NEW-YORK, December 21
By the Dick, from Bordeaux, we have French papers to the 4th ult. They contain the French Bulletins to No. 23, the last of which is dated at Moscow Oct. 9. It states that the advanced guards of the Grand Army was posted 25 leagues from Moscow; that the Russian Army was quartered upon Kolougs; that skirmishes took place daily, in which French (of course)were victorious; that the Duke of Eichmgen, with his division, was at Boghorodock; and that Murat's division was at Troitsa. It also states, that the able Russion General Prince Bagration had died of his wounds; and that the inhabitants of Moscow were returning to their homes, and that Napoleon was in good health, and was doing all he could, to make them comfortable.
On this news the Evening Post observes, "It will be recollected, that Bonaparte entered Moscow on the 15th of September; from the above mentioned Bulletiin it appears, that on the 9th of October he remained in the same situation, having done nothing more towards theconquest of Russia. This is certainly against him; and if he is obliged to remain there through the winter, although he may be in "good health" he will be indisposed before spring.
WE learn, verbally, that Massena was still at Bayorpe, waiting for reinforments; and the French troops in Spain and Portugal were suffering from the necessaties of life.
It was reported in France, that the Emperor had sent for Mr. Barlow to meet him at Wilna.
Mr. Barlow had left Paris for Wilna, where Bonaparte was to meet him.
 
TRANSLATIONS
In the followning translations from Paris papers, received at the Office of this Gazette, it appears by a publication from the Police Office, that a conspiracy had been discovered at Paris, and that three French Generals had been arrested for propagating among the National guard a report of the death of the Emperor. One of the three Generals is said to have been in habits of intimacty with Gen. Moreau; and that Madam Moreau, who had lately arrived in Paris from N. York, had been ordered to be confined to her lodgings.
 
TWENTY-THIRD BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY
Moscow, 9th October 1812
The van-guards, commanded by the King of Naples is on the Nara 20 leagues from Moscow. The enemy's army is on the Kalouga, skirmishes take place every day. The king of Naples has had the advantage in every one of them, and has always driven the enemy from its positions.
The Cossacks are rambling on our flamks. A patrole of 150 dragoons of the guard commanded by Major Marthod has fallen into an ambuscade of the Cossucks on the road between Moscow and kalouga. The drogoons have sbred 300 of them, and made their way through; but they lost 20 men left on the field of battle, who have been taken among whome is the Major badly wounded.
The Duke of Elchingen is at Beghorodock. The van-guard of the vice-roy at Troisa on the road to Dunitrow.
The colors taken by the Russians from the Turks in different wars, and a number of  other curious things found in the Kremlin, are on their way to Paris. A Virgin-Mary, enriched with diamonds, has been found. It has also been sent to Paris.
It appears that Rastopchin has ahenated himself. At Voronovo he set fire to his Castle, and left in its place the following writing nailed up to a post.
"During 8 years I have improved this country residence, and lived happy within it in the bosom fo my family. The inhabitants of this land to the number of 1720 abondon it at your approach (1) and I set fire to my house in order that it may not be defiled by your presence--Frenchmen, I have forsaken my two houses in Moscow, with movables to the amount of one million of roubles. Here you will find nothing but ashes."
(Signed) Count Fedor Rastopchin.
This 29th of Sept. 1812, at Voronovo.
The palace of Prince Kourakin is on of those we have succeeded in saving from the fire. Gen Count Naneonti has taken his abode in it.
With much labour we have succeeded in drawing out of the hospitals and burnt houses a part of the Russian sick. There still remain about 4000 of these unfortunate wretches. The number of those who have perished in the conflagration is very considerable.
For these eight days past the sun has shone; and it is warmer than in Paris at this season of the year. We scarcely percieve being in the North.
The duke of Reggio, who is at Wilna, has entirely recovered.
The enemy's general in chief, Bargration, has died of the wounds which he received at the battle of Moskwa.
The russian army disown the conflagration of Moscow. The authors of this most wicked attempt are held in execration by the Russians. They behold Rastopchin as a species of Marat. He may have found consolation in the society of the English commissary Wilson.
The staff is busily employed in causing the particulars of the combat of Smolensk and of the battle of Moskwa to be printed: it will point out those who have distinguished themselves.
The Kremlin has just been strengthened with 30 pieces of cannon, &c. It forms a fortress. The ovens and magazines are established within it.
[At the end of the Bulletin is an offical account of the state of Moscow from 1st January to 1st June 1812, signed by the Russian Governour of the police --It makes the total population of Moscow amount to 198,914, of which there were 5,100 Priests, 9,300 Nobles, 3,190 Soldiers, 19,000 Merchants, 18,000 of the middle rank, 47,000 Slaves and 96,400 of other classes.]
(1)They have returned.
(2) In effect he sat fire himself to his Country-house, but his example found no imitators--all the houses in the neighbourhood of Moscow remain entire.
 
December 23
Latest from England
By the ship George Washington, arrived at Philadelphia, the editors of the New-York Gazette have recieved their files of London papers to the 29th of October inclusive, and have made such extracts from them as appear most interesting.
In the London Courier of the 28th of October, we find the Prince Regent's Proclamation, dated the 25th, declaring alt English sailors found on board American vessels fighting against their native country, or giving aid or comfort to the enemies of H. B. M. subjects, Traitors and "liable to suffer the pains of death." The same paper contains a Proclamation for the distribution of prizes during the war.
Preparations were makeing at Portsmouth for the accommodation of the Russian fleet, which was to be sent there for safety.
Fifty thousand stand of arms from England had arrived at St. Petersburg, a large additional supply was on its way there; and, says the Courier, 80,000 there are going.
It will appear from our extracts, that the French army in the North, was in an aukward predicament. The report of the death of the gallant Prince Bagradtion, is confirmed.
The news from Spain and Portugal by this arrival, is not so late as our former advices, direct.
The ministrerial party in England has been completely successful at the late elections in England, and it seemed to be determined to prosecute the war against theis country with all possible vigour. -- On this subject the Courier, a ministerial paper, breaks out in the following bitter, and groundless expressions:
"Such are the blessings of this democratic government-formidable only to its own citizens, feeble against a foreign enemy.
"Merchantmen rotting in the Americans ports: merchants either ruined, or suspending all commercial operations; a third of the houses in the large towns untenanted; faction at its height; the cbinet encouraging dissentions amoung the democrats and federalists; no unity of action; no co-operation between the government and the people; meetings in all the towns against the war; the negroes rising in some parts, and apprehensions of similar rising in others.--Such is the picture, not exaggerated, not overcharged, of the United States, one and indivisible; and such are the first consequences of the unnatural war into which they have entered at the instigation of France."
The price of bread in England was raised one penny, and the making of starch from corn is prohibited. The brewers are ordered to use sugar instead of grain in brewing. Wheat is quoted at 132 to  140; barley 55 to 56; flour 105 to 110.

LONDON, October 27.
The advices received last night by the Gottenburg mail, five a very favorable account of the state of things in Russia. Bonaparte, it appears, is confined to the ruins and the immediate viciniity of Moscow, surrounded on every side by Russian armies, which are daily increasing in strength and cinfidence, and alreading acting on the offensive, driving back the enemy's corps upon the ashes and ruins of the burned capitol whenever they attempt to open a passage or to effect an escape. The Russian Generals appear to have drawn a circle round the site of Moscow, and to be closing upon the French quarters in that position, from all the great roads round. Kutusow, Tormosow, Winzingerode, and Wittgenstein, each at the hed of a formidalble army, occupy the principal posts in as many distinct lines, cutting off supplies, resources and communications, preventing advances, repelling excursions, and retraining expeditions. Under these circumstances Bonaparte awaits the commencement of the Russian winter in his quarters at Moscow. We are anxious to learn how Bonaparte and his soldiers will bear the visitation of this new and hitherto unknown enemy.
It is confidently stated, that the Emperor Alexander, as a further proof of his firmness and fidelity to the common cause, has resolved to send over to this courntry all his sips and vessels fo war. Theis measure must be considered,however, not only as proof of His Imperial Majesty's attachment to us, and ofhis persevering resolution to resist Bonaparte, but also as a tacit acknowledgment of an apprehension that the French army succeed in obtaining possession of the Russian ports in the Baltic. His Imperial Majesty is resolved that in such an event, those ports shall be found as naked and as as unfurnished with military means and resouces as Moscow-- These inferences are cinfirmed by accounts of the removal of the most valuable property, public and private, from  Petersburg and the neighbouring cities to the more remote and inaccessible places in the interior.
Despatches were received by his Majestry's ministers last night from Lord Cathcart, at St. Petersburg, brought by the packet which conveyed from Gottenburg the mail that has furnished the articles given in this paper. The following abstract of Lord Cathcart's despatches has been published from Downing-street.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN
"Despatches have been received from St. Petersburg, dated the 4th inst.
"The reports from Prince Kutusow, of the 22d September, state that the army was on the Culurgena raod, towards Toula, kalouga, Otel and with a strong party on the Majaisk road. On the 19th he sent Gen. Floraiski, with the 11th division of Cossacks, and the Mere Polski hussars to watch the enemy, who discovered four regiments of cavalry in the village Saumenska, and made prisoners 480 men, 16 officers, and 40 petty officers, leaving great numbers dead on the field. On the 21st and 22d September, the Russian parties, brough in 500 prisoners. On the 23d, the day he writes, he had sent Gen. Dorocoff on the Majaisk road, who reports having taken 6 officers, and 200 men. In the meanwhile, Lieut. Col. Davidoff, whith 50 light cavalry, had been active in cutting off the enemy's communications between Gjaick and Mojaisk.
"And Adjutant General Winzingerode, was active in the Majaisk, the Twer and Jasvierlaff roads. The abstract of Gen. Dorcoff's report is just recieve:-- He states, that having sent Capt. Udina on the Mojaisk road, he had taken 2 captains, 5 officers and 92 men, with 36 waggons of artillery stores.
"Other accounts state, that in successful affairs of parties, 20 large waggons with artillery stores, and 300 men had been taken.
"In addition this official entelligence there are private accounts of the 4th from Petersburg, which state that Winzingerode had had a brilliant affair with Murat's cavalry, and had taken 2 guns and 3000 men prisoners."
 

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 2d Oct. contains as follows: "The emperor's manifesto has had a magic influence on all classes - every one takes up their arms and marches off, and this they do voluntarily; and although we have the best hopes of a happy result, yet preparations are making to meet the worst that may happen, and I bleieve, should Napoleon get possession of St. Petersburg (which God prevent) he will not there by be a greater gainer than he was by nothing but mere articles of household furniture. All the inhabitants had left the place-all merchant goods were long before sent away, and there was nothing more left him to take.
 
REPORT
From Gen. Baron Winzingerode, dated
Town of Dawrdowka, Sept 28
"Without giving up the road to Twer I, with the greater part of my detachment, have taken post here at Dawrdowka, certain of my here being able more easily and more frequently to receive reports from my vanguard, as well from the detachments which I have upon the roads from Wladimir, Jaroslow, Dmitrien, to Woskusinsk, and in the low lands about Mojaisk. All the detachments daily continue to do the enemy considerable damage, which we can perceive by the following motions made by the enemy.
"The detachment which is posted on the road toTwer, has informed, that on the 25th it made a reconnoisance to the town of Norve, 24 wests from Moscow but afterwards withdrew. Our Cossack patrole even scour the country as far as the town of Jevanowa, towards Moscow. The French Piquets are five wersts from me. Up to the 27th, nothing further had taken place on that road, neither has any thing occurred on the road of Jaroslaw and Dmitrien. The advanced posts maintain their former positions, as likewise the road to St. Petersburg. Colonel Jalowarsky, who commands my van-guard, had required my assistance to surprise the French van-guard on the night of the 25th. He attacked it in the town of Hinks, cut the greater part to pieces, and pursued the enemy several wersts. We have taken 1 officer and 570 men. The enemy's loss in killed must have been very considerable, where as our side it was very trifling.
 
Exclusive of this official report, we have later accounts, which state that a Russian detachment had entered Smoiensko, and there captured a considerable quantity of winter clothing, which had been intended for the French army. A large quantity of gun powder had been taken in the vicinity of Mojaisk.
Prince Kutusow had posted himself five wests from Moscow, and has cut off all communication with that city. Very bloddy actions have taken place for four successive days, during which the king of Naples endeavoured to push forward to Mojaisk with his cavalry, but was continually repulsed, and obliged to throw himself into Moscow.
 
Extract of a Letter from St. Petersburg, dated October 2.
"Gen. Winzingerode stands i the road to Moscow, near Twer, with a corps of aobut 30,000 men. Kutusow is to the southward of Moscow-- It is endeavoured to close Bonaparte in, so that he can enither receive supplies nor troops, and will be forced to cut his way out from Moscow. In one word, we entertain the best hopes, but use prudential methods as if all hopes were lost -- which is most assuredly the best way.
"the left wing of Prince Kutusow's army has defeated a lesser corps of the French army, and taken two pieces of cannon, and 3 or 4,000 men. The garrison of Boorinsk, which had recieved orders to march to Tosmasoff's corps, had taken 7 pieces of cannon and 1,500 men, from the French detachment. Techetschagoff's and Tormasoff's joint force has already arrived at Pinsk, and consequently harrass Napolean's great line of open ration. This joint corps is now marching on Smolensko. Gen. Winzingerode's right wing, which stands at Workusinsk, began to join itself with Kutusow's left wing, being at Mojaisk, by which the communication in the rear of the French army is cut off. French troops arrived at Riga on the 22d of September. They have commenced their operations with defeating the enemy, and taken 800 prisoners. We every moment expect information of the enemy's corps being totally defeated. He has been weakened on this point by Napoleon's haveing called Marshal macdonald from thence to his assistance.
"French officers, who were taken prisoners in the battle of the 7th state that the French army was in the greatest disorder, and that it was merely through the superiour talent sof the Duke of Elchingen that the army was rallied ____ to the affair.

THE MERCHANTS' BONDS
 
By the 4th section of the law of Congress, passed on the 1st of May, 1810, commonly called the non-importation law, it is declared ---
 
"That in ease either Great Britain or France shall before the third day of March next, so revoke or modify her edicts as that they shall cease to violate the neutral commerce of the United States, shall declare by proclamation, and if the other nation shall not within three months thereafter revoke or modify her edicts in like manner, then the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, thenth, and eithgteenth sections fo the act entitled" An act to interdict the commercial intercourse betweent he United States and Great Britain and France and their dependencies, and for other purposes, "shall from and after the expirations of three months fromt he date of the proclamation aforesaid, be revived and have full force and effect, so far as relate to the dominions, colonies and dependencies of the nation thus refusing or neglecting to revoke or modify her edicts in the manner aforesaid. And the restrictions imposed by this act shall, from the date of such proclamation, cease and be discontinued in relation to the nation revoking or modifying her decrees in the manner aforesaid."
 
By the expression -- "which fact the President shall declare by proclamation" - Congress undoubtedly meant, that he President should in a public manner, in his official copacity, give notice to the nation, that such revocation had taken place. The "edicts" here alluded to, were the British Orders in Council of January, and November, 1807.  At that time, the blocading Order of May, 1806, was not considereed by the Administration as belonging to the number of those edicts which violated our neutral commerce. However, for the present purpose, it is of no importance whether it be excluded or included. On the 23d of June, 1812, the British Orders in Council, involving the blockadingOrders complained of, were formally revoked, leaving no edict of theirs in existence which violated our neutral rights. The fact then of the revocation of the British edicts, contemplated by the law of Congress, has actually taken place; and the merchants ought, on the plainest principles of justice, to be subjected to no penalties. A question however, arises-has the President made his proclamation? By saying, that the President should decalre the fact of revocation, Congress gave no form of proclamation. Nothing more could be meant, than that he should, by a public declaration, proclaim that is publish-give notice, to the nation such revocation and its fact taken place. The word Proclamation, altho in great use in this country, has no technical meaning. In the Message at the opening of the present session of Congress-the most solemn, & important declaration, & proclamation which is ever made, of the state of our national affairs-the President says-"ALTHOUGH A REPEAL OF THE ORDERS (alluding directly to the Orders in Council) SUSCEPTIBLE OF EXPLANATIONS MEETING THE VIEWS OF THIS GOVERNMENT, HAD TAKEN PLACE BEFORE THIS PACIFIC ADVANCE WAS COMMUNICATED TO THAT OF GREAT GRITAIN, the advance was declined, from an avowed repugnance to a suspension of the practise of impressments during the armistice, and without any intimadon that the arrangement would be accepted." here is in terms, from the President's own mouth, a declaration proclaimed to the representatives of the people, and through them to the nation at large, that the Brittish edicts violating our neurtral rights have been revoked - this proclamation is dated the 4th day of Nov. 1812 - of course the restrictions imposed by the non importation act, mest from the day cease and be discontinued, with respect to the goods imported from Great Britain - and as necessary consequence of the whole, the merchants have a complete defiance, at law, against any attempt to enforce the collection of their Bonds. We trust, then, they will reject all the attempts that Mr. Gallatin may make, to force a loan from them, and place themselves, if called to it, upon the integrity and independence of the courts, and the laws of their country.
 
THE WAR AND ITS OBJECTS
In the last Mirror, we stated briefly the "account current" of the first six months of the war. If we are not mistaken, the footing shews a balance much against us. It woud seem, however, nothwithstanding the disasters we have already experienced, the disgrace we have been called to bear, and the miserable prospect of doing better in future, that Mr. Madison, flushed with his own success in the election, and bent on  his own, as well as his country's ruin, is resolved on the prosectuion of hostilities; unless, indeed, he is best off from his pernicous purpose, by the astonishing change of sentiment which a large portion of the nation has undergone since war ws declared.
The sole avowed object of the war, is-to force Great Britain to abandon the irght of searching neutral merchant vessels for her own subjects. We have often stated, what our Administration well know to be the fact, that Great Britain will never yield this right, until reduced to such distress that she cannot avoid it. That is - she will never abondon it, until ___  __ ___ sacrifice that , to preserve her independense. The only means that we possess, to enable us to force her to this sacrafice, is the withholding from her our t__. For, though we have captured the Guerriere, the Frolic, and the macedonian, yet we do not believe that our Administration weak, vain, vapouring, and swaggering as they are, are yet silly enough to imagine, that these successes have made any solid impression on the Brittish navy. The British have, indeed, learned, that we have brave and silful seamen, and that it is more difficult to conquer one f our frigates, than they supposed; and that, in order to answer their purposes, they must send more and larger ships than they have heretofore considered necessary. This they can do; and if the war is continued, this they undoubtedly will do. As for the military operations on land, we have lost as much character by them, to say the least on the subject, as we have gained on the water. Our mode of reducing Great Britain, then, must be - by withholding our trade-or in other words, through the meduim of Bonaparte's Continental System, to which we have long been a real party.
We will attempt to shew the effiency of our means to accoplish this end. The trade which Great Braitin carries on is not exclusively with this country. This remark is made merely because it would seem as if our Statesmen from the Forest supposed, that our trade is essential to the very existence of that nation. The following extract from a Report, made by Lord Sheffield, at the meeting of Lewes Wool Fair on the 27th of July, 1812, will shew some interesting facts on this subject.
"The real value of the exports from Great Britain to the American States, previously to the American Non-importation and and Embargo Laws, and to the Brittish Orders in Council- Average of three years, ending 1807 inclusive 12,136,811 pounds       And to all other parts of America, including the British and Foreign West Indies  10,599,514 pounds. Total for the whole of America 22,736,325 pounds.
"The real value of the exports from Great Britain to the American States, average of four years ending 1811 inclusive, during which period the British Orders in Council and American Non-importation and Embargo Laws were in operations  6,464,059 pounds        And to all other parts of America, including the British and Foreign West Indies 17,133,553 pounds   Making for a total for the whole of America 23,597,612 pounds.
"In the latter period, therefore, the deficiency in the direct exports to the American States was more than compensated by an increased exportation to other parts of America; mentioned period, the goods exported from hence in American vessels were by no means consumption of those States, but that a large proportion of them must have been conveyed by the Americans to the West Indies and South America; which we have ourselves since supplied directly in British ships; and that an equivalent proportion fo the exports to the British North American Colonies and the West Indies, must, in the latter period, have indirectly found their way into the American States to make up the deficiency in the direct inportation there."
 
Here we are presented with the important fact, that though the exports from that nation to the United States were reduced during the existence of our restrictive system, yet the trade was turned to different channels in other parts of America, & that the average amount of exports for four years, ending in 1811, excceded the average amount for the four years preceding, ending in 1807. Here, then, is the practical proof of the efficacy of that ridiculous system of policy, which the "illustrious Jefferson" envented, to subserve, under a nick name, Bonaparte's "Continental system." And yet, the Foresters in Congress, are every day declaring, that the true mode of subduing Great Britain, is - by withholding our trade.
But a more interesting enquiry remains to be made on this important subject. What probability is there, that the loss even of all the trade with this country, if it were in our power to terms of submission? We are much habituated, in this country, to talking of the nation, as if she were o the brink of ruin from her own internal distresses, that, with those which are external, she is tottering to her fall; and that, if we only add our weight to the preponderating scale, her fate is inevitable. This unfounded and ridiculous idea, comes to us from a source, to which we are indebted fro a large proportion of the evils which we expercience in our political affairs-viz. from a foreign corps of ignorant, unprincipled desperadoes, who, from having been suffered to interfere in our public concerns, have become our teachers, and our oracles. If individuals suffer themselves to be inposed upon from this quarter, it is insumbent on the nation, and particularly its legislature, to ground their faith upon a different basis. Great Britain never was as powerful as at this moment. We argue this, in the first place, from her capacity to raise money- and in the second, from her ability to resist the attempts that have been made, and are still making to destroy her.
1. From her capacity to raise money  It will be recollected by our readers, that a few weeks since, we stated, that Great Britain raised in the year 1811, a revenue more than double the amount of all the sums which had been raised for the same purpose in the United States since the establishment of our government. We will now go a little more into particulars. By a return made to the House of Commons, it appears that the following sums were raised for the service of the United Kingdom, for the following years ending the 1st January each year viz.
1802 --78,441,000           
1803 --73,546,000
1804 --58,500,000
1805 --68,893,000
1806 --84,823,000
1807 --84,226,000
1808 --88,895,000
1809 --94,747,000
1810 --97,203,000
1811 --99,109,000
1812 -103,718,000
Making in the whole in elelven years ....... 934,101,000 pounds sterling - that is, four thousand one hundred and fifty one million, five hundred and sixty thousand dollars.
Now, any man, or number of men, may clamour till they are weary, about the immeasurable size of the Brittish national debt; here is demonstration, that they have raised more money, by some hundred millions of pounds, sterling, in the short space of eleven years, than would pay the whole of their debt. Is it not, then, worse than childish to pretend, that by depriving them of an export trade of twelve or even fifteen millions sterling, if it were in our power to do it, we should break down the power of that nation, and force her to yield a point which she considers not only essential to her independence, but to her very existence. But even this niserable end, we have shewn, it is not in our powerto accomplish; for when we cut off our trade, they find other parts of the continent where it is received, to an equal amount.
2. Let us now for amoment, enquire, -what ability Great Britain possesses to resist the attempts that are making, or may be made to destroy her. A pretty fair experiment has been made for ten years past, by the only power on the globe that had any reasonable expectation of success. His efforts have indeed been astonishing; and almost every other evil, besides the destruction of Great Britain, has been brought by them upon the human race. Every nation in Europe has been dragged into the contest-almost every nation in Europe has been subjugated and enslaved, merely for the purpose of enabling the shocking monster of iniquity, whose mad ambition, and diabolical tempts, to destroy Great Britain. The royal family of Portugal have been driven into exile from their European dominions-the Pope has been degraded and inprinsoned-the monarchs of Naples, Spain, Prussia, and Sweden, have been dethroned-the King of Denmark, the Emperours of Germany and Russia, have been reduced to a state of vassalage-Holland, and a large part of Europe besides, has been annexed to France-sovereighnties have been changed and transferred like beasts in the stall-Kings have been created and uncreated-millions and tens of millions of lives have been butchered-deerecs of the most tyramnical and sanguinary nature have been established and enforced in the most rigorous and cruel manner-every art, and every base and vinditcive passion has been enlisted into the contest-and all for the purpose of destroying Great Britain-for nearly five years past, a most bloddy and exterminating war has been carrying on in Spain and Portugal-at this moment the whole christian world is in arms, and the terrible cause of all the misery is at an immense distance from the throne which he has usurped, and the empire which he has enslaved and bound in fetters of brass, for the purpose of adding one more nation to the long catalogue of his vassels; the strife is tremendous, the slaughter immense; and the contest is distinguished by every mark of vengeance and destperation- and all for the purpose of destroying Great Britain-and yet, Great Britain, stands unshaken and unawed-a monument of power and vigour, the most extraordinary that the sons of men ever witnessed.
When this power is reduced to low as to traffic for its existence, then and not till then, may our Administration expect to find them yield a point essential to their being. This view of the subject will enable us to calculate, with some degree of certainty, the fate of our war. Are we able to successfully to maintain a contest, which the mighty force of France, with the aid of all continental Europe, has hitherto proved incompetent to bring to a successful issue? Suppose what, indeed, may be considered improbably, but which is not impossible, that Bonaparte should prove unsuccessful in Russia, in what plight shall we stand with our adversary? However Mr. Madisonmay deceive a portion of the people of this country with regard to the real object of the war, the British nation, and particularly the British government, are not so easily duped. They know that it is intended to co-operate with Bonaparte in accomplishing their over throw. Should he succeed in humbling Russia, we may perhaps expect to obtain from them as favorable terms as have already been offered. Should he fail, the consequences to us are very apparent. Ouor government will be under the necessity of negociating without delay-but we imagine the negociation will be attended with pretty serious disadvantages.
 
We are much gratified to learn, that the legislature of New Hampshire have adjourned, without choosing a Senator to supply the place of the war monger, Cutts. Although there was a demoncratic majority in both houses, there were some of them honest and partiotic enough not to lend their aid in support of the most unnecessary and disgraceful war that was ever entered into. In the senate of that State, the appointment of Cutts was arrrested by the firm and resolute conduct of the Hon. Josiah Sanlony, who is entitled to the thanks of the nation for his integrity and public spirit. The legislature does not meet again until after another Election, when, we trust, the enlightened people of that State will convince his Excellency, Gov. Plumer, that they require some stronger precedent to justify the war, than the case of the Jew and his Concubine.

COMMUNITCATIONS
On Thursday the 24th inst. in pursuance of an order from His Honour Lieut. Gov. Smith, directed to General Charles Jencks, the associate company of Volunteers in the first parish in the Town of Windsor were led to the choice of Officers, when the following persons were chosen to the offices respectively set to their names, viz: Col. Oliver Mather, Captain; Col. Job Allen, Lieutenant; Capt. Martin Dinslow, Engsign; Lieut. Ezra Hayden, Lieut. Gideon Barer, Capt. George Belden, and Ensign George Warner, Sergeants; Ensign David Dexter, Lieut. Jonathan Loomis, Lieut. Levi Hayden, jr. and Ensign Allyn M. Mather, Corporals.
 
On Thursday the 12th of November, in purssuance of an order from His Excellency the late Governour Griswold, directed to Col. Willliam Cogswell, the company of State volunteers, composed of military exempts in the town of Warren, (a town containing less than one hundred freeman) consisting of sixty abled-bodied effective men, whereled to a choice of officers. The company made choice of Nathaniel Swift Esq. Captain (a man conspicuious in the ranks of patriotism in our glorious struggle for freedom and independence); Ebenezer Tanner, Esq. Lieutenant; and Lieut Homer Sackett, Ensign- Capt. Abner Everit Lieut. Amos Fowler, Judah Eldred, and Reuben Beach, were chosen Sergeants; and Piatt Starr Esq. Capt. Isaac Sturtevant, Augustine Curtiss, and Salmon Brunson, Corporals. The cheerfulness with which the company volunteered their services, evinced an ardent desire to be enrolled among the protectors and deffenders of our invaluable constitution. Their appearance was truly impressive, and furnished strong grounded of expectation that the privileges we have acquired, by the sacrifices of much blood and treasure, will never be surrendered until every hand is cold upon the musket.
 
LITCHFIELD, Dec. 19.
On the evening of the 15th inst. a number of young men belonging to Mr. Morris's school in Litchfield, were amusing themselves with skating on the great Pond, so called, in said town, when two of them near together in full speed on their skates, run into a glade in the pond where the water was about twelve feet deep, and were both drowned. Their names were William H. Bennett, of South Carolina, and William Ensign, a son of Mr. Isaac Ensign of Litchfield. By great exertions their bodies were taken out of the water in about one hour. Every effort was made to resuscitate them, but in vain. On the 18th inst. their bodies were committed to the grave-a great concourse of people assembled on the occasion. A sermon was preached by the Rev. Zephaniah Swift, from Eccl. xiir. l. "Remember they Creator in the days of they youth" After the sermon, the Rev. Lyman Beecher made a very solemn and pathetic address, well adapted to theo ccasion. Youth are herby warned not to rashly venture on ice for their amusement.   Con. Herald.

BUFFALO, Dec. 8.
To the Editor of the Buffalo Gazette
Sir--A friend has just handed me the proof sheet of your paper of this morning, in which is contained what purports to be, Gen. Smyth's official account of the affairs of the 28th of Nov. and 1st of December.
I beg that you will suspend in publication so long as to assure the public that in your next, I will give a true account of some of the most prominent transactions of those days.
When our lives, our property: when the precious and dear bought gift of our ancestors--the sacred honour of our contry:  When every thing that we prize as men, or ought to hold dear as patriots are falling and fading before us, it is time to speak out, what ever be the hazard.
In ascribing, as I shall not hesitate to do, the late disgrace of Gen. Smyth, I beg to be understood as not intending to implicate the characters of the officers whose opinoiins he has brought forward to bolster up his conduct. Several of them I know to be as brave men as ever wielded a sword; and their advice, if indeed they gave the advice imputed to them, may be accoutned for in the abvious consideration, with which everyone who saw him must have been impressed, that any military attempt under such a leader must, in allhuman probablility, prove disgraceful.
Your very humble servant,
PETER B PORTER
 
The following is a letter from Malta; "I have to acquaint you of a phenomenon which has appeared at Demascus, in Syria, in April last. A pillar of fire of an immense light, was seen towards the east, and remained in view three days and three nights: during which time no sun, moon or stars were seen, yet the light was sufficient for seeing any object. This has given rise to many conjectures among learned men in the place. The Nile has risen two months before the usual time." --London paper.
 
It is confidently rumored, that the Rev'd Mr. Mendola, the Portuguese rabbi, received a letter a few days since from the rabbis of jerusalem, informing him that there had been no darkness in the sacred city for three days and three nights, iin consequence of a cloud of fire which rested on a tree in the vicinity, and that the thrid day it vanished to the general consternation of all the inhabitants. The tree it is obsered, was not damaged by the miraculous and awful event. We are confidently assured, by very serious authorities that no doubt exists amoung the children of Isarael in this metropolis as to the very of this extrarodinary communication.   Morning Herald
