63d Bulletin of the Grand army. Osterode, February 14.
Captain Auzai of the imperial horse guards, mortally wounded in the battle of Eylau, was lying upon the field of battle. His comrades came to carry him to the hospital. He recovered his senses only to say to them, "Let me alone my friends, I die contented, since we have gained the day, and that I can die upon the bed of honor, surrounded by cannon taken from the enemy and the wrecks of their feet. Tell the emperor that I have but one regret, which is, that in a few moments I shall no longer be able to do any thing for his service and the glory of our fine France - To her my last breath." The emperor made to utter these words, exhausted the little breath he had remaining.
All the reports we receive agree in stating that the enemy lost at the battle of Eylau twenty general & 9000 men killed and wounded, and upwards of 8,000 men disabled.
At the engagement of Ostrolenka of the 16th two Russian generals were killed and three wounded.
His majesty has sent to Paris the sixteen stands of colors taken at the battle of Eylau. All the cannon at Eylau already sent off to Thorn. His majesty has ordered that these cannon shall be melted down and made into a brazen statue of general Davoust, commander of the 2d division of cuirassiers, in his uniform on cuirassier.
The army is concentrated in its cantonments behind the Passarge, with its left supported by Marienwerder the island of Nogat, and Elbing, countries which afford resources.
Being informed that a Russian division had marched towards Braunsberg at the head of our cantonments, the emperor ordered it to be attacked. The prince of Ponte Corvo assigned the expedition to general Dupont, an officer of great merit. On the 26th, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon general Dupont presented himself before Braunsberg attacked the enemy's division 10,000 strong, overthrew it with fixed bayonets, drove it from the town, and made it recross the Passarge, took from it 16 pieces of cannon, 2 stands of colors and made 2000 prisoners. We had very few men killed.
On the side of Gostadt, general Leger Belaire repaired to the village of Peterswade at day break on the 25th, upon receiving advice that a Russian column had arrived during the night at the village, overthrew it, took the general baron de Korff who commanded it, his staff, several lieutenant colonels and officers, and 400 men. This brigade was composed of 10 battalions, which had suffered so much that they formed only 1600 men under arms.
The emperor, in testimony of his satisfaction to gen Savary, for the engagement of Ostrolenka, has granted him the grand insignia of the legion of honor, and called him about his person. His majesty has given the command of the 5th corps to marshal Massena, marshal Lannes continuing to be sick.
At the battle of Eylau, marshal Augereau, overrun with rheumatic pains, was weak and hardly in his senses; but the cannon awakes the brave: he flew in full gallop to the head of his corps, after getting himself tied upon his horse. He was constantly exposed to the greatest fire, and was even slightly wounded. The emperor has just authorized him to return to France, for the purpose of taking care of his health.
The garrison of Zolberg and Dantzig, availing themselves of the little attention paid to them, had encouraged themselves by different exertions. An advanced post of the Italian division was attacked on the 16th, at Stargard, by a party of 800 men, of the garrison of Colberg. Gen. Bonnat had with him only a few companies of the first Italian regiment of the line, which took their arms in time, marched with resolution against the enemy, and routed him.
Gen Teuli, on his side, with the main body of the Italian division, the regiment of musketeers of the guards and the first company of gens d'armes on duty, repaired to invest Colberg. On arriving at Naugarten, he found the enemy intrenched occupying a fort beset with pieces of cannon. Col. Boyer, of the musketeers
of the guards, gave an assault. Captain Montmorency of the company of gens d'armes, made a successful charge. The fort was taken, 300 men made prisoners, and six pieces of cannon carried off. The enemy left 100 men on the field of battle.
General Dombrowski marched against the garrison of Dantzig; he fell in with it at Dirsham, overthrew it, made 600 prisoners, took 7 pieces of cannon, and pursued it for several leagues at its heels. He was wounded with a musket ball. Marshal Lefebvre arrived in the mean time at the command of the 6th corps; he has been joined by the Saxons, and marched to invest Dantzig.
The weather is still changeable: it froze yesterday; it thaws to-day. The whole winter has passed over in this manner. The thermometer has never been lower than 5 degrees.
NEW-YORK, April 29.
BRUTAL MURDER!
By letters received from Albany, we understand there are no hopes entertained of the recovery of general Solomon Van Rensselaer.
An universal gloom pervades the city of Albany, in consequence of this melancholy event; and its inhabitants, whose feelings are divided between sympathy for the situation of general Van Rensselaer, and indignation and horror at the outrages of his antagonists have been with difficulty restrained from violence.
The public are already informed, that the cowardly and cruel attack was made by several Clintonians, among whom were judge Taylor, Dr. Cooper, and Francis Bloodgood friends and relations of De Witt Clinton. They have given him a dangerous wound on the head, and caused his wound, received by him in defence of his country, once more to stream with blood.
Gen. Van Rensselaer was attacked by John Taylor. Not a word had passed on either side. Notwithstanding that Taylor had lain in wait for the general, and was therefore prepared, while the general was taken by surprise, the latter succeeded in parrying every blow of his adversary and would have beat him off, had not Bloodgood and Cooper who were stationed in readiness, came behind the general, and joined in the assassination.
Bloodgood, who is a powerful man, lifted a large hickory stick, in such a manner as to use it with the greatest effect, and struck the general on the back of the head, so as to beat in the skull, and produce a compound fracture, beyond the skill of surgery to relieve. On his falling, Dr. Cooper stamped upon his body, and tore open the wound which he long ago received, but which has never been perfectly cured, in fighting the battles of his country against the Indians. He served under general WAYNE, whose special thanks he once obtained, for leading a most gallant attack. The general's father, who still lives to behold the miserable death of his son, fought by the side of Montgomery.

KINGSTON, April 11.
Information having been received here that the American ship Indostan, of 24 guns, and fully manned, trading to St. Domingo from the U. S. had lately been fallen in with and engaged by, the Squirrel frigate, of 24 guns, which she succeeded in beating off, the Elk brig, of 18 guns, captain Coghlan, sailed on Tuesday, we understand, for the purpose of endeavoring to intercept her, and afterwards to proceed to New Providence.
April 14.
Although Miranda has been obliged to renounce his project of emancipating his countrymen, yet it seems his short visit has excited a spirit there which is likely to produce much trouble to the Spanish government. Letters from Barbadoes mention that an insurrection fomented by a Frenchman, had broken out in the Caraccas; the appearance of which became so alarming, that the Spanish governor sent to Guadalupe for a supply of troops, arms, ammunition, &c. with instructions that they should be landed at the mouth of the river Orinoco. It is possible that this movement might be a ramifications of Miranda's project and concerted to facilitate a fresh descent, either on the part of that enterprising officer, or some other power. We believe there are some French emigrants of condition engaged in Miranda's enterprise, of which the instigator of this insurrection might possibly be one.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New York to a captain in Philadelphia.
"I take the liberty of writing you, in order to acquaint you of a reef which we discovered to the northward of Gaspar Island, it is in lat 1, 56 1.2 or 57 S. by meridian altitude of sun, Gaspar Island bearing from the reef S 10 deg. distant about 10 or 11 leagues, being perfectly clear to the southward, Gaspar Island in sight from the deck, just like a haycock, flattened at the top, and the top of the base or flat part of it, just above the horizon, from the foretop-sail yard - sounded in a boat upon the reef 12 feet, but the clump of coral seemed shoaler, in some places they run their oars down upon them, being cloudy over Eauca, could not get any cross bearings - soundings when passing it 19 to 21 fathoms, the boat had 5 fathoms close to the shore - it appears to be small in two little clumps, extending about 80 fathoms, S.E. by S. and N.W. by N. and about 15 or 20 fathoms broad. Being calm at the time we discovered it, by the current rippling over it, and the quantity of fish swimming about it, must be very dangerous as it will never break upon it, the color of the water only discovers it. I would wish you to make it as public as possible."
BRITISH NAVY - The following is a statement of the distribution of the British naval force up to the 1st of March: At sea 86 sail of the line, 7 ships from 50 to 44 guns, 115 frigates, 152 sloops, and 182 gun brigs and smaller vessels making a total of 542 ships of war. The number in commission is, 135 sail of the line, 13 from 50 to 44 guns, 155 frigates, 152 sloops, &c and 182 gun brigs, making a total at sea and repairing 738.
FROM A LONDON PAPER.
RUSSIA, TURKEY AND FRANCE.
The rupture between Russia and the Porte, or the apprehension rather, that the energetic measures of the former will completely frustrate the views which France has long had towards the Turkish provinces, appears to have much irritated and embarrassed Bonaparte. A meeting of the senate lately took place on the subject, in which a long letter from his majesty the emperor was read. It will be seen by the following extract from it, that nothing less than the complete re-establishment of the French influence at Constantinople, which necessarily excludes that of the court of St. Petersburg, will satisfy him.
Extract. "Who could calculate the duration of the war and the number of campaigns which must be made, to repair the misfortunes which would result from the loss of Constantinople; if he love of cowardly repose, and the pleasures of a mere usurper, should predominate over the suggestions of a wise spirit of precaution. We should then leave to posterity a protracted inheritance of wars & misfortunes. Should the Greek Liava display its triumphant influence from the Baltic to Mediterranean, we should see, even in our time, our provinces attacked by a crowd of fanatics and barbarians; and if, in this too long protracted conflict civilized Europe should perish, our criminal indifference would justly excite the complaints of posterity and would be marked as an opprobrium in the page of history."
"The emperor of Persia, harassed in the interior of his kingdom, as Poland was during a course of sixty years, and as Turkey has been for the last 20 years, and all produced by the policy of the court of St. Petersburg, is animated by the same sentiments as the Porte, has taken the same resolutions, and marches in person to the Caucasus, to defend his frontiers."
"In this state of things peace cannot be durable, unless it guarantees the entire independence of the two great empires; - and if by the unbounded injustice and ambition of our enemies, the war should continue, our people will by their energies, and their love for our person proved themselves worthy of the elevated destinies which will crown our labors, and can alone secure a long and solid peace to close the present season of glory."
GEN. PICTON.
The London Morning Chronicle of the 10th Feb. says. "The privy council we understand have finally pronounced upon the charges lately preferred against general Picton by col. Fullarton, and decided that there is no real ground for the action thus preferred."
At the time that the clerk of the privy council communicated officially to general Picton his majesty's approbation of the report which was laid before him, by the lord
chancellor, on Wednesday the 7th Jan: he said, "that he had it in command from his majesty to signify his injunction, that he should on no account attend to any call of Mr. Fullarton's for personal satisfaction; a command which his majesty thought necessary in consequence of a paragraph in one of Mr. Fullarton's letters to lord Hobart, in which he hinted at his intention of calling upon general Picton, in case he should be acquitted of the charges he had brought forward against him."
General Picton, in consequence, observed, "That he was entitled to no credit for obeying his majesty's commands in that respect, as he had long since regarded Mr. Fullarton as a man degraded by his scandalous, nefarious proceedings, from the rank of a gentleman; and that he never could have consented to disgrace himself by descending to a level with him: But, if his sentiments had been different, he certainly should have obeyed his majesty's commands without hesitation."
Bonaparte promised that his troops should cover themselves with glory, in Poland. Recent advices from that quarter represent them as being covered with mud.

PROOF, Of the good effects of Lee and Sons' Genuine Medicine, shewn by the following cases of cures:
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine, which is as innocent & mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following:
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cures performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with fevers, pain in his side, and a continual head-ache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to sit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of seventeen days.
JOHN KELLEY, Pitt-street.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
My son, five years old, has for some time past been very unhealthy, having fevers, head-ache, and loss of appetite. Hearing of the many cures performed by your Worm Lozenges, I was induced to give them a trial. The effect was beyond my expectation, as a large quantity of small worms was expelled; hundreds of them were alive for some time after.
JOHN KENNEDY, Potter-street.
Baltimore, Jan. 4th, 1807.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
Having observed in the newspaper an advertisement of yours describing the good qualities of your Worm Lozenges, induced me to call at the store of Warner and Hanna, and to make a trial of some of them on a female child of my friend's, who was in my care, which, from her symptoms of disease, viz. sickness, a picking at the nose, offensive breath, and other like circumstances, authorised myself and Mrs. McCormick to determine that worms was the complaint; accordingly a few days since, I made a trial of the medicine, agreeable to the directions, and I am happy to say, that on the third day, afterwards the child evacuated large worms, and other offensive matter, such as to me was astonishing that any human being could have contained—particularly at so early an age as one year and a half old. For the good of society I have much pleasure in mentioning the case, and to observe that the child is now perfectly well, and assumes a healthy appearance. Any other information I shall give with pleasure on application to me, at my house in Frederick-street, near Messrs. Van Wyck and Dorsey's auction room.

United States Court, fifth Circuit and Virginia District.
NOVEMBER TERM, 1806.
John M'Iver, assignee of Josiah Watson, plaintiff—against Bird, Savage and Bird, James Watson, John Watson, jun. James Taylor and Richard M. Scott, defendants.
THIS cause was this day heard on the bill, answers, replications thereto, exhibits, and the proceedings in the suit lately depending in this court, between Robert Bird, against Josiah Watson and John Love, and was argued by counsel. On consideration whereof the court not now deciding on the respective claims of the parties to the lands in the proceedings mentioned, doth adjudge, order and decree, that the marshal of this district, or one of his lawful deputies, (after having advertised the time and place of such sale for five weeks successively in one or more newspapers printed in the town of Alexandria and city of Washington) do expose to sale, at public auction, the tract of land in the proceedings mentioned, called Buckland , either altogether or in parcels as the parties may agree; or in case of their disagreement, in the way he may think will most enhance the price thereof upon the following terms, to wit—One-fifth part of the purchase money agreed to be paid therefor, to be in cash, and the balance in four equal annual payments, bearing interest from the date if not punctually paid, taking bonds with sufficient securities from the purchaser or purchasers, payable to the marshal for the use of such of the parties to this sale, and the sale aforesaid, as may hereafter be adjudged entitled thereto, and retaining the title to the said lands as security for the payment of the said annual instalments, and in case default be made in the said payments, or either of them that shall fall due that the said tract of land, or the lot or lots for which the payments shall not have been made according to the tenor of the sale, be set up for public sale by the marshal, for ready money, after the time and place of such sale shall have been advertised in manner as aforesaid and the proceeds of sale to be applied to the discharge of the sums remaining due on the purchase of the said tract of land, or the lot or lots so to be sold, and the surplus, if any, to be paid to the original purchaser. And if the parties shall prefer the said tracts of land being sold in two or more lots, or the marshal or his deputy who may act, shall be of opinion in case of their disagreement, that the value of the said tract of land will be enhanced by a division thereof, the court doth direct that he have the same divided into as many lots as the parties shall agree on, or he think best, by the surveyor of the county of Fauquier, and sell the same so divided, and that he bring the said bonds and pay the money so to be received in cash at the sale, after having defrayed the expences thereof and of the division if any shall be made into court, subject to its future order, and the marshal is directed to report his proceedings to the court; and the court doth further order and decree, that the defendants, trustees for Mrs. Watson, be permitted to reap and carry off the now growing crop from the said lands, and that the marshal sell the same, subject to that privilege, and this is to be without prejudice to any suit that Robert Bird, Bird, Savage and Bird, may hereafter bring claiming the profits of the said lands, against the said defendants, trustees as aforesaid.
A copy. Test.
