I HAVE MIRA invited to share the lone cot, That stands at the foot of yon hill, Where the Oak's spreading branches o'er- shade the cool grot, And murmuring runs the clear hill.
In front lies a lawn dotted o'er with sheep, Beyond an impervious grove, Where the breath of mild Zephyr enco- rages sleep, And Turtles proclaim endless love.
The fruits of the garden best fitted for use, In grateful abundance are found, While Flora in all her attractions profuse, Perfumes the mild air all around.

Such beauties as promis'd the most to invite, What most, I have hear'd her approve, Arrang'd is with care, and I hope, to delight, Since the lesson was given by love.
O may the spot to my bosom so dear, By her presence, with blessings encrease; It needs but her smile, that my cot should appear, The mansion of rapture and peace. ALFRED.
BATTLE OF WAGRAM.
The following is the Austrian official ac- count of the battle of Wagram, as publish- ed in the Austrian Gazettes, dated from the head quarters of the Archduke Charles the 29th of July.
Scarcely had the morning of the 6th began to break, when the enemy's army, composed of a force which, since the ear- liest times, has perhaps never collected in one point, appeared at the distance of a long cannon shot.
It was estimated at from 140 to 130,000 men. According to the latest statements of the emperor Napoleon himself, and his generals, it consisted of 180,000 combatants. On the part of the imperial Austrians, not quite 100,000 men were in the field on the day of battle. The attack began with a brisk cannonade all along the line, which the enemy answered by a far superior num- ber of ordnance, and kept up till night, without interruption. The right wing of the Austrians made the most splendid pro- gress. Adlaklaa was taken, and the enemy driven from Russenbrunn, Breitenley, and Herschstellen.
The enemy's cavalry on the left wing was completely routed, and field marshal lieut. Klenau, with six corps which he command- ed in the room of field marshal lieut. Hiller, who was taken ill, penetrated on the ene- my's left flank, as far as Aspern, Esslin- gen, and the town of Enzersdorf; made himself master of our entrenchments which we had abandoned the day before, took ten pieces of cannon, and some thousand pri- soners, besides one eagle and several stands of colors. In the mean time, the French centre, where the emperor Napoleon was, did not move from the spot of Roschdorf; it was stationed there in several ranks, con- sisting of upwards of 60,000 men strong, and continually lengthened its right wing, opposite the left of the Austrians, till the latter was quite overwhelmed about noon by a mass of artillery. The corps which had been expected from Marchick did not arrive, and it was easy for the enemy to outflank our left wing; their violent cross- fire soon silenced our batteries.
Our 4th corps, which was placed on our extreme left was repulsed, and the heights in that quarter occupied by the enemy.
By this, the corps in the centre was not only prevented from undertaking the attack against Roschdorf, but was itself overwhelm- ed and forced to retreat to the causeway of Brunn, while the enemy had already gain- ed Poksteis, and Enzersdorf, and was threatening the road to Walkersdorf, in the rear of the imperial royal army. Night put an end to the action. In the battle, nine pieces of cannon were lost, in the retreat none, and ten pieces of cannon, were carri- ed off. The archduke John arrived in the afternoon near Siebenbrunn after the battle was decided, and then went back again be- hind the March.
The army continued its retreat till the 9th on the Prague road, as far as Ounters- dorf. The rear had obstinate engagements daily, during which Korninburg and Hol- lenbrunn took fire, and the army was always ready for battle.
On the 11th, shortly before sunset, in the hottest of the action, when both armies were far the most part drawn up by facing one another, a formal conference took place, af- ter some mutual messages, and at last a temporary armistice, the want of which was equally felt by both armies, after an un- interrupted conflict of upwards of 8 days, and being overcome with fatigue. In con- sequence of this an armistice was concluded on the 12th, by which hostilities are sus- pended for 4 weeks, and 14 days notice is to be given before breaking it. The Aus- trian army has taken a retrograde position in Moravia, and the adjoining districts of Bohemia, to enjoy some repose after the unheard of toils of the last eight days.
SPANISH NEWS.
[Translated from Spanish papers to the 19th of August--received at the office of the New-York Gazette.]
Gazette of the Government, 15th Aug.
The extraordinary Gazette of the 8th in- stant, contains an account of the glorious defence which our troops made on the 5th, on the banks of the Tagus at Aranjuez, a- gainst the repeated attacks of the enemy.-- The government has now the satisfaction of publishing the circumstances of that brilliant action, in which the discipline, valor and enthusiasm of the defenders of their coun- try were so much distinguished. The whole nation will pay them the merited tri- bute of praise and gratitude, on reading the following official letter from General Don Francisco Venegas to the minister of war.
Most Excellent Sir,
At half after five in the afternoon of the 4th, I received a letter from the captain general Don Gregorio de la Cuesta, in which he communicated to me his determi- nation to march on the night of the 5th, and follow the English army which had march- ed at day-break, in order to form a junction with it and face that of Soult which was ad- vancing towards Plasencia. I immediately fore-saw that my army would be attacked, as soon as Joseph Napoleon and Victor who were in Illescas and Maqueda, the former with 16,000 men, and the latter with 10,000 should be informed of that movement. That expectation made me go to Aranjuez at day-break on the 5th, accompanied by the principal officers of the artillery and engi- neers, with several officers belonging to my staff, for the purpose of examining the po- sition of these divisions, and pointing out the places which they ought to occupy in order to improve the advantages of the ground.
The brigadier Lacy whose division form- ed the van at the bridge Largo, had two leagues to march in order to repass the Ta- gus at the bridge de la Reyna, the only one fit to cross, and it being easy for the enemy to cut off that division, I immediately di- rected, that, leaving there a body of caval- ry, he should fall back and post himself in the twelve streets. I there determined that in case of attack he should occupy the ridge of hills contiguous to Ontigola, which be- gins at Mount Farnassus, and that the pas- sage of the river should be defended to the last extremity. These measures being tak- en, the only ones then required by the cir- cumstances, I returned to my head-quar- ters. But scarcely had three hours elapsed, when I received intelligence from brigadier Don Pedro Agustín Giron, who by sen- iority commanded the three divisions, that they had just seen columns of the enemy's infantry, cavalry and artillery, upon the bridge Largo, some having already crossed it; and I successively received accounts of the increase of their numbers, and that near the ford of Anover a great cloud of dust was seen; from all which circumstances I entertained no doubt but that the enemy intended a serious attack, and supposed that he had been joined in our rear by troops from Toledo, or the ford of Anover. To guard against all those dangers, I directed Giron to cause Lacy immediately to repass the Tagus, and destroy the bridge de la Reyna, to occupy the above mentioned po- sition on the hills of Ontigola, and that af- ter defending vigorously the passage of the river and the other positions, should mis- fortune oblige him to retreat, it should be towards Ocaná, to which place I caused the fourth division to march and post itself in the heights which are on the left of the road to Aranjuez, with the triple object of assisting that place, if necessary, favor- ing the retreat of those troops in case of misfortune, and resisting the expected at- tack from Toledo or Anover, sending part of his cavalry towards that ford, to ob- serve the troops which were reported to be there, and oppose their passage. These
arrangements, having been made, the at- tack took place, of which the following is the account given by the brigadier Don Pedro Agustín Giron. Most excell- ent Sir, On the morning of the 5th, being at Al- juez, and having the command, owing to my seniority of the first, second and third divisions of this army, the first division posted at the bridge Largo over the river Xarama, in pursuance of your excellency's positive orders, began to retire from that point, and at the same instant a strong corps of the enemy's cavalry appeared on the ri- de la Reyna, which charged the advanced guard of the division at that place; but well that part as the remainder of the divi- sion continued its march with its accus- ed gallantry and coolness.
The enemy advanced, and the division repassed the Tagus at the bridge of de la Reyna, and seeing a great number of the enemy's troops descending the hills of the same name, and no longer doubting but that his intention was to attack us, I ordered the bridge to be broken down, and took such measures as I thought most suitable for the defence of our important post. The brigadier Don Louis Lacy, with the first division under his command, was rightly posted on some heights which protected the defence of the bridge de la Reyna; the troops of the second and third division were distributed at the other points.
(In the original is a long description of the manner in which the different corps were posted, which we omit as it would be unintelligible without a very minute local knowledge of the field of battle.)
These arrangements being made, the ene- my appeared at half past two in the after- noon on the right bank of the river, and be- gan to engage with a division of the third company of Sappers which hastened to meet them in the garden of the infant Don An- tonio, and a moment afterwards with the whole regiment of Velez Malaga. In a short time the artillery commenced firing and the action became more general; the principal attack of the enemy being on the left, I ordered the first battalion of royal Spanish guards to go and assist the regi- ment of Velez Malaga, which after the ex- ample of its brave colonel was fighting with the greatest obstinacy. The battalion of guards commanded by the captain of gren- adiers Ferrer, and led by the major general of division under my command, the lieu- col. Don Jose Martinez de San Martin, marched to its post, exposed (rather than make a short circuit) to a shower of grape shot, which though it wounded the lieu- col. D. Fernando Salamanca and several soldiers, did not in the smallest degree alter the tranquil and intrepid march of his corps at all times undaunted.
The enemy's fire became more and more brisk, and ours was in no respect inferior; the excellent regiment of Eija stationed on the bridge Verde, fired with an ardor and celerity, which merited the praise and admiration of all brave men. The artillery with that superiority which they have al- ready acquired over that of the enemy enga- ged with it, almost within pistol shot; the regiment of Alpujarras and three compa- nies of Sappers sustained with the greatest tranquility the heavy fire of the enemy's cannon, and with that of their muskets pu- nished the temerity of those who advanced. The regiments which defended the bridge de la Reyna bravely sustained the attack.
Such determined resistance in all quarters made the enemy give way, but a moment afterwards they again renewed the charge with more vigor upon the left and all the other points; but they met with equal valor in the defence. A seven inch howitzer, commanded by lieut. Don Juan Sequeda, was sent to the bridge Verde, and circum- stances rendered it necessary for him and his men to pass between two fires in order to arrive as soon as possible at the place of his destination, which he did without hesi- tation with an intrepidity which does as much honor to that officer, as to the highly respectable corps in which he serves. The battery of the bridge of Barcas was re- forced by an eight pounder from the second division, and its brave commander captain Don Miguel Antonio Panes having been mortally wounded, the command was taken by lieut. col. Don Gaspar Hermosa, who had accompanied Sequeda in the dangerous transportation of the howitzer to the battery of Saroas, with unequalled bravery and skill; nor must it be forgotten that in the interval of half an hour between the wound- ing of Panes and the arrival of Hermosa, the battery was commanded by corporal Vicente Navarro, who kept up the fire with- out abatement, twice silencing the enemy's artillery in presence of the commandant of the division, lieut. col. Don Alexandro Car- bia, and particularly distinguishing himself. Another seven inch howitzer, placed in the grove which looks towards the islet, oppo- site to the road to the bridge Verde, did much damage to the enemy.

The brigadier Don Luis Lacy, commandant of the first division, as soon as he observed the terrible attack of the enemy upon our left, being well assured that the post he occupied was safe, of his own accord took the honorable resolution of flying to our assistance with the division under his command.
Seven companies of the regiment of Alpujarras were sent to the bridge of Verde, the companies of grenadiers and chasseurs remaining at important points in the gardens of the prince.
The regiment of Ronda commanded by its colonel Don Joaquin Virues, had been sent to the garden of the infant Don Antonio, where it distinguished itself; the fire was most intense, the artillery and infantry fought with obstinacy, the cavalry commanded by that old and distinguished officer Don Diego Ballesteros, suffering with the greatest coolness the fire to which it was exposed, plainly shewed that it was ready to make the last effort, should circumstances require it; the greatest order and the tranquility of true courage reigned in all parts in the midst of the most dreadful fire, till at length the enemy, convinced that they could not overcome such firmness, and tired of an incessant and bloody combat, desisted from their enterprize, and retired, when it grew dark, from all points.
It is impossible for me to depict to your excellency the enthusiasm and intrepidity of the troops, who, in the midst of an intense fire, shouted the name of our beloved sovereign at the moment most suitable to a nation which is brave and ardently desirous of glory.
(Here follow the names of many officers who distinguished themselves. Vanegas's letter thus concludes.)
The loss which we have sustained in this action is 200 killed and wounded; and that of the enemy, according to the information we have received, 300 killed, and about 1000 wounded.
God preserve your excellency many years.

Alexandria Daily Gazette. MONDAY, OCTOBER 16.
MR. SNOWDEN, ON my arrival here I notice in your paper of 26th ult. a publication extracted from a Norfolk paper of the 19th, stating the arrival of the British schooner Margaret, R. Crookshanks, master, from St. Johns (N. B.) bound to Jamaica, in distress—and having "on the 11th, lat. 36, 15, spoke the schr. Fame, of Alexandria, from St. Bartholomews bound to New-York, who neither offered assistance, nor asked if we wanted any; but made sail and left us."—In answer thereto please insert the following affidavit.
T. SKINNER, Master of the schr. Fame. Alex. 14th Oct. 1809.
JOHN GIRD, part owner, THEODORE SKINNER, master, and JOHN GILPIN, mate, of the schooner Fame, personally appeared and made oath, that being on board said schooner on a voyage from St. Bartholomews to New-York, on the 11th September last, lat. 36, 10, a wreck was discovered, which we bore for, expressly to relieve—When near enough, T. Skinner first hailed, enquired her name, and the cause of her distress, and was answered, "The British schooner Margaret, R. Crookshanks, master, from St. Johns to Jamaica, dismasted about a fortnight before in a heavy gale" On asking if the wreck was tight, answered, perfectly so—and from captain Crookshanks' enquiry recommended the Capes of Virginia as the best to steer for, being then supposed in the the inner edge of the Gulph Stream, and the wind favorable. Captain Crookshanks then requested if we met a pilot-boat to inform of their situation, which was promised—and no further assistance being asked, we proceeded on our voyage. Sworn before me, at Alexandria, 14th October, 1809.

Wm. C. NEWTON. DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your fine cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after ub-ling a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.

I WISH to sell, the unexpired lease of 3 years, from the 10th day of December next, in the elegant and commodious HOTEL I now occupy in Alexandria. This establish-ment is justly celebrated as affording the best accomodations on the continent, and to a man of attention and abilities in the line of his pro-fession, cannot fail to yield a handsome for-tune. The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove, that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States.
Attached to the tavern, is a well conducted coffee house, supported by a respectable sub-scription.
Together with an insurance office.
There are at present twenty four yearly boarders of the first respectability, in the hotel. The whole house is elegantly furnished, and to a person who takes the lease, the great-er part of the furniture will be sold on the most reasonable terms.

The following highly valuable Medi-cines,
Price 3 dollars per bottle. Dr. Jebb's Nature's Restorative
A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial so justly celebrated through-out Great-Britain and the continent of Eu-rope, for its superior efficacy in the curing all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living long continued residence in warm climates intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmi-est of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthmas and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of con-sumptions, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunate-ly the prevailing disorder in this country (con-sumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the conse-quences of youthful excess, will find them-selves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Eu-rope, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, con-sumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many tested proofs of which from eminently dis-tinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or ac-quire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sove-reign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This ce-lebrated restorative plant has also been high-ly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and consider-ed by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor most grateful to the palate, and the most en-liquidating to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheu-matic Drops
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lacep remark however is too often FORGOTTEN whilst we are active and strong—and pre-vention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any descripti-on of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting effo-rt to eradicate and overcome, none have a strong-er claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheu-matism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originat-ed—and hence every relief which can be ad-ministered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly ex-pose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their peri-lous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescrip-tions have been published to cure the disor-ders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT, which are celebrated through-out the European continent, and whose un-bounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first con-sequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Ma-cubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton.
Ample certificates and affidavits of the be-eficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.
