Tavern Lease for Sale. THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight ears, from the first of December next, to June; which for convenience, it is believed, excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS, There is a variant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.

IN the southern states it is a custom, says the New-York Review, for the candidates who are set up for representatives to Congress, to circulate an address among the electors, setting forth their political sentiments, & stating their views of the great national concerns, upon which it is likely they may be called to deliberate, should they be chosen. The following is extracted from an address of the kind, by Mr. John Stanly, who is a candidate for a district in North Carolina. It is so well written, and contains sentiments so congenial to my own, that I could not resist the temptation to republish it. The reader may depend that the time he shall spend in perusing this, will not be lost. Had our representatives in Congress been all such men as Mr. Stanly, we had never been embargoed.
"Satisfied that a republican form of government is best calculated to promote the happiness and secure the equal rights of man, and convinced that the federal constitution of the United States is the best form of republican government ever devised, I cherish for it the warmest attachment; to guard it against violation or abuse is the fervent wish of my heart. Venerating the precept of our immortal Washington, that "excessive partiality for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike of another, cause those whom they attract to see danger only on the one side, and serve to veil and even to second the arts of influence on the other," and believing it a wise rule of conduct towards them to consider all "enemies in war, and in peace friends," I never have, and I trust never shall feel an undue attachment for, or prejudice against any foreign nation. With these principles deeply fixed, and solemnly professed, I claim the character of an American and a republican.
"Blessed as a freeman with the privilege of thinking as of acting for myself, and unable to ascribe infallibility to mortal, I have often differed as to the expediency of measures from the present administration. What I thought right, I have without reserve commended; what appeared to my understanding ill judged, I have as freely condemned. An honest independence, and I trust an honorable pride, has never permitted me to descend to the humiliation of masking my political sentiments. I have pursued the course pointed out by integrity, though the path of popularity may at times have led a different way. Yet on this foundation does the charge rest, that those who deny the wisdom of the measures of the present administration, are not republicans! In the place of this independence, we find gentlemen calling themselves patriots and republicans, substituting the doctrine of "Confidence in the Executive," the practice under which in substance transfers the power of legislation from the representatives of the people to the President. At the suggestion of the President, we find Congress in their late session laying an embargo, which holds in its palsyng grip the expiring commerce and resources of our country: whose destructive operation hourly produces ruin to thousands, and encreases distress to all. When time is demanded to reflect and obtain information of the hidden reasons of this deadly measure, the reply from its eloquent and much admired advocate (Mr. John Quincy Adams) is, "the President has recommended the measure, I would not consider, I would not deliberate; I would act." When in the same session, repeated attempts were made to obtain from the President information of our situation in regard to France, to enable our representatives to act with understanding on the subject, and to remove the curtain of mystery and darkness which shrouded the alleged grounds of the embargo, and the proceedings of Congress thereon, we find a large majority infatuated with a blind confidence in the President, preferring to grope in the dark and keep their constituents in ignorance rather than ask for light, and repeatedly voting against such calls for information: When at length the demands were no longer to be resisted, and the President yielding to the necessity, communicated to Congress the dispatches from France, we find the same majority repeatedly voting against giving to the people any information of the contents of these papers:—until at the intimation of the President, these very men, who had decided not to make public the papers communicated, wheel about and unanimously do that at his request which they had a few hours before treated as improper! We see the advocates of the doctrine "that the militia are the only reliance in time of danger," the men who under the former administration, in a situation of public affairs not less critical nor less requiring measures of energy, vehemently reproached the raising of regular forces, we see them at the call of the President, voting an increase of six thousand five hundred men to the standing army, at the very moment when one hundred thousand militia, principally volunteers, stand bound and willing at the shortest notice, to march to the point of honor and of danger. At his call, we see millions expended upon gun boats, that twin booby of a dry dock, to guide our commerce at home,
while at sea (when we were permitted to have any there) it was abandoned to the mercy of every picaroon: a scheme doubtless as wise as that of a farmer who bestows all his care in securing his barn, while his crop remains without a fence. Finally we discover the same persons who arrogate to themselves the exclusive title of Republicans, giving the strongest evidence of the justice of their claim by a delegation of all legislative power on the subject of the Embargo, to the executive in the recess of Congress, authorising him to remove it when and when only his judgment should declare it safe and expedient, thus placing the whole commerce of the country in the power of a single man.
"This 'Confidence in the executive,' this practical doctrine, 'that the President can do no wrong,' the partial operation of which I have displayed, would comport with true allegiance to a monarch.—To a Republican it is treason. It fast 'forges the chains to bind us to an imperial car;' prepares us to receive the fetters of a despot. By such complaisance, Cromwell the friend, the protector of the people was seated on the English throne and Bonaparte, commencing an elective officer, became first Consul for life, then Emperor, and now aspires to the dictatorship of the whole world. The humble Christian would not relinquish the title though all the infidels upon earth should call themselves Christians.—Nor to this servile doctrine of 'confidence in the executive' will I ever subscribe, though those who do, choose to call themselves Republicans."
From the Philadelphia Gazette.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
Extract from an Official Dispatch from the marquis de Casa Yrujo, minister of Spain near the United States, to Don Pedro C. Vallós, secretary for foreign affairs at Madrid, dated Philadelphia, Dec. 18, 1806, translated from the Spanish by Peter S. Duponceau, esq. sworn Interpreter of Foreign Languages, for the state of Pennsylvania:—
EXTRACT.
"Knowing the connexion of Wilkinson, considering his irregular movements, and connecting them with other collateral circumstances, there can be no doubt but that Burr's principal object is the separation of the Western states. It is very unlikely that a man of his penetration should put at hazard the issue of so important an undertaking, by attacking the Spanish possessions, and thereby raising against it a powerful enemy; at the same time it is very certain that Kentucky, the principal of the western states, is much divided in opinion. This has been just confirmed by the news which was received the day before yesterday, by which we are informed, that an attempt was made in the legislature of that state, to call a convention, no doubt with a view to propose in a legal manner, the separation of that state from the union. The motion was carried in the Senate, but was rejected in the House of Representatives. Excepting then a partial opposition in the state of Kentucky, it is very natural that Burr, who knew beforehand the state of the public mind, should have taken measures to obtain at the point of the bayonet, that which he did not flatter himself to obtain by the mere force of persuasion, and it is indubitable, that with a force of two or three thousand men well armed, he may carry his plan into execution.
"In order to put congress more completely under the impossibility of taking coercive measures, Wilkinson, who undoubtedly acts in concert with Burr, has, under the pretence of danger on the frontier of Terras, endeavored to draw all the disposable force of the United States to that distant point; and in order that orders should not be given to weaken his little army, he is clearly inventing incidents to keep it together. We were informed some time ago, that he had dismissed all the militia which had been sent to him from the Mississippi territory, from New Orleans, Atacapas, and Opelousa, in consequence of a convention he had made with the Spanish commandant, that the latter should withdraw to the westward of the Sabine, and that the American troops should withdraw in the same manner to Nachitoches, and that the territory in controversy should be completely evacuated by both parties until its fate should be decided by negotiation. By the last news from that country, we are informed that gen. Wilkinson, well known by the number 13, instead of acting as by the said convention it was to have been expected, and affecting great zeal for the interests of the United States, was going to advance with his little army, as far as the river Sabine, on the eastern bank of which he intended to erect a fort. This movement must have produced fresh embarrassments at least in appearance. The Spanish commandant, it was said, was going to oppose himself to Wilkinson's resolution, and
in this manner a kind of crisis has been produced, by means of which the federal government will not dare to diminish his force by drawing them to other points.
"From all this it results that the small effective force of the United States, will, in fact, be of no use to them to prevent or counteract the movements of Burr, and that he will have free scope for all his operations at the outset, flattering himself, no doubt, that he will, by the influence of the commander in chief, and by the offers which he may make to the troops of double rations, grants of land, and other temptations of the same nature, to bring them over to their party. By this means, we may perceive the motives which may have induced Burr to levy a considerable armed force, to purchase provisions, and, in one word, we find a key to all the apparently inconsistent movements of general Wilkinson."
Thus it appears, that brig. gen. James Wilkinson, commander in chief of the army of the U. States, the proven pensioner of Spain, well known to the Spanish court under the appellation of Number 13, and lately acquitted by a court of enquiry, composed of cols. Burbeck, Williams and Cushing, has been acting in concert with Aaron Burr, to sever the Western from the Atlantic states, and rob his country of those liberties which he was entrusted with the sacred charge of protecting and defending.
On perusing this interesting and confidential dispatch from the Marquis to his Court, it can no longer be doubted by even the most obstinate sceptic in Wilkinson's infidelity, that had Burr succeeded in collecting 2 or 3000 men, and descending the Mississippi, the predictions of the Marquis would have been amply and fatally verified, and the ostentatious farce of patriotism, acted by the commander in chief on the Sabine, would have been succeeded by the tragical catastrophe of his junction with Burr, and the successful accomplishment of all their ulterior views. It would surely be an insult on common sense, and a degrading slander on the subtle genius of gen. Wilkinson, to attempt to prove what is so obvious and self evident, to wit, that the course he pursued (after learning from Swartwout, Bollman, and through other channels, of the probable failure of Burr's plan, and the impossibility of his efficient co-operation from the want of resources) was the only one which could possibly extricate him from his critical dilemma, and save him from detection and inevitable destruction. With that crafty versatility which has heretofore enabled him to accommodate himself to various parties, countries and emergencies, we here witness the general accomplishing with admirable dexterity a two fold object, by first persuading the Spanish commander Herrera, that he had saved his master's possessions from the overwhelming torrent of Burr's innumerable force, and secondly, by assuming the merit of defeating a conspiracy, suddenly descending to and fortifying New Orleans, though as secure from any danger but himself, as the city of Philadelphia, for the public must recollect, that Cowles Meade, with a handful of militia & volunteers, arrested the miserable fugitive Burr at Bayou Pierre, while Wilkinson was convulsing all Lower Louisiana by condemnations, seizures and transportation, the better to disguise his own character (as the Marquis says) by playing the part of a zealous and outrageous patriot. Thus on the one hand, the faithful pensioner saves the Spanish provinces from the alleged hostility of Burr, and obtains fresh favor with his master. On the other, the patriotic general rescues his own country from the impending danger of a plot, suggested by himself and organized conjointly with col. Burr. History cannot furnish an example of a double game better played, nor of a country more deluded, deceived and debased than the U. States have been by this Arch-juggler. But to trace the subject in its natural progress: as Spain and her colonies are now transferred to the Mighty Napoleon, it may be asked, who becomes the paymaster of Spanish pensioners under the new order of things, and who will account to Wilkinson for his arrearages or accruing stipend?
Is not the emperor of France the lawful proprietor of the Floridas and Texas, which lay contiguous to Louisiana, the recent and probably the future theatre of the general's fame? But to proceed—the General, who prefers holding his Spanish conferences in the dark, paid a visit to the marquis de Casa Yrujo, at his house in this city, on the night prior to his departure for Washington.
He came to Philadelphia ostensibly to procure evidence for his trial, and chose the convenient hour of midnight silence (as in the case of his visit to Thomas Power, at Richmond) to commune with the Spanish minister. In this interview with the Marquis (then about to embark for France) we
cannot assert that he received the salary due him from Spain, but it has been distinctly stated, that his pension will be augmented, provided he remain in a situation which enables him to render the requisite service—to give the quid pro quo .
Here America is a wide field for reflection—meditate on your awful situation—behold a pensioner late of Spain, (now of France) a colleague of Aaron Burr, and designated in a private official communication to the Spanish Court—behold him as head of your army—commander in chief of those forces, which perhaps are long to be called to protect Louisiana from foreign invasion, will he not naturally serve his master most faithfully, who is most likely to pay best. Whether the pay an American army is equivalent to a Spanish or French pension is a point which the General alone can determine.
Perhaps they may both be preserved together, and fresh achievements on the Sabine, or in the Floridas, serve again to earn the fame of this fortunate hero.
Are these calculations and inferences American or improbable? People of America reflect and decide for yourselves.
CURTIS.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, August 10.
Capt. Olcott, of the ship Independence, 19 days from Guadalupe, informs, that a small schooner had just arrived at that place from the Spanish Main, with information that all French vessels in the different ports of the Main were embargoed—and all French property confiscated.
Latest from Europe.
By the ship Alligator, capt. Jenkins, from Liverpool, the editors of the N. York Gazette have received London papers to the 19th of June. The following articles are extracted from them. The papers from London, being no later than admiral Collingwood's communication from Cadiz, nothing new can be expected from them.
LONDON, June 19.
Last evening, at 7 o'clock, a messenger, accompanied by a Spaniard, one of the attendants of the Spanish noblemen who lately arrived in London, left town in a post chaise for Falmouth; they were the bearers of dispatches to Corunna. The greatest exertions possible are making at the Tower for the finishing of muskets. The work night and day.
The Channel fleet has sailed from Torbay, to resume its station off the French coast.
The inactivity of the English expedition in Gottenburgh roads, is thus accounted for in the ministerial circles: it is said that it was originally intended to co-operate with the Swedish army in the invasion of Norway, but that, immediately upon its arrival in the Categat, a deputation was sent, comprising several of the principal nobility of Norway, proposing to withdraw from their connection with Denmark; to declare themselves neutral; to open all their ports to the British ships, and to place the commercial intercourse between the two countries upon the same footing as it was previous to the war, provided that Britain would not employ her forces against them. They proposed further, to make peace with Sweden, and to afford her such supplies of grain, &c. as their means might admit, or her wants require, declaring, at the same time, their determination to perish, rather than submit to the domination of Sweden. Admirals Keats and sir J. Moore, it is added, justly estimating the importance of this very unexpected proposal on the part of Norway, and not considering themselves authorised to act in this new situation of affairs, dispatched col. Murray to this country for fresh instructions.
In the opposition circles this account is suspected to be a story fabricated to divert the public attention from the real fact. It is said that the armament was sent to the Baltic without any previous arrangement made for the maintenance of the troops, and in a confident expectation that the Swedes would have made a considerable progress on the land side in the reduction of Norway. That expectation, however, having been disappointed, it is said that his Swedish majesty proposed to employ our troops in Finland, but that the British commanders supposing that such application of the force was not in the contemplation of our government, sent home for instructions; and orders have been sent out for the return of the fleet and army.
We have received some numbers of the Paris Moniteur to the 1st, and Dutch Papers to the 4th inst. Bonaparte remained

at St. Jean de Luz, on the 24th. The latest accounts from Madrid are dated the 15th. They contain a pompous report of the presentation of the constituted authorities of Spain to Murat, as also of the Russian, French, Austrian, Dutch, Saxon, and American ministers. This ceremony was continued from day to day from the 9th to the 15th inclusive. The Moniteur also contains a detailed account of the journey of the King and Queen of Spain to Fontainebleau, and of their reception in the several towns through which they passed. Great pains are taken in the Moniteur to assure its readers that Spain is in a state of perfect tranquillity; but this statement is not very consistent with other accounts, which represent the French troops pouring into Spain from Italy. King Louis has been obliged to relax the severity of his anti-commercial decrees, in the same manner as the English Minister has found it necessary to relax the severity of our Orders in Council. To alleviate the distress of the people of Holland, an Ordinance has been issued, allowing the exportation of certain articles, the produce of that country. Private letters from Rotterdam, of the 8th inst. confirm this intelligence. We have also received some Altona and Hamburg papers, in which, as also in the Dutch Journals, are several paragraphs, in which the idea of an expedition to India is adverted to. Spain, however, is likely to afford French enterprise sufficient employment for the present.
The following proclamation is said to have been written by the prince of Asturias since he fell into the hands of Bonaparte, and has been since published in this country:
"NOBLE ASTURIANS, "I AM surrounded on all sides—I am the victim of perfidy. You once saved Spain under worse circumstances. I am now a prisoner, and do not ask of you the crown of Spain, but that you will arrange and organize a plan with the provinces which are immediately near you, by which you may vindicate your liberty, and not admit a foreign yoke. You must subdue the perfidious enemy, who despoils of his rights your unfortunate prince.
"FERNANDO." "BAYONNE, May 8, 1808." No one gives the prince credit for the spirit expressed in this article. It is probably a device of his enemies, and the agents of Bonaparte, to justify the fate that awaits him.
Considerable surprize has been expressed at the bill before the house of commons, to REGULATE THE TRADE WITH AMERICA, some persons supposing that it is for the creation of a sinecure place.
Major-general Moore, to take the command at Newfoundland, is going out in the convoy which is under orders to sail with the Speedy, from Portsmouth.
June 14. The two noblemen who have been deputed from the province of Asturias have laid before ministers some interesting documents relative to the affairs of Spain. It appears by these, that on the 19th ultimo Murat issued a proclamation from Madrid, in which, as president of the Junta, he directed that all the different provinces of Spain should send deputations to Bayonne, to consist of certain grandees, named in the proclamation archbishops, bishops, and others, who possess influence in the country. These were directed to assemble there on the 15th of June, to receive from the hands of the emperor Napoleon, a new constitutional code, by which the future government of Spain was to be regulated. It was the publication of this document at Oviedo, that determined the patriots of Asturias to resist the tyranny of the invaders, and declare war against France. By a proclamation issued on the 26th May, all Frenchmen were ordered to be taken into custody, and all French property seized, together with the ships found in the ports of those provinces in which the patriotic standard had been raised. A letter was at the same time sent to admiral Valdes, commander of the Spanish fleet of Minorca, informing him of the events that had taken place.
The frequency of couriers of late between the courts of Vienna and Paris is thus accounted for in some of the last letters which have been received from Holland. They state, that Bonaparte has demanded a passage for his troops through the Austrian states, for the purpose, as he proposes of attacking the Turkish empire. This application, it is said, after much negotiation, has been rejected by Austria, who has placed her army upon a most formidable footing, in expectation of a war with France. She is said to have at present no less than 200,000 men in the highest state of preparation, and the utmost possible activity is employed in encreasing this force. A general levy has been ordered in Hungary, from which
not even the nobles are exempted. If his usual good fortune should favor Bonaparte in his designs upon Spain, we have no doubt that he will soon after direct his attention to Austria, and she is in the right to prepare for what she will have to encounter.
In another part of our paper will be found the decree relating to the exportation of butter, cheese and geneva from Holland. No other articles are allowed to be exported; and the law referred to, of the 23d of January, 1808, prohibits the shipment, except under bond by the shipper, and two substantial persons in twice the value, that the goods shall not be landed in England, or any of its dependencies.
Yesterday a cabinet council was held at the foreign office, at which nearly the whole of the members assisted. The business was considered to be so urgent, that some of the members received their summons at so early an hour as 8 o'clock in the morning.
Viscount de Materosa, of whose character and mind we have heard the highest report, has been very graciously received by some of the ministers. His interviews with the foreign secretary have been frequent. The result of these interviews was sent off to his constituents late on Sunday night, by one of the persons (adomestic) who accompanied his lordship to this country. His lordship was accompanied by four persons, exclusive of his secretary.
It is said that general Dumourier has had several conferences with viscount Materosa, and the report was yesterday, that he had left town to proceed to Plymouth to embark for Spain.
A letter from Gottenburgh, received by the last mail, states, that gen. Blucher, the Prussian officer who acquired so much reputation by his conduct in the late Prussian war, is now with the Swedish army in Finland. We have not heard in what capacity he acts.
The Norwegian Regency have issued an order to prohibit the capture of Swedish fishing boats.
Some doubts are entertained as to the authenticity of the letter purporting to be from the Prince of Asturias to the inhabitants of the Province from which he derives his title. Upon the subject of these doubts we are not enabled to pronounce a decided opinion, but a letter in the Spanish language, which is said to be the original, together with several other letters written in the same spirit, and directed to the same object, have certainly been submitted to government. We are also assured, that the letter of the Prince of Asturias was shewn to several of the Nobility of Asturias who hesitated to join the confederacy until this invitation was presented to them, and they recognised the Princess's hand writing. The other letters and proclamations are from various individuals and public bodies of certain local influence, exhorting those among whom their influence is likely to operate, to rise in defence of their country. Publications of this nature are circulated throughout Spain, and they are said to have produced extraordinary effects upon the popular mind.

COMMUNICATION. IN most of the countries of Europe which have been made to bend to the yoke of Napoleon, the encroachments of power have been so gradually progressive that it was difficult to decide at what period of time to date the expiration of their liberties: to no country is this observation more applicable than to Spain: on the one hand the progress of tyranny was steady and unremitted, whilst on the other the tame subserviency of a weak monarch and a treacherous minister invited its mandates, until, to use the language of Mr. Randolph, "there was no Spain," "the Pyrenees were no more." Napoleon believing, from their tame submission, that it was no longer necessary to flatter the Spaniards with even the empty forms of their ancient government, has obtained, by treachery, the persons of the royal family, who are held prisoners in France, and has appointed Murat, one of his cut-throat brethren, to the command of the kingdom.—At this the spirit of that once gallant people appears suddenly to be aroused, the dving embers of liberty are enkindled to a flame, and a noble enthusiasm animates the whole Spanish nation—That they may be successful in their arduous struggle and establish the independence of their country must be the ardent wish of every friend to the liberty and happiness of mankind—That such are the wishes and such the sentiments of the American people I have no doubt, but that such are the wishes of Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison I
think may very well be questioned. If we look into the papers published under their patronage we find no sympathy expressed for the sufferings of afflicted Spain, no indignant anathemas against the oppressor; but, on the contrary, the Washington Monitor affects to think the Spaniards happy under the fostering care of the great Napoleon, and that "the chastening correction of war, and the ameliorating policy of Bonaparte are required to improve their condition."
Mr. Smith, in the National Intelligencer of the 10th inst. has made a little display of "the arts of an able editor," which I think worthy of remark—In the publication of the official documents on the subject of the Spanish revolution, the one which appears generally to have excited most interest has been cut in two by him & the first half thrown aside as unfit for the public eye. This might be considered as a little extraordinary, but when we reflect that the first part of the proclamation of the marquis de Somerulos details, with great feeling of indignation, the various acts of tyranny and treachery which Bonaparte has practised towards Spain, and more especially when we consider the exalted terms of approbation and admiration with which he speaks of the English nation, we must excuse Mr. Smith for the omission of such matter, so unfit for the columns of the National Intelligencer. He has ushered forth the fragment of this mutilated paper with the following introduction: "The proclamation at some length details the events of the Spanish revolution, of which we were already sufficiently apprized, and concludes as follows," &c. Oh shame where is thy blush!
And yet, notwithstanding such is the invariable tenor of the government papers, we are told by some that those who pay them feel no undue partiality towards France.

COMMUNICATION. On Monday last a trial of a new invented gun carriage for artillery of every size and description, was exhibited at the navy yard in the city of Washington, and we are happy to say that the good opinion formed by judges, on sight of the model, was fully justified, to the great satisfaction of all the spectators, among whom were several of the most experienced officers in the service of the U. States. This carriage is admired for its simplicity; for the great savings in point of expence and of safety, and for the facility in practice, for which it is remarkable. Indeed it is the only one we have ever seen, that can make the barbett or complete covering battery as formidable to the enemy as those with exposing embrasures. The inventor is Mr. James Hoban, of this city.—National Intelligencer.
THE BARBER OF SEVILLE. A comely young lad liv'd, a few years ago, In a street in the city of Seville, Who took by the nostrils full many a beau, And soon brought their chins to a level. But alas! Tho' he lather'd each don who ap- pear'd So quick, that he gain'd mighty favor, A donzello, one morn, as he took off a beard, As she pass'd, took the heart of this shaver. The hidalgos he left in his shop all alone, And follow'd the maid to an arbour; Tho' he fear'd that he never should call her his hone, For she barber-ous seem'd to the barber.
By his whiskers he swore his life hung on a hair, That nought from his breast could e-razor; That his plight was so bad, he was quite in despair, And, in short, he contriv'd—to amaze her.
Says he, "I'm not poor, I've one penny to shave, And I've two pence to bleed for the vapors: To draw out a tooth it is three pence I crave, And charge nothing for reading the pa- pers."
And a kiss he adventur'd as thus he did speak, But was check'd by a terrible bristle— "Tho' a flower call'd a rose" says he "blooms on your cheek, On your chin blooms a weed call'd a thistle.
So no longer object—all objections I'll stop, If you wed me, consider the saving, For each morning before that I open my shop, I'll give you for nothing a shaving."
His reasons convinc'd her, and gain'd her consent, Refusal, so well had he parried— And when she was shav'd to a convent they went, And when they got there, they were mar- ried. But the honey-moon o'er, and his love on the slope, She perceiv'd how he'd plann'd to entrap her;
For each morning he now forgot razor & soap, And only remember'd to scrap her,
And thus he consol'd her—"Your fate you must bear, Since nature so boñtiful gave it, Had she sent you a beard she'd not meant you to wear, She'd have sent you a razor to shave it."

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME, AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANU- FACTURES:
Tending to shew that by a due encourage- ment of these essential interests, the na- tion will be rendered more respec- table abroad and more prosper- ous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Ar- lington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Co- lumbia.
AT a time when the energies of the na- tion seem awakened to the state of our for- eign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a consi- derable share of the public discussion. Cer- tain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign af- fairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their sup- port. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our pro- vince to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and con- fidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.
EDITOR. Printers in the U. States will please to give this advertisement an insertion in their respective papers, and such as demand it will be paid at this office. Booksellers supplied on liberal terms, and all orders will be punctually attended to.

New constructed Bed Cords. THE subscriber has for sale, at his Rope Store next door to the Indian Queen tavern, a few new constructed BED CORDS , which are rendered superior to any other kind by their infallibility in destroying and preventing those insects called Chinches , which harbor in the holes of the bedstead—they are also supe- rior to any other kind, from their long wear.
