Lac from France.

By an arrival al New-Bedford from
France, accounts are received TO the
22d of Oct. a month later than our
former advices; but the papers furnish
Intelligence ofno great French victory !;
and the victories OF the Allies when a
chieved are not TO be looked for in Par
IS Papers. Ii appears by the printed
accounts that Napoleon head quarters
were still at Dresden. The army nn-.
der the Prussian General Butcher are
in advance positions. II Bonaparte
had gained any very important adyan-
tsges recently, they would not only
have been stated in the Gazettes, but
announced by salutes of artillery in the
seaports in France. The verbal news
is that the French had been defeated, s
were retreating towards the Rhine,
The French papers say, that the Cos.
sacs have interrupted the communica-
ton between Leipsic md Frankfort.
II Frankfort on the Maine is intended,
this is an important fact a. il is far in

By an arrival from France, we havs Pa
ris dates TO the 18th of October, whsh
give accounts from the armies in the north
OF Europe, up to the tof October, (near-
iy month later than the advices brought
by the last arrival, BY which it appears that
no movements OF consequence had taken
place. The head quarters vi the allied ar
my was at Topliiz, 40 miles from Dire sden,
on the LIST of October, tho same position
they occupied a month before; and accord
ing to French accounts, their forces were
shut up in the valley of Toplitz, and KEEP,
in check by the vastly superior positions of
tho French armies. The head quarters of
the French emperor was at Dresden on the
29th September, and the line Of posts ex-
tended from Pima, on The Elbe, II Ores
den, Leipsic, Targau, -Wirtcmburg, and
along the whole course Of the Elbe to Ham
burg, nearly the Same positions they held
month before, and the communications
no way interrupted. 10000 quintals OF
grain bad passed up the Elbe and arrived
sale at Dresden.
The French papers contain new order
for the raising of 100000 men; and an adj
dilional force of 10000 troops was march
ing for Spain
The extreme inclemency of the weather
IS assigned as che reasons why active epe-
rauons has not taken place. 1t appears
that on the 22d Sept. Napoleon offered a
battle to the enemy, which they refuse d,
and rctreated in all directions. The vice
roy has advanced, and Gained some atiyan-
tases on the side of Itaiy.-Great jealousy
and disunion had made its appearance
among the officers OF the allies, in eonse-
quencc of the deserter JoMINI, being pIac-
ed at the head of the military councils.
Notwithstanding these accounts put down
the foolish tale recently published in the
British prints In this country and England,
that the French had been defeated and
compelled 10 retreat from Dresden, on
the 18Th OF Sept. yet we see that deception
is sill kept up in those papers, by saying it
is so reharfed, although correct, regular
and the latest accounts declare directly to
the con,rary-Pqhiot.

rally certain that Judge Benson, who has

probably succeed Bowers from this state,
as he contests the election of that gentle

LATEST FROM HAMPToN's ARMY.
TO THE EDITOR.
PLATTsBURGH, Nor. 81.

SIR,
II is generally said here, and have no
doubt OF the truth is, that gen. Hampton
received orders yesterday, from gen. Will
klnson, to march his army from this place,
where II had already cut and drawn logs to
build huts, to French Mills. 1t is also said
and believed, that gen. Fl. imme diatcly
ordered his troops to get ready to march
at moments warning, but sent off an ex
press TO gen. w. 10 eBdeavor TO obtain
countermand OF the order on acceun, Of
the iateDess OF the season. When the ex-
pross returns, suppose the army OF course
VIII march, OF, not, as shall be directed by
general w. unless the secretary of war, to
whom 1t is said all express has also b cen
sent for his interference in the premises.
should order him to stay here. The cause
Tor gen. w. ordering gen. HIS army to
French Mills is attributed to various cir
cumstances, amongst others to the rumor
of many British troops having arrived at
Quebec and Montreal
The moment M Dtreal and ST. Johns are
taken, Quebec will not he worth cent TO
England, because nearly all the fur, ship
umbsr, pot ashes, beef, pork, wheat and
Hour, goes down Lakes Superior, Huron.
Erie, Ontario and Champlain, and the ri.
yer st Lawrence, Ottawas, or Grand Ri
YER, and the river Sorrell by Montreal, or
st. Johns, with which the British merchant
ships are freightod from Quebec. 1t is
therefore, matter Of astonishment, that our
government does not assum: bold, decid-
ed and commanding attitude relative to
tho occupation of Montreal and st. Johns,
that II does not Immediately procure arms,
ammunition and provisions, add when the
proper period, either this winter, or ear
ly noxt spring arrives, and before any
moro British troops can possibly be sent
to Canada, offer such wages as will induce
sufficient number Of men TO rendezvous
at time and place 10 be previously Motif
ell to take those places in ton days from the
time OF their repdezvoun. For the few
days these troops would be wanted, besides
a legal share Of the public property which
would be taken, the higher their wages
the better and cheaper, because it would
The Alexandria herald. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1811-1826, 1813-12-06

procure an overwhelming force. After
the taking Of these places, by which to car,
ny the war entirely away from cur own fron-
tiers, il would not be matter ofmuch I'M
poftsnce TO proceed in so great haste in
the further progressof the conquest Of the
province, but we might as well proceed
lsisurely and systematically, unless the U.
States should deem IL polite to continue
pushing the enemy pretty hard in Canada,
TO give him fully employ for all his land and
some Of his naval force Vhers rather than
no shall again have leisure to harrass our
cities by threatening to land troops & make
a descent upon them, as he did last summer
on all the cities near the Chesapeake. The
more troops he leaves in Kingston the bet
ter, because after we take Montreal they
will fall into our hands of course but he
will evacuate Kingston as soon as we seri-
ously threaten Montreal.
