Liverpool, Sept. 13. —That part of the expedition which will be liberated by the abandonment of Zealand will, it is said, receive a new direction. Orders have been sent out to some of the out-ports for as many ships as could be got ready for sea in the course of three or four days, to be forwarded without a moment's loss of time. The orders to Sir R. Strachan apprised him that all the ships in the late expedition were to have their defects repaired immediately, and that they would be completed with stores and provisions for one month longer. The Hero, Revenge, Monarch, Resolution, Bellona, Illustrious, Alfred, Orion and Achille, (of the line), which arrived at Portsmouth from the expedition, are also ordered to be victualled for five months with all possible haste. Seventeen thousand of Mr. Congreve's rockets are ordered to be put on board the vessels composing the expedition.
We cannot but approve of this arrangement, if the object be important, and the force be committed to some effective commander. As no fear is entertained of Lord Wellington being able to effect his retreat to Lisbon if it be necessary, it does not appear that in the present suspense of the negotiations between Austria and France, it would be wise to send our troops to Spain. That great result must be awaited. If hostilities recommence, Spain is the proper theatre; but in the mean time something may probably be done to alleviate the mortification of the nation, and retrieve the character of the expedition. The French coast is, owing to a drain of troops towards Zealand, in a degree defenceless; so is also a part of the coast of Holland, and activity may yet strike a blow which the enemy may severely feel.
German papers to the 2d inst. have been received; but they bring no intelligence as to the negotiations. The brave Tyrolese are yet in arms, and, as appears even from the German papers are very formidable and resolute.
London, Sept. 11. —A Portuguese frigate arrived at Scilly in 33 days from Rio Janeiro, with dispatches, brings a report that a French frigate had arrived at Rio Janeiro to negotiate for peace.
We are sorry to learn that his Majesty's ship Agamemnon, of 64 guns was lost in the River Plate, on the 20th of June last.
The Gazette of Saturday contains copies and extracts of the dispatches from Spain of which we have already communicated the substance.
The perusal of Lord Wellington's letter must be very gratifying to the friends of the sick and wounded British abandoned at Talavera by the Spanish general; and the transaction is creditable, as well to our commander, who has used every exertion in order to alleviate the distress of these unfortunate men, as to the French marshal Mortier, from whom it appears that they have experienced so much attention as to render their situation, in the opinion of an assistant commissary who had been allowed to return, preferable to that of the French troops.
Lord Wellington's second letter includes a report from Sir R. Wilson, giving an account of his engagement with the French under marshal Ney, (not Soult, as had been before stated), in which he acknowledges himself to have been wounded, after a very spirited and judicious attempt to defend the pass of Banos, and thereby to prevent the passage of the French towards Salamanca. Sir Robert's conduct is spoken of in terms which we are convinced must be highly gratifying to that officer.
Of the third letter from Lord Wellington, which is dated from Truxillo, the 21st of August, an extract only is given in the Gazette.
It appears from this extract that from the causes which we have already stated, Lord Wellington was obliged to break up from Jaracejo, where he had his head quarters from the 11th to the 20th, and to fall back upon the French.
of Portugal, where he hoped to be supplied with every thing he might want.
This statement confirms most fully every thing we have advanced upon the subject of the retreat of the British army. It appears that the French marshals, finding it quite hopeless to proceed offensively against Lord Wellington, and probably finding it difficult to subsist their several corps while united, have separated into different parts of Spain. Victor and Mortier remain on the Tagus, and in La Mancha; Ney has retired to Salamanca, and Soult to Placencia. One of the most important facts in corroboration of our statement of the nature of the retrograde movement of the British, is the continuance of the head quarters for nine days at Jaracejo, between the bridge Arcobispo and Truxillo, with advanced posts on the Tagus, which must have been almost within shot of those of the French. We may here see the nature of the escape, which some affect to consider as so fortunate a circumstance!
It appears also, that Lord Wellington was retiring towards the frontiers of Portugal, and of course was getting nearer to the coast, he did not consider an embarkation as necessary "in a military point of point of view;" and even the Duke of Dalmatia will not aspire to the honor of driving Lord Wellington into the sea.
September 11. —Portuguese papers and letters arrived this morning to the 30th ult. The following is an extract of a private letter:
"The whole of our army has left Spain. Sir A. Wellesley has his head quarters at Elvas, from which place he will march to Abrantes. Gen. Beresford is at Castle Braven. They are said to have been obliged to retire for want of provisions. The French have retired towards Madrid."
The Earl of Chatham is not yet arrived, and it is reported that he is extremely indisposed at Middleburg.
It is with much concern we state, that all the accounts received from the Scheldt concur in stating that a great degree of sickness prevails among the British troops in that quarter, and some mortality.
A Gottenburg mail arrived last night with an account of a severely contested battle fought by the Swedes and Russians, near Umea, in West Bothnia, on the 10th ult. in which the former was defeated: but the opposition which the Russians experienced was so great, that, instead of attempting to advance, they retreated from that position which was occupied on the 24th by the Swedes. A private letter, received at Gottenburg on the 4th inst. states, that peace had been actually signed between Sweden and Russia, by which Russia was to retain Finland, and the isle of Aland, and the demand of shutting the Swedish ports against England was abandoned. A private letter dated Stockholm, the 30th ult. gives a still more favorable account of the military operations in the vicinity of Umea, than that published in the Gottenburg papers. It says, "The enemy has been forced to evacuate Umea: but I am sorry to say, that exploit has cost us dear. The loss of the Russians is, however, much greater."
GOTTENBURG MAIL. Gottenburg, Aug. 24. —A report has been spread to-day, which has gained some confidence, that the Prince Augustenburg had been arrested in Norway, and his party had taken up arms to support his cause.
STOCKHOLM, AUG. 24. His royal majesty has received the following report from gen. count Wachtmeister.
"Owing to the skilful arrangement and unwearied exertions of admiral baron Puke, the fleet sailed in 35 hours from Hemasand to Rua Road, where it came to anchor in the thick fog, which probably prevented it from being perceived by the enemy, which could not be done during the whole course of the passage, since the admiral adopted the measure of precaution of steering through the East Quarantain, the gun boats being in tow of the ships of war."
"At two o'clock this afternoon the troops were ordered to disembark. The van having been landed with the first brigade, my adjutant general, col. Legerbring, marched himself, with part of the said troops, to occupy Djknedoda, and another part marched under the orders of colonel Baron Fleetwood, in the direction of Bygdea—"
I have this moment received the report that Djknedoda has been taken. Captain Anderson, who commanded the first division of chasseurs, was wounded. I intend as soon as possible, to push against Umea, and shall feel extremely happy in being able to report to your majesty the reduction of that important place."
"G. WACHTMEISTER. Commander in chief of the army of the coast."
"HEAD QUARTERS, Ratan, August 17, 1809."
Aug. 25. —Under date of the 29th of July, Captain Wahlstedt, of the royal navy, who commands the armed ship Neptune, has reported, that on the 26th of July, at nine o'clock in the morning, he got a pilot on board, who brought him intelligence that the convoy must come to anchor off Pohl, since the communication with Swedish ships was not yet permitted. At 11 o'clock they dropped anchor. Captain Wahlstedt immediately proceeded to Wismar with a flag of truce, went to the Governor and enquired the reason why the convoy was not permitted to sail up to the town. The governor answered, that he had orders not to permit any ship laden with Swedish produce to enter the port, but told him at the same time that the duke of Mecklenburgh, who was acquainted with the arrival of the convoy, wished to speak with the commander of the convoy, and see his orders. The capt. immediately waited on his highness and produced his orders, and a return of the ships under his convoy, and their cargoes. The duke told him, that however painful it proved to him to let the convoy go back, especially as he found that the greatest part of the cargo belonged to his own subjects, yet he could not allow the ships to unload, without the French emperor, having granted the necessary leave for that purpose, which could not be obtained within less than six weeks, but that his highness should be glad if the captain would proceed to Hamburg, and endeavor to obtain from the French minister, residing there, leave for the convoy to unload in Wismar. The captain determined to go to Hamburg, and from thence to Travemunde, where he found the French minister; and this measure succeeded so well, that the minister sent orders to Wismar and Rostock, that all Swedish Pomeranian, and neutral ships, laden with Swedish produce, and furnished with the authentic certificates, should be allowed to unload and land in the above port.
London, Sept. 8. It is gratifying to learn that Cuesta has been dismissed from the chief command, which is said to have been conferred on the gallant and persevering Blake. This measure has been adopted, we fear, too late to produce any material advantages. Lord Wellington is stated to have expressed his conviction, that no reasonable hopes of success can be entertained from the co-operation of the Spanish levies, who are ill supplied, wretchedly disciplined, and destitute of able officers. He also complains of the negligence of the junta in preparing and sending necessary supplies and provisions to the British army. The total force of the French in Spain is ascertained to be little short of 100,000 men. We shall not be surprised to learn the determination of his majesty's ministers to withdraw the whole of our army from Spain and Portugal. The last dispatches from marquis Wellesley do not, we understand, hesitate to recommend the evacuation of both countries. The Supreme Junta is a deliberative body, & a deliberative body only. It was known at Lisbon on the 22d, that maj. gen. Lightburne and brig. gen. Craufurd, who advanced with their corps in the direction of Ciudad Rodrigo, were on their march back to Lisbon.
It is reported that his Sicilian majesty will have a monarchy assigned him in New-Spain, under the protection of this country, in case all attempts to restore Ferdinand to liberty and to his nation shall fail. The reason circulated for this intended establishment is, that he is the next heir to the crown of Spain at present in the enjoyment of personal liberty, and one more likely to be well received by the trans-Atlantic Spaniards, than any other personage in Europe.
September 13. German papers to the 21st inst. have been received; but they bring no intelligence as to the negotiations. A
private letter from Vienna of the same date, (September 2) mentions that the preparations for war which ceased on the conclusion of the armistice had suddenly been resumed in that capital with greater activity than before. The length to which the negotiations have been drawn out is stated by former accounts to have been occasioned as well by the jealousies of Russia as the firmness of the emperor Francis. The claims of Napoleon to Austrian Galicia are said to be unpleasing to the autocrat of Russia. Advices have been received by the duke of Brunswick that the Prussian troops have recently been ordered into encampments; but the objects of this movement is not obvious. The brave Tyrolese are yet in arms, and, as appears even from the German papers, are very formidable and resolute.
September 15. The service of plate which the government presented to Lord Chatham, commander in chief of the expedition, is the most complete and magnificent that was ever given. There are, among other things, 18 chandeliers of five branches. It cannot be denied, but that the noble lord is the most enlightened officer in the whole army.
An officer of the staff of our army in Spain, writes from Truxillo on the 22d August as follows:
"The war in Spain is nearly terminated—the Spaniards are savages full of superstition and fanaticism; there is nothing to hope from them. We can by no means rely upon them—Cuesta has been deposed, but too late. The general opinion is, that we shall be in England before two months—all the military stores are sent back to Lisbon—the French have 90,000 men, and we have no more than 25,000—we are in want of every thing—whether it be negligence or treason on the part of the Spanish commissaries, we have found nothing in a country where we expected to find abundance, we have not even carriages and mules to transport our sick and wounded. I am of opinion that all this will cure our ministers of the mania of sending expeditions to Spain. There is not an officer or soldier in the army who does not wish speedily to return from hence. The French do not at all molest us in our retreat. In a few days we shall be in Portugal. This fruitless expedition will have cost our government immense sums. Every thing is frightfully dear, hay costs here 24 pence a pound, and we give 10 pounds of it per day to each horse."
September 19. The wheat harvest being now concluded, the following may be considered as an impartial estimate of the produce: Wheat on the strong lands short in quantity, but good in quality. On the light and cold lands a fair crop as to produce, but much infected with the smut. Some strong lands, which last year produced 4 quarters an acre, do not this year average more than 3; but with respect to weight, the quality is considerably better than that of last year. On the whole, from the various accounts, the produce may be estimated at about an eighth short of what is termed an average crop at 3 quarters an acre. The quality is however generally so superior, the deficiency of the quantity may probably be obviated, so as to raise the produce of nutriment equal to that of last year.
London, September 20. BUENOS AYRES. (Extract of a letter.)
"A new viceroy has arrived at Buenos Ayres, to succeed gen. Liniers, who has retired to Mendoza, a town about 900 miles up the country. Gen. Liniers had orders from the Supreme Junta to repair to Spain, to answer charges brought against him by Gen. Elio, Governor of Monte Video; but on resigning his office, he insisted on not going to that country till its situation was in a more settled state than at present."
"All the Creoles, or natives of the country, are wholly in favor of Gen. Liniers; he has disbanded the different regiments from Old Spain, and taken the natives in their room, which caused much jealousy on the part of the Old Spaniards, who taking advantage of the circumstance alleged of his being greatly ruled in his conduct by a well known lady of French extraction, contrived to raise a strong party against him."
"This lady, on the news of the new vice king's arrival, and dreading insult from the public, thought proper to take her passage on board the Eng-
lish gun brig, Steady, for Rio de Janeiro, accompanied by the rest of her family; it is said that she has taken the whole of her property with her."
"The new vice king has been invested with more absolute authority than any of his predecessors; he has even got the power of life and death in his own hands."
"On an application from the British merchants at Monte Video, to know in what manner commerce shall in future be carried on, he has positively declared that he has been commanded to put a stop to all smuggling in the River Plate; in consequence of which the coast is doubly guarded, and all business is at a stand there as well as on the opposite coast."
"A new Governor has also arrived for Monte Video, and Gen. Elio was appointed commandant of the troops at Buenos Ayres, but, on account of their dislike towards him he has been continued by the Vice Roy in his situation of governor, and the other has got the command of the forces at Buenos Ayres."
September 21. It was pretty generally expected that at the levee of yesterday, some persons would have kissed hands on appointment to office, but no such event took place.
That there are serious differences among our leading men is admitted on all hands. Changes are resolved on, but they are not agreed as to the new arrangement.
It has been for some time apparent, that the duke of Portland must retire owing to infirmities; and we have reason to believe that at one time it was intended that the earl of Chatham should be his successor. The expedition to the Scheldt, it was expected would have been attended with happier consequences than have resulted from it, and therefore, to insure a stock of popularity for his lordship, before inducting him into office, he was appointed to the command of that expedition. Its issue certainly had the effect to derange the plan then in contemplation.
To notice every report would be endless, but we must state the leading rumors—premisising however, that it is difficult to get at the precise truth, all the statements in circulation being more or less tinted with the spirit of family parties.
Mr. Perceval and Mr. Canning are reported to have both aimed at the office of Premier; and of course to have exhibited symptoms of jealousy. In proof of this it has been remarked, that Mr. Perceval in coming to, and Mr. Canning in going from, the levee yesterday, met each other, and passed without the usual interchanges of civility, or even taking notice of each other.
September 21. —The following is a minute of a decree lately passed by the Dutch government, partially raising the embargo which subsisted before in the ports of Holland:—
"The embargo is hereby raised, as far as respects vessels laden with permitted articles, provisions excepted."
"The vessels shall not, however, be permitted to proceed to sea until further orders, except by the Texel, and other ports further North; and not then till the same shall have been placed several days under close arrest, so as to cut off all communication with the shore, prior to their being allowed to sail."
"They may also proceed to sea from the Maise, where armed vessels are stationed; and the same regulations to be observed relative to the placing of the vessels under close arrest for some days prior to their putting to sea. Sept. 7, 1809."
Some communications have been received from the Portuguese settlements in South America. A letter from Bahia, of the 28th of July, exposes the total neglect of that settlement since the establishment of the court of Braganza in the Western World. A circumstance which promised so much benefit to the vast empire of the Brazils, has performed nothing. Trade was in that situation not only languishing, but expiring. The following extract will show the melancholy situation of affairs, even in the seat of the Portuguese government:—
"Rio Janeiro, July 28. "I am sorry to inform you, that a serious misunderstanding took place here on the 24th of June, in consequence of an order issued by the go-

ment, to draft ten men from every hundred of the militia, to be incorporated among the regulars. In these provinces the militia is three times as numerous as the troops of the line. The colonels and superior officers of the different regiments of militia formed a body, and went to the palace, with a view of remonstrating with the governor; but not finding their complaints heard, or their grievances redressed, they resigned their commissions. The next morning an order was given out for the militia to appear in the grand square of the city, before the palace, unarmed; but the officers having suspicions of the intention of the Governor to seize the men, to have been drafted by force, went with a considerable body of the militia to the palace, and expressed their determination not to comply with the Governor's orders. The government dreading the consequence, immediately issued an order countermanding all their previous resolutions. The necessities of life become every day more exorbitantly dear, in consequence of the monopoly."
October 6. —We believe that the armistice has been prolonged: though we can find no official avowal of it in the French papers. It is mentioned in an article from Vienna, which adds a rumor that its duration was to be to the 30th of October. The Emperor of Austria, advertising to this event, says in his general orders, that "his assent is to be attributed, not to a sense of feebleness, but to his affection for his subjects, and his anxiety to avert from them the calamities of war."
The armistice is alluded to in two other articles in the foreign papers—one says that "it has been concluded for the period of one month, upon condition, that should peace not take place within that term, hostilities shall not commence until a month after the expiration of the armistice."
but the expectation of the renewal of hostilities gains ground. The Austrian government are making extraordinary efforts—Besides the landwehr, or militia, there is to be a levy en masse throughout the Austrian territories.
Corn Exchange, October 6. —Although but a short supply of Wheat to day, waiting the expected arrivals, few sales are made and those cheaper; good Red about 100s. per quarter; Barley and Malt are lower; White Peas and Beans of the two kind likewise; fine American flour from 53s. to 62s. per barrel; Flour hardly keeps its price, and expected cheaper.—There are tolerable supplies of Oats, and the sales in general are also quoted rather lower.
October 6. —We know of no farther Ministerial arrangements having been settled. We trust and believe however that no time will be lost. The interests of the country imperiously require it. His Majesty will not come to town again before next Wednesday, but it is probable that Mr. Perceval will wait upon his Majesty before that time at Windsor.—Meanwhile the Grenvilles assure us that "nothing can exceed the courtship and caressings that are now going forward; and that applications have been made to men of all parties and of all opinions to join the Ministers. And supposing this statement to be correct, how does it reflect upon the Ministers? They were anxious to form an extended Administration.—They made overtures to Lord Grenville—Lord Grenville will not come in with men, who have thought it right not to press the King's conscience upon a subject on which his majesty's principles are known to be unalterable. They are forced, therefore to look to other men, and not desiring the interest of party to be paramount to the interests of the country, they are willing to sacrifice the former in order that they may consult the interests of the latter. They wish to prevail upon men of talents & of patriotism to join the Administration, without too nicely considering what party they may belong to."
Amsterdam, September 9. —We had this pleasure on the 26th ult. per Montezuma, Davis, bound for Baltimore, to which we crave your reference, and have now to inform you, that all American vessels arrived anterior to 31st July, have unloaded, but all those arrived posterior, must put to sea with their cargoes, which unfortunately consist of prohibited articles. As mentioned in our former letters no vessels from the United States will in future be admitted, except such as are laden with one of the following articles, viz. Tobacco, Whale Oil, Oranges, Ashes and Staves.
You see that colonial produce is entirely prohibited. The embargo laid in our ports in consequence of the invasion by the British, was taken off yesterday. Were it not for the English orders in council, the American vessels would have taken return cargoes, but they are now obliged to depart in ballast. Unless new arrangements between the United States and England have replaced those Mr. Er-
skine made, it is not presumable to expect any vessels will have cleared out of your ports since the 20th July—the major part that were bound here, have gone to Tonnigen, where they have discharged without difficulty, that port being however but a poor market, the cargoes will have been transported to Hamburg for sale, which will prove very expensive. It was expected some of these cargoes would have come on here over land, but this will be impracticable in consequence of the treble line of French custom house officers stationed round our frontiers. This restraint has put an end to all expeditions by land to Germany, so that the only demand for colonial produce, is for home consumption.—Coffee, sugar, cotton, rice, dye-stuffs, pepper and pimento are almost without any stir, and prices merely nominal. Tobacco has been stationary for some days past, but keeps up in price.
Mr Armstrong was here a short time since, and had an audience of our king, who assured him in positive terms, that American property would be respected in his kingdom; it does not appear it will be the case in the French empire, since all the American vessels that are sent into France are made prizes of.—The late French decree, prohibiting the importation into France of produce of whatever kind from hence, was intended to prevent any thing entering France that was imported into this country by Americans—this is next to open hostilities with the United States. We cannot dwell upon politics, but we do not see any likelihood that peace will take place between Austria and France, and England you may rely will never make peace with France.
Plushing, Sept. 6. —Nothing is here worthy of communication, for indeed nothing is now talked of in our streets but the deplorable state of our garrison & of the whole army, from the dreadful progress of a malignant fever. The average yesterday was that there were 2000 men in the various hospitals and the deaths are now so frequent, that it has been given out in orders to discontinue the usual military honors at the funerals of soldiers. On Sunday I was in Middlesex, and saw 13 officers of the 68th regiment lying in a waggon, all suffering under this malignant disease.—Generals Graham, marquis Huntley and Picton, have departed for England: the latter officer, with his whole staff, was obliged to be carried down to the wharf in order to embark. There are regiments here under orders to proceed home, but are detained for the want of transports. In the 36th regt. there is not a non-commissioned officer able to do duty; and amongst all the regiments here they can scarcely muster 35 men to a company. It is indescribable what are our sufferings, & fears from the progress of the disease; and the least timid apprehend that a more malignant fever will be generated from the filth and contagion which are spreading in every direction. Blue Peter is flying, I therefore must conclude. It is the universal wish of every officer to proceed as quickly as possible for England. As all the generals are hurrying home, the command of this garrison has now fallen to col. Hay, of the Royals; but I understand brigadier gen. Montresor is hourly expected."
Badajoz, Aug. 31. —The following Royal Order, directed to his Excellency the Marquis de la Romana, has been transmitted to him by Don Martin Garray:—
"In the midst of the great cares and attentions which the Supreme Governing Junta of the Kingdom has taken to follow with activity and firmness the defence of the country it has never lost sight of the salutary reforms which the nation earnestly expects, which its actual situation requires and which must be the foundation of its future prosperity—One of the greatest objects which now claim its attention, and which ought to occupy it with the greatest activity, is the convocation of the Cortes, the most important object which can or ought to employ the Supreme Junta.—The more important this object is, the more necessary are the knowledge, the observations, & the experience, of those who compose that assembly; & as in a discussion of such magnitude, it will be expected by the nation that all should concur, his Majesty has been pleased to grant that all the Deputies shall give their assistance. It will therefore be necessary, in consequence of this sovereign and general determination, that the Marquis de la Romana separate himself from his troops and come to this city, to exercise the functions of Representative of the National Body, though it is certainly most difficult to place at their head a Chief of equal experience and achievements. Considering, however, the state of the Kingdom of Galicia, and the principality of Asturias, the Junta, after mature deliberation, has determined that the Marquis shall transfer his command to that General
of his army whom he shall judge most capable."
"I communicate to your Excellency the order of his Majesty, for its fulfilment, advising at the same time that the command of the army cannot, with propriety, be transferred to the Major General de Condi de Noronha, because he being second commandant General in Galicia ought always to remain in that kingdom."
In consequence of this Royal Order the Marquis de la Romana has signified that he has confided the command of the army to the Major Gen Don Gabriel de Mendezabal, and that of the kingdom to the Conde di Noronha, Second Commandant General and President of its Royal Audience.
September 9. —On the 3d instant, his excellency the Marquis de Romana arrived at Ciudad Rodrigo, on his way to Seville. His army is advancing to Zamora, and a part of it is expected at Ciudad Rodrigo.
Madrid, September 6. —Don Joseph Napoleon, &c.
We have decreed, and do decree as follows:—
Art. 1. Don Benito Pardo de Figueroa, field marshal in our royal armies, is confirmed as minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary near his imperial majesty the emperor of all the Russias.
Art. 2. The Count de Yoldi, minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary near his majesty the king of Denmark, is confirmed in that capacity.
Art. 3. Don Raphael d'Urquijo, secretary of our legation, near his majesty the king of Prussia, and now charge d'affairs at that court, is confirmed in that capacity.
Vienna, August 27. —Desertion from the Austrian army is very considerable. Every day 100, 150, or 200 deserters repair to our advanced posts. Discouragement seems to prevail throughout this army. It is occupied during the armistice in marches and countermarches, which exhaust it with useless fatigues. It had been ten days going from the frontiers of Bohemia to Hungary, and it is now on its return from Hungary to Bohemia. While the Austrian soldiers are exercised to so little purpose, the French remain encamped as on the day following the armistice. The Archduke Charles, whom intrigues have driven from the command of the army, has retired to Teschen, in the Duke Albert's dominions. His post was at first supplied by Prince John of Lichtenstein, who was under the orders of the Emperor Francis himself. He has been since replaced by general Bellegarde, who has resigned the command once more to him.
September 9. —The public papers have given a proclamation of the emperor of Austria to his subjects, to assure them that he will make all possible sacrifices in order to procure the return of peace.
The Archduke Charles departed, it is said, very suddenly from Feschen, to go to Lower Hungary.
The Austrian army which had begun to spread itself in the plains of Comorn and Papay, has fallen back within a short time, towards Moravia and Bohemia. This movement has occasioned a similar one in the French army, which has returned to its cantonments on the line of demarcation. However, these marches and countermarches can alarm only weak minds, who, notwithstanding the evidence of facts, cannot accustom themselves to the invincible preponderance of the great genius who presides over the destinies of Europe. Men of sense, on the contrary, are persuaded that the Emperor of Austria, in the present circumstances, is less able than ever to renew the contest, and that a single symptom of hostility on his part, would be the signal of his absolute ruin.—Be that as it may, the negotiations continue at Altenburgh. Every day M. de Champagny and M. de Metternich dispatch couriers to their respective courts. The Emperor of Austria is still at Comorn, with the Archduke John, vice generalissimo, the Archduke Palatine, the counts of Bellegarde and de Duca.
The Emperor Napoleon has just made a little journey to Krems. His imperial majesty returned yesterday.
M. de Budna, aid-de-camp of the Emperor of Austria, arrived yesterday at Schoenbrunn. A new prolongation of the armistice is spoken of; it is very certain that the Austrian army is by no means disposed to renew the war; & all the travellers from Hungary and Moravia agree on that point.
The Emperor of Austria has entrusted the direction of interior affairs to his brother the Archduke Regnier. He reserves to himself the superintendence of military affairs only.
September 10. —The following are the particulars of the tour which his majesty the emperor has made for some days past in Hungary. His majesty left Schoenbrunn on the 31st, at 2 o'clock in the morning, and arrived at an early hour at Presburg, the en-
virons of which he observed for the space of three hours; he then breakfasted at Ritsec, and immediately went to Altenburgh, where the plenipotentiaries charged to negotiate a peace waited upon his majesty. From Altenburgh the emperor went to Raab, where he reviewed the troops, and gave orders to improve the fortifications which are erecting there.—The day following, on his return to Schoenbrunn, his majesty spent several hours in inspecting the troops stationed at Haimbourg and its vicinity; and returned to Schoenbrunn at three in the afternoon.
Hamburg, Sept. 8. —It is remarked with pleasure at Tonnigen and its vicinity, that the commerce of that city is beginning to revive. About 50 American vessels have arrived, the greater part of which have cargoes valued at 100,000 rix dollars. In consequence transportations by land are very frequent, and recall to mind more prosperous times. The ton of rye brings now three rix dollars and one marc, and that of wheat from four to five rix dollars. As the harvest is very fine, and the magazines are full, we may expect that the price of grain will fall still lower.
Augsburg, Sept. 11. —There arrived here the day before yesterday from Strasburg, 900 Poles, who were made prisoners by the French in the present war, and who have just entered into the service of France. They all still wear the uniform of the different Austrian regiments to which they were formerly incorporated. They will remain in our city until they are provided with other uniforms, and are sufficiently instructed in the French exercise. We expect to day a second detachment of 600 more.
Dresden, Sept. 5. —Yesterday the troops occupied the camp formed near our city. General Carra St. Cyr set out to day for Misnia, for the purpose of inspecting the recruits newly enlisted.
Copenhagen, Sept. 5. —It is still asserted that peace between Denmark and Sweden is on the point of being signed.
Augsburg, Sept. 15. —The Russian Ambassador has arrived at Munich—they write from Bohemia, that the most robust of the landwehr are forced to enter the troops of the line, and that they are organizing a species of insurrection, composed of every person capable of bearing arms, this insurrection is to be called Landsturm.
"What the calm valor of our defenders could not effect, the rapid insurrection will perform" (says the Prague Gazette); but all the articles of that paper notwithstanding, it is evident that there is an extreme discontent in Bohemia. It is generally known that the Hungarians shew no ardor for the continuation of the war, and that the best of the Austrian generals despair of being able in future to oppose an efficacious resistance to the French army.
Stralsund, Sept. 9. —Sweden has proposed the town of Jonkoping for the conferences between the Danish and Swedish plenipotentiaries.
It is reported that a bloody action has taken place at Lemeo between the Russians and Swedes—we must wait for the official confirmation of it.
Hanover, Sept. 10. —The Swedish Ambassador on his way to Paris, passed through this place yesterday about noon.
His majesty the king of Westphalia has not yet arrived; his guards are now in our city. They were reviewed yesterday.
Passau, Sept. 8. —Ten thousand soldiers and countrymen are working at the fortifications. The forts which surround our place are furnished with heavy artillery. It is a circumstance hitherto unheard of, that in the space of four months, so important a fortress should have been constructed. Passau is now the key of the Danube. Major General Count Manuzzi has his head quarters here. The 13th regiment of Bavarian infantry is encamped before the town;—we have here and in the neighborhood several depots of French cavalry.
Lintz, Sept. 17. —The last accounts from Vienna bring nothing certain relative to the negotiation for peace. According to some, a Russian Plenipotentiary was expected to take an active part in the negotiations, in order to regulate in future the relations between Russia, France, Austria, and the States of the Confederation of the Rhine. Nothing is, however, publicly known concerning the progress of the negotiations.
We learn from Hungary that the different Austrian corps which were stationed between Kaschau and Neuhäusel, have, within these few days broken, up & approached nearer to the Danube. A strong column has even passed that river, in order to extend itself along the Raab, and thus cover the fortress of Comorn. The corps of the Archduke Palatine is the only one which remains in its former position, near Neuhäusel.
Semlin, Aug. 8. —We are informed that the English Minister, Mr. Adair has addressed to the Reis Effendi several demands on the part of his Court, which have been communicated to an extraordinary Divan, in which the Grand Seigneur has presided.
Silence is observed with respect to the nature of the propositions made by this Minister; but it is believed that they are supported by threats, which seem to have produced a great sensation, and which, it is said, are made to compromise the honor of the Ottoman Porte.
Prague, Aug. 15. —Nothing has yet occurred which would enable us to decide touching peace or war. Negotiations for peace, it is true, are carrying on with the greatest activity; but in the mean time preparations are making on both sides, with increased energy, for the renewal of hostilities. The Austrians recruit incessantly, since the conclusion of the armistice, in those provinces which are not occupied by the French army. Gen. Duca has been named by the Emperor quarter-master general of the staff; meanwhile he occupied the same post which the baron de Wimpfen had occupied near the Archduke Charles. He conducts, under the immediate direction of the monarch, all the military operations, and has been for several weeks at the head quarters of the Emperor at Comorn. The Archduke Ferdinand is with his corps of the army in Bohemia and Moravia; he has his head quarters at Olmutz.
Amongst the points which are to serve for the basis of a treaty of peace, it is in agitation, they say, to transfer the kingdom of Bohemia to the Grand Duke of Salsburg, eldest brother of the Emperor of Austria. The armistice has been prolonged eighteen days.
Stockholm, September 14. —His royal majesty has received intelligence, by reports made on the first and second of this month, by Admiral Baron Puke and lieut. gen. Count Wachmeister, that the latter, on the 28th of last month, made good a descent near Rata, with a corps of 1500 men, with which he arrived the following day at Unea, where he occupies a position. The remainder of the army of the coast arrived at Unea.
It appears by authentic intelligence received from different quarters, that Gen. Kamensky, with his retreating army, reached Skelleftea on the 29th ultimo, from whence he pursued his march to Pitea.
Count Essen and Baron Lagerhjelm, who, by his majesty's command, are going to Paris on a particular mission, have informed his majesty, that they set sail from Ystad on the 25th ult. in the evening, reached Stralsund on the 27th, at noon, and intended to proceed on the 29th on their journey to the French capital.
Gen. Count Wachmeister, commander in chief of our army on the coast, has sent a report to his majesty, bearing date the 26th ult. by which it appears, that on the 17th, 19th and 20th ult. our army was engaged with the enemy near Djekneboda, Salvar, and Ratan. Our troops behaved with the utmost gallantry in all these engagements, but sustained very considerable loss, and were at length compelled by the enemy's vast superiority of numbers to re-embark.
Of the state of our negotiations for peace, nothing transpires; but we hope that we shall soon be at peace, not only with Russia, but also with Denmark.
Paris, August 30. —The English commander in Spain having been obliged on his retreat, to leave a great number of wounded at Talavera, wrote the following letter to the general in chief of the French army.
"Sir, The fate of war has placed in your hands a number of English officers & soldiers. They are brave, and merit the attention and regard of those by whom courage is valued. I have the honor to recommend them to you, and to request that you will permit me to send to Talavera, for the purpose of taking care of them, some officers, who shall not be considered prisoners of war, but be permitted to return when the wounded have somewhat recovered."
"I also request your permission to transmit to the wounded officers small sums of money, of which they must be very much in want."
"It is in the name of humanity I address these requests to you, and I have even a right to make them, since I have always paid particular attention to the French soldiers whom the chance of war has rendered my prisoners, and have even supplied the officers with money."
I have the honor to be, &c. "ARTHUR WELLESLEY."
ANSWER Of the Duke of Treviso, Marshal Mortier.
"Hend-Quarters, August 10. "Sir, I have received the open letter

addressed by you to the commander in chief, and requesting his attention to the sick and wounded whom you have been under the necessity of leaving behind you. They are treated as our sick and wounded are, and I have studied to give all possible assistance to those that have fallen into my hands. These, general, are debts which two brave nations owe to each other.
"I shall forward your letter to the commander in chief, who alone can answer your request to send officers to Talavera, until the sick and wounded are somewhat recovered. In the mean time I shall do myself the pleasure to supply them with what money they may want."
I have the honor to be, &c. "The Marshal Duke of Trevise."
Paris, August 31.—By an Imperial decree, dated at Schönbrunn 15th Aug. his Majesty has ordered, that, to give a durable evidence of the satisfaction with which he has seen and approved the conduct of the Grand Army, and the French nation in general, during the campaigns of Jena and the Vistula, there shall be raised on the plateau of the Pont Neuf an obelisk, 180 feet high, of the granite of Cherbourg, with this inscription, "The Emperor Napoleon to the French People." The front of this monument, which shall be finished by the year 1814, shall represent those acts of the army which during these two campaigns have rendered France illustrious.
WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8.
The interesting complexion of foreign details induces us to give them in this number an almost exclusive attention. They are in general too plain to require comment. Every effort made by England on the continent has proved abortive, indeed worse than abortive, so far as regards any advantages to herself or her allies. Notwithstanding the boasted magnitude and promptness and energy of her measures, they have only served to evince the futility of her interference on the continent. So far from her arms having been crowned with success in a solitary instance, it is to be feared that the only effect produced will be to extend the conquests of her enemy and to increase the burthens of her allies. In abandoning the fortunes of Spain it remains to be seen with what catastrophe this awful drama will be closed. Already, we are told, in some of the English prints that Cadiz or Cuba, or both, are claimed as an indemnity. But we will not give credit to this foul imputation, until it shall be verified by events. We trust, for the honor of human nature, that such a demand neither has been or will be made, a demand which would surely imply a total want of magnanimity and justice. One effect, at which any nation but England would be appalled, has flowed from her recent measures. Near a hundred millions of dollars have been added to a debt, which previously exceeded two thousand millions.
We have received a file of London prints to the 6th of October, from which we have extracted several interesting items of news. A number of literary articles remain to be noticed.
We republished, some time since, as from the Commonwealth, an interesting article entitled "A cursory view of the principal manufactures in and adjacent to Pittsburg." We are desired to state that this article originally appeared in Cramer's Magazine Almanac for 1810, from which work it was transplanted into the Commonwealth.
The late obstructions to commerce have, it is well known, deprived many Southern planters of a market for their cotton. The large crops of that article remaining on hand render it improbable, if similar crops are raised in the next season, that advantageous prices will be obtained for it. Many planters have therefore been induced to turn their attention to a substitute for their former staple production. Hemp is the article which, it is expected, will be most extensively cultivated, as it is deemed congenial to the soil of many parts of the Southern states. Many contemplate employing large tracts of land in the cultivation of the ground nut, a plant peculiar to the Southern states, and which affords a handsome profit to the grower. Many intelligent citizens also have turned their attention to the pasturage of sheep, which they have been heretofore prevented from doing by the superior profit derived from employing their whole capital in the culture of cotton.
The Governor of Nova Scotia has prohibited the exportation of Gunpowder, arms & ammunition, or salt pots,
except for the king of England's use, for six months from the 20th of October.

TERRITORY OF MICHIGAN. CITY OF DETROIT, October 10, 1809.
At an assembly of citizens of the U. States of America, residing in the Territory of Michigan at the Hotel of Richard Smyth, in the City of Detroit, convened this day, pursuant to public notice, for the purpose of considering the propriety of entering into a second grade of government.
The honorable Augustus B. Woodward, Chief Justice of this Territory, was unanimously elected President of the assembly, and George Hoffman, Esq. Secretary.
Resolved, As the opinion of this meeting, that, on account of the many imperfections which exist in the present form of the government of this territory, which imperfections experience has abundantly pointed out, it is expedient and necessary that a different form of government should be established by law.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to examine the forms of the different territorial governments, with instructions to report to another assembly of the citizens to be held at this place on Monday next, and that Judge Woodward, George Hoffman, James Henry, Solomon Sibley and James May, be the said committee.
And then the assembly adjourned to Monday next, at ten of the clock in the forenoon, to meet, at the same place.

Yesterday the subscription books for the stock of the Union Bank of this town, were opened at Mr. Crawford's. At four o'clock they were closed for that day, when, we are happy to learn two thousand shares were subscribed, more than the proportion of the stock allotted to this place; so that there must be a deduction, if the shares allotted to other places are all taken up. It is pleasing to the contemplative mind, and an earnest of the future prosperity of this district, to see the mounted men of this place come forward so liberally, to support an institution which promises to be of so much benefit to the town and the surrounding country.
Mr. John Wormley, of Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, planted two Pumpkin seeds, which produced 12 pumpkins, the weight of which were as follows, 1st, 108 pounds; 2d, 100; 3d, 97; 4th, 95; 5th, 90; 6th, 88; 9th, 80; 10th, 75; 11th, 66; 12th, 65—Total 1002lbs.
But if Pennsylvania is bearing away the palm from New England with respect to Pumpkins, the latter may challenge competition from the former in regard to Corn—as the following article will evince.
Seth Hall, of Fairfield, Connecticut acquaints the readers of the Bridgeport Advertiser, that he has now in his possession, a single stalk of Indian Corn, which grew in his field this season, with 51 ears upon it, which will be shown to any one who may doubt it.

Wilmington, (Del.) Nov. 4.
With painful regret we announce the death of SAMUEL WHITE, Esq. He died at his lodgings this morning. Mr. White has for several years past represented this State in the Senate of the U. S.—where his talents were known to be respectable, and his integrity unblemished. In the circle of his acquaintance, which was very extensive, his loss will be severely felt, and deeply regretted; and his virtues in private life will be long cherished in grateful remembrance. His probity of conduct, urbanity of manners, and manly deportment, justly entitled him to the rank of a worthy citizen and an accomplished gentleman.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4.
The Spanish Government schooner, Junta of Seville, arrived at this port yesterday, with money and dispatches for the Spanish minister, Chevalier Onis.
She sailed in company with the St. Ramon and St. Leandro, of 98 guns each, carrying fourteen millions of dollars in specie, for the government, and loaded with Cochineal and Indigo, on public and private account. They convoyed the schooner to the American coast and thence proceeded on their voyage to Cadiz.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated October 7.—"The demand for
American produce has of late been very slack, owing chiefly to the expected changes in our administration, which, however, are not likely to comprehend any charge of measures; and, upon the whole, we are decidedly of opinion that America will not very soon be in fashion at Court."
"We annex our commercial currency, which, for nearly all articles except flour and grain, is nominal at present."
"Under the best views we can now take of our political and commercial relations, we expect a brisk market at advancing prices."
From the Public Advertiser.
BRITISH MINISTRY.
After commencing upon the various and transcendent qualifications of the persons who are designated to replace the members of the ministry who have obtained leave to resign, the editor of the Globe observes: That in this manner, is a ministry to be botched up out of the old materials, without a particle of new principle, sentiment, interest, or connection. It is a mere change of corners, and metamorphosis of persons; with this single difference, that, whatever brains were in the late ministry have been knocked out; and it no longer possesses that restless spirit, which, however mischievous, gave it some character for busle and activity. If the subject were not too serious to be treated with levity, those who possess a talent for ridicule might indulge it with effect, in holding up to derision the conduct of the Treasury Journals. They regret the awkward circumstance, "the unpleasant affair," which has led to a schism in the Cabinet, for such is their definition of the most atrocious insult ever offered by ministers to their Sovereign and their country. They lament the loss of the "transcendent talents" of Mr. Canning; and as to a competent successor to lord Castlereagh—a man possessing his habits and capacity for business—that is a treasure not to be looked for. Now, it would be natural to expect, that, with this conviction, they would lament also the reduced and enfeebled state of the remnant of office—both; although the two eyes of the cabinet have been put out, and these two transcendent stars "have shot their fires, and empty left their orbs," the remainder is more luminous, more perfect and efficient, than the whole original system. It is like the Sybil's set of three volumes, which became more valuable after two of them had been burned. In evidence of this extraordinary position, we are told that we may now expect "more unanimity of sentiment, and cordial co-operation in the business of government;" that it "is impossible to reflect upon the constitution of an administration where the component parts are influenced by separate views, and convulsed by particular interests, without being alarmed at the injury the public service might in such case be liable to sustain;" that "their talents, probity, and experience, however eminent and conspicuous, become lost to the community, and it were far more disadvantageous to have an Executive who possessed those qualities in an inferior degree, if they but evince more cordiality and union of action;" and that "we may now be permitted to indulge the fond hope that this result, which can alone procure to government respect abroad and confidence at home, will be secured by the new arrangement." The sum of all which is, that we had lately a stork, and that we are now to have a log, for a ministry. And to crown all, the public are gravely assured, that as to the late expedition to the Scheldt, "the blame of failure rests neither with the late war minister, nor the commander in chief." Like Johnny Macrea's dramatic genius, which neither lay in comedy nor tragedy, there is no blame any where. This, however, is only apparent nonsense. It has a meaning, and a wicked one. The fact is, as has been justly observed, we are to have a Walcheren administration, a Scheldt Cabinet; and this is a puff of flattery offered to the new shrine.
A letter from Naples, dated the 9th of Sept. gives the following account of the state of Mount Vesuvius:
"After a few days of tranquillity, the eruptions of Vesuvius recommenced. On the 4th of September, a new crater opened to the South East, much larger than that which was formed in 1807. This mouth has since that time constantly vomited a vast torrent of lava, which takes its direction towards the town of Della Torre, which was formerly destroyed by an eruption of the volcano. This torrent divides in two branches, and forms an island, at the extremity of which the lava unites, and produces a lake of fire in the district of Alto del Cavallo. No damage has yet taken place; and there is nothing to be feared, unless the torrent should change its direction or
became more impetuous. In the night of the 5th, as in the month of August, 1782, Vesuvius vomited an immense quantity of ashes, stones, and smoke, forming upon the mountain a second mountain, the summit of which appeared to rise to the skies; but these substances receiving an impulsion absolutely perpendicular, have fallen into the crater, or its neighborhood, but have not done any injury either to the inhabitants or the houses nearest the eruption. Several people have departed from the town to observe more closely this remarkable phenomenon. Those who were led merely by curiosity, have gone as far as Portici-Resina and Della Torre, where they have drunk to Mount Vesuvius, the eruptions of which, it is said, are among the causes of the goodness of the wine. The philosophers, however, exposed themselves to every danger; and several learned men, loaded with chemical & physical instruments, have climbed the mountain to make experiments the results of which will, without doubt, be made public."
BRISTOL, Sept. 6.
We believe it will not be considered by those whose opinions we value, that we employ the language of faction, or disappointment, when we say there is something peculiarly alarming in the state of public affairs. The administration of the country is dislocated; having ceased to respect themselves it is unnatural for the nation to withdraw her confidence? This disunion has become as much a subject of ridicule with some, as the failure of their plans is of serious concern with others. The disconnection and confusion in office, in parties, and even in families, in Parliament and in the nation, are facts universally acknowledged and as universally lamented. This state of things comes upon us the more unexpectedly because the king is known to support the administration, not only upon the public ground of confidence in their measures and their ability, but from feelings of personal regard and favorable opinion. The public voice has not attacked ministers for want of energy, activity, or exertion, and certainly no disposition to replace those who formerly filled the offices of government, and who retired when they had forfeited the confidence of their sovereign. Public opinion does not impute to the present or rather the late administration, the failure of the late expedition, or the unfortunate events in Spain. The blows of fortune, and the diminution of the national glory, are not even considered as crimes on the part of the government.
New York, Nov. 4.
Capt Hillard, from Havana, informs the editors of this Gazette, that many vessels had arrived from the United States, after the shutting of the port, and had petitioned the Governor for permission to enter; and it was generally supposed, that as soon as several Spanish ships of the line that lay there waiting for a wind, had sailed, the port would be again opened for the admission of number—but that the trade allowed to Americans would be limited.
We learn from Captain Colfax, from the same port, that the Governor had dispatched a vessel to the Junta of Seville, with a representation of the dangerous consequences of shutting the port against the Americans, if the measure was irrevocable; and hopes were entertained, that on the return of the dispatch vessel, the ports would be again opened.
London, Oct. 5.—Lord Melville, we understand, has been sent for by his majesty's command. Mr. Perceval's letter to him was sent off last Thursday, and he is expected from Scotland the beginning of next week.

PROSPECTUS OF A NEW REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER, To be established in Fredericktown, Maryland entitled, "THE FREEMAN OF FREDERIC." FINIS CORONAT OPUS.
The support of the united republican interest of Frederic county and the state at large, is solicited in favor of a decided, independent and inflexible Democratic press, conducted upon the broad and liberal basis of republicanism. In this county most particularly, the utility of, and even necessity for, a newspaper which, combining energy with perseverance and intelligence with application, shall constitute a faithful auxiliary to the Republican phalanx, must appear manifest to every friend of sound principles. To enable an Editor, therefore, satisfactorily to consummate the views of such an engagement, it is highly important, nay indispensable, that such patronage be yielded, as shall secure him from pecuniary embarrassment, and afford him at the same time, a certain recompense for the toils he must sustain, and the sacrifices of time and comforts, which it will become his duty to make, to his friends, and to the principles he binds himself to cherish and promote. That support, he confidently believes, will be awarded him. He predicates this confidence upon the patriotism and liberality of the republicans of this county, manifested in more than one instance, on similar occasions. But, as he who proposes to be your Editor, is yet a stranger in the county; and as some anxiety will naturally be excited, and enquiry made, as well in regard to his political as to his moral character—and as an unreserved announcement of the leading features of the proposed establishment, independent of the sanction of custom which it bears, may materially subserve the plan in view, he here submits them, undisguised and palpable.
The Editor is a native American, proud and tenacious of his birth-right—who, since reason adjusted the balance of his mind, has ever been devoutly attached to the honest cause of republicanism—to the policy which dictated the measures of the past & present administration of the general government—to a pure system of democracy; and to the sacred and immutable principles which actuated the patriots and sages of our revolution, and stimulated by which they achieved that independence which too many of their unworthy descendants enjoy but to abuse. Professing sentiments and feelings such as these, it were idle waste of words to declare what shall be the bias of "The Freeman." was it not the earnest desire of the Editor to leave no room for doubt on even the most immaterial point. It will, however, be sufficient in this place to state, that, to detect and to correct error—to defeat the machinations of ambitious and restless spirits—to inculcate the great and sublime tenets of republicanism—and to diffuse throughout the sphere in which it is destined to move, a thorough and correct knowledge of men and measures—is the primary and chief design of this establishment. But let it be distinctly understood, that, so long as the Editor shall have power to resist, so long will he repel all undue influence, as an encroachment on the prerogatives of his station—and never, whilst under his charge, shall "The Freeman" be subject to any authority or control in its plan as a public journal, save the authority of the laws, and the individual control of the Editor—aided and assisted by truth, justice, liberality, and decorum—with such aids, in a just cause, much may be expected, and more may be done.
Having rehearsed the chief points of his creed, and having likewise explained in a summary way, the thing contemplated, the Editor deems it useless to enlarge upon the feasibility or merits of the undertaking, or to multiply professions—willing to rest the purity and success of his views upon the judgment and liberality of the independent voters of the county—and remains amply satisfied, that they will come forward freely in support of an institution which promises to be of much immediate consequence in promoting that cause which every friend to the freedom of his country is in duty bound to support. SAMUEL MAGILL.

STRAYED from the lower Eastern Bridge on Monday last a large BLACK HORSE, about 16 hands high, uncommonly wide across the hips; was lame when I lost him in the right fore ankle, galloped on the left side by the hind part of the saddle pad, bad hoofs before, occasioned by crowding himself; his shoes much worn and have lately been removed before he has a small patch of hair rubbed off his left hip bone, and as well as can be recollected one of his left hind feet is white, paces tolerably well. Whoever will take up the said horse and bring him to Piscataway, or lodge him in the city where I can hear of him shall receive the reward with all other reasonable charges. ROBERT M. KEY.
