THE XXVII BULLETIN: OR, The Great Battle of Wagram.
The Austrian army, as we have all along expected, and more than once predicted, has been overpowered by numbers, & compelled to retire from the borders of the Danube. It does not follow, however, that the conquest of Austria is completed, still less that of Turkey, Persia, and even India, as some of the Napolconites conclude. The idea is fallacious in the extreme. The armistice, which Bonaparte appears to have been as anxious for as the emperor of Austria, leaves the latter in the possession of Bohemia, Moravia, Hungary, and other provinces, with a population of from twelve to fifteen millions of people, an army of near two hundred thousand men, besides an immense militia, the most numerous artillery in the world, if the French tell truth upon that subject, and almost inexhaustible magazines of ammunition and provisions. How entiable is the situation of the Austrian monarch, compared with that of Frederick the Great, before the battle of Rosbach! dissipated that magnificent dream of Prince Kaunitz, the realization of which was to divide Europe between France and Austria, as Europe and Asia are now, according to some new political dreamers, to be divided between France and Russia.
The twenty-fifth bulletin is extremely obscure and unsatisfactory, which is never the case when the French achieve a real victory. The division of the army into right, left, and centre, is marked with sufficient clearness, but we have none of those details which alone can enable us to judge of particular operations. In the dawn of the morning of the 5th of July, we are told that the emperor had already turned the entrenchments on the enemy's left wing, and at nine in the evening he had done no more. The works of Gross Aspern were taken, and yet the next day there was a violent cannonade (an Austrian cannonade, if we can understand the bulletin) at Gross Aspern. It is evident that the French gained but little ground the first day, for they say that from noon till nine o'clock in the evening they manoeuvred in the vast plain of Enzersdorff. That they were forced to manoeuvre there so long proves the Austrian dispositions to have been most admirable. When night came on the enemy was every where put to flight and annihilated (this is not the ninth but certainly the fourth or fifth time that the French say they have annihilated the Austrians this campaign) but notwithstanding no enemy remained, the next day, and the dispositions of French and Austrian generals were opposed to each other! Wagram was taken in the night, but the French and the Saxons got at loggerheads in the dark, and the annihilated Austrians, ably profiting by this sad mistake, triumphantly repossessed that village. The French were met and resisted at every point, from day-break till noon on the second day of the battle, which, at the beginning of July, must have been seven or eight hours, and at last the French only regained their famous old position of Ebersdorff. After one battle of seventeen hours had been fought, without any material advance on the part of the French, the great Napoleon discovered that the archduke's dispositions were so unskillful that it would be no triumph to defeat him, and actually waited some time to see if he would not become ashamed of them himself, and run away without fighting a second time. Charles however, concluded to fight some eight or ten hours longer, and now Napoleon's movements were rapid beyond the conception of us poor mortals, who can form no adequate idea of the operations of an "Omnipotent Genius." In a moment the centre of the enemy lost a league of ground. What an awful "moment" was this! Omnipotence alone could remove a hundred thousand men a league in one moment. Binawood did not move so rapidly to Dunsinane. But in the mean time "our left wing was surrounded at 3000 times." Yes—Bonaparte tells us that his left wing was not only cut off, but surrounded by his "annihilated" and "unskillful" enemy, and there is every reason to believe that this most masterly manœuvre of the Aus-
trian commander failed of complete success only because his whole numbers were greatly inferior to those of the French. Altho' the emperor, at day-break, was astonished at the unskillfulness of the enemy, and ashamed to defeat them too soon, it was not till ten o'clock (after 24 or 25 hours fighting, besides the midnight contests at Wagram) that "intelligent men saw that the day was decided and the victory on our side," and it was not till a little "before night" that "the enemy was out of sight," unpursued, unmolested by the triumphant Gauls.
Evidently the truth is, that the archduke Charles, like an able and prudent commander, like Bonaparte himself at the battle of Esslingen, when he found that it was impossible to maintain his ground much longer, determined not to throw away the lives of his brave soldiers, but retired at his leisure, and in perfect order from the scene of battle. Bonaparte does not hint at a pursuit until his enemy was "out of sight." But there is one part of the bulletin that places this point beyond the possibility of doubt with every person who has any pretensions to military knowledge. The Austrians are said to have had 800 or 900 pieces of cannon, and the French only claim to have taken 40, of which 12 were taken on the first day of the battle, in the fortress of Sachsendang. Now every soldier knows that heavy cannon cannot be carried off in a confused and disorderly retreat, at least that many must be sacrificed. It is clear as the beams of day, therefore, that the retreat was an orderly and undisturbed one. A retreating army must necessarily yield many prisoners to the enemy. But as the French claim only 20,000, it is probable that the number actually taken, did not exceed half that number. We are satisfied that the Austrian forces in this battle, did not exceed from 140 to 150,000, and the French, including the German contingents, must have been at least 170 or 180,000. The killed and wounded on both sides could not be less than 70 or 80,000, and were probably equal on each side.
From the language of the 25th Bulletin, and the terms of the subsequent armistice, we are convinced also, that Napoleon despairs of the conquest of the Austrian empire, and will eventually evacuate it with his whole force, either with or without a treaty.
The battle of Wagram will not cause the laurels of Prince Charles to fade. It is to be considered that Bonaparte has forty or fifty generals almost equal to himself, and that there are very few able commanders in the Austrian service, besides the generalissimo. If the archduke be not the first captain of the day, he is not far inferior to the first. It is difficult to determine, all things considered, whether Napoleon, Moreau or Charles, be the first generals of the age. They are all great, all equal to the Cyruses and Epaminondases, the Hannibals and the Cæsars, of antiquity, the Pelagiuses and the Alfreds of the dark ages and the Fredericks and the Washingtons of more modern times.
FOREIGN.
VIA NEW-YORK.
Further extracts from London and Liverpool papers received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser by the ship Russell.
LONDON, July 20.
The Flora (American ship) arrived at Dover yesterday from the Dutch coast, having been warned by one of our cruisers, not to enter into any of the ports of Holland.—This precaution, while it indicates the destination of our force is very necessary, as the sailing of the expedition has been delayed longer than was expected, and consequently the chance of its being ascertained by the enemy has become greater.
It is reported that sir Robert Wilson has joined the British army marching against Spain; we hence infer that the command of the Portuguese legion, which he had raised and trained, will be restored to him. It now makes a part of the effective force of the 30,000 men under sir Arthur Wellesley.
Letters of a late date which have been received from Petersburg, via Hambro', mention that the emperor Alexander, with the grand duke Constantine, count Romanzof, and a numerous suite, accompanied by the duke of Friuli (marshal Duroc) were preparing to leave that city for the army in Galicia, and that events of great importance to the world, might be expected soon to take place. It is also said there were no grounds to hope that Alexander would change his present system of politics; that Caulincourt was too active and intriguing; and that he was continually surrounded by the French party. The idea of possessing European
Turkey, and placing his brother Constantine upon the throne of Constantinople, tended not a little towards retaining in him a disposition favorable to Napoleon.
July 27.
We confess that the intelligence which arrived yesterday came upon us unexpectedly. We were not prepared for it. The accounts from the Austrian states, from persons invested with official situations, were in a style so different from that of despondence—the disposition and valor of the troops were so eminent—the loyalty of the Austrian people which had been so pronounced—the anxiety to rise against the French had been so openly manifested wherever an opportunity was afforded; that we acknowledge we had been induced to believe, that under the present circumstances peace was improbable. We have been deceived, and while we lament that we have been, we feel no disposition to apologize for having entertained the belief. To those who were of a contrary opinion, who may claim praise for their having been consistent in their gloomy predictions; who are prepared the moment any nation, goaded by oppressive treatment from Bonaparte, takes up arms against him, to prophecy her defeat and ruin; to those we leave without reluctance all the merit they may be entitled to—we have no wish to share it.
As far as we were able to judge, even from the French accounts of the battle of Wagram, we did not imagine that it was such a defeat as to render immediate submission indispensable; it did not appear to be such a total route as that which the Austrians and Russians met with at Austerlitz; the Austrian troops had fought so well, and did not seem dispirited. Yet as the fatal consequences of submission were so obvious, it may be supposed that the archduke would not have solicited an armistice had he had any hope of being able to make head against the enemy. He had little expectation of being joined by the archduke John, and the Russians were advancing on one side, whilst Bonaparte was pursuing him on the other side. This has been urged in defence of an armistice to the contemplation of which we proceed with more reluctance than ever we did to the contemplation of any other document that ever was submitted to us.
Some events are of so striking a nature, their character is written in such broad and large letters, that all comment upon them is almost impertinent. When Death snatched a Pitt from us, the whole depth and extent of the calamity which the nation had sustained, were visible to every man. When Austria signed the Armistice of Znaim, we all see that she has put the seal to her greatness and her power, that she has set her hand to the decree that completes her humiliation. The demarcation line separating Austria from Bohemia, takes in part Moravia and descending the March to its confluence with the Taya sweeps down by St. Jaban to Presburg and the mouth of the Raab, ascends the Raab to the frontiers of Styria, Carniolz, Istria, and Fiume. Brunn in Moravia and Gratz in Styria, are to be given up to the French, besides the fort of Sackenbourg. Of all the articles the fourth is the most bitter; jous may be ceded, strong places may be given up, but the loyalty, the love for the house of Austria that stirred up the Tyroleans, should have been a guarantee to them, that any disaster would be preferred to the giving them up to the vengeance of their oppressors. It is in fact striking a vital blow at that spirit by which alone the continent could hope to rescue itself from the grasp of France.
But for this article, the armistice would not have been so humiliating as the armistice that followed the battle of Austerlitz. By that armistice the greater part of Moravia was included in the line of demarcation, part of Bohemia, and all Carinthia. The Austrians were not to make any levy in Hungary, nor to recruit in Bohemia. These conditions are not insisted upon in this armistice, and there is a difference in the preambles of the two. That agreed upon after the battle of Austerlitz stated that "his majesty the emperor of the French, and his majesty the emperor of Germany, being desirous of coming to definitive negotiations, in order to put an end to a war which has devastated both their dominions, have previously agreed upon an armistice to exist till the conclusion of a definitive peace, or the the rupture of the negotiations."
Yet it were too much, we fear, to suppose that the armistice of Znaim will not be followed by the same consequences as the armistice of Austerlitz. Indeed the bulletin says, that the armistice was demanded because the emperor of Austria wished to treat for peace? But we have not the heart to pursue the subject.
German papers and letters arrived this morning to the 12th July. They increase if that be possible, our grief at the armistice; because they furnish more proofs of the dis-
position of Germany to rise against the French.
The city of Rotterdam was on Friday last a scene of dreadful confusion and violence in consequence of disputes between the military and the newly raised conscripts, who refused to comply with the orders for marching. Several lives were lost on both days and tranquility was with difficulty re-established.
The grand armament or the expedition will be five divisions. It is arranged in a different manner from any which ever sailed from England. Particular duties are given to particular officers. Three points are to be attacked first. Admiral Oway and sir Eyre Coote will make the attack upon one of them. It will be conducted in two different ways, according as the wind blows from the westward or the southward. The marquis of Huntley and commodore Owen will attack another point, and we believe their attack will be the first that is made, because its success will enable our ships to go up the river. Sir John Hope and captain Plampin will attack the third point. The success of this attack will enable us to get possession of a fourth point, by taking all its defences in reverse. Lord Gardner, with the fourth division, will in the mean time take an advantageous position. And admiral Keats and lord Rosslyn will, in the fifth division, bring up the reserve.
LIVERPOOL, August 2. THE EXPEDITION.
On Saturday morning a telegraphic despatch reached the admiralty, announcing that the last division of the expedition, under the command of adm. Oway, had sailed at five o'clock with a favorable wind. The first and second divisions sailed early on Friday morning, and were soon clear of the Downs.
The object of the expedition is, in the first instance, the attack of the three islands of Cadland, Walcheren, and Schouwen, which lie at the mouth of the Scheldt. The marquis of Huntley's division of the 6th, 8th, 91st, 9th 38th, and 42d regiments, will attack Cadland. The second division under sir John Hope, is destined for Schouwen, and the north part of Walcheren. The operations against Walcheren will be committed to sir Eyre Coote. Flushing and Middleberg are both situated on the latter island.
Government, it is said, have accounts from Flushing to Saturday last; the garrison of the place did not exceed one thousand men, consisting of Spaniards, Dutch, Irish, and a few French.
SPAIN.
Dispatches have been received from Sir A. Wellesley. They are dated from Caster Blanco, the 1st ult. and mention that at that period Cuesta and Venegas were pursuing Sebastiana and Victor, who were retreating upon the Tagus. The main body of Cuesta's army, was to cross the Tagus about the beginning of July. The advanced guard crossed it on the 29th ult. The British army began its march for Spain on the 26th ult. Its route was to Placencia by Zarea Major, which its first division would reach about the 1st instant. Sebastiana had been joined by 5000 men under Joseph Bonaparte at Mora; but they were likewise retreating for the purpose of uniting with the force under Victor, &c. Part of Cuesta's army which had crossed the Tagus at Almanazar, was to recross it on account of the French being at Ralavera. It was supposed that Cuesta would cross it at another place, and that Venegas would take a position near Villara, which would, at once, threaten the enemy's rear, Toledo and Madrid.
Advices have also been received from Mr. Duff, at Cadiz. These are dated the 6th ult. & state that the whole of the French troops in Spain had formed a junction near Madrid, and that Joseph Bonaparte was at their head. About 4000 French had been surrounded at Val de Pena, by a large body of the Spaniards, and with the exception of one man, the whole had been massacred.
General Blake has published an official account of his defeat near Saragossa. A defeat however it could not be called, as his army in the most cowardly manner deserted him upon the first fire from the enemy. He has published an eloquent and energetic appeal to the Spanish armies.
SAINT GALL, June 26.
The insurgents of the Tyrol and Vorarlberg have been prohibited entering the territory of Switzerland, on pain of death.
PARIS, July 14.
Letters from Genoa and Marseilles mention that the regency of Algiers, at the investigation of the English, demanded of M. Dubois Tainville, consul general of France, payment of an annual tribute; and upon his refusal, ordered him to be arrested. A

provisional embargo had been in consequence laid on all Algerine ships and property in the ports of France.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 28.
Three English frigates have taken possession of Catherine harbor in Kola, near the Icy Ocean, and of all the stores belonging to the Company of the White Sea. The government has put an embargo upon all vessels in Archangel, that they may not fall into the hands of the English, who seem to have devoted their attention principally to the corn vessels from Archangel. This is the first attack of the English upon the Russian territory.
July 1.
We learn from good authority that negotiations between Russia and Sweden have already been carried on a considerable way, and will speedily come to a favorable termination.
July 5.
According to intelligence received here yesterday, an English squadron has appeared between Hoenland and Cronstadt, in presence of the Russian fleet. A naval engagement is expected. The foreign merchants in Cronstadt have received notice that they may sail when they please, but at their own risk.
GOTTENBURGH, July 21.
The two men who were tried for the murder of the mate of an American vessel, were found guilty, and are to be beheaded for the offence: the day of their execution is not yet fixed, as it cannot take place without the sanction of his Swedish majesty.
NORTHAMPTON, Sept. 6.
INTERESTING.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of a resolve of Congress, is collecting information from all parts of the U. States on the subject of manufactures.
He has addressed a circular to the postmaster of this town, requesting of him to forward a statement of all the manufactories established in the vicinity of this place. It is of the highest importance that accurate information should be procured, and that government should know what is the present state of manufactures in this country.
With a view to obtain this information, the following hints are suggested for the consideration of those patriotic citizens who feel interested in promoting home manufactures:
 Let a committee of three or more persons be appointed in each town in this county, who will undertake to collect all the necessary facts, and arrange their statements under the following heads:  1st manufactures of Wool. What number of carding machines are there in the town of —?  What quantity of Wool is carded by each machine in a year.  How many clothiers' shops are there.  What quantity of cloth is dressed in each and the value of it.  2d. Manufactures of flax. How many yards of linen and tow cloths are made in the town of —, and the value of it.  Manufactures of leather. How much leather is made in the town of —, and the value.  Manufactures of iron, other than the common blacksmith work.  Manufactures of cotton.  Manufactures of hats.  In addition to the facts arranged under these heads, it would be important to gain information on the following points:  1st. What is the quantity of flax and hemp raised in each town, and the price.  2d. Can the quantity of those articles already raised, be much increased, and to what extent.  3d. If it can be, what encouragement is wanting to induce farmers to turn their attention more to the cultivation of these articles. 
In the present circumstances of the United States, it is of the first necessity that the resources of this country should be known. We hope therefore that our fellow citizens of all parties, will cheerfully communicate such information as they may possess. The manufactures of our country are becoming every day of more importance to the people. We shall be driven to rely more upon manufactures as our foreign commerce labors under increasing embarrassment. The enterprise of our citizens must be directed to the improvement of the internal resources of the country, or we shall soon experience still greater evils, from depending too much upon the faithless politics of European Courts.

INTERESTING TO THE CITIZENS OF ALEXANDRIA.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability at Fauquier Court House, Va. to his friend in Alexandria, dated Sept. 16, 1809.
"We have got nearly 20,000 dollars subscribed for the Thornton Gap Turnpike; a meeting will be called immediately to appoint a President and Directors to proceed with the work; the law allows the company to raise the tolls to 10 per cent. and not to exceed fifteen per cent—under this particular privilege I hope the whole of the shares will be sold without difficulty, and ten miles of the road completed next year: we expect aid from Alexandria, as it will be much benefitted."
Substance of a Proclamation issued by the Emperor of Germany, dated, LUDWEE, July 16.
The loss sustained by both armies, the French as well as the Austrians, rendered an armistice necessary, and there being no stipulation against military movements in the armistice, every thing would be done during its continuance for the security of the Austrian empire—reverses are admitted to have been sustained, and are attributed to one of the general's, who commanded a division in the battle of Wagram, having suffered his troops to fall back and expose the rest. Not a word is said respecting peace.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 18.
Arrived, sch'r Valona, Farrel, 74 days from Salonica. Left no American vessels. Was chased by the same privateer that took the Nimble, near the island of Cerugo. Captain F. thinks it was the Nimble which chased him—he with great difficulty escaped after hard labor for many hours and keeping their row boats at bay with his two guns. Off Cerigo was chased by a vessel under French colors and by several English ships of war when near Gibraltar.
August 4. Put into Ceuta for water. On that day there was a great deal of firing there. At Gibraltar was informed by a Spanish officer that came on board from the fort, that it was on account of a victory obtained over the French by the Spanish and British forces—that they had taken Madrid, and taken and killed 40,000 of the French. Captain F. being from the Levant, was allowed but little communication with the shore, and none with the town.
LISBON, July 4, 1809.
Arrived in the Tagus on the 1st inst. 13 transports with British troops. On the 2d came in 16 more, besides 29 that arrived on the two last days of June. Those troops are part of a division of 15,000 men that are coming from England to reinforce the army of gen. Wellesley.
We have just received the most unquestionable information, by water, of the French army having evacuated Corunna and Ferrol, which proves the impossibility of their holding the province of Galicia, and hence they are abandoning it altogether.
SEVILLE, July 21.
Official advices are this day received from general count de Norona, second in command in the marquis de la Romana's army, dated head-quarters, Corunna, July 6, advising that he entered that city with his division on the 29th and 30th of June, and immediately detached a part of his force to take possession of, and garrison the important port of Ferrol—that he was restoring tranquility and order among the inhabitants, and that by means of a public council of safety, he should now be able to ascertain the well disposed and patriotic citizens from the French partisans.

Fredericksburg, 8th Sept 1809
Notice.
I WISH to sell, the unexpired lease of 8 years, from the 10th day of December next, in the elegant and commodious HOTEL I now occupy in Alexandria. This establishment is justly celebrated as affording the best accommodations on the continent, and to a man of attention and abilities in the line of his profession, cannot fail to yield a handsome fortune. The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove, that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States.
Attached to the tavern, is a well conducted coffee house, supported by a respectable subscription.
Together with an insurance office. There are at present twenty four yearly boarders of the first respectability, in the hotel. The whole house is elegantly furnished, and to a person who takes the lease, the greater part of the furniture will be sold on the most reasonable terms.
