The awful and alarming cents now pass
ing in the world, and vitally affecting the
prosperity and safety of the United States,
mtht rouse the anxiety of every true Ame
rican. of whatever party, that men possess
ing solid wisdom, information and experi
ence, united with a firm and unshaken at
tachment to the constitution, liberties and
of Vfrair own country, may be se
*Je<M<l for the important and arduous oration
ofßepreaanthtma in Congress. We have
every assurance, fellow-citizens, that such
**r the candidates above presented for our
suffrages. Their unsullied characters, and
st long course of publick services, ably ar.d
faithfully pet formed, have justly acquired
them the confidence of a free and virtuous
people. With that liberality, candour and
impartiality becoming men who value their
#wi> rights, and respect those of others, let
the freemen inquire and judge for them
selves; and let thlin reflect that on their
tjecision now, may depend the future peace,
happiness and freuiom of this great and
rising nation,
LATEST FROM PORTUGAL.
Tne brig Charles, has arrived at' New-
* York from Lisbon, Her accounts, which
are to the 29<.h of June, convey the follow
ing intelligence :
“ That the French armies under Gen
erals Kellerman and Bernier, were ad
vancing towards Gallicia. Lord Welling
ton's head-quarters were at Celorico, the
remainder of the army aft Guada, Fr.inco
sa and Piuhel. Th? orders of the 22d of
June,* were, for the soldiers to retain only
ooe shirt each, and to send all th? heavy
baggage tq Coimbra. Exclusive of the
, army under Lord Wellington, 9000 men
were at Portoalegre, commanded by Gen
eral Hill, in the whole about 70,000 regu
lar Portuguese and English troops, be
sides militia. The army tinder General
Hill was becoming jealous of the move
ments of a part of the French army com
’ tnanded by General Regnier, who was ad
vancing 6y way of Alberquerque, with
about 18,000 men. On the 15ih and 20th
of June, the French made incursions near
Badajoz, and succeeded in carrying off all
the cattle in the way. General Masse
na's head-quarters were near Ciudad Rod
rigo, which place was invested by the
French, but no attack had been made ; it
appearing to be their intention to force a
’ capitulation by famine, in which it was
probable they would succeed, the city be
ing in want of every necessary, aud would
probably fall in a few days. The French 1
-.forces are estimated as follows Near
Ciudad Rodrigo, under Massena, 40,000;
on the frontiers cl Gallicia, 20,000; in the
vicinity of Badajoz, 18,000 under Regnier,
and about the same number under General
Laborde. The English were destroying
the harvest wherever they retreated.
“ There were five lines of defence be
tween Listen and the English army, in the
Several Members of the present Congress
—of all parties—have declined being con
sidered candidates for re-election, Some
of them have had the magnanimity to ac
knowledge. they have felt, by ex;M.rience,
that their talents and knowledge were not
adequate to a right understanding of the
measures essential to bu adopted to extri
cate the United States from the degraded
and plundered situation into which they
have been sunk, by the folly, partiality and
indecision of Rulers. It fa a •• conaummation
devoutly to be wiahed," that this example
of magnanimity will find a general imita
tion. Our National Councils ought to be
filled with none but men of the fit st rate
talents, true American patriotism, steady
nerve, undeviating Impartiality, and genu
ine statesmanship. And if In those wha
have inadvertently been jostled out of their
sphere into office, these requisite* are not
found—and they will not decline being Can
didates—the people of all parties—who feel
and suffer the degradation of their coun
try,disregarding all pitiful, unmeaning par
ty names— -ought to discard them Without
hesitation or apology ; and elect men who
have wisdom to discern, and firmness to
pursue, the solid in Crests of the nation.—
The period is approaching when tb* ruler*
of the nation for the two past years,

" Since I had the pleasure of writing you
on the Ist inst. I have heard that it is sup
posed and feared by many Americans at
Paris, who have property depending, that
an order on the part of the government
will be issued to revoke the decisions of
the Council of Prizes already made, where
the compromise has been made with the
captors, and prevent any fm ther ratifica
tiona by said Council. It is said, thaLwheii
the Einperour was at Dunkirk, of late, hi
saw two American ships preparing to sail,
inquired the cause, and found that the)
had arranged with their captors, when
he ordered them eeized immediately ! It
wc * d appear by this, that the giving up
any part <»f the cargoes to the Americans
is contrary co the meaning and spirit of the
late decrees. The amount of the thing is,
that if the Council cannot ratify die com
promise, if tried and not condemned to th*
captors, then the government will seyuca
ter the properly as they do those not
brought in as priaer."
The ship George Dyer has arrived at
Baltimore from Bourdeaux, wnich she left
the Bth June. The reports by her are only
echoes of those by the passengers from her
which have arrived at New-York. [Pu6-
liahed in the last American.] —Very little
information transpires : But all agree, that
no changes—excepting from very bad to
worse—had taken place in the relations
between France—or rather the Despot of
France—unu the United States. Napo
leon appeared determined that the people
of the United States should feel that he
was as “ pre-eminent" for pillage, as for
warlike talents; and uo hopes were enter
tained of any remuneration of the Ameri
can property seized, sold, and appropri
ated. Mr. Consul Lee had taken the ship
Ann, to convey himself, and other Ameri
cana home. The Sally, Captain Scott, was
d «ily expected at Bourdeaux; but when
General Armstrong would embark in her,
was mere matter of conjecture.
Arrived at this port, on Tuesday even
ing,, the Ulyase* Captain Porrington, in
40 days from Liverpool. The papers by
this arrival are to June 25 ; Init they con
tain very little intelligence of any interest
to the American reader. The las date
states, “ that the Island of St. Marian, in
the Adriatick, had been captured by the
English ; that the Dutch fleet were fitted
up for some expedition; that,a French
Consul bud arrived at Stralsund, seized
ihe shipping, and closed the magazines
and ware-houses; that the Captains, and
part of the crews of two vessels had been
shot, for violating the prohibition imposed
by the anti-commercial decrees of Bona
parte ; that the Duke of Oldenburg, a
near relation of the Empetour Alexander,
was mentioned as the successor to the
throne of Sweden." Rotton Gazette.

be—Consult the annals of the Federal Ad

their Firmness, Consistency, Honesty, and
Impartial Neutrality. They then raised
their country from insignificance to glory,
from poverty to wealth, honour, and re
spectability. A return of that policy will
