Bv the LYNX from France, which she
Iefsthe 9TH December, we are putin pos.
session of very late and important news
from Russia As 70 American affairs,
the usual promises of advantageous ar
rangcmeats are given , and high prices
quoted. Our minister, Mr.. Barlow,
had actually reached Berlin, on his way
TO K~onigsburg, the ancient capital of
Prussia, TO which city the French army
were endeavouring to make their way,
having been compelled TO fly from the
ruins of Moscow. The invader did not
abandon them, however, until he had
most completely destroyed the Kremlin,
by mining and blowing up all that beauti.
full par, of the city, with powder. He
had it under consideration to destroy all
the dwellings for many miles round, to
deprive of any possible shelter, 100000
people, by himself declared to be wan
dering in the woods and snow, and at a
season so Indictment thatby his own con-
f~ession, more than 5000 of his draft
horses persisted during the retreat. But
he was hurried aud took French leave.
Bonaparte was expected at Paris as oon
as he can escape from Russia, sending
his army TO winter in Prussia, the miii-
tary roads being, he says, watched by
aoAas OF Cossacks.

LATEST FROM LISBON.

Capt Fleming. of the brig Funchal, ar
rived at Reedy Island from Lisbon which
place he left on the 9th December informs
that Lord Wellington was still retreating,
his head quarters being, at the last accounts,
Is leagues in advance of Ciudad Rodrigo,
which he had left strongly fortified, and ca
pable of sustaining an obstinate siege. 1t
was believed he intended to fall back on
his old lines near Lisbon, to go into winter
quarters. Continual achievements for
lord Weilington's army, were arriving at
Lisbon from England. Amongst others,
the guards, esteemed the flower of the Bri-
fish troops had arrived. Massena had form
ed a junction with Soult and Suchet, and
his combined army was estimated at 100, 900
men. The British army was about so or
10000 They had suffered considerably
from sickness and former engagements
The French troops, it was said, were not
advancing.

Accounts from the positions lately oc-
cupied by our armies under the command

full passions of the Canadians, and the
pusillanimous conduct of our generals
excited their contempt; IT IS highly pro-
bable they will take advantage OF the
W withdrawal of the armies to resaliate up
on us some of the evils they lately felt
and were threatened with themselves
Either this policy WILDE pursued by the
enemy, or their troops left unoccupied
by the withdrawal of our armies OF the
" North and Centre" win be sent on to
meet the intended invasion by the "North
Western army.-It is a strange way to
carry on the war--three generals threat

different points, and yet act SO much
without concert, as to enable the enemy,
with a force little exceeding either, to
defend themselves or all points wishesuc-

TO FEDERALISTS.
MR.. fuckers DEFINITION OF
FEnERAIISM

VA
The spirit of federalism considers the
" many as made for the few-government
" as a job, and is never SO true to itself as
I" when false to the nation. Admitting that
" the latter clause of this definition is ra-
/" Their harsh, it must be confessed that the
6 character of federalism is pretty accu-
6 rately hit off,
This is a quotation, substantially correct
from the printed sketch of Mr.. fuckers
address to the people of Frederick, deli
vered at Winchester.
Can any federalist consistently vote for a
gentleman who thinks thus of the federal
party. A VOTER"
cannot procure a copy of the hand-bill,
but | believe the above to be a correct re-
cital Of it.
My object in addressing you at present,
is to do Mr.. Tucker justice, by publishing
in your paper, an extract from the printed
sketch of his speech, which / have since
obtained. 1t will be observed that the
phraseology of his definition of federalism
is rather different from the recital of it
made in the hand-bill, from recollection,
and that qualifications are added beside
that contained in the hand-bilD which con-
siderably vary the sense. = / solemnly de-
clare that l did not recollect those addition
al qualifications of his definition when !
wrote the hand-bill and that | thought, at
that time. that ! had quoted his speech
fairly. For the good or i'll opinion of those
who doubt the truth of this assertion, 1
care not.
/ entertain for Mr.. Tucker great respect
and regard, and the mistake into which |
have unwittingly fallen, has been to me a
source of the most serious regret. | hope
that this ~Uolsntary act will in some mea-
sure repair the injury | have done him.
A VOTER.
EXTRACT.
1t is by no means my inclination to
cite irritation by indulging myself too free
ly in drawing the character of federalism:
Martinsburgh gazette. [volume] (Martinsburgh, Va. [W. Va.]) 1810-1825, 1813-01-29

But the situation in which am placed de-
mands that l should exhibit to you my idea
ofits outlines, that you may perceive how
far-how essentially it varies from the SEN
timents l entertain. Many years past it
was said by a gentleman nearly connected
with myself, and at that time highly in the
estimate Of the republican party, that the
spirit of federalism was that : which consi-
" ders the many are made for the few,
. which sees in government nothing but a
" job, which is never so true to itself as
" when false to the nation" Admitting, as
/ am willing to do the alledged harshness
of the latter part of the description, il must
be confessed that the features of federalism
are accurately hit off in the former. L
speak not of the federalism which we see
within the bosom of our own state, where
federalism exists in its mildest form |
speak of it as protested and practised by
the great leaders of the party.
A letter was received at Washington ON
Saturday evening last, dated Philadelphia,
January the 22d, and written by a gentle
man OF high respectability, in which the
arrival of a brig is announced at that port
in a remarkably short passage from Eng.
land, bringing the pleasing news of the to-
tai discontinue of the French armies in
Russia, and of the precipitate fight of Bo.
nsparte and Murat at the head of only 1900
men, The intelligence adds, hat they
were vigorously pursued by the Russians,
and but little hopes of their escape.
The newspaper mail of last night which
would contain the news brought by this
vessel, according to the arrangement of the
post office, will not reach US till this even
ing. The letter mail however, brought .
letter from London, dated the 10th Dec
and addressed to a mercantile house in thi,
town, in which it is said, that " Bonapart,
had met with an unexampled defeat in Rus
STA" This looks like a confirmation of tn.
account given above, and is sufficient u
keep alive our hopes at least till this even
ing, when we may expect to receive its con
frmation or contradiction by the papers.

"When l visited your father, he re-
ceived me in his library, and on my IA.
king leave showed me a shorter wav out
through a narrow passage, which was
crossed by a beam overhead we were
still talking as | withdrew, he accompa-
nying me behind, and I turning partly
towards him, when he said hastily, 'stoop,
stoop.' did not understand him till (
felt my head hit against the beam. He
was a man who nsver missed ar occasion
of giving instruction ; and upon this he
said to me, you are young, and have
the world before you, sfoop as you go
through it, and you will miss many hard
shumps.' This advice, thus beat into
my head, has frequently been of use to
me, and | often think of it when l see
pride mortified, and misfortuncs brought
upon people by carrying their heads foo

GENERAL HARRISON.

We understand that a gentleman of
this city has a letter from a member of
Congress, stating that he had received a
letter from Gen. Harrison of a very re-
cent date. The General was at Chilli
eothe on the 3oth ult. preparing the
means of an expedition of mounted ran-
gers against Tecumseh, who was under
stood to be on the head waters of the
Wabash with 500 warriors. The Ge-
neral would proceed Immediately to
S~andusky, and thence forthwith to take
possession of the Rapids of the Miami )
and to Detroit, and perhaps to Maiden,
with a corps of three thousand troops,
these being all that he can under exist
ing circumstances feed. Eng.

January 81.
The committee to whom were referred
the petition of sundry citizens of the coun.
ty of Knox, in the Indiana territory, on the
9TH instant, praying remuneration for de-
predations committed on their property by
the mounted riflemen of Kentucky, lately
under the command of major general Hop
kins,
Report-that upon examination OF their
petition and the accompanying documents,
they find the facts stated in the said petition
to be fully supported, by the certificate of
the commanding general, which is here
with reported. That the d~epredations com
mitted and the damages sustained in conse-
quence thereof have been examined and
estimated by men acting under the solem-
nifty of an oath and appointed for that pur-
pose by the acting quarter master, pursu-
ant to the orders of the executive of the ter
ritory aforesaid. The damages thus esti-
mated amount in the aggregate to the sum
OF two thousand four hundred dollars.
The committee are aware that trespasses
upon private property are generally re-
dressed by the operation of municipal law,
but in cases similar to the present, where
an armed force, under the authority of the
government, were suffered to remain sta.
tionary, contiguous to the property of indi-
viduais, and that force unrestrained by the
orders of their commander, it is unreasona
Bile to suppose, that the citizen could pro-
tect every portion of his property from the
lawless depreciation of the soldiery, or dis
cover the offending individuals when dis
charged and dispersed over an extensive
The committee therefore submit the fol-
resolution Resolved, That the
prayer of the petitioners is reasonable and
ought to be granted.
