MARRIED on Thursday the 14th inst. at Cannon Hill, by the Right Rev. Bishop James H. Dunlass, esq. to Miss Maria Pratt—also at the same time at the same place, Thomas M. Kean, jun. esq. to Miss Sarah Pratt—both daughters of Henry Pratt, esq. of Philadelphia.  The ship Alpheus , from hence, arrived Liverpool the 14th July.
BY THE LAST MAIL.  NEW YORK, Sept. 15.  The ship William , capt. Marshall, whose arrival we announced in a postscript to our paper of yesterday morning, left Dublin on the 3d of August; but, sailing immediately after the embargo was raised, brings us no news. He confirms the intelligence we have already given on the authority of the pilot who boarded him; and that the secret expedition from England, which had been augmented to one thousand men, sailed on the 28th of July in three separate divisions; that on the 5th and 6th of July was known in England; and that the loss of the Austrians was 12,000 men and 40 pieces of cannon. He says that France and Austria have concluded a peace, but upon what terms we are unable to ascertain; and that the embargo was raised in England on the 27th or 28th of July, in Ireland on the 2d of August. An American sloop of war had arrived in England with dispatches from the American minister to the U. States.
Latest News from England.  The fast sailing ship Russell , Ailen, arrived at the quarantine ground last evening from Liverpool, which port she left on the 1st of August.  Captain Allen, informs, that the embargo in England was raised on the 29th July. The grand expedition, with about 90,000 men on board, sailed on the 24th and 25th of July, destined, as was supposed in Liverpool, for the coast of Holland.  The American government schooner Enterprise , had arrived off the Texel.  Our London papers contain the late account of the battles on the Danube, between the French and Austrians, and the armistice as published in our paper some days since; and an extract from the 27th French Bulletin to which the armistice is attached. Captain Allen has politely furnished the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with London papers to the 31st of July inclusive, and Lloyd's Lists to the 21st, and Liverpool papers to the 3d August, from which we have made the following extracts. Further extracts from our London papers will be given to-morrow.
LONDON, July 23.  An article dated from Petersburg on the 18th, states that an English squadron had made its appearance between Hothland and Kronstadt, in presence of the Russian fleet, and that a naval engagement was expected. We trust the expectation will not be disappointed. Letters from Petersburg of the 18th inst., that the English squadron consisted of 7 sail of the line and 20 other vessels, and that the Russians were alarmed for the safety of Cronstadt, our ships having evinced a disposition to bombard it.
From German papers.  PETERSBURG, July 5.  According to intelligence received here yesterday, an English squadron has appeared between Hothland and Cronstadt, in presence of the Russian fleet. A naval engagement is expected. The foreign merchants in Cronstadt have received no orders that they may sail when they please, but at their own risk.  Our Court Gazette contains what follows:—  Austria has asserted in her proclamation, that France looks in vain for assistance from her allies. If this observation should be applied to Russia, it will be a sufficient refutation to state, that on the 4th of June the head quarters of the Russians were at Lubia."
VIENNA, July 6.  On the 4th the Austrian general Von Welszenwolf arrived at the head quarters of the Emperor Napoleon, and in the name of the archduke Charles proposed to treat for an armistice and preliminaries of peace. The emperor having signified his refusal, the archduke Charles, was full 200,000 strong; but he received for answer, that the fate of that army would be decided in 2 days.  STOCKHOLM, July 4.  Major Arswedson has returned from his mission to the French emperor, and has brought
passports for a negotiator to proceed to Paris. Baron Von Eisen is to be the ambassador.  LONDON, July 29.  Price of stocks this day at 12, 3 per cent consols for money 67 7-8 68—do. for ac. 68 1-4—three per cent red. 68 5-8—Omnium 1 prem.
Before the greater part of our readers will have received this day's Courier , the expedition will have reached the first point of its destination and struck the first blow. The first and second divisions of the expedition, sailed early yesterday morning, and were soon clear of the downs. Admiral Oway, with the remaining division of the expedition, sailed at five this morning. In the mean time more horses, troops and artillery are embarking, and we have probably by this time, on the enemy's coast, the largest force that was ever sent from the British shores at one time, perhaps between 40 and 50,000 troops.
Three islands lie at the mouth of the Scheldt, Cadsand, Walcheren and Schowen. The possession of these islands is necessary to all ulterior operations up the east and west Scheldt, and these, we may now say, it is the object of the three divisions of the expedition first to attack. Cadsand, will probably be the first island attacked, because it commands the entrance of the W. Scheldt and will enable our ships to go up the river. The marquis of Huntley's division of the 6th, 50th, 91st, 38th and 42d regiments, will attack Cadsand. Cadsand is not strong on its Western side, but the enemy, we understand, have erected a mortar battery above Brekecos. With such a battery and Flushing, the Scheldt may be in a great measure commanded. But it is probable that it is not intended to attack this battery in front, at least till after a landing has been effected in another part.
The second division under the command of sir John Hope, is destined for the Schowen island and the north part of Walcheren. Schowen is necessary to secure the East Scheldt, and to put us in possession of North Beveland. The operation against Walcheren will be committed to sir Eyre Coote.—Upon this subject, it is said in a morning paper, that "the enemy has already assembled 6000 troops in Walcheren, which it is supposed will be sufficient to cope with 30,000 assailants placed as they are on terra firma, and provided with excellent redoubts and batteries. The town of Middleburg in the centre of the island, has had the pavement removed from the spacious squares within its walls, and the same industry has been employed at Flushing, to prevent the destruction of the garrison and inhabitants from the rebounding of the missiles, and from the fragments of stone in the case of bombardment.
We are glad to find that the enemy have no more than 6000 troops in Walcheren; but as to their being able to cope with 30,000 British troops, we have little doubt, ere a few hours have elapsed, that we shall find they have not been able to cope with a third of that number. Middleburgh is not a place of any strength. Flushing is strong; and there may be some batteries on the western coast of the Isle of Walcheren.—But the valor, skill, and firmness of our troops, will soon overcome these obstacles. What objects are in contemplation after the operations against Cadsand, Walcheren, and Schowen have been carried into effect, it would be at present improper to disclose.  July 31.
A cutter arrived on Saturday from Flushing. A variety of reports were immediately in circulation on the coast. It was said by some that the island of Walcheren had surrendered to our troops without resistance. Others, that a considerable body of French troops had been collected in the island, and that the resistance would be obstinate. A Dutchman who arrived in the cutter says, that the crews of the vessels at Flushing have deserted and gone to the interior.
Government had not when our paper went to press received any account of the troops having disembarked.— Courier .  The Prague Gazette of the 14th ult. contains an account of the defeat of the army of Gen. Junot by the united corps of Radewosvich, Kienluayer, and the duke of Brunswick Oels, near Barenth.
It was reported at Dover on Saturday that Flushing had surrendered without opposition, not to the expedition, which had not then arrived, but to the British squadron which arrived off that station on Tuesday sennight the French squadron having returned up the Scheldt.

FROM THE TWENTY-SEVENTH BULLETIN  ZNAIM, July 12.  On the 10th the duke of Rivoli beat the
rear guard of the enemy before Hollobrunn. On the 12th, at noon, the emperor arrived opposite Znaim. The battle had begun.—The duke of Ragula had attacked the city, and the duke of Rivoli had taken the bridge and occupied the tobacco manufactory. We took from the enemy in the different engagements on this day, 3000 men, 2 standards, and 3 pieces of cannon.
The emperor informed that Prince John of Lichtenstein had entered our out-posts, ordered the firing to cease. The annexed armistice was signed at the prince of Neufchatel. Prince Lichtenstein was presented to the emperor at two in the morning in his tent.  (Here follows the armistice already published in our paper.)

Twenty Dollars Reward.  STOLEN, from the subscriber, near Elk-run church, in the county of Fauquier, on the night of the 9th instant, a stout made bright bay HORSE , about 15 hands high, 11 or 12 years old last spring, he has a few saddle galls on his back without hair, and several small white spots produced from the saddle, his left fore and hinder foot white as high as the ancle, shod all round with smooth heel shoes, with but three nails in the outer part of the shoe on the left hind foot.  I am apprehensive he has been taken by a man of the name of HEYDEN , from Maryland, who was liberated from the county of Culpepper a few days since where he has been imprisoned since last spring for similar acts, as he was seen making towards Alexandria on Sunday, upon a horse that answers the description.  HEYDEN is about 5 feet 10 inches high, light hair, his face remarkably red with scars resembling those of the small pox, produced from pimples with which his face is very generally covered.  I will give the above reward for the apprehension of the thief, with the horse, so as he may be brought to justice, or Ten Dollars for information of the horse so that he may be recovered.  John B.

For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant Fevers,
Lee's Anti-bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee and Son.
Persons wishing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for Lee's Anti-bilious Pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper the signature of Richard Lee and Son.—This is necessary, as there are other pills of the same name.
The operation of these highly esteemed pills is perfectly mild, and the experience of thousands has proved, they may be used in every situation in life without the least inconvenience or danger.
They are admirably adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions: to restore the appetite, produce a regular habit of the body, promote free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, so often attended with fatal consequences to the lives of thousands, and seldom, if ever, fail to remove a cold, if taken on, if taken on its first appearance. Habitual costiveness, and its opposite, are removed by their wholesome influence, as also those diseases arising from them, headaches and sickness at the stomach.
It is almost unnecessary to state, that on the regular habit of the system, the health of mankind depends. To conduct to this all this important object, perhaps no medicine was ever more generally successful than these pills: they never do harm and at least nine times out of ten afford relief to those who use them for the purposes for which they were intended.
With the most perfect confidence we recommend these pills to the public, and will only further add, that their operation is always pleasant, and that they leave nothing of that costiveness behind them too often attending medicines designed for similar purposes.
Ten years have justified us in stating these facts, during which we have had a very extensive and constantly increasing sale for this truly valuable medicine.
To the Ladies,
Whose laces and complexion are injured with Freckles, Pimples, Black Worms, Tan or Ayburn, Ringworms, Prickly Heat, &c.
To those persons is recommended
Lee's Persian Lotion,
A certain remedy for removing those disagreeable barriers to beauty, the proprietors with the most sacred regard to truth, and the credit of those medicines, assure the afflicted that all the different appearances above enumerated, are in a short time subdued by wetting the parts affected, with this pleasant fluid, according to the directions on each bottle.
Persons therefore who regard, either what is due to themselves, or the favor and opinion of the world, who can distinguish between the comeliness of health, and the deformity of disease, and who can weigh the advantages which belong to and are inseparable from an engaging appearance, to which perhaps they themselves, have by nature, the strongest claims, are seriously assured these advantages so far as belong to a good skin, are to be obtained by the use of his Lotion, however violently they may happen to be afflicted.
Instead of the studious and debilitating courses of medicines which patients went through formerly, and which perhaps they are still too frequently obliged to undergo, it is now found that the greatest number of these complaints are most certainly & speedily removed by the use of local remedies merely, than they ever were by a contrary course.
LEE'S LOTION
Is celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face and skin, of every kind, it operates mildly without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is so essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth. Sold at the Bookstore.
The article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of
RICHARD LEE & SON.
Persons not attending to the above, are liable to be imposed upon.

With pleasure I do return my sincere thanks to the above named ladies, and many others who have favored me with their certificates and custom in the purchase of Yarwood's Pa-tent Washing Machine. I find them still in great demand in this place, but finding a very great scarcity of plank to answer the purpose of making them here, I shall in a few days or weeks commence making them to the south-ward. But will endeavor to supply others at a short notice after my return. I have a few now made on hand, which can be had if ap-plied for soon.
