A report was current that the emperor

The grand-duke of Wurt1bourg, brother
Of the emperor of Austria, has shewn the
same sentiments, and declares, that il the
Aussrians advance to his states, ne would
retire if it was requisite tothe other side OF

SrRAseuRc, Apr;l ~.

During some days past, several couriers
have arrived from the army, with dispatches
to her majesty the empress, giving infor-
nation of the success of our arms, which
becomes more and more Important. The
army of the arch-duke Charles is destroyed.
All the artillery, the military chest, the
baggage, and several thousand baggage wag-
gons, are taken. Ihe number OF prison
srs are immense. They have fought each
day since the 10th, and have always been
beaten. Our cavalry of which the duke OF
Istria has taken the command, pnrsues the
weak rema rs of the Austrian array towards
the Inn. The superb division OF calrasslers
underthe command of general count Is
payne, has rendered sigma. services.
B Yesterday about noon, courier extraor-
binary arrived with dispatches, announcing
new victory. They assure US, that the
corps of the arch-duke John, who had IN
vaded Tyrol, was cut off, and compelled to
throw down their arms. We wait with
impatience the details of this happy event.
AS official news arrive here, they are
transmitted by extraordinary courlers to
Spain, Holland and Italy.
All the details we have prove that the
defeat of the arch-duke c narles is complete.
They write from Augsburg, that the pri-
sopers arrive there by thousands. We do
not know positively, where the arch duke
Charles has retreated to. Many of the
Austrian regiments threw away their arms
TO speed their flight.

The approaching Grand National
Festival, (says the Boston Gazette) is
expected to be celebrated with more
than customary splendour. 1t ought
to be solemnized until the end Of time,
with every demonstration of public
gratitude, thanksgiving and joy. In
this metropolis, which is looked up to
as the grand conductor Of public senti-
ment and feeling, we shall hope to see
the next anniversary of Independence
peculiarly distinguished for its splen-
dcur and magni6cence not only by
military shows, and every other exhi-
bition Of pornp and parade during the
day, but by general illumination Of

Federalism and Burr
OR,
The Pobe and the Preteuder.


Mr.. Randolph says that among the good
things resulting from the charge Of admin
istration, the magic terms, Federalism and
Burr, like the Pope and the Presnaer, in cer-
tain periods of the history of England, will
no longer scare the people from the course
pointed out by the original principles Of the
constitution. YOU must have suspension
of the Habeas Corpus, or Aaron Burr to
reign over you, said the JefIersonisns 10 the
PEOPLE Of the United States: You must
have a septennial Parliament, or the Pre-
tender, said Sir Robert Walpole TO the
people Ct Great Britain. IL is unquestlon-
ably true, as Mr. Randolph has remarked,
that the assertions by the ninions Of admin
istration, that Burr and the Federalists we're
connected, almost wrought up large por-
tons of the people to pitch Of frenzy a.

II was supposed that the novelty Of a
Summer Session, the pleasan,ness Of
the Season, and the ease of travelling,
would attract great crowds to the me-
tropolis. But Washington possesses
no ATTRACTIONS for the sovereign people,
even when decked with all its exube-
rant verdure and innumerable flowers.
Very few people appear in the gale
ries, or even at the hotels-Ynuch few
er than is common in the winter sea-
son. The settlement witl England is
considered as complete, and no body
cares for France of course our for.
eign relations have ceased to be inter-
esting to the people. One .soeth to his
farm, and another to his merchandise,
and even the ladies almost cease to
grace the galleries with their charms.
The federalists do not as yet come for
ward in debate. Mr.. Randolph almost
exclusively occupies the floor on the
part Of the minority. And it is the O.
pinion of friends as well as foes, that
he STEAKS TOO much. Great men should
not make themselves cheap. Mr.. R.
speaks a number of times upon SUBJ
Ject, when, as his peculiar forte is re-
ply, it would be better for him jdst to
start the subject, and after drawing
forth the whole strength of his antago-
nists, to oyerwhelm them all by one ge-
neral BRoADsIpE. His mind is fervid,
vigorous, inexhaustible but it would
be we'll for him, on common topics, to
adopt the Horatian idea of iatoriny TO be
briet, and reserving the full torrent of
his redundant eloquence for occasions
worthy Of lis pomp and power.
