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

THE WAR IN AUSTRIA.
Every day of the present week has brought important tidings from the continent of Europe. Indeed such has been the rapid succession of arrivals, the rich harvest of news, that scarcely time or room has been allowed for comment. Nor is editorial remark necessary, to shew the reader of discernment that Bonaparte's affairs were at latest dates most critical. His own bulletins are sufficiently indicative of a serious reverse of fortune. These bulletins acknowledge that he has been sorely beaten, that his "grand army," has been defeated in a grand and bloody battle, and its "grand master" compelled to fly in dismay, leaving the field and many of his favorite officers to the care of the Conqueror of Napoleon. By the French accounts themselves, with all their gasconade and exaggerations, we are well informed that Charles, the hero of the Danube, conquered the mighty Napoleon, in a pitched battle, where the narrator does not complain that he was outnumbered. But as this battle and its effects have been somewhat clouded by the sophistry of several scribblers attached to the fortunes of France, and as some readers may have been deluded by those idolators who abound in our seaports and whose business it is, to worship the Great Emperor, a remark or two at this time may not be useless or unacceptible.
On the 21st and 22d May, the battle was fought on the north bank of the Danube, in which the Austrians not only checked the progress of the French, but beat them back; for Bonaparte tells you that he "concentrated," i. e. he retreated, with his shattered remnants to the island and to the south side of that river. In the Austrian bulletin you see it termed a great and decisive victory; in the French tenth and subsequent bulletins you find acknowledged the loss of some thousands on the field, and many prisoners. Since the 10th Bonaparte has issued 6 other bulletins; in no one of which does he speak of the brilliant exploits or achievements of any single officer or corps in the battle. Heretofore, two or three bulletins after a great battle were filled with details of this kind, in which he mentions the merits of his officers, down to colonels and subalterns. Is not the inference from his present silence obvious? He cannot speak of them but to his own disadvantage. Of Berthier, Massena, Bessieres, Molitor, Legrand, Oudinot, Nansouty, or their divisions, which were in the battle, we hear nothing. We hear that Lasnes (Duke of Montebello) died of his wounds; Douret, Despaigne, Hillaire, Boudet, Foulers, &c. are said to be killed, wounded or taken. Why not mention the others; because their loss is more serious; and it would not answer to let the people of France and the enslaved "allies" know, that he has sustained so signal a defeat. He does say that great preparations are making; that the prince of Ponte Corvo and duke of Dantzic are making forced marches to join him. No doubt their presence is very necessary; for the victorious Charles and his brave Austrians are in sight of Bonaparte's head quarters, Ebersdorff 8 or 10 miles from Vienna; and indeed he says an Austrian division of 9000 men has had the temerity to cross the river.
On the whole, seeing that insurrections menace him, in the north, in Italy, and even in La Vendee, (France) and that by one defeat he is proved not "invincible," it is certain that the situation of the French army is very critical; and if not joined by Russia its destruction quite probable. On the other hand, should Russia have blindly associated herself with France, then we have, indeed, little hope for the liberties of the world.

TENTH BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH ARMY.
EBERSDORFF, May 23.
After describing the form of the Danube at Ebersdorff, the Bulletin states, that on the night of the 20th, the emperor crossed the Danube, accompanied by Berthier, Massena, and Lasnes. They took a position on the 21st, on the left bank, the right
wing was at the village of Essling, and the left at Grossispren; both these villages were taken. At four in the afternoon, on the 21st, the enemy shewed themselves, and attempted to drive our advanced guard into the river. Vain attempt!
The duke of Rivoli was first attacked at Grossispren, by Bellegarde. He manœuvred with Molitor's and Legrand's divisions, and rendered all their attacks abortive. The duke of Montebello defended Essling. The duke of Istria covered the flank with cavalry. The action was severe. The enemy having 200 cannon and 90,000 men, being the remains of their armies.
General D'Espaigne divided his corps in squares, but he was killed with a musket ball at the head of his troops, and general Foulers was also killed. General Nansouty arrived in the evening on the field of battle, and distinguished himself highly. At eight in the evening the battle ended, and we remained masters of the field. During the night Oudinot's corps, Hillaire's division, and two brigades of cavalry crossed from the right bank to the left. On the 21st, at four, P. M. the duke of Rivoli was engaged with the enemy, who made several successive attacks on the village; but Rivoli at last completely defeated them. The enemy occupying a large space between the right and left wings, we took the resolution of penetrating their centre. The duke of Montebello headed the charge. Oudinot was on the left, St. Hillaire in the centre, and Boudet on the right. The centre of the enemy could not withstand us; in a moment all was overthrown.
The duke of Istria made several fine charges. It seemed all over with the Austrian army, when at 7 in the morning, an aid-de-camp of the emperor came to inform him that the rising of the Danube had drifted a great number of trees and booms, which in consequence of the events at Vienna, had been cut down and laid on the bank, and that they had broken down the bridges which communicated from the right bank with the little island and with the island In-der-Lobau.
All the reserve corps which were advancing were upon the right bank, as also part of our heavy cavalry and all Auerstad's corps. In consequence of this shocking accident the emperor resolved to stop the troops from advancing. He ordered the duke of Montebello to stop on the field of battle and take his position with the left wing against a curtain which the duke of Rivoli covered, and his right wing at Essling. The cannon, infantry, and cartridges which belonged to our parks, could not be brought over. The enemy was in the greatest disorder just at the moment when he learnt our bridges had been broken down. The slackening of our fire, and the concentrating of our army left him no doubt respecting the unforeseen accident that had happened. All his cannon and artillery equipment were again brought in line, and from nine A. M. till seven P. M. he had made the greatest efforts, supported by 200 cannon, to overthrow the French army; but all his efforts turned only to his discomfiture. Three times he attacked the villages, and three times he filled them with his dead. The enemy resumed the position which they had left before the attack began, and we remained masters of the field of battle. Their loss has been great. Prisoners who have been taken say, that they lost 23 general and 60 superior officers. Marshal Webber and 1500 prisoners are in our hands. Our loss has also been very considerable; 1100 killed and 3000 wounded. The duke of Montebello, (Lasnes) was wounded by a cannon ball in the thigh, on the 22d, in the evening. Gen. Hillaire is also wounded. General Durosel was killed. The waters of the Danube did not permit the bridges to be rebuilt during the night, and the emperor ordered the army to pass the little arm from the left bank, and to take a position on the island of In-der-Lobau. We are laboring to replace the bridges, and nothing will be undertaken till they are replaced.
[In addition to these particulars a great part of the bulletin consists of a sentimental description of the interview between Lasnes and Bonaparte, at a time when the marshal's wound was thought to be mortal, in which, of course, the duke of Montebello manifested all possible heroism, and evinced the greatest readiness to die for his emperor; and that the emperor was melted into tears.
The bulletin has, however, other passages from which some inferences may be drawn, as to the extent of the loss sustained by the French. Bonaparte it is said, boasts that the retreat was well conducted, though 200 pieces of cannon were played upon them, which they could not answer, during which 40,000 rounds of shot were fired amongst them. Bonaparte promises to repair his loss, and declares his intention not
to renew the attack till his force is concentrated, and better prepared. He allows the Austrian army to have been well furnished and equipped on the occasion.]
ELEVENTH BULLETIN.
EBERSDORFF, May 24.
The duke of Dantzic entered Inspruck the 19th. On the 11th he had taken seven cannon and 600 men at Strub-Pass. On the 13th he routed Chasteler at Voergel. General Duro having raised the siege of the fortress of Kussstein joined the duke. Chasteler had entered the Tyrol with a few wretches, disseminating revolt and assassination. Several thousand Bavarians and one hundred Frenchmen (including 60 Belgians, Chasteler's countrymen) have fallen a sacrifice to the ferocity of those bears of the mountains, which his discourses excited. This wretch owed the possession of his estate of some millions to the beneficence of the emperor! The Tyrolese execrate those who have excited them to this destructive rebellion. Their rage against Chasteler, when he retreated, nearly cost him his life. The valley of Zillerthal submitted first. Inspruck and all the circles have sent deputations to his majesty the king of Bavaria, vowing allegiance, and imploring his clemency.
Toralberg, instigated to tumult by incendiary proclamations, will imitate Tyrol, and this part of Germany will be snatched from the horrors and crimes of popular insurrections.
COMBAT OF URFAR.
On the 17th of this month, at 2 P. M. 3 Austrian columns, commanded by Bucalowitz and Soumariva, supported by a reserve corps under Jellalich, attacked Vandamme, at Urfar, in front of the bridge of Lintz. The prince of Ponte Corvo came up immediately with the cavalry and the 1st brigade of Saxon infantry. Vandamme with the Wirtemberg troops, 4 squadrons of Saxon hussars and dragoons, repulsed with spirit the two first columns of the enemy, drove them from their positions, took 6 pieces of cannon, and 400 men, and routed them. The enemy's third column appeared on the heights of Boslingberg at 7 P. M. and their infantry immediately covered the top of the mountain. They were attacked by the Saxon infantry and driven from their posts with the loss of 300 men and several waggons of ammunition. The enemy retreated in disorder to Freystadt and Haalach. The hussars sent after them took many prisoners, arms and ammunition. The enemy lost 2000 killed and wounded besides prisoners: our loss does not amount to 400.
TWELFTH BULLETIN.
EBERSDORFF, May 26.
This speaks of the repair of bridges on the Danube. The rise of the river was expected to continue till the middle of June, to measure the height of which, the French were preparing to drive a line of piles, to which to attach an immense chain of iron, which the Austrians had taken from the Turks. By these means, and by the aid of fortifications they expected to be able to manœuvre on both banks of the river. Their light horse was opposite Presburg. General Lauriston was in Styria. The duke of Dantzic was about joining the army near Vienna, by forced marches—several corps had arrived. The prisoners, since the capitulation of Vienna, are 7 field marshal lieutenants, 9 major-generals, 10 colonels, 20 majors and lieutenant colonels, 100 captains, 350 subalterns, 2000 non-commissioned officers and privates, besides several thousand at the hospitals.
THIRTEENTH BULLETIN.
EBERSDORFF, May 28, 1809.
On the night of the 26th, our bridges were carried away by the force of the waters, and mills which had been set afloat. We had not time to drive the piles and to fix the great iron chain. One bridge is repaired, another will be to-morrow. On the 27th, we heard of the arrival of the army of Italy at Bruck. General Lauriston has formed a junction with his army, not having heard from them for 12 days. The viceroy this campaign has manifested a sang froid and a foresight which evince the great commander. Jellalich, who by his insolent proclamation to the Tyrolese so inflamed their passions, has had his whole corps destroyed. The archduke John, who wrote with such excessive presumption to the duke of Ragusa, evacuated Gratz, yesterday, scarcely carrying with him 20 or 25000 men of the fine army that entered Italy—his arrogance has terminated in shame and infamy. The people of Italy accompanied our soldiers with tears and benedictions and
gave them every assistance. Their contempt and hatred of the archduke John was only equalled by their joy at our triumphal approach. Certain papers showed that they bore a great love to the emperor, and would not accept offices under the Austrian government.
The regiments of Italy who distinguished themselves in Poland, covered themselves with glory. The charming country is rapidly progressing to the most happy destinies. All the accounts from the Austrian army state their loss on the 21st and 22d has been enormous; the flower of their army perished. The wits of Vienna say "Gen. Danube saved the Austrian army." Tyrol and Voltaberg are subjugated. Styria, Styria, Carinthia, Salzburg, Upper and Lower Austria, are tranquilized and disarmed.
While Trieste was taken possession of all English colonial produce was confiscated. Saving the Russian squadron was a circumstance peculiarly agreeable to the emperor. The junction of the army of Dalmatia approaches.
The brigand Schill, who truly gives himself the title of general in the service of England, who prostitutes the name of king of Prussia, as the satellites of England do that of Ferdinand, has been driven to an island in the Elbe. The king of Westphalia, besides 15 thousand native troops, has one Dutch and one French division added to this two divisions of a corps of observation, under Riband and Despeaux, Beaumont's 3000 cavalry, now disposed by the pacification of Swabia.
The destruction of 40 mills which supplied the city of Vienna with bread, is evidence of the hatred of the princes, of the house of Lorraine to that city!!
FOURTEENTH BULLETIN.
EBERSDORFF, June 1, 1809.
The bridges on the Danube are entirely rebuilt. They have added to them a flying bridge, and they are preparing all the materials necessary for throwing over another bridge of rafts. Seven machines are driving piles; but the Danube being in several places 24 and 26 feet deep, much time is always taken up in fixing the anchors, the machines are removed. The work however are advancing, and will shortly be finished.
The brigadier general of engineers, Lzowski, is working on the left bank on the head of a bridge which will be 100 toises in extent, and will be covered with a good ditch, filled with running water.
The 44th crew of the flotilla of Boulogne, commanded by captain Basté, has arrived. A great number of boats cruise about the islands, cover the bridge, and render a variety of services.
The battalion of navy workmen is employed in making small armed vessels which will serve to command the river perfectly.
After the defeat of the corps of gen. Jellalich, M. Mathieu, an officer attached to the staff of the army of Italy, was sent with a dragoon express on the road to Salzburg, having met in succession with a column of 650 troops of the line, and a column of 2000 Landwehrs who were wounded and straggling, summoned them to surrender, and they laid down their arms.
Lauriston, general of division, arrived at Oldenburg, the first country of Hungary with a strong guard. It appears that there is some commotion in Hungary, that the minds of the people are very much divided, and that the majority is not in favor of Austria.
Lassel, general of division, has his head quarters opposite Presburg, and near Raab.
Three divisions of the army of Italy have arrived at Neustadt. The viceroy has been for two days at the head-quarters of the emperor.
Gen. Macdonald, commander of one of the corps of the army of Italy has entered Gratz. They found in this capital of Styria immense magazines of provisions and clothing and equipments of every sort.
The duke of Dantzick is at Lintz. The prince of Ponte Corvo (Berthier) is marching for Vienna. Vandamme, general of division, with the Wurtembergers, is at Saint Polten, Mautern and Krems.
Tranquillity prevails in the Tyrol. Off the movements of the duke of Dantzic and of the army of Italy, all the Austrians, who had imprudently engaged at this point, have been destroyed, partly by the duke of Dantzic, and the rest such as the corps of Jellalich, by the army of Italy. Those who were in Suabia had no other resource but to attempt in parties to traverse Germany on their way to the Upper Palatinate. They formed a small column of infantry and cavalry who escaped from Lintz and was met by col. Reiter, of general

Beaumonts corps of observation. The column was cut off at Neumark, and the whole body of officers and soldiers laid down their arms.
Vienna is quiet; bread and wine are abundant, but meat, which this capital gets from the interior of Hungary, begins to grow scarce. Contrary to all reasons of policy and humanity, the enemy do every thing to starve their countrymen, and this city, which contains their wives and children. This conduct is very different from that of our Henry IV, who himself supplied an enemy's city he was besieging.
The duke of Montebello, (Lasnes) died yesterday at 5 o'clock in the morning. Some time before the emperor conversed an hour with him. His majesty sent, by gen. Rapp his aide-de-camp, for Dr. Franc, one of the most celebrated physicians in Europe. His wounds were in good condition; but abad fever had made the most injurious progress in a few hours. All the aid of the art was unavailing. His majesty ordered the body of the duke of Montebello to be embalmed, and carried to France, to receive the honors due to his high rank and eminent services. Thus has departed one of the most distinguished soldiers that France has had. In the numerous battles he had been in, he had received 13 wounds. The emperor has shown great sensibility on this loss, which will be felt by all Frenchmen.
FIFTEENTH BULLETIN.
EBERSDORF, June 2.
The army of Dalmatia has gained the greatest success. It has defeated every thing that opposed it at Moni-Kitta, Gradatz, Lieen and Ottachatz. The commander in chief Sloissevich was taken.
The duke of Ragusa arrived on the 28th [May] at Fiume and formed a junction with the grand army of which the army of Dalmatia was the right extreme. We will make known the relation of the duke Ragusa on these events.
On the 28th an English squadron of four ships of the line, two frigates and a brig appeared before Trieste, with the intention of taking the Russian squadron. The general count Cafferelli had just arrived there. As the city had no cannon, the Russians landed 24 thirty sixes and 16 twenty fours, and fixed them in battery and immediately clapped springs on their cables. Every thing was prepared to receive the enemy, who having missed his aim retired. One thousand Austrians who had passed from Crens to the right bank of the Danube were defeated by the Wirtemberg corps, who made 60 prisoners.
SIXTEENTH BULLETIN.
EBERSDORF, June 4.
The enemy had thrown a division of 9000 men on the right bank of the Danube, opposite Presburg, which was entrenched in the village of Engerau. The duke of Auerstadt ordered the riflemen [tirailleurs] of Hesse Darmstadt, supported by the 12th of the line (infantry) to attack it yesterday. The village was soon carried. A major, 8 officers of the regiment of Beaulieu (among them the grandson of that field marshal) and 400 men were taken. The rest of the regiment were killed, wounded or driven into the water. The remainder of the division secured themselves in an island till they could repass the river. The riflemen of Hesse Darmstadt fought well.
The viceroy's head quarters are this day at Odenburg.
The most valuable effects of the court, have been removed from Bude to Peterawadin, whither the empress is retired.
The duke of Ragusa is arrived at Laybach.
Gen. Macdonald is master of Gratz. He is surrounding the citadel, which makes a show of resistance.
At the battle of Essling the brigadier Poulers, being wounded was thrown from his horse; and major general Durosnel, one of the emperor's aids, while carrying orders to a division of cuirassiers who were charging, was also thrown. We have the satisfaction of learning that these two generals and 150 men that were supposed lost, are only wounded, and were found in the field, when the emperor gave orders to concentrate between Essling and Gross-Aspern, on hearing that the bridges of the Danube had been given way.
The Danube is lowering; though from the continuation of the heats, a rise is feared.
From the army of the grand duchy of Warsaw.
After the capture of the bridge of Gora, the enemy having abandoned the right bank of the Vistula, the army under the command of prince Poniatowski was divided into two columns: the first ascending the Vis-
tula to Pulawy, the other marching to Kock, on the 14th Poniatowski entered Lublin, and the next day marched towards Sandomia. Part of the army entered Pizersworski and cut off the communication between Lemberg and Cracow.
Gen. Rozniceck, with 400 cavalry took 710 prisoners, comprising a major, and 9 other officers; also sundry arms, shoes and clothing.
Poniatowski succeeded in an attack on Sandomir which was strongly fortified. The enemy lost 1000 men killed, 1200 prisoners, 20 cannon and considerable stores. Poniatowski's cavalry extending to Leopold is pushing on to Cracow. They have set free 3000 men who had been insisted by force.
The Galicians daily testify the hatred they bear the Austrians. Gen. Dombrowski has every where repulsed the enemy on the lower Vistula.
On the 14th, Thorn was attacked. The tete-de-pont was not in a state of defence. The garrison burnt that part of the bridge which communicated with it and took position on the island. This movement was made after an affair very destructive to the enemy, who not being able to pass the river, gave up the enterprise when he saw the good appearance of the city.
On the 15th the enemy under Plock attempted the passage of the Vistula, but were repulsed and obliged to burn their boats.
From the 19th to the 23d gen. Dombrowski attacked the enemy between Bromberg and Czutochow and repulsed him with effect before Bromberg, afforded full protection to Czutochow and Thorn, and secured the communication of this latter place with Inovraclaw.
GOTTENBURG, 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 ports shall be shut against England—the whole proposition having been rejected, is the cause of the recommencement 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 Bothnea for the passage of heavy artillery. The official account of the Russians having entered Tornea, arrived this morning.

On Sunday last arrived in Hampton Roads, his Britannic majesty's brig Contest, lieut. Gregorie, in 8 weeks from England, with dispatches for Mr. Erskine. There were landed from her, we understand, upwards of 1200 letters for different parts of the continent. She proceeded up the bay the next morning.

View of the Seat of War near Vienna.
Opposite Ebersdorf the Danube is divided into three arms, separated by two islands. From the right bank to the first island it is 240 toises (fathoms) wide; this island is nearly 1000 toises in circumference. From this island to the great island where runs the principal current, the channel is 120 toises wide. The great island called Inder Lobau , is 7000 toises in circumference, and the channel by which it is divided from the main land is 70 toises wide. The first contiguous villages are Great Aspern, Essling & Ebersdorf. The passage of a river like the Danube, before an enemy who has a perfect knowledge of its localities, and who has the inhabitants of the country on his side, is one of the greatest operations of war of which it is possible to conceive.
The bridge from the right bank to the first island, and that from the first island to In-der-Lobau , were erected on the 19th May, and on the 18th Molitor's division had been carried in row-boats into the great island.
On the 20th, the emperor passed to this island and caused a bridge to be erected over to the last arm of the river, between Great Aspern and Essling. This arm being only 70 toises wide, the bridge required only 15 pontoons, and was thrown across in three hours by col. Aubrey of the artillery.

One of Captain D's. men died on board through ill usage, and the rest were left sick—he had been imprisoned, but were released on the 14th June.
The British government brig Contest, arrived at Annapolis on Tuesday last, in a long passage from England with DESPATCHES.

A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED
ABAELLINO,
THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. G.
Lewis, the well known author of the Castle
Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha &c. &c. Price,
handsomely bound, one dollar—the English
edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend?
What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid?
Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal,
And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil—
Avaunt, thou dreadful Minister of Hell.
RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we
need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic
piece, which for several seasons past drew
such full houses to our theatre, is founded on
the same subject, as translated by Dunlap;
but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's
writings or translations in the Romance style,
being so far superior to any other of our modern
authors, leaves encomium unnecessary
with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were
sold in a very short time, after publication in
London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira,
by Lewis.
