SPANISH PATRIOT DINNER.
The grand dinner, so long announced, in honor of the glorious cause of the Spanish Patriots, was given yesterday, at the New City of London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street. So early as three o'clock the street was crowded with spectators of every description, anxious to see the company on their way to the dinner, and particularly the Spanish part of it. The windows of all the houses were filled with elegantly dressed females, the roofs were not visible, so great was the crowd that covered them, and even every lamp-post swarmed with boys. In such a crowd, agitated by so much anxiety and expectation, it was not an easy matter, however laudable the sentiment and feeling, to preserve order and decorum. This difficulty appears to have been foreseen, and every proper precaution was employed to meet it. The city officers mustered at an early hour in great force, and prepared a passage through the crowd sufficient for the free passage of the carriages. With the exception of so much open space, the street was one solid mass of people, many of whom fainted from the excessive heat and pressure. So early as four o'clock the company began to arrive, and at five all the seats in the great room were filled, except those at the table appropriated to the noble visitors and principal patrons of the fete . At half past six the Spanish deputies made their appearance. Their approach was announced by the loud plaudits and huzzas of the crowd in the street. It was an animated and cheering welcome—such a burst of honest enthusiasm does honor to human nature.—On their arrival they were conducted into an anti-chamber, and at seven o'clock dinner was served up.
There were six tables length-ways, and one cross-table in the large room, in which 328 noblemen and gentlemen sat down; and in the adjoining room there were 72, making together 400 persons; and it is not an exaggeration to say, that their united property was not less than fifteen millions of money. The decoration of the table was splendid.
The partes , or sand-work, represented in one place Britannia offering her assistance to Spain; in another France , supporting a medalion, on which were inscribed the names of the different provinces of Spain, who have stood the foremost in resisting the common enemy: in another the figure of Time crowning the Spanish Patriots' flag with laurel; in another, the figure of Hope leaning on the Rock of Justice ; in other parts, the arms and standards of Spain intermixed with those of England, with different mottoes, such as "Vencer O! Morir," "Success to the Spanish Heroes," &c. &c. &c. The ornaments stood from seven to eight feet high, portraying in one part the battle of the Nile, with the blowing up of L'Orient; in another, Trophies of Flags, &c. &c. at the tops of all, the Royal Standards of England and Spain, the whole finished with garlands and bouquets of flowers, China Figures, Vases, &c. &c.
The dinner consisted of one full service, with removes —a plan of dinner for so large a company, infinitely better adapted to comfort than that of division into several courses. It was served with the regularity and alacrity of a private board. There were first for the day 2,500 lbs. weight of turtle, and the intervals between the courses had every delicacy in season—the removes were haunches of venison. The desert was extremely magnificent in ices and fruits, and contained about 600 pieces.
The chair was filled by Sir F. Baring, and about him sat the Spanish deputies, Viscount Materosa, the Spanish Admiral, the Portuguese Ambassador, Earls Camden and Bathurst, Viscount Sidmouth, Lords Erskine and Hawkesbury, Sir Charles Price and William Curtis, Messrs. Sheridan, Canning, Perceval, and Windham; Aldermen Combe and Shaw; Messrs. Melish, Thornton, &c.—These noblemen and gentlemen, attended by the city marshals, and the stewards, with their wands in their hands, proceeded through the rooms amidst the acclamations of the company, and took their seats at the head of the table, in the great room.
The Portuguese Ambassador and Viscount Materosa, sat on the right hand of Sir Francis Baring, and next to them the cabinet ministers. On his left were the Spanish Admiral and several distinguished foreigners.
The other side of the cross-table was filled by Viscount Sidmouth, Lord Erskine, Mr. Sheridan, and several other English nobility and gentry.—After dinner, Non Nobis was sung by Messrs. Dignum, Taylor, Doyle, Gibbon, Leete, Vaughan, and Sale, in a very superior style. The following toasts were drunk with three times three, accompanied by appropriate music and songs:
 1. The King.  2. The Queen.  3. The Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family.  4. His Majesty Ferdinand the Seventh, King of Spain and of the Indies.  5. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Portugal; and may the House of Braganza "never" cease to reign.  6. The King of Sweden, our coadjutor in the glorious cause.  7. The King of the Sicilies.  8. The President and the United States of America. 
On this toast being given, some partial disapprobation was shown; but on a song being called for from Mr. Dignum, general unanimity was restored.
Sir Francis Baring next called the attention of the company to a toast which he felt must, when heard, awake in every British bosom the sincerest feelings of sympathy and zeal.
Toast—"Success to the gallant Heroes in Spain, our brave associates in liberty and arms."—Music; To arms! To arms! This glee was admirably sung by the gentlemen under the direction of Mr. Dignum.
The toast was drunk with three times three, and never was witnessed a more general expression of sincere and ardent sympathy than was exhibited by every individual in the respectable company assembled.
The following song, adapted to the occasion, was next sung by Mr. Dignum, amidst the loudest plaudits of approbation:
Long by anarchy, faction, and treason defac'd, The order and peace of the world had been broke; And nations, by chains of oppression disgrac'd, Had shrunk from their duties, and bow'd to the yoke.
By Cunning o'erreach'd, or by Terror dismay'd, A Despot's decrees had unstrung ev'ry nerve; And, Virtue or Courage no longer display'd, Men sunk into slaves, and were willing to serve.
Entrench'd deep in crimes now the Despot's assail'd, And his arts shall no longer his tyrannic guard; Thine example, blest BRITAIN! at last has prevail'd— Thy firmness at last shall obtain its reward.
Gallant Spain has her cruel Oppressor defy'd: To freedom, religion, and glory a friend, Her children once more with us Britons ally'd, The flame they have caught shall through Europe extend.
Thus the true sons of valor all over the earth, By wishes long since, and by sympathies link'd, Their rights shall assert, and, with Liberty's birth, Usurpers shall fall, and their fame be extinct.
The Chairman then rose to propose to the company the health of the illustrious guests who had that day honored them with their presence. Before he announced it from the Chair, it was his duty to state, that through an intimate acquaintance with the commercial world, for the last fifty years, he never did see a more, nor indeed such a respectable company, as was that day assembled, in this great metropolis. In addressing them on the subject of the present meeting, he was aware that he only anticipated the genuine and sincere sentiments by which they were actuated.
He should, therefore, at once conclude, by giving, as a toast, "The health of the illustrious guests who then honored the company by their presence. May they, on their return to their native country, have the proud gratification of seeing that loyalty and love of country, which they have exhibited, crowned with the success which so noble a cause deserves," which was drunk with three times three. Shouts of approbation resounded through the room, and the Spanish deputies altogether rose, conveying to the company, by their action and appearance, the great and generous satisfaction which such a mark of respect excited in their bosoms.
Mr. CANNING, at the request of the Spanish deputies, rose to express their thanks—"Gentlemen, I have the honor to be called upon by the illustrious guests whom you, this day, entertain, to return, in their names, their sincere and ardent thanks for the proud mark of respect and approval which the great commercial interest of the British metropolis has conferred upon them. They desire me to assure you of the high sense they entertain of a reception not more gratifying to them than it is advantageous to the noble cause in which we are all engaged, by inspiring all those incentives of energy and zeal, as well in Spain as in Britain, and, indeed, in every country that has the mind and the fortitude to shake off the vile thralldom, which, unfortunately for the peace, happiness, and comfort of mankind, has been too long suffered to continue. They also desire me to say, that it would be not flattering to this country, and must be dishonorable to themselves, were they to affirm, that Spain, unless supported by this country, would not have engaged in its glorious struggle. Far different were the motives which impelled their countrymen to the awful but heroic decision. Though unaided they had determined on the exertion. The effort they would have made, with whatever prospects either of friendly co-operation or of ultimate success.—( Loud peals of approbation. ) But in the testimony which G: Britain has so promptly borne to those efforts, in the sympathy which every class of its people do feel for Spanish success, in its preparations for active co-operation, and in its performances to a great extent, they, whom I have now the honor to represent, do feel hopes the most agreeable, to arise from the assistance of the British nation. That their country should have afforded to the oppressed world a well-grounded expectation of rescue, is to them the best of consolation—the great reward to which Spain looks, for such efforts, is in the permanent friendship of Great Britain.—( Hear, hear! ) They have also desired me, as your guests, and as their own toast, again to propose the health of your venerable and beloved sovereign."
The toast was drunk with rapturous acclamations, and the musical part of the company sang the appropriate song.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the following toasts:—
May the united efforts of Great-Britain, Spain, Portugal, and Sweden, rescue the continent of Europe from oppression and tyranny.—Three times three.
May Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish and British valor, always unite in support of religion, liberty, loyalty and law.
The health of the chairman was then drunk with three times three, every individual expressing to those immediately in his vicinity the obligation which the company must feel to Sir Francis Baring for his attentive, liberal and patriotic conduct.
Sir FRANCIS, in a few words, returned thanks. He felt that, from his state of health, it was impossible for him to fulfil the duties of a President to such a respectable company. However, when he was honored with the application to act in that capacity, on such an occasion, he felt the call irresistible, and he therefore obeyed it. ( Repeated approbation. ) He concluded with proposing, without distinction, the health of the noble visitors who had that day honored the meeting with their presence.
This toast was drunk with loud acclamations, and the Chairman communicated to the company that he was requested, by the noble visitors whose healths were drunk, to propose that of Mr. Canning.—( Great Applause. )
Mr. CANNING—"Gentlemen, when last I had the honor to address you, it was in the character of interpreter to your illustrious guests of the Spanish nation—I did then feel sincerely the observations which it was my duty to make. In my own person, I have now to return you my thanks for this honor confirmed on myself, with the strongest assurances of sincerity and respect."
The Spanish deputies, accompanied by the other noble guests, then took their leave. On their departure, as on their entrance, every demonstration of respect was paid to them. Every man appeared to feel the value of those sacred principles and efforts which it was the object of the day's meeting to cherish and to commemorate.
Sir Francis Baring was succeeded in the chair by Beeston Long, Esq. Governor of the bank of England who kept up the festivity of the night to a late hour.

WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7.
There never was, perhaps, a more curious phenomenon than that presented at this moment by the enemies of the administration.
When the Embargo was laid it was roundly asserted to have been at the dictation of France, and the most ingenious arguments were used to show how prejudicial its operation would be to England, and beneficial to France. It was in vain that the friends of the administration affirmed that it was a measure of rigid impartiality, and that if it operated unequally, France would feel it the most sensibly—this was denied, and it was declared that the hand of Napoleon was in it.
Now, mark the contrast. From the same quarters we are told that England does not feel the Embargo, that she laughs at it, nay that she is thankful for it.
If so, surely it must be admitted that it was not laid with motives peculiarly hostile to England, or peculiarly friendly to France. If its operation is, to benefit England, and to injure France, it must have flowed from an improper subservience to the views of England, if it did not proceed from motives purely American.
Again—Mark the inconsistency of the first declarations of the federalists, and their present declarations, and say what credit ought to be given to opinions so capricious, so hostile to each other. If their perceptions of the great interests of their country were so obscure as six months ago to have prophesied directly the reverse of what has happened, is there the least reason to credit their prophecies now of what is to happen six months hence? Nothing can be clearer than either that they did not believe the predictions they made when the embargo was imposed, and therefore knowingly uttered a falsehood, or that their understandings were in fault, and that, consequently, after such a signal display of ignorance and incapacity, they do not merit the least confidence.
The fact, however, that the embargo was laid to preserve our peace, not with France only, but likewise with England.
A phenomenon, equally curious with that we have exposed, and on which this exposure will shed some light, is the present clamor of the federalists to take off the embargo. They are told, if the embargo is taken off under the existing state of things, it will produce submission to French decrees and English orders, or war, and they are called upon to say whether it is either their wish to submit to these, or to go to war. They reply no. They know that the greatest part of their own party, by far the most respectable, part would revolt at the idea of paying tribute to England or crouching to Bonaparte. They therefore loudly disclaim any such idea. And as to war, although they have no objections to it provided France be the object, they shrink with horror at an idea of war with England. They declare, however, that the removal of the embargo will not have this effect. But this effect would in all probability be produced; notwithstanding the opposite prediction now made, and which is entitled to just the same measure of credit with that which we have already so clearly exposed. This is easily proved.
Suppose the embargo taken off. In taking this step, authority will either be given to our vessels to arm and defend themselves, or it will be withheld from them. If withheld, the consequence will be submission. It will, however, be submission of the most dreadful nature; submission, not merely to England, but likewise to France; for the first of which we shall be warred on by France, and for the latter by England. What will be the result? It will be the entire monopoly of our European trade by England. No insurance that can be made will cover the risk of a voyage to the enemies of England. No such trade, therefore will be carried on, except to the French Islands in the W. Indies, from whom we shall be only safe in taking a moiety of their products required for our own consumption, as we shall be prohibited from carrying any to the continent, and as England

has more than enough of all such articles for her own consumption derived from her own colonies.
Our whole trade to Europe, except to England and a few unimportant places, will be destroyed. All our vessels and goods must go to England, and after being exposed to all the impositions attendant on their importation, must pay enormous duties on their exportation. Suppose then our vast trade centered in England. What would be the inevitable effects? She does not consume, at the utmost, more than one fourth part of it. There will, therefore, be warehoused there at least four times the quantity which she can consume, after being exposed, in the first instance, to capture by the French, and consequently subjected to charges commensurate with the risk.
If the continent is sealed against the exportation of these goods, they can be sold by our merchants only in England to British merchants. But with the British merchants have the capital to buy them, or any inducement to make the purchase? There will be an immense glut of the market, which must inevitably tumble down the prices. For those articles which are perishable, such as flour, rice, salted provisions, and fish, any price that is offered must be taken. And when we consider the small quantity of these England takes from us for her own consumption, it can scarcely be doubted that they would not command any thing like their original cost here, independent of the charges of freight, insurance, and duties attendant on their importation.
And with regard to articles not perishable, inasmuch as the proper demand of England for them is very insignificant compared with the whole amount, they would unquestionably fall greatly below those prices which in ordinary times have afforded a good profit to the planter and merchant. The latter could not bear to be long kept out of his money, and would be soon compelled to take what was offered: And is there any reason to infer that the English trader would not avail himself of every advantage offered by circumstances? Has a merchant ever been heard of that did not buy as cheap as he could?
But suppose there should be a vent for the exportation of these commodities. Under what circumstances could they be exported? Charged in the first instance with a heavy insurance against French epidemics, with freightage, and duties on importation, they would still be required to pay the enormous duties chargeable on their exportation, which are in all cases oppressive, and in some transcend the first cost. What prudent American merchant would think of exporting them, or prudent British merchant venture to buy them with the view of exporting them, under these circumstances? It must be obvious that the whole traffic from beginning to end would be a losing one.
The effect then of submission would be, not only national degradation, but pecuniary losses to a greater extent than even under the embargo. It would, indeed, soon work its own cure; as the very men who urged and effected it would be the first to cry for authority to arm their vessels. This would be the point to which they would be irresistibly brought sooner or later.
Now, let us look at the effect of this step. The power of England on the ocean is at least ten times as great as that of France. If, therefore, three fourths of our trade centres in the continent, and, as we have shown, could only be valuable when carried directly to the continent, in which case it is subject, under the British orders, to capture and confiscation, to carry on this trade, our vessels must fight their way against British ships of war. Let us then suppose the armed vessels of England on the ocean to amount to 1,000, and those of France to 100; and that our trade to England is but one fourth part of that to the continent; and it will follow that the power of France to annoy our trade with England will be only one-thirtieth part as great, as that of England to annoy our trade with the continent; that is, that for one vessel France attacked, England would attack thirty. This brings us palpably to the point. Against which nation would our resentment be most excited? Against the nation that did us the greatest injury. Could we, under such a disparity of injury inflicted upon us, reconcile it to any principle of right, or sentiment of honor, to declare war against France, without also declaring war against England? Would there not in fact with regard to England be vis major ? Declared or not, would it not be waged.
If this view be correct, the removal of the embargo must at once or very soon produce war with England, not merely proclaimed, but waged with fury.
If it be correct, it is equally clear that to the embargo we are altogether indebted for not being at war with England at this moment.
The friends of the embargo, therefore, are the enemies of a war with England, and its enemies are the genuine friends and promoters of such a war.

On this proud triumph of the principles of seventy-six over tory principles—for this is now the point at issue—we cannot better express our feelings of approbation and admiration than by adopting the glowing language of the Whig .
“With feelings of inexpressible gladness, and sentiments of gratitude to Heaven, I sit down after the bustle of Monday, to sketch the result: and that result is the triumph of Democracy in Baltimore city and county—by a majority never surpassed, if equalled. How could it be otherwise? The Tories provoked all our strength, and they felt our weight. Federalism is prostrate in this district—and, if the people of Maryland have been true to themselves and the principles of seventy-six (as I think they have been) we have ‘triumphed gloriously,’ throughout the state. I ask again—How could it be otherwise? The double or conjoint influence of sun and moon raises a spring tide, and lifts old Ocean higher from his bed, than could either singly. So, the democrats of Baltimore were doubly roused by the efforts of the Tories—and the attempt of ‘Mother Britain’ to make us tributaries and vassals. There has been a monsoon setting from England ever since Rose’s arrival—which has swelled the tide of party-spirit to an unusual height. The enemies of American independence and democracy, we trust, have been more than sprinkled with its spray. They have been swallowed in its surge.
“Democrats of Baltimore! You have earned the plaudits of United America; and what is more, the conscious satisfaction of having firmly and independently done your duty. There seemed an emulation between native and adopted citizens—who should perform their duties more nobly—and neither excelled—for both have done wonders; both have remained true to the principles of the Declaration of Independence. Henceforth let no hateful, invidious distinction be made between native and foreigner—The adopted citizens, whether German or Irish , have shown that they are not unworthy of American citizenship. How could it be otherwise? They deserted their native lands, because Liberty did not dwell with them; they migrated to America, to enjoy civil and political and religious freedom; and having found them, they did not ‘fling them like a worthless weed—away.’
“Pennsylvanians! follow the example of Baltimore—and crop forever the crest of British arrogance and British hope.”
Kent.
Four republican representatives chosen by a majority of 45.
Cecil.
Four republican representatives chosen by a majority of 38.
In the counties of Kent and Cecil, Mr. Montgomery, republican, had 1572 and Mr. Spencer federal, 1479. There is no doubt of Mr. Montgomery’s re-election, as Hartford, yet to be heard from, is most decidedly republican.
In Prince George’s , three federal, and one republican representative, by a majority of 80.
Majority for Van Horn, Rep. 8.
We understand that the majority in Anne Arundel is republican; and that in Charles it is federal; in Calvert a federal majority of 15.

Four federal representatives elected by a majority of 364.
In the five districts that form a part of the Congressional district Roger Nelson, republican, has 1365, and Upton, Bruce 1123 votes.

A. C. Magruder, (Fed.) 110
These counties taken together give 21 republican and 19 federal members of assembly; while for representatives in Congress, Messrs. McKim, Moore, Montgomery, and Van Horne republican, and Mr. Key, federal, appear to be elected.
Of the total votes given, of which accounts have been received, 11,069 are republican, and 7,050 federal.
PENNSYLVANIA. The ward elections for the county of Philadelphia, that is, elections held for the choice of those who are to receive the votes at the main election, have all terminated in the choice of republicans, by an aggregate majority of about 1,000.
In Norris-Town, Montgomery County, the Democratic ticket for Inspectors prevailed for the first time, by a majority of 45.
In the borough of Lancaster, the Democratic ticket likewise triumphed by a majority of 54.
We are enabled to state, on the most respectable authority, that it is calculated by the most intelligent men in Pennsylvania that Snyder will be elected Governor by a majority of at least 5,000.
Some judgment may be formed of the ardent patriotism of Baltimore by the following testimonials.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, To all Republicans of Baltimore City and County, that the CARGO OF GIN, lately imported in the brig Sophia , captain Carman , from Rotterdam, having paid an Infamous Tribute , is condemned to the FLAMES, and will be burnt to morrow evening on Hampstead-Hill—Let all the people shout—GOD SAVE THE REPUBLIC!
Baltimore, October 3, 1808.
On Tuesday, according to the above notice, the six pipes of Gin were burnt on Hampstead Hill, amidst the plaudits of an immense concourse of people, accompanied by a discharge of 17 rounds of cannon. Over the pipes of Gin was suspended a canvas which bore the following inscription. “British Orders of Council.” The frame to which it was attached somewhat resembled a Gallows. The whole was consumed.
Democratic Republican.
In the generous spirits of republican tars the seamen, captains, on Fell’s Point , yesterday, equip an elegant barge, with colors flying—and mann’d by gallant democratic sea-boys. As the night of the “Democratic Republican,” (for so she is called) gave so much delight, a little description of her construction, flags, labels, and so forth, may amuse our country readers, to whom such things are novel.
On her stern was painted the name—
“Democratic Republican.”
On her wales, from stem to stern, these labels—
1st.—“The Old Line will land Moore and McKim at Washington.”
2d.—(Underneath) “The New Line will ply between Fell’s Point and Nova Scotia, to carry old Tories and Refugees to Halifax.”—[Passage-free.]
Bowsprit.—An American Jack on the jib-stay; Ensign on the fore topmast-stay; Burgee on the fore topgallant-mast head.
From the fore and main yards—
1st.—“Salvation to Democracy.”
2d.—“No Gag Bills—No Stamp Act.”
3d.—“No Alien or Sedition Laws.”
[These flags and mottoes hung from the larboard shrouds.]
Main-top-gallant-mast head—a Pennant, a silk Ensign flying abaft.
From the after fore-shroud, stretched along the waist—
“Bunker’s Hill forever.”
From the fore-yard to the main-peak—
“Spirit of ’76—No Tribute.”
2d Flag—“Liberty of the Seas—Huzza!”
From the after main-shroud to the taffrel—
“No Tory-Federalism.”
Between the fore and main-mast—
“Moore and McKim—No Tribute.”

Boston, October 2.
By an arrival last night from Halifax, we received papers to the 16th inst. The British August Packet arrived on the 12th, bringing London dates to August 6. She was to sail on the 13th for New York.
The Packet sailed from Falmouth August 9, with a new expedition for Spain, under Sir H. Burnard, comprising 14,000 men.
News arrived just previous to the sailing of the Packet, of the defeat of Dupont’s army by the Spanish Patriots.
The American dispatch brig St. Michaels, was still in England; but was to sail in a few days for L’Orient, thence to America.
Mr. Patterson, of Baltimore, brother-in-law to Jerome Bonaparte, arrived at Halifax in the Packet. He is reported to have said, that the British have officially declared, that their orders of council as to Spain are not suspended as regards American vessels.
New York, October 3.
Last evening arrived at this port, the British packet, Princess Augusta, Capt. St. Aubyn, with the August mail. She left Falmouth on the 9th of August, at which time the U. S. dispatch brig, St. Michael, was there, and was to sail in two days for L’Orient and America, both messengers having arrived at Falmouth from London.
Adm. Sir Isaac Coffin came passenger in the packet from Halifax. The London papers by the packet are only to the 6th of August and contain nothing new.
LATEST NEWS FROM SPAIN.
Capt. Wardell of the ship Camilla , left Cadiz on the 27th of August. He informs that Joseph Bonaparte (the mushroom king of Spain) had reached Madrid, but was retracing his steps back to the frontiers. The French, after nearly destroying the town, had been driven out of Barcelona; and at Valencia the French inhabitants had been exterminated by a general massacre. The Spaniards had sprung a mine at Saragossa, by which 8,000 Frenchmen fell victims. The British fleet had withdrawn from Cadiz; and the French fleet were laid up. A Spanish 74 sailed about 15 days before capt. Wardell for La Vera Cruz and Havanna; a frigate was ready to sail for Lima, and a 74 for the southward. It was reported that Junot (whose master had sent him to protect the Portuguese) was to be attacked by the natives and the British on the day capt. W. left Cadiz. [We have a letter which mentions his defeat and surrender.] The governor of Gibraltar had resigned his situation, that he might take the chief command in Lisbon. It was generally believed in Cadiz that the French would be driven from Spain. The Minorca gun brig and a sloop of war, had arrived at Cadiz from England, with 8,000,000 of dollars, for the use of the Patriots. Bonaparte had returned to Paris, in consequence (as was said) of some of the northern powers having declared war against him. Such is the substance of the verbal intelligence received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser by the Camilla .
From our printed accounts we learn that on the arrival of Dupont at Port St. Mary (a town situated on the bay of Cadiz) in consequence of the discovery among his baggage of some church plate which had been plundered from Cordova, the populace assembled, and in a tumultuous manner drove off the soldiers who had the charge of it, which they completely ransacked, and carried off whatever was valuable, particularly a great quantity of gold and silver vessels belonging to the Cathedral of Cordova. Dupont by letter demanded restitution of the governor; to which the latter then replied, “I have received your letter of yesterday, reclaiming the baggage, &c. destroyed by the populace of St. Mary, and invoking the honor of the Spanish nation. I detest the conduct of the criminals, and I am anxious for the glory of Spain; but your own proceedings have occasioned it; and it could never have been my intention, or that of the Supreme Junta, that your excellency should carry out of Spain the fruits of your rapacity, cruelty, and irreligion.”
Is there in reason any principle which prescribes good faith and humanity towards an army which entered the kingdom under the mask of friendship, and robbed it of its sovereign; at the same time extorting homage to a new one by violence, profaning the sacred temples and carrying desolation into the royal palaces, the towns and villages. I will, however, endeavor to secure your personal safety and subsistence, and will take the most effectual measures for your speedy transportation to France, &c.
We have little else than proclamations, inviting the Spaniards to loyalty, to perseverance, and to exertion. They are now in the hands of the translator.
Capt. Wardell is the bearer of dispatches for government.
Extract of a letter from a very respectable American Gentleman in Gibraltar, to his friend in this city, dated Aug. 11th, received per ship Camilla , from Cadiz.
“We yesterday received the news of the surrender of the whole French army, under Gen. Junot, at Lisbon, to the British forces—Junot himself a prisoner to the Portuguese and Spaniards. He had attempted to make his escape from his army. Five thousand French troops, in two bodies, that were marching to the relief of Junot, have been totally cut to pieces by the Spaniards, not even one individual escaped.
“Joseph 1st (as he is ironically called) has fled from Madrid, having first given the place up to pillage to his soldiers, and is supposed to have gone to Catalonia, or more probably to Barcelona, of which place the French have possession.
“Fifteen tons of silver, and arms and ammunition, for the patriots have arrived at Cadiz from England; and twenty thousand pounds have been advanced by the government here, and about 100,000 dollars by the merchants, and more money is hourly expected from England; in fact, every assistance the British can give, is afforded to the Spaniards.
“Gov. Dalrymple has just resigned the command in chief of this garrison, and proceeds to Lisbon to-morrow, to take the command of all the British forces in Spain and Portugal, amounting to about 40,000 men. Gen. Drummond succeeds to the command in chief here.”
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman resident in Spain, dated August 26th.
“The extraordinary changes in this country must no doubt influence in some measure the decision which our government may adopt with respect to the embargo. The success of the Spaniards has been singular; and indeed so much so, that we who are on the spot, and in a great degree eye-witnesses, can hardly credit it. How much more incredible must it appear to those who have always considered the Spaniards as the most degraded people on earth, to find that they have been able with numbers, and only half armed, to completely beat the Conquerors of the World! Saragossa has made itself immortal by its resistance against thirteen attacks of the flower of the French army, commanded by one of its celebrated chiefs. Saragossa is defended by a trifling wall, more intended to check smugglers than for a defence. In the last attack, no longer able to withstand the impetuous ardor of the French troops, they let them into the city; and when about eight thousand had advanced a considerable distance, fire was put to trains of powder leading to mines placed under the streets where the French troops were marching, and above 6000 were destroyed. More than one thousand women fell fighting; and the inhabitants came to

A determination to set free the whole town rather than give it up to the French. After the last attack the few remaining troops fled; and we are assured that the province of Arragon is thus cleared of Frenchmen.
“Joseph Bonaparte is at Burgos, having evacuated Madrid. We are this day confidently told that he had begun his march towards France; but that, all Biscay being in arms, he has been obliged to return to Burgos, where he will be very shortly surrounded, and if he does not take care made prisoner.”
“We have nothing from France; but from the tardiness of the French troops coming in, it is pretty generally supposed that Bonaparte has got his hands full. Should the North of Europe rise, he may be made to regret his infamous conduct towards this country.”
“We have no certain accounts from Lisbon; but we are glad that we are not to have any English troops in Spain. The Spaniards, in fact, do not want any other aid than money and ammunition; they have more men than they can arm, and combined armies have never done any thing. With the Spaniards the French can have no opportunity of intriguing; and left to themselves they have no dissensions to fear.”
Besides the foregoing articles, we have selected the following from other prints.
In the beginning of August all the French residing in Corunna were arrested and committed to jail.
The Duke of York is reported to be appointed commander in chief of the grand Spanish army composed of 70,000 men.
Letters from Copenburgh state, that the Emperor of Russia has offered to make peace with Sweden; but that his Swedish majesty refused, observing, that he could not treat without England.
Philadelphia, Oct. 4. Yesterday arrived at this port, the fast sailing ship America, Capt. Lelar, 42 days from Amsterdam—Capt. Lelar, left Amsterdam the 17th, Aug. by special permission obtained through the agency of Gen. Armstrong, for the purpose of bringing out Mr. Baker, the bearer of despatches to France by the St. Michael's. Mr. Baker landed at New-Castle & proceeded immediately for Washington. Gen. Armstrong had made repeated applications to the French government without success, for permission for a vessel to bring out Mr. Baker. He had therefore to proceed to Holland, where, after much importunity, this conveyance was allowed; the embargo in Holland, being rigidly maintained. Captain Lelar informs, that the condemnation of American vessels and property, by the prize courts at Paris, were very numerous. Nothing which came under their cognizance escaped. In Holland there existed a total depression of every kind of business.
But the most important and pleasing article of intelligence received by the America, is the following, which we have the assurance of captain Lelar, and his intelligent passengers, is entitled to full and implicit credit:
On the 17th Sept. lon. 17, 50, W. lat. 40, N. was boarded by the British frigate Euridice, nine days out from Lisbon, the boarding officer from which informed that General Junot had capitulated to the English and Portuguese forces, and that all Portugal was in possession of the patriots and English; and that the Russian fleet lying in the Tagus, had been taken by the British and sent to England.
This intelligence, which, from the manner and period of its being communicated, bespeaks immediate belief, receives additional credibility from the articles which are given in this day's Gazette, from the English papers, all of which demonstrate that the British forces, under Sir Arthur Wellesley, co-operating with the Portuguese, were on the eve of making a bold and well-concerted movement against gen. Junot. In England, so early as the middle of August, the public expectation was anxiously looking for an event of this nature.
Capt. Lelar, was boarded by the British Jamaica frigate, the captain of which politely favored him with London papers to the 15th of Aug. from which we extract the following:
It would appear from one or two articles in the latest papers (we have not the intermediate papers of the 10th, 11th and 12th Aug.) that Joseph Bonaparte had been obliged to abandon the throne of Spain, but that, with characteristic prudence, he had carried off all the wealth and paraphernalia of the crown.
Further detail in our next. It would appear from all our accounts that the St. Michael's had not left England, for either France or America, so late as Aug. 15.
We shall give translations from our Dutch papers in future numbers.
London, Aug. 14. The dispatches which have been so anxiously expected from Lord Collingwood, with the detail of the glorious victory of the patriots over Dupont, had not arrived at a late hour last night. The intelligence, however, which has been received at different times from the north of Spain, and in the most authentic shape, places that important fact beyond dispute, whilst it excites a lively impatience to be acquainted with all the circumstances of the gallant achievement. This laudable anxiety of the public is not likely to remain long unsatisfied. We have every reason to conclude, that in our next we shall be enabled to give the details to the public, as there is every probability of an arrival from Cadiz, in the course of this day or to-morrow. In the mean time, any accounts of the various operations which preceded the final surrender of the enemy's force, cannot fail to be gratifying.—The letters of Gen. Castanos to the Supreme Junta of Seville, respecting the movements and operations of his army which are given in another part of our paper, though not of so late a date as those which we published some days ago, will yet be read with interest and satisfaction. In the absence of any direct intelligence of the progress of the patriotic army, after the surrender of general Dupont these official documents, announcing several of the particular actions which preceded that event, cannot fail of giving some relief to the eager expectations of the public. Castanos appears to have conducted himself during the whole of the campaign, in a manner that shews him well entitled to the confidence of his countrymen, and eminently qualified for the important and confidential post which has been assigned to him. The operations of his army were planned with all the prudence of an experienced general, and executed with all the ardor and activity of an enterprising soldier. The event has amply corresponded with the means, and both prove, that Spain has many officers not inferior in any one requisite or qualification of a general, to the most celebrated amongst the leaders of their perfidious invaders.
The gazettes in which these official documents appeared, were brought by the Gibraltar, from Corunna, from which place she sailed the 5th inst. Various other articles of intelligence have been received by the same conveyance, which, though interesting, as they confirm the accounts previously received of the successes of the patriots in different parts of the north and east of Spain, present nothing of novelty. The patriots are every where on the alert, anxious to emulate the conduct of those who have already covered themselves with glory, and to share in the extermination of the remnant of the French army amongst them. The Asturians have pushed into Biscay, the Galicians have advanced into Castile; and whilst the French are in all directions retreating towards the line of communication with France, the patriots are pressing forward from every point, to recover the small portion of their country that yet may remain in the hands of the French. Whilst the contending parties are relatively so circumstanced, on one side dispersed, dispirited, and repeatedly defeated, on the other concentrated, confident and perpetually triumphant, there can be no ground for supposing that the struggle will now be obstinate or protracted. A single blow would, in the present situation of the French in that country, effectually overthrow all prospect of their being able to retain a footing in it. The defeat of Bessieres, or the capture of Joseph, would equally avail for that purpose. But in any event the cause of Spain must be triumphant.
Reports are in circulation, that the departure of Bonaparte from Bayonne was connected with a project of accumulating a force capable of bearing down all opposition in Spain. Even an army of one hundred thousand men is said to have been marched from Paris towards that country. Those who incline to such rumors would do well to consider, that one half of Bonaparte's force is in Germany, that a fourth of it has been disposed of in Spain and Portugal, and that the remaining fourth has ample employment in Holland, Switzerland, Italy, Dalmatia, and in the interior of France. The guards may have been
marched from Paris, and joined the body of conscripts, for the purpose of reinforcing an army that was on foot, or supposed to be in existence in Spain, when Bonaparte left Bayonne. But the surrender of Dupont, and the evacuation of Madrid and the Castiles, will alter the case, and change the destination of the reinforcement. The approaching war with Austria will require all the men that can be assembled, and more than can be well spared; for even though no Frenchmen should remain in Spain, it will require a considerable body of troops to watch that country on the side of the Pyrenees. Pallasox has continued to immortalize himself by his defence of Saragosa, against the repeated assaults of the constantly worsted corps of LeFebvre; and Cuesta, after having made a dash to surprize Joseph on his way to Madrid, has taken post at Salamanca.
Of the operations of sir A. Wellesley since his arrival in Portugal, no official accounts have yet been received. Indeed, it is not officially known that he has effected a landing in that country; that he had landed, however, about the 27th ult. at Peniche we have no doubt; and little, that in his meditated attack upon Lisbon, he will have the co-operation of gen. Spencer's corps of upwards of 5,000 men, which will bring the total amount of his force to about 16,000. From Peniche he was to shape his march thro' Mafra and Cistello, to the Tagus; and when arrived at the mouth of that river, he was first to proceed to the reduction of Fort St. Julien and of Belém, which he would attack on the land side, while on that of the sea he would have the powerful co-operation of Charles Cotton. This task, however arduous in some respects, they would soon have performed; the fall of Lisbon and of Junot would naturally follow.
When Joseph Bonaparte found that he could not maintain himself upon the throne of Spain, he determined to secure the crown, and therefore carried off with him all the regalia and other valuables of the Spanish court.
London, August 9. —The Victory, a merchant vessel, is arrived from Pernambuco in 60 days. We learn by her that every thing was going on well at Brazil. A considerable force was collecting at Rio Grande, for the purpose of proceeding against the river Plata; but the expedition was suspended in consequence of the arrival of intelligence that a material change had taken place in the relations between Spain and G. Britain. A fleet of merchantmen consisting of nearly 200 vessels, were to sail for England, under a strong convoy, about 20 days after the departure of the Victory.
Murat's army which was encroaching itself near Madrid, it is said was waiting for a favorable opportunity to fly for refuge to France.
DUTCH PAPERS. Dutch Journals to the 5th instant containing Paris news to the 30th ult. Bonaparte arrived at Pau on the 21st ult. and left that town the next morning, and was to be at Toulouse on Sunday, the 24th: he was thence to proceed to Agen, which he was to leave on the 29th, for the purpose of visiting Bordeaux, where he was expected on the 30th. Such is the rout mentioned in these papers. Where he was to go from Bordeaux is not stated, but according to some accounts, he is expected at Rambouillet on the 14th inst. his birth day, for the celebration of which splendid preparations had been made. It is stated in an article from Hamburg, of the 29th ult. in the Rotterdam Courant of the 4th inst. that intelligence had been received at Copenhagen of the capture of the Swedish army in Finland, consisting of 12,000 men. This is evidently an unfounded rumor. The Copenburgh mail furnishes the means of detection. By it we learn that his Swedish majesty established his head quarters at Great Carlsoy on the 24th ult. one day later than the report.
The Spanish troops in the vicinity of Hamburg have taken the oath of fidelity to their new sovereign Joseph Napoleon. This need excite no surprize. They could be only imperfectly informed of recent events in their own country; and, besides, they had the bayonets of the French at their breasts. These papers maintain their usual silence with respect to Spain.
Private letters from Holland state, that strong symptoms of revolt against France have lately manifested themselves in several districts of Germany, and also in Poland. At Dantzic, the people are said to have suddenly risen upon the French soldiery, and put numbers of them to death. The final result of this insurrection is not mentioned. Dantzic is known to be very strongly garrisoned, and therefore the conspiracy must be formidable.
ble, or the irritation extreme, that could prompt the inhabitants to insurrection.
FRANCE AND AUSTRIA. Dispatches were yesterday received from Sir James Saumarez, in the Baltic. Report says, they announce the commencement of hostilities between the Austrians and French. Whether this be any part of the contents of the dispatches we know not; but a letter from an officer in the Baltic states, that Sir James, while cruising off Stralsund on the 29th ult. was informed that hostilities had actually commenced, a battle having been fought in Galicia, in which the French were entirely defeated.
The loss of the French is stated at 12,000 men, and the statement is said to have been confirmed by several vessels from Pilau. We state these rumors; but though we consider hostilities at no great distance between those powers, we doubt much whether they have yet commenced.
HAMBURGH, JULY 29. We are assured that intelligence was received at Copenhagen, on the 23d, that the Russian Gen. Buxhoven had surrounded and captured general Klingspor, with 12,000 men.
A rumor was also in circulation, that the alliance between Sweden and England is interrupted.
The day before yesterday, the Spanish officers and soldiers at the military depot at Altona and in the vicinity, took the oath of allegiance to their new king, after the new constitution had been read to them. Nothing was heard but acclamations of “Long live the king, don Joseph Napoleon!” The French general Dupa gave a grand entertainment to the officers. After dinner the health of the new king was drank, and repeated several times with unbounded applause.
RIO SECO, JULY 23. The French driven to rage and madness by the great slaughter and discomfiture which they had sustained in the battle of the 14th, entered this place with fire and sword, putting to death every one who fell in their way in the streets, and in the houses. In one street they killed 129 individuals, and in a single ward upwards of 208. This carnage was followed by an indiscriminate pillage, which continued during the whole of the night; and whatever they could not carry off with them they destroyed. Church vestments and utensils, plate, chalices, pyxes, the sacred hosts all carry off, or plundered—the images dashed in pieces! Virgins, matrons, widows, ***** young and old all ***** Just God! Blessed God! Hadst thou granted permission to the infernal spirits to afflict us, they could not have made greater havoc in this town! Beloved father, we confess that though thou deal with us most mercifully, our sins have deserved still severer chastisement; but forget not, O Lord, that we have all of us a Mediator, who is God with the Father, and that at this moment Rio Seco is the most unfortunate, the most wretched habitation on the face of the earth!

To her particular friends she was most truly and deservedly dear; and her untimely death is lamented by them with deep affliction.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS. Subscribers in arrears are earnestly requested to comply with the terms of this Paper, which, it will be recollected, require the annual payment of Five Dollars in advance. As no period, in the affairs of our country, has been more momentous than the present, so, never has there been a time that required greater exertions from the public prints. While the most indefatigable and unremitted efforts are made to mislead the public mind, and to give it a direction destructive to the great interests of the nation, it becomes the duty of the republican prints to be firm, vigilant and active in the diffusion of truth. This duty shall be performed by us. As heretofore the public shall be presented with a full and faithful view of the proceedings of the government, including the Debates of Congress, and the interesting Documents that emanate from the several departments of the government. If we are to judge from past events, no session since the era of the government will have been more important than the one at hand. To enable the Editor the more satisfactorily to discharge these duties, he has associated with himself, JOSEPH GATES, Jun., who, during the sittings of Congress, will be principally occupied in reporting their proceedings; a department in which he has already shown his competency and impartiality. As this, together with other arrangements, will involve great additional expenses, we are compelled, notwithstanding the peculiar circumstances of the times, to address ourselves to the justice of our subscribers, under the hope that they will, by their punctuality, enable us faithfully to comply with our engagements.

PROPOSAL, By JOSEPH MILLIGAN, George Town, For publishing by Subscription, ADELINE MOWBRAY; OR THE MOTHER & DAUGHTER. IN TWO VOLUMES. By MRS. OPIE.
CUSTOM , and perhaps propriety, have rendered it necessary to bespeak the favorable opinion of the public to a new book; but the writings of Mrs. Opie have long held such an undisputed claim to excellence, that nothing more seems necessary than to point out the leading object of the present very interesting tale, to recommend it to general patronage. Those who have attentively read the writings of Mr. Godwin , well know, that however correct his abstract positions, and however logical his deductions may be—still they are, in many instances, by no means suited to the actual state of society. His opinions on the matrimonial engagement would, if generally adopted, infallibly destroy those bonds which are at once the most efficacious restraint upon licentious passion, and the best, nay the only security for domestic happiness. To counteract his fatal theory appears to be the principal design of the work now offered—in which the characters are so well supported, the incidents arise so naturally from the situations in which they are placed, the reasoning is so perfectly just, the whole narrative so beautifully pathetic, and the impression which it is calculated to produce on every ingenious mind, so favorable to the cause of morality, that the publisher confidently anticipates its meeting the same universal applause in this country which it obtained in England. CONDITIONS. To those who may subscribe before the first of October next, the price will be seventy-cents per volume, in boards, after which it will be advanced to eighty-seven and a half cents per volume.
