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 in 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 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.

Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO,
A LOT of GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE of GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing some thing less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO,
My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO,
The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

PROPOSALS,
For publishing by subscription, in the town of Alexandria,
A NEWSPAPER,
Three times a week,
ENTITLED
The RECORDER,
AND COLUMBIAN ADVERTISER.
NOTWITHSTANDING the increased number of newspapers in the United States, the subscriber is induced to believe, from the population and commercial importance of Alexandria, that another print will meet with the approbation and support of its citizens. Situated as the town is—on a fine navigable river, with a rich interior to support it, and only six miles from the Capitol of the Union; it must, at no distant period, according to the natural course of events, become a city of wealth and magnitude.
Although our trade is at present cut off from the world by a suspension of intercourse with foreign nations, it is anxiously hoped that the two great contending powers of Europe, who, from an infringement on our rights have occasioned this severe, but necessary measure, will feel the full force of its operation, and be compelled to respect the just claims of the American flag. If however, by their continued aggressions, our government is under the necessity of opposing force by force, we have not a single doubt but the patriotism and valor of the American people will meet the event with fortitude, and sacrifice every private enjoyment to preserve our national independence.
As it is usual, and necessary for an Editor to express his political sentiments, he considers it sufficient to declare—that he is warmly attached to the government of the United States, and a supporter of the present administration.
In undertaking the management of a paper, he is fully convinced of the difficulty of the charge; and would shrink from the task, but for the hope of indulgence from a liberal public.
The Editor will, however, endeavor to give his readers a summary, and occasionally a detail of foreign and domestic news. Political subjects will be attended to; and also, all other matter that may tend to benefit society. Attention shall be paid to the local interests of the town and district; and pains taken to give an early and satisfactory account of the proceedings of Congress.
With this outline of his intentions, he submits these propositions to the citizens of Alexandria for their countenance and support—assuring them, that although the RECORDER is intended to be a firm defender of American rights and principles, its columns shall never with his consent, and while under his control, be made the medium of slander or misrepresentation—and that no exertions shall be spared to make it as useful a vehicle of information as his abilities will admit of.
John Westcott, jun.
CONDITIONS.
The RECORDER will be published on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, on a good white medium paper, and handsome type, at Four Dollars per annum.
Subscribers in town must pay one half on the delivery of the first paper, and the remainder at the expiration of six months.—Those in the country must pay the whole in advance.
The Paper will be delivered at the houses of the subscribers in town immediately after publication, and forwarded in the country by the first conveyance.
If 500 subscribers are obtained, it shall be commenced as soon afterwards as arrangements can be made.

CADIZ, June 14.
Last night, it was notified to the French squadron, that a new battery of 30 36 pounders and 8 24 pounders, was ready to open upon it, within half a cannon shot, in case it should not surrender. This morning, at 7, no answer having been returned, the signal for general action was made on board the prince; upon which, the French surrendered at 8. The officers wanted to fight to the last; but the crews revolted against them, and compelled them to strike. The general of our squadron immediately repaired, in his barge on board the French Admiral's ship, and returned to his own with the French General. The many vessels which were in readiness either to give assistance in case of shipwreck or to remove the crews, in case they surrendered, went alongside the ships of the line, and, in the course of the day, the latter were manned by our sailors, all the French having been previously removed. The seamen have been conducted to the four Towers in the Carraca, the Marines to Puatales, and the Officers on board a ship in the Bay, which has been fitted out for that purpose, and is called Ponton.
Official note of the French admiral to the captain General of Cadiz, at the time of the surrender.
SIR, I am compelled, by the offensive means which you have combined against me, to surrender the ships, without making any further resistance, because I see it is the common interest of both nations that they should not be destroyed.
Although your Excellency had not promised me security for both the persons and the properties of my crews, I place too much reliance upon Spanish honour, and upon Your Excellency's generosity, to be in the least uneasy upon that head.
I wish your Excellency may, at first send but few people to remove the crews, ship after ship, in succession, to prevent the confusion which often takes place upon such occasions.
According to the customs of war, I beg you will enable me, or cause me to be enabled, to dispatch an officer to his majesty the emperor, for the purpose of informing him of these occurrences.
I am, sir, With the highest consideration, Your Excellency's Most humble servant, ROSILLY.
On board the Hero, admiral's ship, In the Bay of Cadiz, June 14, 1808.
MORA, (Portugal) June 10.
Positive intelligence has been received from Lisbon, that almost all the French troops are moving to different points, and that the remainder, with gen. Junot, are fortifying themselves in St. George's Castle, where they have collected provisions and ammunition. Whatever was in the arsenals they have removed to the forts; and it is even added, that they intend to enter into articles of capitulation with the nation. The few troops which were in Evora filed off towards Beyra, and were very near being attacked by the people, in consequence of the threats of the French commander, who was under the necessity of departing without the subsidies which he had demanded. We are informed, that in Beja all the inhabitants are up in arms, only waiting for the signal to attack, and for somebody to head them.
SEVILLE, June 10.
We learn, by several official papers, that the grand duke of Berg has, at the request of the board of government at Madrid, suspended the march of the French troops to the provinces which have proclaimed Ferdinand VII.
D. Manuel Barnuero, lieut. of the Pavia dragoons, who left Madrid on the 8th inst. and joined our army on the 15th, has communicated the following particulars:
The French garrison in Madrid does not amount to 3,000 men. The duke of Berg continued in the Monclova, whence he intended to remove to the Retiro, as soon as it should be fortified. Moncey's division, consisting of 4 or 50,000 men, had marched out of Madrid, making inquiries respecting the roads which lead to several provinces, so that its destination is not known. The division formerly quartered in the Escuriel, which had proceeded against Segovia, and was 6,000 strong, was beaten by the Segovians on the 8th, with a loss of 3,000 men.
One morning, a party of volunteers of Spain who were in Madrid, having given their bait of corn to their horses, the serjeant ordered the saddle and saddle-bags to be put on, and the party to form on the Barley-square. He next mustered them, and ordered them to mount, draw their swords, and sound a march through Toledo-Port-street. The French guard at the gate immediately fell in, and paid them the military honors. The serjeant returned the usual salute, and the party deserted, nor have they been heard of since.
Of the letters by the late Bayonne mail which reached Madrid previous to the above mentioned officer's departure, Murat had not allowed a single one to be delivered, without excepting even those which were directed to individuals of his own army.
A French courier from Manzanares to Madrid, had been intercepted at Madrilejos.
At Manzanares, there were 300 Frenchmen, who, having set out upon their march to Dupont's army, were attacked, in Valdepenas, by the inhabitants—After an action which lasted two hours, and in which they lost 150 men, and destroyed almost all the houses, they withdrew to Manzanares where they have since been captured.
The Puerto del Rey is guarded by about 3,000 men, and 2 pieces of ordinance are conducting to that point.
PROCLAMATION.
FERDINAND VII. King of Spain and the Indies, and in his name, the Supreme Board of government of both empires.
The defence of our king and country, and the happiness of the nation, have been, are, and shall ever be, the only aim of this supreme board; for attaining which, it has used its utmost endeavors, and is unremittingly exerting itself, without minding either trouble or danger. In order, therefore, to provide at once for the one and the other, it enacts, and orders as follows:
I. That the enlisting, which is to take place agreeably to a former proclamation, shall include all male individuals from 16 to 44 years of age; but shall be divided into three classes; the first of volunteers; the second, of batchelors, and married men or widowers without children; and third, of married men and widowers with children, and of the individuals who have gone into the four lesser orders, or necessary attendants in churches.
II. That the volunteers shall immediately begin to move, and march wherever they may be ordered by this supreme board, or by their respective boards, or town councils, in compliance with the dispositions of the supreme board, that, upon their reaching the place of their destination, they shall be incorporated into the old regiments, or formed into separate ones, by order of the respective military commanders who are to bear this disposition in mind; and that these volunteers, either incorporated, or formed into new corps, shall act in every respect like the old corps.
III. That, upon the second call, the second class shall come forward, namely, the batchelors and married men or widowers without children; and that, when at the place of their destination, they shall either be incorporated into the old regiments, or formed into separate ones, after which they shall be held, and shall in every respect act like the old corps.
IV. That, upon the third call which is to take place, only in cases of such extreme necessity, as shall require us all to sacrifice ourselves for the defence of our country, the third class shall come forward, namely, the married men or widowers with children, those who have gone into the four lesser orders, and such servants of churches as are not indispensably necessary for the public worship; and that, upon arriving at the place of their destination, they shall be incorporated or formed into new corps, and shall act like the old ones, as is above ordered for the first and second classes.
V. That the volunteers of the first class cannot plead any exemption; that such as shall be pleaded by individuals of the 2d and 3d class shall be heard, and briefly and summarily decided upon by the respective boards or town councils, and in this capital by the supreme board, without any judicial forms or costs; and that whenever they shall have declared that the exception is not to be admitted, their decision shall be unavoidably received by every individual preserving the right of appealing to this supreme board, which shall pass its decision according to impartial justice: it being understood, that such complaints should be preferred only in serious cases, and for obvious exceptions, and never for frivolous or imaginary ones, the defence of the country, which is in danger, so requiring.
VI. That as nothing ought to prevent the full display of men's zeal for the defence of their country, any one that has re-
ceived the four lesser orders, or any individual of the class whatever; or any man upwards of 45 years old, that may choose to enlist as a volunteer, shall by all means be admitted, and come forward upon the first call, or join those who have presented themselves in compliance with the same.
VII. This Supreme Board cannot lose sight of the gathering of the harvest, so absolutely requisite for the maintenance and happiness of the People, particularly as God has been pleased, this year, to bless us with a most abundant crop; and, therefore orders all the Individuals of the 2d and 3d Classes, to exert themselves, personally and to their utmost, in getting it in, without pleading either rank, or fortune or any other reason, as an exemption, such as are upwards of 44 years old being thus included. Those who shall comply with this disposition, shall be held and declared to have deserved well of their Country; and this Supreme Board expects from the generosity which characterizes all Spaniards, that, instead of availing themselves of the distress of the Country to raise their daily wages to an extravagant rate, they will display, upon this subject, the heroic Moderation which the Country and public happiness require.
VIII. In many parts of the Kingdom, the Women use to cut their corn, and to perform several other works in the fields; and, in all most of them can follow that example: the Supreme Board, consequently, advises and orders them to do it under the circumstances in which we are placed; and it will consider and proclaim such exertions on the part of those who comply, as a most essential service done to the country. All the members of the Secular and Regular clergy can employ themselves in the same manner, thus evincing their love for the king, their loyalty, and the lively interest they take in the public welfare; and their heroic example will lay the people, and the individuals of every class, under the necessity of imitating them.
IX. Such Women as are prevented, by their advanced years, a weak constitution, or other motives, from rendering themselves useful in the above manner shall employ themselves, in making list, and bandages, or other things for the service of Hospitals; and, when made, shall deliver them to their respective Boards or Town-Councils. The latter shall send them, with all possible speed to the Superintendents of our Armies in this Capital; draw up returns of the individuals who shall have done these services and others which have been called for; and forward them to this Supreme Board, which shall afterwards print and publish them that it may come to the knowledge of all, and that every one may receive the tribute of praise and reward, to which his love for his country shall have entitled him.
X. We are going to fight for the defence of our Country and Religion, and by our actions we are to manifest, that we are indeed Spaniards and Christians. This Board therefore, directs the Armies, the Inhabitants of Towns, and Individuals of all Classes to reform their manners, to lead a regular life, and, by the practice of every virtue and continual prayer, to endeavour to appease the just wrath of the Almighty. But above all, they charge and entreat them for the sake of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to avoid all animosities, and dissensions; and that rising above self-interest, they closely unite, and wholly devote themselves to the defence of the King; by which means, this Supreme Board hopes, and indeed is convinced, that God will forgive us and treat us with mercy and that we shall succeed in preserving our Religion, King and Country, the ruin of which our Enemies aim at and would complete, if they should conquer us: a misfortune which this Supreme Board neither does nor can fear.

ORDER OF THE DAY.—June 22.
Soldiers! the light troops of our Van have given a proof of their intrepid patriotism—They reached Cordova by forced marches, and, at that very moment it became necessary to dislodge the enemy from several points. The commandant of the Van considering, that the troops must be tired after such exertions in this hot weather, desired 50 men per battalion, from among those who should find themselves less exhausted, and better able to endure fatigue, to come out of the ranks, of their own accord; when they all, without exception, contended which should go first; and the superior Officers were under the necessity of appointing those who were to form the detachment!
Soldiers! This gallant conduct ought to excite your emulation; and I, who see the martial spirit with which you long to come within sight of the enemy, flatter myself, that you will vie with your worthy com-

sons in this patriotic heroism. You shall soon see, and conquer the enemy. (Signed) CASTANOS. [By the ship Maria , from Falmouth.] LONDON, June 21. The following article appeared in a Dutch paper of the 10th inst. "A camp is to be formed near Berlin of 40,000 French troops. Various reasons are assigned. (The French say to ease the inhabitants.) "A national guard is about to be organized in the Austrian dominions, similar to that adopted in France. A fortress of the first class is to be built in Hungary. "The French minister for the colonies has sent a message to the board of commerce at Bordeaux, ordering that all the vessels bound to the colonies must take on board from 30 to 50 soldiers, according to the size of the vessel, until 10,000 men shall have in this manner been conveyed to the West Indies. "The Spanish guard has received orders to join the army of Bernadotte in Holstein, and had begun its march." It is strongly reported at Amsterdam, that Austria and Russia are about to enter into a very close alliance. We received this morning the following letter from Cork:—"A number of transports arrived at Cove yesterday, to receive the troops forming the expedition, and their embarkation will commence immediately. The 2d battalion of the 7th foot, or royal Irish fusiliers, an uncommonly fine regiment, arrived in the transports, and marched in here yesterday.—This day the 5th battalion of the 60th regiment and the 71st were to embark.—To morrow the 5th and 3d regiments will embark; the latter arrived this day. The embarkation of the whole will be completed on the 17th instant."
Alexandria Daily Gazette.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 25.
Extract of a letter, dated Cadiz, 29th June, to a respectable house in New York, received by the ship Ocean . "The Spanish nation, after having degraded and exhausted itself as the faithful ally of France, has at length made a dignified, patriotic and united stand against their cruel and perfidious oppressor. The villainous designs of Bonaparte are now apparent in marching for the last 2 years flower of the Spanish troops (74,000) into the interior of Germany, and filling Spain with his own hell hounds under the insidious pretext of attacking Gibraltar, Algiers, and Portugal. His real object was to subjugate us. Of this we are now all convinced, and the late kidnapping of the royal family has burst forth the smothered fury of the whole nation into a blaze of indignant patriotism which must destroy the tyrant's hopes and free our country from bondage. How ought the enslaved nations of the continent, how ought the United States of America to sympathize with us in our struggles and to wish success to our heroic efforts to stay the hand of the destroying Angel. The fate not only of Spain, but of the world hangs upon the fortunate powers of our arms. Yet, notwithstanding this obvious policy, an alarming circumstance has lately transpired—the imprisonment of Mr. Young, your consul general, to throw the darkest suspicions upon your government, as being secretly leagued with the treacherous Corsican, to put into the hands of his unprincipled agents, our valuable colonies in America, and wrest them from us forever."
Extract of a letter from an intelligent English Gentleman, dated Liverpool July 9th 1808.
You would be surprised, if you were here to see what little effect is produced in this country by the embargo, any further than a little speculation in the articles which are imported from America; but nothing to make the country feel, which I believe Mr. Jefferson thought we should do when it was laid on, and that we could scarcely exist without trade with America.
The public attention is now absorbed with the great events going on in Spain, and from the spirit shown by the Spaniards there seems a plausible hope that they will oppose a more determined resistance to Bonaparte than he has yet encountered. It was melancholy to look at the state of subjection to which he had reduced every power on the continent of Europe. It was awful to see him prepared with all his force to attack this little Island. If Spain gains her point we must hope it will be the signal of revolt for other countries. And then England will have the glory of having been the only check to the tyrant's ambition for universal monarchy.
From a London Paper. Bonaparte has issued a Decree, which was published at Rome on the 21st ult. abolishing the sovereignty of the Pope; and annexing the whole of the ecclesiastical states to the Kingdom of Italy. The reason he gives for this daring act of oppression, is, that the Holy Father constantly refused to declare war against the English. This event has—we are assured, been for some time expected by his Holiness, and we have been assured also, that he was advised, in case it should at last happen, to excommunicate the French ruler; a measure to which it would not be wonderful if he should actually resort, as it is well known that he has expressed a deep regret that he should have been induced to take a journey to France for the purpose of crowning an Usurper. Indeed this transaction had operated so strongly upon the mind of the Holy Father, that if driven to an extremity, he was confidently expected to resort to such a measure of atonement; and many persons in Rome had begun to speculate on its possible result, in all countries where the Roman Catholic religion is predominant. By the above Decree, all Cardinals, Prelates and other Officers of the Romish Court, born in the Kingdom of Italy, were ordered to return to the place of their birth, before the 5th of this month, on pain of forfeiting all their property.
"The President of the United States has received the most beastly abuse from the unclean animals who scribble for the opposition, because William Duane has been appointed Lieutenant Colonel in the new army now raising. The senseless noodles do not perceive, that instead of injuring the chief magistrate they are severely censuring a number of their own friends. If Duane be really so infamous a man as he is represented to be, it must be disgraceful to serve in the army with him: and yet we have not heard of a single federal officer (and there are many gentlemen of that description of politics in the military service of the United States) who has resigned his commission from disgust at Duane's appointment. "Do you take? Good sirs, do you take?"— Monitor.
A new way of getting rid of federalists. —"As few die and none resign," Mr. Jefferson has devised a new mode of turning federalists out of office, by associating with them blackguards and villains, he strives, to force them out of office by making it disgraceful to remain in, and the little suborner who conducts Madison's Museum , is quite chagrined that the scheme does not take. This deep scheme reminds us of the story of the farmer whose neighbor bored him with his frequent visits and long talks, and not liking to turn him out of his house, upon a certain occasion, when he seemed to have his setting breeches on and became extremely tiresome, knowing his pride, he resolved to force him out by introducing to his presence company not very agreeable to a gentleman. The cook, scullion, little pot boys and all their culinary retinue, which quickly banished his insulted neighbor from his house, and from that time all intercourse between them ceased.
Again—"Are the opposition sure that the President has appointed no federalist to a post in the new army, who is a worse man than William Duane? I would have the gentlemen to con over the list of appointments, and refresh their recollections on that head; and then let us hear from them again."— Monitor.
From this it will appear that his excellency is perfectly excuseable for appointing Duane, to keep some worse men company. In order to palliate the nefarious act of appointing a French hireling and abandoned wretch to be a sentinel of American liberty, some treacherous creatures who could not aspire to the name of federalists, have been placed by his side with a view to silence our murmurs.—"Worse" men than Duane, for the honor of humanity we trust are not to be found even amongst the most depraved & corrupt wretches in the country. But let us suppose even that it were practicable to select from any party his equal in infamy, does it furnish any excuse for the executive in confiding the honor and safety of the nation to the care of bad or the " worse " men in the country. The times call for the best men, at least for men who are not in the pay and employment of those with whom the country is to be involved in war. The less the administration papers say upon the subject the better for them. There is not an instance of executive misbehaviour, or an act of outrage and indignity offered to the feelings of a betrayed and insulted people which they have attempted to palliate or deny, but what they have been put to confusion in the attempt. Witness last of all our celebrated messenger to Europe, the noted Haley. ( Fed. Rep. )
St. Louis, (Missouri) July 12. A singular procession composed of Saukees, Fox and Inways, marched into town on Sunday evening last, singing their death song. Some time ago two or three white men were killed, by a party of these people, the murderers were demanded and given up with a lacry; even the criminals demanded to be
sent in to avert by their blood, the vengeance which hung over their nation. We are informed that the prisoners with their great chiefs and some of their relatives kept up the death song without much intermission during their journey to this place.
Speech of White Skin, the great chief of the Sac nation, to General William Clarke, on the delivery of the prisoners.
My Father.—Here is the man you have so long wanted to see, that killed the white man at Portage de Seux, he was a fool when he did it, I now bring him to you.
My Father.—It has been a long time since you sent Mr. Bollvin to bring us your words, I hope a clear day will come, when all will be good again.
My Father.—I have never closed my ears to your words. I have always been ready to open them to any thing that was good.
Speech of the Crane, principal chief of the Ioway nation.
My Father.—I heard when I started last from your village, my people had done much wrong: I went home immediately and returned with the murderers, and now deliver them to you.
My Father.—When the murderers started from their village they went to war against other Indians, but met with the whites, and the murder happened.
My Father.—I present you with two young boys which I regard like dogs, I throw them at your feet, they are your slaves.
To which General Clarke returned the following answer.
Children Sawkies.—A cloud has for a long time hung over your nation, this day it opens, separates, and I see we shall have a clear sky.
Children, the Sacs, Foxes and Ioways.—Your conduct this day in delivering up the four bad men of your different nations, who have wantonly spilt the blood of the white people, is a clear evidence of your disposition to do justice, to cultivate harmony and perpetuate peace with the white flesh, the citizens of the twenty two great fires of America.
This instance of your good faith, will not be forgotten—it will be told to your great father the President of the United States, who will be greatly pleased to hear that his red children opened their ears to his good words, shews an anxious desire to dispel that cloud which has for several months hung over some of his northern children.
Children.—We are near neighbors, & ought to live together as one family, in peace and friendship, and render one another all the services possible; it is better for us to help one another, than do harm to one another.
Children.—The four murderers which you have delivered up, will be kept in safety and will be kindly treated until they can be bro't to trial, which will be conducted in the same way as if white men were to be tried; and if it is found that the persons are guilty, they will be punished; but, if innocent of the charges, they will certainly be acquitted.
The governor who convenes the courts of justice, is absent a few miles, when he returns, you will be informed the day on which the trial of these murderers will take place; we wish all the great chiefs and warriors who now deliver us those murderers, to be present at their trial, that they may see that justice is done them in equal measure, and in the same manner, as if they were white citizens of the United States.
Children.—I have nothing more to add at this time, Mr. Bollvin will see that you are provided with provision, pipe and tobacco.

PROPHECY, Of Great Events to happen In the years 1808-9; BONAPARTE DEAD, SPAIN (or her colonies) INDEPENDENT.
An extensive Trade opened with them, As well as with Portugal and the Brazils, Our differences with ENGLAND all settled, JEFFERSON & Co. in "dignified retirement"
Disconsolate & in full mourning; The PEOPLE of the United States, Come to their senses, happy and prosperous. Rejoicing at all these things with exceeding GREAT JOY.
As the first event is likely to take place soon (provided he enters Spain) and as it is most interesting to poor suffering degraded, humanity, in every part of the globe, I offer the following just tribute to his memory, relying upon the spirit of the sound part of my countrymen (whatever may be the disposition of our government) to shield me from the fate of PALM, the German printer. The other events above foretold shall receive appropriate and exulting notice in the order in which they may occur.
Imitation of the Epitaph written by Dr. Arbuthnot on colonel Chartres; inscribed (by anticipation) on a GIBBET which will shortly be erected in the PYRENEES, near the GRAT PASS leading from France into Spain.
Underneath this spot Is all that remains of a mighty conqueror, NAPOLEON BONAPARTE; Who, with inflexible cruelty of heart, And unexampled depravity of mind, Was permitted to scourge the earth, for a time, With all the horrors of War: Too ignorant and incapable to do good to mankind, The whole force of his mind was employed In oppressing the weak and plundering the industrious.
His enemies he butchered in cold blood; And, fearing to leave incomplete the catalogue of his crimes, HE REWARDED SPAIN, HIS FAITHFUL FRIEND AND ALLY, WITH A POISONED CHALICE.
Whoever passes this way must be agitated By conflicting emotions: If he be a SPANIARD, he must feel the proud the patriotic exultation arising from the recollection, that it was reserved for his countrymen to rid, at once, the world of a perfidious and cruel monster, and his dear native land from the galling yoke of one of the most treacherous and diabolical fiends which ever disgraced humanity.
If he be a FRENCHMAN, how deeply must he regret the folly and infatuation of Gallia's warlike sons in suffering themselves to be made the blind instruments to gratify the boundless ambition of a rapacious and unprincipled CORSICAN.
He was an epitome Of all that was vicious in the worst of tyrants: He possessed their cruelty without their talents: Their madness without their genius; The baseness of one, and the imbecility of another. Providence at last; wearied out with his crimes Returned him to the dirt from which he sprung After having held him forth on this Gibbet As a warning to the future invaders of SPAIN: This Spot, The only one in our land polluted by his footsteps, Is all that remains to him of his boasted conquests.
STANIARD! Ere you pass by, kneel and thank thy God For all the desolations & abominations which The heroic valor of thy compatriots (thro' his aid) Has repelled far and forever from thy natal soil; Then return into the bosom of thy family And continue in the practice of those virtues By which thy ancestors Merited and received the favors Of the Almighty.

FOR SALE,
My SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Machodock 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, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit 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 improvements 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 building 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 overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—to which are annexed a well laid off 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 Negroes, my Plantation utensils, some Household 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 Foal-getter, 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 negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchaser's own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHAPIN, esqr. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
