The battle became ohftinnte, ran t man. Col. Lacue, was killed at the head of his regiment ; which, in spite of the troll vigorous rdiflance, carried the bridge by main force. 1 lit cannon which defended it are all taken, and the excellent politico of Gurzhtirgh remains in our p.ffcflion, Ihe three attacks <f the cm my became ufe’efs. He retired with precipitation i l*e refervc of prince Murat arrived in the eight at Burgau, and cut t ff the enemy in the night. The circumllantial details of the battle, which cannot be given for several days, will make known the officers who hare diftinpuiflied them feces. Tiie emperor palled the night of the 9th to the 10th, and pat of the day of the loth, bit ween the corps of Marflials Ncy and Lanuce. The activi ty of the French army, the extent and complication of the combinations, which entirely escaped the enemy, difconccrtcd them extremely- The enemy loft more than 2500 men in the battle of Gunz burg. We made 1200 prtfoners, and 6 [ iece9 of cannon. We had 400 men killed -and wounded. Major general D’Afpre is in the number of the prifon erc. The F.rrperor arrived at Augfburgh on the 10th, at nine o’clock in the e vming; the city was in our poffiffion two days before. The communications of the enemy’s is cut off between Augf burgh and Landsbi rg, and will be at Ftieffen. Piince Murat, with the corps of Mai (hals Ney and Lannes, arc in pur suit. Ten regiments have been diawn fiom tlie Austrian army in Italy and came poll from the Tyrol, several of tin .0 have aheady been taken. Some Ruffian corps, which aJfo travelled poll, have arrived on the Inn ; but the advan tages of our pcifition are such that we cau face the whole. rIF I 11 Bill LET IN or THE GRAND ARM V.

He ar rived lhcre on the 1 ith, at 4 o’clock, and there fill in with the regiment of cuiras fiers of Piince Ferdinand, who, with fix pieces of cannon,were making a forced march to Dim. Martha! Soult ordered it to be charged by the 26th regiment of chaffeurs. It found iiltlf so difconcert cd, and the 26th of chaffeurs was anima ted with such ardour, that the cuiralfiers *Ouk flight on the charge, and left 120 prif. ner. one lieutenant colonel, to captains, and two pieces of cannon, Mar dial Soult thought they would continue their route on Memmingen, and had lent fiv.ral regiments to cut off their retreat ; but they retired into the woods, where they rallied to take refuge in the Tyrol. Twenty pieces of cannon, and the e quipage of the pontoons of the enemy, passed Landfberg on the 10th. Marlhal Soult sent in pursuit of them. General Stbtftioni, with a brigade of dragoons— yve hope he will come up with them. On the 1 ith, Marlhal Soult dirtfted his march to Memmingen, where he arrived at hreak of day. Marihal Bernadotte marched the whole of the 10th, and pla ced his advanced guard within two leagues of Munich. The Baggage of ma ny Austrian Generals fell into the polles fioo f his light troops- He made tcopri foncr* of different regiments. Marlhal Davoull repaired to Dachau. His advanced guard is arrived at Moi fach. The hussars of Blankenftem weie put into disorder by hischaffcours ; and, in different encounters, he made 60 horfe mrn piifonets. Prince Murat, with the reftrve of the cavalry, and the corps of Marftrals Ney and Lanucs, have placed themselves in lace of the enemy’s army—the lift of which occupies Dim, and the right Mem mingen. Marlhal Ney is mailer of both Tides of the Danube, in front ot Ulm—Marlhal Lannes is at Wt lffenhorn. General Marmont has gone on x forced march to take a petition on the height ot lller. fheim ; Marflial Soult, at Memmingen, out Harks the right of theeyemy. The imperial guard has left Augfburgh to r pair to Burguu, where the Emperor will probably le th ; s right. A decifivc affair is on the point of taking place, the Austrian armv has nearly all it*commu nications cut off ; it finds itfelf neaily iu the fame politiou as the army of Melas at Marengo The emperor was 011 the bridge of Lech when the corps of the ar ir.y of General Marmont defiled over it ; he had each regiment formed in a circle ; he spoke to them of the (ituation of the enemy, of the tin pittance of a grand bat tle, aid the confidence he had in them.— This harrange to<'k place during a dread ful ttorm ; there tell an abundance of snow ; tie troops had mud up to their knee, and fufttted much t . m the cold ; In: tiie words of the emper r were a f. .me ; ou bearing him the loldier forgot his fatigue* and bis wants, and was im— pit ent to tie the hour of battle arrive.

Several large Austrian magazines, amongst others those of Friedberg in Bavaria, have fallen into the power of the French.

The official Journal of this day remains si lent •, it becomes it less than any other to announce vidter'es on she authority of private letters. All those which have been re ceived from Sir&fburg, cor.hnyi the triumphal entry of the French into Ulm ; they agree upon this point, as well as upon the total rout of the Austrians, who found no ether means ot retir.ng towards Bohemia but in march ing across Franconia —a 1 rrj 6t truly extraordinary, but difl iced by neceflity, and which explains thedelay of the couriers expedi ted fro n the Grand French army.

From the CI7T GAZETTE. Mr. Freneau —IN the Courier of Ratuaday last. f observed iome remarks by a writer under the signature of Pyr •ho, whether intended 1 know not, but certainly calculated to make a premature ; imprefiion aeainlt the character of Mr. ArnJJrong, the American nsinitler. In forming our opinions on any fubjedt ! whether foreigh or domestic, legal or ap | pertaining to physic, we fhtnild not be | latiified but by obtaining all the informs tion or evidence the inveltigation P'ay require, for and against. Opinions thus formed, ought to be correct—our judg ments so fixed, cannot be revet fed ; but if w ith that violence which never tails to be the scourge of party, we pronounced judgment on any public characfterunhesrp how few shall escape. Where will the government find officers? How ; must we too appear ir. the fight of moder- J ate men, when those opinions are proven to be groundless ?—how uncharitable in our own estimation ? Condemn not unheard, is a rule of moral law which ought to be deeply impressed in the human heart -1 presume not to enter tnyfelf the ad vocate of Mr. Armitrong’s conduct as a miniftsr ; but I would have those citizens suspend their judgment, who have been no better informed as to the authenticity of the letter lately publiflted, than 1 have been. lam i clined to rcafon thus; Mr. Arm strong is a character known long to the officers of the government, and, l believe always diftinguilhed by deierveag their confidence. His nomination and foreign appoint ment, are proofs that his reputation had been well eftabliftied, and that he must have merited every honor that could have been bellowed on him by his ecun try. We are all aware how much of talent and information, joined with unimpeach able charafter, are necessary to entitle a citizen to the firft fi,nations under gov ernment, and appointment abroad. Vie also know, that in proportion as industry application and ta'enti are flow ; n ritab j billing a man’s popularly, so on .lie otli jer hand, ans envy and deftru&ion ever ; fwift and busy in despoiling, in one lit tle hour, reputation, the rcfult ot tried fidelity and years spent in our country’s ! tervice. 1, therfore, from principal as well as for the honor of nry country, (hall re jeci every affirtton or iofertion against it* officer* at home or aoroad, ’i;ll proofs incor.teftable are given me of what must |go to diferedit them : 1 shall then, in common with tiie rest of tr.y t bow citi- I zens, mourn the frailties of human tta ! ture, and the corruptibility of the human : heart, even in the molt dignified lla tioe*. Pyrrho I h:p*, there fore, will agree ■with me, that from the proofs w h have always been given of the Prebdeut’s care and attention to the honor a id weli fare of thp general government, he m ‘.ft have been fgqdranf of tits letter, or hav in'; known of it, hut without evidence ot its authenti, ‘*y, has confi lered it in that light, which every American, who feds for the honor and dignity of hi3 coa.i ■ ’s repr.fentaiivea, (hould do. ’ sis proper then, 1 think, tbit the public fhou'd suspend their ju lg noit on Mr. Armstrong’s conduct, until he fluu have had an opportunity of defending hinifelf against the charge so seriou s laid against his ciiarader as a mhi ifter. From the National Ir.tolligtaccr of Dec, 2, THE Ninth Congress this day com mences their settings, and again presents afpectacleto the American people, not exhibited in any other quarter of the world. Tttis body, composed of mi chosen by the people themselves, or their immediate reprefentativea, is conve ned, not at the will of a ki’’g, or any one man, but in compliance with a constituti onal injunction eftahbftied by the people themselves. To them are afiigned. th: preservation of the dearest intcrefts of the ccantry : the security of intern?. 1 peace, the proreflton against external danger, and whatever is coniieCtt and with the gene ral welfare of the whole community.— Selected with diferimirating judgment ftorn the body of their fellow citizens, without any invidious diftir.&ions on the score of pr perty, according to the esti mation of their integrity arid talents, they may be confidently pronounced the true rcprefer.tativesof the people. It is pot. llble that to a few inftacces men r of the high tysufidcncc reposed in them may have been chosen by dishonorable I means,Tut a vait mi j irity are undoubt edly the free and enlightened cho.ce o£ the people. To tnen thus fifledted by a people, nei ther ignorant nor mindful of their inte rests, may fafeiy be confided the manage ment ol.the public concern*. Tiny can not, without the imputation of madnefi of their constituents. i’hc inteteftsef the one arc the fame with those of the ci ther—nor can those Le injured without injury to the other. In minor points a ddcordancc may exist, but in the leading intend of the nation it is impoflible.— This is the less likely to be the case, not only from the uniform political fentimenrs of a large mjority of the ligifL.ture, but like wife from their cntiie corrcfpondence with the executive department of the go vernment, At no period since the evid ence of the present division of parties in the Unitrd States have the republican* in tiie legiflattire presented so itrong and unbroken a column ; and at no period since have they more happily coincided with the chief magistrate. Let not ths timid fear, or the unfriendly flatter them (elves with the result of those light divi. (ions that have already appeared in the ranks of the republicans. These divifi. ons, are the off-fpringof mutual tolerati on, tiiey refpett subordinate points, and they are altouttherconnecded wit'ninieriov concerns. Tfiey atttft the independence ar.d sincerity cf those who exhibit them, and prove, beyond the reach of refutati on, the p evaltmce of principle over cun ning and fliatagem. Let Lrious danger affml id, eitner from within or from with out, but more tfpecially from the latte* quarter, and these differences will disap pear. There will instantaneously b@ but once common effort. Americans arc not want to boast ; but events have mani felted that there arc no people who love their country with a stronger devotion.— they have long since too difeovered that their infrit utions, no less than nature, have placed them aloof from all dependence on other nations. Should, therefore, the in justice of foreign powers call their prow ess into aftion, they know that it would be exerted folaly in the maintenance of their own rights and welfare. A cation, animated by such motives, and with more abundant iubftantial resources than are poffeiTed by any other people, would be well fitted, not only to defend themselves, but, it necessary, in the language of an eloquent statesman, “to strike a blow that ftiould resound through the uni verse.” Public opinion has attached to the en suing session of Congrefa the difclofnre of much important matter. That thii ex pectation will be gratified can scarcely admit a doubt. Ttie glorious issue of our waifure vv'ith Tripoli will furnifh a theme grateful, iu its various afpeAi, to the feelintr* of our countrymen. It is very probable that the details of tin's memora ble event will filed new luftre ou thrr charafler, while they may b: expe&ed irrefragable to confute th; ephemeral li bels which Have been so malignantly ns well as lavllh’y cast on the administration. The date of our foreign relation* will off r a topic of vail importance. Tbu“ mtafnres of vigor will be taken can admit of a question. The nati onal feeling is too indignant longer to tolerate forbearance. It is probable th: * the issue of important negotiations will K laid before the legifiature, an I that it will then appear how riptn*, indifferent and criminal ihe executive hes be-11 m the difeharge of its important duties ; and whether it has manifefiel a spirit entitled to our applatife, or betrayed a tni-k’ip'j humanity unworthy of 3 powerful ratio; !
