SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, TUESDAY, JULY 11.
An account of the Battle fought near Aspern, on the Marchfeld, on the 21st and 22d of May, 1809, between the archduke Charles of Austria, generalissimo of the Imperial Austrian armies, and the emperor Napo- leon, commander in chief of the French and allied armies.
[CONTINUED.]
BATTLE OF THE 21st MAY.
FIRST COLUMN.
The advanced guard under general Nord- man consisting of two battalions of Gyulay and Lichtenstein hussars, had formed near the destroyed bridge of Tabor, and leaving the villages of Kahn and Hirschitten to the left, and Stadlau to the right, marched in the plain towards Aspern.
It was followed by the column, which having left the road before the post-office at Stammersdorf, had marched from the right by half divisions. Its right flank a- long the Danube was covered by a battalion of St. Georgians, by the first battalion of Vienna volunteers, and by a battalion of militia, under the command of major count Colloredo.
Within a cannon shot of Stadelan, the out posts met the enemy's piquets, which gradually retreated to their original divi- sions.
At this time gen. Nordman ordered two battalions of Gyulay to draw up ex enche- lon , in order to favor the advance of the column. The enemy, drawn up in large divisions, stood immediately before Aspern, having, to cover his front, occupied all the ditches of the fields, which afforded excel- lent breast-works. His right was covered by a battery, and his left by a broad and deep ditch, (one of those that carry off the waters of the Danube when it overflows) as well as by a bushy ground, which was occu- pied by several bodies in close order.
Though the enemy had advantage of po- sition all to himself, inasmuch as the fresh- es of the Danube were only passable by a small bridge, at which he kept up a vigor- ous fire from behind the ditches both with cannon and small arms, it did not prevent the second battalion of Gyulay, immedi- ately after the first had penetrated as far as the bushy meadows, to pass the bridge in a column, to form without delay, and with charged bayonets to attack the enemy, who precipitately retreated to Aspern, on which occasion that village, after a vigorous, but not very obstinate resistance, was taken for the first time. It was, however, not long before the enemy had it in his power, by the arrival of fresh reinforcements, to ex- pel again the battalions of Gyulay. By this time some battalions of the column had ar- rived, the chasseurs of major Schneider, of the second column, joined the advanced guard of the first; Gyulay formed again, and the enemy was a second time pushed to the lower end of the village, though he suc- ceeded again in regaining what he had lost.
Both parties were aware of the necessity of maintaining themselves in Aspern at any rate, which produced successively the most obstinate efforts both of attack and defence; the parties engaged each other in every street, in every house, and in every barn; carts, ploughs and harrows were obliged to be removed during an uninterrupted fire, in order to get at the enemy; every individual was an impediment of the assailants, and a rampart of the attacked; the steeple, lofty trees, the garrets and the cellars were to be conquered before either of the parties could stale itself master of the place, and yet the possession was ever of short duration; for no sooner had we taken a street or a house; than the enemy gained another forcing us to abandon the former. So this murderous conflict lasted for several hours; the Ger- man battalions were supported by Hungari- ans, who were again assisted by Vienna volunteers, each rivalling the other in cou- rage and perseverance. At the same time the second column combined its attacks with those of the first, having to overcome
the resistance, by reason of the enemy's con- stantly leading fresh reinforcements into fire. At length gen. Bacquant of the second co- lumn succeeded in becoming master of the upper part of the village, and maintaining himself there during the whole night.
By the shells of both parties, many hous- es had been set on fire, and illuminated the whole country round.
At the extremity of the right wing on the bushy meadow, the combats were not less severe. The left flank of the enemy was secured by an arm of the Danube; impene- trable underwood, intersected only by foot paths, covered his front; and a broad ditch and pallisadoes afforded him the advantage of a natural rampart.
Here fought at the beginning of the battle the 1st battalion of Gyulay under col. Ma- riassy; and the battalion of chasseurs under maj. Schneider; next the St. Georgians un- der maj. Mihailovich; and finally, the two battalions of Vienna volunteers under lieut. col. Steigentesch and St. Quentin. Here, also, the enemy was defeated; and the first day of this sanguinary engagement terminat- ed by the occupation of Aspern by general Bacquant, at the head of eight battalions of the second column, while lieut. field mar- shal Hiller drew the troops of his corps from the village, placed them again in or- der of battle, and passed the night under arms.
Second Column.
The advanced guard, commanded by lieut. gen. Fresnel, advanced by Leopoldau and Kagran towards Hirschstetten, and con- sisted of one battalion of chasseurs, and two battalions of Anton Mitovsky under gen. Winzingerode, as well as the brigades of cavalry, Klenau and Vincent, under gen. Veese. It was followed in the same direc- tion by the column from its position near Gerasdorf.
The enemy having been discovered from the eminences near Hirschstetten to be near Aspern and Esslingen, the brigade Veese was detached against the latter place, and the brigade Winzingerode to dislodge the enemy from Aspern.
The column deployed before Hirschstet- ten in two lines, in order to support the advanced guard, and leaving Aspern on the right, followed upon the plain, at a pro- per distance.
The brigade of Winzingerode, however, met with so spirited a resistance in its attempts upon Aspern, that an attack on the front a- lone was not likely to be attended with suc- cess; the cavalry, therefore, of the advan- ced guard, was pushed forward from Aspern on the left, in order to support the attack on the flank with the two batteries of caval- ry, as well as to facilitate the junction with the third column, which was advancing by Breitenlee. At the same time the regiment of Reuss-Plauen was ordered to take the right side of Aspern, with a view to attack on that place, the rest of the corps was form- ed into close columns of battalions.
Meanwhile the enemy formed his left wing, which he refused towards Aspern, and his right upon Esslingen. Thus he ad- vanced with columns of infantry and caval- ry upon the main army, while an extremely brisk cannonade supported him. A line of twelve regiments of cuirassiers formed the centre of the second line of the enemy, giv- ing to the whole an imposing aspect.
Meanwhile the attack of a battalion of Reuss-Plauen of Aspern was repulsed, and it gave way, being thrown into consterna- tion by the loss of its commander, but it rallied immediately after. Count Bellegarde ordered gen. Bacquant to renew the attack with the regiment of Vogesang, and to carry the village at all hazards. The latter obey- ed the order with the most brilliant success, and Aspern, though defended by twelve thousand of the best of the enemy's troops, was carried by storm; Bacquant being as- sisted by the regiment of Reuss-Plauen, by a battalion of archduke Rainer, and by the brigade of Mair of the third column.
To frustrate this attack, the enemy ad- vanced with two columns of infantry, sup- ported by his heavy cavalry upon the main army, repulsed the regiments of Klenau and Vincent's light horse, and fell upon the infantry.
The latter expecting him with their fire- locks ready, and with cool intrepidity, fired at ten paces distance so effectually, as total- ly to route the enemy, upon which gen. Vee- sey, at the head of a division of Klenau, at- tacked the enemy's cuirassiers with such energy that their retreat was followed by that of the infantry.
Hereby the army along the whole of its line was disengaged from the enemy, ob- tained communication on the left with the corps of prince Hohenzollern, and became possessed of the important post of Aspern. The enemy being in full retreat, attempted no further attack, and confined himself merely to a cannonade. The corps remain- ed during the night under arms. The ene-
my repeated, indeed, his attacks on Aspern, but they all proved unsuccessful.
Third Column.
This column, according to its destination, had began its march from its position at Sciering, by the road of Sussbrunn and Breitenlee. Some divisions of O'Reilly's light horse and chasseurs formed the ad- vanced guard of the column, and at three o'clock in the afternoon met near Hirsch- stetten, the left wing of the enemy, which consisted mostly of cavalry.
As about this time the first and second columns advanced intrepidly upon Aspern, and the enemy began to fall back to his po- sition between Esslingen and Aspern, lieut. gen. Hohenzollern ordered up his batteries, and a very brisk cannonade commenced on both sides.
The first line formed in close columns of battalions, and advanced with the greatest resolution upon the enemy, when his caval- ry suddenly rushed forward in such dispro- portionate numbers, and with such rapidity, that there was scarcely time to save the ar- tillery which had been brought up, and the battalions left to defend themselves by their own unsupported exertions. This was the remarkable moment in which the regiments of Zach, Jos. Colloredo, Zettwitz, Froom, a battalion of Stein's, and the second bat- talion of the archduke Charles's legion, un- der the conduct of lieut. gen. Brady, and generals Buresch, Meier, and Koller, de- monstrated with unparalleled fortitude, what the fixed determination to conquer or die is capable of effecting against the most impe- tuos attacks.
The enemy's cavalry turned these batta- lions on both wings, penetrated between them, repulsed the squadrons of O'Reilly's light horse, who were unable to withstand such a superior force, and in the confidence of victory, summoned these corps of he- roes to lay down their arms. A well di- rected and destructive fire was the answer to this degrading proposition, and the ene- my's cavalry abandoned the field, leaving behind them a considerable number of dead.
This corps, as well as the others, passed the night on the field of battle.

BANKS OF THE WESER, July 1.
(Extract of a letter.)
"In the neighborhood of Presburg, the Austrians have established a bridge over the Danube, defended by a tete-de-pont , near Wolfsthal, which marshal Davoust attack- ed in vain, with 10,000 men. The Aus- trian general Bianchi repulsed his attacks.
"In Poland, the fortune of war has de- clared in favor of the Polish troops under prince Poniatowsky, who is reported to have been joined by a column of Russians under a general Suwarow; but the reign- ing duke of Oldenburg, who was in the neighborhood two days ago, is said to have dropt very broad hints that Russia would not act seriously against the Austrians. The news of the success of the archduke Charles on the Danube, had reached St. Petersburg before his departure, and created such a tu- multuous clamor among the lower orders in the Russian capital, that the French ambassa- dor complained to Alexander, who replied, that it was the voice of the people, which he was unable to control.
"The expected conflict between the two grand armies had not taken place on the 20th June. The last letters from Vienna of that date report, that Bonaparte finding himself straitened with respect to provisions had applied to the Austrian emperor and the archduke Charles, in behalf of the inha- bitants of Vienna, and met with an absolute refusal. It is therefore expected, that the scarcity which prevails in his camp will force him to attack the entrenched Austri- an camp on the other side of the Danube.
"Marshal Lefebvre had still his head- quarters, on the 13th of June, at Lintz, at the head of two divisions of the Bavarian troops, commanded by the crown prince of Bavaria, and G. Wrede.
"In Saxony, the Austrians and the corps under the young duke of Brunswick Oels, were on the 21st of June in the neighbor- hood of Leipzig and Halle; their vanguards reached Morseburg and Weissenfels. Je- rome Bonaparte was with a few of his own troops and a regiment of the grand duke of Berg's cavalry, at Mitelhausen on the 19th.

NEW-ORLEANS, July 16.
The following is a brief sketch of a trans- action, which occurred when on a late visit at the camp of Terre-au-Bœuf:
On the 10th instant, a Lieut. Christy of the 7th regiment, reported to Lieut. Col. of the same corps, that a general review intended as soon as the men had received their pay, and that the plan extended from right to left. He mentioned several names and among them are Corporal Donahoe of the 5th regiment, and a private by the name of Arbuckle, of the 7th regiment, and particularized Hogan the sergeant major of Dragoons, as the proposed leader, who is said to be a British deserter. The report reached the general's ear the morn- ing of the 11th, and measures were im- mediately adopted to ascertain the grounds which it rested.
In the course of the day and night, sa- factory evidence was obtained, that a con- vot was in agitation, and that a paper had been circulated for signers. The general had heard that an overt act was necessary to constitute treason and to justify action; but he reflected that if he should suffer this instance to pass without action, he might perhaps enter the plea of justification, and put his authority and the law in defiance—he therefore resolved, as on former occasion, to anticipate the conspira- tors.
On the morning of the 12th, the battal- ions were returned by the troops, and the guards were strengthened. The line was paraded in the evening, the light artillery the right, loaded with canister and light matches—the rolls being called and the of- ficers read, three sergeants, one corporal, and four privates were drawn out and commit- ted to the front guard, under an impressive ceremony, and a scene of obvious alarm from right to left. Piquets of confidential men were turned out in the course of the morn- ing, and the officers emulated each other in vigilance, determined to lose their lives to extinguish the combination in its dawn.
On the 13th the enclosed order was issued and a general court martial was ordered to try the offenders. I left camp this morn- ing, where every thing was tranquil.
EXTRACT OF GENERAL ORDER
Head Quarters, Camp Terre-au-Bœuf July 13th, 1809.
"It is with extreme pain, the general has heard of much licentious conversation in this camp, subversive of every principle of subordination and discipline, of patriot- ism and honor, & tending to dissolve the high and solemn obligations, by which every military man is bound to the service of his country:
"He is fully apprized of the acts which have been employed to seduce the incautious and innocent from their duty, to oblige their signatures to a bond of infamy, and involve them in utter disgrace and ruin. He knows that his life has been menaced by a traitor, but he is persuaded, a great majority of the troops he commands, are cans by birth and in principle, will so- ffer martyrdom, than attach an odious stigma to their names and families, or bring their hands against the country which gave them birth. He knows also that this dis- like all others of equal extent, comprehends every species of human depravity, and a strict scrutiny will exhibit the various of character from the patriot and the hero to the coward and the villain—men of fligate lives, fugitives from justice and setters from foreign service:
"But were the general assured that any man of his camp had combined to late their oaths, to abandon their duty, defy the government, and the laws, by

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
We learn verbally from a gentleman passenger in a vessel arrived off Sandy-Hook, from a port in Ireland, whence she sailed about the 23d of July, that the grand expedition sailed from England on the 17th of July; that there were a general embargo in England; the Russian and French armies had formed a junction; and negotiations for a peace were said to be in a train of forwardness between France and Austria. [N. Y. M. Adv.]
Bonaparte, in one of his bulletins, ordered that the Austrian field marshal CHASTEL-... if taken, should be executed as a brigand. In consequence, the Austrian Em-... peror has notified Napoleon, that Derousnel and Feulers as well as other French general officers should be held as hostages for the personal safety of the field marshal should the chance of war put him in the power of the French.
Iron Crown. —The crown of the king of the Italians or the Romans, is called the iron crown. Why it was so denominated we know not, unless it was in allusion to the prophecy in the book of Daniel, which declared that the fourth kingdom, meaning that of the Romans, should be "strong as iron." Napoleon made himself king of the Romans and possessor of the iron crown, upon which it seems there is inscribed this motto, "God has given it to me, woe to him that touches it." And he concludes his late proclamation after the defeat of the Austrian army in Ita-... with repeating the motto aforementioned. Napoleon ought to have reflected, however, that God in his providence had also given the iron crown to the prince from whom he wrested it, and that the woe denounced in the motto, strictly applies to himself.

The Mosquito schr. and a small squadron from Heligoland, have driven the French out of Cuxhaven demolished the batteries, and forced the municipality to lay down the buoys in the Elbe which the French had taken up. Our presence is ardently desired in that part of Germany, and hopes are entertained that our expedition is destined thither.
On mutual condescension. —In the crowded streets of a great city, where multitude, of people are passing in opposite directions which some are crossing the streets obliquely, and some at right angles, it is necessary for every one to give way a little to those he meets; and thus they all have a free passage. If the whole multitude should press on directly onward, without any one's yielding an inch of ground to another, all would be obstructed, more or less, and a general confusion must ensue. Or if a churlish individual should take it in his head to march forward in a strait line, and never make way for man, woman, or child, or even for a procession, he would be sure to jostle against somebody, every few steps; and would receive many an insult, and, perhaps, some hard blows for his obstinacy and impudence. And so it is, my fellow-travellers, in our journey through life, and in respect to our general intercourse with mankind. "In the march of life no one's path lies so clear as not in some degree to cross another's; and if each is determined, with unyielding sturdiness, to keep his own line, it is impossible but he must both give and receive many a rude shock." In society, in neighbor-... hoods, and even among close friends, there will spring up rivalries, there will be some-... times a clashing of opinion and of interest, and if every one were mulishly obstinate, there would be no end nor bounds to conten-... tion; whereas by the exercise of mutual condescension, social harmony is preserved, and the pleasures of society are enjoyed.
The exercise of condescension is ranked amongst the precepts of the gospel, and is enjoined as a duty upon christians, who are told from divine authority, to "be patient towards all men," to "be courteous."—Hence it follows, that the ever obstinate man who will not yield an inch in matters of interest or opinion, but runs foul of every one that chances to cross his path, does really transgress the rules of the gospel, as well as those of decorum.
Here not let me be misunderstood. Condescension has its bounds, and those bounds are strongly marked. One should never yield opinions, much less principles, that are of great and serious importance. One should never sacrifice conscience to please friends, or for fear of foes. One should never "follow a multitude to do evil." One should never suffer himself to be conformed to the world in vicious practices and customs, or in fashions, which, although innocent in themselves, are too expensive for him to follow. One should never yield any thing to importunity , which self-justice forbids him to yield at all. In these points the per-... son who would go through the journey of life well , must be firm and inflexible. But in matters of indifference, or of no serious consequence, whether respecting opinion or interest, a yielding accommodating spirit is not only desirable, but is a moral and christian duty. And even in points which are not to be yielded, one should maintain firmness in such a manner, if possible, as to make it evident that he acts from principle rather from obstinacy.

Domestic Manufactures.
THE subscriber proposes erecting at the Centre Mills, near Alexandria, a Machine for carding Wool, and expects to have it ready to run by the 30th of the present month. It will card the wool and form it into rolls for the spinning wheel, or into batts for hatters, or other purposes. The advantage of having wool prepared by these machines for the purpose of manufacturing into yarn over that which is carded by hand, is generally acknowledged, as being the cheapest and most perfect in its operation. Those persons who may incline to give encouragement to this establishment, may depend on the utmost punctuality as to time and unremitted attention in the execution of the work. The wool when carded into rolls will be packed in such manner as to preserve it in the most perfect state for spinning, and may be transported any reasonable distance without injury. Wool, sent to the carder, must be clean washed, clear of burs, small sticks or other extraneous matter, and as sorted in such manner as may suit the owner; and each quality shall be kept separate. The expence of carding will be eight cents for that which is made into rolls, and five cents for batts per lb. payable at the time of delivering, or payment will be received in wool of good quality at 40 cents per pound, as may suit the convenience of the owner.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE
YARWOOD'S
Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest 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 ubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.

VALUABLE LAND
FOR SALE,
Distant 23 miles from Georgetown and Alexandria, 19 miles from Occoquan Mills, and twenty from Dumfries, and within two miles and a half of the Little River Turnpike Road. It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred Acres, lying on the waters of Bull and Little Rocky runs, in the counties of Fairfax and Prince William. The quality of this land is excellent, and to a grazier especially, would be a source of great emolument, from the quantity of low grounds: of which there is not less than Five hundred acres, ready, from the strength of the soil, to be sowed in Timothy. This land is decidedly benefited by the plaster of Paris. On it is a very good site for a mill, the stream being one of the most constant in that part of the country. There are about 800 acres in wood, heavily timbered. The improvements are, a dwelling house newly fitted up, consisting of two rooms below stairs, with a store room and two convenient closets; three lodging rooms above stairs, an excellent cellar, a kitchen, corn house, meat house and stables. Likewise the overseer's house, one in each county, with other necessary houses or negroes, &c.
Between 2 and 300 acres in addition, for sale, in Prince William county, on Bull Run near its conflux with Occoquan. This land lies about 10 or 11 miles from the Occoquan mills, and has nearly one third in woods—its quality is equal to any in its immediate neighborhood.
Persons disposed to purchase may be supplied on the first named tract with a large stock of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, farming utensils. The subscriber willing to emigrate southwardly will dispose of the above mentioned property on the most reasonable terms.
Information respecting the property may be had by application to the honorable Judge Washington of Mount Vernon, H. S. Turner, Esquire, of Jefferson county, or in the absence of the subscriber to Bernard Hooper, Esq. living near the premises:
