The Hurderer8 Of Miss Hamilton.
We learn that on Friday last, two men
were lodged in Poughkeepsie Jail, charged
with the murder of Miss Hamilton, of A
thens, the particulars of which horrid muir
der has been lately published in this Ga.
zette. One of these men was dressed as a
sailor, and the other in a common country
dress. II appears that they landed from a
boat az Hyde Park, about FIVE miles from
Poughkeepsie, and took up their LODGINGS AZ
tavern. They lodged in a room where
two other 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 gniI.
ypersons. They mentioned the scufle Ibev
mad with the deceased, and that their inten
ton was TO violate her person-but finding
that she made so much resistance. thev de
termined to take her life, and throw her io..
to the creek. One Of them said that she
had severely bit his arm. The two uersons
who overheard this conversation immediate,
" took measures to have them apprebend-
Ell aud they we're lodged in Jail as above
stated. On their examination before ma
gistrate they denied The charge but ON he.
ing ordered to expose their arms, a wound
supposed from bite was discovered on one
OF them, which, he said he had received in .
scutiie with woman Of I'll fame.

BATTLES
OFrAUTZEN AND WURTCHEN.


From The ". 7. EUenilig Post.
The accounts ofthese battles come
from the Moniteur, which Of course
awards the victory to the French,
but take 3onapartc's own statement
of this sanguinary affair, and if the
result can be called victory, he
will have reason to say from such
victories Good Lord deliver US! A
few such victories would destroy this
usurper ferever;-They would be
as fatal to him as his boasted con-
quest Of Moscow. The writer OF
this confused account, would have
us believe that the French have ell
tirely routed the Allies, when he ac-
knowledges that they had not been
able to take single standard and
only nineteen pieces of cannon
though be says that in tho two first
days of the contest they lost 10 or
$4,000 men. Not word OF their
loss On the two last days, except that
of the Grand Marsal Duroc. d Gen
Kirsener! The inhabitants, says
the bulletin maker, estimated the
loss of the enemy at $4,000 and we
have 10000 wounded in our posses
sion. Then one would infer that all
the information which could be Oh
tanned ofthc loss Of the enemy, was
received from the Inhabitants. IF
this be really the case the enemy are
not so completely defeated as some
could wish. At any rate they are
no, routed; and as they are in 81
tuation 20 be reinforced, and Bona
parte has not the same advantage,
we might expect soon to hear OF a
mother battle, had not the armistice
interviewed. And here is eircum-
star. which would go further to
fix the result Of the battle, than any
bulletin which could be produced,
could We ascertain the fact respect
ing il. If the aImistice was asked
by Benanarte, then 10 spite of all
his bulletins, we should say bis VIE
tory had not been decided one !;
but if it came from the Emperor a.
lexander. we might suppose that the
French bad gained advantages. it
not decided>yictery. Of this fact,
heweyer. we are not certain.-Tho'
we have the articles of the arElistice
before us, We do not know from
which Of the Emperors the propo-
sition first came, and it is not pro-
bable We shall know until we receive
the Russian, and Prussian accounts.
For what the armistice was cor
cluded We know not /; it has been
rumored heretofore, that it was pre-
paratory to q peace, and that a con-
gress was to be convened to enter
fnto negotiations on that subject.
But ne find no such thing mention.
