FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
Mankind associate and form governments, the legitimate end of which is the mutual protection of their persons, property and pursuits of happiness; and that government is best which produces the greatest good among the greatest number.
An increasing abundance of things necessary and comfortable constitutes prosperity: a superfluity is wealth, which creates imaginary wants, branching into every variety of fantastic form that the mind of man can conceive, & ingenuity prompt or gratify. All wealth is derived from the produce of the earth and labor; therefore a country rich in natural productions, possessing soil and seasons advantageous for culture, and a climate favorable to health and industry, is endowed by nature with intrinsic means of becoming wealthy.
Man's first occupation is to procure food, clothing and shelter. The first, greatest, and most natural improvement of the powers of man is division of labor, which advances to the employment of extensive machinery. Division of labor occasions exchanges, and when these can be made more advantageously abroad than at home, foreign commerce naturally arises, and new articles of trade are introduced. The capacity of every country to furnish human subsistence, and materials for beneficial manufactures, is limited: perhaps few or none have been carried to the extent of which they are capable; but if so carried, many of the inhabitants must be necessarily employed with little or no advantage. Commerce is therefore resorted to, which enlarges the sphere of activity and gives scope to industry and ingenuity. Thus we see people small in numbers, and poor in means, become rich by commerce: but it remains doubtful how far, and the exact modes in which, commerce conduces to national prosperity. Upon this subject the following suggestions are offered for the consideration of others better informed.
Foreign commerce springs from superfluity, and has the effect by means of capital, to draw profit from distant countries: by employing their inhabitants it operates like an accession of subjects or territory. Commerce of the following kinds must naturally be mutually advantageous to the nations who are parties, as well as to the merchants and mariners who conduct it:
Where productions of one climate, which are conducive to health or comfort are fairly exchanged, with due regard to their relative natural value, for the like favorable productions of another. The actual value of all articles may be estimated by the time, labor and extent of country necessary to produce them, and their importance towards human subsistence.
Where the productions of improved industry are exchanged for the raw materials of a people not possessing equal means of manufacturing or bringing them to perfection, or for the rude manufactures of a less cultivated country where labor is cheaper.
Commerce may be mutually advantageous when foreign demand occasions greater production, or exertion of industry, than would otherwise take place; although articles of less value be received in exchange.
It may also be so when articles are exchanged of no real use to either party, and when a great difference may exist between the values exchanged; and is then governed by the means possessed of exchanging such articles with other people, whose wants they are calculated to supply, or in whose eyes they have a value. In like manner produce or manufactures peculiar to any people may be advantageously exchanged.
Commerce is particularly advantageous when a party is able to obtain, in exchange for its commodities, other articles of real value for use, which
cost more in time, labor, or extent of country to produce, or go further towards human subsistence, or possess greater value in the eyes of others, with whom they may be exchanged.
Money has by general consent become the representative of all commodities and labor, otherwise the exchange of provisions or clothing for gold and silver would be as disadvantageous as could well be imagined: so small is their real use.
Trade and commerce, adopted first for convenience, are seized by that strong principle in the human breast, emulation; and are pursued with avidity, from a desire of the distinction, which wealth has in all ages bestowed upon its possessor.
Inland trade, by facilitating exchanges, stimulates and gives new employment to industry, which increases the national stock.
The foreign trade of a nation operates like the extended trade of an individual. He furnishes certain workmen with food, clothing and implements, and receives the produce of their labor. He furnishes certain persons with goods and receives food and clothing or money which will purchase them. And on this exchange he retains a profit to himself. Here we have a positive profit from all the workmen employed, and all the persons supplied. In like manner the merchant's capital is engaged in furnishing employment to industry, by carrying to a foreign market its surplus produce; and by the purchase of foreign commodities, sold afterwards with profit, a benefit is derived from the labor of all the persons employed in producing the foreign articles.
The advantages of inland trade, and the profit on exports, in which the national benefit, and merchants profit coincide, are sufficiently clear; but in the case of imports they are in opposition. As far as the merchant's profit reaches there is a change of property within the nation, and for the cost of the articles, the nation, as far as it consumes, pays the foreign producer. The importation may notwithstanding be advantageous, because all foreign commerce is an exchange of superfluities; and such is the disposition of mankind to shew and expence, that much of the surplus produce of all countries ever has been, and perhaps always will be, uselessly expended or wasted. If luxuries are imported, much that is valuable is also introduced, and all that is re-shipped becomes clear gain. The importation of foreign luxuries into a country does not oblige the inhabitants to buy them; and if they are unable to afford, and desire to possess them, they are stimulated to additional industry. If such articles lay on the merchant's hands, or can only be sold at a loss, he will import no more.
Foreign commerce increases the means of industry. The island of Great Britain would scarcely be equal to raising the animals, certain parts of which are manufactured within it. Cotton and timber are supplied by foreign territories of great extent, which are thus in a manner added to the national domain, while its own soil is otherwise more indispensably, perhaps more profitably occupied. And if the country is unequal to raising the raw materials used in it, even were the soil and climate favorable, so it may well be doubted whether the artisans employed in such manufactures, if the supplies or markets were cut off, could in any other way be rendered so useful to the nation, as by exchanging the produce of their industry, against the productions of a country less advanced or improved.
In cases of carrying trade, where the produce of one foreign nation is purchased and sold to another, the merchant has the profit on employing the producer, and the profit on supplying the customer; but the producers, profit is given to and fixed in a foreign country, by means of domestic capital. The merchant's profit however in this combined operation, may be so much greater, as to bring more wealth to the nation, than when he trades in domestic articles and so furnishes employ and profit to domestic workmen.
It is observed that wealth is rapidly acquired by trade, and this is because every trader acts for and in some degree represents many individuals. A trader may be considered as employing workmen and supplying customers in proportion to his business and capital, therefore he grows rich upon the labor and means of many.
By foreign commerce the tone of the national exertion is raised, the style of living, and aggregate expenditure which must always be chiefly within the nation, because, foreign supply cannot be depended on for subsistence) is increased and wealth is diffused. The exertions made to acquire some foreign luxuries, bring also many substantial comforts. Were those luxuries not imported, or was less money wasted on them, there would probably be not only less to throw away, but less to apply to valuable purposes.
We see therefore that the foundation of riches is in the industry of the people; that commerce gives activity and extension to it, and adds to the national stock by supplies drawn from foreign countries. The merchant's profit is in all cases a property realized into active capital, and sometimes a gain to the nation. It is in vain to say exports may be encouraged and imports and merchandise prohibited: for unless foreign goods are received in exchange, demands would be smaller, prices of exports would fall, and the quantity produced would decrease.
From the foregoing it appears as if national wealth consisted chiefly in being able to draw such supplies as will support a large expenditure, and thus an extensive distribution. The wealth accumulated by the richest nation, is equal to but a few years of its consumption, and the whole wealth of the world is not equal to the compound interest of a dollar for two thousand years. So improvident is man, and so limited are human means.
It may now be asked how far it is eligible to encourage foreign commerce. A wise government will endeavor to attach as much riches to the soil as possible: Therefore agricultural improvements, Roads, Canals, Bridges, Aqueducts, Manufactories, substantial Buildings, Fortifications, &c. will be promoted. A nation depending upon its seamen for protection may encourage foreign commerce solely upon that account, regardless of the wars it may occasion or the expence of its protection; but a government not under the same necessity, will consider these things: Whether the same capital and same people may not be as profitably and therefore more advantageously, employed at home—And whether any of its subjects or citizens, capable of producing the articles imported from abroad, are less advantageously employed than in their production.
THE SCULPTURE
On the front of Covent Garden Theatre .
Within these few days a great part of the scaffolding has been removed from the front of Covent Garden , which is now nearly finished. Two sheds, one on each side of the Portico, which had been erected for the accommodation of the Sculptors, have also been taken down, and thus has been exposed to view the elegant pieces of emblematic sculpture which have afforded much gratification to the amateurs, & have greatly excited the curiosity of the public.
Crowds assemble every day in Bow-street , to view these specimens of the fine arts which are representations of the ancient and modern drama, in basso relievo. The design, are classical, and the execution masterly, and the following short account of the subjects will, we are persuaded prove interesting to our readers. The piece representing the Ancient Drama is to the North of the portico, and that representing the Modern Drama is on the South side.
The Ancient Drama.
In the centre, three Greek Poets are sitting, the two looking towards the portico, are Aristophanes representing the Old Comedy, and (nearest to the spectator) Menander , representing the New Comedy. Before them Thalia presents herself with her crook and comic mask, as the object of their imitation. She is followed by Polymnia playing on the greater lyre, Euturpe on the lesser lyre, Clio with the long pipes, and Terpsichore the Muse of Action or Pantomime. These are succeeded by three Nymphs crowned with the leaves of the fir-pine, and in succinct tunics, representing the hours or seasons governing and tending the winged horse Pegasus .
The third sitting figure in the cen-
tre, looking from the portico, is Eschylus , the Father of Tragedy. He holds a scroll open on his knee; his attention is fixed on Wisdom , or Minerva , seated opposite to the Poet. She is distinguished by her helmet and shield. Between Eschylus and Minerva , Bacchus stands leaning on his fawn, because the Greeks represented Tragedies in honor of Bacchus . Behind Minerva stands Melpomene , or Tragedy, holding a sword & mask; then follow two Furies , with snakes & torches, pursuing Orestes , who stretches out his hands to supplicate Apollo for protection. Apollo is represented in the quadriga, or four-horsed chariot of the Sun. The last described figures relate to part of Eschylus's Tragedy of Orestes .
The Modern Drama.
In the centre (looking from the portico) Shakespeare is sitting; the Comic and Tragic masks, with the lyre, are about his seat; his right hand is raised, expressive of calling up the following characters in the Tempest :—First, Caliban laden with wood; next Ferdinand , sheathing his sword; then Miranda , entreating Prospero in behalf of her lover; they are led on by Ariel above, playing on a lyre. This part of the composition is terminated by Hecate (three-formed Goddess) in her car, drawn by oxen, descending. She is attended by Lady Macbeth , with the daggers in her hands, followed by Macbeth turning in horror from the body of Duncan behind him.
In the centre looking towards the portico, is Milton , seated, contemplating Urania , according to his own inscription in Paradise Lost . Urania is seated facing him above; at his feet is Sampson Agonistes chained. The remaining figures represent the Masque of Comus ; the two brothers drive out three Bacchanals , with their staggering leaders, Comus . The Enchanted Lady is seated in the chair and the series is ended by two Tigers , representing the transformation of Comus's devotees.
The designs of both basso-relievos, and the model of the ancient drama, are by Mr. Flaxman . The modern drama, and the execution in stone, is by Mr. Rossi .
The statues representing Tragedy and Comedy , intended for the niches in the wings of the Theatre, are completed, and we understand, will be put up on Saturday next, each of which is seven feet high.
Tragedy , to occupy the niche in the Southern extremity of the building, or that nearest to Russell street , is a fine figure holding the Tragic mask and dagger. The sculptor is Mr. Rossi .
Comedy holds the shepherd's crook or pedum on her right shoulder, and the comic mask in her left hand. This statue, which is the workmanship of Mr. Flaxman , is to be placed in the niche in the Northern extremity of the building next to Long Acre .
London, Sept. 2. —A dispatch of which the following is a copy, was on the 30th ult. received at the office of Lord Viscount Castlereagh, on of his majesty's principal Secretaries of State, from Lt. Gen. Lord Viscount Wellington, dated
Deleytosa, Aug. 8, 1809.
MY LORD,
I apprised your lordship on the 1st. inst. of the advance of a French corps towards the Puerto de Banos , and of the probable embarrassments of the operations of the army which its arrival at Placentia would occasion; and these embarrassments having since existed to a degree so considerable, as to oblige us to fall back, and to take up a defensive position on the Tagus , I am induced to trouble you more at length with an account of what has passed upon this subject.
When I entered Spain, I had a communication with Gen. Cuesta , through Sir R. Wilson and Col. Roche , respecting the occupation of the Puerto de Perales , the former of which it was settled should be held by a corps to be formed under the marquis de la Reyna, to consist of two battalions from Gen. Cuesta's army, and two from Bejar; and that the Puerto de Perales was to be taken care of by the Duque del Parque, by detachments from the garrison of Ciudad Rodrigo.
I doubted of the capacity of the garrison of Ciudad Rodrigo to make the detachment of the latter, but so little
of effectual occupation of the former, that in writing to Marshal Beresford on the 17th of July, I desired him to look to the Puerto de Perales , but that I considered Banos as secure, as appears by the extract of my letter which I enclose.
On the 30th, intelligence was received at Talavera , that 12,000 rations had been ordered at Fuente Dueros for 28th, and 24,000 at Los Santos for the same day, for a French corps which it was believed was on its march towards the Puerto de Banos .
Gen. Cuesta expressed some anxiety respecting this post, and sent me a message, to propose that Sir Robert Wilson should be sent there with his corps.
Sir Robert was on that day at Talavera , but his corps was in the mountains towards Escalona ; and as he had already made himself very useful in that quarter, and had been near Madrid , with which city he had a communication, which I was desirous of keeping up, I proposed that a Spanish corps should be sent to Banos without loss of time.
I could not prevail with Gen. Cuesta , although he certainly admitted the necessity of a reinforcement, when he proposed that Sir R. Wilson should be sent to Banos ; and he was equally sensible with myself, of the benefit to be derived to the cause, from sending Sir Robert back to Escalona .
At this time, we had no further intelligence of the enemy's advance, than that the rations were ordered; and I had hopes that the enemy might be deterred from advancing, by the intelligence of our success on the 28th, & that the troops in the Puerto might make some defence; and that under these circumstances, it was not desirable to divert Sir Robert Wilson from Escalona .
On the 30th, however, I renewed my application to Gen. Cuesta , to send there a Spanish division of sufficient strength, in a letter to Gen. O'Donnoghue , of which I enclose a copy, but without effect; and he did not detach Gen. Basscoourt till the morning of the 2d, after we had heard that the enemy had entered Bejar , and it was obvious that the troops in the Puerto would make no defence.
On the 2d, we received accounts, that the enemy had entered Placentia in two columns.
The Marquis de la Reyna, whose two battalions consisted of only six hundred men, with only twenty rounds of ammunition each man, retired from the Puerto and from Placeña , without firing a shot, and went to the bridge of Amaraz , which he declared that he intended to remove. The battalions of Bejar dispersed without making any resistance.
The general called upon me, on that day, and proposed that half of the army should march to the rear to oppose the enemy, while the other half should maintain the post at Talavera .
My answer was, that if by half the army, he meant half of each army, I could only answer that I was ready to go or to stay with the whole British army, but that I could not separate it. He then desired me to choose whether I would go or stay, and I preferred to go, from thinking that the British troops were most likely to do the business effectually, and without contest; and from being of opinion, that to open the communication through Placentia was more important to us than to them, although very important to them. With this decision, Gen. Cuesta appeared perfectly satisfied.
The movements of the enemy in our front since the 1st had induced me to be of opinion, that, despairing of forcing us at Talavera , they intended to force a passage by Escalona ; and thus open a communication with the French corps coming from Placentia .
This suspicion was confirmed on the night of the 2nd, by letters received from Sir Robert Wilson, of which I enclose copies; and before I quitted Talavera , on the 3d, I waited on General O'Donnoghue , and conversed with him, upon the whole of our situation, and pointed out to him the possibility in that case of the enemy coming through Escalona , General Cuesta might find himself obliged to quit Talavera before I should be able to return to him; and I urged him to collect all the carts that could be got, in order to remove our hospital. At his desire, I put the purport of this conversation in writing, and sent him a

letter to be laid before Gen. Cuesta, of which I enclose a copy.
The British army marched on the 21st to Prospecta, where the Spanish corps, being at Centinello, where I desired that it might halt the next day, in order that I might be nearer it.
About five o'clock in the evening, I heard that the French had arrived from Placentia, at Navalmodal, where they were between us & the bridge of Almaraz.
About an hour afterwards I received from General O'Donoghue the letter and its enclosures of which I enclose copies, announcing to me the intention of General Cuesta to march from Talavera in the evening, and to leave there my hospital, except such men as could be moved by the means he already had, on the ground of his apprehension that I was not strong enough for the corps coming from Placentia, and that the enemy was moving upon his flank, and had returned to Santa Olalla in his front.
I acknowledge that these reasons did not appear to me sufficient for giving up so important a post as Talavera, for exposing the combined armies to an attack in front and rear at the same time, and for abandoning my hospital; and I wrote the letter of which I enclose a copy.
This unfortunately reached the General after he had marched, and he arrived at Oropesa shortly after day light, on the morning of the 4th.
The question what was to be done was then to be considered. The enemy, stated to be 30,000 strong, but at all events consisting of the corps of Soult and Ney, either united or not very distant from each other, and supposed by Marshal Jourdan and Joseph Bonaparte to be sufficiently strong to attack the British army, stated to be 35,000 strong, were on one side, in possession of the high road to the passage of the Tagus at Almaraz, the bridge at which place we knew had been removed, although the boats still necessarily remained in the river.
On the other side, we had reason to expect the advance of Victor's corps to Talavera, as soon as General Cuesta's march should be known, and after leaving 12,000 men to watch Venegas, and allowing from 10 to 11,000 killed and wounded in the late action, this corps would have amounted to 25,000. We could extricate ourselves from this difficult situation only by great celerity of movement (to which the troops were unequal, as they had not had their allowance of provisions for several days) and by success in two battles. If unsuccessful in either, we should have been without a retreat; and if Soult and Ney avoiding an action, had retired before us and waited the arrival of Victor, we should have been exposed to a general action with 50,000 men equally without a retreat.
We had reason to expect that, as the Marquis de la Reyna could not remove the boats from the river Almaraz, Soult would have destroyed them.
Our only retreat was, therefore, by the bridge of Arco Bispo; and if we had moved on, the enemy by breaking that bridge while the army should be engaged with Soult and Ney, would have deprived us of that only resource.
We could not take a position at Oropesa, as we thereby left open the road to the bridge of Arco Bispo from Talavera by Calera; and after considering the whole subject maturely, I was of opinion that it was advisable to retire to the bridge of Arco Bispo, and to take up a defensive position upon the Tagus.
I was induced to adopt this last opinion, because the French have now at least 50,000 men, disposable to oppose to the combined armies and a corps of 12,000 to watch Venegas; and was likewise of opinion that the sooner the defensive line should be taken up, the more likely were the troops to be able to defend it.
Accordingly I marched on the 4th, and I crossed the Tagus by the bridge of Arco Bispo, and have continued my course to this place, in which I am well situated to defend the passage of Almaraz and the lower part of the Tagus. General Cuesta crossed the river on the night of the 5th, and he is still at the bridge of the Arco Bispo.
About two thousand of the wounded have been brought away from Talavera; the remaining 1500 are there; and I doubt whether under any circumstances, it would have been possible or consistent with humanity to attempt to remove any more of them.
From the treatment which some of the soldiers wounded on the 27th & who fell into hands of the enemy, experienced from them, and from the manner in which I have always treated the wounded, who have fallen into my hands, I expect that these men will be well treated; and I have
only to lament that a new concurrence of events, over which, from circumstances, I had and could have no control, should have placed the army in a situation to be obliged to leave any of them behind.
I have the honor to be, (Signed) ARTHUR WELLESLEY.
From the London Gazette of Sept. 2.
A Dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was yesterday morning received at the Office of Lord Viscount Castlereagh, from Lieut General the Earl of Chatham, dated head quarters, Bath, August 29, 1806.
My Lord—Major Bradford delivered to me your Lordship's dispatch of the 21st inst. signifying to me his Majesty's commands that I should convey to Lieut Gen Sir E. Coote, the General and other officers and troops employed before Flushing, and particularly to those of the artillery and engineer departments, his Majesty's most gracious approbation of their conduct; and which I have obeyed with the most entire satisfaction. I had the honor in my last dispatch of acquainting your Lordship with my intention of proceeding to this place & I should have been most happy to have been enabled to have announced to your Lordship the further progress of this army. Unfortunately, however, it becomes my duty to state to your Lordship that, from the concurrent testimony from so many quarters, as to leave no doubt of the truth of the information, the enemy appears to have collected so formidable a force as so convinced me that the period was arrived, at which my instructions would have directed me to withdraw the army under my command, even if engaged in actual operations. I had certainly early understood on my arrival at Walcheren that the enemy were assembling in considerable force on all points but I was unwilling to give too much credit to these reports and I was determined to persevere until I was satisfied, upon the fullest information, that all further attempts would be unavailable.
From all our intelligence it appears that the force of the enemy in this quarter, distributed between the environs of Bergen-op-Zoom, Breda, Lillo, and Antwerp, and cantoned on the opposite coast, is not less than 35,000 men, and by some statements is estimated higher. Though a landing on the Continent might, I have no doubt, have been forced, yet, as the siege of Antwerp, the possession of which could alone have secured to us any of the ulterior objects of the Expedition, was by this state of things rendered utterly impracticable, such a measure, if successful, could have led to no solid advantage; and the retreat of the army which must at an early period have been inevitable would have been exposed to much hazard. The utmost force (and that daily decreasing) that I could have brought into the field, after providing for the occupation of Walcheren and South Beveland would have amounted to about 23,000 infantry and 2000 cavalry. Your Lordship must at once see, even if the enemy's force had been less numerous than represented, after the necessary detachments to observe the garrisons of Bergen-op-Zoom and Breda, and securing our communications, however inadequate, a force must have remained for operations against Lillo, Liefkenshoek and ultimately against Antwerp; which town so far from being in the state which had been reported, is, from very correct accounts, represented to be in a complete state of defence; & the enemy's ships had been brought up and placed in security, under the guns of the citadel.
Under these circumstances, however mortifying to me to see the progress arrested of an army, from whose good conduct and valor I had every thing to hope, I feel that my duty left me no other course than to close my operations here; and it will always be a satisfaction to me to think that I have not been induced lightly to commit the safety of the army confided to me, or the reputation of his Majesty's arms. It was an additional satisfaction to me to find that the unanimous opinion of the Lieutenant-Generals of this army whom I thought it right to consult, more out of respect to them, than that I thought a doubt could be entertained on the subject, concurred entirely in the sentiments I have submitted to your Lordship. I am concerned to say, that the effect of the climate at this unhealthy period of the year is felt most seriously, and that the number of sick already is little short of 3000 men. It is my intention to withdraw gradually from the advanced position in this island, and sending into Walcheren such an additional force as may be necessary to secure that important possession, to embark the remainder of the troops, and to hold them in readiness to avail his Majesty's
further commands which I shall most anxiously expect. I have the honor to be, (Signed) CHATHAM.
[The Copy of a Dispatch from Rear-Admiral Sir R. Strachan dated on board the St. Domingo off Bath, the 27th ult. follows. The Rear-Admiral states, that having made the necessary naval arrangements of landing the army near Santlset, without hearing from Lord Chatham, communicated with his Lordship on the 24th, & found him undecided. On the 26th attended with Rear-Admiral Sir R. Keates a meeting of the Lieutenant-Generals of the army, when for the reasons already stated in Lord Chatham's dispatch, the ulterior objects of the Expedition were abandoned. Having offered every naval assistance in reducing the fortress, and conceiving the subject of the deliberation to be purely military, he withdrew with Sir R. Keates. The Rear Admiral then states, that the enemy's ships, which were five miles above Antwerp, have come down & are extended in a line fronting it, except two of the line, which are in the reach above Kiefkenshoek, & four frigates gone to Lillo. An immense number of small gun-boats are on the boom, behind them a crescent of 60 guns and mortar-brigs, and the battery of 10 guns between forts Lillo & Hendrick is finished, though that on the Doel side is abandoned.]
THE EXPEDITION.—The delay of the British Expedition, in the Scheldt, to proceed to the accomplishment of its final objects, has at length been unhappily accounted for, by the arrival of dispatches from the Earl of Chatham, stating that, from the information he had received of the increasing force of the enemy for the defence of Antwerp, and the extensive inundations which had been effected, his lordship, in concurrence with the opinion of the lieutenant-generals, and other well informed professional men, had finally decided to abandon the meditated enterprize against the arsenal and the French ships altogether.
Such is the issue of an armament, the largest that ever left the British shores, and to whose operations so much importance has been attached, that it was considered nothing in comparison of the objects it was to accomplish; that the campaign in Spain was suffered to languish for want of troops, and the last opportunity afforded us of effectually aiding that country was permitted to pass by unimproved.
Disapproving, as we from the first did, of the assignment of this formidable force to the Scheldt, we yet felt most anxious for its glory and success; and its failure has excited in us the bitterest regret. Again our military character is held up to the ridicule of the powers of Europe, and the jeers and tauntings of the enemy again fill the continental journals. Nor are we to suppose that they will fail of producing their effect. No concurrence more unfavorable than the failure of this expedition could possibly have taken place at the present crisis.
NEW EXPEDITION!
Sept. 3.—We are enabled to state, that our army is immediately to be employed on a fresh, and we trust, a more successful expedition. Orders were last night dispatched from the Admiralty to Sir R. Strachan, and from Lord Castlereagh's office, addressed "to the commander in chief of the British troops in Zealand;" containing instructions on the subject of this new enterprize. We likewise find, that orders were yesterday given for providing provisions, &c. for 25,000 men for one month; so that we may conclude that the service in question is not very remote.
OF PEACE BETWEEN FRANCE AND AUSTRIA.
Vienna, August 6.—Among other points which are to serve as the basis of the treaties now negotiating, one is, that the Emperor Francis shall cede the kingdom of Bohemia to his eldest brother the duke of Wurzburg. The intelligence that the Archduke Charles has resigned the command of the army, has made a great impression on the public; he possesses the love and confidence of the soldiers in a very high degree. It is understood that the armistice has been prolonged for 28 days.
August 9.—M. M. Champagny and marshal Duroc are named plenipotentiaries for France, and count Metternich and count St. Vincent for Austria.
August 19.—We witness at present some arrangements which seem to indicate, that the emperor of Austria means in future to reside at Buda, in Hungary. All the officers of the different public departments have received orders to proceed thither, and the public archives are also to be removed to that place. This circumstance, and the resignation of the Archduke Charles, have made here the most
painful impression; the latter is generally considered as an event of the utmost importance for the Austrian empire.—[Royal Amsterdam Gazette.]
Paris, August 24.—Letters from Vienna afford us reason to hope that peace will be speedily concluded. It is said that all the leading points were agreed upon between Austria and France, before the negotiations at Altenburgh commenced. The party which so strenuously and absurdly asserted the necessity of continuing a ruinous war, is now, since the disgrace of the Archduke Charles, generally despised. The report of Russia having sent a minister plenipotentiary to the Congress in Altenburgh, is confirmed; and the best understanding still prevails between the emperors Napoleon and Alexander.—The ministers of justice, war, finances, general of police, and for foreign affairs, and marshals Oudinot and Macdonald, have been created dukes. The duke of Auerstadt has obtained the title of prince of Eckmuhl; the duke of Rivoli, that of prince of Essling; and the prince of Neufchatel has been nominated prince of Wagram.—Royal Amsterdam Gazette of August 30.
August 22.—Her majesty the empress continues in private since her return from the baths of Malmaison, and it is believed that she will not make her appearance before the arrival of the emperor, who, according to the last advices from Vienna, is not expected to be long delayed. In fact, we learn that the House of Austria, after many tergiversations and much repugnance, seems at length to acquiesce in all the conditions on which the emperor Napoleon consents to grant peace. The last obstacles to peace being thus removed, the plenipotentiaries reciprocally appointed to conclude the treaty, have repaired to Altenburgh, and not to Raab, as was first said, where they will open their conferences. The official journal announces this event in the following terms:—"M. de Champagny, minister for foreign relations, has set out from Vienna for Altenburgh, in Hungary, where he will arrive on the 11th in the evening. On the 15th, the negotiations for peace will be opened. The emperor of Austria has appointed count Metternich and count Nugent for his plenipotentiaries."
Santa Olalla, August 9.—We received this moment intelligence, that the enemy's artillery, which bombarded Toledo, has, on a sudden ceased firing, and that the English and insurgents are retreating in the utmost confusion to the left bank of the Tagus. Thus a few days have been sufficient to confound and disconcert the absurd projects of people who carried the suggestions of insanity so far as to conceive that they should speedily render themselves masters of the capital, and now deem it extremely prudent to place the Tagus between them and the French army.—[Royal Amsterdam Gazette of August 23.]
The general of division Verdier, having the command of the troops employed in the siege of Geronia, has addressed the following dispatches, dated St. Madin, Aug. 12, to the minister of war, count de Huneburg:
"I have the honor to send your excellency reports of the operations of the siege of Geronia, from the 7th inst. to this day; from which your excellency may judge of the patience and valor displayed by the troops which his majesty was pleased to put under my command."
"The fortress Mont-Jouij fell into our hands at six this evening. This important conquest of a position difficult to attack, and against an obstinate enemy, whose boldness is so lamentable, gives us almost complete assurance, that eight or nine days more will suffice in order to subdue the remaining part of the town, as the outside is surrounded only by a weak wall, which may be destroyed with great facility. Within a short time Geronia shall be subdued."
"The fort Mont-Jouij, formerly one of the strongest and best situated forts in Europe, is now nothing but a heap of ruins; and it was not till after we had been obliged to go to the covered way, taken by storm the half-moon on the side on which we made the attack, and made several breaches, that the enemy resolved to abandon that side, and retire into the town, on which side it was not in our power to cut off its retreat."
"Your excellency will bear in mind, that this is the first time within fifteen years in the course of the war, so dangerous and laborious an enterprise has been undertaken. What rendered this more difficult was, that we were obliged to raise our works of art; and that the intrenchments were to be made in the presence of an embittered adversary. Generals Sanson and Tawel commanded the engineers and artillery, and conducted their operations with zeal, foresight and courage."
"We have found in Mont-Jouij 13 pieces of cannon, which are for the greater part unserviceable, and some ammunition; the remains of their artillery had been carried away, after having been rendered useless by our fire."
PROCLAMATION Of the King.
"Soldiers!—It is scarcely 15 days since 120,000 enemies, consisting of English, Portuguese and Spaniards, who marched from different points, rendezvoused under the walls of my capital; but united on the 26th of July at the bridge of Gaudarama, the first and 4th corps, and the reserve, defeated on that day the enemy. On the 27th, he repassed in great haste the Alberche. On the 28th, attacked in a position judged inattackable, 30,000 men have not been able to contend against 40,000 French. From that time, renouncing their chimerical project of conquest, they have thought but of safety, and have abandoned the field of battle. More than 6,000 English, wounded, are in our hospitals."
"The last of our corps, the 1st, was judged sufficient to observe, and keep in check this army, still so numerous in spite of its losses. It remained upon the Alberche whilst our corps and the reserve set out on the 29th to seize on Toledo, besieged by the army of La Mancha, and that of Madrid, menaced by the same army, already within four leagues of the capital, to relinquish its prey. It has passed the Tagus in the greatest haste, and flies towards the Sierra Morena after having abandoned some thousands of killed, wounded, and prisoners. The 2d, 5th, and 6th corps are following the rear guard of the enemy's army. These corps formed a junction with the 1st corps of Orepason the 7th Aug."
"The English fly in every way in disorder, and by roads hitherto judged impracticable to artillery. The 2d and 5th corps are pursuing them."
"Soldiers you have saved my capital, the king of Spain thanks you; you have done more, the brother of your Emperor sees fly before your eagles the eternal enemy of the French name."
"The Emperor will know all that you have done, he will acknowledge the brave who have made themselves conspicuous among the brave, those who have received honorable wounds; and if he says to us, I am content with you, we shall be sufficiently recompensed."
JOSEPH. H. Q. Toledo, Aug 9, 1809."
Paris, Aug. 16.—The English Col. Markell attempted on the 6th of July to throw 1400 troops into Girona; but but they were surrounded by General Pino, and the corps was taken.
Sept. 3.—Yesterday we received, via Heligoland, Hamburg Correspondents to the 24th ult. and Paris papers to the 16th. The former state that a report prevailed at Vienna on the 6th, that the Armistice between Austria and France had been prolonged for 28 days; but there are, in the same journals, accounts of three days later date from Vienna, and from Olmutz to the 15th, which are wholly silent on the subject.
The circumstance of the conquered parts of Galicia, having been occupied in the name of Napoleon, and the substitution of the French eagles for those of Austria, appears, as we anticipated, to have given offence to the Russians, who, in those districts occupied by their arms, maintain the Austrian eagles in opposition to the orders of Bonaparte, as declared in the proclamations of the Polish generals Poniatowsky and Kamieuski, and it is even stated in the Correspondent of the 23d, that the whole of the Russian troops in Galicia were about to retire from that province.
The French papers do not furnish any information, their contents having been anticipated by the Dutch journals previously received. They give the addresses of the Prefects of Brussels, Jemappe, the Seine, and some other districts, on the occasion of calling out the National Guards to oppose the invasion of the English; but there is nothing in these addresses worthy of remark, further than as they shew, that Bonaparte had carried into action either on the Danube or Spain, the entire of his regular troops, leaving even his capital to the defence of its citizens.
The Emperor Napoleon has given to the Duke of Abrantes the military command of all the countries between the Rhine and Bohemia and Saxony. His authority extends over the circle of the Maine, the Grand Duchy of Wurzburg, & the territories of Hanau, Baireuth, Fulda and Erfurth.
The Austrian corps of the Prince of Rosenberg which suffered much in the late battle, has been disbanded and distributed among the other corps.

London, Sept. 3. —The ministerial papers state, that the sick and wounded of our army, which fell into the hands of the French at Talavera, did not exceed 1500.—Would that not one had shared that fate! We can, however, vouch upon undoubted authority, that the amount of the sick and wounded at Talavera, on the day after the battle, was not less than 4000! And we have heard and seen, that of these, none but the slightly affected made their escape!
We are informed that no more licenses will be granted to import from, or export to, the coasts of Holland and France. Repeated applications supported by urgent remonstrances, have been made, to obtain such licenses, particularly for the importation of grain; but we understand that they have been, and will continue to be, at present, wholly ineffective.
Upwards of 130 wounded soldiers were landed at Deal on Saturday last, from the Eagle man of war, and carried to the hospital. About eight wounded officers have been landed; among them are colonel Petit, of the 36th regiment, and major Thompson of the 30th, in the arm.
Trieste, Aug. 8. —Early this morning an English fleet of 10 ships of war appeared off this port. Among them a three-decker of 120 guns, on board of which is admiral Collingwood. It is not yet known what the English intend with respect to Trieste. Our batteries are, however, in a respectable state of defence. The day before yesterday, an English frigate and a cutter came in sight of our harbor and captured 32 ships and a bark, destined here. They were under the convoy of six small gun-boats, who maintained an obstinate action of an hour's duration. There were several killed and wounded on both sides.
Aug. 12. —Since the beginning of this month the English fleet in the Adriatic Gulf has been considerably reinforced. Adm. Collingwood has taken the command of the English fleet, in order it is said, to bombard Trieste & the Russian fleet. General Schilt, Governor of Trieste, is making the most vigorous preparations of defence jointly with the Russian Admiral.—( Royal Amsterdam Gazette of Aug. 23 )
Olmutz, August 14. The request of the Archduke Charles to be permitted to go to Teschen to duke Albert, has been granted.
The field marshal lieutenants, Kienmayer, Hohenzollern, and Simbschön, have been appointed generals. Hiller has taken the command of the army in Hungary, ad interim , on account of the indisposition of the Prince of Lichtenstein. The Archduke Ferdinand commands the army in Bohemia and Moravia.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 5. Yesterday evening the Chamberlain, M. d'Alopus, who was Russian minister in Sweden at the breaking out of the war set out for Freiderickshamn, where it is understood that the negotiations for peace with Sweden will be carried on.
Hamburg, August 22. It is understood that the Swedish embassy from Stockholm to the French court, is on the road, and is expected at Stralsund on the 21st or 22d; the plenipotentiaries are the Count Von Essen and the Baron Lagerbjelke.
Stockholm, August 15. His Royal Majesty has sent to the Diet a message relative to the pension which the states are to allow to the late king, Gustavus Adolphus, his Queen and children.
WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27.
The price of the people has never been more audaciously expressed than at the recent elections. In every section of the union where they have been held they have eventuated in the triumph of the republicans. To demonstrate this we shall cursorily enumerate the various results. With regard to Rhode Island the accounts are contradictory; each side claiming a majority in the legislature. But it is agreed, even by the federalists, that there is a considerable accession of republican members chosen. In Connecticut more republican members are likewise elected than there were in the last Assembly. In Vermont the triumph is decisive in every department of the government. Both the branches of the legislature are decidedly republican; and a republican governor is chosen in lieu of a federalist. In New Jersey, both houses of the Assembly are decidedly republican, the republican majority of members being greater than in the last legislature. In Pennsylvania, not a fifth of the members of the legislature are federal. In Delaware the federal party is splitting to pieces, and though her assembly still remains federal, the votes given at the late election evince a great
republican gain. In Maryland, in spite of the mightiest efforts, the house of delegates has been rescued from federalism, and is now republican by a considerable majority, the consequence of which is that the government in all its departments is republican. In Kentucky, Tennessee & Georgia republicanism has triumphed, as is invariably the case, without opposition. We have thus established the fact, that in all the recent elections republicanism has gained a victory. This victory may well be viewed as brilliant, when it is remarked that these elections embrace ten states out of the seventeen that make up the confederacy, and all the states, excepting two, in which federalism has the least chance of success, in both which states there are the strongest indications of a complete republican ascendancy at the ensuing elections. At present at least eleven, perhaps twelve, of the state governments are republican, and there is a probability that in a few months fourteen will be so.
Well then may the friends of liberty in the United States laugh at the empty boasts of their adversaries, and at their alarming predictions. The whole have vanished into air. The almost universality of their defeat proves that the great body of the people are against them; and it proves more—it proves that the people of this country are too fixed in their principles to permit their enemies to profit by its misfortunes. It is this that the opposition has calculated upon; they flattered themselves that they would reap a rich harvest from the injustice of foreign governments. But they have been woefully disappointed, and their disappointment reflects the highest honor on the virtue of the people.
In this commanding attitude of victory we are gratified at the dignity and temperance of discussion that generally characterise the republican prints, which presents a happy contrast with the virulent indecency or contemptible crimination of a few of the federal papers. Some of these latter are too humble for notice; but with the exception of these it is gratifying to perceive that the chief instruments of political clamor at present are a few editors, whose hopes of political honor or emolument are totally blasted, and whose only resource to gain any kind of distinction is by inflaming the people. But because such men violate every dictate of decency and habitually sport with truth, or pompously dilate upon topics long since either settled or consigned to oblivion, does it follow that the republican prints ought to descend to their level and expose themselves to all the disadvantages arising from acquaintance with weapons in the use of which their adversaries are so expert. It were unjust to extend this remark to all, or even the greater part of the federal prints. Many of them, at this very time, are guided by far different principles. Indeed the opposition is at present so languid, that in naming half a dozen prints we should perhaps enumerate all those, to whom belong the proud satisfaction of keeping, without cause, the fire of party alive.
Connecticut Politics. —An election lately held in that state for persons to stand in nomination for Assistants in May next, affords some data by which to judge of the political complexion of the state. The following are the average number of votes given on each ticket:
  Republican 5326   Federal 9864 
By the last statement we received of the amount of the national debt of England, it appeared to be the enormous sum of 660,000,000 pounds sterling. In order to form some idea of this mass of money, let us suppose it laid down in a direct line of guineas close to each other, it would extend upwards of 12,000 miles!! Change it into shillings and arrange them in a similar manner, and it would be sufficiently long to reach eleven times round the earth, and would require two hundred and ten thousand horses to draw it, allowing each horse a thousand weight. Mer. Adv.
By an imperial Decree, Marshals Oudinot and Macdonald—M. le Count Regnier, (minister of justice); M. le Count Nompere de Champagny (minister of foreign affairs); M. le Count Gaudan (minister of finance); M. le Count M. d'Hunebourg (minister of war); M. le Count Fouche (minister of general police); have all been created dukes. The duke of Auerstadt (Davoust) has been created Prince of Eckmuhl; the duke of Rivoli (Massena) Prince of Essling; and the Prince of Neuchatel (Berthier) adds to his title that of Wagram.
Treadwell's Speech. —We this day publish the Speech of the Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut to the Legislature of that state. It is neither re-
markable for false nor novelty, and is there be but little in it to condemn, there is still less to admire or applaud. The paragraph last but one is one of the most exceptionable which we have heard from the lips of any public agent in the union for many years. We request our readers will turn to it and give it a patient and attentive perusal. It will be found to divide itself into three distinct parts, each of which are highly exceptionable and have been too frequently and too fatally urged by the federal writers in this country.
I. The French government are represented as a 'despotism more relentless and bloody' than any exercised for centuries in Europe, and as the 'chief agent in producing' the 'astonishing revolutions which in rapid succession, have, of late years, convulsed Europe.'
II. Great Britain is represented as interposing between France and 'universal empire' and we are invited to cultivate the 'proffered friendship of the power.'
III. Lastly, it is proclaimed, that 'most of the embarrassments which our republic has of late years experienced, have, it is believed, originated in an undue bias' in favor of France.
That corrupt or purchased editors should publish such falsehoods, ought not to be matter of surprize, but when the chief magistrate of a state in his address to the legislative body, gives currency to such untruths, they are calculated to do more than ordinary mischief, and call for more than ordinary condemnation and detestation.
There is no truth in the assertions respecting France. There is no truth in the assertion that Great Britain has proffered us her friendship, but above all it is a malicious untruth to affirm, that the "embarrassment of the U. States of late years has originated in an undue bias" in favor of France.
Mr. Treadwell has in his speech talked much of religion, and we would, if we could, persuade ourselves that he believes in the truth of all he has said on that subject, but we find it impossible to give a man credit for either religion and morals, who in the discharge of a high and important public duty, affirms that to be true which he must himself know to be false—It adds not a little to the turpitude of this man's conduct, when it is known that the speech upon which we are commenting, is one which he delivered as an electioneering address to secure his election as governor in the room of Mr. Trumbull. Should such sentiments win the federal votes, it will be another drop in the ocean of evidence which demonstrates the truth of Gen. Stark's declaration, that "there is a dangerous British party lurking in the U. S." Dem. Press.
From the Public Advertiser. LIVERPOOL MOB.
That the taking down of the American flags in Liverpool on the 4th of July, was a preconconcerted business, will appear from the following facts communicated by a gentleman lately arrived in this city, who was an eye witness to the proceedings.
About the middle of June our informant seeing a mob collected in the street, drew near and saw three or four men beating a Dutch sailor who belonged to an American vessel, while a number of bystanders were exclaiming "that's right boys—hit the d—d Yankee." They at length let him go, swearing that on the 4th of July they would let the Yankees see something. Some days previous to the 4th, three carpenters were at work on board an American vessel; one of them asked the others if they would work on they 4th; he was answered, that on the ringing of a bell, they must all repair to the Queen's dock, and they would get work there.
On the 4th about 11 o'clock some bells near the docks began to ring and continued till one, three cheers were then given, on which a custom house officer on board an American ship observed, that the boys had began their work, and there would be some fun. About this hour the mob had collected and began to take down the American flags, tearing every thing to pieces where they met with opposition.
Capt. Story, of Boston, lashed the haulards of the colors to his body, and drew his cutlass, declaring that he would sooner die than let his colors be taken down. The mob, intimidated by his determined manner, kept aloof, and began to throw brick-bats, billets of wood, &c. at him, some of which striking him, he fell. They then encountered him en masse ; beat him in a cruel manner; tore off part of his clothes, and left him almost dead.
The President Adams, of Boston, had a liberty tree painted on canvas & hoisted along with the flag; this they tore into pieces, tied them round their hats and legs, and dragged some of them through the mud, exclaiming, "Let the damn'd Yankees come now & support their independence!"
Proceeding from Queen's to King's dock, they were met by the Mayor at the head of 8 or 10 soldiers, who seeing that the mob had began to throw stones, quietly withdrew, leaving them to terminate the business as they tho't proper. In this manner they kept it up, as they called it, till about six in the evening, when the American sailors began to collect in a body, determined to oppose them, and revenge the insult done to their country. It was now that the Mayor, fearing that some of his majesty's subjects might get black eyes, again made his appearance; not with 8 or 10 men, as before, but at the head of 500 cavalry; he then caused the mob to disperse, and no further mischief ensued.
The above statement may be relied upon as correct. The account given of it in some of our papers, stating that the Americans had hoisted their flag over that of the British is false. This was done by the English carpenters in order that the blame might be thrown on the Americans.
From the Democratic Press.
THOUGHTS
ON THE RECENT MISSION OF THE CHEVALIER OATS.
The case of the U. States, in respect to the new minister of the Supreme Junta of Spain, is worthy of much more consideration than it yet appears to have received. It is a settled and a wise maxim of the law of nations, that a neutral power, like ourselves, is not bound to decide, by its responsible conduct, which of two or more contending or existing claimants is entitled to the sovereignty of a country. There have been, within two or three years, three several claimants. What is their present condition? The king Carlos or Charles, the father of Ferdinand the VIIIth was king at the date of our last treaty, and when the Marquis Yrujo, their last minister plenipotentiary, arrived here. The operations of his son Ferdinand the VIIth, or of the Prince of Peace, or of France, occasioned Charles, no doubt unwillingly, to resign. Compulsion destroys the legitimacy of every private and official act. Can Ferdinand profit of his own wrong doing and become king of Spain at the expence of the sovereign will and right of his father? If he could, every prince, entitled to a succession, would be set upon a similar project to obtain the crown at the expence of his father's rights and of the national peace. Is the title of king Ferdinand good against his own father and his own sovereign, or ought a minister from Carlos to be received rather than from Ferdinand? These are not considerations of a light or ingenious cast. They arise out of the known history of the case. They are within the personal knowledge of our responsible public agents. They do not assume to discuss them for Spain, but they are bound to consider them for their constituents.
But what are the rights of Ferdinand? He has resigned from his own free will or from compulsion. If he has resigned from force, is a compulsory resignation less efficacious against his compulsory title, wrested from his father Carlos, than the compulsory resignation of his father is against that father's acknowledged title? The father yet lives, the head of the Spanish branch of the house of Bourbon. Are we authorised or required to deny his title?
Another view of Ferdinand's title presents itself to our attention. He has actually departed out of the kingdom of Spain into the dominions of a neighboring power. He remains out of his dominions. Departure from a kingdom has been held even by our ancient regal government to be, under some circumstances, an effective abdication of the royal office and power. We have not the right or the power to call the father Carlos nor the son Ferdinand to prove to us whether a compulsory resignation by the first, or a compulsory resignation and abdication of the second have left the one or the other the best title.
A third claimant offers—Joseph Napoleon. He possesses the metropolis. The last advices exhibit the armies of Ferdinand under the direction of a foreign king. The British commander, the viscount Wellington, actually exercises the high powers of generalissimo, in a military government. Is George III. king, de facto , in Spain? Or is Joseph Napoleon, whose army compels Wellington, with the forces of G. Britain and Spain, to suspend offensive measures, to resort to fortified camps, and apparently to adopt the plan of a retreat out of the dominions of Carlos, Ferdinand and the Supreme Junta into the foreign territory of the Portuguese?
It is this a juncture for our virtuous, enlightened and responsible President to relinquish, nay to oppose, the high authority of the law of nations, which the federal constitution solemnly recognizes? Ought the President to precipitate an election, which that for-
reigns, whose ultimate settlement on the throne of Spain may depend upon a human life, a decisive battle, a national panic or a general revolt—upon the chances of war—or the inscrutable dispensations of Divine Providence?
