Five Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloons, mixed with blue slack and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string: Likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the Navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria. B. Dade. November 4.

VERSES
For my Tomb-Stone—if ever I should have one.
By a Prostitute and Penitent.
The wretched victim of a quick decay, Relieved from life on humble bed of clay, The last and only refuge for my woes, A lost love-ruin'd female, I repose: From the sad hour I listen'd to his charms, And fell, half forc'd, in the Deceiver's arms. To that whose awful veil hides every fault, Shelt'ring my sufferings in this dreadful vault; When pamper'd, starved, abandon'd, or in drink, My thoughts were rack'd in striving not to think; Nor could rejected conscience claim the pow- er, T' improve the respite of one serious hour. I durst not look to what I was before, My soul shrunk back, and wish'd to be no more. Of eye undaunted, and of touch impure, Old ere of age, worn out when scarce ma- ture. Cover'd with guilt, infection, debt & want; My home a brothel, & the streets my haunt, Full seven long years of infamy I've pin'd, And fondled, loath'd, and prey'd upon man- kind; Till the full course of sin and vice gone through, My shatter'd fabric failed at twenty two. Then Death, with every horror in his train, Here closed the scene of nought but guilt and pain. Ye fair associates of my op'ning bloom, O! come and weep, and profit at my tomb: Let my short youth, my blighted beauty prove, The fatal poison of unlawful love. O, think how quick my foul career I ran, The dupe of passion, vanity, and man. Then shun the path where gay delusions shine; Be your's the lesson—sad experience mine.

VIA NEW-YORK.
VIENNA September 13.
The armistice is prolonged, though the period of its duration has not been notified in daily orders to either army. It is however rumored, that the 30th of October is the day appointed for the renewal of hostilities; but the circumstance of fixing upon so distant a day, strengthens the pacific indications held out by the continuance of the negotiations at Altenburg.
The Austrian emperor, in his last general orders, adverts to the prolongation of the armistice, his assent to which, he says, "is to be attributed, not to a sense of feebleness, but to his affection for his subjects, and his anxiety to avert from them the calamities of war." His majesty, in this production, repeats the assurance with which the general order of the 16th concludes.
Sept. 19.
His Imperial majesty, who, on the 15th instant, set out for Brunn, arrived this afternoon in Schoenbrunn, on his return from that place. On his journey he reviewed the troops who compose the corps commanded by marshal d'Auerstadt. At the same time when the emperor left Schoenbrunn, count Buhna, aid de camp of the emperor of Austria, set out on his return to Buda, where his master is at present. He was charged with a letter from the emperor Napoleon to his Austrian majesty. The duke of Frioul, grand marshal of the palace, presented count Buhna, before his departure, with a precious stone of great value, on the part of his imperial majesty; from which circumstance, and some observations said to have been made by Count Buhna, it is generally inferred, that the negotiations are drawing fast to their conclusion.
M. Baldacci still holds the place of Director of the Austrian cabinet, although it has been positively asserted that he was removed from that station.
COLOGNE, September 20.
We have accounts here that the armistice has been prolonged to the 5th of October. This agreement between the two monarchs is said to have been the result of a letter in the emperor of Austria's own hand to the emperor Napoleon, and which was transmitted by count Von Buhna.
ANTWERP, September 21.
Several movements have already taken place among the troops. General Klein, commanding the division of cavalry, goes with his staff towards Brussels. The grand park has this day been moved off in the direction of Mechlen. Several regiments of the line are quartered at Merzen, a village on the road to Holland. General Chambarlac transfers his head quarters to Gehucht, two leagues from Antwerp, on the Ghent road.
The army of Antwerp will be divided into three bodies. That of the right wing will be under the command of the senator Rampon; and that of the centre under the command of the general of division Reille, one of the emperor's aids du camp. Our garrison will be composed of 1000 dismounted dragoons, 1000 veterans, and 1500 of the National Guard. General Vattelaa has arrived here.
We are assured that 200 gun boats are to be convoyed from Bolougne, though the canals into the Scheldt.
LIBSON, September 15.
Within these few days several ships have arrived with English troops on board, to reinforce the army of general Wellesley.— Lisbon Gazette, Sept. 15.
September 16.
Mr. Shaw, the messenger, sails to-morrow morning, in a brig of war, for England with dispatches. I have only to add to my last, that the armies remain inactive. The British head quarters are at Bedajoz; the French have gone into cantonments, in the vicinity of Placentia, Corra, &c. Both parties appear to wait the issue of events in Germany.
From the Gazette.
According to letters from the north of Portugal, the army of the marquis de la Romana, consisting of 30,000 men, passed through Torre de Moncorvo, in the province of Tras os Montes, apparently in the direction of Cindad Rodrigo.
CINDAD RODRIGO, September 4.
The members of the Junta of Old Castile are here. The French are said to have at Burgos 2,000 men, and several parties of infantry and cavalry in Burgo de Osma, Aranda, and other towns in the neighborhood. The division of Ney, which passed through Banos, is stationed between Salamanca and Tora.
CADIZ, September 5.
According to accounts from the supreme junta of Arragon, the French from Alcanez have retired to Saragossa, and part to Castile. The retrograde movements of the French in La Mancha are confirmed. Our cavalry has by this time passed Mansana-raz. In the army of Estramadura, whose head-quarters were established on the 30th ultimo, at Tiuxillo, every thing is organiz- ing with incredible activity; already are the bridges prepared for again passing the Tagus.
VALENCIA, August 27.
Persons employed by our generals, for the communication of intelligence, state, that the enemy has in Madrid in various hospitals, 12,000 sick and wounded. In consequence of the battle of Almanacía, they demanded 8,000 beds, on account of having a great number wounded.
GERONA, August 7.
This place continues to defend itself with the utmost bravery, although the enemy have succeeded in making themselves masters of the Rebelin. The exertions of the garrison and the brave peasantry who have so nobly supported the honor of the Spanish arms, are incredible.
August 13.
The governor of Monjuich, perceiving the deplorable state in which that fortress was, and knowing that the enemy intended an immediate and vigorous attack, thinking it prudent no longer to expose a garrison which had defended itself with heroism, and crowned itself with glory, by sustaining so many attacks from the 25th of June, on which the enemy took several of the towers, and they having, on the 4th of July, made a practicable breach, and within these few days past demolished the whole of the curtain, determined to abandon the fortress, and at half past six of the afternoon of the 11th, after destroying every thing that might be useful to the enemy, and carrying the few provisions that remained, withdrew the garrison into this city, which it entered full of valor, and impatient for new glory. It must be confessed that this event is of some importance to the enemy; but because this fortress is taken, it does not follow that Gerona must be taken too; it has other fortresses, walls, and its garrison and inhabitants are resolved to dispute the streets inch by inch if the besiegers should ever enter
them. If all the troops to which the nation has confided the defence of its rights and existence, had displayed the same constancy and patriotism with those of Gerona, its salvation would have been more prompt and complete.— Government Gazette, September 3.
TARRAGONA, August 17.
We learn from Catella, under date of the 12th, that on the 10th, at 2 in the afternoon, 300 men of the garrison of Monjuich, in Gerona, made a sally, took a battery of ten guns, and destroyed it with a parapet. The two companies of women formed in the place, whose usual occupation is to carry provisions and wine to the brave defenders of their country, and attend the wounded in the hospitals, demanded muskets, while others who were not regularly enlisted in these companies, supplied their place in the discharge of their usual duties.— Ibid.
BADAJOZ, August 31.
The following royal order directed to his excellency the marquis de la Romana, has been transmitted to him by Don Martin Garay:—
"In the midst of the great cares and attentions which the supreme governing junta of the kingdom has taken to follow with activity and firmness the defence of the country, it has never lost sight of the salutary reforms which the nation earnestly expects, which its actual situation requires, and which must be the foundation of its future prosperity. One of the greatest objects which now claim its attention, and which ought to occupy it with the greatest activity, is the convocation of the Cortes, the most important object which can or ought to employ the supreme junta. The more important the object is, the more necessary is the experience of those who compose that assembly; and as in a discussion of such magnitude, it will be expected by the nation that all should concur, his majesty has been pleased to grant that all the deputies shall give their assistance. It will therefore be necessary, in consequence of this sovereign and general determination, that the marquis de la Romana separate himself from his troops and come to this city, to exercise the functions of representative of the national body, though it is certainly most difficult to place at their head a chief of equal experience and achievements. Considering, however, the state of the kingdom of Galicia, and the principality of Asturias, the junta, after mature deliberation, has determined that the marquis shall transfer his command to that general of his army whom he shall judge most capable."
I communicate to your excellency the order of his majesty, for its fulfilment, advising at the same time, that the command of the army cannot, with propriety, be transferred to the major general de Condi de Noronha, because he being second commandant general in Galicia ought always to remain in that kingdom."
In consequence of this royal order the marquis de la Romana has signified that he has confided the command of the army to the major gen. Don Gabriel de Mendezabal, and that of the kingdom to the Conde di Noronha, 2d commandant gen. and president of its royal audience.
September 9.
On the 3d inst. his excellency the marquis of Romana arrived at Cindad Rodrigo, on his way to Seville. His army is advancing to Zamora, and a part of it is expected at Cindad Rodrigo.
SEMLIN, August 8.
We are informed that the English minister, Mr. Adair, has addressed to the Reis Effendi several demands on the part of his court, which have been communicated to an extraordinary Divan, in which the grand seignor has presided.
Silence is observed with respect to the nature of the propositions made by this minister; but it is believed they are supported by threats, which seem to have produced a great sensation, and which, it is said, are made to compromise the honor of the Ottoman Porte.
BUENOS AYRES, Aug. 7.
The new viceroy is arrived, and Liniers has resigned his command, and has retired to Mendoz, a town 300 leagues up the country. Liniers had orders from the supreme junta to repair to Spain, to answer the charge brought against him by general Elio, governor of Monte Video; but he resigning his command, refused to go, alledging the unsettled state of that country as an excuse. All the Creoles are on the side of Liniers, as he disbanded the old regiments of Spain, and placed Natives in their places, which caused much jealousy among the old troops, particularly much jealousy was excited against a lady of
French extraction, who has in common taken her passage on board an English brig, the Steady, for Rio Janeiro, with her, her family and property. The new viceroy has been invested with extraordinary powers; those of the British merchants applied to know that commerce was to be conducted in his hands. His answer was, that he had been commanded to put a stop to all contraband in the river Plate, and to put an end to it, both sides of the river are guarded. Trade, of course, is at a stand here; a new governor has also arrived, Monte Video, and gen. Elio is now commandant of the troops at Buenos Ayres, but, on account of their dislike to him, remains at Monte Video, and the new governor of that place comes in his stead.
CONSTAD, Sept. 29.
Several French troops, and among them numerous detachments of horse, have lately passed through this place, on their way to Bavaria and Austria, with large transports of ammunition from Strasburg. On the other hand, several hundred hundred serjeants, and corporals, have been sent from Vienna to Strasburg, apparently destined to form a new corps.
General Suchet is said to have obtained fresh advantage over Blake's army, which was advancing for the relief of Gerona. Being informed of this movement, General Suchet marched to meet the enemy, and placed him in the fine position of San Domingo de Legna, dislodged him, and drove him down the valley of Brincal of the bandits, and intercepted the communication by the sea route.
(Royal Amsterdam Courant, Sept. 19.)
LITZ, Sept. 19.
The last accounts from Vienna bring nothing certain relative to the negotiations of peace. According to some, a Russian plenipotentiary was expected to take an active part in the negotiations, in order to facilitate in future the relations between Russia, France, Austria, and the states of the German federation of the Rhine. Nothing is, however, publicly known concerning the progress of the negotiations.
We learn from Hungary that the different Austrian corps which were stationed between Kaschou and Neuhäusel, have within these few days, broken up, and approached nearer to the Danube. A strong column has even passed that river, in order to extend itself along the Raab, and to cover the fortress of Comorn. The corps of the archduke Palatine is the only one which remains in its former position, near Neuhäusel.
Accounts from Klattau state, that the troops in the service of the late elector Hesse are still in that circle, and have extended themselves more southerly, so that a division of them is in Siogern, adjoining to the circles of Prachin and Budweis. The cordon of Austrian troops extends from Winterberg, Oberwaldau, Kutschwarda, Rorhu, Butchet, Oberplan, Schwarzenbach, Unterwaldau, and Hoehenfurt. This cordon, which passes along the Bavarian frontier, is very numerous, and consists of several infantry regiments of Spork, and of several three companies. Near Wuldau, Kutschwarda, and Wallern, intrenchments and redoubts have been thrown up, which are part already complete. There are also redoubts behind Budweis, which, however, are unoccupied. How long this position may continue is uncertain as the great part of the militia of Bohemia has drawn under the cannon of Prague, and a part of the militia, which forms the cordon, have received orders to break up for the same. Near Kutschwarda there is some artillery. The militia, it is understood, will take the place of their present uniform, and dress themselves at their own expence, with a uniform similar to that of the Austrian troops, from which it is conjectured that they will soon be made use of to supply the deficiencies in the troops of the line, though this appears to be inconsistent with the assurances given them when they were first established.
A new militia (besides the old called landwehr) is like to be forming, in which persons capable of bearing arms, are to serve. It is to be called the landwehr. It is not, however, expected to be of much service of the other.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 29.
The Swedish embassy, which arrived here some days back, left this place for Paris in the course of this morning.
(Royal Amsterdam Gazette, Sept. 29.)
September 29.
We learn from Dresden, that the necessary measures have been taken there, to secure, as much as possible, that capitulation

gainst any hostile attack, in case the war with Austria should unexpectedly recommence. The most valuable effects have been sent in Konigstein, and several hundreds of laborers are daily employed in throwing up intrenchments on the heights near the Bohemian frontiers. On the 18th a considerable train of Saxon artillery passed through Erlangen, on its way to join the Saxon corps which is in Presburg.
Preparations are making to prolong the line of telegraphs from Paris to Strasburg, by Augsburg and Munich, to Vienna. Some French officers, charged with the completion of this work, have already arrived at Augsburg, and begun their operations. The line from Augsburg to Strasburg passes by Ulm and Cronstadt.
Nothing new has been received from the Tyrolese frontiers. From the Voralberg they write, that all the troops that were in Honenems, Dornbirn, and Feldkirch, broke up on the 14th for Plandenz so that an attack on the peasants, near Brez and Dales, might be expected.

LONDON, October 1.
EAST INDIES.
We are sorry to learn by the following letter, brought by the vessel just arrived from Madras, that the disputes between the civil and military authorities at that presidency were not, on the 13th May, terminated by the removal of General M'Dowal, and the suspension of Major Boles (which happened so long ago as the 31st January) but that the dismissal of officers still continued.
MADRAS, May 13, 1809.
"The present dispatch is occasioned by some serious discontent which, of late, has been manifested by the officers of the coast army, and which has led to the suspension of five of high rank and respectability, and of various removals from command and appointments, I dare not venture to express my apprehensions of the result of these important proceedings, which have excited the greatest agitation in this settlement."
By the India government Gazette of May the 4th, it appears that the most violent disputes existed between the council and the army. Several officers some of them of considerable rank, are charged with preparing a seditious paper, "purporting to be a remonstrance in the name of the army against the acts of the government under which it serves," and calculated to destroy every foundation of discipline, obedience and fidelity." Other officers are accused of circulating inflammatory papers, censuring the suspension of major Boles, the late deputy adjutant general; and all these proceedings are attributed to the example set by the violent and intemperate acts of the late commander in chief." A considerable number of officers have been rebuked or suspended in consequence, and among others, lt. colonels Robert Bell and J. M. Chalmers, have been removed from their commands; lieutenant colonel John Cuppage, and captain J. M. Coombs, separated from the staff; and lieutenant colonel the honorable Arthur St. Leger, major John De Morgan captain Josiah Marshall, and captain James Grant, ordered to hold themselves in readiness to return to England. In short, from whatever cause these divisions may have arisen, whether from the late commander in chief having claimed, like his predecessors, a seat in the government, whether from usurpation attempted on the part of the army, or refusal of right on the part of the council, they appear to be of a most extensive and serious nature. Distance alone renders the tenure of our East-India possessions a precarious one, but at such a time as the present, when the genius of our enemy is lurking about them, ready to take advantage of every incidental weakness, we ought to render ourselves more invulnerable than Achilles himself, and not leave even a heel exposed. Yet, alas! the nation is at this minute distracted in head, and sick at heart, and the very heads [which should be its safeguard are employed in madly smiting each other.
Another account states, that when the Virginia sloop, which brought these dispatches, left Madras, the dissatisfaction that had some time existed, caused by a circulation of a remonstrance against the act of government, in removing the late commander in chief, had subsided that all was quiet, and that the officers, who had prepared and circulated this paper, were, by a general order of the governor in council, of the 6th May, to be sent home by the fleet which was hourly expected to sail for England. The names mentioned are those above stated, with the addition of major Boles, namely, colonel St. Leger, majors Boles and De Morgan, and captains Grant and Marshall.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9.
The fourth Monday in the present month is the day appointed for the next meeting of Congress.
The cloven foot.—It is well known that among our false apostles of liberty, Bonaparte has been all along, from first to last, the idol of adoration. They have sang his praises; they have shouted his victories; they have kissed, as it were, his footsteps. Some have attributed all this to their deep-rooted hatred to England; while others, with seemingly less candor, but with more real justice, have thought them so corrupt in the very core of their hearts, as to harbor direct wishes to bring this country under the dominion of the Corsican Usurper. The truth is out at last; the cloven foot is visible to every one that has eyes to see.
Since news of the successes and bloody triumphs of Bonaparte in Austria reached this country, a writer that appears in the Philadelphia Democratic Press, comes out boldly with the following political blasphemy.
"No longer can the most distant nations of the earth, look with indifference on the march of the Eagles of France; whether they will resist and be devoured, or cower under its wings for protection, is a question which they must all determine."
There is no language now spoken, or ever spoken, that contains epithets of detestation and abhorrence too severe for these base, these traitorous sentiments. So then, it is come to this at last, that all nations, the most distant, as well as those in the neighborhood of France; that all nations, the United States inclusively, must determine either to resist France, or to cower under its wings for protection; and in the meanwhile are assured that if they resist they will be devoured.—And who are the men that dare say it?—The same who evidently have been wishing with all their hearts and souls for the conquest of Austria, of Spain, and of Portugal, and for the omnipotence of Bonaparte." They beheld "the march of the Eagles of France" with transports of joy; the extension of her power was the thing in the world they most desired; they hung their heads in sadness at every disappointment she met with; they feasted their souls with every bloody victory she obtained;—they were in the dumps or in the clouds precisely as the tide of her successes ebb'd or flow'd; she has now mounted the pinnacle where they had wished her to be long ago and now they have the insolence to tell us, that if we resist France we shall be devoured by her; they have the insolence to advise us to cower under her wings for protection.
Cower under the wings of France! Venerable shades of the sages and heroes of our revolution! was it for this ye toiled and bled? Cower under the wings of France! To cower, "is to sink by bending the knees; to stoop; to shrink." And all this we must do, or be devoured! It was the first and darling wish of their hearts that France should be all-powerful; and no sooner do they think her to be so, than they tell us that we must cower, that is, must stoop, shrink, bend the knees, to get under her protecting wings. Yet these men talk proudly of the spirit of '76; and are prating against the tories of our revolution for cowering under the wings of England.
We do not yet believe that the general voice of the democratic party in this country, is for servile submission to France; but we do believe this to be the darling object of some of their leaders. We do believe that if the French should invade us, these traitors would cry, "It is in vain to resist the conquerors of the world; if you resist, you will be devoured; the only hope left you is to cower under their wings for protection." We do believe, moreover, that if the standard of Bonaparte were erected in this country, these wretches would instantly repair to it. Thus acted the traitors in Holland, in Switzerland, and in every country that has been subjugated by France. (Con. Courant.)
United States and England.—We have steadily adhered to the opinion that the existing disputes between the United States and England would not eventuate in a war. The opinion has been founded upon the knowledge possessed by every one that the two nations have a mutual interest in peace, and upon the idea that both governments have such a perfect consciousness of that interest as will induce them to agree upon some terms of accommodation, at however late a stage of negotiation, rather than resort to arms. As to France, we have inclined to think that we must have a war with that power, ever since its ruler undertook to dictate to us what course we should pursue in respect to England. But we should be happy to find that we had miscalculated in this instance. Peace with both nations is desirable. Yet we have had no faith in the negotiations which were said to have been resumed at Paris. We have much confidence, however, in those which have lately been instituted at Washington. It is still our opinion that the president is sincerely desirous of an honorable accommodation with England, and we have some reasons for that opinion which are perhaps peculiar to ourselves. It is known to us, indeed, that a most disastrous influence has been attempted to be exercised upon the president, to produce a rupture of the negotiation; but it is known to us, also, that in some very important points, that influence has been repelled with becoming independence and dignity. A treaty is not to be immediately expected. So far as we possess information upon the subject, and we candidly confess that our information, as indeed every one must know from the nature of the case, is extremely imperfect and inconclusive, we are satisfied that some of the introductory propositions of Mr. Jackson have been acceded to by our administration with perfect frankness and candor; that to meet some of his more important proposals would involve the exercise of powers not constitutionally vested in the President; that it is not probable that the President will recommend to Congress the adoption of the measures insisted on by the British government, nor is it probable that Congress will adopt them without such a recommendation: but that a middle course will be proposed by our government which will require a new communication with that of Great-Britain. This prospect may be thought to be upon the whole a bad one, but we still have strong hopes of an ultimate accommodation. (Freeman's Journal.)

It is impossible to point the javelin of satire more smoothly than Addison has gracefully effected in the following passage:
"Womankind is carried away with every thing that is showy, and with what delights the eye more than any species of living creatures whatsoever. Were the minds of the sex laid open, we should find the chief idea in one tippet, in another a fan. The memory of an old visiting lady is so filled up with gloves, silks & ribbands, that I can look upon it as nothing but a toy-shop. A matron of my acquaintance, complaining of her daughter's vanity, was observing that she had all of a sudden held up her head higher than ordinary, and taken an air that shewed a secret satisfaction in herself, mixed with a scorn in others. I did not know, says my friend, what to make of the carriage of this fantastical girl, until I was informed by her eldest sister, that she had a pair of striped garters on."
A prisoner within these few days appeared at Stafford county gaol, bringing his own committment. The constable, he said, was busy in his harvest, and could not come with him. It was not till after he had given his word and honor that he was the person named in the committment, that he was admitted. (London paper.)
In a late trial about two wills, found in the scrutoir of a gentleman deceased, a Jew was the plaintiff, and his counsel remarked, that the present was a most important question to the people of that persuasion, being in fact no less than "to determine whether the Old Testament or the New was most valid." (Ibid.)
The editor of the Gazette having engaged a gentleman to take sketches of the proceedings of Congress the approaching session, and to give such other information as may be collected at the capitol, hopes to be enabled to make his paper interesting and useful to his numerous and liberal patrons. With such assistance as has been proffered, and of which he proposes to avail himself, he is induced to believe he can make his paper equal in respectability and usefulness to any in the United States.
