yet taken the command, 50 that the party
know rot from day to day what they are to
do next. It has been agreed IN caucus to
RAISE the embargo on the 5th OF March, and
substitute war measure in It's room but
SO many of the northern democrats are OPP
posed to war, that the leaders fear they cam
notcarryit and if they Cannot, they are
determined not to raise the embargo. fhey
hope by appearing to vote IN the hrst IN
Stance to raise the embargo, that they shall
deceive the people, and make them bear It
little longer. This is the whole trick.
Ina late caucus, all the nothern demo-.
Gratis except very few, expressed their
wish to have the embargo taken Oft with
OUT war substituts-even the New Jer-
sey representation were unanimous for rails
ing it-but the southern opposed it. In
partial caucus, Of southern hot heads, they
agreed to give up New England, if she
would not join them in war with Great
Britain, and strengthen themselves in the
middle and southern states, where they
fancy their measures will be universally ap-
proved. That they have held such con-
versation is certain, but that they are such
fools as to think the nation can exist with
out the northern states, cannot believe.
Having stated my Information, will
now add my opinion Of what will take place;
but this you will observe is the opinion of
an individual only, and Of a mere mortal
too, for | now speak as such; but as it is
formed by comparison Of circumstances
which cannot be known to every one, it
may come near the truth. think the en-
barge will nat be raised this session. A re-
solution may pass to raise it in June, but
with no to intention raise it even at that time
the single object is still to deceive the peo-
pie. II the embargo should be raised at
the time the resolution lately passed points
out, war measure will assuredly be adopt
ed, which will be worse than the embargo.
p. S. Fad like to have forgotten to
state that Mr.. Coles is in the secret OF the
private letters-a secret with which Mr..
Smile himself is not entrusted.

FROM THE ". Y. EVE.NING. POST.
Washington, February 5ht, Sunday evening
/ O'Clock.
When wrote you last respecting the dis
patches to be sent by the Pacific and Men
tor, told you if made any farther disco
yeries before the letters were sent off,
would immediately communicate them. I
have since discovered more than expected,
and things which | am truly sorry should
exist to be discovered. Indeed am puz.
zled TO believe them myself, and if it were
not for several concurring circumstances,
should certainly more than doubt the truth
OF the statement am about to make.
Mr.. Coles, the private secretary of Mr..
Jefferson, goes out to France, and he car
ries letters from Mr.. Madison, the contents
o. which have already transmitted to you
in substance. But besides the official let
tiers from the Secretary of State, he carries
pricate letters fran Mr.. jefferson, the con-
tents Of zvhsch Mr.. Madison himself does
not kno10. These letters are to point out to
France her true interest. And it is already
asserted by those who are in the secret, that
we shall assuredly have peace wih France.
That her DEGREES will be revoked AS respects
us, and all our differences with her settled.
What the operation Of this arrangement is
to be you can guess as well as I've shall
then have only England to fight.
: That there is a secret understanding be-
tween certain great man and Bonaparte, /
am well satisfied. It is very evident THAT
there are secrets which they dare not ex-
pose 10 the great body of the democrats in
congress-, and this of the private dispatches
is one. The divisions in caucus which have
so bewildered the party are evidently occa-
stoned BY the want of leader who should
give out his orders resolutely and peremp-
torily. Jefferson trembles at the move
ments in New England and declines going
into any new measure. Madison has not

On the 5th at the earliest dawn, every man
perceived the emperor's plan, WHO was now
with his army in order of battle at the fur
thest extremity of the enemy's left wing
had turned all his intrenchments, rendered
all his works useless, and had compelled the
Austrians to move cut Of their posts and tc
give him battle upon ground which was adj
van1ageous. This great problem was ac-
complished, and without passing the Danube
any where else, without even any supper,
from the works, the enemy was obliged to
fight three quarters of league from his re RI.
doubt: Now was anticipated the greatest s,
most happy result.
AT in the morning, the batteries which
played upon EnzersdorR, had produced such
an effect that the enemy was fain to take
posse ssion of it with 4 battalions. The duke
of Riyoli ordered his first Aid de.Camp St.
Croix to march against it, of which he pos
sessed himself without much opposition and
captured every thing in il.
Count Ouainot surrounded the Fortress Of
Sachsensahg, which the enemy had garri
soned, compelled 900 men which defended
it to surrender aud took 10 pieces of cannon.
Now the emperor ordered his whole army
to display upon the immense plain of Enzers-
dorff
Meanwhile, the enemy who had commit
ted an error in his plans. recovered from his
astonishment, and entleavored to command
some advantages on the new field of battle.
For this purpose he detached many columns
of infantry, a great number of artillery and
all his cavalry, as well of the line as new
levies, in order il possible to outhank the
right wing of the French army. Wherefore
be took possession of the village of Rutzen-
dorif The emperor ordered Count Oudi
not to take this village, & ordered the duke
of Auerstadt to pass on the right of it, and
direct himself against the head quarters of
the Archduke Charles. as he was continu-
ing to march from the light to the left.
From noon till nine o'clock in the evening
we manGuvred in this vast plain. We took
all the villages, and as we approached the
heights of their entrcnched posts. they retir-
ed from, them rs though through magic. The
Duke of-Rivdl caused them to be taken pos
session of without opposition. In this man
'ner we got into our power. the works of Ess-
ling and Gross Aspcrn. and thus thef40 days
work of the enemy was rendered totally use
less to him. At Raschdorff, which the duke
OF Ponte Corvo caused to be attacked and
taken, he met with some opposition. The
enemy was every where put to fight and an
initiated by the superiority of our FIRE. The
immense field of battle remained covered
with his fragments.
