TWENTY-FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE ARMY.
WOLKERSDORF, 8th July.
Passage of the arm of the Danube to the Island of Lobau.
On the 4th at 10 in the evening general Oudinot embarked 1500 of gen. Couroux's voltigeurs on the great arm of the Danube. Col. Bastie with ten gun boats carried them out and landed them beyond the confluence of the lesser arm of the Island of Lobau in the Danube. The batteries of the enemy were soon silenced and he was pursued from the wood to the village of Muhlet.
At 11 o'clock in the evening the batteries planted against Enzersdorf received orders to begin to fire. The Howitzers reduced this unfortunate small city to ashes, and in less than half an hour the enemies' batteries were silenced.
At 2 o'clock after midnight, the army had [the figure is illegible] bridges, and the left wing debouched under the protection of the batteries 1500 toises below Enzersdorf, and the right of Witten. The corps of the Duke of Rivoli (Massena) composed the right wing, that of Oudinot the center, and Auerstadt's (Davoust) the left wing. The corps of the Duke of Ponte Corvo (Bernadotte) of the Vice Roy, and of Ragusa (Marmont) the guard of cuirassiers composed the second line and the reserve. The great darkness, a heavy storm and a rain which poured into the streams rendered the night as dreadful as it was favorable to the French army, and as it was eventful.
On the 5th at the earliest dawn, every man perceived the emperor's plan, who was now with his army in order of battle at the furthest extremity of the enemy's left wing, had turned all his intrenchments, rendered all his works useless, and had compelled the Austrians to move out of their posts and to give him battle upon ground which was advantageous. This great problem was accomplished, and without passing the Danube any where else, without even any support from the works, the enemy was obliged to fight three quarters of a league from his re-doubts. Now was anticipated the greatest & most happy result.
At 8 in the morning, the batteries which played upon Enzersdorf, had produced such an effect that the enemy was fain to take possession of it with 4 battalions. The duke of Rivoli ordered his first Aid-de-Camp St. Croix to march against it, of which he possessed himself without much opposition and captured every thing in it.
Count Oudinot surrounded the Fortress of Sachsenhang, which the enemy had garrisoned, compelled 900 men which defended it to surrender and took 12 pieces of cannon. Now the emperor ordered his whole army to display upon the immense plain of Enzersdorf.
Meanwhile, the enemy who had committed an error in his plans, recovered from his astonishment, and endeavored to command some advantages on the new field of battle. For this purpose he detached many columns of infantry, a great number of artillery and all his cavalry, as well of the line as new levies, in order if possible to outflank the right wing of the French army. Wherefore he took possession of the village of Rutzendorf. The emperor ordered Count Oudinot not to take this village, & ordered the duke of Auerstadt to pass on the right of it, and direct himself against the head quarters of the Archduke Charles, as he was continuing to march from the right to the left.
From noon till nine o'clock in the evening we manoeuvred in this vast plain. We took all the villages, and as we approached the heights of their entrenched posts, they retired from them as though through magic. The Duke of Rivoli caused them to be taken possession of without opposition. In this manner we got into our power, the works of Essling and Gross Aspern, and thus the 40 days work of the enemy was rendered totally useless to him. At Raschdorf, which the duke of Ponte Corvo caused to be attacked and taken, he met with some opposition. The enemy was everywhere put to flight and annihilated by the superiority of our fire. The immense field of battle remained covered with his fragments.
BATTLE OF WAGRAM.
Greatly dismayed by the progress of the French army, and its great results occasioned almost without an effort, the enemy ordered all his troops to march, and in the evening took the following position: His right wing extended from Stadion to Gernsdorf, his center from Gernsdorf to Wagram, and his left wing from Wagram to Neustadel. The left wing of the French army was at Great Aspern, its center at Raschdorf, and its right at Glinzendorf. In this order both came on, and we prepared for a great battle the next morning. The position of the enemy was reconnoitred throughout, in order to hinder him to adopt any system, after we should take possession of the village of Wagram in the night. In that case his line already extended, precarious, and suffering by a change of camp, must have suffered the different corps to be mixed without order or object, and the affair would soon be terminated without any serious conflict. Wagram was attacked, our troops took the village; but a Saxony column and a French column in the dark took each other for enemies, and the operation miscarried.
Already we were preparing for the battle of Wagram. It appears that the dispositions of the French and Austrian generals were opposed to each other.
The emperor employed the whole night to draw together his force in the center, where he was personally within cannon shot of Wagram. For this purpose the duke of Rivoli marched to the left of Aderklaa and left a single division at Aspern, which had orders in case of necessity to retreat to the Island of Lobau. The duke of Auerstadt had orders to advance beyond the village of Grossholz, in order to approach the center. The Austrian general in the mean time weakened his center, in order to occupy and strengthen his wings, to which he gave an additional extent.
On the 6th at day break the Duke of Ponte Corvo occupied the left wing. In his second line was the Duke of Rivoli. The Vice king closed in the center, where the corps of count Oudinot, that of the Duke of Ragusa, the corps of the Imperial guard, and the division of Cuirassiers formed 7 or 8 lines. The Duke of Auerstadt marched from the right wing to reach the center. The enemy on the other hand placed the corps of Bellegarde at Radlan in Marsh; the corps Colowrath, Lichtenstein and Muller united with the right wing in position of Wagram, where the Prince of Hohenzollern was, and at the end of the left wing at Neustadel, where the corps of Rosenberg and Auerberg debouched, and by a curved movement at the early dawn fell upon each other and gave the signal for battle.
The Emperor equally commenced at this period, ordered the Duke of Auerstadt to be reinforced by the division of Cuirassiers of the duke of Padua, and the corps of Rosenberg to be taken in flank by a battery of 12 pieces of the division of Gen. count Nansouty. In less than three quarters of an hour the fine corps of Auerstadt had defeated the corps of Rosenberg and pursued it beyond Neustadel, and did it great injury.
Meanwhile the cannonade became general through the whole line, and the disposition of the enemy disclosed itself every moment. His whole left wing was lined with artillery. It might be said, that the Austrian General prepared not to obtain a victory, but that he had in view only the means of taking advantage of it. This disposition seemed so unskilful, that a defeat was anticipated, and the emperor waited some time before he ordered the small disposition which was necessary, to frustrate that of the enemy and to render it a misfortune to him.
He ordered the duke of Rivoli to attack a village which the enemy occupied, and by which the center of the army was a little galled. He ordered the duke of Auerstadt, to take the position of Neustadel & thence to advance to Wagram, and ordered the Duke of Ragusa, and general MacDonald to form in columns to seize upon Wagram the moment the duke of Auerstadt debouched.
After these occurrences, we were informed that the enemy made a desperate assault upon the village which the Duke of Rivoli had taken; our left wing was surrounded at 3000 toises; a violent cannonade was already heard at Gross Aspern; and the whole interval between Gross Aspern and Wagram was occupied by an immense line of Artillery. No doubt was left about it.
The emperor in this situation, ordered general MacDonald to form the divisions of Broussier and Lamarque into columns for the attack. He ordered them to be supported by the divisions of gen. Nansouty, the horse-guards and forty detachments of different corps. Gen. Count Lauriston marched at the head of his battery of 100 pieces of artillery against the enemy, approached him without firing, till he came within half cannon shot and then commenced an astonishing fire, whereby slaughter and death were carried into the enemy's ranks. The general of division Reille supported with the brigade of fusiliers and tirailleurs the guard of gen. MacDonald. The guard altered its front to render the attack infallible. In a moment the centre of the enemy lost a league of ground. His astonished wing marked the danger of the situation in which it was and in great haste moved back. Now the Duke of Rivoli attacked him during the flight of the right wing, and the movement forced the right wing. Neustadel was taken from his left wing, by the Duke of Auerstadt, who ascended the hill and marched against Wagram, attacked and surrounded it. The divisions of Broussier and Gubin covered themselves with glory.
It was now 10 o'clock in the morning, and intelligent men saw that the day was decided, and that victory was on our side. At noon, Count Oudinot marched against Wagram, to support the attack of the Duke of Auerstadt. He succeeded, and he got possession of this important station. From 10 o'clock, the enemy thought of nothing but his retreat. Since noon, this was plainly going on and in disorder, and long before night came on, the enemy was out of sight. Our left wing stood at Jeteisee and at Ebersdorf; our center near Ebersdorf, and the cavalry of our right wing was extended, their posts at Schoenkirchen.
On the 7th, at day break, the army was in motion, and marched against Kornneuberg and Walkersdorf, and took post at Nicholsburg. The enemy, cut off from Hungary and Mahrren, found itself on the side of Bohemia, driven into a straight.
Such is the representation of the battle of Wagram, the distinguished and ever glorious battle, where from 3 to 400,000 men, with from 12 to 1,500 cannon, fought for a great interest, on a field which, by the enemy, was studied and fortified for several months. Ten standards, 40 cannon, 20,000 prisoners, among whom are from 3 to 400 officers, and among whom are a considerable number of Generals, Colonels and Majors, are the trophies of this victory. The fields of battle are covered with dead bodies, among whom were found the bodies of several Generals, and among the rest, that of Mr. Normann, a Frenchman and traitor to his country, who prostituted his talents against it. All the wounded of the enemy have fallen into our hands. Those whom he was able to carry off at the beginning of the battle, were found in the environs of the village. We may compute, that the result of this battle cost the Austrian army in all, about 60,000 men, our loss is estimated at 15,000 dead and 3 or 4,000 wounded.
At the moment when the Duke of Istria was ordering the attack of the cavalry, his horse was killed by a cannon ball. The shot struck the saddle and occasioned him a slight contusion of the thigh. The General of division Lasalle, was killed by a musket ball. He was an officer of great merit and one of the best Generals of light horse.
The Bavarian General Von Wrede and the Generals Pervas, Grenier, Vignolle, Sachuc and Defrance were wounded. Colonel Prince Aldobrandini was struck on the arm by a musket ball. The Majors of Chasseurs of the guard, Dausmenil, and Corbineau and Col. St. Croix, were also wounded. The Adjutant-Commandant Duprat was killed. The Col. of the 9th regiment of infantry of the line, remained on the field of battle. This regiment covered itself with glory. The general staff is making out a statement of our loss.
A singular circumstance in this great battle, is, that the columns, which lay nearest to Vienna, were not 200 toises distant from it. The numerous population covered the towers, roofs and heights, to witness this great spectacle.
The Emperor of Austria quitted Wolkersdorf on the 6th, at 5 in the morning, and ascended a Belvedere, whence he saw the field of battle, and remained till noon, when he scampered away at full speed.
The French head quarters arrived on the 7th, in the morning, at Wolkersdorf.
[In the beginning of the bulletin, remarks are made on the positions of the armies. The Austrians were in all, stated at 200,000 men, and their artillery, at from 8 to 900 field pieces.]

MANHEIM, July 14th.
The 5th and 6th inst. are famous in the history of the present war. The emperor Napoleon, on the 5th, crossed the Danube with his numerous army, the 6th began the most memorable battle that was ever fought. It was near Neusideln that the French army obtained a complete victory.
According to news from Muhlach, a courier had arrived the 9th July, announcing 30,000 prisoners being already taken. Letters from Carlsruhe, state the number of prisoners taken on the 5th and 6th July, to be 40,000. The seventh, the remains of the Austrian army was pursued: Other letters to the 7th, state the number of dead and wounded to be 30,000—the Bavarian & Saxon troops covered themselves with glory.
LINTZ, July 8th.
The victory is now decided, the fourth Corps has just arrived & brings us this important news.
The Archduke Charles is mortally wounded; the Archduke Lewis is also wounded—16 generals killed and wounded or made prisoners, upwards of 30,000 men shared the same fate—100 cannons were taken. In the beginning of the battle, the right wing of the enemy was driven out of its batteries, the centre was next forced. The retreat of the enemy towards Hungary, is cut off. The slaughter was dreadful; the field of battle is covered with dead and wounded. The enemy is closely pursued. The great drama will be finished in the course of this month.
They write from Mahrren, dated 9th July, that the manoeuvres made by Napoleon, on the 6th of July, were more like exercise on a parading day, than those for a battle.
WOLKERSDORF, July 7.
After the battle of Wagram, the enemy's army fled in great confusion, and is pursued in every direction. Our van-guard is at two leagues from Nicolsburg. His majesty's head-quarters are at Wolkersdorf, precisely at the same place where the emperor of Austria was the night before. This unfortunate prince, looked from the mountain Hebersbrunn, at the battle, and as soon as he perceived it to be lost, went back to Brunn.
The inhabitants state the amount of wounded and dead to be enormous.
This army which amounted to 200,000, is reduced to about 45,000. The amount of their dead is stated to be about 45 to 50,000. The dead bodies of 20 generals have been found on the field of battle.
POSEN, July 15.
Prince Poniatowski has established in Galicia, the imperial Eagle in honour of Napoleon the great.
Taken from the Copenhagen Gazette, of the 21st July.
The last news received from the Austrians themselves, attest their defeat.
The following letter has been forwarded from Machren, dated 9th July.
"On the 5th, the French made a violent attack on the left wing of the Austrians. The city of Enzersdorf was consumed in the evening of the 4th. On the 5th, early at Morgen, the French crossed the Danube with 36,000 men, near Fischamend. While the Austrian right wing resisted the French army, the left wing was falling back, fighting. The 6th, the attack was renewed with the left wing, which was in a short time overpowered. The Austrian army was obliged to retire to Bismaberg. By the crossing the Danube by Fischamend, the division of the archduke John was cut off, and was unable to assist the left wing of the main army."
News from the French head-quarters mention, that about 40,000 prisoners and 100 pair of cannon have been taken. The loss of the French is not known, but according to the positions the Austrian army had, and the way they fought, the enemy's loss must be enormous. Though it is related, as a fact, that more than fifty thousand French soldiers have not had the least share in the battle.
The Austrian field marshal lieutenant D'Aspre and gen. Normann, have been killed in the battle of the 5th and 6th: 13 generals besides, are said to be wounded or killed.
BALTIMORE, Sep. 11.
Today we give the 24th bulletin and other selections from our German and Danish interesting newspapers. Details from the armies from the 1st to the evening of the 6th July, together with the 23d bulletin, shall be given to-morrow.

TWENTY-FOURTH BULLETIN.
VIENNA, 4th July.
General Broussier had left in the city of Graetz two battalions of the 84th regiment of the line, and marched to Wildau, in order to make a junction with the army in Dalmatia; the 26th July the general Giulay appeared before the city of Graetz with 10,000 men. The 84th regiment were cantoned in one of the suburbs of the city and repelled all the attacks of the enemy, overthrew it in every direction, took 500 prisoners and 2 standards; maintained their position for 14 hours, and gave, by that means, time to general Broussier to come to their assistance; this battle in which the enemy were ten to one against us, has covered the 84th regiment and their commandant with glory. The standards were presented to his I. and R. Majesty. Napoleon, on the parade ground. We have to regret the death of 20 men and 92 wounded.
On the 30th June, the duke of Auerstadt ordered an island that lies close to the left bank of the Danube, on which the enemy had collected some troops, to be attacked. The gen. Gubin, conducted the affair with great precision, and colonel Deconz, at the head of the 21st regiment of infantry belonging to the line, performed the operation. At 2 A. M. this regiment passed over to the island, a part by swimming, and a part in boats; put 1500 men to rout, made 250 prisoners; amongst these are the col. of the regiment of St. Julian, and several officers. Five pieces of cannon which had been brought on the island, to its defence, were taken.
But no Danube exists any longer for the enemy. The general count Bertrand, according to the plans of the emperor, has executed such works on the Danube, as nothing of that kind can be compared to, and which had excited the general admiration.
On a breadth of 2,400 feet, and over the most rapid current of the world, in about twenty days, a bridge has been erected, consisting of 60 arches, and so broad that three waggons can cross it abreast. Another only eight feet broad for the infantry, and a very large floating bridge were constructed—We can cross the Danube in three columns. Immense fortifications have been erected on the different adjacent islands, in order to protect the works of the bridges and secure our passage.
From the appearance of this enormous work, one would believe, that many years have been required to its performance, tho' it has not taken more than twenty days labor. The Tete de Ponts, which protect the bridges, are elegantly finished.
The Island Lobau is now one of the strongest fortresses, provided with an immense quantity of provisions of every description; 100 large cannon and 20 mortar pieces. The General Le Grand, who is in possession of the woods by the Tete de Ponts. The enemy's army is in order of battle, covered by fortifications (redoubts,) and has his left wing posted by Enzersdorf—the right by Great Aspern. Several skirmishes have already taken place. Our crossing the Danube being now made easy, and our bridges secured against every attack, the fate of the Austrian monarchy will be decided by a single battle.
The Prince Gagarin, the Adjutant of his Russian majesty, arrived this morning at 5 o'clock in Schoenbrunn, just as the Emperor was going to mount his horse. He had left St. Petersburg on the 8th of June. He brought relations of the marches and achievements of the Russian army in Galicia.
The Emperor Napoleon left Schoenbrunn, and is in encampment since two days. The tents are beautiful; they are erected after the Egyptian fashion.

In the Archduchies Minerva for June, are the following hitherto unknown anecdotes of Schill—1st that he, after having taken Stralsund, declared himself Duke of Pomerania—2d. that the Dutch cut his head off, and after preserving it in spirits, sent it abroad. Since the Emperor Napoleon has taken Vienna, daily Estafette is sent from thence to Paris with the most important news, and from Paris back to Vienna; the distance from Vienna to Augsburg is 70 German miles, which is performed in 50, or on the highest, 54 hours; from Augsburg to Paris, by way of Strasburg, is 88 miles, and performed in 66 or 70 hours. The weight of the dispatch does not exceed 8 or ten pounds.
Admiral Saumarez has wrote to the Swedish Admiral Puke, that circumstances had compelled him to employ the gun-boats which had been stationed off Malmo upon other services, but that two ships of the line would remain there for the protection of the merchant vessels bound to Carlskrona, and that three ships of the line would be stationed at Helsingburg for the convoy of Swedish merchant ships.

Yesterday the coronation of the new King took place. The 18th, a fire broke out in Upsal, (in Sweden,) which in the course of 15 hours destroyed 70 houses. The late King of Sweden is banished to an Island in the Lake Wittern, called Wisingo, situated in the province of Smaland, where he is to reside during the war: This Island is the most fertile spot in the whole Kingdom, and is generally called the Eden of Sweden.

No. 122. The board of health has reported, on the 1st July, that Charleston, in North America, is not to be considered as an infected, but suspicious place. In this suspicious situation, are included the state of Georgia, the West-India Islands, Turkey and African ports. All other cities and countries, without exception, are to be considered as not infected. Mr. Barke, the Danish minister to Spain, had the honor to deliver his credentials to King Joseph, the 9th of July.
MADRID, June 20. The King is desirous to secure the payment of the national debt, and has accomplished it. Depreciating a bankruptcy of the state, which, under this old government, had impoverished so many families, he has, by a decree of the 9th June, assumed the whole debt, and for the liquidation, ordered national estates to be sold, which otherwise would have been of no value to the public. The paper money heretofore issued by government, should pass current at its nominal value, and be received in payment for national estates, as gold and silver. This will put a stop to the imposition of usurers and strengthen the confidence in the new government. Since the French have been in possession of Vienna, all the cotton has been transported to Strasbourg and Schweitz, as long as any could be found in the Warehouses. Through Basil, passed lately a large flock of Spanish Sheep, as a present from Emperor Napoleon to Emperor Alexander—they were bound to Odessa.
NUREMBERG, June 26. The news from Vienna of the 21st contains nothing of any new war-like operations. The bill of mortality states that from the 4th to the 10th June, 196 persons had died in Vienna and its suburbs, and from the 11th to the 13th 60 persons, in which however, is not included those who have died in the hospitals. A letter written by the archduke Charles to the duke of Brunswick Oels, dated Deutsch Wagram, June 18th, is as follows:—With a painful sensibility, which your highness no doubt participates, have I been informed, that the troops of your highness have permitted themselves to exercise unbecoming cruelties and oppression in the Kingdom of Saxony, which have disgraced the army, and injured the good cause by irritating the people. I have commanded Field Marshal Lichtenstein Baron Nienmeyer who is invested with the command of the Royal Imperial Troops to notify, that he according to laws of war, will cause the severest punishment to be inflicted upon all such irregular offences committed either by the Royal Imperial, Hascassell or Brunswick Troops. This measure is highly necessary, so long as your highness's troops make a part of the army in Saxony—I request your highness to make this regulation known to your people.
PARIS, July 10. On the 4th inst. the Americans residing in this city, celebrated the anniversary of that ever memorable day which gave birth to their independence. The greatest taste was displayed in the decorations of the room in which they assembled: The walls were covered with emblematic figures of exquisite workmanship. At one end of the room America and France were seen sitting together in the Temple of Peace, united by laurel wreaths, each holding a horn of plenty, with England in a humble attitude at their feet. Another emblem represented the President U.

The following decree and New Quarantine Regulations, in Spain, was received by the schooner Morning Star, Capt. Smith, from Cadiz, to Jacob Barker.
Translated for the Public Advertiser. The Supreme Junta of the kingdom constantly zealous for the encouragement of agriculture and commerce, particularly in those articles most frequently the object of speculation in the greater number of persons, and in which farmers, as well as other individuals and tradesmen, can most easily employ their industry and capitals, has been pleased to declare, that for the present the corn, seeds or pulse, which are imported from foreign countries into any port of Spain, shall be free of duties, both royal and municipal, and of any other denomination whatever: and for the same reason and with the same views, the Supreme Junta has determined that conformably to the royal order of the 1st March, 1808, the exportation and circulation of the above mentioned articles, by land and sea, from one of the provinces of Spain to another, or of the ports or places to another, shall be free from any exaction or duties, either royal or municipal whatever, and without other formality or requisite than the return certificate, or those established to assure that the articles have not been landed in places occupied by the enemy. —Dated Seville, 16th June, 1809.

PROCLAMATION Issued by their Excellencies Hugh Lyle Carmichael, major general commander in chief of his Britannic Majesty's forces, and Don Juan Sanchez Ramirez, commander in chief of his Catholic Majesty's troops in that Island.
To the Inhabitants of the City and Spanish part of the Island of Santo Domingo. We are now in possession of the city of Santo Domingo. Divine providence has crowned with success the combined armies of his Britannic Majesty George the III. & his Catholic Majesty our beloved Ferdinand the VIIth.; this glorious triumph alone remained to the entire conquest of the ancient Spanish part of the Island, which in the treaty of Basle made in August 1795, was ceded to the French for certain considerations which gave rise thereto, as well as to other similar sacrifices on the part of that nation. In consequence of which success, we the undersigned, commanders of the English and Spanish armies now in possession of the said city, and above mentioned territories, considering it our duty to perfect the work which we have done, by the fundamental establishment of those regulations that tend to public order and safety, do ordain as follows:
1st. For the purpose of restoring and preserving tranquillity in these domains, too long distracted by intestine and sanguinary conflicts and to re-establish peace and tranquillity amongst all classes of the inhabitants, by exhorting them to unite under such principles and in conformity to the laws which are to govern them, it is mutually decreed that the ensuing code of Spanish jurisprudence shall from the date of this proclamation have its full force and authority, and the representative of his Catholic Majesty Don Juan Sanchez Ramirez shall alone nominate the judicial and magisterial officers he may think proper to carry into effect the civil jurisdiction.
2d. That the English and Spanish troops shall henceforward be governed by the respective rights and military laws under their own commanders, and for the purpose of establishing with solidity this ground work on which stand the order and administration of Justice, it is made known that any persons who may contrary to these premises disturb the peace and harmony, that is to reign amongst all classes, shall be without remission chastised with all the rigor of the law. Head Quarters Government—House, Santo Domingo 17th July, 1809. (Signed) H. L. CARMICHAEL. Maj. Gen. Commanding his Britannic Majesty's forces in Santo Domingo. (Signed) JUAN SANCHEZ RAMIREZ.
DOMESTIC. KIDNAPPING, &c. The facetious Huggins, a very accomplished barber of New York, says, in one of his sportive advertisements—"As for tarring & feathering, if I was in Baltimore, to be sure I might be under some little apprehension." We assure the Imperial Friseur, that rascality never escapes contempt and detestation in Baltimore; but it sometimes avoids the cozy downy honors of tar and feathers: witness JOHN HUNTER, the sheriff, who with incomparable meanness, dogged seven poor fellows, who had made their escape from the frigate at Annapolis, congratulated them on gaining their freedom—gave them money, it is said to pay their lodging—directed them to a tavern; and when the honest tars were snoring securely in their hammocks, this same insidious Hunter went to the British consul, and gave information of the deserters: this identical John Hunter, as fame will have it, after playing the part of an informer at night, acted that of a catch-pole in the morning. ("God save the king! will no man say, Amen?")
No; no: Hunter's both priest and clerk. He went, for the promise of 100 dollars a man, as the story goes, without any legal authority, and seized in their beds seven fell low men, who had risked their lives to set their feet upon a land of freedom! Be it known, that this Hunter has not been tarred and feathered: set this down to the credit (or discredit) of Baltimore moderation. A number of citizens, enraged and indignant at the baseness of the deed, and fearful lest some means might be taken to smuggle these men off to the frigate in the night (as it was too late to obtain their release) mounted guard at the prison; and yesterday morning the imprisoned sailors were brought before Judge Scott, and discharged; because they had been bastiled without any other authority than Mr. Wood's (the British consul's) letter! They were liberated amidst the acclamations of the crowd; who eagerly strove for precedence in giving them money, to begin the world anew. More of the habeas again.
Set this down to the credit of Baltimore; a city which the gangrene of torvism has never been able to corrupt; which beholds baseness with abhorrence, & oppression with sympathy....Whig. EXTRACT from Mr. Hunter's Address. The true story is, that on my return from Annapolis on Wednesday, I passed some men on the road, whom I supposed to be deserters; but neither gave them money, directions nor congratulation. At the request of Mr. Wood, without any offer or promise of reward, I arrested them for the purpose of having them sent to the frigate from which they had deserted. In arresting them, I performed what I conceived to be the duty of a good citizen, desirous of preventing any just cause of complaint against our government for encouraging the desertion of mariners from a foreign national vessel, sent to the U. States for the express purpose of conveying hither an ambassador to negotiate with our government; a duty which I have considered myself by the laws of the land, bound to perform, and in which I have been in some measure justified by the opinion of the chief justice; for although he directed their discharge from prison, on the ground that, in his opinion no law of this state or the United States authorised their detention in the public jail, yet he at the same time admitted, in express terms the right of the British consul (under whose authority I acted) to seize deserters from a British public vessel, & send them on board. I have thought it due to that portion of my fellow citizens, of all parties, whose opinions I respect, to give the above explanations of my conduct and motives, conscious that I shall meet the approbation of the virtuous and the good. JOHN HUNTER. BALTIMORE, Sept. 8. Case of the men arrested as Deserters from the Frigate L'Africaine, by John Hunter, Esq.
Esq. Sheriff of Baltimore—at the request of William Wood, Esq. British consul for the Port of Baltimore. An Habeas Corpus was applied for, to Judge Scott, late on Thursday evening on behalf of seven men arrested, and held in custody by the sheriff, at the request, and on the statement of a British consul that they were deserters, by their Council. The Habeas Corpus was issued as prayed for, returnable the next morning at 9 o'clock—Accordingly this morning the men were brought up amid an immense concourse of citizens, who filled the court house and the neighboring street, and the sheriff made return that he had arrested and detained the men in custody, in virtue of the following authority from the British consul:
"BRITISH CONSULS OFFICE. BALTIMORE, 8th Sept. 1809. JOHN HUNTER, Esq. SIR, Having received information that 13 Seamen have deserted from L'Africaine frigate, and are now in this city—I have to request that you will be pleased to secure them till they can be sent on board. I am, &c. W. WOOD."
By virtue of this authority, I have arrested and put in prison the following persons—to wit, JOHN NOWLAN, WILLIAM WHOLERS, DENNIS MURPHY, RICHARD HEWES, JOHN EARP, JOHN BURWELL, JACOB LAMB. The judge said that he had concurred in his duty to give notice to Mr. Wood (the British Consul) of the application, so that he might appear and show cause, if any he had, why the men should be detained.
In the course of a few minutes Mr. Wood came into court, and the council for the prisoners, Messrs. Glenn and J. L. Donaldson moved the court that the men be discharged, sufficient cause for their detention not appearing, on the return. Mr. Wood's council, Mr. Walter Dorsey, requested to be allowed time to enquire into the law, and said that they would be ready to prove that these men were deserters from his Britannic Majesty's ship. The council for the prisoners objected to the delay; and the judge declaring that the arrest had been unlawful, and that there was no authority to hold them in custody, ordered them to be discharged, which took place amid the plaudits & hearty rejoicings of a numerous concourse of people....Balt. Even. Post.
The British seamen released this morning, from the following persons, American citizens, have been impressed, and are now detained on board L'Africaine frigate. Edward Swaine, John Ferguson, George Wilson, John Butler, John Williams, Ambrose Cruse. The three last are black men....E. Post.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman at Ogdensburg, to his friend at New York dated August 15. "Since I saw you, I have travelled from Albany by land through the Genessee country to Niagara, and from thence have proceeded thus far by water, on my way to Montreal, from which place I shall return home by Lake Champlain. The rapidity with which the Genessee country has settled is almost incredible. Fine cultivated farms and populous villages are now found where, but a few years ago, was nothing but a wilderness—the lands are excellent, producing grain in abundance as well as beef, pork, &c. The inhabitants however, have hitherto laboured under disadvantages in consequence of the great distance they were compelled to carry their produce to market, being from two to three hundred miles from Albany, to which place the whole surplus produce of this country was carted—you will readily perceive that to cart a bushel of wheat or a barrel of flour such a distance must cost almost as much as it was worth. But the farmers in that country have now discovered, that their produce can be brought to this place and carried from thence to Montreal at an expense of less than one fourth of the transportation to Albany—An experiment has lately been made which has proved beyond all doubt that the navigation for large vessels from Ogdensburg into Lake Ontario is not only practicable but perfectly easy. Notwithstanding all the exertions that have been made by the British to establish Kingston, as the foot of the ship navigation, and the point at which the produce of the upper country was to be put on board of small boats to descend the rapids to Montreal, it is now universally admitted that this must be the place of deposit in consequence of the result of this summer's experiment to Ogdensburg."
FROM THE BOSTON PATRIOT. SOMETHING CURIOUS. WM. COBBETT, while in America, never ceased to vent the caustic malignity of his soul upon every American who expressed sentiments of regard for our republican government—friendship to France—or distrust of British faith, or the perfection of the British government. Col. Pickering, as appears by the following curious fragments, (extracted from the ninth vol. of Cobbett's works, published in London, 1801, interspersed with C's. notes,) once entertained some of those crude, heterodox notions of American liberty and rights which were so offensive to his after friend Porcupine, whose pungent quills, it is said, contributed in no small degree to the correction of the col's errors—and to his establishment in the faith of Great Britain's and his own perfection. If the col. is now right, the talker to the six nations was notoriously wrong—if the talker was right, col. P. is the best qualified of all living talkers and writers to give an experimental lecture on the subject of "apostates."
If we recollect aright the report of "a hearer," Cobbett has omitted to publish, (probably as too disgusting even to his own rude taste,) that part of this talk so characteristic of the talker, in which he dilated upon his own integrity. We should give the whole, could we have access to the records of the U. States, like the British hireling, when col. P's. integrity presided over the secretary's department. Faithful extracts from a talk delivered on Saturday the 2d of October, 1794, to the Indians, at Kanandaigua, by Timothy Pickering, then a commissioner to the six nations, since secretary of the state. The talk was sent by Timothy Pickering to captain Brant, head of the nation of Mohawks. It will be curious to compare the sentiments of Pickering, commissioner in 1794, with Pickering, secretary in 1797.
Col. Pickering in the beginning of his talk exculpates himself from the reproach of vanity directed against him by the Indian chief Cornplanter, for not having consented to the admission of the English agent in the council in these words:
"It is not the pride of knowledge, for I have but little; it is not the pride of understanding, for mine is moderate; it is not the pride of eloquence, for I am an indifferent speaker." Mr. Pickering appears early to have formed a just appreciation of his talents.
"You recollect the violent inflammatory speech of Lord DORCHESTER, which the British interpreted to you last spring, at Buffalo creek. This talk was like that of Governor Simcoe; he said that a war would probably take place between the British and Americans, and then the settlement in all the country here would be, considered as an encroachment on the right of the king—Brothers, the speech of Lord Dorchester was so carefully interpreted to you in order to prepare your minds for war, and to take up the hatchet once more against the U. S."
"Beyond a doubt it was the intention of the king and his counsellors to make war upon the U. States. And for what? we have done them no injury—brothers, since we refused to submit to their tyranny; since we threw the king upon his back and established our independence, they have borne us no good will. They would gladly make another attempt to involve us, and they thought a fair opportunity presented. I must tell you some things about the affairs on the other side of the great waters.—The French whom you know, were governed by a king, his warriors assisted the Americans in their late war with the British."
"In America the French saw how we managed our affairs, that they were not directed by one man at his pleasure, but by wise counsellors we ourselves chose for the purpose. The French being an intelligent people, soon learnt how we conducted our business, and were pleased with it. When they went home, they wished to have their business managed in like manner by wise counsellors of their own choosing and would no longer submit to the tyranny of the king—They accordingly threw him down and cut off his head; this, brothers, enraged all the neighboring tyrants called kings, and they combined together and raised great armies of regular soldiers to oblige the French again to be governed by a king."
"At that time the tyrants expected easily to subdue the French, and prevent their becoming a free people. And as the French were the only allies of the U. States, the British king and his counsellors thought this would be a good time to attack us, and once more subject us to their tyranny. In pursuit of this object, Lord DORCHESTER, made his inflammatory speech to the Indians, to prepare them for a general war; and STMOORE built his forts on the Miami, and tried to break up the settlement at Green Sodas—With the same view the armed vessels of the king stole our property on the great waters, having taken hundreds of our vessels laden with goods to the value of many hundred thousand dollars. And not content with robbing us of our property, they put our seamen on board their armed vessels and compelled them to fight against our friends the French."
"These injuries were now too great to be borne with any longer. So according to the custom of the white nation, our great chief sent one of his wise counsellors to demand satisfaction, and it is probable he will succeed in obtaining satisfaction, and prevent a war between the British and the United States; for the mind of the king and his counsellors appear to be changed, they seemed to have dropped the unjust design of making war upon us. They have seen that all the tyrants combined against France cannot subdue them; they have seen, that the French will remain a free people, and that now it will be in vain to attempt to deprive us Americans of our liberty. The French, brothers, instead of being subdued, are now overthrowing the countries of the tyrants that attacked them; the French are a very great people, and on this occasion they have adopted the custom of the Indians, all their young men are become warriors, and marched against their enemies, and beat them on all sides."
NOTE BY COBBETT. *The falsehoods that Mr. PICKERING uttered to these savages are well known to every man acquainted with the circumstances.—Let this talk be compared with other talks that Mr. Pickering has since put into writing.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 6.—The Quebec Gazette of the 17th ult. gives the clearances of 29 ships, 38 brigs, 6 shows, and 16 scows; nearly all the square-rigged vessels for Great Britain.—A great part of them sailed under convoy of the Foxhound, of 18 guns. The Fisheries.—Schooner Farmer from Labrador, with 97,000 fish; schr. Jane from do. with 117,000; schr. Parrot, from do. with 84,000; and two or three others, with like fares, arrived at Newburyport last week—Fish has been very plenty this season.—The aggregate amount expected to be received at Newburyport by vessels belonging there, is stated at 1,000,500 fish!—A number of Cape Cod vessels were at Labrador: 3d. ult.

CHARLESTON, Sep. 6. At a meeting of the Citizens yesterday, held in St. Michael's Church, agreeable to adjournment.
DR. RAMSAY in the Chair, JOHN S. COGGELL, Secretary; The Committee appointed at the Meeting of the 29th ult. reported sundry resolutions; which being read by the Chairman, were unanimously agreed to, and are as follows: WHEREAS it appears by the Proclamation of the President of the U. S. of the 9th ult. that the arrangement lately concluded by him and the Minister of his Britannic Majesty, has been disavowed by the government of the latter, though the U. S. had performed with the utmost promptitude and good faith, the stipulations incumbent on them; in consequence of which, the sincere and honorable endeavors of our Government to meet that nation on a footing of amity and pacification have failed, and all the evils resulting from their Orders in Council are again visited upon our peaceful and rightful commerce, under circumstances peculiarly injurious and insulting, while the other numerous violations of our natural rights and national honor, of which we have so long and so justly complained, remain altogether unredressed:—And, whereas, the arrangement so happily concluded, contained in the opinion of this meeting, no more than this Go-
vernment was in honor bound to demand, and no more than the Government of Great Britain was in justice obliged to grant, and has been rejected by the latter, under pretences as frivolous as they are unjust—it becomes our duty, as a Free People, (among whom public sentiment constitutes national strength,) at so important a crisis, to animate and confirm the resolves of our rulers and representatives, by an expression of our confidence, and to proclaim to the world, that, breathing this confidence, and united to a man, in the love of our inestimable Government, and our excellent Constitution, it is our determination to support, by every sacrifice and at every hazard, the honor of our country, and the just rights of a great and Independent People.—Therefore,
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Charleston and its vicinity, of every political denomination, in this meeting assembled, feel the highest indignation and resentment at the manner in which the United States have been treated in the late negotiation; nor will those feelings be allayed by the belief, that the conduct of the British Ministry in the transaction, was not characterized by the guilt of perfidy, for the pretences, on which they have acted, would not therefore cease to be as unjust, as they are incompatible with the pride and honor of an independent nation.
Resolved, That we have the highest confidence in the virtue, ability, and prudence of the President of the United States—that we highly approve of the prompt and dignified manner in which he has renewed the operation of the Non-Intercourse Laws, and solemnly pledge to him, to Congress and to our Country, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor, to support the government in all the measures which the crisis shall demand, though they should subject us to the privations, and involve us in the calamities of a just and necessary war.
Resolved, That the present alarming situation of our public affairs demand a union of all our Citizens—that we will on this point, and at this time, silence the controversies of party, forget the interests and prejudices of local situation, and with a generous emulation strive with each other, who shall best serve the great cause of our beloved country.
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing Resolutions be signed by the Chairman of this meeting, and transmitted by him to the President of the U. States. It was then moved, and seconded, that the thanks of this meeting be tendered the Chairman and Secretary, for their attention. The Meeting then adjourned.
A friend at Stonington, writes the editor, that Mr. Reuben Chesbrough, and others of that town, on the 1st between that port & Long-Island, picked up a junk bottle, tight corked, containing a billet, which he enclosed. Its contents are as follows:— "If any one shall ever find this, he is requested to publish in several Newspapers, that I, Lewis Olifant, of the ship Courtenay of Richmond, (Va.) was captured in lat. 36° 38, long. 48° 15 by a French pirate, called La Vengeance, carrying 75 men, & 6 long 8 pounders; on the 6th of May, 1809." The privateer must have been on our coast, or the thing is the quiz of some low wit: Its validity can be tested at Richmond.... Conn. Gaz.
DOUBTS DISSIPATED! Notwithstanding the exaggeration of certain particulars, and the misapprehension in others of the account of the battle in July, on the Danube, we always felt assured, that about that period such a battle was an event necessarily arising out of "existing circumstances." We offered our calculations on the subject four weeks ago, and our calculations have been verified within a day or two; we predicted the consequences of an action, and our predictions are verified: An action has been fought, and let not the cavillers feel sore on it, the accounts received fix the theatre of action, where we had anticipated it, on the line of the little river Russbach—about twelve to fourteen miles east and north-east of Vienna; with the Morave in their rear.
The position was every way judiciously chosen and favorable to the Austrians. They had a campaign of fourteen miles east and west of the Danube, by 22 north and south, with the natural intrenchment of the Russbach; the swamps on the lower Russbach, and the elevated, rocky, wood covered declivities on the right; they had a strong country of hill, and dale and wood in their rear, and the turrets of Vienna and the volume of the Danube in their front, and the mountains of Sultzberg and the upper Austria, and of Bohemia and Moravia full in their front, and presenting to the pride of the soldier and the patriotism of the citizen, (fifty felt them) every inducement that could inspire courage, enthusiasm, indignation and heroism—hair homes, their wives, their children and their firesides.
That the battle was fought, nay more, that the French crossed the Danube again in the face of all the force of Austria, and were the assailants, is too evidently true to be any longer questioned or disputed; that the Austrians were fortified by all the precautions which the talents of the French school, and the past experience and the sagacity which the Austrians possessed; all that could be brought to their aid, through the inflammation of passion, to rage by deception and aggravation, in aid of national courage, was called forth; the science of defence was exhausted for resources and resistance. On the other side, we have only learned briefly—the French crossed the Danube in their usual sing song style; they danced along the borders of the Danubian marshes; and by a series of successive attacks, stormed the redoubts, forced the intrenchments, and defeated the "greatest military captain of Europe."
Infatuation may take rhubarb to avert veng. tigo—and the ready supple kneed slaves of British domination may require cannonballs to prevent mausea; the fourth coalition has met the fate of the three preceding. The fact is beyond doubt.
The conqueror has permitted the archduke Charles to retire to Hungary with 40,000 men out of 160,000. The difference of 120,000 comprehends the killed, the prisoners, and those who were permitted to return to their particular homes; the Suabian, the Wirtemberger, Hessian, Westphalian, Franconian, Bavarian, Tyrolian, Saltzberger, Silesian, Pussian, Pole, and Saxon, were permitted to return from the remnant of the Austrian army to their homes. The Hungarians & Illyrians, to retire with the archduke.
But the very remnant—suffered to return will meet on their route, the contemptuous marching from France, and they will in vain recruits for the overthrow of Turkey.

The field of speculation is inexhaustible; the consequences of the lost victory and overthrow of Austria, few men give themselves the trouble to look at—and many are too infatuated to believe, when the evidence is before their eyes. The Turkish crescent sinks on the horizon of Europe—the Hellespont will be no longer accessible to the commerce of England, or any power that submits to her tyranny. Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Malta, fall into the orbit of the French influence, and that alliance which would have been laughed at, as ludicrous, 20 years ago will take place; an alliance offensive and defensive between Great Britain and the Algerine & Tunisian . Before this universal revolution closes, we should not be surprised to see the eagles of Napoleon on the shores of Barbary, rooting out those nests of piracy—there are other more trying and serious events which regard other portions of Europe, which we do not touch now, because we mean to give them a more enlarged discussion on another day.

On Monday the subscription for the stock of the BANK OF WASHINGTON was opened at Long's Hotel. We have the pleasure to state that the number of shares to which the subscription is limited, (25,000 shares at 40 dollars each) was subscribed before 2 o'clock. At 4 o'clock, till which hour the commissioners were required to keep open the books, 36,000 shares were subscribed, and many persons were in attendance, whose subscriptions, if they could have been received, would have added very considerably to the surplus already subscribed. In order to reduce the number of shares to that fixed by the constitution of the Bank, an account equal to the surplus will be deducted from the shares of those who have subscribed to the largest amount. Every friend of the city will learn with pleasure this testimony of its increasing prosperity.
THE ENQUIRER. RICHMOND, SEPTEMBER 15, 1809. FOR THE ENQUIRER.
THE BATTLE OF WAGRAM. This battle is, in some respects, unprecedented in the annals of the world—in its consequences, vast, impossible to be foreseen. The battles which were fought in distant ages, when there were no immediate historians to record their events, are wrapt in all the wonder and doubts of antiquity. The most exaggerated accounts are given of the number of the Troops and the fortunes of the day. Thus in the celebrated battle of Thermopylae, which decided the Empire of Eastern Asia between the Assyrians of Babylon and the Persians, the army of Cyrus is said to have amounted to 196,000 horse and foot, 36,000 of them horse, besides 300 Chariots of war, armed with Scythes—that of Crassus to the extraordinary number of 420,000 men, of whom 60,000 were Cavalry. The defeat of Crassus was certainly complete—the sceptre of Babylon was transferred into the hands of Cyrus—but no satisfactory account has been given of the extent of the havoc—of the number of the slain, the wounded and the prisoners.
In the first Persian war with the Greeks, the army of Darius under the Command of Datis is said to have consisted of 100,000 foot, and 10,000 horse—And that of the Athenians, under the auspices of the illustrious Miltiades, of only 10,000 men. Yet so much superior is the energy of freemen to that of slaves, that the Athenians are said to have lost only 200 men—whereas on the side of the Persians, above 6000 men were slain, without reckoning those that fell into the sea as they endeavored to escape, or those that were consumed with the ships on fire.
One of the most extraordinary armies, which appear on the page of history, is that of Xerxes, in the second war which these Persians waged against the illustrious Greeks. That mad monarch is said to have had at Thermopylae the immense mass of 2,641,510 land and sea forces together, exclusive of servants, eunuchs, women, sutlers &c., of which says Mons. Rollin, the number at this time was equal to that of the forces; so that the whole number of souls that followed Xerxes in this expedition, amounted to 5,283,220. This is the computation, which Plutarch and Isocrates agree with them. Diodorus Siculus, Pliny, Elian, and others, fall very far short of this number in their calculation; but their account of the matter appears to be less authentic than that of Herodotus who lived in the same age with this expedition, and who repeats the inscription engraved by the order of the Amphictyons upon the monument of those Grecians, who were killed, at Thermopylae, which exclaimed, "Much allowance is, no doubt, to be made for the Grecian prejudices of Herodotus, and the patriotic feelings of his countrymen, in making these computations. To oppose this immense multitude, all the forces of the Greeks originally amounted only to 11,200 men, of which number 400 men only were employed to defend the Pass of Thermopylae. The brave Leonidas however is said to have obliged the rest of his allies to retire, but still himself with his 300 Lacedemonians, all resolved to die with their leader." The virtue and enthusiasm of Freemen again shone pre-eminent—and this Spartan Band did not perish, before 20,000 of the Persian troops had bit the dust. One Spartan only escaped to tell the fate of his comrades.
After the naval engagement of Salamis, Xerxes retired to his own Empire, and left Mardonius with an army of 300,000 troops, to complete a conquest which he himself could not achieve. The satrap was not more successful than the monarch. In the battle of Plataea, the Persians were completely overthrown. The Lacedemonians are computed at 50,000, besides 3,000 of the Tegyate. The events of that day's battle were decisive in favor of the Greeks—but the particulars of the havoc, the number of the slaughtered and the wounded, are not recorded by the only historian, whom I have had an opportunity to consult.
The next important war, which stands on the annals of history, is that which was waged by Alexander the Great against the Persians, in which he retaliates upon them the aggressions, which they had inflicted upon the Greeks—and drives back "the contents of the poisoned chalice to their own lips"—somewhat in the same way as the French have reported upon the powers of the continent the evils of their invasion of France, and the atrocious treaties of Tilsit and of Tilsit. During this celebrated contest, the army of the Macedonians consisted of little more than 30,000 men, and 3,000 horse.
At the battle of the Granicus, the Persian army is said to have consisted of 100,000 foot and upwards of 10,000 horse—"According to Justin, their army consisted of 600,000 foot; whereas Arrian declares, there were not more than 20,000. Diodorus Siculus confirms the former estimate." This diversity among the historians is a most instructive fact, as it inculcates the extreme caution with which their accounts of the number of armies at that day should be received.—In this engagement, the Barbarians (as the Greeks used to call all foreign nations,) are said to have lost 20,000 foot and 2,500 horse—The Macedonians only 120.
In the subsequent battle of Issus, Darius is reported to have had 160,000 troops—the number of the Persians is not recorded in the historian, to whom I have referred. The fortune of war was again on the side of Alexander—but the details of the havoc are not displayed. It is merely said, that in the engagement and the rout, the Persians lost a great number of forces, both horse and foot—but that very few were lost by the Conqueror.
The battle of Arbela was however beyond question the most memorable of all, that were comprised within the Persian war. Darius seems to have collected all his resources for the last desperate effort—and for the first time, the computation of his forces, enlisted on the spot and in the very heart of his dominions, somewhat approaches to that immense multitude of troops, which his predecessor Xerxes is said to have conducted out of his dominions. Darius is represented to have had 600,000 foot and 40,000 horse—Alexander not more than 40,000 foot, and 7 or 8,000 horse. "According to Arrian, the Persians lost 300,000 besides those who were taken prisoners—which at least, says Rollin, was a proof that the loss was very considerable on their side." The Grecian Historian has most probably exaggerated, in an extraordinary degree, the extent of the carnage, in order to add to the lustre of the Grecian achievement—although his computation of the Persian army, at the battle of the Granicus, would seem to contradict this supposition. In this decisive victory, which secured the crown of Persia on the brow of Alexander, he is said to have lost only 1200 men, most of them horse.
The Sceptre of the East was subsequently transferred into the hands of Rome—but before Rome was powerful enough to achieve these conquests, she was obliged to pass through a series of wars, with the Italian States, with Spain, and Carthage on the Coasts of Africa, with the Italian States, in all of which she was ultimately victorious. But in all of these contests, there is one offly, which bears the smallest comparison with the destructive battle of Wagram. Need I remind the reader of the celebrated battle of Cannae, in which the great Hannibal at the head of his Carthaginians, after having traversed Spain and Gaul, descended the snows of the Alps, and marched into the very heart of the Enemy's country, seemed determined to decide the fate of Rome herself? In this engagement, the Romans, inclusive of Allies, are estimated at 80,000 foot, and a little more than 6,000 horse—The Carthaginians, at 40,000 foot and 10,000 horse. The fate of war was completely on the side of Hannibal—but what diversities prevail among the historians in their computations of the numbers of the slain! Polybius estimates the loss of the Romans at 70,000, Livy at 43,000. Hannibal is said to have lost 4,000 Gauls, 1,500 Spaniards and Africans, and 200 horse.
The most common students of History are acquainted with the final results of these contests—the firm intrepidity of the Romans, their dispatching the great Scipio to Africa, to play off upon the Carthaginians, their own system of invading the enemy's territory, the recall of Hannibal to defend his own country, and the final fall of Carthage. These victories enabled the Romans to turn their arms towards the East. The first very memorable battle, which occurred in that quarter, is that of Pydna, in which Paulus Emilius commanded an army of 51,200 men against Perseus, monarch of Macedon. 25,000 of the Macedonians perished—and it is said, only 100 of the Romans.
But the most extraordinary engagement which was fought in the East, was the one, in which Lucullus defeated Tigranes, King of the Armenians. The latter is said to have commanded not less than 20,000 Archers and Slingers, 55,000 horse, of which 17,000 were heavy-armed Cavalry, 150,000 foot, besides pioneers, &c., to the amount of 35,000. Lucullus is said to have commanded the small corps of 10 or 12,000 infantry, besides horse and 100 archers. The result of this engagement is incredible. Some historians represent the loss of the Armenians at 100,000 of the foot—and that of the Romans at not more than 100.
Comparisons have been often instituted between Bonaparte & Cæsar. In the celebrated battle of Pharsalia which decided the contest of Pompey and Cæsar for the Empire of Rome and of the world, the former commanded 45,000 men, besides 2 cohorts of Volunteers. Cæsar's army has been computed at 22,000. Pompey lost 15,000 men, and 24,000 prisoners—Cæsar, according to his own account, lost only 200 men with 30 centurions.
It is useless to burden the reader with a description of the wars, which arose during the decline and fall of the Roman Empire—the irruption of the Goths and Vandals—the wars of Mahomet, and the triumphs of the Turks. Indeed, between the periods that we have past, and the operations of the present age, what reasonable analogy can be instituted! The invention of Gun-powder has achieved an almost complete revolution in the processes of war. Battles are comparatively less bloody, from the superior distance of armies & the consequent facilities of retreat. Armies are less numerous, because they are less concentrated into masses, and more scattered into detachments—the arts of fortification have reached such a height as to enable each party to erect numerous points of strength, which must successively be subdued, before the invading army can securely advance farther into the enemy's country—hence re-inforcements are more practicable, campaigns are spun out to a greater length, and battles are more numerous. Perhaps the only brilliant exception which has occurred since the invention of Gun-Powder, is to be found in the late tactics of Revolutionary France, and in the genius of a man, whose rapidity of movements overruns empires in a breath, and generally terminates wars in a single campaign.
Yet what comparison is there between any of these battles since the invention of Gun-powder, and that of Wagram, in the number of the combatants, and in the loss of the vanquished—his own previous campaigns only excepted? In the battle of Ramlies, in 1700, the French lost but 8,000 killed and wounded, and 5,000 prisoners. In the battle of Dettingen, the French had
but 6,000 troops. In that of Fontenoy, they lost 10,000 men. In the battle of Prague, May 1757, the Austrians had about 80,000 troops. The Prussians, by their own account, lost only 3,000 killed and twice that number wounded—The Austrians, in killed, wounded and prisoners, not less than 12,000. At the battle of Minden in 1757, the French lost but 700 men. Those, which have been waged since the French revolution, have been peculiarly destructive. In the battle of Marengo, on the 13th June, 1800, the French are said by some to have had 47,000 Infantry, 3,000 Cavalry and 30 pieces of cannon—the Austrians, 43,000 Infantry, 15,000 Cavalry and 100 cannon. The latter are said to have lost 17,000, including prisoners—15 standards and 50 pieces of cannon—the French 5,000 troops.
In the battle of Austerlitz, the Russians are said to have had 80,000 troops besides Austrians—the French are said to have lost 8,000, of whom 3,000 were prisoners. In that of Jena, on October, 1806, the Russians have been rated at 55,000—they lost between 20 and 40,000 prisoners, from 25 to 30 pair of colours, 300 pieces of cannon—in dead and wounded, 20,000. The French lost 10, or 12,000 killed and 3,000 wounded.
In that of Eylau, on February 7, 1807, the French lost 17,000 killed; 5,700 wounded; 7,000 of the Russians were left on the field of battle. In the battle of Friedland, 14th June, 1807, the Russians lost from 15 to 18,000, and 80 pieces of cannon—the French 5,000, besides 3,000 wounded. These estimates are taken from the French bulletins, which in some points are doubtless caricatured. What is to be inferred from these facts?—That in respect to the numbers of the combatants on both sides, & the extent of the losses, most of the most celebrated battles of antiquity are inferior to that of Wagram—the battle of Marathon, Thermopylae, Cannae, and Pharsalia are decidedly inferior—the only ones, that vie with it, are those of Arbela and Lucullus, of which the accounts are so extravagant and so extravagant as almost to defy belief—that since the invention of Gunpowder, when any fair comparison can be instituted, there is nothing to compare with the battle of Wagram, except the victories perhaps of Austerlitz and Jena—that the famous contests of Minden, of Fontenoy and Prague are eclipsed—and even as to the battle of Jena, though more cannon were taken by the French, that fewer were employed in the engagement, fewer combatants were engaged on each side, and fewer troops were lost by the enemy. These last inferences proceed upon the supposition that the French Bulletins are as worthy of credit at one time as at another.
But why longer dilate upon a proposition of this sort? The rolls of history comprise not an engagement, in which there were so many as from 12 to 150,000 pieces of artillery, from 3 to 400,000 combatants, and the loss on one side of 60,000 troops. The mind shrinks from this vast combination of the means of destruction; the heart sickens at this murderous waste of the human species—and the American eye lifts itself to the Heavens in thanks, that these scenes of devastation are not displayed on the fields of our country. But the understanding will not refuse its assent to the proposition which has been stated.
But the genius of Napoleon is not confined to the evolutions of the battle. What shall we think of the bridges which were built over the Danube? When his corps of sailors from Boulogne ascended the Rhine to Strasburg, what said the London Editors? That he was so much in want of recruits, that he was compelled to change the element on which they had lived—and turn his sailors into soldiers. Was this the case? His provident sagacity seems to have foreseen the necessity of their attendance—and when the bridges of the Danube were destroyed, his soldiers and architects were present to replace them with more convenient substitutes. Julius Cæsar has been commemorated for the bridge, which he built over the Rhine—and there is not a school-boy, who does not recollect that famous chapter in his commentaries, that pons asinorum , or asses bridge, as it has been termed, in which he gives us a description of its texture. But this simple bridge over the Rhine, required ten days to complete it, reckoning from the time when they began to bring the timber to the banks of the river. Bonaparte completed his three bridges in 20 days—Still much is due to the resources of the age, in which we live, as well as to the man who directs them to his views.
There are many errors and exaggerations too, which disappear before these last accounts!—Some time since, the federal prints treated us with a long list of French Generals, who were killed and wounded on the 21st and 22nd May. Among the former are Fouler, Durosnel and Molitor—These, however, are snatched by the long Austrian bulletin from the grave; the two first are prisoners, and the last is placed on the list of wounded, along with Massena and Lasalle. With these, the federal list had placed Gen. Oudinot. Slight, however, must have been their wounds, as Massena, Oudinot and Lasalle are found in distinguished stations in the action of Wagram.
As to the immediate results of the battle of Wagram, they are legible in the terms of the Armistice. The archduke has evacuated Austria, in which the strong fortress of Gratz is to be surrendered to the French. The line of Demarcation touches the borders of Bohemia, passes to Brunn in the Marquisate of Moravia, thence diverges into Hungary as far as the Raab, thence to the gulf of Venice, excluding Carniola, and paying the archduke the compliment of disposing of the city of Fiume on the Adriatic. The Austrians are therefore left in possession of Bohemia, and of most of Moravia and Hungary. They are to evacuate the Tyrol, and the Vorarlberg, no longer to fan the flame of disaffection in these countries.
It may be, that the armistice is merely preparatory to the pacification of the parties—in which case, it is possible, that the lines of demarcation in the armistice may be nearly the same as those in the treaty of Peace. The Emperor may be shorn of the beams of Austria—and confined to Bohemia, Hungary &c. These were a part of the hereditary dominions of the Emperor of Austria. In 1740, when by virtue of the pragmatic sanction, the whole of the Austrian dominions belonged to Maria Theresa; they consisted of the kingdoms of Bohemia and Hungary, the Province of Silesia, Austrian Swabia, Upper and Lower Austria, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, the four Forest Towns, Burgau, Brisgau, the Low Countries, Friuli, Tyrol, the duchy of Milan and the duchies of Parma and Piacentia. Many of these territories have been successively lopped off.
It is possible, that Austria may be transferred to the king of Bavaria—so that the king of Bohemia and Hungary will be only invested with the same power as his neighbor. Galicia or Austrian Poland may be restored to the Poles; and an indemnity be furnished to Turkey. It is thus, that Germany may be so divided as to furnish no single power capable of exciting the fears of Bonaparte; and a new barrier be erected in Poland to check the future irruptions of the Russians, or a new ally to aid his enterprises against that rising power. Time, however, will shed its light upon all these things!!
DESERTERS FROM THE L'AFRICAIN.
We have not yet facts enough before us to decide on this extraordinary case. Everything that is in the Baltimore prints, and among the rest, the defence of Mr. Hunter, the sheriff of the city and county of Baltimore, who took the men, is laid before our readers.
It is plain that they could not have been seized under a law of the United States—for there is none on the subject.
It is plain that it could not be done under the residuary ten Articles of the British Treaty—because the 27th Art. has expired, and even that related only to persons "charged with murder and forgery," & not to Deserters. It must have been under colour of some law of the State of Maryland—what that law of, we know not—but we know, that the law of Virginia, has, within the last eight years, past thro' some modifications. In consequence of one of the Seamen of the Hermione being delivered up at Norfolk, the Legislature of 1801 enacted severe penalties against any one, who "in combination with a foreign agent," should cause to be delivered up any citizen of the U. S. or any other free person whatsoever, "to be transported beyond sea or elsewhere." During the Session of 1804-5, the delegate of the borough of Norfolk moved a modification of this law, observing that in consequence of it no magistrate "had conceived himself authorised to issue his warrant for the apprehension of a seaman, who had articles himself to the captain of a foreign vessel."
An act was passed, making it lawful for any justice of the peace, upon the complaint of the master of the vessel or other officer commanding in his absence, to issue his warrant to bring before him any mariner, not a citizen of the U. S. States, who shall have deserted from any merchant ship or vessel—and upon due proof of the facts, the justice is to commit him to jail, to wait the orders of the captain, &c.
Such is the law of this state; we repeat, that we know not what the law of Maryland is—but it cannot be the law, to authorize a foreign agent to issue his process or request to a sheriff of the state, to seize a deserter and send him back to his vessel, without the intervention of some judiciary tribunal of this country. If such were the law, a British consul might style any American citizen, a deserter & send him to a Jersey Ship. We suspect that Mr. Hunter's commitment of the men to jail without the orders of a magistrate, was illegal—and if it was his intention to convey them from the jail to the L'Africaine, we are confident that he has acted a part unworthy of an officer, and of an American citizen.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE GREEN LITTLE SHAMROCK OF IRELAND
The following beautiful verses, were written by the celebrated comedian CHERRY, and set to Music by the famous Shield...
There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle, 'Twas St. Patrick himself, sure that set it, And the sun, on his labor, with pleasure did smile,
It thrives thro' the bog, thro' the brake, thro' the mireland, And he calls it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland,
This dear little plant still grows in our land, Fresh and fair as the daughters of Erin, Whose smiles can bewitch, whose eyes can command,
In each climate that each shall appear in. And shine thro' the bog, thro' the brake, thro' the mireland,
Just like their own dear little Shamrock of Ireland, The sweet little Shamrock, &c. This dear little plant that springs from our soil, When its three little leaves are extended,
Denotes from one stalk, we together should toil, And ourselves by our selves be befriended. And still thro' the bog, thro' the brake, thro' the mireland,
BRITISH EXPENDITURES.
Col. WARDLE, in the British House of Commons, on the 19th June, stated the burthens of the country, and the grievances from which he thought it might be relieved.
The regiments of Horse Guards and Blues, which now consist of 22,000 men, he would reduce to 500, as they are only intended for parade.
The foreign troops in the British service, amount to 22,978, the expense of this corps is £1,300,000 per annum.
The Royal Staff Corps, he deemed useless, as their duty appertained to the engineers.
The militia of the United Kingdom costs the country annually three millions; by allowing half the men to spend a month employed at the harvest, £300,000 might be saved.
The annual expense of the Local Militia was £1,218,000, out of this £800,000 was allowed to the staff, which he deemed a prodigal expenditure.
The clothing of this corps costs £3 per man, whereas a jacket and trousers being all that was necessary for uniform, might be procured for half a guinea.
The volunteer force cost £1,000,000 per annum. This was useless; for the spirit of the country, and the attendant advantages on the service, such as exemption from ballot, &c. ought to be sufficient to induce men to enter into it.
The Royal Waggon Train costs £48,995 per annum. This is useless, because it can only be employed at home.
The Staff of the army costs £449,649 per annum. He could show that £200,000 per annum might be saved.
The recruiting staff, cost £349,000 per annum. £100,000 might be saved.
The expense of clothing the troops might be reduced, so as to save annually £135,000.
In supplies for the troops £300,000 per annum might be saved.
The clothing sent to the Spanish levies, might have been contracted for, at a cheaper rate, and £100,000 have been saved.
The military exp're in 1806 was £17,514,420; in 1807 15,275,530; in 1808 13,295,539; in 1809 17,490,000.
The whole charge for the collection of the revenue, in the present year, amounts to £2,816,516, one million might be saved by reducing the commissions, &c. to 5 per cent.
The duties levied in Ireland, amount to £5,551,650, and the charge of collecting it, was £528,633, being at the rate of £9, 10 per cent.
A saving of £284,519 might be made in this.
The Post-Office Revenue in Scotland, is collected at an expense of 12 per cent. in the gross.
By abolishing the office of Commissioners for auditing the public accounts, £75,000 per annum would be saved.
That several millions might be saved from the post-office, fortifications, military roads, barracks &c. &c.
It was supposed that £455,000,000 of the public money was unaccounted for, as money was always voted upon general estimates.
PETER V. DANIEL, residing in Richmond, will practice LAW, in the Superior Courts, held in the city; in the Superior Courts of Chesterfield and Hanover, in the county Courts of Henrico and Hanover, and in the hustings Court of Richmond.

WILLIAMSBURG FEMALE ACADEMY.
MR. BLACKBURN, Professor of Mathematics, in the College of William & Mary, and Mr. Plunkett, teacher of Modern Languages, in the same College, inform the public, that they have united for the purpose of establishing an Academy in which young Ladies may receive an Education, calculated at once, to improve & enlarge the understanding, and to ensure the acquisition of those accomplishments, which are not only extremely agreeable in themselves, but which have become essential requisites in polished societies.
It is proposed that the parties shall attend to the duties of the School alternately, as best agreeing with their own views of a correct system of Female Education, and particularly as such an arrangement will prevent all interference with their respective engagements at College. Mr. Blackburn will, on one day, give lessons in Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Composition, Geography and History, according to the progress which each pupil may have made. Should any of these young ladies discover a taste and capacity for further scientific acquirements, he will undertake to conduct them through certain Mathematical, Astronomical and Philosophical branches, which, whilst they cannot fail to strengthen the mental powers, will be rendered so simple, as to make the study highly pleasing and instructive.
On the succeeding day, Mr. Plunkett will teach the French Language, Music, theoretically and practically, Dancing and Drawing. The experience which he has had, and the assiduous and minute attention which he engages to bestow, must secure to his scholars, the acquisition of those accomplishments which give animation to society, as well as grace and dignity to those who possess them.
Parents may be informed of the terms, and have a prospectus of the School, by applying to A. Plunkett, in Williamsburg, or to G. Blackburn at the College.
The Session commenced on the 15th instant. November, 1808.
From our knowledge of the qualifications and assiduity of the gentlemen, who propose to institute and to conduct the WILLIAMSBURG FEMALE ACADEMY, we do, with pleasure, declare our belief that it will afford to young ladies, an opportunity which may be relied upon, of receiving a well conducted, liberal and polite education, and do therefore recommend it to parents, as promising to merit their attention and encouragement. JAMES MADISON, President Wm. and Mary College, JOHN BRACKEN, Hum. Prof. SAMUEL GRIFFIN, T. G. PEACHY, SAMUEL TYLER, JOSEPH PRENTIS. November 18, 1808.
THE School announced in the above advertisement, has been since organized, but at too short a period to be productive of all the advantages which were anticipated; yet, though laboring under this inconvenience, it has vindicated its public utility. Examination, in the departments conducted by Mr. Plunkett, and Mr. Blackburn, held in the presence of respectable and scientific judges, have obtained their decided approbation.
The local advantages of Williamsburg, as a place of Education, for young ladies, are sufficiently known. Mrs. Tyler Anderson, will continue to take boarders.
Two public examinations will be held in each course, viz. in February and in July. Tuition will commence October 15th, & end September 15th, following; but parents who wish to withdraw their children, will be at liberty to terminate the course July 15th. Williamsburg, Sept. 1.
MY motives will, I hope, justify my giving to the public eye, a few extracts from numerous documents, which have long lain neglected, in my possession, owing to my not having found any object which I deemed worthy an appeal of this kind.
GEORGE BLACKBURN. Copy of a letter from Joseph Wilson, esq. the American Consul in Dublin. Permit me now to take the freedom of introducing to you, a gentleman whose worth, when known, will, I am persuaded, interest you in his favor. Mr. George Blackburn wishes to settle in your country, and to procure an establishment in which he may have some part of my family taught by him and have never met with any person more eminently qualified to convey instruction, and to en-
gage the attention and affection of his Pupils. His leaving this city is regretted by many of its most respectable families, as his character has been as unblemished, and his manners as amiable, as his acquirements are extensive.
From the Honorable Col. Napier, the descendant of the illustrious Mathematician of that name. ARMY ACCOUNT OFFICE. DUBLIN, May 5, 1800.
Having always considered talents, combined with industry, and directed by principle, as constituting the true wealth of a state, I cannot but lament your persisting in your intention of abstracting from Ireland that share of each which I know you to possess.
GEORGE NAPIER, Coll. and Comptroller, Army Accounts.
From a character not more dignified by holding the first rank in European life, than by those amiable qualities of the heart, which win, and secure respect and esteem.
Pupils often take a fancy to their teachers, but when I reflect on your success with our five sons, it proves to me past a doubt that you first made them respect and love learning.
That solid acquisition can never be lost to them, for it is interwoven with their affection for you; your advice made a deep impression on their minds, and I do not believe will be eradicated while they live, for quite exclusive of what they may have learned in science, their hearts & tastes accompanied the steps you took to improve their minds.
In proportion to their moral merits, my obligations to you will increase, and I hope you will not fail to preserve their good disposition, by your remembrance of them. Your letters directed to the Duke of Leinster, will be forwarded to my sons wherever they are.
From the hon. Sackville Hamilton, secretary of the Treasury in Ireland. DEAR SIR,
I am very sorry I am not known to any gentleman in America, to whose attention I could recommend you. I would do it with very sincere pleasure from my knowledge of your very extensive acquirements in every branch of Mathematics.
From Doctor Brown, senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, to a member of the American Senate. DEAR SIR,
The bearer of this letter, Mr. Blackburn, is a Mathematician strongly recommended to me by Mr. Sackville Hamilton, a gentleman who has been in important posts under government here; and by Lady Sarah Napier, sister to the Duke of Richmond.
