Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, Nov. 1.
Notwithstanding the details of the great battle of the Danube, have not yet arrived and the accounts received are evidently much confused, no doubt is entertained of the melancholy fact, that the force lately under the command of general Mack, is as an army totally destroyed. The advices which government have received upon the subject remove all doubts as to the main fact of the dreadful disaster. The most serious of the conflicts took place on the 17th, 18th, and 19th ult. and on the twentieth general Mack, completely defeated, consented to a capitulation. The number of slain, as we have already stated was immense on both sides; and the Austrians who surrendered themselves prisoner amounted to 25,000. The corps under the command of the archduke Ferdinand, which effected its escape from Ulm on the 17th, retreated in two divisions, and having gained the left bank of the Danube, cut off the communication with France, as slightly hinted in the Moniteur of the twenty second, and hence no doubt was occasioned the delay of the official accounts from the Grand army. Subsequent advices state that the enemy pursued the archduke Ferdinand, whose division consisted of twelve thousand men, so very closely, that they were soon enabled to come up with and defeat his highness with great slaughter. This latter statement is contained in one of the last letters received from Holland. The success of the enemy we hope will prove to be greatly exaggerated, but upon no rational ground can we entertain a hope, that the Austrians have not experienced a most dreadful disaster. In this affliction state of things, little consolation is to be derived from seeking on whom, or on what the blame of the disaster ought to be thrown; whether it should fall upon the precipitation of the cabinet of Vienna, which led to the commencement of hostilities before adequate means were prepared and collected; on the tardy advance of the Russians whose arrival is a full month behind the time it was expected; on the mismanagement of general Mack; or the negligence of the Prussia, for if that sovereign had provided a force sufficient to maintain the neutrality of his territory of Anspach, the Austrian army could never have been surrounded in such a manner by a force so superior, as to render its destruction inevitable. These inquiries may be interesting to future historians, who will have to record the fatal events of a time, too full of menacing danger to allow those who live in it, to turn their thoughts from the means of averting them, for the purpose of seeking how they have been brought about.
It is very painful to see so large a portion of the force which was destined to stop the torrent of devastation, or to turn it back to its source, overwhelmed by the flood; but the mischief is still, we trust, not wholly without a remedy. It is certainly more difficult to replace an army, the very name of which is annihilated, than reinforce one, however reduced. But the vast resources of the Austrian states must be adequate to more than the reparation that is now called for. That vast difference that is to be observed, between the numbers said to be killed and taken, even in the exaggerated statements of the enemy, and the force commanded by general Mack at the commencement of the contest, leave room to hope, that many small bodies have effected their escape, whose reunion will yet form a considerable portion of a new army. It is besides ascertained that the Russian army now joined with the Austrian column under general Kienmayer, on the Inn, amount together to little short of 100,000 men. It is to be hoped, that the importance of striking an immediate blow will be felt by the commanders of this force; and the French column opposed to it is very much inferior, even with every reinforcement that can be supposed to have reached it, the result of a spirited and determined attack could hardly fail to be successful and decisive. Even the disasters that have happened, great as they are, will not discourage us from hoping, that the judicious direction and vigorous exertions of this combined army may be sufficient to turn the current of success, or at least to stem its violence, and retard its progress, till the fresh efforts and new resources of the Austrian monarchy are brought up to restore the natural and expected preponderancy of the allied arms.
We trust also, that the next advices will realize and confirm the sanguine hopes entertained from the known talents of the archduke Charles, and the bravery and devotion of the army under him. Any
considerable advantage gained either by this army, or by the united force of the allied emperors upon the Inn, would serve greatly to counterbalance the success gained by the French in Suabia, and to check the alarming progress they have made. We trust and hope too, that the king of Prussia, alive to the feelings of insulted dignity, and satisfied that Bonaparte looks upon him with an evil eye, regarding him only as the reserved victim of his scarcely dissembled rage, will have seen the importance of the present moment, and that his armies have advanced towards the scene of action, in that respectable force in which it becomes a great and offended sovereign, to put forth a power he is known to possess.
These are the grounds upon which the hopes of Europe now rest. We do no dissemble that even now they appear to leave room for apprehension. The king of Prussia's overtures to our court are said to have been conditional. The conditions were to be adjusted by lord Harrowby. The detention of his lordship by contrary winds at Harwich, and the successes that have attended the French arms, may influence the cold and calculating policy of the court of Berlin to adopt a resolution unfavorable to our views, we hope the king of Prussia will not be so lost to all principle, all shame, all rational views of his own interest. But we cannot even now exclude from our consideration, the possibility of having ourselves once more, and that speedily, to contend against the whole force of the Corsican, flushed with success, and inflamed with all the rage of retarded vengeance. If such should be our lot, we know how it becomes Britons to act. We will do our duty, and trust to Heaven for the rest.
Captain Johnston of the ship Venus, arrived at Grimsby from Toningen, reported on his arrival, that previous to his departure from Toningen it was stated that the Prussian army had been united to that of Russia which had marched and joined that of the Austrians; that the three armies combined had completely surrounded those of France, over whom they obtained a victory, and after retaking Ulm pursued the enemy with every prospect of further success.
This report, improbable and extravagant as it is, was considered at Hull to be of such great consequence, that captain Johnson, who is a man of approved character, was called upon to appear before the mayor of that town, and swear to the report, as it prevailed at Toningen. He immediately did so, and his affidavit was yesterday morning received in town, from the collector of the customs at Hull, by a gentleman of the custom-house at London. For a short time it became the topic of conversation in the city; but so very improbable a statement obtained no credit whatever in any of the well informed circles.
By the Gottenburg mail of yesterday, we find that the Russian and Swedish armies did not march from Sursund till the 16th ult. and we are sorry to say, there is no certainty of any Prussian army, having yet marched to co-operate with the allies. The united Russian and Swedish armies are said to be destined for Hanover, where, in all probability, they are intended to be joined by the British troops now embarked at Ramsgate and Deal. It was yesterday understood, that the expedition would sail the first fair wind; that the duke of York will shortly follow to take the chief command; and that the duke of Kent will command the cavalry. The troops embarked are under the immediate orders of generals Don, Moore, and Page.
The letters from Petersburg state, that the most active exertions are making to carry on the war with vigor, and that the military force is daily augmented by the arrival of recruits from the provinces.
The fine frigate L'Amphitrite is ordered to be surveyed and repaired. Her cabin is considered as a curious piece of workmanship, being fitted purposely for the accommodation of the royal family of Spain, to take an excursion to sea for the benefit of their health. She mounted when captured by the Donegal, fifty-two guns, and fought near an hour longer than our brave tars expected. Her captain, an Irishman, was killed a little time before she struck.
The hurricane of last Friday was so tremendous and came in such sudden squalls and fits of wind, that (says a letter from Plymouth) many persons were carried off their legs. A centinel just relieved in the dock-yard, near the open dyke of the new mast pond, about three A. M. was literally blown off with his great coat and musket into the Tamar, and was drowned, before any person or boat could go to his assistance as the tide ran twelve knots in one hour.
November 16. Dispatches have just been received from admiral Collingwood. The following was transmitted by Lord Mayor to Lloyd's Coffee House. Admiralty office, Nov. 15, 1806. By a dispatch received this evening from Vice Admiral Collingwood, via Lander, dated off Cadiz the 28th ult. it appears owing to the violence of the wind, he did not succeed in bringing off any of the prizes made in the action of the 21st. He expressed his hope that by the following day he should complete the destruction of the whole, except the Santa Anna, which was towed into Cadiz by a frigate. It appears, that when admiral Collingwood put to sea again, in order to protect his disabled ships, the Prince of Asturias, his flag ship, and the Rayo, another 3 decker, were dismasted, and the latter fell into their hands. The number killed and wounded in his M. ships, from which returns were received was much smaller than has been apprehended. Their names will be published in the Gazette of to-morrow evening. (Signed) J. SHAW, Mayor.
The French talk of being at Vienna the middle of Nov. The expedition which lately sailed from the Downs was seen off the Texel on the 10th instant on its way to the place of destination.
It is said gen. St. Cyr, with the army which was in the Neapolitan States, is to join Massena, a convention for the neutrality of Naples being agreed to by France. This is not improbable; or at least it is improbable that to strengthen Massena Naples should for the moment be evacuated.
November 11. No intelligence has been received of the attempt which it was supposed was to be made on the port of Boulogne. It seems generally believed, at any rate, that the troops which have sailed from the Downs are gone northward, and are not to be employed in any attack on the French coast. They are gone to join the Russians and Swedes in the north.
The duke of York, it is said, does not go till March.
November 14. Mr. Ruffe, the messenger, arrived in town Monday from the Elbe. Cuxhaven is open. Lord Harrowby and suite landed there on the 7th. The expedition from the Downs, under general Don, was daily expected.
November 15. The intelligence from Vienna, reaches us on the 30th. At that time not only were the disastrous events in Suabia, known, but Gen. Mack had arrived there. He was not at first allowed to enter the town, for fear, it is said, the populace had torn him in pieces. He has been transferred as a prisoner to Brunn, where he is to be tried by a court-martial.
It is said that Bonaparte sent offers of peace both by General Mack, and through the Archduke Ferdinand, which, however, the Court of Vienna showed no disposition to accept. Bonaparte will reiterate these offers, and will derive great advantage from them. Talleyrand has arrived at Munich, to give his aid, though negotiation be undertaken.
November 23. General Dumouier sets out immediately for the continent, where, it is said, he is to be employed in a military capacity; but in what service, or under what power, we have not been informed.
It is in the hour of peril that a great nation assumes the most imposing attitude — it is then that she puts forth her whole strength and resources — that every nerve and fibre of her frame is called into action — that, actuated by one heart and soul, and throwing off the low, little, selfish passions that debase and degrade our nature, her aspect and attitude have in them something more than mortal. Such a picture does Austria present to us at the present moment; unsubdued by disasters, undismayed by the dangers and difficulties of her situation, her spirit rises with the necessity for increased vigor and exertion. No meanly suspecting that the loyalty of her people would be shaken, or their spirit sunk by the reverses, she has not concealed the magnitude and extent of the late disasters; she avows them manfully, she confesses that they are heavy and affliction, but, sure of the support of her brave subjects, she feels also that they are neither overwhelming nor decisive. With pride and pleasure we refer our readers to the emperor's proclamation issued at Vienna on the 28th ult. immediately after the surrender of general Mack and his army known. A composition of more true dignity and firmness; of more genuine patriotism, energy, and eloquence, we have never seen; it is in every respect worthy of the sovereign of such a nation and Austria. Never were the views and signs of Bonaparte depicted in more

glowing colours; never were there a stronger contrast drawn between usurped and legitimate authority.
Solely occupied with the desire of military glory; influenced by no passion but that of being recorded in history as a conqueror; respecting no principle that reminds him of the regard prescribed by the Law of Nations, or the respect due to independent States; totally careless of the general tranquility; absorbed in himself, and occupied only in the display of his own power; was the character of Bonaparte ever more accurately drawn than in the words of the proclamation we have just quoted?
So strong an appeal to the gallantry and patriotism of the people, has produced all that the Emperor of Germany could have expected or desired. The young men of all classes have incorporated themselves to do garrison duty; the divisions of the Austrian regiments are filled with the utmost rapidity. Contributions of grain and forage, of every thing necessary for the army, are furnished with a pleasing alacrity and promptitude; the general levy has been called for by the unanimous voice of the people; "All, all," say the Vienna letters, "are animated by patriotism and courage." Never was such enthusiasm displayed as at the present moment, nothing will be omitted, no sacrifice will be deemed too great, to rescue us from the greatest of all evils and curses, a French invasion.
Let us turn to the armies; avoiding all the measures which so powerfully contributed to the ruin of the fine army, which had the misfortune to be placed under the command of gen. Mack; the Austrian and Russian armies are falling back to give time for their resources to join them; we suppose they will take up a position on the Ens. — Mean while it is satisfactory to know that not only prince Ferdinand's division effected its escape from Ulm, but also another division which took the route of the Tyrol; the second and third Russian armies are advancing with great rapidity. It is said too that the archduke Charles is on his march from Italy with 50,000 men, who are to be replaced by Russians from Corfu. We shall be glad to find that the archduke has fallen back; such a measure appears to be imperiously called for by the position of the French army, and the obvious intention of Bonaparte, to place the Austrian army in Italy, between his own force and that under Massena. But it now appears, that the loss of the French in the different actions near Ulm, was between twenty and thirty thousand men. They lost many men in two actions, which the French Bulletins sunk altogether, the actions of the 11th and 14th. We now hear of them for the first time, though they appear to have been the most sanguinary ones that took place. Bonaparte's army was also under a great want of provisions, a want which is likely to become more pressing every day.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 10.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Norfolk to his friend in this town.
"By an arrival in 26 days from Bordeaux, we learn, that Bonaparte has entered Vienna and made prisoners of the Emperor of Germany and his family! This information is not doubted."
THE THIRD VICTORY.
Weekly Messenger Office, Monday, 11th November, 1 o'clock.
We just learn that an express had arrived at the Admiralty, with the important intelligence that Adm. Louis had fallen in with the Rochefort squadron, and that after a smart action, SIX MORE OF THE ENEMY'S SHIPS OF THE LINE STRUCK THEIR COLOURS.
There is some foreign news in town, but it is not of a very prominent interest. Hanover is now restored to the King of Great Britain; the Emperor of Russia is arrived at Berlin, and the Prussian army is in perfect organization and upon full march. Bonaparte is still at Munich. It appears that the French have done nothing in Italy, and little, in comparison with their exaggerations, in Germany.
Things now look very promising on the continent. The attack upon Boulogne by Sir Sidney Smith, is to be made immediately.
COMMUNICATION.
MR. J. CLAY AND MR. RANDOLPH, OR GEN. EATON'S MEDAL.
It is very far from Mr. Clay's intentions to depreciate the merits of Mr. Eaton—but he cannot think the taking of Derne, with the
assistance of about a dozen Americans, worthy of so high and honorable a reward as a gold medal!
We do not know for what reason this patriotic member of the committee should manifest a disposition to conceal, or rather to pervert facts with which he must be necessarily intimately acquainted, and probably from the highest authority.
The army of Hamet Bashaw, conducted by general Eaton at the taking of Derne on the 27th April, consisted of upwards of two thousand Moors and Arabs, one christian company of artillery, one company of Greek infantry, and eleven Americans! The United States brig Argus, the schooner Nautilus and sloop Hornet were also under his direction. Derne is a fortified city containing between twelve and fifteen thousand souls; it is the capital of the best province of Tripoli, and the eastern key of the kingdom. Gen. Eaton held this important post, contemptible as Mr. Clay may deem his dozen Americans, forty five days, until it was negotiated out of his hands; and in the meantime, totally defeated the enemy's army, between three and four thousand strong, which had been sent to resist his progress. And does any body pretend to deny, after it has been stated by Mr. Jefferson, that his enterprize gave peace to our country, and freedom to three hundred of our fellow citizens? Or is any body ignorant that in rendering his country these important services, he has rendered himself an invalid? Yet Mr. Clay can see no extraordinary merits in these achievements and sufferings!
As Mr. Clay unacquainted with the embarrassing or perplexing difficulties this American encountered and overcame in getting access to the ex-bashaw; in organizing his heterogeneous army; in conducting them fifty days through a desert which never before received the impression of a christian footstep; in planting the American standard in a land of tyrants; and in carrying with him wherever he moved, respect for the American name and character? Yet there is no extraordinary merit, in Mr. Clay's opinion, in such conduct! And Mr. J. Randolph can see nothing in all these transactions but a scuffle a mere scuffle with a parcel of half naked barbarians whom he undoubtedly could knock on the head with a foot glass! But Mr. Randolph's appeal to the sensibility of his country, through the nerve of their purse strings to the view of stifling their wish of rewarding their fellow citizens who has deserved well of them, is a wretched compliment to their understandings and to their gratitude. They know, however, that gen. Eaton's enterprise has unshackled their commerce, from a piratical and disastrous war; has saved millions of money in our treasury; and undoubtedly, redeemed hundreds of our fellow citizens from death and from bondage—and they will not be prevailed on to feel that unusual acknowledgements are not due to such meritorious actions; nor that the merit is at all diminished because acquired by about a dozen Americans!
But if Mr. Randolph's zeal on this subject were excited solely by a pure concern for the national treasury, we believe we should see him more diligently at his post on other occasions where it may suffer. When the wheels of government are stopped by weeks and months to accommodate him on a party of pleasure, say, does the pay of congress and the agents of government stop also? Do not stuff us, Mr. Randolph. We see our money more prodigally drawn from the treasury than if drawn to reward persevering patriotism, and long suffering merit.
But general Eaton, we are informed, is compiling a history of the war, and of our intercourse with Barbary; in which perhaps it will appear from documents, that if the United States are not now tributary, to the regencies of Tunis and Tripoli, it is to be ascribed to his vigilance, his fortitude, and his perseverance; and which may lead to some important discoveries concerning the agency of our commissioner of peace, Mr. Lear. If Mr. Randolph wishes to push the theme of blush working protests, he may perhaps excite a protest which will work up a blush in the cheek, even of paleness itself.
The citizens of the United States are not ignorant that if general Eaton's progress had not been arrested in the full tide of successful experiment, and his projects blasted within reach of his object, sixty-five thousand dollars of their property would not have been sacrificed to purchase national infamy by paying this sum (or by assenting to have paid it) to a vanquished enemy!
The facts being known and established, let the scuffling Mr. Randolph and the shuffling Mr. Clay express their sentiments
of the conduct and merit of this deserving statesman and warrior as they please, and stint as they wish the tokens of our gratitude, he shall live in our bosoms, in our pride, in our honor, to immortality. (United States Gazette.)

Valuable Lands and Negroes FOR SALE.
THE Subscriber desires of disposing of his distant property, so as to bring his affairs more within his reach and management, offers for sale the following lands and negroes, at prices so reduced as to claim the attention of persons willing to invest money in such property, v. z.
CHATHAM, that elegant and highly improved seat on the banks of the Rappahannock River, directly opposite the town of Fredericksburg, containing about eleven hundred acres, four hundred of which are in wood, and valuable timber, the rest in cultivation, and pleasure grounds—The land in tillage is level, a considerable part of it has been highly manured, and the whole of it well adapted to the culture of grass, small grain, and Indian corn, as the crop now growing will attest. The house and offices are of brick, and on a large and handsome scale, with a garden in front containing four acres, laid off with taste and well planted with the choicest fruit trees, now in full bearing, and ornamented with forest trees and shrubs of almost every description. There is on the estate adjoining the river, a grist-mill built of free stone, containing the modern machinery and two pair of stones, one of them French Burrs—It commands a large country custom, is well situated for merchant business, and has rented for five hundred dollars per annum exclusive of all the grain of the farm hopper free, which is equal to three hundred dollars more. There are all necessary out houses, for either convenience or luxury, such as ice-house, spring-house, barn, stable, offices, &c. &c. With all these advantages and expensive improvements, this property is offered at a price which the lands alone ought to command. There are also some valuable fisheries, and quarries of free stone on this estate.
Also a tract of land generally called Clark's, about two miles below Chatham, on the north bank of the Rappahannock river, and within view of the town of Fredericksburg, containing upwards of four hundred acres. About one hundred and twenty acres of this tract is Rappahannock river bottom in cultivation, and is well adapted to Indian corn, small grain, &c. the residue is in wood, surrounding a height, which furnishes a beautiful site for building.
Also, a tract of land in Stafford county, adjoining Stafford court house, containing upwards of twelve hundred acres. This is good farming land, and has several tenants on it.
Also, a tract of land in Westmoreland and Richmond counties, containing upwards of two thousand acres, on which there are also several tenants. These two last mentioned tracts of land will be sold in small tenements, or in entire tracts, as may best suit the wishes of purchasers.
Also, a tract of land called Boyd's Hole, containing about one hundred and fifty acres, on the banks of the Potomac, in King George county, on which there are a comfortable dwelling house, store and tobacco inspection ware house. Few situations combine more advantages, it being an excellent stand for a store, ferry and tavern, the two first of which are at present kept there. The houses have lately been put in good repair, and the buildings alone will rent for three hundred dollars a year. The land is good in quality, and the situation abounds in fish, oysters and wild fowl.
Also, a valuable Site for a Mill, with 50 acres of Land adjoining, in King George county, and not far distant from the last mentioned tract. There has been a mill here for many years which has lately gone to decay, the dam is substantial and entire, and the situation for a country mill not equalled in that neighborhood, commanding a very extensive custom; the land is covered with cedar, which alone renders it very valuable.
Also, several Lots and Houses in the town of Fredericksburg.
Likewise, about two hundred and thirty NEGROES, of different ages, sizes and description. A slate of them by families will be preferred; to effect this they will be offered at a reduced price. As a part of these Negroes are at present attached to the Chatham estate, the purchaser of that property may be accommodated with any number of them, as well as stock of every description.
Bank Stock of any of the Banks in Virginia, Maryland, or the District of Columbia, will be received in payment for any part of this property at a fair price, and bargains will be given, as the subscriber unable to attend to property so distant, is anxious to convert it into stock.
He will also rent a number of FARMS on his Ravensworth estate, containing from 2 to 400 acres each, on encouraging terms, to good farmers. They lay from eight to ten miles distant from Alexandria, George Town, and the City of Washington, and convenient to the turnpike road now building from Alexandria to the upper country.
