Her house is large and commodious, and situated nearly in the centre of the town—She will have an entirely new set of Servants, & hopes, by the strictest attention and exertions to please, to give satisfaction to those who may favour her with their company. Her intention is to accommodate Boys, Girls, Students of William & Mary College, grown Gentlemen, or Ladies, with board and lodging, or board only, by the day, month, or quarter of a year, on reasonable terms. ANNA BYRD. Richmond, August 1.
SIXTY DOLLARS REWARD —Ranaway from the subscriber, the 5th inst. a black man, named ISHAM, about 5 feet, 11 inches high, a large strong fellow, who has been accustomed lately to working on board of vessels, and going by water; it is well ascertained that he left this, in a vessel, and it is probable is co-located with a mulatto Woman, named LOUANA, who ran away the 29th of last month. She is about 22 years of age, rather inclined to be fat, & somewhat under the common height. She has very bushy hair, and a freckled face, and had sores on both her arms, one of which was occasioned by a burn just above the elbow. There is also a scar, one side of her neck. It is probable they may be now about Norfolk or Williamsburg. Any person who will secure both of the above negroes, so that I get them again, shall receive the above reward, or 30 dollars for either of them, and all reasonable expenses paid, provided they are delivered to me here.

Plffs. against John Fisher and Edward Fisher executors of Daniel Fisher, William Stark, James Dennison, Archibald Gracie, Mary Fisher, David Robertson and Richard Smith. This cause was this day partly heard on the bill, sundry exhibits, and the report of Commissioner Wilder, pursuant to the order of the 25th day of February last, with exceptions thereunto by the plaintiffs, but none on the part of the defendants. On consideration whereof the court confirming so much of the said report as states an account of the legacy due to Elizabeth Fisher, and of the Annuity to Jane Fisher two of the plaintiffs, doth adjudge, order & decree, that the defendant John Fisher pay to Elizabeth Fisher, daughter to Daniel Fisher, the elder, deceased, two thousand and thirty three pounds twelve shillings and six pence with interest at the rate of five per centum per annum, on one thousand two hundred and thirty two pounds ten shillings, from the first day of January one thousand eight hundred and nine until payment; and to the said Jane Fisher, another plaintiff, one hundred and ninety pounds with like interest on one hundred and fifty pounds from the same time, unless the said John Fisher, on or before the 10th day of the term next after he shall have been served with a copy of this decree shall, cause to the court, and as to the residue of the said report, the court doth receive it to Commissioner Wilder, with these instructions, to state specially the amount of the real and personal estate of the testator, including that which hath reverted by the death of the defendant Mary, and how the same hath been disposed of, to state likewise the amount of each debt due to, and from the said estate; and with respect to Mr. Randolph's debt, to state the original amount, how it was secured, what part hath been paid, how much remains due, and whether the security hath been changed and by whom; to state the advances made to the children of the Testator, by him in his lifetime after they were of age; and those which have been made since his death, and after making the several statements aforesaid, to present the same in one general account, showing the balance due to and by each legatee, and report the same to the court with any special matters deemed pertinent by himself, or required by the parties to be specially stated. And to enable the Commissioner to perform this order, he is authorised to examine any of the parties in solemn form, for which purpose they are ordered to attend the commissioner when by him required.  JOHN LE TELLIER—DENTIST —(Next door to Edmund Randolph's, near the Capitol,) has returned to Richmond, and will continue practice, in the different branches of his profession, i. e. in setting artificial teeth, in the most approved manner: in restoring natural ones, to their proper elegance, without injuring their enamel. He plugs the cavities of such as are decayed: likewise extracts those that are too far gone to be saved, in which operation, he makes use of Bruff's Patent Extracting Instruments, which takes the teeth out without any possibility of fracturing the jaw or bruising the gums, & with much less pain than the instruments that are in general use. He has DENTIFRICE, of a superior quality. July 28.

J. ROBINSON. Richmond, July 28.  EUROPE.  AUSTRIAN BULLETINS.  VIENNA, April 20.  The Court Gazette contains the following bulletins of the operations of our armies:  SECOND BULLETIN.  Head-Quarters of Oetting, April 12.  Agreeably to prescribed arrangements, the army advanced on the 11th, further towards the Viss and the Iser.  The weather was very bad, but the troops endured all the hardships of an uncommonly severe season, with the greatest cheerfulness.  On the 10th, at half-past ten in the morning, Field Marshal Delovich entered Pissau.  The enemy retired, but on the rapid advance of our troops, a French officer of Engineers and eight prisoners were taken.  A French General in the upper fort, escaped with difficulty. Prince Rosenberg, commander of the 14th corps of the army, summoned the fort to surrender, but this summons was, in compliance with the custom of war, answered by a refusal.  The true patriotic spirit of the inhabitants of Pissau was clearly demonstrated by the joy they displayed on entering the town. They immediately printed the Proclamation of his royal highness the Generalissimo to the German nation, and distributed two thousand copies to the people of the country. Thus the feeling of the German independence remains, and is cherished among them.  THIRD BULLETIN.  Head-Quarters at Vils Brang, April 15.  The army is collected on the Vils, and will to-morrow pass the Iser at Landshut at Dinglingen.  The enemy appears disposed to dispute the passage. The army is anxious to meet him and to come to blows.  Field Marshal Jellachich has, by this time, passed the Inn at Kosenheim and Wassenburgh, and advanced against Munich. An advanced post of the enemy has been taken at Hang; thirteen prisoners and seventeen horses fell into our hands. The enemy lost some killed and wounded; on our side we have only one hussar slightly wounded.  On the 9th, Field Marshal Chastellier, amidst the joyful acclamations of the faithful Tyrolese, entered the Tyrol at Leintz, thro' the Pasterthal, and on the 12th had already reached Brannek; the Salzburg Jagers, and some detachments of infantry, provided with snow and climbing irons, co-operate with him by the Zillerthal. Our patrols are pushed forward to Reichenhall, Lofer and St. Johann; the militia of Lofer has occupied the pass of Strub, one of the most important entrances from Salzburg into the Innthal. The Tyrolese are every where rising to arms and expelling the Bavarians, 1,500 of the latter took refuge in the fortress of Kasten, and are besieged there by the Tyrolese. A French officer had recently taken the command of that fortress; the Bavarians, however, begin to be tired of the French superiority and feel sensibly the deep degradation of their oppressed situation. Their disgust at the arrogance of the French officers, has, in several instances, produced acts of violence.  FOURTH BULLETIN.  Head-Quarters at Landshut, April 16.  This day the army advanced to the Iser. The fifth corps was in the front, and found the bridge at Landshut broken down. A division of from six to eight thousand Bavarians, under the command of General Deroy, defended the passage by force. The bridge was accordingly re-established under the fire of the enemy; the fifth corps crossed, and an action followed, which terminated by the retreat of the Bavarians. On both sides there were some killed and wounded, but our loss would have been still less, had it been possible to restrain the ardor of the troops.  Landshut is the capital of the Iser; we are in possession of a great part of Bavaria.  The General of cavalry, Count Bellegarde, broke up from Bohemia on the 10th, with the 1st corps of the army, by Tirschenreuth, and on the 12th, formed a junction at Warzenberg with the second corps of the army which had entered the Upper Palatinate by Ratisbon. Both corps took a position on the Naab, and their vanguards occupied the heights of Hirschau, in order to reach the road from Bayreuth to Amberg. Here an affair of advanced post placed with division of Friant, which was understood to be approaching in order to reach the Danube by a rapid march through Amberg. The consequence of the action was, that this division was driven back to Neumarkt, and our advanced posts occupied Amberg.  The brave Tyrolese have already killed or taken prisoners all the French and Bavarian soldiers in their territory. All the passes in the Upper Innthal, as the Zinderberg, the Sobarnus, Leutasco, Renti, &c. are occupied by the militia of the country.  On the 12th, one hundred and sixty men of the 11th Bavarian regiment of infantry, and one hundred and twenty five dragoons, with half a battery, were made prisoners at Insbruck.  On the 13th, forty nine French officers, 1,677 men, with 551 horses and two light battalions of Bavarians, with two pieces of cannon and a howitzer, surrendered at Wildan to the Tyrolese by capitulation.  To-morrow the army moves towards the Upper Danube. Hitherto we have fallen in with no French troops, though in the action of this day some of the French officers were taken among the Bavarians.  FIFTH BULLETIN.  Head-Quarters at Landshut, April 17.  According to the concurring reports of all the prisoners, as well as the inhabitants at Landshut, the French General Lefebvre has collected 12,000 Bavarians, from the neighborhood of Munich and Freysengen, with a view of stopping the passage of the Austrian army by Landshut. The approach to the bridges was extremely difficult. They were, besides, broken down, and the enemy's Tirailleurs, who had occupied all the houses  EUROPE.  AUSTRIAN BULLETINS.  VIENNA, April 20.

THE TENTH BULLETIN.
EBERSDORFF, May 23.
Opposite to Ebersdorff the Danube divides into three branches separated by two islands. The distance from the right bank to the island on that side, which is one hundred and forty toises in circumference, is about 1000 toises. The distance from this island to the greater is 100 toises, and here the stream runs with the greatest force. The larger of two islands is called Inder-Lobau, and the water which separates it from the main land is 70 toises broad. The first villages which appear after crossing are Gross Aspern, Essling and Enzersdorf. The passage of such a river as the Danube, in the presence of an enemy well acquainted with all the local circumstances, and who has inhabitants on his side, is one of the greatest military enterprises that can be imagined. The bridge over the arm of the river which separates the river banks from the first island, and the bridge from this island to that of Inder-Lobau, were erected on the 29th. Molitor's division had been conveyed to the great island on the 18th, by row boats.
On the 20th the Emperor arrived at Inder-Lobau, and caused a bridge to be thrown over the least arm of the Danube from that island to the left bank, between Gross Aspern and Essling. This arm being not quite seventy toises broad, only fifteen pontoons were required for that operation, which were fixed within three hours by Col. Aubry of the Artillery.
Colonel St. Croix, Aide de Camp of Marshal the Duke of Rivoli, arrived first on the left bank, in an open boat, with General Lasall's division of light cavalry, with Molitor and Boudet's divisions, passed during the night. Afterwards the Emperor, accompanied by the Prince of Neufchatel, the dukes of Rivoli and Montebello, examined the position of the left bank, and determined the field of battle, posting the right on the village of Essling, and the left on the village of Gross Aspern. Both villages were likewise garrisoned.
On the 21st, at four in the afternoon, the enemy's army showed itself, and appeared to have for its object to defeat our van guard, and to drive it into the river. Vain enterprise!
The Duke of Rivoli was the first attacked at Gross Aspern, by the corps of General Bellegarde. He manoeuvred with the divisions of Molitor and Legrand, and rendered completely abortive all the attacks which the enemy made that evening. The Duke of Montebello defended the village of Essling and Marshal the Duke of Istria covered the plain with the light cavalry, and Espagne's division of cuirassiers, protecting at the same time Ebersdorff—the contest was severe, the enemy having 200 pieces of cannon and 90,000 men, collected from the remains of all the Austrian corps.
D'Espagne's division of cuirassiers, which made several fine charges, advanced in two squares, and took 14 pieces of cannon, but a ball killed General D'Espagne while fighting gloriously at the head of his troops. He was a brave man, and in every respect eminent and praiseworthy. The general of Brigade Foulers was likewise killed in a charge.
General Nansouty arrived in the evening on the field of battle, with the single brigade commanded by General St. Germain, and distinguished himself by several brilliant charges. At eight o'clock the action terminated, and we remained masters of the field.
During the night, Gen. Oudinot's corps, St. Hillaire's division, and two brigades of light cavalry, and the train of artillery, passed over by the bridges.
On the 22nd the Duke of Rivoli was the first engaged at four in the morning. The enemy made several successive attacks, in order to retake the village. At last the Duke of Rivoli, tired of acting on the defensive, attacked the enemy in his turn, and threw them into confusion. General Legrand distinguished himself by the coolness and intrepidity which characterize him.
The general of division Boudet was stationed at the village of Essling, and had had orders to defend that important position.
Observing that the enemy occupied a very wide space between his right and left wing, it was resolved to penetrate by his centre. The Duke of Montebello led the attack: General Oudinot was on the left, St. Hillaire's division was in the centre, and Boudet's division was on the right wing. The enemy's centre could not withstand the sight of our troops—In a moment everything was borne down before them.
The Duke of Istria made several brilliant and successful attacks. Three columns of infantry were charged and cut down by the cuirassiers. The Austrian army was on the point of being destroyed, when, at seven in the morning, an Aid-de-Camp of the Emperor came to inform him that the sudden rise of the Danube had set afloat a great number of trees, which were cut down during the late events at Vienna, and rafts which had been left on the bank; and that the bridges which formed the communication between the right bank and the Little Island, and between the Little Island and that of Inder-Lobau, had thereby been carried away. This rapid swell, which usually does not take place until the middle of June, on the melting of the snow, has been accelerated by the great heat which has for some days prevailed. All the reserve parks of artillery which were advancing, were, by the loss of the bridges, detained on the right bank, as was also a part of our heavy cavalry, and the whole of the Duke of Auerstadt's corps. This dreadful accident induced the Emperor to put a stop to the movement in advance. He ordered the Duke of Montebello to keep the field of battle which had been won, and then to take his position with the left wing, resting on a curtain work which the Duke of Rivoli covered, and his right wing at Essling.
The artillery and infantry cartridges, which were in our reserve park, could not now be brought across the river. The enemy was in the most frightful state of disorder at the moment when he learned that our bridges were broken down. The slackening of our fire, and the concentrating movement of our army, soon left him no doubt respecting this unforeseen accident.
All his cannon & artillery equipage, which were before on the retreat, were again taken in line, and from nine in the morning to seven in the evening, he made most astonishing exertions, supported by the fire of two hundred pieces of cannon, to throw the French army into disorder—but all his efforts tended to his own disgrace. Thrice he attacked the villages of Essling and Gross Aspern, and thrice he filed them with his dead. The Fusiliers of the Guards, com-
manded by General Montton, acquired great glory; they defeated the reserve, formed of all the grenadiers of the Austrian army, and the only fresh troops which remained to the enemy. General Gros put to the sword 700 Hungarians, who had succeeded in entrenching themselves in the Church yard of Essling. The Tirailleurs under the command of General Curial performed their first service this day, and proved that they possessed courage. General Dorsenne, Col. Commandant of the Old Guard, posted his troops in the third line forming the brazier wall, which was alone capable of withstanding all the efforts of the Austrian army. The enemy discharged 40,000 cannon shot against us, while we, deprived of our reserve parties, were under the necessity of sparing our ammunition, lest some other unforeseen events should occur.
In the evening, the enemy returned to his old position, which he had left previous to commencement of the attack, and we remained masters of the field. His loss is very great; it being estimated by the most experienced officers, that he left more than 12,000 dead on the field. According to the reports of the prisoners, the enemy have had 23 Generals and 60 superior officers killed or wounded. Lieutenant Field Marshal Weber and 1,500 men and four standards, have fallen into our hands. Our loss has also been considerable. We have 1,160 killed and 3,000 wounded.
The Duke of Montebello was wounded by a cannon ball in the thigh, at six in the evening of the 22nd; but an amputation has been taken place, and his life is out of danger.
At first it was thought that he was killed, and being carried on a hand-barrow to where the emperor was, the adieu was most affecting. In the midst of all the anxieties of the day, the emperor gave himself up to the expression of that tender friendship which during so many years he has cherished for this brave companion in arms. Some tears rolled from his eyes, and turning to those who surrounded him, he said—"My heart required such a painful stroke as this, to make me occupy myself, on this day, with any other care than that of my army." The Duke of Montebello was insensible, but recovered himself in the presence of the emperor; he embraced him and said—"Within an hour you will have lost him who dies with the glory and the consolation of being your best friend."
The general of division, St. Hillaire, is also wounded. He is one of the first Generals of France. General Durosnel, Aide de Camp to the emperor, was also killed by a cannon ball, while he was carrying an order.
The soldiers displayed all that coolness and intrepidity which is peculiar to the French only.
The water of the Danube still increasing, the bridges of the Danube could not be restored during the night; the emperor therefore, ordered the army on the 23rd, to pass from the left bank across the little arm, and take position in the island of Inder-Lobau, protecting the Têtes du pont.
The works for replacing the bridges are continued with assiduity, and nothing will be undertaken until they are secure, not only against the accidents of the water, but against any thing that may be attempted against them. The rise of the river and the rapidity of the stream, must require much labor and great caution.
On the 23rd, when the army was informed that the emperor had ordered it to retreat to the Great Island, nothing could exceed the astonishment of the brave troops. Victorious on both days, they had supposed that the remainder of the army had joined them; but when they were told that the high water had carried away the bridges, and that its continued increase rendered the renewal of their ammunition and provisions impracticable, and that any movement in advance would be absurd, it was with great difficulty they could be persuaded of the truth of the statement.
That bridges constructed of the largest boats of the Danube, secured by double anchors and cables, should be carried away, was a great, and entirely unforeseen disaster; but it was extremely fortunate that the Emperor was not two hours later of being informed of it. The army in pursuing the enemy would have exhausted its ammunition, which it would have been impossible to replace.
On the 23rd a great quantity of ammunition was sent to the camp at Inder-Lobau. The battle of Essling, of which a circumstantial report shall be made, pointing out the brave men who distinguished themselves therein, will, in the eyes of posterity, be a new memorial of the glory and inflexible firmness of the French army.
The Marshals the dukes of Montebello and Rivoli on that day displayed all the powers of their military character.
The Emperor has given the command of the 2d Corps to general Count Oudinot, a General tried in a hundred battles, in which he has always evinced the possession of equal courage as skill.
NEW-YORK, July, 31.
ARRIVAL OF THE SYREN.
The U. S. brig Syren, capt. Gordon, arrived at this port on Saturday in 44 days from L'Orient, with dispatches from General Armstrong to the government of the United States, of which Mr. Coles (who went out in the Mentor) is the bearer. He was landed at Powles Hook, and proceeded immediately to Washington. The Syren left L'Orient, on the 18th June, the ship Mentor, waiting the orders of our minister at Paris.
All the important intelligence contained in the French papers we have received, has been anticipated.—The following trifling articles seem, however, not to have been noticed before:—
FROM THE BANKS OF THE DANUBE, 1st June.
A letter from Vienna mentions that their excellencies counts Champagny and Maret are now with the emperor; the former puts up at the capital of Vienna. The Austrian generals Prohaska, Auer and Koechel were conveyed on the 30th May to Munich, with 54 other Austrian officers, prisoners of war.
FRANKFORT, 5th June.
His Majesty the King of Westphalia has left Cassel to take command of the French army, which it is expected, has arrived at Erfurth.
SALTZBURG, 25th May.
Marshal Duke of Dantzig arrived here on the 25th from Innsbruck. Lieutenant general baron de Wrede arrived the next day with his division. In consequence of the insurrection in the Tyrol having been quelled, he is marching to Austria, where the division of the prince royal has already preceded him.
SAINT GALL, (SWITZERLAND).
28th May.
His excellency the minister of France, M. de Talleyrand, departed from hence the day before yesterday for Coire. His excellency intends going again to Schaffhausen, & assist at the opening of the diet.
PARIS, 18th June.
They write from Vienna that the garrison of that city is very numerous. The French troops in the environs have taken positions, which they expect every moment to quit in order to repair to such places as are already fixed upon. These positions extend from Haimburg four leagues west of Presburg, to Brugg on the Leitha, Getzersdorf, Wienerberg, Leobendorf, Guntramsdorf, Baden; and from thence by Petronastorf, Burkendorf, towards Klosterneuburg and Zeismarkt. It is said that a great number of troops have lately collected at Tulln;—perhaps it is intended to cross the Danube on that point. The divisions forming the corps of the army of the Duke of Rivoli (Massena) continue to occupy the 2 islands in the Danube between Ebersdorff & Embersdorff. We expect every day to hear of this river having been crossed anew.
JUNE 10
The commander of an English frigate on the 13th May, summoned the commandant of Rivoli (kingdom of Naples) to deliver him the merchant vessels (Barques) which he pretended were in the roads, or 8000 dollars in specie. Upon the refusal of the commandant and of the magistrates, the enemy's frigate began a cannonading and landed some troops, which were immediately repulsed; but the town has suffered much. The barques have been saved.
The Journal du Commerce of the 31th June notices the British new order in council of the 24th May, suspending the execution of the preceding order of the 25th April concerning the commerce of the U. S. with Holland, &c. without making any comment upon it.
The new 74 gun ship the Ulm, has been launched at Toulon 25th May.
The number of Austrian prisoners of war who passed through Turin during the month of May amounts to 3931. Among which are two colonels, one major and four officers; that of the English is 479, among whom are 25 officers. The Austrians are conveyed towards Lyons, and the English to Mount-Dauphin.
GOTTENBURG, (SWEDEN) May 26.
Six o'clock, P. M.
We have this moment received information that the Russians have positively broken the armistice, and have taken possession of the town of Tornea, and 700 men who garrisoned it. Their demands are said to be, that the Queen shall be appointed Regent during the minority of her son; that Finland shall be ceded, and that the Swedish proposition having been rejected, the cause of the re-commencement of hostilities.
May 29.
We have a report that 40,000 Russians are forcing their way into Sweden, the ice being still strong enough in the Gulf of Bothnia for the passage of heavy artillery. The official account of the Russians having entered Tornea, arrived this morning.
LONDON, June 12.
Accounts have been received from Buenos Ayres, brought by a vessel from Cadiz, announcing the total defeat and submission of Liniers to the patriotic party, who had established a Junta, proclaimed Ferdinand VII. and forced Liniers to sign a declaration that he would surrender the government on the arrival of the person appointed to succeed him. In the conflict we learn, that 15 of his adherents had been put to death.
NEW-YORK, August 1.
Extract of a letter from France, dated June 10.
"I think however that Bonaparte will take time to consider, and will not say a word until your standing with G. Britain is fully understood; of course he will receive any thing that may come in the mean time, but still under sequestration to increase the value of the pledge for your good conduct. A Schooner in St. Sebastian's, and a ship in Holland, arrived lately and were immediately seized; three or four other Americans in Tonnings are I believe in the same predicament. At all events you need not expect any thing very interesting from this quarter for a couple of months to come. We are too busy in Germany to think of you. I should not like to see our respective governments asunder, for it is very probable we can within twelve months shut you and the English effectually out of every port in the Continent, those of Turkey excepted. Georgia cotton 500 fcs. Louisiana 650 fcs. The sales of American cotton will however be much injured, by that now growing in the kingdom of Naples; last year 20,000 bales were raised there, judged superior to the Louisiana, and this year they talk of raising 200,000 bales."

CHARENTE, May 22, 1809.
DEAR SIR, Your agreeable favor of the 22d of March last, arrived safe to hand yesterday. I am sorry to inform you that Capt. Sisson left this long ago, his ship being seized by the Custom House Gentlemen of this place, upon a simple denunciation, that his ship had come from England—it was the cook (a black fellow) of the ship Holland Trader, Capt. Sinclair, who denounced her; Mr. Frederick Roerback after a very long and tedious sickness, departed this world (I hope for a better) the 14th of Nov. last; the ship is not yet condemned, but I am afraid she will share the same fate, as many others arrived here at the same time, viz.
Hero, Milliken, of Portland; Katty, Matthews, of N. York; Minerva, Jenkins, of Rochester; Amsterdam Packet, Sisson, of N. York; Canton, Latham, of do. Lexington, Gardner, of Baltimore; Neptune, Osgood, of Portland, condemned, to be sold the 9th of next month; Holland Trader, Sinclair, of N. York, do. do. William, Tucker, of Newburyport, do. 15th do. Two Brothers, Gardner, of New Bedford; Elhanan Keating, of Portland; Wareham, Chadwick, of New York; Plymouth, Folger, Salem.
I am sorry I cannot give you any better news. Captains Tucker and Jenkins are in prison at Rochefort, and Captain Chadwick shares the same fate at Rochelle, all the others are got off, thank God.
NEW-YORK, August 1
Extract of a letter from a well informed American Gentleman at L'Orient to the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser, dated 15th June.
"The Emperor received dispatches from
America only the day before the great battle of Essdorff; since which he has been occupied with matters of much greater personal concern, so that no answer has yet been given. In this battle (contrary to the advice of Lasnes, Massena, and the most eminent of his generals) the flower of the French army was engaged; and you are, by the time this reaches you, no doubt, well acquainted with the result. Letters from persons who were eye-witnesses state, that after the French army crossed the Danube, the Austrian army formed into a kind of half moon, with their flanks far extended, which induced the Emperor Napoleon to believe they must have weakened their centre. He therefore ordered Lasnes, and three or four other generals, to force their centre and beat them in detail. But this was not the case. The Austrians opened a fire of 200 pieces of cannon that had been masked behind the centre, and literally mowed down the French as with a scythe. It is supposed the loss of the French has been 30,000 prime troops; the Austrian bulletins say 48,000. Since that time we hear of no engagement. The great mass of the French people of all ranks, even those round the emperor's person, are extremely favorable to an honorable commercial intercourse with us."
BOSTON, July 31.
A letter received yesterday from Halifax, by the sloop Mayflower, in 7 days, contains the following information:—
London dates to the 16th June, have reached this place; they advise that Bonaparte's army had evacuated the Island in the Danube, and returned to the south side of that river, with severe loss. The Austrian official account of the battle of the 21st and 22nd May, as published at Stockholm, (Sweden) rates the French loss at 30,000. The Archduke Charles had addressed a proclamation to the army, in which he informs his troops, that he will divide, their forces, and by constantly harassing the enemy, prevent him at any time from attacking more than a small division. This is thought to be a wise plan, and better calculated to harass his numerous adversaries than trusting the choice to the chance of one important action. There are various reports of battles subsequent to the 22nd May. Prussia is said to be coming forward with 40 or 50,000 men; the Duke of Brunswick is also said to have raised his standard in Saxony and daily strengthening his party. Col. SCHILL is not dead, as reported; but on the contrary, has augmented his forces very considerably.
NEW-YORK, August 3.
LATEST FROM PORTUGAL.
The brig Orange, Capt. Hathaway, arrived at this port yesterday from Oporto, which place he left on the 28th of June.—Capt. H. informs us, that the British and Portuguese armies were at Brancos on the 24th June, in pursuit of the French army under gen. Victor. Marshal Soult's army was said to be in Spain, excepting 600 of his rear guard, and 30 pieces of cannon, which had been taken by the British army. On the 26th and 27th of June, 1800 French prisoners of war, were embarked at Oporto for England. The French were entirely driven out of Portugal.
LATEST FROM SPAIN.
On the 11th inst. arrived at Philadelphia the ship Bramin, Singleton, in 50 days from Cadiz; and brings Cadiz papers to the 7th June, Gibraltar papers to the 3d June, and Seville Gazettes to the 29th May. Captain Singleton states that the French were leaving Spain as fast as they could, the patriots being everywhere victorious.
On the 5th June, a British convoy arrived at Cadiz from Lisbon, to take on board 30,000 sheep a present from the Spanish Junta to the king of England.
The British orders in council of April 26, and the President's Proclamation dated April 19, were published in the Gibraltar papers.
A Cadiz extra Gazette of June 2, gives an account of great successes in Arragon. The inhabitants had risen in a body and cut off a small division of the French. After this a division of 1500, determined to revenge themselves on the inhabitants, marched to Monson, where they were met by Gen. Blake with an inferior force. He, however, completely repulsed them, and forced them to an inglorious retreat.
SEVILLE, May 29.
It is positive that the French army of Estramadura has left the banks of Guadiana, and proceeded to cross the Tagus at Alcantara. This town was attacked on the 14th inst. by a division from 10 to 12,000 men, supposed to have been commanded by Marshal Victor in person. The town was defended only by one battalion of the Loyal Lusitanian Legion and the Regiment of Milicia Idanha nova, with 6 pieces of ordnance, and fifty horse of the eleventh, the whole under the orders of Colonel Mayne of the said Loyal Legion, and making up rather less than 1800 men. This brave garrison, which had already opposed the enemy's progress in Brosas, where it has its out posts, succeeded in defending the bridge upwards of 6 hours and withdrawing to Rosmaninhal in the enemy's presence, and in spite of the great superiority of their cavalry. It is true, that it sustained some loss, but the whole of its artillery was saved. Major Grant of the same Legion entitled himself to the highest praise by his conduct in that action.
We have beaten Soult and his army entirely. His loss is 4000 men surrendered to us, with all his train of artillery. Soult was taken prisoner in a village of Galicia, a few hours after the surrender of his army. This is official. It is also true, that the mock king Joseph has left Madrid and fled to the Monastery of Labrador in Arranuez, and it is said had stripped that city of all its valuables.
Romana has beaten a division of Ney's army and taken Ferrol. The duke del Parque is in Salamanca with 15,000 men. Coronado alone remains in possession of the French.
State of the strength of the principal Spanish armies early in June.
Gen. Cuesta 44,000, in Estramadura Gen. Venegas 33,000, in La Mancha. Gen. Blake 50,000, in Arragon. Gen. Reading 40,000, in Catalonia. M. de Romana 47,000, in Galicia.
Extract of a letter from Montego Bay, Jam. of 20th June, to a Merchant in Boston.
"I have already apprized you of the new duties laid on vessels and cargoes of the U. States by the Assembly of this Island, and like-wise a new order in council. As the latter has more noise here, and difference of opinions prevails, I have enclosed you the editorial remarks on the St. Jago de la Vega Gazette. Some think both duties will be collected until the next session of the assembly, when those of his majesty will probably prevail, though others believe the assembly will endeavor to impose theirs under the idea that the former were not intended to be collected where the latter existed."
AMERICAN DUTIES AND TONNAGE.
On all American vessels per ton 6s 8d On every bbl. of wheat flour, not more than 136 lb. 6s 8d bbl. bread or biscuit not more than 100 lb. 3s 4d 100 lb of bread in any other package 3s 4d bbl. meal or flour, other than wheat 3s 4d bushef of peas, beans, rye, corn, calavances, &c. 0s 10 3/4 100 lb of rice 3s 4d 1000 common shingles, not more than 12 inches 3s 4d 1000 cypress do. above 12 inches 6s 8d 1200 red staves, 15s 0d 1200 white oak staves 15s 0d 1000 pieces of heading 15s 0d 1000 feet yellow or white pine boards or lumber 10s 0d 1000 feet pitch pine lumber 15s 0d 1000 wood hoops 5s 0d 6s 3d to the dollar.

Fish pays the same duties in U. S. vessels, that British ships obtain bounty, viz.—Cod or scalie fish, 2s sterling per quintal—Alewives, Menhaden, or Herrings, 1s 6d per bbl.—Mackerel 2s and Salmon 3s sterling per do.—These took place in Nov. 1808.
ST. JAGO DE LA VEGA.
Saturday, June 10.
An order in council was issued in the month of April last, permitting, for twelve months from its date, the importation of staves and lumber, horses and mules, asses, neat cattle, sheep, hogs, and every other species of live stock and live provisions, and also of every kind of provisions whatever (beef, pork and butter excepted) into the British West India colonies, in any ship or vessels belonging to the subjects of any state in amity with his majesty, according to the usual regulations; and then provides, that no such vessels shall, however, be permitted, after the first Nov. 1809, to import these provisions into any of the colonies in which there shall not be, at the time when such articles are brought for importation, a tonnage duty of not less than five shillings sterling per ton, on every such ship or vessel bringing the same; not to permit, after the first July, 1809, the importation of fish into any of the said colonies, in which there shall not be, at the time when such fish shall be brought for importation, a duty of not less than 1s sterling per quintal, or dried or salted, cod or herring, cured or salted, and a proportionate duty (e. barrel), on uncured or pickled cod, mackerel and salmon, so imported, and also a tonnage duty to the amount above mentioned per ton, on every ship or vessel bringing the same, according to the admeasurement of such ship or vessel.
In the above order, it is rather difficult to account for the reason that occasioned the different periods at which the duties are to take place; & although, in the first instance, the tonnage duty of 5s is not to be laid until the first Nov. yet it will undoubtedly affect all vessels carrying the above articles, who may also have fish on board, after the first July. We fear this may occasion great trouble and confusion in collecting the duties, and some difficulty will arise from the different modes in which duties on such vessels were laid by the late act of assembly.

The following is a copy of a letter to General Duncun in London from Charles James Stuart, alias George Francis Stuart, alias Count Stuart, Author of the Revolutionary Plutarch; the Female Revolutionary Plutarch; the life of Talleyrand, the Secret History of St. Cloud, &c. &c. It needs no comment. Nat. Int.
NEW-YORK, Jan. 20, 1809.
My Dear General, I am now thank, God, safe here, and may bid defiance to the infernality of English Jacobins. I shall endeavor to forget both their illiberality, falsehoods and plots, if they do not by new attacks raise me from my present apathy.
It will give you a pleasure to hear that my Secret History of St. Cloud has here even by the recommendation of Bonaparte's Consul-General Ray here, been generally read and has all the effect I desired in writing it. It has gone through three editions.
Moreau is expected here in some weeks, when I shall see him. Gen. Ray has also desired to make my acquaintance in private, but I have declined it until Moreau's return; tell me what you know of him. Every thing in his country bespeaks an approaching political storm. Government is despicable and despised and the people disaffected and sedition.
Bonaparte is certainly as much master at Washington as at Paris; and he commands obedience and tribute, as much in America as in Europe. Since the peace of Tilsit, Talleyrand's emissaries of both sexes and of all colors and ages swarm and plot here in scores.
I have not yet written any thing here, but should my friends in Europe approve of it, I shall set up an American Weekly Monitor and expose the views and crimes of revolutionary France. Loyal men are even more scarce here than in England, and their labors of course more necessary and useful; should you and my friend Mr. Fouché be disgusted with Europe, come here, and we may together do some good for loyal princes and civilized people. Living here in taverns or boarding houses is as dear as in England, but when settled you may buy a brace of pheasants for two shillings, a couple of fowls eighteen pence, meat four pence a pound, and fish still cheaper. House rent is dear and no private lodging, but in Inns can be had.
Should my plan of writing not be approved of, I shall retire either to Charleston or Quebec, and amuse myself with writings and my military annals.
Address your answer to me at Col. BARCLAY's the British consul general here—Remember me and my wife to Mrs. Duncun and your little family, whom we all should be happy to embrace once more; my wife supported well a tempestuous voyage of six weeks, is now in perfect health and spirits, only tormented by the numerous invitations of the gentry here, who are very civil and hospitable.
God bless you all,
Your ever truly,

green coat and half-boots; has a large seal to his chain, with a spiral coronet, and the letter S. engraved under; speaks very full and quick, with a Dutch or German accent; is continually mouthing out extravagant expressions of loyalty, and saying, that he is persecuted by Bonaparte and the French government.
Timothy Pickering —The leader of the "British party," in a letter to the Editor of the Salem Gazette, has endeavored to prove that he is not in league with England nor her emissaries; but his defence is so weak and the style so vulgarly that of a demagogue, that even the Editor of the Evening Post is ashamed to publish it—His being the leader of a party and a senator of the United States is our only excuse for its appearance in these columns.—N. Y. Pub. Adv.
TO THE EDITORS OF THE SALEM GAZETTE.
In the newspaper called the Boston Patriot, of the 22nd instant, the Editor, Mr. Everett, has introduced the following paragraph.
"COL. PICKERING." "A Report (to which some of our Public papers have currency) is abroad, of deepest concern to Col. P. The charge is too serious for his silence, or our repetition. His friends at Baltimore seem to be of the same opinion. We are not so much his enemies as not to wish, at least for the sake of our country, to see the integrity of Col. P. freed from that suspicion which must rest upon it, while this charge is suffered to circulate without notice. Whatever may be the opinion of his friend who appear in his behalf in the North American, it is presumed he will not, at this day, so far mistake the mood of the public mind as to suppose that a repetition of his charges against our rulers, will be received as a proof of his own innocence. We extract the following from the North American a month piece of the British faction in Baltimore."
Mr. Everett then inserts two paragraphs from the Baltimore North American, in which the Editor, Jacob Wagner, Esq. notices the "report" (as Everett calls the libel in the Baltimore Whig,) to which he has reference, and which Mr. Wagner ranks among the "profligate accusations made against me, and of which, he justly remarks, there is no end."
Mr. Everett affecting some concern for my reputation, attacked by the "profligate accusation" in the Whig, intimates a wish to see my integrity free from the suspicion which (he says,) must rest upon it, while this charge (as he calls that infamous slander) is suffered to circulate without notice. Thus under the mask of candor he raises and gives currency to a suspicion, that I have committed some crime of a nature so heinous that the charge is too serious for him to repeat. Yes, the charge is too serious for him to repeat. Yes, the charge is too serious for him to repeat. And at the same time, too monstrously absurd for him publicly to repeat. I do not find that one of the democratic news-paper editors in New-England, with all their profligacy, has yet had the hardihood to republish the libel. To hint (as Everett has done) the suspicion of a heinous crime, will better answer their purposes. Still further to aggravate suspicion, this candid editor adds, that "a repetition of my charges against our rulers, will not be received as proof of my own innocence;" as though I had ever exhibited any charges against rulers which were unsupported by evidence, and evidence generally drawn from their own public documents.
The libel in question, accuses me, thro' the agency of my nephew, Samuel Williams, in London, of forming an intrigue with the British minister, Mr. Canning, for the purpose of effecting a separation of the United States. This libel, which is FALSE, and without a shadow of foundation, and which, on the face of it, is stamped with imposture, Mr. Everett affects to consider as a serious charge. Mr. Wagner, in his remarks, calls it a slander and a profligate accusation. Those remarks would tend to repel all belief that the charge had any foundation. But to frustrate this tendency, Mr. Everett denounces the North American, as "a mouth-piece of the British faction." And who is Mr. Wagner, whose news-paper is thus denounced? The same person who was many years chief Clerk in the Department of State—whom Mr. Madison found and gladly retained in that office as long as he would hold it—I think five or six years. Yet Mr. Madison knew that Mr. Wagner was a decided, incorruptible, unchangeable federalist: that very stability of character was a pledge of his fidelity. Accordingly, Mr. Madison, some two or three years since, speaking to Mr. Hiltibone and me, of Mr. Wagner, commended him in very warm and handsome terms; summing up his character in these remarkable words: "In short, he is fit for Secretary of State."
And who is Mr. Everett, the editor of the Boston Patriot? An apostate federalist! While federalism was in fashion, he served under its banners, and zealously contributed federal pieces, which were published at Walpole, in New-Hampshire, (where he then lived,) in the distinguished federal paper called the Farmer's Museum, edited by Joseph Dennie, Esq. And now this turncoat, this apostate, Everett, has the impudence to set himself up as the grave censor of federal men and federal papers!
One word more as to his concern for my reputation.—By the gravity of his manner, in noticing the report which he pretends to think so seriously affects my character, he doubtless intended to point its malignity, that it might inflict the deeper wound. Yet that report, that "profligate accusation," is so monstrously absurd in its details, that it would be an impeachment of Mr. Everett's understanding, to suppose that he believed one word of it to be true.
T. PICKERING. Wenham, July 25, 1809.
PHILADELPHIA, August 3. Arrived below, this morning, brig Boston, from New Orleans, and ship Creole, Hobkirk, from Amsterdam, with passengers, in ballast. Left the Texel the 28th May, when the ports of Holland were strictly blockaded by the British, which prevented the Creole from bringing a cargo. Passengers, Mrs. Skipwith and family, Mr. B. Chew, of New Orleans, Mr. Clifford and Mr. Lynn of Philadelphia, Mr. Pardo of New York. Mr. Chew is the bearer of dispatches from Mr. Armstrong for our government.
Letters are in town from Gen. Armstrong, of 10th June, which make no mention of any intention on his part to leave France; and in which he speaks to a friend of some useful literary works which he means to send at a future time.
The emperor of the French was too much
of American diplomacy; and it must be obvious that there is no minister at Paris who has either power or authority to undertake new arrangements, or to make any change in the previous dispositions relative to commerce. It is very certain that before the emperor set out for the army, he was disposed to make dispositions which would have been favorable to the commerce of neutrals; and that the motive for not making the new arrangements at that moment was, that like Caesar's wife, he would not be even suspected. "It would be interpreted not as an act of use-ful policy, but as an act of submission to that nation of shopkeepers."
What operation the events of battle & the aspect of our own measures, contrasted with those of Britain, may produce, it is not very easy at this moment to anticipate; but the shutting of all the ports of Europe we make no doubt will be one momentous effect.

BALTIMORE, August 1. The assertion in the Federal Republican of Saturday, that the Secretary of state, or any member of the Administration was acquainted with Mr. Erskine's instructions at the time of the late negotiation, is not only FALSE, but base and infamous. We have it from the best authority, that neither the President, Secretary of State, nor any of the cabinet ever saw Mr. Erskine's instructions—that from the nature of his credentials they had no right to demand it—that Mr. Erskine did not think proper to exhibit them—and that he continues to the present moment to maintain that he did not exceed his instructions, notwithstanding the ex parte letter of Mr. Canning. The perjury of the British government appears in a glaring line. Mr. Canning's letter recently published, may be considered as the basis of Jackson to treat with us.... Baltimore American.
The Hon. Mr. Adams and suite will embark for Russia in a few days.
The exportation of gun powder, salt petre and ammunition, and any sort of arms, from Great Britain, is prohibited until the 5th of December next.
We understand that one of Mr. Gray's vessels is prepared to take out Mr. Adams and his family to Russia. A son of Colonel Smith's of New York (grandson to President Adams) goes as private secretary; and a son of Mr. Gray accompanies Mr. A. Capt. Benjamin Bickford, of Beverly commands the ship.
The amount of the notes of the bank of England in circulation on the 1st February last, was 17,539,000, of which nearly four and a half millions were for one and two pounds.
On Friday the 25th ult. the District Court of the United States closed its session in Boston. The following vessels, libelled for breach of the embargo laws, were decreed forfeit, viz.
Schooner Two Friends and cargo; ship Commerce, of Salem—schlr. Resolution, Plymouth—brig Hannah, Boston—schooner Fear and cargo—schooner Morning Star—brig Short Staple—sloop Caroline—schlr. Glyed and cargo; schlr. Hannah and cargo.
WASHINGTON, August 2. On Monday arrived in this City, Captain Coles, the bearer of dispatches from our Minister in France. He arrived at New York on Saturday last in the Syren, which sailed from L'Orient on the 18th June.
No change is understood to have taken place in our relations with France. The Mentor had not sailed when Mr. Coles left France, being detained to await the orders of Mr. Armstrong.
It is understood that the French losses in the Austrian war, and particularly in the engagement of the 21st and 22d May, have been very great; though from the French papers no such thing could be inferred, their contents consisting almost entirely of literary articles, appointments in the Legion of Honor, celebrations of birth-days and victories, and announcements of public spectacles.
Nat. Int.
RICH LAND—TO RENT. —On Wednesday, the 16th inst. will positively be rented to the highest bidder, at Powhatan court house, being court day, those three rich tracts of LAND in that county, belonging to the estate of the late Charles Logan, Esq. Two of the tracts lie on James River, and have Low-Grounds. One of them called Bell Mead, has a large quantity, and is sufficiently extensive to work 20 or 25 hands to advantage. The other is adjoining it, and has from 4 to 500 acres cleared Land on it. The third tract is about 5 miles from the river, and has about the same quantity of cleared land. They will be rented for from 1 to five years, as may best suit those inclined to rent. On that day they will certainly be rented, so that those inclined to rent, need fear no disappointment.
THE subscriber, residing in Richmond, having bought of Benjamin B. Bernard, a Patent Right to the state of Virginia, excepting five counties, Cumberland, Amelia, &c. which patent Bernard obtained from the President of the U. States, according to form, and which is for a new and useful Machine, fitted for threshing out many kinds of small grain, and universally patented after by the farmers in this state. Reference may be had to the original Patent, and the Schedule thereto annexed, bearing date the 13th day of November, in the year Nostris, Domini, 1807, for the term of fourteen years.
Those who may have had Machines built on the plan of said patent, since the above mentioned date, are requested to apply to the subscriber for licence, and pay for the same; otherwise, they will be dealt with according to law.
From this time, no person is allowed or will be allowed to build on the plan of the said patent, in this state, five counties excepted, without previous obtaining a licence for the same.
The subscriber offers for sale to any county or counties, section or sections in this state.

FOR SALE. —By virtue of a deed of trust, executed by Pleasant Youngblood, in his life time, and recorded in the General Court (September,) at the Eagle-Tavern, in the city of Richmond, four hundred and ninety-three acres of LAND, in the county of Henrico, being the tract of Land whereon Francis Lewis, dec'd. resided until his death, which Land was deeded to said Youngblood, by Moses Davis and wife. The deed was executed to the subscribers, to secure to Frederick Harris, the payment of two thousand eight hundred and sixty dollars, with interest from the 1st of March, 1809—it is mentioned in the deed, that the sale was to be made for ready money, but the deed is dated on the 23d March, 1808, therefore subject to the act of the last session of Assembly of Virginia, entitled "An act concerning executions & for other purposes."

RICHMOND, AUGUST 8, 1809.
RECAPITULATION
OF FACTS AND INFERENCES.
FACT 1st. —That the accredited agent of Great Britain did, on the 18th April, solemnly pledge the faith of his government, to take off her obnoxious orders of January and November, 1807, on condition that the United States would take off the restrictions to a commercial intercourse with her.
FACT 2d. —That in consequence of this pledge, the United States did rescind their Embargo laws, as respects Great Britain.
Our merchants have risked, on the high seas, nearly 1,800 of their vessels—and 50 or 60 millions of their property.
The pressure of the embargo on Great Britain is gone—her Islands are supplied with provisions and lumber, her manufacturers with materials, and her merchants with a market.
FACT 3d. —That at a time when all these good effects were secured to herself, the act of her minister was disavowed—all the benefits of the contract were lost to the United States—besides the immense calamity of having 1,800 of our vessels, and 50 millions of our property, laid open to her rapacity.
FACT 4th. —That if this engagement of their minister be not contrary to his instructions, the disavowal of it is one of the most profligate acts of perfidy, which stands on record since the days of ancient Carthage—whilst such acts would call upon the United States to arm, they would deserve the indignant execrations of the world—for "if honour is to desert the rest of the world," let it never abandon the bosoms of princes"—without which, words would be but wind, treaties would be parchment, the reciprocities of commerce could never be secured, and wars would be perpetual.
FACT 5th. —That the character, the situation, and the assurances of Mr. Erskine, are the pledges of his having fulfilled his instructions.
his character is that of a man of honor; his situation is that of a minister, who holds his office on the pleasure and suspicions of a party in opposition to his own; and his assurances, both at the first adjustment of the affair and after the receipt of subsequent dispatches, were ample and conclusive that he was "authorized" and was acting "in conformity to his majesty's instructions."
Whilst neither the character nor the measures of the ministry are any pledges of the contrary—whilst the configuration of Copenhagen and the orders of November are on record—whilst the affairs of England are conducted by such men as Canning, a jesuitical sophist, and "a joker of jokes"—Melville, a proven peculator—and Castlereagh, the unblushing advocate of parliamentary corruption.
FACT 6th. —That there are the strongest reasons for believing, that the instructions laid before the House of Commons, by Mr. Canning, were not the ones by which Mr. Erskine has acted:
because there was nearly a lapse of one month, from the date of these instructions, to the departure of Mr. Oakley: because these are entirely silent about the affair of the Chesapeake, which appears, from the first letter of Mr. Erskine to Mr. Smith, to have been the first point which he was instructed to bring forward:
because they are so directly contrary to the arrangement at Washington, that they could not have been him out in the assurances which he gave on that occasion, and which he afterwards repeated on the orders of the 26th April, in the most solemn, prompt and spontaneous manner.
FACT 7th. —That if these were the only instructions, they at least would show the proud and insolent presumption, which acquires the present ministry of Great Britain—the impossibility of coming to any fair agreement with such a band—and the necessity of resorting to some immediate & decisive steps for the vindication or protection of our rights.
that the 1st condition, which calls upon us to give security for our good behavior, in defence of our own rights too against the attacks of France:
the 2nd, which requires us to abandon one of the natural branches of our commerce, which the present President of the United States has so ably defended, the British cabinet itself in 1801 acknowledged, and which in 1806, all the leading merchants, as well as the senate of the United States, pledged themselves to protect:
and the 3d, which solicits the aid of the British navy to enforce our own laws—are derogatory to our honor as well as to our interests:
That the disavowal of Mr. Erskine's engagement, is the disavowal of all intention to do us justice—because it conferred no favors on us—but only recognized certain rights, which the United States might claim and demand.
FACT 8th. —That, even if Mr. Erskine has transgressed his instructions, his government has equally transgressed those peculiar duties, which grew out of such an event. They have neither acted up to their own principles, nor displayed that tenderness towards our merchants, of which they have made such sounding professions.—What was their duty? To replace us as nearly as possible in that situation, from which their minister had withdrawn us. Their orders of May 24th, permit only the vessels of the U. S. sailing before the 20th of July, direct, to enter the ports of Holland. This "concession" falls eminently short of our rights.
1. Because many of our vessels are bound to other ports than those of Holland. 2. Because these orders had not reached many of the ports of the U. States by the 20th of July—but vessels sailing from these, are liable to capture. 3. Because many of our vessels have gone to Cows or Cadiz, &c. "and for a market," which would have gone into Dutch ports, but for the orders of April.
FACT 9th. —That even the privileges of entering the ports of Holland will almost be rendered nugatory by the act or pretension of their "being actually blockaded." It is a fact, stated in the Philadelphia Gazette, that the ship Creole, which left the Texel on the 28th May, reports, that even at that time the ports of Holland were strictly blockaded by the British."
FACT 10th. —That the operation of the Orders of April was shifted from the 10th August to the 20th July—through the influence of 160 merchants and others—on the concentrated ground that the trade of the
Americans "militated against their interests"—thus proving in conjunction with previous facts, that it is not so much against an Enemy as a Rival, that G. B. points her artillery; that it is our trade which her merchants wish to possess, and our vessels which her navy wishes to plunder.
FACT 11th. —That should the U. States submit to the encroachments of Britain, our trade will take a new and disgraceful course—all our vessels, bound to the continent, will be lawful prize to the British; insurance on them will be dearer than a license; and our produce, will only be sent to British ports or sold to British agents, and smuggled into the continent for the benefit of British merchants. They will run off with the profits of our own cargoes, by carrying on that trade themselves from which they have interdicted us; and we shall sink into the humble colonists, factors, and tributaries of Great Britain.
FACT 12th. —That Francis James Jackson, the fugitive of Munich, and the negotiator of the robbery of the Danes, has been commissioned a Minister to the U. States—thus really adding insult to our injuries.
FACT 13th. —That the history of Britain fully verifies the maxim; that "submission never yet sat boundaries to encroachment"—that if we now submit to her exactions, no limits can be prescribed to her cupidity—who shall even presume to say, that Mr. Jackson will not hereafter be instructed to demand, that no commerce shall be carried on but to British ports—perhaps, that no produce shall be exported but in British bottoms—and that the Declaration of American Independence itself may be cast into the flames?—There are tories enough, even in this country, inclined to justify such requisitions.
Mark the consequences!
SHALL WE THEN SUBMIT?

MR. GERARDIN'S EXAMINATION.
No exhibition is more gratifying or better calculated to excite sensations of pleasure & delight, than a correct display of juvenile powers in the field of Literature. Scenes of this description, while they inspire the youth who are the actors, with an enthusiastic ardor to excel, impress those young minds who may be spectators, with a similar desire of advancing in the path of literary fame. Public examinations of youth in Seminaries of Art and Science ought therefore to be frequently repeated, and it were to be wished that all instructors would follow the example of Mr. Gerdardin in this respect.
The Students of the Academy on the first and second days of August, were examined in the different Latin and Greek Authors, which they had read during the last six months under the direction of Mr. Doyle, & in the various branches of Natural and Moral Philosophy, which they had studied under Mr. Gerdardin, as likewise in Geometry, Algebra, Geography and the French Language. The knowledge and information which they displayed in these several studies, reflected the highest honor on their own diligence and the Talents of their instructors. The system of education which Mr. Gerdardin pursues, is a happy medium between the antiquated pedantry of European Grammar schools and the Philosophy of modern Colleges. Indeed those young Gentlemen, whose Guardians have been so judicious, as to place them under the instruction of Mr. Gerdardin and Mr. Doyle, may well exclaim in the words of the Roman Satyrist:
Noluit in Plauti ludum me mittere; nam Quia parvi magnis e centurionibus ori, Laus sapient loculos tabulamque lacerat.
Dant octonis referentes Idibus ara; Sed puerum est ausus Romam portare, docendum.
On the third of August, Messrs. Selden, Madison, Monroe and Garnet delivered orations in the Capitol on the following subjects, 1st Eloquence, 2d Luxury, 3d Crimes and Punishments, 4th The advantages arising to society from a cultivation of the Arts and Sciences. The Audience that attended was genteel and numerous, and the manner in which they acquitted themselves, causes a hope to be indulged that the Capitol of Virginia on some future day will be the theatre, where the same powers will be successfully displayed in the support of the laws, the liberties and the rights of our country, unless the fate of Sybaris, so beautifully described by Horace in the 8th ode of his first book, should also prove to be the fortune of our young Orators.
The oration of Mr. Garnet displayed particularly a profoundness in reasoning, an extent of reading, and a power of imagination which few literary characters even of an advanced age have the happiness to possess. The following observations which he made on public education deserve the attention of every Legislature in the Union.
"The physical sciences, which are also highly important, have been too much neglected in our country. The mathematics are useful in almost every department of life. We are told that Plato placed an inscription over the door of his school, which expressly forbade that any one should enter the holy sanctuary who had not studied Geometry—Natural Philosophy and Natural History are sciences of the most extensive utility, and by the purposes we convert them to in trade, commerce, manufactures, medicine and domestic economy, they minister, in a thousand ways, to the convenience and comforts of life. No sciences are better calculated to give an expansion to the mind, to elevate it above the grovelling passions of ignorance, and to inspire man with a sublime and lofty conception of his own dignity and power—let me have a place to stand upon," exclaimed Archimedes, "and I will raise the globe." "Give me," said Descartes, "only motion and matter and I will produce a new world."
"In a complete system of instruction, which embraces every thing that was useful, the fine arts should also occupy a conspicuous department. It has been said that they approach too near to luxury and are inimical to republican principles; but this is a mistaken notion. They expand and liberalize the mind; they refine the feelings, harmonize the temper, and give a zest to the amusements of life, and the charms of social intercourse. The fine arts are held in the highest esteem by the ancients. Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch and Polybius, all represent the necessity of music in a state. In fact, the Grecians devoted to martial and gymnastic exercises, would have been absolutely brutal and ferocious, had not their temper been softened and harmonized by the cultivation of the fine arts. There can be no doubt that when the mind is provided with the refined and exquisite enjoyments which
the fine arts afford, it will be less disposed to seek for those gross corporeal gratifications, whose pernicious and demoralizing influence is so fatal to the happiness of society. As a source of pure and refined enjoyments, says a respectable authority "and especially as a preservative of innocence, a taste for the sublime and varied scenery of nature and the most agreeable productions of art, should be encouraged in youth"—They, who by the early cultivation of such a taste acquire as it were, new organs, and a new range of pleasurable sensations, will never seek for happiness amid the tumultuous scenes of dissipation and folly.
"A proposition for the establishment of a national institution, which should embrace these several departments of education, and combine the two general objects of instruction and research, has been already made by our countryman Barlow. The plan, as developed in his prospectus, cannot fail to meet with the cordial approbation of every friend to science and every boon of his country. It is needless to expatiate upon the numerous and extensive advantages which would result from an institution of this nature. Every one must be sensible of them. It is to be regretted, however, that the proposition has not met with the success which it deserves, and that our government has manifested such lukewarmness in every thing that relates to education. Can it be alleged that we are too poor for so extensive an institution?—Would not a moderate tax in the course of a few years accumulate a sufficient fund for the establishment of the institution that has been proposed? Nothing can be more easy if we depart from the penurious system of policy we have pursued, than to carry such a plan into effect."
That these sentiments of Mr. Garnet may make an impress on our legislators, is the sincere wish of
A CITIZEN OF THE WORLD.
For some days, a report has been in circulation, that a mercantile house in this city, had received a letter from England, stating that Mr. Jackson had been countermanded.—But there is no such good news. We have traced as the only possible ground of such a report, that a letter has been received to the effect, that one of the Dispatch-Vessels had been detained, in consequence of the arrival of a packet.
Gen. TURREAU, the French Minister, arrived in Washington on Wednesday.—The President of the U. S. has not yet arrived.
This paper takes up the American Bulletin .—The 10th French Bulletin, which details the battle of Ecking, is now given in full. A more interesting paper has not lately been published.

POLITICAL.
AMERICAN PRINCIPLES.
A REVIEW OF WORKS OF FISHER AMES; COMPILED BY A NUMBER OF HIS FRIENDS. By JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
No. 1. In that strange medley of wit and weakness; of reason and doteage; of benevolence and ran-
Mr. Ames was a man of genius and of virtue - he meant well to his country, and served her with fidelity according to his best judgment.
Mr. Ames was not among the first who dis- cerned the real character and tendencies of the French revolution - and when he did discover that it was not the introductory avenue to the millennium, he still continued to view it through a partial medium.
During the last 10 years of his life, Mr. Ames's health was always in a precarious, and often in an alarming condition. His spirits partook of his infirmities.
The following are a very few out of a great number of such sentiments. If any of Mr. Ames's number of friends are prepared to defend them, let them be heard.
"Our country is too big for union; too sordid for patriotism; too democratic for liberty." Letter of the 26th Oct. 1803 - p. 483.
"Yet I see, that the multitude are told, and it is plain they are told, because they will believe it, that liberty will be a gainer by the purchase [of Louisiana]. They are deceived on their weak side; they think the purchase a great bargain."
"Louisiana excites less interest than our thanksgiving. It is an old story. I am half of Talleyrand's opinion, when he says we are pith- matic, and without any passion except that for money-getting." 29th Nov. 1803 - p. 487.
"Suppose an attack on property, I calculate on the 'sensibilities' of our nation. There is a sensorium. Like a negro's skin, there are pa- tions - sm would feel the kicks, and twinge with a- gonies that we should not be able so much as to conceive, if we only have our faces spit in." Same letter - p. 48.
"It is one of the most consuming causes of Hel- lers - AND WE DESERVE IT - to corrupt the af- fairs of a nation to rulers, who find in their pop- ularity, their rapacity, or their ambition, an inter- est separate from the interest of the people." 27th Nov. 1803 - p. 496.
"As great geniuses snatch the sceptre from the hands of great little rascals, the government rises, though liberty rises no more. Ours is gone never to return. To mitigate a Tyranny is all that is left for our hopes." 29th Nov. 1803 - Thanksgiv- ing evening.
"I have hoped that the sacred shield of cowar- dice, as Junius calls it, would protect our peace. I still hope." 1st Feb. 1806.
"A fate seems to sweep the prostrate world along, that is not to be averted by submission, nor retarded by arms. The British navy stands like Briareus, parrying the thunderbolts, but can hurl none back again; and if Bonaparte effects his conquest of the dry land, the empire of the sea must in the end belong to him." 14th Feb. 1806 - p. 506.
"Two obstacles, and only two, impede the es- tablishment of universal monarchy - Russia and the British navy." Same letter - p. 503.
"After her fall, ours would not cost Bonaparte a blow. We are prostrate already, and of all men on earth, the fittest to be slaves. Even our darling avarice would not make a weal's resistance to tribute, if the name were disguised; and I much doubt whether if France were lord of the navies of Europe, we should resist at that, or even at

the appellation and condition of Helots." Same letter - p. 510.
"They [the administration] need not fear the moral sense, or sense of honor, or any other sense of our people, except their nonsense, which they will take special good care to keep on their side." 10th March, 1806 - p. 518.
"It is the nature of these [white birch stakes] to fail in two years; and a REPUBLIC wears out its morals almost as soon as the sap of a white birch rots the wood." 12th January, 1807 - p. 514.
"Of our six millions of people, there are scarcely six hundred, who yet look for liberty any where except on paper." 6th November, 1807 - p. 518.
Americans! Federalists! are these sentiments true? Are you that stupid - that infamous herd which you are here represented to be? - No. Nor could it possibly be the calm and dispassion- ate judgment of the writer that you were. These ideas were part of his disease - he was himself sensible that they were not fit for public inspec- tion - his memory ought not to be charged with the detestation which such sentiments ought to draw upon those, who, in full possession of the most moderate understanding, could deliberately en- tertain them. - It is not the Saint of the Calendar - but the fraudulent monk at his shrine, who at- tempts to pass off the pairings of his nalls for re- lics of inestimable price.
We are sensible, that this inexpressible con- tempt for the whole American nation, and this fanatical idolatry of Britain, and this delinious dream of Bonaparte's coming in a shape of a ty- ger to eat up our children, have all become stand- ing articles of faith in the Junto creed. I have heard it said, that when His Most Gracious Ma- jesty was under the discipline of Dr. Willis, he fancied himself a fox, and that he was hunted by Gen. Washington. The nineteen-twentieths men - the "scarcely six hundred out of the six mil- lions," who are sincere in these night-mare vi- sions, have brains less modest in their confusion than those of the great king. He humbly con- ceived himself turned into a cunning and coward- ly beast, whose hunter was a hero. They, for- sooth dream, not that they themselves, but that all their neighbors and countrymen are transfor- med into hares, to be hunted by a tiger; and that in the chase, the tiger's raven will not spare even them, the salt of the earth, the heroic would-be savors of their base and servile countrymen. It is a melancholy contemplation of human nature, to see a mind so richly gifted, and so highly cul- tivated as that of Mr. Ames, soured and exaspe- rated into the very ravings of a bedlamite.
What bitter pangs must have humbled genius feel, in their last hours, to see a Swift or Steele?
But the apology that is due for him, is not e- qually the right of others. There are those, who without believing a word of this absurd and in- consistent political creed, are yet as eager for its propagation as he was - verily they expect their reward. If they can frighten the whole people into a madness, like that of the royal fox - if they can fill the brains of the nation, with a fancy that we have all been transformed into the vilest of the brute creation, save only the elite spirits, a- mounting to, at most, six hundred; the next step follows of course - The porcelain must rule over the earthen ware - the blind and sordid multi- tude must put themselves, bound hand & foot, into the custody of the lynx-eyed select - the souls of the six hundred; and then all together must go and squat for protection under the hundred hands of the British Briareus. Then, indeed, we may rely upon it, our country will be neither "too big for union," nor "too democratic for liberty."
To this volume is prefixed an elegant and in- genious biographical account of the author, writ- ten in a style of moderation, which we cannot but contrast with the violence and intemperance of the late papers in the volume itself. The learned biographer appears on more than one oc- casion embarrassed with the rantings of his sub- ject, and cools with a feather dip in oil of the burn- ing metal of his text. He tells us that Mr. Ames was emphatically a republican - but that he considered a republic and a democracy as essen- tially distinct and opposite. Probably this was the state of his opinions at one period of his life - but in his latter days, when the English fascina- tions and the French antipathies had obtained their uncontrolled ascendancy over his mind, he appears to have had as little esteem for a repub- lican government as for the American people. It is not to a democracy, but to a republic, that he compares the essential rotteness of the white birch stakes, in one of the above extracts. In short, he was too thoroughly Britonized to pre- serve a relish for anything republican; and in the paper last published before his decease, con- tained in this volume, he says in express terms, that "the immortal spirit of the white nymph li- berty, dwells only in the British oak."
The proposition once made in Congress, to declare the American nation "the most enlight- ened people upon the globe," has been ridiculed quite as much as it deserved. If by the term enlightened, were to be understood merely the degree of proficiency attained by a few individu- als in the arts and sciences, we certainly can have no pretensions to a competition with most of the European nations - but if it were meant only to express the amount of mental cultivation gene- rally possessed by the body of the people, I be- lieve it was strictly true. It would be difficult at least to name the people in Europe, the great mass of whom possess so much of that know- ledge, which is power, as the people of the U. S. If, however, there was something of national vanity manifested in the sentiment, it was at least an innocent error - but I could never perceive either the wisdom or the virtue of proclaiming the assuredly false doctrine, that the people of America are the best and most degraded of the human species. It is one of those scandalous calumnies which a number of starving vagabonds in England, with Cobett's Register, and Moore, the minstrel of the brothers, have been for some years administering to the malignant pas- sions of that country; but from the lips of an A- merican, it is as little the voice of patriotism as of truth. The language of insult and outrage ap- plied to the people, is no better than the language of adulation. If a tenth part of those horrible re- proaches upon the whole people poured forth in the extracts I have here given, and repeated un- der a thousand shapes in this volume, were true, the country would not be fit for the residence of a man who had a spark of honor in his composi- tion. He would fly from it as from a land of Ya- hooes - the very pretence of anxiety for the fate of such a country, is worse than absurd. - A man, who on the Thanksgiving evening of the year 1803, could deliberately sit down and write that our liberty was gone, never to return, and that to mitigate a tyranny was all that was left for our hopes - a man who could believe that our country was too sordid for patriotism - that we had nothing but the sacred shield of cowardice to pro- tect us - that we were of all men on earth the fittest to be slaves; comes with a very ill grace, when he tells us how much he loves and respects that very country - and how his heart is bursting with anxiety for the welfare of these dregs of creation. I reverence the virtues and the genius of Mr. Ames; but I know that in penning those billingsgate invectives against his country, he could not be in possession of a sound mind; and I submit it to the feelings of every generous spi- rit, whether genuine friendship should not rather have been solicitous to shroud these infirmities from the public eye, than with such remorseless hand to drag them into day.
