A Runaway.
ON Monday morning last, a young and likely negro man slave, named DICK, left the service of the subscriber, and is now supposed to be lurking in or about the town of Alexandria. He is about 18 or 19 years of age, copper colored, well made, and wears his hair in a queue. He took with him shoemakers' tools, with which he is a tolerable workman, and had on a short jacket made of dark colored twilled Virginia cloth and pantaloons of the same. As he went off without any sort of provocation that I know of, it is supposed he is harbored at some of the numerous tipping houses in or about the town, and perhaps kept at work to defray his expenses.
I will give Ten Dollars reward for his apprehension and delivery to me, or if he is secured in any jail and notice given to me—and if he is apprehended out of the county of Fairfax or district of Columbia, I will pay Ten additional Dollars. J. H. Hooe. April 6. d

TRANSLATION.
SIR,
I send your excellency a letter which the emperors of Russia and France write to his majesty the king of England. The emperor of Russia flatters himself that the king of England will feel the grandeur and sincerity of this step. She will there find the most natural and the most simple answer to the overture which has been made by admiral Saumarez. The union of the two empires is beyond all change, and the two emperors have formed it for peace as well as for war.
His majesty has commanded me to make known to your excellency that he has nominated plenipotentiaries who will repair to Paris, where they will await the answer which your excellency may be pleased to make to me. I request you to address it to the Russian ambassador at Paris. The plenipotentiaries named by the emperor of Russia will repair to that city on the continent to which the plenipotentiaries of his Britannic majesty and his allies shall have been sent.
In respect to the bases of the negotiation, their imperial majesties see no difficulty in adopting all these formerly proposed by England, namely, the uti possidetis , and every other bases founded upon the reciprocity & equality which ought to prevail between all great nations.
I have the honor to be, With sentiments of the highest consideration, &c.

Letter from his majesty the emperor of the Russias, and Bonaparte, to his majesty, dated Erfurth, 12th of October, 1808—Received 21st Oct.
TRANSLATION.
SIR,
The present circumstances of Europe have brought us together at Erfurth. Our first thought is to yield to the wish and the wants of every people, and to seek, in a speedy specification with your majesty, the most efficacious remedy for the miseries which oppress all nations. We make known to your majesty our sincere desire in this respect by the present letter.
The long and bloody war which has torn the continent is at an end, without the possibility of being renewed. Many changes have taken place in Europe: many states have been overthrown: The cause is to be found in the state of agitation and misery in which the stagnation of maritime commerce has placed the greatest nations. Still greater changes may yet take place, and all of them contrary to the policy of the English nation. Peace, then, is at once the interest of the people of the continent, as it is the interest of the people of Great Britain. We unite in entreating your majesty to listen to the voice of humanity, silencing that of the passions; to seek, with the intention of arriving at that object, to conciliate all interests, and by that means to preserve all the powers which exist, and to insure the happiness of Europe and of this generation, at the head of which providence has placed us.

SIR,
I have the honor to transmit to your excellency a letter which the emperor of the
French and the emperor of all the Russias write to his Britannic majesty. The grandeur and the sincerity of this step will, without doubt, be felt. That cannot be attributed to weakness which is the result of the intimate connection between the two greatest sovereigns of the continent, united for peace as well as for war. His majesty the emperor has commanded me to make known to your excellency, that he has nominated plenipotentiaries, who will repair to that city on the continent to which his majesty the king of Great Britain and his allies shall send their plenipotentiaries. With respect to the bases of the negotiation, their majesties are disposed to adopt those formerly proposed by England herself; namely, the uti possidetis , and any other bases founded upon justice, and the reciprocity and equality which ought to prevail between all great nations.

SIR,
Having laid before the king my master the two letters which his excellency the count Nicholas De Romanzoff has transmitted to me from Erfurth, I have received his majesty's commands to reply to that which is addressed to him, by the official note which I have the honor to enclose to your excellency. However desirous his majesty might be to reply directly to his majesty the emperor of Russia, you cannot but feel, Sir, that from the unusual manner in which the letters signed by his imperial majesty, was drawn up, & which has entirely deprived them of the character of a private & personal communication, his majesty has found it impossible to adopt that mark of respect towards the emperor of Russia, without at the same time acknowledging titles which his majesty never has acknowledged.
I am commanded to add to the contents of the official note, that his majesty will hasten to communicate to his majesty the king of Sweden, and to the existing government of Spain, the proposals which have been made to him. Your excellency will perceive that it is absolutely necessary that his majesty should receive an immediate assurance, that France acknowledges the government of Spain as party to any negotiation. That such is the intention of the emperor of Russia his majesty cannot doubt.
His majesty recollects with the lively interest which his imperial majesty has always manifested for the welfare and dignity of the Spanish monarchy, and he wants no other assurance that his imperial majesty cannot have been induced to sanction by his concurrence or by his approbation, usurpations, the principle of which is not less unjust than their example is dangerous to all legitimate sovereigns. As soon as the answer on this point shall have been received, and as soon as his majesty shall have learnt the sentiments of the king of Sweden, and those of the government of Spain, I shall not fail to receive the commands of his majesty for such communications as may be necessary to make upon the ulterior objects of the letter of count Romanzoff.

SIR,
Having laid before the king my master the two letters which your excellency transmitted to me from Erfurth, one of which was addressed to his majesty, I have received his majesty's commands to return, in answer to that letter, the official note which I have the honor herewith to inclose. I am commanded to add, that his majesty will lose no time in communicating to the king of Sweden and to the government of Spain the proposal which have been made to his majesty. Your excellency will see the necessity of an assurance being imme-
diately accorded to his majesty, that the admission of the government of Spain as a party to the negotiation is understood and agreed to by France. After the answer of your excellency upon this point shall have been received, and so soon as his majesty shall be in possession of the sentiments of the king of Sweden and of the government of Spain, I shall receive his majesty's commands to communicate with your excellency on the remaining points of your letter.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed)

No. VII.
OFFICIAL NOTE.
The king has uniformly declared his readiness and desire to enter into negotiation for a general peace on terms consistent with honor to his majesty's crown, with fidelity to his engagements, and with the permanent repose and security of Europe. His majesty repeats that declaration. If the condition of the continent be one of agitation and of wretchedness; if many states have been overthrown, and more are still menaced with subversion; it is a consolation to the king to reflect, that no part of the convulsions which have already been experienced, or of those which are threatened for the future, can be in any degree imputable to his majesty. The king is most willing to acknowledge that all such dreadful changes are indeed contrary to the policy of Great Britain.
If the cause of so much misery is to be found in the stagnation of commercial intercourse, although his majesty cannot be expected to hear, with unqualified regret, that the system devised for the destruction of the commerce of his subjects has recoiled upon its authors, or its instruments, yet it is neither in the disposition of his majesty, nor in the character of the people over whom he reigns, to rejoice in the privations and unhappiness even of the nations which are combined against him. His majesty anxiously desires the termination of the sufferings of the continent. The war in which his majesty is engaged, was entered into by his majesty for the immediate object of national safety. It has been prolonged only because no secure and honorable means of terminating it have hitherto been afforded by his enemies.
But in the progress of a war, begun for self-defence, new obligations have been imposed upon his majesty, in behalf of powers whom the aggressions of a common enemy have compelled to make common cause with his majesty; or who have solicited his majesty's assistance and support in their national independence. The interests of the crown of Portugal and of his Sicilian majesty are confided to his majesty's friendship and protection. With the king of Sweden his majesty is connected by ties of the closest alliance, and by stipulations which unite their counsels for peace as well as for war. To Spain his majesty is not yet bound by any formal instrument; but his majesty has, in the face of the world, contracted with that nation engagements not less sacred and not less binding upon his majesty's mind, than the most solemn treaties. His majesty, therefore, assumes that in an overture made to his majesty for entering into negotiations for a general peace, the relations subsisting between his majesty and the Spanish monarchy have been distinctly taken into consideration; and that the government acting in the name of his Catholic majesty Ferdinand the seventh, is understood to be a party to any negotiation in which his majesty is invited to engage.
(Signed) GEORGE CANNING.
No. VIII.—TRANSLATION—NOTE.
The undersigned, minister for foreign affairs of his majesty the emperor of all the Russias, has the honor to reply to the note of the 28th of October signed by Mr. Canning, secretary of state for foreign affairs, to his majesty the king of G. B. and addressed by his excellency to the Russian ambassador at Paris. That the admission of the sovereigns in alliance with England to a Congress, cannot be a point of any difficulty, and that Russia & France consent to it. But this principle by no means extends the necessity of admitting the plenipotentiaries of the Spanish insurgents: the emperor of Russia cannot admit them. His empire in similar circumstances—and England can recollect one particular instance—has always been true to the same principle.—Moreover he has already acknowledged the king Joseph Napoleon. He has announced to his Britannic majesty, that he was united with the emperor of the French for peace as well as for war; and his Imperial majesty here repeats that declaration. He is resolved not to separate his interests
from those of that monarch; but they are both ready to conclude a peace, provided that it be just, honorable and equal for all parties.
The undersigned sees with pleasure in this opinion respecting the Spanish insurgents nothing presents itself which can either prevent or delay the opening of a Congress. He derives his persuasion in this from that which his Britannic majesty has himself confided to the two emperors; he is bound by no positive engagement to those who have taken up arms in Spain. After fifteen years of war, Europe has a right to demand peace. The interest of all the powers, including that of England, is to render it general: humanity commands it; and such a desire, surely cannot be foreign to the feelings of his Britannic majesty. How can it be, that he alone can withdraw himself from such an object, and refuse to terminate the miseries of suffering humanity?
The undersigned consequently renews in the name of the emperor his august master, the proposal already made, to send plenipotentiaries to any city on the continent, which his Britannic Majesty may please to point out to admit to the Congress the plenipotentiaries of the sovereigns in alliance with G. Britain: to treat upon the basis of the uti possidetis , and upon that of the respective powers of the belligerent parties: in fine to accept any basis which may have for its object the conclusion of a peace, in which all parties shall find honor, justice, and equality.
The undersigned has the honor to renew to his excellency Mr. Canning the assurance of his high consideration.
(Signed)
COUNT NICHOLAS DE ROMANZOFF.
NO. IX.
NOTE—TRANSLATION.
The undersigned has laid before the emperor his master, the note of his excellency Mr. Canning. If it were true that the evils of war were left only on the continent, certainly there would be little hope of attaining peace. The two emperors had flattered themselves that the object of their measure would not have been misinterpreted in London. Could the English ministry have ascribed it to weakness or necessity, when every impartial statesman must recognize in the spirit of peace and moderation by which it is dictated, the characteristics of power and greatness? France and Russia can carry on the war so long as the court of London shall not recur to just and equitable dispositions; and they are resolved to do so. How is it possible for the French government to entertain the proposal which has been made to it, of admitting to the negotiation the Spanish insurgents? What would the English government have said had it proposed to them to admit the Catholic insurgents of Ireland? France without having any treaties with them, has made them promises and has frequently sent them succors. Could such a proposal have found place in a note, the object of which ought to have been not to irritate, but to endeavor to effect a mutual conciliation and good understanding? England will find herself under a strange mistake, if, contrary to the experience of the past, she still entertains the idea of contending successfully upon the continent against the arms of France—What hope can she now have, especially as France is irrevocably united with Russia.
The undersigned is commanded to repeat the proposal, to admit to the negotiation all the allies of the king of England; whether it be the king who reigns in Brazil; whether it be the king who reigns in Sweden; or whether it be the king who reigns in Sicily; and to take for the basis of the negotiation the uti possidetis . He is commanded to express the hope that not losing sight of the inevitable results of the force of states, it will be remembered, that between great powers there is no solid peace but that which is at the same time equal and honorable for all parties. The undersigned requests his excellency Mr. Canning to accept the assurances of his highest consideration.
(Signed)
CHAMPAGNY.
No. X. Official Note, dated Foreign Office, December 3, 1808.
The undersigned, his majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, has laid before the king his master, the note transmitted to him by his excellency Count Nicholas De Romanzoff, minister for foreign affairs of his majesty the emperor of the Russias, dated on the 16, 28 of November.—The king learns with astonishment and regret the expectation which appears to have been entertained that his majesty should consent to commence a negotiation for a general peace by a previous abandon-

ment of the cause of the Spanish nation, and of the legitimate monarchy of Spain, in deference to an usurpation which has no parallel in the history of the world. His majesty had hoped that the participation of the emperor of Russia in the overtures made to his majesty would have afforded a security to his majesty against the proposal of a condition, so unjust in its effect, and so fatal in its example.
Nor can his majesty conceive by what obligation of duty or of interest, or by what principle of Russian policy, his imperial majesty can have found himself compelled to acknowledge the rights assumed by France, to depose and imprison friendly sovereigns, and forcibly to transfer to herself the allegiance of loyal and independent nations.
If these be indeed the principles to which the emperor of Russia has inviolably attached himself; to which his imperial majesty has pledged the character and resources of his empire; which he has united himself with France to establish by war, and to maintain in peace, deeply does his majesty lament a determination by which the sufferings of Europe must be aggravated and prolonged; but not to his majesty is to be attributed the continuance of the calamities of war, by the disappointment of all hopes of such a peace as would be compatible with justice and with honor.
The undersigned, &c. (Signed) No. XI. Official note, dated foreign office, December 9, 1808.
The undersigned, his majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, has laid before the king his master the note transmitted to him by his excellency M. de Champagny, dated the 28th Nov
He is expressly commanded by his majesty to abstain from noticing any of those topics and expressions insulting to his majesty, to his allies, and to the Spanish nation, with which the official note transmitted by M. de Champagny abounds.
His majesty was desirous to have treated for a peace which might have arranged the respective interests of all the powers engaged in the war, on principles of equal justice; and his majesty sincerely regrets that this desire of his majesty is disappointed.
But his majesty is determined not to abandon the cause of the Spanish nation, and of the legitimate monarchy of Spain; and the pretensions of France to exclude from the negotiation the central and supreme government, acting in the name of his Catholic majesty Ferdinand VII. is one, which his majesty could not admit, without acquiescing in an usurpation which has no parallel in the history of the world.
The undersigned, &c. (Signed) GEORGE CANNING.

MR. SNOWDEN. WE informed you of our circulating several large truths for the purpose of injuring the election of Mr. Lewis.
We got on tolerably smart at first, but they operated against us in Loudoun mightily .
These Quakers and Dutchmen are plaguy independent fellows; there is no making them believe a lie although told with an air of truth. The first said they were "perfectly satisfied with friend Lewis , that he was a faithful representative"—the latter that " our Cho is a chentleman, and a friend to de beeble."
The report about the tax on flour was well planned , but circulated too soon ; as it gave you an opportunity of contradicting it, which was not intended you may depend .—You and your paper are denominated as old Tories .
Notwithstanding our bad luck in Loudoun, " While there is life there is hopes ." We have accounted for the large vote there by asserting that we believe many of the voters' palms were tickled with British gold , and that there are a number of bad votes .
We are now fabricating some new plausible stories for the Fairfax election, on which we make great calculation.
MANY. N. B. We have just discovered that Mr. L. is a British subject , and not eligible.
Latest from Spain.
There is an arrival at Salem from Algiers—sailed thence February 17—brings accounts of the defeat of the French by the Spaniards.
Mr. Oakley.—The English papers state that M. Oakley was the bearer of important dispatches to this country, and the same papers hint that they contained an offer of the British government to repeal its orders in council, provided our government would enter into some commercial stipulations, which are not pointed out. Mr. Oakley has been at the seat of government several days, and we have waited with patience, in hopes, if our executive had received any thing favorable, something of the nature of those offers would be communicated to the public. But the official printers maintain a profound silence—not a hint is suffered to transpire of the receipt of the dispatches, or their contents. That there are dispatches, and that those dispatches are of consequence, we have no doubt. What their contents are, we shall not at this time pretend to surmise, as we suppose they will be laid before congress at the approaching session, and will then, it is probable, be communicated to the people.
[Wash. Fed.]
BRITISH LOSS.—General Stewart declared in the house of commons on the 27th January, that as many supposed their loss amounted to 8 or 9000, he rose to do away that impression, by stating that it did not exceed half that number. Upon being asked by Mr. Ponsonby, whether he meant in the retreat to Corunna; he answered, that he meant from their first landing in Spain.
THE ISLAND OF CUBA.
By the Sagunto which arrived here yesterday, a late proclamation of the governor of Havanna was received by a respectable mercantile house, with which it has kindly favored us. It is dated Havanna, 12th March, and is of material interest, because it affords an opportunity of judging respecting the sentiments which prevail among the official characters of that island, since they became acquainted with the partial advantages of Bonaparte in the north of Spain. It breathes an untameable spirit of resentment to that enemy of the human race, and is filled with exhortations against the dejection which the partial actions in Spain and the occupation of Madrid might produce in weak and servile minds.
At the same time it notices the probability of the infernal projects of France being attempted to be rendered operative on that important island, through the usual methods of seduction and corruption, in which the French residents might be made instrumental. He therefore declares that he shall cause all those to depart who cannot be considered as indissolubly attached to Spain and separated from France by their adherence to the house of Bourbon, or who may not be recommended, by their political opinions, to the public esteem and confidence. It is a voluminous address, but we shall endeavor to prepare it for to-morrow's paper.
We are favored with the proclamation of the governor, dated 22d March, respecting the insurrection at Havanna, of the people of color against the French. They are said to have been mostly boys. We shall translate it for to-morrow's North American.

INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE.
SARAGOSSA, Dec. 31.
Our gazette of this day contains copies of several letters, found among dispatches addressed to Bonaparte, and intercepted on their way from Paris to his head quarters. Letter from Champagny, minister of state, to Bonaparte, dated Paris, Dec. 7.
"Through all the Austrian dominions the utmost activity continues to be displayed, with regard to the new organization of the militia, which seems to excite strong apprehensions in the breast of the king of Saxony and duke of Warsaw. In Munich less uneasiness is entertained on this subject because no movements are observable among the Austrian troops. Ali Pacha is daily drawing more closely the ties of friendship with the English, but being apprehensive of some rigorous measures on the part of the Turkish government, he has sent his treasure to a place of safety.
"Count Romanzoff has dispatched a courier to Moldavia. I have availed myself of this opportunity to send some bulletins to Constantinople, and have also ordered them to be distributed on the road thither. The Ottoman ambassador has postponed dispatching a courier to Constantinople, until intelligence shall have been received of your majesty's arrival at Madrid"
Another letter from the minister of police, to Bonaparte, dated Paris, Dec. 8. 1809.
"In obedience to your majesty's orders, I have caused the articles relative to Sicily to be successively inserted in the Dutch and German gazettes, which will be reported in the French papers; but I have given the most positive orders that no particulars of that expedition shall be mentioned, lest they should raise the enemy's attention.—I inform your majesty that the Frankfort Gazetteer seems to be much disaffected, since it became necessary to adopt strong measures to compel him to insert the article touching Spain. Nor is the city better disposed; the Anglo-mania which prevails in Frankfort is wonderful. It is from thence that bad news is spread all along the banks of the Rhine.
A letter from the French ambassador in Munich, M. Otis, to the French minister of state, 26th of November, 1808, contains the following passages:
"The Austrians continue to make intrenchments in Corinthia. A great number of peasants are employed in the defile of Detenstem, Rastadt, Muntendorf, and Lueg. We are here convinced that the court of Vienna intends to carry the plan of the new organization of the militia into execution in its full extent, and to derive greater advantages from this measure than were at first expected. But a want of principle seems still to prevail, and the armies are encreased at the expence of agriculture and industry. The emissaries who have been sent into different parts of Austria report, that no movements of any consequence have hitherto taken place among the troops.
"The marquis of Campo Chiaro is writing here for fresh orders, and it appears that the accession of his majesty king Joachim to the throne of Naples, has been made known to the court of Vienna, much later than had been supposed, for which reason the above minister cannot proceed to that capital, until the court has returned an answer."

Some of those persons holding freehold estates in the county of Fairfax, and who have always exercised the right of suffrage there, have submitted the late law of Virginia, passed with a view of depriving them of that right, to the gentlemen of the Alexandria bar, who have given an opinion upon the subject, with their reasons at length—and for the satisfaction of those persons holding freehold estates in Fairfax, and desirous of voting as usual at the election on Monday next, the opinion is left at Mr. Snowden's Printing Office for the inspection of any person who may be desirous of perusing it.

LEE'S ELIXIR I!
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptions. A single trial of this medicine will prove its efficacious quality in restoring a perspiration common to healthy people; it dislodges and expels the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthening the weakened vessels of the lungs, thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms of course are effectually and permanently conquered. The great number of cures performed in 1808 by this elegant and useful preparation, is sufficient to astonish and convince those that labor under colds, coughs, consumptions, &c. of being immediately relieved, without saying any thing of the many thousands benefited in former years; however for the information of those persons, if any there be, that have not heard of the balsamic qualities of Lee's Elixir , we give the names of the following persons, who are well known to our citizens in general as persons of integrity and strict veracity. From the following certificates it will plainly appear, that a three year's consumption, a common cold or cough, are all with ease removed by Lee's Elixir .
Messrs. R. Lee and Son,
The superior qualities of your medicine, called Lee's Elixir , induces me to give you this certificate for publication, to point to my suffering fellow mortals the road to health, the most valuable of all earthly possessions. For upwards of three years I have been afflicted with a severe cough, tightness of the breast, lowness of spirits, and a gradual wasting of the flesh; having tried different medicines recommended for such cases, without receiving any real benefit; fortunately one of your advertisements was given to me—I immediately applied to Mr. Vance , 178, Market street, for some of your Elixir, which has contrary to the expectations of my friends restored me to my former good state of health. Any other information will be given by me.
George Harwood, Market street, Baltimore
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish for the good of others, the benefit I have received from your excellent preparation called Lee's Elixir . Being afflicted with violent pains in the breast, loss of appetite, and a debility of the whole system, which rendered me unable to attend to business, being advised to try your Elixir, I procured two bottles of Messieurs Warner and Hanna , which has entirely removed the complaint, and restored me to a perfect state of health. From the good effect of your Elixir I was led to suppose your other medicines were equally efficacious, which induced me to give your Worm Lozenges to my children, and with pleasure I inform you they had the desired effect. Any other information I shall give on application to me at my house in Sly's-street, Baltimore.
John Keller.
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
In December last I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pains in the breast, which continued to grow worse, during which time my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much, that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me, that much good had been done by the use of Lee's Elixir , advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna , which I accordingly did—and to those persons unacquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of the one bottle restored me to PERFECT HEALTH .
J. A. Smith, Market street, Fell's Point.
