Absconded from the Subscriber,
near Richmond, on Saturday last, a ve
ry black negro fellow by the name ol
ISAAC,
About five feet ten or eleven inches high,
remarkably thick lips, prominent brow,
beshy hair, and generally with a sulky
countenance. He is about 35 or jtO years
of age, was formerly the propeiifBf Wil
iam Radford, d ec’d. and frequency drove
his carriage, which tie has bincMaoe far
me—but ol late has been my waggoner.
He is a fellow of considerable! art and ad

will endeavor to get to tt»e counties o

IMPORTANT*
Extract of a lettrr from an American
gentleman in Paris, duted May 31 at,
per the I amafthmaah, from Liver
pool.
44 I hings nre daily growing worse,
and my hopes, which from the first
were feint, are entirely extinguished.
1 here is a report in circulation, that
an order has been sent to Bordeaux to
sequester any American funds which
may be in the hands of the merchants
of that place. This may not be well
founded ; bur, it will not surprize me.
- ^uvciumciH, are ex
tremelv vigilant in frustraing all psr*
tial arrangements. In Dunkirk, there
nas lately been iwo cases of ships cap
tured by priva'eers, who compromi
sed with the captors, one of which wm*
the America, of Philadelphia, and the
master payed the captors 100,000
francs, & immediately on taking charge
c jhisship, she was seized by the r,:h
c<*rs of government, and sequestered.
In short, I do not see any pro.ptct of
?ny American property undrr seizure
in this country being released.”

London, June 13*
Yesterday morning a mail from He
ligoland reached London, bringing a
series of L’Abeille du Nord to the 29th
ult. and letters from that island to 3th
inst. We have alf>o information one
day later from a passenger by the pack
et. The intercourse with the conti
nent had not been re-established. It
was supposed, that to the amount of
five milliohs stev-.h’^, in British man
ufactures and colonial produce, were
deposited on the Island: Alt the tanks
or reservoirs were exhausted, and ex
cepting what was impure or brackish,
the inhabitants were destitute of wa
ter.
Dutch letters were received yester
day morning to the date of the 7th
inst. Louis had not at that time left
Hoilaud, and the report of his abdica
tion of the throne appears to be wholly
unfounded.
June 15.
The accounts brought by the Opor
to Convoy are to the 22d ult. and from
the British army three clays earlier.
Th- French have been for some time
es ablishing large magazines of provi
sions at Salamanfca, from which it was
concluded that they "had some great
ent-rprize in contemplation. The force
of General J unot on that station is much
larger than has been represented, cou
sistinir of 1600 cnvalrv- nn-l 1 q nnr\ ;..
Iantfy* Letters from the north of
Spa n have also been received, viz. of
ihe 36th from St. Sebastian, and of the
3 Jth from Corunna. In Gallicia the
greatest ardour prevails among the
peasantry lor the defence of the coun
uy, but they are almost without arms.
It is(ntaied that the French are now
'iO.OOO Strong in the neighborhood of
Cuidad Roderigo and Salamanca ; ant
that no attack upon the allies was ex*
pected by the first conf^nient opportu
nity. • -v * *

J he Gth and concluding article, di

IVo Gottenburgh mails arrived *hie
morning, bpi,,which we have letter*
from Petersburgh to dip S3d, Irom
Konigshurgh to the 2»<h ol , and from
the port of departure jto the 11th intt,
At Peter sbtngh cojoryal produce and
Kusjun articles had ' undergone nr
material change in the pric«r, but the
Exchange had risen to 14 3*4-1. The
winter was one of the longest for m,inv
years knemn. The Neva was open
at Petersburg!!, but in a staid of con
gelation at Cionstadt. The JCobigs
iuurg tellers mention the a-rivai of i j
American ships, and tiiat no obxtrufc
lion was given to the discharge ol their
carg&es or to tra^le in any additional
respect. Int Goticnburgh letters no
tice that 13 ships from the Baltic with
corn, destined to this country, were
waiting fr>r convoy. They say, that
no disturbances had arisen in conse
squence of the death of Prince Augus
J tenburgh, and that preparations were
making for the meeting of the Diet to
nominate the new heir to the Swedish
Crown. One of our letters observe,
that apprehensions were felt that the
Government at Stockholm would issue
a prohibitory Decree to the injury of
our commerce, but it w ,s hoped that
1 e unpopularity of such a^ inea ure
would disappoint the intentions of the
French party in that capital.
1 he net produce of the Stamp Du
ties on Newspapeis and Almanacks,
for the year ending die 5th of April,
1809, amounted to 278,8461. 6s. 6d.
1 be duties on Advertisements for the
same period amounted to 106,2811. 3s.
8d. These sums do not include the
duties on Newspapers, Almanacks and
Advertisements in Scotland.
According to a calculation in a Par
isian Journal, the French Fmpire con.
tains at present the following popula..
tion :-Inhabitants who speak the
French language, 28,126 000; the
German 2,705,000/ tne Flemijh: 2,

Mot at South Shields Thrtttrt.
The repugnance evinced by the gen
erality of the inhabitan s of South
Shields, against the interested indivi
duals who lately sent an address 'to
iiis majesty, approving of the measures
of his Ministers towards Sir F. Bur
den, has been shewn in various in
i' seances, but to none so pointedly as cn
! Monday the 4th of June, iu rh* Thra
! where a play was bespoke by-Sh
( Cuthbert Heron, fkc. The piece w'ent
. quietly on, till that Gentleman, accoin
! panitci by Mr Buhner and others, en
Itered -the house, when the spiri: of the
audience seemed roused with indigna
i lion and contempt, and th - Theatre
resounded with “ Long live the King
j and Burden !” The gentlemen in the
I lower part ol the house must have con
ceived that treason lurked in these
, words, as they, with great lurv, ascen
ded among the gods,“where Sir Cath
ie loudly proclaimed every man a
traitor who was the friend of Burdett.
i o tkiis the lie direct Wj»s returned.
He then ordered his volunteers many
oi whom were present, to turn the Bur
• dettites out oi the Theatre ; hut his
orders were not obeyed. Mr. Buhner,
,j llien desired the friends of Sir Fran.
, c:3 to stand up, that they might be
. known ; his orders w’ere directly com
plied with. Matters now wore a se
t iious aspect, as a volunteer officer
was throv/n down, and many pressed
tow ards the spot where they had taken
i tr,e,r station, but they wisely retreated.
. j When they got below, Sir Cuthberi
i stood up, and made a loner speech.—
J Alter this, the actors were allowed tc
[ proceed.
Letters from France arrived yester
day morning, by which it appears thal
Bonaparte has refused to grant any
more licenses for the exportation of

tinctly explained.

A considerable number or Ameri
cans have been discharged from our
ships of war in the West Indies, in
Obedience to orders from the Admi
ralty.
We have received Dutch papers to
the 11th inst. but thiir contents are
not interesting. The only article in
them that deserves <0 be m< mioned,
|is a Commercial Decree, issued by
, K-*ng Louis, which, however, is nwt
' sufficiently important to render it ne
! cecsary to iniert the article i > urtail.
I principal object is to alter ihe line
j of dcimrkation, within which (with
i i.'inc except! wisj ail magazines, de
po s, or warehouses of colonial pro*

We have receiv d French papers
to the 11th, and Dut-h to the l-ish.
j i hev contain some h> g'buc un;nc..n st

Respecting the affairs of Span*,
the Paris papers of the 10th inst. con=
tun the following articles.*—
Paris, Jane 10.
Letters from Bayonne, of the fid
inst. speak of the uninterrupted passage
of troops through that town fbr Spain.
—Among those reinforcements are. a
bout 500 ar:illery men, who were im
mediately followed* jhy a number of
caissons, &c. We daily expect the
arrival of 8000 fusilee-s of the impe
rial Guard, who are to "proceed to
Burgos, where they arc to remain tifi
further orders. The sharp-shooters
and chasseurs of.the Fbnperiul Guards
begin to arrive jfere-. They have been
reviewed, and their fine military air Sc
discipline excite the admiration of all
who see them.
According to letters from Spain, his
Majesty King Joseph will not remain
long in that city, but is on the j»oint of.

momn to mure than 80,000.—It is
further said to be in motion f >r Ciu
dad Roderigo, where the Anglo-l-\»r
u .ue e army have collected almost
:he whole of their force. It is not
supposed that the English will risfc
the issue 6; a battle. We expect in a
tew days to receive very interesting
intelligence from that quarter.
By letters from Bilboa, we are in
formed, that General Bonnet fell in
with a band of insurgents near Oviedo,
oF which he made 600 prisoners, and
put the remainder to flight.
We have seen several letters from
the English prisoners in France, bro’t
by rhe late cartels from Morlaix. They
all speak in confident terms of the spee
dy restoration of peace between the
twv» countries— -an expectation which
is at this time very generally enter
tained throughout the French empire,
and most arxiously desired and wish
ed for by people of all ranks through
out that country. — -—Id consequence
of this expectation, the situation of our
prisoners had been for some time past
greatly ameliorated ; theiFconfinement
is now by no means rigorous, and ex
tra allowances of provisions havtrbeea
granted.——Such of she women and
children as are able, are permitted to
work, and provisions of all kinds be
ing plentiful and cheap, they are ena
bled to live tolerably well, and to rent
tier the captivity of their husbands less
irksome. The prisoners who last came

,Kindness from tne inHabitants ot the
places through which they parsed, ma
ny of whom would continually shake
them by the hand, congratulate them
on their return home, and express the
