WEEKLY RETROSPECT OF POLITICS.
From the General Evening Post, of Saturday July 5th.
We regret to say, that, since our last Retrospect, the apprehensions which we then entertained have been realized in Italy to their fullest extent; and all our hopes and wishes have been frustrated, by the overwhelming numbers of the enemy, and the ill fortune of the Austrian armies.
It has been before stated, that, as soon as General Melas was undeceived respecting the forces and designs of the French Consular army of reserve, he sent from Turin orders to General Ott, before Genoa, to raise the blockade of that fortress; but, in the then imperfect state of our information, we considered as fortunate the accident by which this order had been counteracted.
The French army, under Berthier, as our readers may recollect, had assembled at Stradella; but its advanced guard, under Lannes, was at Broni (about midway between Stradella and Voghera) at the time General Ott reached the latter place.
By this time the Austrian Chief Melas, finding that the Po had been passed by the enemy, quitted Turin, and concentrated his forces at Alessandria. General Ott, continually pressed by the French army, flushed with its late successes, fell back on Tortona, and continued his retreat towards Alessandria.
an Chief from Turin, manoeuvred on his rear and cut off his retreat.
The next morning (the 15th,) finding the fortune of the day so decidedly with the French army, Melas judged it proper to send General Skall to Buonaparte, with proposals for an Armistice; and a Convention was afterwards signed by himself on the one part and the French General Berthier on the other.
The armistice was stipulated to continue till an answer could be received from the Emperor; but whatever might be the result, neither army was to recommence hostilities without giving ten day notice.
From the Genoese Coast, Suchet has reported to the Minister of War at Paris, that, in his operations against Gen. Elnitz, between the 28th of May and the 6th of June, he had taken 7000 prisoners and 30 pieces of cannon.
In Suabia, the Imperialists still continue on the defensive; but do not seem strong enough effectually to impede the progress of the enemy. — Augsburg was taken by Gen. Lecourbe on the 28th of May, afterwards evacuated, and again taken possession of on the 12th ult.
From Egypt we have had French accounts, professing to copy an official letter from Lord Keith, as commander in chief of the British fleet in the Mediterranean, to General Kleber, which declares that he had positive instructions not to consent to the kind of capitulation that had been entered into with one of the allied powers, &c.
Our frigates continue to annoy the coast of Brittany, and interrupt all intercourse between the respective harbours of France.
Another secret expedition, of considerable magnitude, is in a state of forwardness. Large embarkations of troops have taken place at Deal, Portsmouth, and Plymouth; at the former of which places forty pieces of battering cannon have been shipped.
province of Zealand, or the French army in Egypt!!!
A quadruple alliance is (we know not on what foundation) said in the German papers to be forming between Russia, Prussia, Sweden and Denmark, for restoring peace to Europe.
It has been rationally conjectured, that Malfena's engaging the Austrian officer in negotiation at this juncture was a projected measure, to enable the consular army, without interruption, to secure the Milanese, the Austrian magazines, and the passage of the Po.
Buonaparte did not (as supposed in our last) accompany the march after the capture of Milan, but remained in that city, and sent forward his army under the direction of Berthier.
No tidings respecting the determination of his Imperial majesty had reached town when our paper went to press.
This will account for the temporary detention, by Lord Keith's orders, of general Defaix on his passage from Egypt.
LONDON, July 6.
Sieyes cannot forgive Buonaparte for having torn from him the consular fasces, he obtained by a lengthened series of crimes, mean compliances, treachery, and tergiversation.
When Buonaparte, after resigning the command of the army of England, had set out from Paris to Balaat, he passed on his way through Baise.
The honest Swift was requested to send Buonaparte an invitation, and at the same time to permit twenty five Austrian soldiers to conceal themselves in the house, with the view of seizing his person during the night, and of conducting him to the fortress where the brave Bourmonville was condemned to languish thirty two months.
DELLINGEN, June 16,
On the 13th instant, the Austrian General, count Sztaray, was compelled by the superior force of the enemy to retreat by the Zusmerhausen and Wattenhausen.
ULM, June 19.
On the 17th, in the afternoon, an action took at Leipheim, near Gunningen, on the right bank of the Danube.
RATISBON, June 20.
The report that the French had entered Munich and Ratisbon is unfounded. They have not hitherto made any considerable movements in Bavaria.

"Since my last of the 21st ultimo, we have only fallen in with and captured from the French, a French Ketch called Le Chouchon, with a cargo per invoice, which I dispatched this day with the convoys."
The United States sloop of war Baltimore, Capt. W. Cowper, has lately convoyed from the West-Indies, 16 ships, 35 brigs, 56 schooners and 10 sloops making in the whole 107 vessels.
Capt. Blunt, of the brig Gustavus, arrived yesterday from Lisbon, informs, that on the night of 1st July, the Mercury of Hull, laden with Spanish wool, was cut out of that port, supposed by a French privateer. Her cargo was valued at 300,000 Crowns.
Accounts state, that many American vessels are captured and carried into the Island of Guernsey, where they are condemned under the slightest pretences.

A London Editor says we have a wonderful account of a sailor, on board the Caledonian East-Indiaman, who, in a violent storm near the Cape of Good Hope, had his shirt blown from his back. There was, it seems, on this occasion, no need "to raise the wind" to purchase another.
A wicked wit endeavours to insinuate that Buonaparte has pressed Mrs. Billington into his service; and, what is still more provoking, that he has done it, not for his private amusement, but that of his people at large.

Master Tom, since your recent promotion, So meanly obtained by such cringing devotion, No answer have you, for the challenge I penn'd For an injury done to a patron—a Friend! When you dared to proclaim, that your Piece I refined; While the fact is well known, I have ever declined, Each offer to bribe me by Profit or Trust; Let those who want Spirit, like YOU, lick the Duff. What Post have you gain'd, Sir, that I would have taken? Explain, or by Jove, Tom, you shant save your Bacon.
NEW-YORK, September 2. On Saturday afternoon the U. States frigate President, Commodore Truxton, got under weigh and proceeded to the Hook; to-morrow or next day we understand she will proceed on a cruise. A report is current that a fatal defeat prevails at Providence.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES. POLITICAL.
Very early after the arrival of Citizen Genet, the facility with which young Bache spoke and translated the French language, independent of his affinity to Monsieur Franklin , recommended him to the notice, and the patronage of that factious French Minister. He always had the earliest intelligence of any new commotions in the interior of the French Republic, or of the external victories of their armies. He was the earliest to catch the watch word of the triumphant factions at Paris, and to pass it over through his newspaper to the enamoured partisans of the Republic, here. Civic festivals were continually advertised, and all true Sans Culottes were invited to attend the celebration. The Federal Government, but more especially President Washington, was held up to scorn, and ridicule, because resistance was made to the fitting out of French privateers in our ports, and to the sale of French prizes; and the testy Genet, in a fit, a paroxysm of passion, published his secret Instructions, which plainly evinced to the President, and to the American people, that the object of the French government, in sending this fiery meteor among us, was no other than to excite us to a war with Great Britain.
Throughout the rapid career of the two succeeding French ministers, "the Aurora," continued faithful to the republic in every change of her mutable condition. The federal government and all who had any share in the administration, were themes of daily reproach, misrepresentation and slander. The form no less than the manner in which the government was administered were condemned, because they approached to a resemblance with the British constitution, and because the French had adopted, and were then practising upon the model, which Monsieur Franklin had always recommended and admired. It is well known that the present constitution of the State of Pennsylvania, (which in good hands, would be the most perfect system of State government in the Union) could never have been ratified, in the life time of Mr. Franklin . A single democratic representative assembly, was his darling theory; in no other form, could the happiness of the people be promoted, nor could the true dignity of man's nature be displayed, where the doctrine of a chief or controul over his passions was an ingredient in the constitution.
From all the preceding detail of facts, some of which are merely historical, I shall draw this inference—That the ghost of Benjamin Franklin still haunts and hovers over the destinies of the federal government, that his apparition will never be allayed, so long as his countrymen submit to the wretched degradation of their natures, which results from a practical adoption of so monstrous a theory; and lastly, that the people of this country must make their election, between the alternative of abandoning the haunted castle, commonly called the federal constitution, or submit to the impertinent daily visits of a troublesome spectre, commonly called "the Aurora."
Having gone through with this preliminary narrative, I proceed to the main object proposed in the outset, viz: First, to show that the views, the language, the sentiment, and style of the Crown and Ministerial writers in England, are precisely the same, with those of Duane, the present "Aurora" Editor, and Mr. Jefferson's partisans in this country, so far as respects their application to the administration of the federal government under President Adams.
By what strange fatality it has happened, I know not, but this is the fact, that the successor to Benjamin Franklin Bache, as Editor of the Aurora , is a British subject . Yes, Billy Duane, who was a sort of upper workman in the "Aurora office," at the time Benjamin Franklin Bache died, is a British refugee from Bengal or some other British possession in the East Indies, where he was superintended and published a newspaper, and whence he was suddenly compelled to depart for fear of a prosecution against him for libelling the government.
Thus we see that his present occupation is no new thing to him—he was a proficient in the trade when he came here. No wonder then, that as an Englishman , he should be hostile to Mr. Adams's administration, and that as an Englishman , he should be referred to by King George's and the Ministerial hiring writers, as the best auto ity , for any charge against the federal government; upon a question of finance too, not
withstanding the confession, they are compelled to make, that "the Aurora " is indeed a Jacobin paper . I have been repeated instances of publications in "the Aurora ," by way of extract of a letter from upper or lower Canada, Quebec, Montreal, Halifax, India and from Old England, complimenting and congratulating Duane, upon his glorious warfare against the American government; assuring him that they believed every word in his paper to be true, and encouraging him to persevere in the laudable work of overthrowing the Federal Government, and setting the damn'd Rebels together by the ears.
What is the moral of all this? Why, that, let Duane's principles be what they may, he is an enemy to the Americans; his style of writing, his language and his views, are equally well adapted to favour our cause, as his own. Such is the language of all our enemies, and we see, that whether they are high church Britons or low church, Royalist or Jacobin Englishmen, Frenchmen, or Americans, all, all unite in praise of "the Aurora ." Do they praise it for "the ability with which it is conducted?" No! That they leave to the Editor himself. Do they praise it for its pre-eminence as a literary journal? No. Look at the list of authors it recommends to the public for their instruction in science and morals. Do they praise it for its typographical accuracy or elegance? No! For what papers are so inaccurately printed? For what then is the Aurora worthy of praise? It is worthy and it receives praise from our political enemies and our commercial enemies, because of its boldness and effrontery, in substituting assertion in the place of fact. For being the organ of a faction in this country inimical to the Federal Government; for reviving every measure adopted by the government, calculated to promote the dignity and independence of the United States. For defaming every character who takes a conspicuous part in public affairs, in order to disgust them with the public service; for its endeavours to excite the jealousy of the people against the moral honesty of men, who have the management of public monies; for undervaluing the utility of a navy establishment, and turning to ridicule the gallant conduct of our naval commanders and seamen. For all these things and others of like merit, the Editor of the Aurora deserves the loudest praises of the enemies of the American nation; he deserves that his paper should be the official authority to which the British government refer for the proof of facts. He deserves to be toasted at all the Jacobin Republican Festivals throughout this country; and lastly he merits the creaseless indignation and abhorrence of honest men throughout the globe. That such a newspaper should be tolerated in the capital city of the United States, is no proof of our laws are more favourable to the liberty of the press than those of other nations. On the contrary, it is a proof that our laws are incompetent to restrain or suppress its daring licentiousness; and any one may venture to predict with the utmost certainty, the speedy downfall of any government, that tolerates such a sapping engine within its jurisdiction. It circulates, like the blood in the human body, from the heart to the extremities; it pervades the entire frame, and being fraught with pestilence and vapour cannot fail to disise and eventually to accomplish a dissolution of the vital energies of government. The Coopers, the Callenders, the Lloyds, the Carr's, the Reynolds's, the Duane's, &c, nourish and support from the abundant streams of their fecitious imagination, the contagious flood of sedition, which daily issues from "the Aurora ."
These men are all foreigners; not one of them first saw the light of Heaven under the American canopy, and scarcely one of them can be named, that has not violated our laws and incurred some ignominious punishment, since they intruded themselves among us. In spite of all these facts, to the shame of my country be it confessed, that the newspaper called "the Aurora ," thus supplied, and thus composed, enjoys more patronage both at home and abroad, than any public newspaper in America. I say it will destroy the Federal Government; it has already destroyed much of the confidence and much of the well grounded attachment of the people to the Federal Government, and it seems to me, (if my view of opinions from this station be correct) that the American nation, has grown already tired of the government of their choice; it wills another government, and we all know the modern doctrine, that whatever a nation wills, it has a right to do. Well, I will say, with the man described in song, who when told the house in which he lived was on fire, exclaimed, "I am but a lodger." The Federal Constitution is mine in common with those of my countrymen who took it "for better for worse," and who would rather continue to be governed by it, than incur the risk of a change. Still I care not, if the sense of my country approve, how soon we exchange the Federal Government for a better.
But if the people of America, reflecting upon the past and rapid progress of the United States, to Empire and wealth in the space of less than twelve years, should attribute this prosperity to the benign influence of the federal government and to the operation of just, equal and wholesome laws; recollecting also with how much labor and difficulty the adoption of the federal constitution was obtained, should dread the renewal of an experiment of which no one can calculate the result; if such be the train of their thoughts, they will yet adhere to the federal constitution, as to the ark of their political salvation. They will consider, that at the time when a mighty deluge of political opinion prevailed throughout this continent, it was in this Ark that some of every kind and every denomination, took refuge, and after being tossed to and fro,
full forty days, the fluids subsided, dry land appeared, and the various tenants came forth, with perfect safety—Here they have dwelt, prospered and flourished, beyond the example of any other people. And shall we relinquish these advantages, shall we abandon our chiefest blessing, "for a mess of pottage?" Shall we desert our rulers, who never in the worst of times, deserted us, because a foreign emissary reviles them in order to recommend others of his choice? It cannot be.
