I WISH TO SELL, the unexpired lease of 3 years, from the 10th day of December next, in the elegant and commodious HOTEL I now occupy in Alexandria. This establishment is justly celebrated as affording the best accommodations on the continent, and to a man of attention and abilities in the line of his profession, cannot fail to yield a handsome fortune. The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove, that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States.
Attached to the tavern, is a well conducted coffee house, supported by a respectable subscription.
Together with an insurance office. There are at present twenty four yearly boarders of the first respectability, in the hotel.
The whole house is elegantly furnished, and to a person who takes the lease, the greater part of the furniture will be sold on the most reasonable terms.

VIRTUE ALONE PRODUCES HAPPINESS.
The Man whom virtue does not bind, No lasting Comfort knows, Nor e'er enjoys that peace of Mind, Which innocence bestows.
Then learn, ye youth, on Earth's abode, That vice may some times thrive, There's nought on earth's uncertain road, But virtue can survive.
And you, ye fair, with caution arm, 'Gainst man's perfidious arts, For youth and beauty vainly charm, When virtue once departs.
May virtue all my soul possess, And may I never cease, To find her ways are pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

LONDON, August 26.
The king has been pleased to grant the dignities of baron and viscount of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, unto the right hon. sir Arthur Wellesley, knight of the most hon. order of the bath, and lieut. gen. of his majesty's forces, and to the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, by the names, styles and titles of baron Douro of Wellesley, in the county of Somerset, and viscount Wellington, of Talavera, and Wellington, in the said county.
August 28.
By the new Swedish constitution, which has lately been made public at Stockholm, in five sheets quarto, the king is to be assisted by a council of state, consisting of nine members, by whose advice he makes peace or war, and transacts all important affairs. All public offices must be filled by men of the land and naval forces. The royal age of maturity takes place at twenty. Should the male branch of the royal family become extinct, the council governs until the states are convoked. No prince royal can marry without the consent of the states.
August 29.
The people of England are at length beginning to awake from the delusive dream by which they have been amused for the last month. The expedition, as we predicted, and as every person of common understanding might have foreseen, is about to return, without having accomplished the avowed object for which it was prepared. Whether a difference of opinion among the superior officers does or does not exist—whether col. Congreve did or did not come home for orders, with respect to the ulterior objects of our armament, we will not undertake to say; but this we do know, that our force has lingered before secondary objects, until the grand primary object of the expedition is believed to be unattainable. Thus ends the conquest of Holland, and expulsion of king Louis. Even Flushing, almost the first fruits of our efforts, is already threatened, and compelled to stand on the defensive! When we look back even but a few weeks, and reflect on the opprobrious calumnies with which every one presuming to doubt the full success of the expedition, was loaded, we surely may be excused for exclaiming—what infatuation!
The accomplishment of the ulterior objects of the expedition seems to be completely given up, and the belief is now very generally prevalent that the operations of the expedition in Holland are at end. The almost universal question now is, where does the expedition go next—some say to Sicily—some to Cadiz—others to Lisbon? Perhaps it will puzzle our vigorous ministers to know where to send it. We now relinquish all hope of the power of England being usefully directed by men who have so repeatedly exhibited proofs of utter incapacity in that respect.
In what part of the peninsula the late sir Arthur Wellesley will receive the notification of his exaltation to the rank of viscount, is uncertain—for brilliant as is the lustre reflected on the British army and commander by their gallant defence at Talavera—they
have retreated—and must retreat, before a disciplined and experienced force, of acknowledged numerical superiority.
From Germany, we are without intelligence. Amongst the next that is received may be anticipated peace between France and Austria; and long before Christmas, we apprehend, that neither on the Great Peninsula, nor on the Continent of Europe with the exception of Gibraltar, will there be one British regiment.
From a Gottenburg mail which arrived this day, we extract the following intelligence:
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 10.
We have not yet received accounts from our army and navy, nor has any thing transpired of the present state of the negotiations for peace between this country, Russia and Denmark.
Lieut. May, the bearer of sir F. Stretchan's dispatches of the surrender of Flushing, is promoted to the rank of commander.
Dr. Anderson, of the Botanical gardens, at St. Vincents, has transmitted to this country specimens of the bark of five different kinds of trees, which he conceives may become substitutes for oak barks in tanning. They are all common on that island, and if found to possess the astringent or tanning quality, may be procured at a very low price.
The magazines found in Flushing are very considerable; in one store alone there was found 12 000 sacks of flour, all public property.
The schooner John arrived at Plymouth from Oporto, which place she left on the 12th inst. bringing intelligence that the Friends transport arrived there from England a few days previous to her sailing, with about 5000 stand of arms on board, and another transport laden with shoes, for the Portuguese army; the whole of which, together with the arms were landed the day they arrived; and the next day 5000 Portuguese troops marched from Oporto for Vigo, who were chiefly commanded by British officers. Several detachments of Portuguese regiments, amounting together to about 8000 men, were left to garrison Oporto, the greater part of which were not armed. Immediately on intelligence being received at Oporto of the victory obtained by our troops at Talavera, a general illumination took place for three nights. About 1100 Portuguese troops who left Oporto to join the British army, a few days before the action took place, fell in with a division of the French army, who massacred the whole of them.
The city of Antwerp, which is supposed to be the ultimate object of the expedition, forms no part of the former territories of Holland; it is situated about 40 miles S. E. of Flushing, on the east side of the Scheldt, which is here of sufficient depth and width to admit vessels of great burden close to the quay. The commerce of this city, rather more than two centuries ago, was superior to any other state in Europe, 2500 merchant vessels arriving in its port in one year. In 1550 the value of the merchandise imported that year amounted to 133 millions. But when the United Provinces threw off the Spanish yoke, having got possession of the entrance of the Scheldt they sunk obstructions in the channel to prevent a free navigation. The town is surrounded by a wall and regular fortifications. The navigation of the river was declared free in August, 1794.
Last week William Constable and Richard Cockcroft, two manufacturers, were apprehended at Hull, for preparing to leave this kingdom for America.
The dominions of Hanover, to the amount of two millions of livres yearly, have been distributed by Bonaparte among his generals and ministers. The following have the largest grants:—
Berthier, Bernadotte, Mortier, Duroc, Ney, Augereau, Massena, Caulaincourt, Davoust, Soult, Lefebvre, Lebrun, Bessieres, Junot, Victor, Fouche, Champagne, Decres, and Cretet.
The following is given as the present price of provisions at Flushing:—Fowls, 6d. each; butter, 4d. per lb.; cheese, 2d. per lb.; Hollands' gin, 2s. 6d. per gallon; a pig weighing 250 lbs. 11. 1s. English; a fat sheep, 8s.
The annual conference of the Methodists held this year at Manchester, terminated on Thursday: 250 preachers attended. Actual increase of members during the past year, 14,200.—6,200 in England and Ireland, and 8000 in America. The number of preachers received at conference, after the four probationary years, exclusive of those in the districts, was 20; and the number of new chapels opened since last conference, is stated to be considerable.
August 30.
Letters have been received from Peterburgh to the 31st ult. and from Riga to the 11th instant. By these we learn that the
report of a general embargo in the harbors of Russia, and the Baltic is erroneous. It is true, that an embargo has been imposed, but, instead of being general, it is confined to native ships only, and the sole object is to prevent their falling into the hands of the powerful British force cruising in that sea. With a license from this country it is understood that any Russian ships would be permitted to take their departure. All the difficulties respecting the American vessels in the port of Riga, have been removed by the good understanding which subsists between the consignees and the official agents of the Russian government.
Orders have been received at Woolwich to prepare artillery for another expedition.
MIDDLEBURGH, August 28.
On the 21st instant the following proclamations were published:
PROCLAMATION.
"His excellency Lord Chatham, commanding the troops of his Britannic Majesty, being informed that many deserters and persons belonging to the French troops and some of them armed, are on the island, orders, that the before mentioned armed or unarmed deserters, or other persons, be arrested, and delivered over to the nearest English detachment, and that no one presume to harbor such deserters, on pain of being sentenced, on conviction, to pay a penalty of 100 florins (one half of which shall be given to the informer whose name shall be kept secret) and be otherwise severely punished according to military law. Military deserters and other persons belonging to the French army, not surrendering within three days, shall be punished as spies"
PROCLAMATION.
"His excellency Lord Chatham, &c. being informed that many persons pass from one island to another, without being furnished with the necessary passports, orders, that no one presume to repair from the island of which he is an inhabitant, to another island, without having obtained a passport from the magistrate, which must be signed by the general or other commanding officer, on pain of being arrested."
"All ferrymen and mariners are commanded to take no one over unfurnished with a pass. The transgressor of this command shall not only suffer the loss of the boat, or vessel, but shall, according to circumstances, be punished according to military law."
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 5, 5, 1809.
FREDERICK VITH KING, &c.
Make known that circumstances have determined us to order and command the following respecting privateering.
1. No armed private ship or vessel furnished with a licence or commission to capture vessels is according to our order of 10th Sept. 1807, shall be permitted to sail from any of our ports from this date, until we shall order to the contrary.
2. All our authorities, bailiffs, &c. are commanded to watch over the execution of this decree. Should any commander of an armed vessel wish to sail from a port of less security to a more secure one, he shall be permitted to do so by our bailiffs, &c.; but on condition that the commander obliges himself, immediately, and without cruising, to make direct for the port he has requested to be permitted to go.
3. The owners of privateers are ordered to recall them as soon as possible; and if they should not be laid up within four weeks from the publication of this, they are ordered to account to the authorities how far, and in what manner they have endeavored to recall them; and the authorities are charged to look to the fulfilment of it.
4. Such commanders of privateers as intend to go on a cruise from the western parts of our dukedom of Holstein, also Tonningen, Husum, and Frederickstadt, to cruise to and round Heligoland, shall be permitted to do so, provided they enter into an obligation not to cruise beyond the waters of Heligoland, nor beyond the height of Toning. If privateers of our other dominions are to go through the Schleswig, Holstein canal, or along the west coast and Jutland, the harbors of Holstein and Schleswig, with a view to cruise under Heligoland, they are permitted to do so, provided they go direct as ordered in section 2.
5. The delivery of licences and commissions for privateers is postponed until our further royal commands.
All who are concerned are commanded to act accordingly.

PARIS, July 30. An imperial decree of the 17th June last, which had re-established the relations with Holland on the same footing with what had existed prior to the decree of the 19th Sept. 1808.
Here follows the decree of September 1808, by which this change is now in force.
We, Napoleon, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, and Protector of the Rhine Confederacy, upon the Report of our Minister of Finance, have decreed, and do decree as follows:—
Art. 1. The entry into France of all colonial produce passing through Holland and Spain, is prohibited, until it be otherwise ordered.
2. The vessels loaded with colonial produce which enter the Elbe, the Weser, and the Yade, shall be seized, &c.
3. This present decree shall not derogate from the provisions of that of the 9th June, by which we have reserved to ourselves to permit, according to circumstances, the introduction of cotton wool.
4. Our minister of finance is charged with the circulation of the present decree.

Extracts from the log-book.
October 3, off Cape Fear, experienced a heavy gale of wind, which carried away the mast, main boom, and part of the deck load, and left the vessel a complete wreck, in which situation we lay two days, when the gale abated. October 5, in lat. 34, 44, long. 67, 00, spoke schooner Hero, captain Stephen Sears, of Bath, 15 days out from Charleston, bound to Boston. He enquired if we wanted any assistance; we answered we did; he hoisted out his boat, and sent two men on board, with his compliments, that if we chose to abandon the vessel, he would take us on board, otherwise, he must make sail and stand off, as he expected another gale was then springing up; we then requested of him to let his men remain a while to assist us to rig a jury mast, which he refused. We then asked him if he could spare us a spar, some rope, and a few nails; he replied he had nothing on board to spare, and began to make sail. We then begged of him to remain by us a little while to see how the weather would prove, that we might have a chance if it proved bad, to leave the wreck, which he likewise refused, and went off. Same day, spoke brig Clarissa Claiborne, Hawthorn, from Havana, bound to Philadelphia, who humanely took us in tow during the night, and came on board next morning with his people, supplied us with spars, &c. and assisted us in rigging a jury mast. Oct. 6, lat. 34, 57, long. 66, 00, spoke schooner James, Watson, 33 days out from Jamaica, bound to Philadelphia; they being distressed for provisions, could not afford us much assistance; we supplied them with half a barrel beef, half do. pork, potatoes, cabbages, &c.

Extract of a letter from captain Hawthorn, of the brig Clarissa Claiborne, from Havana for Philadelphia, dated "Fifteen fathom water off Cape Hatteras, October 6, 1809.
"This goes by the schooner James of Philadelphia, capt. Watson, who I am now supplying with water, she being short, out 29 days from Kingston. The day before yesterday fell in with the sloop President of Philadelphia, captain Swain, out nine days for Charleston, in a very wretched condition, having lost his mast the day before I fell in with her; supplied her with two spars and part of a steering sail, and assisted him in getting a jury mast up; she is now in sight, making the best of her way for New-York. We have had severe gales since leaving the Havana."

With much satisfaction I have just seen the prospectus of a new Federal paper to be published at Richmond, Virginia, and that satisfaction has been rendered complete by knowing that it is to be placed under the superintendence of an editor every way well qualified for the task.

Disaster of the ship Christopher Gore, Zenas Rogers, master.
On the afternoon of the 29th of August, in lat. 43, long. 58, 10, west, the wind to westward and cloudy—towards night much rain and thunder—at 6 P. M. the tempest ceased, the small sails taken in: reef fore top-sail, and close reef main and mizen top-sail—the wind at E. N. E. and cloudy, looked likely for a storm—at 7 P. M. handed main and fore sails, then standing south and eastward, the wind increasing; at 10 P. M. handed fore and mizen topsails—finding the ship would not lay to, put her before the wind, under the close reefed main topsail, and found the wind to increase very fast and the sea to rise—set the fore-top mast staysail, the wind soon blew violently. I took the helm with the mate and three men—the ship steered well—on account of the violence of the wind, and the dreadful sea, at one o'clock in the morning, in spite of our endeavors, the ship broached to, dove down yards in the water, and did not right until the masts were cut away. When the mizen mast was cut away, the mainmast went with it just below the rigging—then the foremast was cut away. We now found it impossible to do any thing more to help the ship and went below and left her to the mercy of God. Most of the small lumber was washed overboard. In the morning it was moderate; found the most part of the main and mizen rigging hanging to her; the foremast and appendages gone; the ledge anchor and water cask gone; saved as much rigging and sails as possible. On the 12th of September, found the ship to increase leaking, and to strain badly and labor very much, the sea being bad; wind strong at W. and S. thought ourselves under the necessity of heaving the timber off deck, for the safety of ship and cargo. The ship being under jury-masts, by the blessing of God, we arrived in the harbor of Bristol, N. S.
[Baltimore American.]
The News from Spain.—We yesterday (says the Baltimore Federal Gazette of the 11th inst.) copied from the Salem Gazette, (federal) capt. Leach's accounts of the French victory over the combined armies. To-day we have the Salem Register (democrat) of the 7th, which adds the following:
"Capt. Leach found it impossible to obtain any particulars of this action, as the Junta would not permit it to be published. It was however firmly believed by the English gentlemen at Cadiz, from whom capt. Leach received his information on the 14th August. Capt. L. heard the same account from an English ship which he spoke two days after he sailed."
The following remarks are by major Russell:
From the Boston Centinel of October 7. We give this day two important but contradictory accounts of the state of affairs in Spain; both from Cadiz. One will be found under the Salem head; in which it is stated by capt. Leach, who left Cadiz the 16th August, that on the 14th reports were circulated there, that about the 10th, somewhere between Seville and Madrid, [places very distant from each other by the way] the French under Victor having been reinforced, renewed their onsets on the combined English and Spanish armies, defeated the
former, and compelled it to retreat into Portugal; and annihilated the latter; but that these tremendous disasters had not occasioned any apprehensions of danger in the Supreme Junta at Seville. So far the Salem account. On the other hand a Spanish frigate has arrived at New York, which left Cadiz the 20th August (6 days after the circulation of the above news in Cadiz) and not one syllable respecting the disaster had transpired by her. On the contrary we have official Seville papers to the 17th Aug. by which it appears, that Venegas had advanced to Aranjuez, where he had thrice repulsed the attacks of the French upon him; and afterwards only compelled to return to La Mancha for want of provisions; and that the people of Madrid had driven the French garrison out of their city to the Retiro.—Thus far the New York accounts.
We are of opinion that the Salem reports were the mere newsmongers bubbles at Cadiz; though we do not hold an event of the kind to have been impossible. We now know that in the battle of Talavera, Marshal Victor had been joined by either Soult or Ney's corps, which were approaching from the south. When those corps should be united to his, he would in regular troops, have a decided superiority, and would not have lost a moment to make the most direful use of it. Still, had the event as reported have taken place, it is very extraordinary that no hint of it should have transpired from the Spanish frigate, in which an American gentleman [Mr. Baily] came passenger; and when too a great number of Spanish papers have been received, & which must immediately expose the reporters of her news, if any had been concealed. It seems a little surprising too, if, as capt. L. reports, the Spaniards took pains to conceal the event, that they should have suffered it to travel at the rate of 70 miles per day, directly through the most patriotic part of their country.
Spanish Affairs.—Our paper of this evening, (says the Norfolk Ledger, of the 9th inst.) is considerably occupied by matters relative to that part of the world, upon which we shall offer some remarks. The battle of Talavera, of which we are in possession of very ample details, has been more honorable than advantageous to the British. That the French were defeated is certain, from leaving their cannon, and their subsequent retreat to Santa Olalla, but none of the advantages of victory have been derived by the combined army; in fact if getting to Madrid was the object, the allies in effect are defeated.
The despatches of general Venegas and the intelligence from Gibraltar, give us a more clear view of the situations of the armies than has been before presented. It appears that Venegas had reached Aranjuez by the 5th of August, as on that day he was attacked by the army of Victor, which had engaged Wellesley on the 27th and 28th of July; on the 11th of August he was again attacked and forced back upon the Sierra Morena; after which we have nothing further.
Meanwhile it appears that Soult, having collected a considerable force in the north of Spain and Old Castile, had evacuated Galicia and the Asturias and marched thro' Leon, and was on the Tagus about the beginning of August. General Wellesley and Cuesta (for we see no official account of his resigning) immediately turned their attention to Soult; the advance of Venegas on the right having called the attention of Victor's division. Gen. Wellesley had marched on the third of August to meet Soult, followed by the Spanish army. Wellesley's force will be about the same that it was when he engaged with Victor, (he having been reinforced by general Crawfords brigade after the action) with the addition of sir Robert Wilson's command, who was advanced to Escalona, near half way between Talavera and Madrid, for it cannot be supposed that sir Robert Wilson would be permitted to remain so far advanced from the main body, which was as low down on the Tagus as Almaraz, upwards of ten leagues below Talavera. We are indebted to an intelligent correspondent for a state of the contending armies before the battle of Talavera.
Wellesley's army, including general Crawford's brigade, and that of sir Robert Wilson, 30,000 Cuesta's army united now to Wellesley's, 30,000 Venegas on the right, 25,000 85,000 Victor and Sebastiani, exclusive of the garrison of Madrid, 35,000 Soult advanced through Leon on the left of the British army, 30,000 65,000 The more distant corps of the army were Romana's advancing after
Soult through Leon, 16,000 General Beresford advanced from Portugal is said to be at Cindad Rodrigo in Leon, 15,000
No notice is taken of the force of the respective armies in Arragon and Catalonia. The armies that will be probably most engaged are those above noticed. It appears to be the plan of Victor to drive Venegas out of La Mancha, and probably to push into Andalusia, even to Seville itself. While on the Tagus, Wellesley and the Spanish army will press upon Soult, with superior numbers. Soult, if he can draw the combined army after him, and can effect his retreat, will not only deliver Madrid, but give Victor an opportunity of pushing into Andalusia, where Venegas will have an inferior force even in numbers to oppose him. The French generals must wish to gain time for powerful reinforcements, which they may now calculate on receiving from France, and their plans seem well calculated to that object.
We must confess, that recent advices do not seem favorable to the Spanish cause, and if it be true that gen. Wellesley has been appointed commander in chief of the Spanish force, it proves a want of military talents, or a want of something else which it is still worse to want. We should be among the last to despair, but really if the Spaniards have considered the British forces as their main, instead of auxiliary dependence, our hopes of their success must diminish. But before we decide on this point we shall wait further information.
The proclamation of Angereau is a master piece of barbarity of profaneness: we have no doubt that all which it threatens, if possible, will be most punctually executed, for in the execution of promises of that nature, the generals of Napoleon are most punctual.
Latest from Spain.
The brig Rebecca, from Cadiz, although she left that port on the 24th of August, 4 days later than the Spanish frigate, brings nothing new, printed or verbal. The capt. had not heard of the battle which was said in the Salem papers to have been fought the 10th of August near Madrid, between the Anglo-Spanish army and the French, in which the former were said to be defeated with great slaughter. Letters of the 24th of August represent the affairs of the Patriots as in a favorable state, and that the present form of government was about to be changed to a Regency.

RANAWAY, from the subscriber, last night, a mulatto man, named ANDREW, sometimes called Andrew Johnson, about 40 years of age, he is a middling bright mulatto, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, spare made, thin face, woolly head, a little inclined to hair, small ear, small eye brows and lashes, thin lips for a person of color, small beard, a pretty high forehead—there are several small spots on the inside of his left arm, and a little above the elbow are two small scars about an inch apart—he is a very smart active fellow, and can do almost any kind of work—he is excessively fond of liquor and will seldom be sober if he can get it, and when drunk is very stupid. He had on when he went away an old short coat and pantaloon of black superfine cloth, an old spotted waistcoat, oznaburg shirt and an old white hat, but as he took other clothes with him he will probably change his dress. He has a wife at Mrs. Fendall's farm in Fairfax county, about 5 miles from Alexandria, where it is probable he may be harbored by her at night, and skulk about the neighboring woods through the day. I will give the above reward for delivering the said runaway to me in Alexandria, if taken without the counties of Alexandria & Fairfax, and FIVE DOLLARS if taken within either of the said counties.
