AUGUSTA, Fab. 22.
AS ch? limits of our Paper will not admit
of a detail of news, we mud endeavor to
condenfc it for the information of our rea
ders. Since our lail, we have received a
series of French bulletins—on the 13 th of
November, Marshal Dtvouft followed up
his fuccet's —the whole of Marfields army
was destroyed. The general made his ef
«ape with about 100 Hu lans —on this day
.the French army entered Vienna. At the
battle of Dpirnftcin, between 4 and 3 thou
sand French, commanded by Mortier, made
head againd the Ruffians, and took from
them 10 stand of colors, 6 pieces of cannon,
900 prisoners, and killed 200 —since the
paflage of the Fr«nf>h over the Inn, they
represent, that they had taken about 10,000
prisoners. The artillery, amauition See,
found in Vienna was iramenfe, and the
contributions levied on that city were not
final i.
At the b.ittleof Deirnftein, the Major
general of the Ruffian arifty with two other
generals, were killed.
On the 13th, all the columns of the
French were in full march, and advanced
into Moravia, some days march from the
Danuba.
On the 16, the Ruffians, after having
experienced coafidcrable loss at Holbrun,
feiit a dag of truce by an Austrian officer,
for permission to federate themselves from the
latter--a general officer of the Ruffians pro
posed a capitulation to Gen. Murat, who
confemed, but Napoleon disapproved of It.
Geu. Viliancs commanding Davouft’s ca
valry, entered Freiburg, the Capital of Hun
gary. Bsragmy D’Hiliiers was at Ttenitz
in Bohemia, on the 9 of Nov. About
(hi* time Mutfiial Ney made himfelf master
of the Tyrol; on the 16 he entered Infpruck,
where he found an immenfiry of Cannon,
&c.—-The Arch Duke John, who com
manded m this quarter, fled. Gen. Klein
wade an incuriion into Bohemia, and found
that country in a deplorable flare, from the
iiivagts and outrages of the Ruffians.
On the 18, a severe adlion took place at
Ziaim, between Murat and the Ruffians,
when the latter were defeated with the loss
of i 2 pieces of cannon, too baggage vvag.
gOns and 2000 prisoners ; 2000 more re
mained on the field ofbattie, thus much from
the French Bulletins.
The London courier puts us in pofieffion
of later news, under the head of “ a brilli- i
ant vidory over the French, “
He dates that a grand battle had been
fought near Witchau, on the 2d December,
continued on the 3d, renewed on the 4th ;
and completed on the sth, on which he re
presents the Frefich to h*ve I een totally
defeated. The firft column of the Prussians ,
had arrived at Nuremberg, in aid of the 1
allies.- Angereau, with 60,000 men from
Brest, had arrived at Ulm, and the Arch
duke Charles, after having been driven out
of Italy, had reached Hungary—our next
late accounts from Europe will (hed more
light on all this bufmefs.
ExtsaS of a letter to the Editor of this
Taper, from his correfpendent and friend
dated , Old Lead Mines , Dijirici of St.
Genevieve , Territory of Louijiana, Dec.
16, 1803.
“ THE following articles of intelligence
I have just received from St. Louis through
an organ too refpedable to be doubted ; a
few days since, a party of Sac-Indians kill
ed two American traders up the Miflburi
and fealped them, which is always a sign of
war they have also been to the little vil
lage of the Osage Indians and killed and car
lied off prisoners, all the Indians found
there. Upwards of five hundred Kickapoo
and Patawatame Indians have been for some
time encamped in the neighborhood of a
flourifiring settlement of Americans, exceed
ing one hundred families, called Gsihen, fif
teen miles from St, Louis, eastern fide of (he
Miffiffipp?, St. Clear county, Indiana terri
tory—these Indians have committed confi
dcrable depredations, by burning up almost
entirely, their plantations; killing their
stock, and taking their grain, See, A
courier has been dispatched to Governor
Harrison, with a ftatemeut, of the hostile
manner in which these Indians have affed,
upon which the Governor dispatched a man
to them that unless they ceased in
their nefarious conduift and departed imme
diately, he fhosld be compelled to fend his
warriors to difptrfe them, to which they
replied, that the land (there) was theirs;
that they had never fold it; and that they
did not care how Toon Governor Harr.fon
Tent his warriors.
“ Eight or nine days since a marauding
party of Indians attacked some Americans
at a Corn-hoiking in the Babarula settle
ment, diftrift of cape Girardeau, killed
seven men on the spot, aad wounded fix
more ; a rneffeager was dispatched to Gover
nor Wilkinson, who ordered the to
pursue them immediately—of what nation
the party was competed, is unknown.
<{ From the Indians considerable outrages
are to be expected ; some fay they ate urged
°n by the French ; and 1 think it not very
problematical—for myfelf 1 live alone

For the Augusta Chronicle
Mr. Editor,
Please to puhhjh the following in j our ntxf f
1 hare fren in your paper of the 1 sth
instant, an application of James Allen, to
infer! the affidavit ofT. H. M. Fenuall,
and a certificate- figoed Campbell Sc Nelson,
which he fays, will (hevfr to any unprejudi
ced persons, that Mrs. Berry and myfelf,
have propagated ungrounded reports to rhe
injury of the charaXcr of jofeph Allen dec.
I think if Mr. Allen had not been urged on
by prejudice, or blinded by intcreft ; he
would not have made the application ; But
he well knew that there were Icveral Negroes
and other property plundered and taken a
way (by his connexions) from the estate of
William Tylordcc. and that too before the
dust of the clods of the valley was rubbed
from their (hoes, after returning from the In
’ terment of the corpfe—(O horrid!) Healfo
well knows that we have instituted suits for
the recovery of the property, so plundered
and taken away. There is no doubt but
that he meant by (be publiftiing of those pa
pers to fednee, ami make unfavourable ini
preffions on the minds of the jurors who
were to decide on those suits, or he would c,
never have troubled the public with the
fight of them in your piper, as noother u
tility could be cxpeXcd from the fame ; ei
ther public or private And as so the affida
vit of Mr. Fendal), I do aver that ft is erro
neous, as he has not had any conversation with
Mrs. Berry, as flared in the fame, fioce her
intermarriage with me—Mr. Allen informs
us that the underwritten certificates annexed
to his publication are true copies as they
ft and j if so, the certificate of MtflVs Camp
bell & Nelson, prbves, that Joseph Allen
dec. had taken up goods in their ftorc on the
credit of the EftatcofWilliamTylordcceafed,
which goods ws do aver were never applyed
to the ufc of the fame—l c fo not wish to
meddle with the clmaXer of the dead, 1
mean only', to speak the truth at all times ;
and will endeavour to support the fame
