...the spirit of the American Republican.
...The 25th Bulletin: or THE GRAND BATTLE OF WAGRAM.
The Austrian army, as we have all along expected, and more than once predicted, has been overpowered by numbers, and compelled to retire from the borders of the Danube.
The twenty-fifth bulletin is extremely obscure and unsatisfactory, which is never the case when the French achieve a real victory.
From the Philadelphia Gazette. PARTY SPIRIT.
The deleterious operation of this principle in its effects upon society in every age, has been but too evident, and were mankind properly disposed to improve by the awful examples (placed as they are) to view by the page of History examples, so well suited to the reflection of the smallest capacity.
Americans, let our energy be excited to drive out of our happy shores the vindictive spirit of party.
...The German casualties must have been at least 120,000.
THE 25TH BULLETIN: or THE GRAND BATTLE OF WAGRAM.
The Austrian army, as we have all along expected, and more than once predicted, has been overpowered by numbers, and compelled to retire from the borders of the Danube.
The twenty-fifth bulletin is extremely obscure and unsatisfactory, which is never the case when the French achieve a real victory.
When night came on the enemy was every where put to flight and annihilated (this is not the ninth but certainly the fourth or fifth time that the French say they have annihilated the Austrians this campaign).
Evidently the truth is that the archduke Charles, like an able and prudent commander, like Buonaparte himself at the battle of Esslingen, when he found that it was impossible for him to maintain his ground much longer, determined not to throw away the lives of his brave soldiers, and retired at his leisure and in perfect order from the scene of battle.
The Austrian army are said to have had 800 or 900 pieces of cannon, and the French only claim to have taken 40, of which 15 were taken on the first day of battle, in the fortress of Sachsengang.
The battle of Wagram, will not cause the laurels of Prince Charles to fade. It is to be considered that Buonaparte has forty or fifty generals almost equal to himself, and that there are very few able commanders in the Austrian service, besides the generalissimo.
Capt. Coffin, of the ship Young Factor, from Belfast, (who arrived here a few days since) that on the 20th of July, the day before he sailed, his vessel lying in the river, he went on shore in his boat to procure some newspapers, &c. and was informed that the Collector of Belfast had just received an order for an embargo on all vessels, which was general throughout all the ports in Ireland.
Captain Crowell, of the sch'r Elizabeth, who arrived at Boston on Sunday from Cadiz, left there the 18th July; but brings neither papers nor political intelligence.
On Thursday last arrived at Portsmouth, N. H. ship Tom, Hall, 45 days from Gottenburg. Sailed the 24th of July with an English convoy, which he parted with off the Naze of Norway.
PHILADELPHIA, September 14. From a Gibraltar paper of July 26, received by the Anthony Mangin.
SPANISH AFFAIRS. FELIX, (in Catalonia), June 26.
After the battle of Belchite, the French rapidly marched upon and occupied Alcañiz, Val de Algora, Calceyte, Caspe (on the Ebro), and several other towns.
The preservation of this important fortress from capture, and that of Tortosa from invasion, are due to the patriotism and true military sagacity of the lieut. col. of Granada, governor of that town.
On the morning of the 25th, the enemy sent a flag of truce with new insidious proposal, to which was returned a most energetic answer; and, accordingly, they altered their course, desisting, for the present, from their hostile attempts upon Mequinenza.
LERIDA, July 24. A detachment of 200 horse, and 1000 foot, entered Fraga this afternoon, at four o'clock; and another of equal strength proceeded against Torrenta.
GERONA, June 19. The enemy, weak and irresolute, flattered themselves that the bombardment would strike us with terror and dismay, and throw the town into confusion.
SEVILLE, July 13. On the 23d of last month Geronu continued to make a most vigorous resistance. On the 10th the French evacuated the principality of Asturias.

PROPOSALS
For Insuring Houses, Buildings, 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 two 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 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 at this organization; 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 Sole 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 required 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, while 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 eligible PROPERTY
he now occupies is to be disposed of—it has about three and an half years to run.
