Alexandria Daily Gazette, COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL.
PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY SAMUEL SNOWDEN, Royal-street, Alexandria.
Daily Gazette, 6 Dollars per annum. Country Gazette, 5 Dollars.
From the American Citizen.
DUANE , editor of the Philadelphia Aurora, is very angry with the President for having at length closed the differences which have so long interrupted the commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain; and he is not more pleased with Congress for having left the door of negotiation open. "What an awkward figure, he observes, does the tenth Congress now exhibit to the eyes of discerning men! (like himself!) Had the Embargo been continued, we should now have had the glory of settling for ourselves, and for all neutral nations, the rights of free ships and the freedom of the seas."
This is precisely the language of Bonaparte. I do not mean to say that the Colonel is in the pay of the Emperor, but it is nevertheless the Emperor's language. We know what Napoleon means by it. He complains of British tyranny upon the ocean, but would he not exceed it, if he had a similar power upon that element?
"The rights of free ships, and the freedom of the seas," is a little of Mr. Duane's blundering; somewhat of his daily tautology. The freedom of the seas being once established, the rights of free ships necessarily follow. There are two sorts of rights, to use the customary phrases: the rights of neutrals, of exemption from all search, and the rights of neutrals of exemption from particular search. The claim of search, in the first, is grounded on the law of nations: that of the second, in regard to England, on the mere municipal laws of that country.
With respect to the first, the law of nations authorises a belligerent to search a neutral vessel for contraband of war, for enemies, and for enemies property. England claims this right, which she founds upon the international law, and Mr. Jefferson contended, when secretary of state, possibly against his wishes, that the claim was a good one. The goods of an enemy, in the vessel of a friend, he truly observed, are by the law of nations, lawful prize. In these respects, therefore, and for these objects, a belligerent has an undoubted right to search a neutral ship.
In respect to the second, a particular search, or a search for and an impressment of men on board of neutral ships, which is tolerated by England on her municipal laws, that is undoubtedly an infraction of national rights. It is no answer to say that England has a right forcibly to seize her subjects wherever she can find them, for if this be true, she can find them within our territorial limits. Can she lawfully seize them there? No man of sense and reputation will assert that she can. If then neutral ships are parts of neutral sovereignty, and after some examination of the subject I am of opinion that they are, she can no more forcibly bear away men from a neutral ship, than she can from the territory to which the ship belongs. To search therefore neutral ships for men and there to impress them, is a violation of neutral rights.
But although the principle is, on this branch of the subject, clearly with us; although we ought to keep it in a state of animation by negotiation and remonstrance with the British cabinet, yet I would remark that as we are not in a condition practically to assert it, our government should be left to the management of the important subject, free from those agitations which intemperate if not mischievous men are in the daily habit of stirring up. While we are growing as a nation we should be prudent and do nothing materially to check our growth; when we are mature, we may hazard a war for exemption from search and impressment. A course exactly opposite to the one here recommended, was pursued by the late president, and to the unfortunate and premature and rash stand which he made may be attributed the great evils which for the last fifteen months we have suffered, and from which we are now happily relieved by the negotiation with England which Mr. Madison has for imperious purposes concluded. Facts will best illustrate the injudicious stand of the late president to which we allude, and go far to prove that if we again take it before our population is full, or nearly so, we may hazard a ruinous and calamitous war without, in all probability, accomplishing the object of it.
In January, 1804, Mr. Madison wrote to our minister in London, under the direc-
tion of the late president, a very able letter on the offensiveness of searching our vessels for men, and the illegality and cruelty of impressments from them. The letter concluded with directing our minister to leave the court of St. James if our demands of exemption from both were refused by the cabinet of England. We know that England has not conceded the principle, and yet our minister did not take leave of her court.
When, three years afterwards, the British cabinet heard of the attack on the Chesapeake, Mr. Canning disavowed it in a note addressed to Mr. Monroe, lamented the occurrence, and, if the reported facts turned out to be true, "spontaneously" offered honorable reparation.
But Mr. Monroe was directed by the late president not to accept honorable reparation for that attack, unless accompanied with a relinquishment of the practice of search and impressment of men on board our merchant ships. Thus trammelled, Mr. Monroe could not receive reparation for the attack, because, although the British government was ready and anxious to make it, for an offence distinguished standing alone, yet they were nevertheless determined to resist the other claim which had been injudiciously coupled with it. What is the consequence? Honorable reparation, that which would have been given and might have been received eighteen months ago, is now made without a word said on the score of search and impressment. This, as coupled with an apology for the attack on the Chesapeake, we have abandoned. Mr. Madison has found it convenient to recede from the stand which Mr. Jefferson had rashly and calamitously made, and which, relinquished at last, has kept us in broils and agitations ever since. While therefore the principle should not be relinquished, we are not prepared, nor shall we be for many years to come, to make anything like a practical national stand upon it.
BY THE LAST MAIL.
BOSTON April 27.
Arrived French letter of marque L'Esperance, capt. Deplace, from Bordeaux, 27 days from the Cordovan. Passengers Mess. Chaurcou and Stephen Lewis. She has dispatches, and was bound to Philadelphia; but directed to make the first port. Spoke nothing.
Very late from France.
The French letter of marque, L'Esperance capt. Deplace, arrived here on Tuesday in a short passage from Bordeaux. A French gentleman a passenger, politely favored us with a file of French papers to the 19th of last month, and a manuscript copy of a new imperial decree. A few translations from the papers, and the decree will be found below.
The accounts from the European continent, in these papers, are nearly a month later than before received. War between France and Austria had not commenced but the declaration of it was daily expected.
The French ambassador and the ministers of the confederation of the Rhine, had quitted Vienna; and all the troops in the north under the control of Bonaparte were in motion. 100,000 of the troops which were in Spain, had returned into France, and were moving towards Bavaria. The emperor was at Paris at the last date. We find little mention of Russia, and that little did not indicate any thing like her taking part in the war against Austria. The peace between Turkey and England is attributed in the Paris papers to the interference of Austria.
The tidings from Spain are late. Saragossa surrendered the 24th Feb. after a memorable siege the particulars of which fill three of the papers; about 10,000 of the garrison had passed Bayonne. The south of Spain had not been overrun, nor had Cadiz been invested. The French had entered Oporto (Portugal) and were advancing on Lisbon.
The Brest fleet, at the latest date, remained near Rochefort.
On the subject of American affairs, these papers are wholly silent. An imperial decree, affecting a part of our vessels in France will be found under the translations. To understand it, it will be recollected, that the French, have long detained American vessels under various pretences; but some time since an Embargo was laid on all American vessels in the ports of France. The new decree only affects such as were detained by this general embargo. They are permitted to return direct to the U. S. giving bonds. The others are still detained.
TRANSLATIONS.
VIENNA, Feb. 23.
The Wurtemberg and Bavarian ambassadors are about to quit this capital. The different corps of our army are to be commanded by the archdukes, and by generals Lichtenstein, Rosamburg, Klenau, Callowart, and Bellegarde.
PETERSBURG, Jan. 16.
The Austrian ambassador, prince Schwarzenberg, has had his first audience of his majesty, and had a conference of an hour and an half with him in his closet.
PARIS, March 23.
The Vienna Court Gazette continues to give all the absurdities of the English journals. The manner in which the events in Turkey are recounted, prove evidently that Austria has contributed all in her power to the peace between the Porte and England. Mr. Adair, formerly ambassador to the Austrian court, when he left Vienna, had letters introductory to the Austrian internuncio at Constantinople.
AUGSBURG, March 1.
The head quarters of gen. Oudinot's corps are in this city. Three Bavarian corps are to be formed in Tyrol, on the Inn, and in the Upper Palatinate.
March 7.
We learn that several Englishmen have arrived at Trieste, and shown themselves publicly. A British courier lately debarked there, and proceeded hastily to Vienna. For some time very frequent communications have been made between Austria and England by way of Trieste.
An Austrian train of artillery has arrived at Egra in Bohemia.
We learn that an Austrian corps has shown itself on the banks of the Inn, on the side of Passau. For this cause the court of Munich has ordered its troops in Swabia and Franconia to join those in Bavaria, who are to concentrate on the Iser. The garrisons of Ulm and Augsburg are already on their march.
NUREMBURG, March 7.
All the Bavarian troops are marching to the Inn.
The famous intriguer Genz has arrived in Vienna, probably to draft the Austrian manifesto. M. Stein is also at Vienna.
BURGOS, (Spain.) March 5.
General Sebastiani pursues his success. Marshal Junot and St. Cyr are approaching Valencia, which it is expected will not make any defence.
Saragossa surrendered the 19th February to the duke of Montebello (Laspes.) Such of the garrison as would not swear allegiance to Joseph I. were to be sent prisoners into France.
AUSTRIA.
From VIENNA, February 22.
"The measures which the court of Vienna continue to take, and the movements of the troops in all the provinces, no longer permit us to doubt that war will be declared in a few days. The best informed persons are convinced of it. Yesterday we flattered ourselves with preserving peace; which caused the funds to rise; but to-day I am informed, from a good source, whose information has never deceived me, that the battalions of grenadiers in garrison here, will begin to March the 25th, and the rest of the garrison the 28th, to join the camp assembled near Lintz. I am also assured from the same source, that the manifesto, a declaration of war, as well as the proclamations to the army are already prepared. The manifesto is conceived in very strong terms, against the sovereign of the Confederation; but very flattering to the people of the Confederation; whom it calls upon to separate themselves from the alliance of France, and to make common cause with Austria. The proclamation to the army contains new promotions—promises to the troops recompenses of every kind; decorations, advancement, and even gifts of land. When the army shall have passed the frontier it will be paid in ready money. The horses of the artillery are complete. The army divided into nine corps, will have 850 cannon and howitzers. A considerable part of the new militia will be combined with the troops of the line. All the officers have been obliged to join their corps. They name Klogerfurth, in Corinthia, Crowvia, in Gallachia, Ens and Wels in Austria, Collin and Pilsen in Bohemia, as the fruits of junction. The emperor and archdukes will quit Vienna in a few days."
February 27.
By the late military promotions eight major generals, are raised to the rank of field marshal lieutenants; and twelve colonels to that of major generals.
The first battalion of the reserve have joined their respective regiments.
Gen. Mayer has received sudden orders to take upon himself the command at Brody, in Galicia.
March 2.
Many young men of the most noble families, have offered to serve as volunteers; and the collegians have demanded to be formed into a battalion.
The emperor is about to undertake a journey. It is not yet agreed whither he is to go; but it is generally believed that it will be to Hungary, for the purpose of accelerating the levy en masse of his subjects.
The numerous assemblage of Austrian troops that have taken place in Bohemia, and appear to menace the upper Palatinate have occasioned the putting in motion of part of the garrison of Nuremberg—the remainder will shortly follow.
March 3.
Since the departure of the French ambassador, this city is no longer cognizable. The entire garrison has gone to Bohemia; the military service of the place being done by the citizens.
A vast number of officers, subjects of the princes of the Rhenish Confederacy, have positively refused to bear arms against their countrymen.
The imports have been much augmented.
The departure of the French ambassador has occasioned a very lively sensation at this place.
PARIS, March 16.
The Emperor returned yesterday from Rambouillet.
We understand from different letters, that an increased activity prevails in the ports of Ferrol and Corunna. It is not enough that the Spanish marine corps should have remained faithful to honor during a time of anarchy and rebellion, but it aspires to revenge itself upon England for the evils brought upon the country. It is said that even the Cadiz squadron participate in this sentiment. A great movement is projecting upon the coasts of the ocean, from Holland quite to Spain. The French troops have followed the English to the port of Galicia—perhaps they may have the happiness to pursue them further. Many means offer for penetrating into insurgent Ireland, and for seeking the remains of sir J. Moore's army in the county of Kent. When Carthage carried her arms into Italy, the Romans soon found themselves under her own walls in Africa, and the rival of Rome disappeared!!!
An epidemic disease was said, in the French papers, to have broken out at Saragossa, in consequence of the sufferings and hardships endured in the siege, and to have carried off upwards of 20 thousand persons.
Council of Prizes, Paris, Jan. 25. —The American vessel Susan, has been adjudged good prize to the officers and crews of the Italian and Syrene frigates. The same court has declared good and lawful prize the merchandise taken out of the American ship Augusta, by the French privateer L'Eve, and confiscated the same for the benefit of the marine invalid case.
March 13.
The late ambassador gen. Andreossi, has returned to Paris from Vienna.
IMPERIAL DECREES,
OF FEBRUARY 25, 1809.
Article 1. American vessels which have been detained in the ports of the empire, solely by the (French) embargo, are permitted to return directly to the U. States. This favor is not extended to such vessels as have been detained on account of irregular papers, or from any other cause.
Art. 2. The vessels, on which the embargo is thus raised, shall be placed in the disposition of M. gen. Armstrong, minister plenipotentiary of the United States, to guarantee their direct return to that country. The bonds given on their departure shall only be cancelled by certificates of our consuls, &c. in America, that their cargoes were landed therein, and were composed only of the productions or industry of our empire; and that no part of them was the produce of the soil of the colonies, or of the commerce of England.

NEW YORK, April 23.
THE ELECTION.
The result of the election in this city which last evening is not yet accurately known. The canvass is not completed. — Information received from the various sources before our paper went to press, the result extremely doubtful. — There can be no doubt that the cause of the principles has very generally prevailed throughout the state.
County of Kings.—In this county last week there were two democratic tickets, in consequence of which, the federal candidate had a small majority. This year there was but one democratic ticket, and in addition to this there was some disaffection on the federal side on account of some local questions; still, however our candidate succeeded.
In this county, heretofore democratic, the American cause has gained a considerable victory. Mr. Conner, a firm decided Federalist, is elected by a large majority.
Westchester is said to have given us a large majority than last year.
Should it prove the fact that the FRENCH TICKET has succeeded in this city, yet there is cause for mutual felicitation. We are given, to our brethren of this state and other states, honorable testimony of our fidelity and patriotism; and we have proved the political tide is setting strongly in our favor. We have every consideration to animate us to renewed and continual exertions. Throughout every part of our country the march of correct principles is rapid and rapid. The elections of the east and of the south prove that the people are returning to the Washington standard. — The principles which have ever been proclaimed and practised by the federal party, and will again govern our country. — We have, in all probability, prevailed in this state at the present election; and the result is not distant, if not already arrived, when they will again prevail in this city.
Alexandria Daily Gazette.
TUESDAY, MAY 2.
Accounts from Accomack state, that on Wednesday morning the 26th ultimo, Mr. Bassett had reduced Mr. Bassett's majority to 22, about 600 votes had been polled—the poll was opened that day, and about 300 to vote.

LOSS OF SCH'R. FRIENDSHIP.
The schooner Friendship, Captain Jacob Berry, sailed from Kennebec, on Tuesday morning last, at 7 o'clock, in company with the schooner Sally, Captain John Bowen. At half past 7 she was upset by a heavy flaw of wind, and two persons were drowned, viz. Captain Benjamin Rhodes, and Mr. Ellis Murphy—every exertion was made by Captain Bowen to save them, but the wind increasing so much, he was obliged to leave the wreck. The remainder of the people on board were saved—the widow Downing, of Kennebec, was saved, by taking her out of the cabin windows. About half past eight, a gun boat was seen steering for the wreck, and soon after came to anchor close by her.
(Boston paper.)
The British frigate Proserpine, of 32 guns, Captain Otter, has been taken by the French frigates Penelope, and Paulina, near Toulon.
Sloop Ann and Hannah, Rymer, arrived this morning—left at Turk's Island the 10th instant, a schooner from Washington, N. C. in distress. A French privateer had been in the passage the beginning of April, and captured a brig said to be from N. York, a Swedish schooner and a British sloop, and plundered several American vessels.

a loss for a definition of its precise import, in relation to the American property at present jeopardized in France. The phrase "par suite de l'embargo," ( in consequence of the embargo ) might seem to imply in a more extended sense, that all American vessels complying with the specified provisions of the arrest, & which had been embargoed in consequence of their papers not being conformable to the restrictions of the Berlin decrees, were liberated; while in a more limited view, it may be construed to apply only to such vessels as had been declared in a state of sequestration, in consequence of leaving the United States after the passing of the American embargo laws, which it will be recollected the emperor undertook to enforce. And this latter construction, while in its consequence and tendency, it has, (owing to the small number of vessels that were detained under this act) a much less auspicious aspect to the commerce of the United States than could be wished. This opinion we are sorry to say, is but too well warranted, from some of the late proceedings of the French prize courts.

SARAGOSSA.—It appears that Saragossa was not wholly subdued, until after the garrison had sustained 150 attacks, which were made night and day without intermission, for 45 days. In this memorable siege the French are presumed to have lost nearly 30,000 men; and to have encountered from the unexampled bravery of the inhabitants, every kind of opposition which human ingenuity, stimulated by patriotism and the thirst of vengeance, could devise. After the first breach was made, which was about 30 days before its final subduction, the assailants were so powerfully opposed in the streets, and from the houses, as to defeat the execution of any immediate surrender of the place—they were compelled to conquer street by street and house by house—for every house was a fortress, and was defended until blown up. The details of the siege are highly interesting, presenting a daily journal of operations for 30 days, in which the French were unremittingly engaged in fighting the inhabitants, and destroying their dwellings, one by one. Such unexampled heroism, is without precedent in the annals of history.
COMMERCE.
"In the mean while I see with satisfaction that our real citizens are preparing with spirit to provide for themselves those comforts & conveniences of life for which it would be unwise evermore to recur to distant countries."
[Mr. Jefferson's reply to the New-Hampshire legislature.]
The correct explanation of this passage is, that having been very foolishly in the habit of taking to Europe "comforts and conveniences" which we did not want, and of exchanging them for "comforts and conveniences" which we required; having been at the trouble of bringing the latter home, but having, at the date of Mr. Jefferson's reply, withdrawn ourselves from the ocean and relinquished the vexation of the exchange, it would "be unwise evermore to recur to distant countries for those comforts and conveniences." If this did not mean an everlasting embargo and an utter extinction of external commerce, words have no meaning. Well therefore might the friends to commerce be alarmed; of that commerce which has enriched us, and made us what we are, a great, flourishing, and until the latter end of Mr. J's. administration, a happy people. The destruction of our commerce would inevitably be followed, and upon the accomplishment of which I believe he was intent. I rejoice that Mr. Madison has decided that it is wise again to "recur to distant countries with our comforts and conveniences," and to exchange them for the comforts and conveniences of Europe. And the adjustment which is the effect of that decision, was so expeditiously, so handsomely effected, as to authorise a well-founded hope that hereafter we shall not be made the victims of unnecessary and ruinous suspensions of our commerce. If the administration of Mr. Madison be continued as it has begun, it will merit and [will certainly] receive the approbation of every enlightened friend of his country.
[American Citizen.]
A learned lady once enquired, why chymistry, geography, algebra, languages, &c. was not as becoming in a woman as a man. I will not say, replied a wit, that they are entirely unbecoming, but I should think a very little of them would answer her purpose. A woman's knowledge of chymistry might extend to the melting butter, her geography to a thorough acquaintance with every hole and corner in the house, and her algebra, to family expenses, and as for
tongues, heaven knows, one is enough in all conscience.
APOLLO AND DAPHNE.
The Abbe Regnier Desmaris, who, lived in the time of Louis the XIV. wrote several small poems in the Latin and Spanish languages; and in the Italian, besides a version of part of Anacreon, and several small pieces, a translation of the first eight books of the Iliad. His knowledge of that language, in addition to his literary celebrity on other accounts, was the occasion of his being elected a member of the academy Della Crusca, a distinguished honor for a foreigner. The following is in imitation, not of the verse, but of thoughts of one of his Italian sonnets.
[Anthology.]
"Stop," cried Apollo, "Stop, I pray," To pretty Daphne, flying, "I am," said she, but ran away, Heedless of all his sighing;
He still pursu'd, with many a prayer, Which hardly caught her ear, So light, so swiftly through the air The damsel sped with fear.
"I'm master of the sounding lyre, I wake its vocal string." Onward she ran, nor felt desire, To charm the Pythian king.
"By poets I their prince am hailed, The muses join my train." But ere this boast her ear assailed, She hurried on again.
"I am a doctor, and my art Effects most easy cures; But she with palpitating heart Still fled the god's allure;
The thought did not her coldness melt, But seem'd to speed her heel, The throbs of love she ne'er had felt, And did not wish to feel.
Luckless Apollo! all you said Impeded your intention; It only served to fright the maid, And shew'd but poor invention.
Vainly your heavenly gifts you told, Your cause they did not aid; If you had lisp'd, "I'm god of gold," I'm sure you'd stop'd the maid.

The following MEDICINES are sold by ROBERT GRAY, Bookseller, in King-street—and by N. HINGSTON, Fairfax-street, Alexandria—
LEE'S ELIXIR I!
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptions. A single trial of this medicine will prove its efficacious quality in restoring a perspiration common to healthy people; it dislodges and expels the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthening the weakened vessels of the lungs, thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms of course are effectually and permanently conquered. The great number of cures performed in 1808 by this elegant and useful preparation, is sufficient to astonish and convince those that labor under colds, coughs, consumptions, &c. of being immediately relieved, without saying any thing of the many thousands benefited in former years; however for the information of those persons, if any there be, that have not heard of the balsamic qualities of Lee's Elixir , we give the names of the following persons, who are well known to our citizens in general as persons of integrity and strict veracity. From the following certificates it will plainly appear, that a three year's consumption, a common cold or cough, are all with ease removed by Lee's Elixir .
Messrs. R. Lee and Son,
The superior qualities of your medicine, called Lee's Elixir , induces me to give you this certificate for publication, to point to my suffering fellow mortals the road to health, the most valuable of all earthly possessions. For upwards of three years I have been afflicted with a severe cough, tightness of the breast, lowness of spirits, and a gradual wasting of the flesh; having tried different medicines recommended for such cases, without receiving any real benefit; fortunately one of your advertisements was given to me—I immediately applied to Mr. Vance, 178, Market street , for some of your Elixir , which has contrary to the expectations of my friends restored me to my former good state of health. Any other information will be given by me.
George Harwood,
Market street, Baltimore.
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish for the good of others, the benefit I have received from your excellent preparation called Lee's Elixir . Being afflicted with violent pains in the breast, loss of appetite, and a debility of the whole system, which rendered me unable to attend to business, being advised to try your Elixir , I procured two bottles of Messieurs Warner and Hanna , which has entirely removed the complaint, and restored me to a perfect state of health. From the good effect of your Elixir I was led to suppose your other medicines were equally efficacious, which induced me to give your Worm Lozenges to my children, and with pleasure I inform you they had the desired effect. Any other information I shall give on application to me at my house in Sly's-street, Baltimore .
John Keller.
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
In December last I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pains in the breast, which continued to grow worse, during which time my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much, that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me, that much good had been done by the use of Lee's Elixir , advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna , which I accordingly did—and to those persons unacquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of the one bottle restored me to PERFECT HEALTH .
J. A. Smith, Market street, Fell's Point.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine is superior to any ever offered to the public, being innocent and mild, certain and efficacious in its operations.

A Runaway.
ON Monday morning last, a young and likely negro man slave, named DICK , left the service of the subscriber, and is now supposed to be lurking in or about the town of Alexandria. He is about 18 or 19 years of age, copper colored, well made, and wears his hair in a queue. He took with him shoemakers' tools, with which he is a tolerable workman, and had on a short jacket made of dark colored twilled Virginia cloth and pantaloons of the same.
As he went off without any sort of provocation that I know of, it is supposed he is harbored at some of the numerous tipping houses in or about the town, and perhaps kept at work to defray his expenses.
I will give Ten Dollars reward for his apprehension and delivery to me, or if he is secured in any jail and notice given to me—and if he is apprehended out of the county of Fairfax or district of Columbia, I will pay Ten additional Dollars .
