GENERAL HARRISON

In spite of the difficulties which surround
him, seems determined to press on to De-
troit. Neither tile cold nor the badness of
the roads can deter him from his enter
prize. If he fails, the world will excuse
him on account of the difficulties which en-
compass his path. If he succeeds, those
very difficulties will enhance the Iustre OF
his success.
If he has been reported rightly, Harrison
is a man OF no ordinary promise. War has
been his tavorite study, At very early
age he was with Wayne in his famous cam
paign against the Indians.--A gentleman of
very high standing, who held an important
post under him during the last fell, com
pares him to Washington. He is as cir.
cumsflect as lie is enter h7fsing--as prudent
in collecting the means of an attack, as he
is vigorous in striking the blow.

Of Baltimore, who arrived here yesterday
morning down Sound, IN 90 days from Bor-
deaux, informs that the Prusssians had join
ed the Russians and had declared war a
gainst France: Forty Thousand Russians had
arrived at Hamburg. 1t was expected that
Bonaparte would soon take the field at The

appointed Regent in his absence. 1t was
reported at Bordeaux that the Toulon fleet
had sailed but the report was afterwards
contradicted. Several French frigates had
gone to sea from Bordeaux and other ports
On the 18th inst. off Martha's Vineyard,
Capt. Taylor fell in with the schooner Gen.
Marion, capt. Center, from Nantz, with a
valuable cargo. On the Grand Banks, "a
bout the 10th inst. the General Marion wa
chased by four boats from British frigate.
1t beng nearly calm the boats came up with
the General Marion but were SO well piled
with grape & canister, shot, marline spikes
and cid iron of every description, from their
.suns, that they thought prudent to return to
she trigate. The General Marion had ex.
pended all her ammunition but three rounds
when the boats lett her-captain Taylor
supplied him, and bid him good bye. We
understand the Gen. Marion has since ar
rived at New Bedford. Captain Taylor has
brought dispatches for our government from
our consuls at Paris and Bordeaux, which
were forwarded to Washington by this
