THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SHOW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIMES, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1809.
Mr. ERSKINE, the British Minister, arrived at Washington on the 28th of last month. THE PRESIDENT was expected there the next day.
The instructions of Mr. Erskine, of which so much has been said, are now before the publick, and so far from diminishing our astonishment, they serve to increase it. It is impossible, however, to read those instructions, and say that Mr. Erskine has pursued them in the arrangement he has made with this government. A few days more will, perhaps, develop some matters that are now shrouded in mystery. Did Mr. Erskine obey that part of his instructions, which directed him to communicate them to the American government? That is a question, which is of weighty consideration.
To argue upon, or to offer opinions upon diplomatic subjects, "without having a view of the whole ground," we know from experience, is attended with no advantage; for conjectures can only be offered for facts, and those conjectures may all be erroneous. Under all the circumstances of this most extraordinary case, we deem it most prudent to forbear in making any comments upon it at present.
Very late intelligence has been received from France, of which notice is taken in this day's paper, in addition to which we have been favoured with several extracts of letters from Bordeaux, to the 15th of June. They all speak in the same language, and agree in the opinion, that there is no hope of accommodating our matters with France. One of them (after noticing the state of market) says: "It is with much regret, however, that we have to say, that appearances on this side the water, are not calculated to justify the expectation of a speedy re-establishment of commercial relations. The American minister at Paris, had not so late as the 11th of this month (June) received any reply from this government, to the despatches brought by the Mentor; and those by the Siren, announcing an arrangement with Great-Britain, cannot be expected to meet a more favourable reception." Another letter, says: "The arrangement which your government has made with England, has produced additional disgust here, and now we are informed that no more permissions for your vessels to depart, will be granted."
To offer any comment upon the conduct of the French government towards the United States, appears to be a waste of time; there is no reasoning upon it, and with the rest of the world, we appear to be reconciled to her injustice, that submission is a matter of course. Her Berlin, Milan, and Bayonne decrees; her arrestsations and sequestrations of American property, not only in France, but in Hamburg and other neutral countries; her studied contempt of our minister at one time; her insolent demands at another, all united, and with many other injuries, excite no sensibility in this country.
The letters referred to, present a most wretched picture of the state of France; the produce of the country is hardly worth cultivation. Lately (we are told by letters from London) the French have found a market for a part of their surplus wheat; it is a fact that in the month of May, many cargoes of wheat arrived in England from France, which had the effect of lowering the price of American flour from 12 1-2 to 15 per cent. We have this from undoubted authority; it is not, however, the first time during the war, that the same thing has happened.
We shall make no remarks upon the French bulletins, they are noticed in very appropriate terms by the London papers. It may not be unworthy of notice, the silence of the French papers upon Spanish and Portuguese affairs. We look with confidence to pleasing intelligence from Spain.
PRICES CURRENT.
Table with 3 columns: Item, Price per unit, Price per cask. Items include Coffee, Bourbon, Cocoa, Cotton, Logwood, Pepper, Sugar, Tea, Tobacco, Brandy, Cargo Wine.

An Interesting Caution.
The non-intercourse law is now in operation against England, without any new act of the government of the United States; or in other words, the British orders in council never having been revoked, the non-intercourse law never ceased to be in force. (15.)
MR. ERSKINE'S INSTRUCTIONS.
Copy of a despatch from Mr. Secretary Canning to the Hon. D. M. Erskine; dated Foreign Office, 22d January, 1809.
SIR—If there really exists in those individuals who are to have a leading share in the new administration of the United States, that disposition to come to a complete and cordial understanding with Great-Bri-
tain, of which you have received from them and positive assurances; in meeting that disposition, it would be unseemly and unprofitable to recur to a recapitulation of the causes from which the differences between the two governments have arisen, or of the arguments already so often repeated in support of that system of retaliation to which his majesty has unwillingly had recourse.
That system his majesty must unquestionably continue to maintain, unless the object of it can be otherwise accomplished.
But after the profession on the part of so many of the leading ministers of the government of the United States, of a sincere desire to contribute to that object in a manner which should render the continuance of the system adopted by the British government unnecessary, it is thought right that a fair opportunity should be afforded to the American government to explain its meaning and give proof of its sincerity.
The extension of the interdiction of the American harbours to the ships of war of France as well as of Great-Britain, is, as stated in my former despatch, an acceptable symptom of a system of impartiality towards both belligerents; the first that has been publicly manifested by the American government.
The like extension of the non-importation act to other belligerents is equally proper in this view. These measures remove those preliminary objections which must otherwise have precluded any useful or amicable discussion.
In this state of things, it is possible for Great-Britain to entertain propositions, which, while such manifest partiality was shown to her enemies, were not consistent either with her dignity or her interest.
From the report of your conversations with Mr. Madison, Mr. Gallatin, and Mr. Smith, it appears: 1st. That the American government is prepared, in the event of his majesty's consenting to withdraw the orders in council of January and November, 1807, to withdraw contemporaneously on its part the interdiction of its harbours to ships of war, and all non-intercourse and non-importation acts, so far as respect Great-Britain, leaving them in force with respect to France, and the powers which adopt or act under her decrees.
2dly. (What is of the utmost importance, as precluding a new source of misunderstanding, which might arise after the adjustment of the other questions.) That America is willing to renounce, during the present war, the pretension of carrying on in time of war all trade with the enemy's colonies, from which she was excluded during peace.
3d. Great-Britain for the purpose of securing the operations of the embargo, and of the bona fide trading with France, and the powers adopting and acting under the French decrees, is to be considered as being at liberty to capture all such American vessels as may be found attempting to trade with the ports of any of these powers; without which security for the observance of the embargo, the raising it nominally with respect to Great-Britain alone, would in effect, raise it with respect to all the world.
On these conditions his majesty would consent to withdraw the orders in council of January and November, 1807, so far as respects America.
As the first and second of these conditions are the suggestions of the persons in authority in America to you, and as Mr. Pinkney has recently (but the first time) expressed to me his opinion, that there will be no indisposition on the part of his government to the enforcement by the naval power of Great-Britain of the regulations of America with respect to France, and the countries to which these regulations continue to apply, but that his government was itself aware, that without such enforcement these regulations must be altogether nugatory; I flatter myself that there will be no difficulty in obtaining a distinct and official recognition of these conditions from the American government.
For this purpose you are at liberty to communicate this dispatch in extenso to the American Secretary of State.
Upon receiving through you, on the part of the American government, a distinct and official recognition of the three mentioned conditions, his majesty will lose no time in sending to America a formal and regular treaty.
As, however, it is possible that the delay which must intervene before the actual conclusion of a treaty may appear to the American government to deprive this arrangement of part of its benefits, I am to authorise you, if the American government should be desirous of acting upon the agreement, before it is reduced to a regular form, (either by the immediate repeal of the embargo, and the other acts in question, or by engaging to repeal them on a particular day) to assure the American government of his majesty's readiness to meet such a disposition in the manner best calculated to give it immediate effect.
Upon the receipt here of an official note, containing an engagement for the adoption by the American government of the three conditions above specified, his majesty will be prepared, on the faith of such engagement, either immediately (if the repeal shall have been immediate in America) or on any day specified by the American government of that repeal reciprocally to recall the Orders in Council, without waiting for the conclusion of a treaty; and you are authorised, in the circumstances herein described, to make such reciprocal engagement on his majesty's behalf.
I am, &c.
GEORGE CANNING.
From the Boston Gazette, of July 24. By a review of the foreign intelligence in this day's paper, it appears that Buonaparte is intrenching himself on the island of Ilder Lobau, in the vicinity of Vienna; that every possible exertion was making to repair and improve the bridges across the Danube for which purpose as well as to assist in building and fitting up the bateaux to cruise on the river, he had drawn from Boulogne, a marine battalion, and a company of marine artificers; that no general battle had taken place between the main armies since the twenty-second May; that the archduke John had been compelled to retreat, before the armies of Italy and Dalmatia, after meeting some severe reverses; and had probably taken a direction for Hungary through Upper Austria, as the above armies had approached Vienna, and were forming a junction with the grand army, without succeeding in cutting him off; that the archduke Ferdinand had evacuated Warsaw, and was probably retreating from Poland, as it should seem to be a necessary step, to be immediately taken, since the declaration of Russia, and the possession by her troops, of the neighbouring country, through which he must pass to Hungary; that the archduke Charles was still at Breitenfeld, where his headquarters were fixed, after the battle of the 22d May, a distance of not more than 4 or 5 miles from Ebersdorff, and in sight of Vienna.
NEW YORK, July 27.
By the British steamer James, in 14 days from Port au Prince, we learn that Christophe and Pétion's fleet have recently had a severe engagement, in which the latter gained a very signal victory; and that their army had met near the Cape, about the same time, and that Christophe had defeated Pétion with very great slaughter.
FROM FRANCE.
The ship Hope, captain Humphries, 35 days from Bordeaux, arrived here yesterday. The Hope sailed by special permission with passengers. From the captain and passengers we learn, that
Bonaparte had not, nor would not relax his decrees against our commerce. It is the opinion of several passengers, that American vessels that sailed after the embargo bound to Holland, would be sequestrated.
The dispatch ship Siren, was ordered immediately to sail for England. The Mentor was waiting the orders of gen. Armstrong, at Paris; who, it was reported, would embark in her for America. When the Hope was leaving the Cordovan the 20th of June, the following letter was received from Bordeaux, dated the 15th of that month:
"The commissary of Marine at Rochfort, has just written to the maritime prefect at Bordeaux, not to grant any clearances to American vessels, as they had just heard that the commercial intercourse between America and France had been suspended by a law of the American Congress on the 20th of May last."
Paris papers are received to the 9th of June, but they contain nothing later than before received.
The following article was published in a French paper, and was deemed to be official:
ANTWERP, June 2.
In the present state of things, it may be regarded as certain, that the imperial decree of the 16th September, will be executed with more rigour than ever; and that its influence will extend to the allies of France on the continent; for, if ever there was a moment when a blow could be struck to the commerce of England, to the productions of her fabrics and to that of her colonies, it is the present one. Almost all the coast of Europe belongs to France, to her friends or allies. Trieste, as well as Sweden, are lost to England; and the Baltic sea will soon be surrounded by an army, who will protect it from the introduction of prohibited goods. No other system than that followed since a long time, can now be adopted without ruin to French commerce and French fabrics; and that facility of coming into our ports under the American flag, ought to be forbidden. These are truths of which all the commercial places of France are penetrated, particularly that of Paris.
PHILADELPHIA, July 27.
HIGHLY INTERESTING COMMERCIAL INFORMATION.
The following is an extract of a letter from Hamburg, dated May 19, 1809, from a house of the highest respectability to their friends in this city. The information it communicates is of a most pleasing nature.
"After a long interruption to our intercourse with your country, the American flag has again been displayed in this neighbourhood. Three vessels from Baltimore have arrived at Tonningen and Hussum; and altho' it is to be expected that more will follow, their cargoes, will be sold to great advantage. It is so long since we have been cut off from our regular supplies, that all the old stocks are almost entirely consumed; and it will require very great importations to replace them even in a small degree. Doubts have existed as to the admission of American ships in Danish ports: It is however, with pleasure we can state to you, that no difficulty has been made to their discharging; and should even the hostility of the French emperor to American commerce prevent the goods coming from your country from passing the lines of the French Douanes (custom-houses) sales can be effected at Altona and elsewhere out of these lines, so that the property can never come within the reach of these decrees."
The accounts you no doubt have received of the many restrictions which have been imposed on the trade of the continent, are well calculated to deter houses, with you, from making any shipments to this neighbourhood, as you cannot be acquainted with the exact extent of the danger, or the manner in which it can be avoided. Since the rescinding of the British orders of the 11th November, your vessels can trade to this river and to Danish ports with perfect security; but as a French custom-house is established here, we recommend to you not to expose any property to their grasp, by a direct shipment to this place until the French emperor has pronounced his intentions with regard to that trade. The Danish ports of Tonningen and Hussum offer more security, whence with a trifling additional expense, goods will find the way into the continental markets, without any risk whatever.
The only question therefore which remains is with regard to the admission of your ships into the Danish ports: this question is decided in the affirmative, and if we suppose a possibility of this determination on being changed by the interference of the French, it will operate no further than directing such ships away from their ports; and if nothing better offers, they will find a sale at Heligoland a small island of our river, from whence a good deal of contraband is carrying on with the coast.
All ports south of the Weser have been declared in a state of blockade. Their whole wants must be drawn from such supplies as may reach us from your country, and we have every reason to expect a brisk demand at high prices for the cargoes that may reach us; and although an over abundant importation may depress our present prices, we are of opinion they will continue sufficiently high amply to repay those who may adventure this way, and we feel ourselves justified in encouraging you to make some shipment without loss of time, as the first importations will receive proportionably a higher price.

THIRTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH ARMY.
Ebersdorff, May 28.
On the night of the 26th our bridges were carried away by the force of the waters, and mills which had been set afloat. We had not time to drive the piles and to fix the great train chain. One bridge is repaired, another will be to-morrow. On the 27th we heard of the arrival of the army of Italy at Bruck. General Lauriston has formed a junction with his army, not having heard from them for twelve days. The viceroy of this campaign has manifested a sang froid and foresight which evince a great commander. Jellachich, who by his insolent proclamation to the Tyrolese so inflamed their passions, has had his whole corps destroyed. The archduke John, who wrote with such excessive presumption to the duke of Ragusa, evacuated Gratz yesterday, scarcely carrying with him 20 or 25,000 men of the fine army that entered Italy—his arrogance has terminated in shame and infamy. The people of Italy accompanied our soldiers with tears and benedictions, and gave them every assistance. Their contempt and hatred of the archduke John were only equalled by their joy at our triumphal approach. Certain papers showed that they bore a great love to the emperor, and would not accept offices under the Austrian government.
The regiments of Italy, who distinguished themselves in Poland, covered themselves with glory. This charming country is rapidly progressing to the most happy destinies. All the accounts from the Austrian army state their loss on the 21st and 22d, to have been enormous; the flower of the army perished. The wits of Vienna say that "gen. Danu-
be saved the Austrian army." Tyrol and Veltberg are subjugated. Carniola, Styria, Carinthia, Salzburg, Upper and Lower Austria, are tranquillised and disarmed!
When Trieste was taken possession of, all English colonial produce was confiscated. Saving the Russian squadron was a circumstance peculiar gratifying to the emperor. The junction of the army of Dalmatia approaches.
The brigadier Schill, who truly gives himself the title of general in the service of England, who prostrates the name of the king of Prussia as the satellites of England do that of Finland, has been driven to an island in the Elbe. The king of Westphalia, besides 15,000 native troops, has one Dutch and one French division; add to this two divisions of a corps of observation under Riboud and Despeaux, and Beaumont's 3000 cavalry, now disposable by the pacification of Swabia.
The destruction of forty mills which supplied the city of Vienna with bread, is evidence of the hatred of the princes of the house of Lorraine to that city!!
FOURTEENTH BULLETIN.
Ebersdorff, June 1.
The bridges on the Danube are entirely rebuilt. They have added to them a flying bridge, and they are preparing all the materials necessary for throwing over another bridge of rafts. Seven machines are driving piles; but the Danube being in several places 24 and 26 feet deep, much time is always taken up in fixing the anchors as the machines are removed. The works however are advancing, and will shortly be finished.
The brigadier general of engineers, Lazowski, is working on the left bank, on the head of a bridge which will be 1600 toises in extent, and will be covered with a good ditch, filled with running water.
The 44th crew of the flotilla of Boulogne, commanded by capt. Basté, has arrived. A great number of boats cruise about the islands, cover the bridge, and render a variety of services.
The battalion of navy workmen is employed in making small armed vessels, which will serve to command the river perfectly.
After the defeat of the corps of gen. Jalachich, M. Mathieu, an officer attached to the army of Italy, was sent with a dragonon express on the road to Salzburg; having met in succession with a column of 650 troops of the line, and a column of 2000 Landwehrs who were wounded and straggling, summoned them to surrender, and they laid down their arms.
Lauriston, general of division, arrived at Oldenburg, the first county of Hungary, with a strong advanced guard. It appears that there is some emotion in Hungary, that the minds of the people are very much divided, and that the majority is in favour of Austria.
Lasselle, general of division, has his head quarters opposite Presburg, and has advanced his posts to Altenburg and near to the Rash.
Three divisions of the army of Italy have arrived at Neustadt. The viceroy has been for two days at the head quarters of the emperor.
General Macdonald, commander of a corps of the army of Italy, has entered Gratz. They found in this capital of Styria, immense magazines of provisions and clothing, and equipments of every sort.
The duke of Dantzick is at Lintz. The prince of Ponte Corvo (Bernadotte) is marching for Vienna, with the Wurtembergers, is at Saint Pölten, Mautern and Krems.
Tranquility prevails in the Tyrol. Cut off by the movements of the duke of Dantzick and of the army of Italy, all the Austrians, who had impudently engaged at this point, have been destroyed, partly by the duke of Dantzick; and the rest, such as the corps of Jellachich, by the army of Italy. Those who were in Swabia had no other resource but to attempt in parties to traverse Germany but to attempt to traverse Germany on their way to the Upper Palatinate. They formed a small column of infantry and cavalry who escaped from Lintz, and was met by col. Reiset, of gen. Beaumont's corps of observations. The column was cut off at Neumark, and the whole body, officers and soldiers, laid down their arms.
Vienna is quiet; bread and wine are abundant, but meat, which this capital gets from the interior of Hungary, begins to grow scarce. Contrary to all reasons of policy and humanity, the enemy do every thing to starve their countrymen, and this city, which contains their wives and children. This conduct is very different from that of our Henry IV, who himself supplied an enemy's city he was besieging.
The duke of Montebello (Lanes) died yesterday at 5 o'clock in the morning. Some time before the emperor conversed an hour with him. His majesty sent, by gen. Rapp, his aid-de-camp, for Dr. Franc, one of the most celebrated physicians of Europe. His wounds were in good condition; but a destructive fever had made the most injurious progress in a few hours. All the aid of the art was unavailing. His majesty ordered the body of the duke of Montebello to be embalmed and carried to France, to receive the honours due to his high rank and eminent services. Thus has departed one of the most distinguished soldiers that France has had. In the numerous battles he had been in he had received 13 wounds. The emperor has shown great sensibility on this loss, which will be felt by all Frenchmen.
FIFTEENTH BULLETIN.
Ebersdorff, June 2.
The army of Dalmatia has gained the greatest success. It defeated every thing that opposed it at Mont Kitra, Grandschatz, Lieca and O-tschatz. The commander in chief, Sloissevich, was taken. The duke of Ragusa arrived on the 28th of May at Fiume, and formed a junction with the grand army, of which the army of Dalmatia was the right extreme. We will make known the relation of the duke of Ragusa on these events.
On the 28th an English squadron of four ships of the line, two frigates, and a brig appeared before Trieste, with the intention of taking the Russian squadron. The general count Cafferelli, had just arrived then. As the city had no cannon, the Russians landed 24 thirty-sixes, and 16 twenty-fours, and fixed them in battery, and immediately clapped springs on their cables. Every thing was prepared to receive the enemy, who having missed his aim, retired. 1000 Austrians who had passed from Krems to the right bank of the Danube were defeated by the Wurtemberg corps, who made 60 prisoners.
SIXTEENTH BULLETIN.
Ebersdorff, June 4.
The enemy had thrown a division of nine thousand men on the right bank of the Danube, opposite Presburg, which was entrenched in the village of Euge-tau. The duke of Auerstadt ordered the riflemen (tirailleurs) of Hesse Darmstadt, supported by the 12th of the line (infantry) to attack it yesterday. The village was soon carried. A major, 8 officers of the regiment of Benilieu (among them the grandson of that field marshal) and four hundred men were taken. The rest of the regiment were killed, wounded or driven into the river. The remainder of the division secured themselves in an island till they could repass the river. The riflemen of Hesse Darmstadt fought well.
The vice-roy's head-quarters are this day at Oldenburg.
The most valuable effects of the court have been removed from Bude to Peterawadin, whither the emperor is retired.

The duke of Ragusa is arrived at Laybach. General Macdonald is master of Gratz. He is surrounding the citadel, which makes a show of resistance. At the battle of Essling the brigadier Foulers, being wounded, was thrown from his horse; and major-general Durosnel, one of the emperor's aids, while carrying orders to a division of cuirassiers who were charging, was also thrown. We have the satisfaction of learning that these two generals and one hundred and fifty men that we supposed lost, are only wounded, and were found in the field, when the emperor gave orders to concentrate between Essling and Gross-Aspern on hearing that the bridges of the Danube had given way. The Danube is lowering; though from the continuation of the heats, a rise is feared.
From the army of the grand duchy of Warsaw. After the capture of the bridge of Gora, the enemy having abandoned the right bank of the Vistula, the army under the command of prince Poniatowski was divided into two columns; the first ascending the Vistula to Pulawy, the other marching to Kock; on the 14th Poniatowski entered Lublin, and the next day marched towards Sandomir. Part of the enemy entered Pizeworski and cut off the communication between Lemberg and Cracow. General Kozniecicki, with four hundred cavalry, took seven hundred and forty prisoners, comprising a major and nine other officers; also sundry arms, shoes and clothing. Poniatowski succeeded in an attack on Sandomir, which was strongly fortified. The enemy lost one thousand men killed, 1200 prisoners, twenty cannon, and considerable stores. Poniatowski's cavalry extending to Leopold is pushing on to Cracow. They have set free 5000 men who had been enlisted by force. On the 14th, Thorn was attacked. The tete-de-pont was not in a state of defence. The garrison burnt that part of the bridge which communicated with it, and took possession of the island. This movement was made, after an affair very destructive to the enemy, who, not being able to pass the river, gave up the enterprise, when he saw the good appearance of the city. On the 15th, the enemy under Plock attempted the passage of the Vistula, but were repulsed and obliged to burn their boats. From the 16th to the 23d, gen. Dombrowski attacked the enemy between Bromberg and Czento-chow, and repulsed him with effect before Bromberg, afforded full protection to Czento-chow and Thorn, and secured the communication of this latter place with Inozrachow.
NEW-YORK, July 26. The British Packet Windsor Castle, Capt. Sutton, from Falmouth, via Halifax, came into port yesterday. By the Packet the editors of the New-York Gazette have received the London Traveller of the evening of the 12th June, from which they have copied the following articles. As the mail was not assorted last evening, we are unable to give a regular detail of political and marine information from the London papers and Lloyd's lists.
LONDON, June 12. Dutch Gazettes to the 8th, and Paris papers to the 4th inst. have reached us. The former communicate the death of the gallant Schill. He fell at the head of his brave followers, contending for glory and independence, in the heart of the city of Stralsund, of which it appears he had been in complete possession. Stralsund was attacked by the French general Gration, whose report of the action is not very clear. The fate of the intrepid Schill was a circumstance too important to be passed over; but the conclusion of the affair is not noticed with precision; we are merely told that his troops were thrown into confusion. The Moniteur contains a detail of the operations of the army of Italy, almost from the first reverses of the Austrians in that quarter to the capture of Trieste, and the junction of the army with that part of the French force in Germany commanded by gen. Lauriston. If we are to give implicit confidence to this detail, the trophies gained by his son-in-law, Eugene Beauharnais, are not less brilliant than those of Buonaparte himself in his most successful campaigns. We are assured that the French army has in this extraordinary career of victory, taken 25,000 prisoners, 60 pieces of cannon, and 10 standards. Of the accomplishment of the object in view, no doubt, we think, can be entertained; but when we are gravely assured, that six hundred Austrians were taken by a lieutenant and twelve men, we are surely justified in considering these official accounts very grossly exaggerated. We have received Lisbon Gazettes to the third instant. The supreme junta of government in Spain has directed a decree confiscating all the property of the Spanish nobles and other persons who had adhered to the French interest; ordering also that these persons therein named, should be arrested and carried before the tribunal of publick welfare, to be tried and punished for high treason. The papers contain a correspondence between marshal Beresford and the Portuguese general Mahy, announcing some particular actions between the latter with the French who were shut up in Lugo, when Ney marched to the Asturias. The amount of the French force in Galicia is between 6 and 7000 men. In an action which took place in Ponte Nuevo, between Mina and Lugo, the French lost 2000 men in killed and wounded, besides 2000 Germans, who deserted, and came over to the Spanish army. Lugo has been recaptured, and 4000 prisoners taken. According to the accounts transmitted, the situation of marshal Ney is very precarious. There was every reason to suppose, from the aspect of affairs, that Galicia would be speedily cleared of the enemy. A French column of 3000 infantry and 500 horse had been completely routed near Santiago; the remains had fled for Corunna, abandoning the former place, which the Spanish troops entered on the 23d, finding considerable magazines of arms and ammunition therein. The marquis de la Romana was at Santiago. Vigo is occupied by his brother, with a force of 7000 men. This morning arrived a mail from Gottenburgh. The possession of Stralsund by the patriotick Schill is mentioned in terms of high satisfaction; but his unfortunate fate does not appear to have been known when the mail was sent off. The war continues with vigour between the Russians and Swedes.
From a London paper of the 12th of June, received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser. FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. ARMY OF ITALY. PARIS, June 2. The vice-roy commander in chief informs the minister at war of the progress of the operations of the army of Italy. After the passage of the Tagliamento, and the advantages gained in the battle of St. Daniel, the rear guard of the enemy, which was continually pursued, sword in hand, was come up with at Venzone by our advanced guard, commanded by gen. Desaix. It made a show of resistance, but was soon defeated, and 450 prisoners were taken, among them were several officers of the staff. General Colloredo, who commanded it, was wounded in the thigh, by a
musket ball. Our loss consisted in two killed and fifty-four wounded. The enemy had burnt all the bridges of the Fella; but this obstacle was surmounted. He had fortified himself at the foot of Malborghetto, and on Mount Predel. These positions were turned; the former under the fire of the fort, and without losing a single man; the other through the valleys Roccolana and Dagna. The troops appointed to these movements met with the enemy at Tarvis, and carried that town at the first attack. The fort of Malborghetto was cannonaded on the 17th, from 5 in the morning until half after 9, the assault was then ordered. In one half hour all the palisades were attacked and carried at once, and the enemy pursued and driven with great slaughter into his last entrenchments. He left 300 men dead on the spot, and 350 were made prisoners. Two howitzers, five pieces of 3, and one of 6, three of 12, and considerable magazines were taken. The capture of this fort, which was called the Aspo of Carniola, cost us only eighty men in killed and wounded. The small number of our wounded is to be attributed to the rapidity with which our troops rushed forward. The prince Viceroy praises gen. Grenier, who directed every thing under his orders; gen. Durettes, and gen. Paithad, who first entered the enemy's entrenchments; the chief of battalion, Ameretti, who was wounded; and captain Berlin, of the artillery. The grenadiers and voligeurs of the 1st of the line, of the 52d, 62d, and 102d, particularly distinguished themselves. On the same day, and immediately after the taking of the fort of Malborghetto, the prince Viceroy marched upon Tarvis, where a new victory crowned the work of the day. The enemy was posted on the other side of the narrow and deep valley, through which the Schleza flows, occupying with five regiments of the line and several Croats, a double line of redoubts raised on the above another, and furnished with 25 pieces of cannon. In his rear was seen a numerous cavalry. These corps were commanded by the generals Gulari and Fremont. Our advanced guard, supported by the brigades Abbe and Valentin, attacked the front, and the division Fontanelli, the left of the enemy. This division, which had not yet received its artillery, was not restrained by the fire of the enemy's batteries, to which it only answered by sounding the charge, and overthrowing with the bayonet every thing which stood before it. The enemy fled in the greatest disorder, and the advanced guard rendered the route complete. He left on the field of battle a great number of dead; 3000 were made prisoners, and 17 pieces of cannon taken. We lost, in killed and wounded, only 200 men. The artillery of the army, as well as the division Serris, were detained by the fort of Predel. The Viceroy ordered Gen. Grenier to advance with three battalions and two pieces of cannon into the valley of Ried, to attack the fort in the rear, which general Serris, who had been informed of this movement, attacked in front, in a quarter of an hour the fort was carried, and all who were within the palisades put to the sword. Of 400 men, of which the garrison consisted, only two escaped. Eight pieces of cannon were found in the fort. On the 19th, 20th, and 21st, the army from Tarvis arrived at Villach, Klagenfurt, and Saine-Wein. On the 22d, 23d, and 24th, it entered Freisach, Ungmark and Knittelfeld. The right wing of the army, commanded by gen. Macdonald and consisting of the divisions of Broussier and Lamarque, and of the division of dragoons of Pully had been directed upon Goritz. It passed the Isonzo on the 14th, and on the 15th took a position beyond Goritz. Eleven pieces of cannon, two mortars, and several carriages for artillery, were taken at Goritz. On the 17th, the division of Broussier forced the enemy before Prevaldi, and obliged him to retire precipitately upon Laybach. The division of Lamarque, which marched by the roads of Podrel and Poderay, every where defeated the enemy in the passes, and made 400 prisoners, among whom were one colonel and 15 officers, and took on piece of cannon. On the 18th, gen. Schults entered Trieste, & made on his march between 4 and 500 prisoners. On the 20th, gen. Broussier summoned the forts of Prevaldi, which capitulated; 2000 men laid down their arms; 15 pieces of cannon, and considerable magazines of provisions and ammunition were taken. On the 21st, the forts of Laybach were reconnoitred, and closely invested. Gen. Macdonald appointed gen. Lamarque to the attack of the left, and gen. Broussier to that of the right. The cavalry was disposed in such a manner as to cut off the retreat of the enemy. On the same day, in the evening, these forts, which have cost enormous sums to Austria, offered to capitulate. The generals Giusai and Zsch on seeing the dispositions for attacks, made their escape with some hundreds of men. Our Lieut. Gen. one colonel, three majors, 1313 officers, and 4000 men laid down their arms. There were found in the forts 4 standards, 8000 muskets, and considerable magazines. When the army of Italy arrived at Knittelfeld, the Prince Viceroy was informed that the remains of the corps of gen. Jellachich, escaped from the army of Germany, had been joined at Rotenmain by different battalions from the interior, and forming a corps of 7 or 8000 men, and were on their way to Leoben. The division of Serris received orders to make forced marches to arrive before him at the branching off of the roads. On the 25th, at nine in the morning, the advanced guard met with the enemy, who debouched by the road of Mauterndorf. The enemy formed in the advantageous position of St. Michael with his right, and supported by steep mountains, his left on the Mur, and his centre occupying a raised plain of difficult access. Gen. Serris was charged with the front, with a brigade of his division and a brigade of the division of Dunette, commanded by gen. Valentin. He had in the rear of his line the 9th and 6th horse chasours, commanded by colonels Priare and de la Croix, aides-de-camp of the Prince; gen. Dunette was in reserve with the rest of his division. About two, the attack commenced along the whole line; the enemy were everywhere defeated; the plain was carried, and the cavalry completed the route. Eight hundred Austrians remained on the field of battle, 1200 wounded, and 4200, among whom are 70 officers, were made prisoners. Two pieces of cannon and one standard were taken. Gen. Jellachich, with the other generals and 60 dragoons, fled at full gallop. Gen. Serris, at six in the evening, entered Leoben, where he made 600 prisoners. Nearly the same number made their escape into the mountains, after having thrown away their arms. Thus all that remained of the corps of Jellachich were destroyed this day. The Prince Viceroy highly commends the behaviour of the generals and several of the officers, among others lieut. Bourgeois, of the 102d, who with 4 horse-chasours, and 8 infantry, made 600 prisoners. On the next day, the 26th at noon, the army of Italy arrived at Bruhl, where it erected a junction with gen. Lauriston, and the army of Germany.
PROCLAMATION. Soldiers of the Army of Italy. You have gloriously attained the end which I pointed out to you. The Somering has been witness to your junction with the grand army. You are welcome! I am satisfied with you. Surprised by a perfidious enemy before your columns had joined, you were obliged to retrograde to the Adige. But when you received orders to march forward, you were in
the memorable field of Aspern, and there you were, by the name of one hero, returned. You kept your word at the battle of the Place, at the battle of St. Daniel, of Tavis, of Gratz. You took by assault the fort of Malborghetto and Predel, and forced the division of the enemy, intrenched at Prevaldi and Laybach, to capitulate. You had not yet passed the Drave, and already 25,000 prisoners, 60 pieces of cannon, and 10 standards, had signalled your valor. Afterwards, the Drave, the Save, the Muer, could not impede your march. The Austrian column of Jellachich, which first entered Munich, which gave the signal for the massacres in the Tyrol, surrounded at St. Michael, fell beneath your bayonets, you have executed speedy justice on these slaughtered remains which had escaped the rage of the grand army. Soldiers, this Austrian army of Italy, which for a moment had polluted my provinces by its presence, which pretended to break my iron crown, beaten, dispersed, annihilated, thanks to you, shall be an example of the truth of the motto—"God has given it to me, woe to him who touches it." (Signed) NAPOLEON. By the Emperor, The Prince of Neufchatel, Major General of the Army. ALEXANDER. Ebersdorf, May 27, 1809.
AMSTERDAM, June 7. His excellency lieut. gen. Gration, stating, that with the troops under his command he attacked Stralsund on the 31st May, and rendered himself master of that place, after a severe conflict which lasted two hours. Our troops penetrated into that city by a gate which was defended by 20 pieces of cannon, and the action was continued in the streets where the French fought man to man. According to the general's report, the conflict must have been of the most obstinate and sanguinary nature. Schill was killed, and his troops are thrown into confusion; one third of his corps is slain. We have also lost some brave men, and among others lieut. gen. Carteret. Gen. Gration promises a more detailed report of the action, in which he says our troops have covered themselves with glory. [Royal Amsterdam Gazette.] BY THIS DAY'S MAIL. LATEST FROM PORTUGAL. By the Fair American, Hobson, from Lisbon, we are put in possession of a file of Lisbon Gazettes to the 16th June. The following is from the supplement of the 16th. It is one number of a series of papers, entitled "The Diary of Military Operations of General Sylveira," &c.
LISBON, June 16. Extract from the Diary of military operations of Gen. Francisco Sylveira, from the commencement of the invasion of the French to their final expulsion from these kingdoms. On the 11th, the Gen. Sylveira reinforced his advanced guard at Cus. Nove with a considerable body of troops. On the 12th, in the morning began the fire between advanced bodies at Ovelha, and at 11 o'clock the combat became general. The enemy's army consisted of from 4 to 5000 men in the most advantageous situation, well supplied with cavalry and supported by 6 pieces of cannon. Three times they were driven from different positions they had kept up, for eight hours the most terrible fire was maintained, but the enemy was forced to retire to the mountains of Galicia, leaving our men in possession of the field, and but at a small distance from them. On the morning of the 13th, Gen. Sylveira wishing to renew the combat found the enemy most shamefully decamped in the night. Gen. Sylveira followed them up but could not come up with them but took possession of 3 pieces of cannon, a vast quantity of ammunition, baggage, with a number of horses. Gen. Sylveira marched with his advanced guard to occupy Manhouse, on the road to St. Gons and Gerimaret. On this day col. Antonio Manuel de Carvalho with 600 men, by order of Sylveira, entered the town of Penafiel. At the same time when the enemy were retreating with their baggage to Porto, the guards who attended the baggage, on the knowledge of the arrival of our troops, fled with precipitation, and left in our possession 119 waggons, 12 pieces of heavy cannon, the greatest part of the remaining baggage and waggons they destroyed and burnt. At this period the general in chief of the Portuguese army arrived at Amarante, and having learnt that the enemy were on their march to Salamanca, he ordered general Sylveira to march immediately for Tamega, a position on the heights of Mont Algere. On account of the violent rains which fell on the 14th and 15th, our troops were prevented marching. On the 16th Gen. Sylveira entered the Bousas with the 1st division of his troops, the 2d division arrived at the foot of Monte Alegre, where the enemy then were—on the 18th Gen. Sylveira went to reconnoitre the enemy, finding them retreating with precipitation, he fell upon their rear, upon which they immediately fled to the mountains of Galicia. Gen. S. cannot speak too highly of the army, of the hardships they endured, and of the proofs of heroism they evinced in defence of the bridge of Amarante, at which the firing for 15 days never intermitted night or day.
Head-Quarters, at Chaves, 21st of May. Francisco de Sylveira Pinto de Vasconça. NEW YORK, July 28. SURRENDER OF THE CITY OF ST. DOMINGO. By the British ship William Penning we have received Port-au-Prince papers to the 1st inst. from which we have translated the following article: From the Port-au-Prince Gazette of July 1, 1809. Extract of a letter from a native Haytian at St. Domingo to his friend in this place, (Port-au-Prince) dated June 18th. "After the very long siege we have suffered, and having endured all the calamities attached thereto, and reduced to the food of every species of animal that could be found, and the small portion of stale provisions we had on hand, we have at last been obliged to surrender to the British, who blockaded our port, and prevented our receiving any supplies. The terms of capitulation are, that the French are to deliver up the town, with all its ammunition, guns, &c. and the English are to furnish vessels to transport the French garrison to Europe."
Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile house in Bordeaux, dated June 15th, received by the Hope. "We have only time to say, that the minister of marine has just ordered that no more clearances shall be granted for the United States, as the commercial intercourse between the two nations is at an end since the 20th May, by virtue of a law of congress. We have formed no opinion yet on the meaning of this measure—yet think it promises nothing very favourable to American vessels that may enter ports under our controul. "St. Andre is positively in the hands of the insurgents."
Captain Whiting, who arrived at Boston on Monday, in 78 days from Tarragona, and 46 from Algiers, informs, that the French in transports had thrown some supplies into Barcelona; but had not been able to penetrate on land so as to supply Tarragona.
From the London Gazette of June 3. At the court at the Queen's palace, the 31st of May, 1809. PRESENT. The King's most excellent majesty in council. Whereas his majesty, by his order in council of the 23th day of May inst. was pleased to order that the orders of his majesty in council of the 7th of January and 11th of November 1807, should be suspended, so far as was necessary for the protection of the U. States of America, sailing for or from the ports of Holland, for a limited time, and under certain circumstances; his majesty more distinctly to ascertain the southern boundary of the countries to be taken as comprized under the description of Holland in such order is pleased, by and with the advice of his privy council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the said order shall not be construed to extend or to comprehend the island of Walcheren, which is in the possession of France, or any port or place south of the said island; but, nevertheless, no vessel of the United States, which shall have been destined to the island of Walcheren, or to any port or place on the north bank of the river Schelde, shall be liable to capture under this order, unless such vessel shall have been informed of this order on her voyage, and warned by any of his majesty's ships or privateers not to proceed to the said island of Walcheren, or to any port or place in the river Schelde: And the right hon. the lords commissioners of his majesty's treasury, his majesty's principal secretaries of state, the lords commissioners of the admiralty, and the judge of the high court of admiralty, are to take the necessary measures herein as to them may respectively appertain. S. COTTRELL.

A BARGAIN OFFERED,
In a fine and Valuable FARM,
in the County of Princess Anne.
The Subscriber is disposed to sell his Plantation called LEVEL GREEN, situated in the county of Princess Anne. It contains about 360 acres; and, as it may be advantageously divided into two or three Farms, the subscriber will accommodate a purchaser, in selling either the whole or a part. He will also give a long credit. This tract of Land is certainly the most desirable in the county, lying on the Eastern branch of Elizabeth River, and distant from Norfolk Market only five or six miles by water, and 8 or 9 by land. The soil is excellent, about one half of the tract being cleared land, and fit for immediate culture; the other heavily timbered with Oak, Pine, Ash, and Hickory. It has also the advantage of several good Buildings—Any one disposed to view the land, and to purchase, may apply, in the absence of the subscriber, to JAMES ROBINSON, or JOHN READ, who reside in the neighbourhood.

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.

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.

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—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, Maltsters, 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, 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 ratable 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 such other insurance is made on the same property; and shall procure 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 the fire, 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, of 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.

Two Valuable FARMS for Sale.
I offer the following Valuable Property for Sale, viz. my Farm in Harvey's Neck, and a Tract of Land lying on the N. E. side of Pequinian's River, containing 166 acres (directly opposite the Farm), one other Tract containing 200 acres, lying on the S. W. side of said river, about four miles above the Farm, both these tracts are well timbered.
I will also sell the FARM on which I live, and my wharf and Lots in Edenton, with the improvements. The Farm in Harvey's Neck contains 220 acres, 200 of which are cleared, and in a high state of cultivation; in point of fertility of soil, it is not surpassed by any in this part of the state, the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of Wheat and Indian Corn. Wheat in particular, the White Clover grows (almost spontaneously) in the greatest abundance. I have made on this farm in one season from 50,000 hills, 320 barrels of Corn; this place is situated on the S. W. bank of Pequinian's River, near the mouth of it, a delightful prospect, in an agreeable neighbourhood; on it is a convenient Dwelling-House, with every necessary out-house. The two Tracts on the same river is considered as appendages to this Farm, for the purpose of supplying it with timber, &c. There is an excellent well of water, and the situation is considered to be as healthy as any in that part of the country; with the farm may be had from 15 to 20 good order Negroes, 100 head of sheep, 150 head of hogs, 40 or 50 head of cattle, horses, oxen, and all the farming utensils, &c.
The Farm on which I live, contains 500 acres, 200 of which are cleared and under good fence and in prime order, the rest is covered with good timber; the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of wheat and corn, and with very little labour from 30 to 40 acres might be cultivated in Rice to great advantage; it is supposed (and I have no doubt of it) that this place would admit of having one of the best Herring and Shad Fisheries in this state, and could be carried on very extensively at a small expence; the situation is excelled by none, it lies on the bank of Albemarle Sound, being the N. E. point of the bay of Edenton, 4 miles by water and 5 by land from the town; it is an elevated situation and very healthy; there is on the Farm a convenient Dwelling-House and every necessary out-house, a most excellent well of water, a number of choice fruit trees, and a large garden newly inclosed, which affords the greatest abundance of vegetables of every kind necessary for family use. This Farm is a most desirable situation for a gentleman who wishes to retire with his family on a country seat. With the Farm may be had from 10 to 20 valuable negroes, 75 to 100 head of sheep, 50 head of cattle, 100 to 200 head of hogs, horses, oxen, and every necessary implement of husbandry.
The Wharf and Lots in Edenton is one of the best situations in town for shipping business and a retail store; a large new Ware-House three stories high, stands on the head of the wharf, and several other houses. The property will be thrown, and the terms (which will be very moderate) will be known by applying to me.
