An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sundays, and will travel only in the day time.—On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.
Yesterday the Vault of the Court Room in the North Wing of the Capitol fell down.—Several workmen, under the direction of Mr. John Lenthall, the clerk of the works, were under the vault, lowering down that part of the centre which still stood under it, just before it fell. A loud crack gave notice of their danger, and all of them escaped out of the windows, or under the adjoining vaults, excepting Mr. Lenthall, who, to judge from the place in which his body was found, wanted only a single step to have secured his retreat also. But being under that part of the arch, the centre of which had been removed on Friday; he was suddenly buried under many tons of bricks, and must have been instantaneously deprived of sensation and life.
As all the buttments of this vault are standing, without the smallest failure, it is not easy satisfactorily to account for the sudden falling of the work.
Its construction was such as ought to have rendered it perfectly secure, and the vault of the Senate chamber over it, which is of greater magnitude and much bolder design, stands as firmly as when first built; although by the falling of the arch below, part of its centres were violently torn from under it, and all the central support removed from the remainder. It is now about two months since the cylindrical parts of the fallen vault, which was about 52 feet span, were closed, and the centre eased. The remainder of the vault, a half dome of 59 feet 6 inches span, was at the same time completed and the centres eased.—A few days afterwards, Mr. Lenthall attempted to strike the centre of the cylindrical part entirely, and lowered it so as to make it bear its own weight, but perceiving an unaccountable warping of the arch in one part, he again raised the centre, and suffered it to remain for two months. On Friday he removed it entirely, and so confident was he that the arch could not fall, notwithstanding the injury it had received, that after removing the cylindrical centre, he proceeded to strike the spherical part.
It was always the opinion of Mr. Lenthall, that, to use his own words, this vault had not fair play. Having been absent in the month of July and August for a few weeks, I received a letter from him on this subject, in which he did not explain this hint; but while directing the work on Friday last, he mentioned a number of facts, and which lead to a suspicion that some persons, during the absence of the workmen at their meals, had from time to time lowered the centres in particular parts, and in some had entirely removed the wedges that supported them; and as on Saturday morning two of the arches forming the floor of the Senate chamber were found to be injured by a violent attempt to drive down the key bricks, a number of which were forced half way down—the mark of the blow which had been struck being still very evident; I enquired into the preceding attempts and finding them verified, I declared my intention to consult the superintendant of the city, and offer a considerable reward for the discovery of the perpetrators of such thankless villainy.
I mention these facts in justice to the opinion of Mr. Lenthall, and as only one of the causes of failure, without attaching suspicion to any individual. I know none whom I could possibly suspect: for although the alterations in the public buildings have created me many personal enemies, I freely acquit all those whom I know to be such, of the suspicion of so flagrant an abandonment of all principle, and of all regard to the lives of those who labor at the works. The real causes of the failure, I conceive to have been a too early removal of the centres, and perhaps a removal not altogether judicious. And in as far as I might have controlled the judgment of any of those who are in trust under me, the error of confiding too much in the experience of others against my own opinion, ought to relieve every other person engaged in the work from blame. But after having safely constructed many infinitely bolder and more dangerous vaults without any accident, Mr. Lenthall's intrepidity occasioned frequent alarms for his safety, and his activity was such, that he often had incurred considerable risk alone, before any one was apprised of his intention. That he at last fell a victim to his zeal for the public service, which always out-stripped all regard for his own interest, convenience and safety, is most sensibly deplored by all who acted with him.
Mr. John Lenthall was born at Chesterfield, in the county of Derby in England, and brought up to the business of a carpenter. He was in his youth much employed in the mines, and had acquired a thorough knowledge of the manner of working them, and of all the ma-
chinery used in that part of England. He was not less acquainted with the cotton works, and joining an insatiable desire of knowledge to a strong memory and sound judgment, his acquaintance with arts and sciences, not immediately connected with his trade, was very extensive and by no means slight. He was also a superior draughtsman, and of his own particular business a perfect master. Though of very moderate stature his personal strength and activity was unequalled, and the command he required of all those who were placed under him was achieved by his own superior abilities.
The full utility of so many and such extraordinary qualifications of mind and body, so seldom united in the same man, was somewhat abated by a reserved exterior and a rigid adherence to his own principles and opinions which nothing could bend; and on a slight acquaintance his character was not conciliating. In the execution of his public duty, and especially in the control of expenditure he was so inflexibly just, as to be often thought harsh; but when acting, in his individual character, the benevolence of his heart could not be mistaken, and he was by all those who had known him long as much loved as respected.
He had resided for the last 15 or 16 years in America and was one of the early inhabitants of this city, in which he had invested the earnings of many laborious years. Since the year 1803 he has been clerk or immediate superintendant of the public works, and had in that situation acquired a reputation for talents and virtues, unanimously conceded to few. His loss to the public, it will not be easy to repair.
In private life Mr. Lenthall was a faithful and affectionate husband, and a fond father. He has left behind him a most amiable widow and three small children. Of the loss they have suffered more can be felt than expressed. He was, I believe about forty five years of age.
B. HENRY LATROBE, Surveyor of the public buildings.
FROM THE WASHINGTON FEDERALIST.
OUR democratic editors are continually telling us of the difficulties in which the government found itself involved, when the embargo was laid. "The choice," say they, "was of necessity to be made out of difficulties alone. It was not a choice out of goods and evils, but of evils alone." None of our very wish editors, however, have vouchsafed to tell us who brought the country into these "difficulties." The federal editors told their readers long ago, that such difficulties would happen—that the administration was taking the direct road to these evils—that it was inviting aggression from foreign powers, and that the time would certainly come when our philosophic executive would be involved in troubles from which it could never extricate itself, but by destroying the liberties of the country. The pitiful, whining language which our present administration has ever held to foreign nations, and the defenceless situation in which it has placed the country, has been the cause of our degradation. We should never have been driven to the dire necessity of cutting our own throats to save our lives , if the administration had tread in the steps of Washington. Mr. Madison himself foresaw these difficulties, and well knew what would prevent them, as appears from a speech he made in the Virginia Convention in the year 1786. He there said, "Weakness will invite insults. A respectable government will not only entitle us to a participation of the advantages which are enjoyed by other nations, but will be a security against attacks and insults. It is to avoid the calamity of being obliged to have large armaments that we should establish this government. The best way to avoid danger is to be in a capacity to withstand it."
What has been done by our administration to place the country in a situation to withstand danger? Nothing! They have, as Jefferson says, "for years been looking on the people of Europe, afflicted with all the evils which necessarily follow an abandonment of the moral rules which bind men and nations together;" never dreaming all this while, that those nations which had "abandoned all moral rule" with regard to each other, might sooner or later do so with respect to us.
Our best friend Napoleon, said our ministerial editors, is fighting for the liberty of the seas , and for the amelioration of the destinies of mankind. He, good, kind soul, will do us no harm. We have nothing to do but "look on as spectators," and rejoice at his mighty achievements, and we may always "keep aloof from the calamitous conflicts," which have been caused by his unbounded ambition in Europe. And as to Great Britain, she must soon submit to the sway of our good friend the "universal conqueror." But if she should maintain herself as a nation, we have nothing to fear from her, she cannot "beset the highway of commerce." So if she should attempt to injure us, or our good friend Bonaparte, we
can easily frighten her to terms with an embargo, or at all events we can starve her to death; she cannot live without our trade six months.
This has been the language of the democrats for eight years past. They have been literally crying peace! peace! when there was no peace. And now the danger has come upon them and the day of reckoning is at hand, they begin to tell about a choice of difficulties!

FROM HAMBURG, July 19.
"Every one here is in the greatest agitation, in consequence of accounts received here yesterday from Vienna. Andreossi, the French ambassador, not having received satisfactory reparation for the insult offered to his master, by the emperor having ordered prayers to be offered up in all the churches for the safety of the Pope, is said to have used most insolent language to count Stadion, the minister for foreign affairs. The latter has always been a decided enemy of the French. The personal invectives directed against him by the French government, which appeared in the Moniteur immediately after the peace of Presburg, have not contributed to weaken this aversion. In consequence of his spirited and dignified reply to the French ambassador, the latter threatened to quit Vienna.
"A few days after this circumstance occurred, Andreossi received a courier from Bayonne, and immediately demanded an audience of the emperor himself, which was declined under the pretext of indisposition, and he was referred to count Stadion. But whether he refused, in consequence of the late violent altercation, to confer with
the minister for foreign affairs, or whether he acted in conformity to orders from his master, is not known. However, certain it is, that he then addressed himself to archduke Charles, who declined every kind of interference, on the plea of incompetency, and from his unwillingness to break in on the department of a minister, who enjoyed in the most distinguished manner the confidence of the emperor. The most extraordinary circumstance in this important transaction is the knowledge which the public immediately acquired of it; whether the connivance of the Austrian government, which perhaps was willing to feel the pulse, or through the indiscretion of count Stadion, remains a mystery. It has, however, produced a very great fermentation in Vienna; and if the Austrian cabinet is willing to resist the insatiable ambition of Bonaparte, it is now fully convinced that the public feel the greatest horror at the perfidious treatment of the Pope and the royal family of Spain. They expressed their indignation so strongly as to loot some persons belonging to the French embassy. The government in consequence of those symptoms, and to prevent a scene similar to that which before had occurred in Vienna, to avoid the odium of being the aggressor, in case of a new war, published a strong proclamation against any persons who should be found guilty circulating disquieting reports concerning a new war—however, without taking the slightest notice of the insult offered to the French embassy.
"The ambassador was at last obliged to communicate his dispatches to count Stadion. The same day a cabinet council assembled of which the emperor and all the archdukes, who were in Vienna, assembled. This conference lasted from ten o'clock till eight in the evening, and upon the breaking up of the council, couriers were immediately dispatched into all the provinces, to Paris, and likewise one to Petersburg. The Russian ambassador, having had the same evening an interview with count Stadion, sent also one to his court. Nothing has transpired which could satisfy the curiosity of the public relative to this extraordinary dispatch of couriers, and what increased the anxiety, was a report that they were packing up at the French ambassador's hotel.
"The inhabitants here in Hamburg display the most extravagant joy since these accounts have been received from Vienna. Several merchants received last evening letters on this subject, all containing, with the greatest exactness, the same intelligence. In every coffee house, in every public place, the citizens already express their hopes of a new continental war, with as much freedom, as if there was not a Frenchman in Hamburg. What confirms this important information is, the conduct observed by the French minister and governor; you know these gentlemen are neither dillatory nor conscientious in their measures; but now they appear to be absolutely panic-struck. Some of the letters go so far as to assert, that Andreossi, after the conference with count Stadion, had demanded passports for himself, and all the persons attached to the embassy—and received them the same evening!!
"I break open the letter to inform you that Bernadotte and the French minister have received Estafettes about two hours ago. It is said they brought intelligence that Andreossi with all his suite, had quitted Vienna!
SALEM, Sept. 16.
The District Court of the U. S. was opened in this town on Tuesday last, and has been continually crowded ever since. There are numerous causes under the embargo laws, in some of which it is expected the great question of CONSTITUTIONALITY would be called up—a question in which the interests of the people of this town and country are materially involved. An argument on this question has indeed been in several instances offered to the government, but circumstances have hitherto intervened to keep it off; it must, we presume, be finally encountered.
BOSTON, Sept. 20.

An attempt was made on the night of the 22d ult. to set fire to the Navy Arsenal at New Orleans, by throwing into it a reed filled with powder to which a slow match was attached. The Navy Stores were also broke open, and some small articles stolen. The commanding officer has offered a re- ward of 200 dollars for apprehending the incendiaries.

VERMONT ELECTION.
Rutland, Sept. 19. —Since our last we have received but few additional returns of votes for governor. The Northern papers from which we expected to have rendered our list nearly complete, did not arrive as usual on Saturday evening. From the additional re- turns this day given, it will be perceived that the majority for Tichenor has increas- ed. But little doubt is entertained of his election.

Towns which have for a number of years been almost uniform- ly represented by democrats, have at this e- lection chosen Federalists. The towns of Stratford, Stamford, Weston, and Danbury are among the number."

Extract of a letter from a gentleman near Manchester. (England.) to his friend in Boston, under date of July 22. "Our trade is very good—We have as many orders as we can execute—of course the Weavers are fully employed and con- tented. In regard to agriculture, we have never had a more luxuriant season. Pasture and mowing grass in abundance—the crops of Grain, and Potatoes, promise well, and
notwithstanding the embargo in the United States, wheat is decreasing in price, potatoes 2s. 6d. per bushel and expected to be down to 1s. 3d."
LETTER
FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. Treasury Department, Sept. 14, 1808. SIR,
I had the honor to receive your letter of the 22d August, requesting to know whe- ther any part of the two millions of dollars, appropriated by the act of February 1806, for defraying extraordinary extraor- dinary expenses attending the war with for- eign nations, had been drawn from the treasury—and, if thus drawn, to what pur- pose the money had been applied?
Official documents, already published by order of congress, sufficiently shew that not a single cent of that money has ever been expended. The appropriation was made in order to enable the president to acquire the Floridas by treaty. Messrs. Armstrong & Bowdoin, who were entrusted with the ne- gotiation, were accordingly authorised, if they should succeed in making the purchase, to draw for one million of dollars on the bankers of the U. States at Amsterdam, and for one million on the treasury; as was stated to congress in the annual report on finances of December, 1806. The negotia- tion did not succeed: Florida has not been purchased; those gentlemen never drew for any part of the money; and the funds placed in the hands of the bankers at Amsterdam, part of which would have been applied to the purchase, if it had taken place, have, ac- cording to their original destination, been solely applied to the payment of the Dutch debt; as appears by the annual report of the commissioners of the sinking fund of February, 1808.
The evidence of those facts being scatter- ed amongst voluminous documents of no general circulation, I inclose a certificate from the register of the treasury, which will remove any doubt on that subject.
I have the honor to be, With consideration, Sir, Your obedient servant, ALBERT GALLATIN.
David Thomas, esq. Treasurer of the State of New York, Al- bany.
CERTIFICATE OF THE REGISTER
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Registers Office, Sept. 9, 1807. I certify, that no part of the sum of two millions of dollars, appropriated by "an act, entitled an act making provision for de- fraying any extraordinary expenses attend- ing the intercourse between the U. States and foreign nations," passed the 13th Fe- bruary, 1806, has been drawn from the trea- sury of the United States; and that the whole appropriation remains full and entire in the said sum of 2,000,000 of dollars, and will be passed in the treasury books to the credit of the surplus fund on the 31st De- cember next, pursuant to the 16th section of the act passed on the 3d March, 1795, pro- vided no part thereof shall hereafter be drawn from the treasury before the end of the present year.
JOSEPH NOURSE, Register.
HALIFAX, August 19.
Yesterday 79 Spaniards (late prisoners of war) sailed in the Idas transport, for Hav- anna. They appeared extremely grateful and happy on the occasion. The following note had been previously addressed to them and had effectually prevented any riot or dis- turbance:
August 13, 1808.
SPANIARDS, I ANNOUNCE to you the joyous news of peace, between your nation and that of Great Britain, and that we are now unit- ed in one cause; that of driving from your country, the usurper and the tyrant of man- kind, Bonaparte, who has ensnared your king and attempted to place on your shoul- ders the yoke of slavery.
On Monday you will have your liberty, and a vessel furnished to carry you to your wives and families, and to the support of your brethren in arms.
I command you, however, not to commit acts of Riot, with your fellow prisoners, (Frenchmen) but conduct yourselves with that dignity and moderation for which the Spanish nation has ever been famed.
JOHN MACKELLAR.
Agent for prisoners of War.
Extract of a letter from a commercial house in Liverpool to another in New-York, dat- ed 25th July. "The papers agree in representing the account brought by the St. Michaels to be, that the French government is unequivocal- ly conciliatory towards America, and dis-
posed to remove its blockading decrees. If so, our government, we conceive, will rea- dily withdraw its orders in council."
"The stand made in Spain and Portugal against the ascendancy of France, appears to be very general and very steady. A large armament has sailed from this country to the Tagus, where there is no doubt it has now arrived; and another is getting ready with every expedition to co-operate with Spain."
"The effect of these events, which have so unexpectedly arisen, has been very con- siderable among our manufacturers. We quote Sea-island cotton prime 2s. 8d. to 3s. good 30d. to 32d. fair 28d. to 30d. middling 24d. to 28d. Upland new 22 to 23d. old 16 to 22d. Tennessees 20 to 21 1-2d. Or- leans 23 to 25d. Wheat is very dull, and our quotations of American 11s. to 11s. 6d. per 70 lbs. Potashes 34 to 36s. Pearls 74 to 76s. per cwt. In naval stores little has been done the last week. Rice without any variation."
"By an act lately passed to regulate the trade between this country and America, we observe that the duty on American cot- ton imported in American ships will be higher than before by about a penny per lb. In English ships it remains the same, say 16s. 10 1-2d. per 100 lbs. while in American it will be 25s. 5d. Ashes in American ships will pay about 3s. per cwt. more than before, in the whole 4s. 9d. and timber by this act will be liable to about four times the former duty."
PRESIDENT JEFFERSON'S ANSWER TO THE DISSENT OF THE REPUBLICANS
From the proceedings of the town of Boston relative to the Embargo.
I have duly received the address of that portion of the citizens of Boston, who have declared their approbation of the present suspension of our commerce, and their dis- sent from the representation of those of the same place who wished its removal. A di- vision of sentiment was not unexpected.— On no question can a perfect unanimity be hoped, or certainly it would have been on that between war and embargo, the only al- ternatives presented to our choice; for the general capture of our vessels would have been war on one side, which reason and in- terest would repel by war and reprisal on our part.
Of the several interests composing those of the United States, that of manufactures would of course prefer to war, a state of non-intercourse, so favorable to their rapid growth and prosperity. Agriculture, al- though sensibly feeling the loss of market for its produce, would find many aggra- vations in a state of war. Commerce and na- vigation, or that portion which is foreign, in the inactivity to which they are reduced by the present state of things, certainly ex- perience their full share in the general in- convenience: but whether war would to them be a preferable alternative, is a ques- tion their patriotism would never hastily propose. It is to be regretted, however, that overlooking the real sources of their suffering, the British and French edicts, which constitute the actual blockade of our foreign commerce and navigation, they have with too little reflection, imputed them to laws which have saved them from greater, and have preserved for our own use our vessels, property and seamen, instead of adding them to the strength of those with whom we might eventually have to con- tend.
The Embargo, giving to the belligerent powers to reserve their unjust proceedings, and to listen to the dictates of justice, of in- terest and reputation, which equally urge the correction of their wrongs, has availed our country of the only honorable expedient of avoiding war: and should a repeal of these edicts supercede the cause for it, our commercial brethren will become sensible that it has consulted their interests, however against their own will. It will be unfortu- nate for their country if in the mean time, these their expressions of impatience should have the effect of prolonging the very suf- ferings which have produced them, by ex- citing a fallacious hope that we may, under any pressure, relinquish our equal right of navigating the ocean, go to such ports as o- thers may prescribe, and there pay the tri- butary exactions they may impose: an a- bandonment of national independence and essential rights, revolting to every man- ly sentiment. While these edicts are in force, no American can ever consent to a re- turn of a peaceable intercourse with those who maintain them.
I am happy in the approach of the period when the feelings and the wisdom of the na- tion will be collected in their representatives assembled together. To them are commit- ted our rights, to them our wrongs are known, and they will pronounce the remedy they call for; and I hear with pleasure from
all, as well those who approve, as who dis- approve of the present measures, assurances, of an implicit acquiescence in their enuncia- tion of the general will.
I beg leave through you to communicate this answer to the address on which your signature held the first place, and to add as- surances of my respect.
TH: JEFFERSON. Col. PROCTER.

FOR SALE,
My SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Machodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattox Bridge. The situation is healthy, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improvements alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for building and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses.
The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—to which are annexed a well laid off productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.
Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved.
In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Negroes, my Plantation utensils, some Household and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a part of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foal-getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchasers own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CLEGG, Esq. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
