EXTRACT FROM MARMION.
A Tale of Floddenfield.
"The battle is described," says an English reviewer, "as it appeared to the two squires of Lord Marmion, who were left on an eminence in the rear, as the guard of Lady Clare. And certainly, of all the poetical battles which have been fought from the days of Homer to those of Mr. Southey, there is none, in our opinion, at all comparable, for interest and animation—for breadth of drawing and magnificence of effect—with this of Mr. Scott's.—The Scottish army set five to its camp on the brow of the hill, and rushed down to the attack under cover of the smoke of the conflagration."
Volum'd and vast, and rolling far, The cloud envelop'd Scotland's war, As down the hill they broke ; Nor martial shout, nor minstrel tone, Announc'd their march ; their tread alone, At times one warning trumpet blown, At times a stifled hum, Told England, from his mountain throne King James did rushing come. Scarce could they hear or see their foes, Until at weapon point they close. They close in clouds of smoke and dust, With sword sway, and with lance thrust ; And such a yell was there, Of sudden and portentous birth, As if men fought upon the earth, And fields in upper air. Long look'd the anxious squires, ; their eye Could in the darkness nought descry.
At length, the fresh'ning western blast Aside the shroud of battle cast ; And first, the ridge of mingled spears Above the bright'ning cloud appears ; And in the smoke the pennons flew, As in the storm the white sea-mew. Then mark'd they, dashing broad and far, The broken billows of the war, And plumed crests of chieftains brave, Floating like foam upon the wave : And as they on the battle on the plain ; Spears shook, and falchions flash'd amain ; Fell England's arrow-flight like rain ; Crests rose, and stoop'd, and rose again, Wild and disorderly. Amidst the scene of tumult, high They saw Lord Marmion's falchion fly : And stainless Tanstall's banner white, And Edmund Howard's lion bright, Still bear them bravely in the fight : Although against them come, Of gallant Gordons many a one, And many a stubborn Highlandman, And many a rugged border clan, With Huntley and with Home.
Far on the left, unseen the while, Stanley broke Lennox and Argyle ; Though there the western mountaineer Rush'd with bare bosom on the spear, And flung the feeble targe aside, And with both hands the broad-sword plied ; 'Twas vain. But Fortune on the right, With fickle smile cheer'd Scotland's fight. Then fell that spotless banner white, The Howard's lion fell ; Yet still Lord Marmion's falchion flew, With wavering flight, while fiercer grew, Around the battle yell, The Border slogan rent the sky : A Home ! A Gordon ! was the cry ; Loud were the clanging blows ; Advanc'd—forc'd back—now low, now high, The pennon sunk and rose ; As bends the bark's mast in the gale, When rent are rigging, shrouds and sail, It waver'd 'mid the the foes.
At the solicitation of a number of our country friends, we shall commence, on the 9th of this month, the publication of a paper for the country, three times a week , which will contain all the matter and advertisements published in the daily paper. The price will be FIVE DOLLARS per annum.
Such of our present patrons as reside on the route where the mail goes but once a week, will be furnished with the country paper in lieu of the daily one, unless ordered otherwise.
AUGUSTA COUNTY MEETING.
FROM THE STAUNTON CENSOR.
AT a meeting of a number of the respectable freeholders of the county of Augusta on Saturday the 17th day of September, 1808, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present crisis of public affairs—gen. R. Porterfield was appointed chairman, and Samuel Clarke , sec'ry.
The chairman having informed the meeting that the objects thereof were to take into consideration the present situation of the country as it respects the operation of the embargo law, to express their opinion on the policy which dictated it, and the expediency of its continuance—and also to adopt such measures as might be deemed necessary to support the election of a federal president and vice-president, and a federal representative for this congressional district,
On motion, Alexander Nelson , Carter Beverley , James Bell , Andrew Anderson , William Robertson , Alexander Robertson and Alexander St. Clair , were appointed a committee to draft suitable resolutions to be proposed to the meeting.
The committee then retired and prepared the following:
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE U. STATES.
SIR, WE, the freeholders of Augusta county, at the court-house in the town of Staunton, duly assembled according to public notice given in the newspaper, hereby beg leave to approach the executive branch of government with such expressions of the political sentiments of the county aforesaid as seemeth to us meet and proper. The fundamental principle of our constitution has always been considered to mean, that the power of each branch of the government being derived from the people, they of necessity have the right to control the operations of it, and for that purpose it has been generally acknowledged, that the legitimacy of the government is alone the sovereignty of the people. Viewing it therefore a right we possess, (coequal with the formation of the compact) that whenever public exigencies shall require the expression of the individual opinion, it should be freely and fully declared, we have thus assembled to take into consideration the present unhappy situation of our country, and after the most mature and deliberate reflection, we deem it our duty to lay before you the following expressions of our feelings.
The prosperity of the U. States has invariably depended upon commerce, maintained and supported by a just regard to our national honor, and we view it therefore of deep regret to the nation, that after nine months experience of the embargo law, we are left, ruinous and dreadful as the consequences are, to deplore a continuation of it without any serious prospect whatever of its being repealed. As long as it was thought right to indulge our rulers in a trial of the experiment, we have in common with the great mass of the good people of the U. States, silently submitted to the authority of the government; but, as we can no longer perceive the least probability of the great belligerent nations swerving from the political stand they have taken, and as the U. States without commerce must infallibly become a crippled and finally a bankrupt people, we deem it absolutely essential to our political existence, to declare a continuance of the embargo law ruinous and impolitic. We evidently discover (tested as our ideas are by experience) that unless the avenues of commerce are again opened, and the commercial people of America suffered to hazard themselves upon the ocean, in the pursuit of their lawful gain, free and unopposed by any domestic shackles, we are seriously apprehensive that there will soon pervade one general sentiment completely directive of longer acquiescence to the will of congress, unpleasant as this declaration is, echoed and sent forth by the populous and patriotic county of Augusta, we consider it nevertheless as a truth that can no longer be disguised; and when we declare to you that we have long since considered our government partial and timorous in its operations towards one of the great belligerent powers of Europe, and unnecessarily clamorous towards another—you will do us the justice to believe, that we are neither actuated ourselves by a hatred towards the one, or a love towards the other country, but that we measure our public sentiments by that political rule which is the unerring concomitant of wisdom and justice, viz. we consider it as honorable to deal unto all nations that equal share of national dignity & interchange that neither espouses ingloriously the actions of the one to the annihilation of the other; and, we deem it as the most unpardonable circumstance, that the delegates of a free people should ever have
formed themselves into a combination to subvert the true interest of their government, by shrouding themselves under executive recommendation to legislate for one foreign government at the expence of another; and we can no longer possibly forbear to say, that the continual series of secret deliberations in the two last sessions of congress, afford no omen to us of national integrity: within the secret hall we believe the most dishonorable transactions have arisen, and that the people have been absolutely prevented from seeing those circumstances most intimately connected with their political safety and preservation; for, although we do not deny the propriety of the circumstance of government being sometimes disposed of with secrecy, yet we cannot possibly contemplate that there ever has been or ever will be cause for the councils of a free people to be so entirely enveloped in mystery, as the affairs of America have been.—It was not a principle of the Washington administration to encircle us in such darkness as this; for, upon one occasion only, can we remember that the doors of congress were ever shut more than for one hour or two—we well recollect that even that circumstance was deemed unwholesome to the liberties of the people. Under these impressions, actuated as we most solemnly declare ourselves to be, by no consideration of party measures, and personal dislike to you, but governed as we are by that zeal for the prosperity of our country, so incumbent upon its guardians to maintain and preserve, we are emboldened to expect from you, Sir, as the Supreme Magistrate of our country, that decision in your governmental sphere that shall prompt you to retrieve to the country its wonted free and unrestrained commerce: and shall restore to us that prosperity in our agricultural operations that is so necessary to the political health of the great mass of the nation. We in fine, Sir, declare to you, that tho' we reverence the constitution of our country, and will forever maintain the dignity and support of it—we cannot consent that legislators, emanated from it, ever shall take upon themselves so entirely the majesty of the people: we view it as altogether transcending the rights they were delegated to preserve, and as we consider their guardianship no longer guided by the fostering hand that should govern their conduct we believe that the people have a right now to direct them; we therefore with the decency becoming a nation of free-men, have presumed to make known to you our grievances, hoping that at the meeting of our legislature, if it should be convoked earlier than it is already by law established, you will, in the distribution of your magisterial duty, cause to be laid upon the table of Congress the following resolutions.
Resolved , That we consider the people of the United States paramount to all authority delegated to their representatives, and that they have a right in their individual capacity, peaceably to assemble and express their approbation or disapprobation of the measures emanating from their constituted authorities.
Resolved , That we view the whole passage of the Embargo law impolitic, and its operation partial, ruinous and entirely fatal to the peace and welfare of the country.
Resolved , That we consider the decree of France, in November 1806, as the principal cause of the countervailing orders of England in November 1807, and that therefore we deem the conduct of our government indecisive as related to the one country, tending to relinquish to her our rights, and as to the other, filled with an over measure of complaint not warranted by our previous submission.
Resolved , That we view with extreme concern, an apparent degree of foreign influence pervading our councils, unworthy of a magnanimous and independent people.
Resolved , That we view the decisions of the late majority in congress as guided too much by executive direction, and as having been (in a few instances only excepted) uniformly directed thereby.
Resolved , That we believe that the raising of an additional army establishment of only 6000 men, quite unnecessary, unless it was intended as a permanent one, inasmuch as, that we consider the necessity of an army at any time must alone be danger from without—and if there was, or is that danger, we do not consider six thousand men as forming one tenth part even of the military strength necessary for defence.
Resolved , That we view such a repetition and frequency of secret communications from the president to both houses of congress as dangerous and improper; and that such frequent deliberations of that body in secret conclave are incompatible with the spirit of our constitution and the liberties of the people; and that therefore they ought to be discouraged and never resorted to but upon the most unavoidable occasions.
Resolved , That we view with utter abhorrence the extensive and unbounded operations of France against the powers of Europe; we think our government should be scrupulously careful not to countenance directly or indirectly, any of her overwhelming measures; and we consider the conduct of the emperor towards us as insulting and oppressive.
Resolved , That we feel a lively interest in the struggles of Spain to retrieve her power and consequence as a nation; and that we consider it absolutely proper that our government should meet any propositions from her, viewing her as we do, a rebellious, but loyal people, desirous to maintain and preserve their honor and consequence among nations, and fighting for the actual liberties of their country against an usurper and foreign tyrant.
Resolved , That without an open commerce for the merchants of the United States seriously contemplate the entire downfall of the community, and that bankruptcy and civil war will arise; we view therefore it to be the bounden duty of congress to repeal the embargo act, and so to return to the accustomed channels of commercial regulations, with such of the powers of Europe as will treat with us honorably as shall insure to us that great blessing.
Resolved , That we will support the true honor and dignity of the country whenever called on.
On a motion being made to have the foregoing address and resolutions published to the information of the freeholders of Augusta county, before they should be acted upon, the question being put and carried the affirmative—
It is resolved, That the printers in the town of Staunton publish the same in their respective papers.
Resolved , That the freeholders of the said county, be notified to meet at the courthouse in Staunton on Thursday the 29th of the present month, prepared to act upon the said address and resolutions.
ROBERT PORTERFIELD, Chairman.
At the above mentioned meeting the following resolutions were also agreed to:
RESOLVED , That we consider CHARLES GOTESWORTH PINCKNEY , of South Carolina, and RUFUS KING of the state of New York, as proper men to be supported as President and Vice President of the United States—and that Robert Porterfield , William Boys , Carter Beverley , Alex. Nelson , Alex. St. Clair , and Samuel Clarke , be appointed a committee of correspondence to carry into operation this resolution.
Resolved , That the aforesaid committee be also authorised to correspond with other committees of the several counties composing this congressional district for the purpose of supporting a suitable candidate to congress at the next election.
The committee of correspondence for the county of Augusta, seeing the necessity of the greatest diligence being made by the Federal Republicans throughout the state of Virginia to restore the policy that guided the councils of Washington—and to give the object of this meeting as extensive and immediate circulation as possible, request that such Federal editors as feel a disposition to co-operate with them, will give these resolutions, with the note attached to them, an insertion in their respective papers; at the same time enjoining upon their federal friends in every county, the necessity of calling a meeting immediately to adopt similar resolutions expressive of their approbation of these measures, and to report to them a proper character for an elector in their respective districts to form the federal ticket.
The committee view with abhorrence the law establishing the mode of election by general ticket, and are sensible of the great change that must, and that they hope will be effected to ensure success; if however the object should fail in this state, they will insure the pleasing reflection of having made an honest effort.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
SALEM, Sept. 20.
DISTRICT COURT.—At length a most serious and solemn question has arisen under the embargo laws, and it is brought into discussion before a Judicature competent to pronounce a decision—a question, whether the Congress and President have a right by THE CONSTITUTION FOREVER to prohibit commerce to the people of the U. States: in other words, whether the late Embargo Acts, as they are strangely called, are constitutional. In the case of the U. States versus the brig William, now trying before the District Court in this town, the counsel for the claimant have made the UNCONSTITUTIONALITY of these acts one of the points in their cause: The argument on this point was begun yesterday by Mr. Prescott, in an able speech, and will be closed, as we understand, by Mr. Dexter, on the same side, this day. We hope to be enabled to lay a report of the argument before our readers.
NEW-YORK, September 2.
From New-Orleans.—By the arrival of the brig Hoikar, we have been favored with a file of New Orleans papers to a late date. They afford a few articles, not before published, which we have copied into the Commercial Advertiser of this evening. And among others is the proclamation of governor Folch, declaring in favor of Ferdinand, the rightful sovereign of Spain. In making his communication to the inhabitants of West Florida, he lays before them, and intreats them to read again and again, the manly and energetic proclamation of the governor of Cuba, which has been some time in the possession of our readers. He then concludes in the following terms:—
“A monstrous horrid act of perfidy, has forcibly deprived us of our legitimate sovereign: but there still remains to us a well organized and magnanimous government: We have still left the worship of our holy religion; we still have the benefit of our wise laws; good order reigns, and will forever reign among us; we are possessed of our native courage and our constancy is inflamed—Spaniards! possessed of these blessings, we ought to believe ourselves capable of destroying him, who by perfidious viles, was able to raise himself to be Napoleon the First.”
PHILADELPHIA, September 26.
Yesterday arrived ship Ceres, capt. Smith, from Liverpool, 56 days, but brings no papers later than previously received. By him we learn that the Lewis, Lawrence, from Smyrna, arrived at Liverpool the 21st of July and the brig Albion. A. Barman, from Gallipoli on the 23d. He also informs that the ship Concord, Captain Smith, for this port was ready for sea and would sail on the 1st of August; that the brig Minerva, would sail on the 3d, and the ship American Eagle, Watt, about the 5th of Aug. both for New York.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28.
¶ We recommend to our readers, a perusal of the proceedings of the people of Augusta county in Virginia, published in this days paper—we sincerely hope their example will be followed in the different counties as recommended—it is all important, the sentiments of the people of this state should be known at the present interesting crisis of our public affairs. The federalists of Virginia, have hitherto shown an apathy inconsistent with their character of friends to the country—’tis time they should arouse, and at no time since the establishment of our government have they been more imperiously called on to shew to their opponents that federalism was not dead but only slept.
HENRY ADDISON CALLIS, Esq. is a candidate for Congress, in Prince Georges and Ann Arundel counties, in opposition to A. Vanhorne.
VERMONT ELECTION.
By letters received yesterday, from Windsor, Vt. we learn, that returns of votes for governor, have been obtained from 181 towns. For TICHENOR, the federal candidate, 13,115 For SMITH, 12,054 Majority for Tichenor, 1061 There are very few scattering votes. Gen. Chamberlain, (the late federal representative in congress from the north western district) is undoubtedly elected lieutenant governor; and the federal ticket of counselors has prevailed. In corroboration of this account, we subjoin an extract from the “Weekly Wanderer,” a democratic paper, published at Randolph, in which the votes of 203 towns are published:
“State of the Election.” “O Vermont, how is thy glory fallen! From the foregoing returns of representatives and votes for gov. we hesitate not to declare our decided opinion, that should the scattering votes not exceed one thousand, Mr. Tichenor is elected governor. The election of Mr. Chamberlain, as lieutenant governor, is beyond dispute; and if the republicans have been half as remiss, as usual in voting for counsellors, the federalists has obtained the election.
The same paper states, that the election of representatives in the house is doubtful—but that from present information, the democrats have two the majority. This is contradicted by our letters from Windsor, in which it appears, that there will be 204 members, 104 of whom are federalists; but admitting the democratic account to be correct, in joint committee of the house and council, when the electors will probably be chosen, there must be a majority of federalists. It is also probable that one only out of the four districts, have elected a democrat to represent them to congress. (Boston Gazette.)
We learn by a gentleman who arrived here in the ship Dispatch from La Vera Cruz, that the Corporation of Mexico has offered FOURTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS as a present to the Patriots of Spain, to enable them the more effectually to carry on the war against France. (N. Y. Gaz.)

By advices received by the supreme junta of government, from the head-quarters at Andujar, we are informed, that in pursuance of the capitulation of the army of Dupont, and divisions of Bedell and Dufur, on that morning they had put in force the treaty, which was before made, putting our army under arms in two files, and marching that of Dupont through the middle with the honors of war, and two cannons, and that they delivered up, at the distance of 4000 yards from our army, their arms, artillery and baggage, delivering themselves up as prisoners of war; and that the divisions of Bedell and Dufur, which are not comprised in the capitulation, laid down their arms in the camp, and marched immediately to their destined ports, which are, Malaga, Rota and Santa Maria, to be transported in Spanish carts, delivering their arms on board; also, informing the junta of other particulars of capitulation, which will be given to the public as soon as they can be officially communicated, and by the same opportunity they are informed, that a letter has been intercepted from Murat to general Dupont, which ordered him immediately to withdraw all his forces to Madrid, in order to strengthen the army there, and to enable them to oppose the army of Galicia, which approached the capital by forced marches; but our army with their usual good fortune, have by their unparalleled bravery, captured this numerous army of Dupont, Bedell and Dufur, which were hastening to succor the enemy; lastly, the supreme junta have been informed, that the said general Francis Dufur died of his wounds received in the late action between Baylen and Andujar, which they now make known to the public. MARIDUS BARROSO, Sec’y. Cordova, July 23.
Translated from the Havanna Gazette. HAVANNA, August 31. We have been favored with the following copy of a letter of the 9th inst., from an honorable personage in Campeachy, to a person of quality in this city: “Last evening entered here, three of our vessels from Vera Cruz, in 7 days. It is certain that our king, Ferdinand, was proclaimed and sworn in Vera Cruz, and the supreme junta at Seville acknowledged with universal joy & acclamation. The same has taken place in the city of Mexico. When this intelligence shall arrive in Spain, it will greatly re-animate the spirit and hopes of our friends there; added to the immense treasures which they expect from America. In fact, it is surprising, the money which is every day deposited in the royal chests, to be sent to Spain. To his lordship, Napoleon, this will not afford much gratification when he comes to hear it.”
From the Baltimore Federal Republican. THE TEST OF REPUBLICANISM. A truly eminent philosopher has observed, that there is a loveliness in virtue which elicits applause even from the vicious and corrupt. With equal truth we may say, that
civil liberty has a charm which attracts the heart of man, and to whose influence none but the most base and worthless are insensible. Liberty rightly understood, is the source of civilization and the germ of every improvement which ameliorates the condition of man. Like every other benefit, it has been abused and converted to the advancement of evil purposes. The understanding has been perplexed with various and confused definitions, and it has even been made to justify a total disregard of the laws, and a conduct which tended to anarchy. But whatever enquiries may result from so great an extension of our ideas upon individual liberty, certain it is that all civilized people are interested in the preservation of every nation's independence, or political freedom, secure from the control of every foreign power. A band of patriots struggling to oppose a tyrant who seeks their subjugation, present a picture which the moral eye must contemplate with pleasure. The heart of benevolence will throb with indignation against their oppressor, and the orizons of piety will ascend in their behalf.
Let us suppose, that the scenes which are passing in review before us, were of older date; that instead of having our transitory passions engaged to blind or mislead our understandings, we could contemplate in the historian's page as events which had passed away, and had ceased to influence the moral and political relations of our own time. Upon such a review of the history of the present period, what would be our reflections? Let us open the page of history and read.—A ferocious and sanguinary despot has subjected the fairest portion of the world beneath his iron sceptre. The liberties of all nations are menaced by his power, while their weak rulers are awed at the aspect of his force, and tremble at the thought of his vengeance. In such a state, one people have the courage and virtue to resist; they resolve not to be slaves, and by their spirit and union have a reasonable prospect of preserving their own independence and checking the alarming and rapid progress of their enemy. While all brave and loyal men of every country are animated with enthusiasm by their gallant exertions, and warmed with gratitude for their efforts to serve the common cause of liberty, humanity and free governments, the Chief Magistrate of a Republic, and infant people characterized by their devotion to freedom, is called on to express his sentiments upon their situation and conduct. In the most cold and indifferent manner he notices their glorious revolution, merely styling it ‘a contest for the government,’ without expressing a sentiment in their favor, or exhibiting a symptom of that generous indignation, which perfidy, cruelty and injustice never fail to raise in a virtuous breast.
The characters here referred to will with ease be recognized. The feature in Mr. Jefferson's answer to the Boston petition, to which we here allude, has not escaped observation. Justly has it been considered an evidence of the manner in which he views the glorious revolution in Spain, and of his fixed and unalterable inclination to further the progress of French principles and French power. It is not in this way that an attachment to the cause of real liberty can be displayed. It is not in this manner that the feelings of brave and independent Americans should be represented.—Whatever may be the sentiments and inclinations of our unfeeling and servile administration, we have not lost the feelings of men. We love liberty and revere its defenders. We hail the people of Spain as a band of patriots, who have determined not to endure oppression, and we heartily wish them success, both for the sake of humanity and for the regard we feel for our own independence and safety, menaced by the same tyrant with whom they now contend. Such are the feelings of genuine Americans, uncorrupted by French influence, and whose devotion to a political idol does not obscure the light of reason, and render their hearts impervious to the influence of truth and virtue.
