A Runaway.
ON Monday morning last, a young and likely negro man slave, named DICK, left the service of the subscriber, and is now supposed to be lurking in or about the town of Alexandria. He is about 18 or 19 years of age, copper colored, well made, and wears his hair in a queue. He took with him shoemakers' tools, with which he is a tolerable workman, and had on a short jacket made of dark colored twilled Virginia cloth and pantaloons of the same. As he went off without any sort of provocation that I know of, it is supposed he is harbored at some of the numerous tipling houses in or about the town, and perhaps kept at work to defray his expenses. I will give Ten Dollars reward for his apprehension and delivery to me, or if he is secured in any jail, and notice given to me—and if he is apprehended out of the county of Fairfax or district of Columbia, I will pay Ten additional Dollars.

THE HONEST POLITICIAN.
In a Series of Numbers, addressed to President of the United States—to which added a publication under the signature
VINDEX.
January 12.
From the Hampshire Federalist.
GENERAL EATONS SPEECH. Delivered in Town-Meeting at Brimfield, April 3, 1809.
Give me leave, Mr. Moderator, to read an extract from a copy of a letter which appears in the National Agis of March 29th, said to be addressed to Messrs. Daniel Wright and Erastus Lyman of Northampton, and signed John Adams, viz.—“I always consider the whole nation my children—but they have almost all been undutiful to me. You two, gentlemen, are almost the only ones out of my own house who have for a long time, and I thank you for it, expressed a filial affection for
“JOHN ADAMS.”
If this letter had been signed John Quincy Adams, I should not doubt its authenticity; as it is, I have doubts. But whether real or fabricated by forgery, it displays equal vanity in the author and in the two gentlemen to whom it is said to be addressed. What! have we but two gentlemen left in our nation faithful to the principles of a venerable revolutionary patriot? Revolutionary patriot! On no other grounds can Mr. Adams faintly claim filial affection from free Americans; for it is to be presumed, that out of his family, he would have too much respect for the reputation of the mothers of the gentlemen he here compliments, to mean any thing else by the term children , than politically made his. But his political children were all federal. These, therefore, must be illegitimate.
The colloquy between Mr. Adams, when agent at Holland and visitant at Paris, and Diodati, ambassador for the elector of Saxony, is too ridiculous to merit its signature; and of course requires no comment. It is passing ridiculous to hear these, his children, agents of a political party, now ballyhooing the man by the epithet “venerable revolutionary patriot,” whom eight years ago they denounced, for the same purposes, “a hoary-headed incendiary.”
There are indeed sentiments in the letter ascribed to Mr. Adams, worthy an American. It opposes war, with France, and war generally—it opposes a dismemberment of the union. All that is christian—and, as it respects us, good national policy. We can have no benefit from war, if we can maintain an honorable peace. The God of nature has given us too much to make it necessary that we should seek wealth in the slaughter of men—it is better policy that we should cultivate them. But if pressed into war with two mighty belligerents, I would rather league with England than France—France, did I say? There is no France; all which was, has become Corsican—and the little charity-school tyrant, who now leads Frenchmen to death, and who has made a Golgotha of all Europe, will by and bye leave as many petty tyrants on that devoted continent, as he has brothers, cousins, bastards and generals—like ‘Macedonia’s madman,’ overrun the world, and leave that world to repair the injuries of his ambition. Since I saw his footsteps in Egypt I have hated Bonaparte. He wrested jewels from ladies’ fingers—slaughtered prisoners disarmed, & prescribed arsenic for his own wounded soldiers. Subsequent events have confirmed me in the opinion I there imbibed concerning him. Has he not wantonly burnt and sunk our ships when pursuing a lawful commerce? It is matter of indifference to him whether he use treachery, steel, poison, fire or water, to bring him to universal empire.
But to our subject—Who is to be governor of Massachusetts? The competitors are the hon. Mr. Gore, and the hon. Mr. Lincoln, I don’t like either of them—Gore is too lofty, and Lincoln too servile—I would rather have a Strong, or an Otis. But as we have only an alternative, I am for Gore. The latter is neither a coward nor a sycophant. He has manfully supported our interests abroad, and done much to promote the wealth and prosperity of our country at home. He is accused of speculating on soldiers wages—the charge is not exactly true. He speculated on the doubtful credit of this country. So did every man at that time, who had the means of speculating. He is charged with being the son of a tory? What if he were the son of a Musselman? He had no volition in that—“Ye shall no longer use the proverb—your fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.” By their fruits ye shall know them.” Mr. Gore has always and uniformly defended the rights of commerce, and eminently labored to support the interests of the New England states. Mr. Lincoln! What good thing has he done? While attorney general of the United States, in prosecuting a cause at Washington, in pursuance of his official duty, he arose to the court, and said—hem—and sat down and said hem: that’s all. I never knew any o-
ther great public act of his. I was present at this exhibition of talents, and blushed for Massachusetts; southern gentlemen laughed in office, or resigned for shame; I cannot affirm which—came home—has since been made vice governor—sanctioned the enforcing embargo law, and ordered detachments of militia to enforce the measure, without counsel, and without the concurrence of the people over whom he accidentally presides. To amuse and cajole an honest populace, he now talks of religion, violations of sabbaths, and other things. A lawyer talk of religion! Think rather of repentance. Let me ask that sanctified lieutenant governor if he always dined at home on Sundays, when dreaming on his duty at Washington? If Gore has gone beyond a Sabbath day’s journey in his exercises, and infringed a statute law—Lincoln has more often, on the same day, committed sacrilege by worshipping an idol, at whose table he drank burgundy, and at whose table he received a tythe. I hate religious hypocrisy, sir, and will leave the disgusting subject to religious hypocrites.—To the enforcing embargo law of January 9, 1809—it saps our liberties—he who tamely yields to it, must, according to my understanding of it, be a dependant on office-givers, and a political apostate. It yields to the control of an individual all that we, as republicans, ever contended for; and sets us down the drooping victims of our own misled confidence—the workmen and signers of our destruction.
The late honorable John Quincy Adams approved of embargo laws and their privations—so he did approve of our inglorious treaty with Tripoli—I can account for his conduct in both these cases. Lear the negotiator of that treaty, betrayed his old master Washington. Jefferson profited of his treachery and rewarded his minion by a lucrative appointment—And though dissatisfied with the conditions of peace he durst not bring the negotiator to any enquiry lest he himself should in turn be betrayed: for he has philosophy to discern that the man who sells himself once may always be bought. The report of the transactions and issue of the war were correctly brought home. The people of the United States were universally dissatisfied with the premature treaty—Mr. Jefferson seemed to have the same sensibility for the honor of the American flag. A committee of the Senate was appointed to enquire, investigate and report on facts—did report—and in terms which do them honor, condemned the negotiation in toto . Mr. Jefferson feared to call the man to his responsibility, whom he had once corrupted. Lear must consequently be kept in the background. The honorable John Quincy Adams appeared on the floor of the senate chamber as the champion of this patriot of cowardice, duplicity and treachery—cast a stigma on the few starved Americans who had fought the decisive battles of the war—passed eulogiums on Lear who had made you tributary to a conquered barbarian—and denounced, in philippics, the only man who had received a wound in the expedition of 1805. All this patriotism and honesty from the honorable John Quincy Adams because he had received the promise of an appointment as minister plenipotentiary to Constantinople; but it was finally decided that no ambassador, at that time, near the Grand Seigneur, was necessary. Adams, the younger (for I would always make discrimination between him and the venerable Revolutionary Patriot) converted by ambition and hope from a thorough-going federalist to a courtly democrat, stood on in expectation of a commission somewhere; approves embargo; denounces as vassals better men than ever came from his father’s loins; and receives a nomination as minister plenipotentiary to St. Petersburg—The event has been the same, though more formal, as the mention of him to the Sublime Porte. If John Q. Adams, therefore, be legitimate—i. e. not out of the family, I would discard the race—they have no influence here.
Much has been said and printed against Mr. Pickering; and much argument drawn reproachful to his name, from the circumstance of his being dismissed from the department of state. I know that senator well—He is just. And Aristides will be Aristides still. The cause of his dismissal was not political. As no cause has ever been offered the nation, we have a right to conjecture. It is more than conjecturable that his opposition to the appointment of Col. Smith, son-in-law to the then President, to the high rank and important trust of brigadier general and adjutant and inspector general of the provisional army of eighty thousand, provoked that hasty act of Mr. Adams. Col. Pickering had served with Mr. Smith. Though Mr. Pickering has too much independence of soul to give this explanation, it cannot be controverted. If these facts be true—and I believe them such—we cannot but infer from
them, that, admitting the letter from which I have taken my quotation to be a true copy of its original, we ought to let it lie on the table.
It is matter of much regret, that we, as a people, should fix our political reliance on men, and not on measures. But, unhappy this I fear has become, almost a necessary situation—and I must take my part in it—Gore; sincerely believing him the most dependent and best qualified republican in the two candidates held out here for the federal republican ticket; for which belief, that if this ticket succeed, we have less of political concealment—less of political hypocrisy—less of political swindling—and more of broad day political truth and honesty, than we should by supporting the ticket which is intended to support Mr. Lincoln.
BY THE LAST MAIL.
NEW YORK, April 19.
Brig Cumberland, Meserve (of Portland) sailed two days before for N. York. Left at Liverpool March 6, the following vessels bound to America—ship Ann, Bradford, destination unknown; ship Ann, Nutcombe of Boston; barque Mary, Bradford, of Boston for Philadelphia; brig Ann Cauldwell of New York; and schooner Mary, Davis, of Gloucester for Philadelphia. April 15, lat. 39 37, long. 63 30, spoke the ship New York Packet, Simpson, 5 days from New York, for St. Michaels; 17th spoke a brig, 3 days from Boston, for St. Jago de Cuba. April 14, lat. 43 25, long. 51 W. fell in with 2 or 300 mountains of ice, and some of them very large.
Latest from Europe.
Last evening arrived at this port the brig Cumberland, capt. Meserve, in 44 days from Liverpool, which place the vessel left on the 6th of March, and capt. M. has politely favoured the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of the London Courier to the evening of the 3d of March, from which we have copied the following articles of intelligence.
Our London papers are nearly filled with the examination of witnesses against the Duke of York.
LONDON, March 1.
A question was asked by Mr. Ponsonby, in the House of Commons yesterday, whether the treaty which had been said to be on the eve of being concluded with Spain, had been as yet ratified? And 2d. whether the report to which he had alluded on a former night, viz. that the force sent from Lisbon had been refused admission into Cadiz was true or not.
Mr. Canning replied to the first question that the ratification of the treaty had not been received; and to the second that he could not give any precise answer, though he did not know of any such circumstance having taken place.
The gallant sir David Baird is immediately to be elevated to the peerage with the title of Viscount.
Sir John Moores family are to have pensions.
Gen. Hope is to be made a Baronet, and get the first Red Ribbon.
CORK, February 26.
The expedition to sail from this port will we understand be under the command of major general Beresford. It will consist of 6 regiments, their destination is not mentioned. The transports have not yet arrived for their embarkation.
The troops under major general Sherbrooke, still remain at Cove, waiting for instructions to proceed on their destination.
March 3.
Peace between Great Britain and Turkey. Probability of a war between Austria and France.
Dutch papers arrived this morning to the 28th ult. They contain very important intelligence—War between Austria and France is openly spoken of, and an article in the Leyden paper, of the 27th, informs us of the measures which have been adopted by the cabinet of Vienna; measures which can only have been adopted in the contemplation of an immediate war.
Peace has certainly been concluded between Turkey and Great Britain. It was signed by the Turkish minister, Hakki Effendi, and Mr. Adair. A fresh insurrection had broken out at Constantinople, and the peace with England is said, in an article from Vienna, to have been the immediate consequence of it. The Russian generals, as soon as they were informed of the event, broke off all negotiation with the Turks.

A letter from Liverpool, per the brig Cumberland, of the 6th ult. to a merchant of this city, states, that Bonaparte had declared the port of Leghorn, and Florence, open to a free trade. From the highly respectable channel through which this news reaches us, we are not inclined to withhold our belief of it.
N. York paper, April 21.
By the Spanish schooner Havanna, arrived yesterday, in 17 days from Havanna, we understand, that several American vessels which had sailed since the 16th of the last month, had arrived; among them the Caroline, Davis, from this port; the consequence was a great fall in American, and rise in the Island produce. Flour was at 15 dollars, and dull. The insurrection excited much uneasiness—its real object or extent was difficult to be ascertained by foreigners.
N. York Mer. Ad.
The way to make a great smoke!
Take 11,350 segars, and convert them into one huge mammoth segar—then take 56,116 Spanish milled dollars, and make thereof a segar tube—then place the great segar in the great tube—light the segar with the constitution—and set a great General to smoking!—The smoke thus produced has been administered by a great philosopher as a soporific, under the pretence that it was intended to kill insects which were said to be gnawing at the root of the tree of liberty: but it has proved a sovereign remedy for weak and disordered eyes, and has been known to cure total blindness!

"The expedition in my last report, became more necessary, as before the troops put themselves in motion, intelligence was received of the Cossacks appearing in great force, and one of our out posts having been driven in.
"The troops ordered on that expedition reached Kumlinge on the 29th of last month and after they had succeeded in driving the enemy out of the place and its environs, the most valuable part of the enemy's property and the inhabitants was saved. The object of the expedition having thus been obtained, the troops returned to their quarters in Aland.

LONDON, March 4.
Extract of a letter from captain Bayes, of the ship Harmony, dated
CARLSRONA, January 29.
"There are about 60 sail in this port, bound to England. The last convoy sailed from hence on the twenty-second, with the Salcette frigate, but only nine vessels got out of the ice. I sailed on the fifth, under convoy of the Orion man of war, and three brig cutters, with about seventy sail. The fleet was dispersed in all directions. The Orion brought up under Bornholm, with 14 sail only. Nearly half of the fleet were missing. I saw the Danes, capture two of them. We have of 20 being captured, and four lost. On the 14th arrived here in company with about 14 sail; on the 16th, 17th, and 18th, about 20 more returned."
BALTIMORE, April 22.
Arrived, ship Messenger, Quimby, 11 days from Havana. The Messenger left this since the raising of the embargo. No news. There was a combination among the purchasers of flour not to buy for a certain time, with a forfeiture of 1000 dollars on those that broke it.
Extract of a letter from the Havana (by the Messenger) dated
HAVANNA, April 10.
A week ago, the brig Bianchy, from Baltimore, arrived here. The result of her voyage is yet doubtful. The ultimate intention of this government is unknown; but a duty of about eleven dollars a barrel on flour will be imposed, and 50 per cent. on all other American articles which can or have been supplied from Vera Cruz or Campeachy. They will grant a drawback, however, on all such articles, including flour, which may be re-shipped, in any bottoms within sixty days—after sixty days, the drawback will still be allowed when re-shipped in Spanish vessels.
We know not what to ask for flour; will not take less than 20 dollars. Produce has not risen much—white sugars 4 50 to 5 dollars; brown 2 50 to 3. Duty on wine and all dry goods, except cotton, 22 per cent. (formerly 34 to 38.)
There are about 9 or 10,000 bbls. Flour in the market.
A letter from Havana of the 3th instant, states that 50 sail of American vessels from the United States had arrived there within that week, among which was the brig Blanche, Richardson, from Baltimore. A duty of ten dollars per bbl. on flour had been laid by the government to enable the holders of it that had bought at advanced prices to dispose on equal terms. Owing to the Holy days no business had been done; no sale of flour had been effected; the price remained unfixed. Sugars (brown) had risen from one and a half to four dollars.
The following which is from the Philadelphia Gazette, gives a different reason for laying high duties.
A letter from Havanna says: "In consequence of Spanish vessels not being permitted to bring cargoes from the U. States, it is in contemplation to double the duties on all American imports."

His royal majesty has received the following reports:
"In consequence of several reports having been received, stating that Russian Cossacks had made their appearance in Kumlinge, and other neighboring places, I have ordered a new expedition against Kumlinge under the command of lieut. col. Schutzenheim, consisting of 600 foot of the first and third brigade, and 80, horse of the Life Guards, with two 3 pounders. The corps moves this day to Wardoe, in order to reach Kumlingen to-morrow in three columns, early in the morning. The object of this expedition was to dislodge the enemy from the above places, to save the most valuable part of the moveable property of the inhabitants, and destroy the rest.

Peace with Turkey was signed on the 5th January. An article from Arragon, dated the 11th February, mentions that there are 40,000 men in arms defending Saragossa; that Ju-men is besieging it; that the works and trenches are pushed on to the gates of the town, and a bombardment kept up without intermission. The enemy hope to force the place to surrender by famine more than by force of arms.
LINTZ, Feb. 8, (by way of France.)
The anxiety which the reports of a new war in Austria had occasioned, has been augmented by the late measures of the court of Vienna. It is certain that some light corps are to be formed, which will be sent to join different regiments. Other military preparations are likewise making, and magazines are forming in Bohemia and Austria. M. Fashender, who in the late campaigns was principal commissary to the Austrian army, has been again appointed to that post, and the count de Guine, formerly adjutant general to the Archduke Charles, has been appointed adjutant to the emperor. The Archduke Ferdinand is to take the chief command of an Austrian army in Bohemia, if war should break out, and count Bellegarde will command an army in Cwinthia and Carniola. In the mean time several generals who commanded on the Turkish frontiers have been recalled to Vienna. Many persons however doubt, whether the Archduke Charles approves the measures of the court, and will be willing to enter into a new war. In the conferences which have been held on the subject, and at which both that Prince and the Archduke Ferdinand, the brother of the Empress, were present, it is said, a new general levy was spoken of, and different measures proposed to render it agreeable to the people. Those most experienced in military affairs estimate the whole of our regular troops at 143,000 men; but it is not practicable to find a train of artillery sufficient for an army of 60,000 men.

VIENNA, February 11.
A courier sent off by our internuncio at Constantinople, M. Sturmer, has brought intelligence to the government of a new insurrection of the Janissaries which has been very bloody, and by which the Porte was obliged to conclude a peace with England. The Courier left Constantinople on the 16th January. The first consequence of this event has been that the Russian generals have broken off all communication with the Turks.
The Gazette contains the following article under the head of Turkey:
On the 5th of January, peace was concluded between England and the Sublime Porte, by the British minister Mr. Adair & Hakki Effendi, in consequence of which all the ports in the Turkish empire are open to the English ships. This important intelligence was immediately transmitted to the principal commercial towns in Europe, Asia and Africa, and a great change may be expected in the great towns of the Levant, and the prices of most commodities.—London Courant, Feb. 28.
The Brest fleet have put into Rochefort. The object of the Brest fleet was, in the first instance, to surprise our squadron off Rochefort, consisting of four sail of the line, then to join the Rochefort, and proceed from thence to Ferrol, where, united to the Ferrol squadron, their combined force would have amounted to 20 sail of the line. It has been reported that on their return passage to Rochefort, the Brest fleet called off L'Orient, and were joined by the squadron there—but this, we understand, is not the fact; they made their way direct to Rochefort. The enemy had no sooner got into Basque roads than admiral Stopford was joined by three sail of the line, which had been blockading L'Orient. The admiral has now under him the Cæsar, Donegal, Defiance, Triumph, Valiant, Revenge and Theseus. He would soon be joined by the division under admiral Duckworth, which had been dispatched by lord Gambier to cruise off cape Finisterre, his lordship very naturally supposing that the enemy would push for Ferrol. The Caledonia, his lordship's ship, supplied admiral Duckworth with all her provisions, which obliged her to return to Plymouth to procure a fresh supply. The frigates belonging to the Brest fleet were a good way behind the line of battle ships, and hence we were enabled to drive them under the batteries of the Sables d'Olonne. The Cæsar was left keeping up a tremendous fire upon them, and it was hoped would be able to effect their destruction. The Brest fleet was in Basque roads, & expectations, as we stated yesterday, are entertained that their capture or destruction may be effected.
Our communication with Sweden and the Baltic is at length opened, and this morn-

LEE'S ELIXIR!!
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptions. A single trial of this medicine will prove its efficacious quality in restoring a perspiration common to healthy people; it dislodges and expels the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthening the weakened vessels of the lungs, thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms of course are effectually and permanently conquered. The great number of cures performed in 1808 by this elegant and useful preparation, is sufficient to astonish and convince those that labor under colds, coughs, consumptions, &c. of being immediately relieved, without saying any thing of the many thousands benefited in former years; however for the information of those persons, if any there be, that have not heard of the balsamic qualities of Lee's Elixir , we give the names of the following persons, who are well known to our citizens in general as persons of integrity and strict veracity. From the following certificates it will plainly appear, that a three year's consumption, a common cold or cough, are all with ease removed by Lee's Elixir .
Messrs. R. Lee and Son,
The superior qualities of your medicine, called Lee's Elixir , induces me to give you this certificate for publication, to point to my suffering fellow mortals the road to health, the most valuable of all earthly possessions. For upwards of three years I have been afflicted with a severe cough, tightness of the breast, lowness of spirits, and a gradual wasting of the flesh; having tried different medicines recommended for such cases, without receiving any real benefit; fortunately one of your advertisements was given to me—I immediately applied to Mr. Vance, 173, Market street , for some of your Elixir, which has contrary to the expectations of my friends restored me to my former good state of health. Any other information will be given by me.
George Harwood, Market street, Baltimore.
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish for the good of others, the benefit I have received from your excellent preparation called Lee's Elixir . Being afflicted with violent pains in the breast, loss of appetite, and a debility of the whole system, which rendered me unable to attend to business, being advised to try your Elixir, I procured two bottles of Messrs Warner and Hanna , which has entirely removed the complaint, and restored me to a perfect state of health. From the good effect of your Elixir I was led to suppose your other medicines were equally efficacious, which induced me to give your Worm Lozenges to my children, and with pleasure I inform you they had the desired effect. Any other information I shall give on application to me at my house in Sly's street, Baltimore.
John Keller.
In December last I was attacked with a most violent cough, a severe cough and pains in the breast, which continued to grow worse, and at such time my appetite failed, and I was altered so much, that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me, that much good had been done by the use of Lee's Elixir , advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs Warner and Hanna , which I accordingly did—and to those persons unacquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of the one bottle restored me to PERFECT HEALTH.
