PROSPECTUS OF A PAPER
TO BE PRINTED IN ALEXANDRIA, ENTITLED, THE COLUMBIAN.
THE Subscriber, anxious to establish a Paper whose contents and principle shall be satisfactory to the moderate of both parties, presents to his friends and the liberal public in general, the following outlines of his plan, hoping that they may be consonant to feelings warm in the defence of liberty and the true interests of the country.
The work will at all times be open to the discussion of political matters, destitute of rancor on the one hand, or of overweening partiality on the other. The Editor's selections shall be made with care and attention, never sacrificing for any purpose the real interest of the community, or wandering from the established standard of truth.
In the natural course of affairs, it will sometimes be necessary, from a want of political matter, that the columns of a paper should be supplied with moral disquisitions, practically useful and interesting, and instructive anecdotes from historic research. Nor can this course be well objected to by those whose feelings are alive to the cause of genuine morality and religion. The Editor calculates with confidence upon receiving from those whose education and means of information will authorize it, a copious supply of materials on these subjects. His paper will be at all times open to receive the reflections of the man of science, or the deep research of the critical scholar.
Communications upon all matters, touching Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, together with plans for the general improvement in Canals, public Roads, and the various discoveries in any branch of learning or the mechanic arts, will be particularly sought after, and punctually inserted.
The Editor, earnestly desirous to conciliate parties, will use his most strenuous endeavors to effect so desirable an object—and in the town of Alexandria, where he is attached by the strongest ties of nature, and of interest, he will ever consider it as a primary object, to destroy those seeds of dissention which have had the tendency to retard the growth and prosperity of the town. It is obvious to the most superficial observer, that the minutiae of politics cause a difference of sentiment, and not those general and universally admired maxims in governmental institutions.
The principles of the great and illustrious Washington, together with his services, shall ever be revered.
The Editor is far from desiring to impose on the minds of those who may favor him with their patronage, that his mind has assumed no stand on the important subject of politics, no! on the contrary, he unequivocally declares, that his sentiments are decidedly republican.
As soon as 400 subscribers shall be secured this paper will be printed, weekly, at 2 50 cents per ann. payable, half yearly, in advance, after the receipt of the first number. It will be printed with a neat type, and on good paper of the ordinary size.
If adequate encouragement should be offered, after the commencement of the paper, it will be published three times a week.
Having made arrangements for the necessary materials, and contracted with a gentleman of abilities to assist in the execution of the work, the citizens of Alexandria will be immediately waited on for their patronage—Subscription papers will also be left at the Coffee House and at the principal Book Stores, T. Longden.

The following articles close our selections from Irish papers by the Hantonian:
LONDON, May 6.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, MAY 5.
ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
Lord Grenville said, there was a subject of importance, of which he had given a general notice previous to the recess, he meant an address to his majesty to suspend the operations of the orders in council. Rumors, however founded he knew not, had gone abroad, that it was the intention of his majesty's government to recall them, in consequence of the pleasing hope that our relations with the U. S. of America would be restored to their former amicable intercourse. If such was the fact he congratulated the country, and was much more anxious that the revocation of the orders in council should proceed from the voluntary act of the king's government than by any motion of his. However, if no such intention should be manifested, by the conclusion of the present month, he pledged himself to submit to their lordships the propriety of addressing his majesty for their repeal.
Lord Hawkesbury rose for the purpose of guarding against any inference which his silence might encourage, with respect to the rumor of repeal, to which the noble baron alluded: at the same time that he felt it his duty not to make a single observation on the state of our relations with America. Adjourned.
CORK, May 11.
It may be presumed from some observations between lords Grenville and Hawkesbury, in the House of Lords, on Thursday, respecting the orders in council, that hopes are entertained of an amicable termination of our differences with America. Lord Grenville hinted at an intended concession of those orders by the government in consequence of the arrangements with the American government. Lord Hawkesbury would not admit the fact of any such intention on the part of government as the revocation of these orders, but he did not discredit the other presumption. We do most sincerely hope that a good understanding may be resumed between these kingdoms and America: but we must confess, and we regret to do so, that we do not expect that event will result from any friendly disposition of America towards us. Compelled to make an election between the United Empire and France, she will, in all probability, in consideration of her commercial interests, prefer the former; but there have been an irritation and ill-will in her recent conduct to Great Britain and Ireland, which lead us to think she would not make the adoption voluntarily. She, at this moment, looks at us in an attitude of war, for as a friendly power she would not expel from within the limits of her jurisdiction every thing British or Irish—with any other feeling than an hostile one, she would not interdict her people from all intercourse with our armed ships, be their necessity what it was complained of. No reparation or retribution had been afforded. In looking at this subject let it be observed too, that her interdiction does not extend to the other belligerents—only British ships are excluded—for long after the president's proclamation, a French ship of war lay in the Chesapeake. Mr. Rose's mission, evidently of a conciliatory nature, terminated in nothing more than an expression of concern which he might have made for the affair of the Chesapeake frigate, then reduced to a common transaction by separating his government from a by concern with it. He did not procure the smallest alteration in the measures of America; she did not, in any degree, relax from that angry posture which she had assumed; nor diminish in that irritable sensibility which she expressed upon the occurrence of the attack on the Chesapeake. If she hoped by this menacing position to make our government relinquish their right to search merchant ships, we are glad they possessed firmness enough to disappoint her.
By the navy returns, corrected to Saturday, there appears to be at sea, 93 sail of the line, 9 frigates, 138 frigates, and 329 smaller vessels. The total number in commission amounts to 158 sail of the line, 23 frigates, 173 frigates, 214 sloops, and 266 gun brigs, &c. There are also in ordinary, and repairing for service 47 sail of the line, and 51 building; making in all 255 sail of the line.
We have infinite concern in stating that the indication of turbulence and disorder in several counties are increasing and will
require the full exertion of the law, and the co-operation of every honest and loyal man to suppress them effectually. In the counties of Galway and Waterford some acts of glaring misconduct and irregularity have taken place.
On Monday week, instigated by the very high price of provisions, a number of people assembled at Belfast, in somewhat of a disorderly manner, and seemed disposed to exercise those acts of folly and violence which the inconsiderate and unreflecting too frequently suppose will remedy the distress complained of, but which infallibly add to the evil and its consequences. The interposition of the chief magistrate, aided by other respectable gentlemen of the town, succeeded in persuading the people to peaceable conduct after a little time; and, although a strong body of the military were ready to act, if called upon, it is a gratifying circumstance to know that good order was established by the milder remedy of persuasion, and that no harsh measures were necessary.
Some rioters who had assumed the name of 'Thrashers,' have recommenced, within a few nights, their meetings, and committed some acts of violence in the county of Roscommon. On Friday last they held a meeting, near the residence of sir Edward Crofton, who, on being apprised of the circumstance, lost no time in preparing to endeavor to bring the offenders to justice. Though laboring under some severe personal infirmity, sir Edward put himself at the head of his servants and tenants, and about 11 o'clock at night came up with a large body of Thrashers at the ford of Kiltoom, who, on perceiving his approach, made dispositions for giving resistance. A conflict took place in which three of those deluded wretches lost their lives, and seven were taken prisoners.
GOTTENBURG, April 27.
A brisk cannonading was heard here the whole of the night of Monday last, which proves to have been an attack made by the Daphne, an English sloop, and two others, upon Falstrand in Jutland, out of which they cut ten vessels laden with corn and provisions, destined for Norway, and this afternoon arrived with their prizes here.
April 28.
Our accounts from Norway to-day inform us, that the Swedish army has advanced as far as Kongsvinger, which is within 10 Swedish, or 70 English miles of Christiania, and that they have possessed themselves, by storm, of two essential forts in that neighborhood, in which they took 500 prisoners with very little loss on their side.
Some travellers have arrived within these few days from Hamburg, who bring news down to the 15th: they say that 2000 French troops have entered Altona and that they are in full possession of Holstein, but that none of them have yet come over from Zealand. A report prevailed, when the travellers left the other side, that a great part of the Danish flotilla and transports had been destroyed by the English ships in the Belts, but of this we rather doubt, as no official account has yet reached us.
DATE. April 21.
According to reports circulated in Spain, the following statement of sums placed by the prince of peace, as well in England as in Spain and other countries, has been found among his papers:—In England forty millions of piasters. In France, in the hands of private persons, ten millions. At Genoa, thirty millions. At Corunna and Ferrol, ten millions, destined for England. In the hands of the inquisitor general, one million and a half. In the hands of madame Tuto, one half million. In the hands of Espinosa, eight hundred thousand. In the public exchequer, six hundred thousand, making a total of ninety three million four hundred thousand piasters. To the above sums must be added a great quantity of gold and silver in bullion, a great number of diamonds, and other valuables.
On the 10th and 12th instant, three vessels arrived at Bordeaux, Rochelle, and Nantes, having on board 217,764 lb. of coffee, a great quantity of sugar, cotton, indigo, and other colonial produce.
VIENNA, March 26.
The day before yesterday a state prisoner of distinction, double ironed, was brought forward from Bohemia, in his own coach and four horses, under escort of six hussars and a staff officer. He covered his face that he might not be known.
HAMBURG, April 22.
We have a report here that the Swedish fleet from Carlscrona has made a successful expedition against the Danish island of Bornholm, in the Baltic.
STOCKHOLM, April 23.
His royal majesty, the day before yesterday, received the following two reports from count Klingspor, general in chief of the army in Finland, dated head quarters, Brabesadt and Lamjocki, the 17th and 20th of April.
FIRST REPORT.
My last report was of the 14th instant, and despatches from Pyhajacki.
On the 15th instant the army halted, and on the 16th, at five o'clock in the morning, a report was received from colonel Gripenberg, who with the third brigade, made the rear of the army, that at the very moment when the corps began to put itself in motion, it was attacked near Yperi by a column of the enemy's troops, greatly superior in number. Immediately sent thither your royal majesty's adjutant general, colonel count Zowenkjelm, who found the third brigade, engaged in a very severe conflict with the enemy, after having made a very vigorous resistance, fell back to Wirestorp where it halted, formed, and joined the first brigade, which occupied the villages in the neighborhood of Pyhjocki, and covered our left flank, which the enemy seemed anxious to turn.
The third brigade made the above retrograde movement with the utmost coolness and order, under the orders of colonel Gripenberg, whose conduct was on that occasion as conspicuous as it has been on all others. Being, however, informed of the enemy's vast superiority in numbers, I ordered the retreat to be continued, which movement was made with the utmost order.
The third brigade retreated at some distance from the sea, while I with the first brigade marched along the coast; the former having been joined by the regiment of Abo, formed on the ice in order of battle in such a manner that the brigade was able to continue the retreat. Adjutant general count Lowenkjelm, who put himself at the head of the cavalry to form an attack, fell with his horse and was taken prisoner, and captain Clairsell, who greatly distinguished himself, shared the same fate.
The enemy finding that notwithstanding his great artillery and horse was not able to succeed in his endeavors to turn our right flank, gave up his pursuit a quarter of a mile from Pyhajocki. The brigade continued its retreat in a northern direction on the ice, and joined the second brigade near Salo, one division of which had orders to support the first brigade, in case the enemy should push on still further. The other division of the second brigade which had taken post near Plehang, was ordered to join the third brigade, marched thereupon according to the orders received by them, the first to Tatjocki, the second to Salo, and the third to Brabesadt and Palo, where the army is to halt the day to rest from the excessive fatigues and severe conflicts which the troops have had to sustain. To-morrow the first brigade is to march to Carls to cover the rest, and the 2d and 3d are to proceed to Sikajocki.
Our loss in the above action consists of one officer and sixty-eight rank and file killed, thirteen officers, and eighty-three wounded; and two officers and six men taken prisoners. The enemy's loss is far more considerable, on account of the strong position taken up by our troops, and defended with the utmost intrepidity and valor.
MAURICE CLINGSPOR. SECOND REPORT.
My last report was of the 17th instant, and contained an account of the actions which took place near Yperi, Wirest, and Pyhjocki, and of the army's to Brabesadt. The army halted there the 18th, and arrived on the 18th at Sikajocki, where a considerable action took place, in which the enemy was defeated by your Majesty's troops who behaved in that affair, as they have hitherto done in all others, with the utmost gallantry and valor.
Our loss in this action, in which the enemy was forced to retreat in the utmost disorder, consists on our side in one officer killed and one wounded, and a number of rank and file wounded and slain, which I have not yet been able to ascertain. We have made 265 prisoners, among them one Major, and 4 officers, 3 of whom are badly wounded.—Stockholm Gazette, April 28. Head Quarters, Leimjocki, April 20.
GOTTENBURG, May 1.
Several letters from Carlscrona and Csl. mar, received here to day, state, that the French and Russians, to the number of 10,000 men, have invaded the Island of Gothland. They came over, it is said, in a line of battle ship and several frigates, supposed to be the Russians from Memel and Liebau; 4 000 men were landed on the 22d ult, and 6,000 on the 24th. Such
are the contents of these letters, but we do not give them full credit.
May 2.
Yesterday arrived under convoy of his Britannic majesty's ship Kite, ten sail of transports, laden with military stores, ammunition, &c. for the use of the Swedish government. By accounts from Stromstradt we learn, that a sharp action took place within sight of that town, between 28 Danish gun boats and a small flotilla consisting of only four Swedish ones and a mortar, which continued for four hours, in which time two of the Danes were sunk, and one blown up; the rest made their escape; during the action four 24 pound shots entered the town of Stromstradt without doing much damage. Our accounts from Finland are not very pleasing; it is said the Swedish army have suffered very severely in an action near Brackstadt, and have lost a great number of men and officers; amongst the latter general Hovenhjelm, who was wounded and made prisoner.
In Norway general Arntfeldt had driven the enemy across the Glommen, and stormed and taken one or two forts near Lier, which is not far from Christiania, and was pursuing his advantages.
GOTTENBURG, April 29.
An English man of war has brought here six brigs, three gallions and one sloop, laden with corn and provisions—which were taken at Flastrand, where they lay under protection of the fortress. Four more vessels which refused to go were set on fire; all Danish ships.
A short detail of the engagement near Stromstradt, on the 27th of April last, between 28 Norways coasting vessels, four Swedish gun boats and one mortar boat. At half past 5 o'clock in the morning the said Norway flotilla appeared in company with 6 to 24 pounders. Four of our gun boats, and one mortar boat rowed to meet them about half the way, half a gun shot from the town.
The engagement was begun by our gun boats, and continued under an incessant shower of balls, for the space of one hour and forty minutes; it terminated so that our boats gave the last fire.
In the presence of the spectators, two of the enemy's vessels sunk, with men and everything on board. Three of them they towed away and one was missing which doubtless has been sunk.
This engagement is beyond credibility to those who were not spectators of it, and posterity will consider the account romantic.
On our side there were four killed, and 2 men so much wounded that they died shortly after; seven were slightly wounded.
HOLLAND.
Bonaparte has succeeded in obtaining a body of Danish sailors, sufficient it is said to man two ships of the line. During the last week they passed through Flushing, preceded by a band of music, &c.
The Dutch papers suggest a doubt as to the truth of the report of the truce between the Turks and Russians having been prolonged, in consequence of the Vienna Court Gazette of subsequent date in the letters from thence, which mentioned it, being not only silent upon the subject, but announcing that the Cossacks under Herman Piatk, having to the number of 20 000 broken up from Mahow, and passed the Dneister in several columns. The grand seignor has announced his intention to place himself at the head of his army in the event of a renewal of hostility, and the immense treasure heaped upon the Seraglio since the time of Mahomed conqueror of Constantinople, which has been hitherto sacred to an occasion of the last extremity, is to be opened to aid in the prosecution of the war.
LONDON May 3.
The Prince of Ponte Corvo has had frequent conferences with the new king of Denmark, in which he expressed to him his surprise at the defective state of the military preparations in Zealand even for the defence of the country against England and Sweden; and also at the little progress made in the measures necessary to co-operate with the French & Spanish in the invasion of Sweden. He left Zealand because he did not think himself safe there, if an attack should be immediately made by the combined British and Swedish fleets. He also left his head quarters at Odensee, in Fulmen, and retired to Colding, in Jutland. He is said to have transmitted to Bonaparte some strong remonstrances on the impracticability of conveying his army to Sweden, without the most imminent danger of its being destroyed by the British and Swedish maritime force. But all the answer he received from his master was, that he expected he would send him no more despatches unless they were dated from Stockholm.

Lucien Bonaparte lives in all the seclusion of a private man at Rome, and all the offers of his brother Napoleon to make him a prince, or a sovereign, has been rejected by him—He refuses to acknowledge the latter by his title of Emperor and king, and assigns for reason, that he had power enough, as first consul of France, as a republican, and should have remained true to the cause of republican representation, for which he formerly fought by order of Napoleon. The name of Lucien Bonaparte has been erased from the list of the imperial family.
The fate of the pope and his territories will now probably soon be decided. It is said that at first he would not admit to an audience the French general Miollis, who so gallantly planted the artillery of his army against the pope's palace on his entering Rome. The French minister, it is reported, introduced Miollis without the knowledge of the pope, who then no longer could avoid the interview. He would not speak to the general a single word on the state affairs, but referred him to the cardinal secretary. The French general, instead of kissing his holiness's slipper, only made him a bow; when Pius sarcastically asked him "Scite Catholic Voi?"—"Are you a Catholic?" Miollis answering in the affirmative, the pope gave him the usual blessing.
ABO, March 11. We this day made our solemn entry into this capital, where we met with the most friendly reception, both on the part of the magistrates and inhabitants. All Finland is now taken possession of in the name of our imperial master, with the sole exception of the fortress of Sweaborg, the Gibraltar of the north, which will prove an arduous task to reduce.
The Italian newspapers advise from Zara, that the French fleet, commanded by Admiral Gantheaume, which arrived at Corfu on the 22nd of February, set sail again the following day, but left the ship Commerce de Paris, to refit. The fleet consists of 9 ships of war; it returned afterwards to Corfu, and set sail from thence again the 16th, destined we understand for Africa.
ROME, March 30. On the 27th, General Miollis published the following order of the day. "His majesty the emperor and king Napoleon, testifies his satisfaction with the conduct of the hitherto papal troops. These soldiers not in future receive orders either from priests or women. Soldiers should only be commanded by soldiers. They must be assured that they shall no more return under the command of priests. The emperor and king will give them generals to conduct them who shall be worthy their bravery."
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 6. The armistice between the port and Russia is prolonged for two months. Both powers are already agreed with respect to the principal articles of the peace, through the medium of the French ambassador, General Sebastiani, and the remaining difficulties will be adjusted within the space of two months. The port has consented that the French troops shall march through its territory, and will give other proofs of its esteem and friendship for the great emperor Napoleon.
LONDON, May 3. Wretched state of Ireland. —The hon. justice Day, in a late charge to the grand jury of Tipperary, made the following remarks—"If the calendar be the criminal barometer of the bailiwick—if the state of the jail be no unfaithful epitome of the condition of the country at large—then is the state of civil society in your country deplorable in the extreme. I hold in my hand a paper, which for its size & quantity of matter, resembles more the chart of a country, than a calendar of its jail—an affecting catalogue of our unfortunate fellow creatures, incarcerated since the last assizes, under charges of the deepest atrocity! In truth, it is a downright misnomer, a gross abuse and perversion of language, to say that civil society exists in a country so inundated with crime."
Intelligence had reached our squadron off Lisbon, that the Prince Regent, immediately on his arrival at Rio Janeiro, had entered upon the exercise of his functions as sovereign, and had formed an administration which was approved by the people, who as might be expected, loudly extolled the magnanimity and heroic resolution of the prince. Among the appointments, it was said, that Don Almeida had been appointed minister for the home department; and marquis Bellas, for foreign affairs. An Englishman is stated to have the superintendence of the admiralty; and don Roderic Souza is named to be minister extraordinary to Russia.
A number of ships of war had been ordered to be built immediately; war had been declared against South America; and sixteen millions of Spanish dollars were requisitioned belonging to Spain.
May 4. When Bonaparte was at Bordeaux, the merchants in a body presented a petition to him, praying him to relax the severity of
decrees against this country, for that unless he did, they must be involved in the greatest distress. Bonaparte peremptorily refused, adding, "that what he had hitherto done, was nothing to what he meant to do." A second petition was presented to him, to which he returned no answer.
Extract of a letter from Dublin, of the 4th inst.
"Proceedings of a similar nature to what took place in Galway have been acting in Belfast. The mob rose and dismantled a vessel bound to Derry, laded with oat meal; they burnt the sails and rigging, proceeding afterwards to the market, where they took charge of the sales of corn and potatoes without any opposition; the particulars have been laid before the lord lieutenant. The price of oats at Lisbon is 16s. per cwt. and of oat meal, 82s. per 120 lb."
We understand, that in consequence of representations from many of the northern parts of this country to the Irish chancellor of the exchequer, stating the alarming scarcity of provisions, and stating that the bill prohibiting the use of corn in the distilleries should be extended to Ireland, Mr. Foster has changed his original intention, and that the measure will extend to this country.
We copy the following distressing paragraph from the Glasgow Courier of Tuesday last: "We noticed near three months ago the distress of the inhabitants in the northern parts of this kingdom, from the almost total failure of the last year's crop. We have now to add, from letters that have been shewn us; that, in some parishes the inhabitants had not more than to supply them for a month, from the dates of the letters (4th, 9th, and 11th inst) from the ministers of the different parishes in the North-west Highlands."
ST. ALBANS, June 15. Several days since, a raf was taken by government, and placed under the immediate care of a guard, consisting of twelve men at Windmill bay. A full company of 60 men, were stationed at Windmill point, which commands the passage from this bay to the northward, and likewise the principal channel between this and York side. (The lake being very narrow.) On Tuesday morning last, about day-break, this raf was boarded & fired upon—and in return the troops met with a bold salp of musquetry from the rafsmen, but without injury. They, however, found it impossible to stop them from proceeding—yet it is conjectured, that some damage was done to the persons on the raf, as they were observed to collect together, and carry one or more into the road house.
We are not able to give certain information how these brave men came in possession of the raf, it is, however, stated by a messenger immediately from thence, that the two centals on duty were missing; which gives every reason to suspect them of being bribed to assist in the discharge from the musquets, and securing the ammunition of the whole guard. The authors of this outrage were mustered and collected in the province of Canada—but whether the subjects of that territory, or of the U. S. is yet unknown; and we feel delicate even in forming conjectures, till facts as they really are, can be fairly laid before the public. We do not, however, hesitate to say, with some degree of confidence, that we believe the British government will disavow and discountenance the act. An express has been dispatched to the governor of this state—who, we doubt not, will make proper representations of the matter to the governor of Lower Canada; and likewise, through its proper channel, cause it to be laid before the British minister at Washington.

South America. —A London paper of May 9, says—"An expedition, we understand, destined for South America, is in a state of forwardness. General Berresford, now at Madeira, has been ordered home in consequence of his nomination to the second in command. The commander in chief has not yet been determined on, but it is thought sir A. Wellesley is to receive this appointment.—In the present state of Spain the most favorable event may be expected from this expedition; and the removal of the government of Portugal to the Brazils also affords additional invitations to government for the undertaking it.
Our troops, we understand, are to act in conjunction with those of the Prince Regent; and whether the subjugation of South America to the English, or Portuguese government, or whether a political change merely is to be effected there, is a matter we conceive, of perfect indifference; any alteration in the government of that extensive country would open its trade to us, and would be of the very first importance, particularly at the present period, when we are shut out from almost the entire of Europe."
KINGSYON, Jamaica, May 19.
We are informed that a petition has been laid before the Duke of Manchester, praying that the American vessels lately arrived from the United States in ballast, may be permitted to load with such articles of colonial produce as are allowed in return for the enumerated articles of provisions, lumber, &c. imported into this island in neutrals. We have reason however to believe that such a measure under existing circumstances with regard to America, is by no means the general wish of this community, and the policy of it seems to be very questionable. What British subject is there who could feel insensible on learning that vessels bearing his country's flag, should be obliged, by a mandate of a foreign power, to quit its ports, and in a few weeks after see the vessels of that very government, coming in ballast to load in the colonies of this country, under pretence of taking returns for debts due to the citizens hereof? We hope that the vessels in question will be sent away as they came, in ballast.—We can and ought to prove, particularly at this moment, that our existence does not depend on the United States, as has been improperly stated by some.—Let us therefore act as becometh us on the present occasion—with moderation and dignified firmness.

EXTRACT
Of a report made by a person appointed to enquire into the facts relative to the late aggressions and hostile assemblage of Indians on the frontiers of Tennessee.
On Monday the 2d instant, I proceeded Duck river, and conversed with the mouth of conversation with Famous Moffsatt. Badle man who owned and had command of the boat when it was fired on by the Indians: Mr. Mortimore is intelligent, and I think, a man of veracity; he stated that on the 3d of April, ten miles above the mouth of Duck river the attack was made on the boat by the Indians from the south side of the Tennessee; seven men were in the boat out of which number two were killed and three wounded, the third man who it was said died of the wounds he received, is now on the recovery and out of danger. The Indians kept up a constant fire until the boat was out of reach. They then manhandled a perogue and pursued about two miles but discovering they could not overtake the boat hauled in: Mr. Mortimore further states, that on the 23d of April, Levi Colbert came down the Tennessee to carry up the boat, and informed him, that 30 or 40 miles above the mouth of Duck river, he saw the party of Creeks, thirteen in number, who had made the attack on the boat, and told them he was going for the boat they had fired on; they at first denied it, but a Cherokee, one of the party, acknowledged it. They then confessed, observing they had not been satisfied, that one white man and two Indians had been killed, they now killed one too many, but were not yet satisfied. Colbert was lately in the Creek nation, the chief said he wished peace, and would not go to war with the white people, unless Bonaparte did; that the party who made the attack on the boat had not lived in the nation for ten years, and the attack was unauthorised by the nation. From Richland creek I directed my course to the mouth of Duck river, and
proceeded up that river to the settlement about twelve miles above the mouth, and was enabled to ascertain by information received from Labou Courbes, that the statements made by William Meadows, upon which the orders of the major general of the 20th ultimo are predicated are utterly false.
[Nat. Intel.]
We are advised by our correspondent at Fort Stoddert, on the Mobile, that a temporary embarkation took place at Pensacola & Mobile, about the 26th of April, and continued till the 9th of May, owing, it is said, to the Spaniards firing on, about that time, two armed schooners, the destination of which was unknown.

THOUGHTS ON RELIGION.
Errors and mistakes, however gross, in matters of opinion, if they are sincere, ought to be pitied, but not pushed or laughed at. The blindness of the understanding is as much to be pitied as the blindness of the eyes; and it is neither laughable nor criminal for a man to lose his way in either case. Charity bids us endeavour to set them right by argument; but at the same time forbids us either to punish or ridicule their misfortunes.
Every man seeks for truth; but God only knows who has found it. It is unjust to persecute and absurd to ridicule people for their several opinions, which they cannot help entertaining upon the conviction of their reason: it is he who sets or tells a lie, that is guilty, and not he who honestly and sincerely believes the lie. The object of all public worship in this world is the same; it is the great ETERNAL BEING. man created every thing. A man is by no means subject to ridicule; each thinks his own the best; and I know no infallible judge in this world to decide which is the best.

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME, AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANU- FACTURES: Tending to show that by a due encourage- ment of the essential interests, the na- tion will be rendered more respec- table abroad and more prosper- ous at home. TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Ar- lington, The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large: By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. of Arlington House, in the District of Co- lumbia.
AT a time when the energies of the na- tion seem awakened to the state of our for- eign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a consi- derable share of the public discussion. Cer- tain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign af- fairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, render it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been
after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and con- fidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

FOR SALE, My SEAT in King George county, It lies on the head of one of the branches of Ma- chodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattox Bridge. The situation is healthy, af- fords fine water, embraces the great advan- tages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, na- vigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys re- spectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the ben- efit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improve- ments alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing; some timber for build- ing and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses. The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an over- seer, and customary houses of other descrip- tions—to which are annexed a well laid out productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed. Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved. In the event of the sales of the foregoing lands, I will dispose of some valuable Ne- groes my Plantation utensils, some House- hold and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Poal- setter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my ne- groes, which I shall dispose of in my neigh- borhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be re- quired in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the pur- chaser's own paper, if satisfactorily secured, or approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable mer- chandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHAPIN, Esq. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county. R. W. Ashton. Virginia, King George county, } June, 24th (25) 1808. 2aw3m
