SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, TUESDAY, JULY 11.
An account of the Battle fought near Aspern, on the Marchfield, on the 21st and 22d of May, 1809, between the archduke Charles of Austria, generalissimo of the Imperial Austrian armies, and the emperor Napoleon, commander in chief of the French and allied armies.
[CONCLUDED.]
Battle of the 22d of May.
Corps of Lieut. Gen. Hiller.
With the morning's dawn the enemy renewed his attacks, which far surpassed in impetuosity those of the preceding day. It was a conflict of valor and mutual exasperation. Scarcely had the French guards compelled gen. Wacquant to abandon Aspern, when the regiment of Klebek again penetrated into the burning village, drove back the choicest troops of the enemy, and engaged in a new contest in the midst of the conflagration, 'till, at the expiration of an hour, it was also obliged to give way. The regiment of Benjovsky now rushed in, and at the first onset gained possession of the church-yard, the walls of which field marshal lieut. Hiller immediately ordered the first division of pioneers to pull down, and the church, together with the parsonage, to be set on fire. Thus was this regiment, supported by some battalions commanded by gen. Bianchi, at length enabled to maintain itself at the entrance of the village, after overcoming the resistance, bordering on despair, opposed by the flower of the French army.
Neither could the enemy produce any farther effect upon the bushy meadow, after lieut. gen. Hiller had ordered the force there to be supported by two battalions of Anton Mitrowsky's and a battery; on which the Jagers, St. George's, and two battalions of Vienna volunteers, drove him from his advantageous position, which he never afterwards attempted to recover.
At about this time the left wing of the corps was likewise placed in security by 3 batteries sent by the lieut. gen. to support the general of cavalry, count Bellegarde, & the latter maintained his ground against the most desperate attacks of the enemy: the lieut. gen. Hiller kept his position on the left flank of the enemy, and the victory was decided in this quarter. The corps was therefore again formed in two lines, and thus awaited the approaching events.
Corps of the General of Cavalry, Count Bellegarde.
Count Bellegarde having received a message from gen. Wacquant that the enemy was assembling in force before Aspern, towards the Bushy Meadow, and apparently had in view an assault upon that point, was just going to throw a fresh battalion of Argenteau's into Aspern, when the enemy in heavy columns of infantry and cavalry, supported by a numerous artillery, began to advance upon the centre of the corps in the plain.
The troops stationed at Aspern, exhausted as they were with the incessant fire kept up during the night, were unable to withstand the impetuosity of the attack: their ammunition both for artillery and musketry began to fail, and general Wacquant retreated in good order to the church-yard. This post, gained at so dear a rate, was again taken from him, after several attacks sustained in conjunction with lieut. general Hiller; the place was alternately taken and lost, till at length the superiority of our fire obliged the enemy to abandon the houses, and a last assault of Hiller's corps prevented all farther attempts.
From the moment of the retaking of Aspern it became possible to oppose an offensive movement to the enemy advancing upon the centre, and to open upon his left flank a communication. The defence of Aspern was therefore left entirely to Hiller's corps, and while count Bellegarde occupied his right wing on Aspern, he formed his left and the centre in the direction of Esslingen, in such a manner that, by degrees, he gained the right flank of the ene-
my, compelled him to retreat, and, by the complete effect of the artillery, brought to bear upon the left wing, which commanded the whole space from Aspern to Esslingen, gave him a most severe defeat.
Corps of Lieutenant-General the Prince Hohenzollern.
The dawn of morning was with this corps also the signal for the renewal of the gigantic conflict. The enemy's infantry was drawn up in large divisions, and between it the whole of the heavy cavalry was formed en masses. The general of cavalry prince Lichtenstein, on observing this order of battle, perceived the necessity of keeping up a close communication with the infantry placed near him: he therefore drew up his right wing en echelon, behind the corps of infantry, but kept his left wing together, with reserves posted in the rear.
A prodigious quantity of artillery covered the front of the enemy, who seemed desirous to annihilate our corps by the murderous fire of cannon and howitzers. Upwards of 200 pieces of cannon were engaged on both sides and the oldest soldiers never recollected to have witnessed so tremendous a fire.
Vain was every effort to shake the intrepidity of the Austrian troops. Napoleon rode through his ranks, and according to the report of the prisoners, made them acquainted with the destruction of his bridge, but added that he had himself ordered it to be broke down, because in this case there would be no alternative but victory or death. Soon afterwards the whole of the enemy's line put itself in motion, and the cavalry made its principal attack on the point where the corps of cavalry of prince Lichtenstein communicated with the left wing of lieutenant general the prince of Hohenzollern. The engagement now became general; the regiments of Rohan, d'Aspre, Joseph Colloredo and Stein, repulsed all the attacks of the enemy. The generals were everywhere at the head of their troops, and inspired them with courage and perseverance. The archduke himself seized on the colors of Zach's, and the battalion, which had already begun to give way, followed with new enthusiasm his heroic example. Most of those who surrounded him were wounded, his adjutant general, count Colloredo, received a ball in his hand, the wound from which was considered dangerous, a squeeze of the hand signified to him the concern of his sympathizing commander, who filled with the contempt of death, now fought for glory and for his country.
The attacks of our impenetrable corps, both with the sabre and the bayonet, so rapidly repeated and so impetuous, as to be unparalleled in military annals, frustrated all the intentions of the enemy.
He was beaten at all points, and astonished at such undaunted intrepidity, he was obliged to abandon the field of battle.
About this time lieut. gen. the prince of Hohenzollern observed on his left wing near Esslingen, a chasm which had been formed during the heat of the engagement, and afforded an advantageous point of attack. — Freisch's regiment, commanded by colonel Meesery, was ordered thither in three corps and repulsed four regiments of cavalry, accompanied with infantry and artillery. The corps remained in the position which they had taken, till the grenadiers of the reserve, which the archduke had ordered forward from Brientenlee, arrived to relieve the battalions exhausted with the sanguinary conflict, and continued the attack upon the centre of the enemy's position. Lieut. gen. D'Aspre penetrated with the four battalions of grenadiers of Pizezinsky, Putcany, Scovaux and Scarlach, without firing a shot to the enemy's cannon, where he was flanked by such a destructive fire from Esslingen, that nothing but the presence of the archduke, who hastened to the spot, could have induced his grenadiers to maintain their ground. Captain count Dombasle had already reached the enemy's battery, when he was wounded by two balls, and quitted the field.
About noon the archduke ordered a new assault upon Esslingen, which was immediately undertaken by field marshal lieut. D'Aspre, with the grenadier battalions of Kirchenbeter and Scovaux on the left, and Scarlach and Gregory in front. Five times did these gallant troops rush up to the very walls of the houses, burning internally, and placed in a state of defence; some of the grenadiers thrust their bayonets into the enemy's loop holes; but their efforts were fruitless, for their antagonists fought the fight of despair. The archduke ordered the grenadiers to take up their former position, and when they afterwards volunteered to renew the assault, he would not permit them as the enemy was then in full retreat.
Corps of Field Marshal Lieutenant Prince Rosenberg.
Both divisions of this corps, which, in advancing to the engagement, had composed the 4th and 5th columns, were formed
before the break of day for a new attack, for which the enemy likewise made preparation on his side, but with a manifest superiority in numbers.
Prince Rosenberg resolved to attack the village of Esslingen with the archduke Charles's regiment of infantry, to push forward his other troops in battalions, and in particular to go and meet the enemy, who was advancing in the open country between Esslingen and the nearest arm of the Danube.
The village was already gained, & his battalions advancing on the left, obliged the enemy, drawn up in several lines to yield. — The most violent cannonade was kept up incessantly on both sides, and it was sustained by the troops with the greatest fortitude.
Favored by a fog, which suddenly came on, the enemy's heavy cavalry ventured to attack on all sides the corps formed by Sztarray's and Hiller's regiments of infantry. — These brave fellows received them with fixed bayonets, and at the last moment poured in their fire with such effect, that the enemy was compelled to betake himself to flight with considerable loss. Five times were these attacks on Sztarray's and Hiller's regiments repeated, and each time they were repelled with equal courage and resolution. The cavalry contributed all that lay in their power to the pursuit of the enemy and the support of the infantry.
Coburg's, the archduke Louis's, and Czaforisky's regiments belonging to the division of lieut. gen. Dedovich, stationed on the right, renewed the exertions of the preceding day, with the same distinction and the same success. After this severe conflict the enemy seem to have no inclination to expose himself to any fresh disaster, and confine himself merely to the operation of his superior artillery.
About 11 A. M. prince Rosenberg received orders from the archduke, commander in chief, to make a new attack upon Esslingen and a message to the same effect was sent to lieut. gen. Dedovich, who commanded the right division of this corps.
Prince Rosenberg immediately formed two columns of attack under the conduct of lieut. generals princes Hohenlohe and Rohan, while lieut. general Dedovich advanced against the citadel of the place, and the magazines surrounded with walls and ditches.
The attack was made with redoubled bravery, and our troops rushed with irresistible impetuosity into the village. Still, however, they found it impossible to maintain this post, into which the enemy kept continually throwing new reinforcements, which was of the utmost importance for covering his retreat, which he already resolved upon, and which he defended with an immense sacrifice of lives. Prince Rosenberg therefore resolved to confine himself to the obstinate maintenance of his own position, to secure the left flank of the army, and to decrease the embarrassment of the enemy by an incessant fire from all the batteries.
In the night between the 22d and 23d the enemy accomplished his retreat to the Lobau, and at three in the morning his rear guard also had evacuated Esslingen and all the towns which he had occupied on the left bank of the Danube. Some divisions pursued him closely, and took possession as near as possible of the necessary posts of observation.
Thus terminated a conflict of two days, which will be ever memorable in the annals of the world, and in the history of war. — It was the most obstinate and bloody that has occurred since the commencement of the revolution.
It was decisive for the glory of the Austrian arms, for the preservation of the monarchy, and for the correction of the public opinion.
The infantry has entered upon a new and brilliant career, and by the firm confidence it has manifested in its own energies, has paved the way to new victories. The enemy's cavalry has seen its acquired, but hitherto untried glory, dissipated by the masses of our battalions, whose cool intrepidity it was unable to endure.
Cavalry and artillery have surpassed themselves in valor, and in the space of two days have performed achievements sufficient for a whole campaign.
Three pieces of cannon, 7 ammunition waggons, 17,000 French muskets, and about 3,000 cuirasses fell into the hands of the conqueror. The loss on both sides was very great; this, and the circumstance that very few prisoners were taken by either party, proves the determination of the combatants either to conquer or die.
The Austrian army laments the deaths of 87 superior officers, 4199 subalterns and privates.
Lieutenant generals prince Rohan, Dedovich, Weber and Frenl; generals Winzingerode, Grill, Neustadler, Siegenthal,
Colloredo, May, Hohenfeld, and others, 663 officers, and 15,661 subalterns and privates were wounded. Of these, field marshal lieutenant Weller, 8 officers, and 100 men were taken prisoners by the enemy.
The loss of the enemy was probably greater and exceeds all expectation. It can only be accounted for by the effect of our concentric fire on an exceedingly confounded mass of battle, where all the batteries were one another, and calculated by the enemy's authentic data:
Generals Lasnes, D'Espagne, St. Hilaire and Albuquerque are dead; Massena, Soult, Moutier, Molitor, Boudet, Legr and Las are the two brothers Le grand, wounded. Durosnel and Fowler taken.
Upwards of 7000 men, and an immense number of horses were buried in the field of battle; 5000 and some hundreds lie in our hospitals. In Vienna and the suburbs there are at present 29,773 wounded; many were carried to St. Pölten, Enns, and as far as Linz, 2,300 were taken. Several hundred corps floated down the Danube, and still daily thrown upon its shores; met their death in the island of Lobau, since the water has fallen in the arms of the river, innumerable bodies are consigned by their comrades to everlasting oblivion, have become visible. The bury of the sufferers is not yet over, and a general air is wafted from the theatre of death.
His imperial highness, the generalissimo, has indeed undertaken the duty so dear to his heart of acquainting the monarch and country with the names of those who took the most active share in the achievements of these glorious days; but he acknowledges with profound emotion, that amidst their valorship of the highest military virtues, it is scarcely possible to distinguish the most eminent, and declares all the soldiers of Aspern worthy of public gratitude.
His imperial highness considers the intelligent disposition of the chief of his staff, general baron Wimpffen, and his important exertions as the foundation of the victory.
The officers commanding corps have rendered themselves deserving of the highest favors, by uncommon devotedness, personal bravery, warm attachment to their sovereign and their high sense of honor.
Their names will be transmitted to posterity, with the achievements of the valiant troops who were under their directions.
[Here follows a list of officers who distinguished themselves, which is uninteresting to the American reader. We observe in the commendations, that the mode of praise is alike given to the soldier or the general, by publishing the name of the former, with his achievements.]

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12.
From the Boston Palladium, Sept. 5 By the Evelina, which arrived yesterday from Halifax, we received papers to the 25th ult. There had been no recent arrivals at that place from Europe.
HALIFAX, August 25.
We last evening received American pa- pers from Boston to the 15th inst. inclusive and from the Nation Intelligencer of the 11th, we have copied the proclamation and circular letter, issued by the president of the U. S. These proceedings do not indi- cate any extraordinary warmth or asperity, on the part of the American government; but appear to result merely from the state to which the affairs of G. Britain and America have reverted in consequence of his majes- ty's ministers having declared the recent proceedings of Mr. Erskine unauthorised.
Extract of a letter from an American gentle- man of the first respectability at Natchito- ches, dated July 14th, 1809.
"Several persons are now here from Mexico. They inform that the provisional government of that place have determined to send every Frenchman out of the king- dom and its dependencies. Should this be the case they will no doubt emigrate to the banks of the Red river. Sixty families from Cuba have already arrived in this vil- lage and many more are daily expected.— When we reflect upon the disaffection of the old French settlers to the government of the United States, with their present and ex- pected accession of strength, our situation becomes truly critical and alarming. Gov. Claiborne, doubtless with a view of showing the wisdom and popularity of his adminis- tration, has grossly misrepresented the dis- position of the people of this country, and thereby lulled the government into a fatal security. It will be recollected that when the memorable expedition of general Wil- kinson to the Sabine was projected, the Frenchmen were called upon for militia du- ty openly resisted the authority that sum- moned them, and declared that they would rather unite with the enemy. At that time Spain was in alliance with France, and our Creoles considered the cause of the former power as their own, as it was the cause of France. Nevertheless gov. Claiborne short- ly afterwards in a pompous proclamation, declared that the Louisianians had made, and ever would make a stand against every enemy, foreign or domestic, that should at- tempt any thing against the peace or sove- reignty of the U. States, praising their pa- triotism and extolling their valor. By these things the government have been imposed upon and misled. The voice of truth has made no impression upon those who should be the guardians of our rights. We have told them of our danger: they have answered: "It is a calumny—the cry of a faction to which we will turn a deaf ear." But the time is at hand when it will be known, but I fear too late, who have been the faithful sentinels and who the de- ceivers. The Frenchmen are ripe for re- venge every day discovers some new proof of their disaffection; they say they are sub- jected to a people whose manners and cus- toms are entirely different from their own; people, the benefit of whose laws they cannot appreciate, and whom they always look upon, not as fellow citizens but as masters. Conscious of their strength and knowing how considerably it will be aug- mented, they look upon the few troops in garrisons here with the utmost contempt, and boldly deride our small military estab- lishment. "There is no American here who thinks himself safe. Our melancholy situation has already been made known to governor
Claiborne; but it is with the deepest regret, we have seen that he has not only suppress- ed our complaints but told to the world that the French inhabitants of Louisiana were friendly to the American government, ad- mired its laws, and respected its citizens.— And this is not all, many of the very men of whom we complained have been appoint- ed to office both civil and military. GOD knows what will be the result. Our ap- prehensions increase with the knowledge of a conspiracy at the head of which is Le Blanque, whose emissaries here have lately been so active as to convince us that the meditated blow will speedily be struck."
NEW-YORK, September 9.
Yesterday arrived at this port the ship Young Factor, Coffin, in 47 days from Bel- fast; and the schooner Morning Star, Smith, 48 days from Cadiz; but neither of these arrivals have furnished us with any politi- cal news.
Capt. Coffin, from Belfast, brought no papers later than the 14th of July; and capt Smith sailed from Cadiz, on the 21st July, but did not bring any Spanish newspapers or verbal news.
We understand, a letter received by the Morning-Star, from Cadiz, states, that the Junta of Spain had passed a decree, per- mitting the exportation of grain, flour, rice, beans and peas, free of duty, from all countries not at war with Spain;— and that the quarantine on vessels with bills of health, in the months of July, August and September, was reduced to 8 days;— and totally repealed for all the other months of the year.

The following VALUABLE PROPERTY.
A TRACT OF LAND,
CONTAINING 1600 acres, more or less, called and known by the name of Buffalo Marsh, lying within 12 miles of Winchester, in the county of Frederick, in the state of Virginia. On about 900 acres of this tract there are several very well improved farms tenanted for life or lives, the balance free of all incumbrance, including an excellent merchant, mill built with stone, the whole yielding an annual rent of about 800 dollars. Much of this tract is very fertile, well watered, and all abundance of timber. It is generally rolling, but part of it is hilly and stoney, chiefly of lime stone. It will be laid off to suit purchasers.
Another tract, called Hollis's Marsh, lying in the county of Westmoreland containing about 2800 acres, bordering on the river Potomac, adjoining the Stratford estate, and the late residence of Richard Lee, esq of Chantilly. On the estate are a number of arms and tenants at will. Part of this land is extremely fertile, and all of it as good as the lands generally are in that part of the country. The Marsh affords excellent range for stock, and is happily situated for fish and fowls of which that river abounds, and must be a desirable estate to any person who may choose to reside in that part of the country.—It will however be laid off to suit purchasers.
The above lands are held by deeds of purchase duly recorded in the general court,
Another tract containing 992 acres, lying in the county of Berkeley, adjoining the residence of Rawleigh Colston, esq of which about 660 acres is leased for the balance of the life of an aged man, the rest tenanted at will. This land is situated in what is called the big bend of Potomac, and borders on it. In point of fertility it is esteemed inferior to none in that part of the state and is held by deed from James Marshall, esq
Seven other tracts containing 1000 acres each, adjoining each other in the county of Mason, within a few miles of the Ohio, between the two Kanawha's on the waters of Sandy Creek, which runs through a considerable part of it. It adjoins the lands of general Washington, and the late Benjamin Harrison, jun esq. A large portion of it is rich bottom and the upland of very good quality. It is held under the original patentee by deeds duly recorded in the general court.
Five full & complete Shares in the Dismal Swamp Company.
Upwards of 16,000 acres of Lands, being very old military rights, lying in the states of Ohio, Kentucky and the Indiana territory, chiefly patented in my own name and ready to be shewn

The titles are all undoubted and the terms proposed are, one fourth in cash at the time of conveyance, the balance in three instalments the last two to be of interest from the date. Any species of the public stock and of the different Banks in the United States of Insurance Companies—the Potomac Bridge and Turnpike Companies will be received in payment according to their fair value. Ground rents in the city of Richmond and town of Alexandria, or Houses and Lots, will likewise be received in payment according to such rates as may be agreed upon.

TO MILLERS.
I HAVE invented a machine called a Wheat Rubber, for which I obtained a patent on the first day of this month. This machine may be seen in operation in the mill of Nathaniel Ellicott, Occoquan. Those millers who feel an interest in investigating its merit and have not an opportunity of visiting Occoquan, may be fully informed by application to Mr. Ellicott by letter. My Wheat-Rubber, I do verily believe is upon entire new principles, the cost of erecting it a trifle, the materials of which it is composed easily attainable in any part of our country, and the plan simple in the extreme: any workman of common capacity will be enabled to erect it from description only. Practical millers know, that in a great proportion of the wheat that comes to market (from the manner it is stacked in the fields by the farmers and exposed to the weather) a number of sprouted and unsound grains mingle with the mass, and has eluded the ingenuity of the miller to separate it from the sound grain—they also know those unsound grains injure materially the taste and color of flour—my machine not only frees the wheat of stone, onion, cockle, dirt, &c. but does absolutely take from it every unsound grain, from what cause soever it may have been injured, as my machine will not let any unsound wheat pass it—millers may have their screen wire much finer than hitherto used, and thereby save considerably—it will also be found that the grain in passing the rubber, is polished, and that even the eyes of the wheat is picked perfectly clean of dust or dirt. Some instances having occurred of certificates being obtained, saying much more in favor of a new invention than the public are willing to admit after trial—I hope it will be a sufficient apology for my taking a different course. My price for the privilege of using the rubber is fifty dollars for each pair of wheat stones the mill contains.
Letters directed to me post paid shall be attended to.

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 unremitting 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 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, than 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.
