Late Foreign Neivs.
LONDt)N, October 9.
We received this morning Hamburgh
Correspondents to theSOthull. Frank
ori to the 22d, Berlin to the 24th, and
to the 19th. The latest intelli
gence from Vienna is of the sixteenth-
Bonaparte had set out from Schoen
brurnon a journey of 4 d iysto Brunti.
Nothing had transpired with respect to
the negotiations; hut the Hamburgh
correspondent says, that “ hopes of
peace increase.” It adds, that a prin
cipal demand in the negotiation is, that
until Peace is made with England, a
French army shall remain in the Aus
trian States.
A Gottenlmrg Mail arrived last night
with an account of peace having been
signed between Kussuend Sweden, on
the 17th vdi. The'terms have not tran
spired, but we have little doubt that
Sweden has yielded to the demands of
Jlussia, ceding Finland the Island of Al
and, and consenting to shut her ports a*
gainst this country. The 12th ofNovb
is said to be the day on which our ex
clusion from her ports is to commence.
'i lie Tyrolese carry on offensive op
erations with spirit and success. They
have made an incursion into the Saltz
burgh territory and fears are entertain
ed of their making themselves masters
ol Saltzburgh. 'File troops sent against
them have been all defeated with the
greatest slaughter.
A Dutch paper of so late a date as the
7th instant, has.)his morning been re
ceived in town, which says, that accor
ding to the last accounts from Hungary,
the Emperor of Austria was so extreme
ly ill, that bis Fife was dispaired of.
The same paper, we understand con
tains a report that the Emperor of Rus
sia had declared his determination of
joining Austria in the event of the re
newal of hostilities.
Bonaparte is expected shortly in
Holland. The situation of that coun
try is deplorable ; Louis Bonaparte in
a recent speech to the Magistrates of
Amsterdam, says, “ our situation i 3 bad
and grows worst: daily from the unfore
seen attack of the English, and from
the injustice, hatred, and oppositions
which we have not deserved.”
We understand that letters have been
written to Lord Wellesley, to offer him
the Foreign Department.
As several weeks, however, must e-
Japse, In lore lie can return front Seville,
the seals are in the interim to be confi
ded to his personal friend, Lord Bar
lui rst.
Bonaparte, according to report, is
se"iously indisposed, and has been obli
ged to send for a physician. What
must he the state of a man who can
not but fear that the physician whom
he consults may he desirous of ridding
the world of him, and may therefore
leave the disorder to its natural course
if it he likely to prove fatal. But if so
desirable an event as his death were to
happen, though no illumination might
take place; it is certain that every body
would rejoice, but the instruments of
his crimes and his dependants. Alex
ander the Great resolutely took the
medicine from his physician, though
he had been informed that the latter in
tended to poison him, acting in a lofty
consciousness of virnie ; hut Bonaparte 1

The late enumeration has ascertain
ed also the proportion of males arid fe
males. It has long been known that
more male children are born than fe
male. The register of baptisms for 29
years, make 3,285,188 of the former,
and 3,150,922, of the latter, which is
about the proportion of 104 to 100.
MUTINY OF THE BOUNTY.
Extract of a letter from Brunos jijra;, to a
merchant in Corky dated. June 19, 1809.
“The American ship Topaz, capt.
Matthew Folger, in the latter end of the
year 1807, on a trading voyage to the
South Seas, fell in with Pitcairn’s Island,
in lat. 26, s. long 23, 7. He put out his
boat to go on shore, when he was met
by some men, apparently Indians, in a
boat, who hailed him in good English.
They told him that a man of the name
of Smith was waiting for him atone of
their houses, to which he was conduct
ed, and from him he learned the fol
lowing particulars:
“ That he (Smith) had been a marin
er, and one of the mutineers on hoard
; the Bounty ; and after they parted with
i capt. Bligh, they put back to Otabeite.
j A few days after, Christian, the chief
• of the mutineers, called some of his
j most confidential men together, and
| told them it would be unsafe for them
! to remain any longer, as it was very
certain that the British government
would send after them, and it was better
to go as soon as possible from that
place ; upon which they agreed to leave
the island, and take with them their
wives and servants, and every thing that
was necessary for their maintenance,
to some uninhabited island. Nine of the
mutineers, with their servants and wo
nun, accordingly embarked, and bro’t
the ship to Pitcairn’s island, when alter
stripping her,she was burnt. He further
says, that in the course of some time,
the servants rose on their masters, and
killed all but himself, (Smith) he hav
ing escaped with a pistol shot in his
neck. lie was in a lew days afterwards
found in this state in the woods by the
women, who. by a well concerted plan,
if had killed all the servants, so that of*
f the mutineers, Smith now only was a
j live— ever since lie (Smith) had con
’ tinned to live with them. The children
which these women had, and those they
were pregnant with, at the time their
husbands were killed, had increased,
and those he had instructed in the Eng
lish language and protestant religion.
During the seventeen years he had
been on the island, he had seen but one
1 ship pass, and that at a great distance,
j Capt. Folger says, their houses and
| domestic a flairs were Conducted in the
; same manner as the peasantry in Eng
land—that the girls and boys were very
handsome and well proportioned, and
that he never met with better conduct
ed people in his life; that the women
were rigidly virtuous, and that no cler
gyman could have u better conducted
flock than Smith had. lie declared that
he would never quit the island, and if
ever a king’s ship touched there he
would secure himself, as lie never ex
pected the English government would
pardon him. On capt. Folger’s telling
him of the victories of the English navy
over France, he wept for joy like a
child.”
——
GENERAL REUBELL.
The following account of this officer's
late misfortune, &c. is taken from an
English paper, and is evidently very
incorrect in some particulars. Wheth
er the duke of Brunswick, (the head of
the Saxon insurgents whom lie Had
beaten) escaped by his connivance, we
know not, but, the flight of Reubei! is
prima facie evidence of his misconduct, j
Itisalso ridiculous to say, that Bona
parte sent young Reubell to the West-
Indies, that he might fall a victim to
the climate ; for, his own brother was
sent thither.—Reubell was not an ob
ject lofty enough to invite the envy or
hate of Napoleon. The truth appears
to lie, that the duke of Brunswick ef
fected his escape, either through Reu
bell’s weakness or corruption,—most
probably the former; as general R.
has no great military talent, and had
seen vety little service. On Napoleon’s
giving orders to arrest him, it is be
lieved that Jerome Bonaparte (whose
intimate friend and constant compan
ion Reubell had been) gave him a pri
vate intimation of the dt sign,—.md suf
fered him to get away unmolested.
We notice these reports, only to
point out the misrepresentations of the
London papers. For sake of Reubell‘s
respectable connections in Baltimore,
we regret that a shadow should cloud
his fame, or any stigma be imprinted
on his name. Whig.
Gen. Reubell is the son of Reubell,
one of the five directors. The father
being hostile to Bonaparte’s plans of
ambition, the latter of course marked
him out as an object of hatred; which
was also extended to lus son. The ge
neral was sent to the West-Indies, in
his military capacity b£*Bonaparte, pro
bably in the hope that he would fall a
sacrifice to the climate. While thege
neral was in the West-Indies, he for
med an intimacy of a most confidential
nature with Jerome Bonaparte; and
when the latter wasmade king of West
phalia, he took gen. Reubell into his
service, and appointed him governor of
Cassel, very much to the displeasure
of Bonaparte. General Reubell recei
ved orders to intercept the duke of
Brunswick Oels, and he was informed
in the orders in distinct terms that his
head should be answerable for his suc
cess.
The duke, however, succeeded in
effecting his escape, and Reubell was
too conscious of the danger of his own
situation to think of remaining any lon
ger within the reach of Bonaparte’s
power; lie accordingly set out from
Cassel for Bremen. lie travelled in
1 is full uniform as general, and with
his usual suite, having made out his
own passports. The night after he left
Cassel, some gens, d’armes arrived
there to arrest him. At Bremen he em
barked on board a neutral vessel and
arrived aboutthree weeks ago at Graves
end, where lie still remains, not having
received, as had been staled, permis
sion to come to London. His wife is
at Heligoland, and is daily expectedin
this country ; and upon her arrival it is
supposed the gen. will set off for Ame
rica. Madame Rtubell is a native of
America, and the daughter of a man
of considerable property there.
TO THE TUBLIC.
The following letter, was edurcssed
to Major William Hazzurd, by Josefih
Cofifiinger , of Baltimore, one of the first
Artists in our country, with a request
that it should be published. The utility
of his valuable Machine, is equal to any
invented since the peace. Any person
wishing to purchase either of them,
can receive what further information
they may wish, hv addressing a letter
to Major William Hazzurd, Beaufort,
South-Carolina.
Baltimohe, 4th Sept. iBJ9.
Major IViliiam Haxzard ,
Sir—Your letter, dated in the Inst
month, was duly replied to,and to which
. i beg leave Jo yt fer ; since then T h.ivt
! altered my intention of selling or.lv
St'tc 'lights, (to wlncit I would give a
preference, could I get my price,) of
my Miingle mu! Nail Cutting Machine,
to mtt<idue.«* winch) and to afford a be
ginning to its operafhn, in your state, I
will dispose of single rights for £>loo
each, which probably will be more con
venient than purchasing the state light,
lor ten times that sum. In case you
incline to purchase n single tight, you
can either have a drawing, or a model v
made for you here, accompanied with
the necessary explanations, one or both,
hut this will be a separate charge. The
single right of the Plaining and Joint
ing Mill, will h<; disposed of for the
same sum, say SIOO. There are three
other rights, some of which, if not all,
may he interesting to you, or if not, to
some of your friends or acquaintance.
The first is a simple and cheap con
struction of a Machine for getting out
Wheat or Small Grain, without break
ing or injuring the Straw, whilst at the
same time it screens and prepares it for
market by on- operation. It is comput- /
ed that with the labor of two men and *
a boy, one hundred bushels may be
thrashed and cleaned out within twelve
hours. The cost of the Patent Right of
this Machine, for your state, will he
s2eO. The cost*of erecting the Ma
chine itself, will not I expect, exceed
SIOO. Any good Carpenter and handy
Smith, can complete it. The second is
a simple contrivance for driving a
Whip-Saw, by the labor of a single
man, who, it is calculated, if he works
diligently, may saw 500 feet of plank ,
per day. in suit wood, with more ease r
than 250 feet is now done in the com
mon way, with the labor of two men—
one or more of these erections, would
be very useful appendages of a lumber
yard or large farm. The cost of this
Right for your state, will be S2OO.
The third is a new mode of Distilling
in Metal, rather than Copper Stills, by
which the whole operation is conducted
in the one vessel, namely the boiling of
the water, mashing, cooling off, and
distilling, (properly so called) one fire
working off seven stills, at one and the
same time, without any slopping or
breaking of the beer, before it has ar
rived at the highest point of its fermen
tation. These itills are proposed to be
mounted or capped wit it wooden capi
tals, and the metal itseif so protected
within and without, as to prevent its
contact with the spirits, and secure the
spirits itselt against emphirhumea or
burning, an object of the highest im
portance in well conducted operations
in this way. The size, form, and num
ber of these Stills, are optional—twen
ty-one dividing them into three bouts,
is what I would give a preference to.
The cost of each single Right, will be
SIOO.
