Continuation of the latest Foreign Advices, received at the office of the "Philadelphia True American,"—and continued from our paper of yesterday.
STRASBOURG, 10th Vendemaire. We have just learned the official news that Prince Murat has obtained a complete victory over the Austrians after a severe contest which lasted many hours, the Prince surrounded an Austrian division of 15,000 men, caused them to lay down their arms, and made them prisoners of war. The division under Marshal Augereau, is expected daily.
STUTTGARD, October 9. We have just been informed of the capture of the towns of Bopfingen, Nordlingen, by the troops under the command of Marshals Lannes and Ney. The troops under Generals Bernadotte and Marmont are expected in the environs of Neubourg. The Bavarian troops under General Deroz has arrived at Eichstett, and occupied it after having forced the Austrians to evacuate it. The Austrians have evacuated almost the whole of the Upper Palatinate; there only remains two regiments of Horse.
The Emperor of Austria, arrived at Vienna on the 30th September, the Emperor of Russia was daily expected at the same place.
The vast plans conceived by the Emperor Napoleon, has commenced. The different divisions of the army of Holland, has reached the different places, where they are to act. The principal object of these movements is to prevent the reunion of the Russian army with the Grand Austrian army, and such is the nature of these movements, that every thing seems to combine to insure complete success.
It is said Prince Paul of Wurtemberg accompanies his Majesty the Emperor of the French in this campaign.
MANHEIM, October 9. The Provincial Magistrates of Bohemia, have addressed a strong remonstrance to the Emperor of Austria, remonstrating against the Russian army passing through their territory, and stating how much the country had suffered formerly from similar conduct.
By letters from Stuttgart and other places through which, Napoleon, the Emperor, has passed; we learn, that it is impossible to conceive of the activity of this monarch: there are always three hundred horsemen in his retinue, who neither know the hour of departure or place of destination, until the very moment: at one o'clock in the night he goes to bed, and frequently is on his horse at three o'clock.
WURZBOURG, October 5. All exportation of grain from the principalities of Wurzburg and Bamberg, is prohibited, under penalty of confiscation; as also from Danzig; at the latter, horses are also prohibited.
PARIS, 25th Vendemaire, (Oct. 16.)
FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
Augsbourg, 20th Vendemaire, (12th Oct.)
Marshal Soult has arrived with his division of the army, at Landsberg, and has thereby cut off one of the greatest communications of the enemy: he arrived on the 19th, at 4 o'clock in the morning: he there met with the regiment of Cuirassiers of Prince Ferdinand, which, with 6 pieces of cannon, retreated by forced marches towards Ulm.
Marshal Soult ordered it to be attacked by the 26th regiment of chasseurs, by whom it was thrown into so much confusion, that it fled, leaving 120 soldiers prisoners, 1 lieut. col. 2 captains & 2 pieces cannon. Marshal Soult, who conceived they would continue their route towards Memmingen, had sent forward several regiments to cut off their retreat, but they had retired, into the woods, where they rallied, and took refuge in the Tyrol.
Twenty pieces of cannon, and part of the baggage of the enemy had passed on the 18th, through Landsberg. Marshal Soult dispatched general Sebastiani in pursuit of them, with a brigade of dragoons. It is expected they will be overtaken.
On the 20th marshal Soult directed his march towards Memmingen, where he will arrive on the 21st about day break.
Marshal Bernadotte continued his march the whole of the 19th, and his van-guard was within 2 leagues of Munich. The baggage of several Austrian generals have fallen into the hands of our light troops. He has taken about 100 prisoners belonging to different regiments.
Marshal Davoust has marched towards Dachau. His van has arrived at Moisach. The Hussars of Blankenstein were routed by the chasseurs, and he has made about 60 prisoners in different engagements.
Prince Murat, with the cavalry of reserve and the corps of marshals Ney and
Lannes, is posted opposite the enemy's army, the right of which occupies Memmingen, and the left Ulm.
Marshal Ney is on the Danube opposite Ulm.
Marshal Lannes is at Weissenhorn. General Marmont, is endeavoring, by forced marches, to take a position on the heights of Illersheim; and Marshal Soult flanks from Memmingen, the right of the enemy.
The Imperial guard has left Augsburg for Burgau, where the Emperor will probably arrive to-night.
A decisive action is about to take place. The Austrian army has almost all its communications cut off. It is now nearly in the same situation in which the army of Melas was at Marengo.
The emperor was on the bridge of Lech when the army of general Marmont passed it. He directed each regiment to form in a circle, and addressed them on the situation of the enemy, the near approach of a great engagement, and of the confidence he had in their bravery. This harangue took place in the midst of an immense fall of snow, the troops were in the mud up to their knees and the weather extremely cold: but the words of the emperor warmed them: and in listening to him, the soldier forgot his fatigues and privations, and became impatient for the hour of combat.
Marshal Bernadotte arrived at Munich, on the 20th, at 6 o'clock in the morning: he had taken 800 prisoners and in pursuit of the enemy. Prince Ferdinand was at Munich; it appears that he has abandoned his army of the Iller.
On no occasion have such great events been decided in less time. Before the expiration of two weeks, the fate of the campaign of the Austrian and Russian armies will be decided.
One of our journals has the following article, under the date of "BERLIN, October 4. A report is in circulation, that a revolution has taken place at Petersburg; the details of which are of so important a nature, that it would be imprudent to say any more on the subject, until we shall have received more particular and positive accounts of the transaction."
Positive accounts from Strasburg, which we have just received, announce the taking of Ulm. This is merely report, but we ought to be surprised at nothing, if we take into view the rapidity with which Napoleon I. executes his vast and complicated plans.
We have seen arrive at the same point, and nearly at the same moment, the armies from the coast of Brest, of La Manche, of the bank of the Zuyder Sea, and from those of the Baltic. We feel, we every where witness, the extraordinary genius which conceives and directs every thing. Behold the effect of that diversion which England has wished to produce upon the continent! How terrible a scourge to Europe, is the English Government!
VIENNA, Oct. 3.—General Kulusow, Commander in Chief of the Russian army, which is now marching through Lower Austria, is momentarily expected here. Between the 3d and 9th of this month, all the divisions of this army will have passed the Danube at two points, near Polten and near Kems. To accelerate the march of this army, sixteen hundred waggons have been put in requisition in the different circles: a part of which have already been forwarded to meet the Russians.
The War has scarcely commenced, and we already experience all its calamities: the Court Gazette of the 23th, contains the following official article, which has thrown the whole capital into consternation. "The urgent necessities of the State renders the establishment of additional taxes necessary. They will be divided into three classes: to wit: 1st. An extraordinary tax upon funded property: a tax, according to rank, as already laid in the present year: and 3d. An extraordinary capitation tax. These heavy impositions, the weight is alone sufficient to ruin us, are, independent of enormous contributions in grain and forage which are demanded. The States of Bohemia, have addressed to the Governor, energetic remonstrances on the subject, which appear to be dictated by despair."
Wurtzburgh, Oct. 8. His Highness the Elector Bavaria-palatinate has been informed this day, by a courier, that the French army had passed the Danube, and that the Austrian troops had retreated. The corps of the army under the command of Lieut. Gen. Duroc, must also by this time, have passed that river. Our most serene elector yesterday received intelligence from the imperial residence of a very satisfactory nature.
The Bavarian army in conjunction with that of Marshall Bernadotte, has entered
the Upper Palatinate. The officers write that it is necessary to make war on the side of Frenchmen in order to learn how to act without loss of time. No heavy baggage, no tents, except those of the Generals. Every one is on foot, and on the alert: instead of bread, biscuit made of excellent flour, which is extremely nourishing. We progress from 10 to 12 leagues daily.
Frankfort Oct. 10.
The vast plan conceived by the emperor Napoleon begins to develop itself. The different corps of the army of Germany have at this moment arrived at their respective points of action. The principal object of this sudden, and well-directed movement is to prevent the junction of the Russian army with the main army of the Austrians, by cutting off the latter and throwing it back upon the Tyrol. For this purpose a great part of the French forces has advanced towards Donawerth and Ingolstadt, to make itself master of the Danube, to pass that river and to flank the Austrians upon the Iller, from Ulm to Memmingen. This appears to be the plan of the French, and every thing announces, that it will be crowned with success.
Letters from Stuttgart and other places through which the emperor has passed give an astonishing idea of the activity of this monarch. The day of his arrival at Ludwigsburg, although very much fatigued, he paid a visit to the Elector and his lady. At one o'clock in the morning he retired to rest and rose at three. He has constantly three hundred horses in his suite, saddled and ready to set off at a moment's warning: so that no one knows the hour of their departure or destination.
ULM, October 11.
Bulletin of the operations of the Austrian army, (extracted from a private letter).
In the beginning of this month a considerable corps of Austrian troops was concentrated in our environs. This corps formed a part of the main army; the count de Giulay, Field Marshal Lieutenant, was appointed commandant.
The Arch Duke Ferdinand, General in Chief, who arrived on the 4th, returned on the 5th to Mindelheim.
In the night of the 4th and 5th, several regiments of the advanced guard of the Austrians, who had retired to the entrance of the Black Forest, arrived here with their commandant, general count Klenau.
On the morning of the 5th general Mack also arrived. The works for re-establishing our fortifications not being in forwardness, 6000 additional peasants, and a great number of the inhabitants of our city were put in requisition. We worked all night by torch light.
On the 5th the troops assembled in the city, and the neighboring villages were greatly reinforced. We saw arrive in procession the regiment of the Cuirassiers of Mack, that of the light horse of Klenau, that of Schartzenberg Houlan, more than 6000 infantry from the borders of the Iller, on the side of Memmingen, Lentkeich, &c. also arrived, and continued their march in ascending the Danube.
On the 6th the Austrian generals were greatly alarmed: they had been informed that detachments of French cavalry, from the corps of the army posted at Villingen and Gaudelfingen, were advanced on the left bank of the Danube as far as Flehingen and Riedheim, opposite Liepheim. The regiment of the Cuirassiers of Mack set out at a gallop to attack, and if possible, drive back the French detachments.
Information was received on the 7th that the French had arrived in great force at Nordlingen, and were marching for Donawerth, probably with a view to pass the Danube, at that place.
In the night of the 6th and 7th, a considerable corps of the army had been assembled in haste at Gunzburg; on the 7th, it was reinforced, and gen. Mack, arrived to command in person.
At 5 o'clock in the morning of the 8th, a courier arrived from gen. Mack, to order the generals, who were in our city, or in its vicinity, to march immediately. The same morning, the main Austrian army, which arriving from Buchau, and Reddingen, had for several days been assembled in our environs, was put in motion and descended the Danube on each bank of that river. This unexpected departure of the army occasioned great joy in our city; and it was hoped that we should not again see the Austrians, who, having lived at free quarters, had occasioned the greatest scarcity of provisions, which cannot be wondered at, when it is considered that for several successive days our small town had been burthened with 25,000 men.
The Austrian head quarters was also removed on the 8th to Bergau. On the same day M. Stinker, the Austrian commissary
at Stuttgart, arrived at Ulm, on his way to head-quarters, where he was to succeed the count d'Aicholt, as civil commissary with the army.
During the whole of the 9th, a heavy cannonade was heard proceeding from the lower Danube. In the night of the 8th and 9th, a part of the army, which had been stationed on the Lake of Constance, and which had reached the Danube by forced marches, arrived here, and also four battalions of grenadiers from Biberach.
The command of our city and its environs was confided to the Austrian Field Marshal Lieut. Zellachich.
On the 9th we learned that the Austrians intended in the night of the 9th and 10th, to have attacked that part of the French army which had passed the Danube at Donawerth. Gen. Mack, supposed that he should easily succeed in compelling the French to recross the river, and in re-establishing his communications with Bavaria. But the defeat of one of his corps at Wertingen, on the 8th, appeared to have decided him to renounce the attempt, and again to retire to the Iller.
In the night of the 9th and 10th, the Arch Duke Ferdinand, General Mack, and many other generals, arrived in this city, which continues to be the head-quarters.
Yesterday (the 10th) a strong body of the army passed through our city, on its way to the left bank of the Danube. It will take a concentrated position at Wippensteig, and on the mountains of the Alb.
It is reported, that General Mack, perceiving the impossibility of maintaining his position in Suabia, and of passing again into Bavaria, has conceived the hazardous project of retiring, by forced marches, through Lower Suabia & Franconia into the Upper Palatinate—but it is difficult to imagine how this intention can be executed without exposing his retreat to be cut off by the French army.
The Austrian generals and officers, concede that things are in a very dangerous position.
There was a bloody action yesterday in the environs of Gunzburg, in which the Austrians were repulsed with the loss of many men. It is said that they have retired by the bridge of communication which they had established on the left bank of the Danube.
The last letters from Augsburg, received here, are of the 2th, (since which the courier has not arrived.) The French were then at Mettingen, some leagues from Augsburg. Two days before the work on the fortifications on Ingolstadt, had been suspended. Several Austrian regiments from the Tyrol had passed by Augsburg, others by Kempen, directing their march to Memmingen. The corps of general Kienmayer, consisting of 10,000 men, which had been stationed in the environs of Nordlingen, has retired upon Neubourg, where it passed the Danube, and afterwards retreated to Aichbach, and thence to Landsberg, on the Lech.
PHILADELPHIA, December 9.
By the French papers it appears, that the Bulletins Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, are official communications and deserve the full credit that is usual to such documents, and as they appear to give a regular detail of the movements of the French army, we have collected them to follow each other, that thereby our readers may have the whole at one view. The common editorial accounts and remarks follow.
The papers we have received, are full of intended marches and countermarches, addresses of the Generals to the army of the Emperor, to the different officers, and every thing tends to inculcate the idea, that the French are determined to follow up their first success, by the most vigorous conduct, realizing the old proverb, that the first blow, if well struck, is half the battle—More translations to-morrow.

POSTSCRIPT.
Just as our paper was putting to press, Capt. M'Kinsey, of the ship Leonidas, from Liverpool, favoured us with a paper of the 9th October. The Prussians had taken possession of Hanover, and the blockade of Hamburgh was expected to be raised immediately. The French on evacuating Cuxhaven, destroyed the batteries. The king of Prussia had forbidden the exportation of grain from his dominions. American fine flour on the 3th, 54 5/8 sterling.—Extracts in our next.

NINTH CONGRESS, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, December 9.
Petitions, &c. presented the House of Representatives on Monday, 9th Dec. 1805.
Petition from the crew of the late frigate Philadelphia, stating that certain allowances, in such cases made and provided, had not been given to them—that the deprivation of such fell heavy upon them during their long confinement in Tripoli. The petition enumerated Tobacco, and other small necessaries, the comfort of seamen, also for jail-money. Referred to the committee of claims.
Ordered, That a committee be appointed to prepare rules and regulations for the better government of the army of the U. States.
Petition of Thomas Spalding, stating, that at the last election for Georgia, he was a candidate to represent them in this house—that he had 4504 votes; whereas the sitting member had only 4465. That the governor of Georgia was enjoined to make a return in twenty-five days, in which time three counties had not returned a state of the poll, owing to a hurricane which happened on the 8th September last.
Referred to a committee of elections. Petition of John Riley, for military services.
Referred to a committee of claims. Petition of Wm. Wedderburg, stating that he purchased the rights of several soldiers and others, which were burnt at the public offices.
Referred to the committee of claims. Petition of Edward Briggs, of Rhode-Island.
Referred to a committee of commerce and manufactures.
TUESDAY, December 10.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT (not confidential) covering certain documents of facts, relative to the aggressions committed by Spain, upon the commerce and citizens of the United States.
They state robberies to have been committed by Spaniards in Louisiana in the ceded territory to the United States, and the obstruction of our commerce in the River Mobile.
Referred to a select committee. Mr. Dawson moved that the bill prohibiting the exportation of arms and ammunition out of the United States be again proceeded upon.
The bill was read with the blanks filled up as agreed upon yesterday.
Mr. Crowningshield thought it would be best to disagree to that part which was filled up "one hundred dollars for the purpose of inserting a larger sum." There are often said to be three or four shippers in one vessel, and if among their several shipments there be found, of the articles named to the amount of one hundred dollars, the vessels is forfeited, and the master liable to be indicted, and fined one thousand dollars. This was going too far. Fifty pound of gun powder was often worth one hundred dollars, and for this trifle, these consequences may ensue.—He thought the quantity found on board should be of the value of five hundred dollars at least.
A motion was read and carried to this effect.
Affirmative 77. It was then moved to insert after the word "cannon" the word "balls"—for it was now discovered, that though cannon were prohibited, yet that very necessary appendage to it, the ball, was omitted.
Mr. Nicholson moved to amend the bill by inserting, "or from the territories of the United States by land or water."
Mr. Gregg did not wish to prevent the bill passing—but he wished to know, what necessity there was for it. He found no fault upon the secretary at war, to say what
quantity of arms and ammunition was in possession of government—nor did he know what quantity was in the U. States—he therefore wished for information before the bill proceeded further.
The Speaker replied, there was no question before the House, when the engrossed bill was read, observations and amendments might be made.
Mr. Nicholson—As the bill now stands, it respects the exportation by water only. No provision is made to prevent it by land—There is no penalty on waggons and carriages taking the articles enumerated in the bill, out of the United States. He therefore moved an amendment to that effect.
Mr. Gregg observed that in an exportation by land, they would chiefly be carried by pack horses, and they were not included in the last motion.
It was now discovered that the word "mortars" was also omitted in the bill and a motion was made to add the word.
Mr. Nicholson in order to get rid of these motions, moved the re-commitment of the bill that it might go back to the committee who framed it, to prepare a new one. Agreed.
Mr. Sloan offered the following resolution.
Resolved, That a tax or duty of ten dollars per head, be imposed on every slave hereafter imported into the U. States, Agreed.
He said he was not anxious that the resolution should be immediately taken up. It might be two or three days upon the table.
Mr. Finley moved, that a petition from the Presbyterian Society of George-Town, signed by S. W. Balch, and others, for an act of incorporation, and to raise the sum of 3000 dollars by way of lottery, to build a meeting house be referred to a select committee of 3, and to report by bill or otherwise.
Petition of several refugees from Canada and Nova-Scotia, presented last session, and reported on, in favor of three of the petitioners. Moved to be referred to a select committee of 3. Agreed, and to report by bill or otherwise.
The petition of Jacob Jackson and Chas. Spencer, executors of Wm. Garter, was referred.
On motion of Mr. J. Lewis, jun. the petition of Ann B. West, by her agent John Pick, presented last session, was referred to a committee of claims.
Mr. Clay presented a petition from the manufacturers of hats in Philadelphia, complaining of great difficulty in procuring furs from the Indians, by the interposition of the agent on that business; and praying that the furs brought to him might be put up at auction.
Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Petitions of Jeremiah Beggin, E. Brown, Jacob Barnes, Edward Jenkins, and Thomas Dennis, presented, and referred to committees.
WEDNESDAY, December 11.
Mr. Dawson brought forward the amended bill, respecting the exportation of arms and ammunition.
Ordered to be engrossed. (By this act, no arms, or warlike stores are to be exported out of the United States, until the end of the next session of Congress, either by land or water; and in case any such are found on board any vessel bound to a foreign port, or in any wagon or carriage, with intent to export the same by land the same shall be forfeited, to the amount of five hundred dollars in value; and the captain or owner indicted, and on conviction fined one thousand dollars.)
Tribute of Gratitude, to
GENERAL WM. EATON.
It fell to the lot of Mr. Bidwell, a new member from M. Bachofets, to fulfil the pleasing duty of bringing this business forward.
He said, that in the late war between this country and Tripoli, great services were rendered, and great benefits derived from the gallant and meritorious services of William Eaton, Esq. He deserves, continued Mr. Bidwell, the thanks of his country, and together with his little army, are entitled to some distinguished mark of gratitude. He therefore moved the following resolution:
"Resolved, That the President of the United States, be requested to present a Sword, in the name of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives, in Congress assembled, to WILLIAM EATON, Esq. as a testimony of their approbation of his gallant and good conduct, in leading his army through the desert of Lybia; and in conjunction with the ex-bashaw, and a small part of the naval force of the United States defeating the Tripolitan army, and taking the city of Derne; contributing thereby, to the successful termination of the war, and to the release of our fellow citizens from slavery."
Agreed, and ordered to be now read a second time, which was done. Referred to a committee of the whole, and made the order of the day for to-morrow.
Mr. T. Randolph wished to extend the time for bringing in claims for French spoliations, assumed by the United States. He stated, that three millions five hundred thousand dollars, was appropriated for that purpose, and that the time limited would expire with the present month, when several claims would not be brought in; and he moved that the remaining part of said sum of three millions five hundred thousand dollars, should stand in the Treasury, for the purposes contained in the bill. Carried.
Referred to a committee of the whole House, and made the order of the day for to-morrow.
Mr. Sloan, wished to take up the resolution he presented yesterday, for laying a duty of ten dollars on every slave imported into any part of the United States.
Upon motion of Mr. Williams, it was laid over until Monday fortnight.
Some petitions being presented, which we shall notice hereafter, the house—Adjourned.
VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
Governor PAGE's Letter to the Legislature of Virginia, at the commencement of December Session, 1805.
Richmond, December 2, 1805.
SIR, AS it is proper to give the earliest notice of such proceedings of the Executive as require the approbation of the General Assembly, I have the honor to notify to them the appointment of Creed Taylor, Esq. to fill the vacancy occasioned on the bench of the General Court, by the death of the venerable and patriotic Joseph Jones, Esq. and to state that this appointment was made in obedience to an injunction of the 14th article of the Constitution, which ordains, "That the two Houses of Assembly shall by joint ballot appoint Judges of the Supreme Court of Appeals," &c. to be commissioned by the Governor, &c.— "In case of death, incapacity, or resignation, the Governor with the advice of the Privy Council, shall appoint persons to succeed in office to be approved or displaced by both Houses."
And I next lay before the General Assembly, the several papers herewith directed to your attention, which are marked alphabetically, from (A) to (G) reserving a few others for a future communication, which will be made as soon as the reports shall be prepared for the Executive.
The paper marked (A) contains a communication from the Governor of Pennsylvania, respecting an amendment of the constitution of the United States, proposed by the state of Kentucky, by confining the judiciary powers of the courts of the United States, to cases in law and equity arising under the Constitution and laws of the United States and treaties made or which shall be made under their authority—Cases affecting ambassadors or other public ministers and Consuls—Cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; to controversies to which the United States shall be a party; and to controversies between two or more states; which amendment was adopted by the Senate and House of Representatives of Pennsylvania by their respective resolutions; in which also the concurrence and co-operation of each state in the union is requested. That marked (B) contains a letter from the Governor of Pennsylvania, dated April 5th, 1805, including a copy of an act of the legislature of that state, on the subject of improving the navigation of the Ohio river, which has been passed in consequence of a resolution of the legislature of Kentucky, dated December 9, 1803, and requesting to receive early information of the names and places of such commissioners as may be appointed by the state of Virginia; that co-operative measures may be taken by the commissioners of the states of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky; and Ohio, who it is proposed shall be appointed to view the rapids of the river Ohio, and consider the proper means of opening and improving its navigation; and also to state an estimate of the expenses necessary for that purpose, and the reasonable proportion to be advanced by each of these states according to the probable advantages they may respectively receive."
Each of those important communications contains such a full and perfect statement and explanation of their respective objects, that they require no comments; but I cannot refrain from remarking that the former is favorable to the sovereignty of individual states, and the latter to their fraternal union; and mutual interest, and furnishes a precedent which, if observed, will forever render a consolidation of the states unnecessary.
Under the cover marked (C) is a letter from Capt West, Esq. Secretary of the Mississippi Territory, and acting as governor thereof, communicating a memorial of the Mayor, Aldermen, Assistant medical faculty, and other citizens of the city of Natches, addressed to the legislature of that Territory, soliciting their attention to the case of the Hospital establishment in that place, and praying that it may be recommended to the patronage and assistance of the states and Territories bordering on the Mississippi and Ohio, as well as of Congress; stating the justice and propriety of such an application: to which is annexed an act of the said Territory "to establish an Hospital in the city of Natches, and incorporating trustees of the same." An encouragement of this institution will be worthy of the friends of humanity, and of all who wish to cultivate a reciprocation of friendly offices between the sister states.
(D) Contains a report to the Richmond District court of the repairs necessary to be made to the jail of the said court;
(E) Contains a report of a committee appointed, by the district court held at the Sweet Springs stating that the jail is in a decayed state, insufficient for the safe keeping of Prisoners, and does not appear ever to have been provided with a fire place or stove, which state of the jail makes a guard constantly necessary.
(F) The resignation of Brigadier General Scott.
(G) A letter from John A. Chevalie, requesting that a sum of money may be appropriated to satisfy two decrees of the High Court of Appeals, therein referred to.
I have the honor to be, with great respect and esteem, your most obedient servant,
JOHN PAGE.
Hon. the Speaker of the Senate.
MOUNT VESUVIUS.
Naples, August 13.
Yesterday (says a letter) at 10 o'clock at night, the eruption of Vesuvius, of which the earthquake seemed to be the forerunner took place. We were going to visit the Crater, when the cries of the people, and a volume of flame informed us that the volcano had opened. The lava precipitated itself in three seconds from the last peak of the mountain, and took a direction towards the valley situated between Torre del Greco and Torre del l'Annunziata, two towns on the sea coast beyond Portici, and seven or eight miles from Naples.
"We set off immediately to see this wonderful and tremendous phenomenon nearer. From the place of our departure, we saw the whole course of the Lava, which extended nearly two miles from the Crater, to the houses that join the two towns. The sight was the most magnificently frightful that could be seen. I contemplated the cascades of flame pouring from the top of the mountain, and shuddered at seeing an immense torrent of fire ravage the finest fields, overthrow houses, and destroy in a few minutes, the hopes and resources of a hundred families.
"A line of fire marked the profile of the mountain; a cloud of smoke, which seemed to send forth from time to time flashes of lightning, hung over the scene, and the moon appeared to be pale. Nothing can adequately describe the grandeur of the scene, or give an accurate idea of the horror of it. As we approached the spot ravaged by this river of hell, ruined inhabitants having quitted their houses: desolated families trying to save their furniture or provisions, last and feeble resource: an immense crowd of curious persons retreating, step by step from the advancing lava, and testifying, by extraordinary cries, their wonder, fear and pity: the frightful bellowing of the mountain, the frequent explosions which burst from the bosom of the torrent, the crackling of the trees devoured by the flames, the noise of the walls falling, and the lugubrious sound of a bell which the religious of the Camaldules, isolated on a little hill & surrounded by two torrents of fire, rang in their distress—such are the details of the frightful scene to which I was a witness.
"The moment we arrived, the lava was crossing the great road below Torre del Greco. To see it better we got into a beautiful house on the road side—from the terrace we saw the fire at no more than 15 paces from us: in a minute we descended, and twenty minutes afterwards there remained of the house but three large walls. I approached as near as the heat and flow of the current would permit me. I attempted at different times to burn the end of my handkerchief in it: I could only do it by tying it to my cane. The lava does not run in liquid waves: it resembles an immense quantity of coals on fire, which an invincible strength had heaped up and pushed on with violence. When it met with a wall, it collected to the height of seven or ten feet, burns it, and overthrew it at once. I saw some walls get red hot like iron, and melt, if I may use the expression, into the lava. In its greatest speed and on a horizontal road, I reckoned that the torrent traveled at the rate of 18 inches a minute.—Its smell resembled that of iron red hot."

The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow Fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholic, Colic, Flatulency, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.

KENTUCKY LANDS.
The Subscriber has FOR SALE, 53,500 ACRES of Land in Harden county, Kentucky, binding for 20 miles on the western shore of Knolleion, and lying about 25 miles from Harden court house. Knolleion is navigable from the land into Green river, and is the best fish stream in Kentucky.
This land, though near the Barrens, is well wooded, and remarkably well watered. The outlines include 70,000 acres, but there are 16 or 17,000 acres of elder surveys within the lines, which are accurately laid down by actual survey made three years ago, for the purpose of ascertaining interferences. There is no land in Kentucky more free from dispute than the quantity offered for sale. On these elder surveys there are two mills and many families, and on the subscribers land there are about a dozen families, deftous of buying their settlements, and he has reason to believe 100 families more would have purchased and settled on the land in the present year, had it suited his affairs to have sold out in single parcels; that part of the country possessing health, and many local advantages, and being near the centre of the state.
Samuel Turner of this town, knows this land well, and will take the trouble to give a just description of its quality, to those who may desire it.
This land, if applied for prior to the 24th December, will be held at 50 cents per acre, on bond with interest, payable in 1, 2, 3 & 4 years. If the bonds be satisfactorily secured, unquestionable title will at once be given for the land.
