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.

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 250 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.

ON THE EMBARGO.
I WILL now solicit the attention of my fellow citizens to the embargo. On the policy of this self-destroying measure, on the mischief which it scatters through all classes of society, on the ruin it conveys to the inmost recesses of our country, it is not my purpose to remark. My observations will be confined to the evidence it affords, of that subserviency to France, and hostility to England, which characterises the present administration.
It is impossible to advert to this subject, without searching for the motives in which the law originated. In pursuing this inquiry, those aids which, calculating on the form of our government, we might reasonably expect to derive from official sources, are unattainable. A studied obscurity covers from our view essential information respecting it.
As this subject was debated with closed doors, the public is not in possession of those arguments with which the bill was supported by its advocates. The message of the president, and the documents transmitted with it, furnish the only motives which our rulers have avowed for this destructive measure.
The message refers to the communications accompanying it, as "showing the great and increasing dangers with which our vessels, our seamen, and merchandise, are threatened on the high seas and elsewhere, from the belligerent powers of Europe;" and concludes with recommending an embargo, and preparations for any event which might grow out of the crisis.
The documents, so far as we are acquainted with them, show, that the decree made at Berlin, had always been understood and intended by the emperor of France, to be applicable to the United States, and that the British government had issued a proclamation requiring their seamen in foreign parts to return to the service of their country.
It would seem then that the only danger which these communications announced to our commerce, was found in the Berlin decree; and the only increased danger, which threatened our seamen, was the proclamation recalling British subjects to the protection of their native land.
Let us examine these causes of alarm, and inquire what would probably have been their influence on our administration, had there not been others, which, though unacknowledged, were more operative.
Was the Berlin decree the real, efficient, moving cause of the embargo?
There is not, perhaps, a thinking individual in the U. S. who would not answer this question in the negative.
The president had acquiesced in that decree, without a serious and adequate remonstrance, too long to warrant a suspicion that he contemplated resistance to it. When Spain, whose monarch was a known automaton, moving at the will of Bonaparte, adopted this measure in terms, and applied it to the United States, it was scarcely possible to doubt the intentions of his master. Yet no resentments were manifested by our rulers, nor was any disposition shewn to counteract this nefarious war on our offending commerce, though it might have been done by means far less ruinous to ourselves, than those which were selected.
If the system recommended by the executive had really been directed against this decree, there could have been no conceivable motive for not speaking to congress a plain and decisive language, unless it was an unwillingness to proclaim to the legislature and people of America, the grating truth, that the distress they were about to experience, was to be ascribed exclusively to France.
On the contrary, he would, in all probability, have stated the fact in explicit terms. It would have been his duty to have done so, that congress might have exercised some judgment in determining, whether this arbitrary decree could have been resisted most advantageously for the U. S. by an embargo, or by different means.
Unfortunately, no American, who has been within the walls of the house of representatives, can ascribe to the majority of
congress, a very high degree of discernment; but it is impossible to impute to them such excess of folly as to suppose, they would have selected an unlimited embargo as the best means of defending our commerce against this atrocious attack upon it. Of all that could be chosen, it is the most destructive to ourselves, and the least efficacious. A simple notification to our merchants, of the determination announced by the French emperor, unaccompanied by any protecting measure whatever, would have been infinitely more eligible. Allowing to the cruisers of France the utmost success that our fears could anticipate, and the injuries our merchants could have sustained from them, we had borne no proportion to those inflicted by the embargo. If the fear of giving offence, restrained the president from recommending, and congress from adopting, that obvious and honorable system of resistance, which proved successful in 1798, yet the armed ships of France, which escape the active vigilance of the British cruisers, could not annoy our neglected commerce to an extent, which would bear any comparison with its present suffering, nor even to an extent which might not have been covered by insurance.
But we deceive ourselves, if we believe, that the embargo, if really intended as a measure of resistance to the Berlin decree, would be less offensive to the haughty master of the European continent, than those which were taken in 1798. Opposition to his will in a greater or less degree, displayed in one mode or in another, is an unpardonable crime, for which punishment inevitably follows, when the fit occasion for inflicting it shall arrive. We ought to know him better than to believe, that he will excuse an embargo, if intended to thwart his designs, sooner than more vigorous and more efficacious measures.
But the most conclusive evidence on this subject, is afforded by the language and conduct of the administration, and of its confidential adherents. They say that the Berlin decree was a dead letter, innocent in point of fact, though tremendous in form. It was a mere verbal injury, which might indeed insult our sovereignty, but could not substantially impair our interests.
Human folly was not so extravagant as to guard against such an attack with such an armor.
Complete refutation of the opinion here controverted, is also to be derived from the direction which is given to the public sentiment. The people are exhorted to submit with patience to the calamities they feel, because this self-annoying system must soon bring Britain to our feet; they are taught to believe that its continuance or suspension depends on the course of the British cabinet; and that, should we engage in a war, it is against Britain we are to wage it. In making military appointments, every principle of propriety and decency is disregarded, in order to bestow commissions on men recommended only by their uniform submission to the will of France, and their uniform exertions to advance the power of Bonaparte.
These circumstances are incompatible with the idea, that it was against the Great Nation this ruinous measure was intended to operate.
It is not then in the Berlin decree, that we are to find the motives for this fatal act.
The British proclamation was a common and legitimate act of sovereignty, at which no nation has a right to be dissatisfied. The recall of their subjects to the defence of their country, affects not us, and can furnish no cause for any extraordinary measure on our part. If it denotes a determination to impress their seamen found in our merchant vessels on the high seas, that is no more than the continuance of a practice, which has existed throughout the last and the present war, under which our commerce has flourished in an unexampled degree, and our prosperity has been carried to a height, which, until this fatal blow, given to it by ourselves, all other nations might view with envy. It could not, therefore, furnish a motive for annihilating that commerce, and destroying that prosperity.
The communications made with the message, then, do not furnish the real motives for the embargo. It cannot be believed, that the American legislature has passed an act, suspending indefinitely the whole foreign commerce, and nearly all the revenue of the United States, paralysing the whole industry of the nation, reducing thousands to sudden beggary, and banishing a most useful class of men from their country, upon reasons so totally incapable of proving its necessity or utility to the satisfaction of any reflecting statesman.
If we may credit communications made to the public by members of congress, the total insufficiency of the reasons assigned in the message, to support the measures re-
commended, was so obvious, and was urged with such force by its opponents, that its friends were compelled to take refuge under the confidence reposed in the president, and the certainty that he would not have recommended the measure, had he not possessed intelligence which proved its propriety.
How must we be surprised, if in these times any thing could surprise us, to learn that a measure, so deeply interesting to every citizen, was passed by the legislature of the union, because such was the will of the executive. It had been supposed, and the theory of our constitution, as well as the practice of former times, justified the supposition, that on an occasion which so vitally affected the whole community, the information and reasons, which had satisfied the judgment of the president, would be truly conveyed to the legislature that the judgment of that body might be satisfied also. But we are authorised to believe that the conclusive demonstration of the insufficiency of those reasons, had no tendency to arrest the pernicious measure, which was recommended. It was the WILL of the president and he must have sufficient reasons to justify it, although he had not thought proper to trust them to the legislature.
What, then, were these secret reasons which were so powerful as to produce an unlimited embargo?
Are they to be looked for in the orders of the British council?
This also, is impossible. At the passage of the act, those orders were unknown in America. That which is unknown and that which does not exist, are equally incapable of constituting the real motives of human action.
Those who are desirous of justifying this ruinous measure, and of ascribing it to the conduct of Britain, have the boldness to say that private intelligence was received in the United States, on which the president and congress acted. This private intelligence is stated to have been a letter published in one of our papers, informing a correspondent, that some measure, retaliating on France the Berlin decree, was about to be adopted by England. But is any human being, endowed with ordinary perception, so credulous as to believe, that the government of the U. States would adopt a measure so destructive of the national interests, on the faith of a letter written, they knew not by or to whom, inserted in a newspaper without any verification of its authenticity, and stating that some regulation, the writer knew not what, was about to be made by the British Council? Nations do not adopt a system so pernicious on such vague and uncertain data.
Had the British orders of council furnished the inducement for the embargo, the president would have transmitted, with his recommendation of that measure, his reason for making it. No man can believe that orders, which the instant they were known, were seized with avidity, and urged in defence of this measure, would not have been assigned at the time as its motive, had their existence then been known, and had those who, since their discovery, have so eagerly caught at them, and then in reality acted on them.
It is not then in orders of council that we are to find the motive for imposing upon ourselves this distressing burden.
If neither the communications referred to in the message, nor the orders of council, produced the embargo, what, let me again ask, did produce it? This severe punishment cannot have been inflicted on our devoted country, without a grave and serious motive. What was that motive? This is an enquiry which every citizen of the United States ought to join me in making.
After the victory of Friedland, and the treaty of Tilsit had extended the influence of Bonaparte over the north of Europe and of Asia, he seems to have thought it unnecessary longer to exhibit the slightest semblance of respect for the sovereign rights of those nations, which had been theretofore, in some small degree, permitted to enjoy independence. He seems to have required that all other states, relinquishing the right of self-government, should perform the part he might assign them in his favorite system of combining the whole world against England, and conquering her navy, by destroying her commerce. In execution of this scheme, it is known that he had required Denmark and Portugal to depart from that half-neutrality, which one had purchased, and in which the other had been indulged; to force Sweden into the same coalition, the arms of Russia and of Denmark had been turned against that gallant nation.
There is every reason to believe, that this comprehensive plan embraced the United States, and that it was notified to our government, previous to the recommendation of the embargo.
It is known that the arrival of the revenge immediately preceded that measure, and it is understood, that she brought from our ministers in England only duplicates of dispatches, that had before reached the executive. From France, however, very important and interesting communications are understood to have been received: we know with what earnestness, motions, requesting that these communications might be laid before congress, were repeatedly urged, and with what perseverance they were rejected. It is extremely difficult to account for this concealment, unless these communications contained the secret reasons of that embargo, which was recommended immediately after their reception. We know that the private letters, received from France by the emperor, concurred in the information, that Bonaparte, whose voice is FATE, had positively declared there should be no neutrality. The Paris Moniteur of the 20th of October, the most official paper of the French government, which insinuates no political idea, not sanctioned by the emperor, commences a paragraph, which seems to designate the course prescribed for us, with these sentences: "On the 26th of October the congress of the United States opens its sessions at Washington. No person doubts, that the first operation of this assembly will be a formal declaration of war against England. The public mind is so warned on this subject, that any member of congress, who should dare to vote for pacific measures would run a great risk of being very roughly handled by the people."
We know too, from official documents, that France has since manifested some resentment at our not having actually declared war; and that she has taken some measures to make us feel that resentment; and by acting on our fears, to force us into the declaration.
It is difficult to compare these circumstances with each other, and with the total impossibility that the motives publicly assigned for passing the embargo, can really have produced that measure, without feeling persuasion, that we have drawn this ruin on ourselves, in order to deprecate the wrath of the tyrant of the world, by uniting with him in his favorite plan to destroy the commerce of that nation which presents the only barrier opposing that universal domination to which he aspires.
This is the 'invisible hand,' to which one of the most intelligent and independent members of the House of Representatives alluded: and the consciousness that the allusion was just, accounts for the vindictive rage which it inspired.
The apprehension that even this measure may not be deemed sufficient by him whose 'INVISIBLE HAND' moves nearly all the cabinets of the civilized world, and that nothing short of war will satisfy him, can alone account for the unremitting exertions of those who rule the United States, to prepare the public mind for that full consummation of national degradation.

FOREIGN.
From the Boston Centinel of the 7th inst. are selected the following additional articles of information received by the Arcturus from Spain.
We further learn, that the subjugation of the Patriots, occupied not only the military skill, but the artifice of Bonaparte. We give the following as an instance:
His Prefect at Bordeaux had been ordered to stop the play at the theatre, to announce, officially, the death of the king of Great-Britain—the succession of the Prince of Wales to the crown; his declared attachment to France; and his determination not to assist the Spanish "rebels." This news was believed, printed in bills, and circulated in Spain to discredit the Spanish Patriots. Added to this, pompous handbills were circulated, announcing the pitiful demand of higher wages, by the journeyman weavers in Manchester, as a grand insurrection in one of the grandest cities in England.
The French police in St. Sebastian, allow no information to be received there, but from Bayonne and Madrid; but the Patriots succeeded, by private conveyance, in making their brethren acquainted with the progress of their contest; and their Gazettes, Addresses, Proclamations, and handbills were read with great pleasure by the Bascons.
The late Royal Family of Spain, were held prisoners in France, but were personally well treated—The old King, Queen, and her paramour Godoy, were in Compiegne (in the North of France, about 50 miles from Paris) the young king, Ferdinand VII. and his brothers, Don Carlos and Don Antonio, were at Valency, about 100 miles south of Paris, in a castle owned by Talleyrand, who was in disgrace with the Emperor; but who had been made the jailor of all those cajoled and unfortunate princes.
Bonaparte, since dismissing Talleyrand from his counsels, is said to have no advisers; his conduct had been extremely contradictory; revoking one week the orders of the last, and then resorting to the act revoked. Berthier attended him at Bayonne as his war executioner; and Champagne, as the herald of his plans as they regarded foreign nations. The latter is considered a man of slender talents.
As it respected the American affairs, one of the passengers by the Arcturus, informs, that Bonaparte had expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the conduct of Mr. Jefferson. If it be true, as asserted, that Mr. J. has obeyed the instructions of Bonaparte, in his embargo, non-importation, and other acts, the French emperor would indeed be a hard master, were he not pleased, when those orders were faithfully executed. That, if the arrangements of the United States did not interfere with his grand plans, he should not meddle with any arrangements they might make with England.
Accounts had been received in France, of very warlike preparations having been made in Austria; the army of which had been augmented to its war establishment, an army of reserve formed; levies on masse ordered. These preparations had attracted the notice of Bonaparte, and would have been commented upon in his way, had the Spaniards submitted quietly to his domination:—And it was the opinion of French officers, that a new war between France and Austria would take place as soon as Bonaparte had leisure to attend to it. Russia, it was expected, would join Austria.
The new king arrived at St. Sebastian the 9th of June—he was attended by a very small party of imperial guards; and was accompanied by his brother Napoleon, to Bilboche, where they embraced and separated. The Spanish deputies were in his train, to the number of thirty or forty, in carriages drawn by mules. It was reported that before Josep left France, he expressed reluctance to entering Spain; but imperious commands of his brother to proceed to Madrid, could not be resisted? but when about to depart, the emperor Napoleon assembled the Spanish Grandees, (a word that means no more than distinguished or rich men) and told them he committed the safety of their new sovereign to their keeping; that he knew their influence in their respective provinces, and required an exertion of it in bringing an "ineffable rabble" to their senses: that the mass of the people was a monster which must be muzzled (his own words) and he demanded the exercise of all their talents to muzzle it; and should influence not be exerted, or prove unsuccessful, he would pour upon Spain all his wrath; and that his force should carry fire and sword into all the provinces; that he would treat them as a conquered nation; and that their destruction was inevitable. When Josep entered St. Sebastian, he was treated with every mark of cautious suspicion and cold neglect, by the Spaniards of all degrees and sexes; the people of property removed their valuable effects to a distance in the interior, as they would have done had the visit been from a grand bandit; the Spanish ladies refused to honor with their countenances, the peagentry of their forced-meet king; and even the populace, generally fond of parade and show, did not deign to gaze on the cavalcade,
as it passed; while many were in tears at the approach of one whom they considered as a foreign tyrant imposed upon their country for its ruin and degradation. The detestation and hatred of Joseph and all the French was universal, and none but those who were compelled by their individual responsibility, such as the commandant, and all the municipal officers waited upon the king, or showed him the least attention. The king remarked this coldness, and told the municipality that he hoped, on his return to find their sentiments respecting him altered. The Spaniards at St. Sebastian, considered the grandees as men in duress; and that they were in their hearts loyal to their country and its legitimate sovereign Ferdinand VII. No willing obedience was paid to Josep, and though Cupusio, was wholly commanded by French troops the Spaniards were very unequivocal in their expressions of detestation and hatred of all the French; whom they menaced on various occasions; and at the same time showing every mark of attention to the Americans, whom they considered as English.

Dispatches have been received at the Secretary of State's office by an arrival from a Spanish port. They have been forwarded to Mr. Madison. We understand they are of an old date. [Monitor.]
Capt. Mott, the ringleader of the unfortunate affair in Vermont, in which Ormsby &c. were killed has received his trial, and is found guilty of murder. Eleven others who were also concerned, have been apprehended, against some of whom indictments for murder have been preferred, and others who were also engaged in the affair have been charged with being guilty of high treason.
On the 9th inst. two vessels with their cargoes were condemned by the district court of Pennsylvania. These vessels were seized by the Collector of the port of Philadelphia, for a breach of the embargo laws, by taking on board prohibited goods. Notwithstanding the owners disclaimed knowing any thing of the transactions, the vessels and cargoes were condemned, with the exception of the sea stores.
A letter from a gentleman of respectability and information in Cincinnati (Ohio) to the editor of this Gazette, dated August 28, says: "There is very little doubt that gen. Philemon Beecher, a firm federalist, will be elected to congress in the room of Jeremiah Morrow, esq. a thorough going democrat." So we go.
We are informed from undoubted authority that orders have been issued for marching seven companies of the newly raised standing army into the state of New York, to be placed at the disposal of the governor of that state. (U. S. Gaz.)
Accounts from Amsterdam to the 23d June, are received by the way of Boston: They represent business throughout Holland to be in a wretched state of languor. Though the prices were high, they were merely nominal, and the amount of produce very small.
Amsterdam, June 13.
Colonial and American produce continue to sell at excessive prices; our stock will soon be exhausted and importations still remain prohibited. Government has allowed us to export butter, cheese and gin to neutral and friendly ports: a few American vessels will, as I understand, take some gin and try their voyage home; but they must carry no letters.

FOR SALE,
My SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Machodock 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, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit 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 improvements alone, 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 level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for building 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 overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—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 select fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.
Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved.
In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Negroes my Plantation utensils, some Household and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. 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. He is an excellent Foal-getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchasers own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHAPIN, esqr. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county. R. W. Ashton. Virginia, King George county, } June, 24th (25) 1808. 2aw3m.
