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.

For the Alexandria Daily Gazette.
MR. SNOWDEN, Having for several winters, had an opportunity of being acquainted with the situation of the Poor in this place, I have observed that their greatest distress has always been for the want of wood.
Knowing that many have had little or no opportunity of getting employ in the summer, I have considered what plan would be the cheapest to supply themselves with the necessary article of fuel the ensuing winter.
In several parts of England, Ireland, and Germany, culm or coal, dust and clay, made into balls or square cakes, have been used as fuel above a hundred years.
I have made several experiments with two parts of each, and find it will answer.
A Correspondent in the Museum Musei- cum, mentions this preparation, and adds, "that he has seen several fires of it burning in the house, at that time occupied by the Royal Society in Fleet-street.—Dom. Lucey.
A patent was granted for a similar invention, to Mr. Frederick, of Welbeck-street.
About Bristol, Brislington and other places in the west of England, they commonly make coal balls of their culm, or small refuse coal, which would not otherwise be saleable. The method of making these balls is to take a certain quantity of the culm, and an equal quantity of the slough, or mud left by the tide on the sea shore:—The inhabitants of Croken-Pill, near Kings Road, about seven miles below Bristol, are supposed to make them in the greatest perfection. They seldom make use of any other fuel, and find it answers extremely well, being much cheaper than coal, making as good a fire, and lasting longer.
These balls have not been used above thirty or forty years in the above parts; but are now greatly preferred, though they can have coals laid in at three-pence half-penny the busnel.— British Cwm Farmer. Many persons can buy a few bushels of coal dust, that cannot buy a load of wood.
The saving with this kind of fuel, considering the time it will last, is not less than twelve bushels out of twenty.
I am informed that two gentlemen in Washington, have made use of it for several years.
To any person disposed to make trial of it, I will give every information in my power. Z.
The following letter was received from a gentleman at Pensacola, and has been handed to us for publication.— Orleans Gazette.
INFORMATION
Through different but various channels
BONAPARTE invited the Royal family to Bayonne, under the pretext of holding there a grand council, to decide upon the most important concerns. When they were all assembled together in the above mentioned place, Bonaparte called for the two kings, the father and the son, to whom he separately addressed himself, beginning with the son, presenting at the same time a pistol to both of their breasts, and forced him (to renounce in favor of the father the son) the crown which he had usurped from him.—This renunciation being verified, and formally attested, the same violence was used with the father, who was compelled to abandon his crown and all his possessions in Europe, Asia, Africa and America, in favor of Bonaparte, who [with his usual insolence] declared that he had already provided another king for Spain. This ceremony finished, the ministers [Cevallos and Cavallero] were called to sign the instrument which the two kings had previously agreed to. Notwithstanding, however, that, Bonaparte continued to speak with great rage and fury, holding in each hand a pistol, with which he threatened the ministers, they refused their approbation of the act with all that firmness and dignity which appertains to the high offices they held, and which is natural to a noble minded Spaniard. Both ministers highly worthy of our memory preferred death to the approbation of a measure degrading to themselves and unworthy the Spanish name. Cavallero perished by a pistol shot from the hands of Bonaparte, while he was remonstrating with his usual boldness on the impropriety of his approbation of such measures. Bonaparte asked him if he knew with whom or of what he was speaking? Cavallero replied that he spoke to a Tyrant, and at that instant he received the shot. Cevallos was shot before the door of his own house, for replying that he would never sully his name by a similar condescension. When Bonaparte ordered that the King and Royal family should be conducted to Paris, the Count of Fernalunoz, who was present, drew his sword, but was prevented from using it by
the Generals who surrounded Bonaparte, at the very instant he was about to run him thro' the body. Fernalunoz was immediately hung for this daring attempt. These are the principal events which passed at Bayonne during the residence of Bonaparte at that place.
The whole nation, men and women, have adopted a national cockade. The Spanish ladies refuse to listen to the tales of love from any person whatever, who is not ornamented with this new cockade, and who is not armed and enrolled in the service of his country.—All the nobility in Spain make use of wooden spoons—every description of society, without distinction of class or sex, carry their jewels and other objects of wealth, to the public treasury, in such crowds, that many, not being able to enter in at the door, are obliged to throw them in by the windows!
Late Foreign News.
(VIA NEW-YORK.)
From the Dublin Correspondent, August 5.
We are in possession of some information from Oporto later than that which has been received by the Plover. At the period our intelligence was transmitted, the Narcissus frigate was at that port, and intended to sail with a convoy for England on the 28th of July. Colonel Brown, who had been on a mission to sir Charles Cotton off the Tagus, had returned to Oporto. The Alfred line of battle ship, captain Bligh, had landed 350 marines at Figueras, on the 12, who were received with every indication of joy and affection by the inhabitants.
It was understood at Oporto that Junot had detached a corps of six thousand men against the patriotic force which had deposed the French authority in that city, but the patriots undismayed by the circumstance had advanced to meet it.
Late intelligence from the continent repeat the assurance that a war between France and Austria is an event of very probable occurrence. Apprehensive of some movements in the French army in the neighborhood of Konigsberg, the king of Prussia had strengthened the works of that city, and had withdrawn to Memel, the fortifications of which also are undergoing considerable repair. The French conscripts are still refractory, and only join the army by compulsion. They have in some instances given battle to the French parties which were conducting them.
The emperor Alexander is mentioned as adhering strictly to his alliance with France, and it is added that the recompence in contemplation for his good faith, is the crown of Turkey for his brother the archduke Constantine.
The emperor of the French, it is stated in accounts from Stockholm, has formally required the cession of Holstein from Denmark, and a large contribution in money—this requisition, it is added, had determined the king of Denmark upon an alliance with England.
From the Correspondent of August 6.
The arrival of sir Thomas Dyer from Gijon in the Scorpion brig, is confirmed by the London journals, which have been subsequently received at this office of the 3d inst. The day upon which the Scorpion arrived at Plymouth, the Dexterous brig came into the harbor with dispatches from lord Collingwood off Cadiz. The accounts received through these different channels are not less important than a brief communication to us generally signified—and without being carried away by the ardent expression and enthusiasm which pervade the Spanish official papers, we feel safe in asserting that the patriotic Spaniards have gained signal advantages over their invaders. It is not necessary for our satisfaction that a great victory shall be obtained to make an occurrence important. If the Spaniards can meet the French in the field with any advantage, that circumstance is to us of importance, although they should purchase it with double the loss of their enemy—they can well spare numbers for success.
The statement in the Spanish prints to which we are most attracted, describes the defeat of a French corps of 18000 men under the command of general Moncey. This division of the French army had proceeded into the province of Valencia, and had taken post between Quarte and Mislatat, villages in the vicinity of Valencia. In this position they were attacked by the patriotic force under general Caro, and compelled to retire. The attack was renewed on the following day, the 27th June, with similar good fortune, and with great loss on both sides. Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which Moncey had fought on those two days, he resolved on being the assailant on the 28th, by making an attempt to carry the town. On the afternoon of that day he began the attack, but the patriots being apprised of his intention, had moved under
the walls on the night of the 27th June, for its protection. After several desperate but unavailing assaults, he was obliged to retire in some disorder upon his former position between the villages, where he was covered by a battery. Encouraged by success, however, the patriots attacked him, and a most sanguinary conflict concluded by a most complete victory on their side—of the French army, which began the battle on the 26th, only 1000 are said to have escaped. This small body after wandering about for some time without any destination, was fortunate enough to fall in with a small French corps under general Frere. This general had been detached to give succor to general Dupont, but hearing that a detachment under general Wedel had been routed in endeavoring to accomplish the same object, he considered it unadvisable to pursue his progress, and stopped at St. Clements, where the fugitives joined him.
The patriots in Catalonia have not been less indefatigable or distinguished than in Valencia. A large body of Catalonians, stormed and carried, after sustaining a loss of 6 or 7000 men, Monjuiz fort, which had been occupied by a body of French troops—they put the French garrison to the sword. The loss of the French in the different provinces of Catalonia, Valencia, and Arragon, is estimated at 40,000 men. What we have stated is strictly the substance of the Spanish official accounts—we have already remarked upon the degree of credit we are inclined to confer upon them. There is nothing stated of Dupont's army in the Spanish papers.—It is understood from other intelligence that he maintained his position at Andujar on the 11th. General Castanos it is stated had relinquished an attack which he had meditated upon Dupont, in consequence of understanding that he had placed in the front of his army a number of Spanish women and children and ecclesiastics. The French army is represented as being deprived of every necessary.
The intelligence which has appeared in the London prints from Oporto, we have already anticipated. Sir Arthur Wellesley appeared off that harbor on the 24th ult. He went on shore and paid his respects to the bishop. It was sir Arthur's intention to proceed to the Tagus in the Crocodile, for information of the actual state of the enemy.
Sir Thomas Dyer was in the battle fought between the French army and the patriots under general Cuesta. The Spaniards behaved gallantly, but the day was gained by the superior discipline and regularity of the French troops.
Our London correspondent, writes, in a postscript late on Wednesday evening, that a Spanish officer had that moment arrived at the foreign office with dispatches, and at the same time a British naval officer reached the admiralty with dispatches from our fleet off the coast of Spain. The advices were instantly dispatched to the duke of Portland's, where there was a cabinet dinner that day. Nothing of their contents had transpired, but that they were favorable to the cause of the patriots.
A special communication from Plymouth, written late on Tuesday last, has furnished us with short but interesting information, which we trust will be confirmed. The Townshend packet arrived at Plymouth just before our correspondent had dispatched his letter on that day, from Corunna, which placed she left on the 31st of July. Before her departure intelligence had been received at Corunna, that the patriots had given battle to Dupont at Andujar, and that the result was the total destruction of his army. Dupont was made prisoner in the action. The Townshend brought dispatches for government, which it was thought contained a confirmation of the statement. She is the latest vessel that has arrived from Spain. The Spaniards at Corunna were in the highest spirits upon the faith of the accounts.
LONDON, August 3.
Joseph Bonaparte is said to have arrived at Madrid so early as the 20th of July, seven days before he was expected. He was received with sullen silence; no guns were fired by the Spaniards, nor did any species of rejoicing take place on the occasion.—The bell ringers refused their usual office; which being considered an unpardonable offence, three of them were taken into custody, and on the following day, after a summary trial, put to death. It is said, that a few hired tinkers, (menders of saucepans and kettles) appeared before the palace, and saluted the new sovereign by the noise produced by beating their pots and kettles with sticks; and these men cried "long live king Joseph." The people positively refused to assemble on the occasion; and every appearance indicated a speedy renewal of the occurrence of the 2d of May.
It is indeed reported, on the authority of a letter from Plymouth, that a most violent
tumult had actually taken place on the 23d; that in the conflict which ensued the whole of the French troops in the city were either killed or put to the sword, and that only 4000 cavalry were enabled to effect their escape. The report adds, that upwards of 20,000 persons fell on this occasion. We must submit these statements without, in any respect, vouching their curacy. The letter which contains this was received by a mercantile house in the city. It states, that the account was published at Oporto on the 28th July, in an extraordinary Gazette, which concludes thus:—
"We have now to offer up our prayers and thanksgivings to the God of Hosts, that Spain no longer contains a single Frenchman who is not in the power of the Spaniards."
Advices may be hourly expected of the landing of the expedition under Arthur Wellesley.
Sir Arthur Wellesley had arrived at Oporto on the 25th ult. landed and paid a short visit to the bishop. He then re-embarked and was soon out of sight, and expected to reach Figueras on the 26th. It was rumored, that he was first to proceed to the Tagus, to communicate with sir C. Cotton, and then rejoin the troops at Figueras. The Portuguese are in the highest hopes, and entertain confident expectations of driving out their oppressors, or destroying them.
According to the Dutch papers, the kingdom of Naples is destined for Murat—his successor in the dukedom of Berg is not mentioned. Bonaparte makes his relation dance about, and change places, like so many puppets in a show—he never suffers them to remain long in a place. One month we see them planted in Italy, the next in Germany; to-day they appear as grand dukes, to-morrow they start up before us as kings. What a restlessness there is in all this man's actions!
The only other news of importance in these papers is the proclamation of the provincial government of Tuscany, informing the inhabitants that it is to be united to the kingdom of Italy. The queen of Etruria, who is to be thus robbed of her dominions, our readers will recollect, has already been robbed of her liberty, being at present a state prisoner in France. The proclamation adding insult to outrage, styles the man by whom she has been thus treated, "the protector of religion and morality."
Oporto, July 23.
The Portuguese newspapers which I enclosed, will put you in possession of the revolution in this place; we see nothing here but soldiers, all animated with the same spirit and determined either to conquer or die. They are enraged against Frenchmen as they are fond of the English. We hear nothing as we pass through the streets but "viva England, viva every Englishman. They are our friends, and we wish they would send us officers and arms." We are treated like kings and every Portuguese is ready to do every thing to show his gratitude. There are at anchor outside the bar, the Antelope, Narcissus, Peacock, Eclipse, and Plover. The latter has dispatches from Sir C. Cotton, as well as from the bishop at this place, who is general in chief, as well as president of the council.
It was said yesterday that Junot had been taken prisoner on board the Russian fleet. We must not let him slip, he has been guilty of such excesses, that we must make him smart for them.
In imitation of your grand patriotic fund, we have one open here, as you will see by the newspapers: every one subscribes what he can.
I hear an action has taken place in Spain at Rio Saco or Seco, in which the French lost 8,000 men, with arms, baggage, &c. Great credit is given to it.
We are looking out every day for the arrival of sir Arthur Wellesley—this would be a grand thing, & be enthusiastically received. All the British officers expences here are paid by the government. A house is provided for them, and every article.
The Council has passed an act for the English Coin to pass here for its full value 20s. 6d. Every kind of encouragement is given to the English, and the gratitude of the Portuguese to you, it is impossible to describe.
LISBON, July 19.
The intelligence from this capital impresses our hearts with the profoundest melancholy, and the most direful images of death. Lagarde, that worthy associate of Robespierre, has let loose the most revolting fury, and the most ferocious barbarity against the inoffensive inhabitants of this city. Victims without number are daily immolated to interest, or to brutality; the inexhaustible genius of crime invents torments, multiplies the modes of death, steeps in blood the veil

of justice, and exalts assassination into vir- tue, having destroyed the asylum which the domestic walls till now had offered to the unoffending citizens.
NEW ORLEANS, August 25. We learn that two of the Indians who kil- led the man in Owing's boat, and were at the man to be hung, were executed on the 2d inst: and that the other two were received by the governor in consequence of the citizens of Opelousas petitioning for their pardon.
NATCHEZ, August 9. We are concerned to state that there has been a serious disturbance on the Amite, by a party of Choctaw Indians. The entire particulars are too lengthy and unimportant for our paper—we will only relate that the Indians came into the settlement, plunder- ed and burnt a house, and fired at the pro- secutor. A party of men collected, pursued, and engaged the Indians, but after an action of about 15 minutes, the whites were com- pelled to retreat, having one man wounded. The Indians are supposed to have four or five killed.
The governor we learn has taken the most prompt and efficacious measures to protect the frontiers, and we hope the offenders may be brought to justice, without involv- ing us in a savage warfare.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
BOSTON, Sept. 25.
From Spain. Captain Parsons, arrived on Saturday, from Cadiz, which place he left July 22, (though not so late as before received) con- cerns many accounts received through other channels. He states, that the Spaniards are sanguine in their success against the French —their exertions and enthusiasm, to arm, equip, and enroll themselves as soldiers is beyond all description, no rank or condition, from the highest to the lowest, from the old- est to the youngest, but what are determin- ed on victory or death—that all the city guards and regulars had marched into the interior—that 10,000 men, volunteers, composed of all ranks were under arms eve- ry day in the city of Cadiz and its environs, killing and injuring themselves to the fa- cilities of war—that 1,200,000 men were en- rolled in the kingdom, and that from 4 to 500,000 were under arms, and 100,000 were ordered from the different provinces to march for Madrid.
All accounts agree that the Spanish patri- otic armies were increasing in all parts of Spain. St. James's Day, (July 25th) heretofore a day of universal festivity in Spain, was expected to be one big with the state of Spain and of Europe. One general and desperate effort was contemplated by the patriots. Private letters says—"The 25th of July, 1808, will be remembered by our latest posterity, for the quantities of blood that will inevitably be shed."
NEW YORK, September 28.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Mar- tinique to another in this city, dated Au- gust 20th.
"After the date of my last (written in June) and before our provisions were ex- pended, several small parcels of fish, flour, beef, &c. arrived here from the British is- lands; and since that several prizes have been brought in (one of them from Dublin, 110 tiers of beef and pork) and three or four arrivals direct from France; so that we have not felt any real want, though every thing is very dear. Yesterday I was at a sale at Port Royal of a cargo from France. The flour, somewhat damaged, and not su- perfine, sold at 23 and 24 dollars per barrel, beef 35, pork 42, tongues 35 to 38. Good fresh-fish would bring 12 dollars per 100 lbs. Herrings sold yesterday at 10 to 12 dollars per barrel. Every kind of provision is high in proportion."
NORFOLK, September 28.
A gentleman who came up to this place on Sunday, having got into a pilot boat from the schooner Ann Russel, from St. Bar- tholemews, bound to Philadelphia; left the said schooner on the same day, then 16 days out.
This gentleman states that information had been received at St. Kitts, from Lon- don, to the first of August, brought to Bar- badoes by a vessel express, which stated that a peace between Great Britain and the Northern Powers of Europe, had been con- cluded.
The French from Guadalupe had landed 400 men on the island of Marigalante, and
got possession of part of that island, but on the 4th of September it was retaken by the British, and those men made prisoners.
Our informant says flour at Grenada, St. Vincent's, Antigua and St. Kitts, plenty at 20 dollars, and allowed to be exported to a British island.
The French privateers capture all Amer- ican vessels bound to a British port.

PRESIDENTIAL CONSISTENCE.
When it suited the purpose of Mr. Jeffer- son to extol the French revolution, or to ex- tol its excesses, we find him interlarding his official communications with high wrought de- clamation about "infuriate man wading thro' seas of blood to recover his long lost liber- ty."—But when it suits the purpose of the same Mr. Jefferson to stifle every generous emotion, regarding the oppressed Spaniards and their glorious exertions in defence of their country, liberty and laws—THE CITIZEN OF FRANCE confines himself, in his offi- cial communications, to the cold sneer of "we hear that in Spain there is a contest about the government"—Vile, and disgraceful in- consistency!

To the Editor of the N. Y. Evening Post.
The enclosed is an extract of a letter from Mr. Rutledge, of South Carolina, which has been deemed so interesting by some of my friends who have perused it, as to make them think it worthy of publication. Should you, sir, be of this opinion, your inserting it in your paper, will much oblige your hum- ble servant.

NEW HAVEN, (Con.) Sept. 19.
"The day after the Commencement, Col. Humphreys gave a general invitation to visit his factory, which is at Rimin fall, about 9 miles from this city. I profited of his in- dulgence and civility, as did a number of la- dies and gentlemen who were here from al- most every state in the union. This very curious millseat is formed of a solid rock, constituting the natural fall of more than 20 feet, on the eastern side of which a canal is cut, to supply water for the different wheels. The company were gratified by seeing in motion, at the same time, a grist mill with two run of stones, a paper mill, carding machines (in which the first operations of the woollen fabrics department are performed, such as picking, scribbling, carding and mak- ing the rovings) a saw mill, two fulling mills (including Clothiers' shop and dye house) and the factory. The last mentioned building is a hundred feet long, thirty five feet wide and four stories high. About one half of it is filled with machinery. The wa- ter frames, mules and machinery for prepar- ing cotton, were made by American work- men on the spot. It is asserted by com- petent judges, no better yarn has been made, or imported in this country, than that which has been spun here. One room is filled by a dou- ble carding machine, one Billy, and six Jen- nies with forty spindles, all employed in mak- ing woollen yarn. The company witnessed the spinning of full blooded Merino wool, more than 6 runs (9600 yards) to the pound, they also saw the process of weaving broad cloths and stockings; some very fine pieces of broad cloths were finishing in the clothiers shop. Five hundred reams of the finest qual- ity letter paper were shewn. Very hand- some dress shawls were also exhibited, made of silk and the full blooded Merino wool.— After dinner the company were entertained with the cattle show. Some English cows, and one bull with some remarkably fine calves bred from them, were presented as improvements in that branch of rural econo- my. The beautiful Arabian horse Ranger, with four of his colts, all of the same age and color, were on the ground. The exhibition of the original genuine Merino flock, and the crosses of blood from it consisted of the fol- lowing lots. One hundred and nine ful- blooded ewes, rams and lambs. Four hun- dred half blooded; and a hundred and fifty six three fourth blooded. It was truly interesting to receive the most satisfactory proofs by the sight and touch, and written testimony of persons conversant with the facts, that the
fleeces of the pure breed born in America are as fine as the finest fleeces of those which were imported from Spain—and that in- stead of degenerating the breed has been ameliorated in many articles. On this sub- ject many letters were read by colonel Hum- phries, who favored me with the following extracts. From colonel Taylor of Milford. Observing in the Alexandria Advertiser an account of the ram Badger, of the Arlington breed, that yielded a pound of wool to 10lb 12 ounces of carcase, and which it is said was never exceeded in any part of the world, I weighed the carcase of a small, year old lamb of 3-4 Merino blood. The result was as follows, wt. of wool 3lb. 11 oz. carcase 32lb. which is little more than eight pounds of carcase to a pound of wool. From some of the half bloods I have sheared 5 1-2lb. I am so well convinced of the su- perior productiveness, as well as the superi- or quality of the Merino Wool, that I shall not raise any other stock. They are more easily kept than common sheep; and I sell the wool from the half bloods at a dollar per pound." Col. Holbrook writes, "the ad- vantage of the Merino sheep are incalcula- ble if duly improved, I find that by mix- ing them with other kinds, the Merino pro- duces better, and more wool, than the stock they are raised from. My half bloods pro- duce one third more than common sheep.— From particular observations of those im- ported, and those raised here of clear blood, I cannot discover that the wool fails in any de- gree of fineness since they arrived." Mr. Gal- lop, of Vermont writes, "the Spanish sheep are easier kept than our common sheep; they produce one third more wool; one lb. of the quarter blooded is worth two pounds of common wool." Colonel Humphries shewed the following estimate, received from general Dering, of manufacturing half blooded Merino wool, of his growth, paying for all the branches of labor at the common prices, viz.
  21 lb. of wool at a dollar, $ 21   25 yards of cloth from the } loom at 60 cents, 15   21 do. from the clothier at 21 3/4, 4 83   $ 40 88 
Sold 21 3-4 at $2 50 the yard, 54 37 1-2
Clear profit, after paying every } 13 49 1-2 article of labor at common price }
Believing that col. Humphries has render- ed a very essential service to the U. States by his importation of the Merino Sheep, I am glad to find that our agriculturists begin to prize them with a becoming value. At the show of cattle I saw a ram sold for 150 dollars, and a lamb to general Dering for 130 dollars. One of the imported rams has been let to Mr. William Allen, of Dut- chess county, in your state, for this season, for 100 dollars and two half blood lambs.— The wool of the full bloods sells at the fac- tory for 2 dollars the pound."
