We learn by gentleman who les Bor..
deaux the i7th OF June, that Bonaparte first
gave permission to A nerican vessels that
had sailed from American ports under the
late arrangement with the British minister
Mr.. Erskine, TO enter the ports of Holland
aud Immediateiy after ordered them all 10
be seEed.
1t was reported at Bordeaux that .ixty
Thousand French troops were on their
march 10 Spain, and that it was the inten-
ton OF the marshal dukes of Elcheneen.
Trcviso and the generals Suchet and KEEL
herman, to let the English penetrate little
inso the interior of SPAN and thus draw
them into snare.
The following article was published in a
French paper aud was deemed to be of6ci-
alt
AHvERs, June 90 in the presen. state
of things, II may be regarded as certain,
that the im erIal decree of the 10th Sep :
tember, will be executed with more rignr
than ever; and that its influence will ex.
tend to he allies OF France on the CONT.
nent; for, if ever there was moment
when blow could be struck to the com
merce of England, to the productions OF
her fabrics and 90 that of her colonies, j, is
the present one. Almost all the coast OF
Europe belongs to France, to her friends or
allies. Trieste, as well as Sweden, are lost
to England and she Baltic sea will soon be
surrounded by an army, who will protect
1t from the introduction. Of prohibited goods.
No other system than that followed SINCE a
long time, can now be adopted without ru.
IN 30 French commerce and French ia
orics; and that facility Of coming into our
ports undtr the American Dag, ought TO be
forbidden. These are truths OF which ALI
the commercial places OF France are pene.
trated, particularly that OF Paris.

Opposite Ebersdorf the Danube is diyi..

lands. From the right bank to the 6rst
island it IS 240 toises (fathomsj wide this
island is nearly 1000 toises in circumfer-
ence. From 'his island 10 the great island
where runs the principal current, the CHAM
mel is 100 toises wide. The great island
called In der-Le6au, is 1000 toises in cir.
conference. The first conugueus villages
are Great Aspern, Esliug. and Ebersdorf
The passage of a river like the Danube.
1efore an enemy who has perfect know
ledge OF Its localities, and who has the in

1T the greatest operations of war OF which
1t IS pnss,ble 70 conceive.
The bridge from the right bank to the
FIRST island and that from the first island
to In der Lobau, were erected on the 10Th
May, and -onthe 13Ih Molitnr's d vision

On the Goth, the emperor passed to this

Prevention better than Cure.

In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and
for removing superAuous bile, perhaps no
remedy has been discovered superior to
LEES HAHN'S AMBITIOUS PILLS,
Which for 10 yoars past have been attend
ed with the greatest success. The testimony
of many respectable. persons in our southern
sea ports has been atlduced who have reason
to believe that a timely use of this sautary
remedy during the prevalence of malignant
fevcrs, has preserved their health after ex-
periencing alarming symptoms of fever.
Certificate Of VIM. DsOeDay.
During the last nine years have been IN
the habit of using Hahn's Ambitious Pills,
prepared by the late Mr.. Lee, whenever
colds, head ache, or costiveness have render
ed medicine necessary; in these cases sim
gle dose has uniformly removed my head
ache, and has generally been found sufficient
to remove every symptom of cold, if taken
on It's first appearance. Induced by the be-
nefit I have received, have for years past
recommended them to many OF my friends,
and have the pleasure to inform you, they
have invariably succeeded in removing the
above complaints,

Some time last spring was afflicted with
loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever,
and great debility, so that could scarcely
walk. In this distressing situation took
many things, but without benefit. An ac
quaintance in the cotlAtry sent to me to pro-
cure box of Hamiltonss Lozenges. Curios-
ty prompted me ts read the directions, where
/ fonnd my complaint exactly described by
the doctor. i Immediately sent for another
box of the Lozenges, and took one dose,
which brought away large quantity of
worms, and felt greatly relieved. Encou-
ragged by this, 1 took another dose. which
was attended with the happiest effects, as it
relieved me entirely, and am now in better
state of health than for considerable time
past. l have since given them to my chill
dren, and can speak from experience, that
they are most valuable medicine, and am
happy to add my testimony to numberless
others of their efficacy.
