Fifteen Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY, from the subscriber, last night, a mulatto man, named ANDREW, sometimes called Andrew Johnson, about 40 years of age, he is a middling bright mulatto, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, spare made, thin face, woolly head, a little inclined to hair, small ear, small eye brows and lashes, thin lips for a person of color, small beard, a pretty high forehead—there are several small spots on the inside of his left arm, and a little above the elbow are two small scars about an inch apart—he is a very smart active fellow, and can do almost any kind of work—he is excessively fond of liquor and will seldom be sober if he can get it, and when drunk is very stupid. He had on when he went away an old short coat and pantaloons of black superfine cloth, an old spotted waistcoat, ozanburg shirt and an old white hat, but as he took other clothes with him he will probably change his dress.
He has a wife at Mrs. Fendall's farm in Fairfax county, about 5 miles from Alexandria, where it is probable he may be harbored by her at night, and skulk about the neighboring woods through the day.
I will give the above reward for delivering the said runaway to me in Alexandria, or even without the counties of Alexandria, Fairfax, and FIVE DOLLARS if taken within either of the said counties.

BATTLE OF THE BALTIC.
BY CAMPBELL.
OF NELSON and the North, Sing the glorious day's renown, When the battle fierce came forth All the might of Denmark's crown, And her arms along the deep proudly shone, By each gun the lighted brand, In a bold determined hand, And the Prince of all the land Led them on—
Like Leviathan's afloat, Lay their bulwark's on the brine, While the sign of the battle flew, On the lofty British line: It was ten of April morn by the chime; As they drifted on their path, There was silence deep as death; And the boldest held his breath, For a time.—
But the might of England flush'd To anticipate the scene; And her van the fleeter rush'd O'er the deadly space between. Hearts of oak, our captain cried; when each gun From its adamantine lips Spread a death-shade round the ships, Like the hurricane eclipse Of the Sun.—
Again! again! again! And the havoc did not slack, Till a feeble cheer the Dane To our cheering sent us back;— Their shots along the deep slowly boom:— Then ceas'd—and all is wail, As they strike the shattered sail; Or, in conflagration pale, Like the gloom.—
Out spoke the victor then, As he hail'd them o'er the wave, 'Ye are brothers! ye are men! 'And we conquer but to save; 'So peace instead of death let us bring; 'But yield, proud foe, thy fleet, 'With the crews at England's feet, 'And make submission meet 'To our King.—
Then Denmark blest our chief, That he gave her wounds repose; And the sounds of joy and grief, From her people wildly rose; As Death withdrew her shades from the day, While the Sun look'd smiling bright O'er a wide and woeful sight, Where the fires of fun'ral light Died away.— Now joy, Old England raise! For the tidings of thy might, By the festal cities' blaze. When the wine cup shines in light; And yet amidst that joy and uproar, Let us think of them that sleep, Full many a fathom deep, By the wild and stormy steep, Elsinore!
Brave hearts! to Britain's pride Once so faithful and so true, On the deck of fame that died— With the gallant good RIOU:— Soft sigh the winds of heav'n o'er their grave! Where the billow mournful rolls, And the Mermaid's song condoles, Singing glory to the souls Of the brave!
* Captain RIOU, justly entitled the gal- lant and the good, by Lord NELSON, when he wrote home his despatches.
HARTFORD, (Conn.) October 16.
On Thursday last, the general assembly of this state met at N. Haven. On Wednesday his honor, lt. gov. Treadwell was met at Hamden, by a number of citizens of New Haven, who accompanied him to that city. At three miles from the town, the govern- or's company of horse guards, commanded by major Munson, received him, and escort- ed him to Clark's tavern. On Thursday the governor's foot guards, commanded by ma- jor Atwater, the horse guards, and the com- pany of artillery, commanded by maj. Sta- ples, escorted the lt. gov. and council to the state house, where the session was opened in the usual manner. The appearance of the troops on this occasion, was very brilli- ant, and gave great satisfaction to a nume- rous collection of people. The guards wore cape as a badge of mourning for his excel- lency gov. Trumbull. The house of repre- sentatives made choice of Lyman Law, speak- er, and Wm. T. Williams, and Noah B. Be- nedict, asqs. clerks.
[His excellency lt. gov. Treadwell then addressed the legislature in a speech of some length; but as it is chiefly local, we shall now publish the following extract:]
"The astonishing revolutions which, in rapid succession, have, of late years, con- vulsed Europe, have given another head to the ancient Western Roman Empire, which exercises a despotism more relentless and bloody, than either of the former; and while we contemplate, with awful reverence the hand of God in these events, it becomes us to stand aloof from the nation which is the chief agent in producing them, & whose policy is to allure only to devour. Most of the embarrassments, which our republic has of late years experienced, have, it is believ- ed, originated in an undue bias in her favor. May the fate of other nations, which she has seduced and conquered, prove a warn- ing to escape her snares, and to cultivate, by honorable means, the proffered friendship of that power which, more than any other, stands between her and universal empire."
NEW-YORK, October 18.
Arrived, ship Sally, Scott, of Boston, 76 days from St. Petersburg, and 43 from Wilde-Wall (Orkneys). Left the ship Bet- sey, McDougall, of New York on the 13th of August, all well, bound for London.— Left at Cronstadt, August 1, ship Gosport, Dirkham, & Leopard, Clarke, nearly ready to load for New-York; ship Hope, Lov- et, beginning to load for Beverly; Juno, Bates, of Boston; Roda and Betsey, Boul- dy, of Norfolk; ship Isabella, Greene, from Gottenburgh, had been near the guard ship, four miles below Cronstadt 12 days, admittance uncertain. During the voyage fell in with many British ships of war, and treated generally with great politeness, par- ticularly by Sir James Saumerez, and all the officers of the ships; they pointed out in the most circumstantial manner, where dangers were to be apprehended, and how to shun Danish and Norwegian pirates.— August 24th left Gottenburgh. The ship Jane, Colley, arrived there about the 20th, who had been boarded two days before near Wingo, by fourteen armed men, who pre- tended to be Swedish fishermen, but were Danish pirates, and took possession of the ship, and steered over to the Danish island Lesson, where they were preparing to an- chor, near two privateers and a battery, and every man having calculated the amount of his prize money, when Captain C. and about a dozen of his brave crew agreed to re-transfer the property to the right owners by attacking and beating the Dane, which was soon accomplished, after receiving se- veral wounds but none dangerous; two of the Danes were missing but none killed.— On the arrival of the Jane at Gottenburgh, the surgeons from the British ships went on board, and tendered their services to the wounded in the most humane manner, and Captain C. was able to walk the deck, hav- ing nearly recovered from his wounds.— August 27, Naize of Norway, N. N. W. twenty leagues, fell in with the ship Endea- vor, Lovett, of Salem, bound to Tonnin- gen, who had that morning been released from Christian Sand, after three months detention, and Captain Lovett favored Cap- tain S. with the annexed list and laws of privateering.

On the 4th of October, to the westward of the Grand Banks, having suffered in severe gales, and obliged to throw the most of her cargo overboard, and leaving 7 feet water in her hold, fell in with the Radius; when the captain and crew de- serted the Eliza, and was humanely taken on board by capt. Farley. Capt. E. Giles, of Beverly, and capt. Lander, of Salem, and his two mates were passengers in the Eliza, who also went on board of the Ra- dius—and have all arrived at this port.— Capt.

DUBLIN, Aug. 23.
French papers to the 5th, and Spanish to the 1st inst. have reached this office, exclu- sively. We have translated such parts of them as appeared interesting, and have present them to our readers. The order of the day, dated Madrid, July 26th, we think eminently entitled to notice. It will be per- ceived that the account, which this order contains, alludes to the driving in of the out posts of the English and Spanish ar- mies; and from the composition and style of this very curious document, it is mani- fest that his most Catholic majesty Joseph, however inferior he may be to his most Christian majesty Napoleon, in all the great requisites of generalship, yet possesses in a high degree those talents for the bombas- tic, for which the illustrious house of Apo- cio hath been long distinguished. "The king continues to pursue the enemy. The result of this brilliant success will be the expulsion of the English, and the termina- tion of the calamities of Spain." We re- quest our readers to compare this

The king continues to pursue the enemy. The result of this brilliant success will be the expulsion of the English, and the termination of the calamities of Spain.
The Governor General of Madrid.
We have accounts from Paris, that Mr. Armstrong, the American ambassador, with his suite, is preparing to quit that city. They are to proceed from the French capital to Holland, from which they are to sail for their native country. War between France and the republic of the United States was considered as inevitable. Such it seems to have been the result of the very cavalier declaration of the Corsican, that he would allow of no neutrality to exist, and that America must make choice of France or England for her enemy. Without any recourse to justice or policy, it is manifest that the power which has the insolence to make such a declaration to a neutral state, is thereby committed the first act of hostility, and should be treated accordingly.
The Irish legion serving under Bonaparte is said to be commanded by a person of the name of O'Meara, and not by Arthur O'Meara, as generally supposed who lives retired about 3 miles from Paris. O'Meara had distinguished himself in several actions, and on the particular recommendation of gen. Clarke, was appointed by Bonaparte to the command of his countrymen.
THE LATE STORM.
Friday night, about nine o'clock, the streets of Glasgow, Greenock, &c. were most brilliantly illuminated by a meteor or ball of fire. Its passage was almost instantaneous, and the appearance was very similar to that which would have been produced by inflaming a quantity of gun-powder at a considerable height.
The following is from a gentleman who was a passenger in one of the London coaches going to Exeter:— "About 8 o'clock on Thursday night, when within two miles of Woodyatt's Inn, on Salsbury Plain, a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning commenced, and lasted, with little intermission, till three o'clock next morning. It is impossible for the pen to describe, or the imagination to paint, any thing so awfully terrific. The earth and atmosphere for some time round seemed one continued volume of liquid fire. Deer and cattle were scattered in every direction along the road; and every thing seemed to portend a total dissolution of the whole system. There were fourteen outside passengers, and six inside, in the coach above alluded to; and just before they reached Woodyatt's Inn, the electric fluid struck a young man on the roof of the coach, and killed him on the spot. He belonged to the Ocean man of war, and had been to visit his friends in London: he was 22 years of age. His comrade, who sat beside him, was injured in the arm. Three of the coach horses were also struck down, and one of them killed on the spot. The coaches, waggons, and every other vehicle, staid at Woodyatt's Inn, being unable to proceed. One gentleman, an inside passenger, had a cotton handkerchief burnt on his head by the lightning."

By an arrival from Holland, there seems no doubt of war taking place between France and America. Gen. Armstrong has reached Amsterdam from Paris, and resided at the house of Mr. Bourne the American consul there; Gen. Armstrong had finally obtained leave of the French government in a diplomatic character, but intended to return to complete some family arrangements.

His B. majesty's ships Ethalia, capt. Cochrane, and Unadilla, capt. Maitland, and two Spanish vessels, with specie, had arrived from Vera Cruz. The port of Havana was SHUT AGAINST ALL NATIONS—there were several American, Danish and British vessels lying off, but were not permitted to enter.
NEW-ORLEANS, September 11.
MORE ORDERS.
On Friday last we published a general order, appointing major Pike to the command of the "capital;" and we now lay before our readers a garrison order of the major commanding, which is merely a link in the great chain of alarms which seems now to be framing.
"GARRISON ORDERS."
New-Orleans, Sept. 4, 1809.
"No citizen is to pass into the garrison by any route, unless passed in by an officer—and it is expected that no gentleman will introduce a stranger, or a man, who from the tenor of his general line of conduct, may be deemed hostile to the government of the United States."
"No citizen, unless holding a commission, civil or military, under the government, is permitted to enter Fort St. Charles, under any pretext whatsoever."
"Z. M. PRIKE,
Major Commandant.
We entertained an idea, when we first read the general order above alluded to, that something like treason was lurking in its train, and our suspicion is now verified by this pretty little appendix to the great colossal fabric which we analyzed on Friday morning. All peaceable, well disposed citizens cannot but admire the caution manifested by the commanding major in compelling the officers of the garrison to keep good company. One difficulty, however, presents itself—How are the officers to distinguish between those who, by the tenor of their general line of conduct, are hostile to the government of the U. S. and those who are not? We would suggest that a list of the enemies of government should be posted on the garrison gate, as well for the convenience of the citizen, as of the officers themselves. Troops have been stationed here since the 20th December, 1803, but this is the first time that a discriminating order has ever been issued.
"There is a last refuge of which we must not lose sight, since we are forced to have recourse to it. France did not sell us like vile herds of slaves! No, Louisianians! I appeal to the treaty of cession. France there guarantees that our liberties should be respected. We shall not again present to the view of the august chief, the arms of sons of Frenchmen loaded with shameful chains, from which that treaty was forever to preserve us. His honor, his dignity, his power, all render it a sacred duty to him to recall the government of the United States to good faith, from which none swerve in the treaties of which he is guarantee."

The above is the language of the editor of the Louisiana Courier, the official paper of Gov. Claiborne, and the one patronized by gen. Wilkinson, his friends and supporters.

Alexandria Daily Gazette.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 23.
The defeat of Wagram has excited the greatest irritation and disorder among the Austrian officers, who blame each other for the misfortunes of that decisive day. Field marshal Hiller has demanded and obtained leave to resign, and general Bellegarde has obtained the same permission, it is said, without having required it.
The following order of the day was published on the day after the battle of Wagram:
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Enzersdorff, July 7.
In the battle of yesterday, the troops of the left wing in no respect answered the expectations which I had a right to cherish respecting them nor the hopes I had formed of the importance of that day considered, from their strong and advantageous position.
The disastrous result of that battle must be ascribed to the conduct of these troops; for as the confusion was generally among them, the retreat was made with too great haste and disorder. I am also, with some exceptions, far from being satisfied with the infantry. Several regiments marched forward too soon, and began to fire without any cause. They were besides so crowded together, that they fired upon one another. The officers were not able to rally the larger bodies, which fled in disorder, and thus ground was lost. The confused cry which was heard among the troops, drowned the voice of the commanding officers.
Had the commanders accustomed their troops to silence, and taught them to attend to nothing but their orders, the separation of the left wing would not have produced such shameful consequences.
In every regiment which shall hereafter conduct itself in a similar manner the tenth man shall be condemned to die, and the rest of the men shall be distributed among the other regiments. The commanding officer shall be cashiered, and the other officers dismissed. Cries of alarm among the soldiers shall be punished with death. The troops must only act when orders are given to them, or on the signal of the drum. In most regiments, the drums are placed
with the music, out of the reach of the fire, but the commanding officers shall see that all the drums return to their posts, and shall take care that the troops under their direction do not fire without orders or at too great a distance.
In the evening of the 5th the regiment of Argenteir made such bad dispositions, that in the unprofitable retreat to Neusidel, the 2d line fired on the first and occasioned great disorder. The regiment of Hesso Nemburg did nothing but wander here and there, sometimes was heard the cry of "forward" where there was no enemy! Gen. Riefe did not conduct himself well at Enzersdorff. On the 6th, in the evening, I did not find him at the head of his troops, and besides, he did not follow the orders which were given him respecting the attack. He shall be dismissed from the service of his majesty.
The disorder which still prevail among the troops, proves that the officers of the staff know not how to apply a remedy. I shall, however, set an example myself. I shall, according to the circumstances, dismiss or cashier such officers of the grand staff, whose troops are not again brought under proper discipline. It is the shame of the army that so many stragglers and plunderers are found on all the roads and in all the villages.
(Signed)
CHARLES, Generalissimo.
A letter from Captain Coit, of the ship Chase, from Hull, to his owner in this city, dated Gottenburg, August 19, says, "I arrived here yesterday, on my way to Geefe. We shall sail as soon as the wind comes fair, with a large fleet under a strong convoy, which is essentially necessary to counteract the activity of the Danish privateers, who are very numerous. There are now here eight hundred sail of shipping bound up and down the Baltic, of whom about 25 are Americans."
(New York paper.)
Latest from Spain.
The brig Corporal Trim, capt. Elwell, arrived at Boston on the 14th inst. in 36 days from Cadiz. He reports that Gen. Cuesta had resigned his commission, and left the Spanish army; that sir Arthur Wellesley was retreating towards Portugal, for the purpose of re-embarking on board a fleet of transports, which was said to have arrived on the coast. Capt. E. did not learn that any battles had been fought ulterior to those already known in this country.
It was also reported at Cadiz, that the cause of sir Arthur Wellesley's falling back toward the sea coast, was the total want of provisions, and not through fear of the enemy; that the Central Supreme Junta had not dissolved; but on the recommendation of the British commander in chief to have the provisional authority of the country placed in the hands of the bishop of Toledo, as Regent, it was expected some change would take place in the government.

LEGHORN, 30, 1809.
The Chamber of Commerce of Porto Ferrajo, has finally condemned the whole of the cargo of the ship Vermont, capt. Lyman, with the trifling exception of 118 bags pimento and 18 puncheons rum, after a tedious litigation of two years.
The interested in her cargo, may see the particulars, by applying to Mr. Wilson.
The Africaine frigate on board of which Mr. Erskine is to embark for England, remains in Hampton Roads. Her departure we understand from good authority depends upon the arrival of Mr. Jackson's despatches from Washington. As she has already remained longer than was expected, it is surmised that Mr. Jackson has commenced his negotiations with our government and detains this ship in order to advise his government of the progress or probable result of those negotiations.
It is said that despatches from our government for Mr. Pinkney, which were sent down to go by the Africaine, have been returned.
