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.

We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.

From the Washington Federalist.
THE EASTERN STATES. —It has been hinted from high authority, that there are letters in the city which inform that the eastern states are nearly ripe for a separation from the southern. It is represented that a convention is already organized, which only waits to know if the embargo is to be raised at the meeting of congress. If it is not raised, it is said, the convention will meet, declare the northern and eastern states independent, and proceed to form a separate government. We know the above statement to be false as respects the convention; but that a separation has been suggested in the northern states, is too true. The northern and eastern states must have the privilege of navigation, or perish. The destruction of commerce would as effectually depopulate the New England states, as the destruction of agriculture would the southern section of the union. How would the middle and southern people relish an embargo on the plough? They would not bear it, no not even from Mr. Jefferson. It cannot then be expected that such men as those who raised the standard of opposition to Britain in '74 will tamely submit to starve, to gratify such a man as Mr. Jefferson in 1808.—The New England people know their own strength and consequence—they are a people who wish for peace, and court it, more than any people on earth; but when they are once roused, they are irresistible; the world combined could not conquer them—and if they once declare themselves a separate nation, the union will be broken, never to be repaired.
FROM THE SAME.
THE EMBARGO. —Our correspondents in the northern parts of the union are urging us to inform them whether or not the embargo will be raised at the meeting of congress. We candidly confess that, though we are at head quarters, we are not enough in the secrets of the great marquee, or as the red men of New York and Baltimore would say, the great wigwam, to determine the point. We, however, have an opinion, and that is, that the embargo will be raised.—Not that we think the administration have any desire to raise it, but because the people of the U. States will bear it no longer. The administration are not quite so infatuated as not to know that the idea of the embargo being raised at the meeting of congress is the only thing which has kept their friends in countenance in any of the states. Not a single election has taken place but the democrats have propagated stories of raising the embargo. In some places expressions have arrived with news that the embargo was actually raised; and in others it has been asserted from the best authority that it would soon be raised. These things shew that the minions of the administration are aware of the discontent of the people, on account of the embargo, and that they are satisfied, however popular they may represent the measure, that were the people sure it would lie ten months longer, there would not a single vote be obtained, especially in the northern states, for our present rulers.
Again, what reason can now be assigned for continuing the embargo, unless we take Mr. Jefferson's plan and make it permanent? It has had a fair trial, and none of the advantages contemplated at laying it, have been experienced, or are ever like to be derived from it. It was said at first to be laid to bring home our shipping—it has not done this, for Bonaparte will not let them come. It was then to coerce Great Britain—but it has failed, for Britain laughs at it, and will in a few years be willing to pay us a subsidy for continuing it. Shall it then be continued when it has no good effect and is the source of many evils? Reason and common sense would say, certainly not.
We would not, however, have our friends be too confident of getting rid of this most distressing and most foolish of all restrictive measures. Reason and common sense do not always govern politicians; and we have not a doubt but that an effort will be made by the executive to continue the embargo. He has committed himself by laying it, and to take it off at this time will be acknowledging that it was a weak and useless measure at least; this he will not do—he will rather see the U. States in the en-
slaved situation of France, than candidly confess he has been wrong, and his opponents the federalists have been right. But at this period we doubt his power to continue his measure. Congress at the approaching session will have different feelings from what they had at the last. They will deliberate before they act. The spirit of enquiry has gone abroad; and the state of our relations both with France and England will be fully known to the legislature before they proceed to enact any more laws on the recommendation of the president. A majority will see by this time the evil consequences of legislating blindfolded, and we have great reason to hope that the proceedings of the coming session will be more honorable to men of sense, and independent feelings, than were those of the last.
FROM THE SAME.
SINCE the arrival of the Hope, the official paper has declared that the offers which our administration have made to foreign powers are so just and reasonable, that every true American will rally round the government.
We have always expressed our doubts whether such an offer as was represented in the administration papers had ever been made, and we now declare our disbelief of the story altogether! It is incredible that such terms were offered & refused by England; for they absolutely grant all that nation ever required from us—and something more. It will be seen, if ever the whole of those negotiations are laid before congress, and submitted to the public, that the offer, as stated in the National Intelligencer, has never been made; or if made, that it has been accompanied with conditions which involved the surrender on the part of England, of rights which she is known to have considered essential to her safety. Whoever will mark the end of this business will be convinced how little faith is due to the official paper of the administration.
It may be asked, why should the administration wish to originate a deception, which will be so soon detected? The Virginia election takes place next week, and will be over before the truth can come to light; meantime, the story as told by the Intelligencer may have an effect on the election favorable to Mr. Madison.
The real friends of their country in Virginia should reflect, that according to their own acknowledgments the present administration cannot make terms with either France or England. That under their guidance we must have war with either France or England or both—or an eternal embargo.—If there were no other reasons for desiring a change of rulers, those surely are sufficient to engage the most active exertions of every real patriot, to produce a change. If the Monroe ticket succeeds in Virginia, he will be President by a large majority. The federalists can have no party views in wishing his election; they merely desire a change of rulers, that the country may have a chance of being saved.
FROM THE SAME.
It is rather degrading to have to go to foreign countries for information on our own affairs; but so silent are our knowing ones that we are oftentimes obliged to do it, or remain ignorant of our most interesting concerns. The National Intelligencer has told us our government has made an offer to the British Cabinet to raise the embargo as it respects Great Britain, on their rescinding their orders in council as respects us. To this we are told the British will not agree. A London article tells quite a different story: It is there stated, "that the American government have expressed their opinion that the embargo will not be removed, or even relaxed, until the orders in council are rescinded; nay more, until the American flag shall be guaranteed from the molestation of our vessels upon any pretence whatever." We could wish to believe our own papers, especially those which are considered as official; but we are at this time, judging from all circumstances, obliged to declare we believe the statement in the London paper will be found the most correct. This statement gives the very ground on which Mr. Jefferson took his stand long ago:—he refused to lay Mr. Monroe's treaty before the senate on this very principle, as appears from his own words in his letter to that gentleman, published this day. Mr. Jefferson seems to be determined to make no terms with the British, until they relinquish what they term the right of search—this Britain will never give up while they have a ship able to swim, or a seaman able to splice a rope; of course no accommodation can be made with England while Mr. Jefferson or his party have the management of our affairs.
From the N. YORK GAZETTE.
The following plain but sensible remarks on the state of the British W. India Islands, were handed to us yesterday by an American, who arrived here in the schooner Eliza, last from St. Kitts. He told us that he had penned them on his passage, but requested us not to mention his name—but the information he has communicated is of such high importance to the future interests of this country, that he will, we trust, excuse us for giving his name to those who may ask for it, as, by this means, we shall not be accused of fabrications, and, besides, such important information from an authentic source, from actual observation, will no doubt, have some effects upon the deliberations of Congress—they are facts worthy of their attention.
Observations on the Embargo.
Having lately been in several of the W. India Islands, and consequently in a situation to observe the noble and great effects our embargo has had on the colonies, I now offer some few of them for the perusal of the public. Having in the course of the month of September, visited the islands of Nevis, St. Kitts, St. Bartholemews and St. Martins, and my business being of such a nature that I have often been conversant with several of the planters as well as men of mercantile business in each of said islands, I am enabled to form a pretty just idea of the distresses and embarrassments that the different islands have been placed in by this time by our embargo, and of their future prospects of living without the least assistance from America. In the first place, they acknowledge that the embargo had been severely felt, but that severity was most felt for three or four months after the embargo was laid—by its being so unexpected, and consequently had to curtail their allowances, but it took place at the proper time of the year for planting their grounds; and to remedy the evil they planted on an average of the estate, about twenty acres of ground with yams and potatoes and sweet pumpkins for food for the negroes, and the potatoes, and pumpkins are now ripe and almost gone the crop of yams will be ripe the first of November, and with what the negroes raise on their own ground, have given them great plenty, and have enabled them (the negroes) to sell at market in the different towns sufficient for the supply of the inhabitants, and yams being a good substitute for bread, the inhabitants have so accustomed themselves to the use of them that they consume very little bread—so little that the sales of flour are not so much by two thirds what it was previous to the embargo. Although the amount of flour in the island of St. Kitts at the time I sailed, was, as stated in their monthly report, said to be 2500 barrels, and spoiling in the stores. Their supplies from Europe have been great. In the month of Sept. there were four large ships arrived from different ports in Europe, and with different kinds of provisions for the island; there were also three brigs and two schrs. arrived from Halifax, one of which touched at Barbadoes and Dominico for a market, but found none; stop at St. Kitts and from thence proceeded to St. Croix, and St. Thomas.
All South America as well as the Spanish Islands have now a free trade with the English, and the Spaniards are flocking in to the windward islands, with cattle, mules, sheep, goats and poultry in great abundance—so much that they are enabled to supply the English troops and navy with their usual quantities of fresh provisions. I will also add there are letters from Liverpool and London to their correspondents in St. Kitts, stating that their fishing last season has been great, that India rice has arrived in abundance, and that they can supply the colonies with almost every article they may want; that their African ships are all out of employ, and would fit out for Nova Scotia for the purpose of supplying the colonies with lumber and other articles that might be wanted; but have been afraid that the Americans will take off the embargo.—Knowing that they can furnish those articles necessary for the colonies at a cheaper rate than they can do, and if they should attempt the prosecution of such voyages, by the time they could arrive at the islands the embargo would be off, and the islands filled with American produce, and they must make losing voyages; and further, that they are about to petition parliament to lay an embargo on Americans for six months, after that she has taken off the one she has laid—that they can then prosecute their intended voyages with assurance of a market. I also have learnt that the windward islands are universally supplied with six months provisions. The planters also say the embargo has had a good tendency in some respects, for it has learnt them by experiments which they never should have tried, that they can
feed their negroes at a much cheaper rate than to buy our corn and meal at an enormous price of from thirty to fifty pounds currency per hogshead, for by planting ten or fifteen acres of ground for provisions, it neats them double in cane what they would do after being made into sugars, and sold to buy their provisions.
They have also sent negroes into the mountains (which abound with large wood) for the purpose of getting staves for sugar hds. and I heard a planter say, that he had not used five thousand staves for the whole of last crop exclusive of what his negroes made in the mountains—So that we must see that our great and glorious embargo has had all the ill effects that it could impose on our inveterate enemy the English, and we must further see that if continued the greatest evils is yet to be incurred on ourselves. If it should be taken off to morrow and we to suffer for only what it has already occasioned, the embarrassments as to our future trade are too numerous to be detailed. The Spaniards will furnish them with almost all the articles with which they have been heretofore furnished from America—and the longer we keep the embargo on, the greater encouragement is held out to the Spaniard; and it is certain that Portuguese and Spanish America can produce every article that is raised in the United States.—The British settlements in North America are abundantly able to supply their colonies with every kind of lumber as well as salted fish and several other necessaries. To remedy the evils which also our non-importation has had on the English, they have South America and the Spanish islands to become their purchasers instead of the U. States. There is a free trade also open between the French and English islands for all English manufactures, and the produce of the French islands or cash in payment.
ST. VINCENT, August 20.
The petty navy of France have lately had extraordinary success in the colonies. About a fortnight ago, Martinico was literally in a state of famine, now, it enjoys all the abundance of uninterrupted commerce, not only by the supplies imported in their own vessels, but from the spoil and havoc made by the capture of ours. On the 16th inst. the Palastre and Platre, of 16 guns each, 23 days from Bayonne, with flour, arrived at the blockaded port of Martinico, as did on the 10th an English brig from New Brunswick, taken by the Be Cune privateer, and the ship Eliza from Quebec, taken by the Poleneux brig, both with valuable cargoes of provisions and lumber: during these arrivals, the York of 74 guns, was lying very snug at Maraignaland: this ship, one of the finest in the British navy, got ashore at that place, on coming away, and is so damaged that we understand she proceeds immediately to Halifax to be repaired. We are happy to find that government has at length thought proper to encrase the wages and privileges of our hardy tars, by giving to them the eighth share of all the prize money formerly given to the commanders; this new regulation will, we trust, put a stop to future predatory enterprize, and turn the thoughts of our naval commanders to the more honorable, though less lucrative, employment of watching the motions of the enemy in his blockaded port. For the information of some of our mercantile friends, we beg to furnish a list of the cargoes above alluded to, now on sale at Martinico: 3040 barrels flour, 500 barrels beef, pork and pickled fish, 500 hogsheads salt fish, besides lumber, staves, hoops, and shingles.
RUTLAND, (Ver.) Oct. 20.
A correspondent at Montpelier, has obligingly favored us with the following information from the Vermont legislature.
On Monday last his excellency gov. Tichenor, met both houses of the legislature, and delivered the following,
SPEECH:
Gentlemen of the Council, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
WITH diffidence and solicitude, I accept the invitation of the citizens of Vermont, again to assume the office of their first magistrate: The experience which I have had of its relations and difficulties, and the perplexed and critical situation of our public affairs, cannot but suggest considerations of caution and anxiety, in entering upon the duties and assuming the responsibility, unavoidably attached to so important a station. Believing, at the same time, that every power which a man possesses, ought to be devoted to the interests of his country, I shall enter upon a service, from which experience has shown, that no man can hope to retire, whoolly free from censure.
The business, which our constituents have constitutionally assigned to their general

assembly, the civil and political interests of the state, are the great objects which will necessarily engage your attention. It cannot be concealed, but that these have been considerably affected by a late law of the United States, and the measures pursued to enforce it. Among a people accustomed to honest industry, and under a government which had ever permitted them freely to dispose of the fruits of their labor, as a natural and unalienable right, it was to be feared, there might exist a strong disposition to evade its restrictions. Nothing but an appeal to their patriotism, and a strong conviction of the utility of the measure, would enforce obedience to a law, which, in its operation, blighted the best hopes of the laborer, & destroyed every incentive to useful & honorable enterprise. While, therefore, we regret the stain upon the character of a respectable portion of our citizens, in consequence of the conduct of a few who had violated a law of the general government, suspending our commerce, by an embargo, without limitation; sincerely regret that the law was not accompanied with that evidence of national necessity or utility, which at once would have commanded obedience and respect. We may also sincerely deplore, that instead of an application in the first instance to the civil authority, it was deemed necessary to have recourse to military aid: And feeling in common with my fellow-citizens, the evils which result from that law, I cannot but hope, that the wisdom of the national legislature, will induce an early repeal of the same. If, however, this should not be deemed wise or expedient, I must strongly enjoin the necessity of a quiet submission to the privations and inconveniences that may be experienced, until we are relieved in a constitutional way. Nothing could be more erroneous, dangerous and inconsistent with republican principles, than an avowed or hostile opposition to the law. Our duty and our interest, as citizens, are undoubtedly, to obey the laws of our country, and to avoid and discountenance every measure, that tends to impair the majesty of the laws, the authority of the government, or the sacred regard which is due to our federal constitution. To enact wise and just laws, and to elect able and faithful magistrates, are among the most important articles of the business that will demand your attention: Wherever justice is duly administered and the laws faithfully executed, the public opinion will receive its proper direction, and the public mind and feeling will be composed. In addition to the customary appointment of civil officers for the ensuing year, it will be your duty to elect a Senator to represent this state in the Congress of the U. S. and, to appoint electors of a President and Vice President of the United States. There can be times, in which the appointment of civil officers is not a matter of the highest consequence, and of sacred importance; but if there ever was a period that demanded the united wisdom and virtue of the legislature, that period is come. Your duty to yourselves and to your country, now call you to lay aside every party consideration, and exert all your virtue, in the discharge of this duty. Under these impressions I trust, you will, with the most impartial and serious solicitude, enquire for the greatest abilities and virtue, and endeavor to establish and place them in office. The most likely way to benefit and serve your country is, to give to wisdom and virtue the pre-eminence and direction in your civil councils and public offices.
It was the sentiment and doctrine of the Father of our country, that the best way to preserve peace, was always to be prepared for war. The advice of the venerable Washington, respecting the constant arrangement of the militia, has received additional weight in this state, from the calls that have been made on this class of our citizens, to appear in support of the civil law and power. The promptitude, fidelity and discretion with which they discharged their duty, was honorable to themselves and reputable to the state. At a time when all our foreign relations are marked with uncertainty and danger, can we do better than to review this subject, and to make it a matter of impartial enquiry, what further measures may be of use to improve the state of the militia of this commonwealth? Human wisdom has not discovered any way to avoid the expense and danger of a standing army, but by giving discipline, activity and legal direction to the militia of a country.
Among the advantages and virtues of a republican government, economy has always been considered as one of the most useful. You are fully sensible, that this should extend to all the branches and articles of the revenue and expenditures; and the more critical and minute your attention shall be, on the subject, the better you will discharge your duty to your constituents. Besides the annual income and expenses of the state, it may be of use to enquire into the advan-
tages and emoluments that have accrued to the state, from the several banks, that have been established by the legislature. When the policy, the operations, and the benefits attending these institutions, are fully understood, you will be able to determine, with more certainty, whether they require any, and what alterations or encouragements.
The state prison, ordered to be erected by the late general assembly, is a matter of much importance to the state. It will probably, be a benefit to this institution, and to the government, to enquire into the state of the buildings: the proceedings of the committee, and to the expenditures of money appropriated to that object.
In addition to the ordinary business that may come before you, it may be expedient, to revise our criminal code of laws; especially, an act entitled "an act for the punishment of high crimes and misdemeanors," as to carry into complete effect, the humane and benevolent intentions of the legislature, in establishing the state prison.
It has been considered the duty of the executive, to lay before the legislature, at their annual session, all communications from the general and state governments, which affect us with regard to our internal economy or our relative connexion with the Federal Union. Such communications, at this eventful crisis, might perhaps, be expected, not only as important in themselves, but as necessary to aid you in your legislative deliberations. But the absence of my predecessor in office, and the circumstance of having received no documents from him, must be my apology for silence on this subject.
I shall cordially co-operate with you, gentlemen, in all counsels and measures which can, in any way, be promotive of the true interests of our country; and humbly rely upon a superintendant Providence, that all our honest endeavors for the public good, may be crowned with success.

On the 12th September (says the Genesee Messenger) the operation of Hebdominal Paracentesis was performed by Dr. Jeremiah Atwater, in the presence of Drs. Silas Wood and Nathan Wadsworth, on Lovice, wife of L. Barret, of Bloomfield, in the 20th year of her age, by which operation was discharged in the course of three hours, eleven and an half gallons of fluid, weighing 99 1-2 lbs.
Extract of a letter from the honorable James Scragg, dated
ST. MARY'S, October 7.
"Ere this you must have heard of the melancholy situation of this city, owing to the introduction of a most malignant fever, from a vessel landing two seamen, sick with the fever; one of whom died soon after, and from that source the disease has spread to a most alarming degree. On its being ascertained that the fever was spreading, the inhabitants fled to the country, as many as could, but unfortunately too many remained, as will be seen by the list of victims. We have buried since the 10th of last month, 34 persons, 39 of whom have died since the 29th of the same month. The list kept by the committee of Health, lies before me; from it I can state, that of 62 persons seized with the fever, 34 are in their graves, and some of the survivors dangerous. Among the victims who have fallen, is a valuable friend, Robert M'Farlane, esq. our Post-Master, who died on the 5th instant, after an illness of three days. There does not now remain in town more than 20 well white persons. I have lost my nephew: Mrs. S. has been ill, and four others of my family, but are all recovering; Peyton Skipwith, esquire, died on the 2d instant, on Cumberland Island, of the prevailing fever, taken in town. The disease that now rages here, has every appearance of the yellow fever, that visited New-York and Philadelphia four years past. The first attack is by a pain over the eye-brows, in the back, a chill and vomiting—every one who have died, have had the black vomit, bleeding at the nose and mouth. Six new cases the last 24 hours, ending at 12 o'clock yesterday. I have not heard of any this morning, and only one death."

"I have seen," says a writer of the sixteenth century, "a Rose newly springing from the clefts in its hood, and at first it was fair in the morning, and full of the dew of Heaven as a lamb's fleece; but when a rude breath has forced open its virgin modesty, and dismantled its too youthful retirements, it began to put on darkness and to recline to softness and the symptoms of a sickly age;—it bowed the head, and broke its stalk; and at night, having lost some of its leaves and all its beauty, fell into the portion of weeds and outworn face." Such is Beauty, when the blooming Rose of virtue is rifled by the insidious hand of some despoiler!
DIED this morning after a short illness, Mrs. MARIA M. TAYLOR, consort of Robert I. Taylor, esq. in the 22d year of her age. Her friends and acquaintance are invited to attend her funeral to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, from her late dwelling in St. Asaph Street.
