TRIBUNATE.
Secret Sitting of the 2d Vendemaire, year 14, the Proces Verbal of which has been read in the Public Sitting of the 4th.
The president announced that he had received this morning at 3 o'clock, a letter to the following purport from the minister secretary of state.
St. Cloud, 1st Vendemaire, year 14.
Mr. President,
I have the honor to inform you that the orators of the council of state, will repair to-morrow, Tuesday, at five in the afternoon to the tribunate, in order to make a communication in the name of his majesty the emperor. The emperor desires that this sitting be not public. Accept, Mr. President, the assurances of my high consideration.
Signed.
H. B. Maret.
The orators of the council of state being introduced, one of them explained himself as follows:
Tribunes, we are instructed by the emperor and king to communicate to you the speech which his majesty yesterday delivered to the senate; as also the exposition of the reciprocal conduct of France and Austria since the peace of Luneville; and of the cause of the present war.
The orator of the council of state then read the said documents.
After which the orator continued as follows:
Tribunes, You have just heard that war has broken out on the continent. This event will afflict every friend to humanity; but will be only terrible for the enemies of France.
In vain the emperor offered peace to England, in the midst of the terror he had struck her with, in the midst of the prodigies he daily created to restore to the French flag its ancient glory. The British ministry, far from accepting the offer, after having kept assassins in its pay, and exhausted every means to give up France anew to the horrors of anarchy, has just seduced by its gold and intrigues, two governments whose interests are foreign to its quarrels, or rather similar to our own with regard to the liberty of the seas, which the emperor of the French wishes to re-establish, but which England does not cease to oppress.
If passion had not blinded Austria and Russia, the part they had to act was both noble and easy, they might by endeavoring to contribute to the return of peace, have set their faces against the absurd system of blockade, and a second time have proclaimed the principles of that armed neutrality which reflected so much honor on some sovereigns during the war for the independence of America, principles founded upon the rights of nations, and which one of the northern powers, by claiming since that period, only drew on herself the vengeance of the enemies to the liberty of the seas. It was no doubt time to promulgate them solemnly, and to set bounds to the haughty intention of a state to reserve for itself what is the common property of all the human race; and when so great an interest was so evident, how was it possible to misunderstand it to that degree, as not only to abandon it, but even to unite against the only power which wished to defend it.
The Austrian government, which has twice been seen bordering on its ruin, and been twice spared by the victor, dares to oppose itself once more to fall into the abyss, from which it has just escaped. Callous to the wishes of all the German states, it delivers up to the calamities of war countries which on all sides still present the traces of its ravages! it assembles all its forces, it directs them towards France and Italy; it dares to assert that it arms for the preservation of peace. What advantage can it promise itself from this mockery of words? Does it presume that Frenchmen will wait in the midst of their country, for those pretended pacific armies, those negotiators of a species hitherto unknown, who, sword in hand, come to dictate their orders.
In short, without provocation from the elector of Bavaria, without the least appearance of legitimate motives, the Austrian government has just invaded a part of his states. It has not confined itself to threats which our emperor has dissipated, it attacks our allies; it has then begun the war!
Let the evils which will be the consequence of this cruel scourge, recoil upon its authors! they tremble now, no doubt, at the consequence of their enterprize, and their restless looks are only directed to the future; to perceive its misfortunes. How different is our situation! for us all the probabilities are in favor of success.
These sentiments are so conformable to the character of our nation, that it requires no effort to make them known; but should it be useful to propagate them, who more than you, Tribunes, would hasten to employ all their influence, to enlighten the people on their interest, and duties? who more than you has the right to excite their zeal, fidelity and gratitude towards our august Emperor?
The President made the following reply:
Gentlemen, Orators of the Council of State, Posterity will scarcely believe that whilst we were fighting for the independence of the seas and the free commerce of every people the Emperors of Austria and Russia should wish to make a diversion in favour of the common enemy, coalesce with him against the faith of treaties and their own interests, and declare the most unjust and absurd war against us.
This unlooked for aggression is the melancholy result of the ancient hatred vowed against France by the Court of Vienna, and of the corrupting gold of that of St. James.
No doubt but that it must produce the effect of dividing our forces; and of suspending for a time the vast projects which the genius of the Great Napoleon was at length going to execute against the English Government.
But the signal infidelity of the Court of Vienna will shortly receive its just punishment, and the Monarch whom France could twice have despoiled of more than half of his hereditary states, will not be long before he repents having renewed the continental war, actuated by motives foreign to the true interests of the Germanic Empire, and in contempt of the solemn treaties which had re-established peace on the continent.
Gentlemen, Orators of the Council of State, the Tribunate which feels the full value of the independence and consideration of the French Empire, is about to unite all its efforts and use all its influence to preserve them full and entire.
The finest armies in the universe, who feel their own force, who possess the enthusiasm of French honor, and the habit of victory, a people whose dissensions have rendered them more energetic; all the resources of nature, the sciences and the arts directed by Napoleon, how, whatever the chances of battles, can we dread the issue of the war!
The courage of our warriors produced the most brilliant triumphs when France was rent by interior troubles; what will it not now obtain, when all the citizens of the Empire have but one will?
Ambition and augmentation of power are spoken of, but do not these reproaches apply to the rapid progress of the British dominion in the richest country in the world, to the machiavelism of the means, it makes use of to destroy us there which have not yet lost their independence? Do not these reproaches apply to the Russian Empire, three times more extensive than the territory of all the states in Europe, which daily multiplies its invasions, threatens civilized countries with a new deluge of the barbarians subject to its power, and which it arms with all the resources of civilization.
France is indebted for its safety to its illustrious chief. No man, whatever may have been his opinions or political conduct in the course of the preceding divisions, can deny that he alone was able to oppose an insurmountable dike to the fury of factions. We owe to him the preservation of every thing that is dear us, and his enemies deceive themselves so far as to believe that when renouncing, after so many glorious exploits, the sweets of repose, he is about to put himself at the head of its armies, Frenchmen could remain cool spectators of his efforts! Let them at length discover their fatal illusions, experience will teach them ere long, that whilst our troops shall continue to merit our gratitude beyond the frontiers, every Frenchman in the interior will second them by his wishes, his sacrifices, and his zeal to maintain good order and the execution of the laws. However numerous may be the armies of this Empire, they do not contain all our warriors, and were it even possible for momentary successes to permit our enemies to set foot in our territory, they would find there as many soldiers as citizens.
In vain will our enemies seek to excite divisions and disturbances in the interior of France; the nation has but one resolution not to sink from the rank to which its high destinies have called it; it wishes to insure to Europe the freedom of the seas & commerce; animated by an enthusiasm equal to so great an interest, it will never suffer our brave armies to want for a moment any of the means to subsist and conquer.
Conducted by the genius and star of Bonaparte, they are about to cover them-
selves with new laurels and splendidly avenge the national honor treacherously offended.
The Tribunate gives you an acknowledgement of the reading and laying on the table the imperial decree which contains your mission, of the documents relative to the communication which you have just made to it in the name of his majesty, the Emperor and King, and of the speech you have just delivered on the subject.
The orators of the council of state then withdrew. The Tribunate ordered the speech and the reply to be entered on the process verbal.
From the British Press, Sept. 19.
PRESENT STATE OF THE FRENCH MILITARY FORCE.
At a moment when the political horizon is again overcast, a statement of the military force will not be unworthy of public attention. It is derived from the most authentic sources.
The Gendarmerie forms a distinct body, composed of 2,626 brigades. Of these, 1,813 are cavalry, and 813 infantry. The whole corps is divided into 28 legions, among which is the Legion D'Elite, which forms a part of the Imperial guards. Marshal Moncey is at the head of the Gendarmerie, with the title of Inspector General.
The corps of artillery is composed of 8 regiments of infantry, 9 regiments of horse artillery, 15 companies of laborers, 2 battalions of pontoniers, and 16 battalions of the train of artillery. There are besides 231 officers who are charged with the direction and inspection over the artillery, as well with the army, as in fortified places and colonies. General Songis is the first inspector general of the artillery; besides him, there are 11 other inspectors general. The artillery which contributed so materially to the success of the French armies during the late war forms a distinct corps, which is immediately under the command of the minister of war.
The corps of engineers is composed of a general staff, 5 battalions of sappers, 9 companies of miners, and the Gardes du Genie. To the general staff belong three generals of division, under whom general Marescott is first inspector general, 6 brigade generals, 37 colonels, the directors, and 37 chiefs of battalions; the sub-directors are 220 captains, 40 lieutenants, an examiner of the corps of engineers who is a member of the institute, and 4 provisional directors. The five battalions of sappers have likewise a staff, and are divided into 9 companies. Each battalions is composed of 62 men in time of peace, and 209 men in time of war. Each of the 9 companies of miners consists in time of peace, of 68, and in war, of 100 men.
The French infantry is composed of 90 regiments of infantry of the line, and 27 regiments of light infantry. Among the colonels of regiments, the brother and brother in law of the emperor, prince Joseph and the prince of Lucca and Piombino, are particularly distinguished.
The cavalry consists of 78 regiments, namely, 2 regiments of carabineers, 12 regiments of cuirassiers, 30 regiments of dragoons, 24 regiments of jagers, and 10 regiments of hussars.
The corps of veterans comprehends 12 regiments.
The whole of the French army at present amounts to 593,588 men, exclusive of the Gens des arms, the national guards, and the newly organized armies of the Kingdom of Italy.
As a military monarchy France is divided into 28 divisions. The head quarters of these divisions which comprehend 2, 3 or more departments, are Paris where prince Murat commands governor, Mezieres, Metz, Nancy, Strasburg, Besancon, Grenoble, Marseilles, Montpellier, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes, Rennes, Caen, Rouen, Lille, Dijon, Lyons, Perigueux, Bourges, Tours, Bastia, Brussels, Liege, Coblenz, Turin and Genoa.
The active armies of the French empire, are at present organized in the following manner:
The French force in Italy consists of the French army of observation, under the command of the general Gouvion St. Cyr, under whom are the generals Montrichard, Quesnel and Bruy; and of the troops in Upper and Middle Italy, under the supreme command of marshal Jourdan, who form what is called the army of Italy, of which general Charpentier is the chief of the general staff. It is composed of 3 divisions, under the generals Chebot Zayonchek, Pully, Gardanne and Olive; the corps of troops, in Etruria, under general Verdier; the troops in the Genoese, under general Milhaud, and the corps in the states of Parma, commanded by general Lesuire.
The army of Hanover, as it is designated, over which marshal Bernadotte has the supreme command, is composed of 4 divisions of infantry under the generals L'vov, Drouet, Dessolles and Barbon, and a division of cavalry, commanded by general Kellermann. General Leopold Berthier is chief of the general staff; generals Dumoulin, Schinæer, Frere, Picard, Pacot, Mariz, Werse and Grandjean have particular commands in this army.
The army in Holland is divided into two principal parts, composed of the three divisions in the camp, formed at Utrecht, under the generals Vignolles, Boudet and Grouchy; the supreme command of which is vested in general Marmont, whose authority, as general in chief, extends to the whole Batavian republic. To this army, likewise, belong the other French troops collected in Holland, under the command of the general of division Monnet.
At the head of the general staff of the army of the coast, is the marshal and minister of war, Berthier, as maj. gen. The different divisions of this mass of troops are: 1. The corps of cavalry reserve, under general Bourcier. 2. The corps of reserve grenadiers, under general Oudinot. 3. The corps of dragoons, composed of two divisions, conducted by the generals Klein and Baraguay D'Hilliers. 4. The camp of Montreull, under the command of marshal Ney, comprising four divisions, commanded by generals Dupont, Loison, Tilly and Mather. 5. The camp of Brest, under command of marshal Augereau, consisting of three divisions, under the generals Mathieu, Bonnet and Desjardins. 6. The camp of Bruges, composed of four divisions, under the generals Gidin, Tiltant, Walther and Debilly, and the supreme command of which is vested in marshal Davoust, who is assisted by the celebrated general Mathieu Dumas, as chief of the general staff. 7. The camp of St. Omer, or Boulogne, commanded by marshal Soult; this is the most numerous portion of the army of the coast: consisting of 5 divisions, under the generals St. Hilaire, Vandamme, Legrand, Suchot, and Hautpoul.
The French general etat major is composed of the marshal of the empire, inspectors, and general-colonels, generals of division, and generals of brigade. The adjutants commandants likewise, belong to it. The number of marshals is, at present 14; exclusive of the 4 senators who hold the rank of marshals it is limited at 16. The present marshals are, the minister at war, Berthier, prince Murat, Moncey, Jourdan, Massena, Augereau, Bernadotte, Soult, Brune, Lannes, Mortier, Ney, Davoust and Bessieres; the four senators, Kellermann, Lefebvre, Perignon, and Serurier. The number of generals of division amounts with the most recent appointments, to 124, and the class of generals of brigade is more than twice as numerous. They amount to 265. Eleven generals are at present without command and at the disposal of government; these are the marshal Massena, the generals of division Macdonald, Tharreau, Mollo, Carre St. Cyr, Clausel and Miollis; and the generals of brigade, Boyer, Harty, and Vonderwield. The number of adjutants commandants amounts to 120.
NEW-YORK, November 22.
It was a current report yesterday at the coffee house (but we have not been able to trace it to its origin, or to give any well founded opinion on its authenticity) that a private letter had been received in this city from the eastward, mentioning that lord Nelson had brought the combined fleet to an engagement off Cadiz, which was desperately fought on both sides, and terminated in the capture of 17 sail of French and Spanish vessels, and in the destruction, or disability of the remainder, and that lord Nelson, after being thrice taken to the cockpit to have his wounds dressed, received a shot in the breast as he sat in his chair on the quarter deck directing the engagement, and was killed. Such is the substance of the report to which we cannot at present attach the smallest degree of credit.

The ships Fairweather, from London, and Ceres, Webber, from Baltimore, anchored in Five Fathom Hole yesterday.
The brig Lioness, was captured in the bay of Mantanzas, a few hours after sailing by the privateers, Sarah Ann and George
and Phelia, of New Providence; all the crew except the captain, supercargo and boy, were taken out, and a prize master and 6 men put on board; a few day after they fell in with the British government schooner Decouvert, who impressed one man and put two others on board the brig in exchange; in consequence of which the prize master refused to continue in charge of the brig and surrendered her up to captain Carson, who has brought her into this port, to get fresh hands. The Lioness had been boarded previous to her capture, by the privateer Mars, captain Gibson, who suffered them to pass, after a strict examination.

Extract from the log book of the brig Samaritan's Hope, John Johnson, master, from Liverpool to this port.
August 22, at 6 P. M. in lat. 49 47 N. was brought to by his majesty's ship Brilliant, captain Barry, who sent his boat on board and impressed Jeremiah Brown—at ten returned him. On the 26th was brought to and boarded by the St. Peter privateer of Bordeaux. Captain Johnson, his mate & crew, except two men, were immediately sent on board the privateer, and his brig manned and taken possession of by a part of the crew of the privateer. Capt. Johnson shewed the French commander his papers, and made use of every means in his power to show that his vessel and cargo were American property; to all which the Frenchman replied "I do not care, the brig and cargo is a lawful prize." In the mean time several of the brig's stores were sent on board the privateer, and goods and arms belonging to the French were sent on board the brig. At 2 o'clock in the morning Johnson was called into the cabin, and questioned by the captain's clerk, who having finished interrogating captain Johnson, told him he would do all in his power for him; on which he went on deck, and after talking with the captain about half an hour, they called captain Johnson, and the captain told him, that as the brig's cargo was of little value in France, and he seemingly but a poor man and down hearted, he would make the brig and cargo a present to him. Captain Johnson, his crew and their effects were then sent on board his brig in the privateer's boat, and the French crew that had been sent on board the brig returned to the privateer, leaving captain Johnson in possession of the vessel and cargo, with liberty to proceed on his voyage. By the people in the privateer's boat which was continually going to and fro, the brig was robbed of stores, provisions and every thing else they could lay their hands on that was of any use. October 11, lat. 33, 21, was supplied with provisions by the schooner Citizen of Philadelphia. On the 24th at half past 2 P. M. saw the land, the weather thick and foggy, stood to the northward; at three a. m. sounded in six and a half fathoms water, and at a quarter past 3, in four fathoms, with the land close aboard. Finding that the vessel would not work owing to the strong tide and wind, and drifting fast upon the shore, we came to anchor with the small bower, and easily kept the pumps sucked, although sticking fast upon the ground. At day light a land breeze set in, and the tide lighted us up; we then thought proper for the future safety of the vessel to cut the cable and crowd all sail to get off the land, which was fortunately effected. The next day took a pilot & the day after came to an anchor, at Fort Johnson, the vessel making a great deal of water.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability, one of the professors in the seminary of science at Camden, S. C. to his sister in New London, communicated by Mr. James Buckley, merchant of New London.
"South Carolina has never perhaps, since its settlement witnessed so sickly a season as the last summer and the devouring pestilence still continues its alarming ravages; and it has not been confined to this state alone. Its desolating march has extended from Virginia to Georgia."
"I have however been so fortunate as to escape an attack from those dreadful fevers which prevail in this country; and I attribute my escape in a great measure to the extraordinary virtue of certain pills, manufactured by Doctor Lee of New London; the good effects of which in preventing those disorders which arise from bile, are certainly undoubted."
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated September 9, 1805.
"By our accounts from Alicante, I find that six new days were successively massacred at Algiers, also the Jews Bascary and Bossinaco, their families and other principal Jews. They wanted to proclaim the Michael Hodge as a seventh day, but he made his escape and got to Alicante."
Extract of a letter from a respectable merchant in London, dated September 10th, 1805.
"We note your harvest promised to be exceedingly abundant—we have the pleasure to say ours is equally so, and two thirds in barn, the weather still favorable. This has caused an amazing reduction of price in the market, the very finest wheat would not this day bring more than 75s to 76s per quarter. Flour of course in proportion. As soon as there is a certainty of the state of the markets in Europe, we will advise you for your government."
A friend has obligingly handed us a letter from an intelligent correspondent in London, dated the 19th September, from which we make the following extract.—It is confirmatory of the intelligence before received respecting the grounds upon which American property is condemned in the admiralty courts of Great Britain.—[U. S. Gaz.]
"On my arrival in this country, I found it making rapid preparations for a continental campaign, in which it is firmly believed she is to be seconded by Russia and other powers — which news you will no doubt have with you before this letter. Russia is certainly making formidable preparations, and has on foot an army of 200 000 men. This country is said to have ready about 50,000. Thus you see a few months have altered the posture of affairs, and the war which has so long been carried on without a blow, is likely to end in blood."
"I am sorry to tell you that this country has again commenced an attack upon our commerce, and that vessels are brought in here every day which are bound to the continent, and even some bound to this very country. As you will hear this business variously stated, and the grounds upon which these captures take place differently explained, I think it well to state to you the information I have received not an hour ago from a person who has business at the fountain head."
"The cause of capture is from a decision which took place a few weeks ago on a vessel which was captured last war, and the principle is, that the Americans shall not in time of war enjoy a trade which they cannot in time of peace, that is, they shall not go from an enemy's colony to an enemy's port, or even that the same vessel after having arrived in America from an enemy's colony, shall not reload the same cargo in the same vessel, and proceed to another port in Europe, as this is contended not to be a new voyage, but a continuation of the old one. A merchant therefore to be safe, must on arrival of property in the United States sell it to another, and let him ship it (if it be not shipped) in another vessel."
"A vessel from Philadelphia, the John Bulkeley, belonging to Mr. Waln, was tried upon this principle a few days since, but the judge has not yet given his decision on the legality of the voyage; it is supposed it will be given to-morrow. From what I have heard, and I have had it from good authority, I am induced to believe she will be acquitted—not I believe however without paying expenses. The proof adduced in her favor is her cargo having been advertised for sale in America
previous to the commencement of the present voyage, and that a continuance of it was not contemplated. The decision on this case will be in some measure satisfactory, but it will not settle the point; which is, whether we can reload the same cargo in the same vessel for the same account and ship it in safety."
Extracts from the Moniteur, and from the Imperial Journal, or Journal des Debats, to the 18th of September.
Every thing appears to foretell a war between Austria and this country. The Austrians, commanded by the Emperor in person, who has under his orders the Archdukes Charles and John, a likewise General Mark, have established their camp at Insbruck, in Tyrol. This camp is composed of at least 130,000 men. The Czar of Russia, who appears to have hostile intentions against France, as his ambassador count Novosilzoff, who was on his way, as was said to commence an amicable negotiation, on hearing that the republics of Genoa, Lucque and Italy, had solicited to be under the immediate domination of the French government, immediately returned to St. Peterburgh: We read in several German Gazettes, that the Czar has positively given orders for a body of troops of 50,000 men, to march through Sweden Pomerania, which he has bought from the King of Sweden, who it is reported is also in the league. This army is to be conducted over the Emperor's dominions, by one of his old and experienced Generals, and to join his army at Insbruck. Our Emperor, always vigilant for the safety of his subjects, has had the camp of Boulogne broken up, and the army marched in the same order which it held in the Camp: so that on its arrival on the theatre of war, the troops will be already disposed for entering the field, if necessity requires it. An army never was in a good order, and more impetuous for fighting than this, composed of 140,000 of the most valiant warriors of the Empire. Our beloved Emperor will command our brave army, under him Massena, and some of our most distinguished and experienced generals.
It is generally supposed in France, that the intention of the French Emperor, is to demand an immediate explanation, and if not satisfactory, to begin his operations without hesitation.
The King of Persia, Fathall Shah, has gained a complete victory over the Russians in Georgia, who were obliged to fly, leaving 6,000 of dead in the field.
* One easily perceives that it is a Frenchman who speaks, for it is more probable that the Republics were forced to put themselves under the French dominion than to have solicited it.

FOR SALE BY
JAMES KENNEDY, JUN.
DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY
THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for relieving weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bileous Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bileous and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bileous Cholic, Catarrhous, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, Jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Bileous Pills, or Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bileous bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste.
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad breath. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is nearly put up in powder boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders.
A medicine which for efficacy and safety in its operation stands unrivalled. The most authenticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astounding virtues, and surprising effects, in extreme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale. Price 50 cents a packet.
