lutians on tilt• impoiicy of the war. There have been also
serious disturbances in dificrent parts of the United States,
and particularly at Baltimore. The Federal Rtpublicai,, a
journal of some celebrity, published there, hcving rendered
itself obnoxious by its opposition to the popular measures,
the mob of Baltimore made an attack on the house of the
editor, at midnight on the 27th July, which was resisted
low the inside with Eire arms. In the morning the house
was evacuated, and its defenders consented to go into the
town jail for security, under the guarantee of General Striker
and time Mayor. In the afternoon, on the suggestion of a
pubic journal, the mob re-assembled, attacked the jail, and
fell upon the prisoners with clubs and' knives. Some of
tln'm rush,d out and escaped-; the others were wounded,
and lef for dead outside the prison. General Lingan,A man
70 yea's old, was killed on the spot. General Lee, the cele-
brated partizan in the American war, was stabbed, and not
expected to survive. The civil authority was called out
during this outrage, but it had either not the power or the
will to move; the armed force disappeared, and the mob
were left to execute the full measure of their vengeance.
The particulars will be found in our preceding columns.
The tone of the most furious of the war partizans in Ame-
rica has been lowered, by the disappointment of their first
expectations. Tney had prepared the public mind for a
great blow against our Jamaica, Quebec, and Leeward
island fleets, and the 'tambours of America were to be full
of the fruits of Commodore RODGER'S cruise. But the ba-
lance of captures has been considerably against him, and of
Commodore HooGEas and his squadmon no certain intelli-
gence had been received. But, from the exultation ex-
pressed at the safe return of one of the American frigates, the
Constitution, we may infer that they would be glad to see
the same good luck attend the remainder. It is quite as
however, that RODGERS will *e carried into Halifax,
as that he will effect his retreat to New York. He was very
near our flitadr ; and, indeed, one account states, that they
were in sight of each other about the 10th of ,August.

DR. JENNEI?'S EXPLANATION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NATIONAL REGISTER.
Sta,—All the points in VtaAx's letter have been so
triumphantly refuted in your own remarks, that I shall not
attempt to add any thing to what you have said. I shall only
supply you with a copy of Dr. JENNER.S own answer pub,
licly given to the charge against him; by which it appears
that he vaccinated his son himself, at a time when the prac-
tice of Vaccination had scarcely begun to be noticed, and
therefore when but few experiments of its efficacy could
bare been made, and that on• its Ailing tel take properlu, he
had the child afterwards inoculated, when it had been
exposed to variolous infection, at a place where he did not
vaccinate any one, and where the practice being yet in its
infancy, no one else could supply him with vaccine lymph.
With all these facts VERAX must l ave been acquainted,
since he owned he had read Dr. JEN EICS answer, and his
misrepresenting it must therefore have proceeded from in-
tention, not error. -Yours, &c. VERITAS.
In November 1810, Dr. Jenner was applied to, to know
if he had inoculated any of his own family with the small-
pox matter ; to which he returned the following answer in
the Gentleman's Magazine for December 1310.
" My two eldest children were inoculated with the small- •
pox before I began to inoculate for the cow-pox. My
youngest son was' born soon after my experiments com-
menced, and at ten months old was vaccinated will several
others; but the appearance, excited by its insertion, pro-
duced an effect that lasted two or three days only, and then
died away. By referring to my first work on cow-pox you
will see his case mentioned.
" In a short time after, I was under the necessity of.
moving, with my family, for a few months to Cheltenham,
where, for various reasons, 1 found it inconvenient to re-
sume my operations. I had -not been long bete before this
child was exposed to the small-pox, and in such a way

MOST HORRID MURDER.

PLYMOUTrr Docx, JULY 7.—This morning, betty yen eight and nine
o'clock, Mr. John Mine, flour merchant, of Old Town, Plymouth,
murdered his wife, two children, and himself !! ! The report is, :)P
came down stairs without his neck-handkerchief, and baying ordercil
the servant to go out with a letter and a parcel, then pmeeeded to hk
wife, from whom he took the child, killed it, and th- n with a pistol
shot her ; after which he cut the throats of both children. inn) put an
end to his own existence by another pistol; the alarm of which smut
brought the neighbours. who found the family in this dreadful situa-
tion. Mrs. H. was not dead ; and on a skilful surgeon searching for
the ball, it was afterwards extracted frou between her shoulders. Slw
lies in a very hopeless scot', and is not expected to live many hours.
No cause has been assigned for the committal of this most tragical act.
The character and general conduct of the deceased were most exem-
plary, and enjoyed the must perfect domestic happiuess with his nuly
amiable wife and children, to whom he was at till times mot remark-
ably kind and attentive. On Saturday and yesterday he complaimui
of a pain in his head, but never had strewn the least symptoms what-
ever of insanity. Ile wrote a most affectionate letter yesterday to his
mother, stating his determ:nation of committing the act ; which letter,
he sent t y his servant this morning, just before he committed the fatal

act.
A Coronet's inquest was held on Tuesday before Mr. G. Eastb ',

LORD CASILEREAGH'S BILL.

The Report of the Secret Committee has been submitted
to Parliament. An official copy of it will be found in
tuother pait of our paper, and will show, that the distur-
bailees, though alarming, are less so than had been appre-
hended. On Friday, Lot d CASTLEREAGH moved for leave
to bring in a Bill founded on the Report. The measure
proposed' is to be limited, not only as to time, but with
respect :to space also ;—it is not to continue in force longer
than to give Parliament an opportunity of assembling to act
as circumstances may require, and it is not to extend beyond
the disturbed districts. The Magistra!es of those districts are
to have the poWer of searching for stolen or secreted arms,
without having first a deposition made in respect to their
concealment, as at present required by law. They are to
have the power of calling on the inhabitants to yield up
their arms, receipts being at the satete time given, for the safe
custodyof the same ; and that of immediately dispersing any
tumultuary body. Those who do not instantly disperse,
when required, are to be liable to punishment for a mis-
demeanour, and the Magistrates are to have not only the
power of dispersion, but also that of arrest, and to bold the
offenders to bail, in order that they rum, be brought to trial
at the Quarter Sessions. Finally, the Magistrates of the
disturbed counties are to have jurisdiction over the adjacent
districts, in order that offenders may not defeat the ends of
justice by passing over the .borders of the county in which
their off:nces have been committed. The measure met with
general approbation, and Ministers are certainly entitled to
credit for not overstepping the necessity of the case, though
we tear it may reasonably be doubted, whether an enactment
so lenient will be found sufficiently strong to avert the
danger.

HAYM ARK E f EATR E.

A new Farce was on Wednezday produced at this Theatre
under the title of " The Child of Chance."
This piece, it has been rumoured, is from the pen of Mr.
C. K EMBL E. For the credit of that Gentleman we sincerely
hope the report is unfounded in truth; for of all the trash
that modern Authors have had the weakness to furnish,, and
of all the rubbish that modern Managers have had the im-
pudence to thrust on the town, in the teeth of damnation, we
could almost say (it would certainly be a bold Lion) this
truly contemptible performance deserves to take precedence.
The Author, whoever he is (we will not believe it can be
Mr. C. KEMBLE), though he has taken care to satisfy us that
he is not above purloining the wit of others, hag, like Sir
Fretful, displayed so little taste, that what he has stolen is ra-
ther injurious to the piece than otherwise, and serves but to
disfigure where he expected it would embellish. A man is
in some measure to be pitied who, having a disposition to
enrich himself at the expence of another, has so little sense
L to Acid thst_which the party he rocs would be most happy

JULY 'o

to throw away. Most of the attempts at F.,tn,ct;!
ate so miset ably abortive, that they can only excite a siao,t,
of disdain ; and where, par hazard, the Author has stumbled
on a real witticism, he has retailed it in such a way that its
point is lost, and the wondering scribe sutveys the grave
faces of the audience with perfect amazement, confident as
he is that it a good thing when he heard it.
The business of Darcy is allowed to be extravagant. The
Author of this piece, therefore, thought, that to m:Lke a better
Farce than had ever been produced, it was only neceisary to
nmke one more extragavant. In this he has succeeded
(doubtless to his own admiration), for, with the exception of
Mr. Tit OTTER.S 1171tise history, a Ming more ridiculously ex-
travagant we never saw. In every part it was ex t ravagant—
but, unhappily, its extravagance was not that which enter.
tains and excites laughter. The piece was comFletety damned
the firA ; and the Managers, with their usual respect
for truth arid for the public, stated it to have been reeivtd
with grcA applause, and have piiloried the unfortunate actors
in it for a or two, but, Nee are happy to say, the., base
at length hecn obliged to withdraw it, having lost the opFor
titnity of giving it up in a manner that might have g4ined
them something of approbation.

Iqing the important, though not unexpected, intelligence of
the Declaration of War by France against, Russia. In a
Sitting of the Conservative Senate on the ;;d instant, a report

Continental System, to which she had plc 4ed heit;elf by the
treaty of Tilsit, and also of committing se oral other acts
Contrary to the alliance between the two rations. Treaties
of alliance, it is stated, had been made with the Emperor of
Austiia and the King of Prussia ; in which the former binds

DECLARATION OF HOST! LITI ES BY AMERICA AGAINST
ItEAr lIRITA IN.

Thursday morning, a mail arrived from New York.—The
intelligence which it brings comes down to the 13th of last
month, and is of considerable importance. A Declaration
of War against this Country had been agreed to in the House
of Representatives by a majority of 79 to Oct. Tins declara-
tion was sent to the Senate, and referred to a Committee of
seven by the small majority of 17 to 15. Our Declaration
of the 29. d of April had been received before the President's
Message was sent to Congress, and Mr. RotTh, the King's
Messenger, had reached Washington with dispatches for Mr.
Fetter, which bad given rise to some farther correspondence
with Mr. Monroe ; and the Senate had adjourned to wait
for the result of this correspondence. The language.of the
official paper is decisively warlike; but strong petitions are
preparing in many cities against war. The death of Mr.
PERC EV At, was not known in America at the time the packet
left New York. The news of this event would reach the
shores of the trans-atlantic continent shortly after her de-
parture ; and should this a while stay the cry for wir, the
tidings of the Orders in Council being revoked might allay
it altogether.

ACCIDENTS AND OFF ENCES%

On Wednesday !mt. a rerpeetable tradesman, who keeps a paper-
hanging shop in the vicinity of the New-road, attempied to commit
son ide. He borrowed ayistol and tired it into his breast, but the hall
grazed the bone .withont inflicting a dangerous wound. He was taken
to the hospital, and his wound beirg dressed, repaired. accompanied by
twomen, to the Harp, in the Strand, being unwillingf to 'Num to his
house, where he had left a wife and two children. Un 6:ing inter-
rogrted respecting the eati,e of his rash act, he said, that he had made
a fatal contract with the Alton, to be settled the day he shot himself.
A singular accident took lilace on the Uxbridge roa.i on Thursday :
As a gentleman was return:ng to town from Southall, where he Ilan
been visiting a friend, while crossing the bridge over the Paddington
Canal, his horse tcok flight at a man jumping out of g stage waggf n
and plunged over the will into the water ; but by the timely assist-
ance of slum bargemen on the spot, the gentleman was taken out with-
out any serious injury. The horse was drowned.
Tuesday se'nnight, a child about two years old, son °fa labourer of
the name of Sutton, residing in Wircheap-street, Canterbury, in the
absence of its parents, drank some boiling water out of a pot on the
tire, by which the poor infant was so dreadfully scalded, that it cited in
great agony in the evening.
4 destructive tire broke out on the premises of Major Webber, Oak
Common, Middlesex, on Saturday night week, which consumed the
dwelling-house, stable, and out-houses, surroundlbg a farm-yard. It
was occasioned by a boy imprudently taking a candle into the hay-loft
without a lanthorn, when racking up his horses. Tile damage is com-
puted at 50001.—Two horses were unfortunately latirnt.
Wednes:!ay morning• a little before one o'clock, a Ito!, lying off the
Custom House Quay, was boarded by a gang of robbers, seized
the Custom House fficers, bound their hands and feet, presented a
blunderbuss to them, and threatened instant death it' they made any
noise or resistance ; moved the hay off to a floating rade, and robbed
the vessel of silk, from Italy, to the amount of frOOOI. and La i made off
cleat with it by halt-past one o'clock. The Officers were released by

CAPTURE OF SALAMANCA.

.

Dispatches were on Thursday received from the Earl of
WELLINGTON and Mr. STUART, and were published in last
night's Gazette, containing accounts of the allied army having
advanced into Spain, and taken possession of Salamanca.
The enemy had previously evacuated the place, leaving about
800 men in some forts constructed upon the ruins of col-
leges and convents. Sour.T and DitocET, after collecting
their utmost force at Seville and Cordova, had moved for-
ward to Llerena and Santa 011 a, in consequence of which
Sir It. HILL called in all his detached troops, and aqernbled
the whole of his army at Albuera, where he had been joined
by four Portuguese iegiments from Badajoz, and some Spa-
nish troops. It is probable, therefore, that we shall souk'
hear of an action betwcvn the French arms', commanded by
SOUL T, ana the Allies, commanded by General HILL. The
Vrench under So uLT arc estimated 2t 18,000 infantry, 3600
cavalry, and 30 pieces of artillery. The force under General
HILL is stat.'d at 18,000 Bri:ish and Portuguese.

A mail from Anholt arrived yesterday ; but it has not
brought any account of the commencement of hostilities.
We shall probably receive the first intelligence of such au
event from the French papers.
It is with great willingness we recall those suspicions we
have more than once, though not lately, exprc•sed relative
to the conduct of BERNADOTTE. We now believe that
there i 3 one French General at least who is not BU ON A-
PAwr Cs tool. All the otThrs that could he supposed likely
to iIIiILICIICC BERNADOTTE. to take part with him have been
made—accession of territory, pecuniary recompence,
Zinc. But they have all been peremptorily refused. MR-,
NADoTTE has expressed himstlf decidedly in favour of this
country ; he knows that the real intereAs of Sweden dictate
the most I...endly intercoure with us ; and he has resolved
to give a public proof of his sentiments, by paying a visit of
respect to the British Admiral in the Baltic. He has noti-
fied, tlr'tt Letween the 12th and 15th of this mouth, he shall
proceed to GtatenburiTh fur that purpose. •

EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE.

An Extraordinary Gazette was published on Tuesday
night, containing the official accounts of the repulse of the _
French under Vicron, in their attempt to take 'Tariff; by,
assault. For the details we must refer our readers to the
documents themselves. We cannot, however, forego the.
pleasure of quoting the words of Cnl,inel Slc.v.itarrT, in de.
scribing the scene at the moment of attack, our mus-
ketry several timeschecked the enemy ; and the firm front,
and intrepid behaviour of the troops in less than an hour
gained a complete victory : the mc.st bold of the enemy
fell near the foot of the breach, and the mass of the cu,
lumn made a precipitate re'reat."

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

•
Gawler, the Navy-Office Clerk, was taken on the 9. 8t h ult. at New
castle. He had left London for that place in a collier, the Captain or
which, suspecting him, gave information to the Mayor, who directed .
him to be secured.
Thomas Pryor, a lame man, has been apprehended on suspicion of
having been concerned in the late murder of the WillLamsons. The
prisoner is known to have lodged at Williamson's on the Wednesday •
night before the murder was col-witted, and for. ten nights before. He
was seen -passinrov.er London Bridge•at art early hour in the morning
afterwards. He is detained on suspicion of a robbery, as well as of be-
ing concerned in the tuurderi.
CORowea's Imours7.—Wednesday7eiening an inqUest was held at
the Golden Anchor public-house, Ltadenhall-street, before Thomas
Shelton, E 9. Coroner, upon the tbotli of Mrs. May, the wife of an
ironmonger in Oxford-street, who was run over by a. waggon on Tues-
day afternoon, and killed on the ,FPot:. The circumstances of this me-
langholy event were briefly as follow May had stopped in his
gig at the door of the house lately occupied by the celebrated Dirty
Dick, the ironmonger, to speak about some business with the present
occupant. He left Mrs. May in the vehicle, holding the reins, until

RIVER PLATE.

By a vessel arrived at Belfast, from Buenos Ayres, let-
ters have been received from the River Plate, dated the sth
of November, and stating., that the differences between
the Governments of Monte Video and Buenos Ayres had
been settled, by whi, h accommodation, each was to retain
their respective territories, and the commercial intercourse
between both was to be replaced as before their differences.
The treaty concluded on the occasion provides, that both
parties shall acknowledge FERDINAND the Vllth—that
both are to supply pecuniary aid to the Mother Country—
that all proceedings are to be confirmed by a General
Congress—that the Buenos Ayres troops are to evacuate
the eastern part of the River Plate—that the limits of
either party are not to be infringed without due notice—
and that no persons are to be molested for political opi-
nions.

UNITED STATES.

Some private accounts, received on Wednesday from
Virginia, state that the destruction of two French priva-
teers some time since in an American port, had produced
a sharp remonstrance on the part of the French Minister.
He demanded not only reparation of the damage sustain.
.ed, hut the exemplary punishment of the individuals con.•
cerned in the transaction. This occurrence happened at a
Most unseasonable moment for the views of the American
.Executive ; but in the humble spirit which has pervaded
.all its conduct towards France, it can feel no hesitation to
Make an abject and therefore a satisfactory atonement. So.
far as indemnity or reparation of loss goes, no difficulty
;can be anticipated ; but should it be propo.ed to extend
;the satisfaction to the punishment of the parties concern.
'eel, it remains to be ascertained how far the intemperate•
and hot-headed Virginians will. submit to such a visitation.

CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, JAN. 31.

We had some arrivals, both of Wheat and Flour, from the North,
on Wednesday last, but owing to contrary winds, little or none this
morning. 'The Mealing Trade acquired rather more briskness than on
Monday, but not to warrant our making any alteration in the prices ; it
should nevertheless be observed that a few select samples of curious
old Dantzic reached 61. per quarter. Barley has risen is. and 2s. per
quarter ; the supply a short one. The two sorts of Beans were like-
wise esteemed rather dearer, and Oats, owing to but few arrivals
were also full 9s. per quarter higher.

FRENCH PAPERS.

French Papers have been received. Though they in-
clude Papers to the 22d ult. they do not contain a single
article respecting the operations in the Peniris-ula. If Su-
CIIET had really obtained any very signal success upon the
26th of December, near Valencia, it is scarcely credible to
suppose that it could be unknown at Paris on the 2'2d ult.
being exactly four weeks, less one dap after the success
is stated to have been accomplished. 'I he most protracted
route of a courier, from Valencia to Paris, could scarcer►
exceed ten days. The following is the only article•deserv•
lug of any notice :

" There is a report her? that the Russian corps under General
_MAR-
ION, was unexpectedly attacked, and. compelled to give way to toe
sukcrior number, and impetuosity of the Turks.

SPAIN.

A vessel which has arrived at Plymouth from Alicant,
and brought letters from that city to the Ist oh. has also
brought intelligence, that, at that date, accounts had
reached Alicant of the fall of Valencia. So much inter-
est is now attached to the fate of that city, and so great
anxiety is felt upon the subject, that until the result shall
be certainly known, we shall be deluged with rumours
from every prt of Spain from which a vessel can arrive.
The following is an extract of a private letter from
Alicant, dated Dec. 31
am sorry to actriaint you, that SUCHET, having received a rein—
forcement of 8,000 men, attacked the Spanish line before Valencia, on
the morning of the 26th, forced it, and carried every thing before him.
" General BLax c, with a very few troops, remained within the town.
MA 111, with about 5,000 men, reached Alcira. The rest is unac-
counted for, and dispersed or killed. All the artillery, baggage, &c. of
the Spaniards fell into the hands of the enemy.
" P. S. It is the general belief, that General BLAKE and all those with.
in the town have surrendered. _ _

g‘ The population of Valencia amounted to 150,000 souls, including
all'those who fled there for refuge. Suc HET has formed a cordon round
the town, and taken possession of all the surrounding villages and roads,
so that, at present, there is no communication whatever with that ca-
pital, nor is it known positively, up to this date, what is doing there.
The following passage in a bulletin issued from the Ad-
miralty on Thursday, would lead us to suppose that things
were not in so bad a state at and before Valencia as the
above letter represents.
" The Magnificent is arrived at Plymouth. The Captain was at Va-
lencia on the 25th Dec. when all was sate and quiet, and there appeared
not the least reason to apprehend those disastrous events which are re-
ported to have taken place next day.".

CITY.

On Thursslay,a .Court of COmmori Council was held at Guildhall,
when Mr. Alderman Wood broughl'up the Report of the Militia Com-
mittee, recommending the disbanding of the two regiments of City
Militia, and in their room the substitution of a species of force similar
to the Local Militia, to be trailied fourteen or twenty-eight days in the
year.—The Report was strenuously opposed, and a long debate ensued,
at the termination of which a division took place on the following
Amendment moved by Mr. Jacks—“ That in a war oflhe magnitude
and vital importance in which the Briti,la Empire is engaged, it Will be
highly iniproper for the city of I;Ondon to disband :its portion pi the
defence of the kingdom, or to reduce their. aorvites ,to*.the peace` esta-
n blishment.":—On the umbeis ben-iv-taken, there appeared for the
metl:iient, 85; for agreeing with the kepOrt; td; tnajOrity for On!

in the Ampurdank for the purpose of passing the" convoy
to Barceloii, and that General LACY, having disposed his
troops to frusti ate their intention, and penetrating farther
into their views, formed with a rapid and well-directed
movement in the Garriga and St. Felieu, the only passes
which lead to Vich, where the enemy intended to go. . On
the sth ult. the enemy, (although their force consisted in
four thousand infantry, four hundred cavalry, and four
piece; of artillery, were obliged to desist from their pur-
pose. The Spaniards received the attack with firmness
and serenity, drove them back twice, and at last obliged
them to retire, with great loss, towards Gerona and Fi-
gueras ; Brigadier SARSFIELD followed them to the neigh-
bourhood of Hosterlick, and made them sensible of his
bayonets.

LINGTON, no doubt, with a view to favour-his own desiga
on Rodrigo, by distracting the enemy's attention, and oblig.
ing MARMONT to detach largely from his force for the
protection of the south. That it must have that effect is
obvious to a great extent, but that is not the only advantage
derived from this well-timed and masterly movement.
The magazines and stores of provisions taken must prove
a seasonable supply to the Allies, and a serious loss to the
enemy. At Merida General HILL found 160,000 pounds
weight of wheat, and at Almandrolejo 450,000 lbs.
amounting in the whole to about two hundred and twenty
quarters, a sufficient quantity to supply 10,000 men with
bread for nearly three months.

POLITICAL DIS2ULSITION.

Sr.ITE OF EUROPE AT OPENING OF THE NEW
PAHLIAMENF.

The bustle of the general elect iron is over. The flood of
ray spitit.and eloquence which latciy deluged the land, is
repre;sed within fixed boundaries, and corfined to st.
rci)hen's Chapel. The natn,n has done he:- part, and her.
ripresentativcs, invested with full powers, have now to per-
furiu their duty, at a more iinp,,rtmt era than any yet te-
corded in tl,e history of nr,n.

11 hen the la.t sea-;on. cl.-,sed, and the natural decay of
Padiairent was.antic,H:ted by an act of the Soye eign will,
Lich decreed its tk.-;(mlutr-n, the riteasule excitc:d no
and encountered little hlatue. he o!d and regular
Oppositi,n were generally nt. I).rt!iots expres-ed
their satisfaction bein,t able to reinqui,li their public
duti:!-, in addre,,sts to their constituents, ever who.,e interest,
they refused any.longer to watch. The. Ministers, conscious
(4 Alen- cncrea,ed popularity, saw with satisfaction an °mini:-
tunny of augmenting their numbers arrive; hut whilst the
choice of the nation realied their bope, a fourth party,
maimed :crf deserters from the banners of Covernment,
ta;:ied its voice aloud, and, regardless of all former pro-
f ~ions and conduct, as of all fixed principle, vented throuAli
the organ of the press, the anguish of its disappointed
ambition in empty threats and groundless ,prophecies.—
MMisters had seized the present hour, they exclaimed,
to appeal to the people, because they knew that
afew months later, such a tide of external and internal ruin
would bUrst upon the nation, as would rouse her from her
slumber, and
.instead of supporting a set of " doves in war
and tygers in religion", would make her drag in vengeance
her unworthy administrators to the scaffold. The few
months are past, the representatives arc sworn, and on
Monday the business of the Session will commence : but
unfortunately for the prophets of ruin, the political at-
mosphere instead of lowering with tempestuous cloud;,
-'ems clearer than usual. At the 'hne the dissolution of
Padiament took place, though the rays of .BritiAi glory
'il aunted the west, the Last was wrapped in the dat ket.
gloom of discomfiture and woe. The laurels of victv;ry,
but lately planted in the plains of Salamanca, waved fie.h.
crer our advancing' legions: but having passed over the
ashes of consumed towns, th.e. wangled corpses of thousands
of human victims, and basked in the deep glare of a blazing
capital, our enemy, posted in the heart of the Russian
empire, threatened nothing less than its total destruction.
Scared by his conquests, thinned by the sword, and divided
by his manseuvres, the Russian. armies remained awhile,.
(untied, inactive, or powerless. Europe thought the
l'ghty contest terminated, the throne of the Czars laid
