We publish the following without any remarks at present, because the Foreign Intelligence more demands our attention; but we must not be supposed as agreeing with the sentiments and circumstances which are therein stated, on the contrary we enter our dissent to both, for reasons that will be hereafter stated.
FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
The robber is generally the first to cry out "stop thief." This is an adage almost as old as the world, and may be considered as illustrating a native propensity of vice.
How happily does this maxim, politically applied, suit the present times! The opponents of the administration charge the republicans with a desire to embroil the country in the complicated horrors of a war with England—Why? Because the republicans have any such desire? No; but because they themselves hope under this calumny to cover their efforts to embroil their country in a war with France. This is their object; to effect which their measures have been steady, persevering, strenuous.
The era at which their labours to attain this end commenced covers their motives with a blaze of light that, properly improved, must dissipate all obscurity. That era was the French revolution. It was at that illustrious period, when a nation of twenty-five millions of human beings broke their fetters and asserted the dignity of freemen, that a deadly hatred was engendered, which has sustained no abatement even to the present day. Whence this hatred? From an injury which we had then received from France? No one pretends it. From any danger with which she then menaced us? So far from this, she was then the object of commiseration instead of terror. No, it is not to these motives that this hatred is to be ascribed; but to the obstacle which that revolution threatened to raise to the gay and splendid hopes of political aggrandizement that danced in no distant perspective before the enraptured view of a set of men, who from the beginning of the world have considered themselves as the legitimate rulers of nations. To this bright vision of anticipated honours the revolution, if successful, threatened a total dissolution. It was then that this body of men took their ground, from which they would have been driven with disgrace but for the untoward events that followed.
But a short time elapsed before England joined the confederacy, and this instantly produced a new accession of strength in this country to the hatred of France. Before this period the enemies of the revolution were few and silent; this event at once added greatly to their number and emboldened the timid. British influence was instantly exerted, in all its extensive ramifications, through almost every fibre of the community. It embodied into a phalanx old Tories, English agents, aristocrats or monarchists in principle, merchants indebted in England, or those in the receipt of favours from her. This body of men, living for the most part in our towns, rich, intelligent, active and restless, for a time gave a tone to their politics and manners from which, indeed they have not yet completely recovered. This tone was extended into the country and reached even the government itself.
England had been the first to violate our maritime rights. She had no sooner formed a treaty of peace, pledging herself to respect our rights as an independent nation, which she had acknowledged us to be, than she commenced a career of injustice towards us, retaining the possession of our forts and territory, instigating the savages to the most merciless warfare, and preying upon our defenceless trade on the ocean. This scene of iniquity continued until the celebrated treaty negotiated by Jay. At the very moment when that treaty was on the eve of ratification and after its signature by the plenipotentiaries of the two governments, she issued her provision orders, which without notice swept the ocean of at least a moiety of our merchant vessels. During all this time, what was the conduct of France towards us? She had then a powerful marine floating on the ocean and contending with England for its empire. Did she seize our vessels with notice, much less without notice? No. Having stipulated with us for the liberal principle, that free ships should make free goods, she long continued to adhere to this term, although deeply prejudiced by its operation. A recurrence to official documents will establish these positions, and prove that, during the earlier periods of general Washington's administration, while the conduct of England towards us was the topic of indignant complaint, that of France was, in the main, the subject of approbation. Excesses and even outrages were committed by her cruisers, but they were soon acknowledged and reparation made for them.
About the close of general Washington's administration the scene changed, and France, guided by erroneous counsels, listened to the intemperate dictates of revenge. She perceived, or fancied that she perceived, the poison of British influence diffusing itself over the whole surface of our country. With this influence she identified a mortal hatred to herself. The example of England, which she had beheld with horror, she now herself imitated, and under the hollow pretext of retaliation, committed an extensive pillage of our vessels. The attitude, which the American nation took on that occasion, was honorable; the sentiments it inspired were worthy of an independent nation. France had injured us, and resistance became a holy duty. The virtue and spirit of the people dictated resistance, and we did resist. But mark the tone and conduct of that class of people, who now, as they have long been, are attentively by open or insidious means promoting hostilities with France. Look at the public prints of those days, peruse the speeches of great senators and flippant representatives, attend to language of the secretary of state intoxicated with power and elevation, listen to the intemperate strains of president Adams himself; and say whether the honest terror of the times was not exacerbated and envenomed by the most disgraceful hatred of France, and say whether this hatred did not spring from partiality to England, and antipathy to the system of equal rights, whose security was the object, although unfortunately it was not the result of the French revolution. I would, says senator Tracy, "arm every man, woman, and child
in America, against every man, woman and child in France."
Pickering, (blush, Americans, for the national degradation) in a state paper, alluding to the French, exclaims "the tyger crouches before he springs on his prey," and President Adams himself, notwithstanding his incorruptible honesty, condescends to use language in the highest degree unworthy of his exalted station. By these means, the national sentiment was literally converted into a whirlwind, and menaced, in its raging intolerance, to sweep before it every barrier of Liberty. Alien and sedition laws were framed, the cockade of terror was mounted, mobs were embodied, a vindictive denunciation pervaded every corner of the country and silenced freedom of speech, and the reign of terror, as it was not more emphatically than truly styled, was in full triumph. British Tories and American Aristocrats exulted in the conviction that they had gained their darling object. But they were mistaken. It was reserved for the virtue of President Adams, alarmed at the snares laid for it, and probably appalled at the precipice to which he had unwarily drawn the liberties of his country, to re-occupy independent ground, and in the very teeth of his confidential counsellors, to heal the rupture with France. If these facts are not sufficient to prove the existence of the party we have portrayed, look at the treatment of this quondam favourite from that memorable era. Hamilton was the first to attempt to write him down with his colossal pen, since which he has had the full contents of the vial of federal wrath showered down upon him. A liberal and reciprocal treaty, in all its parts, was formed with France. How was it received in this country? What universal approbation by the republicans; but with distrust and opposition by the party we are portraying. Every republican member in the Senate voted for, while a large number of the federal members voted against its ratification, although it was negotiated by Messrs. Elsworth, Davie and Murray, three distinguished federalists. Can there be a stronger argument, to prove the earnest desire of a portion of the federal party, at all events, to have war with France?
For six years from this era, our affairs with France were undisturbed, and she even admitted us to an enjoyment, almost without restraint, of her colonial trade. This is not specified as a favour done by her to us. One nation ought never to expect a favour from another. All that we have ever demanded, or expected, has been justice. But France had the wisdom to perceive her true interests, and not to forego them from an idle jealousy or criminal enmity to us.
Did we at this period experience the same liberal treatment from England? On the contrary, it was during this period, that above three thousand of our seamen were impressed, that Pierce was murdered at our very doors, and that successive orders of council were issued legalizing an iniquitous spoliation and seizure of our goods and vessels. It was thus that injury followed close upon injury, until our merchants, those meek and patient souls, even they called upon the government in the most clamorous strains for its energetic interposition. At their call it did interpose and sent a special mission to London. Still, however our wrongs remained unredressed, our rights, our interests, and our character continued to bleed at every pore.
It was now that France, unjustly and weakly, we admit, resolved to treat us in the same way we had been so long treated by England; and forthwith launched those decrees against our trade which still endure as a moment of her folly, inflicting still greater injury upon herself than upon either us or her enemy.
These new occurrences ought to have established a new era in national sentiment. We should as one man, have resolved to resist both English orders and French decrees. We should have silenced the apologists of either. We should have rejected with disdain the plea of retaliation, as totally inapplicable to us, however applicable to each other. We should have rallied round our government as our only shield against danger, and, imitating the virtues of our forefathers, have resolved to endure every privation of interest eventually to secure our rights and maintain our honour un tarnished. Was this universally done by us? No; and herein is found another illustration, vivid as a sun-beam. The republicans supported their government in its impartial measures, although those measures are generally allowed to have operated even more injuriously on France than England, and were more sensibly felt by the republican than the federal sections of the union. But did the party we are denouncing, act with the same patriotism? No. They began with traducing the motives, and ended with opposing, even by physical force, the measures adopted; they took part with, and even played into the hands of the common enemy.
Mr. Madison was called to the presidency, and one of his first acts was the arrangement entered into by Mr. Erskine on the part of the British government. This agreement fully restored our amity with England, and threatened our peace with France. The party, we are portraying, as might be expected, extolled it and the new president to the skies. The republicans were equally warm in the expressions of their approbation, and demonstrated to the satisfaction of every reasonable man, their stern justice and total exemption from the French influence ascribed to them. And notwithstanding the disavowal of the British government, it is a most fortunate circumstance that the arrangement with Mr. Erskine was made. It has proved to the satisfaction of every man, whose esteem is desirable, that our government, and the great body of those on whom they must rely for support, are devoted to the true interests of the nation, and see those interests neither through the jaundiced medium of French or British attachments.
On taking this review, we are no longer surprised at the change which has recently taken place in public opinion. The delusion, which had before extensively prevailed, is dissipated. The honest portion of the federal party, superior in numbers and talents to the residue, have awakened as from a dream, and appear determined to shake off their connection with their unworthy associates.
They have justly become alarmed for their reputation. They have realised their total degradation and ruin, if they continue to unite their destinies with them. Having suffered themselves to pause, to reflect, and judge for themselves, their native American feelings have revived, and they have patriotically resolved to support their government so long as its measures are just and honourable. We rejoice to behold this temper, and we trust it will
endure, that foreign nations may learn that whatever is respectable among us will be embarked as in a common cause against their injustice.
As to the republicans of the United States, they are the last to wish a war with England, so long as it is not forced upon us by her wrongs. What can they gain by such a war? Not the government; for they possess it already. Not the increased prosperity of the country, in which, being at least three-fourths of the whole nation, they are most deeply interested; for they know that war, however it may terminate, is always injurious. Not an accession of liberty; they are satisfied with that they possess. Not a subversion of the constitution; they would defend it with their blood. 'No.' By war they know they have nothing to gain. Their power, the popularity of their government, its revenue, their liberties, all make the preservation of peace to them an inestimable object. Nothing can induce them to jeopardize it but the good of their country; and when that shall imperiously require it, is there an American base enough to say, that it ought not to be hazarded?

Monday, August 7.
Downing-Street, August 7.
Dispatches, of which the following are copies, were last night received at the office of lord Viscount Castlereagh, one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state, from lieut. general the earl of Chatham, dated Middelburgh, 2d and 3d, August.
Head Quarters, Middelburgh, 2d August, 1809.
MY LORD, I have the honour of acquainting your lordship, that having sailed from the Downs early in the morning of the 28th ult. with rear admiral sir Richard Strachan, in his majesty's ship Venerable, we arrived the same evening, and anchored in East Capelle Roads, and were joined on the following morning by the division of the army under lieut. general sir John Hope. It blew in the course of that day a fresh gale from the westward, which created a heavy swell, and the small craft being much exposed, it was determined to seek shelter for them in the anchorage of the Room Pot, where lieut. gen. John Hope's division was also directed to proceed, in order to possess such points as might be necessary to secure the anchorage; as well as with a view to future operations up the East Scheldt.
The left wing of the army under lieut. general sir Eyre Coote, particularly destined for the operation against Walcheren, arrived on the 29th and morning of the 30th—but the wind continued to blow fresh from the westward, and occasioning a great surf on the beach, both on the side of Zoutland, as well as near Demsbury, it became expedient, in order to effect a landing, to carry the whole fleet through the narrow and difficult passage into the Veer Gat, hitherto considered impracticable for large ships; which being successfully accomplished, and the necessary preparations for disembarkation being completed, I have the satisfaction of acquainting your lordship, that the troops landed on the Beesand about a mile to the westward of Fort der Haak, without opposition, when a position was taken up for the night on the Sand Hills, with East Capelle in front. Lieut. gen. Fraser was detached immediately to the left against Fort der Haak and Ter Vere, the former of which on his approach was evacuated by the enemy, but the town of Vere, which was strong in its defences, and had a garrison of about 600 men, held out till yesterday morning, notwithstanding the heavy and well directed fire of the bomb vessels and gun boats during the preceding day, and until the place was closely invested.
Early on the morning of the 31st, a deputation from Middelburgh, from whence the garrison had been withdrawn into Flushing, having arrived in camp, terms of capitulation were agreed upon—copies of which I have the honour herewith to enclose as well as that of the garrison of Ter Vere; and the divisions of the army, under the orders of lieut. general lord Paget, and major general Graham, moved forward, and took up a position with the right to Mahiskirke, the centre at Gryperskirke, and left to St. Laurens.
On the morning of the 1st inst. the troops advanced to the investment of Flushing, which operation was warmly contested by the enemy. In this movement he was driven by major general Graham's division on the right, from the batteries of Dykeshoek, the Vygeter, and the Nole, while brigadier gen. Houston's brigade forced the enemy posted on the road from Middelburgh to retire, with the loss of four guns, and many killed and wounded. Lieut. general lord Paget's division also drove in the posts of the enemy, and took up his position at West Zeuberg.
Nothing could exceed the gallantry of the troops throughout the whole of this day, and my warmest praise is due to the several general officers for their judicious disposition in the advance of their respective columns. To lieut. general sir Eyre Coote I feel much indebted for his exertions in this service, and the prompt and able manner in which he has executed my orders. The light troops under brigadier gen. Baron Rottenburgh have been admirably conducted; and with the officers commanding the several corps engaged, I have every reason to be perfectly satisfied. The 3d battalion of the royals, and flank companies of the 5th regiment, maintained the right under difficult circumstances, with great gallantry, and killed and wounded a great many of the enemy.
Ter Vere being in our possession, lieut. general Fraser's division marched in the evening upon Rottenburgh, detaching a corps for the reduction of Ramakens, which, when effected, will complete the investment of Flushing. I have to regret the temporary absence of brig. gen. Browne, who was wounded late in the day, but I trust not to be long deprived of his services.
I have the honour to inclose a return of the killed, wounded, and missing. Deeply as the fall of every British soldier is at all times to be lamented, the loss will not appear to have been great, when the serious impediments it was in the power of the enemy to oppose to our progress are considered, as
well as the formidable state of the batteries of Flushing, to which troops were necessarily exposed. The pressure of circumstances has necessarily prevented the commanding officer of artillery from furnishing a detailed account of guns and ordnance stores taken in the several batteries, and fortresses of Ter Vere, but which will be hereafter transmitted, with a return of the prisoners taken since our landing supposed to amount to one thousand. Commodore Owen's squadron, with lieut. general the marquis of Huntley's division, remains at anchor in Wieling Passage, and the division of lieut. general the earl of Rosslyn and lieut. gen. Grosvenor, are arrived at the anchorage in the Vere Gat.
I cannot conclude without expressing in the strongest terms my admiration of the distinguished ability with which the fleet was conducted through the passage into the Vere Gat, nor can the advantages resulting from the success of this operation be too richly estimated, as by it we were not only enabled to effect a disembarkation, which, in the then state of the wind, was impracticable in any other quarter, but also that the enemy, probably relying on the difficulty of the navigation, was less prepared for resistance. I must also warmly acknowledge the great assistance the service has derived from the zealous exertions of the officers of the navy, and the seamen employed, in drawing a considerable portion of the artillery through a heavy sand, and without whose aid, the advance of the army must necessarily have been suspended, the strength of the tide rendering the landing of the horses for a time extremely difficult. I have the honour to be, &c.

[Middelburgh capitulated without firing a shot; but the enemy made a sortie from Flushing, when a smart action took place, in which we had about 300 men killed and wounded. The loss of the enemy was much greater. The number of prisoners in our possession is about 2000. Three of our gun boats were sunk.]

NEW-YORK, Sept. 30. We stop the press at one o'clock this morning, to announce the arrival of the ship Titon , captain Henderson. She sailed from Liverpool the 18th of August, and brings London dates to the 15th.
These papers contain the official particulars of the battle fought in Spain on the 27th and 28th of July. The intelligence reached London on the 14th Aug. and the Park and Tower guns fired on the occasion—and the following official note was sent to the Lord Mayor:
"Downing-Street, 14th August, 1809. My Lord—I have the honour to inform your lordship, that the enemy having assembled on the Alberche all his forces in that part of Spain, consisting of the corps of Victor, of Sebastiani, and of 7 or 8000 troops from Madrid, the whole under the personal command of Joseph Buonaparte, assisted by marshals Jourdan and Victor, and gen. Sebastiani, attacked the combined armies posted at Talavera, on the 27th and 28th ult. The efforts of the enemy were chiefly directed against the British troops, and I have the satisfaction to acquaint your lordship, that on both days he was defeated with the most distinguished gallantry, and compelled to retire over the Alberche, with the loss of not less than 10,000 men, 20 pieces of cannon, and five standards. A victory so glorious to his majesty's arms, has not been purchased without a severe loss on our part. We have to lament the loss of major general Mackenzie, brigadier general Langworth, and many other gallant officers who have fallen on this occasion. The total loss on both days is stated to be in killed, 801; wounded 3913; missing 353.—The French generals Lapisse and Merlot are killed; generals Sebastiani and Boulet, wounded. "I have the honour to be, &c. "CASTLEREAGH. "The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."
The surrender of Flushing was reported, but no official advice had been received. It was reported in Spanish papers of the 31st of July, that Venegas had captured Madrid.
Sir James Saumarez's squadron had made a successful attack on Archangel, and took 100 ships in the harbour, laden with tallow and other valuable commodities.
The emperor of Austria had repaired to Campen, to accelerate the conclusion of the negotiations for peace. It was reported that a congress would be held at Presburg, to settle the terms of peace.
From the Gazette Extraordinary. Downing-Street, Aug. 15. Despatches which the following are copies and extracts, were this day received at the office of Lord Viscount Castlereagh one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state, from Lieut. gen. the right hon. Sir Arthur Wellesley, K. B. dated Talavera, July 29.
My Lord—General Cuesta followed the enemy's march with his army from the Alberche on the morning of the 24th, as far as Santa Olalla, and pushed forward his advanced guard as far as Tuvapulos.
For the reasons stated to your lordship in my despatch of the 24th, I moved only two divisions of infantry and a brigade of cavalry across the Alberche to Casalegos, under the command of Lieut. general Sherbrooke, with a view to keep up the communi-
cation between general Cuesta and me, and with Sir R. Wilson's army at Escalona.
It appears that general Venegas had not carried into execution that part of the plan of operations which related to his corps; and that he was still at Damiel, in La Mancha; and the enemy in the course of the 24th, 25th, and 26th, collected all his forces in this part of Spain, between Torrijos and Toledo, leaving but a small corps of 3000 men in that place.
His united army thus consisted of the corps of marshal Victor, of that of general Sebastiani, and of 7 or 8000 men, the guards of Joseph Buonaparte, and the garrison of Madrid, and it was commanded by Joseph Buonaparte, aided by marshals Jourdan and Victor, and gen. Sebastiani.
On the 26th, general Cuesta's advanced guard attacked near Torrijos, and obliged to fall back, and the general retired with his army on that day to the left bank of the Alberche; general Sherbrooke continued at Casalegos, and the enemy at Santa Olalla.
It was then obvious that the enemy intended to try the result of a general battle, for which the best position appeared to be in the neighborhood of Talavera; and gen. Cuesta having consented to take up this position on the morning of the 27th, I ordered general Sherbrooke to retire with his corps at its division in the line, leaving gen. Mackenzie with a division of infantry and a brigade of cavalry, as an advanced post in the wood, on the right of Alberche, which covered our left flank.
The position taken up by the troops at Talavera extended more than two miles; the ground was open upon the left, where the British army was stationed, and it was commanded by a height, on which was, in echelon and second line, a division of infantry, under the orders of major general Hill.
There was valley between this height and a range of mountains still further upon the left which valley was not at first occupied, as it was commanded by the height before mentioned; and the range of mountains appeared too distant to have any influence upon the expected action.
The right, consisting of Spanish troops, extended immediately in front of the town of Talavera down to the Tagus. This part of the town was covered by olive trees, and much intersected by banks and ditches. The high road leading from the bridge over the Alberche, was defended by a heavy battery in front of a church, which was occupied by Spanish infantry. All the avenues to the town were defended in a similar manner: the town was occupied, and the remainder of the Spanish infantry was formed in two lines, behind the banks on the roads which led from the town and the right, to the left of our position.
In the centre, between the two armies, there was a commanding spot of ground, on which we had commenced to construct a redoubt, with some open ground in its rear.
Brigadier general Alexander Campbell was posted at this spot with a division of infantry, supported in his rear by gen. Cotton's brigade of dragoons, and some Spanish cavalry.
About two o'clock on the 27th, the enemy appeared in strength on the left bank of the Alberche, and manifested an intention to attack gen. Mackenzie's division.
The attack was made before they could be withdrawn; but the troops, consisting of general Mackenzie's and colonel Donkin's brigades, and general Anson's brigade of cavalry, and supported by general Payne with the other four regiments of cavalry, in the plain between Talavera and the wood withdrew in good order, but with some loss, particularly the 2d battalion 67th regiment, and 2d battalion 31st regiment in the wood.
Upon this occasion the steadiness and discipline of the 45th regiment, and the 5th battalion 60th regiment were conspicuous; and I had particular reason for being satisfied with the manner in which major general Mackenzie withdrew his advanced guard.
As the day advanced the enemy appeared in larger numbers on the right of the Alberche, and it was obvious that he was advancing to a general attack upon the combined army.
General Mackenzie continued to fall back gradually upon the left of the position of the combined armies, where he was placed in the second line, in the rear of the guards, colonel Donkin being placed in the same situation further up the left of the position of the combined armies, where he was placed in the rear of the king's German Legion.
The enemy immediately commenced his attack in the dusk of the evening, by a cannonade upon the left of our position, and by an attempt with his cavalry to overthrow the Spanish infantry posted, as I have before stated on the right. This attempt failed entirely.
Early in the night he pushed a division along the valley on the left of the height occupied by general Hill, of which he gained a momentary possession, but major general Hill attacked it instantly with the bayonet and regained it.
This attack was repeated in the night, but failed, and again at day light in the morning of the 28th, by two divisions of infantry, and was repulsed by major general Hill.
Major general Hill has reported to me in a particular manner the conduct of the 29th regiment; and of the 1st battalion 43th regiment, in these different affairs, as well as that of major general Tilson, and brigadier general Richard Stewart.
We have lost many brave officers and soldiers in the defence of this important point in our position, among others I cannot avoid mentioning brigadier general Gardner; and major gen. Hill was himself wounded, but I am happy to say, but slightly.
The defeat of this attempt was followed about noon, by a general attack with the enemy's whole force upon the whole of that part of the position occupied by the British army.
In consequence of the repeated attempts upon the heights on our left by the valley, I placed two brigades of British cavalry in that valley, supported in the rear by the Duc d'Albuquerque's division of Spanish cavalry.
The enemy then placed light infantry in the range of mountains on the left of the valley, which were opposed by a division of Spanish infantry under Lieut. gen. Bassecoart.
The general attack began by the march of several columns of infantry into the valley with a view to attack the height occupied by major gen. Hill. These columns were immediately charged by the first German light dragoons, and 23d dragoons under the command of gen. Anson, directed by Lieut. gen. Payne, and supported by gen. Fane's brigade of heavy cavalry; and although the 23d dragoons suffered considerable loss, the charge had the effect of preventing the execution of that part of the enemy's plan.
At the same time he directed an attack upon brig. gen. Alexander Campbell's position in the centre of the combined armies, and on the right of the British. This attack was most successfully repulsed by brig. gen. Campbell, supported by the king's regiment of Spanish cavalry, and two battalions of Spanish infantry; and brig. gen. Campbell took the enemy's cannon.
The brig. gen. mentions particularly the conduct of the 97th, the 2d battalion 7th, and of the 2d battalion 53d regiments, and I was highly satisfied with the manner in which this part of the position was defended.
An attack was also made at the same time upon Lieut. gen. Sherbrooke's division, which was on the left and centre of the first line of the British army. This attack was most gallantly repulsed by a
charge with bayonets, of the whole division; but the brigade of guards, which were on the right having advanced too far, they were exposed on their left flank to the fire of the enemy's battery, and of their retiring columns; and the division was obliged to retire towards the original position, under cover of the 2d line of gen. Cotton's brigade of cavalry, which I had moved from the centre, and of the 1st battalion 48th regiment.
I had moved this regiment from its original position on the heights, as soon as I observed the advance of the guards, and it was formed in the plain, advanced upon the enemy, and covered the formation of Lieut. gen. Sherbrooke's division.
Shortly after the repulse of this general attack, in which apparently all the enemy's troops were employed, he commenced his retreat across the Alberche, which was conducted in the most regular order and was effected during the night, leaving in our hands twenty pieces of cannon, ammunition, tumbrils and some prisoners.
Your lordship will observe by the enclosed return the great loss which we have sustained of valuable officers and soldiers in this long and hard fought action, against more than double our numbers. Loss of the enemy has been much greater. I am informed that entire brigades of infantry have been destroyed; indeed the battalions that retreated were much reduced in numbers. By all accounts their loss is 10,000 men; generals Lapisse and Merlot are killed; generals Sebastiani and Boulet wounded.
I have particularly to lament the loss of Maj. Gen. Mackenzie, who had distinguished himself on the 27th; and of brig. gen. Langworth, of the King's German Legion; and of brigadier-major Beckett, of the Guards.
Your lordship will observe, that the attacks of the enemy were principally directed against the British troops. The Spanish commander in chief, his officers and troops, manifested every disposition to render us assistance, and those of them which were engaged did their duty; but the ground which they occupied was so important and its front at the same time so difficult, that I did not think it proper to urge them to make any movement on the left of the enemy while he was engaged with us.
I have reason to be satisfied with the conduct of all the officers and troops. I am much indebted to Lieut. gen. Sherbrooke for the assistance I received from him, and the manner in which he led on his division to the charge with bayonets.
To Lieut. gen. Payne and the cavalry, particularly gen. Anson's brigade, to maj. gens. Hill and Tison, brig. gens. Alexander Campbell, Richard Stewart, and Cameron, and to the divisions and brigades of infantry under their commands respectively, particularly the 29th regiment commanded by col. White, the 1st battalion 48th, commanded by col. Donnellan, afterwards, when that officer was wounded, by maj. Middlemore; the 2d battalion 7th, commanded by Lieut. col. Sir William Myers; the 2d battalion 53d, commanded by Lieut. col. Bingham; the 97th commanded by col. Lyon; the 1st battalion of detachment commanded by Lieut. col. Bunbury; and the 2d battalion 31st, commanded by maj. Watson; and of the 45th, commanded by Lieut. col. Guard, and 5th battalion 60th, commanded by maj. Davy, on the 27th.
The advance of the brigade of guards was most gallantly conducted by brig. gen. Campbell, and, when necessary, that brigade retired, and formed again in the best order.
The artillery under brig. gen. Howorth was also, throughout these days, of the greatest service, and I had every reason to be satisfied with the assistance I received from the chief engineer Lieut. col. Fletcher, the Adj. gen. brig. gen. the hon. C. Stewart, and the quarter-master gen. col. Murray, and the officers of those departments respectively, and from col. Bathurst and the officers of my personal staff.
I also received much assistance from col. O'Lawlor, of the Spanish service, and from brig. gen. Whittingham, who was wounded when bringing up the two Spanish battalions to the assistance of brig. gen. Alexander Campbell.
I send this by capt. Ld. Fitzroy Somerset, who will give your lordship any further information, and whom I beg leave to recommend. I have the honour to be, &c.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York.
Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall Street.
PROPOSALS
For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION: and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the publick.
No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified.—The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.
No. I. HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal.
Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
No. II. HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS.
Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
No. III. HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS.
Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
No. IV. HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS.
Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire.
This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, or other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c.—The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.
Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Malsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance.
I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for Insurance accurately described.
II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated; the name of the present occupiers; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect.
III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property.
IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon.
V. No Insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the Premium is paid.
VI. Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other Insurance on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before, or at the time of the execution of the Policy: and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have Insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall cease, and be of no effect: and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the payment of a rateable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained.
VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever.
VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured.
IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy.
X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in as particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required: and shall make oath, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall produce a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss; that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or very likely believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and until such affidavits and certificates are produced, the loss shall not be payable: Also, if there appears any fraud, or false swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitution or payment, by virtue of his policy.
XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgment of Arbitrators, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allowance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever.
XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Surveyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required. Feb. 13. Francis Foster, Church-Street, Norfolk.

Boot and Shoe Manufactory.
SAMUEL COLEMAN,
Opposite the Market, (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quantity of the best
Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c.
that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk. With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Seal and other Leather here—good workmanship—great attention—no disappointments—a regular bred foreman—and a tolerable supervisor—He has already furnished and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been rendered here by any person in this way; on these conditions only he expects custom.
He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good flock of KID and MOROCCO; all the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an allowance made for that which is not; but the greatly increased price of all the materials, and the high price of labour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the run-work, generally offered for sale here.
He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibility of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see.
He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, where gentlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of getting such as are good, as he has no run work done, and a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are cash only.
A LEASE
For the elegant PROPERTY he now occupies is to be disposed of—it has about three and an half years to run.
