Latest Foreign Intelligence.
From French papers, received at the office of the Commercial Advertiser.
PARIS, July 31.
It is a picture of high importance to take a view of the present situation of France relatively to Russia, and of the menacing position of Russia with regard to the rest of Europe! An enlightened publicist has just thrown a great light upon this matter; but it may still be looked upon in some different points of view, when it will appear that the delays used in the negotiations opened for peace, have only been occasioned by England, and for her own interest alone; that the pretended aggrandizement of France, which has served as a pretext for these delays, is a natural effect of the present position of Europe; and that, far from alarming the neighboring powers, this preponderance of France is become necessary to their interest and to their independence. Let us briefly examine these several questions.
The history of the two last centuries proves pretty clearly that England has never made war upon the Continent, but through an interest purely personal. It is only vulgar politicians who are the dupes of the pretences with which the court of London has always sought to veil its ambitious pretensions: the independence of Europe is the usual protocol of the warlike messages of his Britannic Majesty; but it is well known that his aim is, to consecrate, to augment, and to perpetuate that maritime Empire which he thought himself arrived at without opposition. France has ever appeared the particular object of the hatred of England, because she is more able than the other states to resist her pretensions. As long as the Hollanders had powerful colonies, a flourishing trade, and a formidable navy, Holland was also the object of the same enmity. Spain was for a long time subject to it, and it is to the intrigues of England that she is to attribute the separation of the Kingdom of Portugal and the hereditary hatred which has since been kept up between the two nations. Austria herself was the object of her gloomy inquietude, when that power attempted last century to raise a navy and to create a trading company at Ostend.
England has adhered more particularly to her hatred against France, because France has held out against her with more determined resistance, because the national industry of France creates to her more dangerous rivals, because her situation among the powers of southern Europe, favors more strongly the development of her opulence and of her industry. The least advantages that France has obtained either by victories or by treaties, have been considered as usurpations made over England. At the time of the succession of Spain, William would rather have beheld the crown of Spain, the Low-Countries, Italy and the Empire united upon the same head, than that the Grand-Son of Lewis XIV. should have ascended the throne of Spain. However, this was exposing Europe to see the Universal Monarchy of Charles V. renewed; and there had been an end to liberty, had France been defeated in that general war.
England has seen all the revolutions of the North without troubling herself about their effects or their consequences: she has beheld 10 millions of new subjects pass, from 1774 to 1795, under the dominion of Catherine II.; she has seen provinces invaded, whole kingdoms usurped: it seemed that if all this was going forward a thousand leagues from Europe, and yet it was in the very midst of it that that power was insensibly rising, which is at this day so colossal, which at once menaces both Europe & Asia! However, the cession of a few maritime departments, which made a part of ancient France, has alarmed England more than so formidable an Empire: England has caused rivers of blood to be shed, for the purpose of ascertaining whether French men should remain united to France. Victory has decided the question.
It would be highly astonishing, that the union of Genoa to France should be the cause of a new continental war. It might in the first place be observed that no power upon earth has the right to interpose between the will of two independent nations that wish to unite themselves to each other. Were Sweden disposed at this day to acknowledge the Emperor of Russia, no other state could, without injustice, oppose a contract made between these two nations. Nobody ever thought of opposing the union of Ireland with England; it is an act absolutely free between states, and Russia has by far too much to gain by this system, to find fault with it.
Besides, no opposition was ever made to Genoa's putting herself under the protection of France, which she has been so often forced to implore. It is of little concern to Germany, to Russia, to all the other powers that Genoa should belong to France; since she adds nothing to her continental force. The first decree issued in Genoa by the Emperor of the French, established that there shall be no conscription there for the army. It is then merely with regard to the navy that Genoa is of any advantage to France; and even this advantage can only be made use of against England. Hence it is England alone that has any interest in preventing this union. Now all nations must wish that there should at length arise a people who, preserving their independence and the dignity of their navy, may restore to the others the liberty of their commerce and the honor of their insulted flags.
Now if it be examined what force and preponderance France should have for her own safety; for the defence of the rest of Europe, she will hardly be found sufficiently powerful.
She is the most ancient monarchy in Europe: at different periods she has had the preponderance, without having ever attempted to encroach on the general liberty; she has, on the contrary, often defended it against the incursions of barbarians: she shielded it from the monarchy of Charles the Fifth. She was more powerful under Charlemagne, she was as formidable under Lewis XIV. The weakness of a government is no prescription of forfeiture for the nation: when there appears a sovereign worthy of it and of his rank, he is bound to restore to his people the lustre they had lost under degenerate kings. This is what the emperor of the French has done.
The present situation of Europe, the changes effected in the other states had rendered the increase of France necessary. This subject has already been too clearly developed to need any further investigation. It suffices to observe that there is this difference between the power of France, and that of Russia, that France has natural bounds, and the other will acknowledge none; that France borders on all sides, upon the great states, upon which she neither can nor will make acquisitions unless a new war should again bring the political existence of nations into dispute, that France has religiously respected the territory of her allies, that she is arrived at the term at which she must naturally stop; that if she is powerful by her population, this population can scarcely augment, that she is by her nature a FIXED STATE making an independent member of the great European family, sufficiently potent to defend herself, but impotent to oppress.
Russia, whom the cabinet of London invokes in the name of the independence of other nations, is no doubt very far from affording them the same guarantee. Every step she proceeds is an advance towards universal empire. Her emperor more powerful in territory than all the monarchs of Europe, has only to leave it to time to render him also the most formidable in population. By a wise administration disembarrassed of foreign influence, by giving a free exercise to the industry of his people, he can make more real conquests than by devouring new provinces. Nothing seems more contrary to his interest, at the present moment, than a war which should dry up the source of his population without aim, without any reasonable hope unless it be to prolong for some time the maritime empire of England.
There is nothing but the case of a war so strange, so hurtful to the interests of the emperor of Russia, that seem capable of delaying the progress of his enormous increase of power.
When one reflects indeed that it is not above an 100 years since Peter the Great came, at the head of a new and barbarous people, to take place among the powers of Europe, & when one examines the gigantic increase of his empire in so short a time, one must tremble at the idea of the formidable pressure with which the rest of the earth is menaced by Russia; and it is impossible not to repeat to one's self, that it was from the heart of that vast empire, that formerly issued those clouds of barbarians, who inundated and subdued almost every part of our hemisphere.
Europe is blind to the insensible progress of a power who finds no more enemies to vanquish around her, and who perhaps carries her hopes very far. It is possible that the sharing of the Mediterranean, of the trade of the North and of Asia may for some time unite England and Russia. It belongs to the other powers involved in a double servitude, to foresee the dangers that menace them. It is no longer time to suffer ourselves to be dazzled by parcels of territory which might be offered to
mask more important usurpations. The general interest requires that the great states of Europe should keep themselves closely united; they are in some measure bound to stand by each other. Universal monarchy cannot come from him whom nature has confined within just bounds; it is useful to the others that he is able to defend himself, to inspire some respect, to prevent the ruin of states menaced from afar, and to afford a counterpoise which the South of Europe has been long in need of, against the vast and devouring ambition of the North.
August 3.
By the late English papers it appears that the disquiétudes renewed at London upon the destination of the combined fleet were not yet calmed; neither were the people more at ease, as to the co-operation of the continental powers with which the ministry flattered themselves. In France this incertitude has not influenced the price of stocks. Hence it may be concluded that either people do not believe a war will take place on the continent, or that they are in no dread of its results.
The suspension of the diplomatic relations between France and Russia may have given rise to incertitudes; but there is yet no plausible reason for doubting of the pacific dispositions of Austria, and until such reasons appears professed politicians may, we conceive adjourn their conjectures. Exaggerated pretensions, self love, hurt or irritated by foreign provocations, may for a moment delude sovereigns like other men—but in the end they always yield to evident interest. It may then appear doubtful that Russia should again consent to sacrifice a fine army in a war from which she can reap no benefit unless indeed calculating the losses, she foresees they will diminish the power of Austria, she must always consider her as a neighbor with whom she must soon have to discuss more serious interests.
But p p Russia to have hostile views does it follow that Austria must share them? This is a question no way difficult to solve.
A coalition between Russia and Austria against France, must be considered by every man who reflects upon the respective position of the three nations, as the most absurd and impolitic scheme that could be imagined. A league is natural between two nations, when they have a common interest to guide them, and equal benefits to expect. Here every thing being separate, every thing unequal, they are essential seeds of dissolution.
Let Russia again send an army into Germany or Italy! the war would necessarily be carried on upon the territory of the emperor of Austria, his people alone would bear the load of it. Should it turn out to be successful jealousy must soon divide the chiefs of the two armies. The Russians would complain of making conquests for others; hence the distrust and discord of which the coalition of last war felt the fatal effects.—If on the contrary the war should happen to be unsuccessful, the Austrians would not fail to grow tired of laboring incommodeous and useless guests, and the coalition would the more speedily be dissolved.
But it will be said Austria might give indemnities to Russia, towards the North and East. A sad policy indeed to give up empires to obtain a few petty provinces!
That there has long subsisted in the Russian cabinet a system to subdue successively the small independent nations situate between Russia and the Persian and Turkish dominions, events have sufficiently proved.
That that cabinet has even formed more serious designs with regard to the Ottoman Porte, cannot at this day be doubted. In this state of things, it is more important for Austria to retain France at the foot of the Alps, than to stop Russia at the northern extremity of the Black Sea?
It may be recollected, that when the Ottoman Empire was in its full splendor, Austria, forgetting all her quarrels with France, tho' only of supporting the barrier which she opposed to the progress of the Mussulmans.
However, at that period she was menaced only upon one point; she had only Hungary to defend; Poland was a powerful ally; all the Christian powers afforded her assistance. At the present day Russia shows herself more powerful and more dangerous; she is able to attack on every point. Where it true that she meditated the usurpation of the Ottoman empire, what indemnity could secure the Emperor of Austria? Throughout the whole of that vast monarchy there is only Servia, the Morea with Constantinople and the exclusive possession of the Dardanelles, that could afford him an equivalent. But can
any body doubt that Servia, the theatre of the present seditions and anarchy, is on the point of imploring the protection of Russia? Who but knows that the sovereignty of the Seven Islands seems already to necessitate that of the Morea; and has not Constantinople been looked upon for this century past as a palace destined for some future day for the residence of the Russian Emperors?
Thus, in the supposition of their grandizement, we can see no reasonable compensation for Austria. It is her manifest interest then to guard against this extension with more precaution than she formerly took against that of the Ottoman power, to cide with the causes of the south rather than with that of the north. In this all the continental nations have the same wishes to form, viz. that the energy of the French government may communicate itself to the others; that Persia, and above all the Ottoman Porte, may assume civil and military manners more adapted to the defence of their liberty; that these powers, once independent, may form with those of Europe a family, in which the equilibrium of the political fortunes may henceforth not permit any of those revolutions which re-plunge nations into barbarism, and destroy for several centuries the benefits of civilization.
Advices from Corfu state that a Russian general there commands eight battalions of Albanese; and Maniots, all determined enemies to the Musselman name. These levies have excited great displeasure amongst the Turks of the Morea, and particularly of Ali Pacha. The S. S. glio also is highly discontented with the mode of conduct adopted by Russia, but what can it do, weak as it is? Be silent, and thus perhaps receive the blow a little later.
[Moniteur]
By an imperial decree, the members of the Legion of Honor are to be augmented by 2000. The grand chancellor of the Legion is to present, before the first of Vendemaire next, to the nomination of his majesty the emperor and king, the 2000 new legionaries, who, for this time, are to be chosen from among the officers and soldiers who distinguished themselves in the war, and who have received at least one wound.
The Moniteur of Monday last published the sentences of the Military commission, which condemned to death on the 6th inst. Andre Lax, convicted of being a spy for the enemy and of being an accomplice with Dubuc and Rosselin. According to the report of the captain reporter, Lax was employed on board the Toulon Fleet when that place was evacuated by the English, he followed them to England, where he lived 11 years, and received £ 50. a year sterling from the government. On the 12th Nivose, year 12, he returned into France by Morlaix, in the false quality of prisoner of war, and on board a cartel. It is also in the same quality, and by the same way that Dubuc and Rosselin were afterwards sent from Eng and to France. Lax who had set off from Morlaix, with a passport given under the false name of Michael, a cook, arrived in his country at Pau, procured a passport in his own name for Spain, and after having thus collected every information concerning the situation of the coasts from Morlaix to Corrunna, returned to England and gave an account of his mission. A short time after he quitted England a second time, and returned to France by way of Hamburg, after having had his passport revised by the French Plenipotentiary of Lower Saxony. The papers and confessions of the accused have proved that he was sent to Dubuc, by the English government for the purpose of engaging the latter to press the execution of the scheme which was the grand end of his journey.
In a letter dated the 14th of May, written by d'Imbert, and addressed to Dubuc, is the following phrase: "I intreat you to give him (to Lax) the most circumstantial details concerning the best and quickest means to attack the usurper." By this letter, d'Imbert informed Dubuc, that he had just sent him an emissary with some sympathetic ink. This emissary was denoted under the name of Michel. It is proved by the confession of the accused, that Michel is Andre Lax. He arrived at Paris on the morning after his accomplices had been condemned, and he was ignorant of their being arrested. He forwarded them the letters and phial, or sympathetic ink which he had brought with him, but the sentence against Dubuc and Rosselin burnt on him like thunder. He hastened to take a place in the diligence but was soon arrested and condemned, and as we have already related suffered the punishment of his treason a few days since.
Notice is hereby given, THAT there will be no market for Butcher's meat on Sunday, from this time 'till the first of May.

SALEM, September 27.
Further accounts by captain Williams, from Leghorn.
Captain Williams informs us, that the extension of Bonaparte's authority in Italy, which threatens to light up a new war upon the continent of Europe, appeared to be very mortifying to the people of that country. It was with great reluctance that she changed her flag for that of France; and though she was promised the enjoyment of her ancient laws, customs and usages, yet on the change of government, they found themselves under a set of new laws, and every regulation adapted to the basis of the protecting country.
Naples continued to be over-awed by the French, though they had not yet attempted to enter that kingdom; but it was said that national contributions were the price of their forbearance, and that they threatened to invade it, the moment a British or Russian soldier set foot upon its shores. A British 74 gun ship was still in waiting to take off the King and his family the moment such an event should take place.
The British expedition under gen. Craig had arrived at Malta, where they seemed to be waiting to act according to the course of events. The Russians had also 30 or 40,000 men in the Seven Isles, and a number of ships of war in the bay of Naples. — In these forces, probably, that check the French in their design on Naples, as their passage to that city would be short and easy, and they would no doubt proceed to oppose the French, should they make a movement towards it.
The naval force of the British in the Mediterranean, since lord Nelson left it to follow the track of the Toulon squadron, was very inconsiderable, the ship of the line that was lying at Naples, said to be the only one remaining in that sea.
The impression made by the American arms upon Tripoli seems not to have had its proper effect upon the Bey of Tunis, who is represented to be a resolute, determined fellow. It will be recollected that our squadron, while blockading Tripoli, took a Tunisian corsair with her two Neapolitan prizes, attempting to violate the blockade.
This the Bey has affected to consider as an aggression against him, and has continually demanded reparation from the U. States, or threatened them with war; and all attempts to settle the dispute have hitherto failed.
A few days before captain Williams left Leghorn, a letter was received there from an officer on board the Essex frigate, written to his friend, an American gentleman, at Leghorn, and dated at Messina, about the middle of July, stating that that frigate and a brig had just returned from Tunis, where they had been, by order of the Commodore, to demand of the Bey an unequivocal determination with respect to the relations of peace and friendship with the United States; and that his answer confirmed by the oath by his beard, was, that if the United States did not restore his corsair and her prizes in sixty days, he would make war upon them. This news excited alarm among the Americans at Leghorn; which was increased by an arrival of an imperial vessel from the Isle of Elba, reporting that two Tunisian chebecs were there bound on a cruise. The Tunisian coast is extensive, and has many bays and harbors, so that a blockade could not be so effectual against that power as against Tripoli, and her opportunities of giving annoyance would be much greater. However, had the Bey been seriously determined on war, one would have thought he would have undertaken it, while we were engaged with the Tripolitans, when it must have divided and weakened our force.
The commerce of Venice, under the Austrian flag, has greatly revived, and recovered something of its ancient importance.
That of Russia with the Mediterranean, through the Black Sea, is also very great, and vast quantities of wheat are transported into Italy through that channel.
The condemnation of our vessels at Gibraltar, which were taken coming out of Cadiz, Captain Williams says, was much reprobated even by the British at that place. The vessels taken, had entered when there was no blockade, and was arrested in coming out.
The case of one, as stated, was peculiar. By hard; she was in the first place taken by the Spaniards and carried into Cadiz, where the cargo was condemned as British property, and the freight paid the master on wine and salt; with these proceeds she was coming out of Cádiz, when she was taken by the British and sent into Gibraltar and there condemned vessel and cargo.
The conduct of the Spanish gun-boats in the gut of Gibraltar, towards Americans, continued to be extremely insulting and injurious. They board and plunder our vessels, and on the least opposition threaten the people with death. The master of the Java, of this port, was threatened, with a drawn cutlass at his throat. In short, from the many instances of this kind which are related, it seems as if they considered the expected war between Spain and America as already begun.
Indeed from the aggressions of the French and English, the unsettled accounts with Spain on the score of their old depreciations, and the recent renewal of the same scenes, and the dispute with the Bey of Tunis, our commerce seems to be in a hazardous state, and to demand all the skill of our government to extricate it from the difficulties in which it is involved.
The last post from Naples before captain W. left Leghorn, brought the distressing tidings of a terrible earthquake which had destroyed a whole town in the neighborhood of that city, and by which two thousand persons were supposed to have perished; and that the signs of further shocks continued, so that the greatest consternation and alarm prevailed in Naples, and the inhabitants had crowded on board the shipping, from an apprehension that that city would be involved in the destruction; and the vessels, from the same apprehension, had thought it prudent to haul off from the mole, and drop down into the bay, to be more safe from its effects.

FROM FRANCE.
Yesterday arrived the brig Shipwright, Doak, in 47 days from Bordeaux. Capt. Doak has politely furnished us with the following extract from his log book, respecting the
COMBINED FLEET.
On the 16th Aug. at 4, A. M. moderate clear weather, wind N. E. by E. described a fleet bearing S. S. W. distance 4 leagues under easy sail—also a small ship bearing N. N. W. distance 2 1/2 leagues. A frigate and line of battle ship gave us chase at 9 A. M. in lat. 44 3 long. 13, 18, west—was boarded from the latter, and found them to be French; could not learn where they were from, nor their destination: after examining our papers, they ordered us to steer N. W. all day & night; the fleet was steering W. S. W. The small ship proved to be English, and from every appearance a Lisbon packet, homeward bound, which they took and after stripping of sails, rigging, &c. set her on fire. The number of the fleet was thirty-four. 16th. at 2 P. M. the ships to windward (five line of battle ships and a frigate, all under English colors) bore up to join the fleet. 18th. at 9 P. M. was boarded by a Spanish privateer, treated politely, and informed, that the above mentioned fleet was from Coruna and Vigo—and the small ship, burnt, was an English Lisbon packet, bound home with much specie on board.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4.
On the subject of the retreat of M. Novoziltzoff from Berlin, and which occasioned the fiery Notes of His Corsican Majesty of France and Italy, an able and authentic London paper has the following observations:
Upon the departure of M. Novoziltzoff three things suggest themselves; the probability of a war altogether, the period of its commencement, and the powers likely to be engaged. The first point may easily be despatched. The language of the first Manifesto plainly shews that the insult offered to M. Markoff was never forgiven by Alexander, and that he had resolved by some means, either by negotiation or war, to resent it towards France. The existing disagreement between Russia and France, says the Manifesto, have placed insurmountable obstacles in the way of negotiation for peace by a Russian minister. This language is as strong as a declaration of war; it disclaims even the desire of peace from a consciousness that insults have been offered which the sword can only avenge. The determination of Russia is fixed; and the spirit of Bonaparte, though it can sometimes grovel for its purpose, is too haughty and unbending to attempt propitiation, which is rejected by anticipation, and voted useless a priori.
The period in which the war will be commenced is a matter of doubt. Russia, though the most extensive power of the world, and indeed, almost a division of the globe in herself, has many advantages in contending with Southern Powers, or which remoteness is not the least. Austria and France have both larger standing armies than Russia, and soldiers already initiated, the one by victory, the other by defeat, into a system of tactics which Suwarrows despised, and the contempt of which produced his ruin. Moreover, the finances of both are greater than those of Russia, who, in the infancy of trade and taxation, cannot be expected to have that copiousness and regularity of supply which the economists of modern Europe, have derived from a long system of commerce and cultivation.
A Russian army, therefore, coming to the South must be in a great measure a subscription army; it must subsist on the sword and eat its way to the enemy. There is no doubt but England will be open handed with her subsidies; but to maintain a hundred thousand men in a month's march before they can even see the enemy, is what the prodigality of our present Minister can scarcely venture upon.
We fear Russia has credit for more power than she really possesses; we all remember, about fifteen years ago, when the Armies of Great Britain, Sweden and Prussia, compelled Catharine to relinquish Oczakow, and give peace to the Turks, whom she had already subdued to her hands; the former port indeed she acquired soon after, but the Ottoman Power, unopposed by European alliances, and in a period when the confusion of the Continent left to the Court of Peterburg any step it chose to pursue, has remained safe in the neighborhood of this great Power, who cannot be supposed to forbear an attack from motives of moderation or virtue.
Without Russia nothing can be done on the Continent to restrain France: but too sanguine expectations must not be raised; Austria is equally necessary to Great Britain, and must form the key stone of the alliance.
As to the commencement of the war, all are agreed that the present season is too far advanced; but this is no disadvantage; time must be given for preparation, and the months in which an army cannot march, may be employed in discipline and recruiting. Russia having resolved to go to war is a great thing gained; having quarrelled in a cause which she calls her own, she cannot mean to conduct the contest at our expence; she will do the best, and cannot send, for her own interest, an insufficient army to cope with France.
In regard to Austria, the alliance is chiefly made for her protection, and there is no other fear respecting her than that she may suffer from the first onset of the enemy, who will doubtless seize the opportunity of attack before allies can come to her assistance.
FROM THE UTICA PATRIOT.
We cannot but notice, with some astonishment, the following extraordinary paragraphs, which appeared in the "Freeman's Journal" of the 4th instant. This Journal is the official paper of governor M c Kean and his adherents; those honest patriots, who, heretofore, and till very lately, were the declared and open enemies of the federalists.
"The constitution of Pennsylvania (says the writer in the Journal) as ordained and established by the people themselves, was framed by men of different political sentiments selected and distinguished from their fellow-citizens, for their wisdom and experience. It was framed, signed, and recommended by the ablest statesmen of the age, before the mushroom politicians of the present day had arisen from their original obscurity. &c. &c."
This is indeed, gentlemen, a precious confession. You have without reserve, and in the most ample manner, paid that homage to the talents and virtues of the distinguished statesmen of your state to which they were justly entitled; but in doing this you have put the seal to your own infamy. You were the first disturbers of that political happiness and the destroyers of that greatness to which you seemed to be destined, from the wise institutions of your political fathers. It was you who first erected the altar of democracy, on which has been sacrificed every thing that was good and great in the state: and you yourselves have assisted as zealous high priests, with unhallowed passions, with demoniac fury, in bringing to this altar its devoted victims. You first opened the floodgates of political discord, and called to your aid the passions and prejudices of an ignorant populace.—It was you who gratuitously fed the rapacious jaws of a calumniating press, and administered to the support of a wretch who, by the confession of one of your party, you then knew to be a villain, of the "first water." It was from you this infamous reviler received countenance and support, when, with the spirit of an infernal, he was denouncing the great and good Washington, and loading him with unparalleled abuse. And it was you gentlemen, who raised these mushroom politicians, as you are pleased to call them, from their original obscurity. You were the cause, and now, unpitied the "most accursed effect" of your present political evils. With what face then, can you make the following appeal—
"The Federalists, who, with their brethren throughout the union, have hitherto claimed the title of friends to the constitution, and profess to be its zealous and active advocates, have now a glorious opportunity, not only of helping to preserve it, and promoting the best interests of the country, but evincing their patriotism, and shewing to the world, that they are actuated by the principles which they professed, and that on a critical question, which involves not only the existence of the state, perhaps of the federal constitution, they are willing to sacrifice party prejudices, personal injuries, and even what they may conceive just resentments. They will disregard the advice and opinions of these narrow minded politicians and selfish patriots, who, actuated by private animosity towards the executive, arising from the loss of office, would sacrifice the constitution itself to gratify their resentment against him. That they will cheerfully unite with good men of different, and even opposite political sentiments, in defence of this bulwark of our rights, and save it from destruction the good work of their own hands; which, if not worth exertion to preserve, was never worthy our acceptance."
"And even what they may conceive just resentments!" just resentments! ! Yes gentlemen, when calumniated and abused, when persecuted and despised, when driven from power by the vile arts which you have practised, to deceive and mislead the people; when federalists with their country, are suffering incalculable evils, the consequence of your wicked machinations, they have just resentments; and were they actuated by the same spirit, which has driven you on in your career of glory they would leave you to perish as victims of your own wickedness and folly. But "that they will cheerfully unite with good men of different and opposite political sentiments in defence of this bulwark of our rights the good work of their own hands"—Ah! "there is the rub."
This consideration demands the serious attention of federalists. The political institutions of the country are the acknowledged bulwarks of THEIR hands, but how far they will be found to unite with others of opposite political sentiments in their defence we cannot say. They have ever been and they ever will be, in principle and practice the unceasing supporters of the constitution of our country, the bulwark of THEIR hands—they ever have been and ever will be the zealous advocates of order & good government; and they ever have been and ever will be the enemies of disorganizing demagogues, and their pernicious practices.

AGUE & FEVER.
TO prevent an attack of these distressing complaints, which, from the late sudden change of weather has become very prevalent, a free use of Dr. STOUGHTON'S BITTERS is recommended.
This excellent Stomatic, when genuine, for a great number of years has been proved to be far superior to all advertised quack nostrums, in preventing an autumnal attack of the Ague. It possesses, in a great measure, the properties of the Jesuit's Bark, with this advantage, that it never causes a nausea or sickness, when properly administered, and the cost, very small.
These Bitters, truly prepared, are sold at the store of C. W. JANSON, King Street, near Washington Street, Alexandria; A Buck, Fredericksburg; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capital Hill, Washington; and L. Labille, George Town.

GREAT BARGAINS.
The heirs of colonel Charles Beatty, to free themselves from the debts of the estate, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC SALE, at Holme's tavern in George Town, on Thursday the 26th December next, and continue from day to day until all is sold, upwards of
One hundred Lots in George Town, AND its additions, many of them in the best situations, and several well-improved and under good rent.
Also—the whole of the Water property which belonged to the deceased, including the very elegant two story brick houses wherein we reside, and the various buildings attached to them, with the Wharf and Ware-Houses in front—some of the lots are under ground rent of two dollars the front foot. The two dwelling houses alone with the kitchens, stables, &c. cost upwards of 17,000 dollars—the wharf and ware-house are under good rent, as is also the Ferry from the wharf.
Also—608 dollars yearly ground rents, all well secured.
Also—lot 7 sq. 79, and lots 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17, sq 569 in the city of Washington.
Also—the following Lands in the vicinity of this town, and near to Tennally Town and Rock Creek, viz. the Vale 433 3/4 acres, Dry Meadow 34 acres, Good Fellowship 21 acres, Mount Airy 59 1/2 acres, and part of Mount Airy 5 acres, well watered and timbered, and affording handsome situations for country seats.
Also—Below Amsterdam, 12 1/2 acres, embracing the Canal below the Little Falls, and offering great advantages in water works and stone quarries.
Also—Burn's Neglect 81 acres, lying in the City of Washington, embracing a part of the President's square; this tract is in dispute although a patent right, and
Also—Prospect 167 1/2 acres, on the north of and adjoining the line of the City; of this tract as a situation for an independent gentleman enough cannot be said; it commands a full view of the whole and entire city, of George Town and its additions, of Alexandria, of Bladensburg, of the Potomac and the Eastern Branch; the soil is however considerably injured by constant tillage, but could easily be reclaimed by manure, plaster, and rest. Taxes of every kind on all the said property are fully paid up to include 1805.
We will treat with any person for any of the property at private sale; judgment creditors of the deceased, and also against him where bound for our brother Thomas J. Beatty, will have a decided preference; and they are respectfully invited to attend, as are all other creditors, to whom all possible justice shall be done consistently with legal obligation and the nature of the claims.
Terms of sale will be cash for all sums under 50 dollars; between 50 and 150, six, twelve and eighteen months; between 150 and 500, nine, eighteen and twenty-four months; from 500 to 1000, ten, twenty and thirty months, and all sums over 1000 dollars, twelve, twenty-four and thirty-six months; all on interest, with approved security, or endorser. Ample discount will be allowed for cash payments at any interest. Good deeds will be given on payment of the purchase money free of Dower.
The rapid improvement and growing value of Georgetown strongly incite purchasers of property at this time.
