NOTICE.—Whereas Mr. James Fisher, by a deed executed on the first day of July, 1808, and recorded in the county court of Henrico, has assigned to the subscriber as trustee, for certain of his creditors therein named, the whole of his estate of every description, (except his household furniture, and some few debts transferred by him as trustee, subsequent to the execution of said trust, as will more fully appear by a reference to the schedule annexed to said deed) consisting of some Lots in the city of Richmond, together with all his bonds, notes and accounts.—This is therefore to give notice to the debtors of the said James Fisher, that all judgments obtained while the money has not been paid, all suits now depending in the courts of this commonwealth or elsewhere, all monies in the hands of attorneys, sheriffs, or others, which may have been collected by virtue of any suit, action or demand of the said James Fisher; that he is the only person authorized to receive such debts and demands and grant such acquittances and make such compromises as he may deem most advisable for the interest of said creditors.
A hope is therefore cherished, that every effort on the part of said debtors, will be made, in order to a settlement of their balances, and every indulgence will be given by him to those who manifest such a disposition.
And whereas it is stipulated by the contracting parties to said deed, that certain creditors of said James Fisher, who from absence or other causes, could not signify their wish of becoming parties thereto, now, be it understood, that if they do within sixty days, from the said first day of July, 1808, sign the said deed, that in that case, they are to be considered entitled to their rateable proportion of such money as shall be collected from the sale of property and collection of debts; otherwise, if they do not, within the time specified, make known their determination by subscribing to the terms agreed upon in the said trust, that he, the said trustee shall pay over such sums as they would have been entitled to if they had acceded to the same James Fisher.

ADVERTISEMENT.—Whereas James B. Risque, of Botetourt county, [Lawyer] did undertake to prosecute sundry suits and indictments for Joseph Lyell, Robert Lyell, Jonathan Lyell, and Joseph Lyell, jun. against John Redd, Jesse Maupin, Joseph Alexander, Joseph Bolding and James Dyer, for a breach of the law, for which the said Joseph Lyell and Robert Lyell agreed to give the said Risque one hundred and fifteen dollars, paid twelve down the 15th day of April, 1807, to pay fifty the 15th day of the next term, September, when the indictment was to be tried, but never appeared. Fleming Saunders having got our bond in his possession for about sixty dollars, (as it is reported) and demanded pay, or said he would bring suit immediately, we paid fifty dollars more, which made sixty-two, leaving a balance of fifty-three upon the note unpaid. As Risque has deceived us, and Fleming Saunders has got a strong party in favour of John Redd, it is granted, that our government, or the blessings of Liberty, cannot be preserved but by a firm adherence to Justice, moderation and virtue. O Virtue, where art thou? Down! Once our favorite, when struggling for the dearest of all rights, life, liberty and property, that we might sit under our vine and figtree, none to make us afraid; but what have we not received? They came to our house and beat us, and broke open doors, and took possession, contrary to law, or every principle of justice; and as we are constrained to petition the honorable general court to move the said suits to some other district court, and the parties concerned may take NOTICE, That a Petition will be presented the first day of November term; and this is farther to forewarn all persons from taking an assignment of our bond from Fleming Saunders, or any body else, as we are determined not to pay it. We shall be obliged to any person, that if James B. Risque has left any papers of ours, they will send them to us.

NEWS RELATIVE TO SPAIN.
As so much is said of the more valuable part of the kingdom of Spain, that which lies in America, we take the liberty to give the last and the best statement of the administration of the Spanish colonies. These are in eleven governments, four of which are Viceroyalties. The first is the Viceroyalty of Mexico and includes 23 provinces. The government of New Mexico lays north of it, and has St. Fe as its capital, and several forts and settlements. The third government is that of Florida. The fourth of Guatemala with six provinces. The second Viceroyalty, that of New Granada, includes five military & seven political governments. The sixth is the Province of Venezuela and Caracas. The Viceroyalty of Peru has 10 provinces. The kingdom of Chili has 18 provinces. The Viceroyalty of La Plata was the scene of the late English war in South America. To these we add the government of Cuba, and that of Porto Rico, including Margareth and the Bahama Islands. St. Salvador, and we might add the settlements upon the North-west coast of America, and of the Falkland Islands. We have had particular accounts only from Cuba, the largest Island in the West-Indies. It was discovered early, but it is not quite a century since its European settlements have become profitable. It was taken by the English in the war of 1762 and restored. Thirty years ago its population was reckoned at 170 thousand, of whom one sixth part were slaves. The population since that time is nearly doubled. Havana so well known in our commerce, was reckoned to contain nearly the same population as Boston. The Island extends according to the Spanish tables from 291, 10, to 303, 20, which is above a degree beyond what our common tables allow, which give a line of 600 miles. The Island rises towards the north in the middle, and gives about a mean width of 60 miles. Havana lies in 23, 10, N. L. and 293, 45, S. P. Long. Or according to Mr. Bowditch 33, 9, N. L. and 82, 19, for the Moro Castle, reckoning the Longitude from Greenwich and Ferro with difference of 18, 44, ...Salem Register.
Extract of a letter from a Lady in Madrid to her Brother in Dublin, dated May 5.
Words cannot describe the horror with which we have been surrounded since the first of this month; the approaching storm was expected; but on the 2d, immediately after breakfast; it broke out in the most furious manner. Our friend T. had provided a retreat at his country house, about 8 miles distant, to which we were to remove that very evening, but the storm overtook us, and stopped our journey; the thunder of the artillery announced the beginning of the business, and in a few minutes after the whole male population of the city appeared in arms; wherever a French soldier was discovered, he was instantly cut down or shot; six of them were put to death under our windows; the scene was dreadful beyond description; after two or three hours carnage, particularly in our great street called Alcala, a reinforcement of Frenchmen poured in the town, and in their turn became the assailants; our doors were burst open by the defeated populace, and seven or eight of the inhabitants took refuge under the couches and in different parts of the house; but the French soldiers followed them, and in my presence they most unmercifully bayoneted those who had first entered the room, where I and my children sat shivering with horror. The presence of a young French officer protected us, and he had the humanity to continue with me in the house the entire of this fatal day, to which I certainly owe the lives of myself and children. All night the inhabitants were forced to illuminate their windows, and fifteen dreadful looking fellows took entire possession of the lower part of the house; they soon broke open the cellar which they plundered, nor could the presence of the friendly officer I have mentioned prevent them. The following morning was indeed a scene of horror. Almost every person that passed thro' the streets was stained with blood, and the dead bodies lay in heaps: it was reported and I believe with some truth, that Murat, the French General, intended to erect some works outside the town, to batter it to the ground, in revenge for the lives of his soldiers. This, however, he abandoned. The next day, when the tumult had a little subsided, T. and I got some articles of plate, and the books of the house, and through the intercessions of our French friend, were suffered to remove to his residence at Ombro, where we now are with the children."
Out of nineteen empires, kingdoms and Principalities, into which Europe appears geographically divided in 1788, Bonaparte and his family are now, 1808, actually in possession of eleven! The population of these countries is estimated at 69,500,000 persons, and the armed force at 925,000. It ought to be observed, that Prussia and Denmark also, which are nominally governed by their ancient princes, are controlled by France; and that Russia and Austria, humbled by the late contest, dare not oppose any of the measures of the French emperor. It is further worthy of remark, that when England declared war, in 1793 every state of Europe was in arms against France; at the present moment, every state in Europe, with the exception of Sweden, is confederated against England....Lon.

ACCESSION OF JOSEPH BONAPARTE TO THE THRONE OF SPAIN.
PARIS, June 17.
The Bayonne Gazette, of the 13th of June contains the following proclamation: Napoleon, by the grace of God, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, to all men, to whom these presents shall come, sends greeting:
The Junta of the state, the council of Castile, the city of Madrid, &c. &c. having notified to us by their addresses, that the well-being of Spain requires a speedy step to be put to the provisional government, we have
resolved to proclaim our well beloved brother Joseph Napoleon, the present King of Naples and Sicily, to be King of Spain and India.
We guarantee to the King of Spain the independence and integrity of his states in Europe, as well as in Africa, Asia, and America; charging the lieutenant general of the kingdom, the ministers and council of Castile, to cause this proclamation to be expedited, and publicly announced according to the usual custom, that none might plead ignorance hereof.
Given at our Imperial Palace at Bayonne, the 6th of June, 1808. (Signed) NAPOLEON. B. H. MARET, Minister of State.
SPANISH NEWS.
Translated from late Spanish Papers, for the Boston Gazette.
VALLADOLID, May 21.
A great quantity of artillery and 20,000 muskets have been drawn from Segovia and the city Rodrigo.
All is rapidly organizing here, the enemy is absolutely cut off, and the communications between Bayonne and Madrid completely stopped; such has been the vigorous and well concerted plans of that great man, the immortal Cuesta, who is at our head.
ZAMORA, May 31.
The exaction of 154,000 reals destined for Madrid by order of the tyrant Murat, has been prohibited, and for greater security a formidable guard is placed over the treasury. It is said the French intend making a movement with part of the army from Madrid, but who can believe they will be so imprudent? Where can these miserable people go without being routed? The people of Madrid will not lose a moment in throwing off the yoke, in spite of a number of vile adulators who are attached to the court and ministry.
After the ceremony of swearing allegiance to Ferdinand 7th, at Granada, 200 persons repaired to San Geronimo to celebrate the event. On their receiving the information of the arrival there of the governor of Malaga, they immediately seized him, and placed a respectable guard over him to prevent any outrage to his person. As this visit was suspicious, at the petition of the people, the mail was examined and two letters were found from Napoleon and Murat to this wretch, naming him general of the four kingdoms of Andalusia, and giving him hopes of a speedy assistance of fifty thousand men, which were to be added to those already employed in the subjugation of Spain. Hardly were the people informed of this iniquity, when they rushed upon him & murdered him with every kind of arms, dragged him thro' the city, & after tearing him in pieces, burnt him to ashes. The magistrates have condemned this conduct of the people, and are taking measures to prevent such atrocities in future.
LERIDA, May 31.
Here no order of Murat is obeyed. We are disposed to unite with the Arragonians; we have men and discipline. Bonaparte has nothing to hope from our deputies at Bayonne; for many days not a maravedi has been permitted to be taken from the treasury. All the neighborhood is fired with enthusiasm, but keep order and respect the authorities.
VALENCIA, June 7.
We are advised of the departure from Cartagena of a large train of artillery, and that they have sent to our aid 15,000 muskets. Today we expect the arrival of 1200 of the Spanish guards, who have withdrawn from the service of the enemy.
June 10.
Our negotiation with Great Britain presents to us a fruitful field for mercantile and political speculations. The cabinet of St. Cloud will not fail to charge England with our revolution and have subtlety and sophistry enough to deny that their perfidy and crimes alone have been the cause of our independence.
We know that the peasantry of Manresa have put to the sword the whole body of troops commanded by General Lechi, second in command of the army of Catalonia, a man of ferocious character.
June 14.
We are certain there no longer remains a single soldier of the French army in Tarragona, and that the division destined for that place received an order to pass immediately to Bruch to reinforce that of General Lechi, who is totally discomfited by the valor and dispositions of the brave Manresians.
We are assured of the death of Gen. Dupont in the attack of the Sierra Morena.
In Coruña the French engineer charged with the review of the magazines of artillery has been seized, and at the same time possession taken of the park of artillery, with the magazine of arms. A remittance of money that had been sent to Murat the day before, was likewise stopped.
The agreeable information has been received from Lugo and other cities of the province, of their declarations for our beloved Ferdinand, and they ask of us arms and cannon which shall be given them immediately, since from a happy circumstance our park and magazines are filled with them. In the city of Lugo and its province alone, 60,000 men have enrolled themselves. Our troops amount to 90,000 men; and among the various donations of consequence which have been offered to maintain this army, that of Cabildo de Santiago is worthy mentioning. He presented immediately, seven millions, promising besides to deliver monthly for the public service, the third part of his income. Who could refrain from tears to see our old men snatching from the hands of their sons the hoe & the spade, & placing in their stead the bolts of vengeance and the sword of liberty?
June 17.
Our chiefs have already gone to occupy different posts; in a short time we shall complete three respectable armies. Almanza, Tortosa and the Contreras, will be the theatre of our arms unless the enemy should be
absolutely reduced to a state of impotence. All their plans can only be directed to a disgraceful retreat.
The day before yesterday arrived here a magnificent and numerous train of artillery to reinforce one of our armies on the frontiers.
PAMPLUNA, June 6.
The French in this city have received a reinforcement of 5,000 men. Almost all the young men have left the city to avoid being forced from their country, and united with the French army.
SEVILLE, June 7.
Battalions are entering at every moment to join the army. We judge that we have 110,000 men under arms. The raising regiments of Cavalry and Infantry, is still continued. It would be degrading to the general enthusiasm to attempt a description of it.
We are assured all this army, united with the troops of the line, where many, will depart for the frontiers under the orders of General Morla de Castanos. Divisions of the Cavalry, Artillery and Pioneers have already marched.
June 8.
A company of Cavalry has been raised in this city from the most distinguished class of our citizens. Room cannot be found to quarter the men who present themselves for the service of their country.
Donations are very great. An individual, Don N. Vasquez, has offered a regiment of Cavans. A citizen of Utrera has given 6,000 sanegas of wheat, 6,000 of barley and 40,000 dollars to be repeated annually. We should never finish, were we to attempt the relation of all the noble sacrifices made by the inhabitants.
GUADIX, June 1.
We follow the general motion of the whole nation; and already 1500 men have gone from this city to join the army of Granada. Some deserters from the French Cavalry have arrived, who inspire us with the greatest pity.
MADRID, June 12.
General Morla has summoned the Duke of Berg to restore Ferdinand 7th to the throne of Spain within 20 days, or the French captured with the squadron at Cadiz, should be treated with all military rigor. It is said the Duke immediately imprisoned all the members of the council of Castile.
We are assured the 10,000 men he has sent towards Valencia, go with the object of forcing the point to unite themselves with the army of Catalonia.
The French division destined for conducting the artillery from Segovia has been completely routed as well as that of Andalusia.
We do not forget the gallant action of our Spaniards in Portugal, who united with the inhabitants of that country, have acted with the peace of many sacrifices, beaten the enemy, and declared for our unfortunate Ferdinand 7th.
In Arragon there is much zeal and conduct, and many divisions have already gone out to occupy different posts.
SARRAGOSSA, June 11.
The remainder of the battalion of Spanish guards who remained at Madrid, left the capital on the 5th, at day break, with their arms and colours, the French not daring to oppose their march. In a short time they arrived in this city with other troops, amounting to about 800.
The Marshall Macey, who with 5000 men marched for Valencia on the 5th, received an order as soon as the route of Dupont was known and he took the road for Andalusia, where he will never arrive.
Gallicia is in arms, and has a formidable army organised, composed mostly of regular troops.
The infamous Sabian, with his troops, has been completely destroyed; these are the men who took the vain glorious title of invincibles; and boasted of being able to reduce the whole kingdom of Valencia to ashes.
At a muster of the troops assembled at Seville, it appears there were 120,000 men firm in their attachment to the cause, for which all Spain is now engaged, and resolute to defend its rights and sovereignty by the sacrifice of the blood.
The first division of prize money for the capture of Buenos Ayres takes place on the 15th inst. A field officer's share will be 7000 pounds.
From the laudable anxiety shown by the Board of Trade to the manufacturing interest, it is expected that the St. Domingo trade will soon become of considerable importance to this country.
Yesterday a great number of applications for vessels to proceed to Spain without convoy, were made at the Admiralty, which were in general, ordered to be granted. The vessels are to proceed to Spain direct.
We are happy to state that according to letters from Manchester, it appears that the pleasing prospect of a renewal of our commercial relations with Spain has, even thus early, had a sensible effect upon that important manufacturing town; and it is expected that these events will have an immediate influence in relieving the distresses, and consequently in quelling the discontents which have troubled that kingdom. The vast warehouses of that large town are again opened, a new market having now offered itself for the wares which have so long been accumulating.
The American ship Tiger, bound from Philadelphia to Bordeaux, has been sent into Plymouth by the Crowler gun-brig. The Ambassador from Spain to the United States Marquis Yrujo was on board of her.
Murat in returning to Bayonne, shews, that he was reduced to a literal alternative. Either he deserts his Government, or the nation he affects to rule gives him his deserts. On the true Bonaparte principle, therefore he secures a retreat for himself, leaving his army to maintain all their actions for a quantum meruit.

LATEST FROM LONDON. The British ship Toro , captain Kendall , has arrived at Newcastle in a short passage from Londonderry . A valuable commercial friend, who has received fresh papers by this vessel, has favored the Editor of the MERCANTILE ADVERTISER with the DUBLIN CORRESPONDENT of the 14th of July, containing London dates of the 11th (two days later than our former advices) from which the following articles are copied:—
SAILING OF THE EXPEDITION. This interesting circumstance, to which the hopes, the pride, and the affections of the United Kingdom are so closely united, took place on Tuesday morning last at Cove .—The wind being round at East , the signal for weighing was made, and in a few minutes his Majesty's ships the Donegal , 84, Captain Malcolm , and the Resistance & Crocodile Frigates, forming the convoy, were under sail. The Resistance was the van ship, and was followed by the transports, after which the Donegal , with Sir Arthur Wellesley and his staff on board, stood out to sea.—In passing Carlisle fort, a mutual salute of fifteen guns were fired, between the battery and the ship, which was re-echoed by the shouts of an immense assemblage of persons on shore, who crowded on the adjacent heights.—The entire fleet stood out to sea under a propitious breeze, and were soon out of sight, accompanied by the prayers and blessings of an admiring multitude.  Should the intelligence prove well founded, that Bonaparte's sister, Madame Murat , has fallen into the hands of the Patriots, it cannot be looked upon as a trifling occurrence. He who is so earnest in the exaltation of his family to royal power, cannot be indifferent to an event which throws into the hands of the most ardent and exasperated enemies, a personage of so much importance as his own sister, and the wife of one of his most favored and useful Generals.
Correspondent Office, Three o'clock. The arrival of the London paper on Monday, and several Spanish journals, as also communications from Gibraltar , have induced us at this late hour to stop the press to give a summary of their glorious contents for our country subscribers. These journals are filled with victory after victory on behalf of the noble Spaniards, which are too voluminous for us at present to detail; they may, however, be generally summed up in the following brief outline:  The surrender of the French squadron to the Spaniards—the defeat of the French division under the orders of Dupont , near Cordoba by general Echavania —another column commanded by Lefebvre , routed by general Palafox ; no quarters given; the division of Moncey has suffered loss in the neighborhood of Cuenca —in Madrid , seven or eight thousand only remain, who have retired within entrenchments, apprehensive of an attack, which was daily expected from the combined forces of Arragon , Valencia and Andalusia —all the provinces of Spain are under arms, and propose to assemble the general Cortes , or Grand Council of the nation.
To the above we have to add that letters which reached us from Gibraltar , state, that all the French in the neighborhood of Barcelona , have been killed or taken prisoners by the Patriots under general España .  The following Bulletin, has been sent to the Lord Mayor, and posted on the front of the Mansion house:—  Admiralty Office, July 11. My Lord—I have great pleasure in acquainting your Lordship, that by a dispatch received this morning at the Admiralty from Vice-Admiral Lord Collingwood , dated off Cadiz , 14th June, it appears that the French squadron in Cadiz , struck their colors to the Spaniards at seven o'clock in the morning of that day, when the Spanish colors were immediately hoisted on board of them.  The Spanish Admiral is about to embark for England, on board the Revenge , commanded by Sir John Gore , as one of the commissioners from the Council of Seville to his Majesty's Government.  I have the honor to be, &c.  (Signed)
MULGRAVE, To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor.  Dispatches from Lord Collingwood.  Admiralty Office, July 11. "Dispatches were this morning received at this office from Vice-Admiral Lord Collingwood and Admiral Sir Charles Cotton , brought to Plymouth in the Primrose . By the former it appears that the French squadron in Cadiz struck their colors to the Spaniards, at seven o'clock on the morning of the 14th June, when the Spanish colors were immediately hoisted on board of them.  "The French ships were not much injured, nor has there been much loss of men on either side.  "The Spanish Admiral is one of the Commissioners about to proceed to England, and the Revenge commanded by Sir John Gore .
"The dispatches from Sir Charles Cotton , down to the 14th of June, confirm the reports of the general spirit of detestation of the French Government in Portugal; in many parts of which it has been formally abolished, and that of the Prince Regent re-established.  "By a letter from Capt Creyke of the Eliza , dated Oporto , 20th June, it appears that owing to the treachery of Don Oliveira , Governor of Oporto , (now confined as a traitor) the French were enabled to re-establish their authority, which they maintained until the 16th June, the day of Corpus Christi , when an attempt was made for to carry the French flag in the procession. This incensed the populace to such a degree that under the countenance of the Priests, they rose in mass, broke open the depots, supplied themselves with 25,000 stand of arms, and together with the regulars, formed a most determined and enthusiastic army. From this moment all French authority ceased, and every man either French, or suspected of being inclined to the French interest, was arrested.
"The Bishop of Oporto is elected Governor. An army of 20,000 men was sent to meet the French, who, with a corps of 900 men had marched within six leagues of Oporto . The Provinces Montes , and the northern parts of Beira , have risen in arms to the amount of one hundred thousand men, inclusive of the force in Oporto .  "General Spencer arrived off Lisbon on the 5th inst. on the 24th of June, and after communicating with Sir C. Cotton , returned to join the forces off Cape St. Vincent .
A dispatch has also been received from Admiral Lord Gambier , enclosing a letter from Capt. Bigby , of the Cossack , dated off St. Andros , 25th June, by which it appears that on the 23rd the French entered the place, previous to which the boats of the Cossack , and Comet spiked all the guns on fort Salvador de Ano, and fort Sedra , and completely destroyed the magazines with 500 barrels of powder, and a quantity of other stores. The boats had just returned round the Point de Ano, when a considerable body of French dragoons appeared on the hill.  A French prize sent into Plymouth , brings accounts that the traitors of the Aristocracy who had joined Napoleon's court at Bayonne , were fighting for the French against the Spanish populace in the province of Biscay , which reaches from Bayonne to St. Andros , a small tract, and which seems to be the only Spanish territory now occupied by the French. The French have taken possession of St. Andros with 5000 men, but before they arrived, the boats of his Majesty's ships Cossack and Comet had landed, spiked all the guns, and blown up the magazine. In that quarter it is reported, that Bonaparte is marching to Madrid with an army of 150,000 men. We do not believe it.—He will be careful how he ventures to advance into the heart of a country where every human being is a patriot, and every patriot ready to sacrifice himself for his country.  Papers and letters have been just received from Holland . The former contain a Proclamation of Louis Bonaparte , stating, that King Joseph was received in Spain with the most ardent demonstration of joy, and that perfect peace and tranquillity prevailed throughout that whole kingdom, particularly at Madrid and Cadiz . The Dutch papers contain nothing else of any interest.
We are sorry to observe, that some symptoms of a riotous disposition, & a resistance to the laws, have appeared in the parishes of Donnycloney and Tullylish in the county of Monaghan , where the sale of some lands ( Beary ) was recently attempted to be stopped, accompanied by acts of outrage and violence. A meeting of the Magistrates and gentlemen of that county, was in consequence convened on the 4th instant, at Monaghan , when a public expression of their reprobation was made known, in resolutions to resist such unlawful attempts, and to bring the perpetrators to condign punishment.  Our working silk manufacturers appear to be recovering from their late despondency, as they shortly expect a large supply of raw silk from the ports of Spain , & though it may not be of so fine a quality as that of Piedmont , Lucca , Calabria , &c. yet it may be made to answer several purposes in the silk trade, and to afford employment to numbers of people who are literally famishing, and their families in a perishable state.  Muscovado and clayed Sugars are at present in such quantities at the stores of our merchants, that they are still looking down as we have no foreign markets as yet to send them to.—Coffee falls under a like predicament.  Russian iron is now exhausted, but there is a tolerable stock of Swedish iron on hand, which is of a superior quality to the former; but British iron is rather inferior, even to that of Russia —We, however, still expect large supplies of that of Sweden .  The French fleet still remains quiet at Toulon ; it now amounts to twelve sail of the line; two Russian line of battle ships have gone into that port.
LONDON, July 10. Sir Richard Strachan is in the Donnegal , with several ships, off Toulon , watching the motions of the French fleet .  Captain Carleton , speaking of the temperance of the Spaniards, says, "there may be a political reason assigned for their abstinance, which is this, that if any man upon any occasion should be brought in as evidence against you, if you can prove that he was even drunk, it will invalidate his whole testimony."  Recent events of some kind or other (indeed the public can ascertain some of them) have caused a considerable change in projected military movements. It is now understood that a grand expedition, of which the Earl of Chatham is to have the command, is resolved on, which will embrace troops that were destined for other services. The Earl is to have with him 2 Lieutenant Generals, Sir J. Moore and Sir Arthur Wellesley . His army will be in all 40,000 men. His Royal Highness the Duke of York was and is extremely desirous to have the chief command; and there are not wanting great authorities for the rumor that he is yet determined to carry his desire into execution. The place and object of the expedition are probably changed. It may be no longer necessary for any part of it to go to Portugal —An effectual diversion may be made elsewhere—and the uncertainty of the point of attack is itself a diversion.
July 4. Letters from Italy state, that as the Catholic religion makes considerable progress in America , his Holiness has thought proper to appoint several of the Missionaries there, titular Bishops, of Baltimore , Philadelphia , New-York &c.  According to letters received in London from Brest , the French there has received the following communication.  "Sir—It being his majesty's intention to protect the operations of commerce in the mother country and colonies, and to take every step which can, under existing circumstances, promote the common prosperity of this traffic, and of the colonies themselves, I am authorised by his majesty, for the purpose of facilitating such enterprises, to engage for one fifth of the freight of vessels to be so employed, and which shall be fitted out as privateers as well as merchantmen; and to send on board each as passengers from 14 to 20 soldiers, for strengthening the crews and reinforcing the garrisons of the colonies at which they shall arrive.  "I have therefore to request that you will give due publicity to these gracious arrangements of his majesty, in the different ports within your precinct, having notice at the same time that the proposal of the outfitters must be through you transmitted to me within two months, at least, of the intended departure of the vessels; and I have further to request that you will without fail, and immediately on the receipt thereof, transmit the said proposals to me, with your opinion upon their contents respectively.  (Signed) DECRETS. CAFFARELLI.
AFFECTING NARRATIVE.  "MEMEL, April 12, N. S. Particulars of the loss of the vessel in which Lord Royston was drowned.  "On Saturday, the 2d instant, N. S. at noon we sailed from Liebau with a fair wind, and ice for two vents only, after which we
got into clear water, and from that time saw no more ice.—This fair wind continued for about 24 hours, and carried us within 40 English miles of Cattonaro . The ship began to make a little water the first night, but it was a trifle; the second night, however, it increased so much that Messrs. Bayley , Becher , Raney , Focke , and Pereyra , who were lying upon hay, were obliged to move to a higher place; but as I lay in my hibitker , the water never touched me till the last light, when I was also obliged to move.—When we came within miles of Calscro , the wind became direct west and blew a gale; we were several times close to the isle and of Oland , but could not land on account of the sea, but that would not have prevented our attempting it, had not the captain said that there was no place for anchorage, nor was there a harbour; so we tacked about, till the 6th, all the time the pumps going, and all hands bailing the ship; but we did not gain on the leak, and had always 4 or 5 feet water in the hold.
"On the 7th inst. at noon Colonel Pollen asked the captain if the ship would stand the sea? He answered, that he thought "it was impossible," whence it would appear, that had Col. P. not put that question, the ship must next day have foundered with us all.  "Upon receiving that answer from the captain, Col. Pollen ordered him immediately to put back, and make the first port (this was Memel ); and as it blew a gale, and the wind quite fair, we were sure of reaching it early next morning. During the whole of the day and night we were employed in clearing the ship of water, and prevented it exceeding five feet. At two o'clock on the morning of the 7th, we saw the coast and at four Memel . I immediately went into the hold, opened my desk and took out what money I had there, placing it in the pocket of my hibitker , that I might secure it at a moment's warning in case of danger; I then locked my desk, and left my servant to put it away.  "When I came upon deck, we were close to the bar; I had not been there five minutes, when the ship struck with such violence, that the ladies and children in the cabin, and the passengers in the hold, had just time to reach the deck, when the ship filled with water and immediately after the rudder was knocked off.
"The women now took refuge in the sailors' cabin upon deck, where I also put the children.  "The sea running dreadfully high we were obliged to cut away the mast to prevent the ship upsetting; the boats were then cut loose and launched and Lord Royston with four or five others, jumped into them, but were upset in a moment.  "I determined to take my chance with the women, and followed them into the round house, where I found eleven persons: Mrs. Pollen and three servants; Mrs. Barnes , 3 children and maid; Pereyra and Focke . All the rest of our dear friends, except those who were lost by getting into the boats, were immediately washed overboard.  "Shortly after, the life-boat came along side, and found the captain and three sailors upon the bowsprit, who telling the captain of the life-boat that every one else was washed overboard and it put off, leaving us twelve in the round house, in water up to the middle.
"There was only one dry bed place, into which we put the children, but Mr. Focke prayed for God's sake that we would permit him to go in too, as he could not stand the cold. Mr. Pereyra sat upon a chest and had Mrs. Pollen on his knees; Mrs. Barnes sat on another chest, with her little one at her breast, the water covering the chests.  "In order to show the people on shore that there were still living people on board, it was necessary for some of us to show ourselves occasionally. Mrs. Pollen 's two servants, Anthony and Hearn , and myself were the only three who would venture out, and one of us did so every quarter of an hour.—During this day, the life-boat made four or five attempts to relieve us, but could not come near, on account of the tremendous sea.  "That night we all went to prayers, forgave our enemies, and resigned ourselves to the Almighty.  "Next morning at nine o'clock, Anthony who was out, gave notice that the life-boat was at the bowsprit. I went with Mrs. Pollen and the youngest child; Mrs. P. with great difficulty reached the life-boat. I was twice knocked down by the sea, with the child in one arm, but succeeded in holding with the other. Finding however, my strength failing me, I gave the child to Ann (Mrs. B. 's maid) desiring her to remain where she was, till I could send one of the men from the life-boat to take the child.—Whether she attempted to follow me or not, I cannot say; but just as I threw myself into the life-boat, the sailors called out that the woman with the child, and a man were washed overboard; this man was Hearn , Mrs. Pollen 's servant.
"The sea was too boisterous to permit the boat to remain long where it was, it therefore put off with Mrs. Pollen , her servant Anthony , Mr. Pereyra , and myself.  "When we had reached the shore, I told the people there were still four living persons on board, viz. Mrs. Barnes , her two children, and the third servant of Mrs. Pollen . They were with much difficulty persuaded to return and succeeded in saving them.  "Mr. Focke had died during the night, from cold, in the little bed place before described; the body is now on shore and it is to be buried to-morrow, according to directions he gave me about half an hour before his death.  "Mr. Pereyra is not expected to survive this day.  "Mrs. Barnes is laid up, having had her feet frozen. Mrs. Pollen is tolerable but, as you can imagine very low. We were upwards of forty hours without meat or drink, and must have all perished, had we remained six hours longer.  "An estafette has been sent to the king at Konigsberg . The French consul here is very civil and has offered to do every thing in his power to assist us, even to write to Paris for passports.  "I have lost every thing belonging to me, and there is very little hope of my recovering any thing, as the ship is gone to pieces. Mrs. Barnes saved only a small trunk of her children's linen.  "The hospitality we poor survivors meet with at this place is beyond expression.  Lost—Lord Royston , and man servant; Col. Pollen and one man servant; Mrs. B. 's man servant, maid servant, and youngest child. Mr. Halliday 's servant Thomas D. Barley , Mr. Becher , Mr. Renney ; Mr. Focke
"There were, as we learn from a letter from St. Petersburg , Col. Pollen , and Messrs. Bailey and Renney .
(died on board,) and Mr. Pereyra (since on shore.)  Alive—Mrs. Barnes , and two children; Mrs. Pollen , and two servants; Mr. Halliday , Captain and three sailors.
WEST-INDIES.  BY ORDER OF THE SENATE.  PETION, President,  To the Natives of Hayti, residing in foreign Countries.
CITIZENS. Your native country, which has groaned under the misfortunes of a civil war these two years past, enjoys now the blessings of peace, the comforts of prosperity, and the happiness of society. No more disunion, no factions henceforth shall desolate this land any longer.  The monster who had in contemplation the destruction of the inhabitants of this unfortunate island, is taken in his own snares, and his overthrow will drag all those pernicious men who have served his cause. The moment of my addressing you, he has but a small space of ground, where it is impossible for him to hold out any time. Those deluded troops whom he has deceived, having found out the errors in which he has entangled them, have deserted him. Henry Christophe must fall by the hands of his own party, or else put an end to his horrid career with his own hands, as his predecessors have done.  I trust our experience of past misfortunes will teach us wisdom enough to prevent seditions characters, if there should be any amongst us, from deceiving us in future.—Henceforth the people of Hayti shall be the keepers of their own liberty; they are sensible of their true friends, and woe be to him who shall dare once more to lead them astray again; if such an unthinking being could be so blind as to presume to seize upon the reins of this government without the unanimous consent of our veterans, such crack-brained person would pay for his folly as soon as his intention would be known.  Natives of Hayti , if after having restored union, peace and plenty amongst my brethren, I could have the satisfaction to see you return amongst us, particularly those among others, that remain on foreign lands on account of their timidity about civil war; to those I say, fear not that; this land shall not in future witness the like folly from its children. Oh! my dear brethren, could my eyes behold your return home to your native country; there is none elsewhere for you but that where you were born. Let your return to it be for us the happy moment that reunites the members of one family, that was compelled, by common misfortune to part; but who reunite to cherish and protect each other.—Let us say to ourselves what those brave warriors of America said in the year 1776. "E. Pluribus Unum." Those men who have shaken off the European yoke, were no more than men like yourselves; but they were patriots. Let that worthy nation, and its immortal Hero be your model in the art of war as well as in its other virtues.  The Senate requests me to tell you by this present, that it faithfully promises to pay the passage of those who shall be under the incapacity of doing the same, and that the sum of 50 dollars shall be paid punctually to every captain of a vessel for each passenger (grown person) they shall bring from the United States ; and a smaller sum for a less distance shall be paid.  (Copy) The President, PETION.
Port au Prince, 24th May, 1808.
From Falmouth, Jamaica Papers, to the 27th July per the brig Twins, Captain Crow.  ST. JAGO-DE-LA-VEGA, July 23. Information having been received in Kingston that a French frigate was to be despatched from Bordeaux for St. Domingo , about the middle of June, with dispatches, vessels of war have been judiciously stationed in hopes of intercepting & capturing her.
DOMESTIC.
From the Baltimore Evening Post. A letter from a most respectable mercantile house in London to their correspondent in this city, contains the following:  "Extract of the Act of Parliament passed 28th March, 1808, giving effect to the Orders in Council of the 11th November, 1807.  "The duties specified in the annexed tables are to be paid on all goods at the exportation, with the following exceptions:   1. All goods, the produce, growth or manufacture of British colonies, or imported by the East-India Co. or under a license of this company.  2. All goods (not manufactured,) the produce of a country in amity with his majesty, imported in British vessels, or such belonging to such country, (except coffee, sugar, pimento, cocoa nuts, hides, tallow, oil, cotton, yarn and Per. bark.)  3. All goods by vessels who sailed before the periods fixed, of notice of the orders in council having been received, (viz: in North America and the W. Indies , the 20th January,) and proceeding to a port in amity with his majesty. N. B. cotton, yarn, and Per. bark, must in all cases be landed here, the exportation being entirely prohibited.  4. Goods imported under license dated prior to the 11th Nov. or in vessels cleared at the ports they are imported from before the periods fixed, and which are ware-housed for exportation only.  5. Goods imported from any free-port in British W. I. colonies , before the 1st June, 1808, or from any other port under license of his majesty's Governors, dated prior to the 1st Jan. and ware-housed only for exportation.  6. Prize-goods brought in before the 28th March 1808.  7. Goods imported from St. Domingo (in return for goods shipped) under license, before the 5th Feb.—those subsequent are only liable to half the duties.   All E. India goods must be ware-housed in London only, but if it is proved that a vessel arriving at an out port has only such quantity of East India goods on board as must not exceed one fourth of the value of her cargo, she may land there the goods, and either carry the East India goods to
London, or re-ship them by some other vessel.  Goods rated according to the value, must pay the duty upon the real value at the time of shipping.  Goods ware-housed under bond must be exported within 15 months, or the home consumption duties must be paid thereon: (if not prohibited;) in default thereof they may be sold to defray the duties and charges, & the proceeds to be paid to the owners. If not so valuable as to produce the duties and charges, they may either be destroyed or re-exported to the country they were imported from, provided such country is then in amity with his majesty.  This act to continue until the end of the next session of Parliament . The king may alter or suspend this act, or any part thereof, as he thinks fit.     Goods allowed to be Bonded.

Another letter from Kathbone, Hughes and Duncan , of Liverpool says—  These duties to attach to the cargoes of ALL vessels bound from the U. STATES to those ports on the CONTINENT, which are under the influence of France, and arrive in this country, in compliance with the ORDERS IN COUNCIL, of the 11th Nov. provided such cargoes be re-exported in the same or other vessels.
According to the preceding duties, it has been calculated that the Port of Baltimore would pay an annual TRIBUTE to the British Government of nearly one million five hundred thousand dollars!!!  But this is not all—it seems the articles we are to receive from the ports of the continent must also pay a DUTY, even yet less tolerable, to his Britannic Majesty ! As, for instance, the article Gin pays one shilling & three pence, sterling, per gallon, and the tonnage and other charges , on a ship of an ordinary size, will amount to about 1500 dollars!  By the Orders in Council , be it remembered, that nearly the whole of Europe is declared in a state of blockade, and all vessels bound to its ports MUST stop at Britain , pay these duties, and obtain his majesty's license to proceed on their voyage—or be liable to capture, adjudication, and of course, condemnation!  A cargo of cotton of 1000 bales, of 300 lbs. each, which is about the common weight, paying 9d. ster. in England, would amount to the precise sum of 50,000 dollars. The same cargo of cotton at 14 3/4 cents per lb. the average price for fine Louisiana cotton, will not cost at New-Orleans 43,500 dollars. Thus the exporter would have to pay 6,500 dols. in London , as a duty, for liberty to proceed to the continent, more than the original cost.  EMBARGO—TRIBUTE—OR—WAR.  It is admitted that the embargo has had its effect in preventing the free circulation of money, and, of course, has created some partial disadvantages.—But,

Now let us suppose, after all these expenses, his vessel and cargo not seized by the French, for having acknowledged himself a tributary of Britain, and the American is permitted to bring away his return cargo—say of Gin, from Amsterdam. He must again stop at an English port, and pay the King of England his duties upon it at the rate of one shilling and three pence sterling per gallon—the cargo may be supposed to consist of 600 pipes of gin. Let us again set what the charges would come to: 60,000 gallons of Gin at 15 pence sterling per gallon, amounts to $16,550 00. Tonnage duty as before, 1,065 00. Light money and other expenses, 800 00. $18,415 00.
Put the whole together—and the amount is thirty-one thousand five hundred and eighty-one dollars and twenty cents, for TRIBUTE like that paid the Algerines, for liberty to navigate the ocean—the common highway of nations, in SAFETY. Freemen! Some of seventy-six! what think you of this? Will you be slaves, or will you remain sovereign and independent? Will you support the embargo, and avoid TRIBUTE or WAR, or will you take it off, and have as great a stagnation of trade as we have at present, and add thereto all the horrors, distresses and expenses of war? Be assured, that a continuation of the Embargo or immediate war, are the alternatives offered us.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the North of Ireland, to his friend in Baltimore—received by the Louisa, lately arrived at Philadelphia: "Dollars that passed sometimes in England for 6s. sterling, (1s. 6d. above their real value) I know not how, have fluctuated much in Ireland; sometimes passing at 5s. 6d. sometimes at 8s. and again at 4s. 6d. & now at 4s. Many of our regulars have been drawn off to go on foreign service, to the North of Europe and elsewhere—In consequence every county in Ireland is to ballot a Regiment of militia to stay in their respective counties. There is a great rise here on all American produce; as also on the articles of the North—hemp, pitch, tar, iron, timber and boards, are enormously high—No flaxseed at all from Holland or Riga, on account of the blockading orders and war. If these things last any length of time, you may guess what will be the fate of Ireland. Government agents have bought all the flax in this country, to substitute it for Russian hemp—which I believe is common throughout this kingdom. What will then become of our bleachers and drapers, with their numerous hands, mills, & bleach-greens idle? Provisions scarce and dear, and taxes—I need not tell you about them. When I first showed my neighbors the papers you sent me, they laughed at me—when I told them there would be an embargo in America—they said I was too often dreaming about impossible dangers. They find the difference now.—But we speak big withal, as we are sure of carrying every thing hollow in the Baltic."
It is stated in another letter which we have seen, that oat-meal was selling at 2s. 10d. per peck, potatoes at the unusual price of five shillings per bushel—and every article employed in the navy exceedingly dear. Both these letters are dated the middle of May last—Balt. Whig.
From the Salem Gazette. MR. CUSHING, I observe in your paper of Tuesday last, an assertion that I was not perfectly correct in the statement I made, "that out of seven vessels which sailed from this district for the continent of Europe, in the month preceding the commencement of the Embargo, not one ever reached her destined port in safety."
The trial came on in the County Court of Caroline, on the twelfth of last month, and as was natural from the character and profession of the parties, and from the novel and shocking spectacle of seeing a brace of preachers, immersed chin deep in litigation, the crowd was considerable. The Counsel on both sides were eminent, and their efforts commensurate. There were twelve magistrates on the bench. The Jury were reported to have been enlightened, unbiased, and independent. They were selected generally from a quarter of the County, the most remote from the scene of sacerdotal squabble. After a patient hearing of all the testimony and the arguments of Counsel, from 8 in the morning until 4 in the Afternoon, the Jury retired, and in about 15 minutes returned with a verdict in favor of GURNEY. Damages $450 and all the costs of suit. The adverse counsel moved for a new trial, but the motion was overruled by the unanimous decree of the Bench. The man, he who he may, that first originated—that has been the main, prime cause of this foul business, must encounter, through life, many bitter reflections. To scoffers at true religion and sound morality, he has furnished fresh cause for reproach—he has stained the clerical character—in room of devotion to the musty Folios of my lord of Verrulam, Coke, Littleton, and the thousand Reporters of Great-Britain's slanderous common law, well would it have been for the peace and happiness, the character, purse, & principles of the Reverend DIVINES, had he misapplied time of the last 18 months
been devoted, as it ought, to the study of SA- VANT VOLTAIRE, the devoted admirer of a great faith, and the ostensible standard of the recondite. We heartily wish their amendment—'Tis never too late to mend—and the gentlemen we are persuaded will agree with us that good touch experiences is the best possible corrective. The arguments of counsel we are told have been promised & an account of the whole trial will probably be soon published by Mr. GURNEY. Lynchburg Star.
Extract of a letter from an American merchant in London, dated June 26th, to his friend in this city. "The following prices have actually been made in Holland. May 27. Varenos Tobacco sold at Dols 1 34. Porto Rico. do. 91 1/2—100. Pernambuco Cotton do. 1 80. 23 Virginia Tobacco do. 36. June 3d. 1st. brown sugars do. 44. 4 Do white do. 56. 7 Pepper do. 72. 12 The refuse of a parcel of Spanish Hides were actually sold at 36 cts per lb. The embargo in Holland has been raised on condition that every vessel takes away a cargo, the produce of that country; but it does not specify a full cargo; as the Minerva, Jenkins, arrived in the Downs from Rotterdam, with only 20 pipes, she stops to pay 1s and 3d per gallon duty & the whole tonnage duty, which is about 12 shillings per ton."—N Y paper.

INSANITY. QUEM DEUS VULT PERDERE, PRIUS DEMEN- TAT. The following precious morsel is from the Boston Gazette. It seems as though these writers had a "method in their madness." "Among our first and most important rights is the free use of the ocean, and of this we will not be deprived, under the false pretence that the Leviathan will swallow us up. "If when Congress meets, they do not take off our chains, they will soon find but one sentiment pervades us from the Delaware to St. Croix—it will demand free commerce—No more Embargoes. If Virginia and her sister states choose, let them keep on a perpetual Embargo among themselves, we want it not, or if there be any among us who do, let these remove beyond the Potomac." "Virginia again! "Southern prejudices against commerce." These are the "disciples of Washington." Nat. Int.
The attempt of the federal meeting at N. Y. to put the vice-president in nomination for President after the votes given in so many cities, towns and counties in favour of Mr. Madison, and in confirmation of his nomination by the republican members of Congress, is a very inludicrous act. It goes upon the mistaken ground that Mr. Clinton will disregard all these clear expressions of the republican interest. We see that the meeting of Northumberland, in Pennsylvania, which had been so explicit in his favour has rescinded its vote, and nominated Mr. Madison as President from a conviction that the republican majority is in his favour.—B.
NEW-HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. On Monday last the election of members of Congress took place in New-Hampshire. Returns from the following towns, viz. Portsmouth, Newington, New-Market, Greenland, Stratham, Hampton Falls, North-Hampton, Exeter, Hinton, Seabrook and Kensington, give the Republican Ticket 1405, and the federal 702—The votes in Portsmouth were—republican 750—federal 295.
FROM A LATE LONDON PAPER. Mr. Sergeant Gardener, being lame of one leg, and pleading before the late Judge Fortescue, who had little or no nose, the Judge told him, he was afraid he had but a lame cause of it—"Oh! my lord (said the Sergeant) have but a little patience, and I'll warrant I'll prove every thing as plain as the nose on your face."
From the Baltimore American. The editor gives the following incontrovertible facts, to show that the present clamors are only a ruse de politique, to assist men to get into office, whose views, if we may judge from their conduct, are not directed to the general welfare. The statement is from one of the first mercantile houses in this city, whose veracity is unquestionable. Mr. Wm. Gray states, that 3 vessels had cleared out at Salem, the month preceding the embargo, for different ports on the continent of Europe, not one of which arrived in safety at her port of destination. On examination I find that out of 20 vessels cleared from Baltimore between the first of September and the 23d of December last, for different ports on the continent of Europe, 8 were captured by the British and have never reached their port of destination. 3 captured by the French and Spaniards 3 embargoed at Amsterdam 5 returned to Baltimore, one of them with her outward cargo on board, not being permitted to proceed to her port of destination. 1 lost at sea. 20.
NEWSPAPERS.—There are at present printed in the United States about three hundred newspapers, of which twenty-four are daily papers. Of these seven are republican, twelve federal, and five neutral. Of papers printed three times a week there are about twenty-five. Twice a week about twenty. The remainder about 225 are weekly papers. Within the last month we have noticed the establishment of eight new weekly papers, viz. Weekly Expositor—York, Penn. Statesman—Newburyport, Mass. Pilot—Cazenovia, N. Y. Vermont Courier—Rutland, Vt. Weekly Chronicle—Natchez, Miss. T. Herkimer Herald—Herkimer, N. Y. Missouri Gazette—St. Louis, Lou. The Dove—Washington, K.

Town Meeting.—Agreeable to notification, the citizens of this town met yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of petitioning the President to suspend in whole or in part, (as vested in him by the last Congress) the Embargo Laws. The meeting being uncommonly full, it was adjourned to the Brick Meeting-house, where a motion was made to appoint a committee to draw up a memorial to that effect; which was carried without one dissentient. Elias Shipman, Jonathan Ingersol, Noah Webster, David Dagget, and Thomas Painter Esqrs, composed the Committee. The committee retired, and soon after returned, with the Memorial; which was read, and unanimously adopted. We regret that the lateness of the hour precludes the possibility of giving it to our readers this week. It shall be given in our next. On motion, it was Voted, That the Selectmen be requested to sign the Memorial, and send a copy to the Selectmen of every town in this county, and also to every county town in the State, with a request that they would send a copy to each town in their respective counties. Also, that in case the President should not see fit to suspend the laws laying an Embargo, that the Selectmen should transmit a copy to the President of the Senate, and Speaker of the house of Representatives, when Congress shall assemble, after making the alterations which shall then be required.—Connecticut Herald.
PHILADELPHIA, September 2. A Spanish gentleman who sailed from Vera Cruz the 18th of July bound to Cadiz, was taken by the British brig Ferret, capt. Walsh. A few days after they fell in with the Aurora, bound from this port to the Havannah, on board of which vessel they put this Spaniard and other prisoners, and ordered her back to the United States. This gentleman says, that when he sailed from Vera Cruz, they had just heard of Bonaparte having investigated the Spanish king to Bayonne—that the people of Mexico were determined to receive no officer sent by Bonaparte or any under him—that they would have Ferdinand for their king, or they would be independent. He thinks when they hear from the junta at Seville, they will serve their viceroy (who is in the interest of Bonaparte) as they did in Cadiz their governor.—Register.
NEW-YORK, September 3. By the packet Alonzo, captain Westcott, we learn that the result of the election in Rhode Island, which took place on Tuesday last, for the members of Congress and State Legislators, has been favorable to Federalism. In New port, where the republican majority has been 80, there was a majority of 50 in favour of the Federal candidates; in Providence, a federal majority of 350; in James Town, a federal majority of 7; Middletown and Portsmouth were divided.—The other towns had not been heard from.

Captain Newhall, who arrived at this port last evening from Havana, in the schooner Republican, informs, that there had not been any news recently received at that place from Spain, neither had they heard from Mexico.

They have fallen a wretched prey to hunger and the inclemency of the season and climate.—London Paper.
NEWBURYPORT, August 29. More particulars of the late Violation. In our last, we noticed the late violation of the Embargo laws, in this town; which may justly be considered as one of the most barefaced, unprincipled transactions, that has transpired since the institution of our Republican government. It appears that the determination to send the sloop out in "defiance of all authority," had been publicly made known several days previous to the attempt; & the federalists, (with few exceptions) were strenuous advocates for the proceeding. These men not content with aiding and abetting this violation of the laws of government, in the first instance, had previously determined, that the sloop should be taken, to wrest her from the officers who should hold her in possession. For the completion of this diabolical object, a multitude of the "friends to order & good government," assembled; soon after the sloop arrived in the harbor, on Mr. Brown's wharf, where the hellish plot was the general topic of conversation; and many of the mob were prepared for "cutting the throats of every democrat in town." Boats, scows, &c. were prepared, and the men armed for carrying into effect their object; but Messrs. Brown and Bartlett (whose timely interference reflects honor on them,) endeavored to quiet these disorganizing seditions and turbulent men, and finally succeeded in dispersing the Mob; not however, without many bitter exclamations against the government and its officers, for faithfully performing their official duties. That a party, who have so lately addressed the President, in a respectful and decent manner; for the removal of the embarrassments under which they pretend to suffer, should be concerned in so disgraceful and riotous a proceeding before their very respectful Petition had reached the city of Washington; and before the determination of the President could possibly be known, may appear strange to some of our fellow-citizens at a distance, but to those who are acquainted with Newburyport federalism, it is nothing remarkable. It is in fact a piece with their whole conduct—and the more discord and confusion that appears to be excited, the more delighted and happy are they. We only regret that the Collector suffered the men concerned in this transaction to escape unpunished. If the laws are to be violated with impunity, and the lives and property of those who discharge the duties which they have sworn faithfully to fulfil, are to be threatened, and the aggressors to escape unpunished—we may well exclaim, "There is no safety here."—Statesman.
We recommend the above report on the Baltimore "Federal Republican," who has made a "terrible potsher" about this business.—We shall see whether this amphibious monster will show as much ingenuity in republishing the correction, as he has attempted to show ingenuity in commenting upon the original falsehood. Why are the French armed vessels permitted to enter our ports at all? Is not this partiality to France? say the federal wiseacres.—Why? Because French vessels never murdered a Pierce on our coasts, burnt an English frigate within our lines; violated our jurisdiction; and attacked and American frigate!

BELES LETTRES SCHOOL.—JOHN DAVIS, translator from the French of Mireau's Campaigns, respectfully acquaints the inhabitants of Richmond, that he will open a school Monday the 12th instant, in a pleasant house on Elliot's lot, lately occupied as a seminary by Miss Frances Hughes; where he proposes to teach the English, Latin and French languages, Greek grammar and Testament, together with Writing, Arithmetic, History, Geography, English grammar and Epistolary Composition. Terms.—English, 8 dollars per quarter—English and Latin 10—English and French 10—English, Latin and French 12.
TESTIMONIALS.—Th: Jefferson thanks Mr. Davis for the Latin pamphlet he has been so kind as to send him. The intimacy it shews with the beauties of that language is not the less valuable because it is rare. It is to those models we are indebted for the superiority of our taste over the nations of Asia and Africa. He salutes Mr. Davis with respect. Monticello, Sept. 3, '07. Mr. Davis is the author of several Opusculs in Latin, French and English, which evince a knowledge of those languages equally extensive and accurate. To him a long, and I might say, an enthusiastic study, has rendered the British Classics perfectly familiar. To these qualifications Mr. Davis joins a spirit of indefatigable industry. This character I have heard conferred on him by several enlightened and respectable persons, who have had occasion to estimate the result of his exertions. L. H. GIRARDIN. Richmond, August 6. (31)

Several Towns of the North have followed the example of Boston; and addressed the President. Among these are Newburyport, Beverly, Portland, Wiscasset, Bath, Wenham, Berkeley, Halloway, Shrewsbury, Gloucester, Newbury, Scituate, Cohasset, Cambridge, Amesbury, Topsfield, Plymouth, New-Bedford, Grotton, Wells, Arundel, Alfred, New-Ipswich, North Yarmouth, and Boothbay.
Several districts have also pursued the patriotic example displayed by the Selectmen of Salem. Among these, are Marblehead one of the principal fishing towns of the north, the republicans of Portland and Pittston in the district of Maine, the Selectmen of Worcester, Saco, Charlesstown, Andover, Watertown, Dighton, and the inhabitants of Barnstable, Canton, Lynn towns, and County of Norfolk in the state of Massachusetts.
We understand, that the reply of the President has gone on to Boston; so that we may expect to see it every day.
A grand Review and Festival took place at Bennington (Vermont) on the anniversary of the memorable 16th of August 1777. The following toasts breathe the Spirit of the times: The brave Gen. STARK. May his praises be annually sung, and generations yet unborn, hail him as their deliverer. The Heroes who fell in Bennington battle, fighting for their country: they died gloriously. Such virtues are recorded in Heaven. THOMAS JEFFERSON. Freedom hailed his ingress with applause; Freemen have beheld his progress with delight; and Virtue views his approaching egress with admiration. "Take him for all in all" "When shall we look upon his like again?" GEORGE CLINTON, the brave revolutionary patriot, May he continue to be our Vice-President. JAMES MADISON, our next President; firm as a rock, while faction's storm runs high; watchful, yet placid in a cloudy day: 1 Gun.
The Embargo: While Republicans lament the unprincipled and tyrannic acts which made further forbearance criminal, and its adoption necessary; may the sufferings of impressed American seamen, and the sighs and tears of their bereaved friends, be the portion of its sinister opposers.
The federal papers of Boston speak triumphantly of the election in New-Hampshire—of 5 Representatives to Congress by a general ticket. The republican candidates are Clement Storer, Daniel M. Durell, Jedediah K. Smith, Francis Gardner and Charles Cuts. The federal, Nathaniel A. Haven, W. H. Hill, John M. Chamberlain, James Wilson and Daniel Blaisdell.—The Boston Chronicle has cautioned the Republicans to be on their guard, as these federal statements may be designed to influence the Election of Vermont, which took place on the 6th.

ORDER  Of the Seville Junta, relative to American vessels.  On seeing the decree of V. A. of this date, there was a consultation as to what ought to be done with American vessels, and the vessels of other friendly powers detained by French and Spanish privateers upon the suspicion, or from the declarations of their crews, that they had touched at the ports or been visited by the vessels of England; in which case we are of opinion, that the decree of the Emperor Napoleon first should be considered as annulled, so far as it relates to its execution in this kingdom, and of consequence that the said vessels should not be admitted:—And as to the payment of costs the grounds of suspicion ought to be taken into consideration, since in our opinion the vessels detained merely on suspicion ought not to pay costs; those only ought to pay as gainst whom at the date of the publication of the decree of V. A. it was proven that they had touched in the ports or had been visited by the vessels of England. And without the consent of the supreme council we inform your excellencies of it that you may proceed accordingly in similar cases.  God preserve your excellencies many years.— Seville 16th June, 1808.  Franco Xavier de Cienfuegos, Andres de Coca.  To their excellencies of the Council of Government at Cadiz.
SPECULATIONS ON SPAIN.
As the political condition, present and future of Spain, appears to us wholly dependent on the military character of events, their progress and consequences; as has been the custom in this paper through all the stages of the war in Europe, arising out of the French revolution, we venture to speculate upon the aspects which they now present, and to draw our deductions of what is to follow from facts wholly military.  In estimating the issue of war, a vast variety of particulars require to be considered—the grand features of the country—its roads and rivers—mountains and forests—and the productions of the soil and population—the character of the people, and their physical resources.  Spain presents to the Geographer a tablet, nearly square, which may be considered in the present view as comprehending Portugal, which forms four fifths of the west face, and is washed by the Atlantic, the Spanish province of Galicia forming the remaining northern and fifth portion; this province occupies nearly an equal front on the Bay of the Biscay. The greatest length of Spain, in a line drawn 120 miles west of Madrid, due north and south, is about 450 miles; that is, from the promontory of Aviles, in the province of Asturias, on the bay of Biscay, to the ancient Mellaria, or modern Tariffa, on the shore of the gut of Gibraltar, which is its southern extremity; this point is also a graduated promontory, extending about sixty miles farther south than the main land at Faro, in the Portuguese Algarva, or the mouth of the Guadalquivir, about 20 miles west of Cadiz. The main land of Spain on the east side of Calpe, for instance at Malaga, recedes only about 24 miles from the southern extremity of Calpe; in runs nearly due east to the cape of Gades, in Granada, about 150; where it breaks off, and forms an unequal line of coast on the Mediterranean, of 450 miles in the direction of north east by east from that cape to Roses, at the foot of the Pyrenees, which separate Catalonia from French Roussillon, or the modern department of the eastern Pyrenees. This is the eastern face of Spain, and lies wholly on the Mediterranean.  The northern frontier of Spain, is formed by the Pyrenean mountains, which stretch in unequal ridges, in a direction a little north of west to Fontarabia, on the bay of Biscay, where the line of the north of Spain is continued by that Bay, on which stand in succession from east to west, Guipiscoa, Biscay, Asturias de Santillana, Asturias de Oviedo and the spacious Galicia before referred to.  From the mouths of the Ebro, on the east face to within a few miles of cape Palos, is the modern province and ancient kingdom of Valencia; Murcia to the S. W. of Valencia, in which is the port and arsenal of Cartagena, occupies only about 70 miles of sea coast; and the ancient kingdom of Granada, occupies the rest as far as Ronda, within a few miles of Gibraltar.  Andalusia extends west, thence to the Guadiana, which separates Spain from Portugal, where Algarva commences.  From cape St. Vincent, to the mouth of the river Minho, is the western face of Portugal; that river separating Spanish Galicia from the Portuguese from the Portuguese province of Entre Minho and Duro, or the country between the rivers Minho and Duro.  Portugal is in no place more than 120 miles broad; and in Algarva does not exceed seventy miles.  Returning to the northern frontier, Catalonia occupies 115 or 116 miles of the Pyrenees, Aragon about 45; Navarre about 60; and Guipiscoa about 12.  The remaining provinces are inland, Leon being next southward of Asturias, and bounded by a nearly equal portion of frontier on Galicia and Portugal; Estremadura, extending along the remaining east frontier of Portugal to Andalusia.  Old Castile north and New Castile south, occupy the remainder of the interior, and Madrid is nearly in the centre of the whole. No nation of Europe is so compact—none occupies so large a frontier of sea coast; nor one of finer climate, nor better materials to form a great and virtuous people, had they the blessings of a benign government, or a system which was not calculated to degrade anduman the various races ofardy people, of which the Spanish nation is composed.  The Pyrenees which formed for ages the great northern barrier of Spain, ceased to be formidable or secure in 1707, when the duke of Anjou succeeded to the Spanish throne, after several fruitless struggles, to place an Austrian prince on it. Then it was that Louis XIV said "there are no longer any Pyrenees." The French revolution by the construction of the wonderful road from Roussillon into Catalonia, virtually accomplished the assertion; this with four other roads, constitute the avenues which open the communication between France and Spain. The Pyrenees form one great mass, in their direction from east to west, but they break into lesser chains, which extend southwardly into Spain, and form numerous valleys, which pour their waters in copious currents, which flow into the Ebro and other rivers.  Urguel in Catalonia, Jaca in Aragon, Pamplona in Navarre, are places of first importance; and the pass at Pomerarria, which is at once the key to Guipiscoa and lower Navarre, is constituted the only natural defences by land, for Spain on the side of the Pyrenees. These places the French have occupied.  The Pyrenean chain is continued into Biscay and along the country of Asturias to Galicia, which are mountainous regions, producing a hardy race of men, and some of the finest horses in Europe. The mountain chain which breaks in Guipiscoa, resumes its broken and elevated character, running in steep ridges with broad valleys into Castile, where the chain forks and forms two series of ridges which separate Aragon and Valencia from Castile on the east, and on the west Leon and Estremadura from Portugal; in Murcia, and Granada and Andalusia are extremely mountainous; and Cervantes has immortalized the sterility and rude grandeur of
the mountains of Morena or the Sierra Morena. It is this mountainous district which supplies the Guadiana and Guadalquivir, the Xuel and the Segura. The mountainous aspect of the north, centre, and south of Spain, bespeaks its great fitness for defensive war; and presents such formidable obstacles to an invading army, as must in a special manner determine both the mode of operations and require the utmost skill; nothing can surpass the difficulties unless it be the Swiss and Rhetian Alps.
New Castile to the east and Andalusia south of the Guadalquivir, present champaign countries, but they are separated by the chequered ridges of Sierra Morena, the Sierra Constanza, and other districts which derive their names from the mountains which occupy their greatest surface.  The next subjects of consideration are the great roads, which are probably the worst in Europe; a circumstance which must greatly effect the operations of war—and these we mean to consider wholly in a military view. All the roads of Spain lead naturally from the extremes to the capital, which is in the centre, or 180 miles from the Mediterranean.  240 from the Atlantic, or 140 from the frontier of Portugal.  250 from Malaga in the Mediterranean, 306 from Cadiz, 225 from Bayonne.  There are three main roads which lead from the capital to the southern, and three to the northern extremity from Madrid; three likewise to the west and three to the east.
The entrance to Spain by two of these roads from Bayonne is by one which proceeds directly south to Ostaris 10, Maya 7, Berroeta 6, Pamplona 20, or from Bayonne to Pampeluna 43 miles, thence to Terracona 50, thence to Siguenza 60, to Guadalajara 45, Madrid 27—in all from Bayonne to Madrid 225 miles—that is about fifteen days military march of the old tactics.  The other great road from Navarre into Spain is along the sea coast through St. Jean de Luz, Fontarabia, St. Sebastian, Orio to Tolosa 30, to Vitoria 35, Burgos 60, Lerma 22, Aranda on the Duro 28, Segovia or by Cevanillas 40, Madrid 24, in all 220 miles; the road at Burgos forks oft to the westward by Palencia, and runs parallel with the Burgos road through Valladolid, till it meets the Salamanca road which leads to Portugal, and passes by the Escurial to Madrid; the other northern road is that stupendous work before referred to from Roussillon which enters Catalonia about 15 miles from Perpignan on the Mediterranean, and passes through Roses Girona 40, and Vich 22, to Cardona 31, distant from Barcelona 41—in all from Perpignan to Barcelona 134; the great road from Barcelona to Madrid is through Terrega 64, Lerida 20, Saragossa 52, and joins the Pampeluna road at Lodares 78 miles from Saragossa, 64 miles from Madrid.
The eastern roads are by Tarancón 35, Cuenca 40, Villegordo 28, Cris 57, Valencia on the Mediterranean 26, in all from Madrid, 165.  The great south east road leads into Murcia the chief part of Carthagena; separating itself from the Valencia road at Tarrancón 36, thence to Belmonte 26, by St. Clement, Minava, La Gineta and the mountain town Albacete 42, Tovar 26, Murcia 57, Carthagena 22, from Madrid 188; at Tovar the road leads off east to Alicante 73 miles, which makes Alicante 175 from Madrid.  The great southern road is that which leads by Aranjuez 25, Toledo 18, Calatrava 42, Ciudad Real 10, Carrascosa 17, Almodovar 12, Alconedia 15, Conquistador 9, Venta del Puerto 17, Adamuz 10, Cordova 14—in all from Madrid to Cordova 139.  At Cordova the road forks off S. W. to Seville by Ecija 22, Carmona 22, Seville 21—in all from Seville to Madrid 253 miles; from Seville to Cadiz 35 miles; therefore by that route from Madrid to Cadiz 306 miles.  The road that forks from Cordova to Granada by Alcala 32, Pinos 17, Santa Fe and Granada 15; from Granada to Alhama is 30 miles, and thence to Malaga 50.  The only great road of note beside, is that which leads from Madrid to Badajoz, by Merida 160 miles, thence to Badajoz 35, thence to Lisbon 104, to that Madrid is distant from Lisbon by that route 299 miles.
As to the care of repair or accommodation for the traveller; they are things unknown in Spain. As it must be supposed from experience and from facts, that a plan of military operations was established before a political movement was made; the occupation of Portugal, appears to have been intended for the double end of separating Portugal from the British and throwing a strong army into that country, to form at once a corps of observation upon Galicia, to form the right wing of the main army in Spain, and to cut off the communication between the northern and southern provinces by the occupation of the interior country from the Douro, at Salamanca by Camura to Miranda in Portugal, or by Segovia to Salamanca the great western high road, and one of the keys of Portugal; the other being at Alcantara on the Tajo or Tagus.
This line of operations would also be a good line of defence, were it previously occupied; but the French appear to have pre-occupied it, as the communication with Madrid from Bayonne seems not to have been interrupted; a circumstance which bespeaks either of two facts, that the Spaniards on that line of march were passive or that there was a force adequate to repress their efforts.  The French reinforcements must have taken a large route to reach the left angle of their base at Barcelona; as well for the accommodation of the troops on the march, as to combine and sustain the general plan of operations; the columns advanced from Catalonia, would therefore proceed by the Lerida road, and from the communication with the right on the Gallego, north of the Ebro—the post of Jaca in the rear, being their depot and their head quarters at Balbasto on the Gues, 20 miles north of the main eastern road, and 30 miles north of the Ebro. Their left in Valencia would not stand so much in need of force, from the nature of the country, its isolation and the remoteness from foreign aid; and although marshal Moncey is only once named in all the advices received, his presence at this point, indicates a force at least of 20,000 men; to which belongs the advance of general Dupont on his route to the Sierra Morena, and proves that there was no great difficulty, nor any great obstruction on the side of the Mediterranean; and the columns that will have been pushed forward in the same direction, must have in view the communication with their base at Barcelona, their front at Madrid, and their advance under Dupont in the neighbourhood of Cordova.  The success of such a plan of operations, and so far as advices that can be at all relied upon, the facts here given are palpable—the result of success so far, with adequate forces, would be the prolongation of the western side of the triangle from Salamanca, Ciudad Roderigo, to Placencia in Estremadura, or to Merida on the Guadiana, which would give that river in their front and complete their junction with Dupont, either at Ciudad Real, Adujar, or even at Calatrava or Toledo, if it were requisite to cover Madrid on their rear.
This plan of operations would separate the extremes of Spain, and frustrate every scheme of co-operation or mutual support, while the interior and most fruitful provinces would be occupied, and the provinces on the west and south left for resources to the enemy.  Should this plan be effected, the next operation would be to take such positions as would be defensive and offensive at the same time; and this would naturally lead to the formation of an army of observation and reserve, which, with one flank on Pampeluna and the other at Almeda, in Portugal, should check the Asturians, occupy Leon, & cover Madrid and both Castiles.
A second army, with its flank near Pampeluna, extending S. E. by Molino, Albezana, Cuenca, to the Guadalquivir, would cover Castilian and Aragon, and the great south eastern road to Cartagena.  The main army would then present a line, with its front south, which would have its flanks supported by two armies on reserve.  From the relative distances of place, county, & the positions of the attacking & resisting forces, we may form some ideas of the mode in which war will be conducted.  The French appear to have commenced their operation, by establishing a base upon military principles, and advancing from its sides to a point which was to form a great triangle, the horizontal line, of which beginning at Tolosa in Guipiscoa or Biscay, distant from Bayonne 25 miles carried its advances between the Ebro as far as the Miranda, and so extending along the Ebro, eastward by Caliorra, Tudela, Sarragossa, Baquiger, with advanced corps in the country of Tortosa, at the debouchure of the Ebro.  This side of the base or triangle, being described, the movements must necessarily cover & secure all the intermediate countries of Navarre, part of Aragon, and all Catalonia; cover the north east of Leon, on the right flank of its advance, Valentia to the sea on its left, & unite the triangle at Madrid.
The S. W. side of this triangle, must from necessity be, as it is from its nature, the strongest. The insurrection in Asturias, and part of Galicia particularly required this; and the preservation of a line of co-operation with the French in Portugal, must render the occupation of the countries on both sides of the Duro, in Castile and Leon, of the first consequence; possessed of Astorga, Portugal would even be at the mercy of a force, even barely equal; the French would therefore, strengthen the angle of their base at Tolosa, and extend its extremity by strong columns behind Madrid, to take in the productive countries and their resources.
It is not improbable, that from their early occupation of Pampeluna, and Barcelona, that the plan of operations would be early adopted, and the active war, would then be transferred into the campaign of Castile or Andalusia, so that the pyramid would be reversed, or the rear of the army at Pampeluna, would form one point of a triangle, and their line of positions, two of the sides; while the acting army in front, would form the third side.
We have endeavoured, by describing the positions by figures or angles, to convey our ideas more simply to the mind; and it must be understood that we do not mean to say that the armies at any time form exact straight lines; but that the direction of the columns of march and the positions occupied approach as nearly as is practicable to such lines; because the perfection of military movement is to reach the object of march by the most direct line possible. In our next we shall endeavor to speculate upon a plan of defence—such as the facts upon which we can place any dependence may induce, and such as the case may authorise us fairly to conjecture.

RUNAWAY from the subscriber living on Gilkey's waters of Broad River, near the Cheche Ford, on said river, in Union District, in the state of South-Carolina, one Mulatto Man Slave named RALPH, about thirty-two years of age, about five feet 7 or 8 inches high; had on when he went away, an iron clog on his leg, and some of his four teeth missing; and from the best accounts that I can get, Ralph was born in or near Richmond town, & raised there until he was 21 or 22 years of age, and then he was sold to a certain James Kinkade of South-Carolina, and afterwards ran away from said Kinkade and got back to Richmond town, in the state of Virginia, and by there a considerable time in goal, and said Kinkade went and redeemed him about 9 or 10 years ago. Any person apprehending the said Mulatto, and any person confining him in any govt in the state of Virginia, shall receive five dollars reward, and sending me word so that I can get him, with all lawful fees.

TEN DOLLARS REWARD —Ran away from the subscriber living in the lower end of Buckingham on the 19th day of this month, a Negro Man named JACK GOING; he is about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, 30 or 35 years of age; he is cross-eyed and has a down cast look when spoken to. It is very likely he will forge himself a free pass, as he could write and read previous to his escape; he bought himself a horse, stole a saddle which has a plate on the pommel. It is highly probable that he is lurking about in Powhatan, where he has relations, he took with him a fine black coat, new suawarrow boots, and many other good clothes. I will give the above reward to any person who will apprehend and secure him in any jail, and all reasonable charges paid for bringing him home. M. C. HILL, Adm'r of Rev. Hill, dec'd.

FAIRFIELD RACES, 1808.
THE FAIRFIELD RACES will commence on the first Monday in October, and continue for four days.  1st DAY—The great SWEEPSTAKE for three years old Colts and Fillies, two mile heats—fourteen subscribers at $20 each, half forfeit. This will be an interesting race to the parties concerned, as four of the gentlemen who are subscribers to this stake, put in three hundred dollars each, over and above the original entry, which gives to the winner of those four, should all those entered start and one of the four wins the original stake, his winning will amount to four thousand dollars, the most valuable stake ever run for in this country.  2d DAY—The annual POST SWEEPSTAKE—four subscribers, one hundred dollars each. This is also for three years old Colts and Fillies, two mile heats.  3d DAY—The JOCKEY CLUB PURSE of four hundred dollars, four mile heats—free for all ages, if started by a member of the club.  4th DAY—A SWEEPSTAKE for Colts and Fillies three years old, five subscribers, one hundred dollars each, half forfeit—2 mile heats.  The former Jockey Club expired at our May meeting last—There appears from the books, that there are a number of delinquent members. The treasurer has been anxiously hoping that their subscriptions would have been forwarded before this; this must be considered the last Notice—If the amount is not forwarded by the October meeting he shall insert the names of the delinquents in the public prints, and bring suit against them immediately after the races, for the recovery of the same.  The Booths in the field are to be rented as formerly; the course is in elegant order, and from the number of valuable purses to be run for, it is expected there will be grand sport. E. SMOCK, Treasurer and Proprietor of the Course. [oawR]

WILLIAM & MARY COLLEGE , August, 1808.—The Lectures as usual, will commence on the third Monday in October next.  Parents or Guardians who may be desirous that their sons or wards should receive those literary advantages, which may be derived from a sedulous attention to the lectures, cannot be too earnestly entreated to adopt those precautionary measures, which will ensure on their part, a necessary economy. This end is as easily effected, as it is indispensably requisite. The student should not be permitted to exceed in his expenditures, a certain limited sum. All indulgence beyond that point, which prudence can readily ascertain, must lead to idleness and dissipation. Not only the essential interests of youth, but of the College, are deeply concerned in this admonition. Without it, order and attention to study cannot be preserved; with it, improvement in science and moral conduct are rendered certain. The wisest regulations still require the co-operation of parental authority, and that it may be known what expenditures are deemed necessary, an accurate statement is subjoined.  Fees to two professors, 40$; (if three he attended 56$) Board in College for three quarters 100$—Fuel 10$—Washing 15$—Bed, Candles, &c. 3$—Pocket money and Books 50$—Making in all, 252 dollars for one course. The board must be paid quarterly and in advance. BY THE SOCIETY. Sept. 6. [54]
