, and 100 prisoners. Marshal Davoust is at Dachau; he had several skirmishes, and has taken about 600 prisoners.—The Austrians now occupy a position with their left at Ulm, and right near Memmingen. Prince Murat is in front of them, with the reserve of cavalry, and the corps of Marshals Ney and Lannes. Ney is near Ulm, and Lannes near Weissenborn.
A decisive affair is about to take place.—The retreat of the Austrian army at Ulm, &c. is almost entirely cut off. It finds itself in the same position which the army of Melas had at Marengo.—As the troops pass the Lech the Emperor harrangues every regiment; tells them a great battle is about being fought, and of the confidence he reposes in them. These discourses have been delivered during tempestuous weather.—Snow fell in abundance, and the troops were knee deep in mud, but the Emperor's words operated like fire, the soldier forgot his fatigue and privations, and was impatient for the combat. Marshal Bernadotte arrived at Munich the 12th Oct. at which time Prince Ferdinand was there.—Never have there been so many events decided as within these few days. In 15 more the destinies of the Austrian and Russian armies will be decided.
FIFTH ARMY BULLETIN.
Elchingen, 22d Vendemaire, year 14. (15th October, 1805.)—The engagements of Wertingen and Gunzburg have been succeeded by events of the highest importance, the actions of Albeck and Elchingen, the capture of Ulm and Memmingen.—Marshal Soult arrived on the 21st before Memmingen; surrounded it, and after different parleys, the Commandant capitulated.—Nine battalions, two of which were grenadiers, have been made prisoners, a Major General, three Colonels, several superior Officers, ten pieces of artillery, a great quantity of baggage and ammunition of all kinds have been the result of this affair. All the prisoners were immediately sent off to head quarters.—At the same instant Marshal Soult set out on his march for Ochsenhausen, in order to come down upon Beberfeld and thus have it in his power to cut off the only retreat remaining to the archduke Ferdinand.—On the other hand on the 19th, the enemy made a sortie on the side of Ulm and attacked the division of Dupont, which occupied the position at Albeck. The action was obstinate to the last degree. Surrounded by 25,000 men, these 6,000 brave fellows made head against every thing and took 1,000 prisoners. These corps need fear nothing; they were the 9th light, 82d, 69th and 76th of the line.—On the 21st, the Emperor set off in person to the camp before Ulm and ordered the enemy's army to be invested. The first operation was to take possession of the bridge and possession of Elchingen.
On the 22d, at day break, Marshal Ney passed this bridge at the head of the division of Loison. The enemy disputed with him the possession of Elchingen with 16,000 men, he was overthrown every where, lost 2,000 men in prisoners, including a Major General, and was pursued even into his intrenchments.—Marshal Lannes occupied the small heights which commanded the plain above the village of Ploel. The riflemen got possession of the head of the bridge of Ulm; the confusion was extreme throughout the place. At this moment Prince Murat caused the division of Klein and Beaumont to move; they routed the enemy's cavalry at every point.—On the 22d, General Marmont occupied the hills of Unterkircher and Oberkircher at the mouth of the Iller in the Danube, and all the enemy's communication on the Iller.—On the 23d, at day break, the Emperor set out in person for Ulm. The corps of prince Murat and those of Marshal Lannes and Ney, placed themselves in order of battle to make the assault and force the intrenchments of the enemy.—Gen. Marmont with the division of dragoons or foot of Gen. Baraguay d'Hilliers, blockaded the town on the right bank of the Danube.—It is a most shocking day: the soldiers up to their knees in dirt. The Emperor has not taken off his boots these 8 days.—Prince Ferdinand had fled along in the night towards Biberach, leaving 12 battalions of cannon.—Marshal Soult took possession of Biberach on the 23d in the morning. Prince Murat is now pursuing the enemy's army, which is in a most ruinous state.
Of an army of 80,000 men, only 25,000 are left, and we have reason to hope that these 25,000 will not escape us.—Immediately after his arrival at Munich, Marshal Bernadotte, pursued the detachment of General Kraymayer, took his equipage and several prisoners.—General Kraymayer has evacuated the country, and recrossed the Inn. The Emperor's promise is thus realized, and the enemy driven out of Bavaria. Since the beginning of the Campaign we have taken more than 20,000 prisoners, 30 pieces of artillery and 20 stand of colours. If to this be added the defections and deaths, it may be calculated that the Austrian army is reduced one half. The Emperor has his head quarters to day, at the Abbey of Elchingen.
PRUSSIA VS. FRANCE.
LONDON, OCT. 26.—We announced yesterday, the important intelligence, that the King of Prussia has not only given permission to the Russian troops to march through the Prussian territories, but that he had also determined to co-operate with the Allies against France. Our intelligence is now confirmed in its full extent. Baron Jacobi, the Prussian Ambassador has instructed M. Freytag, the Prussian Consul, residing in London, to warn all Masters of Prussian vessels, in this country, against entering any of the ports of France or Holland, as thereby their vessels might be brought into danger. Notice to this effect, was last evening to Lloyd's, to the Custom-House of London, and we believe, to all the out-ports. A Council was held yesterday at Lord Mulgrave's Office, at which the following appointments took place:
Lord Harrowby to be Ambassador Extraordinary to the Court of Berlin.—Mr. Hammond to be Principal Secretary, and Mr. Montague, Private Secretary to Lord Harrowby.
DOVER, OCT. 28.
A great deal of firing has been heard on the French coast, and the French from Boulogne sent out a pinnace within cannon-shot of our cruizers, and then abandoned her; on her being picked up by the Imbertalie, there was found a letter on board, which was landed here this morning: it states, that the French have totally defeated the Austrian army, who have lost most of their artillery, baggage, &c. and that Gen. Mack, and several other officers of distinction, are taken prisoners.

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 4. An engrossed bill making an appropriation of 250,000 dollars towards defraying the expenses of the navy during the year 1805, for which the previous appropriations had proved insufficient, was read a third time and passed without a division. On motion of Mr. J. Randolph, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
General Varnum in the chair. Mr. J. Randolph offered the following resolutions: 1. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the United States, as relates to the subject of quarantine and health laws, be referred to the committee of Commerce and Manufactures. 2. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the United States, as relates to the aggression committed on our coasts by foreign armed vessels, to the defence of our ports and harbours, to the building of forty-four gun ships, and to the providing of arms and ammunition, be referred to a select committee. 3. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the United States as relates to the organization and classification of the militia, and to the augmentation of our land forces, be referred to a select committee. 4. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the United States, as relates to our naval peace establishment, be referred to a select committee. Previous to a decision on these resolutions, Mr. Bidwell rose and said that it was his wish to offer an additional resolution relative to a subject not embraced in them. The chairman observed that the resolutions first offered must in point of order be first decided upon, after which the resolution alluded to could be received, or it might be read in argument while they were under consideration. The foregoing resolutions were then severally read and agreed to without a division. Mr. Nicholson said he would offer another resolution, the substance of which was not embraced in the resolutions submitted by his friend from Virginia—viz: Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the United States, as relates to the conduct of the belligerent powers towards the United States, and to the unjustifiable construction lately given by some of them to the law of nations as it regards the rights of neutrals, be referred to the committee of ways and means. Mr. Bidwell said this resolution embraced in some measure his object; but as it did not exactly comport with it, he would take the liberty of reading, by way of argument, the resolution which he had prepared. Mr. B. then read the following resolution: Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the United States, as relates to injuries done to us, as a neutral nation, by the interposition of new, unjust and acknowledged principles into the law of nations, be referred to a select committee, with instruction to enquire, in what respects, and to what extent our neutral rights have thus been violated, and what legislative measures the true interest of the United States requires, to counteract such violations.
After considerable debate the resolution was read from the chair as follows: 5. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the U. S. as relates to the conduct of belligerent powers towards the United States, and to the unjustifiable construction lately given by some of them to the law of nations, as it regards the rights of neutrals, be referred to the committee of ways and means, with instruction to enquire in what respect, and to what extent our neutral rights have been violated, and what legislative measures the true interest of the U. S. requires to counteract such violations. Mr. Bidwell enquired to what committee the defensive measures recommended by the President had been referred. The Chairman replied to a select committee. Mr. Bidwell said that subject appeared to him as much connected with the revenue, as principles which respected the law of nations. If that subject had been referred with propriety to a select committee, surely this might also, as it was not so necessarily connected with revenue as to make it the peculiar business of the committee of ways and means. Mr. Smith remarked that it appeared that the ideas of both the gentlemen were incorporated in the resolution as it stood; and that the only subsisting difference was as to the committee. This was not of sufficient importance to occupy much of their time. The subject might most properly go to a commercial committee; but as he believed the committee of ways and means perfectly competent, he should not object to the resolution. The question was then taken on the resolution and passed in the affirmative, ayes 56—nays 42. The committee rose and reported the resolutions, which the house immediately took into consideration.—The first, second, third and fourth were agreed to without a division; and the fifth—ayes 57.—The second resolution was referred to Messrs. Dawson, N. Williams, Blount, Elv, Darby and Sisk.—The third resolution to Messrs. Varnum, Basset, Sturges, Lambert, Rea of Pen. Marion and Blake.—And the fourth to Messrs. Gregg, Garnet, Bidwell, Goldsborough, Hough, Wynns and Ruffin.
FRIDAY, DEC. 6.—A message was delivered from the President of the U. States, by Mr. Coles, his secretary, as follows: "Mr. Speaker, "I am directed by the President of the United States to deliver to you a message in writing." The Speaker, having received and opened a packet of considerable size, observed that the message was confidential, and thereupon ordered the galleries to be cleared.—In about one hour and a half the doors were opened, when it appeared that part of the communications made by the President were confidential, and that the members of the House remained under an injunction of secrecy with regard to them; and that another part was confidential. This part embraces, among others, the following documents: 1. A letter from Governor Claiborne to the Secretary of State, dated Oct. 24, 1805, in which after stating the preparations making by the Spaniards at Poozacola and other places, he says: "I flatter myself that hostilities between the U. States and Spain may be avoided and that an honorable adjustment of our differences may ensue. But I am inclined to think that the Spanish agents calculate on a speedy rupture and are making all the preparations that their means permit to commence the war in this quarter." 2. Statements respecting the detention of the American Gun Boats. 3. Correspondence between Gov. Claiborne and the Marquis de Casa Calvo on exempting the Spanish officers from municipal taxes. 4. Correspondence between Gov. Williams of the Mississippi territory and Gov. Graudpre, with sundry communications to the Secretary of State on outrages committed in the Mississippi territory. 5. Documents to show that the settlement of Bayou Pierre on the Red river, at which a principal aggression took place, was originally made by France, while possessing Louisiana; and came to the possession of Spain only by the general delivery of Louisiana to her as a part of it. 6. Extract of a letter from C. Pinkney, dated Aug. 1805, as well as one dated Sept. 22, 1805, respecting Spanish depredations. 7. Communications from Gov. Claiborne, dated October 24, 1805, respecting obstructions on the Mobile. 8. Copy of a letter from the commander of ship Housatonic to the Secretary of the Navy.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1805.
Important News from Europe Has been received since our last. The London dates, of Nov. 7, state, that a junction of the Prussians with the Russians, was confirmed by the Dutch Journals of the 4th Nov. Prussia has conceded full liberty of transit to the Russian forces, and is marching her armies to Franconia, on the banks of the Rhine. Three armies, of 150,000 men, are on their march. 24,000 Saxons, and 20,000 Hessians, are to be united to the armies of Franconia. A treaty of 20,000 men, was on its march to oppose the French forces. The Emperor of Russia is hurrying to the scene of action, at the head of 60,000 men; and his Imperial brother of Germany is marching with another army. It was reported that the Archduke Charles had gained a victory over the French army, under Massena, in Italy. (Demo't.)
LONDON, NOV. 7.
Great Naval Victory.
ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, NOV. 6, 1805. Dispatches were received at the Admiralty this day, at 1 o'clock, A.M. from Vice-Admiral Collingwood, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels off Cadiz, of which the following are extracts.
Euryalus, off Cape Trafalgar, Oct. 22. SIR, "The ever to be lamented death of Vice Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson, who, in the late conflict with the enemy, fell in the hour of victory, leaves to me the duty of informing my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, on the 19th inst. it was communicated to the Commander in Chief, from ships watching the motions of the enemy in Cadiz, that the combined fleet had put to sea; as they sailed with light winds westerly, his Lordship concluded their destination was the Mediterranean, and immediately made all sail for the Strait's entrance, with the British squadron, consisting of 27 ships, three of them 64's where his Lordship was informed of the enemy's movements, that they had not yet passed the Straits.
On Monday the 21st inst. at day light, when Cape Trafalgar, bore E. by S. about 7 leagues, the enemy was discovered six or seven miles to the eastward, the Commander in Chief immediately made the signal for the fleet to bear up in two columns, as they are formed in order of sailing, a mode of attack his Lordship had previously directed to avoid the inconveniences and delay in forming a line of battle in the usual manner. The enemy's line consisted of thirty-three ships (of which 18 were French and 15 Spanish,) commanded by Ad. Villeneuve, the Spaniards under the direction of Gravina, were, with their heads to the northward, and formed their line of battle with great closeness and correctness; but as the mode of attack was unusual, so the structure of their line was new.
The action began at 12 o'clock, by the leading ships of the columns breaking through the enemy's line, the commander in chief about the tenth ship from the van, the second in command about the twelfth from the rear, leaving the van of the enemy unoccupied; the succeeding ships breaking through in all parts, after a of their leaders, and engaging the enemy at the muzzles of their guns; the conflict was severe; the enemy's ships were fought with a gallantry highly honourable to their officers, but the attack on them was irresistible. About three P. M. many of the enemy's ships having struck their colours, their line gave way. Admiral Gravina, with ten ships, joining their frigates to leeward, stood towards Cadiz. The five headmost ships in their van tacked, and standing to the southward, to windward of the British line, were engaged, and the sternmost of them taken; the others went off, leaving to his Majesty's squadron NINETEEN ships of the line, with three Flag Officers, viz. Admiral Villeneuve the commander in chief, Don Ignatio Maria D'Aliva, Vice-Admiral, and the Spanish Rear Admiral, Don Baltazar Hidalgo Cifuentes.
The Achille (a French 74) after having surrendered, by some mismanagement of the Frenchmen, took fire, and blew up; two hundred of her men were saved by the tenders.
I have also to lament the loss of those excellent officers, captain Duff, of the Mars, and Cooke.
I fear the numbers that have fallen will be found very great, when the returns come to me; but it having blown a gale of wind ever since the action, I have not yet had in my power to collect any reports from the ships.
The whole fleet were now in a very perilous situation, many disabled.

all situated, in thirteen fathom water, off the shoals of Trafalgar; and when I made the signal to prepare to anchor, few of the ships had an anchor to let go, their cables being shot. Having thus detailed the proceedings of the fleet on this occasion, I beg to congratulate their Lordships on a victory, which, I hope, will add a ray to the glory of his Majesty's Crown, and be attended with public benefit to our country."
It is of little consequence, observes a correspondent, whether the federalists praise or censure the message of the President. It is a document that will speak for itself, and the principles contained in it cannot fail of encreasing the love and attachment of every true American, be his political sentiments what they may, to so distinguished a character. Mr. JEFFERSON's greatest object appears to be, to support the honor, dignity and independence of the United States, over which the voice of millions of its fellow-citizens has repeatedly called him to preside. There are malcontents in all governments; perhaps in no nation in the world are there so few, comparatively, as in America, certainly none so absurd and unreasonable. In other governments the minority oppose tyranny and oppression, in this country they oppose LIBERTY and the RIGHTS OF MAN, and may with propriety be characterized as their own worst enemies! (Boston Chronicle.)
The following toast was given by Gen. Eaton, at the public dinner at Washington—"The Federal Union—Let political dissention and individual candor be absorbed in that love of country which shall teach violence and rapacity that WE ARE ONE."
The N. E. Palladium lays—"To glue gold leaf on leaf, is 'no easy matter,' Glue gold leaf upon leaf! 'a chaste and sublime figure indeed! And what makes it more expressive, the idea of 'gluing gold leaf' is so vastly natural! The same paper lays in the same column—"The federalists are republicans, they were ever such, and so was WASHINGTON!" If thus, plunging Washington over head and ears in federal filth, is not "gluing gold leaf upon leaf," it is enveloping a diamond in a dung hill. Rep. Far.

O'Good, aged about 90 years—She was sick about three weeks, in which term she was brought to her last station in the true light of Christ, and was enabled to look to God for help, and that to the deliverance of her soul from sin and bondage, so that she could triumph over death and the grave, and say, thanks be to God that giveth us the victory through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ—Seeing her friends weeping around her bed, she sang with a voice loud and shrill, as tho' she had been well, the following hymn—viz.— Why should we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarm, 'Blest are the dead who die in the Lord' At Kittery, Mrs. MARCY ADAMS, aged 69, wife of Mark Adams, Esq. At the Plains in this town, Mr. NATH'L SHERBURN, aged 70; also in this town, Master WILLIAM FERNALD, son of Capt. Samuel F.—Mrs. SARAH PERKINS aged about 80 years, wife of Mr. NOAH P.—A child of Mr. Sules.

20 DOLLARS REWARD! WHEREAS some ill minded Person or Persons have repeatedly, in different parts of this Town, committed most scandalous abuses on the property of the peaceable Citizens thereof, by pulling down or defacing signs, pulling down posts, and breaking them to pieces, and many other enormities, very much to the injury of the Citizens and against the peace and dignity of the Town. We therefore offer the above reward to any Person who may give information against any such offender or offenders, so that he or they may be brought to justice.

800 DOLLARS REWARD! STOLEN from the subscriber on the evening of the seventh instant, two small Trunks containing Notes of Hand to the amount of about Ten Thousand Dollars, amongst which were the following, viz. four subscribed by Aaron Burbank, of Varshire, for three hundred and twenty seven dollars, two subscribed by Jeremiah Bowen of Corinth for two hundred dollars, (both of whom live in the state of Vermont,) two subscribed by Peter Smith, of Danbury in the State of New Hampshire for two hundred dollars. The remainder of the Notes that were carried away in said Trunks were subscribed principally to me by people living in the towns of New-Hampton, Meredith and Bridgewater. There were also carried away a large number of receipts of considerable value and other papers of consequence. Any person who will return said Notes of hand, to the subscriber or give information so that he may obtain them shall receive three hundred dollars reward, and in proportion for any part of them. Any person who will apprehend the thief or thieves, so that he or they may be convicted and brought to justice shall receive five hundred dollars Reward. It is hoped that the good citizens of this and the neighboring states will use their best endeavors to apprehend said villain or villains, as it is dangerous for people to sleep without a guard while such rascals have their liberty. N. B. The person or persons who perpetrated the above theft must have had a suitable key, as the chamber door where said trunks were deposited, was opened without injury to the lock, and he or they must have done it out of personal malice and envy, as the papers can be of little benefit to any person but the real owner.

The End of the Wicked. Thou shalt surely die. To shall not surely die. THIS day published, and for sale—Five SERMONS, entitled "The Doctrine of the Prince of Peace, and his Servants, contrasted with the Doctrines of the Prince of this world, and his servants, upon the same subject; proving that the Doctrines of the Universalists and Calvinists, are not the Doctrine of Christ and the Apostles; also, the foundation of Calvinism & Priestcraft shaken. By ELIAS SMITH. In these Sermons it is proved from twelve words, and several expressions in the Scriptures, that the idea generally held, that the wicked will be eternally miserable, is contrary to the Bible, and that the Doctrine of the Universalists, respecting men's being not punished at all, or punished for a season, and delivered, is equally unscriptural. It is proved that the Second Death, which the wicked will die after the Resurrection, means the destruction of the Soul and Body, which will be the end of the wicked, so that they will be no more—"Whole End is DESTRUCTION."

AUCTIONS. THIS DAY. Valuable sale at Auction. To be sold at Public Auction, THIS DAY at 12 o'clock M. on the premises,
THAT valuable Lot of LAND, a few rods south of the Court House in Portsmouth, being the corner Lot on the southerly side of Congress Street, and fronting on said street 53 feet, and in depth 78 feet—also fronting Church lane—it is unnecessary to enumerate the advantages this lot naturally embraces for business, or its pleasantness and convenience for public or private use—the situation is high, the passages commodious round it. Congress Street, at the foot of which it is situated, being the principal street through which persons on business from the country pass to the market, and before this lot where they make their first stand, would afford a store there, additional advantages to most any in town—the brick market is neatly opposite to it, and the parade before it.
