BY THIS MORNING'S MAIL.
NORFOLK, August 31.
Latest from England.
ARRIVAL OF MR. JACKSON.
Yesterday arrived in Hampton Roads the British frigate L'Africaine, capt. Raggett, of 40 guns, in 45 days from Portsmouth, having on board Francis James Jackson, Esq. his Britannic majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, his lady and three children.
By this arrival we have London papers to the 13th July, 6 days later than those received at Halifax: We select the most prominent articles, and leave the reader to judge for himself.
LONDON, July 11.
It is probable that the next accounts from Germany will bring intelligence of the greatest importance—we do not mean from the Danube, but from the north of Germany. It is reported that a general insurrection has broken out in Hanover and Hesse, and that the Austrians were advancing from Leipsic on the one hand, and from Wurtzburgh on the other, for the purpose of giving confidence to the insurgents.
The foreign intelligence in the preceding page, does not communicate any very important fact: but it is still not without very considerable interest. It shews the disposition of the people of Germany, and proves that they are every where prepared to rise against the French—from the north to the south, from the banks of the lake of Constance to the shores of the Baltic. The insurgents from the Voralberg and the Tyrol keep Swabia and Bavaria in a state of alarm—Their activity is incessant—we hear of them in the neighborhood of Salzburg—of Memmingen, of Kempten—on the Lech, the Iser and the Inn: they enter towns and levy contributions—carry off provisions and hostages, and so infest the country, that the enemy obtain supplies with the greatest difficulty.
This must naturally increase the scarcity which is acknowledged to be felt at Vienna, and which is so great that the populace besiege the bakers and butchers shops day and night, just as they did at Paris during the early part of the revolution. Hungary was the source from whence Vienna usually drew supplies—but that source is no longer open, and to an application in behalf of the capital, made by Bonaparte to the archduke Charles, a positive refusal is said to have been returned.
Whilst these events are passing in the southern part of Germany, the northern is no more disposed to remain quiet under the French yoke. The progress of the Austrians in Franconia and Saxony is already known. In Westphalia and Hesse the spirit of insurrection has shewn itself, and the "insurgent peasants—as they are called, lately broke into the town of Marburgh on Linn. These peasants are not raw troops unused to arms;—they are men who by the ancient constitution of the country were enrolled and exercised during a certain part of the year. Thus rapidly and vigorously is the spirit of insurrection spreading itself every where round the enemy. Meanwhile, the archduke Charles is reinforcing himself by the landwehr (militia) of Moravia and Bohemia, and so strong does he feel himself, that he has sent a part of the Hungarian insurrection, that had arrived at Brunn, to reinforce the archduke John at Comorn. This reinforcement is said to have enabled him to advance again, and to resume his position at Raab. The two great Austrian armies under the archdukes Charles and John occupy an almost straight line from Walkersdorf to Comorn. Presburgh is the centre of it—Hence the French have made the greatest efforts to take Presburgh; they would then have interposed between the two armies—But all these efforts have been ineffectual, and marshal Davoust has been constantly repulsed in his attempt to make himself master of the Te de Pont near Wulsfath.
We have authority to state that the Austrian official account of the battle of Aspern will appear in a supplement to the Gazette of this evening. It consists of three sheets, and takes up the events of the war at the pe-
riod of the battle of Abergensburg and the capture of Ratisbon by the Austrians—gives an account of the capture of Vienna and follows the march of the archduke to the position where the battle was fought. It then gives the archduke's plan of the attack—states the Austrian force at 75,000 men—gives details of the battle of the 21st May, which it closes in the following manner—"For the first time Napoleon has sustained a defeat in Germany. The charm of his invincibility was dissolved. No longer the spoiled child of Fortune; by posterity he will be characterised as the sport of the fickle goddess."
It then proceeds to give a narrative of the battle of the 22d May—17,000 French muskets and 3000 cuirasses were taken. The Austrians had 87 superior officers, and 4190 subalterns and privates killed, 663 officers, and 15,657 privates wounded. On the part of the French, 7000 were buried in the field of battle, and 5000 were wounded in the Austrian hospitals. In Vienna and the suburbs there are 29,763 wounded, 2300 were taken, hundreds of corpses have floated down the Danube.
The account of the second battle closes in the following terms—Thus terminated a conflict of two days. It was decisive for the glory of the Austrian arms, for the preservation of the monarchy, and for the correction of public opinion."
The prisoners taken on board a Dutch prize, sent into Dover by the Tiger revenue cutter, state, that it was universally believed at Flushing, when they sailed, that another great battle had been fought upon the Danube on the 26th ultimo, which terminated in the defeat of the French army, with the loss of 50,000 men, 10,000 of whom belonged to Bonaparte's guards. The same persons also state, that there were lying at Flushing three men of war, full of troops, waiting for a favorable opportunity to put to sea, in consequence of which, a squadron sailed immediately from Deal for that part of the Dutch coast; that it was understood 20,000 Prussians were on their march to co-operate with the Austrian army; and that the greatest possible discontent prevailed in Holland, in consequence of the severity of the conscription law. Reports are also stated to have been circulated at Flushing of the assassination of Ferdinand VII. We know not what degree of credit to attach to those statements.
July 12.
We this day lay before our readers one of the most interesting and important documents that was ever offered to the public eye; the history of the campaign from the battle of Abensburg to that glorious victory of Aspern, which "has dissolved the charm of Bonaparte's invincibility, and reduced him to the rank of bold and successful generals, who, like himself, after a long series of destructive achievements, have experienced the vicissitudes of fortune"—A clearer, a more spirited, a more eloquent narrative never came from the hand of man; it is such a narrative as such an achievement deserves, and there is not a human being, at least there is not a Briton, who reads it, who will not feel the deepest joy, admiration, gratitude, and enthusiasm for the cause of Austria. Men who can sustain such a cause in such a manner; who, after an unbroken series of disaster and defeat, of calamity and distress, can display such constancy and courage, such loyalty and patriotism, cannot (no! it were treason to suppose they could) be subdued, and we have no more doubt that Austria will establish her independence and security, than we have that a British fleet will beat a French one whenever it is fortunate enough to meet with it. How fade the bullets of Bonaparte before this manly and noble document! How contemptible and disgusting do they look when placed beside it! Here is none of the braggadocio and insolence which distinguished and degrade those labors of the Corsican.
Here are no claims to a victory gained with ease, and almost without effort. Every line pays tribute to the mightiness and difficulty of the conflict. We have the field of battle depicted to us in the clearest manner; we trace the march of each army; we follow the movements of the different columns; we see where the battle raged with the greatest fury, where the struggle was the most tremendous; we appreciate the talents of the different generals, and we behold, towering above them all the two commanders in chief bringing into the conflict all the resources and energies of their mighty minds, and fighting for glory and for victory, for fame and for life—How every thing was foreseen and provided against by the Archduke Charles! With a kind of prophetic wisdom he knew where the greatest efforts of the enemy would be directed, and there the enemy always found that preparations had been made to receive them. All the tactics and manœuvres of Bonaparte
his furious attempts to pierce the centre, and thus cut off the right wing from the left, his repeated efforts to turn the Austrian flanks, and thus come in their rear, were rendered unavailing by the admirable dispositions of the Austrian commander; after two days, the most sanguinary days Europe ever saw, Bonaparte was at length compelled to yield the palm of preeminence, to descend from his towering height, to lose his character of invincible, and to resign the rank of being the first captain of the age.
It would be difficult to say which part of the conduct of the archduke Charles deserve the most praise—that firmness of mind which made him not despair of stopping the progress of the enemy after the battle of Eckmuhl—that confidence in his own talents that made him anxious to hazard a battle with the French, flushed though they were with uninterrupted success and led on by Bonaparte in person—that astonishing presence of mind which rendered him equal to every emergency—or that consummate knowledge of the art of war which enabled him to beat the man who had arrogated to himself the title of invincible.
Yet, it is such an army under such a general power making such exertions, that the late ministry would not assist with a liberal hand; they would help her but sparingly with the treasures of England, whilst she is lavishing her blood in a cause which they will not deny to be as much British as Austrian—they would treat her with suspicion and distrust, and we well remember the efforts they made at first to damp our satisfaction by throwing doubts upon this great victory. They would not even see "the symptoms of a defeat of the French."
A grateful task remains to be performed, and we dare say our readers anticipate us in what we are going to say. The Gazette shews by what sacrifices the late victory was gained. The killed and wounded of the Austrian army amount to 20,000. We can abate the grief of those who lost their relatives—we can assuage the pain of those who are suffering under their wounds, by raising a subscription for their wives and families. It will be worthy for the exalted character of the British nation, and we hope to see it carried into execution without loss of time.
July 13.
Orders were received at the custom house this morning for a general embargo to be laid on immediately. The expedition will sail in two or three days.
We received some German papers this morning, which contain a bulletin from the Austrian army relative to the operations in Saxony on the Raab, and in the Tyrol. It does not announce, however, any new fact of much importance.
Fortune has frowned upon another of the Bonaparte family, and Jerome, who had advanced with his Westphalian and Dutch troops against the Austrians, threatening to drive them in a few days out of Saxony, has been checked in his presumptuous boasting, and been himself beaten. This we infer from an article in the edition of the Berlin Gazette of the 1st July—he would not else have ordered all the baggage in his rear to return to Magdeburg, nor send in such haste to Cassel for all the disposable troops to be put in motion. A victory over Jerome Bonaparte will be important, inasmuch as it will enable the Austrians to advance about the time when great events were to take place in Hanover and Hesse. The following is the article to which we have alluded:
Extract from a second edition of the Berlin Court Gazette of the 1st July 1809, which has been printed later than those forwarded by the Hamburg mail.
"At this moment, the 1st of July at three o'clock in the afternoon we received the following intelligence:
Extract of a letter from Leipzig—June 29. "The Westphalian troops which arrived here, marched again on the 27th, in pursuit of the Austrians; the king himself followed them on the 28th, and promised to clear Saxony of the Austrians in a few days."
"According to accounts received from Dresden of the 29th, the Austrian army having received reinforcements of 5000 cavalry which made their force 26,000 men, has taken post at Keitenhousen, in the environs of Meissen, expecting the enemy."
"The Austrian army is provided with a train of 50 pieces of cannon, and is commanded by gen. Kinnmeyer."
"This moment a courier from the Westphalian army has passed through here, to order all the baggage he finds on the road to return to Magdeburg; he is also to proceed to Cassel to order all the disposable troops to put themselves immediately in motion."
"Since yesterday afternoon it is said the roar of cannon has been heard."

Bulletin of the Austrian Army.
"Head Quarters, June 12. "According to a report from general Belamende, dated the 12th, the Saxon general, herra, on the approach of the Austrian troops, left Dresden with 3700 men, and retreated to Wilsdruff. In the night of the 11th, he, however, made an attack on the advanced posts established towards Pirna, and probably flattered himself that he would retake possession of the town, to his surprise; but the duke of Brunswick perceived him with the advanced troops, obliged him to fly rapidly, and pursued him towards Freiberg. Several waggons and Saxons, wounded prisoners have arrived at Dresden."
"The insurrection troops took a position as a corps of observation behind the Raab, not far from the town of that name, and extended by Szabad-Hegy, the right wing resting on the Raab. The height of K. Megyer, which formed a salient angle on the front, was mounted with cannon, and the Mayerhof was defended by the infantry. On the left wing was the cavalry, consisting of new raised regiments of hussars. As the enemy had several days before made attacks on the advanced posts, and had detached detachments across the Upper Raab, the archduke John hastened with a part of his army corps under his command, by Papp, to support his brother the archduke Palatine and on the 12th had already formed a junction with him near Raab. On the 13th, the enemy's advanced guard had penetrated the vineyards of Czanak, from which, on the 14th, the archduke Palatine retreated. The enemy, however, anticipated the attack, and drove in our advanced posts. The victory of Italy, who was reinforced by marshal Davoust's corps, deployed also with 30,000 men by Czanak and Kis-Barat, towards Puzta-Taple."
"From this position, at one o'clock, the enemy made an attempt on the whole of our line, and endeavored, by vigorous charges, to break through our centre. Columns of infantry advanced to the attack, and were driven back."
"Our infantry were drawn up in two columns, and advanced in masses. All the attacks of the enemy were abortive, and at length he succeeded in taking the Mayerhof and the chapel of Kys-Megyer. From this moment the battle became general, and the heights of Szabad Hegy became the scene on which each further step of the enemy was fought for. Under a heavy fire of artillery, the attack was repeatedly renewed and as repeatedly repelled. The enemy manoeuvred at the same time against both wings, which, notwithstanding that the centre maintained its position, were at last compelled to give way. This occasioned a retreat, which took place at five P.M. by St. Javan, in the direction of Acs. Field marshals Mecsery and Fulmon covered the retreat, opposing the pursuit of the enemy, who advanced no farther than Göenyoe, where night put an end to the contest. On the following day the Archduke Palatine proceeded to Knomorn, at the large plain of the Acs afforded a advantageous position."
"The loss on our side was from 1500 to 2000 men, in killed and wounded. The loss of the enemy must be far greater, as he was constantly exposed to a heavy fire of musketry."
"The division of the Bavarian general Deroy has suffered another defeat in the Tyrol. Thus have the brave Tyroleans a second time conquered their freedom. All the Inthal is delivered from the enemy. General Deroy has arrived, with the small remains of his corps, at Rosenheim, in Bavaria."
TO THOMAS MAINS, SIR, YOU will please to take notice that on Saturday, the twenty-first day of October next, between the hours of ten o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the afternoon of that day, at the house or residence of Lawrence Rogers, in the county of Washington and state of Maryland, I shall proceed to take the deposition of the said Lawrence Rogers, which deposition is to be read, in the suit brought by you and now depending against me, in the circuit court of district of Columbia, for the county of Alexandria.

On Saturday dispatches were received from admiral Berkeley, and sir A. Wellesley, brought by the Eutrebrenante cutter, 10 guns from Lisbon.
When the messenger who brought the general's dispatches left the army sir A. was within sight of Victor's army, and intended to give him battle the following day. Victor's retreat was entirely cut off, and from the dispositions there were made there was every rational hope that his army would be destroyed. Sir A. Wellesley has been joined by the 40th regiment.
By the Malta mail, we have received accounts from Smyrna, of the 20th of May, and from Constantinople to the 21st April. The grand seignor is reported to be determined to carry on a war with vigor against the Russians, and was making great preparations for that purpose.
LISBON, June 20.
(Extracts of Letters.)
Yesterday a regiment of British troops landed up the Tagus; and on Sunday two regiments of infantry were landed here from Gibraltar.
A very large force is collecting in the north of Portugal. Within the last four days one brigade and one regiment of the line, which have been quartered here have marched towards Braga. The whole of the forces in the north are under the command of the Portuguese general Silveira, who had eminently distinguished himself, and has the unqualified confidence of the troops under his command.
June 17.—Gen. Beresford has been here for a few days to make arrangements; he has quitted us on the 8th for Badajos. The armies are in motion; but they cannot march with great rapidity, being compelled to carry with them every necessary article of provision and stores, the country thro' which they pass affording nothing to their necessities.
Victor, it is now said, is between Tavera, Merida, and Truxillo; his army spreading to the margin of the Tagus. The allies are approximating to the same situation.
We are recruiting for men who are to compose new regiments. The service is not attended with much difficulty. Towards the end of this and other extraordinary expenses, a contribution has been levied on the opulent and middling classes of the inhabitants which is not to exceed one million of dollars. The contributors pay cheerfully.
The weather has been very unseasonable, and unusually irregular; at the same time I am writing, the rain falls in torrents.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2.
The following intelligence has been obtained from the ship Derby, from Canton: On the 16th April, in the Straits of Banca, was boarded from the ship Guatamozin, of this port, William Granville, commander, from Batavia to Canton, out 18 days, all well; who informed that the ship Isis, of Providence, had sailed from Batavia a short time before him; that he left but one American ship there, the Rebecca, M'Neal, of Baltimore, waiting orders from home; and that it was very sickly at Batavia. He likewise stated that an English frigate had appeared off that port, and sent her boat in to cut out a Moorish ship, but that the British were repulsed, with the loss of the lieut. commanding the party, and several men killed and wounded; a further attempt was suspended, and the frigate put to sea. As French ship lying at Batavia, was run on shore by the captain on the appearance of the British, fearful of an attack. The British frigate Greyhound, of 32 guns, capt. E. T. Troubridge, had been totally lost on the island of Manilla, in the China sea; and her crew were saved by the Discovery sloop of war, belonging to the English East India company sent express for that purpose. The Discovery was afterwards captured near the Straits of Syncapore, by the French frigate Cannonier, both crews made prisoners of war, and sent to Batavia. The Derby spoke the ship Enterprize, 3 days from Providence for Turks Island, on the 13th inst. in lat. 38, 30, long. 70. [Boston paper.]
Messrs. Printers,
I am a tradesman with a large family, and attend closely to my shop, which is situated in a pleasant place. I have six or eight intimate acquaintance. These commonly spend from an hour, to an hour and a half in the course of the day from their business, and make my shop door or my counter their place of rest. Now, Sirs, only think how my business must be injured, and that by my friends!—Sometimes two of them will be in my shop between nine and ten o'clock; by the time they go to their families, two or three others take their places. People look in and observe, that he has as many customers as he can attend—or that he has so much company there is no room for any more.—What will you advise?
Answer. Keep this paper constantly by you, and fold it so that this may be seen. Phil. paper.

PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY , the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations , Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent sh, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shown to persons in- clining to purchase, by Col. James Moore , who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

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 bails 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 assorted 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 bails 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.
