hrjrtract of a letter from the duke dtigou*
lame, dated Barcelona, *1pril 18.
' * l have at last arrived here, having
done all that was ia my power to do j anu
shall now state to you, in a few words,
what has passed in the south. On the
30th of March, Amedce Descars repulsed
general Dcbellee before Montelimart; on
the 2d of April we completely beat the en
emy at the passage of the Drome-——-two
cannon, two colours and 800 prisoner?)
\vei e the fruits of the victory-^the posses,
bion of Valence, au well as of the course of
the Isere, wci e its results. On the 3d I
learned that ge:i, Ernnuf, abandoned by
tlie 38th regiment, had been obliged to re
trogade upon Sisteron, and that Mismes
ancf Montpelier had hoisted die signal of
rebellion,. I was spt*?dily informed that
gens. Grouchy anti Fire were inarching
froifc Lyons against rae, and tliat gen. Gil
"Iv was inarching from Nismes upon Pont
$♦. Espritl perceived that it was neces
sary to think of retreat. On the 6th t
learned, by the arrival of Mr. Ferdinand
Berihen, that all was over at Bordeaux
and Toulouse. Gen. Pire the some day
attempted the passage of the I sere, and
was repulsed.; The news from Nismes
and Montpelier bring disseminated among
our:-national guards, made us lose a part
of them* i quitted Valence at half past
ten at night. I bivouacked with the 10th
regiment, and afterwards marched for
Montelimart, where I arrived at four in
the afternoon sf the rth. The cnlonel of
the 14th, who had rejoined me the evening
before, informed ms that he was no longer
masterf,f his regiment, which in fact quit
ted me, and proceeded to Valence. It
had been proposed to me to depai t alone
from that town jthis I refused. The coun
try people who were ill disposed, were
operating much on the minds oftheregi
xnent of artillery, which from that time was
of no farther use. The proposal of depar
ture alone was renewed f I again refused !
it, aud sent gen. D’Aultar.ne to gen. Gilly
at Pont 8t. Esprit, to make a convention
with him for tberty to pass with niy corps,
in order to retire on the Durance $ and on
the 8th I continued my march. Gen.
D’Aoltanne found at Pont St. Esprit col.
Luurent, of the 10th Chasseurs, and made
an agreement with him, that I should be
permitted to retire upou Marseilles, es
corted by the JOth, or colonel general ;
butpo.Gilly refined hia assent: I learn,
ed this news at 7ierrelatre. As general
D’Adtanna was detained a prisoner, I
sen* the baron do Damas, who concluded
with general Gilly the couventku which I
hereto subjoin.
** The ejoemy had made himself master1
of the road of Avignon ; but I wuhed to
remain as long as possible, in order to se.
cure, as far as depended on me, the lives
and safety of the bravo men who followed
me. At iset! set oft at nine in the even
ing, and *vos dptajitol at Phnt St. Esprit,
where I wai j^ept orisoner for six days, in
contrarcUtTri of die signed convention.—
, I had for tan fours an oflieer of gendarme
rit in r*y apartment; he had orders not to
lose sight of mi $ and I did not get rid of
hint hut by giving him my word of honour
th*l I would not attempt to eseape. It
was General Orourhy woo had am red at
y«ot St. Esprit, that prevented me from
fnntinaing my journey j he himself -was
Yft^iad by a Genera) Gorbineau, aid-de
etttup of Bonaparte, f forgot to mention,
tfot the -colonel of the fOth regiment had
remained to me only 800 national guards.'
Oa tne last day of iny captivity general i
Grouchy set off lor Marseilles. • visa re
leased on he loth ; l arrived ou the loth
at Cette, and emourked the sauic day at
eight in the eveuiug. My passage thither
was in thir.y live hours; in tiue, God has
preserved me, as 1 hope, still for the ser
vice of the king. 1 have done all that I
could. I quit f’ranre v.ith Mttlucas; the
spirit of the country is very good % they
every where blessed me : but the greater
part of the army, and the geudartnerie, are
detestable.—Those who guarded me were
abominable: but twenty-five chasseurs of
-remained faithful to the last,they wish
ed to follow me every where, as well as
more than forty officers. We embarked
seventeen in number. When l left Cette
it was said that war was declared, and
that Bonaparte had demanded a levy #?n
manse of two millions of men and three
hundred millions of money. It is the opi
nion of France that the jacobins have as
sumed the upper hand, ami that terror
will reign. Toulon ami Marseilles were
obliged to surrender on the llthand 12th.

A so* of medicine verging to bis climacteric,
breathed out his amorous sighs to the daughter
of a Scotch Peer. The lady, prone to jocularity,
seemed to listen t-» his suit, snli ly f*.r th:it cnier

suming the characteristics of juvcnal ty. The
doctor one day was to pay a visit in form to the
Eddossof his idolatry i on this occasion he Was
termined to be ns Adonis like in habiliments

doctor was a man who scorned to be thought of
the sect of Penpal elicks; when he appeal ed, it
was .n the eques nan style. On sucli an impor
tant event as the pre-.ent, resolving to be spruce,
he took an immaculate shirt, and put it not on,
but in his pocket, prudently consider,ng that in
the action of ridjig, its purity might be tarnish
ed j to prevent this, he resolved to out it on when
he should come wvh n a short distance of the
scene of his wishes. When arrived at the settled
distance, the doctor proceeded to d.srobe himself
of his upper garments, still sitting on his horse;
his hat, wig, coat and waistcoat were taken olf
and la d upon the pummel of tlia saddle. In this
critical moment, malignant fate designing, his

On the 9:h February, 1814, an Act Was passed
by the Gcnerd Assembly of Virg ns, emrtled
** Aumct, concern.ng Taxes on Lands.*’—We re
commend an aitent:ve perusal of it to all land
holders, particularly those whose lands are re

clerk's oflice of each county and corporation in
the commonwealth, and in the hands of every jus

particularly important. A knowledge of it may
save the sacrifice of many valuable acres. We
publish it fir the information of such ef our rea

THE N. WESTERN INDIANS,
Gnarled by *lie British chieftains, Dick.
«on, Norton, and other*, threaten to din.
tiirb our frontiers. They hare not buried
the hatchet, not will they, until Milter and
Ur mem drub them into eirility.—From
the Ontario to LaJ>e Superior the mages
ire hostile. Troor** are moving toward
tiepoiu'a threat! ne '; and tome choic>
udkers are just uiUernl from Atlanth
posts to the interior. We cannot hut re
gret, un ler these circumstances, that ou
rijle corps, so well adapted to warfare ii
the woods, should Imve been reduced t »
one regiment.—Protection to the iuhabi
tants is the lirst duty of a government
and certain we are, that the people would
rather keep a whole army in pay a than
hear of one massacre. The clucf* above
named, are of Scottish birth, they unite to
minds opened by education, a strange affi
nity for savage life and manners. Dick
son, led the band who captured Michilli
mackinac before its commander was ap
prized ortiie war. Norton is well known
on the Niagara frontier, as a sort of mis
sionary, and murderer. He translated St.
John's CJosjiel, we are told, into one of the
Indian dialects, taking up the tomahawk
on condition perhaps, that the Indians
should turn Christians—of his church. Mo
tives of interest confirm these partizans in
their enmity to the United States. And
we cannot but hope that our govern
ment will prosecute the Indian war with
a vigor, promptness and perseverance that
shall make the savages beg for peace.—
This moment is favorable to our views :
England having so much business on hand
in Europe, counot do more than give or
ders to he*- “ trusty and well beloved”
Norton iu America.

LOSS OF THE SHIP LIVft-OAK.
The ship Live-Oak, Capt. Yarrcld Yar
ns!], of Scarborough, Mass. from Leith for
New—York, with a cargo of 160 pines of
gin, 100 casks powder, duck, cotton bag
ging, dry goods, &c. accidentally took fire
and blew u;» on Wednesday morning the
12th in»t. oir Southampton, L. I. whilst
ashore on the bar. She had taken fire in
her hold when about twelve miles from the
sight of land, but from what cause has not
been ascertained. Cant. Yarned, finding
all e Tort a to extinguish the fire ineffectual,
took to the long Imat, with his wife and
crew, who reached the shore in safety.—
One of her anchors, and some of the duck,
&c. were blown ashore to the distance of
a (juarter of a mile, and are much damag
ed, have been saved. The explosion was
tremendous, and was heard fer several
mi ler.
\\ e have been favored bv a merchant
with a letter from capt. Gririnalds ot this
port to his owners, dated
Lafirra, June 2f>, 1815.
At which place he arrived on the 10th of
May. His cargo was purchased by the
collector for the government at £18, clear
of duties to be delivered at Porto Cahello,
and 40 da vs allowed for the payment % to
V allowed gflO per day for any further
detention. S$15'H) to be paid in specie,
4000 hides at 150 and the balance in cof
fee at 11 cents, to lie put on board free of
i duty and shipping charges. Captain G.
Writes that he was romnelfed to let the {go
vernment have his flour as it was evident
they won’d hare used compulsion had lie
refused, as the vessel had be'*n put under
guard the ^d day after her arrival and un
til her cargo vas discharged—On the date
o' the letter, the prospect for payment was
very had—— anti the place which was in
the possession of the royalists in the great
est distress, “ Thousands of families had
neither bread nor anv thing else to eat”
and the government seized upon every
kind of supplies. Captain Earle of tliis
port, and a schooner from Haltimore were
in a similar situation. Captain G. in*
tends sending his vessel home if the pros
pect of his getting paid d’d not grow lief
er and remain himself until he could ob
tain money or produce for the proceeds of
his cargo. Jilcjc. Gar.
It is remarkable, that Cobhett has not
writ'en twenty lines on the defeat, of the
English at Vew-Orleans. In his Register
ofthe 11th March, he gives the first dis
patch of the English Gen. Lambert, dated
8th January, 1815, and the following pre
face :
" DRUBBtKO THt YAHKEVS.
M Johnny Bull, what do you think
°f^na*fe‘',, now ? Does the following bul*
lejwrh shew that you have hem able, as the
patriotic alderman (furtis) said you would,
to give the Yankees “ a confounded drub*
biug B it I find I must p*wtpone my
remarks on this interesting fediject. The
landing of NTapoleon in Fi ance will occupy
public attention for some days at least.—
I he* ap|H>ar already as mad about this
event as they were when they heard of his
deposition : nut although a great many arc
reffifcingj at this occurrence, who formetly
exulted in his downfbl, such is the fickle
disposition of honest John, that it will he
some time before his sentiments upon this
subject, or his opinion as to the defeat of
hi* \merican army, he pioperly asreitain*
ed.”
We have several numbers salmequent,
but although Gen. Jackson’s dispatches are
published, these is not a word of comment
—Lord Castlereagb has explained it in
parliament, on the motion for erecting a
monument—the rut ts too deep, and the
•round to tore that, even Cobhett, with
the recollection of hi* thousand pounds and
the foreign troop* is too much a John Hull
