The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove, that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States.

There are at present twenty four yearly boarders of the first respectability, in the hotel.

THE STORM.
How gloomy the evening! how dark is the sky? With storm bearing clouds overcast; The rain in a torrent pours down from on high, And the wind whistles shrill o'er the mast.
Thus while o'er the Ocean unfriended I roam, Cold and wet by the waters that pour, I sit to observe the wave break into foam, Or to hear the wild winds as they roar.
Time was when thus lone and uncheery to be Would have made me inconstant repine; And the wish for a calm would have call'd forth a sigh, From this unresting bosom of mine.
Time was—but it was ere the impulse of love, Bade my heart's hot blood quicker to roll; And the charms of MARIA had taught me to prove Sweet delirium shed over the soul.
As the wretch whom hard Nature has stinted of sight, Sits forever in darkness forlorn, Nor e'er hail'd the day spring with rising light, Nor the mellow moon's waning horn—
So dark and so lonely my bosom remain'd, To the soft throb of passion unknown, Nor knew what delight was from love to be gain'd, Nor cared to think there were none.
But since first, lovely Maiden! thy beauty I knew, My warm fancy floats on thy form; Mid the deep gloom of night, it still draws on my view, And steals me away from the storm.
Still then o'er my bosom thy empire maintain, And chase every low passion away, For my soul shall not feel disappointment or pain, While cheer'd by thy delicate sway—
But while in gay dreams I forget that I rove, And thy voice in my ears seem to sound, I awake—but ah, 'tis not the sweet tones of love! 'Tis the hollow wave dashing around
And tho' to the soul the remembrance be dear Of the hours that shin'd upon me; Yet ah! my dear love, I still drop the salt tear When I think that I wander from thee.
From the New York Evening Post.
THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
No. XI.
"Proofs of the corruption of gen. James Wilkinson and of his connection with Aaron Burr," &c.
It is said, first—That my continuing on terms of intimacy with general Wilkinson, long after the period at which I pretend his guilt was known to me, is an evidence that I had no such knowledge. This argument, however, if it proves any thing, proves the homage which the general undesignedly pays to my character. It shews that he thinks it such as to make my associating with a man I knew to be guilty so improbable, as to outweigh the other strong positive testimony (I do not now speak of my own) against him. If my character were not unblemished, where is the improbability of my continuing on good terms with him after I knew of his corruption? He appeals, therefore, for his justification, to the purity of that character, which he tacitly acknowledges was unsullied, but which he now says has suddenly been forfeited, by a malicious attempt to injure his. Nemo repente fuit turpissimus , is an adage established by long experience; and I should present a singular exception to the truth, if, after passing through poverty and riches, and all the vicissitudes of life, with a reputation, to the excellence of which my most deadly enemy bears his reluctant testimony, I should at once have plunged into the depth of crime, where he would wish to persuade the world I am sunk.
That my countrymen may fully appreciate both the charge and defence on this head, it will be necessary to state, that although I always had the sincerest attachment to the United States, and frequently pursued their interest to the utter disregard of my own, I could never claim the privileges of a citizen until the year 1798, when the establishment of the American government in the Mississippi territory below Natches, and an oath of allegiance I then took, gave me a title I had endeavored by previous services to merit, and which no subsequent conduct has tended to disgrace. Previous to this period, though I had an intimate knowledge of general Wilkinson's treasonable designs, I was under no particular obligation to reveal them. I resided in a Spanish territory, and, though not a subject of Spain, I was employed and trusted by the Spanish government, and I might have been excusable, if, under these circumstances, I should have regarded Wilkinson's project rather in the light of a revolution, favorable to the government under whose protection I lived, than as a rebellion against his own. Becoming an American citizen, however, I thought it my duty to discover whether this disgraceful connexion continued, and I then had the conversation with general Wilkinson at Loftus's Heights, which is detailed in my affidavit. The result of this was, as I have stated, an acknowledgement of the guilt which he knew I was before acquainted with; but an assurance that the disgraceful connexion should be broken off: an assurance to which I gave credit, and for several years from that period considered him as totally disengaged from the treasonable engagements into which he had entered. Perhaps it was wrong to yield this ready credence to the professions of a man, whose conduct ought to have convinced me that he wanted principle; but when the general's insinuating manners and my comparative youth are considered, it will not, I believe, be imputed to me as a crime sufficient to destroy my credit, that I should continue with him on terms of civility, for really all the letters which he has adduced amount to no more. At any rate, I feel it as a fault, and I am sure it has been one of the greatest misfortunes of my life, ever to have been numbered among his friends, or even acquaintances; but if society in error or misfortune could console me, I should find comfort in the number and rank of those, who will soon have as much reason as I have had to regret the countenance and support they have afforded him.
It is next said, that my evidence has been contradicted by other testimony. I have anticipated the answer to one point, which I understand has been much relied on by the general and his friends, viz: the encampment, and my stay at Loftus's Heights.
My conversation relative to the ten thousand dollars laid out for sugar at New-Orleans is also adduced as conclusive proof, that my deposition was not founded in fact. But how futile is this objection? Because I told Mr. Smith and Mr. Alston that I was then convinced gen. Wilkinson had not received this particular sum of money in the year 1804, is it conclusive evidence that I am not to be believed, when I say on oath that he had received other sums in 1796? Let it be remembered, that I had not charged gen. Wilkinson with the corrupt receipt of this 10,000 dollars; and even now, tho' I firmly believe the fact, yet I have, as I before I stated, no legal evidence on which to ground the charge. The truth is, that in the spring or summer of 1804, after gen. Wilkinson's departure from New-Orleans, on my return from a visit to the country, I was informed by Dr. Watkins, who was then in the confidence of gov. Claiborne, that gen. Wilkinson had purchased a cargo of sugar for $10,000; that it was suspected this money had been received from the Spaniards; and that gov. Claiborne was desirous of investigating the business, that he might communicate it to the government of the U. States. Relying on Wilkinson's assurance to me that the Spanish connexion was dropped, and supposing that I should have heard something of it from the officers of that nation then in New-Orleans (if the fact had existed) I expressed my disbelief of the report. But Dr. Watkins having resumed the subject to me, I offered to investigate it, on condition, that if the report were found to be groundless, I should be at liberty to communicate the information to gen. Wilkinson. I then went to the Intendant's, where I made inquiries, the result of which convinced me that no such sum had been paid. I reported this to Dr. Watkins and to Mr. Evan Jones, requesting Mr. Jones to communicate the circumstance to gen. Wilkinson.
At Washington, in the winter of 1806-7 some conversation took place between Mr. Alston and myself on this subject, occasioned by a letter which had been received
from col. Claiborne, of the Mississippi territory, removing the suspicions on this subject. I then freely expressed my opinion that the report was unfounded. Mr. Alston, however, having mentioned that he understood that this money had been received for tobacco, and that this way of accounting for it had come from gen. Smith, my suspicions were again excited, for I knew that all the tobacco accounts had been long before settled. I therefore called on gen. Smith, to know whether the receipt of the money was admitted by Wilkinson. He having denied any knowledge of the business, I concluded the report mentioned by Mr. Alston to be groundless, and repeated to gen. Smith what I have above stated respecting my enquiries at the Spanish treasury, and authorised him to mention it. This he construed into an assurance that Wilkinson had at no time received money from the Spaniards, and published something to that effect.
In May, 1807, I learned from a person in whom I placed implicit credit, that the Marquis de Cassa Calvo had informed him that 12,000, not 10,000 dollars, had been paid by him (the Marquis) to General Wilkinson at New-Orleans, in the year 1804, while W. was commissioner for receiving the transfer of the province.
Being at Baltimore, on my way to Philadelphia, in October, 1807, Gen. Smith met me at the coffee house, and requested that I would give him a certificate of the conversation between us. I then particularly explained the error into which he had fallen, and refused the certificate. Hearing afterwards that the business had been represented in a manner I did not think correct, I called on General Smith in company with Mr. White, of the senate, to whose statement, (No. 53)* I refer, for the elucidation of this branch of the enquiry.
As the proceedings before the court of enquiry have never been fully published, I know not whether any other attempts were made to disprove any part of my testimony. These only have come to my knowledge. I hope they are properly repelled; and I shall meet, in like manner, any future disclosure of this nature that may be made.
My account of this transaction is moreover fully confirmed, by the examinations of Mr. Harper and Mr. D. W. Coxe; the first taken at the request of the judge advocate, the other by the desire of Gen. Wilkinson himself—both shew the most perfect consistency in my declarations on this subject. Both these gentlemen being on terms of intimacy with me, and the latter my partner and most confidential friend, they were the most proper persons to resort to for testimony of my most unguarded conversation. It is now before the public, (Nos. 54 and 55) and shews that my solemn official declaration is in perfect conformity to those made in the confidence of friendship. I call the attention of the reader particularly to the evidence of Mr. Coxe, as shewing the progress of my opinion with respect to Wilkinson, and the nature of that intimacy with which I have been reproached. At any rate, if I could have been so lost to truth as to assert the general innocence of Wilkinson, though it might weaken my evidence, it would not have destroyed the force of that proof which I now produce.
(To be continued.)

THE GRAND EXPEDITION.
Yesterday afternoon the following telegraphic notice from Deal was transmitted by lord Mulgrave:
"TO THE LORD MAYOR.
"ADMIRALTY OFFICE, 4 o'clock, P. M.
"Flushing closely invested!
"Rest of the island taken!
"With Lord Mulgrave's compliments to the Lord Mayor."
This morning intelligence was transmitted from lord Castlereagh in the following note.
"TO THE LORD MAYOR:
"(COPY.)
"Downing-street, August 6.
"MY LORD,
"I have the honor to acquaint your lordship, that dispatches have been received from the Earl of Chatham, dated the 2d and 3d instant, from Middleburg, by which it appears the island of Walcheren has been occupied by his majesty's troops, & Flushing invested after some resistance, in which a considerable number of prisoners were taken from the enemy.
"The island of South Beveland has also been taken possession of by the division under the orders of Sir John Hope.
"(Signed) "CASTLEREAGH."
"To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."
We subjoin some particulars not detailed in the above bulletins.
The divisions of the Marquis of Huntley, Lord Rosslyn, and general Grosvenor, had not landed, the whole of these five brigades being intended for ulterior & most important operations.
Such is the substance of the dispatches received yesterday by government.
The following letters reached us this morning.
DEAL, August 6.
"Arrived, the Ida (I) hired cutter, and a revenue cutter, from the fleet of the Scheldt, whose officers landed this morning at Margate with dispatches, the crews of which report that our troops were all safely landed on Sunday last, and had got possession of the island of Walcheren, except the town of Flushing, which our ships began to bombard at twelve yesterday noon, and when these vessels left at seven o'clock, in the evening, it had not surrendered, but was thought could not hold out long. The transports, ships of war, and small crafts, were left all well. A frigate had got on shore on the falling of the tide, but got off again on the tide flowing."
DOVER, Sunday, August 6.
"Six P. M.—We have just heard from Deal, that the Ida cutter arrived this afternoon in the Downs, from our fleet, and brings an account that Flushing was taken possession of by our troops last night."
On the arrival of the army in the Scheldt the wind and weather were such as to render it necessary, instead of sending the troops from the West Put, as was originally intended, to proceed to the Veer Cut, on the north east side of Walcheren. On Sunday morning the troops were put on board the boats appointed for their conveyance to the shore, and moved in excellent order to the Sands. Our brave troops speedily overcame every obstacle. Campvere, Ramakins, and Middleburg, the capital of the island, successively fell into our hands. They all surrendered by capitulation, after the enemy had made as much resistance as they could. About 1000 prisoners were taken;—and at the date of the dispatches, the whole of the island was in the possession of our troops, except Flushing, to which the remainder of the enemy retreated, and which was so closely invested, that it could not hold out long.
THE EXPEDITION.
This morning Mr. Wagstaff, the messenger, arrived in town with intelligence of the whole of the expedition having sailed from the Downs with a favorable wind.—Success attend it!—The following is a correct statement of the forces embarked:
   Embarked under the Earl of Chatham.     Cavalry, 2,600   Artillery, 3,600   Staff, 100   Waggon Train, 140   Guards, 2,878   Infantry of the Line, 30,000   Detachment of R. V. Batt. 30   Total, 38,748  
The amount of the 2d division under the command of the Marquis of Huntley, consists of six regiments—the 6th, 50th, 91st, 9th, 38th, and 42d—amounting to 4982.
It is presumed, that the embargo will be immediately withdrawn; and it will be a subject of serious regret if orders have not already been given at the western harbors to abrogate this restriction on the shipping. Five hundred vessels have been daily detained at an immense charge of demurrage, since this measure of precaution was adopted.

COMMUNICATION.
It is with pleasure we announce to the lovers of harmony, the friends of merit, and enlightened generous few, that some able and respectable ladies of our city have stepped forth in the cause of taste, and Mrs. Seymour whose failure at the night appointed for her Benefit, is a reproach to the friends of Alexandria in general. 'Tis with pleasure we are authorized to say, that this means to present the discerning public with a CONCERT in the course of this week, and that every assistance the combined talents of her brothers and sisters in the profession can afford, will be willingly exerted on behalf of this amiable woman, and deserving favorite of the public.
It appears by an article from the Paris Moniteur, that the British had begun their operations against Naples. This reluctant account proves that the first operations of the British had been successful, nor can it conceal the alarm which has been excited in the city and country. It is probable that this intelligence reached Napoleon's camp, about the time he signed the Armistice with Austria. We differ from many in regard to this Armistice, and cannot but think that in the end Austria will profit by it. No one can suppose that the Archduke Charles, was unacquainted with the intended expedition against Naples, or of the object and probable time of sailing of the English grand Expedition. By securing himself from further attacks, he did not allow the French emperor the means of sending succours to the aid of those points to be attacked by the two expeditions. The armistice would expire on the 11th August. If Bonaparte made considerable detachments from his grand army, the Archduke will not fail to profit thereby; if he does not send aid to those points, his enemy will be suffered to pursue his measures, without opposition.
[Norfolk Ledger]
New Orleans.—We do not like to predict mischief, but we feel strongly impressed with a belief that some is brewing in that quarter. Our readers may rely that the queries in our Monday's paper, do not rest on mere suspicion, or conjecture. It was not long since that a general order of the commander in chief was published, by which it appeared that the army was in a state of mutiny, and to day we publish the order of Governor Claiborne, disbanding certain volunteer corps. The sensations which this order have produced, are displayed in an address from one of the volunteers, to the governor.
[Ibid.]
FROM THE NEW ORLEANS GAZETTE.
To His Excellency Governor Claiborne.
I have often seen and often heard your excellency's character well drawn—Your want of understanding, your overweening propensity for popularity, your total disregard to truth, and your malevolence, have afforded matter for conversation for caricature, and for the public prints for years. It never was my intention to have addressed you had I not attacked a whole corps, of which I have the honor of being a member. Few of the corps read your paper, edited by a French subject; therefore I give your admirable general order publicity, through the medium of an American press.
GENERAL ORDERS.
New Orleans, August 6, 1809. The battalion of Orleans volunteers and the Orleans troop of horse are in such a state of disorganization, that they can no longer be considered a separate corps:—It is therefore ordered that the citizens heretofore attached to those corps be forthwith enrolled in the regular militia.
WILLIAM C. C. CLAIBORNE.
Can your excellency read this order without blushing? You once had men of sense around you whose wisdom kept you from committing such egregious acts of folly, but now, abandoned by every man of sense in society, you shine forth conspicuously ridiculous.
Conscious of having destroyed the pride and honor of the volunteer corps, by transferring them to the command of another, you were ashamed to order them to parade, for either muster or review. Two years and more have elapsed since they have been under arms, and now your excellency issues your order of dismissal, because the corps is in a state of disorganization. It is well known that this corps was raised at great individual expence, and the only part that your excellency ever contributed, was occasionally giving bad wine and ginger cake at 12 o'clock, to those who wished to attend your levee, and hear you give a few stupid toasts. You direct that the individuals composing the corps are to be incorporated in the regular militia. I deny that you ever had any thing like regular militia under your command, except the corps now dismissed. Your master, general Wilkinson, will bear honorable testimony to the truth of this assertion. You ought to have said common militia, which is composed of colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants and ensigns, but not one single private. When and where has your excellency seen a regiment, battalion or company, of your regular militia paraded?
No, Sir, you have no militia; a militia drum has not been heard in our streets since the battalion of volunteers, and troops of dragoons were discharged from the service of the United States in the Spring of 1807.
What a blessing would the sage of Monticello have conferred on this territory, had he taken you with him; but, alas, he has left you "a representative of his imbecile administration." A VOLUNTEER.
By the ship Louisa Cecelia, whose arrival was noticed yesterday, we learn that the ship Thomas Wilson, Gardiner, of Baltimore, touched at Rio Janeiro, and sailed from thence on the 28th July for the river of Plate. The brig George, Clarke, of New Bedford, sailed from Janeiro for do. about the 1st of July, with her outward cargo on board. The ship Roxana, Skillings, from Boston, left there about the middle of May for a market. An American ship was going into Rio Janeiro on the 31st of July, supposed to be eastern built. Sir Sidney Smith, in the frigate Diana, sailed for England about the 10th of July. The Agamenon, of 74 guns, was lost in the Rio de la Plata about the first of July; crew, guns, &c. saved. Admiral Decourey, with three 74's, had recently returned to Rio Janeiro from the River of Plate.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25.
Spanish Victory.—The news under the New York head, contained in a letter from Don Thomas Vasquez, at Porto Rico, to the Spanish consul at New York, was in type before the brig Betsey arrived this morning from St. Thomas. Captain Moxon, of the Betsey has politely favored the editor of the Federal Gazette with St. Croix and St. Thomas papers to the 1st September; from which we copy the following. It appears that the French army was 40,000 strong, and that they were entirely routed.
ST. THOMAS. August 31.
Translation of the interesting accounts bro't here by a felucha on Tuesday last from Porto Rico.
Translation of a Despatch.
General Cuesta says, from the camp of Talavera, on the 28th of July, that being informed that the enemy, in number forty thousand men, were preparing themselves to attack him, he passed the Alberche and took a convenient position with the English general. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th, the enemy charged them with the greatest fury with the boynet; they were with equal fury repulsed from the battle ceased at 8 o'clock in the evening with the greatest loss. The 28th, at day break, the enemy repeated their attack till 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when they were again routed; and the general hopes that they will be successively beaten. The English and Spanish armies behaved themselves with a bravery worthy of their nations. The intruded king (Joseph Bonaparte) assisted in person, and he retired that afternoon to Santa Olalla, accompanied with ninety-eight waggons loaded with wounded. The division of Lacy is at Toledo, and yesterday they were expecting the army of Venegas in Aranjuez, in order to pass to Madrid.
P. S. We have just now received the news by express, that the enemy were completely routed.
OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION.
His excellency Martin Garay, secretary of the governing Supreme Council, published on the 31st July, to the consulate of this place, that the Supreme Junta had received the important news, that the Anglo Spanish army had COMPLETELY ROUTED the French army on the borders of Alberche after a bloody battle of two days, in which all the troops behaved themselves so as to merit the national gratitude. His excellency does not wish to detain from this city the intelligence of an occurrence so famous for the liberty of their country, and as glorious for our arms.
