NEW YORK, December 17.
Very Late and Important.
By the Neptune, which arrived last evening in 35 days from Liverpool, the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has been favored with London papers and Lloyd's lists to the 7th November, and Liverpool papers to the 9th, inclusive.
They are principally occupied with the operations of the French and Austrian armies in Germany, of which we cannot until to-morrow give even an outline.
The intelligence of the defeat of the combined squadron before Cadiz, in which the gallant Nelson lost his life, is of so much importance that we have excluded almost every other article of news to lay before our readers the official details of this very interesting subject.
We shall proceed in our next with a regular series of events which, since our former advices, have occurred upon the continent of Europe.
Of marshal Bernadotte nothing further is known than that on the 19th of October he occupied a position between Munich and the Inn, the Austrians there being on their own side of that river.
Bonaparte, with the whole of the army, would join him about the 25th or 26th, when the farther operations against the Austrians and Russians would be commenced.
The army of Italy under Massena, passed the Adige on the 18th October, after an action in which the Austrians had 1500 killed and as many taken prisoners. The report of Massena's defeat by the archduke Charles was received in London by way of Catalonia, and rested on no official authority.
London, October 31.
AMERICAN BOTTOMS.
The following official communication will be read with much interest by the commercial world. It relates to a subject of much importance, and embraces consequences of the greatest magnitude. We shall offer no remarks on it at present.
Great Cumberland Place, Oct 28, 1805.
SIR, I HAVE the pleasure to enclose you a copy of a note from lord Mulgrave, containing information that his majesty has thought fit to relax in certain respects the blockade of the ports of Cadiz and St. Lucar, which is now formed by his naval forces.
As the modification which is given to the blockade of these ports by this declaration of his majesty, may be of importance to the United States, I have to request that you will be so good as to communicate it, without delay, to their consuls at the several ports, that their citizens may have advantage of it.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your very obliged servant,
(Signed)
James Munroe.
Gen. Wm. Lyman, Consul of the U. States, &c. &c. &c.
TO JAMES MUNROE, Esq.
Downing Street, Oct. 27, 1805.
The undersigned, his majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, has the honor to inform Mr. Munroe that the king having been pleased, in conformity to the note transmitted by the undersigned, to Mr. Monroe the 25th of April last, to direct that the necessary measures should be taken for the blockade of Cadiz, and St. Lucar, and such ports having been and being now blockaded, the undersigned is commanded, to acquaint Mr. Monroe that his majesty is pleased to declare that such blockade, shall not extend to prevent neutral vessels from entering into and sailing from said ports of Cadiz and St. Lucar provided that the vessels so entering and sailing from the said ports shall not be found to have on board, or carried to said ports any warlike or naval stores, or any article or articles intended to be, and usually converted into warlike, naval stores, or provisions of any kind whatever, excepting such as may be fairly deemed sea stores, for the use of the crews of such neutral vessel. The undersigned is therefore commanded to request Mr. Monroe to apprise the American consuls and merchants residing in England, of this determination of his majesty. The undersigned requests Mr. Monroe to accept of the assurances of his high consideration.
Signed,
Mulgrave.
December 27.
The vanguard of the second Russian army, amounting to twenty thousand men arrived at Bohemia, about the middle of last month, and there is every reason to believe that a few days afterwards they formed a junction with the troops on the Inn. The remainder of the second Russian army might be expected to have wholly joined the troops on the Inn by the latter end of last month.
Captain Langford arrived at the admiralty this afternoon, accompanied by a Russian officer, bringing with him most important dispatches from the Elbe.
These dispatches bring a treaty of alliance, which has been concluded between this country and his Prussian majesty, whose army of eighty thousand men was actually on its march against the common enemy when the dispatches were sent off. The emperor of Russia had been at Berlin to hold a conference with his Prussian majesty.
The same emperor is hurrying to the scene of action, at the head of an army of sixty thousand men; and his imperial brother of Germany is also marching at the head of another army.
Government yesterday morning received the interesting intelligence that the combined Russian and Prussian forces have entered Hanover, where every thing is again put on its former footing. Six thousand French have thrown themselves into the fortress of Hameln, where it is supposed they will be blockaded.
The number of Prussian troops which were to be assembled at Hildesheim by the 26th ult. is stated in a letter from that place at fifty eight thousand men; and the number of those which were to repair to the provinces of Franconia at 50,000.
The Prussian troops on their march to Franconia and Westphalia are to be joined by 24,000 Saxons and twenty thousand Hessians.

Admiralty Office, Nov. 6.
Dispatches of which the following are copies, were received at the admiralty this day at one o'clock A. M. from vice admiral Collingwood, commander in chief of his majesty's ships and vessels off Cadiz.
Sir Euryalus, off Cape Trafalgar, Oct. 22.
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 necessity of informing my lords commissioners of the admiralty, that on the 19th instant, it was communicated to the commander in chief from the 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 Straits' entrance, with the British squadron, consisting of 27 ships, 3 of them 64's, when his lordship was informed by captain Blackwood (whose vigilance in watching and giving notice of the enemy's movements, has been highly meritorious) that they had not yet passed the Straits.
On Monday the 21st inst. at daylight, when Cape Trafalgar bore E. by S. about seven leagues, the enemy was discovered six or seven miles to the eastward, the wind about west and very light: the commander in chief immediately made the signal for the fleet to bear up in two columns, as they formed in order of sailing; a mode of attack his lordship directed, to avoid the inconvenience and delay in forming a line of battle in the usual manner. The enemy's line consisted of 33 ships (of which eighteen were French & fifteen Spanish) Commander in Chief Admiral Villeneuve; the Spaniards under the direction of Gravina, were with their heads to the northward, and formed their line of battle with great coolness and correctness, but as the mode of attack was unusual, so the structure of their line was new; it formed a crescent convening to leeward, so that in leading down to their centre, I had both their van and rear abaft the beam; before the fire opened every alternate ship was about a cables length to the windward of her second, a-head and a-stern, forming a double line, and appeared, when on their beam to leave a very little interval between them—and this without crowding their ships. Admiral Villeneuve was in the Bucecentaure in the centre, and the Prince of Asturias bore Gravina's flag in the rear; but the French and Spanish ships were mixed without any apparent regard to order of national squadron.
As the mode of our attack had been previously determined on, and communicated to the flag officers and captains, few signals were necessary, and none were made, except to direct close orders as the lines bore down.
The commander in chief in the Victory led the weather column, and the Royal Sovereign which bore my flag, the lee.
The action began at twelve 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 12th from the rear, leaving the van of the enemy unoccupied; the succeeding ships breaking through in all parts, astern 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 honorable to their officers, but the attack on them was irresistible, and it pleased the almighty disposer of all events to grant his majesty's arms a complete and glorious victory. About three P. M. many of the enemy's ships having struck their colors, their line gave way; admiral Gravina, with ten ships joining their frigates to leeward, stood towards Cadiz. The 5 headmost ships in their van tacked, and standing to 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, of which two are first rates, the Santissima Trinidad, and the Santa Anna, 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 Cisneros.
After such a victory it may appear unnecessary to enter into encomiums on the particular parts taken by the several commanders; the conclusion says more on the subject than I have language to express; the spirit which animated all was the same; when all exert themselves zealously in their country's service, all deserve that their high merit should stand recorded; and never was high merit more conspicuous than in the battle I have described.
The Achille (a French 74) after having surrendered, by some mismanagement of the Frenchmen, took fire and blew up, 200 of her men were saved by the tender.
A circumstance occurred during the action, which so strongly marks the invincible spirit of British seamen when engaging the enemies of their country, that I cannot resist the pleasure I have in making it known to their lordships: The Temeraire was boarded by accident, or design, by a French ship on one side, and a Spaniard on the other; the contest was vigorous, but in the end the combined ensigns were torn from the poop, and the British hoisted in their places.
Such a battle could not be fought without sustaining a great loss of men. I have not only to lament in common with the British navy and the British nation, in the fall of the Commander in Chief, the loss of a hero, whose name will be immortal, and his memory ever dear to his country; but my heart is rent with the most poignant grief for the death of a friend, to whom by many years' intimacy, and a perfect knowledge of the virtues of his mind, which inspired ideas superior to the common race of men, I was bound by the strongest ties of affection, a grief to which even the glorious occasion in which he fell, does not bring the consolation which perhaps it ought; his lordship received a musket ball in his left breast about the middle of the action, and sent an officer to me with his last farewell, and soon after expired.
I have also to lament the loss of those excellent officers, caps. Duff of the Marrs, and Cooke of the Bellephron; I have yet heard of none others.
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 it in my power to collect any reports from the ships. The Royal Sovereign having lost her masts, except the tottering foremast, I called the Euryalus to me while the action continued, which ship lying within half made my signals, a service captain Blackwood performed with great attention; after the action I shifted my flag to her, that I might more easily communicate my orders to, and collect the ships, and towed the Royal Sovereign out to seaward. The whole fleet were now in a very perilous situation, many dismasted; all shattered in thirteen fathom water off the shals 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, but the same good providence which aided us through such a day preserved us the night, by the wind shifting a few points and drift-
ing the ships off the land, except four of the captured dismasted ships, which are now at anchor off Trafalgar, and I hope will ride safe until those gales are over.
Having thus detailed the proceedings of the fleet on this occasion, I beg leave 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.
I am, &c.

(Signed) C. COLLINGWOOD. GENERAL ORDER. Euryalus, October 22, 1805.
The ever to be lamented death of Lord Viscount Nelson, Duke of Bronte, the Commander in Chief, who fell in the action of the 21st, in the arms of victory, covered with glory, whose memory will ever be dear to the British navy and the British nation, whose zeal for the honor of his king and for the interest of his country, will ever hold up as a shining example for a British seaman, leaves to me a duty to return my thanks to the Right Hon. Rear Admiral the captains, officers, seamen, and detachments of royal marines serving on board his majesty's squadron now under my command, for their conduct on that day; but where can I find language to express my sentiments of the valor, and skill which were displayed by the officers, the seamen and marines, in the battle with the enemy where every individual appeared a hero on whom the glory of his country depended; the attack was irresistible, and the issue of it adds to the page of naval annals a brilliant instance of what Britains can do when their king and their country need their service.
To the Right Honorable Rear Admiral the Earl of Northesk, to the Captains, Officers, Seamen, and to the Officers, Non-commissioned Officers and Privates of the Royal Marines, I beg to give my sincere and hearty thanks for their highly meritorious conduct, both in the action, and in their zeal and activity in bringing the captured ships out of the perilous situation which they were, after the surrender, among the shoals of Trafalgar, in boisterous weather.
On the 22d in the morning, a strong north

wind blew, equally weather, which however did not prevent the activity of the officers and seamen of such ships as were manageable from getting hold of many of the prizes (thirteen or fourteen) and towing them off to the westward, where I ordered them to rendezvous round the Royal Sovereign, in tow by the Neptune; but on the Sovereign, the gale increased, and the sea ran so high, that many of them broke the tow rope, and drifted far to leeward, before they were got hold of again, and some of them taking advantage in the dark and boisterous night, got before the wind, and have perhaps drifted upon the shore and sunk; on the afternoon of that day the remnant of the combined fleet, ten sail of ships, who had not been much engaged, stood up to leeward of my shattered and straggled charge, as if meaning to attack them, which obliged me to collect a force out of the least injured ships, and form to leeward for their defence: all this retarded the progress of the hulks, and the weather continuing, determined me to destroy all the leeward most that could be cleared of the men considered that keeping possession of the ships was a matter of little consequence compared with the falling of little consequence into the hands of the enemy; but even this was an arduous task in the high sea which was running.
I hope, however, it has been accomplished to a considerable extent; I entrusted it to skilful officers, who would spare no pains to execute what was possible. The Captains of the Prince and Neptune cleared the Trinidad and sunk her. Captains Hope, Baynton, and Malcolm, who joined the fleet this moment from Gibraltar, had the charge of destroying four others. The Remnant of the fleet of the Swiftsure while in tow. The Santa Anna, I have no doubt, is sunk, as her side was almost entirely beat in; and such the shattered condition of the whole of them, that unless the weather moderates, I doubt whether I shall be able to carry a ship of them into port. I hope their Lordships will approve of what I (having only in consideration the destruction of the enemy's fleet) having thought a measure of absolute necessity.
I have taken Admiral Villeneuve into this ship; Vice Admiral Don Aliya is dead. Whenever the temper of the weather will permit, and I can spare a frigate (for there were only four in the action with the fleet, Euryalus, Sirius, Phoebe, and Naïad; the Melpomene joined the 22d, and Euridice and Scout the 23d,) I shall collect the flag officers, and send them to England, with their flags, (if they do not all go to the bottom) to be at his Majesty's feet.
There were four thousand troops embarked under the command of general Contamin, who was taken with Admiral Villeneuve in the Bucentaure. I am, Sir, &c.
(Signed) C. COLLINGWOOD. We are enabled to add the following particulars respecting the departed Hero, (Lord Nelson) When his Lordship found that by his skilful manoeuvres, he had placed the enemy in such a situation that they could not avoid an engagement, he displayed the utmost animation, and his usual confidence of victory; he said to captain Hardy, and the other officers who surrounded him on the quarter deck: "Now they cannot escape us; I think we shall at least make sure of twenty of them. I shall probably lose a leg, but that will be purchasing a victory cheaply." About two hours before the close of the action, his Lordship received a wound in his shoulder from a musket ball, which was fired from the tops of the Santissima Trinidad, with which ship he was closely engaged. The ball penetrated his breast, and he instantly fell, he was immediately carried below, and the surgeons pronounced the wound to be mortal. His Lordship lived about an hour, during the whole of which time he remained perfectly collected, and displayed the same heroic magnanimity in his death, that had marked his conduct in every action of his glorious life. A few minutes before he expired he ordered captain Hardy to be called to him; when the captain came, he asked how many of the enemy's ships had struck; the captain replied that as nearly as he could ascertain, fifteen sail of the line had struck their colours. His Lordship then, with that fervent piety, which so strongly marked his character as a man and a soldier, returned thanks to the Almighty; then turning to captain Hardy, he said "I know I am dying, I could have wished to survive to break my halt upon British ground, but the will of God be done." In a few moments he expired!!
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20.
Extract of a private letter from Lisbon, dated September 2. "We have no packets here, but suddenly we are informed, that an English vessel fails to-morrow with a mail. We have received account of a Rochefort squadron cruising between Cape Finisterre and Ortegall. I hope some of our friends will pick them up. A letter was received here yesterday, which states, that the Calder and Collingwood were off Cadiz on the 20th ultimo, with twenty six sail of the line, besides frigates, amongst which are nine three deckers. We are anxiously looking out for a packet, to give you some news that can be depended on. Captain Mudge and his crew from La Topaze are here very well, and go home in the convoy, which only waits for some authentic news of the Rochefort squadron. The Topaze is dreadfully maulled, and the merchants ask 20,000l. repair her.
I send you a list I received from out hand at Cadiz, of the Spanish and French ships arrived there, exclusive of those which were there before. There are of those five sail of the line ready for sea; one of them is La Santissima Trinidad, of 136 guns, and 1450 men. Seven of the large ships are preparing for sea, so that the force in Cadiz will be very large. We are told that the Toulon and Carthagena squadrons have formed a conjunction, and consist of 14 sail of the
line. The Cadiz and French fleets may come out to effect a junction with them, consisting in the superiority of their numbers; but our well appointed British fleets will convince them, should they meet, that they had better have stayed at home.
"In the last Spanish Gazette, which we received yesterday, the Spanish government recalls all their subjects home, be they in any country; and if they do not return within the appointed time to the Spanish dominions, half their property will be confiscated. The reason assigned is, that Spaniards may spend their money in their own country.
"P. S. The want of biscuit and salt provisions is very great at Cadiz, and great animosity prevails between the Spaniards and French."
A very unhappy, and in its detail a very extraordinary misunderstanding, has taken place in Upper Louisiana between general Wilkinson, governor of that district, and numbers of the inhabitants and officers of the United States. We have received statements from both parties, and both agree that the population is divided literally into two parties—one of which is in favour of high toned energetic government, and at the same time professedly anti-jacobinical—the other for moderate legislative government. The Aurora is too remote from the scene of dispute, to render any more than mere historical notice of the facts, at present useful. The proper tribunal in the first instance is at Washington, where we have not the least doubt, every attention will be paid to the case, and such steps taken as may preserve concord in the society, so very necessary in that quarter from the daily aggressions which we experience from Spain.

NINTH CONGRESS, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THURSDAY, December 19.
The Speaker informed the house, that he had received a letter from William H. Harrison, governor of the Indiana Territory, saying, that he had learned with great regret, that certain factious and discontented men, wish to attach a part of that territory to Upper Louisiana, that the most worthless part of the community had been applied to for signatures to a petition to congress, against which the governor and house of representatives of Indiana protested, &c.
Referred to the committee already appointed on Indiana affairs.
The bill for the relief of Charlotte Hazen, widow of the late general Hazen, and three other refugees from Canada and Nova Scotia, to the American army, read a third time and passed.
The Bill for the relief of persons that have been disabled, by known wounds in the revolutionary war, read a third time and passed. Ayes 84.
Mr. J. Clay, called for the order of the day, on the bill making provision for claims of the citizens of the United States on France, and which had been assumed by congress.
[This bill directs, that the remainder of the sum of 3,750,000 dollars, appropriated for that purpose, "shall not be carried to the credit of the surplus fund; but shall remain unappropriated, until the claims payable out of the same shall have been discharged."]
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole thereon.
Mr. Tenney in the chair.
Mr. J. Clay informed the house that the only documents which accompanied the bill, was a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, stating that the limitation of the act of appropriation would expire on the 1st of December next, when many claims would not have been presented, he therefore suggested that the remainder of the sum, should remain to satisfy claimants after such limited time.
The committee rose and reported the bill without amendment. It was ordered to be engrossed and to be read a third time to-morrow.
Mr. Crowninshield, called for the order of the day on the report of the committee of claims, on the petition of Edward Topham and others. It was referred to a committee of the whole, and then to the committee of commerce and manufactures, to prepare and report a bill for their relief.
The bill respecting foreign coin, taken up in a committee of the whole,
Mr. Gregg in the chair.
Mr. Bidwell did not think this a proper mode of legislating. The act was made
under an idea that the money coined at the Mint would be sufficient for circulation, but it had been found otherwise; that instead of suspending, it would be better to repeal the act.
Mr. Varnum declared his wish to have the bill repealed.
Mr. J. Clay, was in favor of the bill before the committee. He did not wish to have foreign coin a legal tender; there was a great deal of clogged gold, and much counterfeit coin in circulation. An English shilling which ought to be of the value of 22 cents, was not generally worth 16 cents.
Mr. Macon, was of opinion with Mr. Varnum, and argued in favor of the admission of foreign coin. When the bill first passed, numbers were alarmed; some parted with their crowns for 105 cents, fearing a greater loss. The connexions we have with England, France, Portugal, &c. makes it a policy—nay a necessity of admitting their coin; for our own is not near sufficient.
In some part of the United States, continued Mr. Macon, the people may as well look for a living Eagle, as for one of gold.
The circulation of the coin of the U. S. is hardly known in many parts.
Mr. Varnum moved the repeal of the act.
Mr. Jackson was in favor of a repeal. He observed, that as to clip or clogged gold it circulated by its weight and therefore it mattered not how much it was cut. It cannot be good policy, continued Mr. Jackson while other nations are offering a bounty, for us to prevent a circulation of foreign coin.
Mr. Varnum said that the gentleman from Pennsylvania Mr. J. Clay, seemed to ground his objections on the danger of counterfeits. A great many people were so little used to the circulation of coin, that they might be as easily deceived by a counterfeit dollar of the U. States as by a base Spanish dollar.
Let us look for a moment, continued Mr. Varnum, into the state of the money in the country. We have a great deal of paper it is true; but at a distance from a bank, a man may go without his dinner, and travel many miles without assistance if he has nothing but paper money with him. Whence this scarcity of coin? because such large quantities are taken out of the U. States; while the banks hoard it up in their boxes, and in its place issue their paper. Hence the distress for want of coined money—and thus, added to the restrictions on foreign coin, we feel the effects of the scarcity.
On a division on Mr. Varnum's motion there were in the affirmative 79—Carried.
The bill was then read with the amendment, which goes to entirely repeal it.
Mr. G. W. Campbell offered the following resolution.
"Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any or what, amendments or alterations, are necessary to be made in the act to regulate the trade with the Indian tribes, and to preserve peace on the frontiers." Carried.
The following resolution was adopted on the motion of Mr. Cooke.
"Resolved, That the committee of Commerce and Manufactures, be instructed to consider the several acts relative to the bounties on salted fish, taken in vessels of different sizes, and to enquire what alterations are necessary therein to equalize such bounties.
Mr. Staunton moved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the fixing the salaries of the Collectors, on imports and tonnage.
Several petitions for post-offices and post-roads were presented—one, to alter the road between Staunton and Lexington: another for a post-road from Berlin to Cumberland. Referred to the committee of Post-offices and Post-roads.

Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachel 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 e- ver before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for re- storing weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittant Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dy- senteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bit- ter 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) Biliary Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, be- speak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fe- vers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholic, Colicwheels, 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 patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genu- ine. Price 50 cents a box.

In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often pro- duces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, diz- ziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysen- teries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti biliary bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle— price 25 cents a box.
