Wr received intelligence from Frankfort to the 27th o&ober, while our paper was at prt fs.— It add?, hoaevt* , a lew particu lars of importance to thole al. ra lly made known through the of ficial bulletin of the French ar my. The only intereflmg news is that which 1 elates to the ;e treat of he wreck of the Auftii aa army. On the aoih of Qdt. the little column commanded • by Archduke Ferdinand, arrived at Nuremburg. It had been on the iSih, Gunzcnhatden.— This column carried with it 50 or 69 pieces of artillery. It had fcircely departed theeee, when I rinee Murat's corps appeared, and made fotne ptilmers in the iiTunb ofGudenhoff.

The following important communica tion, We have just received from a r:f peftable merchant cf this city : Mr. Lewis — l observe in the papers of Saturday evening, and of this Jay, a notice, requesting a general meeting of the merchant* at the Tontine Coffee House thiS*"evening, for the purpefe of considering the present embarrassed state of the foreign commerce of the United States. This measure, which has un doubtedly ariser. frprr, the bell motives, may be made, if wifely conduced, to produce eonfequrrrcK beneficial to the great intcreftsof the Union, Tiie fuhjeft which is pro posed for the cpnlideration of the merchants, has been received by vcffel* from Liverpool &801- deaux, which arrived on Saturday. I From those advices, it vviil appear, on the one hand, that Great Britain, exult ing in the powerful combination (he has formed-, was mrduaiing early in October, menfurcs extremely hostile to the rightis and interests of neutral nations ; and, on the other hand, that the coalition bad received a severe and perhaps fatal (hock, by the viftcries cf the French, and the deftruftion of the Andrian grand army. How far the latter event* may influence the councils and conduct oi the great na val power in relation to neutral commerce it is not easy to eofijofture. It is improbable, however, that as (lie lias just entered on the thrdliold of a continental war, one difafte-, great as it is, will not deter her ministry from a prejeft which thty have ferioufiy pondered, and the conftquer.ces of which they have fully calculated. Then projeft is to put an entire stop to the exportation, by neutrals, of colonial profusions ; of couife, to confine the im portations to a supply for the to slump tioei of the neutral country. All the nations of Europe will proba bly soon become engaged in trie prefer.: contest. The United State* is now the greatest, and may soon become the only ueutral power ; this blow is then more ef pccially aimed at htr commerce, and if not arrelled muft|final!y dellroy it. ‘l'he merchants of the Ur.ited States will lee the imminent danger to which they are exposed, and will, it is hoped, meet the emergency with moderation, indeed, but with firinncfs and decision ; they ought not, they cannot eonfent to facriliice their neutral lights ; if they do, tiny dellroy their commercial exist ence. Merchants cfal! parties, of every (hade of politic: l ddferencts, are equally intcr elL-U in til’s great quiltion ; it is emphat ically a notion 1! yurjlicn —to give it a de cision consonant to the true interests of our country, the effort* of ail are indif pen ft.hly ncceflary. Not merchants alone, but citizens of evci y class, are concerned in the right uecilion of this important fulj :ft. The interests of any one class of the commu nity, arelo intimately conneded aud in terwoven with those of every other, that i measure which is disastrous to one will be equally ruinous to all.
