PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at the county court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shown to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

Left my service on Thursday last, NEGRO LEWIS, about 18 years old, not very black, supposed to be between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 8 inches high, straight and rather slender made, two of his upper front teeth gone, which leaves a considerable gap, his dress not recollected, except when he went off he had on a blue and blue mixed kersey roundabout jacket and blue mixed kersey pantalettes much worn & had been patched with striped home-made cloth—he may change his cloaths, as his acquaintance in the county and Alexandria and neighborhood is extensive—he is slovenly in his apparel, pert, talkative and assuming among his equals.
ALSO, ON NEXT MORNING,
NEGRO EMANUEL, 30 years of age, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, stout made across the shoulders, large feet, very much knock-kneed, which occasions an appearance of a rocking motion in walking, of a lighter shade than Lewis; his cloaths not known, as he has sundry and frequently changes them; he is a good sawyer and waggoner, and at any work of a farm none superior. I did suppose Lewis only absconded for fear of correction, he having been very impertinent to his overseer; but Emanuel, who has a wife in the neighborhood from whom he has removed his cloaths, having also absconded, I suppose it is intended by them to endeavor to get entirely off. If taken in the counties of Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, or Alexandria. I will give 20 dollars for both, or 10 dollars for either, and if out of those counties or the state the above reward for both or one half for either, if brought home or so secured that I get them, and all reasonable charges for one or both.

DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for approving the late conduct of the president of the U. States.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Gardenier's Speech continued.]
This was the answer given, to this amount: "Your solicitude about the operation of the decree is extremely idle, because we are perfectly satisfied, and you should be too, that the principle on which it goes will never be carried into execution." It is easy to conceive, sir, how very far such a declaration fell short of what was requested in the note of lords Auckland and Holland. It came to this point: either that the British government was to be satisfied, or to go on to the alternative which was threatened. It did go on to it. The British government did not trust to these favorable appearances which it suited France to hold out. Who then was wrong, we or they ? Did France act upon that decree, or did she not? For the whole point of this miserably conducted argument turned upon this at last: that if there was sufficient ground to calculate that the French government would not execute its decree, then the British government ought to be silent; but if she did execute it, that the British government should take care of its own preservation. How is the fact? France did execute the decree; and from that moment there could be no doubt that resistance was justifiable. But it appears that Great Britain did not know it was carried into execution before she issued her orders in council. If so Great Britain displayed more knowledge of the character of nations than falls to our share. I have read in a speech made in the other house, as to the embargo, that, if the orders in council were not known, yet the embargo was a lucky hit. Then, sir, if G. Britain did not know that the British government executed the orders in council were a lucky hit: And, sir, as to the question whether the orders in council were known here when the embargo was laid, I will just step aside to notice it. In a letter dated February 19, 1808, to our minister at London, we find this passage: "My last, which was committed to the British packet, enclosed a copy of the act of embargo, and explained the policy of the measure. Among the considerations which enforced it was" — what? The knowledge of the orders in council? No, sir — "the probability of such decrees as were issued by the British government on the 11th Nov. &c." Now, I do hope that we shall not have any more sophistical wire-drawn reasoning to shew how they might have been known, when Mr. Madison himself has told our minister at London that the orders in council were supposed to be meditated, and that their appearance afterwards justified the embargo. But I think that gentlemen are carrying this point too far. Let them not go the whole length of saying that the orders in council were known before the embargo. It is giving the lie to Mr. Madison most indecently; and as to this way of complimenting him, though I have very little to expect from him, I cannot concur in it. Not only, sir, am I willing to allow in the language of this letter that there was a probability of the issuing the orders in council, not only that the language of the British gazettes left little doubt of it; but I feel justified in going a great deal farther and say, that the celebrated note rendered it improbable to suppose that any thing else could have happened. The British government said, "we desire that France should abandon her system, or, if not, that you will take some measure that will defend us." — If we expected that the British ministers would keep their word, we might safely swear that the orders in council would issue. It is not necessary to the purpose of my argument at this time to say that Great Britain did right in issuing these orders in council, though I am free to acknowledge that, for the promotion of her own interest, it was right; but it is my purpose to shew that the ground has been yielded, and that
it has, is one of the reasons why we find ourselves in a situation so comparatively happy.
Permit me to go to the proof of this to state, as my conception, that there were three things which prevented that accommodation between the two countries, which was so essential to the prosperity of both. — They were these: the proclamation, the refusal to coalesce with Great Britain in resistance to the Berlin decree; and lastly, the refusal to repeal the embargo. These are the three reasons which prevented the accomplishment of that good of which the President has put us in possession. Great Britain demanded that we should intimate by our conduct or assurances that we would not submit to the innovations on maritime law attempted by the Berlin decree, and throughout the whole of this correspondence made it a point that she would never give up her orders in council till she had some proof to that effect from us. She now has that pledge, and it is a great misfortune that it was not given before. Yes, sir, the first resolution reported by the committee of foreign relations last winter, adopting the language of Lords Holland and Auckland, declares that the United States cannot submit to the French decrees. I am disposed, on this part of the subject to give the present President credit for his adroitness. I should not be surprised, sir, were the secret history of the cabinet ever to be written, if it should turn out that, without the knowledge of the then President of the United States, the present President had, by making a very surly face at Great Britain, caused a demand to be made of France that she should revoke her decree, and given that very pledge which Great Britain demanded of us. Great Britain issued her orders in council to keep us from France. It was said that we could not go with any safety on the ocean between the French decrees and British orders. Now was supposed to be the happy time when the planets were auspicious for involving us in a British war: but it did so happen that, in the nature of things, we could not declare the British orders to be unlawful without declaring the French decrees to be unlawful also. We could not oppose one without also opposing the other. The very moment that we fought both Great Britain and France, Great Britain did not want any quarrel with us. If we had put ourselves in opposition to France when the question was raised in the note attached to the treaty, we should never have had the orders in council. But we had them. We did declare, after we had them, that we would give the pledge. It was rendered indispensably necessary by our refusing to give a pledge of resistance to the Berlin decree, that the orders in council should be issued. That pledge now having been given, it became as necessary that the orders should be withdrawn. It was folly for Great Britain to have continued them. We were fighting Great Britain (on paper) — for what? Because she joined us in the maintenance of our neutral rights. We acknowledged that, as soon as the Berlin decree was acted on, it was cause of war; but felt too proud to vindicate ourselves from the imputation of submitting to it, because Great Britain had asked it of us. When we had passed the non-intercourse law as to France, and excluded French ships from our harbors, we were placed in a situation which disabled us from submitting to the Berlin decree, and are now in that situation. I would observe, that, at the time these measures were agitated, we had all a little sand in our eyes; we did not understand the subject so completely at that time as we do now; and I am pretty well satisfied, that when the secret history of the two last years is divulged, it will be found that while the former president was endeavoring to fan the flames of war, the secretary of state, by originating these resolutions, &c. was smoothing the way for the happy discharge of his presidential duties when he should come to the chair. I think it did him honor. The ground then having been taken, we, standing pledged in the face of the world to resist French injustice, have done what we were required to give a pledge to do. There is therefore no further difficulty on the part of Great Britain in relation to us. She withdraws her orders in council and leaves us precisely in the situation in which she first asked of us to place ourselves. All the difference is that the orders in council are enforced now by us instead of herself. In bringing about this state of things I yield my hearty approbation to the president of the U. S.; and I believe that, when I could not see the end of our troubles, the president was secretly conducting us to the late happy result.
But, says one gentleman the embargo has so humbled the British nation, and the terrors of the non-intercourse law have performed such miracles that she is willing to
fall at our feet, and the equal footing on which the two countries was placed was pretence, and nothing more, for their change of position. Now let us examine it; for I do consider it extremely important that the fact should be ascertained and established whether the embargo was such a machine as to produce all those consequences: for, if it was let us never forget that we had it, and have recourse to it on every future occasion. If it was, sir, let us inscribe in golden characters over your head that it may stare us in the face whenever we rise to address you. But if the late change be not ascribable to that, but to the abandonment of that pernicious system of which the embargo formed a principal feature; if it be ascribable to the frankness and promptitude with which the President met the late overtures, let us say so. The medicine has operated, and it is correct that we should ascertain by what physician the cure was performed. That medicine which had like to have killed us will never be resorted to again.
The proclamation was another stumbling block; in the consideration of which I must again have recourse to the volume of truth. It will be recollected, sir, that when the affair of the Chesapeake first became public at London, it was known to the British minister before it was known to our ministers. Whilst things were going on very smoothly in relation to that matter, information was received that the President of the U. States had issued a proclamation interdicting the entrance of our waters to British vessels, and objection was made to it — on what ground? That the U. States had no right by the laws of nations to exclude armed vessels from their waters? No, sir, that was a ground which was never contested. For, in point of right, foreign armed vessels can no more claim permission to come within our waters than their armies can claim a right to encamp on the terra firma of our country. The right is enjoyed but by indulgence. But, if the armies of France and England were engaged upon our frontiers, and we should permit the army of one to receive accommodation and comfort within our territorial limits, and were to exclude the other, we should violate the neutral character by aiding one to the depression of the other, taking so far as this partiality extended, a part in the war, we should in fact be doing a hostile act. On the other hand, if we permitted both to come into our territories and fight it out, we still keep our neutral character, impartiality being the essence of neutrality. When therefore the proclamation interdicting British vessels was issued, it was explained only on this ground: "The total exclusion of all ships of war belonging to one of two belligerent parties, while the ships of war of the other power were protected by the harbors of the neutral power, would furnish no light ground of complaint against that neutral, if considered in any other point of view than as a measure of retaliation for previous injury: and so considered, it cannot but be necessary to take into account in the adjustment of the original dispute."
If the house will give me a little attention, they will see that the objection to the proclamation did not go on the ground simply that British vessels were prohibited from entering, but that whilst British vessels were prohibited French were admitted. It was admitting the army of one belligerent to occupy your territory, whilst that of the other was prevented. Therefore the giving the use of our waters to one belligerent and refusing it to the other was a fair and just cause of complaint; and till both were admitted or both excluded, Great Britain refused to treat or make reparation for the attack on the Chesapeake. Mr. Rose came forward afterwards with a long letter on the same subject, and we find that he comes to the same conclusion. This point, wherever the subject is treated, is not lost sight of. You find it afterwards in the reply which was given by Mr. Canning to Mr. Pinkney, when Mr. Pinkney made the famous proposal to the British government, that if they would withdraw the orders in council, the embargo should be suspended as regarded them; one reason of refusal was, that British vessels were interdicted whilst French were admitted. She wished that both should be admitted or both excluded. She never would enter into any negotiation till that equality was produced. She has not talked as much as we have, to be sure, but she has acted more. Now, sir, by the non-intercourse act, this demand of placing both nations on an equality is complied with, and she offers that reparation which she had hitherto refused.

GENERAL ORDER OF THE ARMY.
Thursday, 18th May, 1809, year 6th. (There has been no General Order of the army since the 4th April.)
The fort of the rebel, John Dugotier, and the four camps which surrounded it, and which were situated on the plantation Sabourin au Boucassin, have just been carried by a coup-de-main, by major general Peter Toussaint. The rebels have been routed, and owed their escape only to the quickness of flight over the precipices, abandoning their arms, artillery, ammunition, effects, &c. The papers containing the correspondence of John Dugotier, with the chiefs of the rebels, and his register book of letters, have been taken.
Two pieces of iron cannon, one a twelve pounder, the other a four, a large quantity of ammunition, cartridges, and implements of artillery, together with a number of prisoners, both men and women, are the fruits of this brilliant expedition.
The troops employed did not all participate in the action; the 3d regiment only was engaged.
These happy effects are due to the wise dispositions of gen. Peter Toussaint, who praises very much the intrepidity of the commander Francisco Victor, and the 3d regiment, who so well seconded him.
This expedition being so well terminated the troops have returned to their respective cantonments.
Done at head quarters, at the Cape, the 18th May, 1809, sixth year of the independence.

By the schooner Messenger, we have received Havanna papers from our correspondents including the 16th instant. A supplement to the Havanna Messenger of the last date contains an extract from a Kingston (J.) paper of the 4th instant, which details the assassination of Donaparte at Strasburg on the 3d April — that Talleyrand was placed at the head of affairs at Paris on the nineteenth of the same month; that Louis the eighteenth was called for; and that Ferdinand the king of Spain was sent for to Paris. The account of these incidents, to which we do not yield a moment's credit, are said to have been brought to Port Royal (J.) by the cutter Hope; which sailed from Portsmouth on the 28th April, several days later than which is the news brought by the Pacific.

Extract from the log book of the brig Joshua Potts, of Wilmington, (N. C.) arrived at Trinidad.
"The brig Joshua Potts, John Austin, fell in with a small privateer schooner under Spanish colors, who robbed her of all her provisions and part of her cargo, stripped the brig of a number of her rigging, yawl, compass and a number of other articles. This happened on the 17th April, 15 miles to the windward of the port of St. Jago, where the brig was bound; and after detaining her from 5 o'clock till 8, ordered her to Jamaica, and threatened to burn the brig, unless she went where they ordered her to go, and watched her till day, when we were to leeward of St. Jago, and could not get back. On the following Sunday, fell in with the brig Success, of Salem, John Phippen, who was good enough to furnish the brig with one barrel of bread, and we got into Trinidad on the 16th.
NEW ORLEANS, May 24.
Another duel was fought yesterday morning, by Lieut. Chruise, late of the marine corps, and Dr. Heap, surgeon in the navy—distance five yards. Each of them received a wound in the right thigh; but neither are supposed to be dangerous.
LETTER
From a person of note in Spain, to his friend in the Havanna.
"The battle of Medellin has been the most bloody one fought this war—the enemy had 24 cannons, we 10; theirs very badly served ours discharged for the space of two hours and an half, a continual shower of grape.—Our infantry charged with bayonet up to the very walls of the houses of the village in pursuit of the enemy. The imperial guards fled, as well as general Victor at the head of his staff. The marine battalions and the Spanish guards, have covered themselves with glory—they threw away their muskets, and seizing hold of their bayonets by the handle, they fell upon, stabbed, overthrew and pent up, the invincibles. If our cavalry had not fallen back, it would have been the most memorable battle of the campaign. Nevertheless, the enemy has now seen to his sorrow, what we are. Much blood has been spilt: eleven thousand dead on both sides, covered the banks of the Guadiana: they have lost upwards of seven thousand, and we nearly four thousand men.
"As the right wing was abandoned by the cavalry, all the centre, composed of the infantry, had considerably the advantage, and was advancing in pursuit of the enemy, it was necessary to retreat, to avoid the enemy from outflanking the army. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday, the 29th of March (the day of the battle) the enemy's cannonading ceased, and both armies have retired to their respective positions, leaving the field of battle in the middle, neither of the armies remained masters of it.
"Although we have not gained much yet we have lost nothing by it: on the contrary, we have obtained some advantage, namely, that of making head against the enemy, and causing them to fly. The retreat of the cavalry it appears, was owing to a mistake, at least with respect to those regiments who followed that of Maria Louisa, whom they understood had received orders to retreat. Gen. Cuesta retreated with his army to Villanueva to rest his troops; he afterwards proceeded with his staff to Campillo, to re-unite his cavalry, partially dispersed, and he informs having already accomplished this.
"The enemy do not stir, and general Cuesta adds, that he does not consider
them in a situation to make a fresh attack; nevertheless he is upon the watch, and has taken every measure to avoid any surprise. Meanwhile he is strengthening himself, and combining his measures for new operations against the enemy; they certainly have been terrified. Gen. Cuesta continues ill from a fall, and gen. Eguia commands the army, ad interim.
"The rafts and pontoons on which Victor had passed the Tagus have been broken and carried away by the current of the river.—General Cartaojal has been surprised by 12,000 of the enemy on his march to Toledo. It was not believed they had such considerable force in that quarter. The cavalry was separated from the infantry by the interposition of the above mentioned body of the enemy. They however have extricated themselves without loss, and our army is complete. The whole of our force in La Mancha is composed of 32,000 men. Chaves has been conquered by the Portuguese—they put the whole French garrison, composed of 1500 men, to the sword. The remaining French force which entered Portugal amounting to 14,000, marched towards Braga, from whence they have been repulsed.
"Some English have arrived, and disembarked at Oporto. Last night two deputies were sent from the supreme junta to compliment general Cuesta."
From the Philadelphia Register.
LOSS OF THE FRENCH IN SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.
This statement of the loss sustained by the French in Spain and Portugal is founded on very correct information; indeed it will be seen upon particular examination, that the number, far from being exaggerated, is probably diminished.
FIRST CAMPAIGN.
  Deaths by sickness and the sword in Madrid, Burgos, Biscay, Navarre, &c. 11,000   Ditto in Catalonia 8,000   Killed in the first siege of Saragossa, and in various actions in its neighborhood 10,000   Killed in Valencia and La Mancha 8,000   Killed and taken prisoners in Andalusia, including those of the French squadron in Cadiz 30,000   Missing, deserted, and killed by the fury of the inhabitants of various places and by individuals 4,000   Killed in Portugal, by the English, deaths by sickness, and stabbed, 8,000   Killed in several battles and skirmishes, in Old Castile, 6,000 
SECOND CAMPAIGN.
  In several actions with the army of the centre, including that of Lerin, 3,000   Battle of Tudela, on the 23d of November, 1808, 6,000   During the long siege of Saragossa, and actions in Arragon besides the missing (the greatest part of the latter killed by the dagger) 17,000   Several actions in Catalonia 10,000   Killed and wounded in Biscay and Mountains of St. Ander, by the army of Blake, 10,000   In Burgos, by the army of Estramadura, 1,000   At Sepulveda, Somosierra, and Madrid, 7,000   Killed in Estramadura, action of Velez, and other villages in La Mancha, 4,000   Loss from Madrid to Corunna, including the battles fought by the English in Castile and Galicia, 10,000   Deaths in the several armies (and by the dagger) in various parts of Spain, 10,000 
163,000
The total loss of French in Spain and Portugal, to the end of March, amounts to 163,000 men. The calculation of the deaths by sickness is certainly short, from the accounts we have of the number of hospitals they have established: in Madrid, alone, they have seven, containing upwards of 5,000 sick.
TRANSLATED FOR THE PHILADELPHIA REGISTER.
Extract of a letter from the Havanna, dated 5th of June, 1809:—
"The news from Spain by a king's packet brig just arrived, are very favorable. La Romana has taken Tuy in Galicia, and besides the killed & wounded of the enemy, he has made 2,500 prisoners: we have great
hopes of the ultimate success of the patriotic cause in Spain.
"Yesterday was his Britannic majesty's birth day, and the captain general dined on board of a British frigate commanded by ad. Rodney, son of the celebrated admiral of that name. The day was ushered in by the repeated salutes from the fortifications and vessels of war. It was truly a day of rejoicing; the fete concluded by the representation of a Comedy, called, The Defence of Saragossa . Senora Rodriguez, sung the Patriotic National March, with words analogous to the day, which occasioned much applause.
"The chorus was repeated by the whole house—the English captain and officers took off their hats and gave three cheers, and a shower of gold fell on the stage at the feet of Senora Rodriguez, who must have made by it upwards of 2,000 dollars."

RECOMMENDATION.
THE Superintendent of Police recommends to the citizens of Alexandria, during the warm season, a frequent use of LIME in their Privies and other parts of their premises where filth accumulates—and the greatest attention is required to the keeping clean and dry their cellars, so that no stagnant water be left in them.
He particularly requests the proprietors of unoccupied houses and cellars to cause them frequently to be opened and aired—housekeepers are required to cause all the rubbish accumulated in their back yards to be thrown into the streets that the scavengers carts may take it away.
John Longden, Superintendent of Police.

ROBERT GRAY. June 20. Just Published, FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil— Avant, thou dreadful Minister of Hell. RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlop; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
Note. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, by Lewis. June 7—21

Pursuant to a deed of trust made by ELISHA JANNEY to the subscriber for the benefit of his creditors, will be exposed to public sale, before the tavern door of Zachariah Ward, in the town of Occoquan, at twelve o'clock, on FRIDAY, the twenty-first of next month—
That valuable MILL-SEAT, the property of the said Janney, situate in the said town of Occoquan. On this site was erected, about ten years ago, a spacious three story brick mill house, which ever since has been occupied as a manufacturing mill until about five weeks ago it was destroyed by fire: the stone work of the mill and a considerable part of the brick work still stands and would be found sufficiently substantial to erect new work upon it—considerable part of the iron work would also answer for a new mill, which might with these aids be erected in time to grind the growing crop of wheat. The advantages appertaining to this valuable property which in the driest season never wants water, are so generally known as hardly to need a particular enumeration. Suffice it to state, that it is situated in a healthy and flourishing little town at the falls of Occoquan river, about 16 miles south of Alexandria, on the great stage road leading from north to south, in the heart of a fine wheat country, and has navigable tide water to the mill door where vessels may come of sufficient burthen to carry 400 to 500 barrels of flour.

Terms of sale for the real property will be—Ten per cent. on the purchase money payable within 60 days by negotiable notes well endorsed—for the residue a credit will be given of one, two and three years on equal payments with interest from the date, and a deed of trust upon the property to secure the payments will be required. For further particulars, those who may desire to purchase will be pleased to apply to Mr. Nathaniel Elliott, at Occoquan, or to the subscriber at Bush-Hill, near Alexandria. Richard M.
