Oh! think not my spirits are always as light.
BY THOMAS MOORE, ESQ. [From a selection of Irish Melodies, lately published.]
Oh! think not my spirits are always so light, And free from a pang, as they seem to you now; Nor expect that the heart-beaming smile of to night, Will return with to-morrow to brighten my brow.
No, life is a waste of wearisome hours, Which seldom the rose of enjoyment adorns; And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers,
And I care not how soon I may sink to repose, When these blessings shall cease to be dear to my mind!
But they who have lov'd the fondest, the purest, Too often have wept o'er the dream they believ'd: And the heart that has slumber'd in friendship securest, Is happy indeed if 'twas never deceived.
But send round the bowl, while a relick of truth Is in man, or in woman, this prayer shall be mine, That the sunshine of life may illumine our youth, And the moonlight of friendship console our decline.
NEW-YORK, October 30.
FROM DUTCH PAPERS.
The papers received by the Susan contain nothing particularly interesting. We have translated the following articles from the Mercantile Advertiser from Leyden Gazettes to the 5th of Sept. with which a commercial friend has obligingly favored us.
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 30.
Marshal De Winter before retiring, by the king's orders, from the command of the Helder and the Zuyder-Zee, had been replaced in that of the flotilla and the naval forces on the Meuse and in the waters of Zealand by marshal Verheuil, his majesty's ambassador at Paris, who for that purpose immediately quitted his diplomatic functions. The new commandant hoisted his flag on the 27th inst. on board the Royal Hollander, before Williamstadt.
PRAGUE, Aug. 15.
Nothing has yet occurred which would enable us to decide touching peace or war Negotiations for peace, it is true, are carrying on with the greatest activity; but in the mean time preparations are making on both sides, with increased energy, for the renewal of hostilities. The Austrians recruit incessantly, since the conclusion of the armistice, in those provinces which are not occupied by the French army. Gen. Ducas has been named by the emperor quarter-master general of the staff; mean while he occupies the same post which the baron de Wimpfen had occupied near the archduke Charles. He conducts under the immediate direction of the monarch, all the military operations; and has been for several weeks at the head quarters of the emperor at Comron. The archduke Ferdinand is with his corps of the army in Bohemia and Moravia; his head quarters are at Olmutz.
Amongst the points which are to serve for the basis of a treaty of peace, it is in agi-
tation, they say, to transfer the kingdom of Bohemia to the grand duke of Saltsburg, eldest brother to the emperor of Austria. The armistice has been prolonged 18 days.
PARIS, Aug. 31.
By an imperial decree, dated at Schoenbrunn, 15th Aug. his majesty has ordered, that to give a durable evidence of the satisfaction with which he has seen and approved the conduct of the grand army, and of the French nation in general, during the campaigns of Jena and of the Vistula, there shall be raised on the platform of the Pont Neuf an obelisk of 180 feet in height, of the granite of Cherbourg, with this inscription "The Emperor Napoleon to the French people." The front of this monument which shall be finished by the year 1814, shall represent those acts of the army which during these two campaigns have rendered France illustrious.

BALTIMORE, November 2.
Arrived sch'r. Financier, Sloat from N. Orleans. Off Matanzas, saw a fleet of 2 74's, 2 frigates, 1 brig and a schooner beating up to windward, gave us chase, but did not come up. 29th ult. off Hatteras, spoke brig Two Friends, from Boston for Savannah. Came into the capes on Monday; passed in the bay, brig Madeira, ship Rebecca, from W. Indies and pilot built sch'r.
Latest from Spain.
Brig Mary Ann at New York, left Malaga on the 25th; the Resolution, at Philadelphia, left there the 26th day of September; neither of which arrivals give any account of French troops "pouring into Spain."
The Romulus at New York, spoke a ship which left Tarragona, (on the Mediterranean 220 miles E. by N. from Madrid) on the 15th Sept. at which time they said the combined Spanish and British army were marching for Madrid.
Latest from England.
By the arrivals at this port, and at New York, we have very late details from Europe. There had been no new ministry formed in England, since the resignation of Castlereagh and Canning: Lord Grenville would not come in without a radical change. Peace between Austria and France and Russia is very uncertain.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 28.
Duel between lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning.
There was a meeting at Putney heath on Thursday morning between lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning. Lord Yarmouth accompanied the former to the field; Mr. Ellis the latter. After taking their ground they fired by signal, and missed; and no explanation taking place, they fired a second time, when the ball from lord Castlereagh's pistol went through Mr. Canning's thigh on the outer side of the bone, without doing any further injury than passing thro' the flesh. Thus the affair terminated. Mr. Canning's wound is not considered as dangerous.
The cause of this extraordinary affair is said to have originated in some official misunderstanding. The challenge was given by lord Castlereagh. Mr. Canning, we are happy to learn is considered out of all danger.
LONDON, Sept. 8.
It is reported that his Sicilian majesty will have a monarchy assigned him in New Spain, under the protection of this country, in case all attempts to restore Ferdinand to liberty and to his nation should fail. The reason circulated for this intended establishment is, that he is the next heir of the crown of Spain at present in the enjoyment of personal liberty, and one more likely to be well received by the trans-Atlantic Spaniards, than any other personage in Europe.
TURKS & RUSSIANS.
An article from the Gottenburg mail, which arrived on Saturday states, that the Russians having made a desperate attack upon the fortress of Ismael, were defeated by the Turks, with the loss of 3,400 men killed, including several generals, with 17 pieces of cannon. It is added, that the Russians have also been defeated in several actions, and that the heads of 500 of the principal of them have been sent to Constantinople.
September 13.
We have been informed, that vessels sail from France with English licences, under any colors except French or Dutch—These are easily forged. All men of war have not got the list from government of what are granted, and suppose the French merchant sends half a dozen with the same, except the same man of war meets with two of
them, the forgery is not detected, and they pass safely. They bring nothing but French produce, brandies, &c.
German papers to the 21st inst. have been received; but they bring no intelligence as to the negotiations. A private letter from Vienna, of the same date, (Sept. 2) mentions that the preparations for war which ceased on the conclusion of the armistice had suddenly been resumed in that capital with greater activity than before. The length to which the negotiations have been drawn out is stated by former accounts to have been occasioned as well by the jealousies of Russia as the firmness of the emp. Francis. The claims of Napoleon to Austrian Galicia are said to be unpleasing to the autocrat of Russia. Advices have been received by the duke of Brunswick that the Prussian troops have recently been ordered into encampments; but the object of this movement is not obvious. The brave Tyrolese are yet in arms, and, as appears even from the German papers, are very formidable and resolute.
September 23.
SPAIN & PORTUGAL.
Last night government received dispatches from Corunna, dated the 19th inst.
By these despatches it appears that the whole of the Spanish fleet has sailed from Ferrol for Cadiz. Agreeably to instructions from the admiralty, it had previously been fitted out by admiral Berkeley who had also emptied all the arsenals and embarked on board the fleet the whole of the naval stores collected at that great naval depot. This event must tend in a great measure to tranquilize our fears in that quarter.
It also appears that 25,000 Spaniards, who chiefly composed the army formerly under the command of the Marquis de Romana, are on their march to Cindad Rodrigo, to which place so much importance is attached, and for the security of which so much anxiety has been expressed. They were, on the 30th of August at Almanacid, about 50 miles north of that city, to which it was ascertained to be the intention of the French to lay siege. Lord Wellington was likewise preparing to interrupt that operation, should the garrison hold out until his army was in a state to march to their assistance.
We have also to announce the arrival of a fleet of transports in 11 days from Lisbon, by which several officers have arrived from Lord Wellington's army.
By this conveyance we have received the following particulars respecting Lord Wellington's army—
The army are huted. Head quarters at Badajos—General Sherbrooke's division extends from Loban to Merida; brigade of German artillery is at Loban; a troop of horse artillery at Merida, and also some cavalry, Gen. Crawford's light brigade of infantry is at Neila and Portalegra; another division of the army is near Campo Mayor and Albuquerque, the 40th garrison Badajos, and the 27th is at Lisbon; a park of artillery (four brigades) is encamped near Badajos. The convalescent sick are at Elvas—the worst cases have been sent to Lisbon, the light cavalry is at Villa Viciosa and the neighborhood. The army is extremely sickly—about 7000 sick, wounded, &c. The light cavalry is almost dismounted; a remount of horses for the 14th and 16th arrived from England, under Major Archer. That fine regiment the first or Royal Dragoons, commanded by that excellent officer General Slade, landed and marched into Belem (ten days from Cork) 700 strong, in high order. Scarcely a single transport in the Tagus, and only the Barfeur and Semiramis ships of war.
September 26.
Dispatches were last night received from Lord Wellington, who is at Badajos. They are dated on the 13th, at which time the army was rapidly recovering from sickness. One division is at Montys, another at Real, the third at Campo Mayor, and the fourth at Badajos—the heavy cavalry and horse artillery are at Merida—the light cavalry at Elvas. The enemy had not even ventured to make an attack upon the army, nor even to attempt annoying it in its retreat.
The French divisions were thus distributed: Soult at Placentia—Victor's at Talavera—Mortier's at Oropesa, and Ney's at Salamanca.
AMERICAN CONSULATE,
LONDON, Sept. 28.
The following letter from James Simpson, Esq. at Tangier, is published for the information of the masters of American vessels, and others therein concerned, that they may govern themselves accordingly:
Tangier, Aug. 26.
"I take the earliest opportunity of acquainting you, that by a recent order of his Imperial majesty, all vessels approaching any port or battery on his coasts by day, without hoisting their colors, or by night,
not shewing a light in a conspicuous place, will be fired upon with ball.
I have the honor to be, WM. LYMAN, &c. JAMES SIMPSON Esq. &c. London.
FRANCE & AUSTRIA.
In the Star of Thursday we mentioned that a report had been received by the Adland packet, from Gottsburg, that hostilities had been renewed between Austria and France. We have now to state that the duke of Brunswick received similar accounts yesterday by an officer from the continent.
According to the statement of the officer alluded to, the armistice was put an end to by the Austrians; the Prussian army, under general Blucher, had marched to cooperate with the Austrian forces, and the king of Prussia had himself set off for Potsdam, to confer with the emperor Alexander.
This news has made a considerable impression on many; but we must confess we are still inclined to scepticism.
On the other hand it is asserted that a Paris paper has been received in town, which mentions the actual signing of a treaty of peace between France and Austria, and that in consequence the emperor Napoleon had returned to St. Cloud, and was to enter Paris in triumph on a given day, when great rejoicings, &c. were to be ordered to take place. We have not, however, been able to ascertain by whom this paper has been received.
THE ARMY.
Gen. Frazier embarked yesterday at Portsmouth for Gibraltar, where he is appointed second in command.
In Middleburg & Flushing fortifications were raising, and every preparation was making to render the island perfectly secure from any hostile attack.
FRENCH ACCOUNTS.
VIENNA, August 27.
Desertion from the Austrian army is very considerable. Every day 100, 150 or 200 deserters repair to our advanced posts. Discouragement seems to prevail throughout this army.

ARRIVAL OF THE WASP FROM FRANCE.
We tender our acknowledgements to the gentleman, who politely favored us with the following Extract of a letter from N. York, dated Nov. 1, 1809.
"The Wasp sailed from L'Orient the 28th Sept. Lieut. Haswell left Mr. Armstrong at Paris. September 20. There had been no relaxation of the French decrees—Bonaparte was determined to adhere to his exterminating policy—No peace between France and Austria, and it was expected hostilities had recommenced—Mr. Armstrong says he means to return to America in the Spring—The dispatches which went out in the Wasp were not sent to Napoleon—The Enterprise was to sail from Amsterdam the 8th Oct. Mr. Armstrong says America must go to war with France or England. There was a rumor of a rupture between Russia and France."
Extract of a letter from L'Orient, dated 26th September.
"This moment I have been informed that the emperor Napoleon is at Vienna confined with madness—his physicians constantly attending him with Ice on the top of his head—This news is communicated by one of the emperors' aids-de-camp to his brother in L'Orient."
War with England.—Nothing but inevitable necessity and self defence can justify a state of war; that state which spreads misery and desolation, and instigates poor short-sighted and short-lived creatures to cut off each other, as fast as they are able, from the earth on which God has placed them. If unfortunately there should be found an inevitable necessity for war with England, we ought willingly to engage in it, but not otherwise. It behoves the people, as well as the government, to act coolly and considerably on a matter of such vast importance. Agreeably to the advice suggested from divine authority, we should "count the cost;" we should coolly consider whether the war be absolutely necessary, and therefore lawful, and also in what manner it would probably effect the public interest. A war with England would unquestionably bring great calamities upon this country. No other nation, nor indeed all other nations leagued together, could at the present time wound us so deeply as England might. She could annoy the whole extent of our sea-coasts, and thus keep the country in a constant state of alarm. She could stop a great part of our interior, as well as the whole of our foreign trade. At the same time we could not annoy her considerably, except by the capture of her American colonies. These could not be conquered without much bloodshed. The conquest of Quebec in particular, if it could be conquered at all, would cost this country many lives.
And what profit could arise from the acquisition of all the British dominions in North America? Most of the inhabitants would continue hostile to us, and could not be kept in subjection unless by large bodies of standing forces; the expence of which would be threefold more than the revenue that could be drawn from that country. Louisiana is a wen upon the back of our nation; and the British colonies in N. America if conquered by it, would be another wen upon its back. Our country is too extensive; and the increase of its territories would but the more weaken and endanger it. Many of those who now wish for war, would find it a more serious business than they expect. After they shall have borne, for a year or two, the burden of direct taxes and other heavy burdens which war would bring upon them, they would sigh for peace; nor would they feel any disposition to abuse an ambassador that should then come over from England to settle the difference between the two nations. (Connecticut Courant.)
Wilkinson once more.—The following article is taken from the Columbian Centinel, printed at Augusta, Georgia, by Mr. Samuel Hammond, from whose name, and some allusions in the piece, we presume that he is a son or near connection of col. Sam. Hammond, formerly a member of Congress from Georgia, and afterwards commandant of one of the districts of Louisiana. Gen. Meriwether also, was a representative in Congress.—Freeman's Journal.
To applaud the wicked in their unrighteous career would be criminal; while to pass them without observation would be acting
out of the duty of a faithful Centinel. Gen. Wilkinson it appears, has at length become so unpopular with the army, that there has been an attempt to mutiny. This is just what would have been expected. We know this "knight of the golden spur," and know him to be as unrelenting as unjustifiable in his persecutions. We admire the administration of Mr. Madison generally—Yet, while we rejoice that the presidency is filled by such an able and distinguished statesman, and have every proper confidence in the honesty of the man, we cannot but regret that he should continue in command an officer so universally abhorred as general Wilkinson. The following may throw additional light on the character of this arch intriguer.
Some years past gen. Wilkinson, general Picken, and of S. C. and gen. Meriwether, of this state, were appointed commissioners to hold a treaty with one of the south western tribes of Indians, probably the Creek, in order to effect the purchase of a certain tract of country held by them. Wilkinson remained at New-Orleans until the time for holding the treaty had nearly elapsed before he set out, and on his way passed thro' Pensacola, where he spent a few days. After he left this place he met in the wilderness two Indians and a white man on their way from the treaty, which was then over, to Pensacola. They informed gen. W. that their tribe had not sold any land in the U. States. He desired them to take a letter to governor Folch, and accordingly wrote one. After Wilkinson left this party, the Indian who had the letter in charge observed, that he was desirous to know the contents of the letter, for that he did not like Wilkinson. The white man replied that to violate and break the seal of a letter was held by his countrymen to be a crime which their divinity would punish. The Indian, however, averred that he did not believe such an act would be punished by the Great Spirit; and opened the letter, which was read and explained by the white man. This letter was delivered to governor Folch on their arrival at Pensacola; but the white man is stated to have kept a copy of it, or of the principal facts it contained. The general acquainted the Spanish governor, that the American commissioners had been unable to effect the desired purchase of land; rejoiced in the failure; and urged the propriety of his then making an effort to procure it for the Spanish government, as it had long been an object desired. To the copy of this letter or the facts contained therein, the white man soon after deposed, and handed them to a member of congress, who enclosed them to general Dearborn, the then secretary of war. Some time after, the member of congress alluded to, was called to the city of Washington in the discharge of his discharge of his public duties, when the white man and Indians in question, were also there; he waited on gen. Dearborn and informed him, they were in the city, and that he could then, if desirable, have a personal examination of them on the subject. No such examination was made, and all has continued silent. The facts were related to us by the member of congress who made the communication to the war department. We believe we have given them substantially, if not nearly as expressed. We shall not name our author, but if necessary can do so—He is a firm undeviating republican—no "MAN worshipper"—We would not that the public infer that this statement has been made to injure gen. Dearborn—Such is not the case. We think him honest; and if we are not very much mistaken, there is not a shade of difference between his opinion of Wilkinson and ours. We cannot believe Wilkinson is warmed with patriotism; nor can we think him actuated in his conduct by integrity. To do so, (after what has appeared against him) would be a fastidious affectation of confidence, inconsistent with that suspicious fearfulness which characterises a cautious and genuine republican. Who will say, these deductions are made a priori.
Scilly Islands.—A proposition of great national importance has been made to government by the immediate order of the prince of Wales, as duke of Cornwall, and submitted to the present board of admiralty. The object of it is to form a harbor in the Scilly Islands, exempt from the defects and dangers to which our ships of war are exposed in the ports of Plymouth, of Torbay, and of Falmouth. It is well known that the Scilly Islands, the "Isula Cassitrides" of antiquity, project like a bulwark, beyond the land's end of Cornwall, in the Atlantic, constituting the advanced guard of England, towards Brest and Ferrol. By his royal highness's order, these islands have been recently surveyed by men of science and indefatigable industry. They have discovered, and reported, that contiguous to the principal island, St. Mary's, a capacious, excellent harbor having three entrances capable of containing in it twelve
ships of the article on ships of the line. ships of the line, as many frigates, and 300 sail of transports, may be made a small expence. One million eight hundred thousand pounds will be fully equal to its completion, and it may be effected within two years and a half. Fleets might sail from thence with any wind, on account of its having three passages or entrances; whereas it is well known, that even independent of the dangerous anchorage at Falmouth, the same wind which permits the enemy's fleet to get out of Brest, chains out ships in that harbor. At St. Mary's, besides, we should be approximated to France and to Spain, as well as to Ireland: circumstances of incalculable moment in the present state of the world, when Brest and Ferrol both actually are and may remain in the same hands! From Ferrol, St. Mary's is not 90 leagues, from Brest only 82, and from Cork scarcely 58. Let any reflecting man weigh these facts, and form his own deductions. Yet has the present board of admiralty coldly received, and in fact rejected, this most important national object. If lord St. Vincent or Mr. Grenville were at the head of that department, it would have been otherwise received and appreciated. But what can be expected from such little and contracted minds as those to which our naval interests are entrusted. They are content to object that lord Howe having in 1792 caused a survey of the Scilly islands to be taken they want no new information as if in 18 years nature may not have made prodigious changes among those islands, exposed to all the rage of the Atlantic; and as if since 1792 Europe has not become a vast prison-house governed by a Corsican gaoler, of stupendous power and equal talents, who aims at, and means to accomplish our total destruction! This subject merits, and will surely excite universal attention. (London paper.)
Legislature of New-Jersey.
JOINT-MEETING.
On Friday the 27th ultimo, both houses of the legislature were convened in joint-meeting for the purpose of appointing a governor and sundry clerks of the pleas.
Three candidates for the office of governor had been placed on nomination by the democrats, viz. William S. Pennington, Joseph Bloomfield and William Rossell, Esqrs. and by the federalists, one candidate, Aaron Ogden, Esq.
A caucus, as usual, of the prevailing party was held the night preceding the joint-meeting, to determine who should be governor. We understand that the eastern and western democrats divided as to the person who should succeed the present governor. Neither, it seems wanted him continued, but each party determined not to resign its favorite man. Thus situated it was finally concluded to let the old governor go in once more and give up contention. On the opening of the joint-meeting, an eastern democrat withdrew judge Pennington's name, and a western democrat that of judge Rossell; whereupon Mr. Parker withdrew colonel Ogden's and governor Bloomfield was re-appointed without opposition. But for these plaguy federalists, who are so often in the way, it is pretty clear we should have had a new governor. (Trenton Federalist.)

RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloons, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string: Likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria.

But will endeavor to supply others at a short notice after my return. I have a few now made on hand, which can be had if applied for soon.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side plank, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the largest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
