We recommend the following well-written communication to the attention of the reader.—Editor Citizen.
To the Editor of the Citizen.
When the embargo was first laid on our vessels, the measure had my most hearty approbation. I thought it was a prudent step, and that the administration would justly have received censure if such step had not been taken. The situation of our foreign affairs called upon us loudly to look to ourselves, and the embargo as a saving measure was deemed wise and prudent. The federal party, thro' the United States, recommended it; and indeed all parties united in believing that it was expedient to resort to it. If the embargo had not been laid, and many captures had followed, the party in opposition to the administration might have urged with considerable point that Congress had failed in their duty, and that being aware of our foreign relations, they should have protected us. Congress, in the plenitude of their zeal to serve "a master spirit," and to do more than good sense would justly, made the embargo, without reference to the ultimate good of the country, a perpetual instead of a limited one. From this unadvised and imprudent procedure much mischief has ensued. If the embargo had been limited our property and seamen would have been preserved, and this should have been the stopping point. As a measure of coercion it is feeble and inadequate. Foreign powers think so; and America by her recent elections, believes it to be so. As soon as our property and seamen were safe, the embargo should have been lifted. The administration would then have acquired additional popularity, and the rock on which it stood would have become more massive and impenetrable.—The invective genius of federalism would have been checked, and the proud column of republicanism might have been assailed, but it would have been assailed but by the feebleness of infancy. A strong arm is now raised against it—its base already begins to totter—the weapon of destruction has been forged by ourselves and put into the hands of the enemy, and nothing but a retrograde motion on our part can save it from crumbling into fragments. If the embargo had been raised three months ago, congress might have addressed such language as this to our citizens.—We have done every thing for you that wisdom suggested—your property is now safe in our sea-ports—the embargo has produced these effects. If you should be indiscreet enough to part with it and to take your chance upon the ocean, do so; but trouble us not with your complaints; for if you should have any we will not heed them; we have done our duty to you, and you must now do your duty to yourselves.—What rational complaint against government could in such case have existed?—How towering, how elevated we should have stood as a party, at the head of which Mr. Jefferson would have shewn with encrusted splendor. No man would have questioned his wisdom or have arraigned his understanding. Jefferson and political sagacity would have been synonymous terms. But the fiend theory , with her thousand illusions, made war upon the sage of Monticello. The wishing of manufactures shut up all the avenues to his good sense and understanding. 'Tis owing to this that America has declared war against America. 'Tis owing to this that ruin is beginning to enter our doors, and like mid-dew to blast our once golden hopes. 'Tis owing to this that our citizens in many places have continued to resist the laws of their country. 'Tis owing to this that the heart of federalism is replenished with fresh blood, and that its motions become quicker. 'Tis owing to this that republicanism is getting into discredit. In fine, 'tis owing to this that woes multiply upon woes in such rapid succession, that tears of blood are now dropping from the once fair face of America. The mantle that Mr. Jefferson is thus to leave behind him is destined by certain individuals to fall upon the shoulders of Mr. Madison—another son of vision and illusion. The practical George Glinton, the sage, the hero, THE HOPE OF AMERICA; the friend of commerce, the protector of the arts, the friend of the farmer and the mechanic, the enemy of all foreign influence—the Centinel of the Constitution, and the rallying point of Republicanism, is to be trodden under foot to make way for James Madison—to make way for manufactures at the expence of the farmer, the ship owner, and the true interest of the nation. Can such things be? Americans, I repeat, can such things be, and can you acquiesce?
BELLISARIUS.
PORTUGAL.
(EXTRACT OF A LETTER.)
Oporto, July 4.
I perceive the anxiety of your mind respecting our situation at Oporto, and I will do every thing in my power to tranquilize it. Others will contribute to the same purpose, but none with more eagerness or interest than myself. In fact our situation is quite changed, as I already announced to you in my former letters of the 19th and 21st; and I hope that Heaven will confound the pride of the impious Napoleon, that monster who delights in blood and carnage, in fine, that scourge of the human race. God considered the consternation of Portugal and Spain, and perhaps of all the world, caused by that execrable man, and I hope will protect us. Do not expect any method or order in my letter; I follow my own ideas; but you may rely upon the veracity of what I state to you.
After the imprisonment of the governor Francis Quesner, by the Spaniards, when they went away, we were left behind under the protection of the magistrates, who we expected, would pursue the same mode of conduct; or, to speak more properly would imitate the example of Spain, with which it was their duty to make common cause; but in this we were disappointed. These pusillanimous beings, who, for the greater part, were sold to iniquity, continued to govern us in the French manner. The true Portuguese, of which there are a great many, murmured in secret, and shewed their dissatisfaction in all possible shapes, but did not dare to declare themselves openly.—There were here 400 artillerymen of the regiment of Vienna; but not being sufficiently numerous to garrison the town, castles, &c. they called out two-thirds of the auxiliaries, who entered upon the service with some reluctance, because it was not in the name of the prince.
Holy Thursday at length arrived, and the governor gave orders, according to custom, to the auxiliaries to follow the procession, but without their colors, as they bore the arms of Portugal. The chief officers answered that without these they would not parade, and, in consequence, there was only one company in the procession. The murmurs of the people strongly spoke their feelings. The governor, a weak and timid man, importuned by the French and their partisans, having no will of his own, followed the perfidious councils of these persons, and far from availing himself of the excellent disposition of the people to destroy their energy, representing to them the approach of the French troops, who, though their force was small and contemptible, he described in the same terrific colors that Virgil does the Dolphins and Myrmidons. To this was added threats of the guillotine, fusillades, &c. threats which other wretches arrogantly and insulting circulated.
On the 18th intelligence was received that 2000 French soldiers were to arrive on the following day, and, in confirmation of it the governor ordered carts to be prepared to convey provisions to them at Ovaleira das Ameyas, where it was reported they were to halt for the night. At six in the evening of the same day an inferior officer arrived. Seeing the carts loading, he indignantly exclaimed, "that to the French he should send powder and ball." In consequence of this a number of persons immediately collected, and prevented the carts from setting off, and the officer pledged himself to them that they should be assisted by his comrades. He immediately went to the barracks at Lapa, and the soldiers assembling, with a sufficiency of artillery, advanced to the square of Oviedo. The same officer, mounted on horseback, displayed the ensign bearing the Portuguese arms, and in a loud voice and with great energy and dignity exclaimed, "Long live the Prince Regent!" One might say that the men sprang out of the earth, since thousands joined in the cry and reiterated the same expression.—The soldiers marched with speed to the banks of the river, and planted artillery to prevent the entrance of the French.
The auxiliaries ran to arms, the drums beat, the bells were rung, the doors of the magazine were broke open, the people flocked there to take arms, and in a moment the whole city was in a condition to defend itself against an army. Picture to your imagination what a sight this was, and consider that in the midst of all the confusion incidental to a people in such a state of commotion there was not a single drop of blood spilt, not a house burned, nor any carnage. The only object in view was to prevent the entrance of a hostile force, to secure the persons of such Frenchmen as were in the town, who took care to conceal themselves, considering this tumult as temporary.
Raymundo then appeared, having been concealed since he fled from the castle of Foz, where he had been confined, and took upon himself the command of a part of the new town. On Sunday the 19th, a council was assembled in haste to form a provisional government. They sent for the bishop to attend the meeting, but he being indisposed, it was agreed that the council should adjourn to his palace.
It is not possible for me to express to you how the martial spirit diffused itself. Even women forgot the natural timidity of their sex, and took up arms. Mothers put arms into the hands of their sons, sisters into those of their brothers. There is no person who is not willing to assist in defending his religion and country. Every man is a soldier, and every soldier is an host in himself. Such is the force of enthusiasm.—The misfortune is, that having so many arms, we have no officers to direct them; if there were, there is nothing which we could not effect.
As the vessels are about to sail, I have not now time to observe upon what I have seen, which appears to me in fact, like a dream.
On the 26th fifty heroes of Austerlitz, were brought here, who were sent us from Coimbra, where they were seized by the students and inhabitants. To make sure of them, they bound them to each other with cords.
On the 27th another scene more striking occurred. Forty French, who resided here, were conveyed from prison to a vessel, which carried them to the English squadron. Thus we get rid of the French; but when shall we get rid of the rascals who are in their interest?
Luis Oliveira was brought here from St. Theriso, where he was arrested, put into the common gaol, and afterwards sent to the castle of Foz, with other suspected persons.
The provinces of Minho, Tras dos Montes, and all Beira follow our example. We are anxious to know what passes at Lisbon, with which our communication is cut off.
Two thousand five hundred Frenchmen commanded by gen. Loison, were advancing to this place. This furious and sanguinary man, it is reported, intended to make a dreadful example of the inhabitants of this city, on account of the joy manifested by them, when the Spaniards seized Quesner, the French commandant, but on his arrival at Megas Frio from Almeida, being informed of what had taken place, he retreated to Lamego, where he committed dreadful carnage.
JULY 5.—Yesterday a plot of a counter revolution was discovered. In it were concerned two of those who showed themselves most zealous at first. Luis Paulini, who was also concerned in it, or suspected of being so, was arrested to day. A junta of the supreme government was held, and in all their acts the greatest dignity, zeal, and circumspection were apparent. From Lisbon we hear nothing since the communication is entirely cut off. It is reported that Junot is encroaching himself, but it is certain that the whole kingdom of Algarve has shaken off the yoke which oppressed it. How different is the appearance of Oporto, joy beaming in every countenance, from what it was a few days ago.
JULY 6.—Since you left this place a plot has been discovered, which was laid to effect a complete counter revolution; the principals of which, Luiz Candido, brigadier of engineers; Mauricio Maris, captain of artillery; one cadet of the legion, and another lieutenant of artillery, have been arrested; and in general all the artillerymen have been disarmed. The plan of these traitors has not yet transpired: thus much, however, is known that they had a secret understanding with the French; and that, in order to effect their purpose, the garrison of Armedia had been joined by some troops from Lamego, and actually entered Taroca, a few miles from Lamego, to the number of 4000 men, with 12 pieces of cannon, in their way to this city. It is stated that all the artillerymen were bribed, and that many of the first gentlemen of this city were implicated in this conspiracy. The 5th of July was the day appointed for its explosion, when a great deal of blood would have been spilt here if no discovery had been made. The people are greatly exasperated, and justly so—they call for vengeance.
A great many fidalgos (or gentlemen) will have to march to prison, and we expect great and sanguinary scenes.
Luis Paulini was also arrested yesterday. I feel much regret for his unfortunate family, and would have gone to see them since, if I did not think it would be venturing too much for the present, as the smallest suspicion leads to imprisonment. I shall state further in my next.
JULY 3.—Spain gave us the example which was immediately followed by the province of Tras dos Montes. Oporto did not delay long after. Beira imitated them, and Algarve did the same on St. John's day on which they massacred all the French whom they met, and their perfidious agents. Lisbon remains to be re-conquered, where Junot still commands; but his proximity to the Spanish troops, who are advancing to besiege him.
We had hardly shaken off the yoke of oppression, when we were on the point of being destroyed. Some perverse spirit who had sold themselves to iniquity, formed a plot to plunge us into the chaos, and to reduce the town to ashes, in order to raise themselves upon its ruins. They had planned to destroy the existing government, which could not have been effected without much blood and slaughter. Providence saved us. The conspiracy was discovered, the conspirators were arrested, and their trials will commence immediately. We are not acquainted with their accomplices, I shall therefore not give their names. Luis Paulini, however, is one of them, you recollect the name of such a fellow—Manuel Felez, procurator of the city, was also arrested yesterday, on account of his bad conduct, and conveyed to prison amidst a thousand insults of fish-women and men.
This day an English brig of war entered the river, and came up as far as the bridge, where there was already a Portuguese armed vessel to defend the town. We have a regiment of ecclesiastics, with their colors, drums and music. Friars and cannons mixed with soldiers, mount the bishop's guard. The familiars of the holy office dressed in regimentals, with their abbot at their head.
SANTIAGO, July 4.
Some dreaming and discontented people have not approved of the sarcasms introduced into the journals of this city. Do not know that Greece, distinguished for amenity, and other enlightened nations usefully employed the weapon of satire to render tyrants contemptible and to expose their perfidy. The contracted limits of our paper do not allow us to state at length the beneficial effects of irony, which is often more efficacious than elaborate declamation. Odious characters should be examined on all sides, and the ridiculous as well as the detestable phrases they present should be exhibited. Many artists have painted the actions of Bonaparte and his satellites in their native blackness; but is there nothing much of the comic, as well as the serious, in the circumstances under which these upstarts appear? At one time we see sycophants murdering the nobility and the clergy, at the head of the aristocracy. They affect to discover aristocrats engaged in the administration, in the affairs of commerce, and in the concerns of the arts, only for the purpose of devouring the wealth of the parties; and having established sycophantism in France on thousands of dead bodies, gored with blood, and pounded to dust, they extended their principles to the rest of Europe; they erected jacobin republics on the ruins of the ancient thrones of their princes; and now that they find themselves powerful with the booty they have plundered from the surrounding nations, they revive again the titular distinctions they had destroyed, and call themselves emperors, kings, princes, dukes, counts, majesties, highnesses, and excellencies.
Who can avoid laughing at the monkey who arrays himself in the silken vestments of which he has pillaged the warehouse; the ass who has clothed himself in the lion's skin; at the jackdaw who adorned himself with the peacock's feathers! And is it not more ridiculous to see a waiter, a cook, a swabber, a publican, a slave escaped from the chains, from the company of corsairs, putting himself in a stately imposing attitude, adjusting his legs to the step of dignity, blistering up , as the Germans express it, and arranging his bands, collars and embroidery; in addition to this, affecting a grave and measured procedure, and demanding the admiration of the magnificent figures around him, under pain of the gallows or the guillotine!
What a wonderful alteration has been produced—what a difference between the high-spirited gallantry, the honor, generosity and learning of the French noblesse, with which the armies of that country were supplied, and these galley-labourers, these ignorant brutes and ferocious rascals, whose hands you are obliged to watch, lest they should steal your handkerchief or your snuff-box! True it is that a lofty pride domineered in the breast of the ancient nobility of France; but to this pride they were indebted for the dignity of their conduct. They could not condescend to the degrade .

tion and infamy of the scum of the people, the effluvia of society, the pick-pockets, the slaves, the Bonapartes, the Murats, and the Junots. Countrymen! in the midst of the horrors which these usurpers occasion, is it not allowable to find alleviation in a momentary smile at this obscenity and prostitution of rank? It is impossible that they themselves should restrain their laughter at their own absurdities; at the metamorphosis of their filthy rags into the imperial purple, and in receiving from each other those mutual ceremonies, suited to the farce of a carnival, and the nonsense of a masquerade: at least, if they do not laugh it must be because atrocity and cheerfulness are utter strangers.
clamation of the junta there, in favor of the American vessels and property detained at Algeziras, and in the other ports of Spain, within their jurisdiction, under the famous decrees of Bonaparte; his efforts were aided by Wm. Kirkpatrick, Esq. American consul at Malaga, and the impropriety and impolicy of the measure being fully pointed out, an order was obtained from the junta, annulling the decree in toto, and directing the restoration of said vessels and cargoes. Considerable delay was, however, occasioned, and its execution to this day retarded by a most extraordinary circumstance.
From the Connecticut Herald.
A THOUGHT.—When I rove across the broad Atlantic, I pourtray to my imagination fair Europa, vehemently exclaiming to the execrable Napoleon—
"O thou vile Corsican! To liberty, to virtue, a perfidious traitor. Arch-enemy to the peace and to the happiness of the globe; like the destructive elements, raging without control, you range over the nations of the earth, dashing in pieces ancient kingdoms and powerful states, and threaten to prostrate the world.
"Were your body in proportion to your ambition, your left hand would extend to the east, your right to where the sun hides himself. Unbounded ambition is allied with universal ruin, you are violating and prostrating all the invaluable rights of man—You acquire power but to oppress—Your victories are but the triumphs of blood—Your emissaries, your assassins, your executioners, are spread over the globe—They caress, deceive, defraud, destroy innocent millions!
"To cover the extent and hide the enormities of your crimes, you have assumed the title of "emperor and king." To beguile and oppress, you are proclaimed—"protector and defender," of the oppressed and injured. But you have covered yourself with infamy and the world with mourning. Alas! I deeply mourn the fate of my dominions, the plains of which you have crimsoned with blood! My kingdoms have you overturned—My republics you have annihilated—My subjects you have slaughtered by millions—And millions you are torturing with exorbitant levies, with banishment and famine.
"The fairest portion of the globe you have converted to a mere aceldama—a field of blood—to anarchy and confusion. Art thou satisfied? Ah! say wild monster! art thou satisfied? No: Insatiate, thou art thirsting still for human gore—thy inordinate nature, thy unbounded love of blood will never be satisfied, till thou hast conquered the world, and proclaimed thyself its licentious, unrelenting tyrant. Inhuman wretch! my sages, my heroes are no more—the bravest of my subjects have bled—are butchered, all murdered, and why? Because thou art ambitious, and must have wealth and dominion. My country bleeds—my land is floated with blood of gore! My richest kingdoms, my fairest countries, my towns, my cities, swim in blood—and thro' all my ample domain, one tremendous groan, the groan of millions, echoes to the heavens!
"Some dreadful curse, weighty as stupendous mountains, and worthy of Omnipotence, is ready to burst upon thy devoted head, and upon the head of infatuated France, thine accomplice in guilt!
"The most illustrious of patriots, Alfred and Washington, loved Virtue. Why?—Because virtue is lovely! They also loved Justice—sacred Justice! Why?—Because it is an attribute of God, and ought to be revered as the polar star of every human being, and to be caressed by all Kings and Emperors as their guardian angel.
"But as you are in love with the vilest opposites, your name will be doomed to eternal infamy. Heaven will never be your accomplice in guilt. However you may succeed in scourging the human race, depend upon it, awful vengeance awaits you in your turn!
"For a time you may do according to your will—you may speak marvellous things—you may magnify and exalt yourself above your Creator, till his indignation be accomplished—for that which is determined shall be done. You may disregard the God of your fathers, and honor the God of forces with gold and silver—with precious stones and pleasing things—and may rule over many nations with great power and pride—yet you shall come to your end, and none shall help you.
"The wealth of ancient monarchies, and even the temples of my God, have you robbed and despoiled! Innocence and virtue have you trampled under foot, and have violently wrenched from the widow and the fatherless their daily support. Yea, the liberties of France, Holland, Switzerland, Prussia, Poland, Portugal, Spain, have you
treacherously usurped—nothing can check your insatiable ambition but the universal extension of your lawless tyranny over the empire of man.
"Under the specious garb of friendship did you enter Spain, and with a degree of perfidy unrecorded in the annals of nations have you seized upon that ancient monarchy—have wrested the crown from the head of majesty, and have dragged him with the royal family into captivity and exile. You proclaim freedom and fraternal protection—and in the moment of your embrace, you rivet the galling chains of slavery! You promise like a God, but execute like a demon. You tender the blessings of a powerful and generous monarch, but bestow the curses of a Bonaparte. By rapine and murder, through scenes of plunder and seas of blood, are you raised to the zenith of your guilt.
"The crowns which have been transmitted from father to son in just succession, have you wantonly placed on the heads of impious strangers, and call the world your own. Dearly have you purchased it. Know, thou guilty tyrant, that when the just God hears the cries of your murdered millions, and demands of you the lives you have slain—know, I say, that extorted gold will never pay their price! Nor will it ever pay your ransom! As well may a drop vie with the ocean—finite compare with infinite!
"Be astonished, O ye heavens! Ye sons of earth, be horribly afraid! For a creature exalts himself above his Creator! A violent worm dares the thunders of the Eternal!
"There will be an end to your wretched career, O ye fountain of crimes! That body which now is the Idol you worship, and which you would fain cause to be the worshipped God of your conquered world, will soon be a loathsome carcase, unless the wolf and the vulture should make it their prey!
"Alas, your affrighted soul! That work of iniquity must be summoned to the bar of Jehovah's justice to receive its mountainous weight of eternal woe."

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER, SEPTEMBER 24.
It is said in a late London paper, that the Lords of the Admiralty have determined to try a new plan for the increase of seamen to man the navy. It is to raise 5000 boys, for which a guinea bounty is to be offered. They are to be divided into three classes: From 12 years old to 14, to receive seven guineas a year wages; from 14 to 16, nine guineas a year; from 16 to 18, eleven guineas a year. This plan has been approved, and is to be adopted with all convenient speed.
By the arrival of the ship Traveller, captain R. Ward, at Salem, in 117 days from Calcutta, India papers to the 9th of May have been received by the editor of the Salem Register. Letters received at Bombay dated Bussorah, 18th March, state that admiral Pellew reached Bombay 11th April. The absence of the admiral from the Calcutta station was regretted, and by some even censured; but as no public account was given of the movements on the Persian Gulf, the reasons for his conduct could not be sufficiently known for a correct judgment of his disposition of his fleet. Accounts from Canton to the 14th March, state, in consequence of the rich captures made by the enemy, the country ships were not permitted to sail without convoy. The Ladrone had become very troublesome to the coasting trade. The English were surveying the Pannais dangerous shoals, in the navigation of the Chinese seas. The French frigate la Cannonier, of 50 guns, from Acapulco, (on the South West coast of New Spain) with four millions of dollars, had arrived at Manila. On the 15th March the English frigate Terpsichore, of 32 guns, had an action with a ship, which was at first supposed to be the Cannonier, but was not, and which escaped, after having killed the lieutenant of the English ship and 20 men, and 22 wounded. The name of the ship which has escaped, had not been obtained. The English ship Florenzo, of 48 guns, captain Hardinge, with the loss of ten men killed, together with her captain, and 25 wounded, had captured the French frigate La Piedmontaise, of 50 guns and 366 Frenchmen, and 200 Lascars, from the Isle of France, on a cruise. The French had 48 killed, and 112 wounded. The action was in the Gulf of Mombas, in lat. 7, North, and 77, East longitude, between Cape Cormorin and the island of Ceylon. M. Moreau, the second in command of the French ship, fell in the action. The English government in India had paid a proper tribute of respect to the brave captain who fell in this engagement. The accounts of the markets at China, are of the high prices of opium and cotton. The papers say, specie to the amount of one million and an half sterling, was imported on account of the India company. The English were not inattentive to the reports in Europe of an intended invasion of India, and were observing and conciliating the Indian powers.

FOR SALE,
My 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 stock 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 Sta. 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 best 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. CHARIN, esq. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
