One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY the fourth instant from the subscriber, two Negro Men, named SYPHAX and PETER.
SYPHAX is about 34 or 35 years of age, stout and well made, except his ancles and instep, which are of an un- size and appear to be swelled, about 5 feet 9 or 10 in- high, of a tawney complexion; when spoken to stammers considerably; a little pitted with the small-pox in the face; Syphax was purchased by me in 1805, of Mr. Miles King, Norfolk, who a short time before bought him at Mr. Low- ry's sale, Back River, near Hampton, where said fellow is well known.
PETER is about 37 or 38 years of age, stout and well made, about 5 feet eight or 9 inches high, of a black com- plexion, but when spoken to has rather a dawn look; has on his breast a flesh mole about one and an half inches wide, and about tw and an half or three inches long. Peter was purchased by me about six years ago from on board an Eastern-Shore craft; he was raised within a few miles beyond Accomack Court-House; I expect he will en- deavour to get back there, and from thence to the State of Maryland.
If the said Negroes are apprehended without the counties of Norfolk and Princess Anne, the above reward will be given to any person who will secure them in jail so that I get them again, or Fifty Dollars for each; and if taken out of the state of Virginia all reasonable expenses will be paid on delivering them to me near Norfolk, besides the above reward; and if taken within the counties aforesaid, I will give Twenty-Five Dollars for each.

NOTES OF HAND.
According to the true form thereof, and as the same are Office of Deed and Record of the Borough of Norfolk, for which they are.

We have copied into our paper of this day, some excellent observations from the Federal Republican, upon the reception of the Spanish minister, recently arrived in the United States. These observations will be a satisfactory answer to some remarks that lately appeared in the Richmond Enquirer upon this subject. We had intended, and had actually prepared some observations in reply to those of the Enquirer, but those of the Federal Republican, are so much more in point, that we have not hesitated in giving them a reference.
"A contest for government" says Mr. Jefferson, (who is more remarkable for saying pretty, than sensible things) has arisen in Spain. Let Joseph send his brother's legions to France, and then see where would be "the contest for government." How many Spanish soldiers are in the ranks of Joseph? Which of the arsenals of Spain has he, that has not been treacherously seized, or wrested by force by the soldiers of Napoleon? Of all the extensive and fertile colonies of Spain, in every quarter of the globe, which of them has acknowledged the usurper? What part of the maritime force of Spain does Joseph possess? Has he any of the immense revenues of Spain at his disposition? But France will be offended if this minister is accredited—Aye there's the rub."
DIED —Yesterday ROBERT BOUSH, ESQUIRE, an antient and very respectable citizen of this place; many years senior justice of this county; and President of the Common Hall of the Borough.
—On Thursday last at Richmond, MR. JOHN BANKS, of that city.
In the course of the trial in the court of king's bench between Mr. Wright, the upholsterer, and col. Wardle, one of the counsel, in cross examining Mrs. Clarke is said sneeringly to have asked her under whose protection she now was. Mrs. Clarke archly replied (looking at the bench) "Lord Ellenborough's." His lordship smiled, and the court was convulsed with laughter.
Yesterday morning, the new minister from Spain, left this city for the seat of government—where, no doubt, he will meet with a favourable reception.
It is principally owing to the exertions of this gentleman, we learn, that the American property under detention in Spain, has been liberated.—Thirty-seven thousand dollars, the amount of the cargo of one ship that had been condemned, has already been received by a democratic house in this city, who has not heretofore been very friendly to the patriotic cause of that country. This generosity of the Spaniards, (though no more than an act of justice) we hope, will induce certain characters in this city, to be more sparing of their epithets against that nation, by branding them with the approbrious name of the Spanish banditti.
(New York Gaz.)
From the Federal Republican.
OUT FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
ENGLAND.
Difficulties are likely to thicken in our foreign relations. What are Mr. Jackson's propositions, cannot be conjectured. Several indications however, which have taken place, excite our fears, that the most just and conciliatory proposals will meet with obnoxious difficulties, engendered by a persevering devotion to French attachments. We allude to the bitter reproaches and haughty fulminations of the National Intelligencer, as well as to the untrue intimation, that Mr. Jackson had on his arrival signified, that his mission did not require immediate attention. This misrepresentation was made a prop of the charge of insincerity against Great Britain, and to countenance the suggestion, that he was come here without any instructions to compose the controversies which exist.
FRANCE.
All the recent accounts from Europe concur in depicting our affairs with France as highly menacing. It is not actually pushed beyond the state of war. The cause of this rupture is distinctly to be traced in the policy of France, which preceded and caused our embargo. Nothing will content her, which does not accord with her system of destroying all commerce in order to affect England. The demand has therefore never ceased to be made, that we should take our choice of abstaining from trading with her, and that this object may be securely attained, we are called upon to renounce all foreign trade, except with France; or if we would not consent thus far to meet the wishes of Buonaparte, we are to encounter his enmity in a more declared and formidable form, than he has yet exercised it against us. If therefore some collision of a momentary nature does not soon take place with Great Britain or her allies, it must necessarily follow with France. Even now the arrest of our citizens in that country may have been added to the confiscation of our property, held thus long as a security for good behaviour. In this critical conjuncture, every hear from Washington is calculated to increase the expectation of accommodation with France: whilst the doubtful admonition of danger seems to steal upon us through unofficial and casual channels.
SPAIN.
To darken the gloom which overcasts our opinion, it is said that the executive has fatally determined to reject the minister, through whom the rightful government of Spain, now emancipated from the tyranny of her oppressor, has sent us letters of friendship and good correspondence. What will the impartial world think of our degradation? Those who censored the murders of their "magnanimous friend and ally," ought to excuse those perpetrated by their devotedness to the reactionary principles professed by the revolutionists and their chief of royalty.
It seems that they plead in favour of the usurper, in the name of our other friend, when the
robber openly avows his purpose of wearing it himself. Should this minister be turned away, the ruling motive will admit of no concealment. It will be the identical principle, which procured the contemptuous rejection of Mr. Monroe's treaty, the same that imposed the embargo; the same that furiously railed for letters of marque; the same that encouraged Ertizae to break his instructions; that concealed the insulting demands of the French government: that sent Short to the conspiracy of Erfort. In a few words, Don Onis, if refused an acknowledgment, will be the victim of Gallic influence, though the act will involve the return of evil for good to a nation, that generously befriended us when we were making a similar struggle, and a disregard of the law of nations, having a tendency to force into an hostile attitude a near neighbour and large customer.
There is no man so stupid or so corrupt as to avow the shadow of a title in Buonaparte to the crown of Spain. The people of the country are animated with an astonishingly uniform and persevering opposition to the degrading claim, and wherever they have not been positively kept down by main force, they have manifested their horror at the usurpation, by taking up arms and shedding their blood in vindication of their rights. No part of Spain is occupied by the subjects of Buonaparte, but that which is covered by his barbarous soldiery. If the government, administered for Ferdinand during his captivity, and without a single murmur acquiesced in by the Spanish nation, is incompetent to send an ambassador; it must arise from the exclusive competency of the government of the Buonapartes to do it. For even visionary philosophers have never pretended, that the sovereign power of a nation can be placed in suspense; though we have been informed by a moon-struck politician that in Spain there exists at present "a contest for the government." True it is, that a certain mercantile house indebted to the government of Spain may have ingeniously devised a difficulty of this sort, because it is not convenient to pay what is due; but the scheming pretexes of unfair merchants ought not to furnish a legitimate precedent for government.
Will the virtue of the American nation suffer their rulers to hold the yoke of Buonaparte upon the unwilling neck of Spain? On the contrary, do not our sympathies as well as our interest oblige us to act with justice and even generosity towards her, under her severe and unmerited trials. Let us not therefore attempt to degrade and injure her by denying her the right which essentially belongs to every people. For the sentence of the law of nations is plain, if we even forget to consult our hearts on the occasion. The instances are familiar of ambassadors being sent and received after the extinction or during the suspension of the authority, which usually exercised that right of sovereignty. In the last resort, the exercise of it falls upon the people or those whom they depute to act for them. "A Prince," says Martens, "by being held in captivity, or by being driven from his throne, or even from his dominions, does not on that account at once lose the right of sending ministers; neither does he, who has usurped his throne or power, acquire this right by his mere momentary possession. It is the justice or injustice of the cause that ought principally to decide, which of the two is entitled to exercise this right." Let us therefore, state the present case, and see how it accords with this attestation of the law. Ferdinand is in captivity. By the concurrence of the provinces of Spain a central congress is chosen to manage the government in his name. Joseph, the usurper, is not only destitute of the shadow or pretext of a title, but has been once driven out of the capital, the possession of which he first acquired by unmatchable treachery and fraud; and there is every probability of his becoming a fugitive a second time. In this state of affairs, is not the duty as plain as any which is obligatory upon a government, not to acknowledge the unstable usurpation? For by refusing to receive the Junta's minister, we should deny its authority to exercise sovereign rights, and acknowledge them to reside in Joseph Buonaparte.—There can be no middle point. The refusal to receive a minister from either will not obviate the difficulty. Spain has always been represented here by ministers and consuls, who are auxiliary to the convenience of her subjects and useful to her political relations. If we prohibit the renovation of these functionaries as occasion may require, we virtually change the ordinary state of things; we so far acknowledge flagitious usurpation, unaccompanied by obedience or possession, as to permit it to suspend, if not to supersede the rights of Ferdinand and the Junta acting in his name with a complete acquiescence of the nation.
From the same.
SPAIN.
The duty of admitting Mr. Onis as minister of Ferdinand the 7th, demands further attention.—But a correct opinion may be formed by the citizens at large of the utmost importance; and this circumstance must be our apology for continuing the subject. Omitting for the present all the more obvious considerations, which impel the United States to yield to Spain her dues, without diminution or hesitation, let us attend to the serious light in which the right of sending ambassadors is regarded by Vattel. "A sovereign, says he, attempting to hinder another from sending and receiving ministers, does him an injury and offends against the law of nations. It is attacking a nation in one of its most valuable rights, and opposing that nature herself gives to every independent society; it is breaking the bonds by which nations are united and offending them all." A more direct mode of hindering the exercise of this right is not possible, than a refusal to accredit the minister sent; which is not only of itself an act of hindrance, but in the peculiar case before us, it holds out an example for the imitation of others. It annihilates the independence of Spain, so far as the sentiments of our executive can condure to that end; and it is on that account the most mortifying insult can be offered.
Were we to consider the contest in Spain as embracing every feature of a civil war, it must be admitted, that as no power could arrogate a right to judge between the parties, the ministers of each must be received by other nations, and in this point of view the duty of acknowledging Ferdinand is apparent. But no civil war exists in Spain. The character of the war is that of foreign invasion and plunder, both exterminating and unprovoked. So powerful an invading army never before produced
less acquiescence of the people. In every other part of the continent where Buonaparte has carried his arms, terror has kept the population quiet and submissive. Notwithstanding the dreadful examples of vindictive cruelty inflicted, in Spain nobody has favoured the cause of Joseph Buonaparte but a wretched handful of traitors, who have sold their country and their consciences for gold. The present condition of Spain is that of an interregnum and a foreign war.—It would be equally unjustifiable to refuse the minister of the Junta, who are the regency of the country, as it would have been to refuse those of Louise, the mother of Francis the 1st. during his captivity in Spain, or those of Portugal since the Prince of Brazil assumed the regency, on account of the insanity of his mother, the present queen of Portugal. The pretension which Joseph Buonaparte has set up to the Spanish crown, equally destitute of right and of possession, cannot vary the case. If his claim were better founded, and he had succeeded in conquering the Peninsula, he could not be admitted to the privilege of nominating its diplomatic agents, until it was conceded to him by a treaty of peace, in which should be included every party, who could ultimately claim the succession, according to the constitution of the government of Spain. For the law of nations does not acknowledge the right of the strong or mere physical force, as establishing rights; and hence the sovereignty of a country is not changed until the title is arranged in form and by consent of the former legitimate sovereign.
But the American Executive has itself settled principles, and that lately, which appear to decide the point, that Spain is not under the yoke of Buonaparte. In applying the non-intercourse laws of the last and preceding sessions of Congress, a trade is permitted to every part of Spain, not actually occupied by the French armies. They have therefore totally overlooked Joseph's pretensions, and considered them as not existing. Every part of the country is considered Ferdinand's, except what is French, and that is considered French, which is held by the soldiers, who, under the name of his catholic majesty's army, are endeavouring to conquer the country for Joseph. If the latter was regarded as possessing the shadow of power or right of his own in Spain, a trade to his possessions could not be prohibited under the terms of those laws; but as the executive is convinced, that he is nothing but one of Napoleon's finger, moved by the soul and employed in his work, they rightly enough prohibited American vessels from supplying the armies, called his, with merchandise. For consistency sake they must therefore recognise Ferdinand's minister.
NEW YORK, October 9.
From the Salem Gazette of Friday.
"After we had got our paper to press last evening, we received the following account, from capt. S. Leach, of the brig Hart , from Cadiz:
"He informs us that on the 14th of August two days previous to his sailing, accounts were received of another battle having been fought between the combined armies and the French, in which the British army under Sir Arthur Wellesley, was totally defeated, and the Spanish army, under gen. Cuesta, completely annihilated; and that the remnant of the British, together with a small body of Portuguese troops connected with them, were on their retreat into Portugal. The action took place between Seville and Madrid, about the 10th of August.—The combined armies were proceeding towards Madrid, with good prospects of success, when they were encountered by the French, who had received great reinforcements, and were thus enabled to overpower them. The supreme junta were said to be without apprehension of danger, notwithstanding this reverse; and the news was as much as possible suppressed in Cadiz."
[The Spanish frigate, which arrived at this port a few days ago, left Cadiz on the 20th of August, six days after the above intelligence is said to have been received there; but brought no account of it either printed or verbal.]
From the Boston Centinel of October 7.
We give this day, two important but contradictory accounts of the state of affairs in Spain; both from Cadiz. One will be found under the Salem head; to which it is stated, by capt. Leach, who left Cadiz the 16th August, that on the 14th reports were circulated there, that about the 10th, some where between Seville and Madrid, [places very distant from each other, by the way] the French under Victor, having been reinforced, renewed their onsets on the combined English and Spanish armies, defeated the former, and compelled it to retreat into Portugal; and annihilated the latter; but that these tremendous disasters had not occasioned any apprehensions of danger in the Supreme Junta at Seville. So far the Salem account. On the other hand, a Spanish frigate has arrived in New-York, which left Cadiz the 20th August (6 days after the circulation of the above news in Cadiz;) and not one syllable respecting the disaster had transpired from her [on the contrary, we have official Seville papers to 17th August, by which it appears] that Venegas had advanced to Aranjuez, where he had thrice repulsed the attack of the French upon him; and was afterwards only compelled to return to La Mancha for want of provisions; and that the people of Madrid had driven the French garrison out of their city to the Retiro. Thus far the New York accounts.
We are of opinion, that the Salem reports were the mere newsmongers' bubbles at Cadiz; though we do not hold an event of the kind to have been impossible:—We now know, that in the battle of Talavera, marshal Victor had been joined by either Soult's or Ney's corps, which were approaching from the North. When those corps should be united to his, he would, in regular troops, have a decided superiority, and would not have lost a moment to make the most direful use of it. Still, had the event as reported have taken place, it is very extraordinary that no hint of it should have transpired from the Spanish frigate, in which an American gentleman [Mr. Baile] came passenger; and when too a great number of Spanish papers have been received, and which must immediately expose the reporters of her news, if any had been concealed. It seems a little surprising too, if as capt. Leach reports, the Spaniards took pains to conceal the event; that they should have suffered it to travel at the rate of 20 miles a day, directly through the most particular part of their country.
The following decree has been received by a commercial house in this city from the American consul at St. Petersburg, with a request that it may be published in the Mercantile Advertiser for the information of merchants generally, and accompanied by the assurance that its provisions will be rigidly enforced; at the same time the government will give every indulgence, and facility to the neutral vessel conforming thereto.
Petersburg June 14. "It is universally known how firmly Russia has endeavoured for ages to protect the trade of neutrals during the war carried on by European powers; it is notorious, with what courage that empire has sheltered the interests of trading nations from the fury of the war. True to these unalterable principles, we entertained a hope that, during the present rupture with England, the trade with allied nations would also offer no motive to them of a different direction. But the experience of last year has convinced us that the enemy has found means to misse neutral bottoms for the benefit of his trade, and we feel accordingly obliged to adopt the following measures, in order to prevent it in future.
"I. Every captain who enters any of our ports, is bound to prove his ship or vessel to be neutral property by the passport, the bill of sale, and the log-book, and the cargo to be so by the charter-party, the bill of lading, his own declaration, and a certificate of the origin of the goods, in cases where the whole or part of the cargo belongs to the captain or agent, and the ship has set sail from America or the West Indies, or is bound for those ports. Should any of those documents be wanting, the captain shall immediately leave the port, and not be permitted to discharge his cargo.
"II. Ships in port, laden with goods, which can be proved to be the production of an enemy's country, shall be detained, the goods declared confiscated, and sold publicly in behalf of the crown. If the goods amount to more than one half of the cargo, not only the lading but the ship shall be declared confiscated.
"III. A passport given by a neutral, friendly, or allied power, will not be sufficient for the justification of the captain, if any circumstances appear which do not agree with the passport, or if the name of the ship mentioned in the passport does not agree with that found in the other papers of the ship, unless it clearly appears that the papers have been duly signed by persons having the proper authority, in which case the difference in the name shall not make against the captain.
"IV. The passport given to the captain shall not be acknowledged legal, if the ship supplied with it shall not have been, at the time specified, in the port in the name of which the passport is given.
"V. When any ship, Supercargo, Captain, and more than one third of the crew, shall be subjects of an hostile power, or when on board any ship there shall be no muster roll, signed by the Officers of the neutral place from which the ship sailed, the ship and cargo shall be declared confiscated to the use of the Crown, but the crews shall be set at liberty.
"VI. If the passport produced by the Captain shall be false or forged, the ship and cargo shall be declared confiscated to the use of the Crown, and the captain be delivered over to justice to be proceeded against as a forger. The crew shall be set at liberty.
"VII. When in any ship double documents of different import are found, the ship and Cargo shall be confiscated to the use of the Crown. If the Captain shall endeavour to defend himself, but bring no sufficient proofs, the ship shall be detained, and time, if requested, be granted to the Captain to procure them from the place of his departure. If at the expiration of the time granted, he produces no proofs, the ship and cargo shall be confiscated.
"VIII. Every ship not built by a friendly power shall not be considered as neutral, unless it can be legally proved by its papers, that it was bought or transferred before the declaration of war; if this does not appear, the ship and cargo shall be confiscated to the use of the crown.
"IX. If the master or captain of a ship shall be a native of a hostile nation, and have passports from a neutral or friendly power, these shall not avail him, unless they prove that he became the subject of and resided with a neutral power before the declaration of war. On the failure of this proof the ship and cargo shall be confiscated to the use of the crown."
LONDON, August 25.
The more the intelligence from Spain, which we communicated yesterday, is considered, the more gloomy it appears. Sir Arthur Wellesley admitted in his despatches, that after the battle of Talavera, Victor retreated in very regular order, and that some days elapsed before he withdrew his rear guard. To this evidence showing that his defeat was not decisive, we may now add the rapidity with which he returned to Talavera, the moment he found the British army had commenced its retreat. The sudden and rapid advance of Soult to Placencia, shews how erroneous all our ideas have been respecting his situation. His army was represented as a mere handful of fugitives, totally incapable of any military operation, and yet we find that he has been able to join Ney, with whom he was stated to have quarrelled, and Mortier who is now noticed for the first time, and by a masterly movement of almost unexampled rapidity, to reach Placencia, at a moment when Sir A. Wellesley supposed him wandering in the north of Spain, for it is evident, that he did not think him capable of making such a movement. It thus appears, that the movements of Victor and Soult were the result of a deep and well concerted plan, to envelope and overwhelm the British army; a plan for the execution of which they possessed every possible facility; as Soult, who was represented in such a deplorable state, is said to have accelerated his march by the extraordinary means of a number of light flat-bottomed boats, which he conveyed in waggons, for the purpose of passing rivers without waiting to seek fords, or to make rafts, while Sir Arthur Wellesley was obliged to leave all his wounded behind him in Talavera, from the want of the ordinary means of conveyance. All impediment to the junction of Victor and Soult being thus removed by the retreat of the combined English and Spanish army across the Tagus, at Almarez and Ponte de Arcebiopo, to the south side of the river, the plan of the campaign is completely deranged; not indeed entirely deserted. Intelligence of the armistice in Germany it is said, had reached the British headquarters before Sir Arthur Wellesley commenced

his retreat, but the advance of Soult was sufficient cause for the movement. The joint force of Soult and Ney being probably not short of 60,000 men, a retreat across the Tagus was indeed the only means of safety left open to him. According to the extracts from the foreign papers which we gave yesterday, the English head-quarters were on the 7th at Deleosa, considerably to the south of the Tagus, and about 40 miles from Talavera. Private accounts add that he was continuing his retreat in the direction of Merida and Seville, and that part of his army had already reached Truxillo. We hope that the accounts may prove correct, as he will be in the best sources of supply, and sure of effecting his retreat to the coast. Stores of every kind, it is added, had been sent off to him from Seville, Cadiz, and various other towns together with horses, mules, and other means of conveyance, of which he was so much in want. Our readers will do us the justice to admit that we never amused them with all the benefits that ministers expected to derive from a march to Madrid. We can therefore with the more satisfaction congratulate Sir Arthur Wellesley upon his fortunate escape. Had he been unfortunately provided with the means of transport to follow up the battle of Talavera, and pursue Victor, Soult would not have been at Plasencia but at Talavera, and the combined army would have been caught in that trap, from which it has escaped by a rapid retreat and movement across the Tagus. The force that occupied Romana, Berestord, and Sir R. Wilson, being withdrawn from the Tagus, they will probably advance to threaten its rear. As to the corps of Venegas, on its march to Madrid, if it really has reached Aranjuez, it must be sacrificed if it advances, and it is scarcely possible that it should be able to effect its escape, and regain the mountains of Sierra Morena.

Extract of a letter from on board his majesty's ship San Domingo, dated Flushing 19th August, 1809, to his brother in Glasgow.
The French troops marched out this morning. We go up to-morrow to Antwerp, to attack the French fleet there. They are seven sail of the line, 3 frigates, and 70 sail of gun-boats and brigs. They have got a boom and chain across the river protected by heavy batteries, but that will have no effect; no chain, boom or battery can stop a British line of battle ship. I have been up the Scheldt within four miles of the French admiral's ship, surveying the river, and am to take up the fleet to-morrow if the wind will serve. I am appointed master attendant at Flushing, and shall resume my place as soon as we come down the Scheldt, if it please God Almighty to preserve me in the next battle. The San Domingo was laid along side of the walls, near the harbour's mouth; shortly after we were in action, we got aground on the Dog Sand, but all the time we were on shore, the whole of our broadside bore on the enemy's batteries. It was totally impossible for the enemy's troops to stand in the batteries against us. We completely knocked up eighty 36 pounders that bore upon us, and the last half hour we were on shore they did not fire a single gun at us. We had nineteen shot in our hull and about 200 in our sails and rigging, and had not a single man killed and only two wounded.
August 26.
It is in vain for the most enthusiastic admirers of Buonaparte to deny, that in spite of his talents and his victories, his own elevation, and the fortunes of his family, are involved in some degree of embarrassment. Even in the silence of his bulletins, which were almost considered as the oracles of fate; and in the pause which has succeeded to the armistice of the 12th July, we perceive that this conqueror is not able to impose peace on his vanquished enemy. He may, indeed, by renewing the war, eventually crush and annihilate the house of Austria. Such an event is even, we are aware, by no means removed beyond the limits of probability. But he is, evidently, incapable of terrifying the emperor Francis into any such acts of submission as followed the victory of Austerlitz; and though before the lapse of many weeks, he may possibly dictate conditions, under the walls of Prague or Olmutz, yet, it amounts to demonstration, that he has not succeeded in terminating the contest, before the conclusion of the period fixed for the suspension of hostilities. This is, in itself, however, a prodigious point gained; since we have a moral assurance and conviction, arising from the actual state of things at the present moment, in Holland, Spain, and Naples, that Napoleon must ardently desire, and would probably make some sacrifices to obtain, the means of transferring his energies, and his forces from Vienna, to Antwerp or to Castile. The surrender of Flushing; the defeat of Joseph Buonaparte, at Talavera, in whatever colours the Madrid Gazette, or the French Moniteurs, may attempt to conceal the real fact; the invasion of Naples by Stuart; and more than all these, the meditated attack on his fleet in the Scheldt, together with such other ulterior operations as may follow in a quarter contiguous to France; all these considerations must necessarily render the presumption of war with Austria most painful to him. To the firmness or to the delays of that cabinet, we may, indeed, attribute in an eminent degree, the success which has hitherto attended our arms in Zealand. For if peace had followed the battle of Wagram, as quick as Buonaparte unquestionably meant that it should, the armies of France would have been, before this time, on their way to the Netherlands, and Buonaparte in person would have appeared on the Scheldt. It is difficult for us to calculate, or to over-rate, the effects of such an event. At Presburg, in 1805, and at Tilsit in 1807, he allowed, indeed, the negotiations to proceed slowly, and to be protracted to some degree of length; because in both these cases, he had no enemy to fear elsewhere. The victories of Austerlitz and of Friedland, had laid the Monarchies of Austria, Russia, and Prussia at his feet. Germany and Italy were tranquil. Spain was his ally, and Holland was uninvaded. But in Aug. 1809, his affairs press. From Galicia to Calabria, from the Tagus to the Meuse, he must every hour be assailed with cries and reclamations for support, while he is compelled to turn his arms towards Hungary and Bohemia. Such is Buonaparte's position at the moment in which we now stand.
Nor can we be encouraged to prosecute hostilities, as far as we are able to judge of any ardour or manifestation of alertness, on the part of the three unfortunate allies, the King of Saxony, Bavaria, and Wirtemberg. The first of these Monarchs remains,
by the most recent accounts, with all his family and his household, a fugitive, from his dominions, in the direction of Frankfurt, where we find that Jerome Bonaparte, at the head of a body of forces, had entered Dresden, and that Prince Poniatowski was in possession of Warsaw, his two capitals. The situation and the distress of the King of Bavaria are eloquently portrayed in the Royal Edict which he has just published, dated on the 30th of last month, from Munich; and of the authenticity of which document, no doubts can be entertained, it being given in the Moniteur of the 9th of August. This Bavarian Majesty admits, in the most equivocal language, the exhaustion of his country, his own pressing wants, the calamities inflicted on himself and his people, "by the seat of war having been for some time established in his kingdom," and the consequent necessity of recurring to a general loan; in other words, to an extraordinary war tax, in order to supply the means of enabling Buonaparte to prosecute the contest with Austria.
How doubtful the Bavarian king was of any immediate peace, we may infer from the cautious manner in which he alludes to it. The passage is very remarkable. "The enemy," says he, "has been driven out of our kingdom; and as the armistice has been signed, we may hope for peace; but, the nearer we approach the conclusion of peace, the more ought we to redouble our perseverance." Such expressions, it must be confessed, do not increase our convictions of its probability. In Wirtemberg, we know, that insurrection and insubordination have made the most alarming progress, which is confirmed by the latest advices from Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg. While the territory of Margrave Karl, conferred on the duke by Napoleon, refuses to yield obedience to their new master, the insurgents from the Voralberg continue to ravage the southern portion of Wirtemberg, to the gates of Bregenz, and of Kempten. Such are the blessings conferred by the Corsican on his tributary and dependent allies, who assuredly, cannot desire to see a continuance of war in Austria. Globe.
BATTLE OF WAGRAM.
The following is the Austrian official account of the battle of Wagram, as published in the Austrian Gazettes, dated from the head-quarters of the archduke Charles, the 29th July.
Scarcely had the morning of the 5th begun to break, when the enemy's army, composed of a force which, since the earliest times, has perhaps never been collected in one point, appeared at the distance of a long cannon shot.
"It was estimated at from 140 to 180,000 men. According to the latest statements of the emperor Napoleon himself, and its generals, it consisted of 180,000 combatants. On the part of the imperial Austrians, not quite 100,000 men were in the field on the day of battle. The attack began, with a brisk cannonade all along the line, which the enemy began by a far superior number of heavy ordnance, and kept it up till night, without interruption. The right wing of the Austrians made the most splendid progress. Adelsheim was taken, and the enemy driven from Russenbrunn, Breitenfeld, and Hirschstetten.
The enemy's cavalry on the left wing was completely routed, and field-marshal lieutenant Hiller, with the six corps which he commanded in the room of field-marshal lieutenant Hiller, who was taken ill, penetrated on the enemy's left flank, as far as Aspern, Esslingen, and the town of Enzersdorf; made himself master of our entrenchments, which we had abandoned the day before, took ten pieces of cannon, and some thousand prisoners, besides one eagle and several stand of colours. In the mean time, the French centre, where the emperor Napoleon was, did not move from the spot of Rosenberg; it was stationed there in several ranks, consisting of upwards of 60,000 men strong, and continually lengthened its right wing, opposite the left of the Austrians; till the latter was quite overwhelmed about noon by a mass of cavalry and a great quantity of artillery. The corps which had been expected from Marchfeld did not arrive, and it was easy for the enemy to out-flank our left wing; their violent cross-fire soon silenced our batteries.
Our 4th corps, which was placed on our extreme left, was repulsed, and the heights in that quarter, occupied by the enemy.
By this, the 2d corps in the centre was not only prevented from undertaking the attack against Rosenberg, but was itself overwhelmed and forced to retreat to the causeway of Brunn, while the enemy had already gained Prokstels, and Enzersdorf, and was threatening the road to Wolkersdorf, in the rear of the imperial royal army. Night put an end to the action. In the battle, nine pieces of cannon were lost, in the retreat none, and the ten pieces of cannon taken were carried off. The archduke John arrived in the afternoon near Siebenbrunn after the battle was decided, and then went back again behind the March.
The army continued its retreat till the 9th on the Prague road, as far as Guntrsdorf. The rear had obstinate engagements daily, during which Kornburg and Hollabrunn took fire, and the army was always ready for battle.
On the 11th, shortly before sunset, in the heat of this action, when both armies were for the most part drawn up by facing one another, a formal conference took place, after some mutual messages, and at last a temporary armistice, the want of which was equally felt by both armies, after an uninterrupted conflict of upwards of eight days, and being overcome with fatigue. In consequence of this, an armistice was concluded on the 12th, by which hostilities are suspended for four weeks, and fourteen days notice, is to be given before breaking it. The Austrian army has taken a retrograde position in Moravia, and the adjoining district of Bohemia, to enjoy some repose after the unheard-of toils of the last eight days.
FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.
TALAVERA, July 29.
The British army which was in Portugal under gen. Wellesley after having joined the insurgents under Cuesta, had marched against the first corps, hoping, with treble numbers, to beat it, and effect its junction with the troops under Cuesta.
Already had the British flattered themselves with getting to Madrid; but the events that have passed during the three days that have elapsed, have a good deal deranged the plan of the campaign. His majesty, after the affair of the 28th, continued to pursue the enemy, who arrived on the 29th at Talavera, and entrenched themselves with dispositions announced an intention of maintaining
himself in that position. After having been reinforced by a part of his infantry, and a whole regiment of cavalry, he abandoned his intention. In these circumstances the French have proved as they have often done, that whatever be the position and number of their enemies, they can overcome all obstacles. The British and insurgents sustained great loss—ours is not considerable.
Gen. Latour Maubourg's division entered Talavera this morning.
We have received news from marshal Soult; he marched on the 25th in the direction of Plasencia.
Paris, August 9.
We have letters from Santa Olalla of the 25th ult. at ten P. M. which mention the new victory gained over the British, Portuguese, and Insurgents. The loss of the British is enormous. We took 800 prisoners, and a whole regiment of cavalry. This regiment was taken by one of ours, which opened its ranks to receive its charge, and then cut off their retreat. The rest of the British column, which constituted the whole force of the enemy, is in full retreat.
AMSTERDAM, August 5.
Our Court Gazette of yesterday contains the following article, dated the 4th:— "The minister of war set out last night to superintend the execution of the measures ordered by his majesty, and this day the king proceeded to Rotterdam. The journey of his majesty has no other object than that of expediting and inspecting the military preparations, and his absence will continue but a few days.
The present circumstances, though little inconvenient for France, are extremely difficult for our country, but they will serve to render more conspicuous the sentiments of those who have already, in ordinary times, proved themselves to be the friends of their country and the existing state of things. It is very surprising that such a man as Lieut. Gen. Berthier should have succeeded in obtaining the confidence of the Government so far as to obtain the important rank he held in the army. He had the honour of receiving the command of his Majesty to defend to the last the batteries of the island of South Beveland, and yet he abandoned the enemy without firing a cannon or a musket, and returned to Bergen-op-Zoom, after having called together a Council of war, to cover the shame of a proceeding which so strongly excites the suspicion of treason. By a decree of this date his Majesty has deprived him of all military rank, and declared him incapable of ever resumes the same—As Grand Master of the Order of the Union, his Majesty has besides declared him unworthy of holding any rank in that Order, and has struck his name out of the list of the Knights. A part of the Royal Guards who were at Bergen-op-Zoom, being disgusted at the conduct of this General refused to receive him.
LYDIA, Aug. 5.
The French fleet lies at the distance of half a mile from Antwerp. Within these few days a great number of troops have passed through Gorcum, Harlem and Dordrecht, and are destined to Bergen-op-Zoom, where it is supposed the principal Dutch force will be collected. A considerable train of artillery has passed through Harlem. A squadron of cuirassiers and a company have arrived at Utrecht from Leo.
INSURANCE CASE.
PARKIN v. JACOB.—Mr. Garrow stated this to be an action to recover 63 per cent. on a policy of insurance, entered into between the plaintiff and defendant, on a brig belonging to the former, called the Little Jane. She was freighted for the Brazils, with such goods as were likely to turn to advantage, there, and she had liberty to sail with or without convoy, and in a heavy gale separated from the rest of the fleet; but in a few days she joined company again, with five or six of them that had got ahead of the others. These were all soon afterwards taken by two of the enemy's privateers. Mr. G. said, that with the assistance of several of his learned brethren, he was unable to guess what defence could be set up on the other side.
At the desire of Mr. Park, for the defendant, the Policy of Insurance was read, when it appeared that among the rest of the Little Jane's cargo were several anchors, cables, coils of rope, and other naval stores, which being prohibited articles of exportation, the payment of the insurance was resisted on that ground.
Mr. Garrow submitted to the bench, whether or not the rest might be recovered, which were not prohibited articles; but
Lord Ellenborough being of a contrary opinion, the plaintiff was nonsuited.

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 the destruction of 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 public.
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, and 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—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.

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 manufacturing 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.

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 be 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 rely on the belief, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or will 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 be payable: Also, if there appear any fraud, or false swearing, such insured shall forfeit his claim to resolution 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 Arbiters, mutually chosen, whose award in writing on the subject, binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage has happened, the company shall pay for the same in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allowing any discount, fees, or any deduction whatever.
