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, 25 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 something 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.

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.

From the North American.
MR. PRINTER, AS my father was a poor sort of a man, I was forced, instead of going to school for learning, like other boys, to spend most of my leisure hours at work in a potatoe field, for the support of our family; of course, you know it could not be expected of me to write either a very good hand or good grammar; for which reason I have to ask the favor of you just to print the small bit of a letter below, to the President, and to put straight any blunders, so that his Honor may be able to read and understand it better than my own confused scrawl.
MR. PRESIDENT, Please your Honor, I am a poor Irishman, it is true; but I am not one of those blathering fellows, that, as soon as they set foot on your turf, and feel their tongues free to wag, begin to prate about politics, and pretend to know better what is right or wrong in your government, than those who have been bred and born in the land. No, by my soul I scorn such conduct. Since I came to America, I have considered myself as in the house of a strange gentleman, where I am civilly treated. Then to be sure, would not it be very bad manners in me to be meddling with the management of his family concerns? What I wish to speak to your Honor about is only a little in the way of advice, concerning the embargo. I think now your Honor had better take it off; for I fear, from all I see, feel and hear of it, that it will be after working more harm than good both for your Honor and the country.
If your Honor will have patience with me I will just state a few of the circumstances which occasion my fears. Should your Honor have ever been in Baltimore before the embargo, you may recollect to have seen, at almost every warehouse door, a knot of sturdy fellows hoisting up and lowering down every kind of merchandise, and at the same time singing cheerfully the song of—"Now with a will boy, to heave O!"
May it please your Honor, I was then one of those merry gentlemen; but since the embargo has come amongst us, it has quite put an end to our mirth, and your Honor now may make almanacs on the busiest wharf in the city, without being bothered by any such noise, to put you out of your calculations.
As for myself, after being out of employ until I had only a six-pence left in my pocket, I said to the Embargo, one morning, by my soul I'll be after taking leave of you; so I resolved to push out into the country, to see a countryman of mine, who had often wished me to come out and work for him on his farm. I thought, may be, he could now give me a bit of a job of ditching, or something to keep soul and body together, until better times; but how was I disappointed when I came in presence of my old friend, to find that he had just as much of the embargo-countenance as any I left in the city. After I was seated a while, and had taken a sup of whiskey, I mentioned to him what had bro't me to see him. Arrah, Dennis, says he, you have come too late; had you applied to me before the embargo, I should have been glad to have employed you. The Embargo! said I, and what has the Embargo to do with you here in the woods? Sure you have no ships for it to be meddling with—Just go with me to my barn, replied he, and I will shew you what it has to do with me. So away we trudged to the barn, and when he had opened the door of it, there came out such a swarm of small flies, that they had like to have choked us. And what do you keep those creatures housed up here for! said I. They, answered he, are what I call my Embargo-customers. They have taken off my last year's crop at their own price, and yonder, continued he, pointing to a number of wheat stacks, stands the present year's, which I suppose will come to the same market—Bad luck to the Embargo and all that were concerned in imposing it! As I found the old fellow was getting angry, I thought I would try to soften him a little—so I told him, that I had understood, that your honor by way of encouraging manufactures, had appeared at the seat of government dressed in a suit of home-made clothes; and as farming had turned out to be so bad a business, I thought he had better try to establish some sort of a manufactory. Your honor, he said, might as well have put on your old red breeches—that the people would just follow the fashion as soon. I had much more conversation with my old friend; but as your honor I suppose is beginning to grow tired, I shall not trouble you with any more of it, and shall conclude, like your honor, with tendering the homage of my profound respect.
DENNIS O'GRABME.
FROM THE SAME.
No. III.
SO openly and uniformly have those who govern the United States, manifested their hate of England and their love of France, so deeply is this sentiment felt, and so boldly is it expressed, that in showing its existence, I am only proving what is publicly avowed. The passion is deemed meritorious, and the
man who would deny it to the administration, would probably be pronounced a calumniator, from whose imputations it would be rescued by its friends. Yet I shall mention some other transactions, of a still more serious nature than those already stated, which appear to originate in, and seem designed to promote, that spirit of prejudice which leads to war.
The measure to which I shall first advert, is the act of Congress commonly denominated the non-intercourse law.
This act is a direct attack upon the commerce and manufactures of Great Britain. It cuts off a very important part of her trade with this country, and prohibits the importation from her dominions of a great number of articles in high demand, the introduction of which, from her enemies, is allowed.
It has been said, that this is a commercial regulation, and that we have a right, as an independent nation, to regulate our own commerce.
I mean not to deny the right. Neither can it be denied, that we have a right to make war. I do not refer to this measure, as one in which the government has transcended its power, but as one in which it has exercised its acknowledged rights in a manner extremely hostile to one of the belligerents, and as favorable to the views of the other. It is not to be doubted, that commercial regulations may be so framed pending a war, as to deprive the nation framing them, of its neutral character. A nation has certainly a right to refuse all communication with one neighbor, and to preserve a free trade with another; but the exercise of this right, especially in the midst of a furious exterminating war, could scarcely fail to be deemed an act of hostility.
In explaining the principle of this measure, I shall not depart from that brevity which I have prescribed for myself, further than is necessary to be intelligible.
The states of Europe have concurred in the exclusion of all others from participating with the mother country in the trade of her colonies. This commercial monopoly has become a part of their law of nations. The carriage of colonial produce by the coasting trade, is confined to the vessels of the country. Without examining the abstract justice of this rule, I content myself with observing, that it is a rule which has received the assent of the commercial world.
During the last and the present war, England has acquired such a superiority at sea, as almost to banish the flag of our enemy from the ocean. On the advantage resulting from this circumstance, she founds her principal hope of obtaining a secure peace; and is, of course, peculiarly alive to any measure which may diminish the effects of that advantage.
Disabled by the pressure of a maritime war, from carrying on her accustomed commerce, France has relaxed those restrictions, which in common with the other nations of Europe, she has imposed on her colonial trade; and has called in the aid of neutrals, to waft to the mother country that produce, which, in time of peace, had been carried exclusively in her own vessels.
This state of things produced a contest between Great Britain and the neutral powers. The former contended, that in point of strict right, she might legitimately prevent the interference of neutrals to diminish the effect of her arms. The latter insisted on the right to carry on any commerce, not contraband, to which the government of the nation with which it was carried on would admit them. Without receding from these opposite pretensions, the parties seemed, in practice, to a kind of tacit agreement, to meet on middle ground. Great Britain permitted the circuitous and interrupted the direct trade between France and her colonies.
For a time, landing the goods in the U. States, and reshipping them, was considered in the British courts of admiralty, as evidence of the circuitous trade, but it was soon discovered or alleged, that under this thin veil, a practice prevailed, which was, in effect, equivalent to the real direct carriage of colonial produce to the mother country. The English government thereupon declared, that their tribunals should not be precluded, by this cover, from examining into the fact, and deciding according to the truth of the case. This declaration produced much discontent in the U. States; and at the commencement of the discussions to which it gave birth between the two governments, the non-intercourse law was passed, avowedly as a measure of coercion.
On the policy of this act I shall be silent. I mean only to remark on its hostile aspect towards Britain.
The two nations differed on a principle on which each claimed to be in the right, and neither could justifiably impeach the sincerity of the other. Under such circumstances, it is usual to resort, in the first
instance, to negotiation, and if it be found impracticable to effect an amicable arrangement of the matter in controversy, then, and not till then, is it customary for the aggrieved nation to do justice to itself, and to adopt those measures of reprisal which, in its own opinion, the exigency may require. A resort to coercion in the first instance, unless the offence had been so great and so serious as not to admit of negotiation or unless it be in the case of some conqueror, who, in the insolence of power, forgets right, was, I believe, without precedent in the history of civilized Europe. Nothing could be more indicative of an ill disposition to be on friendly terms with the nation against whom the measure was directed.
This hasty and violent step on the part of the United States, was the more remarkable, as, in our intercourse with the mother of Britain, we had not only forborne to do justice to ourselves, but had been signally moderate in our conduct under injuries which were unquestionable in their nature, and weighty in their degree.
This act was denied to be a measure of hostility. In its character it is completely so. Whether we consider its motive or its object, it is an act of reprisals; and if we reflect on its operation, on the nature of the existing war, and on the views of the belligerents at the time, it is not only an act of reprisals, but is of a nature peculiarly offensive.
It is obviously the opinion of the enemies of Great Britain, that the resources which enable her to prosecute that war which she now wages for her existence, are derived from her extensive commerce. As these resources are impaired, her means of defence are enfeebled, and the probability of her being able to preserve her own liberty, with the loss of which ours must perish, is proportionably diminished. Acting upon this opinion, the tyrant of the continent, in a course of violence and oppression to which man in no other period of his history ever submitted, has endeavored to annihilate their commerce. In those countries to which his power extends, he has carried this system into execution with a vigor which has reduced millions to poverty, and where his power is not yet felt, his influence has been exerted to produce a co-operation in this favorite plan, the success of which to confirm him the master of the world.
That the opinion entertained on this subject by the emperor of France, is also entertained by those who rule the U. States, has been repeatedly and publicly avowed. It has been assigned as an inducement to the measures which have been adopted, and the authors of those measures have openly vaunted, that their system would soon bring Great Britain to their feet.
This act of reprisal then, made, contrary to usage, while a doubtful claim was under discussion, is understood by France, to be a most vital blow aimed at the maritime power of Great Britain. It is aimed at the time when she is struggling against the greatest potentate in the universe, for her existence. It is calculated to disable her from prosecuting a contest, on the event of which depends the question, whether it shall be an empty sound or a substantial good.
The tendency of such a measure, the hostile spirit in which it originated, and the influence under which it was adopted, will be perceived by all who reflect on public transactions.

FROM GIBRALTAR PAPERS.
A spirited Circular Address to all Spaniards has been issued from the city of Madrid, dated June 22—urging upon the citizens that every thing in their patriotic efforts depends on Union; and calling upon the citizens which have a right to vote in the Courts, to elect representatives to a Supreme Council to act in the name of Ferdinand; and that the captains General should form a similar Council. This address is signed by Count de Canamos; Jose, Bishop of Calahorra; Count de Florida Blanca; Jose, Count de Egueta; Julian Jose de Betancourt; M. Marquis de Espinardo and Arenas; the Archdeacon of Villena; Vicente Escribano; Count de Campo Hermoso; Antonio Font Abat; Marquis del Villar; Antonio Fernandez de Sto Domingo; Viscount de Huerta; Luis Santiago Balb; Francisco Lopez de Aguilar; Jose, Count de Calahorra.

SARRAGOSSA, (Arragon) June 16.
Yesterday those proud Frenchmen who presumed to attack this capital were overthrown. 700 were killed, a considerable number wounded, 30 prisoners taken, and many deserters joined us. We captured 8 battalion pieces, six stand of colours, and

military chest, a number of horses, and a quantity of arms and ammunition. We confidently expect that the whole army which has entered Arragon will be utterly defeated.
SORIA, June 18.
The French had lost between 5 and 6000 men in the actions of Tudela, Mallen, Gallur and Alagon, and the remaining 12,000 had orders to enter Saragossa. They were all put to the sword. We have taken 400 horses, and 27 waggons of ammunition.
TORTOLA, June 9.
Two hundred Spanish and Walloon guards with many manufacturers have arrived here from Barcelona, and enlisted for the patriots. Yesterday they were joined by as many more. Latterly Spanish soldiers, who refuse to fight with the French at Barcelona, are shut up in the citadel. Many young men have been cut off, and some chained by their necks to be carried to France. 6000 of the inhabitants are said to have escaped from Barcelona.
GIBRALTAR, July 8. —Arrived, Mary, Rice 17 days from Malaga for London.
BARCELONA, June 7.
The state of affairs in this Province is growing more and more interesting every moment; while this capital can take no share because its fortresses are in the hands of the French. They commit all manner of excesses for the purpose of overawing the people. Three inhabitants were shot, charged by a soldier with encouraging desertion. We learn that at the foot of Montserrat, in a farm house called Masana the inhabitants of Manresa and several other places, opened such a fire upon the French division which sat out from this for that town, that they put it completely to the rout, with the loss of many killed and wounded, and took its whole train of artillery excepting one howitzer. This evening carts are coming in loaded with wounded Frenchmen.
This day at noon, 1000 French horse and foot, marched out; but they have already returned in a panic. A short time since a strong division of the best troops have went out from this, and not one remains. Two divisions left here—one for Tarragona and the other for Manresa. The latter fell into an ambush at Bruch, where the revolutionists had erected two batteries. The peasantry have dug holes on the roads towards Madrid, to impede the French cavalry, and cut down trees to obstruct the infantry.
Yesterday morning the armed inhabitants of Bruch attacked the French—and it is supposed 2000 were killed. The inhabitants were directed by a priest, who held a sword in one hand & a crucifix in the other. The castle of St. Ferdinand will be starved into surrender.
Manresa, Vich and Lerida, are in a state of defence, and the armed inhabitants of Gerona have taken possession of all the forts.
PROCLAMATION
Of the Spanish Ladies at Alicante. The government has as yet offended the fair sex—and many there are among us who cannot contain their resentment. Are we not useful for any thing in the present occurrences? Would they refuse our employing ourselves in the labors suited to our sex? Our honor is called in question, and we require entire satisfaction. How can you repair our wrongs? Employ us immediately in those decent occupations which can alleviate, give assistance, and support our brave Warriors.

The officers of government obtained information previous to her departure that an attempt would be made to run the sloop out in defiance of all authority. An attempt was made to prevent her departure, but the officers in the discharge of their duty, were beaten with sticks and fired upon from the sloop. A boat with several men
went along side of the sloop, to be informed of her destination; they were insulted; and in consequence of the resistance made by those on board, the officer commanding the boat thought proper to retire.
A schooner was immediately dispatched in pursuit of the sloop, on board of which was a number of the United States troops, and several citizens, who patriotically volunteered their services to bring her back; and after a pursuit of ten hours, brought her too, and took possession of her; the men concerned in this affair against the laws of the land, had, in general, left her previous to her surrender—several, however, remained on board when she was taken possession of.
(Newburyport Statesman.)
To those persons who doubt the success of the Spanish patriots against the tyrant of Europe, we recommend an attention to the history of France in the years 1792-3 and 4; she had then the whole of Europe united against her, at the same time that very serious divisions reigned in her own bosom. Spain is opposed by the most powerful European monarch, but the same spirit of enthusiasm which saved France, operates with equal if not superior force upon the patriots who have now risen against Bonaparte, and their zeal is not counteracted by any internal divisions. When the duke of Brunswick marched into France in 1792, the politicians of Europe regarded his success as inevitable, and those who wished well to the revolution gave up the cause for lost. Yet he was forced to retreat.
(Fed. Repub.)
The towns of Boston, Newburyport, Beverly, Wenham, Bradford, Hamilton, Ipswich, Gloucester, and New Bedford, in the state of Massachusetts—Providence, in Rhode Island—Portsmouth, in New Hampshire—and Portland, Bath, and Hallowell, in the District of Maine, have petitioned for the removal of the embargo. In this list we recognise some towns which for many years have been decidedly democratic. In Portsmouth the majority has usually exceeded the rate of two to one.

COMMUNICATION.
About twelve months past, every one must recollect, what a handle then was made of the British frigate Chichester's passing Fort Nelson without saluting the flag of the United States: although it was well known that the British agent here sent a written apology to the commander of Fort Nelson (previous to her passing) stating her leaky and distressed situation, so much so, that it was with difficulty they could keep her free. Now, Mr. O'Connor, the object of this is to know of these impartial gentlemen who made such a fuss and stir about the Chichester (in distress) passing the fort without a salute, what sort of an apology they will make to the public for one of Napoleon's vessels of war, the Sarvillante, passing the same fort in good order and well conditioned, without saluting or even condescending to send any notice to the commander of the fort of his intention to pass it.
A NATIVE CITIZEN.
Norfolk, August 23.
From "THE STATESMAN," a democratic paper just established at Newburyport.
The question has been frequently asked "what is your opinion of the Spanish Revolution?" To this question we are ready to make answers which every true Republican will approve.
We believe that the emperor Napoleon has violated every principle of justice, magnanimity and honor, in his late attempt to humble the Spanish nation to dependence on his will.
We believe the cause the Spaniards have espoused is as good, as was that which actuated the American people in their revolutionary contest; and that the God of Heaven will smile upon and prosper their exertions.
We believe that Great Britain has no honorable motive in aiding the Spaniards, but that she is prompted by no other incitement than self-preservation.
We believe the emperor of France has no honorable design upon any government, save what he himself dictates.
We believe that every American will concur in these opinions, and be convinced of the necessity of uniting in support of our independence, lest the arts of foreign partizans reduce us to dependence.
THE EMBARGO PERPETUAL.
From the Newbury Port Herald.
The following anecdote is of some importance to be known. A democrat of New-Hampshire who has sustained important offices in that state; and who corresponds with the President and heads of departments; informed a gentleman very lately, that he had received within a week a letter from the President.
The administration (he said) had determined to withdraw our commerce from the ocean until a peace took place between Great Britain and France. That the President would not suspend the embargo, either totally or partially although every town in the U. States should petition that the plan of administration had been deliberately settled and should not be altered—that the administration found no difficulty in forming a treaty with England, except in the fear of Bonaparte—and that they would not enter into a treaty even if the government rescinded their orders in council, and placed our commerce upon the same footing as their own; and that this state of things would continue for TEN years, if the war continued so long. The President apprehended that after a few years the people would be in the habit of using domestic manufactures, and be content to live without commerce.
The following speech of Mr. Canning on the motion of Mr. Sheridan respecting the Spanish patriots, is important, as it unfolds the intentions of the ministry with respect to Spain, as far as they have been formed.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 15.
Mr. Secretary CANNING supposed, from what had fallen from the right honorable gentleman, he had meant to convey an idea that the government were pledged to support the motion he had just made. This was altogether impossible; some of the papers had not even been officially communicated to government yet, and some of those persons alluded to were not as yet known to be authorised. He feared not so much good was to be derived from the inquiry which had been set on foot, although he (Mr. S.) seemed to promise himself so much advantage to the cause of this country, and of Europe collectively. He approved of the conduct pursued by him, in not chalking any direct line of conduct for his majesty's ministers to act upon. It would have been a rash and thankless office. The discussion he had perhaps created, solely to draw forth the sentiments of ministry. They could not, he avowed, behold without anxiety and hope, the noble struggle in which Spain would perhaps be engaged. However, the issue was altogether uncertain.—They wished to support and maintain the integrity of Spain, to give her aid and supplies; nor should it be found that at any period G. Britain would ever, while he partook of any share of power, consider Spain or any other country contending with France for its independence, as our enemy. There were three duties laid on ministers—1st, to direct our efforts to make head against the common enemy—2d, to consult on the best means of effecting this in the present instance on the part and for the interests of Spain—and lastly, to ensure the protection and security of the British interests. These had been the points judiciously marked out for observation by his right honorable friend, with so much ability and candor; but as their conduct must inevitably be regulated by circumstances, councils and the national feeling, he thought it only judicious in ministers not to bind themselves to any particular species of policy, by that which all must, under the present circumstances, conclude to be a most imprudent and rash avowal.
CATHOLICS OF IRELAND.
The number of Irish members in the minority, on the Catholic question, was 40, of whom 30 represent the 30 counties of Ireland, and 3 the great cities of Dublin, Waterford, and Cork. The number of Irish members in the majority was 37, of whom 27 were county members. The divisions in May, 1805, on the same question were, in the house of lords, for it 51, against it 178—majority 127. In the house of commons, for it 124; against it 386—majority 212. The divisions in the two houses, upon the same question, last week, were in the lords, for it 74; against it 161;
majority 87. In the commons, for it 128; against it 281—majority 153. It thus appears that the difference between the divisions of 1805 and 1808, amounts in the lords to 40 in favor of the question, and to 59 in the commons. When it is considered the cry of "No Popery" has intervened, and attempts have been made to revive religious animosities, this growing sentiment in favor of the Catholic claims, may appear at first blush almost incredible; but it is in fact nothing more than the natural progress of truth operating upon the human mind, an effect which the late able discussions in Parliament cannot fail to materially improve.
Some protestant landed proprietors and inhabitants of Queen's county Ireland, at whose head appear lord Stanhope and De Vesci, have come forward with a most liberal declaration in favor of the catholics of Ireland, in which they notice, that born in the same land, and intermingled in the ties of blood and citizenship, they conceived them entitled to the full benefit of Christian love and the blessings of the constitution.
We know not that any Englishman a friend to the true interests of his country, can facilitate himself on the rejection of the Catholic claims by the Legislature; but there is one man in Europe who will hail this ill advised measure with exultation, and will endeavor to make use of it as an instrument to separate England and Ireland forever—that man is Napoleon—for tyrant as he is, he has too much policy to let any man's religion prevent him from serving his country. His question is not, what is a man's creed, but what is his capacity?
Every body recollects how condescending and polite the Pope has been to "his dear son," the emperor Napoleon; and what a long journey he took to consecrate his coronation. He has now met his reward; and this "Holy Father" has, under a stale and paltry pretext which any tyrant can invent, been deprived of all his territories, and been banished Rome, by this same "dear son." So much for politeness and condescension to Bonaparte. [Boston Centinel.]
DOMITIAN ordered a petty-fogging attorney of the name of Lupus, who had amassed an immense fortune by sowing the seeds of litigation, and suborning witnesses, to be drowned in the Tyber. One of his clients calling upon a lawyer of fair character to engage him in his cause, the lawyer read it over and coolly said—"What! do you think I can swim better than Lupus?"

The Religious Denominations in general, but to the Methodist Episcopal Church in particular.
PROSPECTUS
OF A WEEKLY PUBLICATION, TO BE ENTITLED THE RELIGIOUS REPOSITORY. BY W. A. RIND, Georgetown, Dist. of Columbia.
THE Editor begs leave to offer this Work to the attention and patronage of the Methodist Society in particular, not only because it is thought proper to give it a decided character, but because the Connexion at present have no religious vehicle of the kind, nor have they had since the discontinuance of their Magazine, which was published some years ago.
Both the Presbyterians and Episcopalians have under their patronage monthly publications devoted to the same subjects proposed to be embraced by this work.
The Editor, however, flatters himself that this publication will possess some advantages over those that are only issued monthly, in furnishing earlier religious intelligence, and he hopes it will afford greater satisfaction to Readers in general, as in such works the same subjects and accounts are continued in a series of numbers.
But since this work is to be devoted to the interest of religion, both in its doctrine and experience, and will likewise include the subject of morality, we think it entitled to the greater attention; and we wish it to be distinctly understood, that as it has for its object the diffusion of religious information, the subject of Politics will not be introduced.
In the scripture sense of the term, RELIGION embraces not only what we are to believe, but more especially what we must experience of its great truths in our hearts — MORALITY implies not only that men should do no harm, but that they should be actively and zealously engaged in acts of benevolence and works of righteousness. It would then appear that Religion consists in what we believe and experience, and Morality in that Faith and Experience reduced into practice. True Religion and Morality go hand in hand, and mutually support each other: Where there is not Morality, there cannot be Religion, and we are disposed to think likewise that there cannot be genuine Morality without Religion. Instead then of drawing our ideas of Morality from principles founded on natural right, let us look to a higher source — to RELIGION — and to that Religion taught by our Lord Jesus Christ. RELIGION alone has power to persuade with celerity, because it excites passion while it informs the understanding — because it alone has the means of rendering obvious what it recommends — because it speaks in the Name of God, and it is easy to inspire respect for him whose power is every where evident to the eyes of the simple and discerning — to the eyes of children, and men of mature understanding.
It will be expected that the religious part of the Community in particular will patronize a publication of this kind. It claims the attention and support of religious denominations of all descriptions, not only as subscribers, but as contributors of Essays and Communications on the subjects it proposes to embrace. Almost every political publication has met with generous patronage — and to such, religious characters have not failed to contribute their part. But while they have thus aided in diffusing political information, they will not surely reflect on their profession, by withholding from this their influence and support.
But we think this work forcibly recommends itself to the attention of the enlightened Politician. That man does not deserve the name of Politician, who is unconscious of the influence of Religion and Morality upon the good government and happiness of society. Weak, indeed, are the restraints of human laws, and honor, unaided by the obligations and precepts of Religion, upon the ambition and avarice of wicked men. Without the influence of Religion, these passions may be expected to triumph over the law and every principle of justice.
The "Religious Repository" will be a collection of original and well selected pieces on Religion and Morality, and will serve likewise to record the revivals of Religion, particularly at Camp-Meetings, and also to preserve a short account of the Lives, Sayings, and Deaths, of eminently pious Characters — and thus shall we "gather up the fragments, and nothing will be lost."
In addition it will contain select and original pieces of Natural History, together with instructive and pleasing Anecdotes.
The Editor has already engaged the assistance of his religious friends, as well of the Ministry as others; and he particularly requests the Travelling and Local Preachers of the Connexion to forward to him, from time to time, such Communications as may be embraced within the general objects of the work.
