splendid detail Of his talents and ser
vices as a Man and Naval Command
er, by assigning him the brightest page
in the archieves Of our country. Suf-
fee it to say that his whole career was
both honorable TO himself and pre-emi-
nently glorious and beneficial to his
country. AT an early age, and in the
dark period Of the revolutionary war, he
held naval commission in the service
ofthe L. S. He then exhibited strik-
ing specimens Of bold, adventurous
and intrepid spirit, which stamp the
character Of the real hero.
The high expectations 50 justly rails
cd in his youth, were more than equal
ed in the exploits Of his meridian life.
Iky interval Of peace from 1888, ill
the commencement of our difficulties
with France in 1896, afforded no op-
pOrtunity for display Of his talents.
On the establishment Of the U. s. ma
w he was honored with one Of the first
appointments. His conduct as COM
marder of the y. S. squadron in the
Mediterranean, while it unfolded
bright example to his successors in the
navy, acquired him the lasting graft
tude and thanks Of his country. His
successful efforts in the Bay Of Tripeii,
are well known in Europe and Ameri-
ca. They led 10 the restoration Of
peace and the liberation Of our country
men from bondage.
Throughout every scene Of his life,
that cool and deliberate courage and
persevering ardor, for which he was SO
singularly conspicuous, never lorsook
him. His genius scared above vulgar
enterprise. He gloried in de-
tending his country against out
rage and oppression but was never
solicitous Of IN occasion for such an
employ ment. lie sincerely deprecat-
ed war, as the worst OF evils: never
theless, amid the battles rage" his
arm would stand z host against the en-
emies of his country.
AS a relative and friend, Commodore
PREBLE's character was equally estl-
maOIe and exemplary.
Although those who frequently saw
him were Justly alarmed at the state Of
his health, yet his own expectations OF
recovery, till within about ten days OF
his decease, were sanguine. On ind
ing the inveteracy Of his disorder bid
defiance to the best medical skill, he
resolved on a water excursion as last
experiment, and on Sunday the 9th
inst. went on board a packet and stood
out TO sea in hopes OF deriving dement,
from sea air, but finding no relief, re-
turned the Thursday following, sensi-
bic that the hour Of his dissolution was
fast approaching. With this pre-
science he summoned up the energies
Of his soul and behed the approach of
the king Of terrors with that calm, yet
heroic fortitudc which in every situa-
ton was a characte ristic trait Of the
man-his exit was in every respect
conformable to his past life. The death
Of such q character as Commodore
PrebIe, would at time Of perfect tram
guilty be Justly received as public ca
lamity but the loss Of such man un-
der the peculiar situation Of our public
affairs, at the present time, must add
to every feeling Of regret and render
the loss doubly distressing.

A quarter of league from the fmsIl town of

take poheG'on of it. Three regiments who de-
Tended it were beaten but at the fame infant
column of Ruilian cavalry attac ked the left of
the 9th regiment, and put one of the battali-
ons into dforder. The dragons of Klein's
divilion were apprifed of this in time the
troops engaged in the town of Eyen. The
enemy had placed feveral regiments in a church
and graveyard they made ftubborn relihanre
and after bloody combat on both iides, they
let their petition at ten O'Clock in the eve ming

AT day break the enemy bagan the attack by
4 briik cannonade upon the town of Eylen, and
upon the divilion of St. Helaire. The emperor
went to the church, which the enemy had 70
ultimately defended the evening before. He
cauied the corps OF Martial Augereau to adj
vance, and ordered the hill to be cannonaded
by 40 pieces of artillery of his guard. A dread
tnl carnage took place on both hdes.
The Rufiian army ranged in columns, was
about half cannon GIot dlftant-eyery troke
told. At one time il appeared by the move
ments of the enemy, that impatient of his fuf-
terlags he meant to attack our left. At the
idme moment the fharp-lnooters of MARTIAL
Davout were perceived attacking the rear of
the enemy-tbe corps of MARTIAL Auecreau
diiplayed IN columns for the purpofe Of attack
