LONDON. June g.

A General Congress of Kings is to assem-
BILE Immediately in Vienna, for the distri-
button of the lands and hereditaments'
conquered from the sway of Napoleon, and
] the forfeit tenements of some of his devoted
| slaves-Saxony for instance. In this divi-
| sion, Great Britain has but a moderate
| claim, which will be most cheerfully grant
| ed. She will have the Electorate of Hano-
yer, containing about one million of inhabi-
tants-and the Principality of Osnaburg,
which with the Isle of France, the key to
the Indian seas-Malta, the key Of the L.
&c. make a very handsome addition to the
realm-and with the immense dominions
before under our sway in all quarters Of
the globe, will well entitle our monarch to
the style of Emperor.
BONAPARTE'S BARGE.
June 3.-The Belle Poule has brought to
this port a most splendid copper bottomed
barge which Bonaparte made use of when
he last visited Bordeaux and it is the more
remarkable as being the only Eagle trophy
captured by our tars. 1t was taken on the
first advance of our squadron up the Ga
rome River, after hard fighting, amidst q
number of gun-boats and a squadron Of
briggs. protected by three batteries. 1t has
a superb cabin in midships, in which
twenty persons can set at table, which is
entirely lined with plate glass mirrors has
a state chair in the cabin, formed of the fl
CURE Of" Hope" reclining between two an
chors, which form the seat and arms, cover
cd with gold and red velvet; her bow is ve-
~ elegant, being richly decorated with .
silver " Dolphin" holding a " Globe" in its
mouth, over which ~hutters a large Imperial
Gold Eagle the canopy of the cabin is up
held by bronze " Maids = the tout en- SEM
BILE is to a degree elegant. The squadron
considered it a fit present for the Prince
Regent, but who, from etiquette, declines
accepting it. 1t now lies along side the
Belle Poule, and will be brought into the
Dock Yard on Monday. 1t cost 5000 Ma
p~oleon's building it pulls 90 oars, and
rows remarkably swift. 1t is intended to
send it as a present to Louis the XVIII.
THE INQUIsITION.
One of the most interesting anecd otes re.
lating to the Inquisition, and which strik-
ingly proves that by the use of the diaboli-
cal engines of torture, men have confessed
crimes they have not been guilty Of, is one
related by a Portuguese gentleman.
A nobleman in Lisbon having heard that
his physician and friend was imprisoned by
the inquisition under the stale pretext Of
Judaism, addressed a letter to one of them
to request his freedom, assuring the inqui-
sitor that he was as orthodox a christian as
himself. The Physician notwithstanding
his high recommendation, was put to the
torture, and. as is usually the case, at the
height of his ~sufferings, confessed every
thing they wished. This enraged the no
bleman, and fsigning a dangerous ~illness,

FROM THE FRONTIER.

AT late hour last evening, we were po-
litely favored with the perusal of letter
from gentleman in plattsburgh, TO his
friend in this town, dated Friday morning,
April /. Its great length renders it inn
possible for Us to give any thing more than
hasty summary of its contents.
The important facts communicated, are,
that our army advanced into Odeltown ON
the 3oth ult. with the view of attacking the
enemy at La Cole Mill !; that having pro-
ceeded about two and half miles, il was
found they had mistaken the road TO Mon
treal for that to the mill that on wheeling
to regain the road they had missed, they
were attacked by picket of so regulars
and 100 militia, who were sheltered in
barn. They were soon dispersed by the
fire of piece of light artillery, with the
loss of one taken prisoner, and three do
serted Our loss was 20 killed and wound.
ed; among the latter. Ensign Parker
through the breast Majors Bernard and
Totten had their horses shot under them.
The army proceeded by cross road to
La Cole Mill, where they arrived between
three and four p. NJ. with the light artille.
ry and one l2 FOUNDER the lS's being pre-
vented coming up by the badness Of the
roads. The 10 FOUNDER was opened upon
the Mill, which sheltered the enemy. with
| some little effect; they made sally to take
it, but with loss. Capt M'pherson COM
manded the piece, and was wounded through
the neck and hip; the latter supposed to
! be mortal. After his fall, Lieut.. Sheldon.
ofthe heavy artillery, took the command
of the piece. He fought till every man a.
bout him was either killed, wounded or dri-
ven away, when he loaded and fired the
piece himself, discharging it uhe match be-.
ing gomez with the fash of a musket He
was soon supported by Infantry. The at.
tack continued until after sun. set, when no
impression being made on the Mill, re-
treat was ordered to Odletown-The beaI
Wy artillery arrived at Champlain that
night.
Our loss is computed at from 100 to $50
killed and wounded. No officer was killed
The wounded are Capt nj pherson, Lients.
Larrabee, and Green, of the artillery, En-
sign Parker, of the infantry, and Ensign
Carr, of the rifle corps.
] The writer of the letter. of which the
foregoing is brief summary, says he was
an eye witness to the facts therein stated
! I'VE have seen letter from gentleman
at Plattsburgh, in whom we have confidence
to bis friend in this city ALBANY, dated
| April A, which says the slirmish alluded
to above, took place on the 29th and 3oth

II APOLEON,

WILL stand this season on the subscri-
ber's farm, three and half miles from
Shepherds. town on the Winchester road,
and be let to mares at five dollars the sea
son, payable the lst of October next; nine
dollars for insurance; three doila rs cash the
single leap, if not paid at the time, to be
considered by the season F; the money for
insurance is to be paid as soon as the mares
are known to be with foal; parting with or
removing the mare, forfeits the insurance
money. The season has commenced, and
will end the LIST of July.
Napoleon is beautiful bright bay, eight
years old this spring, full sixteen hands
high, possesses fine bone and muscle, and
of just proportion his action is equal to
any horse in the country; he never appear
ed on the turf, having been raised and own
ed since he was three months old by gen
tieman who would never permit him to be
run, and was not permitted to cover until
he was three years old; the mares put to
him since, have produced excellent colts,
and it may be safely affirmed that few
horses in this country are better bread than
Napoleon, as will appear from the follow
ing
PEDIGREE.
Napoleon was got by the famous running
horse Punch, imported by Mr.. Power of
Virginia Punch was owned by the Prince
of Wales, and was sold at his great sale of
running horses to sir John Lade; Punch
was got by Old King Herod, his dam by
Mask the sire of Old Eclipse, his grand
dam by Cullan's Arabian Punch was a
mongst the first running horses in England,
as the racing calender will shew.-Napo-
Icons dam was the full. bred mare Siniea,
she was got by Mark Anthony, imported
by Col. Platter of Maryland; Mark Antho-
ny was owned by the Duke of Buckingham.
and his performance on the turf is well
known Sinica's dam was got by the fa-
nous imported horse Venitian, kept on the
Eastern shore of Slaryand-so that Napo
leon, by his dam. as well as by bis sire,
is of the first blood of running horses in
England. a

E1tract Of a letter from an oTc

Ertract ola letter from an officer ofthe
army TO the Editor Of the Aibany
Register, dated at Odletown, (Louer
Canada) March 3lst, 1914.
To record the events of battles, is task
which none but the most accomplished his
torian or the most experienced soldier can
with justice perform; but have always
thought it praiseworthy and honorable to
pay the homage of respect to individual
bravery, and emblazon To the world the
yalor and firmness displayed by troops ex-
posed 10 hardships and to dangers.
Yesterday morning Major General wiki
inson left Champlain, at the head of his
division, and arrived here about one o'clock,
r M.-The first object of this movement
understand was the reduction of the e.
nemy's fortress at the river La Cole, aoout
miles distant from this place.
After the troops had halted here few
minutes to refresh themselves, we proceed
ed up the road, when. our Advance. under
Col. Clark and Major Forsyth, was at
tackled by strong force of the enesny.---
General Blssell was ordered to support
that point of the action which he did with
spirit, and the enemy we're compelled to
retjse with Maj, Gen. Wilkinson
was at this time on the field of action, ex-
posed 10 the fire ofthe enemy, and display
ed that characteristic fortitude and firmness.
which are SO peculiar to himself in days OF
peril and tribulation. We had also the
pleasure of witnessing the ineAicacy of the
Congreve rockets. several of which vera
thrown by the enemy in and about our
column, exploded and proved az harmless as
the smoke which issued from them. But
permit me, sir, tossaggest. that this ives q
