TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expences of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States; and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO,
A LOT of GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 230 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, on the George Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE of GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO,
My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows. A large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO,
The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.
Since publishing the brief notice of this important event, which we gave yesterday morning in a postscript to the Mercantile Advertiser , we have received a Supplement to the Trinidad Gazette , containing the following official details, which we lay before our readers to the exclusion of almost every other article of intelligence.
PORT SPAIN, 27th June.
We hasten to perform the promise inserted in our ordinary of Saturday last, by laying before our readers the most extraordinary intelligence that has ever been produced by political events, to astonish the universe.
One of the first empires on the globe, extending over both hemispheres, its dominion, on which the sun never sets—this colossal power, this transcendent throne and its immense treasures, all is abandoned! all is resigned by the monarch—and to whom! to a foreigner! to a foreigner who has deceived him—subjugated him—disgraced him, and whom he does not blush to call his friend, his loyal and faithful ally!
Read! mark! learn! O beloved Britons, and let the base partisans of the tyrant now apologize for him, if they can.
MADRID GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.
Saturday, April 9, 1808.
His excellency Don Sebastian Pinuela has communicated, under yesterday's date, the following royal order to his excellency the president of the council.
Our lord the king has just received credible intelligence of his intimate friend and august ally the emperor of the French, king of Italy, being already at Bayonne, for a purpose the most agreeable, valuable, and flattering to his majesty, namely, that of entering these kingdoms, with views in which his majesty perfectly concurs, and of known utility and advantage to his beloved subjects. And it becoming the most intimate friendship, happily subsisting between the two crowns, and the most high character of his imperial and royal majesty, that his majesty should go to meet and compliment him, and to give him the most sincere, positive and constant proof of his intention and resolution to keep up, renew, and draw closer the good intelligence, intimate friendship, and advantageous alliance which have happily prevailed, and should prevail, between these two monarchs—his majesty has resolved speedily to set out for the purpose of effecting it. And, as this absence is to last but a few days, he expects, from the loyalty and love of his beloved subjects, and particularly of the inhabitants of the capital, who have so repeatedly evinced their being animated by those sentiments, that they will keep quiet, trusty and fully confiding in the notorious zeal, activity and justice of his ministers and tribunals, upon whom his majesty has laid the strictest injunctions to that end, and principally in the newly created board of government, over which his most serene highness the infant Don Antonio is to preside; and that they will maintain, as they are bound to do, the peace and harmony which have hitherto subsisted between them and the troops of his imperial and royal majesty, punctually supplying them with whatever they may want for their necessary subsistence until they proceed to the points where they intend to go, for the advantage of both nations: his majesty giving the most positive assurances, that there is no apprehension whatever of the said tranquility, good intelligence and advantageous alliance being disturbed or altered; instead of which his majesty is fully convinced, that it will grow more and more solid every day.

GIBRALTAR, April 23, 1808.
We have been favored with the following translation of a letter from the count of Espeleta, captain general of Catalonia, to his excellency general of division Duheme, commanding in chief, the army of observation of the Eastern Pyrenees:
Barcelona, 18th March, 1808.
SIR, The troops in the citadel, and forts of Monjuí, may consider the whole of this city as magazines, and all its provisions as theirs. They have no enemy to fear, nor any thing to expect, except in so far as having a common interest with the town and Spanish inhabitants. Your excellency occupied these fortresses, in the name of the emperor and king, as an ally; and as such, the Spanish government consented to the occupation of them by your troops, with the greatest good faith and confidence. With the same sentiments, it has opened to you and the army under your command, its treasures, its resources, and the bosoms of its families, in order to afford you a hospitable reception, and to share with you the food destined for its own use.
Military laws prescribe the mode of supplying garrisons, when it happens that they are either engaged in hostile operations, or are besieged, or when a scarcity in the country is threatened, which obliges the general commanding to take precautions for the subsistence of his troops, by establishing depots. But, exclusive of these circumstances, this measure only serves to create suspicion and distrust. Neither my conduct, nor the constant moderation of my troops, nor the favorable reception the French army have met with, ought to excite alarm.
The town is provided with supplies of every description, as you will perceive from the annexed statement of the intendant; and, even although there should be some deficiency, your excellency gives us the strongest assurance, that provisions are collecting at the ports of France, which are to be sent to this country, free of duty.
His majesty the emperor and king, whose worthy name has inspired us with confidence, while his troops occupy our forts, being truly informed of our docility and honorable principles, will not be well pleased when he hears, that you alarm this city with terrible forebodings, as a recompense for its constant submissive conduct.
Your excellency will be pleased to request the opinion of his imperial majesty respecting your determination before you carry it into effect, and to accompany your request with this explanation of mine, as I shall lay the business before the king my master, without whose orders I cannot give to your excellency what the forts in possession of the Spanish troops have not.
If, before you receive the resolution of the emperor, your excellency should find grounds for living with precaution, and under the influence of fear, in the forts which at present are to be considered as forming part of the town, then the measure you propose might be resorted to with propriety. But, in the mean time, when no such necessity exists, I wish to impress on your mind, that it will serve no good purpose to supply the forts with stores of provisions; that such an intention is pointed and offensive; and that it will not be in the power of your excellency, or myself, to remedy the consequence of the sensation which such a measure may excite among the inhabitants.
Your excellency will be pleased, to accept of my most high consideration. May God preserve you many years.
THE COUNT OF ESPELETA.
MADRID GAZETTE, May 13, 1808.
Circular Address of the Council of Castile. MOST FAITHFUL SPANIARDS!
You have, for twenty years together, obeyed, with unexceptionable loyalty, the august monarch of Spain, ever treading in the steps of your forefathers; you have made suitable returns to his paternal love, and shared the just concern which the council expressed to his majesty respecting his abdication, on the day following that on which it took place. If we published his successor's accession to the throne, it was merely to comply with his supreme commands. We would have long continued submissive and faithful to his majesty, if we had understood, that his abdication and resignation of the crown was not accompanied with the requisite spontaneous freedom.
Ever since Charles IV. made it known that his abdication had been forced from him, and that he deemed himself fully entitled to resume the crown, the board of government, the council of Castile, and the whole nation, have been anxiously waiting for the decision of a question of such high importance; and the council have examined with the greatest attention, the documents upon which the powerful umpire who has been appointed for that purpose, has grounded his determination. The most important of these are subjoined here; and in the opinion formed by the council, they have the certainty, that they have not deviated from that which the august party himself would have adopted, if less complicated circumstances had not opposed that concert. It is undoubtedly unfortunate, that the union of the fathers of this people has not yet taken place; but this misfortune will prove less distressing to their beneficent hearts, as the result of the late events holds out flattering hopes for the future, and the nation will shortly be enabled to proceed, with steady steps in the career of her happiness and prosperity.
Those hopes begin to be realized, since the king has appointed, to supply his place in the government of these kingdoms, a prince who, without any other interest than that of Spain, already evinced by his beneficent and unremitting exertions at the head of his army, devotes himself with eagerness and the most suitable means, to whatever is conducive to her glory and felicity.
The board of government which shares all the sentiments of the council, have viewed the crisis of the preceding events in the
same light, and considers the determination adopted by the wisdom of the tribunal, and to which it subscribes without restriction, as the fulfilment of the irrevocable decrees of Providence, which never forsakes a religious people, attached to their sovereign and to the laws by which they are governed.
The principal documents quoted, and which the council had taken into consideration at the meeting held on the 6th instant in the presence of their excellencies marquis Caballero, don Geo. Giland Gonzalo O'Farrel, members of the board of government, are the following ones:
PROTEST OF CHARLES IV.
"Dearest Brother,
"ON the 19th of last month, I put into the hands of my son a decree of abdication. On the very same day I entered a solemn protest against the decree which had been issued in the midst of wild commotions, and forced from me by the critical circumstances of that period. Now that tranquility is restored; that my protest is in the hands of my august friend and faithful ally the emperor of the French and king of Italy, and it is notorious, that my son could not induce his imperial and royal majesty to acknowledge him in that capacity. I solemnly declare that the deed of abdication, which I subscribed on the 19th of last month is null and void in all its parts; and, therefore, it is my will that you should make it known to all my subjects that their good king who loves them, wishes to dedicate the remainder of his life to unremitting exertions for their happiness. I provisionally confirm in their situations the members of the present board of government, and all the civil and military officers who have been appointed ever since the 19th March last. I intend to go and meet my august ally, the emperor of the French, king of Italy; after which I will send further orders to the board.
I THE KING.
San Lorenzo, April 17, 1808.
To the supreme board of government."
Letter of his majesty the emperor of France to his royal highness the prince of Asturias.
"BROTHER,
"I HAVE received your royal highness's letter. The inspection of your royal father's papers, must already have convinced you of the affection I ever bore him: under the present circumstances, you will allow me to speak to your highness with frankness and candor. I entertained a hope that, upon my arrival at Madrid, I might persuade my illustrious friend to make some necessary reforms in his dominions, and in some degree to gratify the public opinion. The Prince of Peace's dismissal appeared to me requisite for his happiness and that of his people. The events in the north have retarded my journey. In the mean time the occurrences at Aranjuez have taken place. I do not set up for a judge of what has happened, nor of the conduct of the Prince of Peace; but, what I know is, that kings should never ensure their subjects to shed blood, in doing themselves justice. I pray to God that your royal highness may never experience it. It would not suit the interests of Spain that a prince who has married a princess of the royal family, and who has so long governed the kingdom should be persecuted. He has no friends left; nor would your royal highness have any, if you should one day be unfortunate. The people gladly seize the opportunities of making themselves amends for the respect they shew us. You cannot try the Prince of Peace; his crimes, if he were charged with any, ought to be buried in the rights of the throne. I have often expressed my wish, that the prince of Peace might be dismissed: if I have not been more urgent, it has been owing to my friendship for king Charles, from whose partiality I chose to turn my eyes. Oh, wretched humanity! imbecility and error; such is our motto! All this, however, may be reconciled; let the Prince of Peace be banished from Spain, and proffer him an asylum in France.
With respect to the abdication of Charles IV. it has taken place at a time when my armies occupied Spain; and Europe and posterity might believe that I have sent so many troops for the sole purpose of driving my friend and ally from the throne.
As a neighboring sovereign, I am bound to enquire into what has taken place, previous to my acknowledging this abdication. I therefore wish to converse with your royal highness upon the subject. The caution with which I have hitherto proceeded in these affairs, ought to convince you of the support you will find in me, if factions, of any description, ever disturb your reign. When king Charles informed me of the events of October last, I was greatly concerned at them, and I flatter myself that I have contributed, by my suggestions, to their happy issue.—Your royal high-
ness should dread the consequence of popular commotion; some of my scattered soldiers may be assassinated, but such excess could only bring ruin upon Spain. Your royal highness knows all the recesses of my heart; you may see that I am agitated by various ideas which want to be fixed. You may be certain that, at all events, I will deal with you as I have done with your royal father: rely upon my wish to reconcile every thing, and to find opportunities to give you proofs of my affection and his regard. And so, I pray God may keep you, brother, under his holy and worthy protection.
(Signed)
NAPOLEON.
The royal council has subsequently received, under date of the 7th and 8th, the following royal address, letter, royal decree, and order:
ROYAL ADDRESS.
"Spaniards and beloved subjects,
"Perfidious men are endeavoring to bring ruin upon you, and would fain supply you with arms, that you might turn them against the French troops, anxious reciprocally to stir you up against them, and them against you. What would be the result of such sinister intentions? No other, without doubt, than the devastation of Spain, and calamities of every description. The factious minds, from which I had so much to be afraid, are as yet in agitation; and, under circumstances equally important and critical, I am concerting matters with my ally, the emperor of the French, concerning whatever is connected with your happiness. But be not so as to listen to his enemies; they who operate you against him, thirst for your blood, and are either the enemies of our nation, or the agents of England. If you hearken to them, you will occasion the loss of your colonies, the division of your provinces, and a long series of disturbances and evils to your country.
"Spaniards,
"Trust my experience, and submit to the authority which I hold from the Almighty and from my ancestors. Follow my example, and believe that the friendship of the emperor of the French, our ally, can alone save Spain and make her happy.

Letters inclosing the royal decree to his imperial and royal highness (Murat).
BROTHER,
My absence and infirmities not allowing me wholly to dedicate myself to the unmitigated exertions required for the government of my states, the tranquility of my kingdom and the preservation of my crown, it has struck me, that I could do nothing better than to appoint a Locum tenens , who, invested with the supreme authority which I hold from God and my ancestors, should govern and rule, for me and in my name, over the provinces of Spain.
In consequence whereof, and having previously consulted the welfare of my people and my wish to rescue the monarchy from the precipice into which the malevolent, the enemies of the peace of the continent were on the eve of plunging her; duly appreciating, on the other hand, the eminent virtues of which your imperial and royal highness has given us so many proofs, and the great services you have done us; I have resolved, with the consent and approbation of my faithful and great ally the emperor king, upon appointing your imperial and royal highness my lieutenant general, by decree which I have just issued to the board of government, and which is here annexed, entreating you, prince, to transmit it to them, and to accept of this appointment, which will restore peace to my mind. And so I pray God may keep you, brother, under his holy and worthy protection.

CHARLES.
Bayonne, May 4, 1808.
Appointment of the Grand Duke of Berg, the high dignity of lieutenant general of the kingdom.
To the Supreme board of Government.
Having deemed it proper to give the same direction to all the forces of my kingdom, with a view to the security of the proper individuals, and to the maintenance of tranquility against both internal and external foes, I have thought it my duty, in order to attain that object to appoint lieutenant general of the kingdom, our beloved brother the Grand Duke of Berg, who, at the same time, commands the troops of our ally, the emperor of the French.
And therefore, we command our supreme council of Castile, and other councils, chanceries, audiences and justices of the kingdom, the captains general, and governors of our provinces and places, to bear faithful obedience, execute and enforce the execution of his orders and dispositions, such

ing our will, as likewise that, as lieutenant general of the kingdom, he shall preside over the board of government. Let it be so understood for the due fulfilment of my present supreme determination.  (Signed) I, THE KING. Bayonne, imperial palace of government, May 4, 1808.  Order accompanying the Royal Decree and Address.
Most Illustrious Sir—The grand duke of Berg has directed me to transmit to the council, as I hereby do, the annexed royal decree of our lord king Charles IV. issued at Bayonne, in the palace of government, and by which his majesty has been pleased to appoint lieutenant general of the kingdom, his imperial and royal highness the above named grand duke of Berg; that the same may be so understood by the council, and by them carried into execution, and circulated with all possible speed for the corresponding purposes.
His excellency Don Sebastian Pinuella communicated on the 10th of May, to D. Aris Mon, senior member of the council and chamber, the royal order and inclosures, of which the following are copies.  "Most Illustrious Sir—I send you by his imperial and royal highness the grand duke of Berg, lieutenant general of the kingdom, the annexed decree of Ferdinand VI. addressed to the supreme board of government, and inclosing a letter which he wrote to his august father, resigning the crown in his favor; and the revocation of the powers given to the said board of government, most particularly charging the latter to submit to his said august father.
I likewise inclose you the letter which the same Ferdinand VI. wrote to his imperial and royal majesty the emperor of the French upon the same subject; that the whole may be immediately published, printed and circulated by the council."  "I have, this day, delivered to my father a letter worded thus:—Sire, venerated father and sir, in order to give your majesty a proof of my love, obedience and submission, and to comply with the wishes which your majesty has repeatedly expressed to me, I resign my crown in favor of your majesty, wishing that your majesty may enjoy it for a long series of years. I recommend to your majesty the persons who have served me ever since the 19th of March, fully relying upon the assurances which your majesty has given me on this head. May God, &c. &c. Your majesty's most humble son.  Signed, FERDINAND. Bayonne, May 7, 1808.
In consequence of this resignation of the crown in favor of my august father I revoke all the powers with which I had invested the board of government, previous to my departure from Madrid, for the dispatch of urgent and important business that might occur during my absence. The board shall obey the orders and commands of our beloved father and sovereign, and shall enforce their execution throughout the kingdom. Before I conclude, I have to return thanks to the members of the board, to the constituted authorities, and to the whole nation, for their services to me; and to charge them most heartily to unite with my beloved father, king Charles, and with the emperor Napoleon, whose power and friendship can more than any thing else, secure to Spain her most valuable blessing, namely, her independence and the integrity of her territory. I charge you not to suffer yourselves to be seduced by the artifices of your eternal enemies; to live together in perfect harmony, and to keep up a good understanding with our allies; and lastly, to avoid the effusion of blood, and the misfortunes which would otherwise result from the present circumstance, if you should allow yourselves to be led away by the spirit of delusion and discord. Let it be so understood by the board, &c. &c.  (Signed) FERDINAND. Bayonne, May 6, 1808.
"Sir and Brother,"  "I have the honor of sending to your imperial and royal majesty a copy of the letter which I intend to deliver to my august father, in which abdicate the crown of Spain in favor of his majesty, in compliance with the wish which he, this day, expressed to me in the presence of your imperial and royal majesty.  I entreat your imperial and royal majesty to take under your protection my person, and that of my brother the infant don Carlos, and to guarantee the persons and properties of my followers.  In this confidence I beg your imperial and royal majesty will accept of the assurances of the high consideration, &c. &c.  Signed, FERDINAND. Bayonne, 5th May, 1808.
The whole having been published in the council, it has been resolved that it should be carried into execution, and communicated to the captains general, &c.  (Signed) BARTOLEME MEOS. Madrid, May 10, 1808.  In consequence of the royal decree appointing the grand duke of Berg, lieutenant general of the kingdom, and his imperial and royal highness having confirmed the members of all the tribunals in their respective places, the council has issued, under the same date, a royal decree enjoining the impartial and speedy administration of justice, and directing stamp paper to bear the words, Government of the lieutenant general of the kingdom.
Alexandria Daily Gazette. WEDNESDAY, JULY 27.
MR. SNOWDEN.  THE trial of a case in court a few days ago has given rise to a report calculated to injure my character. The report is, that for money which I justly owed I went into court and plead usury in bar of the claim. Had this been the case I should consider myself entitled to the execrations of all honest men. I conceive that a man's own voluntary engagements constitutes a law of such binding force that nothing except absolute inability can dispense him from a compliance with, and that the person who enters into a solemn contract to pay money and afterwards takes shelter under municipal or civil institutions renders himself unworthy of all trust. By these principles I am willing that my conduct in this and every other transaction of my life should be tested, nor shall the world ever have occasion to charge me with a dereliction of them.  But as I believe the best refutation of the report in question will be a statement of facts as they were exhibited in court, I will do it as concisely as I can.  This suit was brought by a Nicholas Harper against Alexander Smith, as security on a bond of James and Daniel Douglass. Mr. Smith availed himself of the plea of usury and brought me into court as a witness, in consequence of which the plea was sustained and Mr. Harper cast in the suit.  But something is said about a receipt, as if I had taken an advantage of Mr. Harper and obtained from him a receipt which I ought not to have had. I can only say that I took no receipt from Mr. Harper which he was not willing to give—a receipt that stated the truth of the case, and such an one as I was entitled to—That it was made use of to prove the usury was no fault of mine.  JAMES DOUGLASS. July 27, 1808.
Three ships and two brigs from Jamaica, among the latest arrivals at New York, had full cargoes of rum, near two thousand puncheons. They sailed in company with the British convoy. Flour at Jamaica by the cargo, 16 to 18 dolls. a barrel; and the island as well supplied with beef, pork, and other American produce as before the embargo. Indeed so constant are the evasions, that our embargo system is of singular benefit to the subjects of G. Britain.
COMMUNICATION.  The infatuated rulers of these States needed not the destruction of the Spanish government, and subjugation of that unhappy country, to convince them of the inevitable tendency of their deleterious measures to bring us into the same dreadful dilemma. They have seen nation after nation falling a prey, first to the intrigues, and then to the arms of the modern Attila. Among the most distinguished of the tools of France stands the Prince of Peace.—This wretch, after having exhausted his own country by a continued system of servile compliance and boundless rapacity for thirteen years, to further the gigantic views of Bonaparte towards universal dominion, has at length met the fate he so justly merited. May his doom be a warning to all who would lend themselves to sell their country to the world's only foe! But, while we exult in his downfall, we cannot but mourn over the desolation which his infamous conduct has brought on one of the finest kingdoms of Europe. Unhappy Spain, once the most powerful and flourishing nation in the world, now, by the systematic treachery of some of their own profligate children, becomes a mere province of France. Thy deluded monarch, and all his family, the sport for many years of a deceiver's wiles, are now prisoners in France, and made, while in this state of "durancy vile," to assign over, by a formal instrument, all thy fair and rich possessions, together with their loyal, but betrayed inhabitants.
The designs of Napoleon against Spain are of long standing. Nearly two years ago he caused the flower of the Spanish troops to be marched to the north of Europe under the insidious pretext of assisting to subdue the common enemies of both countries. Seventy-four thousand brave Spaniards are now in Germany, Prussia, &c. and in Hannover alone there are 27,000. How must the hearts of those deceived men burn with impatience, to be at home in the present eventful crisis, to assist their countrymen in throwing off the galling yoke of French thralldom! Ever since the fatal year (1795) when, through the diabolical influence of the Prince of Peace, Charles the Fourth deserted his allies, and made a treaty offensive and defensive with the murderers of his royal and virtuous kinsman Louis the 16th, has Spain been harassed, degraded, contributionized and drained of almost her last shilling, to aid the ambitious views of the different rulers of France in their schemes of universal domination. But the night of delusion and patient degrading submission is past; the day of national independence is at hand. Goaded almost to desperation, by a series of the most unheard of exactions, cruelties and oppressions, the dreadful vengeance of the whole Spanish nation seems at length to be aroused, and if they are so fortunate as to have high-minded and able leaders to concentrate and direct their terrible energies, every Frenchman will be driven out of Spain or exterminated. Her glorious and heroic example will no doubt be speedily followed by the other nations of Europe, who are now groaning under the most heart-breaking and grievous vassalage.  Thus, there are yet hopes that the colossal power of the Corsican, may, by the simultaneous and vigorous movement of all the subjugated and oppressed states of Europe be crumbled to atoms, and every prostrate nation resume its former state of independence and happiness. The restoration of the balance of power (that vital source of the existence of nations) ought, for the United States in particular to be a day of rejoicing and jubilee; but, as our philosophic administration have for dark and mysterious purposes completely inverted the order of that true and sound policy which has governed profound statesmen in all ages and nations of the world, it is to be presumed they will not exult at an event which will fill the minds of the honest and discerning part of their fellow-citizens with the most enthusiastic delight. Nay, so perverse do our rulers seem to be, that, instigated by some "unseen hand" and to promote some inexplicable and hidden purposes they appear determined not to settle our differences with England; on the contrary, they are panting to plunge us into a war with that nation, & thus assist us in removing the only mound which stand between us and the mighty conqueror, who, when the British navy is removed, will swarm our country with his hungry myriads. Those plundering hordes having exhausted Europe of pillage will be sent abroad to satiate at once their thirst for conquest, blood and spoils. Let it not be said that we are at too great a distance, for we may rest assured that it is much easier to send troops and artillery across the sea (the British navy out of the way) than to transport them one thousand miles by land on the continent of Europe.

FOR SALE, MY SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Ma- chodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court-house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattox Bridge. The situation is healthy, af- fords fine water, embraces the great advan- tages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, na- vigation, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys re- spectable neighbors and general society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the ben- efit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improve- ment done, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies in, generally, possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for build- ing and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses. The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an over- seer, and customary houses of other descrip- tions—to which are annexed a well laid off productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.

Among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last.
