RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, 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 navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria. B. Dade. November 4.

WINTER ENJOYED.
As I am what the men of the world if they knew such a man, would call a whimsical mortal, I have various sources of pleasure and enjoyment, which are in a manner peculiar to myself, or some here and there such other out-of-the-way person. Such is the peculiar pleasure I take in the season of the winter, more than the rest of the year. This I believe may be partly owing to my misfortunes giving my mind a melancholy cast; but there is something even in the
"Mighty tempest, and the hoary waste. Abrupt and deep, stretch o'er the buried earth,"
which raises the mind to a serious sublimity, favorable to every thing great and noble. There is scarcely any earthly object gives me more. I do not know if I should call it pleasure, but something which exalts me, something which enraptures me, than to walk in the sheltered side of the wood, or high plantation, in a cloudy winter day, and hear the stormy wind howling among the trees, and raving over the plain. It is my best season for devotion: my mind is wrapt up in a kind of enthusiasm to HIM, who in the pompous language of the Hebrew bard, "walks on the wings of the winds." In one of these seasons, just after a train of misfortunes, I composed the following:
The wintry west extends his blast, 'And hail and rain does blaw; Or the stormy north sends driving forth The blinding sleet and snaw:
While tumbling brown the burn comes down And roars frae bank to brae; And bird and beast in covert rest, And pass the heartless day.
"The sleeping blast, the sky o'ercast," The joyless winter day; Let others fear, to me more dear Than all the pride of May.
The tempest's howl, it soothes my soul, My griefs it seems to join, The leafless trees, my fancy please, Their fate resembles mine!
Thou Power Supreme whose mighty scheme These woes of mine fulfil, Here, firm, I rest, they must be blest, Because they are THY will.
Then all I want (O do thou grant This one request of mine) Since to enjoy thou dost deny, Assist me to resign. [Burne's Reliques.]

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
REFLECTIONS ON THE STATE OF EUROPE. UNDER this head, the Connecticut Courant has lately published a series of numbers. The writer concludes the whole with the following pertinent and impressive remarks:
"In the stupendous drama of Europe, which begun with the French revolution, almost every succeeding act has produced surprise by its novelty, and has abounded with incidents as terrible as they were unexpected. Both wisdom and folly have been baffled alike in their conjectures respecting the future. In vain has the learned sage explored the pages of history ancient and modern to find some parallel instance that might enable him to conjecture the future from the past. In vain has the shrewd politician, the wily statesman, attempted to lift the veil from futurity, so far as to descry consequences from their causes nicely weighed in this balance. All, all, have been equally puzzled, equally baffled in their theories, equally out in their guesses: and from first to last, it has happened that what occurs to-day affords no means by which to judge of to-morrow.
"We have seen a great and high spirited nation rise in its might and burst the bands of its government. We have seen this nation of 30 millions of people, not only prostrating and sweeping away all its civil institutions, but also waging open war, as it
were, against Heaven. We have seen it, in the uproar of anarchy and atheism, covered with crimes the most horrible, and mangling itself by the murder of myriads of its citizens. While thus weltering in its own blood and seemingly in its last agonies, we have seen it spring forward in the paroxysms of rage, bearing down all before it with irresistible might, binding the surrounding nations in fetters, and spreading havoc and ruin far and wide.
"We have seen a young man of no name or family, an adventurer, a foreigner, who had fed upon the bread of public charity—we have seen him step forward, put his bit in the mouth of this furious nation, scourge it with his whip and goad it with his spurs. We have seen thirty millions of people, who generally, neither feared God nor regarded man, who had spurned all laws divine and human; we have seen them, one and all, bend their necks to the yoke of this usurper. We have seen them, all as one man, become the tools of his ambition, a mighty engine in his hands, that has been wielded by him hither and thither at his pleasure. Like the He Goat in the Prophet Daniel, that "touched not the ground" as he went, we have seen this modern Alexander moving in his career of victory with astonishing rapidity, shaking the pillars of every government within his reach, overturning thrones at a single blow, putting down and setting up kings, and still adding nation after nation to the train of his conquests. We have seen moreover a series of incidents remarkably tending, from first to last, to promote his views. All this we have seen already; and what will be the next act in the drama, or what its catastrophe, omniscience alone can foretell.
"The kingdom is the lord's, and he is the governor among the nations. "He sitteth upon the circuit of the Heavens," and "darkness is under his feet." Divine Providence rules and overrules the affairs both of nations and of individuals; and amidst the convulsions, the confusions, and the changes in Europe, it constantly marches forward with unerring wisdom toward the accomplishment of its final purposes. Yet, while we acknowledge with awe, the dispensations of Divine Providence "in staining the pride of human glory and bringing into contempt the honorable of the earth;" also while we entertain a firm belief that it will be so ordered by the Disposer of all events, that good will finally grow out of this state of things—we do, in the mean time, not the less detest the instruments of cruelty that are filling the earth with violence and with blood. They "mean not so, neither do their hearts think so." Their aim is not final good or indeed any good to mankind, but to advance their own ambitious views and to gratify their cruel dispositions. And they are to be resisted on the same principle that we would resist and destroy a robber, an assassin, who should attempt to plunder us of our property and to murder our wives and our children. Napoleon's fall may be as sudden as his elevation; or if, for the wise and holy purposes of Divine Providence, his power should be continued and not farther enlarged, there is still a power above, that has fixed his bounds which he cannot pass; a power that is never wanting eventually, to those who duly confide in it, and are not wanting to themselves.
"The signs of the times" are truly awful. The tempest grows louder and yet louder; and in this alarming juncture, it behoves us to bethink ourselves of our own safety. Placed as we are at a great distance from the theatre of general uproar and carnage, and kept, as yet, out of the vortex, we are in this respect in an enviable situation; a situation which we ought to contemplate not without lively gratitude to the Governor of the Universe, nor without heart-felt compassion for our suffering fellow beings. Never had a nation more means of happiness, more urgent calls for patriotism, more frequent or more solemn warnings against internal divisions and dissensions; yet we turn a deaf ear. Instead of uniting like a band of brothers to ward off the blow that threatens us, we are but adding weight to it by violent, and acrimonious discord among ourselves. Is this worm at the root, a worm that will never die ? Is there no balm that can heal or assuage the wounds which have been made among us by the rancorous spirit of party? Then, our ruin must be inevitable; for a nation, any more than a house, divided against itself, cannot stand. A crisis may arrive, and very soon too, that will give opportunity to some daring usurper to fix his foot upon our necks.
"My fellow citizens, of whatever political party we have been or are, let this be our general motto, For God and our Country . Let us beware of that moral poison , or of those infidel, atheistical principles and practices, which first opened the gate to the
flood of miseries whereby Europe is overwhelmed. Let us practice those political, moral and religious virtues, which exalt a nation. Let us shun the contagion of French influence , and of all foreign influence , with as much vigilance and dread as we should shun the touch of the hand of death. And then, "in the name of our God, we might shut up our banners, and bid defiance to the arm of flesh how potent soever, that should offer to assail us."
From the Boston Repertory.
The question of the reception of Mr. Onis as representative of the Spanish provisional government, appears to us really to be attended with perplexing circumstances. We must confess that we cannot see the arguments in favor of his being recognised by our government in so strong a light, as some of our friends. While there was any probability that Spain could or would maintain her independence against the usurper, we owed, both on the scale of gratitude and as a nation concerned in the great cause of the freedom of nations, all the aid and countenance we could bestow. But if it is morally certain the government from which Mr. Onis derives his official character will soon be swept away, do what you please in its favor, what can be the great advantage of forming connections which must be but momentary? It is said the colonies of Spain, which will disdain to submit to the tyrant, will consider the refusal to receive Mr. Onis as an affront, and that our property within their jurisdiction may be endangered. We cannot pretend to predict as to their measures; but we do not see under existing prospects of the mother country, that such a construction can fairly be insisted upon. The colonies it is certain may, if they choose, remain perfectly independent of Bonaparte. If they declare independence or attach themselves to any other government, and we recognise them in the character they may choose, what more can they can require?
But as we have already observed, this is a question of a complicated nature. We do not venture to offer a decided opinion as to the course that ought to be pursued; nor do we see the conclusiveness of the reasons which have been offered in favor of recognising a minister from the Seville Junta.
The above was in type for last Friday's Repertory, before we knew what policy Mr. Madison would adopt; and we cannot yet see that his declining to receive Mr. Onis is unjustifiable, or that the Spanish colonies can, with propriety, consider it a cause of offence. It is not improbable that were Mr. Onis now to embark for Spain he would find the government by which he was commissioned destroyed. The most active in the struggle, if any have conducted so as to deserve that character, will undoubtedly emigrate to South America, which in all probability will declare itself independent, and may remain so in spite of the conqueror and despot of Europe. If South America, should send a minister to the U. States, we trust an acknowledgement of their independence, a recognition of their representative, and a disposition to establish a friendly intercourse would be the consequence.
If during, the American revolution, the patriots of the confederated states had manifested a general apathy to the cause of independence, or but a few sections displayed the zeal and valor of men determined to conquer or die; if we had left the French to sustain the brunt of the battle, and suffered them to starve or embark for Europe and leave us to our fate—if by such conduct we had rendered our cause, to all human appearance, forlorn and hopeless, would Spain, Holland or any other European power have thought it politic, or incumbent on them, to receive ministers from us? We believe not.
It may be our view of this subject is incorrect; but it appears to us, while we keep up a friendly commercial intercourse with the free part of Spain, and in this way do them all the positive good in our power, that under their present circumstances they can insist on no more; and that the non-reception of Mr. Onis offers no barrier to a good and friendly understanding with the future independent empires of Spanish South America, Cuba, or Mexico, as soon as they assume that character.
LONDON, October 1.
Mr. Denon, the well-known writer of Travels through Egypt , has lately been entrusted by Bonaparte with a considerable sum of money, to be equally divided among the authors of twelve paintings of large dimensions, on the following given subjects:
1st. Bonaparte addressing the Bavarians before the battle of Abensberg. 2d. The attack of the bridge at Ratisbon. 3d. The capture of Ratisbon.
4th. The attack of the bridge at Landshut. 5th. The bombardment of Vienna. 6th. The attack of the bridge at Ebersdorf. 7th. The battle of Wagram. 8th. The French emperor's bivouac, on the field of Wagram, during the night of the 5th and 6th July. 9th. A view of the island Napoleon (Inder Lobau) at the time when his imperial majesty re-entered it after the battle of Essling. 10th. A second view of the island when Napoleon embraces marshal Lannes mortally wounded in that battle. 11th. A view of Ebersdorf, and the bridge over the Danube. 12th. A view of the gardens of the palace of Schönbrunn.
A small number of marble busts, and among others one of marshal Lannes will also be executed by skilful French sculptors. The celebrated Canova, who is to receive 100,000 crowns for a colossal statue of Napoleon in bronze, has engaged the assistance of the German artists at Vienna, who cast the statue of Joseph II under the direction of the celebrated professor Zauner.
The triumphal arch erected in the Carrousel at Paris, by order of Bonaparte to immortalize the glory of the French armies, is now entirely finished. It faces the Tuileries on one side, in the direction of the Vestibule, and the Louvre on the other. It is 45 feet in height, 60 in length, and 20 in thickness.

LETTER FROM HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR AND KING. "Count de Hontebourg, our Minister of War,"
"The reports that are before us contain the following assertions—that the governor of Flushing did not execute the order we gave him to cut the dikes and inundate Walcheren, as soon as a superior force of the enemy had debarked on the island—that he surrendered the place we confided to him, before the enemy had passed the Ditch—the rampart being without a practicable breach, and untouched, of course, therefore, without having sustained an assault, and even when the trenches of the enemy were 150 toises from the place, and when we had 4000 men still under arms; that in fine, the place surrendered by the effect of a first bombardment—If such be the fact, the governor would be culpable, and it will remain to be seen, whether we ought to attribute his conduct to reason or cowardice."
"We write you this letter in order that, as soon as you have received it, you may assemble a Council of Enquiry, composed of count Abville, count Rampon, vice-admiral Thevenard, and count Sorgis—All the papers which may be in your office, the marine, interior, police, or any other department, relative to the surrender of Flushing, shall be sent to the Council, to be submitted to our inspection, with the result of said enquiry."
"Given at our camp at Schoenbrunn, September 7, 1809."

His majesty's wishes anticipated.—Mr. Armstrong in one of his despatches which Jefferson suppressed, but which afterwards came to light through the medium of a Boston print, informed Bonaparte that if he would yield a little in a certain point, it would be the readiest means to induce the United States to accede to his majesty's wishes as expressed in the February preceding.
In the Evening Post of Dec. 9, 1808, was published a curious account of a secret treaty, that had been concluded between Bonaparte and the prince of peace, now known to have been his creature at the Spanish Court. This state paper was brought to light by a Spanish Nobleman of the highest character, of the name of Don Pedro Cevallos, the first Secretary of State; and the fact disclosed has never, as I know of been questioned.
"12. His majesty, the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, engages to recognise his Catholic Majesty the King of Spain as Emperor of the two AMERICAS, when every thing is ready for his majesty's assuming that title; which may be either at the general peace, or at the farthest within three years therefrom."
This I think was a pretty explicit bargain and sale of the United States to Bonaparte's vassal the king of Spain. The actual transfer was to be made only after the conclusion of the war with England, but this war having lasted longer than was then supposed possible, for both Bonaparte and Jefferson have more than once predicted her destruction before this time, it seems the emperor of the French begins to be a little impatient, and by way of anticipating his "majesty's wishes" has sent us a brood of young nobility.
[N. Y. Ev. Post.]
The return of the Wasp sloop of war was noticed in our last, and it appears that all hopes of accommodation with France, are extinguished, but upon two conditions.—Either that we must declare war against G. Britain, and resist the right of her vessels searching our merchant ships. The first is a plain proposition, and requires no comment: the other would in effect be the same, but deserves some notice.
The right of a belligerent to visit & search a neutral ship, is so well settled, that it appears absurd to offer any argument to prove that it is their practice. We have long been persuaded that nothing will satisfy Napoleon, but a surrender of our independence, by going into a war, from which we can derive no advantage.
[Norfolk Ledger.]
Freedom of the Sea.—All mankind are commoners of the ocean: it belongs to no nation exclusively, but ought to be a free highway for every nation, that has occasion to do business upon it. This natural right
never was enjoyed, however, in its full measure and extent, nor ever will be, till men generally throw off the selfishness of their nature and become conscientiously just. In every age of the world the strong have been disposed to oppress the weak, as well upon the sea as on the land.
To go no farther back than the former part of the seventeenth century, we find that a number of English and French adventurers, known by the name of Buccaneers, attacked and captured trading ships of all nations. They attacked and plundered some of the Spanish settlements on the American continent; murdering the men, ravishing the women, and carrying them into captivity.
Suppose the fleets of Europe were now all destroyed, or reduced down to a level with our own gun-boat fleet, the consequence would be an immediate recommencement of the horrible reign of piracy. New hordes of buccaneers would arise; the seas would be covered with them; and no vessels could sail without extreme danger of the pillage of their cargoes and the murder of their crews.
(Con. Courant.)
From the Portsmouth Oracle.
Self evident propositions, in the manner of the CHRONICLE a French paper published in Boston.
Jacobin wants.—The Jacobins want France to conquer Great-Britain, and always have been, and still are willing to pay tribute to France in order to effect so darling an object—but the people will not pay tribute.
They want to destroy all hopes of a reconciliation with England, and to confine our trade to France and her dependencies; while friends of commerce are determined to hold the balance between the two powers with an impartial hand.
They wish to involve us in the contest of Europe—that we should afford our aid to crush the only power standing between Bonaparte and universal dominion—but the people will never engage in an expedition calculated to elevate a tyrant by the destruction of freemen.
They persuade the people to give them the power; restrictions, & prostration of the habeus corpus, embargoes and non-intercourse are the fruits of their elevation. Think ye the people don't FEEL it?
They wish to do away the present federal constitution, and assume the Corsican as our august head; then should we have the pleasure of furnishing our contingent of conscripts, of fighting the English, and wearing the splendid trappings of the tyrant.
They want to establish Bonaparte in Spain, and thus subject another fine country to the inquisition of that lynx-eyed monster—but while the God of armies favors patriotism and delights in virtue, shall their wishes prove abortive.
They wish to increase the power of France by adding to her dominion the Ocean;—while the world exclaims, her power is already too great; the ocean is yet free; woe be to us, if she control it.
They want to destroy republicanism and plunge us in the bloody labyrinth of jacobinism; that crucible in which our virtue would be evaporated, and we should be fitted to receive the fraternal "hug"—but every old whig, every true federalist, every honest man is against them.
They have endeavored by oppressions to produce a civil war, and consequently a se-
paration of the states—but the virtue of the people is proof against all their wiles; the people may be irritated, but their patriotism will induce them to suffer rather than take arms.
And finally after throwing away our constitution, and learning to curse the principles and memory of its illustrious father, Washington, they wish this country to undergo a "regeneration" similar in its effects to that which has been felt by Holland, Switzerland, and Germany: by Venice, Genoa, Piedmont, and the other Italian states.
A DUCHESS AND A PRINCE.
Mrs. JEROME PATTERSON of Baltimore (first wife of Jerome Bonaparte) has been created a DUCHESS of the house of Napoleon, with a salary of 50,000 crowns per annum. Her son is created a PRINCE of the French empire. It is also said colonel Tousard, late of the American Revolutionary army, is appointed his governor, with the rank of General, and a splendid salary. Baltimore is to be the Imperial and Royal residence for the present.

Those who have more than 3000 ducats income, (1650 dollars) shall pay 12,000 reals (600 dollars) for each man they are required to put into the army. Those who have an income of 2000 ducats (1100 dollars) shall pay 6000 reals (300 dollars), and those whose income exceed 1000 ducats (550 dollars) shall pay 3000 reals (150 dollars).

The elder brothers, relatives and guardians of those who have no fathers, come within the purview of this decree, & are rendered answerable for their younger brothers, or wards."
MR. EDITOR,
Occurrences like the following one so rarely happen that I communicate it to you for publication:
The schr. Sarah, Milner, of Kingston, in Jamaica, was on her voyage thence to this port, struck by a Sword Fish, about twelve o'clock at night, being out three days. The Sword penetrated through solid timber 13 inches thick, and protruding within the vessel upwards of 7 inches, passed into a tierce of coffee. He struck until 7 o'clock next morning, when he broke away, being severely wounded by strokes of the harpoon. The schr. being hove down yesterday, the sword was found and extracted.

Mate of the schr. Sarah, Milner. Baltimore, 30th Oct. 1809. (Balt. American.)

JUST RECEIVED, For sale ONLY by JAMES KENNEDY , Sen. King street, The following highly valuable Medicines, Price 3 dollars per bottle. Dr. Jebb's Nature's Restorative A BALSAMIC CORDIAL. THIS cordial so justly celebrated throughout Great-Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the curing all disorders excited by nervous irritability as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living long continued residence in warm climates intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age. In removing pulmonary affections, asthma and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine. Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes. In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many tested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health. The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings. This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public. ALSO, Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.) NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN whilst we are active and strong—prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above. March 11.
