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 MANUFACTURES:
Tending to shew that by a due encouragement of these essential interests, the nation will be rendered more respectable abroad and more prosperous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
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 Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain 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 affairs, 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 support. 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 province 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 confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

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 us; which for convenience, it is believed, is 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 vacant 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.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on, on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO,
A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.

MR. SNOWDEN,
THE London Society of Arts having, some time since, offered a premium of 20l. or a gold medal, for the best account of fattening of hogs, in consequence of which Mr. Young sent them a series of trials as a candidate for their medal, and was honored with it. The following are extracted from his essay.
Clover is a most capital object in keeping all sorts of swine; but those writers who assert that it will completely fatten them, go much too far.
There is no sort of cattle in a farm that requires more attention than hogs; any method therefore that simplifies the management, must be peculiarly valuable.
Hogs that are a quarter (or upwards) grown, may be confined to a clover field, until it is necessary to sow wheat. Nine tenths of Britain will doubt this fact, but I have frequently experienced the truth of it.
It is requisite to add, there must be a pond in the field which never fails. In a good crop of clover swine may be locked up from the middle of May till Michaelmas, and no consumption of the clover will pay the farmer better.
Nothing can be clearer than the fact of hogs thriving excellently on clover."
By the Domestic Encyclopedia it appears, that "Mr. Kirk, of Yorktown, Pennsylvania, fed one pig with boiled potatoes and Indian corn, and another with the same articles unboiled."
The two animals were weighed every week, and the difference between them was as six to nine. The experiment was continued several weeks, and the animals alternately fed upon boiled and unboiled food, with an uniformity of result, which sufficiently proved the very great profit arising from boiled food.

FROM THE REPUBLICAN (ALBANY) CRISIS.
LETTER VI.
From Mr. Richard Saunders, to a friend in a neighboring state:
No, my friend, it is not whether a northern or a southern man shall be President, that splits you, it is who shall get the greatest share of the loaves and fishes. Cheetham knows very well that if Madison is President, he is no more printer of the laws of the United States and Duane knows that if Clinton is President, he will no more supply Congress with pen, ink and paper. I don't, however, put Cheetham on a par with Duane—Cheetham has talents, and some fear of God, and some regard for man, and since he got over that madness when he wanted to stab the federalists in the night, he seems to be daily getting into a better frame of mind.
What was it split your party when Burr was put up in our state for governor—when Lewis was held up? There was no southern men in question then—No, no, it is not sixpence matter to me who is President, so that I remain in office, or am sure of getting an office. This is the true language of 99 out of 100 of good republicans, if they would be honest enough to tell the truth. If Burr had been made governor, then your Clinton men would have been turned out. Lewis began to appoint men to office who did not belong to the brotherhood, and the brotherhood turned him out, and so they would turn out Tompkins out, if he dared to appoint a justice who was not of the thoroughgoing breed.
You must not be angry with me if I say that the whole aim and end of the writers and brawlers for Madison and for Clinton, is to support the man who will support them—Cheetham says Madison is a weak man, a man to pay tribute to France, a man who will destroy commerce—The printers on the other side say Clinton is in his dotage—that he sold all our western lands for a song, and has made his fortune—that he was for the embargo as well as Madison—that De Witt, his nephew, will rule him while he lives, and after he is dead, will rule us, and the government will be changed into a monarchy, and so on.
You ask whether the federalists will do better than the others; heaven knows; it may be not; and yet, I think there is a chance that they will. You see things are dreadful bad now, and before long will grow worse, the different parties among the democrats or republicans hate one another with a more bitter hatred than can be conceived, infinitely more than they do the federalists. What is to be the end of this? Look at the parties in France before Bonaparte took them in hand; they cut one another's heads off, and so it will be here I fear, if you go on as you have done, at least in this state, for 5 or 6 years past.
As to the federalists doing better, there is this chance; a new broom sweeps clean, as the saying is, and as it is the interest of all men setting out in life to establish a good character and to make friends, I think for the first few years of their government at least, it is likely they would try to do well; besides, they have been so long in retirement that they have had time to reflect on the acts of their party while it was in power, and if they have found any thing wrong, rely on it, they will
take care for the future—and they have seen the faults and follies which your people have committed; (for those who look on have a better chance of judging than those who are warmly engaged in the game) and I trust they will steer clear of them too.
I am, &c.
RICHARD SAUNDERS.
FROM THE ASIATIC MIRROR.
The annexed account of ship wreck, and particulars respecting the survivors, cannot have too general publicity; not merely as an article of newspaper intelligence, but as exhibiting an influence of courage nobly disarming death of its terrors even when approaching under one of its most hideous forms: and, further, as affording a pleasing influence of benevolence extending its assistance, to the relief of distress. Such instances of fortitude, such instances of humanity, exact an honorable record, not only as a tribute of applause, but that their example may incite to the exercise of similar virtues. We, therefore, perform a willing, though humble duty, in consigning their publication to the widely extended circulation of the Mirror.
Some account of the loss of the Portuguese ship Bowanong, captain John Napremas-sena, lately on her passage from Calcutta towards China; translated and abridged for the Asiatic Mirror, from the narrative of a gentleman, who was passenger on board, dated Chittagong, 10th Curt.
We left our Bengal pilot the end of April last, and stretched across the bay, till the 24th of May, when, in latitude of 16 57, north; longitude 91 7, east, we encountered a severe gale, accompanied with a heavy swell, in which the ship labored much, and became leaky. The gale increasing, it became necessary for the preservation of the ship, to cut away the main and mizen masts. During the violence of the storm, it was with difficulty that the incessant working of the pumps could keep the ship free, and from her masts being gone, she was exposed to the swell, which broke over the hull with such force and frequency, that we were every moment in dread of foundering.
In this alarming situation our commander not only displayed the utmost professional skill, but by his presence of mind, by his collected, manly and judicious conduct, afforded an example that served to raise our hopes and to animate our exertions.
On the 26th of May, at 8 A. M. the weather having considerably moderated, we found almost the whole of our water butts stove in, so that independent of other material wants, it became necessary to put into the nearest port for a supply of water. The land upon our lee, was an unfrequented part of the coast of Ava, which we knew to be inhabited by a barbarous people, from whom we could not hope for the assistance that our wants required. Yet as the south west monsoon, at that season, usually blows with violence, we had no other choice than to endeavor to make the land in any point that the disabled state of our vessel would admit. We accordingly stood before the wind, and made the coast, after a short run, in the vicinity of the Broken islands; and sent a boat on shore, some leagues to the northward of the river: Barton, to obtain an immediate supply of fresh water. In this we were disappointed. The coast, where the boat landed, was a barren desert, and although wells were sunk in various places along the beach, in the hope of reaching water, all our attempts proved fruitless. We were therefore obliged to make what sail we could before the wind, to the northward, in quest of water. It was proposed to put into Cheduba, but unfortunately we fell to leeward of the island, and found it necessary to anchor off Saduha, where we obtained water and some provisions: but as we could not there repair the losses of the ship, so as to enable us with safety to put to sea, we were desirous if possible, to reach either Cheduba or Chittagong.
On the 16th of June we weighed, and stood out from Saduha. In the mean time the leak was increasing, insomuch that it required the constant working of the pumps both night and day, to keep the ship clear. While in this situation on the 17th of June, the day after leaving Saduha, we experienced a second gale of wind, as violent as the first. In the now disabled condition of our ship, and the exhausted state of the crew, from constant labor at the pumps, we had no other alternative than to endeavor to run the vessel on shore, in the hopes of saving the lives of the people on board. While in pursuance of this design, we were so fortunate as to run into a bay, where, being somewhat sheltered from the storm, we came to anchor at 6 P. M. the pumps incessantly working, and the leak rather gaining upon us, in spite of all our exertions. At 11 P. M. the gale still increasing, the ship drove from her an-
chors, and soon afterwards struck upon a narrow insulated rock upon which it was evident she would quickly go to pieces.
The unshaken mind of our commander was now eminently displayed. Finding that the ship must certainly go to pieces, and that the people could no longer continue on board with safety, he ordered the long boat to be got out, himself superintending the operation, which was not effected without difficulty. As soon as the boat was in readiness, the supercargo, myself and as many of the people as she could carry, were embarked; when the captain, unmindful of his own safety, ordered us to quit the wreck, and make the best of our way to the shore. As the boat could not contain all the people, some sought their safety on spars, planks, hencoops, &c. while the captain and five or six of his people continued with the wreck endeavoring to prepare a raft. We who were in the long boat passed a dreary night, ignorant of the fate of our companions, and despairing ourselves of reaching the shore alive, the gale still continuing in all its fury. At length the sun arose, when we had the mortification to find that our brave and faithful friend, our late commander, had voluntarily sacrificed his life to a sense of duty; he who so well deserved a better fate, and the men who were with him, perished with the wreck, which went to pieces in the night.
The long boat did not get on shore till noon, when we landed; and were soon afterwards seized and conducted by the natives, as prisoners, to the presence of Rajah, in the capital of Saduha, where we were detained for four months, during which time we experienced every privation and indignity, from a barbarian government alike insensible to the claims of justice or humanity.
At length, after incessant intreaties, we, with the exception of the supercargo, his brother-in-law, the purser, and four others were, on the 17th of last month, set at large. The persons detained were to be marched up to the presence of his majesty at Ava. They were to be accompanied by some of the chests of opium and bales of cotton which floated on shore from the wreck. Of the cargo that came on shore, the chief part was seized and sold by the inhabitants of Saduha.
We who were released, to the number of forty six, were provided with a small fishing boat, in which we hastened to quit the inhospitable shore of Saduha. In our eagerness to embark, we neglected a proper supply of water and provisions, and overlooked the insufficient accommodation of our boat. We were however but a short time at sea, before we found ourselves so cramped for room and so much exposed to the inclemency of the weather that we preferred going on shore, wholly unprovided for a journey, as we were determined to traverse the woods and to seek our way to Chittagong, on foot. Having landed, we proceeded along the coast, and after waking day and night, without refreshment or food, we arrived at the end of the fourth day, more dead than alive at Chittagong. Here our wants were doomed to be completely removed. Here our sufferings were soothed by the tenderest offices of humanity.
James Bruce Laing, esq. judge and magistrate of Chittagong, animated by sentiments honorable to humanity, and congenial to the British character, succored our distresses with zeal, promptitude, and liberality, calculated to excite both our gratitude and admiration. I have no expressions equivalent to my sense of the beneficence & generosity, experienced from this gentleman, in the kindness of whose attentions, all my companions and myself lost every trace of our late distresses, except in their remembrance. I trust that my countrymen, whether in Europe or in India, will justly appreciate such benevolence: and that they will be proud to acknowledge its claim to our national and individual gratitude, by employing every opportunity that may present, to relieve a distressed shipwrecked Briton.
Mr. Laing was desirous to detain the people sometime longer at this place, under the apprehension that they were not fully recruited. A longer stay was, however unnecessary. The Lascars being amply provided with money and other requisites for their journey, set out some days ago for Luckipore, on their way to Calcutta. The Europeans, nine in number, and two Chinese, being equipped from the same liberal source, with a boat, money, and whatever was required for their voyage proceeded hence a few days ago for Calcutta.
Subjoined is an account of the fate of the persons late of the Bowanong.

The following excellent reflections on the late revolution in Spain are from the pen of a valuable correspondent:
Spain.—The accounts from Spain, published yesterday, leave no room to doubt but that the once mighty monarchy of "Spain and the Indies" is annihilated; and that the extensive, rich, and fertile countries which constituted that monarchy, have become provinces of France. Bonaparte, in this instance, seems to have completely thrown off that disguise in which he has usually appeared to nations he meant to subjugate. He no longer comes as a protector and friend of the people, to save the deluded populace from the tyranny of the English merchants: He is no longer the deliverer from oppression, but comes avowedly to oppress. Thinking the power and influence he has over the Spaniards sufficient to bring down all opposition, he does not consider it worth his while to even cloak his designs. Not content with the conquest of such a noble and high spirited nation, he plans their degradation, in hopes, no doubt, not only to subdue the country but to conquer that spirit of independence which burns in the bosom of every Spaniard, and which never submitted quietly to a foreign yoke. In order effectually to humble the pride of the Spanish people, he has swept away every vestige of their independence. He has not given them the consolation of even a king of his own creation, but he has at once reduced them to a state of vassalage, and wiped away their name and nation from the face of the earth. How the Spaniards will bear this outrageous usurpation, time must determine: From what we can learn by the last accounts from Spain, it appears not to set so easy on them as the usurper might wish; and we should not be surprised if they should be roused from their state of torpor by this unparalleled insult, and give the Frenchmen such a reception as shall make them heartily sick of the job they have undertaken. It cannot be expected, however, that the wily Corsican has left his plans so lame, as to give the Spaniards much chance to save their country: Old Spain and its dependencies in Europe, must undoubtedly fall; and though the inhabitants in their last struggles may send a few thousand Frenchmen to the land of "everlasting sleep," they will, in the end, be forced to submit, and grace the triumph of the Universal Conqueror.
To take a full view of the effects the revolution will have on the affairs of Bonaparte and of the world, would far exceed our present limits, and require more time than we have at this moment to spare. We cannot, however, pass on to make our reflections on the subject, without turning the attention of our readers, to the present situation of the Spanish provinces, in America. Those provinces the richest and most extensive in the world, are now without a king. Their own rightful sovereign has abdicated the throne, and has resigned his kingdom into the hands of the Almighty, who gave it to him, for he, the king, had no right to give it to any one else, and the usurper who drove him by flattery and force to adopt this measure, has not as yet been able to take possession of the provinces. What a glorious time for the South Americans to make themselves independent. Such a time was never offered a people to form a government of their choice. Had they leaders capable of uniting them, they might soon make themselves a flourishing nation, and fill the blank made amongst the states of the world by the destruction of Old Spain. This being a subject of fruitful and pleasing speculation, we may at some future day indulge ourselves in the pursuit of it, by giving a most extensive view of the Spanish revolution, and its probable effects on the nations of the earth. At present we proceed to make some reflections on this important revolution, as it respects our own country, and to compare the situation of the Spanish monarchy, with that of the independent states of America.
And here what a lesson for an American what a page in the book of fate have we laid open to our view! The Spaniards were in friendship with the French; they were not only allies, but were engaged in fighting the battles of the great emperor; they entered actively into all his plans of aggrandizement and assisted him in all his conquests. For this friendship, this assistance and submission to the will of the Corsican, what reward has he given them? He has overthrown the monarchy, erased the kingdom from the list of nations, and made the people slaves—hewers of wood and drawers of water for his armies. Americans, take warning. What is our present situation? Have we no reason to be alarmed? If we cannot see our danger after viewing the example set before us: if we cannot take warning from the fate of Switzerland, Germany,

Spain, our case is... Portugal, and the time is not far distant when we shall find ourselves in the same deplorable situation...

Ship Thomas Wilson, Gardner, 15 days from La Guayra.—Left La Guayra the 9th inst. on the morning of which day, an embargo had been laid on all vessels (Americans excepted) in consequence of the arrival of a Spanish vessel from Porto Rico, where packet had just arrived from Spain, with orders to that effect.
The French letter of marque brig General Ernouf, (of ten guns, and 28 or 30 men) arrived at La Guayra the 25th of June, in 5 days from Guadalupe, in quest of provisions, and had obtained permission to take away 500 barrels of flour, paying 26 do. per barrel, with a quantity of indian corn, rice, beef, &c. and was then engaged loading the same.
The captain of the General Ernouf informed, that a few days before he sailed from Guadalupe, an American schooner had arrived there from the U. S. with a quantity of hams, lard and cheese, all of which sold at one dollar per pound. It appeared that the schooner had cleared out a parcel of casks (as empty) in order to bring some sugar and molasses, and these provisions were concealed in them. There was no flour at Guadalupe, and the last had been sold at 40 dollars per barrel.

His majesty's frigate Greyhound, captain Troubridge, went not long since to the Isle of France, under a flag of truce, to enquire, after the fate of the Blenheim and Java when his flag was respected by gen. Decan, who unable to afford him any other intelligence of these ships, save that general reports stated them to have foundered off Madagascar, gave him an order, addressed to all persons under the domination of the French government, directing them to impart to captain Troubridge, all they might know concerning the vessels, and to afford him every facility, during the continuance of his cruise in search of his father.
The Olive sailed from Boston on the 20th ult. at which time the embargo continued in full force and the last supplemental bill to the embargo it seems, renders their coasting trade extremely difficult and vexatious.
The American brig Bellona, from Charleston to Kingston, with rice, detained by his majesty's ship Garland, captain Bevan, off Cape Meaze, on the 9th instant was brought into Port Royal yesterday; she sailed from Charleston on the 24th ultimo, at which time the embargo still continued in force; and there was no probability of its being taken off for a length of time, which occasioned the generality of Americans to be extremely clamorous.
