WHITBY DOLLARS REWARD.—Rough way from the Subscriber, on the 20th day of March 1807, a negro man named JAMES—he is about fifty years of age, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, spare made, has lost several of his fore teeth, has a down look, and stammers much when spoken to, in an authoritative tone, seeming to make laborious attempts with his mouth and tongue, to answer you, and with difficulty succeeds, at last, in an evasive manner: He formerly belonged to the estate of Mr. Parsons of Gloucester, where it is probable he may now be lurking in Richmond & its neighborhood, where the subscriber has been informed he has been seen. He is a coarse Shoe-Maker, and may perhaps follow that trade. The above reward will be paid, for apprehending and delivering him to the subscriber, living near Aylett's ware-house, in King William county, with traveling expenses, or for securing him, in jail, so that I get him again.
THOMAS LEONARD. September 12. w8w

The qualifications of one of the subscribers have been proven by five years experience in this line of business. The other has been educated in the same School, and wants nothing but a few months experience to render his qualifications fully equal. The advantages of the situation are manifestly great, it being in the heart of a healthy and polished neighborhood, and far removed from every incentive to vice and dissipation. The subscribers, deeply impressed with the great importance of the duties which they have assigned themselves, pledge all their powers for their performance. They have a tolerably extensive and well selected Historical Library, which shall, (during the winter nights,) be used under their superintendence, for the benefit of their pupils. Should any of those gentlemen, who have patronized the labors of F. Maury, at the Green Springs, in Louisiana, choose to place their sons or wards with the subscribers, their bedding, books, &c. shall be removed to this place gratis. Communications directed to the subscribers, Lindsay's Store, Albemarle county, will be immediately attended to.

TO all whom it may concern.—RICHARD SMYTH, a native of Ireland, departed this life on the 18th of June, 1809, without leaving in this State, or in the United States, any relation by consanguinity, and possessed of some Estate in Lands within this Commonwealth, of which, as well as of the United States he had long been a Citizen. His intent was to give the whole to the subscriber, as his Nuncupative Will, now of Record, will sufficiently prove; but the Subscriber hath been advised, that a Will of that kind cannot effect a conveyance of Lands, how far soever it may prove the intent of the Testator, and that the Lands late of the said Richard Smyth do of consequence, each to the commonwealth, though contrary to his intent of bestowing them on a citizen thereof. For that reason, the subscriber shall request the General Assembly, at its ensuing session, by Petition, to carry the intent of the said Smyth into execution, by releasing the interest of the Commonwealth in the Lands whereof he was possessed, or entitled to within the same, to the Subscriber.

FOR SALE, two thousand acres of York-River LAND, situated on the Pomunkey, in the upper end of King-William, distant from Richmond twenty-five miles, from Hanover-Town ten, and from Hanover Courthouse five—This Estate is one of the best on York-River, combining as many advantages, as most in the lower country: the land is not so sandy as the Pomunkey low-lands generally are, which makes it produce good crops of Wheat & Corn—Adjoining it is a manufacturing Mill, not more than two miles from the Barn door, where the Richmond price is given, deducting the carriage to market. For health, elegance of situation, and good water, few places more happily combine these advantages—One sixth of the purchase money being paid down, a credit of five years will be given to the purchaser, and a Deed of trust required on the land, to insure the punctual payment of the remaining instalments.

LAND FOR SALE.—The subscriber offers for sale that valuable estate on which he formerly resided, lying on James River, near the Town of Warminster, in the County of N. J. son, lately Amherst.

From our German papers received by the Eutau, Capt. Gant, in 45 days from Sylt.
The Copenhagen Gazette states that the news of the battle of the 5th and 6th July, between the French emperor and the archduke Charles was known in Paris on the 12th of July.
The Turks are reported to have forbidden the English the passage of the Dardanelles, and it is generally believed that their friendship with England is at an end.
VIENNA, June 23.
TWENTY-THIRD BULLETIN.
The 25th inst. the emperor Napoleon reviewed a large body of troops on the heights of Schoenbrunn. A line of 8000 cavalry was displayed, as also another of artillery with 200 pieces of cannon. On Saturday the 24th our troops entered Raab at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. On the 25th, the garrison marched out as prisoners of war. The command of the town was given to General Narbonne.
The duke of Auerstadt, (Davoust) is before Presburg, where the enemy was fortifying himself. The duke put in a flag demanding the enemy to surrender the town, which he refused. The town was then closely invested and 4000 bombs were thrown in which set the town on fire in different places. On the 22nd the archduke Ragusa with the army of Dalmatia crossed the Drave, and marched against Graz. On the 24th general Vandamme ordered 300 of the Wirttemberg troops, under Colonel Kehler, to cross the river at Molk, to reconnoitre the dispositions of the enemy. As soon as they got over, they met several companies of the enemy whom they put to flight, and took 39 prisoners of whom two were officers, belonging to the regiment of Mironki.
The prince of Ponte Corvo (Beraadotte) with the Saxon army is at St. Pölten. The duke of Dantzig (Lefebvre) who remained near Linz, ordered Gen. Wrede to reconnoitre the enemy's camp. All the enemy's posts were destroyed, and several officers and twenty privates taken. The object to be obtained by reconnoitring was, to gain information respecting the dispositions of the enemy.
Vienna and the army are plentifully provided with all kinds of provisions. A large quantity of wine and (several millions of bottles) in the neighboring convents, which has been distributed among the soldiery.
STRASBURG, July 8.
Letters from Vienna state, that on the first inst. in the night the duke of Rivoli crossed
the Danube with 800 men, and destroyed several works which the enemy had erected to oppose his passage, on the same night 10,000 men followed.
The general of the guard in a letter to his family, of the 2d July from the island of Lobau (Napoleon) says, "60,000 men are today crossing the Danube, 60,000 more are immediately to follow them. When you receive this letter, a grand decisive battle will have been fought."
From the Danube, July 5.
General McDonald's division which forms the right wing of the Italian army, has crossed the Raab, and must at this moment have advanced as far as Nesprim.
On the night of the first July, the French passed from the island of Lobau to the left bank of the Danube with a numerous train of artillery, a number of cavalry and some infantry.
The whole Austrian army, expecting an attack, lay that night under arms, but nothing was done that night or the following day. The French did not seem disposed to fight, but began to construct a tete de pont on the left bank of the Danube, and build a fourth bridge. The Austrians believed that if the French wished to engage, they would be obliged to storm the batteries behind which their army was drawn up in battle array. On the 3d the archduke Charles ordered the whole army to resume their former positions in the interior of the fortifications as he believed the expected attack of the French was postponed.
VIENNA, July 5.
Since the first inst. several divisions of the French and Italian armies have crossed the Danube on three new bridges, the combined armies of France and Italy, (the latter commanded by prince Eugene, Beauharnais) amount to 170,000 men, and have already taken a strong position on the left bank of the Danube, over which the emperor himself crossed last night with the remainder of his army. We hear this day distinctly the sound of cannon on the side of the Aspern and Essling, and a courier has this moment arrived who states that the French had already taken by storm the first redoubts of the fortified camps of the archduke Charles. Tomorrow, to all appearance, will be a very dreadful day, which will decide the fate of the Austrian monarchy.
AUGSBERG, July 9.
The Bavarian general, Vincent, arrived here this morning and gives the following detail. On the 5th inst. at an early hour in the morning the emperor Napoleon by his maneuvering, attracted the attention of the archduke Charles on the side of the Aspern and Essling, and in the interior ordered two additional bridges to be thrown over one of the arms of the Danube six miles below Ebersdorf, which was soon executed and 30,000 men crossed over on them. At twelve o'clock they came up and commenced an attack on the enemy's flank. The emperor of France forced the center of the Austrian army and soon after obliged the left wing to give way when they were completely routed. At 7 in the evening they were flying in all directions.
[FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN]
Further translations from our Hamburg papers.
Extract from Vienna, dated 5th July.
On the 4th, the Austrian General Von Weissenwolf arrived at the head quarters of his majesty the Emperor Napoleon, in order to treat, in the name of the Archduke Charles, respecting an armistice and the preliminaries of a peace. When the monarch declined it, Gen. Von Weissenwolf declared, that the army of the Archduke Charles was 200,000 men strong. It was answered, that the fate of this army would be decided in a day or two. Weissenwolf obtained orders, however, to go to Vienna to his relations.
MUNICH, July 11.
Lieutenant Gen. Von Wrede had first a horse shot under him; and afterwards he received a contusion on the hip, from a cannon ball, which is not dangerous. It is said, that in the battle of the 5th and 6th, among others, the Archduke Lewis was dangerously wounded.
HAMBURGH, July 21.
On the 19th inst General Russell, with a Westphalian division of 6,000 men, commenced his march from Erfurth for Hanover, for which his majesty the King of Westphalia, with the guards, breaks up on the 24th inst.
FROM THE DANUBE, July 10.
Field Marshal Lieut. d'Aspre died of his wounds, and on the 8th, was buried at Bruun.
FROM MORAVIA, 12th July.
On the 4th, the French threw a new bridge from the Island Lobau across the Danube. The ground and an immense quantity of artillery, much facilitated this undertaking. The imperial royal army were posted on the heights behind the Russbach and extended their right wing to Sussbrunn and Kagram, with the left to Neusiedel. The center was at Wagram. In the night, between the 4th and 5th, the enemy completed his passage to the left bank, and very early in the morning showed himself in great numbers on the plain.
About noon he attacked at all points the line of the imperial royal army; but his greatest effort was directed against the center. His attacks, supported by an immense number of artillery, among which were many batteries of the largest calibre, were repeated with the greatest fury. At ten o'clock at night the firing ceased.
On the 6th, at 4 o'clock in the morning the enemy repeated his attacks with still greater vehemence, than the day before. The struggle

The imperial army suffered a great loss. In General Normann it lost a most accomplished commander. The Generals Peter Veesay, d'Aspre and Vukassowicz are past recovery. Less severely wounded are Generals, the Prince of Hesse, Homburg, Stutterheim and Parr. His imperial highness the Generalissimo himself, and the Prince Lichtenstein, received wounds; but which will have no bad consequence.
FROM AUGSBURG, 13th July.
Agreeably to orders yesterday received from Vienna, this morning early, the general of Division the Reichsgraf and Senator Beaumont with a considerable body of troops, that were hitherto cantoned in this city and neighborhood, marched through Memmingen towards Voralberg. They have a powerful train of artillery with them.
The number of the new conscription, which has arrived here within 3 days, amounts to 6000 men.

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS.
SEVILLE, July 20, 1809.
"Last week, Wellesley had an interview with Cuesta, in which they concerted a plan of operations."
"Their army then consisted, by the best accounts, of 53,000 infantry and 11,000 cavalry—to which may be added the reinforcement since arrived at Lisbon from England, about 8,000. The 57th regiment from Gibraltar, and general Venegas's division of 26,000 men—And the whole may be estimated at 100,000 effective men, in the following positions: Venegas the right wing, Cuesta the centre, and Sir A. Wellesley the left. Venegas advanced on the 16th and his advanced posts were at Manzanares, Daymiel and Solana; all on this side the Guadiana. Cuesta advanced on the 17th, and it is said to be at Naval Moral, and Wellesley near Talavera de la Reyna."
"Thus we may hourly expect advices of a general action; and prayers have been offered up in the cathedral, at which the central Junta assisted to day in a body."
"The French have concentrated their forces in La Mancha, Estremadura, &c. and upon the smallest computation, I estimate that they have from 70 to 80,000 men in a body, or in positions to co-operate together. Thus something very important may be expected to be the result, and very shortly."
"CADIZ, July 28.
"All the news from the interior and the armies, is extremely gratifying—every thing goes on well."
"GIBRALTAR, July 26, 1809.
"The British expedition from Sicily, under general Sir John Stewart, has disembarked near Naples, and taken several places among them Baida."
"The natives in great numbers were joining the British army."
[The force of this armament was stated in a former account, to amount to twenty-three thousand men]
"CADIZ, July 24.
"With respect to our political situation I have only to say the French, finding their force too much divided, have evacuated the north of Spain as far as Ferrol, and have concentrated all their forces in the neighborhood of Madrid with a determination, no doubt of waiting until, the results of the campaign in Germany. The combined troops of England and Spain are, however, determined to bring them to action, and it is expected at this very moment that a general action has taken place. The results are not much dreaded. Should the French be worsted, their army will be destroyed. Should the combined army meet any reverse, they have a powerful army of reserve on the road to their assistance, and the passes to this province are well guarded. It is reasonable to
expect that if the Austrians hold out but a few months longer, that there will not be a Frenchman in Spain except prisoners."

MURCIA, July 8.
Yesterday's mail brought us the following letter, which we give here literally:
MAHON, June 21, 1809.
MR. EDITOR—I avail myself of the opportunity of a vessel going to sail for the coast of Spain, to impart to our beloved nation the pleasing and official intelligence which the Governor of this island has just received from his Sicilian majesty, to the following purpose:
"The British and Sicilian troops, which landed on the coast of Italy, united with the intrepid natives of that kingdom who are anxious to take vengeance of the evils inflicted on them by the tyranny of Europe, have obtained the greatest advantages as they have succeeded in setting the whole of that kingdom (of Naples) against the oppressor (Murat) who tyrannizes over it, and enabled many of the towns which groaned under his yoke to shake it off."
"There is no city in Italy," it is further stated, "but has issued a proclamation to urge the inhabitants to rise." And, this intelligence being so favorable to the most just cause which the Spaniards are defending, I will not let this opportunity escape, that the nation may have the joyful news without delay. I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed)
MARTIN COSTA, Captain of the Milicia.
SALEM, Sept. 9.
FROM GOTTENBURG.
On Wednesday arrived here the brig Eliza & Mary, Capt. Turner, from Gottenburg—When she sailed (23 July) peace had not yet been made between Russia and Sweden, but it was an event soon expected. The Russians had an army of 40,000 men (double the number of the Swedish army) in the neighborhood of Stockholm. It was reported, that Russia had offered the restoration of Finland which she had recently conquered from Sweden, and Pomerania, which the French had heretofore taken, on condition that Sweden should enter into the compact against Great Britain, and shut her ports to British commerce.
A letter from the above arrival mentions the expectation of peace between Sweden and Russia.
The day before capt. T's leaving Gottenburg, it was reported by a gentleman from Norway that FIFTY FOUR SAIL OF AMERICAN VESSELS had been taken into the different ports of that coast.
The following American vessels were captured by the Danes and carried into Norway: At Fulsund, ship Good Friends, Thompson, of Philadelphia; North America, Drinkwater, from Portland; Jane, M'Lean, do. do. Endeavor, Leavitt, from Salem; Rachel, Joseph, do. do.; brig Swarrows, Leach, from Beverly. At Lauving, ship Herschel, Lewis, Portland. At Christianstad, ship Atlantic, Fountain, of Philadelphia; Barque, Edward and Henry, Foster, Gloucester; brig Ann, Howe, Boston; all three condemned at the prize court. Three American vessels, names unknown had arrived at Bergen with their own accord. Spoke in lat. 47, 30, N. long. 35, Barque Edward, Stanly, of Newburyport, from Alexandria, for Cork, 22 days out.
A letter from Copenhagen, dated the 30th of June, mentions, that the Aurora, Capt. Masters; the Henry, capt. Harris; and several other American Vessels, had been brought in there by Danish Privateers. The documents of some of them, perhaps of all, were ample and fair; but they were to undergo a trial. Hopes were entertained, of their acquittal. There are many difficulties in the way of voyages to Russia; and the exportation of hemp, iron, and sail cloth from Copenhagen is prohibited.
Extract of letters from Gottenburg, July 3d and 18.
"Ryburg & Co. of Copenhagen, write, that there is no regulation against American vessels; but that they cannot guarantee that they will not be captured by Danish privateers, though they are of opinion, if their papers are clear and they have not been to England, they would shortly be cleared."
"Mr. Williams writes from London, that the Danes will protect the American commerce, and that the vessels at Tonnigen will meet with no detention."
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13.
Captain Foster, of the bark Edward and Henry, of Gloucester, and capt. Howe, of the brig Ann, of Boston, after the condemnation of their vessels at Christianstad, in Norway, went to the king of Denmark, and exhibited to him copies of the decrees of the condemnation; who expressed an opinion that the alleged causes of condemnation were frivolous, and that he would send some person with power to ratify the proceedings; with this answer they returned thro' Gottenburg.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.
Capt. Coffin, of the ship Young Factor, from Belfast, (who arrived here a few days since) says that on the 20th July, the day before he sailed, his vessel lying in the river, he went ashore in his boat to procure some newspapers, &c. and was informed that the collector of Belfast had just received an order for an embargo on all vessels, which was general throughout all the ports in Ireland.
Merc. Adv.
On Thursday last arrived at Portsmouth, in New Hampshire, ship Tom, Hall, 45 days from Gottenburg—Sailed the 24th of July with an English convoy, which he parted with off the Naze of Norway. The Danes continue to capture every American vessel they fall in with, and at the same time Captain Hall left Sweden, there were accounts of upwards of fifty sail of Americans being carried in and detained in the different Danish ports, and many had been condemned. Captain H. further informs that Sir James Saumarez was in the Baltic with a very powerful squadron, which was strengthened daily, and that an attack was supposed to be meditated upon Cronstadt. Captain Hall spoke several English men of war during his passage, and was treated politely. Ib.
At a late hour last evening, the pilot boat
Brothers came up from Sandy Hook, having boarded the ship William, in 40 days from Dublin, and left her coming up.
The pilots informed us, that the embargo in Great Britain, continued 17 days, and that the William sailed the next day after it was raised—they further state, that the captain of the William informed them, that a PEACE was concluded between FRANCE and AUSTRIA.
It is probable the William will bring London papers to the 1st of August. Ib.
[FROM THE AURORA.]
VIEWS OF VICTORY.
We have at last, the continuation of the bulletins from the 22d, the 23d, 24th and 25th, mutilated, are now received; and we may be allowed to indulge a little vanity in recurring to our speculations in the Aurora of the 22d of August, as furnishing a tolerably correct anticipation of the battles of the 5th and 6th July. For it appears by the accounts now received, that the dispositions and display of force on the Danube, above Vienna, took place, and that similar demonstrations were carrying on at the same time below, near Presburg; that as we suggested, movements were made by Lefebvre and Bernadotte, as high up as Lintz; and that every thing, on the part of the French, indicated a design to attack the Archduke on that side. We are thus particular in recurring to our own anticipations, because we have for several years been equally successful in anticipating similar events; while adverse prints have been as eager to conceal the truth when it arrives, and as backward as malignity and envy usually are in admitting any merit in a successful competitor for public confidence.
The fate of Austria, it was long foreseen, would determine the fate of continental Europe. The battles on the Danube, consequently have excited the curiosity and the anxiety of all men, whatever their political feelings may be. It is much to be regretted, that passions so little availing, which can only aggravate by after discovery, the imperfect and mortifying gratification of a temporary concealment, should induce the mutilation of the official accounts which are published of the great transactions on the arena of war. The publication of the great result, is itself sufficient to fix the political and moral effects of battles; the suppression of details, betrays therefore a pitiful littleness. Besides, there is a public utility in affording to the nation, at a period when it behoves us to be prepared for defence, every species of military knowledge; the study of the perspicuous and interesting bulletins of the armies, forms the mind to general ideas on the subject, and prepares it for more particular thinking; it stimulates to useful enquiries and very often leads to studies, which form the most invaluable characters and members of society. For besides the study of the mere art of war, it leads to the study of geography, one of the most interesting and useful of acquirements to youth; an acquirement very little attended to in our seminaries of education, altho' from the commercial character of the country, no people ought to pay more regard to geography, in all its incidents, than the people of America.
The suppression of the topographical parts of the bulletins, is at once a flagrant evidence of the want of judgment of the federal editors, and of their sacrifice of the duty of correct and faithful journalists, to futile and little passions. Had we the accounts of the military dispositions of the armies, we could, with a judicious examination of correct maps, discern the talents displayed on either side; we could appreciate the principles of defence and of attack; the degree and the character of the assault and the resistance; what manœuvres were performed, and what was their intention, their failure or success, and the causes of it. But without these facts, we are left to form from the ground and the events, the probable course of the operations, which are not always likely to answer to the actual details; because a single incident of enterprize or gallantry may overcome the disadvantages of ground, and render that a discontent of movement, which might have been, upon mere topographical rules, a most wise and judicious disposition.
In our anticipations some time ago, we fixed upon the stream of the Rusbach as a position highly favorable for defence. The whole course of the little river or stream of Rusbach, from its source in the elevated grounds near Ehrensprung, 24 miles north of Vienna, to its junction with the Danube, about 30 miles S. E. of Vienna, is about 46 miles in all its meanderings, which are generally in a direction a little east of south. Three other smaller rivers run from nearly the same source, and after a course of 20 to 30 miles, each fall into the Morave, east of the Rusbach. The river of Pirawarth, at fourteen, the Marchegg twenty, and Mispelbach thirty miles from the mouth of the Rusbach. These streams naturally find their course through valleys, amidst ground which becomes more broken & more elevated as you proceed east and north from Vienna.
Looking N. E. from Vienna, the country presents in that direction, a plain, called by the Germans Das Marschfeld, gently rising from the Danube between 20 and 30 miles; but about 8 miles north of Vienna, about Langen Entersdorff, and Korn Newburg, a ridge of elevated ground, partly cultivated and partly woody, stretches about 16 miles, and turns boldly off to the northward, and at the foot of these hills, flow the little streams that give their waters to the Rusbach, which crosses the Champagne at Walkersdorff, leaving that place on its right bank, and passing by Entersdorff, is turned abruptly by the foot of a group of hills at Pocksthyss and Scheinkirchen to the south west, and after 5 miles meanders by Deutch Wagram, also on its right bank; here it takes a bolder curve, and approaching within a mile of Aterklaa, bends its circuit to Marggraf Neisidel, which is about 5 miles east of the celebrated town of Esling. The course of the Rusbach thence, is generally south east; drawing gradually nearer to the Danube; and east of Entersdorff opposite the island of Lobau, it is only 6 miles from the Danube. At 14 miles a little east of south of Deutsch Wagram, another smaller town of the name of Wagram, called Krabitsch Wagram, stands on the same river Rusbach, directly 8 miles east of Fischamund, on the right side of the Danube, the place at which the main body of the French army is said to have debouched on the morning of the 5th July.
The country east of the Rusbach at this place is marshy and broken; very difficult, and apparently not calculated for military manœuvre; not at all for cavalry; but farther north from 7 to 10 miles, the ground becomes level and firm, the country open; with a double range of rough hills stretching east from Deutsch Wagram close to
the river Morave, which is about 20 miles east.
The line of the river Rusbach was the obvious line of defence, and its sinuosities presented at every point positions which might cover the whole of the Austrian line.
The beautiful champagne of the Marchfeld, extending from the Jethsee on the north, to Krabitsch Wagram, S. E. of Vienna, a course of 20 miles, exhibited a vast and delightful amphitheatre, the wings or extremes of which were covered by hills, and the champagne gradually rising to the eastward, so that the towers of Vienna must have been in view of the Austrian army from all parts of their line; the direction of the Austrian line was from N. W. to S. E. hills covered their rights and rear; a marsh apparently impassable covered their left, behind their left, only at 12 miles distance, was the noble river of Morave, which after its union with the Taya, 50 miles N. N. of Vienna, runs from north to south, and mingle their united streams with the Danube 30 miles a little south of east below Vienna.
This line being traced, having the course of the Rusbach and the Danube for our guides, it is easy to pursue the movements of the two armies.
With only the difference of position and the Danube to cross, the plan of attack was much the same as that of the battle of Jena and the battle of Koln, where the king of Prussia attacked the Austrians in their entrenched camp.
The Austrian force appears, on this occasion to have lost sight of the ordinary rules of war, and to have abandoned a system of precaution, which has ever been familiar to them, and which, whenever they have not been sufficiently guarded against, has ever proved fatal to them. It is a proverbial expression among military men that "when the Austrian flank is turned they are beat"—but the reason of this is generally mistaken by the application of a principle only applicable to a small force, a platoon or a battalion, compared with the whole army. A small body, attacked in front, and at the same time taken in flank, is defeated, because it cannot see and fight in two directions.
But an army does not suffer thro' exactly the same cause, but from other analogous causes; the first that, in the present case, the Austrians relied on their ground, and their redoubts, instead of their discipline, their bayonets and their heroism. The second cause is the obvious one, that as the length of a line is generally proportioned to its numbers; the attack upon its extremity, particularly perpendicular to its flank, disables it from bringing the whole force into direct action, and it is beaten in detail before it can bring up the troops to remote flanks, or throw back the flank attacked. Here the line of battle was taken in flank and rear, and even the redoubts in front of their line, appear to have been taken in their rear.
The plan of Bonaparte was reduced to a general principle, that of turning the left flank; there was no necessity to tell his generals where their columns should march, or where they should display. The map of the country was before them.
[Here follows in the Aurora a diagram illustrative of the position of the armies, which could not be exactly represented by the ordinary types, and which we could not obtain an engraver to execute in time for this day's paper.]
The woody and marshy country, described in the Austrian bulletins, which cover the left bank of the Danube, opposite Vienna, and above Aspern, and to the neighborhood of Hirschstetten, appears to have been selected as the point for a feigned attack; it now appears as we anticipated, that an appearance of attack was made above Vienna, and the movements at Schovenhauer, seem now to have been of that character. On the night of the 4th July, under cover of ten gun boats, a corps of 1500 riflemen were landed in the thickets above Aspern; that is above the island of Lobau. The Austrians had erected works there, which from their position must have been more out posts, from these the rifle corps drove the Austrians into the little Village of Muhlet, between Aspern and Hirschstetten.
Looking down the river, four miles from Aspern, was the neat little town of Entersdorff, of from 15 to 20,000 inhabitants; two miles farther down, the village and fortress of Saxengang; and four miles farther down, but on the right side of the Danube, the town of Fischamund.
The Austrian position was in front of the Rusbach, with its third line of reserves entrenched behind that river; its left at Entersdorff, its centre west and north of Esling, which was also strongly entrenched, and commanded the plain to the south and west; the villages which were thickly scattered over this beautiful plain, were all occupied by light troops; Entersdorff, six miles east of Entersdorff, Ruetzendorff, six miles east of Esling; Raatsdorff, three miles north of Ruetzendorff; Ginzendorff, and Ober Seeburn, on the Rusbach; S RANDORFF and Grabitch Wagram on the Rusbach, were all full of troops, and strengthened by intrenchments.
Atterklaa is four miles north of Raatsdorff; Neisidel, forms the last point of a triangle of equal sides, of which Raatsdorff and Atterklaa are at the other extremes; Deutsch Wagram is three miles north of Atterklaa; Gerastorff, two miles N. W. of Wagram; Jetchsee, six miles west of Gerastorff; Walkersdorff, five miles exactly north of Wagram; and Ebersdorff, two miles west of Walkersdorff; there is another Ebersdorff 16 miles N. E. of Walkersdorff, which probably is the place to which the advanced corps marched on the evening of the 6th and morning of the 7th, because we find that the advance had, in order to cut off the retreat of the Austrians into Hungary, advanced to Nicolsburg, which is 24 miles north of Walkersdorff, and 32 a little east of N. from Vienna.
The Austrian front occupied about eight miles, the riflemen who attacked their outposts on the night of the 4th, were on the northern extremity of their front, a mile to the right. The city of Ebersdorff, against which the French bombardment was directed, was five miles south of the first feigned attack; and Saxengang, a moderately strong natural position well strengthened by art, was two miles below Entersdorff, that is seven miles from the point at which the first feint was made. Fischamund, opposite which the main body crossed and displayed, was ten miles from the point first attacked; and the deployment of the French columns on the left of the Danube, and south of the Austrian line, must have embraced a circuit of four miles to the left and rear of the Austrian line. The advance of the French on the Austrian left, must have been according to their meth-
od of manœuvre, a most splendid but destructive scene. The French flanks must have been solid columns, opening from their heads by columns of battalions or sub-divisions displaying inward to the rear, and from the column advancing on the front of the column advancing on the rear, so that the extremes of the echelons met in the rear, and were sustained by other columns and successive lines; this movement gave the French a front and rear cross fire from the echelons, and a complete enfilade from the centre; the Austrians, to meet such a movement must have abandoned their works on the left, and wheeled by battalions into a line, which formed a potency upon their centre; or made a retiring fight upon their centre; the right of the Austrians must have been attracted by the rifle corps on their right, and perhaps by the movements on the Upper Danube, calculated for that purpose; their position was truly critical; they could not safely abandon their works on the right, where an enemy occupied them, in the usual mode which precedes modern attacks; and while their left was attacked, the right could not advance either in time to aid, nor to manœuvre, before the left was driven upon them; this state of things accounts for the loss of the strong works which had been constructed in the month of June, and their precipitate abandonment; for it is evident that the affairs of Ratzendorff, Gerastorff, Neisidel, and Atterklaa, were actions in route, rather than combined operations; and it is only at Deutsch Wagram, a distance of 12 miles from the place where the French displayed on the Austrian left, that any thing like a general rallying, and an action conformable to strict tactics took place.
The reader of the accounts, in the bulletins given, will be much confused, if his maps are not good, by the similarity of names of places.
There are two places of the name of Wagram, both on the Rusbach; one nearly where the French first displayed, 13 miles north of Deutsch Wagram, where the action took place.
There are three places of the name of Entersdorff, within a circle of 20 miles round Vienna; that which was burnt is on the left bank of the Danube, about 7 miles S. E. of Vienna, and opposite the island of Lobau; another Entersdorff is 7 miles above Vienna, in a valley near Jedesse; the third Entersdorff is on the south side of the Danube.
There are two places called Aspern or Aspern, one on the Danube, memorable for the battle of 21st and 22d May, 4 miles east of Vienna; the other about 26 miles N. by E. of Vienna.
There are also, two places named Neisidel or Neisidel, one on the Rusbach, 9 miles east of Vienna; the other 30 miles N. E. of Vienna, on the river of Mispelbach.
There are three places named Ebersdorff, one on the right of the Danube, head quarters, at the time of the battle of Essling; another 11 miles north east of Vienna, on the Rusbach; a third on the Mispelbach, 3 miles west of Neisidel.
ARMIES IN SPAIN.
The following is the latest account given by the Spaniards, themselves, or their force under arms in July.
  Gen. Cuesta, 44,000 in Estremadura.   Gen. Venegas, 33,000 La Mancha.   Gen. Reding, 40,000 Valencia.   M. de Romana, 20,000 Galicia.   The British army under Lord Wellesley, 43,000   The Portuguese under Sylviera, 23,000   200,000   Marshal Jourdan, 20,000 in Madrid.   Duke Echingen (Ney) 20,000 Burgos.   Duke Dalmatia (Soult) 15,000 Toledo.   Duke Belluno (Victor) 17,000 Saguntum & Cuenca.   Gen. Sebastiani, 8,000 La Mancha.   Gen. Suchet, 25,000 Catalonia.   105,000 
The army of Blake, which made a shew of resistance in Arragon, was destroyed some time ago, in a very extraordinary and decisive manner, his force was 30,000 men. The army of Romana consisted of 47,000, but it has been reduced to 20,000, and troops without discipline.
The French appear to concentrate their whole force in the neighborhood of Madrid; but with their force they must keep strong garrisons on the whole of the line from Madrid to the Appenines; and must rather reinforce than diminish their army in Catalonia; they have sent two divisions, one of 6000 & another of 4000, already in Catalonia—which is tranquil.
[FROM A LATE EDINBURGH REVIEW]
FRENCH GENERALS.
Most of the General division, marshals of the empire and others who hold the principal commands, sufficiently prove that war is an experimental science, and that military renown is not the prerogative of birth, but the harvest of toil, or the bounty of fortune.
Bessieres, originally a common soldier, became in 1796 a captain of infantry in the army of Italy. Brune, a printer at the commencement of the revolution, a member of the club of Cordeliers, commenced his military career in 1792. Augereau, a private in the Neapolitan service in 1767, became soon after a fencing master at Naples; in 1792, entered as a volunteer in the army of Italy, and in 1794 was a General of brigade in the army of the Pyrenees. Bernadotte, a sergeant in the regiment de royal marine; in 1794, a General of division. Jourdan enlisted in 1778 but left the service in 1784; was a shop-keeper at the commencement of the revolution. Kellerman began his career as a simple hussar in the regiment of Conflans. Lannes, originally a common soldier, became in 1794 adjutant of division in the national guard of Paris. Massena, a subaltern in the Sardinian service at the beginning of the revolution, in 1793 became a General of brigade. Mortier, a Captain of a volunteer company in his native Province at the same period. Ney, a hussar, through all the interior grades. Lefebvre, son of a miller of Alsace, became a sergeant in the

afterwards an officer in the twelfth regiment of chasseurs a cheval , &c. Janot began his career in 1792, as a grenadier in one of the Volunteer battalions, commanded by General Pille; and in 1796, was one of the aids-de-camp of Bonaparte.
PORT OF PROVIDENCE, Sep. 8. The schr. Little-Ann, late Capt. Culver-son, arrived at the quarantine ground, yes-terday from St. Bartholomew; when off St. Martins, she was captured by a French pri-vateer boat of four guns and ten men, three of whom with a prize-master were put on board, (Capt. Culver having been previ-ously taken on board the privateer,) and she was ordered into St. Martin's; describing how-ever, soon after a sail supposed to be British, Mr. Springer the mate, with the little as-sistance he could command, RETOOK the schooner, assumed the command and has actually brought her in safety home, hav-ing with him the pirates who undertook her capture.
DOMESTIC.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 13. We are authorised to say that American vessels permitted by the British government to go to Holland under Erskine's arrange-ment, will not be permitted by that govern-ment to bring return cargoes.— Amer.
No sooner had a boat landed here from the frigate which brought Mr. Jackson, of Co-pen-hagen memory, than two of her sea-men deserted; the rest manifested the same disposition, but were not so conveniently si-tuated to the wharf as to effect their escape from their prisonship for life.
The next day, however, (shortly after Jackson landed) a boat, manned by 11 men, arrived from the ship with four of the offi-cers, who came to dine with the minister.—As soon as they were put on shore, the men (who were not allowed to touch the wharf) returned to the ship, guarded by an officer, for their better security, whom they polite-ly assisted up the side of the vessel; and then immediately shoved off, and rowed with all the strength and swiftness that hope and fear could inspire. The ship fired their stern chaser (the only gun they could bring to bear) four times on them, but without do-ing any injury; they soon after reached a point of land, and immediately left their boat and betook themselves to flight; and by this bold and well concerted measure, have re-gained that liberty of which they so long have been bereft.
People of America, this is the navy that is to-effect your subjugation, and batter down your sea-port towns, if you do not yield im-plicitly to their maritime dominion. A navy whose seamen dare not be trusted on Ame-rican shores, by reason of their known dis-affectation, is to rule the world! A British Tar may be safely trusted on shore in Spain or Portugal, because, being a stranger to the customs and language of those countries, his facility of escape is much impeded, but here he finds a country whose manners are the same, whose language varies in no respect, and whose Constitution and form of govern-ment affords him that protection which man delights to enjoy. But what can be expect-ed of those who are torn from their friends and families by a ruthless press-gang, and compelled to drag out a miserable exist-ence in a confinement, where all the finer feelings of the soul are smothered beneath the lash of unremitting and interminable tyranny—where the poor wretch is reduced to the ab-ject necessity of trembling, cap in hand be-fore a set of lordly and capricious task mas-ters, probably far his inferiors in every truly ennobling quality.— Maryland Refub. at An-napolis.
Further accounts of the Trial of the Deser-ters from the L'Africaine , extracted from the Balt. Whig .
Messrs. Glenn and Donaldson appeared on behalf of justice and humanity, and moved for the immediate discharge of the sailors.
Messrs. Gwynn and Dorsey appeared on behalf of the British king, and prayed for time to consider the case.
The Judge decided, that the act of con-gress, which authorised the apprehension & imprisonment of deserting sailors, only ap-plied to cases where the contract for the service was made in this country, and there-fore had nothing to do with this case; that the British treaty had authorised the deliv-ery up of deserters under certain modifi-cations, but that treaty had long since ex-pired; that there appeared to be no legal warrant for detaining them; that even the alleged cause of commitment was unsup-ported by any oath or affirmation; he there-fore ordered them to be discharged. No sooner had the last words escaped from the judge's lips, than a universal-huzzah burst from the vast concourse who had waited some minutes with the greatest apparent anxiety for the event.
These are the facts. Now let us indulge in a few reflections. In order, at once, to come at the true nature of this affair, let us discharge from it every collateral circum-stance, which could only tend to lessen or heighten the color of the enormity. We will admit, for argument's sake, that every man who was brought before the judge was born within the sound of Bow-bell. Had his majesty's hand or foot offended him either consular Wood or Copenhagen Jackson; that they had each of them voluntarily en-listed to serve on board the British fleet, for a time not yet expired; and that they had, without leave of their commander, broke off and deserted. They are to us strangers, who have sought an asylum within our territory. We have permitted them to come among us; they owe an obedience to our laws, while they stay, and we owe them protection—the rights of hospitality are their due; o-therwise, the happy land of liberty would be to the persecuted fugitive a trap, an ensnar-ing den, not a place of rest and refuge. It is with pride, and without fear of contradic-tion, that I aver, there is no law, no treaty, or convention, which authorises or requires that foreign fugitives of any description , who may be found within our territory, shall be deliv-ered up to the power whence they fled.—Let me ask, then, ye freemen of Ameri-ca, in what terms with you express your in-dignation against the enormous insolence of a petty British consular, here upon your own soil, in one of your most populous cities, issuing his mandate to seize upon and drag away "the stranger that is within thy gates," to the most cruel punishment—per-haps to certain death? to pronounce the law in the midst of a band of freemen? to at-tempt to set at nought, or control the fun-damentals of justice, within the limits of inde-pendent America? The principal, the grand enormity, consists in this: in setting municipal laws with contumely, in setting
them at defiance; in violating our jurisdic-tion and prostrating those rights, here upon this soil, rich with the blood of our fathers, who fought and died in accomplishing its independence, which is secured to every man, whatever may be his nation or his call-ing, the moment he sets his foot upon Ameri-can ground.
I have so far considered the case, ac-cording to that statement of facts which consular Wood will probably make. Now let us view some of its incidents in another light:—These men were arrested and imprisoned by John Hunter, the sheriff—yes by the sher-iff—a high executive officer of the state of Maryland, imprisoned SEVEN British consuls, and, it is said, received pay for his infamous conduct! Gracious God! what may we not expect, or rather, what have we not to dread from the gold and coun-ning of Copenhagen Jackson, when a pit-iful half-witted consular can delude or seduce such men as the high sheriff of Baltimore city and county? Pure and venerable shades of Washington and Franklin!—In-kind-ness turn aside from our loathsome cupidi-ties, awaken the genius of the fields of your glory; arouse the slumbering spirits of this much injured land.
LETTER from Liverpool received in this city, dated June 17th, 1809:
GENT. To our friends in America, we have already given an opinion respecting the differences which so long and so unhappily subsist—and we ventured to request that they would act with full confidence upon that opinion. How far occurrences have borne us out in our anticipations, little doubt can now exist—but new difficulties have arisen, & our ministers have certainly assumed a tone, which does not appear very conciliatory.—Many are decidedly of opinion, that war will result from this new and extraordinary policy on the part of the British government. As a measure of diplomacy there is assuredly something perfectly unique in it; but whilst we can readily believe that Mr. Erskine dur-ing the negotiation, may have mistaken a broad for an undefined basis; or commands and instructions of a general nature, for those of an unlimited character; we are decided-ly of opinion that this conduct has not been in direct opposition to the orders received by him. That he would knowingly exceed his instructions, is with difficulty to be credited. But the supposition that he would act in un-qualified hostility to them, is not to be en-dured.
Upon this subject, our ministers, to say the best of them, have been very equivocal. We are strongly of opinion that the dispute must be shortly settled; and we think that those will act wisely, who act upon this expecta-tion.
Mr. Canning would not, at least, we are decidedly of opinion, that he would not in-troduce his temporary Bill , unless he felt a conviction that a continuance of its provi-sions would be effected in the interval, by a settlement of the whole affair.
At intervals, of about a month, we shall wait upon you with a printed report of the changes and events which appear during the period of publication; and, in the interim, we shall advise you of the variations, and prospects, that take place in this market, at the time of their occurrence, by such oppor-tunities as may offer.
P.S. Under date of the 23d January, it appears that Mr. Canning gave instructions to Mr. Erskine. Mr. Oakley did not sail un-till the 1st March or thereabouts, but of what nature the orders, subsequent to the 23d Ja-nuary were, we are left to conjecture. We have no doubt that Mr. Erskine has received in substance, though not in form , nearly every thing that was required; and we believe that Mr. Jackson, on leaving this country, declared his perfect conviction of a full and friendly arrangement.
The Secretary of War has visited the for-tresses in this harbor, and is now we under-stand, taking a tour to the eastward for the purpose of inspecting the posts and garrisons.— Boston Chron.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 12. Extract of a letter from a respectable gen-tleman in New York to his correspondent in this city. "A week after Mr. Jackson sailed from England, a fast sailing frigate was dispatch-ed to Halifax, with communications for him. They were sent overland to St. John's im-mediately, whence a king's vessel took them without delay to Boston, from which place an express carried them to Washington. They probably grew out of the late French victory."
[On the above we may only remark, that the letter is dated on Friday last, and that we announced on the 28th ult. the arrival at Boston of H. B. M. schr. Bream, with Des-patches for Mr. Jackson.]— Fed. Gaz.
SWEDISH CONSULATE. BOSTON, 1st. Sept. 1809. No. 24, INDIA WHARF. For the information of Merchants, and o-thers concerned, notice is hereby given, that no vessel will be admitted into Swedish ports in Europe, unless provided with a bill of health and certificates to the proofs of pro-perty by the consular or vice consular at the place of the vessel's departure—and that vessels from St. Bartholomew must also be furnish-ed with proofs of property and consular cer-tificates, to ensure them an admittance in said island.
The case of the here-in-after mention-ed Driver , has been previously published in the Enquirer.
FREDERICKSBURG, Sept. 13. MR. GREEN. A Captain of an American vessel, whose residence is in Philadelphia, declares that he was at the island of St. Bartholomew last winter, when David Driver , captain of the schooner Diana Talbert, of Norfolk, arrived there with a cargo of flour and to-bacco, in violation of the Embargo law; and that he obtained for his flour Thirty Dollars per barrel, and Twenty-five dollars per 100 lbs. for his Tobacco. After which, he saw the said Driver appear before the Swedish Governor, and there take the oath of a Swed-ish subject, to enable him to sail vessels under Swedish colours.—Such men's names ought to be a libel on every thing that is re-spectable.
MUDFORT. September 15th 1809. From the N. Y. E. Post of Sep. 12. Idle report.—Our Philadelphia Corres-pondent observed in his letter of to day's mail that the American frigate Constitu-tion , (which happens to be now lying in the
Sound,) had fallen in with a British frigate, given her battle, (for some cause unknown) and after a severe contest, had, of course, conquered her, and had, of course, again, carried her in; not one word of which did our correspondent believe.
MORE BRITISH FRIENDSHIP!!!

AMERICAN CITIZENS, Dragged into slavery, by "our good friends," the British.
MR. IRVINE. You will render the public a favor, and may be the means of conveying the sad news to some tender parents, wives and children of the situation of their sons, husbands and fathers.
The under mentioned are the names of those that sailed from this port on the 17th of May last, in the schooner Eleanor , of George Town, myself master, for the island of St. Bartholomew. On the 9th of June, in the longitude of 62 W. and latitude 26 N. was boarded by his (Britannic) Majesty's brig of war Sappho , capt. William Charl-ton, Esq. Master; he, without any hesitation or the least provocation, and without giving the least satisfaction (explanation of his con-duct) put on board a prize master and seven men, took from on board the Eleanor , the following men:—John Tabour, William Pen-ry, both of the state of Massachusetts; Phi-lip Tarney & Thomas Wilks of the Eastern shore, state of Maryland; Isaac Woodward, Molsey Aulspn, James Brown, and Dansey Brown, of Anne Arundel county, state of Ma-ryland, and ordered the Eleanor for Jamai-ca. Thomas Wilks was the only man that was returned—he being but an ordinary sea-man; the rest might have been returned by the same medium, had the proud imperious commander thought proper. There is no doubt but that he intends they shall serve his majesty , as at the time, they came on board, he observed, that they were "dam-nered hearty fellows." A number of his ma-jesty's officers, the admiral himself, was much disappointed to find the Eleanor was acquit-ted without cost; a circumstance that sel-dom happens. It was the opinion at Kings-ton, of those who are most in favor of Ame-rica, that nine tenths of the American ves-sels which are detained by the British cru-izers, belonging to that station, are merely detained for the sake of a compromise :—For instance, the schooner Julian , of Phila-delphia, compromised without a trial, and so might the Eleanor , if she had to do it at last or else be abandoned; for they have got to be such complete sharpers, that it is al-most impossible to evade them.
SAMUEL GOVER, Capt. of the Eleanor .
BANKING!!! To show to what ridiculous and dan-gerous lengths, the business of Banking has been overdone in the New England States, the two following Articles from the Boston Prints are re-published in the Enquirer:
BANK BILLS.
What are current Bank Bills? Is a question so frequently asked, and so various are the answers given, that the following solution is submitted:
All Banks that pay their Bills in specie, or Boston Bank Bills, on presentment, per-form their duty, and their Bills have a right to the demonstration of Current Bills. Such Bills are, as safe and valuable to the hold-ers, as Boston Bank Bills, except the circumstance of their distance from home, and the small number of each Bank he may have. In consequence of these circum-stances—to convert them into Boston money, the holder must, of necessity, discount ge-nerally, from half to three per cent.
Class 1—Of such Current Bills, the follow-ing is the List—Viz.
   Discount—Dls. Cts.     New York, On 100 1   Connecticut, " 1   Rhode Island, with the two " 50   following exceptions— " 1   Viz. "   Westerly, " 6   Smithfield, " 3   Portsmouth Banks, Exeter " 2   and Dover, " 2   Concord, signed Timothy " 1   Walker, " 1   Worcester, " 1   Portland Banks, Nantucket " 2   do. Saco, New-Bedford " 50   and Plymouth, " 50   Essex, invariably, " 50  
LIST OF SUCH.
Penobscot, & These Bills have been Wiscasset, & usually paid in drafts Hallowell, from 10 to 15 days, some- times on interest. The presumption is, that those Drafts have been paid when due—great exertions have been made, and are still making to restore them to their former credits. The Penobscot Bank has had the fewest runs for specie of any Bank and is therefore most able to pay.
Class 3d—The Banks, issuing the follow-ing bills, have done paying—and they rest upon individual purchasers. They are at a discount from 5 to 50 per cent.
   Discount—Dls. Cts.     Vermont, for 100 dls. steadily, 12 50   Coox, " 50   Amherst, " from 10 to 25   Concord, signed Towne, " "   Northampton, " "  
FROM THE CENTINEL.
COOS BANK BILLS.
MR. RUSSEL. At the request of several gentlemen, who are holders of the bills of the Coos Bank to a large amount, I have recently made an ex-cursion to Hanover in New Hampshire, for the purpose of enquiring into the state of that Corporation, and ascertaining what is the probability of their being able eventually to pay off their creditors. I had an interview with the president and Cashier, and some of the Directors, and found them disposed to give me all the information which I re-quired, and to expose to my view such of the Books and other documents as I request-ed. By the desire of my employers I now communicate to you the result of my enqui-ries. The present embarrassments of the Cor-poration result principally from two causes. The first is that the security which they hold for most of the debts due to them con-sists principally in Real Estate in New Hampshire and Vermont; and although they believe that few or none of those debts are desperate, yet they cannot command the mo-ney for them at present; but in many ins-tances will undoubtedly be obliged to wait till
the expiration of the term of redemption li-mited by law in such cases. The second cause is the frequent allowance of premi-ums for the redemption of their bills as they have been presented for payment—This practice they have long pursued, and although at first, when the instances were not so frequent as of late, it was not attended with any considerable inconvenience, yet at length they became alarmed at the conse-quences, and saw that to persist in the prac-tice longer, would not only exhaust their ca-pital stock, but render them unable to re-deem their bills. Therefore as they had not on hand the means to pay off all their bills as they were presented, they agreed that it was incumbent on them to refuse payment to any at present with a view to an equal and impartial payment of all, as soon as they could avail themselves of the necessary means. But they receive their bills in discharge of debts due to them and have redeemed a large amount of them in this way since they stopped direct payment. Another difficulty which presses hard upon them, is that since their embarrassments a vast number of suits have been commenced against them as a Corpora-tion upon single bills, the costs upon all of which, if they should be prosecuted, would amount to a sum which it would be difficult if possible for them to pay and do justice to their other creditors. Suits have also been instituted by creditors in large sums against the President and directors, in their person-al capacity, & their private estates have been attached thereon, upon the ground that they have exceeded the right granted by their charter in the amount of the bills which they have issued. It does not appear that the members of the corporation have embezzled any of the common property, or that they have made dividends unreasonably large.
Their last dividend was on the first day of July last, and was at the rate of 7 per cent per annum. Upon the whole, although the President and Directors have been very pre-sumptuous and indiscreet, there does not seem to be any evidence that they ever en-tertained a design to defraud the publick, but as far as can be inferred from their lan-guage and conduct at this time, they are de-sirous to do equal justice to all as far as they are able. For this purpose they are about to propose to their creditors, after acknow-ledging a demand for the payment of their bills, so that they may pay interest, that if the plaintiffs in the suit on single bills can be per-suaded not to pursue them, they will give to all their creditors present security for the eventual payment of two thirds of their re-spective demands including what they may be able to pay forthwith, upon condition that their creditors will put the bills which they hold out of circulation, by depositing them in the hands of some trustees or Bank for one year. At the end of which term, if the bills should remain unpaid, which there is great probability will prove to be the case the creditors will be at liberty to pursue any remedy in their power. If the corporation should at the same time exhibit such a state-ment or abstract of their affairs as would show these terms to be the best in their power, perhaps their creditors would think pro-per to accept them.

Extract of a letter from Mr. Abraham Buss to his father Mr. James Buss, of this village, written at St. Maloes, France, June 10, 1809, and received by the Men-tor.
"This last winter I was obliged to enter on board of a privateer for my living, as the ship in which I came to France was con-demned and the crew turned ashore without money or friends; and I expect to do the same the winter coming. I assure you that the Americans are rascally imposed upon in this country since the embargo in America, and our counsels will not look into the grie-vances of American citizens;—therefore we are treated more like slaves, than respected as sons of liberty; but as soon as I can get dismissed, and find an opportunity to return home, I shall improve it."
"As it is not permitted to speak or write of politics in this country, I must stop, be-lying that my friends in America will pu-a proper price on that jewel LIBERTY, which is known only in our country; and should any foreign power attempt to rob us of that treasure, may their hands be strong, and their hearts sincere, in defending that in which alone happiness consists."
PORTSMOUTH HARBOUR, (Eng.)
April 11, 1809. We, the undersigned, have this day at-tended an experiment, made upon Messrs. Lamb & Co's newly invented Condenser, for converting salt water into fresh, on board the ship Alexander , transport No. 138, and do not hesitate to say it answers a very valuable purpose, as it affords a constant supply of pure, wholesome fresh water, for the ship's company, from the water of the ocean, in the usual hours of cooking, without interfering with the same, and without any additional ex-pence.
We can therefore, with propriety, recom-mend the same to the use of all ships or ves-sels, particularly on long voyages.

DIVING BELL.
We learn with much pleasure, that the proprietors of this truly useful machine, anticipate the possession of considerable property for thirty years buried in the wa-ters of Penobscot. The Government brig which was blown up and sunk at the close of the war, was laden principally with nat-ural stores, cannon, ball &c. A large quan-tity of balls have already been recovered, which have sustained some diminution, the natural consequence of their long immersion in water. We understand that the rigging and cordage, which was found saved, still retains its original strength and durability, while the portion which came in immediate contact with the water was entirely rotten and decayed.

ARRESTATION FOR MURDER.
[By the following account taken from the Saratoga Independent American, it appears that a man who calls his name Abijah Sterns, and who, in two letters, which he has written since his commitment, to Stephen Jacobs and Elijah Paine, Esquires, of Vermont, styles himself "Chief Judge of the Supreme Court" of that state was last seen apprehended in the county of Washington, New York, charged with being the perpetrator of a murder committed at a place called Newton, in the town of Halfmoon, about 14 years ago.
Ballston Spa, Sept. 5, 1809.
MURDER!!!
Many of the inhabitants of this county will recollect, that 2 murders were supposed to have been committed in the place then called Newton, in Halfmoon, about 14 years since. The body of one man was found, suspended, and the appearance of having been suspended by a handkerchief or rope, to a tree or limb; and a dog brought in the skull of another, though we believe the body was never found.
A man by the name of Abijah Sterns, taken in the county of Washington, was on Wednesday committed to the jail of this county, charged with the murders. The circumstances which have attached suspicion on Mr. Sterns are singular; & have thrown some light on the subject, which was never before known. We will relate, as near as we have been informed, his own story; and although we shall not pretend to exactness in every instance, yet shall aim at the substance.
About 14 years ago, he was travelling from Albany to Argyle, and in a piece of woods, heard the cries of a man in distress. Stopping, he saw a man at the distance of about 20 rods, tied to a tree and another knock him in the head with the butt-end of a pistol, who then took a knife from his pocket, and cut his throat from ear to ear; he saw the blood stream from the wound.
Mr. Sterns asserts, that he is chief judge of the Supreme Court of Vermont; and has forwarded letters to that state, of which the following are copies.
BALLSTON JAIL, August 31, 1809.
To Judge Stephen Jacobs, of Windsor:
SIR I take this opportunity to inform you, that I have been on business to Albany, and on my return to Watertown, have been apprehended on suspicion of murdering a man in Halfmoon, 14 years ago, the same that was murdered by Williams & Adams, who was convicted before you & Judge Paine, and Willett and Wilson, on the twenty third of January, 1807.
TO ELIJAH PAINE, Judge of the Circuit Court of the U. S. HONOR'D SIR,
I take this opportunity to acquaint you with my unhappy situation. I have been on business to Albany, and on my return to Watertown, have been apprehended on suspicion of having committed murder in Halfmoon.
mercy and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, might be bestowed upon all men both in this world & that which is to come; and who esteems it an honor to subscribe himself your most obedient, very humble servant.

INTERESTING.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of a Resolve of Congress, is collecting information from all parts of the U. S. on the subject of manufactures.
He has addressed a circular letter to the Post-Master of this town, requesting of him to forward a statement of all the manufactures established in the vicinity of this place.
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:
1st. Manufactures of Wool. What number of carding machines are there in the town of _____?
2d. Manufactures of flax. How many yards of linen and tow cloth are made in the town of _____, and the value of it?
3d. Manufactures of Leather. How much Leather is made in the town of _____, and the value?
4th. Manufactures of Iron, other than the common blacksmith work.
5th. 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.

A cause of an extraordinary nature, was decided at the last term of the Husting Court of this Borough. The case was this. A French privateer about three years since fell in with a vessel belonging to this port, in some part of the Florida Gulph; carried her under the shore, and anchored; plundered her of part of her cargo, materials, and took out two negro slaves belonging to the owner here; afterwards the master of the privateer (as the master of the American vessel stated in his protest, but which was not before the court) compelled the American master to draw a ransom bill for 4000 dollars on his own, which the latter did. The action was brought to recover the amount of this bill.

Hail to the Muse! who sung from Chaos hurld, How suns and planets form'd the whirling world; How sphere on sphere earth's hidden strata bend, And caves of rock, her central fires defend; Where gems, new born, their twinkling eyes unfold, And young ones shoot in aborescent gold. How the fair flower, by zephyr woo'd, unfurls
its panting leaves, and waves its azure curls: To spread, in gay dress, its lucid form; To meet the sun, and shut it to the storm; While in green veins, impassion'd eddies move, And beauty kindles into life and love.
How the first embryo fibre, sphere or cube, Lives in new forms, a line, a ring, a tube; Clos'd in the womb with limbs unfinish'd laves, Sips with rude mouth, the salutary waves; Seeks round its cell the sanguine streams that pass,
And drinks with crimson gills the vital gas; Weaves with soft threads the blue meand'ring vein, The heart's red concave, and the silver brain; Leads the long nerve, expands the impatient sense,
And clothes in silken skin, the nascent Ens, Ere wide, emerging from its liquid bed, It lifts in gelid air its nodding head; The light's first dawn, with trembling eyelid hails, With lungs untaught, arrests the balmy gales;
Tries its new tongue, in tones unknown, and hears The strange vibrations with unpractis'd ears; Seeks with spread hands the bosom's velvet orbs, With closing lips the milky fount absorbs; And, as compress'd the dulcet streams distil, Drinks warmth and fragrance from the living rill;
Eyes with mute rapture every waving line, Prints with adoring kiss the Paphian shrine, And learns, ere long, the perfect form confess'd, Ideal beauty from its Mother's breast. Now in strong lines, with bolder tints design'd, You sketch ideas and pourtray the mind; Teach how fine atoms of impinging light To ceaseless change the visual sense excite; While the bright lens collects the rays that swerve,
And bends the focus on the moving nerve How thoughts to thoughts are link'd with viewless chains, Tribes leading tribes, and trains pursuing trains; With shadowy trident how Volition guides, Surge after surge, his intellectual tides; Or, Queen of Sleep, Imagination, roves With frantic sorrows, or delicious Loves.
Go on, O Friend! explore with eagle-eye, Where wrapp'd in night, retiring Causes lie; Trace their slight bands, their secret haunts betray, And give new wonders to the beam of day; 'Till, link by link, with step aspiring trod, You climb from Nature, to the throne of God.
So saw the Patriarch, with admiring eyes, From Earth to Heaven a golden ladder rise; Involv'd in clouds, the mystic scale ascends, And brutes and angels crowd the distant ends.

TEN DOLLARS REWARD.—Runaway from the Subscribers, in the early part of April last, near South-West-Point, in Tennessee, a negro man, named MOSES: we suppose him to be about six feet high, well made, a little inclined to be knock-kneed, of a dark complexion, speaks slow when spoken to, and inclines to lisp a little: his clothes cannot be described, as he took off a number, and of various kinds.
The said negro was purchased by the subscribers, (in February last), of Martin Turner, of this City, and generally calls himself Moses Turner. He has a wife in this place, and it is supposed he is now lurking some where in this Town, as we have been informed he has been seen here, previous to our arrival. The above reward, besides legal charges, will be given to any person who will deliver the said Negro to Richard Terrel or J. A. Grant, or secure him in any Jail so that they get him again. R. TERREL, J. A. GRANT. Sept. 15.

All persons are strictly forbidden from harboring or employing the above Negro. Also all Captains of Vessels, or any other person, are forbidden from taking the said fellow out of the State under the strictest penalty of the Law. R. T. & J. A. G.
A GREAT BARGAIN—For Sale, that well known & valuable Farm, on Chickahominy river, formerly the property of Mr. T. Watkins, dec'd. about 14 miles from Richmond, containing 545 acres: a very considerable part is valuable swamp land, part of which is reclaimed, and now in meadow, from which I have been credibly informed, that Mr. Watkins in his life-time, cut upwards of 100 ton of hay in the year; there is about 120 acres of swamp Land now in timber; and could be reclaimed at a very inconsiderable expense, to make at least double the quantity of hay, that has formerly been cut. There is a considerable quantity of Cedar on the high land, and I believe, full sufficient to fence the greater part of the plantation in. On this plantation, is a tolerable good dwelling-house, kitchen and a very good barn, with several out-houses for Negroes: Also, an excellent young apple orchard, of about 300 bearing trees, in best fruit, and about 100 more of the choicest kind, with a variety of pears and cherries, all of which are choice fruit. There is also on this plantation a very valuable mill-seat, on which there was formerly a good grist-mill, and from information, used to receive from 50 to 60 barrels of toll-corn per annum. Last year I erected a new mill-house on it, with a considerable part of the running water finished, and for about 100 dollars expense, the mill could be completed. Few plantations in this country, possess more natural advantages, as the whole of the meadow can be watered from the mill stream. This Farm is worthy the attention of any person who is fond of farming, and can be made as productive as any in the state, for the number of acres it contains. I am satisfied, to any man, who would turn his attention to making of hay, the product of that article alone, would be from 3 to 400 pounds annually, independent of corn and wheat. Also, about 100 acres of Woodland, in the county of New-Kent, adjoining the plantation on which Mr. John Hylton resides. To any person unable to purchase this farm, I will give a credit of one and two years, on paying one-third of the purchase money down, on securing the balance, by a deed of trust, on the premises. The crop of corn, fodder, stock and farming utensils, may be had with or without the plantation. Apply to Mr. James Brown, Vendue Master, in Richmond, or to the subscriber. The purchasers may have the privilege of sowing any small grain they may think proper this fall. DAN'L. L. HYLTON. September 5.
LANDS FOR SALE.—The subscriber offers for sale, his tract of Land, in Amherst county, lying on the west side of the main road forming the new court-house now building, containing three hundred and sixty acres. Upon this land is an eligible situation for a store, also, for a tavern, there is likewise, a very desirable situation for a professional gentleman, being in a wealthy, populous and agreeable neighborhood. The Land is fertile, well watered, lies very well and enclosed by hedges. Upon it is a plantation well improved, and in a high state of cultivation, laid off into separate fields, and each field, in its turn, for some years past, has been sowed in small grain rolled in plaster of Paris, and in the spring following sowed in red clover. The Indian corn has also been rolled in plaster of Paris, when planted, for some years past. The plantation is sufficient to work six hands to advantage. Also, another tract of Land, lying in the aforementioned county of Amherst, on the waters of Penny-saver, adjoining the lands of James Franklin, Jollett Franklin's estate, Micajah Camden, and Bartlett Cusb, containing near nine hundred acres. This tract lies extremely well; upon it is a considerable quantity of plant bed & meadow ground, it is very fertile, well watered, and well adapted to the culture of corn, wheat and tobacco: upon it is a plantation sufficient to work eight hands. A considerable part of it is fresh land, and the whole is in a high state of cultivation, well enclosed and divided into four fields, each field, in its turn, has been sowed in small grain. A part of the grain has been rolled in the plaster of Paris, and the whole has been sowed, in their turn, in red clover, which grows luxuriantly on this plantation; which, together with the white clover, that grows naturally upon it, produces very fine pasture. There is also upon it, a very good Apple Orchard, and there have lately been built thereon some useful & valuable houses. A further description is deemed unnecessary, it is presumed that no person will purchase without first viewing the lands. The overseers, living on the plantations, will show the lands to any person wishing to purchase. These lands will be sold on time, and the payments made accommodating to purchasers. Also, one other tract of Land lying in Goochland county, on both sides of Tuckahoe creek, on the north side of the three chop road, adjoining the lands of Benjamin Hughes, Benjamin Watkins and Elisha Leak's estates, containing three hundred and fifty acres: a considerable part of this land is cleared, and none of it has been in cultivation for some years past: it is land of good soil, & is well adapted to the culture of corn & wheat, and is very convenient to Market, being within 23 miles of the city of Richmond. This tract of land will also be sold on time, and the payments made accommodating to the purchaser. For farther particulars, apply to the Subscriber, living in the city of Richmond. WILLIAM GALT. w4w

ABSCONDED from the Subscriber, on the night of the 7th July last, a Negro man named Stephen 20 years old, five feet, eight or nine inches high, of a tawny complexion, with a very remarkable scar, on the right side of his forehead, occasioned by a burn; he carried with him sundry clothes among them was a black du-rantz coat, constitution cord pantaloons and two cotton shirts. The above negro was purchased of Mr. Joseph Doshield of Northumberland County, to which place I suspect he will endeavor to get, as his parents live in that country. I will give twenty dollars to any person that will apprehend or secure him in Jail, so I get him again, or forty dollars for his delivery to me living in Brunswick County. PETERSON RAWLINGS. w3m
