observed rigid adherence TO the articles of their
faith, as tho .fagio.7meican Patriots to this section
OF their political credendd Unlike the Indian, who
boasted OF telling "two truths to le," they might
with propriety assert If it would not be too great
deviation from their accustomed path of falshood,
that they had told three Hcs truth SO habi.u-
atcd these patriots to falsehood that the man of
vcracity is by them considered political hereck,
and excoinmuncated from their ranks. On the con-

their bibles, or squandercd the publick money, and
involved the nation in debt, he is admitted to full
communion. If he despiscs his own country, the
measures adopted for its Defence and the security of
its national rights, he is considered proper candi-

millions OF dollars, which sent out Of the
United States, paid tribute money to France,
he is thought staunch patriot Ifhc advocates the
cause Of England, and worships the British :stry,
he is called christian. He must must also believe
that Jefferson is French partizan, and that Madi-
SON advocated the principle of payiug tribute to
Franco. He must have condemned the EMBARGO
and Non-lntercoursc laws, until British professions
INDUCED our government to repeal them, and when
British pcr6dy rendered the adoption Of the sasnc
measures again necessary, he must have remained
silent on the subject He must admire the CON-
mcncement Of President Niadiyon's administration,
and keep in store all the curses OF yinctvc malcvo-

II Austria indeed did engage in this without the

to the world that she is as capable Of acting the fool

English intrigues nation has fallen which cannos
TO the British ministry the cause Of her dis
grace. Every nation which England has embraced
has been torn from her arms and strangled. Twice
before, has Austria experienced fate which ought
to have taught her lesson Of wisdom. Her empe-
rour has twice been reduced to the hinating atcr-
native Of receiving from the hands of an invading en-
cmy his territories, and muid for his conduct OF,

cost him his crown Can it be possible that Austria,
after her former damning alliances with England has
fallen uncorrupted If 50, the British ministry arc
deserving praise for their neglect The anxiett, how

From tie Government Gazette
HE following two dispatches relative TO
Inc battle of Talavera have been received
from general Cuesta:
MOST EXCELLENT SIR,
i communicated to you, on the night
before LIST, in my advices from the Lett bank
Of the Alberche, my suspicious that | should
De attack by the forces which the enemy
bad collected at Toledo, if continued sepa-
rated from tae English. THIS conjecture
'nSiaced me to repass that river Yesterday
morning, and take the position that had been
agreed upon with general Wellesley, the
two armies formed line before Talavera,
avalsing ourselves OF the vallies and the o.
,ner advantages of the ground. Scarcely
had we finished forming our line IN the SAID
POSITION, when the enemy yesterday, about
i've IN the evening, presented himself in all
ms force, amounting, as We conlectursd, to
iroa35 to 10000 men, including 5000 ca
VARY, and attacked with the. utmost fury
Cur whole line. directing their PRINCIPAL et-
lorts against the left, where the English
Were posted, with intention of turning their
isit flank. 'rns attack and defence were e
saliy obstinate, I'll recourse was had to the

.bayonet; but at length the enemy were
twice Iepulsed with great loss in killed and
wounded the. action lasted till half past s
at night. The English likewise suffered
great loss, especially in officers our loss,
has not been considerable. Ourstroops IN
general behaved with bravery and hrinness,
except three or four corps, which manifest
ed omefsebleness, of which shall speak
when more atleisure.
[ aVery early this morning the enemy re.
newed MS attacks, which have continued till
the present time, that's, seven in the even
ing; but they have been repulsed in all, as
I hope they will be in any Others they may
make. Joseph Napoleon was present IN
person till this evening; but we now know
that he has ..retreatsd with his guards, and
repassed the A!5erche, with 90 cars OF
wounded.
6. have not time to enter into further
particulars, as have passed days on the
field Of battle withal my troop, under arms.

C MOST EXCELLENT SIR,

!
MOST EXCELLENT SIR.
9. At ssyen yesterday evening, /
communicated to YOU Information OF the re-
peatees at.acks 81 the enemy, and our reso-
lute defence. When night came on hostlll-
ties began to relax, but without the enemy
abandoning his position. A little before
day break The ct:c'ny began to retreat, and
has repassetl toe Al,erche in the direction
towards cazalegas and Santa Olaila, des-
pairing Of Beng able to dislodge US or even
10 move usa IN our position. they have
left the field Of battle strewed with carcases
and wounded, who had neither time nor
power to retire. They have suffered a
treadfu? loss, which would have bera great
tr if our troops had not been prevented
from pursuing them by fatigue and want OF
provisions. Ihc English have likewise
suffered auchin the loss ofthree generals,
several sub;.itern officers and a number Of
men but they cannot be denied the glory
of having fought with much valor and DIS
c;pline, and forced the French to acknow-
ledge that they never vivld IN any enterprise,
especially if commanded and conducted ay
their intelligent, active and brave Leader,
sir Arthur Wellesley.
e The Spanish troops, and especially those
which had the greatest share o. the action,
left netting TO wish ior With respect TO
their courast a::el gaIlant'v. The herce and
well supported Are OF our infantry repu'ssd
the repeated attacks OF The enemy, and the
chrrgcs Of oar cavalry caused them much
loss. The kings reg ;mens has, in part!cu-
lar, coverrdit Itself sltn glory, and IN con
junction win the English, took several
pieces Of cannon, and made prisoners BE-
neral. coIoac,, and several officers; and
request that lis colonel, brigadler don Jo-
seph Maria dc Las1res may be promoted to
the rank Of lieut.. gen. for having attacked
at the head of his regiment, glvintl the best
example.
/" F rom the accounts Of the prisoners, we
know that the whole guard OF Joseph Ma
poleon, was present III the attack OF yester'
day morning, and it was upon that that jo-
s4ph placed his principal reliance but when e.
he saw It repulscd and routed, he immedl-
ately few TO Santa Olalla. We likewise
know that his army In CONSERVATION and
confusion took the road towards Toledo,
without provisions or any means OF suos'st-
ence.
" To conclude, the pressure of time on
ly permits me to say, that this has been the
most glorious and Important action OF the
whole war, and that which hope will open
10 us the road to the Ebro, so soon as we
can procure the necessary supplies tor the
troops. !,
May God preserve your excelleney ma
ny years.
