FOREIGN NEWS.
From papers received at the office of the Federal Gazette, by the Abona, captain Hobson from Liverpool.
(CONTINUED)
Extract from a paper entitled, "Remarks on the plan of operations proposed by Austria."
The plan which the cabinet of Vienna, has transmitted to that of St. Petersburg, presents a new proof of the intimate confidence mutually subsisting between the two imperial courts; and if the war now undertaken to check and restrain the ambition of Bonaparte shall terminate happily, its success must be owing to the continuation of that confidence. Upon this principle we shall without dissembling any difficulty, offer our remarks upon the plan article by article, in order to obviate as much as possible, the difficulties apprehended by the Austrian cabinet.
The plan begins with stating as a fact, "the real forces of the French amount upon the new organization to 598,084 men, with the addition of those which are at the disposal of the French government, to 651,961 men." The cabinet of St. Petersburg has reason to believe that the French army is far from being complete on its new organization, in consequence of the difficulty which the French government has to surmount, and notwithstanding the violent means which it is obliged to use, to muster the French conscripts, who arrive in all possible ways to avoid the service.
Besides, though the English should be unable to effect any disembarkations on the French coast, sufficient for the prosecution of regular war within France, they may, nevertheless, occupy a considerable number of the French troops by menacing a descent on all the accessible points; on the Lower Elbe, on the Weser, on the coast of Holland, Flanders, France and Italy. The French, in short, must be naturally obliged to divide their strength, and distribute their forces for the defence of every assailable point of their possessions.
It follows, that the French can never be in a condition to oppose so many as 500,000 men to the operations of the powers of the coalition, and that a deduction of perhaps one third of their forces may be confidently reckoned upon. The disproportion of 220,000 Austrians and 115,000 Russians to the French troops which can be brought against them, will be there fore less considerable than it has been supposed.
From the unfavorable calculation of the relative forces of France and the allies, which is presented in the plan of the court of Vienna, the following conclusions have been drawn:
1. That the local advantages which France enjoys by its geographical position, whether for defence or for aggression, are such, that it is desirable to remain at peace till a more favorable conjuncture of affairs."
This reasoning would be solid and just, if it were probable that any more favorable conjuncture of affairs should hereafter arise; if the court of Vienna could in the meanwhile prepare and augment its forces, and if, the state of things should in other respects remain unaltered.
But, while Europe temporizes, Bonaparte's government acquires every day new stability. His power increases by the subjugation and new organization of all Lombardy and Parma. The relative geographical advantages can undergo no change favorable to Austria; but in fact, the contrary. Besides, there can be nothing more dangerous than the policy of the French government, which has ever gained more by negotiations than by its arms. If we enumerate the battles of the last war, the French lost as many as they gained. It is always in the intervals between one great period and another, in seasons of sincere, nominal peace, that they enlarge their dominions.
We are therefore firmly persuaded, that the court of Vienna, if it would consult its own true interests, should not hesitate to renew the war as speedily as possible, and ought to make every effort to prevent Bonaparte from consolidating his power. Assured of the assistance of Russia and England, when shall it find a conjuncture more favorable?
The second thing assumed as a conclusion in the Austrian plan is, "that if war be inevitable, the allied courts ought to act with the most vigorous efforts of which they are capable." In this, the court of Vienna has formed a just opinion. But it errs, in supposing for a moment, that it
would be left alone in the midst of the contest. The good faith and honor of his majesty the emperor of Russia, are too well known to admit a shadow of mistrust upon this head.
After this conclusion in the plan, are mentioned three things, the co-operation of which is requisite, in order to bring forward those great energies which are necessary to the success of the alliance, namely, the military arrangements, and the general policy.
1. "It is stated, that military efforts would be of no avail, if the Austrian armies should enter the field less than 300,000 strong."
We entertain too high an opinion of the resources of the court of Vienna, to doubt that the Austrian army may be put in a short time upon such a respectable footing as to enter the field in sufficient force. Being in alliance with Russia, and certain of the good faith of that power, it will have only France to oppose, and will not be under any great necessity of maintaining a force to observe Prussia.
It is very true, that the French, as soon as they shall see war to be inevitable, will put themselves in motion; and that Austria will have to sustain their first attack till the Russians join them. But, as the Russian troops are ready to march, a body of them may be detached immediately, which shall advance by forced marches to assist in the protection of the house of Austria, and to resist the first impetuosity of the torrent.
2. The finances are next mentioned in the plan. The difficulty in regard to them must be in a great measure removed by the subsidy from England. Besides, it is certainly to be expected, that in this, as in what regards the completion of the army, the court of Vienna will not fail to employ all its means and resources.
The contingent of Russia would be on the whole, 115,000 men. Deducting 25 thousand for the kingdom of Naples, there would remain 90,000 to act in Germany, which might be conveniently formed into two armies, one of 50,000 men to assemble on the frontiers of Galicia, opposite to Lemberg; the other of 40,000, to assemble along the Boug, opposite Lublin.
The first of these armies might, upon the first appearance of hostilities, detach the column mentioned, which should march across Galicia towards the Danube, to assist in opposing the first attempts of the French upon the hereditary dominions in Germany, when it should have arrived in the vicinity of Ratisbon; its subsequent movements would be determined by the condition of the Austrian army.
The rest of the Russian army should follow immediately, in order to reach its destination with the smallest possible loss of time.
The other army would march by Lublin and Cracow.
It were to be wished that we should know what routes the court of Vienna would particularly desire that these two armies should take. In all cases, their marches should be respectively so arranged, that they may not meet at Teschen.
As to their operations, the first might be employed on the left bank of the Danube, in communication with the Austrians upon the opposite bank, having its left upon Donauwerth.
The second army, upon arriving in Bohemia, would proceed into Franconia, or wherever the state of affairs should require its presence.
The court of Petersburg is about to send a confidential person to Paris, to make a last endeavor to persuade Bonaparte to listen to reasonable conditions. Should these be accepted, it may prevent the war. But, in the mean time, nothing is to be neglected; for it is certain, that we shall succeed only in proportion as we put ourselves in a respectable position. And we ought to be ready to begin the moment the negotiation terminates.
The reasonings suggested upon the probable progress of the military operations, appear to proceed upon very salutary and judicious views. It is agreed, that any operations against the frontiers of France, along the Rhine, whether below or above Mentz, would be attended with great difficulty. It is rather on the Italian line that the first success is to be expected. It is consequently toward that quarter that the principal efforts ought to be directed. All this part of the plan must be allowed to be perfectly well arranged.
Copy of a dispatch from the count de Rasoumofski dated at Vienna, the 29th April—11th May, 1805.
Since the creation of the council of war, I have this day to mention its first meeting, which directed to other details than those of the administration, at length presents an object worthy of
attention. The conferences took place in the presence of his majesty the emperor, on Monday and Tuesday last. The committee was composed of the two archdukes Charles and John, the president and vice-president of the council, and quarter master general Mack. The question submitted to their deliberation turned on the probable increase of the French forces in Italy; on the imminent danger which thence resulted to the frontiers of the hereditary states; on the rapidity with which, from the first hostile determination of Bonaparte, they would be attacked; and on the absolute impossibility of resistance. This situation was deliberately considered, and it was unanimously decided, even with the consent of the archduke Charles that it was necessary to reinforce the troops in that quarter. This point being settled, the necessary details will be arranged in consequence; and I lose no time in forwarding to you the most important of their resolutions.
Extract from a Memoir on the Situation of Affairs communicated by count Stahremberg.
Never were hopes, founded on the most salutary views and plans, destroyed by a more fatal blow than the disastrous reverse which our army in Germany has experienced by concourse of unfortunate circumstances, the consequence of a single fault.
The simultaneous co-operation of the two imperial courts of England and Russia should have offered, at the commencement of the war, a chain of armed forces from the north to the south, and should have obliged France by mutual diversions to separate hers. It was our first misfortune, that none of the hopes we had placed in diversions on the north of the Continent, which might have obliged the emperor of France to divide the troops that he had withdrawn from his coasts were realized; and not only all the troops were able to be employed against our army in Germany, but even the Gallo Batavian army, and that of Bernadotte, could quit Hanover and Holland also, without impediment to join in the attack. It is to this circumstance that the French superiority of their numbers; for deducing these two armies, the troops arrived from the interior in the course of the month of October, have but little exceeded the number of Austrian troops, placed on the Iller, where, in the strong position which they occupied, they would have been able to await the junction, of the first army of his majesty the emperor of Russia. There was even a moment when they had the hope of preventing the junction of the French troops from the North with those arrived from the interior of France, by falling on a party of the latter; when, as a second misfortune, the violation of the Prussian neutrality suddenly changed the face of affairs, and reduced our German army to the alternative, either to fall back immediately on the Inn, or see itself surrounded and destroyed.
The retreat on the Inn should have prevented every disagreeable consequence. Joined to the body of the army under the general in chief, De Kutusow, these troops would have been sufficient to resist the limited French forces; the subsequent arrival of the second Russian army, and finally the development of other measures of the coalition, might have procured to the allied troops that superiority of force which had been absolutely depended on in the mutual engagements.
Through the inconceivable fault of a general chosen for a reputation gained by former successes, the army of Germany remained on the Iller; and in the course of a few days, without having been beaten, after some slight actions in which it had rather the advantage than the disadvantage, the greater part of the army was taken, and the remainder dispersed. All the following misfortunes were the inevitable consequences of this disaster.
The united French forces in Germany alone exceeding, without the allied troops, 110,000 men, advanced against the Austro-Russian troops posted on the Inn, which amounted to little more than half of that number. To expose these troops to a regular combat against a force double their number, would have been to risk the ruin of them, before the arrival of the second army of his majesty the emperor of Russia; it would have been to commit the same fault that had just lost our army of Germany. On the contrary to preserve the first Russian army entire, until the arrival of the second, became the principal object of the dispositions, which were concerted by his majesty in person with the general in chief Kutusow.
To complete our disappointment, the arrival of the second Russian army was delayed more than a month, by the armaments which the court of Berlin threatened to oppose to those of the court of Petersburg. The troops, therefore, under generals de Meerfeldt and Kutusow, unable to maintain a position on the Inn, or in any other part of Austria, where obliged to fall back upon Moravia. The inevitable consequence of this movement was the progressive advance of the enemy in Upper and Lower Austria. Having reached the last bridge on the Danube above Vienna, near Krems, the Russian army had no other alternative than to pass it, in order to avoid being cut off from the left bank, and
from their route into Moravia. From that moment, the fate of the capital of Austria was decided, considering the impossibility of defending it, within the walls, unless the time necessary for the arrival of the reinforcements could be gained by means of an armistice for a very short period. Many reasons concurred to render his majesty desirous of saving his capital by such an armistice; he therefore determined to send lieutenant general Count de Guilsy to the emperor Napoleon, to propose it. The negotiation was without effect.
Vienna was occupied by the French; and his majesty thought by the sacrifice of his capital, at least to have ensured to the first Russian army, the facility of forming a junction with the second. To this effect, he gave the most positive orders, that the great bridge in front of Vienna should be destroyed, whereby, four or five days march would have been gained to the general in chief Kutusow. Prince Murat, however, deceived the person to whom this charge was entrusted, by the unworthy falsehood that peace was just concluded between Austria and France, and he thus prevented the demolition of that bridge. This cruel incident exposed the first Russian army to the most imminent danger of being surrounded and destroyed, before it could join the army of general Buxhoevden, as well as a corps of 10,000 Austrians that had retreated from Vienna.
If had this misfortune happened, the continuation of the war would have been evidently impossible. The destruction of the first army of his majesty the emperor of Russia would have infallibly led to that of the second and of every subsequent reinforcement, successively and separately attacked by the great forces which Napoleon had assembled in Austria; while the army, commanded by the archduke Charles in Italy, must also have been ruined by these forces united to those of Massena. In a word, the danger was so critical, that had there been no other means of preventing it, his majesty would have been obliged to sign a precipitate peace, unfavorable indeed to himself, but inevitable, from motives which would have been but too justifiable in the eyes of his allies.
The impossibility of prolonging the war—the necessity of saving of the monarchy—the general interest of Europe, and even of England, required him to insure the existence of the Austrian monarchy, rather than continue a war from which nothing could be expected but an issue still more unfortunate. In short the sacred duties by which his majesty was bound to his noble and faithful friend, the emperor Alexander; duties which he shared with every well disposed sovereign, and which imposed upon him the obligation of preferring every sacrifice to the destruction, as certain as it was useless, of the brave and well appointed armies which Russia was pouring forth to his assistance.
In this extremity his majesty did not hesitate to enter into new explanations with the emp. Napoleon, and to propose to open negotiations with him for peace, as soon as measures to this effect might be concerted with the emperor Alexander, whom his majesty expected to see immediately in person.
But happily these dangers and necessities are no more. General Kutusow and Buxhoevden have surmounted the difficulties which threatened to prevent the seasonable junction of the forces under their command. This mission of the Austrian envoys has been accompanied with the resumption of active hostilities. On the 27th of November the day after they quitted the camp, the combined armies concentrated in the environs of Olmutz consisting of the first and second Russian armies, with a body of twenty thousand Austrians, comprehending also for their rear guard the imperial life guards ten thousand strong, and making in all an effective strength of eighty thousand fighting men, advanced towards Wischaw, and had taken in that city and its environs more than six hundred prisoners. On the 29th and 30th they continued their march to Austerlitz, on the way to Nikolsbourg.

A gentleman who arrived in the ship United States, informs us, that Mr. Senator Wright's oil reached London the latter part of January, and excited general consternation among the merchants trading to this country. So great indeed were they embarrassed by it, and which was their confidence shaken, that it was expected many orders for goods would be left unexecuted, at least till the political horizon had cleared up a little. We learn from another quarter, that they had come to a determination to accept no bills from this country for a greater amount than the funds in hand. If, therefore, any of our merchants should be disappointed in their supplies; if their customers have to pay more than usual for their goods; if the government finds its revenue fall a million or two short; they will know the source.

Extract of a letter from Frankfort (Ken.) dated March 3, to a gentleman in Philadelphia. It is only three or four days since I returned from Upper Louisiana, where I have been for about two months past. The whole territory of Louisiana is in perfect confusion and partyism. A great many of the citizens of that country are inimical to Gen. Wilkinson as their governor in consequence of which the whole country is in an uproar.
From the United States Gazette. COMMUNICATION.
The news received this day of the Leander's arriving at Jaquemel, so far from diminishing, rather confirms the hostile intentions of Miranda against the province of Caracas. The ship Emperor commanded by a brother of captain Lewis, of the Leander, sailed from New York some weeks before from Port-au-Prince, with arms and other implements of war, similar to those shipped in the Leander, and with a considerable number of volunteers, with the intention we understand of disembarking some mulattoes at Port au Prince, and of sailing with this reinforcement on the intended expedition. We suspect that Dessalines has had wind of their scheme, as it is known that the Emperor was not admitted to an entry, and that all communication between this vessel and the shore was cut off. The small distance across the Isthmus, between Jaquemel where Miranda had anchored, to Port au Prince where the Emperor lies, will facilitate the uniformity of the plans and operations of the two vessels; but as in the interval necessary to verify their junction news may have reached Miranda that his plans and destination were known to the Spanish minister and of his having sent pilot boats to Caracas with the information; we shall not be surprised if Miranda is staggered and gives up his nefarious attempt.
In regard to our government, and its knowledge of Miranda's intentions and armament; we shall abstain from particular comments, and shall only observe that General Dearborn's letter has not in the least contributed to alter our opinion on this subject; even admitting that it were that administration were unacquainted with the particulars of the armament of the Leander, we ask if they were not very well acquainted with Miranda's hostile views against the province of Caracas, and of his intention of fitting out an expedition from the ports of the United States? If this is true, and Mr. Madison's answer on the reception of Mr. Vansittart's letter will prove it so, what are we to think of the vigilance of our administration and their delicacy in regard to their foreign relations? It should have been expected that Miranda, or any other individual, whose intentions were known to be to violate the laws, ought to have been bound over on good behavior. It might have been also expected that his motions would be watched, his steps followed, and that particular care and vigilance recommended to the collectors and other federal officers in the United States. Nothing of this appears to have been done. Miranda fitted out his vessel in a manner to excite the attention and curiosity of many individuals, but they could not find a satisfactory explanation of these events because they had not that previous information of Miranda's intentions, which it appears that Mr. Madison and even the president had. Under the existing circumstances the attempt to excuse
the administration, through ignorance, respecting the armament of the Leander, when it is understood they had already information of Miranda's hostile intentions, would be like the excuse of the police, on any murder or conflagration being committed under a plea of ignorance respecting the particular poignard or torch employed in the execution of these premeditated acts, previously known to it.
Mr. Ogden's journey to Washington, a few days since, his interviews with Mr. Madison, and the mysterious secrecy of their results, at the present time, are by no means calculated to inspire much confidence; neither are the quibbling contradictory rumors respecting col. Smith's removal. If administration is obliged to be just, they do not labor under a less obligation to appear so.
The following is the residue of the SECRET JOURNAL of the House of Representatives (for which we had not room in our last paper) which is now completely published, so far as the injunction of secrecy is removed. We understand that no authority has been given to publish the letter of the secretary of war referred to in the report made by Mr. J. Randolph. Our readers will perceive that the whole of the proceedings, so far as relates to the measures adopted, were inserted in our last; and that the following proceedings are merely on incidental points. [Nat. Intel.]
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Thursday, February 6.

DIED this morning, at his country seat, in an advanced stage of life, CHARLES ALEXANDER, Sen. Esq.
A panegyric on the virtues of this gentleman would be highly unnecessary, as his whole life exhibits a sufficient demonstration of the excellence of his principles and the purity of his intentions. His family must long remember the domestic endearments of an affectionate husband, and a tender, solicitous father. The morality of his character has never been questioned — his faults were always forgotten when the brilliancy of his virtues was considered — his hospitality, his honor, and honesty demand the undisputed praise of every candid man, of every lover of virtue, and well-wisher of society. His lingering and severe disease afforded him an ample opportunity of exerting the heroism of his christianity: he resigned his well-spent life into the hands of that beneficent Creator from whom he received it!
The Subscriber has been admitted to the Bar of the Circuit Court held in Alexandria, and wishes to practice therein. FRANCIS L. LEE. April 5.

Rich Kanahwa Bottom Lands, For Sale or Exchange.
THE Subscriber offers for sale, or exchange for lands or other real property on the east side of the Blue Ridge, about 7000 acres of RICH BOTTOM LAND, on the Great Kanahwa River, and on both sides thereof opposite and below the mouth of Pickett's Creek, in the state of Virginia, 25 miles from Point Pleasant, (in the county town of Mason county) and 12 miles from the town of Kanahwa county, and adjoining the lands of the late General Washington. They were surveyed at the same time with those lands in the year 1772, and are held under the same titles, viz. Old Military Rights—which are unquestionable.
The Lands are of the very first quality, the Bottoms in many places a mile wide; they have been lately resurveyed and divided into lots containing from 150 to 350 acres each, for the accommodation of purchasers, each lot fronting on the river, and extending back from thence to the hills, which afford a most extensive range for stock, which can never be interrupted. One hundred acres therefore of this rich bottom, with its advantages, would make a good settlement. The great [Virginia] state road leading to the states of Ohio and Kentucky, passes by and through these lands, which being on a fine navigable river will command a ready and high price for the produce to the emigrants to the western country both by land and water. Their situation, besides, gives their occupants choice of the eastern or western markets, as produce may be found most profitable. The climate is mild and remarkably favorable to the production of fruit—Salt works are erected on the banks of the river but a few miles above these lands, and the neighborhood furnishes abundance of iron, coal, limestone, mills and mill seats; so that there is no part of the western country which holds out more advantages to persons desirous of emigrating.
A more particular description of these lands, with plots of the several lots, their situation, description and price, may be had by application in Alexandria, to Mr. WILLIAM CRAIK, who attended the surveying of them, or to the subscriber.

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 restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittant Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Billious 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 Billious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Billious Cholic, Colic, &c. 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 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, headaches, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti billious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.

Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave, named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the middle ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lally and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Cox, at Port Tobacco. G. B. Caufin.
