To the PROPRIETORS of EAST INDIA STOCK..
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
TT is with the greatefl concern that I feel myfelf at
prefent under the necenity of withdrawing from the contcft
to fill the vacancy in the Dire!lion of the had India Company ,
when the favourable reception which I had met with on my can-
vars, and the kind exertions of my friends bad given me the molt
nattering hopes of fueccfs. My perfooal difappointment I than
endeavour to bear with fortitude; but I feel much concerned that
I mould have given fo much trouble to the Proprietors in general,
and particularly to thole who have fo kindly and effedually ex-
erted themfelves in my favour.
I have no doubt, however, that a few words will convince you
that I have not put you to this inconvenience on light grounds, or
without having every reafon to fuppofe I was duly qualified. It
may therefore be necetfary for me to Rate, bow I have been mil
led refpeetiog my qualification, the alleged defcdt of which is the
eaure of my declining the ballot. _ _

By one of your Bye-Laws, Chapter 6, Seeion 9--" It Is or-
" dalned, That no perfon &all be elcdted a Dircdtor of this Coin-
" pany, within two years after having held any Office in the Civil,
.g Military, or Maritime fervice of the Company."
I returned from China in :833, and in the month of June in
that year my Chip was entirely cleared of her cargo.
I had given up all intention of going to fca again; my pay and
obligation by charter party eared to milt, and I have never Once
received pay, or entered into any charter-parry, or other centred
to ferve the Company. I eonfequently conceived that from that
time I had ceafed to be in your fervice.
111 December 1803 the Clip which I had commanded was taken
up with others of the feafon,iny omen's, given in by the owners
as a matter of eourfe ; I was at a diftance from town, and igno.
I rant of the fait, and the alp was appointed tea voyage, without
any application on my part.
On the 34th January, 1804, I gave in a refignstion. I confidcred
this to be neceiTary, in order to enable a Commander to be ap-
pointed to the fhip ; but I had DO conception that a mere formal
aft could have connected me. with the fervice which I bad abfo-
lu rely relinquilhed.
I was much furprized when I was Informed, that at the Court
of Diredlors on Friday left my qualification for i Direttor was
called In qtreftion ; and I was greatly mortified at learning that
the objedtioti was confidcred by the Court as a bar to my prelim'
pretenfions.
My refpe& for the Court of Diredtors, and for the individuals
who compote it, is ton great to make me think of combating
their opinion. In deference to that opinion, I retire from the pre•
fent ballot ; at the fame time I take the liberty to utiferve, that I
tvae not without reafon milled, as it has ever been the opinion of
thofe in your Naval Service, that a Captain retires trop the date
art the 'hip being elt-ared out.
I have only to repeat my unfeigned thanks for your unprece-
dented exertions on my behalf, and my lincere regret at the
trouble 1 have given you ; and I emit that the gre:a and difintereft.
ed Cumin I have received will infure lily F.! •etion at the firlt vs-
cuncy which may occur after my qualification in complete.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemenl
Your molt obedient and obliged humble Servant,

not difinfe, divefted of an fuperfluous matter, comprelling ter.
ther than copying what has been done by others, and cahibiting a
clear but emicife view of the prefent Rate of the various brandies
of human knosiledge, has long been a molt defirable object to the
EEtglith Reader.
A Dialonary is properly 1 work of reference, and not of detail,
and thole who with to be:come adepts in any one art or fcienee, will
fearcely ItUdy it froth. in EncyclopzJia exclufively.

That a complete view fif the Arts and Sciences may bow.
ever be exhibited on a (mailer kale than is ufually attempted,
will be obvious, if we confider that the Cyclopedia of Chambers
was originally comprifed iff two volumei folio, large and open
printing ' • that the firfl edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica
extended only to three thin volumes quarto; and that many ea.
cellent Work, of a findlar kind, and not of a greater extent,
have been publiibed in foreign countries. The retrenchment alto
of many fuperfiuous and adds articles, which have latterly
found their way into books of this defcription, will evidently
eaufe a cunfiderable reduCtion in point of fire, without in reality
initialring the intrinfic value and general utillty of the work.
Should, therefore, the execntion not difappoint the hopes and
expel:l%o.4ns of thole who have projeeted the New DiCtionary of
Arts and Sciences, the following ale the immediate advantage,
which they trust they may with reafon and modefty promife to its

H BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
" Aufterlitz, Drc. 3.
27th ult. the Emperor, upon receiviwg
anication of the full powers of M. M. Sta.
De Guile'', offered previoufly an armitlice,
spare the effnfion of blood,if any real in-
.a entertained of coming to an at rangement
hive accommodation.
A was eafy for the Emperor to perceive that
ad other projells, and as the hope of fuccefs
could only be derived from the fide of Ile Ruffian ar-
my, he eerily conjeaured that the fccond and
third Armies were arrived, or were on the point of
arriving at Olmu.z, and that the negnciations were
only a raft de guars to lull his vigilance to peep.
" On the aBth, at nine in the morning, a cloud of
ObifAcks, fupported by the Ruffian cavalry, made
Prince Murat's advanced poßs fall back, fnrrounded
Wifchau, and took fifty of the 6th regiment of dre-
goons. In the courfe of the day the Emperor of
Ituffia repai.ed to Witchau, and the whole Ruffian
Army too': up a pofi ion behind that city.
" The Emperer fent his Aide-de-Camp, General
Savary, to compLment tl e Emperor of Ruffia,as loon
as he knew of the arrival of that Prince in the army.
General Savary returned at the moment the Empe-
ror was receimoitrieg the fires of the enemy's out-
ports at WiCcliatt. He fpoke in warm terms of com-
mendation of tile handfonte reception, the favours,
and the perfonal fentiments of the Emperor of Raf-
fia, and even of the Grand Duke Contlantine, who
!hewed him every attention; but it was eafy to un-
derriand,from the converfation he had for three days
with tome 3o coxcomb:, who, under different titles,
are about the Emperor of Ruflia, that prefumption,
mconfideratenets, and imprudence, reigned in the
decifions of the Military Cabinet as much as they had
reigned in thole of the political Cabinet.
" An army fo conducted could not but commit
faults—the Emperor's plan was, from that moment,
to wait for them, and to watch the moment for
profiting by them. He immediately ordered his
army to retreat in the night, as if he had been de-
feated, took a go .d pofition three leagues in the rear,
and laboured with much orientation at fortifying it,
and railing batterie:.
" He propofed an interview to the Emperor of
Ruffia, who fent him his Aide de Camp Prince Dol.
gorucki ; that Officer might remark, that every thing
breathed referve and fear in the appearance of the
French army. The placing Rrong guards, the forti-
fications made with tech haße—every thing (hewed
to the Ruffian Officer an army half beaten.
" Contrary to the Emperor's cultom, who never
receives with fu much circumfpeelion the flags of
truce at his head quartets, he went himfelf.to the ad
vanced polls. After the firft compliments, the Ruf-
fian Officer wifhed to introduce political difeuffions.
He touched upon every thing with an impertinence
difficult to be coeceived ; he was in the molt perfe&
ignorance of the interefta of Europe, and of the &na-
tion of the Continent. In a word, he was a young
trumpeter for England. He fpoke to the Emperor
as he (peaks to the Ruffian Officers, whom he has
long difgutled by his haughtinefs and improper con-
duet. The Emperor repreffed his indignation ; and
the young man, who has a real influence over the Em-
peror Alexander, returned with a conviaion that the]
French army was on the eve of ruin. One may be
convinced, above all, of what the Emperor mutt
have !dieted, when it is known, that towards the'
end of the converfation he propofed to him to cede'
Belgium, and to place the iron crown upon thehead
of the molt implacable enemies of France. All'
there different Reps were attended with their due el-
fat. The young heads that dire& the Ruffian affairs
gave themfelves up, without meafure, to their natu-
ral prefumption. It was no longer whether the
French army thoithi be beaten, but whether it fhould
be turned and taken—it had only done fo much be-
fore,
or formerly, through the cowardice of the Auf-
trians. We are allured, that feveral old Auftrian
Generals, who had made campaigns againft the Em-
peror, warned the Council, that it was not with that
confidence that vac ought to march againft old Sol-
diers and Officers of the lint merit. They laid they
had ken the Emperor, reduced to a handful of men,
re-poffefs himfelf of victory under the moil difficult
circumßarces, by rapid and unforefeen operations,
and detiroy the molt numerous armies ; that here no
advantage had been obtained ; that, on the contrary,
all the afflits with the rear guard of the firft Ruffian
Army had been in favour of the French army ; but
to that the prefumptuous young men oppofed the
bravery of the eighty thoufand Ruffians, the enthuli-
afm inlpired by the pretence of the Emperor, the
picked corps of the Imperial guard of Ruffle, and,
what probably they dated not lay, their talents, of
which they were alonilltcd the Autirians would not
acknowledge the power.
" On the lit of December, the Emperor, from
the heights, few, with indefcribable joy, the Ruffian
army beginning, within twice the dittance of cannon-
flue from his advanced poet, a flank movement to
turn his right. He perceived then to what a pitch
preftimptien and ignorance of the art of war had
milled the Council+ of that brave army. He fail,
feveral times, D.:fore ter-morrow night that army
than he in my peeeer.' Yet the enemy's idea was
far different; they appeared before our polls within
pieol (hot ; they defiled by a flank match upon a
Me- four leegets long. In palling the length of the
French army, which teemed not to dare to quit its
polltiort, they had but one fear, that the French army
lhouid efcape. Every thing was done to confirm the
enemy in this idea. Prince Murat fent out a (mall
corps on the plain ; but all at once it feemed alto-
nifhed at the immenfe force of the enemy, and re-
turned in lia!lc. Hence every thing tended to con
firm the Reilian General in the mitcalculated opera-'
tion which he had determined upon. The Emperor
put the annexed Proclamation in the Order of the
Day. At night he wither] to yifit on foot and incog-
nito all the polls ; but he had not gone many Reps
%siren he was recognized. It would be impoflible
to depietethe enthufialm of the feldiers upon teeing'
him. Lighted ftraw was placed in an irritant upon
the tops of ihoufands of poles, end eighty thoufand
wren appeared before the Emperor, (eluting him with
accynatinns ; fettle to celebt ate the anniverfary cf
his coronation, otters Paying, that the army would
to morrow offer its bouquet to the Emperor. One ofd
azonadiert.wellt 1.10 to him, and Paid,

you need not expo& yourfelf—l promife you, in the
name of the grenadiers of the army, that you (ball
only have to fight with your eyes, and that we will
bring you to-mortotv the colours and artillery of the
Ruffian army, to celebrate, the anniverfary of your
coronation."
" The Emperor laid, upon his return to his zuard
honfe, which confined of a miserable *raw cabin,
without a roof, which the grenadiers had made for
him, This is the fin& evening of my life ; but I
regret to think that I than tole a good number of
thefe brave fellows. I feel by the pain it gives me,
that they are indeed my children, and I often re-
proach myfclf for this fentiment, for 1 fear it
terminate in rendering me unfit to carry on war.'—
If the enemy had teen the fight, it would have ter-
rified them—belt the unthinking enemy continued
their movements, and battened with quick Reps to
their ruin.
" The Emperor male his difpnfitions for battle im•
mediately. He fent of/Martha' Davoun in great Italie
to the convent of Raygern ; he was with one of his
divifions, and a divition of dragoons, to keep in check
the enemy's left wing, in order that, upon a given
fignal, it might be quite furrounded.
" He gave to Marthal Lannes, the cnmmmand
of the left wing ; to Marthal Soulr, the command of
the right ; and to Marthal Bernadotte, the com-
mand of te centre. Prince Murat received the
command of the cavalry, with which he was potted
on one point. The left of Marthal Lannes approach-
ed Santon, a fuperb pofition, which had been Joni.
ed and mounted with eighteen pieces of cannon.-.
From the preceding evening he bad entrufted the
keeping of that firm pofition to the 17th light infan.
try, and certainly it could not be guarded by better
troops. General Suchet's divifion formed the left of
Martha Lannes ; the divilion of General Caffarelli
formed his right, and was fupported at the fame
time by Prince Murat's cavalry. The latter had be
fore it the huffars and chaffeurs under General Keller-,
man, and the dragoon divifions of Walther and
Beaumont, and in referee the cuiratlier divifion of '
Generals Nanfouty and Hautpoult, with 24 pieces of
light artillery.
" Martha' Bernadotte, that is to fay, the centre,
had on the left the divifion of Gen. Rivaud, which
alfo communicated with Prince Murat's tight wing,
and on the right the diviftin of Gen. Drouct.
" Marthal Soult, who commanded the right
wing of the army, had on his left the divifion of Ge. I
neral Van Damme : in his centre the divifion of Ge-
neral St. Hilaire ; and on his right the divifion of.
General Legrand.
" Marfh.il Davnuft was detached to the right of
General Legrand, to obferve the road between thei
lakes and the villages of Sokolnitz and Celnitz.—;l
He had with him General ,Friant's divition and the
dragoons of Gens:ral Bouchier's divifion. The di-
vifion of General Gudin was directed to march at ,
I day break from Nicolfburg, to (lop the corps of
the enemy, which might have outflanked the rightl
wing.
" The Emperor, with his faithful companion in
' war Marthal Berthier, his firft Aid-de-Camp Colonel
Junot, and all his Etat Major, were in referee, with
the ten battalions of his guard, and the ten battalions
of Gen. Oudinot's grenadiers, part of whom were
commanded by Gen. Duroc.
" This referee, ranged in two lines, in columns by
battalion, deployed at a diaance, having in the in-
tervals forty pieces, ferved by the cannoniers of the
uard. It was with this referee that the Emperor
intended to pia forwards, wherever it would have
been neceffary ; we may fay this referee was worth
an army.
" At one in the morning the Emperor got on
horfeback to vifit the polls, reconnoitre the fires of
the enemy, and get an account of what the guards
had learnt of the movements cf the Ruffians—he
heard that they had palled the night in drunkennefs
and noife, and that a corps of Ruffian infantry had
appeared in the village of Sokolnitz, occupied by a
regiment of the divition under. Gen. Legrand, who
had orders to reinforce it,
" Day dawned at length on the 2d—the fun raft
bright ; and the Anniverfary of the Coronation d
the Emperor, upon which one of the greaten feats in
arms of the age was to be performed, was one of the
fineft-days in autumn.
" This battle, which the foldiers perfill in calling
6 the day of the Three Emperors,' which others
call the day of the Anniverfary, and which the Ens.
peror named the Battle of Anne' lite, will be ever
memorable in the annals of the Great Nation.
" The Emperor, furrounded by all the Marthals,
waited only for the horizon to clear up to iffue his
laft orders. When the fun fhot forth his firft rays,
the orders were iffued, and each Martha' joined his
corps at full gallop.
'6 The Emperor laid, in paffing along the front of
feveral regiments—' Soldiers, we mull Was this
campaign by a thunder-flroke, which !hall confound
the pride of our enemies ; and intlantly hats were
placed at the points of bayonets, and cries of Vine
P.Enitereur were the fignal for battle. A moment af-
terwards the cannonade began at the extremity of
the right, which the enemy's advanced guard had
all eady outflanked ; but the unex paled meeting with
Marthal Davoult flopped the enemy (hurt, and the
battle began.
" Marthal Soult put hinifelf in motion at the fame
moment, proceeded to the heights of the village of
Pratzen with Generals Vandamme and St. Hilaire's
divifion, and cut off the enemy's right whofe move-
ments became uncertain. Surprized by a flank
march, %Ann it was flying, believing itfelf to be at-
tacking, and tieing itfelt attacked, it confidered itfelf
as halt defeated.
" Prince Murat was in motion with his cavalry.
The left wing, under the command of General Lan-
nes, marched forward Alb, exec/mien:, by regiments,
in the' fame manner as Witte), bad been exerciliag by
divifions. A tremendous cannonade took place along
the whole line ; two hundred pieces of cannon, and
nearly two hnudi el thoufand men, made a dreadful
noife. It was a real giant combat. Not an hour
had elapfed, and the enemy's whole left was cut off;
their right had already reached An iterlitz, the head-
quarters of the two Emperors of Antiria And Ruffle,
who immediately ordered the Emperor of Rua-la's
guard to march, and endeavour to retiore the corn
munication of the centre with the left. A battalion
of the 4th of the line was charged by the Imperial
Ruffian Guard on horfeback,
recand rowed ; but the
Emperor was at hand ; p‘ived this movement ;

ordered Martha' Deffieres to go to the fuccoar of h;i
right with his Invinc:bles, and the two guards were
loon engaged.
Succefs could not be doubtful ; in a moment
the Ruffian guard was routed; Colonel, artillery,
ftandards, every thing was taken. The regiment of
the Grand Duke Conftantine was annihilated. He
owed his fafety only to the fwiftnefs of his horfe.
" From the heights of Autterlita the two Empe-
rors beheld the defeat of all the Ruffian guard. At
the fame moment the centre of the army, command-
ed by Marfhal Bernadotte, advanced ; three of his
regiments made a very fine charge of cavalry. The
len, commanded by !stadia! Lannes, made revere!.
All the charges were victorious. General Caffarelli's
divifion diitinguirbed itfelf. The Cuiratfier divifion
took the enemy's batteries. At one P. M, the vie•
tory was decided ; it had not been doubtful for a
moment ; not a man of the referee was wanted, nor
had engaged; a cannonade was kept up only on our
right. The enemy's corps which had been furrnund-
ed and driven from all the heights, were on a flat,
and near a lake. The Emperor battened thither,
with twenty pieces of cannon. This corps was driven
from pofition to pofition, and we law the horrid
fight, fuch as was feen at Aboukir, of twenty thou-
fand men throwing themfelves into the water, and
drowning themfelves in the lake.
" Two columns of Ruffians, four thoufand each,
laid down their arms, and furrendered themfelves
prifoners. All the enemy's park of artillery is taken.
The refult of this day is, forty Ruffian ftandards,
amongft which are the flandards of the Imperial
Guard ; a confiderible number of prifoners, the
Etat Major does not yet know how many, but has
already an account of twenty thoufand; twelve or
fifteen Generals at kelt fifteen thoufand Ruffians
killed on the field of battle. Though we have nut
yet the report, we may, at the Qat glance, eftimate
our lora at eight hundred killed, and fifteen or fix-
teen hundred wounded. This will not furprife mill.
tary men, who know, that it is only in a rout that
men are loft ; and no other corps but the battalion
of the 4th was penetrated. Amongft the wounded
are General St. Hilaire, who, wounded, at the be-
ginning of the aftion, remained the whole day on the
field of battle—he covered himfelf with glory ; Ge-
nerals of Divifion, Kellerman and Walther; Gene-
rals of Brigade, Valhaber, Thiebault, Sebaltiani,
Compar, and Rapp, the Emperor's Aide de Camp.
It was the latter who, in charging at the head of the
grenadiers of the guard, took Prince Repnin, com-
manding the Chevaliers of the Imperial Guard of
Raffia. With rerpell to the men who diftinguithed
themfelves, it was the whole army that coveted k-
W with glory—it conflantly charged to the cries of
give kortereur ; and the idea of celebrating fo glo-
rioully the anniverfary of the Coronation, animated
the foldier.
44 The French army, though fine and numerous,
was lefs numerous than the enemy's army, which
was 103,000 (Tong ; 80,000 Ruffians, and 25,000
Auflrians ; the half of the army is deltroyed ;—the
Felt have been completely routed, and the greater
part threw away their arms.
" This day will colt tears of blond at St. Pete&
burgh. May it cattle the gold of England to be re-
jeCteil with indignation ! and may that young Prince,
whom fo many virtues called to be the father of his
fubjetts, tear himfelf from the influence of thole
thirty coxcombs whom England artfully pays, and
whole impertinence injures his intentions, makes him
hole the love of his foldiers, and hurries him into the
moll ill judged operations. Nature, in endowing him
' with fo many great qualities, bad meant him to be
11 the confoler of Europe. Perfidious Councils, by
rendring him the auxiliary of England, will place
him in Intim in the rank of men who, perpetuating
the war upon the Continent, will have confolidated
the Britith tyranny upon the feat, and produced the
mifery of our generation. If France cannot arrive
at peace but upon the conditions propofed by the
Aide-de-Camp Dolgorucki to the Emperor, and
which M. Novofiltzoff was ordered to make, Ruffia
lhould not obtain them were her army encamped upon
the heights of Montmartre.
64 In a more detailed relation of this battle, the
Etat Major will make known what each corps, offi-
cers and General, have done to render the French
name Mufti ious, and to afford proof of their love for
the Emperor.
" On the 3d, at daybreak, Prince John of Lich.
tenflein, commanding the Aultrian army, came to the
Emperor's headquarters, in a barn—he had a long
audience—yet we purfue our fucceffes—the enemy
have retired by the road from Auflerlitz to Goding.
In this retreat it expofes its flank. The French army
is already on its rear, and purfues it at the point of
the bayonet.
" Never was there a more horrible field of battle.'
From the middle of the immenfe lakes we hear Rill
the cries of thoufands of men who could not be af.
filled. Three days mull elapfe ere all the wounded
enemy are carried to Brunn. The heart bleed,— I
May fo much blnodfbed—may fo many mife:ies fall
at length upon the pet fidhins Wanders %alio are the
cattle of it! May the cowardly Oligarchs of Lon-
don bear the burthen of fo many evils!"
ORDER OF THE DAY.
" On the Field, Dec. t.
0 Soldiers, the Ruffian army is before you to avenge the
Aultrian army at Ulm. They are the fame battalions you beat at
Hodabrun, and which you have conitantly purfurd.
0 The politions we occupy are formidable! and whilf they
march to my right,they (ball prefent me the Bank.
" Soldiers, I Bull diredt, myfelf, all your battalions; I mall
keep at a dittance from the firing, if, with your accultonted bra-
very you carry confufioni,nd dikirder into the enemy's ranks; but
if victory be for a moment doubtful, you (halt fee your Emperor
more himfelf to the lira blows--for victory cannot heiltate, on
this dry, in which the honour of the French infantry, which is of
fo much importance to the whole nation, is concerned."
