The Stages South of Alexandria.
ON the first of October next the Mail Stage will commence running as follows between Alexandria and Petersburg in Virginia:
Will leave Alexandria every day at 6 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Dumfries by 5 in the morning—Leave Dumfries at 6 and arrive at Fredericksburg by 11 1-2 in the morning—Leave Fredericksburg at 12 (noon) and arrive at Richmond the next morning by 6—Leave Richmond at 6 1-2 and arrive at Petersburg by 11 1-2 in the morning.
Returning, will leave Petersburg every day at 12 1-2 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria in the same time. This stage will carry no more than 2 passengers on any account whatever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage can be allowed to each passenger.
An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sundays, and will travel only in the day time. On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
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.

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. October 12 d3t lawtN

THE UNION.
Our most enlightened statesmen entertain alarming apprehensions for the integrity of the union. The system of hostility to commerce which has been perseveringly pursued by the present administration has sorely afflicted the Atlantic States, and aims a deadly blow at her vital interests. There has ever been a jealousy between the northern & southern states, which, instead of studiously endeavoring to destroy, the very measures have been pursued, most calculated to encrease it. Mr. Jefferson, with all his weight of influence, can never prevail upon the Atlantic States to believe it their interest to annihilate commerce. It is by commerce alone that some of our sister states are rendered flourishing and happy, and we fear it would require a serious struggle to force their consent to its destruction. Should administration, in pursuit of a phantom, persist in obnoxious measures, it may prove fatal to our country. We may exult that the embargo has produced such distress in England as to create an insurrection which the military only could suppress; but while we rejoice at the effusion of blood in other countries, to enforce obedience to government, we should have a care that the vengeance of insulted Providence is not provoked against ourselves. Long anterior to the riot in Manchester, our government was forced to proclaim to the very powers we intended to distress, that the people of America would not submit quietly to the evils produced by the embargo. While ever our enemies were taught to believe that it was doubtful whether we most injured them or ourselves, the measure ceased to be a wise one. If it is persevered in, every friend to his country must dread the result. The whole force of the government prints are directed to keep alive the jealousy of the states. Because the good people to the northward have opened their eyes to the true interests of their country, and have abandoned a system of politics subversive of the liberties and happiness of the nation, no abuse has been sufficient to express the hatred which the creatures of Mr. Jefferson feel for them. They have been repeatedly stigmatized as the "agents of England," "the enemies of their country," as "federal Tories." Above such low and contemptible abuse, the heroes and patriots of New England feel themselves greatly elevated. Although it may justly excite their resentment, we trust that the abuse of renegades, and the machinations of fugitives from European goals, will not endanger the bond of Union to severation. It is by such wretches as Duane, Osborne, Irvine, &c. &c. to all of whom the dungeons of a prison no longer have their terror, that the tranquility and happiness of the country is destroyed. It is in times of civil strife and dissention only that they become conspicuous. When harmony prevails they are forced back into their dens of obscurity and insignificance. It is their interest to blow up a flame of discord and confusion, and while they are tolerated by the people of America they will continue to harass the country.

EFFECTS OF THE EMBARGO.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, the 28th ult. a decently clad woman came into the publication office of this paper, and handed the editor a short, but pathetic picture of domestic misery, occasioned by the detestable embargo.
Her husband is a hardy son of Neptune, as brave a tar as ever stropp'd a block, who by his honest industry supported an amiable wife and three cuerub children—the embargo blasted all his hopes, and under the shallow pretext of saving him from the fangs of the belligerents, laid him up in the dry dock of poverty. Time in his unerring course saw one piece of furniture or wearing apparel vanish after the other, without one ray of hope, of enjoying better times. At length all is gone. The husband cannot bend his independent mind to ask benefactions—to be insulted and scoffed at by the ignorant and unfeeling; the tender wife assumes the task: her piteous pleadings speak to the heart of every man whose bosom is not steeled against sensibility.
We wish Mr. Jefferson and some of his pure proud embargo champions had heard the artless tale of the poor sailor's wife—I wonder whether he would have given her one of the twenty-five thousand dollars he annually receives?

LONDON, August 17.
Murat it appears has resigned to Bonaparte the Grand Duchy of Berg. This resignation was probably made as a preparatory step to his being made King of Naples. We should think however, that the recent occurrences in Spain would rather tend to embarrass this arrangement.
The captain of an American vessel which arrived at Deal yesterday from Holland, states, that the Austrian and Russian ambassadors had been recalled from the Dutch court previous to his sailing. We give this report as it reached us, without pledging ourselves for its authenticity.
August 19.
It is rumored that Russia intends making three large encampments, one on the frontiers of Hungary, one in Poland, and a third on the frontiers of Turkey, with the view of overawing Austria.
The Hope, American schooner, captain Woodward, arrived at Falmouth last Tuesday evening, from Virginia, in 23 days. An American messenger landed with dispatches for the American minister in London, and reports that the embargo still continued in the American ports. As soon as she had landed the messenger, the Hope proceeded for Havre-de-Grace without coming to an anchor.
Whether it be upon this subject that Sir James Saumarez has sent very important dispatches to his majesty's ministers, we know not; but the captain of the fleet, captain Hope, on board an extra packet at Gottenburgh on the 9th; and so anxious was he to make his voyage to England in a short time as possible, that he afterwards left the packet, and went on board a gun brig which was a faster sailer.
The Dutch papers notice the increasing number of Austrian troops in Bohemia.
Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office. The sitting commenced at half past one, and did not close until it was nearly seven o'clock.
The captain of a vessel which arrived yesterday from the Elbe, which he left on the 8th inst. states, that the whole of the French force had evacuated Berlin by the 15th ult. and had taken a direction towards Silesia.

TONNINGEN, July 13.
Yesterday his excellency the Prince of Ponte Corvo came hither, and on his arrival was saluted by the cannon on the batteries, and from the ships in our Roads. That division of the Spanish regiment of Algarva, which lies here, was marched out to receive the Prince, and these troops were reviewed by his highness. On the departure of the Prince for Husum, he was accompanied by the Spanish troops, who asked permission to leave with him a detachment of their number, as a guard. These brave troops appeared proud of the honor of accompanying the brother-in-law of their sovereign.
RANKS OF THE MAIN, July 19.
The Austrian Field Marshal Baron Van Wimpson, has passed through Augsburg, on his way to Paris. Three thousand men are daily employed in the demolition of the fortress of Brannan, and by the end of September it will be completely demolished.
ST. PETERSBURGH, July 9.
The following Ukase has appeared here: "The Imperial Chamber of Commerce hereby makes known to the merchants belonging to the ports of St. Petersburg, that no merchant ships with Russian produce, belonging to any nation whatever, shall sail from those ports of the Baltic which are blockaded by the English or Swedes, so long as the blockade continues."
COPENHAGEN, July 25.
The intelligence of a rupture between Sweden and England is now fully confirmed. The king of Sweden has set out for Finland.
A great number of transports have been seen from Skagen; they are probably the fleet which was before Gottenburgh.
Our privateers have taken an American ship near Elsinore, the greatest part of its cargo had been sold, but a considerable sum of money was found on board.
Orders have been given to raise a corps of 800 men in Zealand, who will be employed in erecting the redoubts and batteries.
According to the report of some Danes whom the English have exchanged, Lord Cathcart judging an expedition to Zealand
impracticable, on account of the great number of troops who defend the country, has dissuaded the ministry from such an attempt.
Moniteur, August 1.
PARIS, July 28.
Her majesty the Queen of Naples now in Spain, arrived at Lyons on the 20th inst. at 10 at night.
August 2.
According to the various public notices of the mayors of different towns, his majesty's arrival at Angers was fixed for the morning of the 29th ultimo, and his departure for the evening of the day following. His majesty was to arrive at Bordeaux on the 30th in the morning; about the 10th instant he is expected at Angers, and on the 11th or 12th at Tours. His excellency Cardinal Fesch has returned to this capital.
VIENNA, July 28.
It is rumored, that a courier from Trieste has brought advice, that the American ships which were lying there being disposed to set sail, a protest was taken by the parties interested against their departure, and that this proceeding occasioned some disturbances, which, however, were completely appeased by the presence of his imperial highness the archduke John. Mercantile letters from that place to the 20th instant make no mention of this affair.
The emperor has appointed his brother-in-law, the archduke Ferdinand, governor of the kingdom of Bohemia, where, according to report, the number of troops is circa 113. The same archduke is also appointed governor of Moravia and the eastern part of Silesia.
PALENCIA, July 24.
On the day of San Buenaventura we were kept in a state of constant alarm from five in the morning until about twelve at noon. During all this time nothing was to be heard but an uninterrupted cannonade in the direction of Montealegre, Palacios, and the convent of Matallana. After the battle the French, having first pillaged and destroyed the places just mentioned, entered the town of Rio Seco, where they committed the most horrid enormities, and killed an innumerable number of people. Among these were five Franciscan Friars, five Carmelites and three Dominicans. They cut off the hands of a Curate who sought to protect himself from outrage by elevating the host, robbed him of the cup, and threw away the sacred elements.
It is impossible to ascertain the number of the French killed in that battle; but it is a fact that it is difficult to pass through those places on account of the foetid smell of the dead bodies. From the 16th up to this date, 150 wagons have passed through here, filled with their wounded, exclusive of those who still remain in Rio Seco. The hospital, the infirmary, and the streets, are filled with the wounded.
Their army was one of the finest that France could produce. They were all picked men. Their loss must have been very great; for a reinforcement of 1400 men, who arrived here on the 25d, had scarcely entered the place, when they received orders to proceed on their march.
MADRID, July 23.
On the 18th of this month, at 12 o'clock, was announced, by the discharge of artillery which was not at all attended to, and by the ringing of bells, which were scarcely heard for an instant, the approach of Joseph I. King of Spain. The bell-ringers were threatened with severe chastisement; but they would not perform the duty required. During this important interval, patrols of French, attended by cannon and ammunition, paraded the streets of the city to prevent disorder, by inspiring terror.
On the 20th the new monarch made his triumphal entry, with his officers and troops; a day for us the most melancholy and distressing. Orders had been given that banners should be displayed from the windows; but this command was not merely disregarded, but all the doors, windows, and balconies were closed; no one quitted his house, except in the neighborhood of Puerto del Sol, some few, to see what was passing. At the time the king approached any street where a few people might be collected, orders were given to be uncovered, but instead of obedience, the Spaniards turned their backs and left the place. Not one native complimented the stranger with huzzas; some small number before the royal carriage, hired for the purpose from among the adherents of France, grumbled rather than applauded. Some few French courtiers followed rather to gain admittance to the sovereign than to congratulate him on his reception.
(VIA PHILADELPHIA.)
Rio Seco, July 23.
The French, driven to rage and madness by the great slaughter and discomfiture which they had sustained in the battle of the 14th, entered this place with fire and sword, putting to death every one who fell in their way in the streets, and in the houses. In one street they killed 129 individuals, and in a single ward upwards of 200. This carnage was followed by an indiscriminate pillage; which continued during the whole of the night; and whatever they could not carry off with them, they destroyed. Church vestments and utensils, plates, chalices, pyxes, the sacred hosts all carried off, or plundered—the images dashed pieces! Virgins, matrons, widows, young and old, all ***** Just God! Blessed God! Hadst thou granted permission to the infernal spirits to torment us, they could not have made greater havoc in this town. Beloved father, we confess that though they dealt with us most mercifully, our sins have deserved a still severer chastisement; but forget not, O Lord! That we have all of us a Mediator, who is God with the Father, and that at this moment Rio Seco is the most unfortunate, the most wretched habitation on the face of the earth!
Head-quarters at Manzanal, July 29.
The army of Galicia extends from this place to very near Astorga, occupying a space of more than three leagues, including the encampments in the adjoining villages.
Our general, seignor Blake, is here forming his dispositions. The post for the army is established at Menbil.
Yesterday arrived here the famous veteran battalion of Victoria, with their battle colors, bearing the inscription, "Victory or Death." With this motto and their determined spirit, it may well be supposed that they strike terror into the enemy. It is said that they neither take nor quarter. All of them seem resolute in their views.
The battalion of students remains at Villa Franca.
The following has been published—
"By order of the government."
"On the 20th instant marshal Bessieres transmitted a second letter to our general in chief, to which he requested a satisfactory answer, informing him that, with all the respect to his good opinion, it was his duty to avoid the effusion of blood, it being certain that the Bourbons, whom the General mentioned, never could reign while France and the greater part of Europe existed in their present state. He also informs the General, that he is anxious to see him, and appoints a place of interview."
"To this letter was sent the following answer:"
"July 22.—Seignor Marshal, I have, with due respect, received your excellency's letter, and have to repeat my thanks to you for having set at liberty the 4 or 500 prisoners whom you took in the battle of Rio Seco, and whom your excellency describes as peasants of Galicia. They are nevertheless regular soldiers, being recruits incorporated with the troops of the line, though they do not wear the uniform."
"In explaining this circumstance, my intention is not to release myself from acknowledging the generous conduct your excellency has manifested towards those people, but to guard against the possibility of their being upon any occasion receiving, in consequence of any misconception, a species of treatment which they do not deserve, and which, from the sentiments manifested by your excellency, could not but be painful to your own feelings. Your excellency, will always find me disposed to alleviate, as far as possible, all the horrors of war, flattering myself that in this respect I shall only imitate your conduct. But, seignor general, I am not at liberty to agree to the conference which you are pleased to propose to me, nor to enter into any discussion upon the subject which we should have to agitate on such an occasion."
"Your excellency informs me, that the Bourbon family has ceased to reign in Spain—and that, in order to replace them on the throne, it would be necessary to destroy France, and a great part of Europe. What, then, is the great crime committed by that family? Can it be the frank, faithful and intimate friendship and alliance, which have united it to France during the space of thirteen years? But in attempting to make any reflections I exceed my limits—it is my duty to confine myself to the intreaty that your excellency will abandon the project of altering the opinion which I have already so decidedly pronounced upon the subject. Your excellency would doubtless take offence, were I to propose to you a change of party, and that you would abandon the emperor whom you have sworn to support; and

most assuredly you should reflect that, upon the same principles, I ought not to listen to your excellency's proposals, nor is it fitting that your excellency should address them to a man of honor.  "Such is the esteem and admiration, Signor General, in which I hold your excellency's military talents, that I glory in having opposed to me so distinguished an antagonist; and with respect to the final issue of the present struggle, I repose myself with confidence on the Divine Providence, to whom it belongs to decide the fate of armies of nations, and who, sooner or later, will look with a favorable eye upon the most just cause, which is defended by all true Spaniards."  "I beg leave to repeat to your excellency, Signor Marshal, the assurances of my high consideration."  (Signed) JOAQUIN BLAKE. Seignor marshal Bessieres."
NASSAU, (N. P.) Aug. 24.  The sensation here occasioned by your embargo induced every planter to put a larger quantity of land in provisions; the result has been fortunate and we have no occasion for American produce, particularly as there is peace with Spain. Cuba furnishes money, cattle, &c.; Vera Cruz will furnish flour, and Campeachy rice. A ship has just arrived from Liverpool with 350 tons of flour, beef, pork, butter, soap and candles; at least three months supply of those articles."
PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) Oct. 1.  The sloop Sally captain Gonsolve, of this port in the coasting trade, sailed last week for Albany. On her way thither, being wind bound at New York, the captain reported his vessel at the custom-house. While there the collector inquired what he was going to bring from Albany, and was informed that his orders were to procure a load of corn. The collector replied that he could not take a cargo of that article, as the secretary of the treasury had given positive instructions not to permit cargoes of that kind to go eastward—and the remonstrances of captain Gonsolve, and several mercantile characters, were of no avail. Thus we find that by our embargo restrictions, that foreigners may not only be starved, but that the eastern states may be prevented from obtaining their necessary supplies, by this wonderful policy! The article of corn having some very scarce in this state, and frequent applications having been made from the country to obtain a few bushels until harvest, the embargo and its authors are becoming extremely unpopular among our farmers.

Alexandria Daily Gazette.  THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13.  By the attention of capt. Whital of the Old Line packet, we have the following account of majorities returned in Delaware State.  FOR CONGRESS    Kent—Vandyke, Fed.  430    Sussex— Do do.  662     1092    Newcastle—Haslet, Demo,  687     405    The State Legislature for Delaware is 2 to one in favor of federalism. [Phil. Paper.]
Triumph of Virtue, or DEMOCRACY DEFEATED.  The democrats are at length relieved from the agonising state of suspense. The wily artifices of these miserable jugglers have failed long enough to expose their wretchedness and corruption, have failed of their wonted efficacy. Democracy retires from the field covered with shame and disgrace. For eight years have the people of Maryland been slowly sinking under the pressure of these evils which she carries in her train: they have awaked from their delirium, and their first struggle has broken the shackles of political slavery. When we unite the happy reclamation of Maryland with the wonderful revolution of the eastward, our hearts gladden at the prospect of rooting out the French faction which has brought our liberties nearly to their grave. What a prospect is opening to every real friend of liberty and the rights of man! The disciples of Washington have not labored in vain, but have nobly purchased the salvation of their country; they have redeemed her from disgraceful democratic bondage. And shall we not rejoice that our country has been rescued from the wreck,
which treacherous pilots and not the stress of weather, have produced? Yes we will rejoice at those "glad tidings of great joy," which light up the countenance of every true friend of his country. But we will not like the phrenzied leaders of an infuriated populace, exult by a shocking mockery of that misery which our country has been plunged into. We will not, in triumph of the annihilation of commerce, draw ships upon dry land to carry through the streets the open and undisguised enemies of commerce. But we will rejoice in those strains of rapturous and enthusiastic joy which swell the proud feelings of every friend to man, when he sees a whole nation of free-men emerging from a state of vassalage and misery.  Balt. Fed. Repub.
The whole returns stands as follows:     Fed. Rep. Dem.    Dorset, 4 0  Somerset, 4 0  Worcester, 4 0  Talbot, 1 3  Caroline, 2 2  Kent, 0 4  *Cecil, 0 4  Queen-Ann's, 0 4  Harford, 0 4  Baltimore, 0 6  Anne-Arundel, 0 6  Prince George's, 4 0  Calvert, 4 0  St. Mary's, 4 0  Charles, 4 0  Montgomery, 4 0  Frederick, 4 0  Washington, 0 4  Alleghany, 4 0  43 17    * To be contested. Upwards of 100 Pennsylvanians were brought over the line to vote for the democrack ticket. [Ibid.]
Virginia Resolutions —In a late paper we published some patriotic resolutions of the Federal Republicans in Augusta County, Virginia. We are happy to see the spirit of Federalism revive in a state where it has so long seemed to be extinct. The proneness of this party to despair under defeat has, more than any extrinsic circumstances, opposed their efforts to rise. Temporising politicians are fearful to try their strength—it is their policy to withdraw from the contest, leave the field to their enemies, and trust to a division among them. Such was not gen. Hamilton's opinion. He foresaw the evil tendency of such a system, and upon all occasions recommended to federalists not to desert their principles by voting for a democrat, but to have a candidate of their own. Tho' they might not succeed, yet they would embody the party, and by perseverance would gain the victory. In this respect democrats have shown more political wisdom than federalists have done. Defeat has never disheartened them—they have persevered until their object was accomplished. Who that recollects the year 1798, when the federal administration was in the height of popularity, when addresses approving the measures of government were pouring in from all parts of the Union, when the name of democrat was odious was regarded as synonymous with French partizan, or enemy of our constitution, who that remembers this period will trust in the immutability of popular favor? Did any one, at that time, imagine that in March 1801 Mr. Jefferson would be president of the U. States? And yet his party were successful, and their success was the reward of perseverance. In 1802, the federal candidate for governor in New-Hampshire had two votes to the democrat's one—yet in 1805, the latter was elected. In Massachusetts, the democratic party, while in the minority, contended against the federalists for six years. During the three first years their number declined, in the fourth it began to rise, until after a contest of six years they succeeded. Federalists of Virginia, do not despair. It is your duty to oppose the ravages of democracy, and depend upon it, your virtuous efforts will eventually be crowned with success.  [Ibid.]
Hear Mr. Jefferson, (says the Albany Gazette) while a private citizen of Virginia on the subject of commerce and free navigation—Nothing can be more correct—nothing more pointed. He then understood the American character—He then spoke as an American citizen. Elevated to the presidency of the United States, every act of his administration has been in open hostility to his former opinions and declarations.  Extract from his notes on Virginia.  "It should be our endeavor to cultivate peace and friendship with every nation, even of that which has injured us most, when we have carried our point against her. Our
interest will be to throw open the doors of commerce. And to knock off all its shackles giving perfect freedom to all persons for the vent of whatever they shall choose to bring into our ports, and asking the same in theirs."  "The actual habits of our countrymen attach them to commerce—THEY WILL EXERCISE IT FOR THEMSELVES."  Octavo edit. p. 236.  Thus spoke Thomas Jefferson in the year 1778, yet, under his administration in 1808, our commerce is cut off and interdicted with all the world—and the cannon of our Frigate and Gun-boats, and the bayonets of 6000 soldiers (a standing army raised in time of peace!) pointed against our own citizens. Our country is blockaded by land and by water, and the U. States are literally in a state of siege!!
Extract of a letter from Havanna, dated September 18.  "A considerable fracas took place yesterday at the public quay, owing to an officer from a British frigate lying there, going on shore, by permission from the government, to search for some of their people who had jumped overboard, and deserted during a gale of wind and storm we had the other night. He was much insulted in the streets on his return and at the quay irritated at the treatment and otherwise inconsiderate, he thought proper to take some revenge by seizing hold of several American seamen. A few were taken off, and others rescued at the quay, after a good deal of disturbance. Several vessels were also boarded by the same officer, who behaved throughout very disorderly. The men taken have this day been released, and an apology made from the commander, who has ordered said officer under arrest for having exceeded his orders, and for the impropriety of his conduct."
