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

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

FROM THE SPIRIT OF '76.
TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.
WE, the undersigned Members of the Monroe Corresponding Committee, take leave once more to address you:
It is well known to you that we were appointed by that portion of the legislative body, which convened at the capitol on the 22d day of February last, to make the arrangements proper and necessary to ensure the success of the Monroe electoral ticket.
Finding that there was a difference of opinion on the subject of the election, not only in this state, but in the U. States generally, we conceived, that when we were about to announce our ticket, we might take the liberty of submitting to the public judgment, a few arguments, which seemed to us entitled to great consideration and influence. We thought, that in a free country, on a subject so interesting, and at a period so critical, honest men might publish their real opinions to the world, without fear of insult or proscription. We did publish our real, our honest, our independent opinions, and we expressed them in terms to which we were well assured no exception ought to be taken. We did nothing more than exercise our indisputable right: a right without which free government cannot exist: and we think that the manner in which it was exercised, was perfectly compatible with the respect due to the public, to our opponents, and to the candidate in whose behalf they are so much excited. For this conduct on our part, fellow-citizens, for this exertion of an essential and indisputable right, for this performance of an important duty, for this avowal of our real opinions, in support of a man, so long and so well known to you all, we have been, with that intemperance, charged not only with a breach of an American from the republican principles to which we are most sincerely attached, but with entertaining views hostile to the honor and interests of the American people.
In reply to this last charge, we will not enter into any explanation. We disdain to do so. We know that our motives are pure: and we affirm that our solicitude for the honor and welfare of the U. States is as ardent and sincere, though perhaps not so enlightened, as that of the President himself, or either of the patriotic men who have been named as his successors. On this subject we are perfectly at ease.
But the foundation of this charge, is the wish which we avow to see Mr. Monroe President of the U. States. We acknowledge again, before the nation, that the election of James Monroe, to the presidential office, is in our opinion, a matter of the highest moment to the prosperity of this country. You all see and feel the difficulties in which we are involved. Our trade is at an end, and our people prohibited from carrying the produce of their land and labor, on the great highway of the nations of the earth. We say nothing of the causes which led to the present state of things. We enquire not whether it might have been prevented; nor will we undertake to say what course ought to have been pursued. This enquiry would be unavailing now—we confine our remarks to the actual condition of our country. It is known to you all, that Mr. Madison stands fixed and committed on every question involved in our foreign relations, and we therefore ask you, whether you can think that his administration holds out to us that hope of relief, which may be anticipated from the known opinions, conduct and character of Mr. Monroe?
It is very possible, that on the subject of this election we may be in a minority; but at this moment, no man can say with confidence, what the issue will be. A great change has taken place in the public opinion within a short time past, and we have good reason to believe that Mr. Monroe's interest is rapidly increasing in the other states as well as in Virginia. We therefore call on his friends to be firm and active, and not to suffer themselves to be intimidated by denunciations, from any quarter whatever, from delivering their opinions and exercising the unquestionable rights of free and independent citizens. The delusion produced by the caucus at Washington is now nearly at an
end, and every man, who will open his eyes, may see, that the members composing it, did not invariably speak the sentiments of their constituents. But admit that we may be in a minority, we shall at least have the satisfaction of knowing that we have acted with firmness and independence, and that we have done our duty to our country and to ourselves.
Indulge us for a few moments longer. The friends of Mr. Monroe are charged with producing a schism among the republicans. We deny the accusation to be true. We do not hesitate to say that the friends of Mr. Madison, are alone responsible, because they adopted the measure from which it sprung. They withdrew from their political friends at the Capitol. They announced their intention to hold, and did hold a caucus, from which the friends of Mr. Monroe were excluded: they refused to engage in a fair and public investigation of the merits of the candidates; and they now denounce their opponents as schismatics because they have not tamely acquiesced in a decision in which they were not permitted to participate.
But this charge about a schism is a mere delusion, as it relates to the presidential election. The person chosen president must have a majority of the whole number of the electoral votes. He who has them will be elected, whether the remaining votes are given to one, or divided among many. If the objection be urged to our conduct as having a tendency to promote the election of a federal president, it is obviously fallacious; because the whole force of the republican interest is employed in support of the republican cause, though not in behalf of the same person. The only effect of the division, may be to throw the election into the hands of the states in Congress assembled. But if the objection be urged with a view to shew that our conduct in not acquiescing in the nomination at the Bell Tavern is improper, because it leads to schisms and divisions among the republicans, we must repeat that we disapprove the caucus there held, for the reason already given, and further urge that the objection goes to the subversion of the most precious of our rights, of that right without which the freedom of election is but an empty sound.
We have been charged also with forming a coalition with the federalists. We solemnly and upon our honor declare the accusation seriously believe it. There has not been, — is there now, any understanding, arrangement or compact between the federalists and the friends of Mr. Monroe.
The federalists perhaps mean to vote for him. They have a right to do so if they please. They are free citizens of the country and may exercise their rights as they think proper. Are we to abandon Mr. Monroe, because the federalists knowing that they cannot have a president of their own party prefer HIM? Would not such an abandonment be equally cruel and absurd; and if we really and conscientiously believe that Mr. Monroe ought to be president, is our regard for the welfare of our country, to give way to that illiberal jealousy, which tells us not to vote for the man of our choice because he has the suffrages of our political opponents?
In the conduct which we have observed in relation to the approaching election, we have done what we conceive to be our duty, and followed the dictates of our best judgment. We have done no more than to exercise our unquestionable rights, and we are confident that the conduct which we recommend is calculated to promote the real prosperity and happiness of this nation. We expect however, from past experience, that insult and abuse will be heaped upon us. All this we must bear. Conscious of the rectitude of our motives, and solemnly impressed with a belief, that the election of James Monroe, will be more conducive to the public welfare, than the election of any other citizen in nomination, we shall hear with perfect indifference the clamors which this address will not fail to excite. If the public voice shall decide against us, if the people shall proclaim Mr. Madison president, their "will be done." We shall acquiesce: but until the will of the nation is ascertained, by a formal declaration in the way prescribed by the constitution, we shall, without hesitation, adopt every fair and honorable means to ensure the election of Jas. Monroe.

OCTOBER 17, 1808.
The Members of the Monroe Committee, and the friends to colonel Monroe's election throughout the state, are called upon to officiate in their respective counties in writing and distributing a number of tickets, equal to the votes in each county. No alteration in the ticket will again take place under any circumstances whatever.

(VIA NEW-YORK.)
LONDON, Sept. 8.
It is a fact, that Junot was a Serjeant when Bonaparte first went to Toulon, and was appointed to go round the ramparts with him. Upon which occasion he shewed so much skill and spirit, that Bonaparte solicited and procured for him an epaulette, and has never deserted him since.
On the first ult. the Bishop of Oporto issued a proclamation, prohibiting the circulation of French money. British coin was previously ordered to be current, at the rate of 5, 750 rees in the guinea.
The following letter contains some interesting particulars of the recent victories in Portugal:—
Vimeira, August 22.
"Since I wrote to you a few days ago, we have had a most glorious memorable day for England. The French attacked us yesterday in our position, with their whole force, near 15,000 men. The attack was expected at day break, and would have been so, had they not been delayed by the roads. We had laid by our arms about 2 hours, after turning out before day break, as usual, when the 40th, [part of Gen. Ferguson's brigade] had their picquet driven in, and we beat to arms."
"Our noble Gen. (Ferguson) of whose gallantry and conduct it is almost impossible to give an idea, was soon on the mountain, our quarters being about half a mile off, in the small town of Vimeira. From thence we could perceive the enemy advancing to attack the centre of the army, and a strong column marching with cavalry and artillery to turn the hill on which our brigade was; but as they had a considerable round to make, we had full time to prepare."
"Sir A. Wellesley, who commanded (Gen. Burrard not being landed) ordered up several brigades, and made a most masterly disposition. The centre of the army, from which we were divided by a deep valley, was now attacked with great vigor; but the French received such a check, that we soon had the glory of seeing them staggered, and then relax in their attack. At this time general Ferguson's brigade, and that under general Spencer, who commanded this wing, were briskly attacked; general Ferguson, in about half an hour after the fire commenced, ordered his brigade to charge, leading himself, in a manner beyond all praise—it is enough to say, the commander in chief considers him as having most contributed to the completest victory that could be obtained without cavalry to follow it up."
"The French gave way, and were followed with three cheers by the whole brigade, a part rallied, but the 36th and 71st charged them with an irresistible impetuosity, led on by general Ferguson, and drove them from their guns, of which they took four, with as many tumbrils. The victory was now certain, though they again rallied once more, and were again dispersed by the 71st; our artillery completed the triumph of this glorious day. The fire for some time tremendous, and the field strewed with our brave fellows. In charging the guns, my horse a beautiful creature I had received but a few days before from Oporto, and which cost me 38 moidore, was shot in several places and fell dead. I got on another belonging to a dragoon, but so tired he could not move, and I had the cloak shot away from before me. I thought it high time to dismount, and joined the 36th, who were advancing, and with them I had the honor to remain during the rest of the action."
"The loss of the French was very great; upwards of 3000 killed and wounded left on the field, besides prisoners. Our army lost about 700, and a good many officers."
"The French army was commanded by Junot, La Borde, Loison, Chailot, and Brenier; the two latter were taken with a great many officers, and 13 pieces of cannon."
"We could adore Ferguson for his bravery, skill, and coolness, in a fire like hail about him. His orderly, a very fine fellow of the 20th dragoons, was shot close to him and I fear cannot live."
"My poor friend Stuart of the 9th, died two days after the battle at Molissa, universally lamented."
"I have not time to write any more particulars; I am very much fatigued, having been yesterday till past five P. M. collecting the wounded English and French, and
conducting them to a place of safety. I am very happy to tell you none of our staff were killed. I wish we had advanced to day; and followed up our victory, without giving the enemy time to rally from a check they are so little used to."
September 10. At length we have received intelligence from Spain and Portugal. A Gijon mail arrived this morning, with letters and papers to 2d inst. It was brought to Falmouth, with dispatches also for government, by the Abicore sloop, of 18 guns, captain Burn, after a passage of six days. A letter from Corunna, of the 31st ult. states that on the preceding evening a Portuguese yacht, arrived there from Figueira, with intelligence that Lisbon was again under the Portuguese sovereignty. This event is said to have been brought about in concert with the Russian squadron in the Tagus, which fired upon the city, and thus assisted the British troops, reinforced by the Swiss, who had deserted from the French army, to reduce that capital. This account appears in the Corunna article, but it will be observed that it rests upon the sole authority of the report of the Portuguese captain; and that part of it which states that the Russian fleet co-operated with the English in the reduction of the place, appears entitled to no credit. Supposing the Russian fleet to have capitulated to the English Admiral, we cannot conceive any condition possible by which the Russian Admiral could undertake to act such a part.
The accounts from Portugal contain no further intelligence of the operation of the British and French armies engaged in the battle of Vimeira; but we learn that Sir Harry Burrard's expedition, after having begun to land at Figuera on the 23d, received orders in the evening to re-embark, and to effect a landing at Casques, at the entrance of the bar of Lisbon, for which destination they sailed on the 24th. Dupont having pressed for the immediate embarkation of his troops, in conformity with the terms of capitulation, stipulating their return, by sea, to France, the Governor of Cadiz is stated to have answered, that the want of transports rendered it impossible, and, besides, that it was not likely the English would permit their passage, General Castanos not having undertaken positively to procure their consent, but merely to use all his influence with the English government for that purpose.
Another account, however, states, that Dupont had arrived at Santa Puerta Maria, on the 14th, for the purpose of embarking there, and that the French baggage having set out for the same destination, some of the plunder, consisting of church plate, fell out of the cases, the appearance of which so enraged the populace of Cadiz, they immediately stopped the waggons, and repossessed themselves of their own property. Dupont is said to have demanded restitution, but to have received no satisfaction.
The British government have, it is understood, determined, out of deference to the Spanish commander, not to interfere with the execution of the articles of capitulation. It is even said to have been farther agreed, that the part of Dupont's army which surrendered on the condition alluded to, shall be conveyed from Cadiz to Rochefort in British transports.
The French, it appears, had evacuated Burgos, but learning that General Blake was not nearer than Astorga, detached six thousand men to re-occupy it.
On the 27th ultimo, arrived at Gijon, under convoy of the Albion sloop of war, the brig Patty, having on board 5000 stand of arms, 700,000 cartridges, and 1,000,000 musket balls for the use of the patriots, and on the same day the Iris frigate, from off Bilboa, conveying a transport laden with stores, &c. intended to have been landed there, if the enemy had not been in possession of the city. Major Roche came in the Iris.
The 2500 Spaniards in the island of Zealand are not only doomed, we fear to remain there, but to suffer cruel usage. They are said to be now confined in prison, after an unsuccessful attempt to regain their freedom in which they were overpowered by the French, and their worthy allies the Danes. Several French officers are said to have fallen in the contest. Marshal Brune is dead. The escape of the king of Sweden from Stralsund is attributed by the emperor of France to his negligence, and this is the real cause of his enmity against the general altho' a collusion with the importers of English goods was his alleged crime. Every new account increases the probability of an engagement in the Baltic. The Russian fleet were seen on the 12th, steering north, and admirals Saumarez and Hood were said to be in pursuit of it.
A gentleman arrived in town yesterday who left Lisbon on the 14th ultimo, having escaped with considerable danger and diffi-

to sir C. Cotton's squadron. At that time the landing of the British army at Montevideo and its advance towards the capital, was known there. The intelligence, as far as it was expected, created the most universal satisfaction. Indeed, we understand it was so openly and unequivocally expressed by many of the principal inhabitants that they incurred some very severe reproaches from the French officers.
BY THE LAST MAIL. TRENTON, October 17. NEW JERSEY ELECTION.
Last Tuesday and Wednesday decided the political character of New Jersey for the ensuing year; and we are sorry that we are to state, that altho' we have somewhat altered our situation, democracy we apprehend still has the ascendancy. Upon Monmouth and Gloucester, we mainly depended to turn the scale in favor of Washington principles. In the former we have succeeded—in the latter we have failed. In Hunterdon we had little or no expectation of success; yet we have run the Federal ticket within 80 or 90 votes of the Democrats. Last year the democratic ticket in Hunterdon was elected by a majority of 100.
The general belief is, that there will be a majority of about 10 votes in favor of the federal interest in the next Legislature, leaving the Democrats a small majority in the Assembly. Upon Sussex we must now depend to turn the scale. Monmouth county has done well. The federalists had a democratic majority last year against them of near 400 votes. This they have overcome, and thrown in their whole ticket, with a majority for the Legislature, rising 100, and something less than 200.
In Hunterdon, altho' we did not succeed we have cut down the democratic majority of last year upwards of 300 votes—another trial we trust will give us the victory. The party is panic struck by the result. But Gloucester, what shall we say of Gloucester, which has disappointed our expectations and made our expectations vain. It is in this county that we vainly flattered ourselves we had the least to fear and the most to expect. There must have been great mismanagement—some strange acts, or Gloucester would have been
in the federal ticket has come with a majority, we are informed, rising 400 votes. Middlesex has given a federal majority of between 3 and 400 votes! Last year the federal majority in Middlesex was about 100. Somerset and Bergen, have both returned federal representations, with increased majorities from last year's returns.

She was 35 days from Cadiz, and brought dispatches for the Intendant General. Most of the French privateers belonging to the ports of Cuba, have been seized and confiscated by the Spanish government.

sailing, and that considerable commotion took place against the French inhabitants the same night.
BALTIMORE, October 19. BLESSINGS OF DEMOCRACY.
Yesterday evening between the hours of four and five o'clock, a party of ruffians rushed into Mr. Lambie's shop, seized his foreman, forcibly placed him in a cart, in a few minutes covered him with tar and feathers and carried him down Market street to Fell's point and back again to the spot from whence they started. The whole city was thrown into instant confusion. Several unsuccessful attempts were made by different gentlemen to rescue him. One gentleman, whose undaunted spirit urged him to rush in to the relief of an oppressed citizen, was inhumanly seized, dragged into the cart, amidst a general cry of, "tar and feather him," and with great difficulty he was extricated. The number was so small who assisted in supporting the laws, that all efforts to extricate the gentleman would have been ineffectual, had not a person from the crowd cried out, "don't injure him, he's a good republican."
Such a shocking spectacle we have never before witnessed in this free country. We cannot give utterance to the feelings which were excited by this outrage.
About dark the prisoner was taken to the mayor's house, followed by the mob. He required to be bailed, and the populace in the street demanded his release; declaring that they would allow the mayor five minutes to bail him, and if he was not released in that time, they would pull down his house. Colonel Buchanan and Mr. Lemuel Taylor offered themselves as security for his appearance. He was then discharged, and amidst the cheers of the mob was triumphantly borne off and carried through the streets.
We give this hurried and correct statement of what we were an eye witness to, and leave it to every good American citizen to make his own comments.
Alexandria Daily Gazette. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22.
MARRIED in Baltimore, on Tuesday evening the 18th instant, by the Reverend Samuel Knox, Mr. THOMAS LAWRASON, Merchant of this town, to Miss ELIZABETH CARSON, daughter of Doctor Samuel Carson, of Alexandria county.
In addition to what we inserted in our last Monitor, relative to the expectation of a speedy answer from the British government, we understand that Mr. Pinckney had stated to Mr. Bethune, the bearer of the dispatches, that he expected to be enabled, before the latter left Falmouth, to furnish him with the reply of the English cabinet to his representation;—but the British Packet being ready for sea when Mr. Bethune arrived at Falmouth, he was obliged to embark before he could hear from Mr. Pinckney.—Monitor.
Every thing indicates the revival of another confederacy in Europe against the tyranny of Napoleon. The issue of the contest is one, in which it is impossible not to feel more than ordinary interest. The examples of Spain and Portugal are before the nations of Europe, if they profit not by them they deserve to wear those chains which have been forged for them. We feel, however, confident that the deliverance of Europe is at hand. The people have discovered that Napoleon is not invincible, a discovery fatal to the tyrant's power.
The manner in which the war has been prosecuted for some time between Sweden and Russia, indicates that a good understanding would shortly take place between the northern powers and Great Britain, and which the complexion of our foreign intelligence induces us to think has taken place before this time.
The deliverance of 10,000 of the Spanish troops in Denmark, from Napoleon's power, is a circumstance highly gratifying to the friends of freedom. The whole Spanish force in that part of Europe amounted to about 35,000. After this the remainder will no doubt be disarmed, as we perceive 5000 have already been in Zealand. The force of France in that quarter will suffer a considerable diminution, and require to be reinforced from some other quarter. The armies of France, if we are not greatly deceived, will find sufficient employment for the remainder of this year.
[Norfolk Ledger] OBSERVATION. —It is a better employment of the understanding, to bear the misfortunes that actually befall us, than to penetrate those that may.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. [Communicated for the Philadelphia Gazette] FROM LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 6.
"The late occurrences lead to a belief that we shall now have a free access to the ports of Spain and Portugal; and there appears a prospect that the demand for colonial produce will bring higher prices. Cotton in particular has already advanced very rapidly, and the following quotations can now be readily obtained:
  New Orleans, per lb. 2s 6d a 2s 8d   Upland, new 2s 5 3/4d a 2s 6d   old 2s 2d a 2s 4d   Sea Island 3s 3d a 3s 9d   Bourbon 3s 0d a 3s 3d   Tennessee 2s 3d a 2s 4d 
"The harvest is completed in the southern corn districts during favorable weather, but in the north of England and Scotland, nearly half of the wheat is in the field. It is generally believed that the crops are large in bulk, but in many parts of the country much injured by a mildew, and less productive than they were once expected to be—this circumstance has revived the demand, and good New-York samples have been this day sold at 12s. 3d. per 70lbs. with some prospect of a further advance.
"Private letters from Holland state, that permission is given for the exportation of all articles, excepting hides, salt and bark, from that country."
