RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIS, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home spun pantaloons, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string: likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the yard, though he is frequently in Alex- andria.

THE HAYFIELD.
FAREWELL to the town, and its bustle and noise, Where Pity must sigh for what Folly enjoys; I have turned to a scene where all nature is gay, And roll at my ease on a bed of new hay.
Ambition might envy so soft a repose, Where Nature her charms in profusion bestows, Where health and the goddess of Pleasure unite To pour on our hearts the full flood of delight.
The fragrance that floats on the breath of the wind, May rival the far boasted perfumes of Inde, For sad is the gale that is laden with sighs, Of tyrants and slaves, and untasted it dies!
But ambition must toss on an ocean of down, Ere the forehead of Care can be robbed of its frown: Then if grandeur be pain, how much wiser are they, Who roll at their ease on a bed of new hay.
O what are the charms of a crowded saloon, Where a thousand lamps blaze in the splendor of noon, Where beauty and youth, age and folly are crammed, And are better delighted the more they are jammed.
The windows are opened indeed, but the breath Of the soul cooling zephyrs is loaded with Death; And those, who according to fashion attire, To be in the fashion, must shortly expire.
Farewell to such folly, a meadow be mine, Where the breezes of health give a pleasure divine; And oft I'll renew the sweet sports of to-day, When happy and thoughtless, I rolled in the hay.
HASTY OPINION.
A gentleman on the point of marrying a young lady of considerable fortune, was conversing with her on the subject of Chinese customs. She thought bandaging their female infants feet, to make them small, and thereby rendering them almost cripples, was a very reprehensible custom. The gentleman replied, that it was chiefly done with a view of preventing the Chinese from gadding too much about, and added he was of opinion that it was a very wise institution. Then she replied his enamorata, a Chinese wife will best suit you. The match was instantly broke off.

FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.
A Ball Dress.—A light blue, or grey chine- se robe, of gosamer net, imperial crape, or Spanish gauze, worn over white pealing satin, ornamented up the front with French bows and knots of silver. A full melon sleeve, formed of the same material as the dress, and alternate stripes of white satin, finished with bows and knots of silver. A double roll of white satin round the neck of the robe, by way of tucker. Hair falling in natural and irregular curls on the forehead, confined in a bow and curled ends, or in plaited braids, at the back of the head, with a diamond comb. Diamond bandeau, with necklace, armlets, and drop ear rings of the same. Slippers of white satin, with silver clasps. French kid gloves, just escaping the elbow. Fan of carved ivory.
Walking Dresses.—A fine cambric or In- dian muslin high gown, with long sleeves and falling collar, ornamented at the feet, and round the neck, with appliqued lace or needle work. Deep amber brooch, or gold filligree buckle, confining the dress at the broat and waist, with bracelets en suite. Gold chain and opera glass. The wood- land hat of fine plaited straw or chip, with ostrich feather falling on one side. A French cloak of bright purple sarsnet or velvet, lined with amber or rose color, and trimmed
entirely round with broad black lace and heading. Purple parasol, with deep white or amber awning. Shoes and gloves of buff kid.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The newest articles that have issued from the manufactory are the striped sarsnets and imperial bombazens; gosamer gauzes, Italian tiffanies, spotted cambrics, and fine tambooured muslins are still much worn in full dress. In the morning costume the straw striped muslin has completely rivalled the jaconet cambric, which is now chiefly confined to slips and under dresses. Shot and figured twill sarsnets remain high in fashionable estimation. Our stuff and pop- lin manufacturers are exerting all their ge- nius towards the production of something which shall vie in warmth and beauty with cloth, and which promises to become not on- ly an article of scarcity but monopoly.
Morning and walking dresses are still made high in the neck, but without collars; to lace up the front, and trimmed round the throat and wrists with a double row of shell lace.
A full or evening dress the backs of gowns are made square, and rather high, without linings, let in at the bottom of the waist with an easy fullness; the bosoms are worn low, and shoulders much exposed; the sleeves long and mostly of lace; trains still continue a very moderate length; the favorite sash is of the bias corded ribband, tied on the left side with small bows and long ends. We have noticed some jackets and petticoats, but the Spanish costume has declined a little in favor.
The witching bonnet, in pink satin and lace, is distinguished for its airy elegance. The crown is in the cone form, made to sit quite easy and plain, and confined in at the back of the head by a band of ribband. The front is constructed of alternate stripes of lace and ribband, supported by a light wire frame, bound over with satin; it is brought down more on the left side, and ties in a careless bow on the right; and sufficiently raised from the face to admit underneath a full short wreath of heath or geranium.
Four rows of blond, or ribband, in whole plaiting at one edge, sewn together, forming a long rosette, and overcast on the other with colored chemille, called a ruche , is a fa- vorite addition to lace or satin caps.
No material change has taken place in the mode of wearing the hair, it is still after the Madonna, or Grecian manner, ornamented with lace veils and bunches of flowers. The prevailing colors of the season are jonquille, geranium, rose, and mazarine; the fashion- able mixtures are red and green, red and brown, red and blue, and amber and white.
(PRIVATE LETTER.)
MUNICH, August 20.
My present sojourn in the capital ena- bles me to acquaint you with the disasters which befel the Bavarian troops in their late incursion into the Tyrol. The invincible attachment of these mountaineers to their independence, joined to their abhorrence of the French, make them fight with a degree of enthusiastic bravery, which reminds us of the extraordinary efforts formerly made by the Swiss in support of their indepen- dence. You have read in the public papers that the duke of Dantzig had entered the northern Tyrol, with about 30,000 men; whilst another column, less numerous, un- der gen. Rusca, penetrated from Leinz on the eastern side, and a third from Italy by the way of Vren. As the insurgents were totally abandoned by the Austrians on the 29th of July; as the greatest want of har- mony was reported to prevail amongst them; as they were said to be without artillery, leaders, and provision, and their cowardice already known; as they had not hitherto the courage to support an attack made upon them with the bayonet, or to face our artil- lery, and never fired but from their lurking places, it was universally supposed they would be soon reduced to unconditional submission; and the Bavarian government sent a military commission with the army, in order to judge the leaders of the insur- rection. The first occurrences seemed to justify the opinion. The passes were weak- ly occupied, and some communes made a voluntary offer of submission, and even de- livered up some arms, but which were, for the most part, unfit for use. It was soon, however, perceived that a very inconsidera- ble part of the inhabitants were willing to submit, whilst the rest fell back in a south- erly direction, and fled with all their move- able effects to the summits of the mountains, which were inaccessible to our troops. In- spruck was in the mean time occupied, and our troops advanced to the right towards Landeck, and in another direction towards the Brennar. From this moment our dis- asters commenced, though the Brennar was occupied. The troops which seized this
important position, marched from it at once on the 7th, under the command of the duke of Dantzig in person, against Sterzing, and were almost all crushed by huge pieces of rocks which were thrown down upon them, whilst those who escaped from the carnage were afterwards cut to pieces by the Tyro- lese. The Saxons, amounting to 16,000 men, formed the advanced guard. They were ordered to march with the greatest ra- pidity, and were advancing with uncommon intrepidity, when they discovered that the hills were occupied by the enemy on every side. Apprehensive that their retreat might be cut off, they commenced immedia- tely a retrograde movement, when they were assailed with masses of rocks and trees, which were flung with such tremendous ef- fect, that all with the exception of 200, were sacrificed in less than 15 minutes. I have this account from an officer, who was among the few who had the good fortune to escape, and they fled with such precipitation and dismay, that they left their artillery, a- mounting to 8 pieces behind them. A sec- ond, and a more prudent attempt was now made by the Bavarians, but it terminated with still greater carnage; and it was then determined to effect a retreat to Inspruck. During the march, our troops were ex- posed to inconceivable hardships. The Tyrolese were transformed into men of a- nother stamp; for contrary to their usual mode of fighting, they rushed with irresist- ible fury upon our troops, under the most dreadful fire of grape shot and musketry, which incessantly played upon them. The column which advanced towards Landeck was exposed to still greater havoc.
It no sooner entered the narrow pass near Psunds, behind Landeck, than it was assailed by the insurgents. In an instant the road, in front and rear of the column, was completely blocked up by trees and rocks, which were precipitated down the sides of the mountains. The carnage which ensued was dreadful. Of the regiment Punker, which amounted a little before to two thousand men, only four hundred es- caped; and three other regiments sustained a proportionate loss, only fifteen hundred were able to save themselves. The Tyro- lese fought with incredible fury. They rushed upon the batteries, and flung them- selves into the midst of the cavalry. No- thing could resist their impetuosity. Dur- ing the retreat 100 of these mountaineers fell in with 60 hussars near Schwarz. They charged with such fury, that not a single horseman escaped. This column, in its re- treat to Inspruck, lost almost all its artillery and ammunition. To that point the whole of the army directed their retreat; but even there they found the mountains seized by the insurgents who pursued and those who affected, in the commencement, to submit. On the 12th and 13th, two most sanguinary battles were fought. The Bavarians wished to dislodge the Tyrolese from the heights; and though they renewed the attack seven times, they were each time repulsed with great slaughter. The insurgents afterwards broke, though armed only with hunting pieces, unprovided with bayonets, into the thickest ranks of our troops; and would, in all probability, have killed or taken our whole army, had they succeeded in destroy- ing the bridge over the Inn Hall. As this project failed, the Bavarians were able dur- ing the 14th and 15th, to continue their re- treat to Wörzel, behind Rattenberg. There they took up a position for some time; and had afterwards the good fortune to reach Kufstein and Salzburg. In the battle of the 13th, near Inspruck, the Tyrolese lost 1000 men, and the French and Bavarians 5000 in killed, besides wounded and prison- ers.
The principal leader of the insurgents is a man of the name of Parfeyer. When summon'd by the duke of Dantzig to deliver up his arms before the 10th of August, he wrote him back an answer, desiring him to send two of his aids-de-camps, who should decide—whether the duke in the year 1795, when he was only general Lefebvre, at the head of such a force as he (Parfeyer) com- manded, would have obeyed a similar sum- mons. The insurgents are estimated at 80,000, a number which appears incredible —but several officers who have been present at the late occurrences, have assured me that an army of 60,000 is scarcely sufficient to obtain possession of the country; and that even a force of that magnitude would be incompetent, unless the severest mea- sures were adopted: such as setting fire to the houses, driving away the cattle, occu- pying the sides of the mountains, and forc- ing the inhabitants to the tops of their Alps, where they must either surrender, or perish by hunger. Should the war break out again, our own frontiers will probably be exposed to the greatest devastation; and we may expect to see retaliated upon our- selves a part of the calamities we intend for the Tyrolese."
From the Charleston Courier.
Yellow Fever.—A letter has been address- ed to the merchants at Lloyd's coffee- house, by Dr. Ralph Cuming, of the naval hospital at Antigua, dated 24th October, 1807, on the subject of a cure of the Yel- low Fever. We extract, [says a London editor] the following passages:—
"I have discovered, that sponging the head, body and limbs of a patient, on the first attack of fever, with rum, or other a- dent spirit, is the most effectual remedy, which can be used. The principle on which it acts, is evaporation, and the degree of cold produced will be in ratio proportion- to the strength or volatiliity of the fluid employed. It has a two-fold effect; at the same time that it refrigerates the ab- burning body, it excites by its stimulant effect on the skin, the perspiratory organs into action, and soon produces a perspira- tion. All the naval surgeons who have vi- sited English harbor, and who have had the fever on board their ships, have used the remedy recommended by me, and are delighted with its speedy and salutary ef- fects; from whom, as well as myself doc- uments have been transmitted to govern- ment."
The doctor afterwards directs, "that when a person is seized with pains in the head, and with a hot skin, &c. in tropical countries, he is to be stripped naked, ex- posed to the action of the air, and to be sponged all over with spirits, until the skin is cool, not suffering the pulse to fall below sixty; he then is to be put to bed, and to have a purge, and an opening injection or clyster. As soon as the fever returns, the sponging with spirits is to be resorted to. Bleeding, in proportion to the strength of the patient, will be necessary, which should never be deferred 24 hours after the first attack." The Doctor adds, "I hope after this information, that people destined to the West-Indies, will leave home with greater fortitude, and not waste their money on the quackeries of the day, and fill their trunks with yellow fever remedies. When the skin is moist, and perspiration flows freely, the spirit is no longer to be used— after the perspiration has flowed for some time, which may be supported by lemon grass, mint, or common tea, the cure is to be completed by an infusion of quassia or decotion of bark, and former habits will by degrees be returned to."
[We understand that this remedy has been applied, with success, in several re- cent cases in this city.]

LATE FROM PORTUGAL.
The fast sailing ship Fair American capt. Hobson, arrived yesterday, in 25 days from Lisbon. Capt. H. politely supplied the Ed- itor of the Federal Gazette with Lisbon and Badajos papers, former to 8th October, and the latter to 29th Sept. together with an extract from a letter from a British colon- his brother in Lisbon, dated Badajos, Sept. 19, which speaks with some confidence of the ultimate success of the patriots, pro- vided the war in Germany continues until permanent arrangements are completed for supplying the troops. The combined army were receiving reinforcements; partic- ularly the Portuguese divisions, a success- ion of small detachments daily arriving from almost every town in Portugal. The French were not advancing. The British head-quarters continued at Badajos—troops extending towards Merida.

Married on Wednesday last, by the Rev. Mr. Gibson, GEORGE TROOP, Esq. Member of the House of Representatives from Georgia, to the amiable and accomplished Miss ANN CARTER, daughter to the late George Carter, Esq.
Our Prospects.—We are not in the secret of the cabinet, that is to say, we are not in the confidence of the administration; but we are not idle and ignorant spectators of passing events. We know enough of the late despatches from Europe to predict that the President's next communication to Congress will not be very favorable to the hopes of the French partisans in this country.—Their very good friend the Emperor does not second their views. He considers them of too little consequence to flatter. His decrees are peremptory. We must fight England, or expect no favors from him. This is a story that will not tell well in a message; and of course it must not be told. But whether it is told in a message or not, it is well known throughout the United States. It cannot be hidden from the people that such is the case. We must fight for Bonaparte or against him. The question is, shall we cower under his mighty wing, or assert our independence? The democratic papers are attempting to prepare the public mind for submission; we think they will fail in the attempt. There is too much of the old spirit of independence yet in our country, to tamely submit to the mandates of a tyrant—an adopted French tyrant too. Our fathers where are they!—The graves would hardly hold them, could they know that their degenerate sons were hesitating whether to submit to the mandates of a bastard Frenchman, or to assert their rights! How are the mighty fallen!
Embargo.—This word of "dreadful import" we had hoped would no more rise up in judgment against this devoted country; but from what we can learn it will be again brought up at the next session of Congress. The French party, we are told, despair of being able to bring the people into a war with England, and of course the only thing they can do to alleviate the wrath of the great emperor is to lay another Embargo.—We are likewise informed that it is the intention of the party to make this new edition of the embargo effectual; it is not only to be a non-exportation, but a non-importation law. It is in fact to be a non-social law; to cut off all intercourse with every part of the world—to abandon the ocean and the shores of the ocean entirely, and draw ourselves completely within our shell. It is our opinion that at this time no such law can pass;—caucus influence has passed away. But that so nothing of the kind will be agitated in Congress there is very little doubt.
Messengers from France.—It has been stated in some of the northern papers, that Lieut. Haswell had said that gen. Armstrong told him "that the United States must go to war with France or England." This we are informed by a friend is a mistake. Mr. Haswell says no such thing; and the northern editors should not have thus stated. They ought to have known that when Mr. Haswell was at New York he had not the official look on his lips, by wags called the mum-chance; and whatever he might have there said, was to be considered as small-talk, and not as talk official. We remember when the Revenge arrived at New York formerly, that Doctor Bullus told his friends in that city, that Bonaparte had declared there should be no neutrals. This was published. The doctor came on to Washington and had the mum-chance put on his mouth; but to his great annoyance and to the confusion of greater men than Doctor Bullus, the accounts he had given in New York stained him in the face. This was a very disagreeable circumstance, which has not been properly cleared up to this day. To avoid all such unpleasant appearances for the future, we think it would be best to avoid
publishing any thing as coming from France until the mum-chance has been properly fixed on the lips of the messenger. After which it is to be presumed nothing will be told but what is proper to be published.
A letter from Oporto, dated 21st Sept. received via Boston, says:—"In consequence of the very fine weather for our harvest, which proves in general very abundant, Indian Corn has fallen from 1100 rs. to 650 rs. per alq. at which it now governs, and that of foreign growth is selling at 600 rs. It is expected to continue about those prices for some time."
Extract of a letter from capt. William Colley, of the ship Jane, belonging to Norfolk, dated

"On Saturday morning, 19th inst. at 8 o'clock. I was lying too about 3 miles from the Wingn beacon for a pilot, when I discovered a small boat coming towards me under Swedish colors which I took for a pilot; when she got along side, she proved to be a Danish privateer, with 14 armed men. They took possession of us and made the best of their way for Alburgs in Jutland; the wind being ahead, at 9 P. M. we got under the island of Laessor, when she sent the privateer's boat on shore with the log book and 3 men. We were then in 5 fathoms water just going to let go the anchor, when myself and crew rose and took the ship from them. The contest was severe and bloody for about 5 minutes. We killed 2 men and hove them overboard, wounded 4 severely, and 3 slightly, out of the 11. I received six wounds—two in my head, two in my left arm, one in my right arm, and one in my right leg—three of them very bad. Three of my men are dangerously wounded, and two slightly. We then made the best of our way for this place, and got in early on the next morning. The attack was made by us without a weapon of any kind—the enemy had each a sword and pistol."

"New York, Sunday, Nov. 5, (noon.)
Captain Kimm in 14 days from Havanna, informs, that the two British frigates and two Spanish 74's from La Vera Cruz, (before reported) sailed from Havanna for Cadiz about the 12th of October, having on board 17 millions of dollars, and other valuable property.
We learn further, that the port of Havanna was opened for the admission of lumber on the 16th ult. and it was supposed further relaxations would take place in favor of Americans.
Another account states, that no vessels would be admitted to an entry that arrived after the 20th October; and all vessels that arrived previous to that date would be admitted. Markets dull, though flour was 20 dollars per barrel, pork 18, beef 16. [Federal Gazette.]

Mr. White has for several years past represented the State of Delaware, in the Senate of the United States—where his talents were known to be respectable, and his integrity unblemished. In the circle of his acquaintance, which was very extensive, his loss will be severely felt, and deeply regretted; and his virtues in private life will be long cherished in grateful remembrance. His probity of conduct, urbanity of manners, and manly deportment, justly entitled him to the rank of a worthy citizen and an accomplished gentleman.

A TRACT OF LAND,
CONTAINING 1600 acres, more or less, called and known by the name of Buffalo Marsh, lying within 12 miles of Winchester, in the county of Frederick, in the state of Virginia. On about 900 acres of this tract there are several very well improved farms tenanted for life or lives, the balance free of all encumbrance, including an excellent merchant, mill built with stone, the whole yielding an annual rent of about 800 dollars. Much of this tract is very fertile, well watered, and all abundance of timber. It is generally rolling, but part of it is hilly and stoney, chiefly of lime stone. It will be laid off to suit purchasers.
Another tract, called Hollis's Marsh, lying in the county of Westmoreland containing about 2800 acres, bordering on the river Potomac, adjoining the Stratford estate, and the late residence of Richard Lee, esq. of Chantilly. On the estate are a number of farms and tenants at will. Part of this land is extremely fertile, and all of it as good as the lands generally are in that part of the country. The Marsh affords excellent range for stock, and is happily situated for fish and fowls of which that river abounds, and must be a desirable estate to any person who may choose to reside in that part of the country. It will however be laid off to suit purchasers. The above lands are held by deeds of purchase duly recorded in the general court.
Another tract containing 992 acres, lying in the county of Berkeley, adjoining the residence of Rawleigh Colston, esq. of which about 660 acres is leased for the balance of the life of an aged man, the rest tenanted at will. This land is situate in what is called the big bend of Potomac, and borders on it. In point of fertility it is esteemed inferior to none in that part of the state and is held by deed from James Marshall, esq.
Seven other tracts containing 1000 acres each, adjoining each other in the county of Mason, within a few miles of the Ohio, between the two Kanawha's on the waters of Sandy Creek, which runs through a considerable part of it. It adjoins the lands of general Washington, and the late Benjamin Harrison, jun. esq. A large portion of it is rich bottom and the upland of very good quality.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S
Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your fine cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloths fall the largest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
