CONTINENTAL WAR.Concluded from p. 1 64.) Thirty-fourth Bulletin of the Grand French Army. nels Lacour, of the 5th regiment of dragoons, 'Brunn, December 10.- -The Emperor to-day received Prince Repnin, who was taken prisoner at Austerlitz, at the head of the horse guards, of which he was the colonel. His Majesty said to him, that the Emperor Alexander should not be deprived of such brave men, and that he, with all the guards, were at liberty to return to Russia. -Prince John of Lichtenstein arrived here yesterday, with full powers: the conferences between him and the Minister Talleyrand are in full course. The first Adjutant, Junot, whom his Majesty had sent to the Emperors of Germany and Russia, has seen the Emperor of Germany at Hollitsch, who received him with the utmost favour and distinction. He had not been able to complete his mission, as the Emperor Alexander and General Kutusow, had already set out for St. Petersburgh.-His Majesty received at Brunn the Prussian Minister, Haugwitz. He was extremely satisfied with all that this plenipotentiary said to him, and received him in the most distinguished manner. He has by his councils increased the esteem and welfare of Prussia. No intrigues will be able to effect any thing against the good disposition and true wisdom of Prussia. The French nation, besides, does not depend on a single man; and one hundred and fifty thousand more enemies would only serve to Thirty-sixth Bulletin of the Grand French prolong the war. France and Russia, in the present, circumstances, can never sufficiently praise the Duke of Brunswick, M. M., Mollensdorff, Knoblesdorf, Lombard, and especially the King himself. Russia never had a solid and disinterested friend but France. Thirty-Fifth Bulletin of the Grand Army. Brunn, Dec. 1.-The Russian army began its march on the 8th of December, to return to Russia, in three columns. The first took its way by Cracow and Therespol; the second by Caschau, Lemberg, and Brodi; and the third by Tyrnau, Baltska, and Ussiadin. The Emperor of Russia went at the head of the first column. Independent of the field artillery, the Russians lost a whole park of artillery of 100 pieces of cannon, with their ammunition waggons. The Emperor has since inspected this park, and has given orders that all these pieces should be sent to France. It is without example, that in a single battle from 150 to 160 pieces of cannon should be taken. All had been fired, and had rendered service in the action.―The Chef d'Escadron, Chapolin, Adjutant of Marshal Bernadotte, is killed. The Colo Army. Brunn, Dec. 14. The deeds of valour which have exalted the grand army, af ford matter for a collection of great interest. A carabineer of the 10th light infantry lost his arm by a shots Help me,' cried he to his comrade, to take off my cartridge-box, and hasten forward to avenge my loss; I want no other assistance.' The wounded man then hanging his accoutrements upon his left arm, proceeded alone to the hospital. General Thibaut was dangerously wounded: four Russians seized him, and were carrying him off; six wounded Frenchmen, having perceived them, drove the Russians off, and seized the wounded general, exclaiming, It is an honour belonging to us alone to carry a wounded French general.'-A part of General Valhubert's leg was carried away by a ball. Four soldiers approached to take him up: Mind the order of the day,' said be to them, with a voice like thunder, and join your ranks; return victors, and carry me off after the battle is ended; if you are beaten, my life will be only a burthen.' The loss of this general is the only one we have to lament; all the other wounded generals are in a state of convalescence.-The lake upon which a numerous corps of Russians bok refuge on the day the battle of Austerz was fought, has been drained; forty pieces of cannon, and a number of bodies, have been found. Yesterday the Emperor received the deputation. from the Mayors of Paris, presented by Prince Murat. The mayor of the 7th circle made a speech; the Emperor answered, That he saw the depu tation with pleasure; and that, notwithstanding he received them in the palace of Maria Theresa, still the day when he should again find himself in the midst of his good dizens of Paris, would be to him a real festhai. He said, he had had an opportunity ot a near view of the calamities of war, and, that from the view which presented itself, le was persuaded, that all the laws relative to the conscripts should be considered as the most wholesome and sacred, unless they wi hed to witness the devastation of their hatutions. He added, that he wished for peace, but such a peace as would secure the welfare of the French people. His Majesty then informed the deputies, of his intention present the colours taken in the battle, on the anniversary of his coronation, to the CaDetal of Paris; and that he meant to entrust these trophies in their hands, in order that they might be delivered to the Cardinal Archbishop. His Imperial Majesty has sent the following letter to the Cardinal Archbishop:My Father, We have taken from our eneforty-five stands of colours on the anniversary of our coronation; that day when the Holy Father, his Cardinals, and the Wale of the French Clergy, offered up their prayers for the welfare of our government in Church of Notre Dame. We have reHived a deposit these colours in this church, as the cathedral of our good city of Paris. We have ordered these colours to be presentei to you, that they may be preserved in your etropolitan church. It is also our inten, that the anniversary of our coronation every year, be celebrated by the pernce of a solemn act of devotion in our cathedral, in commemoration of the vaexhibited on that day, and of those who Led for their country in that important ac-This is to be followed by a thanksgiv❘ to the God of Armies, for the victory *ch he has been pleased to give us; and his letter has no other object in view, we God to take you into his holy keeping. Am our palace at Brunn. (Signed) NAPOLEON. From the Head-quarters at Schoenbrun, Dee. 25.His Majesty reviewed the divisions of the carabineers and cuirassiers of the Generals Hautpoult, and Nansouty, on the 223. His Majesty afterwards expressed h's satisfaction respecting the good condition of these brave regiments, who had given him such proofs of courage in the course of the campaign, and in the battle of Austerlitz in particular.On the following day, his Majesty reviewed the division of Van Damme, and ordered Marshal Soult to inform them, that he was satisfied in seeing them so numerous, and in such good condition, after the battle of Austerlitz, as they had there acquired so much glory, and essentially contributed to the success of the day. When he came to the first regiment of the line, who commenced that battle, and lost its standard, the Emperor said- Soldiers, what have you done with the Eagle I gave you? You had sworn it should serve you as a tallying point, and that you would defend it at the peril of your lives; why have you not fulfilled your promise?' The major answered, that the ensign being killed in a charge, when the battle was at the hottest, no person perceived the loss in the midst of the smoke; however, the division made a movement to the right; that the battalion had supported that movement, and that it was a long time before they were informed of the loss of their Eagle; and that the proof that they had stood firm and not been broken was, that, very soon after, they overthrew two Russian battalions, and took two stands of colours, with which they meant to do homage to the Emperor, hoping, by that means, to merit another Eagle.' The Emperor, after a short pause, said, officers and soldiers, swear that none of you were witnesses to the loss of your Eagle; and that, if you had seen it, you would have precipitated yourselves upon the enemy to retake it, or to have perished upon the spot; for a soldier who loses his colours, loses every thing? Instantly a thousand arms were lifted up; We swear it; and we swear also to defend the Eagle, you will give us, with the same intrepidity with which we captured the enemy's colours which we now present you.' In this case,' said the Emperor, smiling, I shall return you your Fagle.' Thirty-Seventh Bulletin of the Grand Army.

The army is in fidy cannot be pardoned.' The Queen of Naples has ceased to reign. This last crime. has completed her destiny; let her go to London to increase the number of intriguers, and form a sympathetic ink committee, with Drake, Spencer Smith, Taylor, and Wickham; she may also invite, if she please, Baron D'Armfeldt, M.

His Majesty will have an interview to-morrow with this Prince, at the hunting seat of Stamersdorff, three leagues from Vienna.The Emperor is to review, this day, the division of Legrand, near Luxemburgh. The Emperor takes no recreation at Vienna; he has given audience to very few. During some days, the weather has been rather cold; to day it is very fine.-The Emperor has made a great many promotions in the army, and the Legion of Honour; but the commissions which he has at his disposal are scarcely sufficient to recompence so many brave men.The Elector of Wirtemberg has sent to the Emperor, the Ribbon of the Grand Order of Wirtemberg, with three others, which have been conferred on the Senator Hanville, First Equerry to the Empress; to Marshal Kellerman, and General Marmont. The Emperor has presented the Grand Ribbon of 'the Legion of Honour to the Elector, the Electoral Prince, and Prince Paul, his sons; and to his brothers, Prince Eugene Frederick Henry, and William Frederick Philip.

Paris, Jan. 5, 1806.The brief notice of the signing of peace with Austria, transmitted the day before yesterday by the telegraph from Strasburgh, has not yet been followed by more particular advices. They may, however, be expected every instant, since a courier was dispatched from the headquarters of the Emperor Napoleon, on the eve of the conclusion of peace. This courier was the bearer of a new bulletin of the army of his Majesty, the contents of which, on many accounts, are extremely worthy of notice. The deputation of the tribunate, which brought to the capital the colours taken from the Austrians, are to carry, this day, to the Hotel de-Ville, the portion of these trophies intended for the Commune of Paris. Every arrangement has been made, for attending with a becoming pomp this procession of the deputies of the tribunes, and for rendering the inauguration of the colours, to be presented to the magistrates of Paris, as solemn as possible. The ceremony must derive an additional brilliancy from the joy diffused throughout the city by the peace which has been announced. The inauguration, on Wednesday last, of the colours sent to the senate, in presence of the public functionaries, gave rise to several speeches by the senators, and to the following decrees of that body Extract from the Register of the Conservative Senate. Wednesday, Jan. 1, 1806. The conservative senate, assembled to the number of members prescribed by the goth article of the constitution, after having, in a public sitting, received the colours taken from the enemy, to the number of fifty-four, 'brought this day to the senate by the tribunate in a body, conformable to the orders of the Emperor and King; deliberating on the proposals which have been made by several members, respecting the means of perpetuating the remembrance of the glorious events which have occurred in a two months' campaign; terminated by the battle of Austerlitz, decrees as follows:-Art. I. The conservative senate, in the name of the French people, consecrates a triumphal monument to Napoleon the Great. Art. 2. The senate, in a body, will proceed to meet his Imperial and Royal Majesty, and will offer him the homage of the admiration, the gratitude, and the love of the French people. The senate, in the saine sitting, deliberating on the proposition of one of its members, respecting the manner of testifying to [134 his Majesty the Emperor and King the gratitude of the senate, for the precious proof, that it has received of his Majesty's kindness, by the colours of which Le has made it a present, decrees as follows:--Art. 1. The letter of his Majesty the Emperor and King, dated Elchingen, October 18, in which his Majesty makes a present to the senate of forty stands of colours, taken by his army, shall be engraved on marble tablets to be placed in the hall of the sitting of the senate. Art. 2. At the conclusion of the letter, there shall be also engraved the following sentence. The Forty Colours, and Fourteen others since added to the First, by his Majesty, were brought to the Senate by the Tribunate, in a Body, and deposited in this Hall, on the 1st January, 1906.

WINTEMBERG AND FRANCE --Declaration DISPUTE WITH AMERICA-(Concluded from "Resolved, That the Secretary of "State be directed to lay before this House, "at the next meeting of Congress, such laws "of Great Britain as impose any higher or 66 greater duties on the exportation of goods, wares, and merchandize to the United "States, than are imposed on similar goods, wares, and merchandize, when exported "to the nations of Europe; and also to report the amount in sterling money of the exports to the United States from Great "Britain and Ireland, for the years 1802, "1803, and 1904, on which such duties "are charged. Resolved, That the Sccre "tary of the Treasury be directed to report to this House, at the next meeting of Congress, a statement, shewing the va "lue (agreeably to the prime cost), in sterling money, of Irish linens, and all other "manufactures of linen, or sail duck, nails, hats, looking-glasses, plated and glass wares, ribbons, silks of all kinds, printed "linen and cotton, and the quantity of Bri"tish salt and rum, imported into the "United States from Great Britain and "her dependencies, during the years 1802, 1803, and 1804; and also the value of "linens imported into the United States "from all other foreign nations."-During the ensuing session these reports will be made. Will they not furnish the materials for a just and honourable retaliation ?-So comparatively invulnerable are the United States with foreign powers, and so numerous are the weak points of the latter, that it is difficult to say what species of redress it becomes our government to take, in case remonstrance becomes unavailing. Such, however, is the existing state of our foreign relations, that we think the subjects to which we have alluded well worthy of the public attention; and, in order to throw light on them, we shall from time to time submit several interesting documents which time has, perhaps, thrown into too deep an oblivion. They will generally speak for themselves, without the aid of commentary. FOREIGN OFFICIAL PAPERS. AMERICA.- -Message of the President, to the Senate, and House of Representatives, of the United States of America. Dec. 3, 1805. At a moment when the nations of Eu rope are in commotion and arming against each other, when these with whom we have principal intercourse are engaged in the geberal contest, and when the countenance of some of thein towards our peaceable country threatens that even that may not be unaffected by what is passing on the general theatre, a meeting of the representatives of the nation in both houses of congress, has become more than usually desirable. Coming from every section of our country, they bring with them the sentiments and the information of the whole, and will be enabled to give a direction to the public affairs, which the will and the wisdom of the whole will approve and support.-In talting a view of the state of our country; we, in the first place, notice the late affliction of two of our Citics under the fatal fever, which in latter times has occasionally visited our shores. Providence in his goodness gave it an early termination on this occasion, and lessened the number of victims, which have usually fallen before it. In the course of the several visitations by this disease, it has appeared that it is strictly local, incident to cities and on the tide waters only; incommunicable in the country either by persons under the disease, or by goods carried from diseased places; than its access is with the autumn, and it disappears with the early frosts. These restrictions, within narrow limits of time. and space, give security even to our maritime cities, during three-fourths of the year, to the country always. Although from these facts it appears unnecessary; yet, to satisfy the fears of foreign nations, and cautions où their part not to be complained of in a dan ger whose limits are yet unknown to them, I have strictly enjoined on the officers at the head of the customs to certify with exact truth, for every vessel sailing for a foreign port, the state of health respecting this fever, which prevails at the place from which she sails; under every motive from ` character and duty to certify the truth, I have no doubt they have faithfully executed this injunction. Much real injury has, however, been sustained from a propensity to identify with this endemic, and to call by the same name, fevers of very different kinds. which have been known at all times, and in all countries, and never have been placed among those deemed contagious. advance in our knowledge of this disease, as facts develope the source from which individuals receive it, the state authorities charged with the care of the public health, and congress with that of the general coininerce, will become able to regulate with effect their respective functions in these depariments. The burthen of quarantines is felt at home as well as abroad, their efficacy merits examination. Although the health law of the states should be found to need no present revisal, by congress, yet commerce. claims that their attention should ever be awake to them.Since our last meeting, the aspect of our sovereign relations has cousiderably changed. Our coasts have been. infested, and our harbours watched by private armed vessels, some of them without commissions, some with illegal commissions, others with those of legal form, but committing piratical acts beyond the authority of their commissions. They have captured in the very entrance of our harbours, as well as on the high seas, not only the vessels of our friends coming to trade with us, but, our own ako. They have carried them off under pretence of legal adjudication, but not. daring to approach daring to approach a court of justice, they As we |
