A VIEW OF AUSTRIA.
[The following details, translated for this Gazette, from a late number of the Journal de Soir , a Paris paper must be extremely interesting to the political reader, as exhibiting a view of the territorial extent, the population and resources of one of the "substantive powers" of Europe, a power which seems for a time to have been broken down by the overbearing genius of Bonaparte, but which from its physical strength, must again rise to its wanted rank in the scale of nations.]
Environed on every side by the great empires of France, Russia, Prussia & Turkey, Austria, cannot remain unconcerned spectator, of the political turmoils, which at present agitate Europe. Her singular position adds immensely to the importance which her population, her armies and her territorial wealth, have conferred upon her.
The possessions of the house of Austria do not constitute like those of France and Spain, one of those immutable divisions of the globe, where the aim of the politician is, simply to maintain the unity previously settled by the decrees of nature. We may consider the Austrian empire as naturally divided into five grand sections. The circle of Austria, with the country of Indemnity, occupies a space of 6000 square leagues, of 25 to the degree, inhabited by 4,600,000 souls. The kingdom of Bohemia including Moravia and Austrian Silesia, composes the second section of the great empire. Its superficies have been estimated at 8,900 square leagues, and the number of inhabitants which to these provinces is continually multiplying, exceeds 4,700,000. Galicia, more properly Gallicia, comprehends the Austrian division of Poland, together with the Buckowine, heretofore a part of Moldavia: by the nearest conjecture this immense territory covers a space of at least 8,000 square leagues; while the best received accounts hardly give a population of 4,500,000 though it has been increased one fifth since the division. The fourth great section of the states of Austria takes in the kingdom of Hungary, Transylvania, Slavonia, and some other provinces: this single division is equal to the whole Russian monarchy; for over a surface of 15,400 square leagues, is spread a population of 9,200,000 inhabitants. Lastly the Austro-Venetian states, which though the least extensive, are by far the fairest portion of the empire, embrace an extent of 1,900 square leagues, and a population of 2,000,000 of souls. Thus after the most scrupulous review of authorities,* & the nicest computations we think it probable that the Austrian empire, at this period covers, a portion of the globe of 36,000 square leagues & is inhabited by 25,000,000 of souls. By this it will be seen that Austria is by one sixth more extensive than France, but that space, which in France, contains 100 inhabitants, in Austria contains only 66, in Prussia but 60, and in Russia not more than 14.
The great diversity of origin, language, and interests, among the people of these states is a still further check upon their political importance. We can scarcely count 7,000,000 of native Germans, whilst those nations of Slavonic origin, as the Bohemians, the Poles, and the Slavonians of Hungary, form a total of more than 12,000,000. The native Hungarians to the number of 3,000,000, have not the slightest resemblance to their neighbors. They are descended, not from the Huns, but from a race of Finlanders, the same people who formerly occupied the north & north eastern extremities of Russia. The Wallachians too, the Venetians and other nations, less numerous, preserve each their peculiar idioms, their manners, their annals of national glory and local interests: add to this no two provinces are under the same political regulations. In the province of Transylvania alone there are 3 different forms of government. The nobles of Hungary have from time immemorial affected republican aristocracy. The Tyrolese, & this they owe in part to their position, as well as to their courage, still preserve some semblance
* My authorities are—the works of M. de Lucca, professor at the University of Vienna, the Statistical Annals of M. de Lichtenstein, the Archives of Schœrer, Travels of Hacquet, Ferber, Hermann, Hungarian Statistics of Novaint, Larabinsky, &c. in fine, a hundred German and other works, of which I avail myself in making the description of the Austrian empire, which occupies the first 200 pages of the 4 volume of the Mathematical, Physical and Political Geography of all parts of the world published by Fardieu and Laporte. In that may be found under each province all the details of Statistics or Political Geography of which I have here given an extract.
of a democracy. Neither the Venetians nor the Bohemians have forgotten their ancient prerogatives, though diminished by the jealous policy of Austria, that very policy which has left with the Poles a faint image of his Diet. Thus the empire of Austria is, strictly speaking a federative monarchy. Joseph the 2d felt very sensibly the inconveniences arising from such a dispersion of force & interest; but his impetuosity hurried him into measures at once violent & ill-conducted; he struck at the very root of all old prejudices; he galled the consciences of his subjects.
From the old and venerable forms of divine worship down to the paltry dialect of a province, every thing was in one day to bear the character of the most rigorous uniformity. This princely reformer thought a decree was all that was necessary, to transform the Hungarian and the Belgian into philosophic Germans, and to give to an immense majority the language, manners, and ideas of the minority. The consequences of so violent a system threatened the empire with total dissolution, the Tyrolese murdered—Belgia was in arms, Poland stood collected and indignant—and the fate of Austria was committed to the Hungarians: and those same Hungarians whose generous fidelity had once saved Maria-Theresa, now boldly told Joseph that as he had not deigned to be crowned in Hungary he was not their king but a foreign usurper. The unhappy monarch heard on his death bed the shrieks of rebellion and the alarm of civil war, which on every side menaced his throne. The first step of his successor Leopold II. was to replace every thing on its ancient footing to yield even to prejudices, & to restore to each portion of the empire what its various inhabitants looked upon as the basis of their happiness and the palladium of their liberty.
The slow and imperceptible action of ages can alone wear away those prominent traits of character which at present distinguish the spirited Hungarian from the cautious and phlegmatic German, or the superstitious and savage Wallachian from the industrious and ingenious inhabitant of Bohemia: time alone can accustom the brave Polander and the haughty Venetian to a foreign domination, however mild and politic it may be.
Venice, the seat of elegance and refinement, as well as Prague, the protectress of literature and the arts, beholds with regret the lustre which the presence of the government shews over Vienna—over that Vienna which the people of Berlin and even of Hamburg, have loaded with so many epigrams. The inhabitants of Vienna enjoy the same reputation throughout Germany, which the Boetians formerly did in Greece, and the people of Champagne in France. Prejudices like these, which stigmatize a whole nation, are certainly unjust: but such is the fact, nevertheless, that Vienna has never acquired that empire of opinion, temper and habits, which Paris and London exercise over the provinces; a circumstance, which to an enlightened mind, cannot appear of trivial importance to the state.
For some years past, the Poles and Hungarians have redoubled their efforts and zeal to enrich and preserve, and bring their languages to the nearest possible degree of perfection. It is only in Bohemia and Moravia that the German language has hitherto spread. But we have dwelt long enough upon the imbecility of the Austrians; let us now turn our eyes to the brilliant tablet of her territorial wealth.
Bohemia is encompassed by mountains abounding in precious stones, copper, iron and particularly tin. The pine and the fur, crown the lofty summits of these mountains; while the sturdy oak and the linden overhang their bold acclivities. The surface of the wide spread hills, wave with "vegetable gold" and purple; and their grape distills a rich and palatable liquor, though not admitting of transportation. Their wheat, corn, flax, hemp, are all excellent; and their hops are superior to any in Europe. Great pains are taken to perfect their breed of sheep and to render the texture of their fleeces more delicate. The skins of the Bohemian hares are much esteemed in the manufacture of hats. The productions of Moravia are similar to those of Bohemia: but the cattle of Austria Silesia are finer because they receive much more attention. These beautiful provinces, at first inhabited by indolent hordes of Slavonians, are indebted to the colonies of Germans settled among their mountains, for their linens, cloths, muslins, hats, glass and crystals; a circumstance which will always leave the balance of commerce in their favor.
The soil of Austria Proper, is much more favorable to the cultivation of the vine than of corn. It yields many kinds of salts, but not of the finest crystallization.
From a false principle of political economy, every species of manufacture is concentrated in the capital. Those of silk, cotton, calicoes, jeans and jewels are in the most flourishing state: clock making is likewise carried to a great extent. But the imperial manufactory of wool near Lintz, surpasses them all in real utility.
Syria furnished the Romans in ancient times with iron; and yet its mines seem inexhaustible. The lead of Carinthia is of an excellent quality, and the quick silver mine in Idria is unrivalled. In the Tyrol and in Salzburg there are enormous masses of sal gemma stretching along the line of the northern half of these majestic Alps, which here rise to a height little below that of Mount Blanc*. Mountains and islands seem throughout the world to be the native seats of courage, strength and activity. The minds of men in such situations are much more bold and daring, and their bodies are of a robust make. With the assistance of a rope ladder the Tyrolese will often scale the most tremendous precipices—he breaks up the little patches of land on the cragged cliffs, and covers them with luxuriant herbage, though it be enveloped in eternal snows. But the labors of the hardy Tyrolese will never vanquish a soil inimical to culture. Yet he is never discouraged. He knows how to extract aromatic waters from some Alpine plants, and with a few marmots which he has accustomed to a state of captivity (such are his simple treasures) he travels all Germany, vendng little Italian gew-gaws, and returns to his humble shed considerably enriched.
The inhabitant of the Austro-Venetian States is not reduced to so painful a subsistence: The Alps for him ascend the skies, & save him from the northern blast; for him the fields of Padua nourish flocks, whose fleeces vie with those of Spain; for him the orange, the citron and the fig, carefully sheltered at the approach of winter, display the live long summer their richest verdure and their luscious fruit; the flexible vine encircles with its tendrils the purple mulberry; and, safe beneath their natural vine props, his cornfields never dread a burning sky. The cragged and romantic shores of Istra and Dalmatia, afford many excellent havens; and if ever a canal should be cut between the Danube and the Adriatic, they will be places of great traffic.
They are even now endeavoring to render the river Kulp navigable; this stream falls into the Save, and has its source only six leagues distant from the Gulph of Quarnero.
Hungary would feel the importance of such an opening more than any other portion of the Austrian dominions; and most assuredly this extensive and beautiful country deserves the most favorable regard of its government. How various, how rich, how abundant are the productions of this territory. Light are the toils of its husbandmen.
So rich a soil, assisted by the genial influence of a mild and humid atmosphere, yields an almost spontaneous vegetation. Here vast herds of oxen with horns of enormous size, range majestically over plains, bounded only by the horizon; there thousands of horses bound upon the distant hills and snuff the invigorating breeze. Through luxurious fields of corn and maize, are interspersed orchards of figs, of almonds, of plums, and of chestnuts.
The vine of Tokay imbibes its luscious juice from a soil of decomposed basaltes; previous to their being expressed the grapes are culled and dried in the sun. The red wine of Smyrna resembles that of Montepulciano; and for the most part, the vineyards of Slavonia and Croatia appear not unworthy of their Greek and Italian extraction. It is true some parts of Hungary present a rougher aspect; mountains where rocky summits rise in terrific grandeur above the dark and interminable forests, producing nothing but here and there a scanty blade of oats; but much treasure is concealed in their bowels; gold pure and fine, copper in the greatest abundance and of the best quality, the only true copal, and immense quantities of sal-ammoniac.
There is not a single province under the dominion of Austria that is destitute of natural riches. Even the cold and ruggid Galicia may boast of her noble herds her luxuriant fields of wheat and rye, but especially of her salt mines, situated near Bothnia and Wieliczka; they are too well known
* The Arch Duke Charles, who is well versed in mineralogy and geology, with the lord bishop of Gruck and other distinguished personages, recently made a tour to the Alps: the interesting result has been published in the " Journal des Mines Allemand ," by the Baron de Mole.
to require any thing but a bare mention. The opening of several mines of iron, felling of wood, as well as the breeding of sheep, may hereafter prove sources of wealth to this province. But the principal natural outlets of this country are under a foreign government.
Hungary is similarly circumstanced with regard to the Danube, as is Bohemia to the Elbe. So that after all her acquisition and extention of territory, Austria is still cramped and fettered in every direction, because she has no invulnerable side.
Let any one take a view of the military frontiers of the Austrian empire, and he will be made sensible of the inefficacy of her system of aggrandizement. Galicia, within her present limits, has not one natural barrier. If the Austrian armies should be called out to defend this country, every thing must be committed to their courage; in case of a defeat, their only safe retreat would be the Carpathian mountains. Bohemia is secure at present from a sudden invasion. Prague is covered by the fortress of Egra, of Theresienstadt, of Plessy and of Olmutz. The Tyrol is another rampart for Austria. That and Bohemia form two bastions, which the nature of things require to be connected by the famous line of the Inn, of which Austria has yet not obtained the cession. These fortifications are already erected in the territory formerly belonging to Venice; but considering the partition of Dalmatia, and drawing a line from the mouth of the Cattaro towards Orsova and Belgrade, we may easily conceive how infinitely important it must be to Austria to have her views accomplished.
It is supposed that Austria maintains in time of peace an army of 280,000 fighting men; of which 240,000 are regular infantry, 50,000 are cavalry, 12,000 artillery, and 70,000 militia stationed along the frontiers with other irregular troops. The Hungarians and Polish cavalry are the finest in the world. The Tyrolese are formidable marksmen, and the Austrians, after a seven years terrible apprenticeship to the art of war, are ranked among the finest soldiers of Europe. The disasters of their armies are to be attributed entirely to the baneful influence of the Aulic military council, which the wisdom of the archduke Charles has of late confined within a narrow compass, but not entirely destroyed. Without permission from Vienna, their generals could not strike a blow. The want of information among the subalterns has been a subject of public reprehension with the great man above named; a prince who has obtained the glorious title of the restorer of the military discipline of his country.
The Austrian marine is yet to be created. M. de Lichtenstein asserts that in 1802, there were 24,000 national vessels in the ports of Austria, but we must have enumerated every little fishing boat. In the same manner the number of vessels arriving at Trieste in one year, has been swelled to 6600 or 7000. I believe there are about 500 vessels above 10 tons, the property of Austrian subjects. The establishment of a marine, without a coast many times more extended, would be a very difficult undertaking for Austria as well as Prussia, and after all of very doubtful utility.
The financial system of Austria has undergone and is every day undergoing so many new changes, that it would be impossible to say any thing of it with precision. It is said that the revenues of the state, which had been very much increased for the last four years, amount to 193,000,000 of florins of Vienna, (free of expenses of collection) a sum equivalent to 507,000,000 of Francs, reckoning the florin at its current value in Austria. But the course of exchange with other countries being very unfavorable to Austria, this sum would hardly represent 400,000,000. However the revenues of this empire are undoubtedly double those of Prussia, and a little less than those of France in 1789, according to the statement of Mr. Necker.

September 24.

SALEM, Sept. 16. Arrived, brig Decatur, captain Jones of Bath, (Maine.) The Decatur was dismasted on the 5th inst. by a water spout, 4 days after she sailed. In her came a sailor named Gridley, who declares that he belonged to Hingham; that he was impressed from the brig Hannah of Newburyport, captain William Wilcome, on board the British sloop of war Indian, captain Austin, about six weeks from Halifax, which when she sailed from that place, had only 35 men on board, and that during the time he was on board the Indian which was one month, there were pressed on board said ship American and others enough to make up 135 men; that there were as many as 60 impressed Americans while he was on board; and that he saw as many as thirty seamen's protections, taken from the Americans, tore up before their eyes, and then damn them and their country too" when he left the Indian she had in tow the ship Ocean, from England that had been captured, sent in there, tried and re-captured: but captain Austin said that he could condemn her in Halifax, were he so bound! How long are Englishmen to insult the world and make slaves of whom they please? We do not wonder Bonaparte refuses to make peace with England; we rather wonder that the universe does not rise in arms and treat these pirates and free booters as they deserve.
September 17. On Sunday, schooner Prince, B. Shillaber, from Leghorn and Gibraltar. "Captain Shillaber had the misfortune to suffer from that system of tyranny, which the British seem now to have adopted towards the commerce of this country, and which we see no measures taken by our government to repress. On the 10th instant in lat. 42, long. 65, he was boarded by a boat from his Britannic majesty's schooner the Whitings of ten guns, commanding by lieutenant Ockey. The officer, on boarding, called his people abaft, to examine their protections, and after he had done, impressed Peter Brant, one of the seamen, a subject of Sweden, and having also a regular clearance from a British man of war; and then called his cook Quce Godthall, of Salem, who was a bounden servant, and whose indentures were shown him; but the officer pretended they were of no validity, because they were wholly in writing, and not filled up on a printed blank. These two persons, notwithstanding all captain S. could say, were taken from him. He went on board the schooner, and asked the commander whether he meant to keep his men? to which he answered, yes. He asked whether he had not seen the cook's indentures. He replied that he had seen a piece of paper; but that he should take every person he found without a regular protection, whether they are bound as apprentices, and had indentures, or not. The officer also told him, they should impress all the fishermen they fell in with, who were without protections; and that they had taken a number out of fishing vessels." June 5, lat. 35, long. 19, was fallen in with the brig Maria, of Boston, both masts gone full of water, loaded with lumber, no persons on board.
BOSTON, September 19. It was stated in yesterday's Centinel, that advices were received in town by a captain Doane, who had lately arrived from England, "That forty sail of American vessels had been recently condemned in England." This article having excited considerable attention, we were induced to call on captain Doane, and have been informed by him, that the above statement was extremely incorrect: He merely states to us, that previous to his leaving England, which was on the 2d of August, it was reported to him, that since April last, there had been upwards of forty sail of American vessels sent into the different ports of England; that several of them had been condemned: that the principal part had either been released, and again sailed, or were detained on various pretensions. At this particular moment, it behoves the printers of newspapers to be extremely circumspect in what they admit on a subject of such importance as the above, wherein the feelings and interests of the largest and most respectable class of our fellow citizens are so deeply concerned.
BALTIMORE, September 25. Arrived ship Fame, Hart, 28 days from New Orleans. Left there brig —, Smith of Baltimore, from St. Domingo, just arrived. The ship Thomas, Wilson, of N. Y. sailed in co. Off Havana spoke ship Pilgrim, from Campeachy for Philadelphia. Saw a ship and brig bound up at anchor at
the mouth of the river. Very few vessels at New Orleans. Markets brisk.
CHARLESTON, September 9. For eight days past we have experienced in this city an almost continual fall of rain. A great quantity of water has fallen. If it has been general through the state, which is very probable, great injury we fear will be done to the crop of cotton, as in wet seasons the bowels or pods fall from the plant before they arrive at perfection. The rice harvest is also greatly impeded, if not injured; before these rains commenced the prospects of great crops were highly flattering.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.  THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26.
The Secretary at War passed through this town on Tuesday last for Monticello, with dispatches from commodore Barron; which will no doubt soon be made public. (Fredericksburg paper.)
Extract of a letter from Augusta, (Georgia) dated the 26th ult.
"A deputation of Creek Indians is appointed to proceed to the City of Washington for the purpose of disposing of us an additional part of their country."
"Our neighborhood and town continue healthy. A great quantity of rain has fallen in these parts, which has risen the river Savannah, to such a height, as to overflow Beach island (farmed for the culture of corn) and destroyed all the crops."
A gentleman from New York, which place he left on Friday, (says a Boston paper of Tuesday last,) has reported at the Health Office, that the number of cases of malignant fever had much increased, and the disease was very fatal; that 50,000 persons, it was computed, had left the city, being nearly all that could afford to leave it, and that the principal part of those who remained, were poor mechanics, small grocers, draymen & blacks; that from Greenwich (in the suburbs) across to Broadway, tents were erected, forming a street for the reception of persons and goods, which tents were nearly all occupied, supposed by about 10,000 people; that 60 wagons and most of the drays were employed in moving goods; and the roads were crowded with men, women and children, mostly on foot flying from the city; that some cases had followed the fugitives to Greenwich; that the rich and middling people conducted towards the poor with a liberality and benevolence honorable to humanity; so that their situation as respects subsistence was provided for.
The scene however, altogether, was distressing beyond description.
FIRE!! On Saturday morning about day light a fire was discovered in the spacious building owned by Mr. Edward Pennington, as a sugar refinery, in Brewer's alley above Vine street. The flames had gained such an ascendancy, previous to the alarm, as to defy every effort to subdue them. This extensive building, and adjoining apartments, together with all the utensils and a large stock of materials were entirely consumed. The loss thus in one hour sustained by a single individual is said to amount to between 50 and 60,000 dollars. It is not satisfactorily understood how the fire originated.
We are concerned to add, that a possibility of preserving this valuable property, was frustrated by the want of a supply of Schuylkill Water; to whom does the blame of this gross neglect attach?
(Phil. paper.) From the New York Gazette.
Messrs. LANG & TURNER. On a subject which interests so many of our most considerable merchants as the late order of the British government relative to our commerce. I am much surprised to find so little acuteness in the reflections and observations which it has produced. Following the confusion, inconsistent and absurd account of that order which was first published from the London papers, —almost all who have taken any notice of the subject have strongly blended the export of colonial produce, to the mother country in the same bottom in which it was imported into the United States, with the whole mass of our general export trade of our colonial produce. It is palpable that the order relates to the former of these only. To suppose that the expressions in the former part of the London account are correct, is preposterous. What would become of the British manufacturers found in
our vessels? Yet even these are comprised in the words of that account. The sole object of the order, it is evident, is to put an additional check, an unwarrantable check to doubt, upon our indirect trade between the colonies and the mother country thro' the medium of the United States. But this ultimately will be an obstacle of no moment —We have no want of vessels; and in the very few instances in which the importing vessel might be preferred to export in, it will be no great hardship to procure another. A much greater evil will be the effect upon cargoes already shipped, & sent forward in the same vessels in which they were imported. But a greater still is the depredations that will doubtless be committed upon our trade by British cruisers under color of this order. In this view the order is of great magnitude and threatens serious mischief. Let the magnanimous, bold and prompt administration look to it.

Fifty Dollars Reward.
R ANAWAY on Sunday the 15th inst. two young Negro Men: JACK, a very black fellow, about 22 years old, 5 feet 7 inches high, stout made, broad face, and a very short thick neck; had on and took with him, one ozanburg shirt, stuff coat, cotton do. nankin pantaloons, and a pair of white kersey do. and a wool hat. He has made some shoes in a very rough manner, and is ill-w at it.
PHILIP, about 20 years old, about 5 feet 7 inches high, stout made, very black, he has not a pleasant look, and when examined about any thing, he is apt to stare one in the face and speak short; he had on an ozanburg shirt, roughabout jacket, nankin pantaloons, and wool hat; the other part of their clothes I cannot describe. I have no doubt but they will change their clothes. They are brothers and will likely keep together if they can.
I will give the above reward for securing them in jail, for that I get them again, or 25 dollars for either of them, and reasonable charges if brought home.
