From the Frttman't Journal. l is evident that the Freuch gained but lit tle ground the first day, for they say that from noon till nine o'clock in the evening they ma noeuvred in the vast plain of EnzertdorfT. That thev were forced ?o tnanasivfe there Si long proves the Austrian-dispositions to have been most admirable. When nighr carhe n the ene my was every where put to flight and anjiihi tateJ (this is not the ninth but -certainly tlu fourth or fifth lime that ihe French aav thev have annihilated the Austrians this campaign but notwithstanding no enemy remained, iht r rench prepared tor the battle of Wagram which they foresaw was to take place, the next day, and disposttton tf the French and u trian generals tOere vppoci to each other - Wagrcrn was taken In the night, but the French urjd the Saxons got at loggerheads in the dark, ina the annihilated Austrians, ably profiting b) his sad mistake, triumphandy repossessed thai rillige. . 7'iie French were Intrtund resisted a. very point, from daybreak till noon On the e con i day of the battle, which," at the beginning of July, must have been seven" or eight hours. uid at last the French only regained their la- nous old position of EbcrsdOrff. After om tattle of seventeen hours had been fought,with ut any materidl advance on the pail of th ?rench.th great Napoleon discovered that tht .rch D ike a dispositions were so unskilful tha t would le no triumph to defeat him. and actu dly waited somi time to see if he would not become ashamed of them himself, and run awa without fisrhtin? a second time. Charles however, concluded to fight some eight or ten hours longer, and now Napoleon's movements vere rapid oeyond the .conception of us poor mortals, who can form ho adequate idea of tht operations of an u Omnipotent Genius.' It a noment the centre of the enemy bs: a league oj ground. What an awtul moment" was this ! Omnipotence alone could remove, a hundred thousand men a league in one moment. Birnam xr i ii . ...ii . t . i uuu tim noi in'jve so rapicuy 10 uunsinane. iJut in the meantime our left wing was sur rounded at i3000 toises.' Yes Bonaparte tells us that his left wing was not onlv cut oft, but surrounded by his " annihilated' and" unskil ful" enemy, and there is every reason to believe ihat this most masterly manoeuvre of the Au strian commander failed of complete success it .... oniy occausc his whole numbers were greatly interior to those ot the lirench. Although th einperor, at day break, was astonished at tht unskilfulness of the enemy, and ashamed to dr feat them too soon, It Was rot till ten oVtock (after 2 or 23 hours fightinfe, besides the mid night contests at Wagram) that " intelligent men saw tnat the day was decided and the vie tory on our side," and it was not till a little " bsfore night" that " the enemy was out sight," unpursued, unmolested by the trium ph.nt Gauls. 7"he Austrians are said to have h id 800 or 900 pieces of cannon, and the French only claim to have taken 40, of which 12 were taken on the first day of the battle, an the for tress Ot Sachsengang, Nowtvery soldier knows that heavy cannon cannot be carried ofl in a contused and disorderly retreat, at least that many musf be sacrifices It is clear as the beams of day, therefore, that the retreat was an OHderly and undisturbed one. A retreating army must necessarily yield manv prisoners to me enemy, uut as the trench claim only 20y 000, it ia probable that the number actually ta ken iid not exceed halt that number. We are satisfied that the A ustriaa forces in this battle, did not exceed from 140 to 150,000, and the French, including . the, German contingents, must have been at lease 1 70 or 1 80,000. The killed and wounded, on both sides, could not be less than 70 or 80,000, and were probably nearly equal on each side. From the language of the 25th Bulletin, and tne terms ot the subsequent Armistice, we are convinced also,4 that Napoleon despairs of the Conquest of the Austrian hmpire, and wulevsn tually evacuate it with his whole force, either witr or without.a treaty. , :,'' From a London Paier, As Far as We were able - to iuderc. evctt .from the French accounts of the battle of Wagram, wo did not imagine tnat it was sucn a defeat as to rentier imme diate aubmisHion IndiBDensable Yet as the ft.ul K BwT bo uppoed trutthb Art Wuk would cot tT 'solicited as armisdee hid he had any hepe td Leinit bfe ta mk U4 agvinst tha tvmr.

A grand Barbacue was lately given in Frederick, to wards whuh, Samuel Smith subscribed 300 dollars. The inhabitants of that and several of the adjacent counties' attended. General Smith for himself, and Mr. Thomas and Com modore Barney in bpposition, -addressed the people in speeches at great length. 1 he event of the Contest is considered as very doubtful. The greatest exertions are making on both sides, and three or lour new newspapers have been established in the interest of Gen. Smith. The charge against General Smith, which at the present moment excites the most attention is, his having defrauded government of a sum of money. Mr. Gallatin in Ins Report, states the sum lost to he about a hundred thousand dollars. Gen. Smith's friends represent it to be only about sixty-four" thousand. 7'he fol lowing is believed to be a true, statement of the , transaction: , In the yeahl606 the house of S. Smith fcc Bdchannan of Baltimore, drew Bills on the house of Degan, Purviance & Co. of Leghorn, which were sold to government for the use of the Mediterranean fleet, and accepted. The hotise at Leghorn, who were agents for Smith & Buchannan, andat the aame time Navy A- gcius tor government, soon alter became bank, rupt, and Bills to the amount of 64,000 dol lars, or as Mr. Gallatin has Reported, 100,od6 dollars remain unpaid.. Mr. Smith is charg ed with being interested in the fraud, aud that at the time ot drawing he had no funds in the hands of the Drawees. Though strongly charged by his opponents, he is as warriify viu dicated by his friends. The. electioneering campaign opened in the county of Philadelphia, on' Monday last, with the battle of Spring Garden.
