MEMINGER & COOPER. Martinsburg, December 13, 1805.
IN the county of Berkeley, and state of Virginia, is wanted a Minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church, to officiate at three places of public worship in said county, sufficiently convenient to each other. The members of said Church have obtained subscriptions amounting nearly to five hundred dollars for the support of a minister, which, for a man who can come well recommended for piety and morality, and sufficiently possessed of oratorical powers to enable him to please the people, there is every reason to believe, will be increased and rendered permanent, to be paid semiannually; as the subscribers will use every exertion for that purpose; to either of whom application may be made. Any person who should apply, will be requested to exhibit a certificate of his ordination in the said Church, and sufficient recommendations as above mentioned.

Copy of a letter from captain John Stinson, commander of the ship Huntress , to the secretary of the navy.
LONDON, August 20, 1805.
SIR—On my arrival at Liverpool, I wrote for the information of government, giving a statement of the capture of the ship Huntress , laden with government stores. On my arrival here Mr. Layman, informed me he had not written, induced me to forward this last the first might miscarry.
On June the 1st, lat 36, 20, N. long. 74, 50, was brought too by a Spanish schooner privateer called La Maria , commanded by Antonio Lebo, from Porto Rico. The reason Lebo gave for detaining the ship was, her being bound for a British port, and not having a Spanish passport. After robbing the ship of ten barrels of bread, one barrel of tar and sundry other articles, took all my crew out excepting the cabin boy, put a prize master and 11 Spaniards on board, and ordered the ship for Porto Rico.
On June 9th in sight of Bermuda, was re-taken by two English Guineamen; after taking the Spaniards out put a prize master and crew on board, and ordered the ship for Liverpool, where she arrived on the 16th ult. much damaged.
I have the honor to be, Your very humble servant, (Signed) J. Stinson.

U. S. Gun Boat, No. 3.
Harbour of Algesiras, June 15, 1805.
SIR, I have the honor to acquaint your excellency, that I was this morning brought to by four armed boats under Spanish colours who after exercising the utmost insolence, and without assigning the smallest reason, conducted me to this port.
The orders received from government were to proceed with all possible dispatch, to the commander of the American squadron in the Mediterranean. The serious consequences attending this unwarrantable detention must be too obvious to your excellency to require remark. I shall only observe that if your government authorises indignities of this nature, to my own I must appeal for redress. I am sensible however that this cannot be the case, and persuade myself that your excellency will readily redress the insult offered to the American flag, in this instance, and take measures to prevent a repetition.
Under this impression,
I am, very respectfully, your most obedient,

Harbour of Syracuse, July 8, 1805.
SIR, I have to acquaint you that on the morning of the 15th of June last, Gibraltar bearing N. E. distant 2 leagues, was brought to by 4 Spanish Gun-Boats, who without examining a paper or assigning any other reason, than their suspicion of my being an Englishman, took charge and conducted me into Algesiras.
It is necessary to remark, that my guns were at that time in the hold. Immediately on my arrival I stated officially the circumstance to the general of marines, which I also enclose for your perusal. The boat was instantly discharged with many apologies and offers of supplies and
She had on board, besides the ordinary marine papers, a special passport from the President of the United States, reciting the nature of her cargo and its destination for the supply of the Mediterranean squadron of the United States. She had also the passports of the British and French ministers.
assistance, should I stand in need of them. I was requested to wait a short time the general's answer. I did so till 4 P. M. Apprehensive I might be detained much longer, and knowing the importance of the boat's joining you without the smallest delay, I weighed without it, and stood over the Rock, where, for the first time since our separation on the 13th May, I found the John Adams.
I should have waited on the general of marine personally, but could not procure pratique.
I proceeded immediately to mounting my guns, and sailed from Gibraltar the 16th June.
I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, sir, Your most obedient, (Signed) JOS. J. MAXWELL, Com. Rodgers.
Extract of a letter from Charles Pinckney, esq. minister at Madrid, to the secretary of state, dated, Aug. 1805.
I HAVE written to you lately very often, informing you of the Spaniards being now in the habit of capturing our vessels as much as during the last war. The following is the list transmitted to me of American vessels taken by the Spaniards, and sent into Algesiras for adjudication, since the date of my last to you:
Brigantine Anne Isabel , of Virginia, Williams, master. Brigantine Vererica , Penn. Brigantine Dido , Shail, master, from Marblehead. Ship Mary , Robert Stevenson. Ship Eagle , Nehemiah Shaler, last from Liverpool. Brigantine Jefferson , Simon Bahmond. Brigantine Polly and Nancy , of Baltimore, John Croan. Schooner Molengue , John Waterman, of New-York. Schooner Leffen , William Mavet, of Virginia. Brigantine Diana , Silvester Simmons, of New-Haven.
Extract of a letter from Charles Pinckney, esq. minister at Madrid, to the secretary of state, dated Sept. 22, 1805.
MY last informed you that I was still under the necessity of remaining here until the 2d of October, on account of all the mules being embargoed for the king's service until that day, so that I could not before go to the Sitio to take leave; that I had still been without the pleasure of seeing Mr. Irving or Mr. Boudoin, and that not being able to wait for them any longer, I should when I went away, leave Mr. Young charged with our affairs until they or one of them, came; that, during this time, and constantly, I had been busily employed with this court, endeavoring to arrest the numerous depredations of their privateers on our commerce, and their condemnations of our vessels, and that to do this my exertions have not only been unceasing, but that more than twenty letters have passed between Mr. Cevallos and myself on the subject. I have now the pleasure to send you the result, by enclosing the copy of a letter which I have just received from Cadiz, and which I have received in such an unquestionable shape as to leave no doubt of its authenticity. By this it appears that my exertions have been effectual, and will probably prevent future captures on that ground.
[TRANSLATION.]
From the secretary of state and of the Marine to the Director-general of the fleet.
SIR, The minister of the United States, complaining of new injuries and captures of American vessels by Spanish cruisers, has given information of the carrying to Algesiras of eleven vessels of his nation, under pretext as he says, of their carrying English merchandise. The king being made acquainted with it, has been pleased to determine that, if there be no other cause for the capture of these vessels than that alledged by the minister, they should be put at liberty again; since, according to the 15th article of the treaty with the United States, the American flag secures the freedom of the merchandise, although they may be enemies property. But if the cause of detention be

any other, his majesty requires that they be decided in due course, and with as little delay as possible. I communicate this by the royal order, in order that you may communicate it to the generals of the departments of marine in every district, and to the owners of privateers, informing them that they will be responsible for the injuries they may occasion.
St. Alfonso, 3d Sept. 1805.
Consular office of the United States of America.
(L. S.)
GIBRALTAR.
On this 12th day of September, 1805, personally appeared in my consular office of the United States of America, John Allen, commander of the sloop Ranger, belonging to the government of the aforesaid United States, and John Thompson, master's mate on board said sloop Ranger, who, after being sworn on the holy evangelists, did declare jointly and severally, each speaking for himself, that they sailed in and with said vessel from Boston in America, on or about the 21st day of July last, on the service of said government, in company with the sloop Traveller, commanded by captain Benjamin Prince, with whom they parted company a few days after their leaving Boston, by stress of weather.
That on the 23d of August last, being in latitude 40 deg. 33 min. north, and longitude 50 deg. 33 min. west, a schooner came up with them mounting six guns with sixteen blunderbusses, and about eighteen men, who, although the American colors were flying on board the Ranger and the vessel hove to, fired three broadsides at her without showing any colors, ordering captain Allen to go on board them, which he did; they then came on board the sloop Ranger, broke open captain Allen's chest and trunk, taking from them twelve white shirts, a suit of uniform, six pair of silk and six do. cotton stockings, twelve handkerchiefs, two blue jackets, three white ditty waiscoats, two new hats, two pair new shoes and two pair of sankeen pantaloons, a spy glass, sixty three gallons brandy, butter, cheese, port, and other articles of ship stores, likewise, the doctor's box, the mate's and some of the men's cloaths and money; also, a letter for the governor of Malta, and several other papers.
That the commander and crew of the said schooner privateer behaved in a most insulting and abusive manner, and they seemed by their appearance, language, dress and manners to have been Spaniards; wherefore they make this declaration, and protest, not only for the robbery committed but also for the insult shown the flag under which they sailed.

ISLAND OF CUBA.
By this public instrument be it known unto all whom the same shall, or may concern, that on the day of the date hereof, before me, Henry Hill, jun. consul of the United States of America, for the island of Cuba, resident at Havana, personally came and appeared William Cory, of Charleston, (South Carolina) master of the brig Ann, and Caleb Cory, mate of said brig, who being by me severally duly sworn on the holy evangelists of Almighty God, did solemnly depose and declare, that being at the port of Cavañas, in this island, in the month of May last, whereat they were loading said vessel with a cargo for the U. States, they saw lying there an American schooner, called the Bayou, of
New Bedford, taken by a French privateer called the Eugene, commanded by captain Joseph Dumas, some time previous, and sent into that port, which said schooner had a cargo in, consisting of about 76 puncheons of rum, and seven or eight barrels of sugar.
That during their stay there, they frequently saw the people belonging to said privateer taking out the cargo of said captured schooner and carrying it on shore and selling it.
That the said privateersmen, to their knowledge, took out the whole of said vessel's cargo and carried it on shore, where it was sold—that it was so taken out and carried on shore, in open day without any appearance of opposition from the officers of the said port of Cavañas—that after the said privateersmen had plundered the whole of the cargo aforesaid, and taken it from the said vessel, and all her valuable rigging and sails, they took the said vessel off the mouth of the said harbor of Cavañas and sunk her.
And the deponent, William Cory, further saith, that the said privateersmen offered to sell him rum from the same cargo at thirty dollars a puncheon, which the deponent refused to buy even at that low price, well knowing they had no title to it, and that in them to dispose of it was robbery and piracy.
That he was informed by the guard which was on board his vessel, that said privateersmen, had bribed the principal officer of said port, by giving him four puncheons of rum to consent to the landing and sale of said cargo. And further the deponents say not.
(Signed)
Wm. CORY, CALEB CORY.

Island of Cuba.
By this public instrument be it known unto all whom the same shall, doth, or may concern, that I, Henry Hill, jun. consul of the United States of America for the island of Cuba, resident at Havana, do hereby certify that on the day of the date hereof, before me, personally came and appeared, Jacob R. Valk, late master, and George Allcock, late mate of and belonging to the schooner Sea Horse, of Charleston, who, on their solemn oaths, which they then took before me upon the holy evangelists of Almighty God, did severally, solemnly, depose and declare, that they, the deponents, on the ninth day of June, sailed and departed in and with the said schooner, laden with a cargo of flour and German linens from Charleston aforesaid, bound on a voyage to Spanish America; that the said schooner, at the commencement thereof, was tight, staunch, and strong, and in every respect well fitted, furnished, and found, manned and equipped for the due performance of the said voyage, with variable winds and weather, and without any particular occurrence until the thirtieth day of July, when they made the island of Blanca, on the fourteenth the Tartaga, and on the next day arrived off Laguire; that they lay off and on Laguire aforesaid, until the twentieth following. In the course of which time, he, Jacob R. Valk, made application for admittance to entry; and being informed that that port, as well as all others on that coast, were shut against neutrals, he proceeded agreeable to his orders and instructions to this port of Havana.—And the said several deponents did further depose, that in proceeding for the said port nothing material happened until the twenty-fourth following of said month of July, when being off the island of Jamaica, they were brought too by his Britannic majesty's armed schooner Superior, and upon being examined and found to be neutral were politely dismissed; that they prosecuted the said voyage, making the best of their way for this said port, and experienced nothing remarkable until the fourth day of August, instant, when doubling Cape San Antonio, in this island of Cuba, they were beset too by a schooner under French colours, and boarded by an officer and four men, who took possession of said schooner Sea Horse, and sent the deponent Jacob R. Valk, and two of his crew, on board the said privateer with the said schooner's papers—that the officer on board the said schooner Sea Horse, hailed the commander of said privateer, and
said that as he knew her to be a good prize, he would bring her to anchor; immediately upon which both vessels bore away for Punta Fuera, about four leagues from Cape San Antonio.
That the commander of said privateer, aided by several Spaniards, who came on board her in canoes from their habitations on that coast, began rummaging the Sea Horse, opening the hatches, and breaking open the packages and cases of dry goods, principally consisting of German linens, whilst the crew of the said privateer were continually passing and repassing from one of the said vessels to the other, and most of them in a state of intoxication.
And the said deponent Jacob R. Valk, did further depose, that being detained on board said privateer from the fourth to the sixth, he had ample opportunities of observing and examining her, and found her to be an American built vessel, having painted on her stern, Caroline, of Charleston, which was very visible, notwithstanding some black paint had been put on it to efface it but which was not done effectually; that she was mounted with one carriage gun and one swivel, and supplied with small arms, and manned with ten men and two negro boys, exclusive of the captain, who said his name was Paul, and the privateer the Volante. And the said deponent did further depose, that the said Paul told him, that he should be sent in an open boat to Havana, and upon his answering that he was determined to remain with his vessel wherever she went, the said Paul replied, that if he again opened his mouth he would set him ashore in the woods, and leave him to perish. And the said several deponents did further depose, that on the same evening they were all embarked in an open boat under the conduct of a Spanish fisherman, to go to a place about seventeen leagues distance, called Mantua, where they received their cloaths, which had been previously taken from them.
And the said Jacob R. Valk did further depose that the said captain of said privateer, after having robbed and plundered him of all his sea charts, his vessel, and his own private papers, and also his perspective glass or telescope, and twenty-one ounces in gold, returned him six of said ounces to defray his expences to this said port. And the said several deponents did severally further depose, that James Bichardson and Jacob Shoemaker, both citizens of the United States, and seamen belonging to said schooner Sea Horse, conducted themselves upon the capture aforesaid in a very mutinous manner, and remained with their own voluntary will with the said privateer.
And I, the said consul, do further certify, that the said Jacob R. Valk, did upon his arrival at Havana, aforesaid, in due time and form, note and enter with me, his protest, in all the premises aforesaid; and now requires of me to extend the same, and make this public act thereof, reserving to himself the privilege of making any other protest in the premises, as occasion may require.
Wherefore the said Jacob R. Valk doth, and I, the said consul at his request, do, by these presents, most publicly and solemnly protest as well against the governor at Laguire aforesaid, and all other public officers whom it may concern, for the refusal of admittance to entry as aforesaid, at that port as against the commander, officers, and crew of the said privateer, for the capture and detention, and robbery and plunder of the said schooner Sea Horse, and her cargo, and against all and every person and persons whom it shall or may concern, for all damages, costs, charges and expenses already suffered, or which shall or may be hereafter suffered, and sustained in the premises on account thereof, that the same be borne by those to whom of right it shall appertain, to be adjudged and recovered in time and place convenient.
Done and protested at Havana aforesaid,
(Signed)
JACOB R. VALK, GEORGE ALLCOCK.
In testimony whereof, the said deponents have hereunto subscribed their names, and I, the said consul, have hereunto set my hand and affixed my consular seal this twenty-first day of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and five, and of the independence of the United States, the thirtieth.

Charles-Town, December 29, 1805.
MARTINSBURG, December 27.
Owing to neglect (or some other cause unknown to us) of the post rider, we were under the necessity of sending an express to Charles-Town, for the mail that ought to have been brought to Martinsburg early yesterday morning.—The frequent failures on this route are a serious inconvenience to the Editor of this paper, and are felt by all in the habit of receiving letters, &c. by the post from Alexandria.—When our messenger returned he brought but few papers, and these few contained nothing of importance, except a confirmation of the death of Lord NELSON, and the glorious victory obtained by the ships under his command over the combined fleets of France and Spain, which we presented in a hand bill to our town and country subscribers on Wednesday last, and which we now re-publish in the Intelligencer, that all our readers may have an opportunity of seeing it.
The following important resolutions have been laid before the Virginia Legislature:
At this important crisis in the affairs of their country, the Legislature of Virginia feel it to be a duty they owe to their constituents, from among whom they have so lately emanated, and whose wishes and opinions they therefore distinctly understand to express the following sentiments:
They have seen with admiration and pleasure in the intercourse of the present administration of the government of the U. States with foreign nations, that just, rational, and liberal policy which should ever characterize the acts of a government resting on the will, and maintaining the rights and interests of a free and enlightened people.—With real mortification have they discovered, that from all nations the same correct and dignified conduct may be looked for in vain. They have observed with indignation the injuries which power and ambition, making the most erroneous calculations of the strength and policy of the United States have inflicted on the fair commerce and immutable rights of our fellow-citizens: With astonishment they have seen the most rational principles in the laws of nations, disregarded and contravened by governments pretending to act on that liberal and enlarged justice which it behoves every enlightened nation to pursue: They have beheld with corroding sensations, Spain evading the most equitable contracts on frivolous pretences, and declining too to enter into a fair adjustment of our differences: They have learned with still more unpleasant feelings that inroads have been made by the regular officers and soldiers of that government into parts of Orleans & the Mississippi which had been delivered up to us, and that our citizens have been scoured and our property plundered—
Resolved, therefore, that the legislature of Virginia, have the highest confidence in the wisdom, virtue and firmness of the President of the U. States and his administration, and that they are ready, whenever they shall direct, to join in a contest with any nation that has injured, and "try which party can do the other the most harm."
A motion was made that the house come to the following resolution:
Whereas this house deem it proper to express the approbation it feels of the conduct of such of the citizens of this commonwealth as singularize themselves in the service of their country; and that honorary rewards bestowed for gallant exploits are not only congenial to the spirit of a republican government, but also offer an useful encouragement to the enterprising character of America.
Resolved therefore, That this house for the above reasons, and in order to express the high sense it entertains of the valor and intrepidity of Lieutenant Presley N. O'Bannon, a citizen of this commonwealth, in executing the orders of his gallant commander, in the attack and capture of Derne, in conjunction with his brave countrymen, and as an honorary reward for his services in the expedition against Tripoli, that the executive of this commonwealth be requested and they are hereby requested to have made a sword of the manufacture of Virginia, and a gold medal, one side of which shall be engraved with a description of the achievements in erecting the American standard on the walls of Derne, and the other side with a figure of the Goddess of Liberty, holding in one hand a sword and pointing with the other towards the battle, with the following motto on the same side;
'Let my votaries be assured of my protection.'
And that the executive be requested to

the earliest opportunity which may offer, after the said award and medal are prepared, of presenting them to lieutenant O'Bannon.
On motion made, Ordered, That the said resolution do lie on the table.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Washington-City, to the Editor of the Intelligencer, dated the 22nd instant.
"We almost believe here that Ulm has surrendered with 40,000 Austrians; but Russia is pouring down in myriads from the North; some accounts state her army at 350,000—Saxony is sending 20,000—Hesse 20,000—Prussia 80,000—and it is believed that every European power is now in action against Buonaparte—We hope they will check his career."
"We expect a Council of State, which met on Wednesday last, is about to send General RATON to our Southern borders to spread terror among the Dons; but depend upon it the United States stand in the most perilous situation they ever did; We now know that the Spanish are waiting for Buonaparte against the success of the Northern powers of Europe and of Great Britain is ours."

BETHLEHEM, November 5, 1805. GREAT NAVAL VICTORY!!! The Pickle arrived here this morning. Captain Sykes, of the Nautilus, went off express for London.
On the 21st October, the fleet under Lord Nelson, consisting of 27 sail of the line, engaged the combined fleets off Cadiz, consisting of 33 sail of the line— Line of Battle Ships of the Enemy, and four Flag taken, one Sunk, and one Blown Up. Villeneuve is on board the Royal Sovereign; Gravina, with nine sail got back to Cadiz.
A gale of wind came on soon after the action light on shore, and 'tis said, that two sail, which had struck, got back to Cadiz. The large four decker, Santa Trinidad, was in tow but sunk. The Royal Sovereign, Victory, Revenge, Bellona, Temeraire, Bellerophon, and Mars, suffered most; Temeraire engaged two ships, and took them, as did the Neptune two three deckers, which struck to her. The Royal Sovereign, 'tis said, had 400 men killed. Great as the victory has been, the country has to lament the loss of LORD NELSON , who was killed by a musket ball in the breast, from the top of a three-decker, (Santissimo Trinidad) in the middle of the action.
Extract of a letter to Lord Roke, dated Plymouth, Nov. 5, 1805.
Tuesday Morning, 9 o'clock. My Lord,
The Pickle arrived here this morning; Captain Sykes, of the Nautilus, went off express to London.
On the 21st October the fleet under the command of Lord Nelson, consisting of 27 sail, engaged the Combined Fleet off Cadiz consisting of 33 sail. Nineteen line of battle ships of the enemy, including four Admiral's Flag, were taken, and six sail sunk, blown up and burnt. Admiral Villeneuve is on board the Royal Sovereign; Gravina, with nine sail got back to Cadiz. A gale of wind came on after the action, right on shore, and it is said, two sail, which had struck, had got back to Cadiz; that the large four deck ship Santissimo Trinidad was in tow, but sunk. Lord Nelson was killed in the action.
Before he died he made the signal, that England expected every man to his duty. This I understand he was enabled to do by having brought his telegraphic signals to such perfection. We have also to lament the loss of capt. Duff and Cook, and Lord Nelson's Secretary, killed; Capt. Tyrer wounded, but not dangerously. No other particulars of the loss have reached us. On the 24th the Pickle and Dolphin were at anchor off Cadiz, in charge of the captured ships, six sail are said to be sunk—I write in great haste.
P. S. 'Tis said by some of the crew of the Pickle that they saw 14 sail in tow. The Nautilus, 'tis said, is also arrived with dispatches.
The Royal Sovereign, Victory, Revenge, Bellona, Temeraire, Bellerophon, and Mars, suffered most; the Temeraire engaged two ships and took them—so did the Neptune two three-deckers, which struck to her. The Royal Sovereign, it is said had 400 men killed. Great as the victory has been, the Country has to lament the loss of LORD NELSON , who was killed by a musket ball from the top of the Santissimo Trinidad, with whom the Victory was engaged and actually joined together. His Lordship
was, at the moment he received the wound, expressing his delight at the conduct of the Second in Command, Admiral Collingwood. The last signal that he made was, that England expected every man to his duty.—This was done by Telegraph, the use of which he brought to great perfection. Capt. Duff, of the Mars, and capt. Cook of the Bellerophon, killed, and captain Tyrer, of the Latona, wounded.
The official bulletin of the French announce the capture of Ulm, with the Austrian general Mack. After this event, on the night of the 16th Oct. there was a terrible hurricane; the Danube completely overflowed, and carried away almost all the bridges, which straitens the French in their supplies of provisions.
The Austrian army (says the French bulletin) may be considered as annihilated. The Austrians and Russians will be obliged to make levies of recruits to resist the French armies, which had destroyed an army of one hundred thousand men, without experiencing, we may say, any loss. The French loss was five hundred killed and 1 thousand wounded. The first campaign is finished, and Buonaparte finds in his possession upwards of 60,000 prisoners. He has expelled the troops of the house of Austria from Bavaria, and re-established his Ally in the sovereignty of his states.
An article under the date of London, Nov. 4, says—"A report was circulated at Paris, on Monday last, that the Emperor of Austria had applied for a cessation of hostilities, and that Buonaparte had answered, that he would consent to a cessation, on condition of the Emperor of Germany sending back the Russians, renouncing his alliance with England, and placing Venice and the Tyrolese in the hands of the Emperor of the French."
It was reported in London, that the Archduke Charles had totally defeated the French troops in Italy.
Vienne, Oct. 17.—The most intimate, and (as it is here asserted) the most satisfactory negotiations have taken place between our Court and that of Prussia.
Prussia has joined the coalition against France, and a junction has been formed between the Russians and Prussians. The latter power is marching her armies to Franconia, to the banks of the Rhine, and to the borders of the Bavarian Republic. Three armies, amounting in the whole to 150,000 men, are actually on their march for the different points.
General Kienmayer, with 25,000 men, had effected a junction of 45,000 Russians, near Bransau.
A more brilliant and decisive campaign (says the London editors) is not to be found in the annals of ancient or modern warfare.—We tremble for the final results, and we must in the mean time, fashion our minds to bear of new success on the part of the enemy."
NEW-YORK, December 17.
The following interesting intelligence we have received from a respectable gentleman, who arrived here on Saturday evening, in 41 days from Bordeaux. The day before this gentleman sailed, private letters from Paris were received at Bordeaux, announcing, that (a few days subsequent to the capitulation of Ulm, and the capture of Gen. Mack and his troops) the Russian army, having proceeded by forced marches, came up with the column under the command of Prince Murat and Marshall Bernadotte—that a severe action ensued—that Murat and Bernadotte were both killed; 23 General Officers either killed, severely wounded, or taken prisoners; and the whole of the French troops defeated with immense slaughter.—Such was the information received at Bordeaux, and believed, by the best informed gentlemen of that place.
The information produced an immediate and considerable effect on the funds at Bordeaux.
Captain Stanton, in the fast-sailing ship Neptune, arrived last evening in 32 days from Liverpool, and is the bearer of the MOST IMPORTANT NEWS , which the Editors of the New-York Gazette now give, in detail, from London papers to the 8th ultimo.
Of Marshal Bernadotte nothing further is known than that on the 18th of October he occupied a position between Munich and the Inn, the Austrians there being on their own side of that river. Buonaparte, with the whole of the army, would join him about the 25th or 26th when the farther operations against the Austrians and Russians would be commenced.
The army of Italy, under Massena, passed the Adige on the 18th of October,
after an action in which the Austrians had 1400 killed and as many taken prisoners. The report of Massena's defeat by the Archduke Charles was received in London by way of Cadiz, and rested on no official authority.
Star Office, Nov. 7.—2d edition.
Capt. Langford arrived at the Admiralty this afternoon, accompanied by a Prussian officer bringing with him the most important dispatches from the Elbe.
These dispatches bring a treaty of ALLIANCE between this country and His Prussian Majesty, whose army of EIGHTY THOUSAND MEN was actually on its march against the common enemy, when the dispatches were sent off.
The Emperor of Russia had been at Berlin to hold a conference with the King of Prussia.
The same Emperor is hurrying to the scene of action at the head of SIXTY THOUSAND MEN, and his Imperial brother of Germany is also marching at the head of ANOTHER army.
The remains of Lord Nelson are to be brought to England for interment.
It is just reported, that the Arch Duke Charles has gained a victory over the French army under Massena in Italy.
LAND FOR SALE.
I AM disposed to sell a valuable Tract of LAND, containing about 300 acres, situate within two miles of the town of Martinsburg, immediately on the main road leading from thence to Winchester. This Land is of the rich lime stone quality, about half the tract is cleared, and in a good state for cultivation, the other moiety heavily clothed with valuable timber. There is a fine flowing spring, unusually large, rises within a few poles of the dwelling house, which is of the first quality of lime stone water, and never fails. On this property are erected a large stone mansion house, a barn, and other out buildings of a useful description. It would be needless for me to attempt enumerating the many advantages which must result to a purchaser of this place—as directly on the most public road in the county and so contiguous to the town of Martinsburg—on a view of the premises and situation, these things must present themselves to the mind more forcibly than any thing I could say. One third part of the purchase money will be required in hand, the remaining payment, will be made easy to the purchaser. Any person inclined to treat on this subject, may find the subscriber in Martinsburg.
