The Stages South of Alexandria.
ON the first of October next the Mail Stage will commence running as fol- lows 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 1-3 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria in the same time. This stage will carry no more than 2 passengers on any account what- ever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage can be allowed to each passenger.
An Accommodation Stage between Alex- andria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sun- days, 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 Staf- ford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericks- burg—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 morn- ing, 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 re- quest 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK.
"We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good inten- tion, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work" British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with at- tention. The present edition of this excel- lent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edi- tion of this valuable work. The improve- ments made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this ac- count of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen."
The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, espe- cially to young readers, who love entertain- ment mingled with instruction."
Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exempli- fication of more than seventy remarkable char- acters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, ma contribute to arrest the careless and wander- ing; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the high- est truths." Gentleman's Magazine, Nov. 1803.

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE, COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL. FOR THE COUNTRY.
PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY SAMUEL SNOWDEN, Royal-street, Alexandria.
Country Gazette, 5 Dollars.
FROM THE VIRGINIA GAZETTE.
TO WILSON C. NICHOLAS, ESQ. LETTER I.
SIR,
It has been usual to pass over the circular letters of legislative members to their constituents without regard as objects unworthy of it. It would however be improper to overlook your late circular, or to treat it with that contempt to which such productions are commonly entitled, because, from your talents, and the high respectability of your character, the influence of your opinions is very considerable. We know, besides, with whom you are politically connected, who gives the tone to all your political sentiments, and the high source from which you draw your political information. These considerations give to your opinions, facts, and arguments, a weight which will entitle them to examination.
Before, however, proceeding to these, let me make one remark on your poem. Tho' well written, it is so much in the demagogue, so much in the true political law style, as to excite somewhat of disgust. It is, to be sure, in the common cant of those who court popular favor, either for worthy or unworthy purposes. Is it not sad, that men of real worth will adopt such practices? That men who ought to study and maintain the dignity of man, should descend to arts of blandishment which the meanest rascals can equally practice, and often make equally availing.
But let me turn to the important parts of your letter. You say, that from 1793 to the peace of Amiens, "Great Britain inflicted every injury upon this country that could be suggested by her hatred and jealousy;" and that she did this "not to injure her enemy; but for the double purpose of enriching her own subjects and depressing us." These, sir, are heavy charges, and if proved, ought to make us hate the British name. But you have proved no part of the charge; and I suppose, indeed, that you did not think proof necessary; that such assertions were sure to gain belief from a people who for more than fifteen years, have been most industriously taught to believe, that Great Britain is not only our enemy, but the general enemy of liberty and of mankind. You acknowledge, however, that those cruel injuries inflicted on us by Great Britain ceased with the war that was terminated by the treaty of Amiens. Strange, that her hatred and jealousy of us should terminate at the very moment when she was best able to make us feel their effects; continue dormant two years, and revive again in 1802, although, as you tell us, these injurious effects were not produced by her desire of injuring her enemy; but to enrich her people and depress ours. If those injuries of which so much has been said, and so little felt, had proceeded from the causes you assign, they would hardly have ceased with the treaty of Amiens. Great Britain, oppressed with the weight of a dangerous war, can hardly be supposed mad enough to chuse the time in which she waged such a war, to give irritating proofs of her hatred and jealousy of America. Are we, however, to suppose that the treaty of Amiens extinguished, for a time, those hateful passions? Or did it deprive her of that "command of the ocean" which enabled her to perpetrate the wrongs complained of?
Your facts and arguments stand thus:—Great Britain is engaged in a dangerous war with the most powerful nation on earth. Her existence is endangered. During this war she heaps upon us continued and atrocious injuries, capable of stimulating us to the severest revenge; and these injuries she inflicts without any hope of thereby injuring her enemy. With this dangerous enemy she concludes a peace; and now though in a situation to give the rein to the hatred and jealousy she might have conceived of us: though she continues to command the ocean, and the most ample means of perpetrating her cruel injuries, behold these injuries cease altogether: Ergo , these injuries sprang altogether from her hatred and jealousy of us, and not from the hope of thereby injuring her enemy. Such, sir, seems to be your logic, and to what does it amount: not surely to a proof of your assertions; but to a moral certainty that in your assertions you erred.
If your hatred and jealousy of Great Britain do not lead your intellect captive, you must know the true reasons why some injuries were, and are done to us by Great Britain during her conflict with France.—No degree of friendship for us; no precaution that could be taken could perfectly secure us. Her ships of war occupied every sea; and in every sea found our trading vessels generally engaged in carrying the property of her enemies. This property her ships had a right to seize; and it being natural that our people should endeavor to protect it, collisions would necessarily take place, and unarmed fraud would yield to armed force. To have avoided such collisions, two concessions, both of vital importance, must have been made to us by Great Britain. She must have conceded, that our flag should protect her enemy's property from seizure, and her seamen from being obliged to perform the duties of their allegiance. If she had yielded the first, of what avail was her naval superiority? If the second, that superiority would be of short duration. Ought we to have expected such sacrifices from her? We who have shewed and still shew such particularities for France. But independently of this consideration, these were sacrifices which she could not make. She was bound by the primary impulse of nature to take care of her own preservation, and to sacrifice no right essential to that end, to the avarice, or accommodation of other nations.
Yet in the enforcement of her rights, no doubt, her officers have sometimes done wrong: but has the nation, in such cases, denied reparation? Before the orders of the 11th November, has she said that when our property was unjustly taken, it should not be restored? or that, when through mistake, our seamen were taken for her own, they should not be discharged? No, sir, the truth is, I have no doubt, that many millions worth of property seized has escaped condemnation, which truly belonged to her enemies; and many seamen have been discharged as American citizens, who in fact were British subjects. A knowledge of the various frauds practised upon her by American merchants covering foreign property; and by American officers in granting certificates of citizenship to her subjects, must naturally have excited her to greater rigor of enquiry, and consequently to the more frequent detection of fraud.
But you may ask, what say you to the order of council of the 11th Nov. I say, sir, that such as they are, they are the almost necessary offspring of the non-importation act; of the quiet submission of our government to the decrees of France; and of the hostile temper of our executive towards Great Britain, fully evinced by many of his messages to congress; by his rejection of the late treaty; and in fine, by the whole tenor of his public acts. You say, indeed, that "If the president had been desirous, as he has been falsely charged, to go to war with Great Britain, how easy, and with what little responsibility could he have plunged the nation into a war?" I do not believe, sir, that the president wished to plunge us into a war with Great Britain. I believe he knew too well what that might probably cost us and himself, rashly to undertake it. No, he did not wish for war with Great Britain; but he wished to do every thing short at war to perplex and distress her.—He wished a non-importation act: he wished to protect her deserting seamen in their desertion: he wished to exclude her ships from our ports: he wished to force her to concede what he knew, that, if conceded, would cause her destruction: he wished to starve her colonies and suspend her manufactures: and when her ruin was thus wrought, when her strength had failed; when he had cut the hair of sleeping Sampson (as he once told us Great Britain had done by the Sampson of our liberties) then, and not till then, would he have urged a war without fear; then, boldly would he set his foot on the lion's neck; and falsely have claimed the double praise of wisdom and of courage.
But Great Britain was not to be laid quite asleep. Her multiform dangers had excited vigilance. She saw at what our government aimed, and she endeavored to avert the threatening danger. Can we reasonably blame this conduct? Can we truly accuse that nation of injustice, because having discovered the pit we were digging for her, (and it was impossible that she should not discover what all the rest of the world saw) she endeavored to avoid it? No! let us, if possible, be just; let us not impute to hatred, a conduct which we must admit, was justifiable on prudential and defensive grounds; and especially so, in the awful situation in which she was placed, fighting for existence against a world in arms.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
A. B.
FROM THE VIRGINIA GAZETTE.
THE election of Electors for President and Vice-President of the U. States is near at hand—we had understood that a ticket would be formed with a view to promote the election of our friends gen. Pinckney, and the honorable Rufus King; but it now seems that we can render no service in this state by voting for such ticket. WHO THEN SHALL WE VOTE FOR? Is the question of deep concern to every one of us! Two persons in Virginia, and one in New York, are held forth as candidates—these gentlemen are, all of them, our political opponents, and yet it seems we must vote for one of them. We shall not enter into an examination of the pretensions of either of these gentlemen, in preference to others in the U. States; but of these three we most unqualifiedly have a choice. Mr. Madison was once a federalist! He has deserted the principles of WASHINGTON, and become a proselyte to democracy—nay, we consider him as having submitted, without a struggle, to the tyrant of the world!! "FRANCE WANTS MONEY, and we must give it"—for such a man we ought not to vote.
Mr. Clinton has done much for the country, and we believe him to be a very worthy man; and if he was our choice of the three, yet we could not, by ourselves, be of any service to him—this brings us to the point! We must vote for
JAS. MONROE, the choice of the three.
This gentleman is certainly deserving the gratitude of his country for the many services he has rendered it—whilst governor of this commonwealth we discovered in him every disposition to administer with justice, to treat his political opponents with equal respect, to conciliate party as much as in his power lay, and avoided making those party distinctions in appointments to office, which has marked the conduct of the executive of the U. S.
Mr. Monroe differs in political opinion from us; but he is an honest man—we have no fears of his marking out the federalists as a political sect, upon whom he will have vengeance!!! No, he is not afraid to trust an honest man, no matter what his opinions about local government may be; he will not promise us bread and give us a stone!! No, he will use every effort in his power to conciliate our affections, and by an impartial and enlightened administration of government, UNITE ALL PARTIES; he will acquire the confidence and esteem of all good men of every party.
Mr. Monroe will have it in his power to settle amicably our differences with every foreign nation, with whom we are at variance—this he will do without giving France money!! or requiring from other nations more than a fair, just and honorable retribution for past injuries, and a reasonable security for their future good conduct towards us. This he will accomplish without WAR, and without any of those evils attendant upon war, while we are at peace.
Such, federal republicans, are our expectations from the appointment of Mr. Monroe to the presidential chair—hence it is that we advise every exertion to be made in his favor on the day of election, which may be consistent, fair and honorable.
Our concurrence with the political friends of Mr. Monroe must ensure his success, provided they do not desert him in the hour of trial; we have been told that they will desert him, but we cannot believe it: if, however, they do desert him, let us do our duty.
At a meeting agreeable to notice of the federal republicans of the city of Richmond, and town of Manchester, held at the Bell Tavern, in the city of Richmond, on Monday the 17th of October, 1808, to decide upon the candidate whom they will support at the ensuing election of President of the United States.
Doctor JAMES MCCLURG, was unanimously chosen Chairman, and
Doctor JOHN ADAMS, Secretary to the meeting—
After which the following resolutions were unanimously adopted.
1. Reduced by the tyranny of the general ticket law, to the necessity of abandoning our choice, and bestowing our suffrages on one of the democratic candidates for the Presidency of the United States, and believing that of these, the election of JAMES MONROE would most essentially promote the welfare of the Union;
Resolved, That this meeting will support the said JAMES MONROE, at the ensuing election; and that the following recommendatory address to the federal republicans of Virginia, be published in Davis's Virginia Gazette, and in the other federal papers of this state.
To the Federal Republicans of Virginia.
TO those of our fellow-citizens in Virginia, who approved of our first President, the immortal WASHINGTON, and who are penetrated with respect for those observations which his political sagacity, improved by long experience in the most arduous situations, and prompted by the purest patriotism, enabled him to make; to the people called FEDERALISTS, we the federal republicans in Richmond and Manchester, submit this address. The violence of party, which, in the pursuit of power, has never hesitated to sacrifice its pretended republican principles, having deprived us of all influence in the approaching election of president, by substituting a general ticket in place of the election by districts, reduces us to the necessity of supporting one, or the other, of their rival candidates. In the present crisis of the country, there is no room for private considerations. Ancient friendship must yield to public good, and even the opinion of eminent talents can only persuade us that, under an improper bias, they may be more extensively mischievous.
We disapprove of many important acts of the present administration; to which, in our opinion, may be ascribed the evils we now endure and the still greater evils we have to apprehend; & as we cannot doubt that they have been recommended by Mr. MADISON, we must believe that they will continue to receive his sanction, and support. On the other hand we know that Mr. MONROE had the sagacity to foresee, and in his late public function, endeavored, as far as was in his power, to prevent our present distress; and we have reason to conclude from the last address of his COMMITTEE, that his course of proceeding, will be more agreeable to our sentiments, and to the true interests of the country.
We presume not, however, to dictate to our fellow citizens—our only hope is, that an expression of our opinion, may induce in their minds that serious reflection, which the times require, and a disposition, at all events, to act with energy and concert. Still less do we entertain the idea of interfering with the plans or objects of the other states, in which federalism may be more confident or less fettered than here. We leave them to vote according to circumstances & inclination; happy if they can accomplish, what it would be folly in us to attempt. We know that at this late period the whole weight of the federal vote in Virginia cannot be brought into action; but we had seen, until lately, no proof that Mr. Monroe would adopt a different course of proceeding in respect to our foreign relations, and a choice between individuals disposed to pursue the same system of measures, was to us unimportant.
2. Resolved, That Mr. Daniel Call, Mr. Wm. Marshall, Dr. John Adams, Messrs. James Penn, Robert Gamble, Jun. Thomas Wilson, Walter McClurg, and Charles Johnston, be appointed a committee to correspond with the federalists throughout this State, and to adopt all proper measures to promote the success of the election of the said James Monroe.

Attest, JOHN ADAMS, Secretary.

LONDON, August 30.
Letters of the 6th inst from Burgos mention that Joseph Bonaparte was expected there the following day: that the minister had proceeded secretly to Bayonne, and that the Duke Frias, supreme Junta of government in Castille, was authorised by the Superintendent of Police at Coruna to release from imprisonment such of the French residents there as should not, from specific complaints of the inhabitants, see just cause to continue a state of detention.
August 31.
It was yesterday reported that General Dupont had obtained another signal victory over the French. This very agreeable information is said to have been contained in a letter from Cadiz of the 9th inst, which reached this town by way of Guernsey. The letter itself, according to these accounts, was dated on the 4th inst. The French attacked the town with 11,000 men, and after a vigorous cannonade, attempted to force their way into it at several points. After a sanguinary conflict, they were evicted, repulsed, and compelled to retreat with the loss of half their number. The same letter states, that the patriotic Junta in Catalonia had obtained further advantages over the French in that province. It also confirms the capture of Bubio by the enemy, but differs from the accounts received by government, as to the strength of the force by which it was attacked. It stated, according to this letter, of 6,000 infantry, and 4,000 cavalry.
The greatest vigilance is employed in every part of the continent under the terror influence of Buonaparte, to prevent the transmission of any intelligence respecting the war.
Five transports sailed from the Nore yesterday, to proceed to Langeland, for the purpose of bringing away the Spanish prisoners, who will be furnished here with transportation and clothing before they are sent to Spain. Of the latter they have had supply, whatever since they left their native country.
Ten military waggons, laden with dollars for the use of the Spanish patriots, left the Nore yesterday morning for Portsmouth, with a military escort.
Major Campbell. —This unfortunate officer was shot at 12 o'clock at noon, on Wednesday, amidst a vast multitude of spectators. He met death with pious & becoming fortitude, having spent his last moments with Dr. Bowie, the father of the amiable and distressed widow. His body, after having been suspended the usual time, was put in a hearse in waiting, which left the town immediately, escorted by Dr. B. for Ayr, Scotland, to be interred in the family vault. To describe the distresses of the fond wife of the deceased would be impossible. Mrs. Campbell, who it is already known, used every effort to preserve the life of her partner, left London by the Glasgow mail on Saturday night, frantic betwixt despair and despair, but still cheered with the possibility of her solicitude obtaining, at least, another respite. On Monday morning, the friend of her husband, at whose house in Bary-street, St. James's, she resided whilst in London, received a letter from the lady's father, with the intelligence that "Major Campbell was no more." The distressed Mrs. C. would reach Ayr yesterday morning, the very time the corpse of her husband would arrive and we must here leave the tragic scene. Major Campbell in his conversation with his intimate friends, previously to surrendering himself, had alluded to the fact that if he were convicted of the crime he should suffer, as an example to others in Ireland; but it was always his opinion that a Jury would not convict him of murder. It has been erroneously stated, that the Jury recommended the deceased to mercy from his universal good character; the Jury recommended him in consequence of the duel having been a fair one, although, by the direction of the Judge, they were bound on their oaths, to convict the prisoner of murder. Major Campbell, previous to his death, observed, that life was not an object so dear to him, as the reputation was distressing that his children and family should bear the stigma that he was executed for murder.
September 1.
The extraordinary precautions adopted by the French government to prevent the circulation of all intelligence on the continent, not previously sanctioned by it, have been more successful than we should have expect-
ed. We are informed by a gentleman who left Holland on Thursday last, that although English papers announcing the defeat and subsequent surrender of Dupont, had arrived there, the fact was not generally believed, in consequence of a notice which was previously circulated, "To beware of false intelligence from England." Even the report of the surrender of the French squadron at Cadiz, though received with full credit some weeks ago, latterly fell into disrepute, on its being stated in the Journals de l'Empire, "that notwithstanding all the attempts of the English to get possession of the French ships in Cadiz harbor, they were still under the protection of the Spaniards." As few of the persons who read this were acquainted with the true state of affairs in Spain, it was very natural that they should be deceived by the equivocal nature of the expressions, and conclude that the French and Spaniards were the best friends imaginable. This miserable delusion, however, can last but a short time longer. Though the people of the North of Europe may shut their ears to what transpires respecting Spain, they will hardly be guilty of the wilful blindness of not opening their eyes to what is passing before them. For several days the French police, established in Hamburgh and the contiguous Danish territory, succeeded in causing the rumor, that the Spanish troops had escaped from the Island of Pinen, to be discredited, when unfortunately for their veracity, 500 Spaniards, who had not been able to join their brave countrymen, were marched into that city as prisoners of war. It is almost unnecessary to add, that their situation excited the deepest sympathy.
No account of the actual commencement of hostilities between Austria and France had reached Holland at the middle of last week, though such was daily expected. We understand that government purpose to pay off 19 or 20 sail of the line, and to transfer the crews to smaller vessels of war, which are to be sent to the Baltic and other quarters, where they are most wanted. It is no longer deemed necessary to keep up large fleets, since the enemy is no where in sufficient force to meet them.
Very considerable supplies of arms and ammunition have been sent from the ports in the North-West of Spain to the Biscayans.
Her majesty the queen of France, the duke and duchess of Angouleme, count and countess de Damas, and count Etienne de Damas, landed on Tuesday morning at Harwich, and immediately set off for Gosfield Hall.
It was again reported yesterday, that an insurrection had broken out in the interior of France.
The viceroy of Italy lately visited the house of our Lady of Loreto, and spent two hours in examining its sacred relics and curiosities. He assured the clergy of the place that it should henceforth be taken under his special protection.
September 2.
Another expedition, it is said, will be fitted out without delay, to consist of 29,000 men.
On the 21st ult. we understand, orders were issued to all the French and Dutch troops in the north of Holland to proceed to Breda, where they were to be joined by other troops from the banks of the Rhine. Opinions differed with respect to the ultimate destination of this force. According to some, it was intended to be sent to Spain, others held that it would take the direction of the Austrian territories. The third regiment of hussars, which was quartered at the Hague, broke up on the 26th, and was replaced by the 2d regiment from Leyden.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21.
PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION. —We have not yet the returns of all the votes in the state of Pennsylvania; but we have enough to convince us that this state has gone down the cataract of jacobinism with a thundering majority. The poor deluded people, however, have not so much foresight as had the Indian who went down the falls of Niagara; though they go to as certain perdition. The Indian saw his danger, but not until too late to prevent destruction—he, however, met it like a man. Not so our jacobins—they go laughing, shouting, and singing to the brink of the precipice, and will never perceive their hazardous situation until they feel themselves dashed into the hideous caverns of despotism—never to rise.
[Wash. Fed.]
Every genuine republican heart must beat high at the unexampled efforts of Spain. In no age or nation has the divine right of self-government been so heroically main-
ed as within a few short months by Spain. Spanish gallantry has astonished the broken spirited and degraded continent of Europe to a degree that must, if there be a spark of electric matter left in humiliated Germany, raise up another light that will illuminate the regions from the Rhine to the very confines of Tartary. Away then with Gallic tyranny, proclaim the doughty descendants of Alaric. A second Attila will rise to scourge the French empire, and the short lived grandeur of the great nation will furnish another horrible proof of maddening and damning ambition. Generous Andalusians—brave Arragonese—invincible Catalonians! these are the works of thy hands; and thy deeds, upon which even valor looks with wonder, will ascend to Heaven's high chancery amid the hallelujahs of the sainted martyrs of liberty. The people of America are your friends—they echo and re-echo your superhuman achievements; and if they do not speak through a "tender nervous" administration, be it known to you, your cause is dear to them. It is not to hireling editors, a base and venal tribe we commit our finer and characteristic feelings—an American's bosom is the sacred repository of his rights and his honor, and every son of Columbia, who has not enlisted himself under the banner of a French faction, proudly boasts the heroism of Spain, and looks with terrible indignation on the detestible perfidy of her insatiate enemy. B. (ibid.)
Kingston, (Jam.) Sept. 10. —By a late proclamation of the governor of Santa Cruz it appears, that an EMBARGO is a game which two can play at. Mr. Jefferson says, nothing shall go from the U. States to Santa Cruz; governor Harcourt says nothing shall go from Santa Cruz to the U. States. The collector of St. Kitt's on the same account, recently peremptorily refused an entry to the American schooner Patriot, Smith, from Massachusetts, and he was obliged, after four days of ineffectual solicitation to return home with only his sea-stores and ballast.
Extract of a letter dated Point Petre, (Guad) September 8. to a gentleman in Savannah.
"Yesterday all the town was in an uproar in consequence of our descrying twenty-one sail of vessels standing in for this port, which were supposed to be enemies. Alarm guns were fired, and every one turned out eager to meet the enemy; but they proved to be 16 sail of transports, full of provisions, from Bordeaux, under conduct of l'Atalante and l'Italienne, of 44 guns each, with three English prizes, carrying 36, 24, and 20 guns each.
"Had it not been for these arrivals, the Captain-General of this island had resolved to make an attack on Marigalame to-morrow; but it has been postponed for a few days, in order to get the assistance of the two frigates; and the prize of 36 guns, which is now unloading, will be manned for the expedition."
