The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

AN ADDRESS To Christians of every Denomination IN THE UNITED STATES; ON THE Subject of the ensuing Presidential Election. Friends, Countrymen, and Fellow-Christians,
AMONG the various addresses presented to the public, on the subject of the ensuing presidential election, I have not observed any one that views it in that light which should principally attract the attention of a Christian. I am well aware that the bare mention of this observation will excite in many the feelings of scorn and the smile of contempt. Persons accustomed to deride or disregard all connection between political happiness and the Christian religion will, of course, upon perceiving the object of this address, disdainfully throw it aside as the fanatical effusions of a drivelling mind; and even some grave characters, who pass for Christians, will not acknowledge the propriety of coupling the sanctions of religion with the politics of a state. To persons of this description, these reflections are not addressed. It is too well known that they meddle not with such things, unless it be with a view to expose them to ridicule, and laugh them to scorn. But to the real Christians in these states, it may not, perhaps, appear a matter of indifference, or of superfluous attention to examine, how far the principles of their divine religion, which, they acknowledge, should influence the whole tenor of their conduct, ought to be applied to the exercise of one of the most important duties of society. Incalculable indeed, would be the benefit to the world, at any rate to the Christian world, if the avowed disciples of the Lord Jesus would cease to consider themselves on any account exempted from the duty of extending his kingdom, or to cherish any metaphysical distinction between their religious and political obligations. Such distinction must surely be highly inconsistent with that singleness of heart, and that simplicity of character, which constitute the chief objects of a Christian's ambition. If a Christian "cannot serve God and Mammon," so neither can he pray, or labor for the extension of God's kingdom, and at the same time contribute to place power in their hands, who are either enemies to this kingdom or indifferent to its prosperity. It is the want of this unity in the Christian character that renders it so light in the scale of nations, and frequently enables men of intrigue to sport with it as they please. When the same principle that actuates man's eternal interests, is not deemed necessary to direct such as are temporal, the sanctions meant by providence for the harmony and prosperity of the world become divested of half their efficacy: and while a person conceives himself to be a follower of Christ, he is perhaps, acting in concert with his most determined enemies, a dupe to their professions, and extending, unwittingly, the sphere of their mischievous machinations. Fellow-Christians of every name, we all acknowledge what our common religion expressly inculcates, that this life is nothing more than an introduction to another. We are taught explicitly to preserve the recollection of this great truth through every representation of every subject; so that a Christian, as a nervous writer expresses it,* "is not allowed to contemplate any of the interests of life in a view which detaches them from the grand object and conditions of life itself. An apostle could not address his friends on the most common concerns, for the length of a page, without the final references. He is like a person whose eye, while he is conversing with you about an object, or a succession of objects immediately near, glances, with thoughtful consciousness, every moment toward some great spectacle appearing on the distant horizon.
"The correct consequence of conversing with our Lord and his apostles would be, that the thought of immortality should become as habitually present and familiarized to the mind, as the countenance of a domestic friend. That it should be the grand test of the value of all pursuits, friendships and
* Foster's Essays.
speculations; and that it should mingle a certain nobleness with every thing which it permitted to occupy our time."
It being, therefore, the unquestionable obligation of every true Christian to keep steadily in view the promotion of God's glory, and the best interests of mankind both temporal and eternal, can any reason be alleged, why in the exercise of his highest civil prerogative, why, in the exercise of his elective right alone, these sanctions of piety should be disregarded? Is not the spirit of party, which blinds a Christian in such an important function, as culpable a principle of action as those which mislead him on other occasions? Or can he so far forget his holy profession, or mistake its duties, as to conceive himself authorized, in this instance only, to overlook what he owes to God, to society, and to himself. A Christian must acknowledge, that "righteousness exalteth a nation;" that "by the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but that it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked." With what incontrovertible evidence, therefore, does it not follow, that to promote this righteousness must be the bounden duty of every Christian citizen, and to contribute all in his power to place those upright men over the city, by whose blessing it may prosper, and to remove those wicked men by whose mouth it is overthrown? Will a zealous Christian make it the last, or no subject of his enquiry, how the candidates for his suffrage stand affected to the Lord Jesus and his religion? Surely when called upon solemnly to confer upon fellow citizens the power of electing to the highest station among us, the faithful Christian ought to reflect, whether persons of his choice will be likely to promote the glory or the service of God; whether they have ever exhibited any proof of their belief in the great Redeemer, or of veneration for his religion. And, when a person who has never done this, is made the ruler of a nation, or the elector of such a ruler, by the united and voluntary suffrages both of unbelievers and of Christians, will the latter flatter themselves that their religious conduct in other respects can exempt them from the national guilt incurred in this? For, that national guilt attaches to the deliberate national choice of a supreme magistrate, who is known to be, or is supposed to be an unbeliever, or to an appointment of electors, who, it is previously known, will make his choice, no consistent Christian can possibly deny. In fact, what greater insult can be offered to the majesty of God, by a professing Christian, than to sanction any influence in society, which may tend to the contempt or rejection of the Great Messenger of Salvation? There can be no greater infatuation than not to perceive an insult of this nature; no greater folly than to rely upon Providence in our national concerns; and yet deliberately assist in raising those men to direct them, who are hostile or indifferent, to Him, whose "inheritance are all the nations of the earth;" "and yet this infatuation," says the sagacious Dr. Hartley, "has ever attended all failing states. The kingdoms of Judah and Israel, which are the types of all the rest, were thus infatuated: and Christendom in general seems ready to assume to itself the place and lot of the Jews, after they had rejected their Messiah, the Savior of the world. Let no man deceive himself or others. The present circumstances of the world are extraordinary and critical beyond what has ever yet happened." When Dr. Hartley, as Dr. Knox observes, speaks of the consequences of rejecting the Messiah, he "may, perhaps gain the attention of modern philosophers, as he happens to be a favorite object among some of their leaders;" and he goes on to observe, "that the present calamities of the world are derived from the neglect and contempt of the Christian religion, is an opinion perfectly consistent with scripture, and that greater than have yet been experienced, may be dreaded from the rejection of the Messiah." Now, let me ask any Christian who pays the slightest attention to observations of this kind, whether in voting for electors of a national ruler or president, he can reconcile it to his conscience to promote the appointment of any man, who is generally regarded as an unbeliever in the Christian religion? If he consider such unbelief as sinful in itself, and calculated to bring down curses upon a nation, how can he countenance it, without partaking in its guilt? This train of argument must appear so evident to every Christian, that to pursue it any further would look like an insult upon his sincerity and understanding. It remains then to be shown how this reasoning applies more particularly to the person who is now held up as a candidate for the presidential chair. In speaking of this gentleman, I mean to confine myself entirely to his religious principles, as manifested by his outward conduct, and appreciated by the general opinion of the country; previously observing, that, while regarding with can-
dor and liberality, mingled with pity and sorrow, the lamentable aberrations of deistical individuals in private life, the consistent believer will omit no personal influence, no legal exertions to prevent these principles and their fatal consequences from appearing in the highest functionaries of the state. Christian charity can never be suffered to take so ample a range as to include within the same limits the restraints of religion and the loose casuistry of infidelity. Other acquirements being equal, the Christian must prefer the religionist to the unbeliever; or, he violates his conscience. He must solemnly believe, and zealously contend, that the best men are the best patriots, and that sincere Christians are the best men.
On the score of his religious principles, therefore, be they ever so foreign to the doctrines of the gospel, a true Christian will cherish no sentiments towards the secretary of state but those of kindness and good will. But, to contribute in placing him at the head of the nation, is quite another thing, altogether incompatible with every principle of religion and conscience. Nay, supposing him even to be capable; supposing him to be honest; with a heart and head altogether American (all very questionable suppositions to the writer of this address) with nerves sufficiently braced to encounter the political whirlwind now sweeping over the earth and desolating nations; to listen unappalled to the tempest roaring from afar, and to direct it, should it ever reach our shores—Supposing, I say, the secretary to be all this; yet could a Christian, zealous for the glory of his master, and the establishment of his kingdom, assist in placing him at the head of the nation, while any doubts remain of his religious opinions, nay, while the common presumption is, that he is really an unbeliever? If it be asked on what grounds this presumption is founded, the answer is, on the total want of evidence, on the part of the secretary, that he believes in Christianity. Whether in private conversation he ever commits himself on the subject of religion, I am not authorized to say; but certain it is, he is never seen in any place of religious worship, and his close intimacy with the president, who deems it a matter of indifference whether a nation worship one God or twenty, forms, at least, a probable conjecture, that their religious opinions are very congenial. The president, indeed, talks sometimes of Providence over national concerns: so did the old Romans: and so do the Turks; and such also would probably be the language of the secretary. But, during the eight long years of these men's reign, has Providence been ever acknowledged, or appealed to, as that Divine Providence revealed to us in the Scriptures? Has any public token been given, or required by those rulers, of our national dependence upon Providence? Has a single day been set aside publicly to implore the blessings of Providence upon the country? What must a Christian think of the habitual violation of the Lord's day, and the scriptural denunciations against it? And yet, if public information be correct, no respect is paid to this Christian institution in or by the Secretary's family, with the exception, it is said, of his pious and venerable mother. Is he himself too wise for instruction, or others of his household too light and frivolous for restraint? It would not be difficult to mention other well grounded suspicions of this gentleman's deistical principles. His noted partiality for the French revolutionists at a time when they were hanging their clergy at the lamp posts, and murdering them by thousands; when for the Supreme God, and his Christ, they were substituting in their temples the goddess of Reason, and adoring the new Divinity in the person of a prostitute; when they were declaring death to be an everlasting sleep—all this creates a conjecture more than plausible, that the doctrines of Christianity share but little of his attention or esteem. Nay, it is well, if a rooted hostility to these doctrines do not rankle in his heart. What, in fact, will the advocates of the gentle secretary think, or say, when they are informed, upon the authority of a highly respectable clergyman still living, that when the accounts reached Philadelphia of the horrid massacres of the French clergy, Mr. Madison observed with cool complacency to Mr. William Bedford, then attorney general of the United States, "that the French had got rid of a great political evil, and that it would be well for this country, if it could do the same." These words, or others of a similar import, were, a few moments after they were spoken, related by Mr. Bedford to the above mentioned clergyman, whose name, if made public, would carry conviction to every person of his acquaintance.

2. The crown of Naples and Sicily, is hereditary in the direct descendants, natural and legitimate of the said Prince Joachim Napoleon, from male to male in the order of primogeniture, to the perpetual exclusion of females.
3. Nevertheless, in case our dear and well beloved sister the princess Caroline should survive her husband, she shall ascend to the throne.
4. On the demise of our dear and well beloved brother-in-law prince Joachim Napoleon, and of our dear and well beloved sister princess Caroline, and in default of male descendants, natural and legitimate, of the said prince Joachim Napoleon, the crown of Naples and Sicily shall devolve to us and to our heirs, male descendants, natural and legitimate or adopted.
In default of our male descendants, natural and legitimate or adopted, the crown of Naples and Sicily shall descend to the male descendants natural and legitimate of Prince Joseph Napoleon, king of Spain and the Indies.
In default of male descendants natural and legitimate, of prince Louis Napoleon, the crown shall descend to the male descendants natural and legitimate of prince Jerome Napoleon, king of Westphalia.
And in case this last named king shall have no male children, the crown shall descend to him who shall be designated in our will, either amongst our nearest relations, or amongst those whom we may judge the most worthy to govern the two Sicilies.
5. Prince Joachim Napoleon, become king of the Two Sicilies, shall be invested with the dignity of grand admiral of France; which title shall be attached to the crown so long as the order of succession established by the present statute shall exist.
The present constitutional statute shall be registered in the archives of the council of state; transcribed on the registers of the courts and tribunals of the kingdom, and published according to the usual forms.
Given at our imperial and royal palace at Bayonne, the 15th July, 1808.

BY THE LAST MAIL.
NEW-YORK, October 11.
Late from Europe.
The following extracts are made from London papers to the 27th of August, received per the British ship Argo, from Liverpool—continued from yesterday's Gazette. The Vienna article, copied from the Paris official paper, is no doubt correct—and if so, interesting to the United States.
LONDON, August 22.
The Dutch papers to the 9th inst. continue to trace the rout of Napoleon, on his return from Bayonne. In these papers we find a partial translation of his Britannic Majesty's speech, on the prorogation of Parliament; but at the precise point where mention is made of the affairs of Spain, the Journalist thinks it prudent to leave off! But we learn from private letters of the 8th inst. a few incidents of a more interesting nature. By these we are informed, that a few nights preceding that date, several of the Spanish Proclamations and official accounts of the proceedings of the patriots of Spain had been posted up secretly in the Rotterdam Exchange, and likewise in the streets of that city. The consequence was, that orders were given the following morning to destroy all papers of this description that could be found, and to declare them public property to be forgeries. In the course of the day, an hundred guilders reward was offered on conviction of the person or persons who posted and distributed the said seditious documents.
Last night arrived two Gottenburg mails, by which we have obtained a confirmation of the reported victory gained by Count Klingspor over the Russian army, far superior in numbers. Colonel Von Essen had been previously dispatched to attack the enemy at Dunkars, by way of making a diversion in favor of Count Klingspor's attack at Loppo; but finding the enemy too strong to be attacked with any prospect of success, he received orders to attempt to turn his flank; previous to making this attempt the enemy thought proper to retreat with precipitation burning the bridges as he passed over, and raising every obstacle to a pursuit. Accounts from Gottenburgh mention a report said to be current there, that Russia is about to join France in a war against Austria. We think, under the present aspect of affairs, there is not the least probability that such an event is in contemplation. Captain Hope of the Victory, is said to have embarked on the 9th instant, with dispatches from admiral Saumarez, for England. As this gentleman is captain of the fleet, the dispatches must be of very considerable importance to induce him to quit his station.
It is said, that Joseph Bonaparte arrived at Vittoria on the 22d instant, and on the following day continued his route to France—that a division of the French troops, encumbered by the baggage of the army, its plunder and its sick, had been surprised on the borders of the principality of Burgos, by a body of Arragonian patriots, under the orders of the elder brother of general Palafox, and cut to pieces. It was likewise stated, that the Gallician army under general Blake, had again advanced to the river Carrion to resume offensive operation; and that the Castilian levies under general Ponte, had entered Castel, and pushed its advanced guard to Orduna, within a few leagues of Vittoria. We give this but as a mere rumor, resting on what we know not what authority. The wind has not within these few days, been favorable for the receipt of news from Spain or Portugal.
In contemplation of this new aspect of affairs, an order has been issued by the Commander in chief to suspend the embarkation of the fourth expedition.
August 27.
A Telegraphic message was received at the Admiralty yesterday evening from Plymouth, announcing the arrival of a vessel with the important and grateful intelligence of the provinces of Biscay having declared in favor of the patriots and risen against the French. The particulars will not reach us till this evening.
Lucien Bonaparte feeling himself insecure while within the reach of his brother Napoleon, "has actually applied to the king of Sardinia and to Mr. Hill, the British envoy at Cagliari, for passports for himself and family to go to the United States of America."
It is ascertained in a morning paper, that a letter from Rochefort, of the 8th inst. from a most respectable quarter, says, that several petitions were presented by the merchants of that place to Bonaparte, during his recent visit, praying that the embargo might be taken off neutral vessels. His answer was that he could not give them a decisive answer until he had taken the advice of his council; but that it was possible, the time was no great distance, when he would permit them even to renew their intercourse—even with England."
VIENNA, July 27.
The order not to admit any more American ships into our ports has been issued by the State Chancery, and has been made known to the different officers commissioned for that purpose. The commandants have been expressly ordered not to admit any of their ships, even though their captains should be able to shew that they were loaded at friendly or neutral ports. By this regulation all kinds of deception will be prevented. The prohibition connected with this, to admit the English, is in like manner renewed, and will be enforced with the greatest strictness. The ordinance respecting the introduction of all English goods, from whatever country they may come, will appear in a few days. We are assured that our ports will in like manner be shut to the Sicilian, Maltese, Swedish and Sardinian flags, as being allied with England.— Moniteur , Aug. 9.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 16.
The day before yesterday a ship of the line, of 100 guns, and three frigates were launched. They are now to be conveyed to Cronstadt, where they will be fitted out for immediate service.
A squadron, composed of several sail of the line and frigates, are shortly to sail from Cronstadt, under the orders of admiral Channicof.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15.
A thousand idle rumors have been in circulation relative to the British Packet. In the absence of Captain Decatur, who is at Philadelphia, one of the officers of the Chesapeake boarded the Packet, and asked for her clearance. As Packets never have clearances, Captain Hamilton, of course, could not gratify him. He then wanted to see Capt. H's. credentials, which were refused, as it was an unprecedented demand. The Packet was anchored along side the Chesapeake, and the Captain returned to town to receive the advice of the British Consul. We understand the Packet has received permission to proceed, but the wind being ahead, she remained at Staten-Island last evening— New York pa.
Our democrats have at last given up the administration, and acknowledge that all their strong measures have proved weak, and their wise projects have returned out to be very foolish. "It now remains," say they, "for the representatives of the nation to decide on the state of public affairs." It might have been well for the nation if their representatives had decided on the state of public affairs at the last session. But in compliment to Mr. Jefferson they very wisely allowed him to try his experiment; and for this complaisance they will at the approaching session find they have lost one year in time, and an hundred in opportunity. While Mr. Jefferson has been giving "time to the belligerent nations to revise their conduct," the face of the world has been changed, and, with respect to our relations with foreign nations, much for the worse.—When the officers of administration acknowledge they can do no more "to conciliate and restore us to harmony with foreign powers," it is high time for them to retire, and make room for others, who may perhaps be more fortunate.— Washington Fed.
FOOD FOR DEMOCRATS.
A story no doubt originating among some of our Embargoites, has been circulated thro' our papers that the inhabitants of St. Thomas's were generally leaving the island on account of the want of provisions. This story gave great delight to many of our advocates for the relief of "oppressed humanity;" it being, according to their creed, the height of beneficence, to starve the English and to feast the French—Unluckily, however, this enjoyment, has been but of short duration. We have made the following extract from a letter received by a respectable mercantile house in this city. It is dated St. Thomas's, September 7th, 1808.— New York Com. Ad.
"Provisions of every description are here plenty and very dull sale. There have arrived here within four days, four American vessels with provisions and lumber; also a ship from London with 800 barrels of flour and 500 barrels beef and pork—so you see we don't care much about the embargo."
COMMUNICATION.
I observed written with chalk, doubtless by some unlettered sufferer from the measures of the administration, the following on the fence of the Swedish church:
"If you wish to cure your cough, Take the d—d Embargo off!"
he very wisely, though perhaps inadvertently, compares the embargo to a cough:—a cough is the ground work of a consumption, and all allow consumption undermine the CONSTITUTION!

COPY OF A LETTER
From the President of the U. States
TO
THE KING OF HOLLAND.
GREAT AND GOOD FRIEND!
HAVING received your letter of September last, which notifies your accession to the throne of Holland, I render you, in behalf of the United States, MY congratulations on this event. Connected with your nation by the earliest ties of friendship, and maintaining with her uninterrupted relations of peace and commerce, no event which interests their welfare can be indifferent to the United States. It is, therefore, with the greatest pleasure I receive the assurances of your majesty, that you will continue to cherish those ancient relations, and WE shall, on OUR part, endeavor to strengthen your good will by a faithful observance of justice, and by all the good offices which occasion shall permit.
Distant as we are from the powers of Europe, and devoted to pursuits which separate us from their affairs, we still look with BROTHERLY concern on what affects those nations, and offer constant PRAYERS for their welfare. With a FRIENDLY solicitude for your majesty's person, I PRAY God, that he may always have you GREAT and GOOD FRIEND in his holy keeping.
Written at the city of Washington, the 25th day of February, 1807.
THOMAS JEFFERSON.
By order of the President,
JAMES MADISON, Secretary of State.
MONITORIAL.
GOD, in his divine mercy, says Sadi the Philosopher, introduced a certain vicious man into a society of religious people, whose manners were pure and holy. Struck with their virtues he quickly began to immitate them, to shake off all his former habits: in a word to be a model of justice, of sobriety, of patience, of industry, and of benevolence. His good works are undeniable, but people imputed them to unworthy motives. They were always for judging of him by what he had been; not by what he was.—Overwhelmed with sorrow, he poured forth his tears into the bosom of an ancient Solitary, who was more just, as well as more humane than the rest.
"O my son," said the old man to him "return thanks to the Almighty, that thou art superior to thy reputation: Happy he who can say, my enemies and my rivals stigmatize me for vices of which I am not guilty. If thou art good, what matters it to thee that men persecute, and even punish thee, as being one of the wicked? Hast thou not for thy comfort, two unerring testimonies of thy actions, GOD and thy conscience?"

ANCHOR TAVERN, GEORGE-TOWN.
Beef Stake and Oyster House, REVIVED, BY GEORGE PITT.
FROM the repeated and sincere solicitations of his real friends, and other transient, respectable characters, who visited his house when occupying the above tavern, he with much pleasure, informs them, that it has been completely repaired, and improvements added, so as to make it comfortable and convenient to the weary traveller—retired apartments for the philosopher, or man of business—an extensive view of that beautiful island belonging to General John Mason, river Potomac, &c. A copious and elegant garden, with rural and public walks and arbors, for the desponding lover to meditate on the object of his affections—and the man of pleasure to pass away many a dull and tedious hour. And its being in the centre of the town, near the banks and other offices, and the nearest tavern to commercial characters, renders his situation more convenient to the planter, farmer, and man of business; and gives it a decided preference over any other—to which add the keeping of good and attentive servants; the best of regulations in his house; liquors equal to any in the Union, good beds, wholesome diet, moderate charges, and a determination to use every exertion in his power to give general satisfaction, he flatters himself that he shall meet with that support from a generous and discerning public which his attention and merit may entitle him to.
Gentlemen, and those who act as such, may be accommodated with Oyster Suppers, at sixty-two and half cents each, at any hour in the night, in parties not less than four in number—If less, they will be charged with four suppers.
As the ensuing races are expected to be more respectable than formerly, all gentlemen sportsmen may depend on being accommodated with good stabling, careful hostlers, the best of hay, horse feed of every description and every attention paid to their nags, fillies, &c.
Private stables for two or three running horses, with accommodations for grooms, &c. G. P. October 12
