Address of Mr. Custis, TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES. [CONTINUED.]
The Arlington long-woolled, have been bred with great reference to the market, so as, if possible to leave an exception to the general introduction of their fleece. From the shearing of last May, will be seen the comparative view of fleece, and carcase, in which the average of wool was seven pounds and the carcase per quarter about the same. The length of wool was also estimated by measurement at nine inches.
The Persian, from whence this stock was originally derived, carried a wool of great length, but coarse, yet possessed a high form and good constitution. Upon this long wool and good form, I engrafted the fine and thick wool of Bakewell, my capital premium ram of 1805, and have invariably bred him upon his descendants to the present day, thus in great measure following the doctrines introduced and practised at Biskley. Previous to the institution of the premiums in 1805, I had so far succeeded in the improvement of my own domestic stock, as to produce a very capital ram, at the shearing of April, 1806, whose wool measured 14 inches on the back, and whose height and size were also very great. This capital sheep is called Mount-Vernon, and has been transferred to the White House in the county of New Kent, where his long-woolled race will hereafter be improved by rams of finer quality in the fleece. I perhaps started rather a new system, in commencing with the long though coarse wool, but I have found it attended with the happiest effects, and may venture to recommend it as the more speedy and certain method of breeding fine long-woolled sheep. My Arlington improved, derived from the same cause, have lost nothing in the fineness of their wool, by being originally derived from ancestors whose fleece was less fine: On the contrary unless a race so desirable as theirs could be had at once, I believe the best method would be to rear them upon the foundation of coarse long-woolled sheep. We know that nature in this climate yearly ameliorates the staple of wool, as may be seen in the native sheep of Smith's Island, which will be spoken of hereafter. If we were to breed from fine yet short-woolled sheep alone, very many causes must necessarily occur, before the staple could be lengthened, and the quality at the same time retained, but in founding your stock upon long-woolled, you at once possess the material quality of length and may improve in fineness. A very superior tup, of my early improvements, in the Persian race, is now in possession of William H. Foote, Esquire, of Hayfield: he is hornless or polled, which is rather an advantage, for the horns are supposed to weaken from the sustenance they require of the body, and are of no utility whatever. Descended from this tup is the very superior animal of his race called Mount-Vernon, now in the county of New Kent, and contemporary with these are the fine breeding ewes at Arlington, of the first class, which have been improved by the cross and subsequent continuation of Bakewell the prize ram of 1805, and whose offspring form the Arlington improved or American long-woolled sheep—a race which I offer to public inspection for the benefit of my country. A series of specimens of the Wool, comprising the improvements from the Persian in 1803, to the present date, duly arranged in regular gradation, may be seen by application to the Agricultural Society of Philadelphia, and in possession of Dr. Moase of Philadelphia, may be seen an Arlington improved ewe of the first quality—To the southward may be seen in possession of John Le Messurier, Esq. of Peterborough a tup of the same quality, and improvement as the ewe just mentioned, and at the White House in New Kent, the race of Mount-Vernon, will, I trust excite the public energy in the cause of Domestic Manufactures. The reason why the improved sheep have not been offered for sale ere this, is from fear of their not falling into hands which would preserve their quality, and duly estimate their value, and because the public sentiment was as yet not sufficiently warm, in the cause of the Woollen Manufacture, and sufficient public spirit not yet manifested to warrant the measure.
But recent events have awakened the people of the U. S. to a due sense of their internal situation, and imperiously called forth the latent energies of the state. If the same public spirit, exists in the internal policy of our country, as that which has been manifested on the infringement of our rights, the happiest effects may be preserved, and the U. S. hereafter will consider the late unfortunate occurrence, as one of the most signal interpositions in her favor, inasmuch as it has aroused her to a sense of her own dangers abroad, and her own situation at home. May returning peace only give fuller scope, and in no wise check the rising ardour in pursuit of domestic occupations, and we shall be able to take so lofty and commanding a ground, as to prevent a recurrence of aggression in future.

DOCUMENTS
Accompanying the Message of the President of March 22 1808. [CONTINUED.]
No. 3.
Correspondence between Mr. Madison and Mr. Rose.
(Mr. Madison's letter continued.)
Was it possible for the chief magistrate of a nation, who felt for its rights and its honor, to do less than interpose some measure of precaution at least against the repetition of enormities which had been so long uncontrolled by the government whose officers had committed them, and which had at last taken the exorbitant shape of hostility and of insult seen in the attack on the frigate Chesapeake? Candor will pronounce that less could not be done; and it will as readily admit that the proclamation comprising that measure could not have breathed a more temperate spirit, nor spoken in a more becoming tone. How far it has received from those whose intrusions it prohibited, the respect due to the national authority, or been made the occasion of new indignities, needs no explanation.
The president having interposed this precautionary interdiction, lost no time in instructing the minister plenipotentiary of the U. S. to represent to the British government the signal aggression which had been committed on their sovereignty and their flag, and to require the satisfaction due for it; indulging the expectation, that his Britannic majesty would at once perceive it to be the truest magnanimity, as well as the strictest justice, to offer that prompt and full expiation of an acknowledged wrong, which would re-establish and improve, both in fact and in feeling, the state of things which it had violated.
This expectation was considered as not only honorable to the sentiments of his majesty, but was supported by known examples, in which, being the complaining party, he had required and obtained, as a preliminary to any counter complaints whatever, a precise replacement of things, in every practicable circumstance, in their pre-existing situation.
Thus in the year 1764, Bermudians and other British subjects, who had, according to annual custom, taken possession of Turk's Island for the season of making salt, having been forcibly removed with their vessels and effects by a French detachment from the island of St. Domingo, to which Turk's island was alleged to be an appurtenance, the British ambassador at Paris, in pursuance of instructions from his government, demanded, as a satisfaction for the violence committed, that the proceedings should be disavowed, the intention of acquiring Turk's island disclaimed, orders given for the immediate abandonment of it on the part of the French, every thing restored to the condition in which it was at the time of aggression, and reparation made of the damages which any British subjects should be found to have sustained, according to an estimation to be settled between the governors of St. Domingo and Jamaica. A compliance with the whole of this demand was the result.
Again:—In the year 1789, certain English merchants having opened a trade to Nootka Sound, on the north west coast of America, and attempted a settlement at that place, the Spaniards, who had long claimed that part of the world as their exclusive property, dispatched a frigate from Mexico, which captured the two English vessels engaged in the trade, and broke up the settlement on the coast.—The Spanish government was the first to complain, in this case, of the intrusions committed by the British merchants. The British government, however, demanded that the vessels taken by the Spanish frigate should be restored, and adequate satisfaction granted, previous to any other discussion.
This demand prevailed; the Spanish government agreeing to make full restoration of the captured vessels, and to indemnify the parties interested in them for the losses sustained. They restored also the buildings and tracts of land, of which the British subjects had been dispossessed. The British, however, soon gave a proof of the little value they set on the possession by a voluntary dereliction, under which it has since remained.
The case which will be noted last, tho' of a date prior to the case of Nootka Sound, is that of Falkland's islands. These islands lie about one hundred leagues eastward of the straits of Magellan. The title to them had been a subject of controversy among several of the maritime na-
tions of Europe. From the position of the islands, and other circumstances, the possession of Spain bore an advantageous comparison with those of her competitors. In the year 1770, the British took possession of Port Egmont, in one of the islands, the Spaniards being at the time in possession of another part, and protesting against a settlement by the British. The protest being without effect, ships and troops were sent from Buenos Ayres by the governor of that place, which forcibly dispossessed and drove off the British settlers.
The British government looking entirely to the dispossession by force, demanded as a specific condition of preserving harmony between the two courts, not only the disavowal of the Spanish proceedings, but that the affairs of that settlement should be immediately restored to the precise state in which they were previous to the act of dispossession. The Spanish government made some difficulties; requiring particularly a disavowal, on the part of Great Britain, of the conduct of her officer at Falkland's islands, which, it was alleged, gave occasion to the steps taken by the Spanish governor; and proposing an adjustment by mutual stipulation in the ordinary form.
The reply was, that the moderation of his Britannic majesty having limited his demand to the smallest reparation he could accept for the injury done, nothing was left for discussion but the mode of carrying the disavowal and restitution into execution; reparation losing its value if it be conditional, and to be obtained by any stipulation whatever from the party injured.
The Spanish government yielded. The violent proceedings of its officers were disavowed. The fort, the port and every thing else were agreed to be immediately restored to the precise situation which had been disturbed; and duplicates of orders issued for the purpose to the Spanish officers, were delivered into the hands of one of the British principal secretaries of state. Here again it is to be remarked, that satisfaction having been made for the forcible dispossession, the islands lost their importance in the eyes of the British government, were in a short time evacuated, and Port Egmont remains with every other part of them in the hands of Spain.
Could stronger pledges have been given than are found, that an honorable and instant reparation would be made in a case, differing no otherwise from those recited, than as it furnished to the same monarch of a great nation, an opportunity to prove that adhering always to the same immutable principle, he was as ready to do right to others, as to require it for himself?
Returning to the instructions given to the minister plenipotentiary of the United States at London, I am to observe that the president thought it just and expedient to insert as a necessary ingredient in the adjustment of the outrage committed on the American frigate, a security against the future practice of the British naval commanders, in impressing from merchant vessels of the United States on the high seas, such of their crews as they might undertake to denominate British subjects.
To this association of the two subjects, the president was determined, 1st, by his regarding both as resting on kindred principles; the immunity of private ships, with the known exceptions made by the laws of nations, being as well established as that of public ships; and there being no pretext for including in these exceptions the impressment (if it could be freed from its enormous and notorious abuses) of the subjects of a belligerent by the officers of that belligerent. The rights of a belligerent against the ships of a neutral nation, accrue merely from the relation of the neutral to the other belligerent, as in conveying to him contraband of war, or in supplying a blockaded port.
The claim of a belligerent to search for, and seize on board neutral vessels on the high seas, persons under his allegiance, does not therefore rest on any belligerent right under the law of nations, but on a prerogative, derived from municipal law; and involves the extravagant supposition, that one nation has a right to execute at all times and in all cases, its municipal laws and regulations, on board the ships of another nation not being within its territorial limits.

Interesting Foreign News.
From London papers to February 22d, received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
LONDON, February 20.
A former report is again set afloat in Russia, that Bonaparte has demanded the hand of the emperor's sister. Alexander, it is said, was between dread and disgrace. Eager as our enemy has ever evinced himself to consolidate and establish his self-acquired power, by entwining it with the interest of others, we by no means regard this report as totally undeserving of credit. Murmurs prevail in St. Petersburg amongst the merchants. To remedy part of the inconvenience under which they labor from the interruption of trade, France means to purchase largely of Russian goods. The English merchants in St. Petersburg entertain considerable alarm, lest in the end they should lose their liberty.
Ministers, we understand, intend to muster all their forces in the house of lords, on a motion for rescinding the resolution passed on Thursday night contrary to their wishes. The grounds on which they mean to justify this proceeding is, the non-existence of that information which they have asserted, in the preamble to the orders of council, to be in possession of; and which the vote of their lordships calls upon them to produce.
The unfortunate king of Prussia has at length made one step towards his capital. He has transferred his residence from Memel, where he had taken up his abode since the peace of Tilsit, to Koningsberg. Proceeding at this rate it will be some time before he reaches Berlin.
February 22.
A report has been in circulation since Saturday, that Mr. Canning, disgusted with his colleagues, and indignant at the insults he has received, means to take ample vengeance for his wrongs by immediately resigning. Strong hopes, however, are still entertained, that this catastrophe, so pregnant with national mischief, may be averted; and that the wrath of our secretary, like a storm in spring, will, after an evanescent bluster, give place to sunshine and tranquility. For our own part we have no hesitation to confess that such is our decided opinion, for although we have no doubt that Mr. Canning would have great satisfaction in mortifying or injuring his colleagues, even to the violence of every patriotic feeling, we are well convinced that he is by no means inclined to quarrel with his bread and butter. And the latter, we are enabled to assure our readers, would, as affairs are at present situated, be the inevitable consequence of the former.
We believe that we may announce, as the first fruits of the happy alteration that has taken place in the internal economy of the cabinet, the speedy sailing of a grand armament for the purpose of more effectually enforcing the regulations of the orders of council by a strict blockade of the Atlantic ocean; and a formidable military missionary expedition, to subdue and convert some of the more remote tribes in the northern extremity of America.
We are sorry to announce the death of general lord Lake.

COPENHAGEN, January 19.
It appears that as early as the month of July, it was supposed in the isle of France that a war must at last be unavoidable, on which account an embargo was laid on all the Danish ships lying there. A hope is therefore entertained, that by this measure of the French government many ships of our merchants and trading companies will escape being captured.
By the firing out of the Danish fleet, orders for which have been sent down to Portsmouth, it is very manifest what was the real motives for the robbery committed here, could any doubt remain concerning it. The English at first boasted that they had ships enough, and only wanted to detain ours that they might not be employed against them.
To encourage our manufactures and annoy the enemy the following measures have been proposed as most efficient: 1. The prohibition of the use and importation of any English manufactures. 2. The introduction of a national dress. 3. The establishment of a great privateering company, the privateers of which should keep at a great distance from one another so as to be able to come to each other's aid on the first gun firing, by which means they might be enabled to capture the convoying ship, and all the vessels under the convoy. This, it is stated in the plan might easily be effected, if the ship of war be attacked at

the same time at head and stern by the above number of privateers, each having from 20 to 30 guns. The coast of Norway and the West India seas are the most proper places for the privateers to cruise in. This plan comes from a marine officer. An extraordinary levy of recruits is this year to take place in Norway, on the same principles which have been observed in the kingdom of Denmark, and the duchies.
HAMBURGH, January 25. In No. 195 of this Gazette of last year, we inserted a letter, purporting to be from his royal highness the prince of Asturias, and notifying to the latter the present of a sword, and his appointment to be generalissimo of the army then on its march for the conquest of Portugal. We are now informed in an authentic manner that the said letter was fictitious, and we hereby correct our error.
HANOVER, January 8. By order of the French government, the intendant officer gave notice, in the course of last month, of a forced loan of 9,000,000 francs—which, in case of non-payment, is to be levied by the most rigorous means of execution.
PETERSBURGH, December 19. Prince Alexis Kurakin, brother to the Russian ambassador at the court of Vienna, and who in the reign of the late emperor Paul, was attorney general, has been appointed minister of the home department, and count Kuturubey, who held that place, has been dismissed. On the representation made by the minister of trade, of the great inconvenience which foreign merchants labor under, who wish to travel in Russia on account of their business, in consequence of the ukase of the 23d of August, his imperial majesty has pleased to ordain, that all foreign merchants who, on account of business, wish to visit any of the frontier departments, may obtain the passport required for that purpose from the commandant of the frontier in such department. But should such foreigners be desirous of proceeding farther into the interior of the empire, they must not do so without having obtained a passport from the minister of foreign affairs, agreeable to the ukase of the 23d August. No passports have as yet been granted to the English merchants who wish to leave this country.
VIENNA, Jan. 12. The Archipelago is full of English ships, threaten Smyrna, and blockade all the Turkish ports.
TRIESTE Jan. 4. Several French privateers are now cruising off this port, who take all ships bound hither from Sicily and Malta, and carry them into Italian ports.
VENICE, Jan. 7. On account of the considerable orders for olive oil, which have been received from Germany & the north of Europe, the said article is now conveyed from the kingdom of Naples by land to Ancona, and from thence in oil casks to this place and Trieste, from whence it is further dispatched. According to letters from Lisbon, the quantity of Brazil cotton amounted in that place on the arrival of the French to 25,000 bags, which are now exported to France.
LISBON, Dec. 23. On account of the great scarcity of money, nothing can be sold here at present. But very few houses pay their bills, and few or no bills are accepted, even for the best drawers. No goods are dispatched from hence, and the India house continues to be shut up. The confiscation of English goods are postponed until the 26th of this month, at which time the courier who is to bring the decision of the fate of Portugal is expected. The disturbances which took place on the 12th and 13th inst. were occasioned by the hoisting of the French colors which irritated the populace against the French military. The soldiers fired several volleys, but most of them in the air; and no more than twenty lives were lost upon the occasion. On the 14th the public tranquility was perfectly restored; and there is no reason to apprehend any further commotions unless a famine should goad the people to despatch.

The ship Baltic, arrived last night, sailed from Liverpool the 23d February, and on the 27th, in lat. 40, 11, long. 17, 20, was boarded by a French lugger, who examined her papers, and finding her cargo was salt and crates, permitted her to proceed, as they said she was of no value to them; they had boarded several American ships from the same port, with similar cargoes, which they did not detain. The Mars of New York, from Savannah for London, and the Mars from Liverpool, of and for Philadelphia, they had captured and sent for France.
On the 18th March, in lat. 42, 12, long. 56, 24, spoke the ship Pocahontas, Thomas Harris master, of and for Boston from Liverpool: captain H. sailed on the 24th February, and on the 1st of March was captured by two French frigates, the Hermoine and Ortance, from Martinico, who had a few hours before taken the Brutus of Doxbury, from Liverpool for Boston, and after stripping her of her sails, &c. she was set on fire about 5 P. M. the commodore of the frigates permitted the Pocahontas to proceed after discharging the rates between decks into the sea, on condition that captain Harris should take on board without any supply of provisions, the officers and crews of the ships Eliza, William and Brutus.
The Eliza, Elisha Dunbar master, of New York, from Liverpool for Charles. ton (belong to Jacob Barker of this city) was captured on the 17th February and set on fire two hours after, allowing only time for the officers and people to take their cloaths from her. The William, Charles Rockwell master, of New York, for Savannah, was captured on the 29th of February; they took from her the provisions, and stripped her of sails etc. with some crates from between decks, and set her on fire the 1st of March.
The Pocahontas was short of provisions, and had been on short allowance from their leaving the frigates. Capt. Delano relieved them by taking on board his ship Captains Dunbar and Rockwell, with a part of their officers and crews, who have arrived in the Baltic. The frigates had captured two British and one Portuguese vessel since leaving Martinico, and burnt them.
The ship Ceres, Green, arrived late last night in 34 days from Bordeaux, with Paris papers to the 20th ult. but they contain nothing new. Every thing remains as per our last accounts.
We have conversed with a gentleman who left Paris on the 13th February. He states that Mr. Armstrong was officially advised of our embargo about the 10th. The general opinion was that America must take a decided part with either France or England. It was reported at Paris and Bordeaux, that the Toulon and Rochfort squadrons, of 17 sail of the line, had formed a junction, and put to sea.

SATURDAY, APRIL 2.
The governor and council of New Jersey, on Saturday the 26th ultimo, declared the election of ADAM BOYD, esq, a representative of that state in the present Congress of the United States, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the death of Ezra Darby.
Captain Fowler of the Indiana, informs that the evening he sailed from Havanna (March 12th) news was just received from Martinico, via Trinidad in Cuba, that a British Fleet had arrived at that Island and landed Six Thousand men, who were all it was said, cut off by the French, this was communicated to captain F. by a respectable Spanish officer, a few hours before he sailed—how far it is to be depended on time must determine. (Phil. Mag.)
Suppose the British were to seize the American property at Gibraltar, and refuse to ransom it, but at forty per cent. of its value.—Suppose the Americans were to seize the Spanish property at New Orleans, and refuse to return but two thirds of it: What would be said? And what must we say of the French conduct at Leghorn, in the kingdom of Etruria? Do the French respect any principles, or any laws? Does not every thing sink before the will and power of France?

Madame Du Cherray,
A FRENCH LADY, lately arrived from Moscow, where she has for several years been at the head of one of the best academies in that city, under the immediate protection of his majesty Alexander the first, emperor of all the Russias, and under the superintendence of that government—has the honor to inform the citizens of Alexandria and the public in general, that she has rented the house now occupied by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Wiley, in George Town, where she intends immediately after the Easter holidays to open her Academy for the reception of Boarders, Half Boarders and Day Scholars.—In her Academy will be taught French and English grammatically, History, Geography, Mythology, Writing, Arithmetic, Embroidery, and all sorts of Needle-work, which form a part of a young lady's education. The English will be taught by an English lady, recommended to her by the President of St. Mary's College, Baltimore. Drawing, Music & Dancing, will also be taught, but will form a particular charge.
Madame du Cherray invites a kind and generous public to grant her a confidence, to the deserving of which all her efforts will tend. She has been fortunate enough to succeed in Russia, as she can prove by a certificate granted her by the university of Moscow, translated into English, certified and verified by Mr. Harris, the American envoy in St. Petersburg. All her endeavors will tend to deserve the esteem and benevolence of those who may trust her with the education of their young ladies, and hopes that those endeavors will not prove fruitless.

Decree in Chancery.
By virtue of a decree of the superior court of chancery for the Richmond district, pronounced on an appeal, wherein Sarah Chapman, widow of Carr Chapman, deceased, and Susanna Chapman, an infant daughter of the said Carr Chapman, by the said Sarah Chapman, her guardian, were appellants; and Thompson and Veitch were appellees, I shall, on the first Monday in April next, before the court house of Prince William county, sell to the highest bidder, for ready money, or on a credit of 6, 12 & 18 months,
A Tract of Land,
IN the same county, which was granted to Thomas Chapman by deeds of lease and release from William Tebbs for 69 3/4 acres, bearing date the 17th and 18th days of June 1774.
Also, one other tract of Land, in the same county, which was conveyed to the said Thomas Chapman by deeds of lease and release from Bertrand Ewell and his wife, and Jesse Ewell and his wife, for 30 acres, more or less, bearing date the 9th and 10th days of April, 1775.
Also, one tract or parcel of Land, which was conveyed to the said Chapman by deeds of lease and release from Jesse Ewell and his wife, and Bertrand Ewell and his wife, for 150 acres, more or less, bearing date the 2d and 3d days of January, 1784, all of which deeds are now of record in the county court of Prince William. And also, all the other estate, right, title, claim and possession which Carr Chapman, on the 20th November, 1797, had of and in to the land and real estate whereof his father or any of his ancestors had died, seized or possessed. The above description is taken from the mortgage deed executed by Carr Chapman to Thompson & Veitch on the 20th November, 1797, and now recorded in Prince William court, under which the property is sold. It is understood that the three tracts of land have been united into one which adjoins the town of Dumfries. On it there is a dwelling house & some wood. The general rights described will, as it is believed, comprehend a fourth part of the reversion of all the dower land of Susanna Gwinnett, and one fourth part of the reversion of all the land devised by Thomas Chapman to Elizabeth Overall, after the death of the said Susanna and the said Elizabeth. Bond and approved security will be required.

Mount-Washington for Sale.
I will sell my FARM in Fairfax county, and give immediate possession. It is less than three miles from Alexandria, and six from the George-Town ferry—the distance from the projected bridge will be less—the house stands on an elevated hill, and over looks the City, Alexandria, the river, with the shore, and hills of Maryland. The house which I erected, and is nearly finished, consists of a center house two stories high, and wings of one, joined to it, by circular corridors, the north wing contains 2 small rooms, the front of it, and the corridor adjoining, intended for a green house, this leads to a drawing room—a dining room separated from it by the passage and stair-case, is next to the south corridor which contains 3 closets, and leads to the kitchen—two small rooms in this wing with the kitchen—a pump of excellent water at the door. The second story of the center house contains 3 chambers and a dressing room, with fire places—a large closet adjoins the dining room—one of the same size opens on the stair case, both fitted up with shelves—a store room in the garret, and cupolo on the house top, from whence is seen a delightful, variegated landscape, completes the description of the mansion house. A neat cottage accommodates laborers, and there are stables, a carriage house, and ice house; the farm contains 103 acres, 70 enclosed and cultivated, the rest in wood; this place boasts the finest collection of fruit that I have seen, besides every other sort; the list given to me was 800 apples, 800 peaches, and 300 cherry trees: I have added several hundred of the best kinds.—The garden consists of 12 large squares, the soil enriched and borders filled with fruit trees, and bushes; it is surrounded by a live cedar hedge, which also extends on each side of the house: the former proprietor possessed much taste, and collected many ornamental trees and shrubs, which are judiciously disposed about the grounds. The soil is suitable for grass, and the portion of ground devoted to timothy and clover, yield an abundant crop; it produced good wheat and oats last year, and I think with small expense may be rendered productive. Those who wish a residence, where health will be preserved, and convenience of intercourse with Alexandria, George-Town, and the seat of government, will find all combined in Mount-Washington. I will shew the premises and impart the terms of sale, upon applications by letters directed to the Post-Office, Alexandria. ELIZA P. LAW.
