There are many, however, in
qitence of the new modelled orders in
council of the 26 th of April laji, who
have already for the purpofes of oppo
fit ion, denounced our adminifi ration
for having placed too much faith and
confidence in the overtures cf the Bri
tijh mriifier, and for having ijfued
bis proclamation too precipitately in
confequence of it. It may beneujfary
to obferve that our adminifiration can
fiand in no need of jufiificatiou on this
account, nor are thefe obfervations in
tended as fuch. But if interefi is at
all regarded by Great Britain in her
intrigues and ncgociations with foreign
nations, fhe could not have forgotten it
U her friendly propefitions to cur go
vernment. ‘ lke ofienfible caufe mufl
hi the advantages arifing from cur
commerce —but their is another caufe
cf infinitely more intrinjic value, the
monopoly of the wealth of Spanifb A
inerica, and the tranquil continuation
cf its enjoyment. And it may be laid
do wn as an axiom in the politics of
ihe day that, fo long as the mines of
Mexico exiff under the influence and
control of England, Jo long may our
Executive place the fullefl confidence
in the friendship of the Britifh govern

■ Ths 4th of July ever dear to
Americans as the day which broke
the chain, that connected them to a
defpod: and arbitrary government*
was celebrated at the Court-Houle
of this county by avail coileftion
of our fellow-citizens.—The meet

Meigs, who read that bulwark of
aur freedom, the Declaration of
Independence 3 and was followed by
Mr. Robert Scott of Athens, who
delivered a very Hand fo me and ap
propriate oration, which (hail ap

then repaired to an elegant barba

two elegant balls, furnifhed by Cap

The utmoft good order and hilarity
prevailed throughout the day and
night.
How happy are Americans if
they would but confider and weigh
weii their prefect prosperous fixa

exiftence that has fuch a promifing
profpett before them 3 what more
can the American people wifli for
than what they now pofifefs 3 it is
but the cry of the few that ever has
ftamped the chara&er on us, of be

Americans will but follow the pre

BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL,
Niw-York, June 22.
Yefterday the fhip Virginia, cap
tain Crocketr, arrived here in bal
lad, from Amfterdam. It will be
feen by our tranflations from an
Amfterdam paper of the ift of
Mav, that there has been a fevere
battle between the Archduke
Charles and the French Emperor.
The various accounts of this battle
difagree in particulars. One ac
count ftates, that Bonaparte took
300C0 prifoners, 20 generals, &c
—another that he took 20000 prif
oneis; But the mod improbable
ldory is, (and to us they all carry
improbability „ with, them) that
which we have from Captain
Crockett, who, no doubt has heard
fuch a report on the eve of his fail
ing. It was, that, on the fird day
cf the battle, Bonaparte pretended to
be defeated, and retreated merely to
gain a more advantageous petition
—having obtained this petition he
turned upon the Archduke Charles
and after a bloody battle, literally
took and deftroyed the whole of the
Andrian aimy—6o,ooo prifoners,
twenty-fix generals, all their cannon,
colors, ammunition, &c. fell into
his hands. The number of Auf
trians left dead on the field, was not
exactly known 3 tne lofs of the
French as ufual, was verv trifling.—
It was however, con felled by the
French thcmfelves, that this victory
had not decided the fate of Audria.
The Arch-duke John was at the
head of 80.000 troops, advancing
to co-operate with his brother
Charles,
The Emperor ox Audria, it was
reported, had returned to Vienna,
from the army.
The difpatch fhip Mentor, cap
tain Ward, had been in France 3 cr
4 weeks, and it was dated in a let
ter from France, received at Am
fterbam, that Mr. Armftrong, cur
minitier at Paris, was to return to
America in the Mentor.
No further relaxation had taken
place in the French decrees. The
flip Virginia brings out difpatches
for government, fuppoled to be in
reply to thole which went out in the
Mentor, to Mr. Arintirog at Pa
ns.
A letter from Amtierdam of the
29th of April, to a refpectable houle
in this city, fays—
l( I have juft time to inform you,
that c fticial accounts are juft receiv

the Danube—2s,ooo killed, 10,000
prifoners, and 100 pieces of cannon
taken by the French/*

It was received moft welcomely.

P. S. This moment we have re

The Auftrian army, by the
fire cf Heaven, ftruck for its un
grateful and taichiefs guilt—all their
cordons are deftroyed—more than
twenty generals are either killed or
wounded —one Archduke is killed
end two wounded. We have more
than 30,000 prifoners -, we have ta

munition ar.d provifions. We aie
