Cadiz.]
Brave Spaniards ! whom the present mis
fortunes of cur country, have compelled to
seek refuge within the walls of (his city,
and where you have found a welcome re
ception ; one, associated in your disasters,
one, who like you, faithful to ottr beloved
Ferdinand VII, lias abandoned his property,
rather than be a slave or victim of a daring
enemy, now addresses you. This is the mo
■ ment to shew to the nation, to our August
f sovereign, and to the generous inhabitants
cf Cadiz, that if fate and our loyalty have
forced us to take refuge in this city, and to
consume part of the subsistence of its faith
ful citizens, we do not mean or wish to be
selfish or useless members of it, jin the de
fence of it against the common enemy.
On the emurary, let us hasten to present
ourselves to the junta of government, and offer
them our services. Those who are able to
bear arms, fly to the standard of our country !
and let those who are unfit for this service,
employ themselves in useful labours, or lend
their experience and information to govern
ment to mitigate their incessant fatigues.
Thus shall the people of Cadiz have reason
to bless the day of our arrival, and not con
sider us as a burthen to them under their pre
sent trying circumstances.
Although the contents of our Spanish
Gazettes indicates a crisis of peculiar trial,
therein nothing in them that evinces despon
dency in the government or the people. In
Cadiz particularly, a spirit of unconquerable
patriotism and detemined resistance is every
where maintained.
FROM SPAIN.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER.
Cadiz, Feb. 10.
The French army have at length advanc
ed to the coast without opposition ; between
Sierra Morcna and the coast they have an
army of 70 or 80,000 men, and they have
been able to mount their cavalry, having pos
session of the provinces where the finest hor
ses are raised. Victor, Junot and Soult are
at their head, and they have come on with
so little trouble, that they have brought their
ladies and their court retinue. The poor
Spaniards have been driven from the passes
of the Sierra Morena, which were deemed
impassable, have retreated, and driven to
their last retort. The army of the duke A1 •
berqurque about 13,000, effective, is or. this
island, and a reinforcement of 5000 British
troops looked for every wind. The affright
ed inhabitants of the country, have left
their homes with the little property they
could carry off, and flown to Cadiz for pro
tection. The junta here, fearful of a want
of provisions, have denied many of them ad
mission.—The whole is a continued scene of
the greatess distress and misery, rikI the mil
itary present an appeal mice of enthusiasm
and determined resistance.
The junta, composing the government of
the city of Cadiz, received on the6thinst.
at 7 o'clock in the evening, a boat with a
fiag of truce bringing the following despatch,
viz.
A*ost excellent Sirs,
“ Composing the junta of the1
representatives of the government of the city
ot Cadiz, and island ot Leon, the king our
master, Don Joseph Napoleon, having de
stroyed in Ocana, the army which thought to
possess itself ot Madrid, has forced the pas
ses of the Sierra Morena, and occupied, in the
course of a few days, the kingdoms of Cor
dova, Kaen, Granada and Seville, which
with acclamations of joy, have sworn allegi
ance to him as their king.—Such rapid op
erations can only be known as the offspring
of wisdom and military talent, and of forces
strangers to resistance. His majesty is now
on the shores of ihe bay of Cadiz animated
by the ncble sentiments which constitute his
character, is pleased to forget all injuries,
as none ottn be offered by those who know
him ; his sole wish is for the happiness of his
people and to put an end to a war, that can
only lead to the devastation of these envi
rons, and the destruction of the most illus
trious of its cities. With thie vie w, his ma
jesty has been pleased to encharge us witli
assurances to the government and inhabitants I
of the city of Cadiz, of the paternal senti
ments contained in the adjoined proclama
tion, and that they may depute such charac
ters as deserve their confidence to treat in
and settle with us the terms of the most in
tci esting conciliation, and, for the security
°* 3quadrou and arsenal which belongs to
the nation alone.

BANKS, «ce.
Mr. Love said he rose to ask. for information on
a subject which ho believed a majority of the
House were disposed to act on, during the pre
sent session j and yet with the lights the legisla
ture possessed on it, it would be iiiqios.Hible to act
umlerstandingly. The report of the Secretary
of the Treasury, of March !8o9, relative to the
continuation of the United Slates* bank charter
had certainly shed some information over the
community on the subject to which lie alluded
and had afforded statements which demanded
an investigation before the nation. The first he
would notice was that relative to the portion of
stock held by foreigners in the bank of the Uni
ted States ; a further enquiry into this circum
stance became now, when Congress was called
on to renew the charter of that institution, of ve
ry great imparlance. It is recommended by the
report to contract for placing our revenne depo
sits in the hands of Uiis institution, by agrecimr
for an interest on them—At that time 3-4ths
of this stock was held by foreigners, but the pri
ces of the United States* bank stork has been
from London quotations much higher rcj-ularlv
there than in our markets ; it is probable’there
fore, foreigners at this moment owe much more
ll 'l lUS b<!en a ",ore Pr°fi,ahle remittance
than bills or produce to any place we could carry
iVY}'■, thVMrderf in cou,lcil »'“i French decrees
If this has been the course, I wish to know (said
Mr. L.)to what extent it lias taken place, (not
because the evils arc not entirely sufficient which
this country labor* under from suffering three
fourths of this prolific fund to be in the hands of
foreigners, and allowing them to drain more (liar
eleven percent, on .t in specie from our country
annually, and which fias already amounted to
least ten millions of sjiecic) but also because it
may be important to know how this insvuti
on, When the stork shall aU have ^ “nto
foreign hands will move on. Jt L true it -
Secretary of the Treasury has, is his .
told us that foreigners have no vote, this Z m e!
sume, is a mistake, as foreigners are only nrohf
bitedto vote by proxy , if foreigners
and they hold a l the stock, the institution e.?£
—it they do vote, they are in possession of our
revenues. On this subject I will state one cir
cumstance, disclosed to a committee, of which I
had the honor to be a member, by ;t renilein
who solicited to be heard, on the 5 *
bank of the United States before that fnmni„'e
He told „s that the votes of late y^X'u for'
directors ol the bank, were very few_i»
and candor cannot be doubted—but the disclosure
is certainly instructive, and proves that
meose money en gine is at thi, moment wielded
by a tew American citizens, subordinate to an
immense majority of foreigners. There is noth
mg in the charter to prevent the elect i„.i from be
ing made b> our American citizens only • and ei
titer that mode may be adopted by foreigners of
managing our money concerns, and our revenues
torus or they may perhaps more wisely seni a
tew ot their own countrymen, who miy person
ally vote, for llie charter allows it. ^ ^
I think too, sir, the report of the Secretary of
he 1 rcasury has not fully stated the profits of
this institution, when he rates them at mily 8 3
tubs per cent, on its capital often millions ; it is
clear from tue average amount of discount debts
being fi t tee m millions, this must be the average
of dividend on active capital, consisting ,t tfce
tune of fits report ol only 7,770,000 doll*,, , t|lcv
^S,drC8ith.‘S,dl’awiD^ 8ix Percent. on 2^
2o 0,000 ol their capital in public stock, and this
T iu14 .Cn 0t P11^10 debtf they have e
v«r held. I wish to enquire something into this
subject too, be ore we decide on giving to this
foreign institution a further monopoly of our mo
ncy matters, which will cost the citizens of [his
-‘Sr miUl0n of 8pecie Per annum, as long
l will also ask for some further information —
An alarm has, within a lew days past,bee., sirontr
ly excted, that a refusal to continue the charter
<>f the bank company of the United States’ bank
wouid produce such terrible distress as was ne
ver witnessed before in this country. One tren
tleman has been heard to say, that unless it was
done, the 1 resident would be obliged »o convene
Congress specially for this purpose. We should
prepare, to counteract those impressions of #».
prehension, and to shew if correct information
can be obtained, that there is no cause of terror
or alarm. In order therefore to obtain the neces
sary information, I submit the following resoluti
OUJ,* ^h,c.11 1.s*oMU,e.,imtn*di*te consideration of:
Jfuoivnl, 1 hat the Secretary of the Treasti

“ That he stale to this House by what in/orma
tion he was enabled m his report of March 1H09
to the Senate, to fix the average of dividends of
saul bank at 8 3-8ths, precisely 8 13-34ths per
cent, per annum-and als« state the amount of
public stock or other public debt held by that in
stitut.oii on each first day of January since its
operation commenced. *
“ T,'at l,*e Secretary of the Treasury here
quested to inform this House, what is the amount
of capital reu.ned in Philadelphia, by the bank
oft he United States, and what the amounts there
of distributed to the brandies of that bank rcs
peetivdy.
What have been the average amounts of de
posits of public inwn.es in each of those banks in
any preceding year, or for the year 1303, if as
practicable to obtain it as any other, and whe
thcr the sum of 800,000 dollars in his report a
lore said, to be due from the state banks, to the
United State3 bank was dufl on account of d«po
»it» oi public inortii.v or not.”
Mr. Love also laid on die table, without requi
ring tli c immediate cotuideratton of it, the fol
lowing resolution :
“ Artnlvcd, That it is inexpedient to permit
the deposits of the I'evenue* of the United States
to be placed in any bank, the stock of9winch to
the amour.t of one half is he'd by personswho
are not citizens of the United States ”
The House agreed to eoi-sitler the resolu
tions, id to 30.
Mr. Quincy observed that as the gentleman’s
object was to obtain the names and numbers of
foreign stockholders, the resolution was too
bread. It might be that the names of the do
ineatic stockholders were hel l sacred by the
officers of the bank, and that it would he deem
cd improper to publisn them. If any great pub
lic advantage was expected to be derived from
obtaining the namta of the foreign stockholders,
•Vlr.t^ said he was willing to vote lor it, hut not
for the domestic. It was true, he said, that the
gentlemen who attended before the committee
had admitted that but lew stockholders attended
(tie election of directors, hut this proceeded not
from their limited number, but liotn the confi
dence Which was placed int*e directors of th»
bank, and their usual re-election without opposi
tion- He moved to amend the resolution l»y in

After a debate of two honrs
The question of order yesterday agitated was

Mr. Rhea moved that the further considera

brigadier general of tbe army of the United
States—.ami that the said committee have pow

It was agreed to by a large majority.

ERROR IN CENSUS LAW.
Mr. Fink observed that l.e hjid understood that
i a mistake had deem ed in the passage of toe act
for taking the census of the inhabitants of the
U. S. in enrolling it, so that at pre-ent it allowed
nine instead of/fo* months (as agreed to by both
Houses) to assistants to imke their returns, and
required the Marshals, under a penalty of 800
dollars, to make a return in seven months, two
months before they could have received them :
to remedy this error he moved the appointment
of a committee to bring in a jill.
Mr. Randolph seconded the motion, observing
that he had himself received a letter on the sub

A report was received from the Secretary of

We are authorised to state that more than the
requisite number of Shares have been subscribed
for in tiie Franklin Bank of Bultimure—and the

This is a proud proof of the independent spirit
of the mechanics of Jlahimone ; 20,573 Shares
were subscribed—being 573 beyond die whole

Mr. Elliott is the. brother of lord Minto.

at Madeira that the French decrees have
been altogether rescinded. Thus informa
tion is rendered probable by the restoration
of the schooner Hope and cargo of this port,
which had been carried into Leghorn by a
French privateer and there seauestered un

In reply to a paragraph which appeared in the
Gazotte of the United States of last Friday even
ing, we are authorised to state, that the suspen
sion in the pay inent of debentures which has ta
ken place at the custom house of this port, is
merely ol a temporary nature, and has been orca
sioneu by the great and unexpected demands for
drawbacks arising on goods (the duties where
on having previously been paid) became payable
in fifteen days after exportation. .
The inability of the col. at this foment to pay
the debentures which are due, does not proceed
from a deficiency in the public funds, there being
an adequate amount for that purpose in the bank
of the United States, but list ing been transfer
cd by him to the eredit of the United States, it
now beyond bis controtll. He has applied, ho w
ever to the secretary of the treasury, lor permis
sion to draw on the bank of the United States,
for a sum equivalent to the demands upon the
office, and will doubtless obtain it in a few days—
It may further be added, that the duties which
wili becVlin4 due, in a short time, will lie amply
sufficient lo meet (be engagements of the office.

J7“ We have received two letters from
Albemarle—each them is anonym on s —
each purports to give the substance of a
s/ieech of Colonel James Monroe, on the
day of the election for that county-but
each of them goes a step further ; and
makes comments on the nutter and man
ner of the Speaker. One is written in a
spirit of high commendation—the other, in
a spirit of severe censure, on this exposition
of his political creed.
We shall publish neither of them, as
they were written-their statements of
Col. M's speech, tally on many material
points—these shall be separately given—
they may, in some degree, serve to check
each other.
The strictures of neither shall be publish
ed—until the writers shall think proper
to make themselves known to us, and until
we shall have c clearer glimpse of the views,
principles and projets of Col AI.-It
would have been far better, if, standing
as he did, under such peculiar circum
stances, he had come forth with a Jrank
and explicit disclosure of his sentiments._
Hoes he approve of the administration of
James Aladison, or not—is he a friend to
it—or not? These arc the great, & almost
the only points, on which he was wished
to expatiate-*bul on these, he has said
nothing.
It is tc be wished, that Col. M. should
move with the republicans—that he should
have a clear and unclouded view of the
interests of his country, unjaundiced by
the views and resentments of men, who
would . lead him astray —-and that he,
who has fought and bled in the service of
his Country, should join with the “ repub
licans”in those measures, which her rights
and hey interests now require from the
hands of the best of her citizens-in those
principles, which Jejferaon, and AJadi,
son and their cam-patriots have struck
out, for her prosperity and honor—Tint
though the republicans will cultivate har
mony, where it can be. obtained-though
t/iei/will seek to preserve the integrity of
their party, they will know at t of tat point
to stop in their conciliation.
Auemarlk, April 5th, 1810.
! On the 2nd inst. the election of Represen- ,
tatives tor this county, to the state legisla- !
I tore, took place, ove of which was Colonel
j Monroe. His friends had frequently expres
sed a disposition to bring him forward as a
candidate, but was feartul that any advan
ces made to that effect would not he Agree
able to him, in consideration of the many
i more important tmsts he had enjoyed, and
the uniform prudence, ability and horn r,
with which lie hiftl discharged them ; on the
day of the election Colonel Monroe atten
ded, £c the wish of the people to confer their ■
suffrages upon him, provided he would serve
them, (of which they were doubtful,) was
communicated to him. After an address,
delivered by cne of the candidates, Colonel
Monroe came forward in a speech.
He obsei ved, that after an absence so
long, it was with peculiar diffidence, he
addressed his fellow_citizens. He was, how
ever, called upon, to give an answer to a
question, whether he would serve, if his
fellow-citizens should choose him, as their
representative in the Virginia Legislature f
He could not hesitate to answer in the allir
niative. He asked them to re trace his
life, and say, whether he had ever refused
an office, on account of its inferior rank, in
the scale of political importance ; and they
would find, on the contrary, that he hadal
ways been thankful for every station, that
his country had ever bestowed upon him —
True it was, that he would have to make
some sacrifices on the present occasion, to
sorve his fellow citizens, as lie knew, that
his domestic affairs would suffer in his ab
sence ; but the consideration of obeying the
call of his fellow citizens, with the hope
of being useful to his country, had ever been
with him, paramount to every other. Co!.
Monroe remarked, that at his time of life;,
after the many dangers, privations and
difficulties, which lie had braved in the set*
vice of his country, lie deemed it scarcely
necessary to declare his political opinions.
He had devoted his life to the support of
free government. He had fought and bled
for his country. lie was not only known in
his own state and in the United States, to
be a friend to liberty ; hut the crowned
heads of Europe look at him sternly, and
acknowledgi.' him a republican.
Mew that he was going down the hill of
life, now that he had grown grey in the scr
, vice of his country, it would be unreasonable
' to suppose, that he had deserted the sa
i cred pause of freedom. If his fellow citi
I ecus thought proper to confer their soft'a
ges upon him, that he would receive them
with the wannest sentiments of gratitude,
and would be. guided in every instance by
their will.——Should h« diifer from tin

“The election of state legislators, to Id
place yesterday in this cunty Mr. Coles
is re-elected—the other delegate is J*ines
Monroe. Being called or> fur a declaration
of his political creed, he deliver* d a specr.lt,

are the stronger features:
“I have been asked to lay open my poll'd.,
cal mind ! This demand astonishes me not
a little, tori had supposed, thsy: my polities
were well known to all my countrymen. I
have always been a republican-1 have
fought and bled in the cause of Rrepublican
ism I have supported it, for thirty years'
with my most strenuous exertions. When
persecuted and limited down by ihe federal
party, I returned to you, firm and unmoved;
Is it to be* supposed, tout l will, in tire noon
of life, abandon those principles, which have
ever actuated me, and join that party, by
whom I was once persecuted t If I was a
republican, when the republicans were the
minority, and had to struggle with an
overbearing force of opposition, is it proba
ble that 1 wiil cease lobe one, when, by our
exertions, v/e have acquired the command,
and when a republican sits at the helm of
State? I shall ever be ready to support the
administration, whilst I think, it acts with
propriety. I am confident, that you would
not wish me to support it, when it acts im
properly. Mr. Madison is a republican,
and so am I. As long as he acts in consis
tence with the interests of his country, I
will go along with him. \Vhen otherwise,
you cannot wish me to countenance Him.”
