TO RENT,
(And immediate possession given) NEAR THE EXTREMITY OF THE PAVEMENT On Prince-Street.
A TWO-STORY BRICK HOUSE, with an elegant garden, and all necessary buildings thereto, complete. The premises occupy one half acre of ground, on one of the best situations and best constructions, equalled by few, (if any) exceeded by none in Alexandria of its size; it has also a pump of excellent water, approved of by the best judges, besides a well in the garden for its exclusive use, and is every way calculated to accommodate a genteel family, from such a moderate rent will be taken.
Now building and will be ready to RENT about the first of August, FOUR HOUSES, on Washington-street, the situations are good, and the buildings will be very convenient and neatly finished, for private families, or public business—and a House or two, near Messrs. Marsteller and Young's wharf.
Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight ears, from the first of December next, to Jan; which for convenience, it is believed, 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 230 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. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO, The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

The Stages South of Alexandria.
ON the first of October next the Mail Stage will commence running as follows between Alexandria and Petersburg Virginia:
Will leave Alexandria every day at 8 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Dumfries by 5 in the morning—Leave Dumfries at 8 and arrive at Fredericksburg by 11 1-2 in the morning—Leave Fredericksburg at 12 (noon) and arrive at Richmond the next morning by 6—Leave Richmond at 6 1-2 and arrive at Petersburg by 11 1-2 in the morning.
Returning, will leave Petersburg every day at 12 1-2 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria in the same time. This stage will carry no more than 2 passengers on any account whatever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage can be allowed to each passenger.
An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running, at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sundays, and will travel only in the day time.—On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS. PROCLAMATION.
Don Joseph, by the Grace of God, of Spain, Majorca, Minorca, Gibraltar, of the Continent of America, the islands, &c. &c. King, &c. &c.
To the Vice-Roys, captain General, Governors, Corregidores, and to all other officers, civil and military, of whatever denomination; and to all the inhabitants of the Spanish dominions in the West and East Indies, Maketh known, that,
By virtue of the treaties of the 5th and 10th of May last, by which King Charles IV and the princess of his House have formally relinquished all right and title to the crown of Spain, and all the dominions belonging to it, in favour of my dear and august brother, Napoleon the First, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, &c. who hath been graciously pleased to confer the same upon me, on the 4th of the present month, my wishes and my ambition have been to come to Spain, to take upon me the government of the country—to devote myself to the happiness and interest of the people whom Providence has committed to my charge—and to carry into effect the regulations which shall be made by the Junta of the Representatives and Notables of the kingdom; which Junta is assembled at Bayonne, and will be again called together at that place on the 15th inst. in order to take into consideration the means of establishing a just and permanent government, and of placing Spain, with all her exclusive dominions, on a better footing, by securing her independence, and raising her in that rank in the scale of nations which formerly distinguished her, and which her inhabitants are still worthy to possess.
To accomplish this object I have accepted the Crown. I hasten to make this declaration of my paternal solicitude for your happiness, and to assure you that it shall be exerted equally for the good of the remotest parts of my dominions.—Confiding in my royal word, you shall continue to enjoy all your privileges as good subjects. Prosecute your ordinary avocations in peace. Be obedient to your superiors, and guard against the machinations of those who set the laws at defiance. Justice must be administered impartially, and I strictly enjoin all judges and magistrates to comply with my pleasure in this subject. Look up to me as your protector: I shall ever have your interest at heart, and will double my endeavours to defend you from the attack which the implacable enemies of Spain meditate against you.
I enjoin all Archbishops, Bishops, and Ministers of Religion, which I pledge myself to maintain inviolate, to use their influence among the people to make them obedient to the laws, and to guard them against the dangerous consequence of sedition and treason.—I repeat my declaration, that my Government shall be founded on justice and my sole object be the accomplishment of your happiness. All Governors, Judges, &c. are commanded to give the utmost publicity to this proclamation.
I, THE KING. Given at Bayonne, June 11, 1808. By order of the king our most gracious sovereign.
M. JOE. DAZANZA.
LONDON, July 2.
We stopped the press three times, yesterday, to detail the important intelligence from Spain, as it was successively received at our office. The accounts brought by the Paz and the Peacock, the one from Ferrol and the other from Gijon, were given in the whole of our impression. The arrival of lieut. Talbot, of the Encounter gun-brig, and the intelligence which he brought, could only appear in the latter part of the impression of any paper. It was about two o'clock when lieut. Talbot reached the admiralty, with dispatches from admiral Purvis and lieut. gen. Spencer, and at a late hour in the evening the following bulletin, which we now re-publish, was sent to the lord mayor, and posted upon the front of the Mansion-house:
"Downing-street, July 1."
"MY LORD, "I have the honor to acquaint your lordship, that dispatches have been received from major general Spencer, dated off Cadiz, the 6th last month, by which it appears that a negotiation had been entered into between his majesty's naval and military commanders off that port, with deputies appointed on the part of the provisional government of the province of Andalusia, assembled at Seville, the result of which had been for-
warded for the approbation of the said government.
"Every arrangement had been taken for the reduction of the French ships, and admiral Purvis had been invited by the commanders to anchor his fleet at the mouth of the harbor, with a view to co-operate in compelling the common enemy in that port to surrender."
"It appears that the southern provinces of Spain had declared against France, and dispatches for the 4th June last, received from lieut. gen. sir H. Dalrymple, at Gibraltar, mention that the Spanish army, before that fortress, reinforced by the greater part of the garrison of Ceuta, had marched against the French."
I am, &c. CASTLEREAGH. "Right hon. Lord Mayor."
It thus appears that the official dispatches from off Cadiz came down the 6th last, but the private letters, from one of which, written by an officer of the fleet, the following is an extract, are of a day later:
Off Cadiz, June 7.
The Spanish admiral has been on board sir John Gore, to solicit the aid of the squadron to secure the French ships who were moored above them in the harbor.
"Four of ours were going in, and pilots were ordered for the rest. The batteries had opened on the French when the officer left."
The accounts from sir Charles Cotton, off Lisbon, are to the 12th ultimo, at which date it was expected that the French would be almost immediately dispossessed of Lisbon, if not extirpated. The ferment was so great some short time ago, that Junot found it necessary to surround the Spanish troops (1500 in number) there and sent them afloat in the river—he disarmed them by a manœuvre, and then put them on board hulks in the Tagus. Subsequently however, he is said to have been dangerously wounded in an insurrection, and overpowered.
LONDON, July 5.
A Cottenburg mail arrived this morning, with letters and papers to the 28th. Sir James Moore has not returned from Stockholm, but he was hourly expected, relays of horses having been provided for his use.—We hope that this is the last time we shall have to repeat that the expedition still remained in Gottenburg roads. Orders were received for the officers to repair immediately on board their respective ships; and although their destination was not known, it was understood that it was finally settled. Private letters state, that sir John Moore was engaged at Stockholm in a negotiation with the Russian court, in concert with the king of Sweden, in which event, if he has succeeded, the expedition will return home, as it is to be presumed that Denmark would be comprehended in the treaty. This, indeed, would be a most happy result, particularly at a moment when Spain stands in need of all the assistance we can afford. The report of a negotiation between Russia and this country is so strongly credited in this city, as to produce a considerable depreciation in all articles of Russian produce. Hemp fell yesterday no less than 10l a ton, and tallow and linseed oil in proportion.
We have received letters and papers from Holland, to the 2d inst. It is said that Bonaparte has declared war against Austria. This is mentioned as a report, in a letter from Rotterdam, of the 1st. which adds, that the two last posts from France had not brought any letters from either Portugal or Spain—a circumstance from which it was inferred, that the Patriots in both those countries had succeeded in cutting off all communication with France. Bonaparte was glad to save himself from the disgrace of failure in an attempt to invade England by marching his army against Prussia. He would, no doubt be glad of a pretence to attack Austria, if he found the subjection of Spain impracticable. The accounts from Bourdeaux inform us, that the Spanish Patriots had stopped a large quantity of cotton that was conveying to France and burnt it into ashes.—From Charante, Cogniac and other places, it is stated, that a forced levy of all the young men capable of bearing arms had taken place who, with the whole of the troops in that part of France, had been marched off to the frontiers of Spain.
A report prevailed yesterday in the city, that an insurrection had broken out in Paris. We mentioned it in our second edition but had not then time to ascertain its source.—We have since learned that it rests upon the authority of the Guernsey Gazette, of the 25th of June, which states. "That the letters from the coast of France assert, that an insurrection had broken out of a most formidable nature, all the operations of which had been concealed, till 35,000 men had been completely armed and organized; that the signal for assembling was the cry—Au feu! au feu! au feu!" that in the province of Languedoc and Roussillon also,
from 35 to 40,000 men were in arms, who had joined the Spanish Patriots in Catalonia; that the general cry of the insurgents was, Peace with England and war with Bonaparte; that the whole Pyrenean frontier was in full insurrection; and that Toulon was supposed to be the grand mover of the revolt.
Should that extraordinary good fortune on which Bonaparte so confidently relied once turn, his difficulties will be increased in proportion to the extent of the advantage which he now enjoys, and his fall will be as rapid as his rise; but we fear that crisis is not yet arrived that would justify us to enter into the description of the state of France given in the Guernsey Gazette.
Extract of a letter from Oporto, dated June 7.
"The Portuguese colors are again hoisted at the fort, and the port declared open to ships of all nations, except the French."
"An invitation was sent off to the commander of an English sloop of war, inviting him to come in, but which invitation he declined; however a salute of 21 guns was fired by the castle, and returned by the sloop with an equal number. The French officers are taken prisoners without bloodshed."
"Colonel Brown, with a young Portuguese as an interpreter, was sent off on Friday night to Oporto."
"Letters from the 8d instant have been received from Holland. The Moniteur is said to contain a senatus consultum, by which the national guards are called out to supply the place of the troops of the line withdrawn from the different departments. It is said that at least 150,000 men were on their march to join the troops which Bonaparte has already collected on the Spanish frontiers."
"Government this day received intelligence from France via Guernsey. It is understood to relate to the report of an insurrection which we noticed yesterday."
"The Algerines are understood from good authority, to be fitting out cruizers against the Americans."
The cessation of hostilities between the garrison of Gibraltar and the Spanish line was in consequence of the arrival in the former place of Don Esteller, the secretary to the new government at Seville. He reached the fortress on the first ult. and on the proposed being acceded to, the Spanish troops in the neighborhood immediately commenced their march for Ronda, with an army of fifty thousand men.
It is known that Junot has withdrawn his troops to the fortresses of St. Julien and of the Bongle, which commanded the entrance of the Tagus; and in which, if he has provisions, he may hold out for some months; while at the same time he blocks the entrance of the Tagus against our fleet. It is meant, however, by government, to attempt, in the first instance, the recovery of Lisbon, and the reduction of the force under Junot, who appears to be cut off from all assistance on the side of Madrid or of France.
It is said that Louis Bonaparte has been offered the crown of Naples in lieu of that of Holland, but has declined the exchange.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, August 19.
Latest from Spain.
By the arrival this forenoon of the ship Ocean, capt. Dodge, in 42 days from Gibraltar, our former advices from Spain, via Barbadoes, are confirmed in every particular; and we further learn, that the Seville Government have liberated all American vessels which had been sent in and detained in Spanish ports under Bonaparte's Imperial Decrees; that the Governor of the Isle and of Minorca had by Proclamation acknowledged Ferdinand VII. King; that the rising of the Peasantry throughout Old Spain had been general; that the whole force of Murat, at Madrid, is reduced to three thousand men, and the English troops under command of General Spencer had disembarked at St. Mary's; that General Dupon with his army at Cordova has been surrounded by 50,000 troops. The chief of the Spanish squadron, Valdes, who was at Minorca with six ships of war, and the commander of place, De Mahon, have submitted to the orders of the Supreme Council of Seville, and declared war against France. The news which we received from Portugal is confirmed. At Oporto a general embargo had been laid, and all the Spanish provinces submitted to the decree of the Council of Seville.
Mr. Young, the Consul General at Madrid, left that place on or about the 5th March with dispatches from Mr. Irving for the American Government, but was stopped at a small Post town, a short distance from Madrid, in consequence of an order from the Supreme Council of Seville ordering all persons with dispatches going to or coming from that place to be stopped and sent to Seville. Mr. Young was consequently sent to Seville, where he was lodged.

prison, and all his papers, baggage, &c. taken from him. This was occasioned by their finding among his dispatches some from the Duke of Berg (Murat) to the French Consul at Philadelphia under blank cover to the Secretary of State, and others designed for South America. After being detained in prison 15 days a passport was obtained from the Council to leave Spain and proceed to any port for embarking for America. With this he left Seville and arrived safe at Gibraltar. Directly after his arrival there, a letter was received from Lord Collingwood ordering Mr. Y. to be taken out of any vessel in which he was found. This was done by request of the Council at Seville. Sir H. Barry, the Governor of Gibraltar, however, did not conceive himself authorized to enforce these orders, but instructed Mr. Y. that he might proceed to any place he pleased, only giving him notice of his intention; at the same time Mr. Y. was given to understand that he would be taken out of any vessel in which he should take passage for America by a Spanish Gun-Boat. In consequence of this information, Mr. Y. entirely gave up the idea of coming to America with his dispatches, (although he had previously chartered the Ship Ocean for that purpose) and immediately took passage for England on board the Prevoyante store-ship which vessel sailed on the same day with the Ocean.
By the above arrival we have received the Gibraltar Chronicle of July 2d, from which the following extracts are made.
Fresh papers received from Spain. PRINTED IN THE ISLE OF MAJORCA. D. FERDINAND VII. King of Spain, and the adjacent islands, &c. &c.
And, in his royal name, his excellency the captain-general of this army and kingdom. I make known, to the faithful and loyal inhabitants of this island, that, last night, convened in my palace, a meeting composed of all the constitutional authorities, to lay before them the course which ought to be pursued under the existing circumstances, in which both my loyalty and the unanimous wish of the people require, that we should continue to acknowledge Ferdinand VII. a lawful sovereign—in consequence whereof, it was unanimously agreed upon, that these islands shall continue faithful to his majesty Ferdinand VII. to which end, and that we may have the benefit of the full exercise of the rights of sovereignty, in his name, as far as required, a board was appointed, which will begin, this very evening, to exercise the same, and publish what may be deemed conducive to the prosperity of this island. A te deum shall be sung, and there shall be a levee, royal salute, and illumination.
(Signed) D. Juan Miguel de Vives. By command of his excellency, and as secretary authorized by the board. (Signed)
Bartholome Jocias. Royal Castle of Palma, May 30, 1808.
The Supreme Board has sent me the following letter.
Most serene sir, D. Dionisio Capaz, member of this board, and an ensign in the navy, accompanied by the Portuguese captain, D. Sebastian Martinez, is going, in the name of this board to inform Y. M. S. H. of the occurrences which have lately taken place; and as they are thought most important, it has been deemed requisite that he should give you a verbal account of the same, that you may take the resolutions, and send us the assistance which we stand in need of.—May God, &c. &c.
(Signed) The Marquis de Carrion. Ayamonte, June 20, 1808.
The purport of this verbal information, is that the French have been driven from the forts on the right bank of the Guadiana, opposite to Ayamonte; the inhabitants of the place, assisted by the few regulars who were there, and a handful of armed Portuguese, having beaten the French troops by which they were garrisoned, and hoisted the Spanish flag in every one of them. The loss of the enemy amounts to 91 prisoners, and a number of killed. The whole of the kingdom of Algarva is in a state of insurrection; Villa Real and Castromarin, as well as the batteries of the Carrasquera and S. Anton, have been taken possession of; the Rebel MALLET has been handcuffed, and let down into a dry well, with 26 other individuals; the remainder of the French troops have fled to the mountains; Tavira, Faro and Alillon are up in arms; and the military chests of the French have been seized. The few Spanish troops above-mentioned, consisted of Catalonians, Provincials, and a small number of Murcians.
A Portuguese Captain is come to inform the Board, that Algarva and the whole Kingdom wish to be under its protection, in the name of FERDINAND VII.
In detailing the intelligence we have received, we must give precedence in point of time to the following letter, which was handed to us for publication by a valuable mercantile friend, to whom it was written by an American gentleman in Cadiz, his correspondent. It condenses the causes which led to, and the events which have followed the Spanish revolution.
(Mer. Advertiser.) Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated June 14.
"There is not, perhaps, upon record, in the history of any of the revolutions of ancient time, or the subversions of governments of the more enlightened nations of modern origin, one more remarkable than that which has taken place in Spain. It is astonishing that a nation, who once took so distinguished a part in the empires of Europe, and who spread the terror of its arms, the influence of its religion, and the power of its laws, over the distant provinces of America, and whose immense dominions have always been the cause of jealousy to the neighboring potentates, should have been, as it were, paralyzed by the sudden entrance of foreign troops, and lose in a moment that ancient bravery and heroism which had signified the national character.
"The causes which led to this primitive prostration of their government, before the ambition of their all-powerful neighbor, is not easily developed or explained. A foreigner in the country, ignorant of the language, and not possessed of authentic sources of information, is unable to state more than what passes immediately under his own observation, and to detail accordingly: but it is easy to see the relaxed state of the government, the ease with which almost all the public officers are corrupted, and the total want of firmness and energy in the lesser officers of government, which would not be the case if the head of the Spanish empire possessed any of the qualities requisite for the head of a great and powerful nation.
"It was about the month of October, 1807 that the French emperor made known his intention of passing troops into Spain, for the ostensible purpose of protecting it from its enemies, and to form the siege of Gibraltar. This, though calculated to excite alarm in the Spaniards, they submitted to; and the politic emperor having previously drawn out the best troops of Spain to assist him in the conquest of the north of Europe, had no fear of any obstacle to the accomplishment of his wishes, and (doubtless with a view of having troops in the heart of the kingdom) marched an army into Spain, which was received by the Spaniards ( per force ) with the utmost friendship. Another avowed object was the union of his niece with the prince of Asturias. But, notwithstanding these demonstrations of friendship, it was not difficult to foresee the fate of the monarchy in the enmity of Napoleon to the house of Bourbon.
"The abdication of the throne by Charles, and its assumption by Ferdinand, were the effect of the intrigues of Napoleon's ministers. This revolution took place in March 1808, and is said to have been occasioned by an attempt of the Prince of Peace to secure the retreat of the royal family to their South American dominions; and the fear of their escape was so great, that 7000 French troops were transported in post chaises to Madrid to prevent it.
"The mine, so long laid, was at last sprung; the combination against the Prince of Peace openly inflamed the populace of Madrid against him, and he was taken prisoner, put in chains, and his house and furniture given up to their fury; they even revenged themselves upon his pictures and statues.
"In this state of things Charles IV. abdicates the throne, and Ferdinand the VII. was proclaimed king. He was received with great joy by the people: but the event shewed, either that they wanted attachment to his person, or that he wanted firmness and talents to direct the reins of government.
"At this time the French had a large force in the vicinity of Madrid under the command of the duke of Berg; and the first exercise of their power was to demand the delivery of the prince of Peace to the emperor on pretence of his being a member of the legion of honor, and therefore amenable only to the founder of that order. This was accordingly done by royal decree, and don Manuel Godoi was carried prisoner into France. The emperor then invited the king and his family to meet him at Bayonne to celebrate the nuptials of his niece with the prince of Asturias. They accepted the invitation, and left the government of the kingdom to the infant don Antonio, brother
to Charles IV. It was at Bayonne the fate of the king was sealed. It was, however, necessary to have the infant Don Antonio at Bayonne, as the fears of the emperor were not dormant as long as any of the Bourbons remained out of his immediate power; and it was on his departure that the populace of Madrid arose, and that an alarming riot took place between the French troops and the inhabitants of Madrid, which was quelled by the French with the loss of 1800 men, and perhaps as many Spaniards. This was followed by a severe proclamation of the duke of Berg, prohibiting the Spaniards from carrying any kind of weapon, and ordering all the inhabitants of Madrid without exception to be disarmed; from meeting in companies of more than eight persons; denouncing severe punishment against the authors of seditious libels; threatening to burn every village where a Frenchman should be assassinated; and concluded with informing them that as his conduct on this occasion had been lenient, his vengeance in future should be dreadful.
"Whilst these scenes were passing in Madrid, the dynasty of Spain was changed at Bayonne, and the crown abdicated a third time in favour of the emperor of the French who is said to have nominated his brother JOSEPH king of Spain. Some faint hopes, however, yet remain to induce a belief that Spain will not tamely bend her neck to the yoke. The whole province of Andalusia is in arms, determined to resist these encroachments of the French; and on the evening of the 27th May accounts were received from Seville, a city distant from hence seventy five miles, that the people had risen en masse taken possession of the cannon foundry and park of artillery with the deposit of small-arms, and had beheaded the Count d'Aguilera their governor, under the impression of his being in the French interest. The people had encamped in the vicinity of Seville to the number of 45,000 men, and there appointed a new government, chosen from among the different classes of citizens, and called The Supreme Council . Two days previous to this, the enraged populace seized upon Marquis de Solano, captain general of the province, and massacred him in one of the public squares. On the night of the 29th and the ensuing day the city was completely in the power of the people, without the sacrifice of any other lives than those of Don Solano, and two of the mob whom he killed as they were in the act of arresting him. Don Thomas Morla, a man of decided character, is appointed his successor.
"Since this period, every town from Cadiz to Valencia have risen en masse , and a general conscription has been made of every person capable of carrying arms from 14 to 40. As fast as they are enlisted they are marched towards the Sierra Morena to guard the passes in those mountains which divide the province of Andalusia from the other provinces of Spain. An armistice for six months has been concluded with the British; and every thing is said to be granted by the admiral off this port, and the governor of Gibraltar, which their powers will admit of. Advice has been sent to England by several opportunities; and in a few days commissioners will be appointed, and invested with full powers by the supreme government of Seville, to proceed to England, and adjust a peace and plan of operations. The blockade of the port is raised; and we are assured that the moment the French fleet in this bay have surrendered, the British fleet will come in, and every thing be put on the most friendly footing between Spain and England."
[The writer proceeds to detail journal-wise, the proceedings of the Spanish and French fleets in the harbor of Cadiz from the time of their commencement of hostilities until the surrender of the latter; which, as we have given the official account, we deem it unnecessary here to repeat. Not having an opportunity, whilst at Cadiz, of forwarding the above letter to his friend, incloses it to another from Gibraltar, under date of July 3d, in which he says:]
"We are in hourly expectation of hearing of the surrender of Gen. Dupont and his army, consisting of nearly 9000 men, within three leagues of Cordova, and 350 miles from Cadiz. This is a division of French troops that were on their march to Seville when the revolution commenced, detached by the Duke of Berg from the Grand Army, consisting of about 70,000 men, in the vicinity of Madrid. There are now only 3000 men in the vicinity of the metropolis; the residue of this large army were detached to take possession of different parts of the country, and were marching with the utmost confidence when the revolution commenced. Dupont must inevitably surrender, as he is hemmed in on all sides by an army much superior to his own, and without hope of relief. The French army that originally arrived in this country consisted of about 90,000 men, and were in possession of many principal towns. From the immense territory over which they are scattered, with-
out being able to form a junction in season, & making good their retreat, & from the energy with which the Spaniards have acted, there is no doubt but the major part of this immense army will eventually fall into the hands of the Spaniards.

DR. ROBERTSON'S
CELEBRATED STOMACHIC ELIXIR OF HEALTH, WHICH has proved by experience, to be the most valuable medicine ever offered to the public for curing the Gout, Cramp, and wind in the stomach; also a certain cure for the Dysentery, or Bloody Flux, Cholera Morbus, severe gripings, and all other diseases of the bowels, a dose never fails to remove a cold if taken soon after its first appearance. It is also celebrated for carrying off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach, severe head ache, &c. &c.
The following certificates are selected from the many respectable ones lately received by the proprietor, and are now in his possession.
CERTIFICATE.
Of Mr. William Julion, carpenter and builder, No. 60, south Fifth street, Philadelphia. Sir—My wishes to promote the interest of superior merit, and to afford consolation to the afflicted induces me to request you will lay my case before the public, as an incontestible proof of the astonishing efficacy of Dr. Robertson's invaluable Stomachic Elixir of Health.
I do hereby certify that I was seized most violently with the dysentery, or bloody flux, which reduced me so much that I was confined to my bed, and became so weak that I could not move without assistance. My situation at that time became so seriously alarming, as no relief could be obtained, I was given over, and even death would have been desirable to me, had not a friend of mine, who by chance called to see me, who had just recovered from a similar complaint, though not so severe as mine. He informed me that he was cured by taking Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health, and advised me to send to you for a bottle. I immediately did so, and by following your instructions given with the bottle, I found myself much relieved, and my disorder greatly abated, and by continuing to take it, in one week I was able to walk out, and in less than a fortnight was able to attend to my business.
I therefore recommend every family to be provided with this invaluable medicine, particularly those who live at a distance in the country where assistance cannot be immediately obtained. As I am convinced that Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health, is the most effectual remedy in the world, I have since recommended it to several of my friends in similar complaints, who have always been relieved immediately after taking it. Should any person wish to be more fully convinced of my case, I will with pleasure explain it to them by applying to me.
I am, with a due sense of the benefit I have received, through the efficacy of your medicine,
Sir, your humble servant, WM. JULION.
MR. DYOTT. Philadelphia, July 15th, 1807.
CERTIFICATE,
Of Mr. John T. Solomon, Sixth near Race street, Philadelphia.
Sir—For the good of the public and benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you, that having labored for upwards of six months, under a very bad cough, attended with difficulty of breathing, pains in my breast and side, and a sickness at my stomach; having lost all appetite, I became so very much reduced in my strength as to be unable to walk. I was considered in a consumption, and given up for a lost man. In this hopeless situation I had recourse to Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health, and to my great astonishment before I had taken one bottle, found myself very much relieved. I expectorated a great quantity of phlegm, which has eased me of one of the most violent coughs that ever a man had; I have taken it regularly ever since, and now find myself completely recovered, and shall certainly, for the benefit received, recommend it as far as I can, believing it to be a most efficacious medicine in the above complaint.
I am, sir, With real respect, Your obliged humble servant, JOHN T. SOLOMON.
MR. T. DYOTT. August 22.
CERTIFICATE
Of Mr. Peter Denham, No. 278, south Second street, Philadelphia.
DEAR SIR, It is with the utmost satisfaction I inform you of the cure effected by your truly invaluable Stomachic Elixir of Health, as the whole of my family, including myself being six in number, were violently affected with the influenza, attended with very bad coughs, pains in the limbs, and difficulty of breathing, which continued to increase. I applied to a physician, but his medicines had no effect. Just at that time, having heard of the cures made by Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health I determined to try a bottle of it; I did, and its effects exceeded my expectations. The first two or three doses caused me to expectorate a vast quantity of tough viscid phlegm, and so speedily removed every symptom of the cold, that by the time we had taken three
bottles we were all perfectly cured, except weakness that remained, for which I have ministered Dr. Robertson's Patent Wine Bitters, and I have found them wonderfully efficacious in strengthening the system, and destroying of worm: as two of my children have voided a vast quantity by taking them, and are now growing strong and healthy. I have since recommended the above medicines to a number of my friends, who have been immediately relieved by taking them.
It is my desire that you publish this case of my family for the benefit of the public, and those who may be afflicted. Any person desirous of further information, may have every satisfaction, by applying either by letter or personally to me.
I am, sir, Your obliged humble servant, PETER DENHAM.
