NEW-YORK., August 22.
Yefhjrday arrived at .this port, the fiiip Polly
Capt. Tracy, from Loudon, last from the
Downs, 36 days. We have received the
Londort Daily Advertiser and Morning
Chronicle to the firfl <>f July ;but the ac

are not so late as, the we pub
li(hid from our French papers 011 Monday

matter thst have not yet appeared in the.
An icrican prißts, which we will occafion
alty extract.
The accounts of the right wing of th? army
of Moreau having forced the of
the Damfbe between Bleinheim and Dil
- lengen, in which the Auflrians were
fevere'y beaten ; the honours which the
French Government are preparing, as a
testimony of national gratitude, to the
memory of general Defaix ; and a few
other articles of lefllr note (rnoft of which
were anticipated by ou.-Pirs Journals
on Mondiy and Tuesday l .fl) c mprife
nearly the whole of the intelligence these
papers afford us. It w:,s rumoured in
London 011 the 30th Jitne, that a messen

charged by Buonaparte to make a renew

if he had many more ; Mr. Erfkine said
about ten or a dozen. Lord Kenyon then
said, that in hii opini n the evidence that
had been produced went clearly to prove,
that .the; Pnfoner was certainly in a deran
ged (l ite. If the attorney General, and the
Counsel tor \he Piofecutinn were of that
Opit»on, it woufd be needless to go any fur.
ther.
The Attorney General said, t' at he did
not wist to press the matter; he f«w it in
the light that his Lordlhip did, and did not
for a moment conceive that a talfe colouring
had been given to the* cafe by the evidence
for the prisoner.
Lord Kmyon then told the Jury, they
mud acquit the pnfoner, as his infinity was
proved , hut he mufl not be difthargrd; it
was ibfoluttly nrceflary, as well for his own
lake, as.for the fake of the community, that'
he fl)"uld not be let loose on th« public.
The Jury immediately returned a Verdic*
of Acguiita! 011 the Plea of Insanity. Tie
prisoner was then remanded, under the care
of Mr. Kilbv, to Newgate.
The prifoiwr appeared perfe&ly calm and
Collected, (during th<? whr.lr of the trill) un
til the entrance of his Roya! the
Duke of York, when he leaned over the
Ihoulder of Mr. Erlkine,exclainiing, "Oh !
how J love 1 How I love htm - ! God bless
him !" But on Mr. Erflcint-'? di-firing him
to be quiet, he recovered himfelf immediate,

he, feetn to be at :»ll afl" fled during the re

There is no tvnth (fays the Morning
Chronicle of Jt}ly I,) in the report of a per

Last Saturday we received papers to the
l6th inft. The Telegraphic dispatch from
Huninguen, of the 23d fays that the right

the paflage of the Danube, between Blen
heim and Dill ngen, a vigorous resist
ance ; md that the result of the battle was
3000 Auftnans made priloners, with the
loft) of 14 pieces ofca h si and 4 ftawlards
This movement aud its objtift, we forefaw
and announced in the Oracle of the 20th
and 24th, on the fhft inttlligence of the
marr.h.o' Lecnutbe upon Augsburg "The
real objeft of this movement seems to be
that of suddenly pu(h ng on Lecnurbe s
courps towards Diilingen, which is etween
Ulm and Donawerth, in order that, by
threatening Kray's communication with the
intetior of Gcrmary, he may be forced to
abandon his almost impregnable pofi ion,
under the walls of Ulm while our com
petitois diredttd the march of that general
towards the Tyrol upon which he turned
his back. That movement, we observed,
would oblige Gen. Kray either to quit hi
entrenched camp at Ulm, in order to force
the eremy to repafs the Danube, or to free
a paflage for himfelf towards Donawarth
and Ingalftadt ; othcrwife he would be en
closed in the fame manner that Melas has
been ia Italy. ,

Sir,
THE more I meditate on your charac
ter, the greatef are ihe fears which I enters
tain for my country. Born with a restless
and ambitious foul, you delight to roam in
the ltorm of anarchy and coufuCon, where
you may seize with insatiate fury on erery
obje& of appetite and pafiion ; indslge in
your speculative fyftenh of liberty, and fnb
v*rt that blefied Religion wbofe mildness
and benevolence support the bonds of soci
ety, and whose mercy gives eonfolat'ion in
the hour of death and mitigates its pangs.
I appeal to my country 'if my alarm is
not well founded ? Whatever faults and de
merits you may perceive in the Christian
Faith, it has often tranquilifed the troubled
foul of Ameiica when war ard peftihnce
hung over her head ; when misfortunes fol
lowed one another in rapi l succession, and
her very liberties lie gasping at her feet-
Your fellow-citizens Sir. will -not at th(s
hour rejeft that divine aid which has sup
ported them thro* theii' trials, and which
have been thought necessary by them to
their political fa vation They have expe
rienced the bad effl&s of a weak frame of
government under which lite and prop rty
were inlecnrc, and will not n 'W hazard the
fruits of their industry by a change in their
present energetic an secure system. They
have experienced the lofsof friends and tr; a
fur«s in gaining their much prized freedom,
and willnot now basely surrender it to the
intrigues or power of 3 foreign com try, or
to the machinations of their domestic fees.
I will Sir, in order to prove your disre
gard of the Christian Religion, refrefh your
memory with an anecdote which you well
know is founded in fa&.
