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 years, from the first of December next, to run; 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.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing some thing less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO,
My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise; two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured.

FROM THE MERCANTILE ADVERTISER.
To all the loyal subjects of their Catholic and most faithful majesties Ferdinand 7th, king of Spain, and the Prince Regent of Portugal, residing in the United States of America.
The remotest nations have known and physically experienced the valor, the intrepidity, and boldness of the brave and unconquerable Spaniards and Portuguese, who ever distinguished themselves by their love of their country, their king and their religion. No one can deny the rapid progress of their arms in former times; no person can dispute that their conquests (almost too great for human power) have covered our nation with glory, perpetuated their fame, and crowned them with immortal laurels. Remember a Cortis, who with four hundred Spaniards conquered the vast and powerful kingdoms of New Spain, Peru, &c. Look back to the invincible Portuguese, who extended their dominions over the rich and delightful kingdom of Brazil, and the most flourishing parts of Africa and India. Who will dispute that the fruits of their labor have furnished to the known world the riches it now possesses? But the world knows, and alas! we ourselves must confess, that the treasures of both our nations have been the deplorable cause of the effemination and enervation of our natives, and the first cause of the envy of foreign nations. Thus, beloved Spaniards and Portuguese, we had become the slaves of our riches and by them acquired those friends who under the pretext of promoting our happiness came to us like wolves in sheep's clothing, and anxiously sought to devour us. It was the brightness of our gold, and silver, our precious stones and our pearls, which dazzled our eyes and prevented us from looking into the malicious, execrable, and perfidious intentions of those avaricious wretches; but the iniquity of their proceedings has awakened us at last from the profound lethargy into which our ignorance had plunged us, and has roused us to recover once more our ancient fame. Thanks to the brave and wise men, who in the council of Seville brought on our present reformation, and called to our memory the lustre of our immortal Numantius; and thanks to the intrepid, the brave and loyal Gomez Freyre, and those other worthy Portuguese who dared to shake off the yoke of a foreign despot and usurper, and restore the glorious name of the famed Lusitani. Can there be one who calls himself a subject of either of the nations, however unhappy his situation may be, or however much he may have been injured by his country or government, who would not on the present occasion forget all, and follow so glorious, so sublime an example, founded on reason, justice, religion, and rights divine and human? Surely not; and if I am permitted to judge from my own feelings, tho' I consider myself the least capable among my countrymen, I am convinced that the example of our compatriots, the love we bear our families, the wish to redeem them from infamous captivity, the fidelity to our august sovereigns, and the profession of our sacred religion, will raise us to deeds worthy a Hannibal, or an Alexander! How much then may be expected from so many gallant subjects of both nations now on this continent, who possess all the qualities of faithful patriots, and whose valor is heightened by the crimes of our oppressor, so shocking to humanity?—Many of our brave men are separated from their beloved country by the chance of war; (which is the case with me) others are out of the reach of their families from the result of trifling offences, mostly produced by ignorance; and the greatest number of them perhaps detained here for want of opportunity or the necessary means to return to the dominions of their respective sovereigns. And it is much to be lamented (particularly under the present circumstances, where every individual may be usefully employed, either in the land or sea service) that no agents are appointed for the relief of those distressed persons in a foreign country. Yes, beloved Spaniards and Portuguese, some of the circumstances here stated occur in me; but remembering the various motives which attach me with fidelity to both nations, of whom I have been and still am a grateful subject, surmounting all the obstacles that present themselves to my view, animated by a natural enthusiasm, and wholly trusting to Providence, I solicit, call upon, and entreat, with all the eagerness of my faithful heart, all, and every Spaniard and Portuguese now residing in the United States of America, of whatever class, condition or color he may be, not exceeding the age of fifty years, and feeling the glow of true patriotism, to support, even at the sacrifice of life, his Country, King, and Religion, by uniting with the forces of our loved
compatriots to avenge the cause of so many innocent victims, in whose number perhaps most of us have a father, a brother, or some other dear relative. Let us hasten to avenge those that have fallen, and endeavor to prevent others from being immolated by the cruel hand of that tyrant who has trampled on humanity, and inundated all Europe with human blood.
Those who feel inclined to follow this their country's call, will be pleased to favor me with their names, situation, and place of residence, postage paid, and within the precise time of one month from this date, addressing their letters to me the undersigned, who, although not possessed of the pecuniary means to transport so many individuals to their native country as may anxiously wish to embark in so glorious a cause, which is the sole purport of this address, yet he hopes to be enabled with the assistance he may receive from the wealthier part of our countrymen resident in these states, who by their commercial and other affairs are prevented from joining us personally, or if necessary an application will be made to the ministers and agents of his Britannic majesty, our great and faithful ally, to facilitate our union with our brave countrymen in that cause which he so generously has embraced as his own. Therefore, in the present situation of our country, as good and faithful subjects of their majesties, it behoves us, by every tie that endears us to our friends, to come forward and co-operate with our brethren in the glorious struggle of rescuing from the iron grasp of a foreign despot, that country which has till lately been the admiration and wonder of surrounding nations.
DR. F. A. PEREDO. White Hall Street, No. 26.
FROM THE PHILADELPHIA GAZETTE.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
To relieve our readers, in the present languid state of foreign news and the barrenness of domestic incidents, we take the liberty of carrying them forward to the 2d week in November, 1808. At this period the collective wisdom of the United States will have been assembled at the city of Washington; and as the deliberations of this enlightened assemblage must derive their tone and acumen from the communication of the executive, we will suppose the following to be delivered to both houses of Congress by the secretary Mr. Coles:
THE MESSAGE.
ON the eve, fellow-citizens, of terminating my official duties in the administration of our beloved country, it is with heartfelt satisfaction I congratulate you on the present prosperous and happy condition of the nation—Providence, with a lavish hand, has heaped upon us numerous natural, physical and political benefits—He has blessed our harvests with abundance. Our extended cities have been favored with continued health; and our citizens exempted from the afflictions of the old world, are happy in the exercise of all the inestimable privileges of civil and religious liberty. Pursuing in their own way their own interests, the government may look, with unfeigned confidence, to the intelligent mass of the people for full and unqualified support to all their measures of wisdom and justice.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary claims upon the treasury, growing out of the necessity we experienced of providing for the public defence, you will be happy to observe, by the documents herewith communicated, that the revenue of the present year is more than commensurate to the actual disbursements; and that a reasonable hope remains that the outstanding sums, accruing to the treasury, will provide a handsome surplusage, subject to your appropriation, to meet any unforeseen contingency. In addition to which, the statements from the treasury department, also herewith communicated, exhibit a remaining balance of thirteen millions of dollars still unappropriated.
Turning from these scenes of interior prosperity and happiness, it would afford proportionate satisfaction, if, fellow-citizens, I could announce to you, that in other portions of the globe, the reign of reason and right was beginning to be restored. Situated as we are—fellow-members of the earth's vast community—it is impossible that we should remain insensible to the events of the old world. As friends to humanity, we must sympathise with the oppressed, and rejoice with those who rejoice.
The occurrences in Europe, recently unfolded, are of a nature to excite unusual sensibility in all intelligent minds. From Spain, once an independent and warlike nation, but now sunk into nonentity by her own imbecility, our advices though not official, warrant no other conclusion than this, viz: that notwithstanding the temporary resistance of a misguided and infatuated populace, the correcting and ameliorating hand of the MASTER-SPIRIT of Europe will finally succeed in restoring a debased people to the benignant sway of reason. The destiny of Spain is in the hands of him who
has already conducted many other slumbering nations to a proper sense of the rights of civilized man; and we may safely indulge the hope, that under his mild and philosophical auspices, she will ultimately be elevated to her natural and just rank among independent nations.
It would afford me inconceivable satisfaction, fellow-citizens, were I able to lay before you at the present eventful period, any authenticated evidence of a disposition on the part of the belligerents of Europe, to respect our fair neutral commerce. Our relations with the emperor of France, we have strong reasons for believing, are in a favorable progress of adjustment. He has (tho' his agent appointed to preside over the congress of Spain) lately given us an unquestionable demonstration of good-will, by ordering the release of all American property sequestered in Spanish ports. Added to this, the recent communications from our distinguished fellow-citizen residing near the court of St. Cloud, are of a most conciliatory and encouraging nature.
From the other belligerent power, I regret to inform you, we have not experienced a correspondent disposition. That ill-advised and ill-fated nation still persists in haughtily resisting our claims on its honor, its justice, and its reputation. Our appeals to her lofty sense of right, have been repeated in a tone of becoming firmness; but to all our demonstrations of forbearance, she has returned contumelious silence, or required humiliating concessions. As if she conceived herself the arbitress of nations, and bore exclusively the sceptre of both earth and ocean, she listens to our complaints with the ear of indifference, and speaks to our demands with the tongue of inflated insolence. Thus disappointed in our reasonable expectations of extorting justice from this intoxicated sorceress, it will afford you unfeigned satisfaction to reflect, that, through the wise and dignified measure of the last session, if persevered in with becoming energy, you will even yet be able to compel her to respect our rights and cultivate our friendship. That salutary and well-timed measure, is already either starving or depopulating her valuable West India islands; while in the very heart of her empire, her emaciated and destitute subjects are beginning not only to murmur, but to break out into active rebellion. Having made a fair trial of all the arguments of reason and right, without success, we have surely now an indisputable authority for resorting to measures of coercion to bring her back to a sense of justice.
In referring to the measure laying an embargo on our ships, merchandise and seamen, while I rejoice in the happy effects it is daily producing abroad, it is with pain I inform you, that among our own citizens there have been found many so worthless as to attempt to evade its wholesome restrictions. The vigilance of our custom-house officers, added to the zeal of our naval commanders, has however, to a great degree, frustrated these nefarious designs; and the culprits, in every case, have had the penalties of the law rigorously inflicted. Considering this measure of congress as the strongest arm of our negotiations with foreign powers, permit me to recommend to you the expediency of passing a law, declaring every infraction of it, a capital offence. By such a law we shall be enabled to contend equally with those powers who deny us right; and although some of our citizens may have the temerity to hazard their lives in attempts to evade it, we should still have the consolation of reflecting, that those who suffer, had proved themselves unworthy of belonging to a virtuous community.
Adhering strictly to our reasonable measures of defence and retaliation, the discussions on our differences have notwithstanding been carried on, through the medium of permitted vessels, with special messengers, of integrity and talents. We are in daily expectation of the return of one of these vessels. The communications, by her, we may hope, will shed much light on our future prospects—whether of a hostile or pacific character, such portions of them as may not exclusively appertain to the executive, shall be duly communicated for your consideration.
At the close of your last session, the integrity of the army (being intimately connected with that of its commander) had been so violently assailed, as to be viewed with suspicion by the public. Upon the first intimation of such a suspicion, I ordered an inquiry into the conduct of the impeached officer. Anxious that the most rigid examination should be had, particular care was taken to select men, who by their relative standing in the army, could not possibly be suspected of any improper partiality for their chief—the result of this impartial inquiry will be laid before you. To you, fellow-citizens, who know that a soldier's fame is "the immediate jewel of his soul," I need
not attempt to describe the sufferings of the persecuted soldier and patriot. Permit me, however, to suggest, whether some measure ought not to be devised not only to indemnify him for the past, but to secure him from any future attacks of a similar nature.
In the organization of our new army it has been a primary object with me in appointments to secure for the service of the government men of tried patriotism, undoubted courage, known integrity, and attached by birth to the blessings of our country. The senate in reviewing these nominations will have the satisfaction of recognizing in the list, many along side of whom they have fought in the field, or deliberated in the cabinet; and none to whom they would not cheerfully confide the honor of their country in the hour of peril.
Fellow-citizens, an estimate of the appropriations for the ensuing year, will be laid before you by the secretary of the treasury. From the other departments, you will receive every information within their province. With the most fervent wishes for the prosperity of the country, and a solemn determination to co-operate with you in all measures of necessary precaution, and to contribute my humble efforts for the public good, I rely under providence, on your wisdom, energy and prudence, to render the country respectable abroad, and its citizens prosperous and happy.

AFFECTING NARRATIVE.
"MEMEL, April 12, 1808.
Particulars of the loss of the vessel in which lord Royston was drowned.
"On Saturday, the 2d inst. N. S. at 12 o'clock at noon, we sailed from Lisbon with a fair wind, and ice for about two vents only, after which we got into clear water, and from that time we saw no more ice. This fair wind continued for about 24 hours, and carried us within 40 English miles of Carlscrona. The ship began to make a leak the first night, but it was a trifle; the second night however, it increased so much that Messrs. Bayley, Becher, Ranny, Foote and Percyval, who were lying upon hay, were obliged to move to a higher place, but as I lay in my kibitker, the water never touched me till the last night, when I was also obliged to move. When we came within 40 miles of Carlscrona, the wind became direct west and blew a gale; we were several times close to the island of Oland, but could not land on account of the ice; but that would not have prevented our attempting it, had not the captain said that there was no place for anchorage, nor was there a harbour; so we tacked about till the 6th, all the time the pumps going, and all hands baling the ship; but we did not gain on the leak, and had always 4 or 5 feet water in the hold.
"On the 7th inst. at noon Colonel Poller asked the capt. if he thought the ship would stand the sea? He answered, that "It was impossible," whence it would appear, that had Col. P. not put that question, the ship must the next day have foundered with us all.
"Upon receiving that answer from the captain, col. Pollen ordered him immediately to put back, and make the first port (tho' this Memel) and as it blew a gale, and the wind quite fair, we were sure of reaching it early next morning. During the whole of the day and night we were employed in clearing the ship of water, and prevented it exceeding five feet. At 2 o'clock, on the morning of the 7th, we saw the coast, and at four Memel. I immediately went into the hold, opened my desk and took out what money I had there, placing it in the pocket of my kibitker, that I might secure it at a moment's warning, in case of danger; I then locked my desk, and left my servant to put it away.
"When I came upon deck we were close to the bar; I had not been there five minutes, when the ship struck with such violence, that the ladies and children in the cabin, and the passengers in the hold, had just time to reach the deck, when the ship filled with water, and immediately after the rudder was knocked off.
"The women now took refuge in the sailor's cabin on deck, where I also put the children.
"The sea running dreadfully high, were obliged to cut away the mast, to prevent the ship upsetting; the boats were then cut loose and launched, and lord Royston, with four or five others,* jumped into them, but were upset in a moment.
"I determined to take my chance with the women, and followed them into the
* There were, as we learn from a letter from St. Petersburg colonel Pollen, and Messrs. Bayley and Renny.

round house, where I found eleven persons: Mrs. Pollen and three servants; Pereyra, three children, and maid; Pereyra and Focke. All the rest of our dear friends, except those who were lost by getting into the boats, were immediately washed overboard.  Shortly after, the life boat came alongside, and found the captain and three sailors upon the bowsprit, who telling the captain upon the life boat that every one else was washed overboard, it put off, leaving us in the round-house, in water up to the middle.  There was only one dry bed-place, into which we put the children, but Mr. Focke prayed for God's sake we would endure the to go in too, as he could not endure the cold. Mr. Pereyra set upon a chest, and had Mrs. Pollen on his knees; Mrs. Barnes sat on another chest, with her little one at her breast, the water covering the chests.  In order to shew the people on shore that there were still living people on board, it was necessary for some of us to shew ourselves occasionally. Mrs. Pollen's two servants, Anthony and Hearn, and myself, were the only three who would venture out, and one of us did so every quarter of an hour. During this day, the life-boat made four or five attempts to relieve us, but could not come near, on account of the tremendous sea.  That night we all went to prayers, for our enemies, and resigned ourselves to the Almighty.  Next morning, at nine o'clock, Anthony, who was out, gave notice that the life-boat was at the bowsprit. I went with Mrs. Pollen and the youngest child; Mr. P. with great difficulty reached the life boat. I was twice knocked down by the sea, with the child in one arm, but succeeded in keeping fast hold with the other. Finding, however, my strength failing me, I gave the child to Ann (Mrs. B's maid) desiring her to remain where she was till I could send one of the men from the life-boat to take the child. Whether she attempted to follow me or not, I cannot say; but just as I threw myself into the boat, the sailors called out that the woman with the child, and a man, were washed overboard; this man was Hearn, Mrs. Pollen's servant.  The weather too boisterous to permit the boat to remain long where it was; it therefore put off with Mrs. Pollen, her servant Anthony, Mr. Pereyra, and myself.  When we reached the shore, I told the people there were still four living persons on board, viz. Mrs. Barnes, her two children, and the third servant of Mrs. Pollen. They were with difficulty persuaded to return, and succeeded in saving them.  Mr. Focke had died during the night, from cold, in the little bed place before described; the body is now on shore, and is to be burned to morrow, according to directions he gave me about half an hour before his death.  Mr. Pereyra is not expected to survive this day.  Mrs. Barnes is laid up, having had her feet frozen. Mrs. Pollen is tolerable, but, as you can imagine, very low. We were upwards of forty hours without meat or drink, and must have all perished, had we remained six hours longer.  An Estafette has been sent to the king at Koenigsberg. The French consul here is very civil, and has offered to do every thing in his power to assist us, even to write to Paris for passports.  I have lost everything belonging to me, and there is little hope of my recovering anything, as the ship is gone to pieces. Mrs. Barnes saved only a small trunk of children's linen.  The hospitality and attention we poor survivors meet with at this place are beyond expression.  Lost—Lord Royston, and man servant; colonel Pollen, and one man servant; Mrs. Barnes's man servant, maid servant, and young child, Mr. Halliday's servant Thomas D. Barley, Mr. Becher, Mr. Renney; Mr. Focke (died on board,) and Mr. Pereyra (since dead on shore).  Alive—Mrs. Barnes, and two children; Mrs. Pollen, and two servants; Mr. Halliday, captain and three sailors.  BOSTON, August 30.  The Portsmouth Oracle, remarking on the transactions as to boats, &c. passing the fort in Boston harbor, observes:  "It may be said, to the honor of Portsmouth, no such decrees or orders have been put into execution here—and it ought to be said, to the honor of the governor and collector, that they have discovered no disposition in the execution of presidential and treasury orders to invade the rights of the citizen—nor have we heard of any charge of partiality attached to them. But it is well known, the governor returned the president a spirited remonstrance against his
four circular, and FAIRLY POINTED OUT TO HIM THAT IT WAS NOT AUTHORIZED BY LAW. Had all his friends been as independent, we should not now have been smarting under the oppressions of an unconstitutional and ruinous embargo."  The expense of the navy yard at Portsmouth under Adams' administration, amounted to only 450—under Mr. Jefferson to one thousand nine hundred and fifty dollars per ann. (Oracle.)  The Oracle says, the navy agent at Portsmouth has 1200 dollars a year for doing what a man of common talents could do in 12 days; and now he has in addition an agency in fortifications, which produces him perhaps at the rate of 1000 or 1500 more. The collectors are required to make returns of their losses in fees by the embargo; that they may be indemnified. But who will indemnify the people?  Alexandria Daily Gazette.  WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7.  TO-MORROW being recommended as a day of Fasting and Prayer, this paper will not be published till Friday.  New-Hampshire Election.  The returns from 51 towns give for the Federal ticket 4938—Democratic 3622.—The same towns in 1804 gave Fed. 3699—Democratic 3241.  AGREABLE INTELLIGENCE.  We last evening received the following letters from Providence.  "Aug. 31, 8 o'clock A. M.  "MESSRS. RUSSEL & CUTLER,  "IT IS with extreme pleasure that I am enabled to inform you of the success of our election. It took place yesterday throughout the state. The votes in this town were 494 federal, and 144 democratic. In the whole of Providence county, the neat gain is 147. As an even balance in this county was considered the test by which the result of the whole returns might be ascertained, we consider our triumph as certain."  "10 o'clock, A. M.  "Intelligence has just come in from other counties, which make it positive that the federal ticket has prevailed."  ANOTHER LETTER.  MESSRS. RUSSEL & CUTLER,  "THE federal ticket has certainly prevailed in Rhode Island, by a very handsome majority. This you may announce with confidence, in your Gazette."  We are assured, by a gentleman, who has lately passed through the principal towns in Vermont, that no apprehensions are entertained of the success of the approaching congressional election in that state; that the inhabitants have smarted so severely under the lash of embargo regulations, that it is difficult to find an individual who is not prepared to go any lengths, or to adopt any measures rather than submit to the prudent and economical restrictions under which they are now perishing.  (Bost. Gaz.)  Wednesday Evening 11 o'clock.  A gentleman has just arrived in town from Portsmouth, N. H. who furnishes us with a list of returns of votes for 50 towns for representatives, of that state, some of which are included in the above statement, and others which were considered very democratic. These returns compare with the election of governor in 1805, when the democratic ticket prevailed in that state, by a majority of 3751.  The list stands thus:    1805  1805  1808  1808    Fed.  Dem.  Fed.  Dem.    3495  5663  4613  4262    Leaving a net gain of 2523, in the above towns.  Bets were made yesterday (Wednesday) at Portsmouth, that the federal ticket would prevail by 4000 majority.  (Ibid.)  We have seen a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability in the centre of New Hampshire, which observes, that the majority of the federal votes in that State, will exceed 2000. This estimate is made from the returns of about 25 towns in the Eastern quarter, which were considered the most desperate, and which unexpectedly make the federal increase beyond the votes of 1804 about 700—to this number may be added the federal gain in the towns above mentioned. The federal majority in 1804, was 800.  [Ibid.]  A Boston paper in mentioning the late arrivals at Newburyport, from the Labradore
with the aggregate of Fish taken by these arrived and left, makes the whole amount to one million three hundred and twenty three thousand fish! and adds,—"These cargoes, should the embargo continue will be a great acquisition to our farmers, as they will furnish excellent manure. Were the "Ograhme," raised, every ounce of the above fish—and other American produce to the prodigious amount of Sixty Millions of Dollars, could be exported to good markets; and be insured for a less premium than was given a few years since. We challenge all the Embargorons in the U. S. to disprove an iota of these facts."  A RECEIPT.  To restore motion to a contracted joint.  Take the yolk of eggs, from which the whole of the white has been carefully extracted, add one tea-spoonfull of running water, to each yolk, well beat up; then make a decoction of three kinds of bitter herbs, well boiled; if the contraction be in an arm or leg, dip a piece of flannel in the decoction, and lay it on the part affected, and as soon as it cools have another piece ready to apply, repeating it four or five times successively, and as the pores are open apply the egg plentifully and then tie it up with a linen cloth. This process must be repeated two or three times a day, which will, with divine permission, perform a radical restoration of the joint; in some instance weeks close application has proved effectual, and in others it has required twelve.  The writer of the above, having met with a violent accident some time hence, of a compound fracture in his leg, which had nearly cost his life, by a mortification, he was compelled to lay ten weeks in one position with his leg, which had so drawn up his sinews under his knee, that the capula or knee pan, sunk downwards, and prevented his foot from touching the ground, by near a foot; the physicians could find no remedy, and he was given up as incurable. He then tried many experiments, without effect, until by accident he found in a magazine the part above mentioned concerning the egg, to which he added the fumigation, and in six weeks his leg was happily restored to perfect use. Since which four other persons, who had limbs in the same contracted state have followed his directions, and have had the use of their limbs perfectly restored. As he looks up with sincere gratitude, to a kind Providence for so essential a favor, he thinks it a duty incumbent on him to make it known, for the benefit of mankind, and subscribes himself  PHILANTHROPUS.  "Equal and exact justice to all nations."  The editor of the New York Evening Post declares that a few days since he heard a democrat high in the confidence of the executive, say, it was his opinion that at the opening of the next session of congress war would be declared against Great Britain, or a non-intercourse bill passed, making it treason even to correspond with the subjects of that nation.  The late camp meetings on the Eastern Shore have met with abundant success. At Bohemia, we are told, one hundred became converted. The proselytes are mostly of the old church, which is said to be nearly extinct in that quarter.  (Balt. North American.)  HEMP. —We learn that a sort of Hemp has been produced in General Christophe's provinces in St. Domingo, very little inferior to the best Russian Hemp. The English government is said to have made an experiment upon both kinds, and have found that the Russian hemp did not exceed that grown in the Haytian dominions in point of strength by more than one eighth. A great extent of country around Cape Francois, will be sown next season, for the use of the British nation.  Quebec Gazette.  NOTICE.

To Religious Denominations in general, but to the METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH in particular.
PROSPECTUS
OF A WEEKLY PUBLICATION, TO BE ENTITLED THE RELIGIOUS REPOSITORY.
BY W. A. RIND,
Georgetown, Dist. of Columbia.
THE Editor begs leave to offer this Work to the attention and patronage of the Methodist Society in particular, not only because it is thought proper to give it a decided character, but because the Connexion at present have no religious vehicle of the kind, nor have they had since the discontinuance of their Magazine, which was published some years ago.
Both the Presbyterians and Episcopalians have under their patronage monthly publications devoted to the same subjects proposed to be embraced by this work.
The Editor, however, flatters himself that this publication will possess some advantages over those that are only issued monthly, in furnishing earlier religious intelligence, and he hopes it will afford greater satisfaction to Readers in general, as in such works the same subjects and accounts are continued in a series of numbers.
But since this work is to be devoted to the interest of religion, both in its doctrine and experience, and will likewise include the subject of morality, we think it entitled to the greater attention; and we wish it to be distinctly understood, that as it has for its object the diffusion of religious information, the subject of POLITICS will not be introduced.
In the scriptural sense of the term, RELIGION embraces not only what we are to believe, but more especially what we must experience of its great truths in our hearts—MORALITY implies not only that men should do no harm, but that they should be actively and zealously engaged in acts of benevolence and works of righteousness. It would then appear that Religion consists in what we believe and experience, and Morality in that Faith and Experience reduced into practice. True Religion and Morality go hand in hand, and mutually support each other: Where there is not Morality, there cannot be Religion, and we are disposed to think likewise that there cannot be genuine Morality without Religion. Instead then of drawing our ideas of Morality from principles founded on natural right, let us look to a higher source—to RELIGION—and to that Religion taught by our Lord Jesus Christ. RELIGION alone has power to persuade with celerity, because it excites passion while it informs the understanding—because it alone has the means of rendering obvious what it recommends—because it speaks in the Name of GOD, and it is easy to inspire respect for him whose power is every where evident to the eyes of the simple and discerning—to the eyes of children, and men of mature understanding.
It will be expected that the religious part of the Community in particular will patronize a publication of this kind. It claims the attention and support of religious denominations of all descriptions, not only as subscribers, but as contributors of Essays and Communications on the subjects it proposes to embrace. Almost every political publication has met with generous patronage—and to such, religious characters have not failed to contribute their part. But while they have thus aided in diffusing political information, they will not surely reflect on their profession, by withholding from this their influence and support.
But we think this work forcibly recommends itself to the attention of the enlightened Politician. That man does not deserve the name of Politician, who is unconscious of the influence of Religion and Morality upon the good government and happiness of society. Weak, indeed, are the restraints of human laws, and honor, unaided by the obligations and precepts of Religion, upon the ambition and avarice of wicked men. Without the influence of Religion, these passions may be expected to triumph over the law and every principle of justice.
The "Religious Repository" will be a collection of original and well selected pieces on Religion and Morality, and will serve likewise to record the revivals of Religion, particularly at Camp-Meetings, and also to preserve a short account of the Lives, Sayings, and Deaths, of eminently pious Characters—and thus shall we "gather up the fragments, and nothing will be lost."
In addition it will contain select and original pieces of Natural History, together with instructive and pleasing Anecdotes.
The Editor has already engaged the assistance of his religious friends, as well of the Ministry as others; and he particularly requests the Travelling and Local Preachers of the Connexion to forward to him, from time to time, such Communications as may be embraced within the general objects of the work.

FOR SALE,
READY SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Machodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattox Bridge. The situation is healthy, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improvements alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for building and occasional repairs, a plentiful supply of fire wood and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses.
The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished, with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—to which are annexed a well laid off productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.
Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved.
In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Negroes my Plantation utensils, some Household and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foal-getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchasers own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHAPIN, esq. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
