MANUFACTURERS AND MECHANIC'S DINNER.
The present Epoch being peculiarly favorable to the advancement of the arts and manufactures of this country, in the excellence of which this Metropolis has been conspicuous, with a view therefore to accelerate such advancement, and at the same to promote the interest of individuals it is proposed—
That a semi-annual meeting shall be held, to which every manufacturer, Mechanic, or Artizan of good demeanor, shall be invited to partake of a dinner, be his country, politics or religion what they may.
It is contemplated that by such meetings Artizans in every branch will have opportunities afforded of a knowledge of the genuine talents and characters of each other, the promulgation of which must prove beneficial as well to the country as the individual, an artist estranged, or as the lost Gem in the ocean—or as the flower of the desert. "born but to blush unseen and waste its fragrance."
It may easily be conceived that from a policy liberal and mutual as this—devoid of politics, wherein each person is the giver and receiver, the inviter and the guest, that at a future time a mechanic's fund which shall provide for the indulgence or infirmity of the member, his widow or orphan may be established—A single dollar per annum, collected from each artizan would afford a mass of benevolence—but of this hereafter as it may be—the two objects are and ought to be distinct—altho' a person might with propriety be a member of both.
The following persons are a committee for the disposal of tickets and of arrangement:—
 John Goodman,  Abraham Small,  John Harrison,  William Y. Birch,  Joseph Strong,  John Dorsey,  Archibald Binney,  John Thoburn,  Thomas Leifer,  James Ronaldson,  Seth Craig,  James Mallow,  Robert C. Martin. 
Tickets, the price of which will be one dollar, may be also had at the Domestic Warehouse—the delivery of which will cease with the 31st day of the present month—after which due notice will be given of the time and place of meeting.
Published by order of the meeting. J. DORSEY, Sec. pro. tem. Philadelphia, October 18, 1808.
As the mines of Louisiana give us lead, which as manufactured, is equal to the amount of the annual interest of the whole purchase money, it has become a most important matter to devise, discover or invent any mixture, which will give the beauty of color to lead, or which will give it hardness, or in any wise give or increase those qualities, which will render lead more fit for useful or elegant metal manufactures.
It is well understood, that a large part of the iron manufactured in the United States into hammered, slit and rolled goods out of bars, was imported from the Baltic. Hence we find, as importation has very much decreased, our own iron is rising, and hence, it follows, that our own manufactures in their present state, are more than equal to the consumption of all the iron we make. The embargo and obstructions to our trade, are therefore,
real and great benefits to the iron master. Iron works then must increase and multiply, and will support the prices of fuel, provisions, beer, cider, grain, spirits, &c. in their neighborhoods.
The black, and other colored papier mache buttons; horn buttons boiled, stamped and varnished, of various colors, the conch and other shell buttons, ivory and bone buttons, the mock mother of pearl or rice buttons, silk, thread, and cotton wrought buttons, cloth and silk covered buttons, hardened leather buttons, and every other expedient to make this article of universal use should be considered by the ingenious citizens of this country.

FROM THE AURORA.
Nothing could more decidedly prove the existence of foreign influence in this city, than the conduct of the folks at the city coffee house, on the receipt of the hamburg from New York, brought by the batque Richard —of a declaration of war by France against America. Every one affected to believe it may exulted in it—but eager as these folks are on other occasions to make bets, not a man would wager a dollar on the truth of intelligence which they affected to believe.
The custom of wagering we always deprecate, and consider as pernicious in society; and we only notice it now, to illustrate the difference between the conduct of these gamblers on occasions of different complexions. They endeavor to impress ideas of belief on a story so absurd—while they really saw its absurdity, and placed no confidence in what they alleged.
Perhaps after all it would not be pernicious to the United States, if the story upon which the tories appeared so much elated, were really true.
They calculate that the necessary effect would be to lead us into an alliance with England. Alas, how easily does folly detude itself.
What would be the best policy for our government if it were even true, that France had the folly to declare war against us? The policy of the United States would be what it is—to defend its own soil and to form entangling alliances with no nation. At home we are invulnerable, for our militia, duly armed and organized is competent to our defence against all the world. Our government would not, under the name of an ally, introduce an enemy into our country—we should organize our militia along our coast, and frontiers, and make a pleasure or a frolic of the elementary parts of military discipline and evolution—from one end of continent to the other we should have military fetes—military expeditions—and the representation of action, to produce correct ideas of discipline—we should have no allies!
"Why then a war with France would be as bad to the tories as the embargo." Exactly so. The friends of American prosperity and independence could not covet any change of events more conducive to their happiness and best good than—the open hostility of France or England. This may appear to be paradox, but it is a solemn truth. We should then know the value and the extent of our own resources. We should in two years be able to produce all that is necessary for our subsistence, comfort and luxury—and provide means for circulating at home the millions of dollars hitherto sent abroad.
The embargo has built, or nearly built, one thousand new houses in this city—the embargo has erected two manufactories for shot, in this city, which forever secures the circulation at home, of about 200,000 dollars heretofore sent abroad—sent abroad to pay for shot—for shooting birds alone we sent 200,000 dollars abroad; Philadelphia now, from the 2 towers erected for casting patent shot, can, after supplying all America, cast enough to supply all Asia beside. Let it not be forgotten that Louisiana produces the lead for these manufactories—which can each cast one ton and a half of the most perfect shot per day.
But these nor twenty more are not all—we have two manufactories of red lead already established—whose capacity is competent to the supply of the whole country with
red lead and with litharge.
A manufactory of white lead is also going on.
The elegant pottery manufactory of Messrs. Trotter and Co. is conducted in a stile so perfect, so complete in all that is required for utility, or taste, that we require only a few privations of foreign articles to give a complete establishment to our own.
It would be in fact a fortunate occurrence for America that both France and England should openly avow hostility against us—their insidious war, their war in disguise , is calculated only to furnish masks for domestic traitors and foreign emissaries—in open war the traitors would be unmasked at once.
Charleston, October 18.
On Saturday evening last, upwards of three hundred citizens wishing to commemorate the success of republicanism in this city at the late election, met at Meed's hotel, and partook of a supper provided for the occasion. His honor the Intendant of this city was called to the chair, & John Drayton, Isaac Newville, and Peter Freneau, Esqrs. were nominated vice-presidents. After supper the following toasts were drank amidst repeated applause, and followed by appropriate music. The company broke up a little before 11 o'clock.
1. Thomas Jefferson—The national ship guided by republican virtue has passed the rock of faction, and reached the haven of prosperity.
2. James Madison—The dignity, the interest and the gratitude of our country, loudly call him to the Presidential chair.
3. George Clinton—There's none but has some fault and he's the best—
Most virtuous he, that's spotted with the least."
4. The Heads of Departments—That they may always afford from among them a Jefferson and Madison "is a consummation devoutly to be wished."
5. Our Senators in Congress—The honorable Thomas Sumter and John Galliard—their public conduct bespeak them the true organs of their constituents.
6. The hon. Robert Marion—Assailed in vain. The shafts of calumny fall harmless to the ground, when opposed to the bold front of republican virtue.
7. John Q. Adams, William L. Smith and William Gray—A discontented faction may attempt to defame their political conduct, but the generosity of freemen will reward their patriotism.
8. The Governor of the State—He has ever been known as an inflexible republican.
9. The State of Vermont—The hardy sons of the Mountain prefer suffering private embarrassment, to a loss of national dignity.
11. The State of South Carolina—The blank which was left to her in 1801, will serve to write the name of Madison on in 1808.
10. The State of Massachusetts—"If she was the cradle of our Independence in 1776, she will not become the grave of our liberties in 1808."
12. The Republicans throughout the United States—The prosperity of their country, is the sweet reward for their services.
13. The 22d of June, 1807—Poor Pierce's shade complains that we are slow,
"M'Donald's* ghost walks unreveng'd amongst us."
14. Our Brother Republicans in Camden & Columbia—"They know a hawk from a handsaw"—witness the fate of the Federal pamphlets.
15. The brave but persecuted Sons of Erin—may they never forget how a Tone perished, how an Emmet died, in defending the natural rights of man.
16. The memory of Gen. Washington—Republicans testify their attachment, not by using him as a shield, but in bearing him in grateful recollection.
17. The memory of Gadsden, Moultrie, and every departed hero of 1776—The great fabric of freedom they reared their sons will defend, or perish in its ruins.

New-Orleans, September 16. Communication of the 14th Septem.
ber, 1808.—The return of Mr. Livingston to this city has revived the old contested claim to the Batture; the investigation of this important case, we learn, commenced yesterday at the coffee house, the opinions of Messrs. Ingersoll, Rawles, Lewis, and Tilton, the jurisconsults of Philadelphia, it is said, were all read for the information of the bye-standers; the essay of the civilian, P. S. Duponceau, was also introduced, but it being lengthy and the day far spent, the reading was postponed. According to these lawyers (who have never heard but one side of the question) Mr. Livingston's claim to the Batture is unquestionable, and the President of the U. States has acted most iniquitously in taking possession of the same, as the property of the United States; nay, these lawyers say that the President, the Marshal of the territory and each and every man who assisted the marshal in executing the order of the President are liable to be sued by Mr. Livingston for damages—we have not yet heard, however, that the marshal or any citizen has retained a lawyer in their defence. The opinions of those great jurisconsults are (it is said) to be published, and the cause again brought "before the tribunal of public opinion."
Extract of a letter dated Natchitoches, August 22.
"You have heard, no doubt of the French general D'Alvimar who passed some two or three weeks ago, thro' Opelousas, on his way to Mexico. He has been stopped at Nacogdoches, in consequence of orders received by the commandant of that place (twenty days before his arrival there) from the commandant gen. Salcedo, and will be obliged to remain there until further orders. The French general took it in high dudgeon, and wrote to Salcedo in these terms:—"Sir, you may for a moment impede my progress in the country under your command, but you will not be able to prevent my going to Mexico." D'Alvimar told a friend in Nacogdoches, that he was going to take the command of 12,000 troops at Camp Jalapa, near Vera Cruz. There are seven or eight French generals on their way to that country. All the offices of government are now filled by Frenchmen, to counteract (as it is said) the plans heretofore formed by the late prince of peace."
Orleans Gaz.
Liverpool, Sept. 17.
"Since ours of the 31st, a most rapid rise has taken place in cotton, which commenced the evening of that day, and it has frequently occurred that there has been a difference of 3d per lb. between the prices of the morning and evening. Yesterday the arrival of the August packet, with advices that there is no probability of the embargo being taken off, gave another spirit: 3s. was given for new uplands, and that price refused for 300 bales. New Orleans cottons have nominally advanced in proportion; say 2s. 10d. a 3s. 1d. but the attention seems completely directed to Georgias. At a sale yesterday, Surinams only sold 3s. 2d. 1-2 and Sea Islands are 3s. to 4s. but prices may be considered as advancing, and it is not improbable may increase in the course of this day. The advance has been principally owing to speculation, in which all ranks of people in this town have embarked. The trade are fearful of giving prices going, and cotton has been sent from the manufacturing towns here for sale. For some time the principal part of the cotton has been turned over into different hands in this town; and very small proportion of the sales gone to actual consumers. Many persons are of opinion that the cotton in the country is not sufficient for two months consumption; whether this is the case appears to us doubtful, and we apprehend sufficient will be found, at least for some time, in the speculator's hands. The prices of goods have advanced, but not in proportion."
The ports of Holland have been opened for exportation of sundry articles to this country: this is considered a most extraordinary measure, but it appears doubtful whether it will be permitted unless the imports from hence are also admitted. Indeed it is understood a rigorous blockade is ordered.
Wheat has been brisk this week, and considerable sales made at 14s. supposed principally arising from go-
vernment contracts: rather higher prices demanded by some of the holders, and we have just heard of 14s. 6d. being given for old wheat.
Translated for the National Intelligencer from French papers.
Copenhagen, Aug. 19.—The following report has been published since
"The Danish nation will learn with the most lively astonishment and just indignation, that the Spanish troops which she had received with such cordial hospitality, and from whom she had a right to expect assistance, should forget the reputation for loyalty and fidelity which preceded them, by betraying their duty towards their brethren in arms the French, and by compromising the interests and security of Denmark, in forming a hostile connexion with the common enemy, and opening to him the ports of the provinces confided to their care. This enterprise has been planned, conducted and executed by the chief of these troops, the Marquis de la Romana. Acting in the most artful manner, under pretended orders of the Prince de Ponte Corvo, he put himself in exclusive possession of the fortress of Nyborg, and delivered this place, so important to the security of Fionia, into the hands of the English, always ready to profit of treasons, of surprises, and of attacking where they are sure of meeting no resistance."
"In the port of Nyborg, the enemy has made himself master of the brig of war the Fame, carrying two six-pounders and 12 carronades of 12 pounds; the sloop of war the See-Orm and the armed pilot boat the Laurvig. These vessels were not surrendered till after having courageously defended themselves for 20 minutes against the double fire of an English squadron of very superior force, and the land batteries occupied by the Spaniards."
"At Swendborg and Faaborg the Spaniards wished to possess themselves of our gun-boats; but their project having been discovered, the gun-boats were saved."
"It soon appeared that it was the intention of the Spaniards to embark under the protection of the English vessels of war which they had called to their aid, and to quit Denmark. This embarkation took place effectually at Nyborg and Swendborg, where they had seized all the transports and even the boats which they found there. Before quitting Nyborg they spiked the cannon and destroyed all the ammunition and implements of war which they found there. They had wished to carry away a train of flying artillery, but were obliged to leave them at Slipshavn, as well as their horses. At Faaborg they had the cannon also spiked and the ammunition destroyed."
"The Spanish corps which had embarked at Swendborg, and who were more than 2,600 strong, infantry, cavalry and artillery, debarked in the island of Langeland, already filled with troops of the same nation. Without suspicion of treason, the Danish troops dispersed on the shores of the island, found themselves cut off on all sides. Meanwhile, thanks to the firm and prudent conduct of major general count d'Ahlefeldt, the French colonel Gautier, taken by the Spaniards, was delivered."
"It is expected that the Spanish troops united in the island of Langeland, will speedily re-embark."
"The Spanish regiments in Jutland were also put in motion unawares by order of the marquis de la Romana; and (as far as we know) one part only of the regiment Zamora, whose cantonments were near the Little Belt, has been able to pass into Fionia."
"The other Spanish corps have been arrested in time, disarmed and made prisoners. The five thousand men who were in Zealand had committed the greatest excesses, and broken through all the bonds of subordination. His majesty has thought it necessary to retain them under a strong guard, in the fortress of Copenhagen."
"Thus, the treason of the marquis de la Romana, has delivered to our enemies the third part of the two Spanish divisions."
"At head quarters, Aug. 15, 1808. (Signed) F. RULOW, Adjutant General and Chief d'Etat Major."

Frankfort, August 23. It is announced that the famous Kotzebue is about to publish a complete collection of his works in 40 vols.
There has just appeared a German paper entitled Salameth , and designed for the Jews. This journal, edited by Jews, is to be occupied with all that can shed the lights of the age amongst the individuals who profess the Mosaic religion, to ameliorate their moral and civil condition, and to extinguish the prejudices which separate them from the rest of their fellow-citizens.
Hamburg, August 23. An English vessel of the line, having approached near Dieppe, and being surprised by a calm, the Danish flotilla of 16 gun boats under the command of capt. lieut. Fabricius, went out to attack her; the frigate making the best use of a light breeze, which then sprung up, steered for the port of Malmoe in Sweden. The gun boats pursued her for two hours, and engaged repeatedly at long shot, but were not able to cut off the retreat of the enemy.
We have received from Christian-sand, a town of Northern Norway, a detailed report of an attempt of the English pirates, the Tartar of 48 guns, and the Signal of 32 guns, to take the ships in that port. They were received by the batteries of the town with a warm fire for two hours. The English captain had by a first messenger, demanded that they should deliver to him not only the vessels, but also all the naval stores in the arsenals, or he would batter down the town. A second messenger limited his demand to the vessels alone. A third brought a proposition to cease the combat; that the English commander had judged the vessels in question were not worth the trouble of shedding more blood, and that he proposed to set sail after having restored a boat laden with private property. This proposition was accepted and the two frigates departed, sincerely injured in their rigging by their unsuccessful enterprise. Five Norwegian pilot boats had made a fortunate cruise, each bringing in a prize. The total value of this capture was estimated at 500,000 francs. One of these prizes was made in sight of the port of Edinburgh.
A court-martial has condemned all the signers of the capitulation of Copenhagen, some to be shot, and the remainder to be degraded and exiled to the island of Bornholm. It is thought that the king will pardon them.
WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2.
Gen. Wilkinson arrived in this city yesterday.
Several members of the National Legislature have already arrived in this city. Amongst them we notice Mr. Gaillard, of South-Carolina; Mr. Troup, of Georgia; Mr. Campbell, of Tennessee; Messrs. Thompson, Swarz and Wilson, of New-York; and Messrs. Varnum and Bacon, of Massachusetts.
We have heretofore avowed our belief that the British ministry are co-operating, if not by actual arrangement, yet virtually, with the opposition in this country, to produce, thro' the organ of elections, a radical change in the administration of our government. The charge is a high one, and one which we would not lightly hazard. But a multitude of concurring circumstances conspires to demonstrate the existence of the impression abroad that the opposition here to the measures of our government would ere this have been fanned into a flame, would have excited a large portion of the people to actual rebellion, have overturned the whole republican system, or, at any rate, have paved the way to its subversion by a complete revolution in its administrators. Above all, an ardent expectation has been indulged of the election of a successor to the present chief magistrate, who would subserve the views of the British cabinet by a course of measures the reverse of those pursued by Mr. Jefferson. It is a memorable fact that the August packet had arrived in England but a short time before the departure of the Hope, and that she took to England the volume of disaffection and discontent made up of the proceedings of the New England town meetings, clamoring for the suspension of the Embargo. As men's minds generally go with their wishes, this local abolition has been hailed as the commencement of an overwhelming tide that was destined rapidly to inundate the whole continent, and to prostrate every thing before its overbearing fury. Is it astonishing that these events, with the industrious circulation of the tale that the republicans were seriously divided among themselves, that Clinton was their man in one section and Monroe in another section of the
union, should have rivetted a delusion so congenial with every pre-existing prejudice? If then the impartial and honorable terms offered by our government shall not have been accepted, the rejection must be placed at the door of federalism; to their opposition to the embargo, to their violent abuse of their government, to their vindication of the British administration, to their having instilled the hope of an actual rebellion. Are we called upon for proofs? An illustrious proof is now before us. Of this disaffection the Essex Junto are the very life-blood, and Boston the laboratory. The Repository of that place, so late as the 25th of October, crediting the fact, that our government had offered to take off the embargo so far as relates to England, provided she would repeal her orders, after abusing Mr. Jefferson for thus pusillanimously striking his colors to Britain, for doing the very thing for which the federalists have for ten months loudly clamored, after audaciously charging him with becoming the humble cat-paw of France by "an attempt to bring the Emperor off in triumph and humiliate England before the world," by pursuing the very measure which they have all along urged; after this tissue of inconsistency and to-yism, breaks out in the following thoroughgoing strains:
"This view of the subject is so obvious, the British government undoubtedly are no strangers to the policy of the proposition, which Mr. Pinkney has been authorised to make to them. They reject it, probably; and what else could be expected? They reject it, and perhaps in such terms as these—"The government of the United States has thought proper to embargo all its private shipping and give up navigation. His Britannic Majesty claims no right of interfering with the domestic concerns of the United States, and makes no complaint against a measure which is avowed to have no hostile view, specially, against his government and people. The government of the United States is alone competent to decide how their commerce shall be 'regulated.' On the other hand his Majesty's Orders of Council have respect only to his enemy France. Though they do not take the high ground of the decrees of the Emperor, so far as they extend, they are simply retaliatory. The rashness of the enemy has invited his Majesty to a species of warfare, which in its operations proves most injurious to the aggressor, and will therefore be continued, until he returns to the established usages and principles of war."
Again: "The anxiety which is manifested to know what Great Britain proposes is totally superfluous. It arises from an interest we take in what will really never affect the state of our affairs, while either Mr. Jefferson or Mr. Madison have any control over them."
"No terms of accommodation that the British government could propose would win them to friendship, or conquer their determination to leave our affairs with England in an unsettled state. The whole history of our negotiation with that country bears evidence of this fact."
Further: "Of what consequence is it then to us that Great Britain is disposed to liberal conditions of adjustment, so long as they are certain to meet with no reciprocity from our government? —It is plain that nothing would have so completely embarrassed our Executive as an offer, on the part of Mr. Rose or Mr. Erskine, to subscribe to any terms that our government might dictate."
And now to cap this monstrous climax of toryism take the following extract:
"Great Britain has indeed offered all that she can, and all that she ought, to secure peace and a good understanding with us. We wish to express our convictions emphatically on this subject. We dread not that the friends of Mr. Jefferson will take our language and make a handle of it. We request them, if they dare, to take this position—make our assertion the subject of their comments, and let us canvass the matter before the public. We say more: we say it is important in the highest degree for the people of the United States to be persuaded of this truth; for Great Britain never will, and in reason never can be expected to do more to secure our interests and honor, and gain our friendship, than she has done. It is in vain therefore to attach consequence to the dispatches from England whenever they may arrive; or whatever may be their import. If we ever get free from those embarrassments, which by the act of our rulers are imposed on our country, it will result from a change of policy in the American Cabinet; the only thing that is now necessary, or that has been necessary for years, to restore that harmony, which subsisted under former
administrations, between the United States and Great Britain."
Are we not justified in drawing the following inferences from this language, inferences as clear as sun beams?
 1. That the Essex Junto are filled with the liveliest alarm at any adjustment of our differences with Britain by the present administration, unconnected with the surrender of our rights as a neutral and sovereign nation.  2. That they would infinitely prefer a continuance of the present evils than that Mr. Jefferson should effect a just and honorable compromise.  3. That the very measure for which they have been clamoring, and for not adopting which they have reviled the administration with the greatest bitterness, is a measure which meets their most vehement opposition when proposed by the administration.  4. That after having denied a thousand times that any such measure was proposed to the British government, and admitted that, if proposed, it was all that she could expect, they now, finding it has been offered for six months past, with a disgraceful inconsistency retract their opinions, and abuse the administration for proposing what they themselves recommended.  5. That they justify the conduct of the British ministry in toto , impudently and falsely alleging that their orders in Council have respect only to France, while, in fact, they sweep almost our whole trade from the ocean into British ports, and there either condemn, destroy, or render tributary our products, or reduce them to prices below the expences attending their transportation.  6. That they ridicule even the hope of an accommodation with Britain, while Mr. Jefferson or Mr. Madison are in the administration, as if the British government and themselves had sworn eternal enmity towards us while they are at the head of our affairs.  7. In the face of truth, and even of their own admissions, they declare that Britain is disposed to liberal conditions of adjustment, but that they are certain to meet with no terms of reciprocity from our government, although the terms which they themselves have so earnestly recommended have been offered.  8. They emphatically and daringly assert that Great Britain has offered all that she can, and all that she ought, to secure peace and a good understanding with us; thus not only justifying her in all her aggressions upon our rights, but plainly advising her to persist in them.  9. And finally, ending as they began, we are told that nothing but a change in the American cabinet can insure us common justice from England. 
Such is the shocking, the humiliating language of a print, published in Boston, the cradle of the revolution. What old whig that reads it but blushes for the degeneracy of the present race! But thank God such sentiments are embraced by only a few. They are not even prevalent in Boston, certainly not in Massachusetts, and the elections shew that they are rejected from the Connecticut river to the St. Mary's. They are not the sentiments of a single American republican. Let us, on this head as on all others, give our enemies their due. This horrid voice of faction is not heard in the middle, the southern or western country. Divided as their citizens are in other respects, where the great interests of the country are at stake they are all united. In South Carolina, that bright orb of the firmament, every member of her legislature, federal as well as republican, has solemnly declared his confidence in the administration, and most of those members of Congress who were at first opposed to the Embargo have since become its advocates, and, in every instance, its enforcers. Even Mr. Wagner, the Editor of the North American, whose opposition to the administration has been vehement and unremitting, in one of his latest papers holds the following language:
"Suppose for a moment, that our Executive, as is pretended in the ministerial papers, should propose explicitly and without subterfuge, that if England would recal her blockades, the embargo should be continued as to France, and withdrawn as to her: can any man suppose there would be a moment's hesitation? Certainly not.—What would be the operation of such a proposal? Why, that our embargo would produce nearly the same effect, which the orders in Council do, by shutting the ports of France, Holland, and Denmark, to our commerce. We should perhaps have the Russian trade open, and perhaps not. On the other hand England would be glad to be the first to arrange with us upon terms, which vary very little from her own wishes. If therefore the overtures alleged to have been made by our government
were real, it is not easy to see how they should have failed."
It is not true, as asserted in the N. Y. Evening Post, that the National Intelligencer has confessed that "Haley, the American messenger, is the identical Haley who defrauded the underwriters at Lloyds and cheated the Americans." The National Intelligencer has said nothing on this head. Its only notice of the copious abuse of the federal prints on this topic, has been to laugh at them for the folly of magnifying a trifle into such consequence.
Some doubts have been expressed, and distrust has been endeavored to be excited by federal prints, of the politics of Mr. Story, and particularly of his opinion in relation to the embargo. We have pleasure in removing any impression made by these attempts, by stating that at a late meeting of the "True Americans" (Republicans) of the town of Salem, Mr. Story concluded an eloquent and argumentative speech on the subject by moving the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, it is inexpedient, improper, and unnecessary, to present any petition to the Congress of the United States, respecting the embargo at the present time.
The following circumstance is noticed, as it may serve to mark the state of politics in the city of New York—Alderman Mott is a candidate for the office of an Alderman in the city of New York: a report was in circulation that he was opposed to the election of Mr. Madison, and he was therefore disapproved of by many friendly to the election of Mr. Madison to the Presidency. In order to ascertain the truth or falsehood of the report, a committee of citizens was appointed to wait on Mr. Mott, who explicitly declared that he was "favorable to the nomination of Mr. Madison, made at the city of Washington by a majority of the Republican members of Congress, in the manner heretofore adopted, and adhered to by all good Republicans." In consequence of this declaration, Mr. Mott was declared to be the republican candidate for Alderman of the 7th ward.
FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
TO THOMAS JEFFERSON, PRESIDENT OF THE U. STATES. Sir,
Accept the affectionate address of the Ketoccon Baptist association, Holden's Loudoun county, and state of Virginia, August 18th, 1808. You will permit us to offer you our sincere congratulations, while we see you about to be relieved from the labors inseparable from the trust you have been called to sustain. But while we anticipate your repose in the bosom of domestic tranquility, we deeply lament the loss of your useful services, which we believe have been a blessing to the United States; and Virginia especially is indebted to your zeal and patriotism. To you, sir, under the superintending providence of the Great Father of the human family, we feel ourselves greatly indebted for our deliverance from the galling chains of an ecclesiastical establishment. We have not forgotten, that into your hand our petition on this interesting subject was put: and we reflect, with great pleasure, on the wisdom, firmness and zeal that were manifested in every part of your conduct until the chains were broken, and religious tyranny gave up the ghost, and lay buried in eternal death never to experience a resurrection, we hope, in this happy country. The reflection becomes abundantly more pleasing when we view every part of your political life perfectly in unison with the principles that shone with such superior lustre at that early dawn of your political career. We have seen in your answers to those who have solicited your continuance in the important trust you now hold, the reasons you offer for retiring from the noise and bustle of public life, and feel conscious that age must weaken the external system, and as this is the medium through which the intellectual faculties display their force, when the former, through age or any other cause, is impaired, the latter must suffer a proportionable diminution. But at the same time it is with deep regret that we part with your useful talents, although necessity may compel the measure, and frequent changes among public officers in a republican government may best secure its permanency without a corruption of its principles: and it will be extremely pleasant should the nation succeed in the election of a person to fill the trust you hold, of like political principles with yourself, and that the government may, without variation, maintain the ground it has taken until belligerent powers are
taught to respect the principles of justice and equity, and cease to arrogate to themselves the exclusive right of dictating for others, by laws that have no foundation in justice, and are in direct opposition to the laws of all civilized nations. Suffer us to assure you, sir, that while you retire to the scenes of domestic enjoyment, we sincerely wish, under the smiles of a Gracious Providence, your comfort may exceed your most sanguine hope, and conscious rectitude shield you from all that pain which is inseparable from a self-accusing mind. Here those arrows that malice and disappointed ambition have discharged so liberally during your administration will cease to fly, while their authors make haste to find some new victim to satisfy their inveterate rage. And it is our earnest prayer that, when you are called to take leave of all the concerns of public and domestic life, the God of all mercy and goodness may, according to his own sovereign plan of saving guilty sinners, receive you to his right hand, where liberty reigns triumphant, and right and justice can never be perverted.
Done by order of the association. WM. FRISTOE, Moderator. THOMAS BUCK, Clerk.
To the Members of the Ketoccon Baptist Association.
I receive with great pleasure the affectionate address of the Ketoccon Baptist association, and am sensible how much I am indebted to the kind dispositions which dictated it.
In our early struggles for liberty, religious freedom could not fail to become a primary object. All men felt the right, and a just animation to obtain it was excited in all. And altho' your favor selected me as the organ of your petition to abolish the religious domination of a privileged church, yet I was but one of the many who befriended its object, and am entitled but in common with them to a portion of that approbation which follows the fulfilment of a duty.
The views you express of the conduct of the belligerent powers are as correct as they are affecting to the lovers of justice and humanity. These moral principles and conventional usages which have heretofore been the bond of civilized nations, which have so often preserved their peace by furnishing common rules for the measure of their rights, have now given way to force, the law of Barbarians, and the nineteenth century dawns with the Vandalism of the fifth. Nothing has been spared on our part to preserve the peace of our country, during this disempowered state of the world. But the difficulties which involve it are now at their ultimate term, and what will be their issue, time alone will disclose. But be that what it may, a recollection of our former vassalage in religion and civil government will unite the zeal of every heart, and the energy of every hand, to preserve that independence in both, which, under the favor of heaven, a disinterested devotion to the public cause first achieved, and a disinterested sacrifice of private interests will now maintain.
I am happy in your approbation of my reasons for determining to retire from a station in which the favor of my fellow-citizens has so long continued and supported me: and I return your kind prayers by supplications to the same Almighty Being for your future welfare, and that of our beloved country.

Presidential Election.
From information deemed correct, the New-York Legislature will stand thus—in joint ballot for electors:—
  For Madison 92   Against him 52 
—leaving a majority for the Washington nomination, of 40 members. I have entire reliance on this information: and though I have not changed my high opinion of Clinton's worth; yet, I know there is such a thing as labor in vain, with which some restless individuals both in New York and Virginia are tiring themselves. Opposition to Madison is very faint.

Rutland, October 22.
VERMONT LEGISLATURE.
The legislature of this state convened at Montpelier (the new seat of government) on Thursday the 13th inst. We have seen no papers from that quarter since its convention; but we learn the result of the elections are as follows:
His Excellency Isaac Tichenor, Governor.
His hon. Paul Brigham, Lt. Governor.
Elections in Joint Committee of both Houses.
Hon. Jonathan Robinson, Senator United States for six years, from the 4th of March next.
SUPREME COURT OF VERMONT.
Royal Tabor, Esq. Chief Judge.
Thompson Hildreth } Side
Jones Gatscomb } Judges.
Thus it appears that although we have a federal Governor, Vermont is safe. Republicanism has triumphed. It has triumphed over the vile machinations of federalism, treason and rebellion.
In the House of Representatives, the republican majority is seventeen.
In a joint ballot of both Houses, the republicans have a majority of ten; and in the election of the Senator and Judges of the Supreme Court, the average majorities were about that number. Hence, from information upon which we are willing to hazard the most decided opinion, Vermont will choose electors, who will give six votes for the Madisonian ticket for President.
In our success Vermont must have disappointed all. Republicans are happily disappointed and federalists sorely mortified.
We are told, and we believe it, that bribery and the most consummate corruption was attempted at Montpelier, by those who found themselves in the minority. They have lost all their trouble, and squandered thousands of dollars for nought.
We rejoice that the states can say, they have in New-England, one sister, whose lamp is found trimmed and burning.
Votes for Governor.
Table with 2 columns: Candidate, Votes. Rows: Tichenor 13,635; Smith 12,775; 4 towns illegal, in which? 192; Smith had 192 majority; Scattering 432.
Majority for Tichenor 235
As Elections in the Eastern Districts.
We have just learnt from Montpelier, that in the two Eastern Districts there is no choice of members of Congress. In the S. Eastern District the federal candidate was found three or four hundred votes in the minority, and there being two republican candidates run, made no election. In the N. Eastern District the federal candidate had about thirty votes over Mr. Fisk, and the scattering votes made no choice. New writs of election will probably issue soon, and if the republicans do their duty, Vermont will send three republican representatives to Congress, which will be one better than usual.
Extract of a letter from Montpelier, Vermont, dated October 20th.
The important question of choosing a Senator to represent this state in the Congress of the United States, was tried this afternoon, when the honorable Jonathan Robinson, Esq. was declared duly elected by a joint ballot of both houses; which proves that there is a majority of eight in grand committee for the republican ticket.
Appointment by the Spanish Government.
Mr. SANTIBANOS, Minister to the United States. Register.
Gen. W. Clarke, as agent for the United States, has lately purchased by treaty, of the Osages, 50,000 square miles of territory, lying between the rivers Arkansas and Missouri. We should be glad to see this land exchanged with the Indians who border on our northern frontier, and who, from their proximity to the English, are at all times liable to be imposed upon, to our detriment.

Extract of a letter from Bordeaux to a merchant in this city, dated 3d of September, received for the Hope.
At times small vessels have arrived here, from Guadalupe, Porto Rico, &c. chiefly loaded with coffee, which has sold at immense prices. But I suspect the English cruisers now keep a better look out, as several vessels fitted out here for our colonies have lately been captured.
Our emperor by way of encouraging navigation under the French flag, has taken a share in all adventures from this port: From this circumstance we presume, that at a future period, he aims at excluding all foreign vessels from our ports.
In the mean time, all foreign vessels now in our ports, are still detained under one pretext or other, and Americans continue to be condemned under the different decrees. It is the general opinion, that the U. S. will at length be compelled to side with one party or the other of the belligerent powers. We are but imperfectly acquainted with the conduct of the British government towards the rebels in Spain, as they are called here, but from the equivocal conduct of our leading men, there is too much reason to apprehend a rupture between this country and the U. States, and the sudden rise in colonial produce, is generally attributed to that cause.
Another American vessel, the Comet, with passengers for France, has been brought in a prize by one of our cruizers to Plymouth. This act has taken place in consequence of the orders in council, and as the Tiger, which was brought in some time since with the marquis Yrujo and other passengers, has been within a few days condemned by the admiralty court, the Comet will of course experience the same fate. This sort of condemnation promises completely to reconcile Americans to the existence of the embargo; for they must naturally ask, what would become of their other shipping if permitted to come out? London Morn. Chron.
Stockholm, 23d August.—The preparations for the attack on Abo were in great forwardness as I left Grelshy. Eleven thousand five hundred troops were already assembled under the immediate command of the King, and as soon as the regiments of Suderland, Westland, and Dalecarlia arrive, this force will be increased to 15,100 men, including 4000 landwehr, or volunteers, and 1500 cavalry.
Naples, 20th August.—We continue to enjoy the utmost tranquillity in this country. All the robbers with whom the provinces were infested, are either exterminated or have fallen into the hands of justice. The Abruzes which was their last asylum, are completely delivered from the danger of future incursions from them, and travellers are now quite as safe there as in the environs of Naples. The new constitution is combined in such a manner as to constitute the happiness of the kingdom; it is, therefore, generally considered as the most valuable present which King Joseph could have made to our country upon taking leave of it, and nothing can equal the gratitude which is felt by all the inhabitants, both old and young, towards their former sovereign. It is remarked that the clergy are not behind hand in expressing the advantages which they conceive must result to the nation which is governed by that constitution. In the pulpit, in their pastoral letters, and in their conversations, they are eager to explain the motives of the different parts and to develop its blessings.
Plymouth, Sept. 21. Came in the Snapper gun brig, with a mail and dispatches from Corunna. She brought over several passengers, among whom is a Mr. Grellet, who immediately waited on the port admiral, and from his very long residence in Corunna, is said to have brought very important intelligence respecting the political and commercial situation of Spain. This much is certain, that upwards of 70,000 Spanish troops of the line and volunteers were in full march to attack Joseph Bonaparte and his army in Burgos, who it is said is determined to stand the attack, on the issue of which the Spaniards were extremely sanguine.
Came in the American ship, Peggy, with 33 passengers for Bordeaux, from New-York, captured and sent in by the indefatigable, 44, Capt. Rudd. Passed down the channel the outward bound East-India fleet, with a fine leading wind at S. S. E. They have cleared the channel by this time. Came in the Peruvian, 18, Captain Douglas, from Gijon, with dispatches, which place she left the 15th at noon. She brings the important intelligence that the whole French force in Navarre and Biscay was concentrated in and near Burgos, as above stated, with 40,000 men, and that Blake was within a day's march of them, with 33,000 men; Castanos near him with 25,000; and Palafox well up with both armies with 25,000 men. A great battle was daily expected to be fought, on which might hinge the fate of Spain. The French are said, out of the 150,000 men they had in Spain, to have lost in killed, wounded and prisoners, nearly 110,000 men.
BATTLE OF GERONA. Tarragona, August 22.—From the dispatches transmitted to his excellency the captain general of this principality, by count Galdagues,
commander of the army of Gerona, dated the 18th inst. we collect the following narrative of the details of the glorious victory acquired by the troops composing that army.
The count having received orders to compel the French to raise the siege of Gerona, instantly resolved to carry them into execution with his characteristic gallantry. He began his march, for this purpose, from Mortorell, and being informed on his route, that the enemy's force was not less than from 7 to 8000 infantry, and from 8 to 900 cavalry, with complete train of artillery, he proceeded to a complete junction between such troops as he could collect from the precincts of Queh, Manresa, Granollers and Tarragona, & those that were commanded by cap. D. Carlos, and who had been at some time occupied in annoying the separate convoys which the enemy were conducting from France, by the way of Figueras to Gerona. On his arrival at the town of Castella, he found that he could muster about 5000 men in arms; and though there were among them only about 300 veterans, and but a few more that were formed into companies ofmiquelets, he did not hesitate a moment to attack the enemy, upon a system adapted to the nature of his and their force. On the 15th, in the morning he reconnoitred the camp and position of Duhesme. The forces of Monjuí, reduced to the utmost extremity, could scarcely hold out twelve hours, in which case the loss of Gerona would be inevitable. He therefore immediately issued orders for an attack the next morning, according to the following plan: Don Juan Claros, who was posted at Los Angeles with 2500 miquelets and peasants, was to move from his position as soon as the advanced guard of the main body came in sight, and to attack the hermitage of St. Miguel, which was occupied by the French; then forming his force into two or three columns, he was to proceed to attack the remaining positions of the enemy, until he had dislodged them from the town of Camdura, and the adjoining encampment. Here he was to maintain himself, in order to prevent the junction of any succors which the enemy might bring from Sarria and Pont Major, to draw off the attention of the troops occupied in the siege of Monjuí, and thus to facilitate a sally from the fortress, whilst Galdagues should in the mean time support these operations, by attacking the batteries which played upon Monjuí in breach and in reverse.
This meritorious commander arranged his march in four divisions. The first was under the command of Don Francisco Milans, who, with 500 men, was to lead the van, and serve as a skirmishing party; to this division were attached 50 royal sappers commanded by Don Honorat de Fleires, and two field-pieces, under the command of Don Diego de Lara, lieut. of the royal corps of artillery. The second division consisted of 230 of the infantry of Soria, and 948 miquelets, under the command of Don Manuel Bdet, capt. of grenadiers. The third consisted of 743 men of the 3d battalion of Lerida, commanded by col. Don Juan Baget, whose rear was covered by the two remaining field-pieces. The 4th column or the corps of reserve, consisted of 1,445 grenadiers of Bourbon in their van, under the orders of Don Juan O'Donovan, commandant of the 3d battalion of the regiment of infantry of Tironia. Proceeding in this order, and arriving within a suitable distance of the enemy, who were besieging Menjuia, he ordered the division of Milans to form two subdivisions, and to ascend the mountain to the right and left; and that, at the same time, the 2d and 3d columns should rapidly advance both to favor the sally from the fortress and to pursue the enemy posted at St. Miguel, their advanced parties, and those who occupied the pass and the encampment of Camdura, who were then retreating before the troops of Claros; and afterwards to proceed against those who were posted at Sarria and Pont Major.
It was concerted with judgment & foresight, the result most completely corresponded with it. All who had any share in executing it gave the most brilliant proofs of their skill and valor. The regiment of Uldonia, the 2d Barcelona, those irresistible warriors under the command of their worthy officers and valiant chiefs, D. Narciso d la Varata and D. Henrique O'Donnell, attacked the enemy's batteries with the bayonet, with such ardor and celerity, that they scarcely gave the enemy time to think of resistance. Defeated and thrown into confusion in their positions, they perished or fled under the impulse of the terror with which they were struck by the valor of the above mentioned troops. A moment of repose induced them to return in order to
conquer what they had just so ignominiously lost; but in this they were disappointed by the opportune arrival of 2d division; and on the advance of a small party of the grenadiers of Soria, under the command of the brave commander lieut. D. Tudeo Aldoa, who received a wound, the enemy retreated. Beaten at all points, they precipitately sought for safety in the centre of the plain of Sarria, on the other side of the river, and under the protection of the whole of their cavalry.
In this description of force we were unfortunately deficient, owing to the governor of Majorca having refused to assist us with the regiment of Spanish Hussars, who having been raised in time of war, having served with reputation, and being in a better and more complete condition than any other corps in Spain, would, beyond all doubt, have completely routed the enemy on this occasion; but instead of this, the brave men who are so lavish of their blood in the service of their king and country, groan under the misfortune of not having been able to reap the just fruits of their heroism.
The engagement commenced at 7 in the morning, and lasted until late in the evening, when there being no longer any enemy to fight, the commander gave orders for properly garrisoning the different points of defence, and for permitting the troops to repose themselves. At day-break advice was received, that the enemy were retreating in two divisions; one towards Barcelona, and the other towards Figueras, the only points of rendezvous which remained to them, leaving behind them considerable quantities of powder, shells, grenades, ball, cannon, howitzers, mortars, muskets, wheat, and other articles, the fruit of their rapine. Milans and Claros are pursuing them in their retreat, in the routes which they have respectively taken.
Such is the result of this memorable day, in which the troops, miquelets, and peasants have covered themselves with glory. Gerona is delivered—Duhesme humbled—the garrison of Barcelona extremely weakened—our troops flushed with an ardor suited to the advantages they have obtained, and the eagles of the great Napoleon laid prostrate in the dust, and beseamed with the blood of his legions. Though we have not yet received a detailed statement of their killed and wounded, we can positively assert that on the tops and sides of the mountains, in the dales, in the vicinity of the farm houses, and in short in all directions, are to be seen the dead bodies of Frenchmen; and, according to the information received, they carried with them thirty waggons filled with the wounded.
In acknowledging in general the merit of all those who contributed to this victory, and their indisputable claims to the gratitude of their country, we feel it our duty to particularise the individuals who commanded at the different points of attack, inasmuch as their dispositions principally contributed to the glory of his majesty's arms. In this list we have to mention D. Narciso de la Valera, commandant of the 2d of Barcelona; D. Francisco Milans Del Bosch, lieut. col. of the garrison battalion of Ceuta; D. Juan O'Donovan, commandant of the 2d battalion of Uldonia; D. Henrique O'Donnell, Serjeant major of the same corps, who has been wounded; D. Juan Baget, col. and commandant of the 3d of Lerida; Don Juan Claros, a capt. on the half pay; Don Manuel Bdet, captain of the grenadiers of the regiment of Soria; Don Manuel Montessinos, capt. of the infantry of Estremadura; Don Manuel Antunez, ensign in the Spanish guards; Don Cosme Garcías, Brevet capt. in the Bourbon regiment of infantry; and Don Tomas Garcías, com'dt. of the corps of Veguda: all of them are deserving of their country's gratitude, and are entitled to the consideration of your excellency. I have also to recommend, in a particular manner, Don Joseph Alloi, serjeant maj. of engineers, acting as major gen. of the division he served with, and whose skill and bravery most certainly contributed chiefly to its successful operation; and finally, Don Santiago Nogues, lieut. in the regiment of Bourbon, who acted as his aid-de-camp, and who with the utmost celerity, and amidst the greatest dangers, carried his orders to all points.
Since the arrival of the above dispatches, his excellency has received others from Hostalrich, Mataro, Granollers, and Calella, detailing various encounters with the fugitives on the road to Barcelona, in all of which they proved to be in a state of complete disorder, and at every step of their progress many of them paid the forfeit of their lives; so that their dead, almost touching each other as they fell, clearly mark out their track
till their arrival at Barcelona, where without knapsacks, muskets, or even their orderly books, their remains, being about 800, formed a junction with a corps which advanced from Barcelona to protect them in their flight. Their passage through the country cost them 1200 men. Most assuredly they have good cause to learn, as is their practice, all the turnpike and bridge gates in Catalonia, for we must do them the justice to admit, that the toll they have paid has been rather extravagant.
It is affirmed that Lecchi ordered the cannon of Barcelona to be immediately fired, to announce an event so fortunate to his arms. Catalonia would at this moment be completely rid of those miscreants, were it not for the walls of Barcelona and Figueras, the only places of refuge for their cowardice. But these strong holds will avail them little; the bravery of our army will speedily overcome them.
From the returns annexed to these dispatches, it appears that our loss on the 15th was, of the regulars 7 killed and 38 wounded, and of the miquelets 15 killed and 70 wounded, and 13 missing.
