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.

Fifty Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Pittsylvania, Virginia, the 4th instant, a likely Mulatto Lad, named BARTELEY GUTTRIDGE, who was formerly the property of John Sutton, deceased Pinetop, Middlesex county, and sold to Robert Adams by Mrs. Ann Sutton executrix of John Sutton—BARTELEY is a very bright mulatto, his hair is black and very straight; he is from seventeen to nineteen years of age, five feet 6 or 8 inches high, and inclined to be round shouldered—there is nothing more remarkable in this boy that I recollect. He was bred a sailor, and will no doubt attempt to pass as a freeman and get on board some vessel, and by that means make his escape, as he once made the attempt when the property of Mrs. Ann Sutton, and was apprehended in New York, where he may attempt to go again, or to Baltimore, Philadelphia, or to some other port where he may get a passage to secure his freedom. This boy was seen crossing the river at Manchester last Tuesday. I therefore forewarn all masters or commanders of vessels from employing, harboring, or conveying the said boy away. The above reward will be paid to any person for apprehending and confining the said boy in Richmond jail, or any other jail, so that I get him again. Robert Adams, Pittsylvania. September 15.

MR. SNOWDEN,
A FEW months since I stated in your Gazette, that by experiments made in Pennsylvania, in feeding swine with boiled and unboiled food, it proved in favor of the former, as six to nine.
In a communication from the honorable Richard Peters to the Philad. Agricultural Society, he says—
"Sour food is the most grateful and alimentary to swine. One gallon of sour wash goes farther than two of sweet. Dry rotten wood should be constantly in the pen, that the hogs when confined for fattening, may eat it at pleasure. Nature points out this absorbent (or whatever it may be) as a remedy or preventive. They will leave their food to devour the rotten wood, when they require it. I have not lost a fattening hog for more than 30 years, when I used it. Some of my neighbors met with frequent losses of fattening hogs, till I informed them of my practice."
Finding the communication of judge Peters to agree with the experience of several good farmers that I have conversed with, I have thought proper to trouble you with the present for the information of such of your country brethren as have not the opportunity of reading the " Memoirs " of the above Society, which were sent me by one of the members.

FROM THE N. Y. EVENING POST.
TO call to recollection the blessings produced by an open, honest, patriotic and virtuous administration and to awaken a deluded people to a sense of the prosperous and proud days of FEDERALISM, compared with their present degraded and suffering condition under the all hinging and desolating reign of DEMOCRACY, I send you the following, which was originally published in the Boston Centinel.
Although the Federalists built up a beautiful and lovely edifice from chaos and confusion, yet as the materials were then pure and uncorrupted, the task was easy and delightful. But we have serious apprehensions whether the same can be done at this day, seeing the dreadful effects which the devastating and baneful influence of Jeffersonian policy, both external and internal has produced on the morals, habits and patriotism of the people of these states. We have only to revert to the deplorable political situation of our country before the adoption of the federal constitution to give us a true picture of the actual gloomy and desponding state of things, with the aggravating circumstance attending our present situation, that in 1788 we still were in possession of our virtue and public spirit, but that (heart-rending reflection) in 1808 we find them all entombed in the whitened sepulchre of democracy. But, my countrymen, ought we to be surprized, when, over this charnel house of our public virtues and happiness, has presided for eight long years the vacillating genius of modern philosophy, who from fear or affection to the Desolator and Tyrant of the world, appears to infuse into every act of his ruinous administration the pestiferous streams issuing from this poisonous fountain. Oh America! How art thou fallen. From thy high estate into what a gulph of wretchedness and misery art thou plunged! Oh my country! What an illiad of still greater woes await thee, unless thy infatuated sons speedily arise in their might & strangle that gallic influence, which, nursed by the too's and agents of Bonaparte, is now preying on your very vitals, and at the same time laughing at your stupid credulity. Recollect the fatal examples of the numerous nations who have been swallowed up in the same frightful abyss which has been marked out for us. You are now pursuing the very course which has led to their ruin. You now stand on the very brink of the precipice.—Think, above all, on the awful fate of Spain, the faithful ally of France for 13 years, and then shudder at the hellish patriotic doctrines which are taught you by the French party among us, who are sedulously and wickedly employed in enlisting your passions, against the glorious and righteous cause of the patriots, on the side of the perfidious and ambitious Corsican, who is now deluging Spain with the best blood of her own children, merely to place his brother on
the throne of the Bourbons, to scourge the nation with a rod of scorpions.
Fellow citizens! To comment any further on the following splendid picture, by contrasting it with the present sombre state of public affairs would be quite unnecessary. By comparing times past with the present, you must be convinced that there is as much difference between the easy steady course of Federalism and the wild range of Democracy, as between light and darkness. I will not therefore attempt to harrow up your feelings to the pitch of indignation and sorrow, which an accurate and painful observation for a length of time of the wayward conduct of our rulers has wrought upon my mind, but only exhort you to be zealous, active and vigilant in the exercise of your elective franchises, and by this mild process, purge our national councils of the president's majority. These men have not virtue, talents or energy sufficient to save their country from inevitable ruin by manfully and independently opposing the arbitrary and mysterious rescripts of a visionary, artful and power-loving executive, whose marked predilection to France and hatred of England has so far disgracefully tainted our public affairs as to have brought us into a state little short of complete vassalage to the former, and of actual war with the latter.
From the Boston Centinel of March 5, 1801.
MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTION.
"That life is long which answers life's great end."
YESTERDAY EXPIRED,
Deeply regretted my millions of grateful Americans, and all good men, the FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION of the government of the U. States:
Animated by
A WASHINGTON, and his faithful, virtuous, disinterested, public-spirited and high-minded disciples and followers,
AT 12 years.
Its death was occasioned by the secret arts and open violence of foreign and domestic demagogues: notwithstanding its whole life was devoted to the performance of every duty to promote the UNION, CREDIT, PEACE, PROSPERITY, HONOR and FELICITY of its country.
At its birth it found the union of the nation dissolving like a rope of snow; it has left it stronger than a threefold cord.
It found the United States bankrupts in estate and reputation; it hath left them unbounded in credit ; and respected throughout the world. It found the treasuries of the United States and individual states empty ; it hath left them full and overflowing. It found all the evidences of public debts, worthless as rags; it hath left them more valuable than gold or silver. It found the United States at war with the Indian nations; it hath concluded peace with them all. It found the Aborigines of the soil inveterate enemies of the whites; it hath exercised towards them justice and generosity, and hath left them fast friends. It found Great Britain in possession of all the frontier posts; it hath demanded their surrender, and it leaves them in the possession of the United States. It found the American sea-coast utterly defenceless; it hath commenced a system of efficient fortifications. It found our arsenals empty, and magazines decaying; it hath left them full of ammunition and war-like implements. It found our country dependant on foreign nations for engines of defence; it hath left manufactures of cannon and muskets in full work. It found the American nation at war with Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli; it hath made peace with them all. It found American freemen in Turkish slavery, where they had languished in chains for years; it hath ransomed them, and set them free. It found the war-worn, invalid soldier, starving from want, or like Belisarius, begging his refuse meat from door to door; it hath left ample provision for the regular payment of his pension. IT FOUND THE COMMERCE OF OUR COUNTRY CONFINED ALMOST TO COASTING CRAFT*; IT HATH LEFT IT WHITENING EVERY SEA WITH ITS CANVASS AND CHEERING EVERY CLIME WITH ITS STARS.† It found our mechanics and manufacturers in the streets for want of employ; it hath left them full of business, prosperous, contented and happy. It found the yeomanry of the country oppressed with unequal taxes, their farms, houses and barns, decaying, their cattle selling at the sign posts, and they driven to desperation and REBELLION‡; it hath left their coffers in cash; their houses in repair; their barns full;
* Even this has been wantonly destroyed by the "Illustrious Jefferson."
† What a sad, sad reverse do we not feel in this our day.
‡ Jeffersonian politics are fast hurrying us back to this gloomy state of things.
their farms over stocked; and their produce commanding ready money and a high price. In short, it found them poor, indigent malcontents; it hath left them wealthy friends to order and good government.
It found the U. States deeply in debt to France and Holland; it hath paid ALL the demands of the former, and the principal part of the latter. It found the country in a ruinous ALLIANCE with France; it hath honorably dissolved the connexion, and set us free. It found the United States without a swivel on float for their defence; it hath left a NAVY—composed of thirty-four ships of war, mounting 918 guns, and manned by 7350 gallant tars.
It found the EXPORTS of our country a mere song in value; it hath left them worth above SEVENTY MILLIONS of dollars per annum. In a word, it found AMERICA disunited, poor, insolvent, weak, discontented and wretched; it hath left her united, wealthy, respectable, strong, happy and prosperous. Let the faithful historian, in after times say these things of its successor if he can. And yet, notwithstanding all these services and blessings, there are found many, very many weak, degenerate sons, who, lost to virtue, to gratitude and patriotism, openly exult that this administration is no more, and that the "Sun of Federalism is set forever."**
"O Shame, where is thy blush?"
As one Tribute of Gratitude in these Times,
THIS MONUMENT
Of the Talents and Services of the Deceased; is raised by the
CENTINEL.
|| Would that the federalists were again in power to break the SECRET LEAGUE which exists with the Corsican, whose will the Paris papers insulting boast "directs the destinies of America"
§ What do they amount to now?
¶ Does not our present hopeless situation proclaim these words prophetically true?
** We trust, however, that the present trying crisis will make it rise with healing in its wings, otherwise we must continue our present voyage through the storms of anarchy and distress until we seek relief from our troubles and afflictions in the calm of foreign or domestic despotism.
From the Washington Federalist.
War with England. —The supporters of the administration, to frighten the numerous, are threatening the country with a war with England. They say, if the embargo is raised, we cannot avoid a war. I know our officers of government are wishing for a war with England, and would be very willing to have it said they have been driven to it by the clamors of the people against the embargo. But let those beware! The people will have neither an embargo nor a war, unless better reasons can be given for them than has been given yet. I speak a void language . The time has come for open and plain dealing—no mincing the matter now. The ministerial minions have declared themselves a French party—and we now declare ourselves Americans—full true-blooded Americans. We are not an English party, but we shall not involve ourselves in a war with England to gratify a French party. We are able to stand on our own ground—and on our own ground we are determined to stand. Our present executive has disgraced the very name of an American soldier, by appointing such men as Duane, and supporting such men as Wilkinson to command our armies; but this disgrace will not be borne by the people. We are not yet in the situation of Bonaparte's slaves. Our rulers must change their measures, or they will be driven from their situations in disgrace. The work of reformation has commenced in the east, and is travelling with rapid strides towards the south. Our rulers already tremble at its approach, and are using every means in their power to put off the evil day; but their exertions are of no avail—Jacobinism is rolling down the hill, and the arts of the Devil and all his angels, cannot hinder it from going to the bottom.
FROM THE SAME.
Revolution in Spain. —The independence of Spain, which notwithstanding Duane's diagrams, and the predictions of Jacobin editors, we may consider in some measure established, will alter materially the aspect of politics throughout the world. It is not to be expected that the Spaniards if they are able to defend themselves against Bonaparte will again submit to crouch beneath the rod of an absolute despot. Though it may at the present moment, be necessary to acknowledge Ferdinand as king, and to make use of his authority as a rallying point; and though the state of society in Spain may be such as to make it advisable to place him on the throne, if they can relieve him from captivity; yet it cannot be supposed they will deliver over all power and authority into his hands. The people of Spain now feel their consequence, they have found that on them, and them alone, depends the independence, the safety and the prospe-
rity of the kingdom. They will be enabled to secure the future, how they place the destinies of the nation in the hands of one man, who has been through fear or favor, sell or give away the people as the West-India planters do negro slaves.
We may therefore conclude, that the Spaniards, ten years hence, will be quite a different people from what they were ten years ago. They will in all probability be obliged to depend on their own exertions for support, as their rich and extensive colonies in America, though they may be connected in trade with the old country, will undoubtedly be governed by their own people and their own laws. Necessity will rouse the energy of the inhabitants of Old Spain, which for centuries has been sleeping, and they may become, what they once were, a great, a rising and respectable people.
Whoever will take the trouble to examine the map of Spain will easily perceive that commerce is equal if not superior to any country in Europe. It is well known, though government appears to doubt it, that commerce is the great spring, which keeps in motion the enterprise and energies of a nation, and enables the people who possess it, to grow in knowledge, wealth and power. It is likewise well known that the less commerce is regulated by government, the more it extends itself and flourishes. If the inhabitants of Spain can succeed in establishing a government which shall allow them the liberty of exerting themselves to obtain property and which shall secure that property to them when obtained, there is no doubt but they will become a commercial, and of course a rich and powerful people; without the silver of gold of America; which, while they possessed it, only served to bury the nation in idleness and indolence.
But the revolution in Spain will not have that kingdom alone: It will have an exciting effect upon the whole eastern world. A check given to the Corsican Usurper, he will never be able to recover. The nations which he is exercising a tyrannic sway, will not bear the galling yoke without murmuring. His empire is held together by a rope of sand; which at the least shock will be falling to pieces. When it is once known to the undisciplined peasantry of Spain, that to conquer the veterans of Bonaparte, they have enemies rise up against him in every part of his extensive dominions. The French themselves are kept in subjection only by the soldiery; and when this instrument of tyranny is once shaken, Napoleon's throne will tumble; and he may fall from the height to which his intrigues has raised him, with more rapidity than he mounted.
Should these events take place, what would the Spaniards—indeed what would the nations of the world think of the people of the United States? The Americans once the most enterprising, industrious and flourishing people on earth, have now changed situations with the Spaniards. Old Spain but a few months ago, hardly worthy of the name of a nation, by placing herself among the first defenders of liberty and independence in the world; and America, lately the second nation of the globe in commercial concerns and enterprise, has sunk to a state of apathy and indolence worse than that from which the Spaniards have emerged. Instead of taking advantage of changes in the commercial and political world, we suffer the trade of three quarters of the globe, which we might enjoy unresisted, pass quietly into the hands of the British. Instead of countenancing the Spanish patriots in their opposition to tyranny, our administration seems to wish for their subjection.
If the Spaniards can maintain their independence, what kind of return are we to expect from them for our enmity and neglect in the day of their adversity? Will they countenance us Louisiana, cede to us the Floridas, and give us a free trade to all their ports; or shut their ports against us; take possession of New Orleans, and declare that since we would not trade with them in the time of their distress, they shall not in the time of their prosperity.
FOREIGN.
(VIA NEW-YORK.)
BOLOGNA, July 18.
Her majesty the Queen of Spain arrived here yesterday, on her way from Naples. She made a stay of several hours. Her majesty received a visit from the Cardinal Oppizzoni and the Prefect of the department, who came to pay their respects to her. The chamberlain Bianchetti, who was sent by the Vice-Roy to compliment her on her passage through the Bologna, was received in the most friendly manner, and had the honor of being invited to her table. Her majesty continued her journey the same day towards Bayonne.
MIRANDA, July 18.
His majesty set out from Vittoria at ten o'clock this morning, accompanied by the deputies of the town and province of Alava, and the boundaries of their jurisdiction. On his journey he received the magistrates of the different villages, and in this city the Corregidor, the municipality, the civil and spiritual corporations, the director of the post-office, and the magistrates of the towns and villages which had come to be introduced to him, and in

every person of respectability and rank, was desirous of that honor. The anxiety which his majesty shews to inform himself of all that relates to the interests of the districts he passes through, with regard to productions, as well as the improvements to which they are susceptible, and the ability which marks all his enquiries, gain the hearts of all that have access to him. After the audience, and during the rest of the day, until nine in the evening, his majesty was occupied in business, either in private with his ministers. His majesty notwithstanding the inconveniences of a journey in the warm season, is in good health. It is difficult to conceive how a small town, containing only about 300, could furnish the fire-works, bands of music, and all that contributed to the splendid festivity which was displayed as a proof of its joy. July 21. Since the first of this month, general Clarke, minister at war, has dated his dispatches as Count de Huenburg. Mr. Lake, director general of the conscriptions, has also signed himself Count de Soccas.
LOUIS-ELIE, July 19. The day before yesterday, three persons convicted of holding a treasonable correspondence with the enemy, were shot before one of the gates of Hamburg.
BY THE LAST MAIL. SCHENECTADY, (N.Y.) Sept. 27
Latest from Spain. A gentleman passed through this city on Saturday last direct from Quebec, who reported that on the 12th inst. a vessel arrived there in 27 days from Liverpool, bringing accounts that the French and Spaniards had a general engagement; the French army amounting to 30,000 men, and that it met with a total defeat. The gentleman, from whom this information is derived, was under the necessity of leaving Quebec immediately after the accounts came ashore, therefore brought no printed accounts. The news was believed at Quebec and excited general rejoicing there.
PHILADELPHIA, October 3. WARD ELECTIONS.
The following is an accurate statement of the result of ward elections, held on Friday last, agreeably to law, for the choice of two inspectors of the general election, and of an assessor, for each of the wards of this city, to wit:     Wards. Federalist. Democrats.    1. Upper Delaware, 187 228  2. Lower Delaware, 186 220  3. High-street, 226 43  4. Chestnut, 193 111  5. Walnut, 175 140  6. Dock, 132 37  7. New-Market, 238 194  8. North Mulberry, 80 190  9. South Mulberry, 205 325  10. North, 192 179  11. Middle, 130 83  12. South, 149 65  13. Locust, 122 132  14. Cedar, 123 219  Totals, 2443 2321  
From the above statement it will appear, that notwithstanding their opponents have exerted every nerve the result has been highly brilliant to the constitutionalists. They have it is true, one ward less this year, but they have lost it by the most abominable villainy, and the citizens are determined to punish by legal means the perpetrators of fraud and corruption. The constitutionalists have reduced their opponents in Southwark and the Northern-Liberties, to small majorities. Mr. Ross will have a handsome majority at the general election. The constitutionalists have succeeded in 18 townships in Delaware county—the Jacobins in three!!!!
The new corps raised in the states eastward of the Hudson, are on their march for the north west frontier, under lieut. col. Whitting, of the regiment of infantry from Massachusetts; the companies of which we have heard on that route are,
 Capt. Easterbrook's,  Limb,  Hutchins,  Whitney,  Byers. 
BALTIMORE, September 21. FROM FRANCE.
The ship America, in 40 days from France bound to Philadelphia, has arrived at New-Castle, Mr. Baker, the messenger to France in the St. Michaels, returned in this ship. He landed at N. Castle and proceeded with all haste to Washington with dispatches. Mr. B. passed through town this morning,
gen. Dearborn accompanied him hence. Mr. Gallatin passed through on Saturday. We are not, of course, acquainted with the contents of the dispatches from France—whether they confirm the accounts of Bonaparte's further hostile proceeding towards us, a few days will possibly make known. Reports by this arrival state, that the America spoke a ship, when ten days out, which informed of the complete defeat of the French in Portugal; that the Russian fleet in the Tagus had surrendered to the British, and that the French army in Lisbon under Junot, had all been made prisoners. Whether Junot surrendered to the British, under Wellesley, or to the victorious patriots of Spain, is not mentioned. We expect every particular by the next mail from Philadelphia. The next French Bulletin will state that the Russian fleet, from "certain reasons, cannot return to France."
FROM THE HAVANNA.
We are indebted to the politeness of a mercantile friend for the following extracts from letters, written by gentlemen of the first intelligence on commercial subjects: Extract of a letter from Antonio de Iriars & Co. dated Havanna, Sept. 14, 1808. "We enclose you herewith a memorandum of goods now in demand, and those most likely to answer after the embargo is off. How that impolitic measure is suffered to continue in the U. S. is wonderful to the people of this country: although we do not want any thing from your states but flour and boards, we still might have carried on an extensive trade in other articles as well as those two necessaries, which the British will now very soon enjoy, but for your foolish embargo, which it appears from accounts per Osage, has had no other effect than to produce from the tyrant of the world, another insulting decree. The president of your states will shortly receive a communication from this government relative to that point."
Another letter dated Havanna, 16th September, to the same house, exhibits alarming testimony that our long protracted embargo will be productive of serious injury to the West-India commerce of this country. The writer says, "Havanna being opened to the English, considered now as an ally, we have already several merchantmen from Jamaica, from Providence and from Halifax. The Spaniards begin to carry on their trade under their own flag to Spain direct; and several expeditions have been undertaken which will yield a great profit.—Thus you will perceive commerce has changed very much to the disadvantage of America." Upon this revival, colonial produce appears to have risen considerably: Prices Coffee, 16 to 18 dollars; Sugar, 3 to 5; Flour, 36; Claret Wine, 50. We have been informed by former accounts that in Cuba and other parts of the West Indies, the inhabitants were beginning to turn their attention, wherever practicable, to the raising of grain. It is also well known that the inhabitants of Canada and Nova Scotia are growing rich on the trade rightfully attached to these U. States. We sincerely pray for the appearance of a saving spirit to protect and cherish the trade and independence of our country.

A letter received in Baltimore, from Barracoa, via Havanna, dated 2d September, says "A vessel arrived here this morning from St. Jago, brings advices that the inhabitants of St. Thomas are evacuating the island, on account of the great scarcity of provisions."
MR. MONROE.
Mr. Madison's chance of election in Virginia, seems to be diminishing, if we may judge by the renovated ardor of Mr. Monroe's party. The committee of correspondence, for promoting the success of the latter, has issued an address, which as distinctly paint the evils inseparable from the continuance in power of the ruling party, as the most glowing pen of a federalist could portray. We have thought it would be agreeable to our readers to peruse a part of this address. We have no design to promote Mr. Monroe's views or calculations; but we must not pass by the opportunity of confirming the validity of our principles, by shewing that they coincide with a diametrically opposite political section of the people. North American.
From the Spirit of Seventy Six. A principal objection to the election of Mr. Madison, and one which we deem unanswerable is derived from the present state of our national affairs. Our foreign commerce is totally suspended, our ships are rotting, our seamen dispersed, and gone, and our produce shut up in our ware-houses, our public revenue is cut off, and the deficiency resulting from that cause, must be supplied by recourse to the expensive system of internal taxation. We know very well that these mischiefs have originated in the unjust decrees of France, and the arbitrary regulations of the British council. But we are speaking of the present state of things only, and not of the causes which have led to it. The evils exist: we feel that they are great and our best interests require that they should be speedily removed. We ask you, whether it is as probable that they will be removed under the administration of Mr. Madison, who stands committed by his writings and acts on every question between us and foreign nations, as under the administration of a man who is perfectly free from that bias, which regard for consistency of character cannot fail to produce on men even of the purest principles, and most enlightened understanding. We may be mistaken, and we shall rejoice if time shall convince us of our error: but if Mr. Madison is elected, we see at present, no alternative for the U. States, but W.A.R., or an EMBARGO of indefinite duration. If on the other hand, Mr. Monroe should be elected, we think for the reasons just stated that he will at least stand a better chance to extricate us from the critical dilemma in which we are involved: and notwithstanding the groundless censure that has been cast upon him, for a supposed abandonment, on the subject of the seizure of British seamen, we confidently appeal to your knowledge of his conduct through a life of thirty years devoted to your service, whether he will ever consent to any arrangement incompatible with the honor or real interests of his country.
Thus, fellow citizens, we have presented to you a rough sketch of the view which we have taken of the next presidential election. In exhibiting this view, we have only performed a duty which devolved upon us as members of the corresponding committee: and in the performance of this duty, we trust that we have not departed from that candor and moderation, which we took leave to recommend in the commencement of our address. Under the influence therefore of a belief, which the events of every week seem more completely to justify, that in advocating the election of Mr. Monroe, we are promoting the real welfare and union of this country, we shall proceed with the least possible delay to publish his electoral ticket, with a hope that his committees and friends throughout the state will firmly and diligently assist in every arrangement which may contribute to its success.
