PARIS, November 20.
The public were yesterday in expectation of receiving confirmation of the news afloat for some days past, upon the entry of the French into Vienna, which was to have taken place on the 19th Brumaire (10th November); but the 21st Bulletin, which the Moniteur gives dated from Molk the same day, making no mention of this desirable event, seems to belie the news. However, if it be observed that on the morning of the eighteenth, Prince Murat was only ten or twelve leagues from Vienna, and that he detached the same day a corps of dragoons towards that city, from whence the emperor and his court had already departed, it will readily be conceived that, there being no further resistance the first division of the army may already have entered that capital the 19th, and possibly the emperor Napoleon himself may have made his entry the same evening that the Bulletin is dated.
In the circumstance of such moment, it is not astonishing that public rumours should precede a few days the official reports. It is possible that spurious communications, or fame that gains in its carriage, arrive sooner and are mutilated by the exaggeration of public avidity. For instance rumour was yesterday so busy as to spread news of peace, the details of which are so very vague and uncertain that no attention can as yet be paid to them. It was added that lord Harrowby is to stipulate for England, in the general treaty. Be this as it may, peace was certainly not the primitive object of the noble lord's mission.
But it is the fate of Mr. Pitt ever to see his projects turn in an extraordinary manner. The denouement of his political drama has the quality required by Aristotle; it is always unforeseen. The expedition that he has so long been meditating is at length sailed, against all expectation. He wished to silence the laughers; but, to avoid one reproach, he exposes himself to receive a greater. The delay attending it was a ridicule; the expedition itself, in such circumstances, is a capital fault, a fresh blunder if its projector be not assured of his means. Mr. Pitt begins to grow distracted; he entangles himself in the nets which his own pretty tricks first spread for him; he has lost his senses before he has lost his ministry.
But, to return to the affairs of the continent, whatever truth or falsehood there may be in the new rumors in circulation, we can blame nobody for crediting them. So many wonders are wrought in so short a time, render every thing credible. It is more natural to suppose that the French will make peace in Vienna, than it was to presume that they would be there forty-five days after their quitting Strasbourg. This war, which may hereafter be called the Sixty Weeks War , will be more celebrated in history than the Seven Years War , or even the Thirty Years War ; and if no other war is more replete with extraordinary events, it is reasonable to believe that the peace which must follow it, will have more important results for the future tranquility of Europe.
Twentieth Bulletin of the Grand Army.
LINTZ, 16th Brumaire, (7th Nov.) year 14-
The engagement of Amstetten did great honor to the cavalry, and particularly to the 9th and 10th regiments of hussars, and to the grenadiers of the division of general Oudinot.
The Russians have since accelerated their retreat; they in vain cut down the bridges upon the Ips, which were quickly re-established, and prince Murat arrived as far as the abbey of Molk.
A reconnoitering party has posted off to Bohemia. We have taken very considerable magazines, both at Freystadt and at Mattruhausen.
Marshal Mortier with a corps of the army, is manoeuvring upon the left bank of the Danube.
A deputation from the senate is just arrived at Lintz. The elector of Bavaria is expected here in two hours.
Lintz, 17 Brumaire, (8th Nov.) year 14. The elector of Bavaria and the electoral prince arrived yesterday evening at Lintz. Lieutenant general, count de Giuay, sent the emperor of Austria, arrived here the night. He has had a very long conference with the emperor. The object of the mission is unknown.
At the battle of Amstetten we took 1800 prisoners, 700 of whom are Russians. Prince Murat has established his headquarters at the abbey of Molk. His advanced
posts are near St. Polten (St. Hypolite.)
On the 17th, general Marmont directed his march towards Leoben. On his arrival at Weger, he met the regiment of Giuay, charged it & took 400 prisoners, among whom one colonel and several officers. He continued his march. All the columns of the army are in grand manoeuvre.
Twenty-First Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Molk, 19th Brumaire, 10th Nov. year 14.
On the 16th Brumaire, the army of Marshal Davoust directed its march from Steyer to Naydhoffen. Marienzzell and Lilienfeld. By this movement, it extended its front beyond the left of the enemy's army, which was supposed to be ready to make a stand on the heights of St. Hypolite; and from Lilienfeld, it marched towards Vienna by the high road leading directly to it.
On the 17th the advanced guard of this Marshal being yet several leagues from Marienzzell, met the corps of gen. Meerfeldt which was marching towards Neustadt for the purpose of covering Vienna on that side. The general of brigade, Heudlet, commander of Marshal Davoust's advanced guard, attacked the enemy with the greatest vigour, routed him, and pursued him for the space of five leagues.
The result of this engagement of Marienzzell was the taking of three stands of colours, 16 pieces of cannon and 4,000 prisoners, among whom are the colonels of the regiments Joseph de Colledora and Deutschmeister, and five majors.
The 13th regiment of light infantry, and the 108th regiment of the line behaved admirably well.
On the 18th in the morning, Prince Murat arrived at St. Hypolite. He gave direction to the general of brigade of dragoons, Sebastiani, to push forward towards Vienna. All the court and grandees have left that capital. It has been already announced at the advanced posts, that the Emperor was preparing to quit Vienna.
The Russian army has effected its retreat to Kremms by re-crossing the Danube, fearing, no doubt, to see its communications with Moravia cut off by the movement which Marshal Mortier made on the left bank of the Danube.
General Marmont must have passed beyond Leoben.
The abbey of Molk where the Emperor lodges, is one of the finest in Europe. There is not, either in France or Italy, any convent or abbey that can be compared to it. It is in a strong position, and commands the Danube. It was one of the principal posts of the Romans, and was called the iron house, built by the Emperor Commodus.
The cellars and vaults of the abbey were full of very good Hungarian wine; which has been of great help to the army, having for this long time been without any; but we are now in the wine country; there is a great deal in the environs of Vienna.
The emperor ordered a particular safe guard to be placed at the castle of Lustcloss, a small country seat belonging to the emperor of Austria, on the left bank of the Danube.
The avenues of Vienna on this side do not resemble the avenues of great capitals. From Lintz to Vienna there is but one high road; a great many rivers, such as the Ips, the Elaph, the Molk, the Trasen &c. have only bad wooden bridges over them. The country is covered with forests of pine trees; at every step inexpugnable positions, where the enemy in vain endeavored to make a stand. He was always apprehensive of seeing himself passed and turned by the columns which manoeuvred beyond his flanks.
From the Inn thither, the Danube is beautiful; its prospects are picturesque; its navigations down the river, rapid and easy.
All the intercepted letters speak only of the frightful chaos which Vienna exhibits. The war was undertaken by the Austrian cabinet against the advice of all the princes of the imperial family. But Collecedo, led by his wife, who, a French woman, bears the most envied hatred to her country: Cobenzel accustomed to tremble at the very name of a Russian, in the persuasion that every thing must end before them and to whom, moreover, it is possible the agents of England may have found means to introduce themselves; in fine, that miserable Mack, who had already acted such a great part for the renewal of the second coalition, these are the influences that have proved stronger than those of all wise men and of all the members of the imperial family.
There is not the meanest citizen, the lowest subaltern but is conscious that this war is advantageous only for the English; that they are the artifices of the misfortunes of Europe, as, by their monopoly, they are the authors of the exorbitant price of provisions.
MINISTRY OF WAR.
ARMY OF ITALY.
The Marshal of the empire, Massena, commander in chief of the army of Italy, to the marshal of the empire Berthier, Minister of War.
At the headquarters of St. Martin, 17th Brumaire (29th Oct.) year 14.
According to the march of the grand army, Monsieur le Marechal, and always guided by the idea of conforming my movements to theirs, I attacked the enemy this morning about five o'clock. The following is the statement of my dispositions and of their result:
General Seras, commanding on my left, the 5th division, had orders to cross the Adige at Polo. The object of his movement was to stop the troops that might come down from the valley of the Adige and from the valley Polifelle.
I had ordered general Verdier, commanding at my right, the 2d division, to manoeuvre with the troops which compose it and four regiments of cavalry, from Ronco as far as Alabro, so as to disquiet the enemy.
At the moment appointed for the execution of these movements, I made the 1st division, commanded by general Gardanne, and the 4th commanded by general Duhesme cross the bridge of the old castle of Verona. These troops vigorously attacked the heights of the Val Pantene, and turned round the castle of St. Felice. Profiting then of the advantage of their position, I forced the enemy to evacuate Veronetta. The pallisades of the new bridge were immediately knocked down, and the division of horse rangers under the orders of general Espagne, that of grenadiers under the orders of gen. Paturneau, the reserve of cavalry commanded by general Monnet, and the 3d division commanded by general Molitor, crossed Veronetta and gained the high road of St. Michel, where the Austrians opposed us with infantry and cavalry, protected by several pieces of cannon. I ordered different charges of cavalry, which were executed with vigor, and which I caused to be supported by companies of grenadiers placed at the right and left of the road; the enemy was routed, the village of St. Michel carried, and in one of these charges the squadron of my guides made 500 infantry lay down their arms.
The division of Molitor powerfully seconding the march of our grenadiers, we drove the Austrians before us beyond St. Martin, and we at length took position at Vago. I shall pursue my advantages to morrow morning, and will drive the enemy as far as I can. He has left great numbers on the field of battle; we took about 1500 prisoners, and two pieces of cannon. We have on our side lost very few men, and have had only a hundred wounded.
I learn this evening that general Seras has happily executed his movement, and that in taking possession of the positions which I had indicated he has made a certain number of prisoners.
I cause to be taken towards Peschiera the barks found at Veronetta, to carry over the division Verdier.
I shall take care, Monsieur le Marechal, to inform you of my further movements, I have every reason to bestow on the ardor and intrepidity of our troops. Be kind enough to render them to his Majesty, the Emperor and the King the testimony that they burn to imitate the example of the grand army, and that they will take care to deserve to share in the noble rewards which his Majesty knows so well how to bestow upon valor.
I have the honor to salute you, MASSENA.
MILAN, November 7.
Extract of a Private letter.
Our public credit has lately signified itself by one of those traits which characterize an order of things upon which opinion is not even in any uncertainty. Government, to complete an unforeseen and urgent operation, had occasion for between 11 & 12,000 livres in ready money; the bankers and traders of Milan hastened to present it this sum; and would accept no interest for the two or three months which are to elapse before its reimbursement.
We there had within less than 45 leagues from us 70 or 72,000 Austrians; they were only separated from our territory by the Adige. They had in presence an army fain to be inferior in number, and no fear, no indication of intelligence with the enemy manifested itself throughout the kingdom of Italy; not a single internal movement was attempted; not a single arrest seemed to be necessary; not a single extraordinary measure was taken. A government a hundred years old would not have preferred a firmer, and at the same time, calmer attitude; it would not have been surrounded by more confidence, nor would it have shown a more honorable one for its people.
Here, as at Paris, we were beforehand convinced, that nothing would resist the genius of Napoleon. However, we had not guessed that new art which consists in taking whole armies by dint of skilful combinations; we had not suspected that, in a campaign of eight days, the prodigies of a life already full of miracles, would be repeated and almost surpassed.
Translated from the Journal de l'Empire.
NUREMBERGH, Nov. 1.
We now know in a positive manner what to believe of the intentions of Prussia towards all the belligerent powers. A new rescript of the Prussian cabinet, addressed to the inhabitants of the Prussian provinces in Franconia, removes all doubts. The regencies of the Margraviates of Anspach and Bareuth immediately caused it to be published with the following introduction:
"It has been lately made known to all the Prussian authorities, that all foreign armies shall be proceeded against, to avoid all species of excess, in the same manner and with the greatest impartiality. But as though misunderstandings and ignorance of the true intentions of the government, it has been reported that H. M. the king of Prussia wished to take an active part in the war, it has been enjoined us to make known to the people, that the military preparations of Prussia merely relate to the maintenance of the strictest neutrality; that the measures hitherto taken are only intended to insure the guarantee of the same, and that no other interpretation must be given them. We in consequence repeat to all the authorities, and order them to make known to those under their jurisdiction, that all the reports touching the participation of H. M. in the war, are destitute of all foundation; and this declaration is made in order to prevent and hinder all illegal acts on the part of individuals and communities."
PRAGUE, November 4.
The states of the kingdom of Bohemia have this day held an extraordinary sitting, in which they have deliberated on the measures necessitated by present circumstances and their own obligations. The members resolved by acclamation to sacrifice their lives and fortunes for the monarch, who at the present critical moment is in want of their energetic co-operation: and as a proof of their attachment and fidelity, it was resolved to make him a voluntary gift of four millions of Florins.
HAGUE, November 10.
All the disquiétudes so industriously spread in this country, upon the object of the grand English expedition are already dissipated. The British fleet has landed the troops on board at Cuxhaven, from whence they are to march to join the Russians and Swedes. It is not known whether the Prussians, who occupy the greater part of the Electorate of Hanover, will permit them to attack the French who are shut up in the fortresses of Hameln, or whether the protection of the king of Prussia will extend the privileges of neutrality over the Electorate. Be it as it may, the accounts differ as to the number of the English troops, which, within these six days, has been laid to amount to twelve thousand men. This army is commanded by the Duke of York and Albany in proper person. His two warlike brothers the Dukes of Cumberland and Cambridge command under him; the former, the cavalry, and the latter the infantry. There are nine Lieutenant Generals and sixteen Major Generals under the orders of these three valiant brothers. If the number of the colonels and superior officers be in like proportion, the greater part of these troops are not Soldiers!
HAVRE, November 14.
Ere yesterday a small bark carrying Prussian colours was detained here, by a measure of safety. She was sailing up the Seine, and bound, as she said, for St. Malo, had strayed up the river, through a mistake in her reckoning. So great an error, added to the English build of this vessel, cast a suspicion on her design.
METZ, November 14.
According to private letters just arrived, it appears certain that there will be a Congress held at Munich, and that Europe will enjoy a durable peace.
STRASBURG, Nov. 16.
On the 9th Nov. marshal Augereau's headquarters were at Stockach. On the 10th he set out anew on his march; the right column of his army struck off towards Buckhorn and filed along the upper part of the Eastern borders of the Lake of Constance by Laugenger to Lindau and Bregenz. The centre column directed its march from Psulendorff to Savenspurge, and from thence by Wangen and Yssay to Immenstadt. The left column which departed from Moeskirch on the 10th, marched off by Waldsee and Lentkirch to Kempten, where it was to learn its further destination. If it be true as it is asserted, that the Austrian gen. Wolfskehl has surrendered by capitulation to a column sent against him by Marshal Ney, from Innsbruck and which cut off his retreat, marshal Augereau will have the moment no enemy to fight against, and may act in concert with marshal Ney, against the Italian Tyrol.
November 17.
The city of Vienna has just opened its gates for the first time to a victorious army. This glory was reserved for Frenchmen. Our troops have entered it. An extraordinary courier who arrived here last night brought this intelligence, but at his setting out the emperor had not arrived there. He was however immediately expected to make his solemn entry into that capital, and afterwards repair to Munich.

are a congress is to be opened for the establishment of peace, overtures for which have already been made. It is commonly asserted that the king of Prussia will employ his mediation, and that count Haugwitz, who was lately at Vienna, will repair for this purpose to Munich.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
GIBRALTAR, Nov. 2.
The American ship Cincinnatus , Wm. Kidd, master, twenty days from Salem, with pepper for Leghorn, was captured and carried into Gibraltar, by his Britannic Majesty's brig Children , about the 5th of October. The Spanish camp before Gibraltar, was breaking up.
Admiral Louis, with the squadron under his command, went through the Gut of Gibraltar on the 29th of October.
The brig Harriot , Anderson, has arrived at Gibraltar in twenty one days from Malta, a few days before he left the island transports had sailed for Corsu, to bring seventeen thousand Russians, who were to go in Sir James Craig's army; ten thousand were to come on board the Russian squadron, and several horse ships, when fitting, were to sail ten days after.
Only three of Lord Nelson's prizes have arrived here, to wit, the Swiftsure , San Ildefonso , and San Juan Nepomuceno of 74 guns.
The Redoubtable was so dreadfully shattered, that soon after striking her colours to the Victory , she went to the bottom with most of her crew, so that Nelson's fall was greatly avenged.
The Victory in this decisive action, had in the whole thirty four men killed and seventy eight wounded. Amongst the former besides the gallant admiral, were Mr. Scott, his secretary, the captain of marines and one of the lieutenants of the ship.
The loss was chiefly sustained while going into action, when as the leading ship of the division, she had to sustain the fire of eight of the enemy's ships, for nearly twenty minutes before she returned a gun. She also suffered considerable loss from the musketry of the enemy, but so tremendous and well directed was the fire from the Victory , that every ship on which she got her guns to bear, was silenced in the course of a few broad sides.
The Redoubtable alone had no less than thirty of her guns dismounted, and for a considerable time before she struck, she did not return a single shot.
It was his lordship's intention to have engaged the Bucentaur , at first if he could have distinguished her; but singular as it may appear, no person on board could discover the French admiral's flag to be flying during the whole of the day, though the Victory was for a considerable time within pistol shot of her and handled her so severely, as to render her incapable of taking any share in the engagement afterwards.
Three of the French ships in the action, who had no part in the action, and one of which carried a rear admiral's flag, had the inhumanity and cowardice, as they were making their escape, to fire for a considerable time upon the Santissima Trinidad , and several other of the crippled Spanish prizes, after they had surrendered to us, which from their situation, were incapable either of opposition or flight; and an immense number of the Spaniards were killed and wounded, from this unprecedented and bloody deed of their good and faithful allies.
We solemnly pledge our credit for the truth of this extraordinary fact to which every officer on board our victorious squadron now in the bay can bear witness. Indeed such was the indignation felt and expressed by the Spaniards, at the conduct of the French, that when two days after the action, seven of the enemies ships came out of Cadiz, in hopes of retaking some of the disabled prizes, the crew of the Argonaut , in a body, offered their services to the British officer who had charge of the prize, to man the guns against any of the French ships; and they were actually stationed at the lower deck for that purpose whilst the English seamen manned those of the upper deck.
The English officer on board returned all the Spanish officers their arms, and placed the most implicit confidence in the honor of the Spaniards, which he had no reason to repent, as though their numbers were so superior as easily to have enabled them to retake the ship, yet they, on every occasion, showed the utmost submission and good conduct, and declared that, if a Spanish ship came along side of them, they would quietly go below, and leave the English to act for themselves.
The British fleet, in this glorious victory, is not supposed to have had twelve
hundred men killed and wounded, the loss having chiefly fallen upon a few of the leading ships, and not a single ship on our part is missing. The enemy, on the contrary, have had twenty ships of the line taken or destroyed, four of which, viz. the St. Anna , the Santissima Trinidad , the Bucentaur and Algesiras , were flag ships; whilst seven of their admirals, and upwards of twenty thousand of their seamen and soldiers, have been killed, wounded or taken prisoners, in this memorable victory.
Lord Nelson, before his death, expressed his desire, that he should be buried near his late venerable father, unless his country should wish to dispose of his body otherwise.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 13.
EX-BASHAW OF TRIPOLI.
A few minutes after the house had proceeded to business this day, a message in writing from the president of the United States, was delivered to the speaker.
The message and the documents accompanying it were very long. It stated that he laid before the senate and house of representatives the application for assistance of the ex-bashaw of Tripoli, Hamet Caramelli. It takes a view of that part of the war with Tripoli, where Mr. Eaton joined the forces of the ex-bashaw.
It appears that after putting the ex-bashaw into possession of the city of Derne, a place of great importance in that country, he was unable to raise a force sufficient to co-operate with us by land against Tripoli, and that colonel Lear, for this amongst other reasons, when all was ready for an attack by sea, thought it the best time to negotiate for peace.
It also appears that the ex-bashaw's expectations went to being placed on the throne by means of the American force. This hope is, by the message of this day, called a "mistaken idea." It also admits that all the ex-bashaw got by the peace, was, and that with considerable difficulty, the release of his family. So far as to the message at present, it being ordered to be printed.
It is clear from the communication, that after the unfortunate Hamet had obtained the release of his family, he had not where-withal to maintain them, or even the means of securing their safety, or perhaps his own life. It did not appear in what part of the world the unhappy man has taken refuge; but, from one of the documents accompanying the message we are told that Mr. Eaton and lieutenant Obannan had resolved to conquer or perish with Hamet. Mr. Eaton avows a co-operation with him, which he admits to be synonymous to an alliance. This admission, recognized by the president, certainly places him upon the footing of an ally. It will therefore behove congress to look into the state in which we left this ally, when Mr. Lear patched up this peace.
As soon as the message, and a memorial from Georgia about the boundaries of that state and North Carolina, in which they could not agree, had been read, Mr. Jackson undertook to turn us this day out of the gallery, by moving to have the doors closed. This is either the ninth or tenth day of secret business.
Closed Doors. —When Federalists ruled, to close the doors of congress two or three times during the session, excited all the fears of the Democrats for the safety of the constitution; and immediately, the "organ of the public will" sounded the alarm which was re-echoed by the tools of the party from one end of the union to the other. The cry then was, that a government of a free country should not keep any secret, no not for an instant, from the view of the people; and it was promised that, if Mr. Jefferson were made President, the proceedings of every kind whatever should be carried on under the most public inspection. What has the sequel produced? It has produced, in this as in numberless other instances, a conduct directly the reverse of all the expectations which the party took such incessant pains to create. The fact will warrant us, it is believed, in asserting that during the one month the present congress have been in session, the doors of the house have been more frequently closed than they were any whole session during the twelve years of the Federal administration. Not a week now passes in which
the sovereign people are not turned out of doors by their servants, and we observe that for three days successively, since the commencement of the present month, the doors have been closed part of each day. But these gentry who formerly were so uneasy on such occasions, now when the constitution is actually impaired, are as silent as the grave and seem to think that Mr. Jefferson and his most wise and enlightened congress "can do no wrong."

BIOGRAPHY.
FROM THE LOUISIANA GAZETTE. Biographical Sketch of the late Col. Thomas Butler.
The character and actions of meritorious men, in all ages, have been read with pleasure. It is a tribute due to virtue to record the actions of those who are worthy of emulation. Our country is as it has long been at peace; war achievements and warlike men are almost forgotten; unless when a newspaper announcement in a few lines, the death of some revolutionary chief; and the type has not been employed in recording the death of one more lamented than the late Col. Thomas Butler. It virtue, honor, benevolence, honesty, a found heart, and a clear head, united with bravery, constitute a good man, he possessed them. He was in the year 1775 (the year that is so much boasted of—that tried men's souls,) a student at law with the eminent Judge Wilson of Philadelphia; early in that year he quitted his studies and joined the army as a subsistence; soon rose to the grade of Captain, and continued in it till the happy and glorious close of the revolution. There were 5 brothers of the Butlers that joined the American cause, and fought during the war, and left the service with the following grade, viz. Col. Richard Butler, Col. Wm. Butler, Captain Thomas Butler, Lieut. Pierce Butler, and Lieut. Edward Butler, none of them now living but Pierce Butler. Thomas Butler, whose memory we wish to perpetuate, was in almost every action that was fought in the middle Rars during the war; at the battle of Brandywine he received the thanks of the illustrious Washington, on the field of battle, through his aide camp Gen. Hamilton, for his intrepid conduct in rallying a detachment of retreating troops, and giving the enemy a severe fire. At the battle of Monmouth he received the thanks of General Wayne for defending a defile in the face of a heavy fire from the enemy, while Col. Richard Butler's regiment made good their retreat; at the close of the war he retired into private life as a farmer, where he enjoyed rural and domestic happiness until 1791, when he again took the field to meet a savage foe, that menaced our frontier, and the unfortunate fourth of November, of that year, is too well known! He was dangerously wounded, and with difficulty and great hazard, his brother, Capt. Edward Butler, got him off the field, where they left Gen. Richard Butler a corpse!! In 1792 he was continued on the establishment as Major, and was promoted in 1794 to Lieut. Col. Commandant of the 4th Sub-legion; He commanded fort Fayette at Pittsburg that year, when his name alone (for he had but few troops) prevented the deluded insurgents from taking the fort. In 1797 he was named by president Washington as the officer best calculated to command in the State of Tennessee, when it was necessary to dispossess some citizens that had imprudently settled on the Indian lands; accordingly in May of that year he marched with his regiment from the Miami on the Ohio, and by that prudence and good sense that ever marked his character through life, he, in a short time removed all difficulties, to the satisfaction of those concerned—as a firm and lasting proof of it, he holds the respect and esteem of all the virtuous men in the State. He made several successful treaties with the Indians while in the state of Tennessee. In the year 1802, at the reduction of the army, he was continued as Col. of the 2d regiment of Infantry on the peace establishment. Here his biographer stops—pauses—what can he write more? He can announce to the world that Col. Butler was arrested by the Commanding General in 1803, at Fort Adams on the Mississippi, sent to Frederick-Town, Maryland, where he was tried by a general Court Martial, and acquitted honorably of all the charges, except that of wearing his hair, which he held as a gift of nature, and was of opinion, that no power on earth had a legal right to take it from him—which opinion he held till his death. After his Trial he was ordered to New Orleans there to take command of the troops, which he did on the 20th October, 1804, and on the 20th November following was again arrested for not cropping off his hair!! And not until the first of July did a court convene for his second trial; the result of their decision is not yet known. Since his last arrest he lost his wife, who, like himself, was universally lamented by the good and virtuous. She died near Nashville, Tennessee. In consequence of her death and the deranged situation of his affairs, he solicited leave from the Honorable Secretary of War and the commanding general to return to Tennessee, as soon as the Court Martial was over. Alas! this application was passed over in silence, no answer was even given him! He was advised to move out of the city, which he did in the latter part of July, and on the 7th of September, paid, the great debt of nature, aged 51 years. He has left three sons and one amiable daughter to lament his loss; yes, and he has left the virtuous
world of his acquaintance to lament his loss; and none will feel it more severely than the valuable part of the army of all grades.
The writer of this short biography does not wish to wound the feelings of the prosecutor of the deceased; he himself is old, and will soon have to pay the debt that Colonel Butler has already paid. Comparison can then be made by the friends to virtue which of their walks in life were most worthy of imitation.
