The Irish Bard to his Harp.
TUNE—Lough-Sheeting.
Adieu, my lov'd Harp, for no more shall the vale Re-echo thy notes as they float on the gale; No more melting Pity shall sigh o'er thy string, Or Love to thy tremblings so tenderly sing. When battle's fell strife launch'd its thunders afar, And valor's dark brow wore the honors of war, 'Twas thou breath'd the fame of the Hero a- round, And young Emulation was wak'd by the sound. Ye daughters of Erin, soon comes the sad day, When o'er the turf where I sleep ye shall say— "Ah, still is the song we repaid with a tear, And silent the string that delighted the ear."
LOVE AND THE ROSE.
A SIMILE.
ELIZA! see, where love's sweet emblem blows, The Queen of Flowers the mateless blush- ing rose! Both fresh, both frag'rant, both their thorns impart; The rose your finger wounds, and love your heart. Haste then, sweet girl, so swift the minutes fly, Ev'n whilst we pause, we lose the transient joy! While the rose blooms, while love illumines your eyes, The flow'r is withering, and the passion dies!
FOREIGN.
LIVERPOOL, August 9.
The fate of Austria seems decided: on the 7th ult. a decisive victory was gained by the French, and on the 12th an armistice was concluded; indeed it appears by recent accounts from the continent, that a treaty of peace has actually been signed. Be this as it may, no farther resistance on the part of Austria appears probable, therefore the influence of France in the north of Europe will remain undiminished; indeed, in the expectation thereof, the value of the exports of the Baltic is already enhanced. The ports of Sweden still remain open to the British but the general expectation is that they will be shut towards the close of the present year. Notwithstanding the reverses which the Austrians have met with, the British expedition has sailed for the purpose of accomplishing what was originally intended, viz. the making of a descent upon the opposite coast and the destruction of the vessels of war, as well in ordinary as upon the stocks: no official intelligence has been received of the operations of this armament, but private accounts announce its arrival off the Dutch coast, and indeed the surrender of Flushing, and the whole of the island of Walcheren. Nothing has transpired from which the ulterior object of this expedition can be ascertained, but a great variety of conjectures are hazarded on the subject. The political situation of America, with respect to this country, is again considered precarious, from the circumstance of its being understood that the president is empowered to put the non-intercourse act in force, provided circumstances should, in his opinion, render it politic: this having been adopted as a precautionary measure previous to its being known that the arrangements made by Mr. Erskine had been refused the concurrence of our government, it is conceived that on intelligence to that effect reaching America, sensations inimical to the preservation of a good understanding would be produced: indeed this impression has become more general since the appearance of the correspondence between Mr. Smith and Mr. Erskine, in the month of June, for the ratification of the arrangements made by the latter appears therefrom to be fully relied upon, therefore the disappointment produced, by the knowledge of the fact, is likely to be the greater. In this state of uncertainty, and it is conceived probable that circumstances may again occur to produce an interruption in the commercial communication between the two coun-
tries, American produce is sought after with great avidity; for the consumers, bearing in mind the high rates at which they were obliged to purchase during the continuance of the embargo, appear determined to be prepared for the recurrence of events which might tend to diminish our supplies, and are therefore buying very freely at advancing prices. So long then as the public mind is kept in suspense, we look for a gradual advance in the prices; for notwithstanding that the import of most articles has been considerable, the demand seems to have kept pace therewith.
ASHES.
Which for several days subsequent to the date of our last communication continued to droop, experienced a pretty brisk demand immediately on the impression, which we have noticed, becoming prevalent, and the prices have since improved; at present the demand is very regular. We yesterday sold prime New York pearls at 56s. but do not think that more than our quotations could very readily be obtained. Crusted and inferior pots, of which there are still a good many in the market, are rather dull of sale at 45s. a 50s. per cwt.; but fresh dry ashes pretty readily bring our quotations. As we are supplied with ashes thro' other channels besides the states, and as the experience of the last year has fully proved that these supplies can be made, in cases of emergency, pretty considerable, the prices are likely to be less affected by a continuance of the present state of uncertainty than many others.
WHEAT AND WHEATEN FLOUR.
The demand for, and the prices of, these articles, continue to improve; less however from the apprehension of the commercial communication between the two countries being again interrupted, than from the un-promising appearance of the crops, and the unfavorableless of the weather for bringing the harvest forward. Notwithstanding however that these apprehensions already operate on the market, it will be well to bear in mind that the improvement thus produced is the effect of speculation; and that altho' present appearances may even encourage the expectation of farther amendment, a variety of circumstances may occur to change the prospects ere the harvest is secured. At our market yesterday there was a regular and extensive demand for good wheat, and our quotations were very readily obtained for American; indeed we incline to think that rather more than 14s was obtained in one or two instances for prime New-York port.
FLOUR.
Too was in great demand: 49s. per barrel was obtained without difficulty for fresh New-York, and 50s. 6d. was given for prime Philadelphia.
INDIAN CORN.
Being scarce, meets a fair demand—There is yet no American RYE in the market.
RICE.
The demand for consumption continues very steady, and that for exportation is more considerable than might have been expected. In the last few days a good deal has been purchased on speculation; owing to which the prices have advanced about 3s. per cwt.; and those quoted can now pretty readily be obtained. Future prices will be almost wholly regulated by the nature of subsequent accounts from America; though we may remark, that in any event we do not calculate on their being below 24s a 25s. per cwt.
COTTON.
Until about the 30th ult. the demand continued limited, and prices appeared likely to decide a little; the apprehension of further misunderstanding with the U. States however immediately brought the dealers and consumers forward, and in the last week they bought very freely, not less than 5,000 bales, including all descriptions, having been sold; a part of those were however taken by the speculators, who, as well as the dealers, are still making extensive purchases, and our quotations can readily be realised for all descriptions. Some pretty extensive vestments have been made in Sea-Islands, which have been considered for some time below their proportionate value, and as they have not yet risen much in consequence of the present situation of affairs, it does not appear probable that they will rate much lower in the event of an amicable arrangement taking place; whilst, on the other hand and so long as masters remain in a state of uncertainty, they may be expected gradually to look up. The 400 bales Bourbon mentioned in our last, have been taken to Manchester by the importer, and that description being much wanted, would readily command our quotations.
FLAX SEED.
The demand for crushing continues very great, and our quotations are readily obtained for American.
QUERCITRON BARK.
Continues to arrive in very limited quantities, and our quotations can readily be obtained.
NAVAL STORES.
Again meet a very ready sale at advancing prices, and that is likely to continue the case so long as the matters remain in a state of uncertainty. The manufacturers are buying both turpentine and tar with considerable avidity at our quotations; of the former there are not now more than about 2800 barrels in the market, or of the latter than about 1200 barrels, which includes 2500 barrels lately arrived from Sweden.
PITCH AND ROSIN are now in very fair demand.
SHUMAC.
We continue without any arrivals of American; but as Sicilian is still in very good demand, we conceive that it would readily command our quotations.
BEES-WAX.
American is more enquired for, and the good descriptions are very saleable.
HIDES.
The demand continues very regular, and our quotations seem likely to be supported.
DEER SKINS.
Continue scarce and very saleable.
HORNS AND HORN TIPS.
Go off at our quotations, but the demand is by no means brisk.
TOBACCO.
From the circumstance of the prices having been high previous to the idea of any misunderstanding between the two countries being at all entertained, has not yet experienced any material improvement in consequence; some few speculations are however making in the middling and good qualities at 7d. a 8d. while the prime samples, which are still very scarce, command 9d. a 9 1/2d. per lb. The prospect of an export demand, to any extent, being materially lessened by the reverses which the Austrians have sustained, the low qualities are dull of sale, and it would be difficult to make extensive sales; several considerable parcels have lately been sold unseen, and without any warrants; leaf at 7d. a 7 1/2d. and stemmed at 8d. a 8 1/2d. per lb.
TIMBER.
It has now been pretty clearly ascertained that our importations from the British settlements in the present year, will be much less considerable than was at that time expected; that the exports from Sweden will be very short, and that of these a great proportion will be sent to the eastern ports of this kingdom. In consequence of this, and the demand for consumption being still unprecedentedly great, the prices of almost every description have advanced considerably in the last ten days: those which we have quoted can readily be obtained for entire cargoes, and present appearances are decidedly in favour of prices remaining high—Oak, from the circumstance of British being pretty plentiful, has not advanced in the same proportion as pine and hardwood—Staves meet a very ready sale at our quotations, and as there is a great enquiry for them, some little advance is probable.
SUGAR, COFFEE, AND COCOA.
The events which have recently taken place on the continent, and which we have already noticed, have tended materially to curtail the demand for these articles; sales can however be effected upon a limited scale at our quotations, and the holders generally evince but little inclination to sell lower, conceiving it probable that circumstances may occur to enhance their value before next spring.
INDIGO AND COCHINEAL.
Are rather dull of sale; a parcel of Guatemalas was sold last week at 4s. 8d. a 8s. 6d. per lb.
MAHOGANY.
Meets a steady demand for home use, but there is no enquiry exportation and we are unable to quote any prices.
DYE WOODS.
With the exception of the prime fresh wood, are but little enquired for, and prices have not undergone any material alteration.
DOLLARS.
Are admitted free of duty, and readily brings 4s. 9d. 1 1/4 each.
TALLOW.
Having having lately advanced considerably, in consequence of its scarcity in this country, and the prospect of short supplies from Russia, may probably be deserving of attention in America. The parcels which arrived here from thence some years ago were very good, and we think similar qualities would now bring 110s. Brazil, which is much inferior, having been yesterday sold 108s. per 120lbs. The duty on tallow imported in an American vessel is 3s. 4d. and in a British vessel 2s. 3d. per 112 lbs.
Printing in all its variety neatly executed at this office.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 12.
The following information has been received by the schr. Speculator, arrived here Sunday last, from St. Kitts:
"Left unloading at Sandy Point, (St. Kitts,) the schooner Polly, of and from St. Croix, whereof Benjamin Throop was master. On the morning of the 8th of August, the said schooner being about three leagues from the shore of St. Lucia, the captain with two men, put off in the boat for the shore, leaving the mate, John Vickers, and one seaman, a raw hand, on board. About two hours after the boat left the vessel, there suddenly arose a violent thunder storm, attended with much rain, the Polly became a mere wreck, having been very nearly before. The mate endeavoured all in his power, for two days and nights, to keep as near St. Lucia as possible and hoisted lights in the shrouds at night. On the second day, they fetched within 10 miles of the shore, but could not see or hear any thing of the captain or boat. The gale increasing, the schr. being full of water, and all the fore-rigging destroyed, the mate and seaman for the preservation of their lives were obliged to throw overboard the deck cargo and stand for the first port they could bring, which was Sandy Point, where they anchored on the 15th August. The fish on board were totally damaged, and the vessel and cargo have been put under the direction of Mr. George Passmore, of Baltimore. Captain Throop had with him the schr's. register, and every other document relating to the vessel and cargo."

Obsta principiis.
Rational Philosophers make experiments upon a small scale. The agriculturalist does not try them upon all his grounds at once, lest they fail. Not so with constitut- mongers; they begin at the foundation and stake all upon a single throw. I have seen recently a voluminous publication, as-cribed to Judge Woodward, closed with a project for changing the structure of the ex-ecutive branch of the government of the U. States. These essays, tedious and visiona-ry as they are, ridiculous as is their object, seem to have attracted the attention of the public. I wish my father's head to be at rest before his mansion is torn down about his ears. We do not know when it is well with us. We perpetually sigh for novelty, and like spoiled children we throw aside one toy and hawl for another. Surely there are those who wish to soothe their own inquietudes, by filling the world with confusion and alarm. Such gold blooded malignity is rare I hope. These idle innovations are engendered by a heated brain: they are the offspring of an imagination which pursues the glowworm, regardless of the wilds and morasses into which it conducts them. Such may be the Judge's case.
In the name of peace what do we want? Have we a good government? Are we happy under it? Are property, person, charac-ter, conscience, all that is dear to civilized man, protected? Why then throw away the shield? Why tamper with a system con-structed by our ancestors in a time of candid deliberation; animated by hearts pure as patriotism; guided by minds adorned with solid and extensive science? It is too pro-oking; what does this learned judge mean? He will have the constitution mended, and be the soberer himself. He is to be renown-ed altho' the temple of our liberties be pro-faned. The executive department is now so organized, that the President has a right, nay, it is his most sacred duty, to consult the heads of department upon all questions of magnitude. Judge W. will have in place of this, a Presidency consisting of a Presi-dent and four aids, with their fifty-four per cent. fifty-two per cent. forty-eight per cent. and forty-six per cent. He will have a Di-rectory peradventure, or nothing—Won-derful improvement! amazing wisdom!
Cedit Romani Scriptoris, cedit Graii. —Then to gratify a Judge who has nothing to lose, Congress is to debate day after day, and week after week, about calling a convention—and then, a convention is to be called, and this great people is to be moved and a-gitated from N. Hampshire to St. Marys; the goodly fabric of our government is to be shaken to its base, and the greater part of the community to be tormented with fear and dismay, in order that this Judge may draw forth our energies, and profit by the scramble. The lion is to be made angry and to cast the lightning from his mane, that silly boys may laugh from the portico. I do hope that the people, whom this judge cajoles, will put their overruling veto upon his plans, and teach him practical wis-dom, his great desideratum; that his fame is not to be built upon their ruin, and that the system, at the vestibule of which the immortal Washington laid his conquering sword, is not to be broken down by the de-clarers of this day. Let this gentleman employ his percentage talents in initiating boys into the rules of arithmetic.
He has written considerations on the sub-stance of the Sun, and has met with a rebuff in attempting to analyse the Moon. Let him not despair. The learned may still pore over "Consideration of the substance of the Moon."
It is really odd to see these political em-pyrics; they propose to pull down and set up a government with the same indifference and pomposity that a — in medicine or physics exhibits in opening a vein or strang-ling a mouse in an air-pump.
You say, is no argument—the judge has a volume. In the Federalist, written by Madison & Hamilton, in Wash-ington's legacy, in experience, he will find his refutation. That which genius evolved, heroes fought for, science scanned, and time established, I need not labor to prove. It were misspending thoughts. Wherever I go in my country, whatever I do, whatsoe-ver I see or hear, tells me, "You are hap-py, be content, and while you enjoy the ma-nifold blessings which surround you, lift your grateful voice to the wise and benifi-cent being who showered them upon you."
Things as they Are. Hillsborough, Oct. 2, 1809.
It is difficult to have a very good opinion of the patriotism of those who are always boasting of it. Zeal is not an evidence of it. If we deduct from the motives for zeal, what arises from party spirit, from ambition, from resentment, from interest, from friend-ship, how much will remain that is caused by genuine patriotism.

SIR, I have received your letter of the 1st of June, stating the case of the Carolina, &c. the fate of this brig and cargo, will prob-ably depend upon the issue of a negotia-tion now pending between the United States and his majesty the emperor and king, and which will, from my present views of the subject be terminated within a month or 6 weeks from the present time.
I can only add, that appearances are now more favorable than they have lately been. If there are any of your countrymen at Na-ples in your situation you will oblige me by communicating to them the contents of this letter.
I am, Sir, very respectfully, &c. (Signed) JOHN ARMSTRONG. Mr. I. Reed, supercargo of the American brig Carolina.
The president of the U. S. arrived at the City of Washington on Sunday from Mont-pelier.
The secretary of state also arrived there on Sunday evening from Baltimore.

I WISH to sell, the unexpired lease of 3 years, from the 10th day of December next, in the elegant and commodious HOTEL I now occupy in Alexandria. This establish- ment is justly celebrated as affording the best accommodations on the continent, and to a man of attention and abilities in the line of his pro- fession, cannot fail to yield a handsome for- tune. The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States.
Attached to the tavern, is a well conducted coffee house, supported by a respectable sub- scription.
Together with an insurance office. There are at present twenty four yearly boarders of the first respectability, in the hotel.
The whole house is elegantly furnished, and to a person who takes the lease, the great- er part of the furniture will be sold on the most reasonable terms.

A TRACT OF LAND, CONTAINING 1600 acres, more or less, called and known by the name of Buffa- loe Marsh, lying within 12 miles of Winches- ter, in the county of Frederick, in the state of Virginia. On about 900 acres of this tract there are several very well improved farms tenanted for life or lives, the balance free of all encumbrance, including an excellent mer- chan, mill built with stone, the whole yielding an annual rent of about 800 dollars. Much of this tract is very fertile, well watered, and all abundance of timber. It is generally roll- ing, but part of it is hilly and stoney, chiefly of lime stone. It will be laid off to suit pur- chasers.
Another tract, called Hollis's Marsh, lying in the county of Westmoreland containing about 2800 acres, bordering on the river Potomac, adjoining the Stratford estate, and the late residence of Richard Lee, esq of Chantilly. On the estate are a number of farms and tenants at will. Part of this land is extremely fertile, and all of it as good as the lands generally are in that part of the country. The Marsh affords excellent range for stock, and is happily situated for fish and fowls of which that river abounds, and must be a desirable estate to any person who may choose to reside in that part of the country.— It will however be laid off to suit purchasers. The above lands are held by deeds of pur- chase duly recorded in the general court,
Another tract containing 992 acres, lying in the county of Berkeley, ad- joining the residence of Rawleigh Colston, esq. of which about 660 acres is leased for the balance of the life of an aged man, the rest ten- anted at will. This land is situate in what is called the big bend of Potomac, and borders on it. In point of fertility it is esteemed in- ferior to none in that part of the state and is held by deed from James Marshall, esq.
Seven other tracts containing 1000 acres each, adjoining each other in the county of Mason, within a few miles of the Ohio, between the two Kanawha's on the wa- ters of Sandy Creek, which runs through a considerable part of it. It adjoins the lands of general Washington, and the late Benj- min Harrison, jun. esq. A large portion of it is rich bottom and the upland of very good quality. It is held under the original paten- tee by deeds duly recorded in the general court.
Five full & complete Shares in the Dismal Swamp Company. Upwards of 16,000 acres of Lands, being very old military rights, lying in the states of Ohio, Kentucky and the In- diana territory, chiefly patented in my own name and ready to be shewn.
A more particular description of the fore- going property may be seen by applying to Mr. Thomas Taylor, of Richmond, who is authorized to make contracts, or to myself in Alexandria. The titles are all undoubted, and the terms proposed are, one fourth in cash at the time of conveyance, the balance in three instalments the last two to be on interest from the date. Any species of the public stock and of the different Banks in the United States of Insurance Companies—of the Potomac Bridge and Turnpike Compa- nies will be received in payment according to their fair value. Ground rents in the city of Richmond and town of Alexandria, or Houses and Lots, will likewise be received in payment according to such rates as may be agreed upon.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S
Patent Washing Machine. First fill the barrel half full of your fines cloths, than fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest 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 bing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
