FOREIGN REPORTS.
Monday, July 8, 1909.

THE foreign intelligence received since
our last, comes in such questionable shape
as MOTTO be entitled to full credit. The ae-
counts from the north as we'll as the south
of Europe, are somewhat vague and contra
dictory. BY some accounts it appears the
war betwixt France and Austria has thus
far been most disastrous to the latter
Judging from the past conductof Bonsparte,
it does not require the spirit of prophecy to
calculate the fate of the Austrian Empire.
In Portugal, and some parts of Spain, the
French are losing ground. The inhabitants
of these countries will not readily submit to
the yoke OF the conqueror.

Effects of the Embargo.


AT the late Session of Congress, a
law has been passed for borrowing
three millions Of money for the support
OF public credit, the revenue having
been cut off by Mr.. Jeiferson's philo.
sophical experiments. This affords an
excellent comment upon the embargo
policy.
The Legislature of New-IIampshire
have granted $3.50 dollars for the cree
ton OF building at Hanover, dart

The report that Gen. Armstrong,
our Minister at Paris, is about leaving
France, is contradicted. There are
many circumstances that induce a be-
lief that he ought TO be recalled, if on

mr.. Lovc called for division Of the
question. He thought it might be impor-

the section, to go much farther than the new
section proposed.
After considerable discussion, the ques-
ton was taken on striking out, and lest, ~

Dir. +. M9n1gomery moved to amend the
bill by adding new section, to prevent
French or English subjects from obtaining

The amendment was rejected, and the

the embargo was shield spread over rhe.n,

the prodigal son, and unite Ike brethren IN

plan was TO interdict the entrance OF our
ports to belligerent vessels armed or unas11l-
ed and lay tax of5o per cent. On their ma
nuiactures. Great Britain must then either
90 to war or treat with us. Ii she was m
clined to go to war in preference to revok-
ing her orders in council, let her do So
But he was inclined to believe that she
would treat. If she seized our vessels,
however, the effect would be lnevitabie.--
Division amongst US would be done away

his position that all distractions ought to be
removed with view to negotiation. lie
asked what security had the y. S. il they
did all this, if thev submitted to such abject
humiliation, that Great Britain would treat {?
Was it to be expected that she would treat
more literally with us when we solicited

nimously contcnded for our rights |? The
gentleman from Massachusetts, (said he)
when repeating his creed, had forgotten a
part, viz. /" Unfulthe tanners ofAe rebn6-
lie against hr imperial Standard" This
would complete project he had lately seen
proposed from the East; and as to its apple
cation, coinclding with ne wishes over the
water, would be such project as Mr. Can
ming might dictate. Revoke your procla
nation, remove the Embargo, and " rsn.uri

standard" Mr.. Williams concluded a
speech of an hour and half in length with
giving notice that he should move to amend
the bill, when the present motion vas decid-
ed, by striking out all that part Of 1t relating
to non intercourse, and inserting provision
interdicting the entrance of our harbors to
any vessel CT Great Britain and France, and
imposing an additional duty on all goods
imported from those countries.

BANKS OF THE ELBE, June so.
Nothing decisive has as yet arrived from
the great theatre OF war; but according TO
all accounts, may be daily expected as the
three bridges over the Danube were flushed
on the 18th, and great reinforcements had
reached the French army; Napoleon adj
also finished all the preparations and di,po.
sltions for grand and decisive attack on
the heroic Archdukc Charles, and his val
liant army, who were also prepared to re
Ccive him..
The victory which the French blazon to
have obtained over the Archduke J1hn, by
their Italian army, and the occupation Of
Raab. were mere ephemeral successes. as
intelligence has been officially received of a
much LATER date at Prague, stating that the
Archdoke had retaken the position on the
Raab, ana the French are said to have re-
treated before him.
According to private letters from Aus
tria, the Duke of Ragusa's army has been
defeated and totally dispersed in the confines
OF Hungary, and no more than 5000 men
are said to remain of it. By the same chan
mel 1t is said, that 4 combined British and
Turkish naval and military force has re aiken
Trieste and Fume, and CONQUERED the
greatest part Of Dalmatia. D.,
The presence OF British army in Han
over, would be great diversion in favor of
Austria, as many of the inhabitants would
JON, particularly as the CONSUMPTION for
France will soon be introduced"
