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 at 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 a 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.

FROM THE VIRGINIA GAZETTE.
TO WILSON C. NICHOLAS, ESQ.
LETTER V.
SIR,
Amongst your stigmal interrogatories and responses, relative to the treaty negotiated by Messrs. Monroe and Pinckney, we find the following: "Is our trade to the East and West-Indies, put upon a better footing than it stood before? It is not." This claim of right in us to trade to British colonies has long been insisted on; and that the right has not been recognized by the British to all the extent our interest prompted us to expect has been made a futile source of angry declamation against that country; as if, when they merely limited a grant, they had withheld a right. If we claim a right to trade to British colonies, why not likewise to Spanish, French, Portuguese and Dutch? Have we been freely admitted to these, and strictly excluded from the others? Against Spain, France, Portugal and Holland, I have never heard a complaint. How comes this? You know, sir, that they have always in peaceful times, rigidly excluded us from any communication with their colonies, whence then our calm submission to this exclusion, on the part of these nations, seeing that we resent as an outrage on our rights, a partial exclusion from the colonies of Britain?
I shall be told that we are such good customers to Great Britain; took so many of her manufactures, that we had a right to every commercial freedom she could give. Did not she, in return, take from us four fifths of our spare productions? Did we take her manufactures, because we wished to favor her, or because we got them from her better and cheaper than the rest of the world could afford them? If we were influenced solely by the last mentioned cause, what, I pray, is the mighty favor done her? Do we feel ourselves under any obligation to her for taking four fifths of our export produce? No, and for this plain reason, that if she could have procured them elsewhere better, or cheaper, she would not have taken them from us. The truth is, each nation sought its own advantage in the exchange of its productions, and no disinterested favor was done, perhaps, on either side. But we could have done without her manufactures: She could not do without our raw materials. Such has been the general opinion of our country for many years. In all our transactions with Great Britain, this notion seems ever to have been uppermost in our minds. We have always seemed to regard her as dependent on us, for the very means of existence. We are now acting upon this opinion, we have brought it to the test; what will be the issue I pretend not to predict; but this I see and feel, that if Great Britain suffer by the experiment, more than we, sad, calamitous indeed must be her situation.
But to return to the colonies. We have seen that the reciprocal commerce of the two nations must necessarily have flowed from their mutual wants and convenience, and not from any favor or advantage intended by the one to the other. This being indisputably the case, can the greater gain of one of the parties, supposing this to be the case, give any right to the other to demand concessions? Suppose one was to say to the other, "I exchange my goods, which I do not want, for your goods, which I do want, and which I get from you better and cheaper than they are to be got elsewhere, you must therefore make me some presents to secure my custom," would not this be justly thought a most unreasonable proposition? Yet, wherein differs from this, our demand of liberty to trade to British colonies? These colonies, conquered or planted, have been maintained at great expence, not only of treasure, but of blood. What myriads of men, and millions of money has not Great Britain expended in planting, protecting & conquering colonies. Exclusive of loss of men, she has expended more millions in defence of her colonies than these would sell for; and why such expence of blood & treasure? Was it to promote her commerce, and, thereby give employment to her people? Certainly!—With what face then can we demand a participation in this commerce, which she has so dearly bought? On what principle are we justified in our anger at the refusal to accede to such de-
mand? These colonies are her property bought at a great price, and expensively maintained for her own exclusive benefit; yet, will we tax her with unfriendly, with hostile conduct towards us, because she will not throw open these colonies to our commerce, and suffer us to appropriate to our use, a great proportion of the advantages to be derived from them? To my mind, no demand can appear less founded on reason, or justice; and to me consequently, our complaints and accusations on this head, against Great Britain, are unfounded and unjust, and seem to proceed from a determination to make every thing an object of accusation against her.
But, in this respect, what has been the conduct of other nations? In their treaties of commerce have claims of trading to the colonies of the contracting parties been set up? Or if so, have such claims been admitted? No such claim, if made, has, I believe, ever been admitted. England, indeed, did once force Spain to permit her to carry a few slaves to her colonies in America. This, however, forms no exception to the general rule; or rather it is such an exception, as shows the force and generality of the principle of exclusion.
Notwithstanding the supposed, or real influence of Great Britain over the councils of Portugal the absolute dependence of Portuguese settlements on British supplies, did the British, in any of their numerous commercial treaties with that country, obtain a right of trading directly with her colonies? Never. Portugal desired (as Britain and every other country must desire) to make her colonies as exclusively useful to herself as her situation would permit; and never dreamed, I dare say, that any nation would, on this account, accuse her of injustice, or tax her with the denial of a reasonable claim. In that treaty of "Commerce and navigation between his British majesty and the most Christian king, signed at Versailles, the 26th of September, 1786," did either of the contracting parties grant permission to the other to trade to the colonies? No. By the first article of that treaty the reciprocity of commerce is confined to "the kingdoms, states, provinces and territories, subject to their majesties in Europe" and each is left in the full and exclusive enjoyment, as theretofore, of her colonial trade. What has been done in this respect by Russia and Great Britain? Russia, like us, sold to Great Britain, a vast quantity of the most necessary raw materials. Great Britain sold to Russia a still greater quantity of manufactured goods. The advantage was in this commerce, as much perhaps in favor of Great Britain, as in that she carried on with us; yet, if Russia ever demanded did she obtain the liberty of trading with British colonies? Certainly she did not. She most probably never made the demand, either because she knew it must bear that burden so heavy to a lofty spirit; the spirit of obligation.
Have we any better right than Russia had to put in such a claim? If we have, I should like to see it clearly made out. This I suspect cannot be done. We have generally contented ourselves with asserting our right, and accusing Great Britain of a wrong. The subject is to us almost new. Indeed I am inclined to think, that it is one of those which we do not chuse to discuss. It answers well enough as a subject of declamation and invective; but it is too tender to endure the rudeness of strict investigation.
In the law ethics of nations with regard to each other, I know that any mode of gain is considered just; that it is regarded as justifying even injustice. Let us not, however, give to things improper names—Let us not give that the name of right , which we know to be wrong. Let us not pretend to den and what we in truth, solicit ; or, when we would extort a confession, let us not say that we urge a claim.
But this will not be done. The spirit of hatred against England must be kept up.—Charge upon Charge; accusation upon accusation must be heaped upon her. All her proper, as well as improper conduct towards us, must be turned against her. We must goad her to acts of resentment, and then cry out at her "hatred and jealousy." But can such conduct be just either as it respects her or ourselves? Can it be wise to be instrumental in stirring up against each other two nations which you, yourself, are forced to acknowledge, are useful to each other? Can it be prudent, or wise, in the present awful state of the world, when one nation is like to swallow up all the others, to be bickering about diminutive rights with the only nation, in any degree able to stem the torrent of general subjugation, or to avert from mankind the cruel destiny of an universal despotism?
But you pretend to fear "a despotism on the ocean, that would drive us from it."—If, sir, by despotism on the ocean, you
mean an unlimited power on the ocean, has not Great Britain possessed that power on the ocean for almost twenty years; and yet we were not driven from it, but voluntary retired. However, what, during those 20 years, was the state of our navigation?—Did you, sir, when you talked of a despotism on the ocean driving us from it; did you think of that circumstance? If you thought of it, was it not sufficient to stop expression; or were you determined, in despite of the most stubborn facts; of the most glaring evidence against you, to give vent to that hatred of England with which you seem so completely overcharged!
During those twenty years in which Great Britain has held the sceptre of the ocean with so steady a hand; during this time, when every effort to wrest this sceptre from her has uniformly resulted in strengthening the arm wherewith she held it, has not our navigation & commerce, increased and prospered in a degree never before experienced by any nation in so short a period? Our commercial marine is second to that of Great Britain herself, (if indeed it be second) and surpasses, perhaps, the united commercial navies of all the rest of Europe. Does not this circumstance completely refute the notion, that the nautical power of Great Britain is inconsistent with the security and prosperity of our navigation; or that it would drive us from the ocean? Let us see how exclusively your inference flows from premises that admit of no dispute:—Great Britain has, for twenty years, possessed an unlimited maritime power; during these twenty years our navigation has grown, and flourished, and spread over every sea. Ergo, an unlimited British power on the ocean, would drive us from it.
Such, Sir, is a sample of the wretched stuff which, confiding in the prejudiced blindness of the people, is every day, and every hour presented for their gratification; and for the cruel purpose of nourishing that sad delusion which has divested a majority of them of the power of seeing, of feeling, or of judging, except through the tenebrous medium of leaders deceptions, or deceived.
I am, Sir, Your obedient servant,
A. P.

DEFINITIVE CONVENTION, For the Evacuation of Portugal by the French army.
The generals commanding in chief the British and French armies in Portugal, having determined to negotiate and conclude a treaty for the evacuation of Portugal by the French troops, on the basis of the agreement entered into on the 22d instant for a suspension of hostilities, have appointed the undermentioned officers to negotiate the same in their names, viz. On the part of the gen. in chief of the British army, lieutenant colonel Murray, quarter master general, and on the part of the gen. in chief of the French army, Monsieur Kellermann, general of division, to whom they have given authority to negotiate and conclude a convention to that effect, subject to their ratification respectively, and to that of the admiral commanding the British fleet at the entrance of the Tagus.
Those two officers, after exchanging their full powers, have agreed upon the articles which follow:
Art. 1. All the places and forts in the kingdom of Portugal, occupied by French troops, shall be delivered up to the British army in the state in which they are at the period of the signature of the present convention.
2. The French troops shall evacuate Portugal with their arms and baggage; they shall not be considered as prisoners of war, and, on their arrival in France, they shall be at liberty to serve.
3. The English government shall furnish the means of conveyance for the French army, which shall be disembarked in any of the ports of France between Rochfort and L'Orient inclusively.
4. The French army shall carry with it all its artillery of French calibre, with the horses belonging to it, and the tumbrils, supplied with 60 rounds per gun. All other artillery, arms and ammunition, as also the military and naval arsenals, shall be given up to the British army and navy, in the state in which they may be at the period of the ratification of the convention.
5. The French army shall carry with it all its equipments, and all that is comprehended under the name of property of the army; that is to say, its military chest, and carriages attached to the field commissariat and field hospitals, or shall be allowed to dispose of such part of the same on its account, as the commander in chief may judge it unnecessary to embark. In like manner all individuals of the army shall be at liberty
to dispose of their private property of every description, with full security hereafter to the purchasers.
6. The cavalry are to embark their horses, as also the generals and other officers of all ranks. It is, however, fully understood that as the means of conveyance for horses at the disposal of the British commander are very limited; some additional conveyances may be procured in the port of Lisbon; the number of horses to be embarked by the troops shall not exceed 600, and the number embarked by the staff shall not exceed 200. At all events every facility be given to the French army to dispose of the horses belonging to it which cannot be embarked.
7. In order to facilitate the embarkation it shall take place in three divisions, the first of which will be principally composed of the garrisons of the places, of the cavalry, the artillery, the sick, and the equipment of the army. The first division shall embark within seven days of the date of the ratification, or sooner, if possible.
8. The garrison of Elvas, and its forts, and of Peniche and Palmela will be embarked at Lisbon. That of Almada at Oporto, or the nearest harbor. They will be accompanied on their march by British commissaries charged with providing for their subsistence and accommodation.
9. All the sick and wounded who cannot be embarked with the troops are entrusted to the British army. They are to be taken care of while they remain in this country at the expence of the British Government, under the condition of the same being reimbursed by France when the final evacuation is effected. The English Government will provide for their return to France, which shall take place in detachments of 150 or 200 at a time. A sufficient number of French medical officers shall be left behind to attend them.
10. As soon as the vessels employed to carry the army to France, shall have disembarked it in the harbors specified, or in any other of the ports of France to which stress of weather may drive them, every facility shall be given them to return to England without delay, and security against capture until their arrival in a friendly port.
11. The French army shall be concentrated in Lisbon, and within a distance of 2 leagues from it. The English army will approach within three leagues of the capital, and will be so placed as to leave about one league between the two armies.
12. The fort St. Julien, the Brugio and Cascais shall be occupied by the British troops on the ratification of the convention.
Lisbon and its citadel, together with the forts and batteries as far as the Lazaretto or Trasuria on one side, and Fort St. Joseph on the other, inclusively, shall be given up on the embarkation of the second division, as shall also the harbor and all armed vessels in it of every description, with their rigging, sails, stores and ammunition.—The fortresses of Elvas, Almada, Peniche and Palmela shall be given up to us as soon as the British troops can arrive to occupy them. In the mean time the General in chief of the British army will give notice of the present convention to the garrison of those places, as also the troops before them, in order to put a stop to all further hostilities.
13. Commissioners shall be named on both sides, to regulate and accelerate the arrangements agreed upon.
14. Should there arise doubts as to the meaning of any article, it will be explained favorably to the French army.
15. From the date of the ratification of the present convention, all arrears of contributions, requisitions or claims whatever, of the French government, against subjects of Portugal, or any other individuals residing in this country, founded on the occupation of Portugal by the French troops in the month of December, 1807, which may not have been paid up, are cancelled, and all sequestrations laid upon their property, moveable or immovable, are removed, and the free disposal of the same is restored to the proper owners.
16. All subjects of France, or of the powers in friendship or alliance with France, domiciliated in Portugal, or accidentally in this country, shall be protected. Their property of every kind, moveable and immovable, shall be respected, and they shall be at liberty either to accompany the French army or to remain in Portugal. In either case their property is guaranteed to them, with the liberty of retaining or of disposing of it, and passing the produce of the sale thereof into France, or any other country, where they may fix their residence, the space of one year being allowed them for that purpose.
It is fully understood that shipping is excepted from this arrangement, only, however, in so far as regards leaving the port, and that none of the stipulations above mentioned can be made the pretext of any commercial speculation.

No native of Portugal shall be re- accountable for his political conduct during the period of the occupation of this country by the French army; and all those who have continued in the exercise of their employments, or who have accepted situa- tions under the French government, are placed under the protection of the British commanders, they shall sustain no injury in their persons or property, it not having been given up to the French government; they are also at liberty to avail themselves of the stipula- tions of the 15th article.
18. The Spanish troops detained on board ships in the port of Lisbon, shall be given up to the commander in chief the Bri- tish army, who engages to obtain of the Spanish sovereign, either military or civil, as may have been detained in Spain without being taken in battle, or in consequence of military operations, but on the condition of the occurrences of the 29th of July, and the days immediately follow- ing.
19. There shall be an immediate ex- change established for all ranks of prison- ers made in Portugal, since the present articles.
20. Hostages of the rank of field officers shall be mutually furnished on the part of the British army and navy, and on that of the French army for the reciprocal guaran- tee of the present convention. The officer of the British army shall be restored on the completion of the articles which concern the army; and the officer of the navy on the disembarkation of the French troops in their own country. The like is to take place on the part of the French army.
21. It shall be allowed to the general in chief of the French army to send an officer to France with intelligence of the present convention. A vessel will be furnished by the British admiral to convey him to Bor- deaux or Rochefort.
22. The British admiral will be invited to accommodate his excellency the com- mander in chief, and the other principal officers of the French army, on board of his ships of war. Done and concluded at Lis- bon, this 30th day of August, 1808.
(Signed) GEORGE MURRAY, Quarter-Master General. KELLERMANN, Le General de Division.
We the duke of Abrantes, gen. in chief of the French army, have ratified, and do ratify the present definitive convention, in all articles, to be executed according to its tenor.
(Signed) The duke of ABRANTES. Head quarters at Lisbon, the 30th August, 1808.
ADDITIONAL ARTICLES to the convention of the 30th of August, 1808.
Art. 1. The individuals in the civil em- ployment of the army made prisoners, ei- ther by the British troops, or by the Portu- guese, in any part of Portugal, will be re- stored, as is customary without exchange.
2. The French army shall be subsisted on its own magazines up to the day of evacuation. The garrisons up to the day of the evacuation of the fortresses. The remainder of the magazines shall be deli- vered over in the usual form to the British government, which charges itself with the subsistence of the men and horses of the ar- my from the above mentioned periods, till their arrival in France, under the condition of their being reimbursed by the French go- vernment for the excess of the expense be- yond the estimation to be made by both par- ties of the value of the magazines delivered to the British army. The provisions on board the ships of war, in possession of the French army, will be taken on account by the British government, in like manner with the magazines in the fortresses.
3. The general commanding the British army will take the necessary measures for establishing the free circulation of the means of subsistence between the country and the capital.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27.
There is no reason to credit the informa- tion, given under the New York head, of France having declared war against the U. States. So far as it relies for credibility on any thing official received by our govern- ment, it is entirely disproved, as no informa- tion to this effect has, we understand, been received. The rumor is supposed to have originated from the American consul at Liverpool having dispatched a boat with a letter from Mr. Pinckney for the secreta- ry of state received by him after the sailing of the Alknomac.
Information relative to our affairs with England has been received as late as the 12th of September, when things remained in sta- tu quo.
Mr. Young, our consul at Madrid, has arrived in this city, from Gibraltar by the way of London. As he remained at the latter place some time, he brings no late Spa- nish news.

APPOINTMENTS. The Council of the state of Virginia, have appointed general PRESTON, Treasurer, and DAVID S. GARLAND, esquire, of Amherst, Register of the Land Office of the common- wealth of Virginia.
The President of the United States has appointed BENJAMIN HARRISON, Esquire, of Charles City, Commissioner of Loans, for the state of Virginia.
The ship Manillat Barrett, of Nantucket, from Port au Prince, arrived at St. Peters- burg the 17th of Aug. A Philadelphia ship from England with a cargo, arrived off Cron- stadt, but not being permitted to enter, pro- ceeded for Stockholm.
From the Washington Federalist.
It was with the greatest pleasure we laid before our readers the correct and dignified resolutions entered into by the federal re- publicans of Richmond and Manchester in Virginia, which will be found in our paper of Saturday. When we consider the pecu- liar situation which the federalists stand in, in Virginia, under the oppressive operation of the general ticket law; we accord to them our cordial commendations for the course they have determined to pursue, to give all possible importance to their force. It is undoubtedly a cause for much future regret for the people of America, that the friends of col. Monroe had not, in justice to his sentiments, afforded the federalists thro' out the union a more early opportunity of appreciating his opinions upon the present unhappy state of the nation. The federal- ists have wished for no change from party views, nor have they spoken of their neces- sities but under the pressure of great nation- al suffering. They have risen, as it were by an unanimous impulse, to oppose the dire oppressions of a weak pusillanimous and tyrannical administration, without any re- gard to calculations of their numbers or their power. They were sensible the weight of administration would be employed to suppress them; yet they knew it was their duty to put every thing at hazard to save their country from degradation and ruin. They generally foresaw that the prevailing policy of the administration in regard to our foreign relations, would produce a schism among the republicans of the union, because this direction had been manifested for some time in the house of re- presentatives. After the disgusting sequel of the Bradlean caucus, the friends of Col. Monroe, who has certainly been grossly misused by his quondam patron, duly con- sidering the lamentable state into which the prospects of their country has been brought by the embargo and non-importation mea- sures, aware themselves of his opinions which point to objects very different to those now exhibited through the country, did mani- fest a desire to elevate this gentleman to the chair of state. Their first introduction, however, of colonel Monroe as candidate for the presidency, was so little understood by the federalists, that they who were per- sonally acquainted with him, and who en- tertained a high respect for his private vir- tues and his public worth, were nevertheless kept in ignorance of his impressions as to the commercial interests of America. They only hoped he was not inimical to commerce, because he had with prudence, foresight & the soundest judgment concluded a com- mercial treaty with G. Britain, which the president did not choose to have adopted. But this was short of the duty col. Monroe's friends owed to him and to the nation. They should have breathed the new inst recom- mendation of the documents avowed in the second,
and the friends to commerce from Maine to Georgia would unquestionably have hailed as a deliverer him who had sheltered us from the storm, if the blessings of his last diplomatic achievement had not imperious- ly been refused to the nation. Yes, gentle- men, had this course been pursued, col. Monroe's election would have been placed beyond the reach of opposition; for he would have carried with him the feelings and entire intelligence of the United States. At this late hour a great deal doubtless has been lost by the indecision and tardiness of col. Monroe's friends; yet let not his oppo- nent be too sanguine, for col. Monroe is one of Virginia's darling sons, and this eldest sister of the union still holds the ba- lance in her hands.
FROM THE VIRGINIA GAZETTE.
Something new under the Sun!!! A petition or rather a subscription, is now circulating for signatures, in the congress- ional district, composed of the counties of Prince Edward, Charlotte, Cumberland and Buckingham, the object of which is to induce a certain exalted personage, to be- come a candidate for congress in opposi- tion to Mr. Randolph. Surely the oppo- nents of Mr. Randolph must be extremely hard run for a candidate, since they are obliged to raise one by subscription! This manoeuvre is certainly a novelty in the annals of electioneering. Should the subscribers succeed in procuring a can- didate by these means, he will of course be the subscription candidate; and should he have the good fortune to be elected, he may with great propriety be called the subscrip- tion member of congress; but in the house he will probably be stiled the subscription gentleman from Virginia. Money is fre- quently raised by subscription for various purposes, but I presume there never was an attempt made before to raise votes for a re- presentative of the people by subscription." "This will not tell well in history."

ANCHOR TAVERN, GEORGE-TOWN.
Beef Stake and Oyster House REVIVED, BY GEORGE PITT.
FROM the repeated and sincere solicitations of his real friends, and other transient, respectable characters, who visited his house when occupying the above tavern, he with much pleasure, informs them, that it has been completely repaired, and improvements added, so as to make it comfortable and convenient to the weary traveller—retired apartments for the philosopher, or man of business—an extensive view of that beautiful island belonging to General John Mason, river Potomac, &c. A copious and elegant garden, with rural and public walks and arbors, for the desponding lover to meditate on the object of his affections—and the man of pleasure to pass away many a dull and tedious hour. And its being in the centre of the town, near the banks and other offices, and the nearest tavern to commercial characters, renders his situation more convenient to the planter, farmer, and man of business; and gives it a decided preference over any other—to which add the keeping of good and attentive servants; the best of regulations in his house; liquors equal to any in the Union, good beds, wholesome diet, moderate charges, and a determination to use every exertion in his power to give general satisfaction. He flatters himself that he shall meet with that support from a generous and discerning public which his attention and merit may entitle him to.
Gentlemen, and those who act as such, may be accommodated with Oyster Suppers, at sixty-two and half cents each, at any hour in the night, in parties not less than four in number—If less, they will be charged with four suppers.
As the ensuing races are expected to be more respectable than formerly, all gentlemen sportsmen may depend on being accommodated with good stabling, careful hostlers, the best of hay, horse feed of every description, and every attention paid to their nags, fillies, &c.
Private stables for two or three running horses, with accommodations for grooms, &c. G. P. October 19. Sawt
