oFEIcIcIAL news FROM THE GRAND AR
MY.

PARIS, May s.
Her majesty, the empress queen and re-
gent, has received the following news from,
the army.
The actions at Weissenfelds and Lut-
zen, were but the preludes to events Of the
highest Importance.
The emperor Alexander and the king
OF Prussia, who arrived at Dresden with
all their forces, in the last days Of April,
learning that the French army had de-
bouehed from Thuringia, adopted the plan
OF giving battle to it in the plains uf Lut.
zen, and put themselves in march TO occu-
Ply the posi- ton; but they were anticipated
by the rapid movements of the French ar
my they notwithstanding persevered in
the project; and determined to attack the
army, In order to bring it from the position
it had taken.
The position Of the French army, on the
Cd. of May, at o'clock in the morning, was
rs follows;
The left of the army rested upon the Ell
ster; it was formed by the vice.roy, hav-
ing under his orders the 5oth and llth
corps the centre was commanded By the
prince of Meskwa (Ney,) at the village of
Kaia. The emperor, with the younger and
older guards, was at Lu:zen.
The duke of Ragusa, {Marmont} was at
the defilc Poserna, and formed the right
with his three divisions.
Lastly, gen. Bertrand commanding the
9th corps marched to reach this defile.
The enemy debouched and passed the Ell
ster at the bridges Of Zewakeau, and Pc
gau and Zeitz. His majesty, hoping to
anticipate this movement, and thinking
that the enemy could not attack before the
I'D, ordered gen. Lauriston, whose corps
formed the extremity of the left, to march
upon Leipsicl, with the view of disconccrt-
ing the projects of the enemy, and 20 place
the French army on the Sd, in a position
very different from that in which the enemy
expected to find it, and from that where it
was on the I'd, and, thus to carry con-
fusion and disorder into the cnemy's CO.
lumns.

THE BLOCKADE

There is now certain information that
our coast is declared by the enemy IL a
state Of blockade. An express arrived
in town this week from Newbern, to his
excellency the governor, stating that
flag of truce had entered that port for
the purpose of giving due notice 10
neutrals. This Information had sudden
ly affected the prices of produce; and
there is not a doubt many Of our mer-
chants, who have purchased, will sas-
tain very serious losses in consequence

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Albany, Sept. 81.
The last nights mail bro't US news
that the two fleets were safe in port
the British at Kingston and Chaun-
eey at Sacket's Harbor. The battle
which has been SO much talked OF,
was a trifling running fight. in which
neither party received any injury OF
consequence. Oaly single man on
board Of our fleet was injured-and
that was by splinter. The move
ments TO the north Indicate something
important from that quarter. but the
number Of troops under Hampton IS
too small for any thing like an irrup-
lion into Canada-upless it should be
against some small post. Report
saws Prescott is 10 DO attacked, and
that Hampton is probably now at ST.
Regis on the ST. Ihwrtnce.
laere is 20 doubt but the British
have a force on each OF the great
Lakes. sufficient in heirpresent mode
of warfare, which is altogether ~ the
defensive, to prevent any important
operation by water. This is stig-
ma which the administration cannot
wipe of. Indeed every thing but
honor appears to be connected with
the war and its managers.
The militia which by the late order,
were to rendezvous at Burlington I'D
aid of Hampton, and to garrison the
different posts on the Lake, do not
much exceed 6OO-they were caieu-
lated for 1900 at least.

9HB MURDERERs OF MISS HAMILTON.
We learn that en Friday last two men
were lodged in Poughkcepse Jail charg-
ed with the murder OF Miss Hamilton,
Of Athens, the particulars OF which her-
rid murder has been lately published in
this Gazette. One of these men was
dressed as sailor, and tho other in a
common country dress. ltappears that
they landed from boat at Hyde Park,
about five miles from Poughkec psie, &
took up their lodgings at a tsvern.--
They lodged in room where twoother
men slept, and during the night entered
into conversation on the subject of the
murder OF Miss Hamilton from which
conversation it IS evident they were the
guilty persons. They men toned the
scuffic they had with the deceased, snd
that heir intention was to violate her
pcrson--but finding thai she made so
much resistance, they determined 10
take her life arc threw her body into the
creek. One of them said that she had
severely bit bis arm. TIE two persons
who overheard this conversation imme.
diately took measures to have them ap-
pretended; and they were lodged in Jail
as above stated. On their examination
before magistrate they denied the
charge; but on being ordered to expose
their arms, a wound, supposed from a
bite was discovered on one OF them,
which he said he had received in scuf.
fe with woman of i'll fame.
