BY General Orders lately published
By General Harrison, it appears the
"great and glorious news" we lately
had Of the capture of Detroit and OF
Fort Maiden, by storm, was not true ;
and that such is the pGsillanimity or
want of ability at the seat of Govern
ment, that for ten days together gal
liant army had scarcely sufficitncy of
food to sustain life, and were entirely
without some articles of their ration.
By former intelligence We. have been
m de- 10 understand that the Army had
neither guns nor ammunition and
now we are told that they are in STAR
wing situation. After all the boasting
and fluttering of the Gull-tribe, it must
be evident that our Country Is in a de-
plorable condition, and our brethren in
arms exposed to a powerful enemy,
destitute of the means OF self defence, or
even self preservation-Surely this does
not look like foeing the mark.

unanswerable. BY the prudent, firm
and temperate conduct Of the comman-

from all odious CONSUMPTION, and reserv-
ed for the defence OF the rights and lib
critics OF the people, instead Of being
dragged from their homes TO gratify

Our duties as men aud citizens of a free

and enforced with the ardor of a states.

Poland is re established into a kingdom.
and Berthier is reported as the destined mon

The Pope is arrived at Paris, as also the

Every arrival from the Continent may be

the intention oSthe Russians to avoid a gene
raj action, and we should imagine that no H.
telligence of ths kind can, for some time yet,
be reasonably expected.
BY an article from Turkey we find that
the treaty concluded between Russia and the
Porte has been broken off suddenly, most
probably by the influence of France.
The direct communication between e.

some vigorous ~exertion will be made by Ber-

success to the Russian cause.

PLYMOUTH, july %.

French papers have been received, their
contents are so Voluminous and important,
that did the limits of a weekly Journal per
NIT, we should feel Inclined to give them to
our readers Mt full length. This however, be-
ing impossible, we shall c%ontine ourselves to
a brief recapitulation Of the most important
part Of their contents. The 4th and 9Th bull
letins of the grand army are received, they
are dated wilma the 9th inst. Wilma is a
bout 2l5 miles east of Warsaw, III Lithuania,
and was the headquarters ofthe French ar
my at the date of the last bulletins The
Russians were in full retreat before the French
and were devastating the country in their
way, so that the French army would have a
desert TO pass over in the pursult-ttds would
be a trying operation and would call forth
all the energies and talents of Bonaparte, to
counteract its effects upon his troops-We
shall also see if the Russians judiciously per-
severe in the system of retreat; whether this
alternative dreadful as it is, may not be made
use of in future wars to stay the military ca
reer of the tyrant of Europe. A few Skin
mishes have taken place between the oppos-
ing armies, but nothing of moment beyond
an affair of posts. Thu French army occu-
pies a line which, beginning at Telsh passes
with rather a South Eastern inclination
through krakenovo and Avahta to Swent-
ziam. 1t then descends TO Wilma, and con
tinues its direction Southwark to Grodno.-
They occupy about halfthe territory between
the Niemen and the Dwina.
The Russians appear TO reIeatin good or
der towards the Dwina. Bonaparte hoped,
by passing the Niemen. and spreading him
self suddenly on his right to the Villa and to
wilma, to separate one part of the Russian
army from the other.-By forcing the first
and second divisions under Wittgenstem and
Bagration, to fall back to the Dwina, by Ro-
sienna and Wilomir, he hoped to cut them off
from Wilma, and particularly from those
corps, the larger part Of the Russian army,
which were to the southwark of wilma, at
Nov. Trocki, Ida, between Ida and Grod-
no and at Wilkowish. Bagration, the most
active and enterprising of the Russian Gene
rails seems to have been the most IN danger,
and to nave been the object Of Bonaparte's
particular attention.
The Russian war is pregnant with the
most important consequences to the whole of
that Empire at his feet, there will be no bar
rier remaining to his ambition on the CONT
nent Of Europe, a gigantic and overwhelming
force would be poured into Spain, which we
fear would be irresistible, and an uneontroul
ed dominion over Europe would give leasure
for operations in the east, that might be Of
the utmost consequence to US as a nation, and
make way for an attack on our India posses
sions. Should the Preach not succeed in the
