LONOON, tiiC q
Dutch Gazettes to the 9Th and Paris pa
pers. to the 18th inst. have reached us. The
former communicate the death of the gal
liant Schill. He fell at the head of his brave
followers, contending for glory and lndepen-
dence, in the heart of the city OF S'ralsund,
Of which it appears he had been in complete
possession. Stralsund was attacked ny the
French gen. Gratien, whose report OF the
action is not very clear. The fate OF the IN
trepid Schill was ? circumstance too import
ant TO be passed over, but the conclusion OF
the affair is not noticed with precision; we
are merely told that his troops were thrown
into confusion.
The Moniteur contains a detail OF the
operations of the army of Italy, almost from
the first reverses of the Austrians In that
quarter of the capture of Trieste and the
junction of the army with that part OF, the
French force in Germany commanded oy
gen. Lauriston. If we are. to give Implicit
crsdit TO this detail, the trophies gained by
his son-in-law, Eugene Beauharnols' are
not less brilliant. than those of Bonaparte
himself in his mostssuccessful campaigns
We ara assured that the French army has
in this extraordinary career of victory, Ia
ken IS 600 prisoners, so pieces OF cannon,
sand 10 standards. Of the Accomplishment
of the object in view. no doubt, we tnmlS'
can. be entertained; but when we are grave rave
" assured, that six hundred Austrlans we're
taken bv lieutenant and twelUe men, we
are surely justified in considering these Oh

SEES, raised by generals Bertrand ana N aVa-
let, at 100 fathoms from the place, began
the bombardment; 1900 obusses were shot
in less than four hours, and soon the whole
appeared to be in flames. One must have
seen Vienna. Its houses Of eight or nine
stories, It's narrow streets and numerous
population within SO narrow compass, IN
order to form an idea of the tumult, dlsor-
der and disasters which such an operation
could not but occasion.
The archduke Macmillan had, at one in
the morning, caused two battalions to march
in close column, in order to attempt retak-
ing the pavilion, which covered the raising
of the bridge. The two companies of vol
tiguers received them with discharge of
musketry, which, with the Is pieces of ar
tillery from the right side, destroyed part
of the column, and forced them to fly in
great disorder.
The archduke lost all presence of mind
in the midst of the bombardment, and espe-
cially at the moment when he heard we had
crossed an arm OF the Danube, and were on
the march to cut off his retreat. AS feeble
{ and weak as he had been rash and arrogant,
he was the first to fly and recross the bridge.
The respectable general 0 Kelley learnt on
ly by the flight of the arehduke, that he
was invested with the command.
Day-break on the 18th announced TO the
advanced guard that the firing would cease,
and that deputation was about 70 be sent
to the emperor.
This deputaticn was presented to his ma
iestv in the park Of Schoenbrunn.
| His majesty assured the deputies of his
protection. H expressed the pain which
the inhuman conduct of their severe ign had
given him, WHO had not feared to deliver up
his capital to all the calamities of war--who,
! himself striking blow at his rights, irstead
| OF being the king and father of his subjects
had evlnccd himself their enemy and ty
rant. His majesty assured them that Vi
emma should be treated with the same in
diligence and valor which had been display
! ed in 1906. The deputation answered this
assurance by expressions of the most lively
gratitude.
At niue Of the morning the duke of Ri
voli, with the divisions St. Cyr and Boallet,
took possession of the Leopoldstadt.
During this time, lieutenant general o.
Reilly sent lieutenant general de Vaux and
colonel Bellonte to treat for the capitulation
of the place. The anns xed equalization,
was signed in the evening, and on the 13sh,
at of the morning, the grenadiers of Gu
dinot's corps took possession.

Being about to leave this parteof the
peninsula, probably for "a short time, the
lieutenant general feels it his duty tosex-
hort the inhabitants of these kingdoms, by
the LOYALTY which they owe to their sove-
reign, BY the love they have for their farni-
lies, and by all the most holy and dearest
pledges they possess, TO rise in support OF
their religion, their king and their coun-
try.
s Unless the government and the nation,
make the utmost efforts, the just and glo-.
rious cause OF Spain will run a most serious
risk but if they be not wanting in the ne

Providence, that great causewiil be crown.

Nh. SNoRDEN,
Finding it impossible by any fair means,
to turn out the hon. j. Lewis. the present
member Of Congress, we have found it neces-
sary to have recourse to lies, which ws have
found very useful, especially at the late cleo
ton il, Prince II Nham.
One of our stories, ofhis intention to tax
Flour, Won have unfortunately for us contra-
dicted, which has made it proper to make
little variation, by reporting now, that a tax
on all prodace eaceht Flour, was his object. In
consequence of himself ans friends being In
terestcd in that article.
We can assert of our own knowledge, that
he was great friend to the Embargo, and
was one of Mr.. is principal advisers to re-
commend ittu Congress. Heis Royafst,
and Muhometan, which is plain from his
wearing, blue coat, the secret badge of all Of
them. He was in favour OF paying tribute to
England and France. He is 4 man of no cha
rity, and little or no rehSfon, and OF hcrSe-
eating spirit; has an unbounded aversion to
QuakerS and Dutchmen, and their principles.
lie brought bill into Congress to tax all.
their property, real and Personal, and gave as
areasoa that they were more industrious and
independent than any other class of citizens,
of course were better able to bearit. He bro't
in another bill providing tnht the nezo raised
as.mq should. coosist Of Quakers only, from 60
to Is years of age. They paid the lower
house, but by the cxeriens of his political
opponents were fortunately, for many o his
respectable constituents, lost IN the Senate
He is 20 poor mans friend, s an invcterate
to enemy otd soldiers: he wanted congress to
agree to put them al to death, or let general
W--n take them to New Orleans to
sell as slaves to supply his table with scgars,

the affairs in Spain have grown by any
means desperate, because Bonaparte has

are many topics of consolation and encou.

the probable junction of the English ar
