PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations,
Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shown to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

TO HOPE.
COME Hope, thou little cheating sprite, And let us set this matter right; Come thou to me, Or I to thee, No matter, so we but agree.
You told me, Phillis would be true, I trusted her, I trusted you; She prov'd a jade, I was betray'd, And this was one sly trick you play'd.
You promis'd me to launch a dart At Parthenissa's stubborn heart; You swore 'twould hit, The deuce a bit; It miss'd—you told a second tit.
You said, base Imp, that I should find, Belinda best of woman kind; The knot was ty'd, She was my bride; She was my plague—again you ly'd.
A thousand fibs you've vow'd and swore, And fibb'd and flatter'd o'er and o'er; Though all was vain, It lull'd my pain: Then come—and cheat me o'er again.
FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Talleyrand's Memoir. —The object of the memoir is to point out to the Institute, and through the Institute, it is supposed, to the French government, the means of acquiring to France political and commercial influence in the United States. In both respects the prince of Benevento affirms, that at the peace of 1783, Louis the 16th was guilty of a capital fault. "What, he asks, did France do at that period? She was fearful that the same principles of Independence , which she had protected by her arms in America, should introduce themselves amongst her own people, and, at the conclusion of peace, she discontinued and discouraged all connexion with that country. What did England do? She forgot her resentment; she re-opened speedily her ancient communications, and rendered them more active."
It would seem odd, did not reflection step in to correct delusive appearances, that France should assist the colonies in acquiring those principles of freedom, of the propagation of which amongst her own people she was so very apprehensive. But, as has always been remarked, but not always believed, two motives, both sinister, dictated the assistance. France saw in the revolution, or thought she saw, a fine opportunity for abridging the ascendant power of England by a separation of the colonies from her, and relying upon her superior dexterity in negotiating, she meditated the acquisition to herself of at least a moiety of the territory which now constitutes the U. S.—Possibly it was not within the purview of the prince of Benevento's memoir, but certainly he has omitted to notice the fact, that when the treaty of peace of 1783 was upon the tapis, the most artful attempts were made by the French court to wrest from the U. S. the fisheries, and to secure to France, besides the fisheries, all the territories east of the Mississippi as far as the Alleghany mountains. Congress, with more faith than sagacity, had passed a resolution binding our commissioners not to conclude a treaty with England without the previous consent of France, and France, adroitly availing herself of this error, carried on, unknown to our commissioners, a clandestine correspondence with the British government, proposing, in fact, to that government, to cheat the U. S. by collusion out of one half of her present dominions. This infamous scheme, clearly demonstrating the selfish views of France in leading their arms to separate the colonies from England, was defeated by the vigilance, the discernment, & the firmness of Mr. Jay, one of the commissioners, who discovering the underplot, and uniting his efforts to those of Mr. Adams, one of his colleagues, dispensed with the resolution of Congress; and manifesting to the French court a determination to conclude the peace with or without its consent, accomplished that essential object. See the causes assigned to Congress by our commissioners for departing from their binding resolution. Here was attempt enough on the part of France to acquire a preponderating influence, both political and commercial over the U. S.; for if the perfidy of the French court had succeeded; if England had colluded with it, and it was not her interest to do so , I know not that we could have resisted for a year the arts and arms of the despot who now tyrannizes over the continent of Europe. France, in possession of our fisheries, and of our territory from the Mississippi to the Allegany, would have found means to obtain the rest. In every part of the world Napoleon has his
Duans. In no one are his minions more numerous and powerful than in the United States.
"As to the other causes, Talleyrand observes, they have taken such deep root, that it would perhaps require a French establishment in America to counteract their ascendancy with any hopes of success. Undoubtedly such a POLITICAL project should be overlooked; but it does not belong to the subject of this memoir ."
It is then settled. There must be a French establishment in America . Such a political project is not to be overlooked. Can we be too cautious when a statesman so subtle and mischievous is meditating the establishment in our neighborhood of a power so tremendous? If ever Napoleon obtains a footing upon this continent, we are undone. A rapid dissemination of his deadly poison for which in an eminent degree we are pre-disposed, would prepare us for the fatal blow. He wants "ships, colonies, and commerce." Where shall his colonies be? Spain, I fear, is conquered. We have winked and blinked at her subjection; the late President has indirectly, and as directly, as he could, aided the tyrant's arms. The colonies of Spain, if they do not become independent , will follow the fate of Spain. South America unfit for a republic may become an independent monarchy. The Island of Cuba, assisted by the British fleet, may assume and maintain independence. East and West Florida, bordering upon us, cannot, their population is insufficient. Shall they fall under the dominion of the grand despot? How dreadful is thought! On the final conquest of Spain, and God grant that she may never be conquered—the Floridas should belong to us : all Europe ought to be excluded from them. They must either be purchased or conquered. We cannot buy them. Bonaparte, having compelled us to repeal an act of Congress taking in West Florida as far as the Perdido, has already refused to sell.—We must take them. But very little fighting will be necessary. Every consideration of safety will shortly point out this course. Spain cannot survive the destruction of Austria, and Austria, single handed, is unable successfully to combat the tyrant. At present, France, in point of open force is impotent to us, and if when decision shall be necessary, and it assuredly ere long will be, we do not temporise; if we are faithful to ourselves, faithful to our interest, faithful to our safety, we may defy her power and counteract her seductions.
FROM THE N. Y. COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
President Adams and his Son.
Concerning these gentlemen, we have hitherto said very little. But such has been the conduct of the Father, no doubt counselled and aided by the Son, that it becomes the duty of every honest man to bear testimony against their misrepresentations, and their malignant attempts to dishonor the character of our departed patriots. The honest mind is led to enquire—what has induced these men, at this late day, to go over to the ranks of democracy, and to asperse the conduct and the motives of their former political friends? The conduct and the motives, which they now alledge, (and which they offer as the groundwork of their changing of party) if they existed at all, existed ten years ago. Why then did these honest gentlemen adhere to the federal party for eight of the ten years, and conceal so long, such baseness from the public eye? If what they alledge be true, and if what is true be so exceedingly criminal as they now represent, by publishing it at this time, after having screened it so long, they are publishing their own disgrace. Their sentiments bear on their face evident marks of misrepresentation and malvolence. What, then, has prompted them to their late extraordinary conduct? Let the following from the Baltimore North American give the answer.
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
Old Mr. Adams and his son have perched themselves upon the reputations of the dead Ames and Hamilton, and not without reward. The son, after being removed from the senate, by his own state, for his dishonorable abandonment of principles, has been appointed minister to the Russian Autocrat, and we shall probably soon hear of his setting out for France, according to his appointment. The reader need not stare.—Did not Mr. Short go to France under his secret commission by Mr. Jefferson to the same hopeful employment; and has not Mr. Dashkoff the Russian Charge, come to us via France? It is extremely easy to see where the pivot of all these transactions is to be found.
Little could the dim optics of J. Q. Adams discern what weather the political horizon promised the winter before last. His senatorial term was expiring whilst the legislature of his state was democratical, and no more distinguished for favor to the no-
ble family of Braintree or tolerance of party adverse to themselves, than the fore their brethren usually were. As before he could not perceive how the legislature could come to him he prudently determined to approach the legislature, was ushered to the world the famous of the committee in the affair of John of the Ohio, in which are to be found oppress marks of coincidence with the tative denunciation of the judiciary sarcasms upon that system of law by life and property are held and secured the most shameful and alarming preter depriving senators of their seats with due and fair scrutiny. These evid participation in the most violent and ganizing plans of the party, of which had commenced to be the convert, nat enough followed his votes for the emb and his notable declaration, that "when president recommended, he would berate, but he would act." When it sidered that the report in Smith's case tained a virtual renunciation of the principles of that science, of which he m profession, and that by voting to imp embargo upon his constituents, whose hood depended upon commerce, we comprehend somewhat of the extent which he was willing to sacrifice his own putation and the interests of his constitu to obtain the favor he sought. But, tell, his labor was in vain—it was than vain. He found himself count ing his own purpose. Indignant at the ly or treachery of their representatives, people of Massachusetts changed the m of their general court, and in the end Adams found himself possessed of not but a recommendation to removal. T took place, and he did not fail to man his mortification by resigning the rem of the term for which he had been orig appointed.
Here was a sad dilemma. He had nothing to look up to but the executing the general government. They were, ever, surrounded by men of greater tal and who had not tired in a longer cour party services. It was obviously diff to penetrate through such an host, w prior claims to distinction were indis ble. But "nothing was to be despaired in Mr. Adams's situation. He had onl add another seal to his separation from federal party. This has been so effectu done in the Boston democratic papers, the aid of his father, that whilst the n of Hamilton and Ames are dear to h and to their country, neither of the Adam can again pass current among federalis Let him therefore enjoy his wages. R tergiversation qualifies him to bend knee before Alexander, and to transmit indication of Bonaparte's pleasure. He proclaim his maxim—"I would not berate—I would act," to be translated the benefit of the courtiers of St. Cloud and they will not fail to recognise, an A rican preceptor, capable of giving instruction in their servile vocation.
PHILADELPHIA, July 12.
AMERICAN REPUBLICAN SOCIETY
On Tuesday, the 4th of July, the American Republican Society met at Bush Hill for the purpose of commemorating the day which announced the independence of our country. Five hundred persons sat down at an excellent dinner prepared by Mr. Craddock. Before the company took their places at table, the farewell address of GEORGE WASHINGTON, on retiring from public life, was read by a member of the Society, accompanied with a suitable introduction, and received with the loudest plaudor. A band of music was procured for the occasion, and captains Erringer and Somers companies of artillery honored the society with their attendance. At 3 o'clock a charge of cannon followed by "Hail Columbia," from the band announced the end of dinner. Edward Penington, esq. presided, and Samuel F. Bradford, Samuel Wheler, John Baker and Samuel M'Ferran, esq. scribes, acted as vice presidents of the day. A flag bearing the motto "For our Country" waved to the breeze over the president and the different states were represented by standards displayed at convenient distance round the table. During the festival, the greatest harmony was preserved, and no diversity of sentiment marred the hilarity of the day. At 7 o'clock the company marched in procession to the state-house yard, with colors and music, whence they dispersed in peace and quietness to their respective homes.
After dinner the following toasts were received with enthusiastic applause.
1. The day we commemorate—Its cost the blood of thousands—Its worth, the happiness of millions.
Tune: Hail Liberty, supreme delight 3 guns: 6 cheers.

2. Our Country—Free, sovereign and independent. May its administration seek peace HONESTLY; do justice STRICTLY, and maintain its rights FIRMLY.
Tune: Hail Columbia 6 guns—7 cheers.
3. James Madison—The man who can truly distinguish between the praises of the wise and the good, and the shouts of a mob. May he persevere in well doing, unawed by action.
Tune: Madison's March 3 guns—6 cheers.
4. The memory of general George Washington: Though no tribute of national gratitude, yet dignifies the grave of our hero: Fame has consecrated the spot where he lies and the lustre of his name, will encrease to the latest period of recorded time.
Tune: Roslin Castle 6 minute guns—17 flags slowly waving.
5. The State of Pennsylvania—powerful and respectable—able to maintain her own rights, may she never attempt to violate the rights of others.
Tune— Yankee doodle 3 guns—6 cheers.
6. The memory of the heroes, who fell in the cause of American independence.—They died on the fields of honor. Their deeds will live in the records of glory.
Tune— Dead march in Saul 3 minute guns.
7. Dr. Benjamin Rush and George Clymer, Esq. The two surviving representatives of the state of Pennsylvania, who signed the declaration of independence. Firm to their purpose, in the days that tried men's souls. Posterity will cherish the remembrance of their services.

Tune— Solemn Dirge 1 gun.

15. The Militia of the United States:
"What are fifty, what a thousand slaves, Match'd to the sinews of a single arm That strikes for liberty."
Tune— Stony Point ; 3 guns.
16. The Washington Benevolent Society of the city of New York—unanimity in its laudable exertions, crowned with an honorable result.
3 guns.
17. The Fair Sex—
"Oh Woman in our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy and hard to please, And variable as the shade, By the light quivering of the aspen made, When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou."
Tune— Ma chere amie .
VOLUNTEERS.
A letter was read from commodore Truxton, a member of the Society, informing that he was unable to join with the society in the celebration of the day, owing to absence from the city, and requesting that the following toast might be given as a volunteer to him, which was done by the President. James Madison, president of the U. S.—was a zealous advocate, in the general convention for framing the present constitution of the U. S. He facilitated by his arguments and eloquence its adoption in the convention of Virginia: He, in conjunction with those well tried and honorable patriots,
John Jay and Alexander Hamilton, organized the departments of government, and with them timely wrote the able and meritorious numbers under signature of FEDERALIST—He promptly for the honor and interest of United America, accepted the overture of Great Britain for a settlement of our differences with her, the only nation on earth that can materially injure us. His private character is fair and upright. Let us hope then, that in his public career at the head of the national government, he will "correct the procedure of his predecessor," Thomas Jefferson; that by his justice and independence, party distinctions may thereby subside, and the whole community of our country become one undivided people, feeling just cause to say: Madison , you sir like our departed Washington , as president of the U. States deserved well of your country.
The Society of the Cincinnati of the state of Pennsylvania—In action as in name, like the patriotic Roman whose name they bear, who after a successful defence of his country's rights, laid aside the habiliments of war, and returned to the peaceful occupation of private life.

PHILADELPHIA, July 13.
Capt. Gardner from Lisbon arrived at Beverly, left there May 31, ship Thomas, Harper, from Alexandria; Henry, Magher, of Salem for England. Spoke ship Belvidera, 5 days from Fayal, for Philadelphia. The brig Sally, Johnson for Boston, sailed in company with the two Botsics.
A letter has been received in this city, via Laguira, dated Cadiz, May 30th, 1809, which confirms the accounts of the Spanish and Austrian successes—repeats the evacuation of Catalonia by the French—and says, that such was the distress of the French troops in Andalusia, from the plague, that they had solicited relief in medicines from the Spanish government.

From Portugal.
Last evening arrived, captain Maffit, from Lisbon, which he left the 6th of June, in company with the ship Paragon, arrived at New York. He informs that it was reported and confidently believed at Lisbon, that a treaty of alliance was concluded between England and Russia, from whence it is concluded that the Russians will take a part against France. It was further said that after the first defeats of the Austrians, Bonaparte advanced towards Vienna, and when within 50 leagues of it, was attacked by the Austrians, who in turn obliged the French to retreat.
Capt. M. further says that marshal Wellesley, having incorporated the English and Portuguese troops, by putting them by companies alternately, to make up his regiments, marched to Oporto, and demanded the surrender of the town, which Soult obstinately and peremptorily refused, when Wellesley prepared for an assault, which Soult perceiving, fled from the town & crossed the river on a bridge of boats, which was prepared but by some mistake or accident, fire was put to the train and blew up about 1000 of the rear of the French army, and 500 of the citizens who were taking their flight with the French. Soult and the remainder made their escape, as the English could not cross the river for some time.
When capt. M. left Lisbon, it was said and believed that there was not a Frenchman in the kingdom of Portugal, but such as were prisoners, the others have fled to Spain as fast as their legs would carry them—And it was said that the Spaniards were gaining ground every where, both in numbers and in conquests over the French, who were retreating every where, being worn down with fatigue, famine and disease.
Capt. M. has furnished us with a few Lisbon papers, from which we hope to have some extracts for our next.

Latest from Europe.
The following highly pleasing intelligence, was politely handed us by a gentleman from Montreal, where it was received by an arrival in a short passage from England, and immediately published in a hand bill.
Austrian Successes.
FIRST AUSTRIAN BULLETIN.
Dated Head-Quarters, Sacile, April 17.
"On the 10th and 11th, his imperial highness the archduke John, with the army under his command, entered the territory of Frioule, by Ponteba, Cividale, & Gortz, and, after some opposition, advanced on the 13th to the Tagliamento. The enemy retired across the river, in order to join with the troops in their rear. This junction, which probably took place at Sacile, made the hostile army five divisions strong. In the night of the 14th, his imperial highness proceeded with the advanced guard towards Pordenone: the remainder of the army followed at day break. The enemy's advanced guard was at Pordenone, and his army was posted between that place and Sacile, near Fontana. Here an action commenced, which after a sanguinary contest of two days, terminated entirely to our advantage. The vice-King of Italy commanded the French army. The result was so decisive, that the enemy could not maintain themselves behind the Livenza, but were obliged to retreat rapidly to the Piave. The prisoners amount already to 6000, among whom are Generals Paze and Bressan. More are constantly brought in. The loss in killed and wounded greatly exceeds this number, and we have taken 16 cannon and 3 eagles!"
LONDON, May 15.
There have arrived since our last some more French Journals and German Gazettes to the 5th inst. They do not enable us to add a single important fact to the intelligence exclusively published by us on Saturday relative to the successes of the Austrians in the Tyrol, in Italy and in Poland; and from the enemy's army in Germany, the accounts by this conveyance are not of so late a date as those which we also gave in our last from the third bulletin of the French army. The Austrian bulletin of the first successes of the archduke John in Italy, fully confirms our former statement upon this subject. The enemy commanded by the vice king of Italy in person, were completely defeated with the loss of 6000 prisoners, and a still greater number in killed and wounded, besides sixteen pieces of cannon and three eagles. Among the prisoners taken are generals Paze and Bressan. The Paris & Milan papers attempt to give a different coloring to the result of this affair, but the Austrian accounts bear so many features of truth, that credence cannot be denied them, in preference to the obviously un candid statements of the enemy. The Austrians give geographical proofs of their having in the first instance considerably advanced; whilst, with all the pretensions of the enemy the utmost they can assert is that they maintain a position on the Piave. In Italy, therefore, affairs wear a promising aspect on the part of the Austrians, the more especially as the
improved state of the Tyrol (as described in our last) is so highly favorable to their cause. We have nothing to add to the account we gave on Saturday of the capture of Warsaw by the Austrian army of the archduke Ferdinand, except that a Polish regiment laid down their arms at Tarczyn and that the garrison of Warsaw, on its retreat to Kalish, had been pursued for 2 days, and that many prisoners were taken.
In Germany, we learn by advices bro't on Saturday by an Austrian messenger who left Heligoland on the 10th inst. that the archduke Charles so late as the 28th ult. continued on the Regen between Chaim and Stollwang, where he was joined by the divisions of General Klenau and Bellegarde, and a corps of reserve under General Norman. The divisions of Generals Hiller, St. Vincent and Kienmayer, had also joined him, and thus augmented the army under the immediate command of the Archduke, to 160,000 men. Wirtzburg is reported to have been occupied by a detachment under Count Klenau, and it was added that another corps had taken possession of Dresden. We know not what degree of credit to attach to these statements, but hope they will prove correct. At all events, we trust that Bonaparte will shortly have to repent for his temerity in having advanced so far, leaving in a manner the formidable army of the archduke Charles in his rear, and in this hope we are encouraged by all the private advices received by the last conveyance. The Emperor of Germany, we are happy to find is not in the least dismayed by the result of the first operations in Bavaria. His imp. majesty has issued a proclamation from Lintz, in which he calls out the second or reserve militia of Austria, intending to place himself at their head. The Hungarian insurrection army has been assembled at Presburg and every measure of his government evinces a determination and energy corresponding with the danger which menaces his throne.
Private advices state that the insurrection in Hussia has become very formidable. One account says:—"At Grumberg, Lambach, Marburg, and some other places, the people had disarmed the military, and hanged several of the government agents charged with the execution of the obnoxious decree. Some squadrons of horse which had been sent to the camp at Hanover, and a division of infantry which had been ordered to Elze, have been recalled by forced marches. The spirit of discontent is not confined to Hussia—it extends through Hanover and Brunswick, Wetteravia, and Thuringia, and only waits a favorable occasion to burst into action. Col. Doenbergs, of the Westphalian rangers directed the malcontents; there are some reports of his arrest; but the accounts represent him at the head of a numerous and well organized force."
"We are enabled to state as a positive fact, that an American gentleman in Amsterdam, has written to his friend in New York, by the late arrival there from Amsterdam, that he had received a letter from general Armstrong our minister at Paris, advising him to remit his money to England, or America, without any delay, as he, general Armstrong, had finally made up his mind to leave France immediately and return to America."

Just Published, FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED  ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE. Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well-known author of the Castle Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents. What black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil— Avaunt, thou dreadful Minister of Hell. RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlop; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our mod- ern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers. NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, by Lewis. June 7.—21
