From that new and elegant Volume of Poems, entitled "GERTRUDE OF WYOMING" and other Poems."—By THOMAS CAMPBELL, author of the "Pleasures of Hope."
LORD ULLIN'S DAUGHTER.
A CHIEFTAIN, to the highland's bound, Cries, 'Boatman, do not tarry! And I'll give thee a silver pound, 'To row us o'er the ferry.'
'Now who be ye, would cross Lochgyle, 'This dark and stormy water!— 'Oh I'm the chief of Ulva's isle, 'And this Lord Ullin's daughter.—
'And fast before her master's men 'Three days we've fled together, 'For should he find us in the glen, 'My blood would stain the heather.
'His horsemen hard behind us ride, 'Should they our steps discover, 'Then who will cheer my bonny bride, 'When they have slain her lover!'
Outspoke the hardy highland white, 'I'll go, my chief—I'm ready;— 'It is not for your silver bright, 'But for your wainsome lady:
'And by my word! the bonny bird 'In danger shall not tarry; 'So, though the waves are raging white, 'I'll row you o'er the ferry.'
By this the storm grew loud apace, The water-wraith was shrieking; And in the scowl of heaven each face Grew dark as they were speaking.
But still as wilder blew the wind, And as the night grew drearer, Adown the glen rode armed men, Their trampling sounded nearer.
'Oh haste thee, haste!' the lady cries, 'Though tempests round us gather, 'I'll meet the raging of the skies; 'But not an angry father.'
The boat has left a stormy land, A stormy sea before her;— When oh! too strong for human hand The tempest gather'd o'er her.
And still they row'd amidst the roar Of waters fast prevailing: Lord Ullin reach'd that fatal shore, His wrath was chang'd to wailing.
For sore dismay'd, through storm and shade His child he did discover,— One lovely hand she stretch'd for aid, And one was round her lover.
'Come back, come back!' he cries in grief, 'Across this stormy water; 'And I'll forgive your highland chief, 'My daughter—oh my daughter!'
'Twas vain: the loud waves lasht the shore, Return or aid preventing:— The waters wild went o'er his child— And he was left lamenting.
*The evil spirit of the waters.

LONDON, Sept. 6.
The troops are rapidly returning from South Beveland. On Sunday and Monday several troops of the 2d light cavalry of the German legion, which had been disembarked at Ramsgate, arrived in Canterbury, where they at present remain. A detachment also of the second, or Queen's Bays, marched in on Monday; and the remainder of the regiment, with the third, or king's own dragoons, yesterday, to occupy their former quarters.
The earl of Chatham, it is reported, arrived in town this morning.
A great difference of opinion is said to prevail between the naval and military commanders relative to the practicability of effecting the objects of the late expedition. There is no doubt that the subject must undergo a serious investigation. It must be ascertained why an expedition so admirably planned, and so well equipped, was not more successful. But it seems that if ministers do not oppose inquiry, they are to be accused of business and desertion of the
man whom they appointed. The late ministry then would set their faces against enquiry; they wish ministers to refuse investigation. They would lay down the doctrine, that those who appoint an officer to any situation, are bound to protect and screen him in it, whatever be his conduct! The snare for ministers is clumsily laid—they are not likely to fall into it.
A Gottenburgh mail arrived this morning. The intelligence brought by it is of as little importance as that brought by the mails for some time. We no longer feel that interest in Swedish affairs which we did before the gallant monarch was deposed because he disdained to crouch at the feet of Bonaparte and the emperor Alexander.
The Gazette of last night contains the despatches from gen. Stuart, relative to his operations against Ischia and Procida, and from gen. Carmichael relative to the surrender of the city of St. Domingo. Gen. Stuart says, his object was "to make such a movement as, although it should produce no issue of achievement to ourselves, might still operate a diversion in favor of our Austrian allies, under the heavy pressure of reverse with which we had learned at the period, they were bravely but unequally struggling."
The consequence of this movement was, that a considerable body of troops which had been recently detached from Naples as a reinforcement to the army in Upper Italy, as well as almost the whole of the troops which had been sent into the Roman states to aid the late usurpation of the papal dominions, were precipitately recalled on our first appearance on the coast. Such was the issue of "the indiscretions," as it has been called "of the late desultory invasion of the Neapolitan court," which however could "by no means be conceived to attach to sir John Stuart," as we were assured in a paper of yesterday; which assurance so reasonably made, was as effectually confirmed by the Gazette that appeared in the course of the evening, in which the first sentence that meets the eye is a declaration on the part of sir John Stuart, that the project "had been formed by himself and rear-admiral Martin."
Sir John Stuart's despatches do not evince any intention of abandoning either Ischia and Procida, which the last French papers asserted we had evacuated. An attempt against the Castle of Scylla failed in the first instance—but the enemy afterwards did the business for us—they blew up the works of Scylla, repaid us with interest for some stores they had previously taken from us, leaving us not only those stores, but an immense quantity of ordnance and stores of their own, which had been placed in depot, preparatory to an intended invasion of Sicily. The following is an extract of a letter from an officer at Messina, to his friend, dated July 18, 1809:—"Since I wrote you last I have had a few shot and shells flying about my ears; I allude to the siege of Scylla, in Calabria, from which we were obliged to retreat, after dismounting all the guns of the castle by the fire from our batteries; we had only 2000 men, and the French brought down 6000 infantry and 500 cavalry; they pursued us to our boats, and our rear-guard kept up a skirmish with their advance; we left our cannon, stores, &c. behind us, but the French retreating, we went over a second time, and brought away our own stores, together with theirs, to the amount of 12,000. On the morning we opened the batteries, I was appointed with 50 men to supply them with ammunition, so that I was in the thick of it, without so much as receiving a scratch, although I had some shells burst very near me."
No firing or rejoicings having been heard upon the French coast, we doubt the report received from Holland, of peace having actually been signed between France and Austria.
Several letters from Corunna of the 24th ult. notice the activity of the preparations making at Ferrol to remove the naval force in that port to Cadiz. The utmost diligence is employed in equipping the vessels, and jury-masts and some necessary stores were daily expected from the country. This precaution is not taken from any apprehension of immediate danger, but as the harbor is of difficult egress in many directions of the wind, and as the French, by a daring enterprise might disappoint the object proposed, the marine department at Ferrol has determined upon this measure. The army of the marquis De la Romana was not precisely in the position before represented; he had not proceeded further than the city of Leon, and was ready to march either to the north or to the south, towards Madrid, as circumstances should require. In the mean time being apprised of the abandonment of the ports of Biscay by the French, gen. Ballesteros had received instructions to return to Santander, and was already in the vicinity with
a competent force, with which the English frigates on that station, some of which to co-operate if necessary. It was reported at Corunna that the marquis had been nominated president of the central junta, and that great benefit was expected from the appointment of this distinguished officer to such an elevated rank in the supreme council of his country. In Galicia they were apprised of the events of Talavera, and of the subsequent retreat of the allied armies. They speak in honorable terms of British discipline and valor. It is said that a great many traitors in the French interest have been discovered and punished in Corunna. The populace, we are told, took summary vengeance on these criminals, who expiated their perfidy on the gallows during the night, and were publicly exposed on scaffolds the ensuing morning as a warning to the disaffected.
A vessel is arrived from Bilboa, with skis and wool, after a short passage of 5 days. We understand no molestation was given during her loading, or navigation down the river to Portugalete; and that 3 more ships, with cargoes from the same place, are hourly expected. The information that she has brought is, that there are no French garrisons in the extensive range of coast from Santander, to St. Sebastian, the whole of the troops in that direction having proceeded by Orduna, Burgos, and Segovia, towards Madrid and Santa Ollalla, to reinforce the army of Victor.
Nine ships from Archangel, supposed to be worth 200,000. have been taken by a Danish privateer; and by the last accounts six other privateers were cruising off the bar, to take the ships as they came out, so that it appears impossible for a vessel to escape.
September 7.
A Gottenburgh mail arrived yesterday. The Swedish papers speak of hostile movements still carried on against the emperor of Russia, in Finland; at the same time a convoy of Swedish vessels has been allowed to enter the harbor of Wismar. On the arrival of this convoy off that port, the duke of Mecklenburg, the sovereign of the country, did not dare to permit its admittance, but recommended an appeal to higher authority—and on a proper application being made to the French minister at Travemunde, he graciously issued an order that Wismar and Rostock should be open to Swedish vessels furnished with proper papers.
We have inserted to day from the Journal de l'Empire an interesting article, professing to be a connected narrative of the late operations of the French army in the Tagus. It is gratifying to detect, even in this artfully composed statement, a silent confession of the victory gained by the British troops at Talavera; so that had this publication reached this country before the arrival of our own despatches, we should, from the enemy's account, have confidently inferred that the victory was in our favor. After describing with great diffuseness the English position, and adding that Joseph Bonaparte was, nevertheless, resolved to attack it; the writer digresses, and relates the accounts received of Venegas' approach to Madrid: "The king desired to save his capital. The battle was sanguinary. The enemy defended his position with the greatest obstinacy, but he sustained so great a loss, that he, during the night, resolved to abandon Talavera. The king slept on the field of battle. To renew the attack the next morning would have been abandoning the capital to Venegas, and the king resolved to march towards Madrid." This is as explicit a confession that the attack of the 28th was successfully repelled, as could be expected in a French newspaper. That this victory should have proved ultimately fruitless we have before had occasion to lament.
Accounts are said to have been received from Spain, which state, that the marquis de Romana was at Leon with a part of his army. The remainder was at Ciudad Rodrigo. It was not certain whether he would adopt the resolution of marching towards Madrid, or of following Soult to the southward. He has detached general Ballesteros to take possession of St. Ander, and the other ports on the bay of Biscay, whence the French had withdrawn all their men to strengthen the force collected against lord Wellington and Cuesta. A number of persons attached to the French interest have been seized by the populace at Corunna, and hung up during the night. They remained exposed the following day. Exertions are made at Ferrol to fit out ships of war, to convey them for security to Cadiz.
We lay the following statement before the public without pledging ourselves for its authenticity.
"The length of the negotiations between Austria and France has usurped those who from the terms of the armistice inferred that Austria was prepared to accede to such terms as France might demand. But the delay is said to have been occasioned by
Russia, who has spirited up Austria to refuse Bonaparte's conditions—and herself to have been treated by him with considerable slight and indeed insolence. In the first place as the Russians advanced into Galicia were to press Austria on one side, the emperor Alexander felt it necessary to order that the Austrian army should be put up without any previous consultation with him. In the next place the emperor was affronted at Bonaparte stipulating, of his own accord, for the Russian army, that it should cease operations at a certain time, and that it should evacuate Cracow. He requested some explanation with respect to Bonaparte's insinuation relative to Austrian Poland, which Bonaparte is said to have declined giving him, alleging that the fate of that country would be decided, by the peace between him and Austria. The latter, therefore, desired to take part in them, and to send a minister. Bonaparte alleged that the contest was solely between Austria and himself—Russia urged that as her aid had been demanded to carry on the war, she had a fair claim to be made a party in the negotiations that were to lead to peace. It was at last consented that a Russian minister should be admitted. On this account the conferences did not really begin till the 27th of last month, though Bonaparte had previously been doing every thing in his power, alternately using menaces and making promises, to induce the emperor Francis to subscribe to his terms."
The report circulated last night, of an Austrian messenger having arrived with an account of the preliminaries of peace having been signed, is we are enabled to state, without any foundation.
It is rumored that the duke of Brunswick Oels has received intelligence from the contingent informing him of the Prussian army having been suddenly ordered to be encamped, and of his Prussian majesty having lately sent three couriers to the Austrian head-quarters.
Despatches from Lord Wellington.
Advices have been received this morning by government from lord Wellington, dated Truxillo, the 21st instant. Our army had been extremely distressed for want of provisions, and his lordship had been obliged to fall back, and was in the road to Elbras. The enemy had not passed the Tagus, except with a body of cavalry, near Arzobispo, which took the cannon of Cuesta's rear-guard—Soult was at Placentia; Ney at Salamanca; Mortier, Victor, and Sebastiani, in Estramadura and La Mancha.—Sir R. Wilson had had an action with Ney's army near Banos, and after 9 hours fighting was obliged to retreat through the mountains. Cuesta resigned his command on the 12th, and general Equis had succeeded him.
NORFOLK, Oct. 30.
The ship Powhatan, captain Poythress, arrived yesterday from London, last from Plymouth in 44 days, we have received no papers by her, and understand there was no news of importance. The president's proclamation, renewing the non-intercourse, had reached England before the Powhatan sailed. No official accounts of the conclusion of peace between France and Austria, had reached Plymouth the 14th of September, it was still reported, but rested on report only.
On Friday night Mr. Jackson's despatches were received (by express from Baltimore) on board the L'Africaine, and on Saturday Mr. Erskine and his family embarked on board that ship. At the time we are writing, the wind is a-head, and prevents the frigate from putting to sea; she goes that moment the wind will permit.
NOTICE:
That from and after the 15th of November next, there will be demanded and received at the several gates on the Little River Turnpike Road, twenty five cents on all waggons and carts drawn by four horses, mules or oxen, the wheels whereof do not exceed four inches, and six cents for each horse, mule or oxen drawing the same, and so in proportion for any greater or lesser number for every space of ten miles on said road, and in proportion for a greater or lesser distance, being the toll allowed by law.—No toll will be demanded on return waggons or carts, or for the horses, mules or oxen drawing the same loaded or not loaded.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.
Latest from England.
Last evening arrived at this port the fast sailing ship Xenophon, 42 days from Liverpool, which port she left on the 16th of September. By her the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has been favored with London papers to the 11th of Sept. and Liverpool to the 13th, inclusive, a week later than our former advices from England.
Capt. Inglee informs us, that two pilot-boat schrs. despatched from England, arrived in Liverpool, on the 10th and 12th of Sept. bringing the first accounts of the renewal of the American non-intercourse, which had a very serious effect upon the markets for American produce. Cotton rose from 17 pence to 24 1-2; wheat from 13 to 19 shillings sterling; and other articles in proportion.
The British army was about leaving Flushing, and it was said were going to the island of Zealand, as troops were getting ready to reinforce them.
No news of a treaty of Peace between France and Austria had reached England. Captain Inglee has brought dispatches for government.
From London Papers received at this office by the Xenophon.
LONDON, Sept. 8.
It is gratifying to learn that Cuesta has been dismissed from the chief command, which is said to have been conferred on the gallant and persevering Blake. This measure has been adopted too late to produce any material advantages. Lord Wellington is stated to have expressed his conviction, that no reasonable hopes of success can be entertained from the co-operation of the Spanish legions, who are ill supplied, wretchedly disciplined and destitute of able officers. He also complains of the negligence of the Junta in preparing and sending necessary supplies and provisions to the British army. The total force of the French in Spain is ascertained to be little short of 100,000 men. We shall not be surprised to learn the determination of his majesty's ministers to withdraw the whole of our army from Spain and Portugal. The last dispatches from Marquis Wellesley, do not, we understand, hesitate to recommend the evacuation of both countries. The Supreme Junta is a deliberative body, and a deliberative body only. It was known at Lisbon on the 22d, that major gen. Lightburne and brigadier gen. Crawford, who advanced with their corps in the direction of Cindad Rodrigo were on their march back to Lisbon.
It is reported that the Junta will give place to a regency, from which more rigor may be expected than from a body influenced by such opposite principles. The archbishop of Toledo is spoken of as the person intended to fill that high and difficult post. Let us hope that this prelate may distinguish himself as much as one of his predecessors in the archbishopric did about three centuries ago, Cardinal Zimenes. He governed the kingdom under a Ferdinand, and shewed how wisely did he govern it, that
Ferdinand on his death bed appointed him regent during the minority of Charles the 5th. May the present archbishop of Toledo evince equal patriotism and courage, and prove himself equally able to direct the affairs of his country.
Portuguese papers and letters arrived this morning to the 20th ult. The following is an extract of a private letter:
LISBON, August 20.
"The whole of our army has left Spain. Sir A. Wellesley has his head quarters at Elvas, from which place he will march to Abrantes. Gen. Beresford is at Castel Branco. They are said to have been obliged to retire for want of provisions. The French have retired towards Madrid."
The earl of Chatham it not yet arrived, and it is reported that he is extremely indisposed at Middleburgh.
A Gottenburgh mail arrived last night with an account of a severely-contested battle fought by the Swedes and Russians, near Umea in West Bothnia, on the 19th ult. in which the former was defeated; but the opposition which the Russians experienced was so great that, instead of attempting to advance, they retreated from that position, which was occupied on the 24th by the Swedes. A private letter received at Gottenburgh on the 4th inst. states, that peace had been actually signed between Sweden and Russia, by which Russia was to retain Finland, and the Isle of Aland, and the demand of shutting the Swedish ports against England was abandoned. A private letter dated Stockholm, the 30th last, gives a still more favorable account of the military operations in the vicinity of Umea, than that published in the Gottenburgh papers. It says, "the enemy has been forced to evacuate Umea; but I am sorry to say, that exploit has cost us dear. The loss of the Russians is, however, much greater.—Two of their best generals, Tutschkoff and Alexieff, 30 officers and between 2 and 3000 men are killed, wounded and prisoners.—It is said that gen. Kamensky has retreated as far as Skelestea, about 70 miles from Umea, not feeling himself strong enough to wait the junction of generals Wachtmeister and Wrede. Admiral Puke had sent a strong detachment of gun-boats with troops to Pitca, to take an island in the river near that town, over which the road goes, and the occupation of which will probably cut off the retreat of the Russian general, or at least prevent him from receiving any reinforcements or supplies from Tornea."
It is with much concern we state that all the accounts received from the Scheldt concur in stating that a great degree of sickness prevails among the British troops in that quarter, and some mortality.
Ten sail of transports have arrived at Deal from Walcheren having on board about 500 sick soldiers, belonging to different regiments.
By a cutter lately arrived from Rochefort we learn that two of the enemy's frigates had come out of the harbor, and were lying under the Isle of Aix. A neutral vessel came out, while the cutter remained off the port and informed her that there were eight sail of the line afloat in the harbor; so that if this statement be correct, 3 new ships have been added to the 5 which effected their escape from Basque Roads.

FATAL DUEL.
On the 17th of October a dispute arose on board the frigate Essex, off Norfolk, between Dr. Hyde Ray and Mr. Voorhees, both of the United States navy. The succeeding day, the latter sent a challenge, which was immediately accepted, and the parties repaired to the field the same evening. The articles agreed upon were, that the parties should stand at eight paces and exchange one fire, which proving ineffectual, each should then advance three paces and decide the affair with the sword. Mr. Voorhees fell at the first fire and soon expired. Dr. Ray is represented to have acted with courage, honor and propriety. He would have shunned the bloody contest, but that the laws of society constrained him to accept a peremptory and unconditional invitation to the field.

Mr. John Troup will superintend the making, and supplying customers in my absence. WM. C. NEWTON.  DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE  YARWOOD'S  Patent Washing Machine. First fill the barrel half full of your fines 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 rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
