mere never was time when public eXpec-
tation and individual curioity were more alive
than at this moment.
The accounts which we have read from all
quarters allure us, that there have been very
long and bloody battles between the French
army commanded by Bonaparte, and the COM
bined armies, where 'tis faid, the emperors of
Rnfiia and Auitria have alto fought in perfon
1t Teens to be generally admitted that in the
action or the Cd OF December, the French gain
ed great advantages, but it ALTO appears that
they were verified OH the 9Th, but nothing has
yet tranfpired to prove to us that either party
can claim victory. In this fate Of uncertain
ty, every one is at liberty to make out tory

others who exerciie this privilege, the writer of
this article fuggefts the following
Bonaparte's army, including the troopswhich
were left at Vienna, amounted to about one
hundred thouiand men. At Vienna he left A..
bout twenty-five thouCand the Rufian army
under kutufow amounted to about forty five
thoufand men the remains of the AultriaD ar

more; all thefe formed junction near OImutz.
Bonaparte depending upon his late fuccehcs
and his fortune, determined to force them 10
action. In the mean time general McheIfon
who commanded another Ruffian army of about
forty thoufdnd, has joined the confederates, 70
that the whole 0f the combined RiifIidH and
Auftrian army has been about one hundred and
twenty thoufand ftrong.
fthefe things are 70, the fuperiority Of the
confederates in numbers rendered it eafy to re-
pair the defeat of their centre on the I'd, & the
fame caufe would fave them from defeat on the
5th /; the accounts which have appeared, autho.
rife the opinion, that on The 9Th nothing deci-
five was done each perhaps was too much in
jured without further aid to force the other to
further combat.
1t is well known that the French had feve-

On the same day, ANrHONY MEk-
RY, ESQ. late Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Pienipoten,iary from the same
court, took leave of the President.
Information from the Wesfuard.
The latest authentic accounts are from
Gov. Claiborne and Gen. Wilkinson, and
come down to the oath of Sept. At this
period an answer was expected from the
governor ofthc Spanish province of TaXos,
which would be likely to determine the
complexion of the measures to be pursued
on the part of the United States. Such
doubts were entertained on this head, that
the preponderating opinion was that u re-
course to force would be rendered inevit;l-
BILE. In this event, we rejoice to say, that
there is but little ground for apprehension
The Spanish forces amount to about fifteen
hundred, while our regular force, reinfor-
ced by militia, will be from eleven to thir-
teen hundred. The Americans we're still
at Natchitoches, and tho Spaniards at Bay
on Pierre.-.Nat. Intel.
BY authentic information from the Ha-
wanna, dated Sept. 81, we are advised of
the appointment OF a new lntendant, from
which n favorable change in the conduct
OF that government. TO the United States
may be expected. At that time Miranda
was said to have made. good his landing
and to have made some progress in the
country towards Santa Fe, where he has
been joined by 1900 of the inhabitants Of
the country.
The French Admiral Wilameuz had
got safe into port, with the Foudroyant, al
though pursued under the guns OF the Mo-
TO by the British friglte Arson.
AT the moment of closing the letter con-
tanning TINS information it was reported,
that Spanish schooner had arrived at Ba-
tabano, and brought accounts that Miriam
da had had an engagement, had lost about
10o0mcn, and had retreated about IS miles,
but the report was said to want coniirmas
tion.-i6
