VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 90.

Every thing being ready for the Congress, it ap-
pears that this Assembly will open to-morrow (Oc-
tober let), and this great event attracts general ar-
tcntion. The Congress will bold l's sittings at the
Secret Chancery of State. There will be littie spoken,
it is said& to avoid the verbal discussions, to which
there would be no end ; all the business will be done
in writing. •It is not doubted, that as soon as the
ingociators agr,:e Upon Articles, they will be imme-
diately Communicated to the public through the
Medium of the press. It is thought that those diffi-
culties, which are likely to run to length, might be
public/1r debated, to elicit information from persons
who are not members of the Assembly. It is hoped
that the press of the Court and State will imme-
diately publish a journal of the proceedings of the
Congress.
Atnaig the recent arrivals here, are the Prince
Royal of Bavaria, Prince Eugene Pleauharnois, the
Prince -of Schaumburg-Lippe, Prince Leopold of
Saxe.Coburg, Prince Radsivill, the Neapolitan Ge-
neral Filangiari, &c. &c.
Prince Schwartzenberg, President of the Council
of War, who was on his estates in Bohemia, has re.
mined to Vienna. He had the honour of a visit from
the Emperor Alexander, when that Monarch passed
through Bohemia.
The Prince Royal of Wfutemberg is not yet *TH.'
ved. It is said that before 'coming here he has gone
to visit his sister, the ti•devant Queen of IVestplialia.
Yesterday morning, the Archdukes visited the
King al.cl Queen of I3avaria. About mid-day, the
ladies visited the Queen in demi-court dress. The
King afterwards visited the foreign Sorcx eigns who
are here. About five o'clock the Emperor and Em-
press of Austria, and the Emperor and Empress of
Russia, proceeded together to the Prater in an open
carriage, preceded by the court equerries, and escor-
ted by the gu,trds and pages on horstb:trk. A long
file of court carriages followed, in which were the
foreign Sovereigns, the Archdukes and Archduchesses,
the Princes and ladies attached to the Court of Aus-
-44 and to those of the foreign Princes, all the nubi-
lity, all the foreigners of distinctiop, together with an
rirnmense muhitutle, sieve collect." in the Prater....
1 Aftsr promenadingfor some time in their carriages,
the august Sovereigns witnessed sonic fire-wcfn ks,
!which were magnificent and universally applauded.
.The whole_ brirliant cavalcade then.traversed the
:principal streets of the capital, to view the

PARIS, OCTOBER 10.
The Duchess of Wellington has arrived at Paris
with her children.
The mortal remains of Marshals Bessieres and Do-
me, and the hearts of General Larihnissiere and three
other Gcnetal3, which were placed in one of the cha-
pels under the dome of the Invali‘ls, have been re,
moved to the vaults under the nave of the church.
Very alarming tiots have taken place in the Hessian
city of Marburg, between the studeote of the univer-
sity of that cl!y and the Saxon imps. The officers
and sol.liers of a Saxen regiment made an attack, in
the open day, upon the students, and wounded several
of them. The Saxon Commander-in-Chief, General
Tli:elman, whose head-qu ,rtes were at Marburg,
immediately ordered the grenadiers to depart, and
promind to give the inhabitants satisfaction.
An advertisement, published at Bourdeaux, gives
notice that the Spanish refugees, not military, compre-

allowances granted to Spanish military refugees. Tee

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
611 TING of 301 x.
The debate on the plan of law relative to the ex-
port of corn was resumed. The discussion princi-
pally turned on the different prices at which exporta-
tion should cease in the different districts into which
France was divided.

M. 13EQuxy, the Director-Gcneral of Agriculture,
replied to the objections which had been made to va-
rious parts of the plan, and stated several facts with
regard to the Trice of corn in different parts of France.
A wish, he said, having been expressed to know what
was the price of wheat in the south of France, before
178.9, he had examined the returns of the five districts
of Grenoble, Provencel Languedoc, Rousshlad
Auch, parts of the country where the price hat:icon-

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1814.

To the iiiterestiriA extracts w; ich we gave yester-
day from the An erican Papers, we Nava this day
added mai,y other ciiroas arti.les I; om the same Pa-
per,. Some of them are of a date pi ior to the capture
of Akxandria, but they are necessary to the series of
events of which our Readers have a right to be in-
formed.

As might be expected, the unlocked for visit of the
British force, and the successes which attended the
operations of his Majesty's arms, have spread a very
general dismay among the doughty American cham-
pions. All payments in cash by the Banks of New
York and Philadelphia were instantly suspended, and,
as we noticed yesterday, the individual States were,
in this dilemma, obliged to look for means for their
separate defence. It has been reported, that after the
first alarm had subsided, these Banks had resumed
their cash payments. We cannot assert that the fact
is otherwise; but in the different files of Papers which
have reached us, though we have examined them
with care, we find no notice of the kind ; and our be-
lief is that the report alluded to rests on no foundation.
At the other places threatened with a visit, there is
much bustle. At New York but one sentiment
exists—i fixed determination never to yield the city
to the enemy but with their lives 1!" We shall ere
long see bow truly these life gentlemen keep their
words.

The Federalist Papers, though they call upon their
countrymen to arm for the defence of their fire-sides,
'are louder than ever in their reprobation of the con.
duct of ItilAnoos and his adherents. In fact, they are

sensible that the evils they now surer, sal those whin
which they are still threatened. are all to be attributed
to the mad projects and unprovoked aggressions of
that drivelling time-serving poltroon.

publishing a few days after our troops left Wa:ltireg.
too. im still the effrontery to praise Mamma fir his
activity and zeal in the public service. He will sues;
find, howeter, that better support is wanted to ficcp
iLiin in his situation than the publication of parsgrapri-;
of his own dictAtion.
NEW-YORK, SEPTEMBER. a.

The times are awful ! Fire and sword approac!! '
Americans, adopted citizens, defend your preciou.v
invaluable liberties l Without these blessings, Ir.--
would be a miserable existence. Better to perish in .1
manly struggle, than to be degraded and enslaved!'.,.
Your country sounds the alarm in a vr.ice of thunder
You cannot be deaf to the present call upon pntr pa-
triotism ! Dream not of safety while the er.cm) is at
your doors. The Capital of your country h.:s be a
taken ; our acn;ilistration rotted ; but we ta-c Iv: a
brave, and if united and deter rained, an or:Conquer-
able people !
One of the sources of our misfortunes is removed-4
Armstrong is dismissed. Capable men, in whom we
have confidence, will soon come into po..ver. We
shall have a vigorous war, all hearts being united, or
a speedy and honourable peace.
Yesterday, agreeably to General Order:, the whole
military of the city war paraded, consolidated into
full companies, and entered into actual serricl..
—They were ordered cut early is the morning, and
bore the fati:.rues of the day with ellaracte:istic pa-
tience ; and when dismissed to meet again early in
the morning, they rent the air with approbatory ac-
clamations. Soon will this respectable body of troops
be complete in discipline, as they are now in the means
to take the field. If occasion requires, they will prove
themselves worthy sons of illustrious sires. But one
sentiment exists—a fixed determination never to yield
this dty to the enemy but with their lives.

A gentleman from Troy, by the steam boat, in-
(onus us, that 4000 troops were ordered from Platte.
burgh to.the westward, via Glenn's Palls, supposed
to be destined for Sackett's Harbour; and that 6000
rations were required to be issued at Glenn's Falls.
FROM THE FEDERAL REPUBLICAN, AUGUST 2,
DEFENCE OF GLORGETOwN.-A-Half-past seven, P. M.
—Several of the enemy's vessels are in sight five mile%
from the town. The troops of the town, and between
3 and 400 Alexandrians who. marched is from il.e
country this afternoon, are drawn up in order cf bat-
tle, to receive the enemy, should he attempt the place.
The Officers waited on the Piesident .in cense.
determination
of the Secretary of War, and signified their
&termination to resign their Commissions, unless they
received an assurance, that Armstrong should not ba
,soffered to interfere with their arrangements -This
assurance was givim by the President. . . •

LATEST FRITH ALE, O'ClOCk,
The enemy is busily engaged in loading their vessels
with the property obtained by the capitulation. In
tl:e article of flour they are very particular to take
such only as pleases their palate. They throw into
the Potomac ail that is oot fresh and sweet. It is sup-
posed they will be employed several days in filling
their ships with booty. All their proceedings ate in
full view of the city heights, and within a few miles
of Mount Vernon, where rest the remains of the vene-
rated founder of this republic. Shade of our beloved
Washington, look down upon your poor, suffering,
humbled, bleeding country I Will there be no at.
tempt to cut off these ships as they descend the Poto-
mac, and compel them to disgorge their plunder ?
Are there no cannon, no furnaces, no ammunition, no
men ? A bounty of ore hunched and twenty-four dol-
lars and no urea to throw a few red-hot shot at two fri.
gates and four small vessels, with not more than SOO
marines to land ? Are there no troops and no muni-
tiovs of war after the millions that have been borrowed
and squandered ? There are, but they are on thr
l.akes in Canada. Admiral Cockburn sac told in the
city the night rf the conflagration 44 if Washington
were alive you could not have done this." No, said
the Admiral, s, we should not have been at war, nor
would HE have left his capital defenceless for the pur-
pose of making conquest abroad." Had the Stoning-
ton Tories been at Fort Warburton, Alexandria
would nut have been abandoned• to the enemy, any
more than Washington could have been betrayed had
a King or a Marshal been at tile head of the nation.
FROM THE BALTIMORE PATRIOT, AUG.
Captain Porter's purser brings tbe latest intelligence
from the British—which we have heard. He states
that they had not arrives! at ,Qaeen Ann's—and had
not completed their embarkattion—,doe news of the
capture of Annapolis is of coqrse premature.
FURTHER PARTICULARS. —The following is fur-
nulled the Editors of the Patriot by as officer of di,.
tinction, who was in the battle :
The British left Bladensburg on Thursday nizlit,
by the road to the Patuxent, carrying with them as
many of their wounded as 49 horses could drag, in
waggons, carts, and carriages. They left eighty-
three wounded behind, and tkirty men to take care
of them—among the former were two Colonels and
one Major. The last died a few hours after. It is
supposed their loss in killed and wounded amounted
to 501). The field and road in front of Commodore
Barney's battery were strewed with dead men and
horses. None but officers being on the latter their
loss must hate been severe,
before the Commodore ordered a retreat his horse

was shot IP der him ; he was himself wounded, with
sever i 1 of his officers anti men, and the enemy hid
surrounded his brave band, h it (31 iven his,tiftbt
flank(composed of regulars) from their post, and
thereby got in his rear. Gen.,ral Ross acknowledged
his fire to have been tremendous, and that his first
gun laid ten of hib meh in the dust.
One advantage their men had over ours, was, their
carrying each from 60 calltidges upwards. They,
however, were so loaded with their ammunition,
knapsacks, &c. and were so overpowered by their
rapid march, that many fell dead in the road.
As they passed through Bladensburg their mouths
were open, gasping for breath, and their officers
were driving them forward with their swords and
espnntoons. Twelve were buried in one field that had
not a wound.

Commodore Barney's wound will be tedious, but
is not dangerous. He has been removed to his resi-
dence on Elkbridge. Captain Miller of the marinesp
was badly wounded.
_ _

Among the latter still remaining at Bladensburg,
are as follows :—James Hooper, dangerously ; Geo.
Lawder, ditto ; John Denney, ditto ; W:lson De-
night, flesh ; Harry Jones, ditto.
A deserter, who was in the battle, states that Co.
lonel Thornton, of the 85th regiment, was shot from
his horse (a grey) early in the battle; that Majnt
Wood, of the 29th, fell shortly after, and that he be-
lived frcm three to four hundred have deserted from
the enemy.
