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.

Fifty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Pittsylvania, Virginia, the 4th instant, a likely Mulatto Lad, named BARTELEY CUTTRIDGE, who was formerly the property of John Sutton, deceased: Pineotop, Middlesex county, and sold to Robert Adams by Mrs. Ann Sutton executrix of John Sutton.
BARTELEY is a very bright mulatto, his hair is black and very straight; he is from seventeen to nineteen years of age, five feet 8 or 8 inches high, and inclined to be round shouldered—there is nothing more remarkable in this boy that I recollect. He was bred a sailor, and will no doubt attempt to pass as a freeman and get on board some vessel, and by that means make his escape, as he once made the attempt when the property of Mrs. Ann Sutton, and was apprehended in New York, where he may attempt to go again, or to Baltimore, Philadelphia, or to some other port where he may get a passage to secure his freedom. This boy was seen crossing the river at Manchester last Tuesday. I therefore forewarn all masters or commanders of vessels from employing, harboring, or conveying the said boy away. The above reward will be paid to any person for apprehending and confining the said boy in Richmond jail, or any other jail, so that I get him again.

MR. SNOWDEN,
THE appointment of William Duane to an office in the army of the United States, has justly called forth the indignation, and awakened the suspicion of every honest republican. When we see foreigners destitute of talents, and qualifications, created to offices of honor and emolument, we cannot suppress the indignation it excites—we are at a loss to account for appointments, so repugnant to reason, so opposite to sound policy, and so mortifying to men accustomed to be commanded by officers, reared in their own country, interested in the defence of its rights and liberties, and ushered into public esteem by virtues and accomplishments which excite emulation. Could we console ourselves with the pleasing reflection, that Duane's transcendant abilities entitle him to the situation he is appointed to fill in the American army, we should not find his advancement so vehemently deprecated by persons of different political sentiments. The warmest advocates of the party he has unremittingly supported for many years, with all his abilities and influence, execrate his exaltation—with one voice they condemn the man, whose life presents such vivid scenes of atrocity and wickedness—whose seditious pen has sought no other avocation, than the dissemination of falsehood—whose malevolent heart was capable of aspersing the character of our illustrious Washington—whose prolific mind could find terms of reproach for so pure, so hallowed a man! and whose character is equally notorious in whatever country he may have degraded by his presence, or disgraced by his actions. It has been asserted, and I believe proven to the satisfaction of every unbiassed mind, that, having violated the laws of England, he secretly made his escape to the East Indies; and having become in a short time as obnoxious there, as he formerly had been in England, he was again constrained to fly from that punishment which his crimes so justly merited. After this last repulse, America was unfortunately destined to be the theatre on which this democratical hero was to display, in full perfection, that seditious and restless character which had procured him eminence and renown in another country. And indeed, under such a form of government as ours, he found an extensive field for the exhibition of his vicious qualities. Men who possess a mediocrity of talents, generally glide peaceably through life, without exciting jealousy, or fomenting discord; but those who verge to the extreme of either vice or virtue, particularly attract our attention—and, as this eloquent and valiant Colonel has demonstrated, to the conviction of every impartial man,* that vice is peculiarly congenial to his nature, we ought strenuously to resent the unparalleled insult offered to the nation by his promotion. Shall we, fellow-citizens of America, tacitly admit the legality of his appointment by permitting him to domineer over us? Shall he command our youth, and tutor them in his insidious arts? Shall he usurp a post which should be occupied by some experienced veteran, who gallantly defended our liberties and privileges during the revolutionary war, and who, in the spirit of an American soldier, adds an unblemished character? Does America boast of no such character—none who by having enjoyed, knows how to appreciate liberty?—Alas! she boasts of many, though neglected worthies of '76. I will ask any honest man who feels for the honor of his country, if this appointment is not prejudicial to our dearest interests, and impolitic in the extreme?—The character of the man, and his conduct, subsequent to his unfortunate emigration to this country, are sufficient to convince us of the irreparable injury done to the service of our country by his promotion—and every officer in the army, in whose mind the nice principles of military honor have their proper weight, should be as prompt and secure in resenting an insult of this nature, offered to the service, as in defending his own honor when maliciously traduced. He should consider the man, who has defamed the character of the "greatest and the best of men," who has advocated the most ruinous and destructive measures, who has attacked and violated the constitution, unworthy of his confidence. He who, to the character of an English Outlaw , unites that of an American Libeller , should receive the supercilious treatment which his baseness merits.

(VIA NEW-YORK.)
LONDON, July 27.
Upon the additional glorious intelligence which we have this day the happiness to communicate, we most heartily congratulate the public. We now clearly discover the bright dawn of a happy day for Europe; for Bonaparte, we are persuaded, cannot, in the present situation of affairs, ever retrieve himself so far as to regain what he has lost, or to stop the progress of the consequent rapid decline of his infamously acquired extensive power. Though his past operations have set all ordinary calculations at defiance, by overcoming moral difficulties, he has never yet been able to surmount physical impossibilities. The force which he had marched into Spain and Portugal, and which, we trust, has, long ere this, been annihilated, was as large as he deemed necessary, or perhaps could spare, under all the circumstances of Europe, and with a view to his ulterior designs. The error of his estimate of the amount of force necessary for the reduction of Spain, and the retention of Portugal, was not apparent till late in June, and it was not till the present month that means were taken by marching troops from the interior of France and Holland to correct it. The military establishment of France though large, must have its limits, as well in the moral inability to extend it, as from the political necessity for its dispersed disposition. The army, that we trust has been, or will be annihilated in Spain and Portugal, was little short of 130,000 men, not inferior to the force employed at Austerlitz, at Jena, or at Friedland, and yet if in either of these cases, the whole force had been cut off, no person would be hardy enough to assert, that the Corsican could, with the same celerity, assemble a second army to retrieve his loss, as he had shown in collecting the first. But Spain is contiguous to France. Granted; yet it is not from France that the army can be supplied, but from Poland, Dalmatia, Germany and Italy; and it will remain to be proved by the event, whether that be practicable, or will be hazarded. France and Holland had already been drained to make up the original invading army, and consequently whatever troops can now be collected from either, or both, may be sufficient for a reinforcement, but will be wholly inadequate to affect a country defended by above a million of men in arms. It is not by the gens d'armes of France, or the conscripts of the year 1809 or 1810, that the brave patriots of Spain, having the experience of some months warfare, injured to the toils of a campaign, flushed with recent victory, and determined to conquer or perish, are to be subdued. Such an operation demands the best troops of the French army, and in much greater numbers than their blood-thirsty tyrant will dare to draw together. If Italy is to be retained, if Dalmatia is to be kept, if Germany in her present menacing attitude, is to be watched, if the population of the north of Holland, nay even of France itself, is to be awed by the presence of a military force; if, in fine, the Corsican be not prepared to abandon all the other parts of the continent, and put even his power in France to the hazard, for his infernal but desperate designs upon Spain, he will not, he cannot within any reasonable time, collect an army adequate to give him a chance of its reduction. This business must be done, or attempted, by French troops only. There is something so electrical in the transfusion of the patriotic fire, that it would not be safe to employ the troops of the Confederation of the Rhine against the Spaniards. The animated spectacle of a brave and gallant, but insulted nation, gloriously contending with the destroyers of Europe, in defence of their hearths and their altars, their king, their country, and their God, would inevitably awaken them to a sense of native oppression; and the first moment of such retrospective feeling would detach them from the tyrant, to make common cause with the common objects of his persecution and injustice. It will not even be safe to intrust troops made of such materials with the care of the prostrate nations of the continent, without a large admixture of French force.
The spirit of Spain will spread with the knowledge of the measures and successes of the patriots; and if it once burst forth in nations that have long overflowed with the inundation of French rapacity and oppression, the whole fabric of the Corsican's power, with all its sanguinary instruments, will vanish, and be no more heard of, but in the posthumous execrations of mankind.—Whether we look, therefore, to the position of the French armies on the continent, or to the actual situation and unavoidable disposi-
tions of the different nations of Europe, we contemplate, in every circumstance, much of auspicious promise for the patriots. We are aware that it may be said, that this is too sanguinary a view of the good cause, and that we shall be referred to the past conduct of the Corsican to prove it so. But it is upon the fullest admission of all that can be claimed for him, on the score of that past conduct, that we entertain this view of the case; it is because we suppose that Bonaparte, when he invaded Spain, was not inattentive to other objects; that when he was stripping the Pope of his temporalities, he could not calculate upon the approbation of the catholic powers of Europe; that as his views did not terminate in Spain or Rome, his measures embraced all his other objects; that he did not take a man from Germany, Italy, or Dalmatia, more than he thought absolutely necessary for his designs on Spain, that as he was not apprehensive of any rising in France, he made up the invading army principally of the forces which he had in France, and that consequently, the army he now wants for a fresh invasion must be drawn from the other parts of the continent, to the imminent hazard of all his other objects. If the force sent to Spain had proved sufficient, the whole arrangement would have been of a piece with all his former measures; and it is from the fatal error committed in proportioning the amount of that force, that we think the view we have taken of his present difficulties justifiable, as well as that the grand expedition from England will have arrived, to co-operate with, or make a diversion in favor of the patriots, long before any very formidable force can be collected again to invade Spain.
Such are the pleasing reflections in which we wish to indulge; leaving to others to pursue a different course. We envy not the situation of those whose daily task it is to throw doubts upon the authenticity of the intelligence of the defeat of the enemy by the gallant Palafox; to ridicule the noble admirable address of that gallant chief to the Arragonese; and to predict that Bonaparte is about to overwhelm Spain with his whole force. Be ours a more grateful, and, we trust, a more beneficial duty to our country. Be it for us to contemplate the enthusiasm which pervades every part of the British empire in favor of the patriot cause. It is our heartfelt delight, that throughout the country there is but one wish and one sentiment upon the subject, and it will be the everlasting glory of Great Britain, that in this great crisis of the fate of Europe, she has performed her duty.
We have been informed, that Junot some time since issued a proclamation at Lisbon, by which he invites the people of Portugal to repair to his standard, and offers such as should immediately comply, the daily payment of a new crown (about 2s. & 1-2d sterling). Notwithstanding the magnitude of the temptation, it does not appear that a single person had taken advantage of it.
PASSES INTO SPAIN.
At the present moment, when every Briton looks with apprehension to the means which the despot of the continent has of pouring the instruments of his vengeance into Spain, the following account of the communication between that country and France, will afford some gratification to our readers.
The first and greatest of the roads, which conducts straight to Madrid from France, is the one occupied by Bonaparte, and which Joseph has taken in his route from Bayonne to that city. It lies for near 22 leagues through the Pyrenees, before they sink into easy acclivities, between Mondragon and Victoria. At every step an army is exposed to an attack; but as Napoleon appears to be completely master of the country, from the Bidassoa quite to Victoria, it is to be presumed that his forces will encounter no difficulties on their march, except those caused by want of magazines, and provisions. In many parts of Old Castile, even bread and eggs are not to be procured. Even in Alaya and in Biscay it is difficult for troops accustomed to the abundance that reigns in France, to conceive the want of every kind of sustenance. Water itself is not always to be found.
The second grand entrance into Spain is from Perpignan to Barcelona through Bellegrade, La Junquera and the famous pass of Figueras, in Catalonia. About fifty miles of this road lies through the Gorges of the Pyrenees, where in many places an hundred armed peasants may arrest an army. Neither horses, provisions, nor accommodations are to be found between Bellegrade and the city of Girona. That Barcelona and the fort of Montjuif are in possession of the French we know. But whether the fort and passage of Figueras are so, may be matter of doubt; and if, as has been asserted, the pa-
triots have surprised that fortress, the French troops in Catalonia may be in a very dangerous predicament.
A third road conducts from Bayonne into Navarre, straight to the capital of the province, Pampeluna. It is a most dangerous and almost impracticable entrance through perpetual defiles and prodigious mountains, which can only be passed between May and the end of October. By the road, however, it is that Napoleon seems to have crossed the Ebro at Tudela, and proceeding down its left bank, to have had various engagements with the patriots, particularly at Alagon, and at Saragossa. We must presume that the French still retain possession of this entrance into Spain, but we know little or nothing certain relative to the actual state of Navarre.
There is a fourth road, from Tarbes, Bigorre, along the valleys that divide the province from Aragon, which conducts to Saragossa. It passes through the Spanish towns of Jaca and Huesca; but it is rather a track pervious to muleteers, during summer, than a road by which any troops can pass. In winter the snows render it totally impassable.
July 28.
The following are the positions of the French in Spain; as far as we have been able to ascertain them—There were two strong divisions in and near Pampeluna—Bessieres force, about 13,000 men, was on the frontiers of Biscay—it was that force which the bishop of St. Andero was marching against with the Asturian levies. Lassolles was at Valladolid; a French force was near Saragossa; another occupied Barcelona. Murat's division was at or near Madrid.
July 29.
Bonaparte has issued another decree at Bayonne, which was received in Holland on the 27th ult. directing that all American property seized under the decree of the 21st November, should be immediately sold, and the proceeds paid into the Chisse d'escomptes, there to remain until the final issue of the pending negotiation between France and America.
HARTFORD, September 28.
CONNECTICUT ELECTIONS.
On Monday the 19th inst. the free men of Connecticut met in their respective towns for the purpose of choosing their Representative in the National and State Legislature and of making out a nomination from which in April next, are to be chosen, the Assistants or Counsellors for the next year. The present delegates in Congress, viz. Champion, Dana, Davenport, Mosely, Fitch, Sturges and Talmadge, are all re-chosen without opposition, as the nomination from which they were selected, consisted entirely of federalists. The federal ticket for nomination of assistants has wholly prevailed, with an increased majority. In the House of Representatives consisting of 193 members, there will be 149 Federalists and 50 democrats. Such a federal majority has not been in six years.
In views of this election we cannot omit to express our sincere joy. To our friends in this and the other states of the Union, this intelligence will doubtless be pleasing, tho' from the uniform adherence of the state of Connecticut to correct principles, and their decided opposition to imposture, it was not unexpected.
Connecticut, always faithful to the true interests of her country, has, in the worst of times, successfully resisted democracy—she has stood firm while other states have fallen around her, against faction and intrigue within, and the most unprovoked assaults from without. For eight long years she has witnessed the most insolent and profligate attempts to crush and destroy her best citizens, and to elevate her worst. The miserable hirelings of exorbitant taxation, without property, talents, or character, have strutted about with an importance which vice and infamy always obtain when the wicked bear rule—they have industriously laboured by fraud to cajole, by terror to dismay, by force to subdue, and by bribery to corrupt, the good people of Connecticut. Their efforts have proved abortive—they begin to feel their own degradation, and to know themselves what others have always known, that the triumph of the wicked is short.
We again congratulate the county of Litchfield on a display of pure unmixed federalism. That large and respectable county, composed of substantial freeholders, has not chosen a single democratic member to the Assembly, nor had the democratic ticket for nomination, a majority in any one town. To such men we must look, and on them depend, if we would maintain a republican government.

NEW-YORK, October 1.
Latest Foreign News.
The arrival at this port last evening of the brig Minerva, Noble, from Liverpool, has put the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser in possession of the London Traveller of August 5th, one day later than our previous advices. Like the paper which preceded it, it is occupied with the affairs of Spain; and our present selections, like the former, are therefore necessarily confined to that subject almost exclusively.
LONDON, August 5.
The principal intelligence we have this day to communicate, respecting the state of affairs in Spain, consists of extracts from the Corunna Diary, a journal received to the 31st ultimo, with some additional particulars contained in private letters which reach to the same date.
We confess our inability to account for the conduct of general Cuesta in his quick and even precipitate retreat after the battle of the 14th ult. It would seem that he must have been very warmly pressed and overpowered by a very superior force to justify his leaving the mass of his infantry to disperse, and to trust to themselves for safety, rather than continue with them and support them with his cavalry and artillery. There are accounts which represent Cuesta's conduct as regulated by the best motives of prudence, and as by no means calculated to damp the prospect of final success. It may be deemed consistent with the precautions which the supreme junta so wisely framed, that a general engagement should be avoided as much as possible. The Spaniards never considered the affair at the Rio del Seco a defeat, though it was immediately followed by a retreat to Benevento. The following letter shows the light in which they viewed that event:
ASTORGA, July 19.
"The battle of the 14th was as glorious for our army as that of Eras was for the Aragonese, and as the conflict in the neighborhood of Cordova was for the Andalusians. With an inferior force, and notwithstanding the advantage the enemy possessed in his numerous and excellent cavalry, he was so worsted and his troops so dispersed, that it was with difficulty he could reassemble them. He lost from 6 to 7000 men, and the horses of which the French had robbed the stables of the palace, those of Godos, and of other inhabitants of Spain, were killed in great numbers. The newly raised conscripts, it is true, were distrusted by some persons, but that did not influence the retreat of our army so much as to spare the blood of our valiant veterans. Our ablest general well knew that the total destruction of the French army would have cost much blood, from the destruction which the French cavalry would make; and therefore it was determined to defer giving them a decisive battle, and because we have the power of depriving them of their superiority in this respect. Our loss has been small, and of little consideration, compared to that of the enemy, and numbers of our men, whom we supposed to have been killed or taken prisoners, are continually coming in. Our whole troops desire anxiously to fight against the French, and we trust that our generals will not long delay giving them that satisfaction."
A letter from Corunna says, that if Cuesta had, in the battle of the 14th, brought forward his cavalry, when repeatedly called on to do so, in the same manner that the brave general Blake did, the victory of the patriots would have been certain. The insinuation against Cuesta is inserted in a Corunna paper of the 28th; and that they all speak of Blake in terms of the highest applause. In the same paper it appears, that an attempt has been made by Bessieres to tamper with general Blake, after the manner which has been so frequently successful with the French generals. In this instance it has happily failed. General Blake's answer was published. He says, that nothing shall detach him from the service of his lawful sovereign, Ferdinand the VII. or, failing him, of the next in blood of the Bourbon race; and failing them all, that he shall hold himself bound to serve such monarch only as shall be freely chosen by a legitimate Cortez duly elected, representing the Spanish people.
Whatever may have been the motives by which Cuesta was influenced, it is impossible to contemplate the consequences that may result from this extraordinary step, without some alarm. Marshal Bessieres is stated to have marched to Zamora, a town upon the Douro, near the confines of Portugal, and it is not improbable, that he is now hastening to the relief of Junot. The French are aware of the desperate situation of Junot, and it is not improbable that some desperate effort may be made to extricate him.
We find from the Corunna Gazette, that marshal Bessieres marched out of Benevento on the evening of the 20th, with 10 to 12,000 men. The route he took is not mentioned; but arduous as the undertaking may appear, it is, however, possible that he may have directed his march towards Portugal, from the frontier of which he was not quite 100 miles distant. He would naturally calculate on meeting no other opposition in that country, than what might be expected from the disarmed and panic struck inhabitants. The fate of Portugal, therefore, for the present, depends on the celerity and decisive nature of sir A. Wellesley's movements and operations. If he forces Junot to a speedy capitulation, he will find little difficulty afterwards in overwhelming Bessieres corps, should he be fortunate enough to fall in with it. Should it, however, contrary to all rational supposition, effect a junction with the French troops at Lisbon, this united force would, we fear, prove too strong for the British expedition, even with any assistance it might derive from the Portuguese. The detachments from the marines of sir C. Cotton's squadron, which landed at Figueira, amounted to upwards of 1000 men. Sir A. Wellesley would, therefore, find himself at the head of nearly 12,000 of as well appointed troops as ever left this country.
A letter from very good authority at Corunna, dated the 31st ult. confirms the reports we have received as to the victories of the patriots in Valencia, Murcia and Saragossa, at least so far as a repetition of those reports can be called a confirmation. This letter also adds, that an insurrection had taken place in Madrid on the 23d ultimo. This insurrection, which is said to be the result of an understanding with some part of the patriot force that was expected to arrive at Madrid in the course of that evening, must have been of a very hardy character, as Joseph Bonaparte with a considerable force, is known to have reached that city on the 20th. The result of the insurrection is not stated, but there is too much reason to fear that it cannot have been favorable to the patriots.
The latest advices from Lisbon represent the situation of the inhabitants as truly deplorable. They are exposed to the daily vengeance of a suspicious and inexorable police. The discovery of any communication with the patriots, among whom are included all who reside beyond the range of the posts of Junot's army, is sufficient to bring on the parties concerned in it the punishment of death. Such, a few days ago, was the fate of M. Da Horta Machado, a man of most respectable character, who formerly was minister from the Portuguese government to the court of St. Petersburg. The greatest efforts were making by Junot to encrase his stock of provisions. With this view the inhabitants were exposed to continual domiciliary visits, and strong detachments were sent out in every direction, in search of every article of the kind. Yesterday a cabinet council was held at the foreign office. The following members assisted—earl Camden, the duke of Portland, Mr. Canning, lords Hawkesbury and Castlereagh, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, lord Mulgrave, earl Chatham and earl Bathurst; their deliberation continued from one to four o'clock.
It is reported that sir Robert Wilson is shortly to go out on a mission to Spain or Portugal.
It was yesterday reported, that the duke of York, in deference to public opinion, has waved his pretensions to the command of the army destined to assist the Spaniards & Portuguese against France.
Mr. Duff sailed on Wednesday from Portsmouth, for Cadiz, in the Minorca sloop of war, accompanied by the Champion frigate, with 100,000 dollars on board for the support of the Spanish cause.
Yesterday the late Spanish ambassador to the U.S. arrived at Mrs. Price's, in Leicester square.
The following is an extract of a letter from an officer of rank in the British forces landed at Figueira, in Portugal, dated the 19th of July: "Here I am, landed with a battalion of royal marines. The French are, I understand, advancing to attack the city of Coimbra, about 21 miles from this place. They have only 4000 men, and the Portuguese who defend it are nearly 18,000, of all sorts, regulars and irregulars. Coimbra is an amazing strong and well fortified city, so situated, that cannon can scarcely be brought to act against it with any prospect of success. We are ready to assist the Portuguese, if wanted, but they appear in high spirits. You shall hear how things go on by the next conveyance for England."

VALDEVIEGAS, July 22.
Our head quarters are at Manzanal, and the advanced guard has arrived at Astorga, where it remains completely on the alert.
Seignor Cuesta has suddenly evacuated Benevento, and marched for Leon. In consequence of dispatches taken by a serjeant of the regiment of Saragossa, from a French Aid-de-Camp, whom he apprehended in the disguise of a Spanish postillion, and which dispatches were transmitted to Seignor Cuesta, who received them at ten o'clock at night; he dismissed the peasantry belonging to his army, ordered the cavalry to mount, and with them and the flying artillery, he marched off suddenly at 12 at night, "Let those who are able and willing follow me." This precipitate departure has given rise to various speculations. There are some who from the intelligence received yesterday, predict some heroic achievement as the issue of the plan which he had so suddenly adopted.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4.
On Sunday the President of the United States arrived at Washington, from Monticello.
Mr. Madison, Secretary of State, Mr. Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. Smith, Secretary of the Navy, arrived the same evening.
Mr. John Campbell, Indian agent for the Upper Mississippi, was killed in a duel by Mr. Redford Crawford, a British agent, on the 13th August, in that territory. It appears that at dinner, Mr. Campbell stated some alteration he intended to make in the management of his agency, so as to prevent a repetition of the injuries the United States had sustained from the British Company. Crawford applied these remarks to himself—a challenge was sent and accepted—the parties met, and Mr. Campbell was mortally wounded. In him the United States have lost an enterprising, active and useful officer.
