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 years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is 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 250 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 something 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.

And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.

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.

FOREIGN.
From the Boston Centinel of the 7th inst. we selected the following additional articles of information received by the Arcturus from Spain.
The passengers differ in their computation of all the French troops which had evacuated Spain at the time they sailed—Some making them amount to 120 000: While others, among them a military gentleman, who was frequently in conversation with the French officers, estimate them at about 150 000; nearly two thirds of which were conscripts of 1808, and 1810, and militia from the seacoasts. The residue, French troops of the line, Italians, Germans and Poles. The greater part of these troops were marched into Spain, under Murat, before the rising of the Spaniards: and were scattered over various provinces, the main body being in the vicinity of Madrid:—At the time our informants left France very few were on the march to Spain, all the southern departments having been exhausted of their troops. Bonaparte had not anticipated any opposition in Spain, which the forces abovenamed, and first posted therein, could not quell; and therefore very few of his troops composing his Grand Army, in the North, had been marched thither.
The French troops had made no new acquisition since they had been opposed by the Spanish patriots: and the mode of separating them into detachments having been found extremely injurious to them, they were about to concentrate these detachments into two grand armies, and alter the plan of operations. For this purpose the French troops which had taken possession of St. Andero, had been withdrawn; and were marching towards Burgos, where one of the armies was to assemble. About 50 000 were in the vicinity of Madrid. The division of the French which had at first marched into Arragon, was commanded by gen. Lefebvre:—we have before learnt, it was opposed by the Arragonians, in advance of Saragossa, and discomfited on the 15th June. It appears from the Gazette extraordinary of Saragossa that from that time to the first day of July, the French and Spaniards had been several times engaged and that the greater part of the French had been destroyed. The Spanish loss too had been very great, though readily and immediately replaced. The Spanish Gazette says the Spaniards perform miracles never known in a people so undisciplined. A letter from Lefebvre had been intercepted, in which, he requests the emperor to proclaim that Arragon, &c. &c. had been reduced to obedience, that he was in want of reinforcements.
The account, by this arrival, of the state of the French division, under Dupont are not later than those previously received by us from the south of Spain; they, however, corroborate the intelligence, of his having been powerfully opposed at Cordova, and of his having been compelled to retreat to Andalusia where he had been pursued by a force which made his destruction unavoidable.
The parts of Spain in possession of the French, at the date of the last accounts, and the principal part of which they treacherously occupied as friends and allies, are the small districts of Navarre, Gulpuscoa, and Biscay, on the frontier next to France; the vicinity of the road leading from Bayonne to Madrid, through New and Old Castile, the cities of Burgos, Barcelona, and all those places which were occasionally overrun and evacuated by the flying detachments of their forces; the whole of which possessions does not amount to a sixth part of the kingdom. Marshal Murat, remained at Bayonne, where he had been sick, but was on the recovery;—General Souvary commanded in Madrid:—General Lefebvre had been making unsuccessful attempts to capture Saragossa;—General Moncey had gone against Valencia;—and General Dupont had commanded the detachment which had been directed against Cadiz. The conscripts had been hurried into Spain by forced marches; and it was said many of them had become a prey to the diseases incident to Spain, in hot weather.
All the other parts of Spain were in open revolt against France, had sworn allegiance

and the most deadly hatred... Ferdinand VII and the most deadly hatred of the French. It was computed, that there were between 4 and 500,000 Spanish Patriots in the field, 50,000 of which are stated to be cavalry, variously armed; but the greater part with muskets, many of which had been supplied by the English;—that the Spanish regular troops were amongst the foremost in rallying under the Patriotic standards;—that such of them as were in the districts occupied by the French, embraced every opportunity to desert, in small bodies, to join their brethren in arms; instances of this occurred at St. Sebastian, where 2000 of the garrison had gone into the interior. The patriots were going into the interior. Their spirit had not abated; and they expressed a confidence in the ultimate success of their attempts to preserve the liberty, independence and religion of their country. The resistance made by the Arragonese against Lefebvre is a specimen of the desperate courage with which they combat—the patriot troops were well paid, and they had received much instruction from the 30000 Prussian prisoners, which Buonaparte, two years since, ordered to be sent into Spain.

VERMONT ELECTION.
On Tuesday the 6th inst. the freemen of Vermont elected their Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Councillors, Representatives and Members of Congress.
A gentleman from Brattleboro', informs us, that the votes in that town were 285 federal, and 25 democratic. This town has always been federal, but has never, till now, given more than 200 votes. In Hinsdale, federal 63 democratic 11. This town has been considered democratic.
A letter from Walpole, says, "In Westminster there has been a great change in favor of federalism. Mr. TICHENOR's majority for Governor is 40, Mr. HUBBARD's for Congress 45, Mr. HALL's for State Representative, 22. [Westminster has heretofore been democratic.] There is no doubt the election in Vermont will result in the triumph of Federal Republicanism."
A letter from Spain says, "All the French detachments here are in a state of siege; and from the returns made to the Spanish Junta at Seville, by September we shall have twelve hundred thousand Patriots."
A letter dated 23d August, from a gentleman in Havanna, to his correspondent in Balt. gives the following information:
At a meeting of the junta, governor and council, they deliberated about shutting the port against the American trade, and such a measure was nearly agreed to. It was generally supposed that the ports on the Spanish Main, as well as in the Islands, would ere long be closed against Americans.
The following is copied from the Philadelphia Daily Advertiser of Monday.—Mr. Fatio's commission will bring our executive to the test, whether they will acknowledge the established government of Spain, or the attempted usurpation of Bonaparte.
Appointments by the Patriotic Government of Spain.
Marquis de Casso Calvo, captain general of the Interior Provinces of Mexico.
Captain Stephen Folk, aid-de-camp to the captain general.
Philip Fatio, Esq. consul general for South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia to reside in Charleston.
For the Alexandria Daily Gazette.
EUROPE AND AMERICA.
The times are wild; contention like a horse Pull of high feeding, madly hath broke loose, and bears down all before him.
SHAKESPEARE.
So rapidly do events succeed each other in this age of wonders, that the mind, bewildered and confounded, can scarcely unravel the maze, and the connexion between them. He who hath lived a year, hath lived ages: For in the compass of one short year, kingdoms are lost and won, dynasties overturned, empires "from their old foundations rent," and the situation of the world thoroughly changed, as if centuries had been consumed in the operation. The citizens of America should anxiously watch the progress of these mighty revolutions, lest, before they are aware of their danger, the tempest which has blasted the eastern continent, should extend its ravages to our peaceful shores. Let us view the state of Europe, then, at present—of Europe, torn and convulsed by internal commotions, groaning under the weight of a military despotism, and almost driven to desperation by multiplied calamities.
FRANCE,
The immediate author of all the ills which now afflict the human race, after wading thro' oceans of blood, has attained a degree of power which is dangerous to the liberty of the world. Her greatness is built upon superior skill, and the reputation of being invincible, acquired by a multitude of victories. Decked with the spoils, and bloated with the plunder of Europe, intoxicated with prosperity, and fondly imagining that nothing can withstand her power, she has played such antic tricks before high Heaven, as to astonish the universe. But let her beware: the wrath of the Almighty may not always sleep, and the same Providence which has made her the scourge of the nations, may have already decreed, that her fall shall be more sudden than her exaltation. There is a point of endurance beyond which human nature cannot go. The very worm that crawls in the dust will resist when trampled under foot; surely then man, the noblest work of the creator, when the hardly earned reward of his toil is snatched from his grasp—when he is torn from the bosom of his family, and compelled to fight in the ranks of a tyrant, against the real friends of his native land—when he is plundered, insulted, oppressed, derided and trampled on, will turn with furious indignation against his proud oppressors, will avenge on their heads his accumulated wrongs, and endued with all the omnipotence of despair, will be finally victorious. The example has been already set.
SPAIN.
Spain awaking from the sleep of centuries, and driven to desperation by the tyrannical conduct of proud, perfidious, France, has drawn the exterminating sword of vengeance, and calling upon heaven and earth to witness the justice of her cause, has nobly commenced the work of liberating the world from Gallic usurpation. May victory crown the efforts of the gallant patriots of Spain! May their arms be nerved with more than mortal energy! May they force the bloodhounds who now lay waste their country, to re-cross the Pyrenees with all their laurels withered.
AUSTRIA
Has not lost entirely that gallant spirit which has prompted her, more than once, to wage with France an unequal contest. But weakened by the disastrous campaign of 1805, in which her territory was covered by an enemy, who, like the all-destroying locust, desolates every region through which he passes, she has scarcely recovered enough to strike a decisive blow, to make a last effort for the salvation of Europe. If assured of the assistance of the other powers, however, she would doubtless, seize upon this opportunity to release herself from the degrading trammels imposed upon her by the treaties of Presburgh and Fontainbleau.
PRUSSIA
Has suffered shipwreck. Her masts, her rigging and her upper works have been swept away by the tempest: a battered, and leaky hulk, the poor remains of a noble ship, is tossed about, the sport of winds and waves, which threaten soon to destroy it.
RUSSIA,
Governed by a feeble and irresolute monarch, who forgets the glory of his ancestors, and sacrifices every thing magnanimous and noble to his base and unmanly fears, has deserted the cause which she seemed determined to support at the hazard of her very existence. She wages a dishonorable warfare with the gallant Swedes, in which, if she be unsuccessful, her military fame will be tarnished; if her arms be crowned with victory, disgrace will be her reward. But rumor declares that the Russians, displeased with the conduct of their ignoble sovereign, are determined upon renewing the war with France. The commencement of such a conflict would be the signal for a general insurrection against Gallic tyranny. The nations of Europe have discovered that the ameliorating policy of Bonaparte, is nothing less than the most insufferable oppression; and with such an ally as Russia to assist them, they would rise at once, and throw off a galling yoke. From Lapland to Portugal, from Holland to Turkey, the various tribes who compose the population of Europe, who have all felt the tyranny, or been insulted by the haughtiness of France, with one voice would cry aloud for vengeance.
SWEDEN,
Noble Sweden, has set a fair example to a degenerate world. Though oppressed by mighty odds, she has continued to war against tyrants, and if she must fall, will perish nobly, lamented by all who are alive to generous sympathy. The two extremities of Europe, like dissevered members, still quiver with a convulsive motion, although the body from which they were separated is a lifeless mass.
BRITAIN,
Styled by the Spaniard, the "Shield of afflicted humanity," presents the most formidable obstacle to the success of French ambition. Lately, cut off from the commerce of Europe and America, she seemed about to sink under accumulated disasters. But the hand of heaven has interposed to save her. The ports of Spain, Portugal and South America have been opened to her merchants: supported by commerce with these countries, and with her colonies, she will still rear her head against the oppressors of the human race. But whatever be the event of the bloody contest in which she is engaged, she has already earned a bright and unperishable fame: Her magna-
nimity in opposing an undaunted front to a world in arms, will be recorded in the fairest page of history. She has adopted a maxim to which the ancient Romans owed much of their fame in arms—Never to ask peace of a victorious enemy. And though she has sometimes deviated from the straight line of just and honorable policy, the peculiar difficulty and danger of her situation, should plead in her excuse with every generous mind.
SOUTH AMERICA,
It is probable, will soon occupy an important place in the political chart. Should Spain be conquered, her colonies will assume their proper rank among the independent nations of the earth. A change so momentous in the condition of so large a part of the human race opens an unbounded field for reflection, to the politician; for exultation to the philanthropist. But let us not forget our own country, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Alas! the picture which it presents is a melancholy one. We behold our government involved in disputes with foreign powers, from which it has neither wisdom nor firmness to extricate itself. We see commerce suspended; our navy destroyed; our sea coast unfortified; our militia unarmed; our constitution grossly violated. Yes, our sacred constitution, that noblest specimen of American genius, that best expounder of American rights, has been audaciously infringed by the publication and enforcement, of arbitrary, presidential mandates. And who are the men that have reduced us to a situation so truly calamitous? They are the very men, who, after destroying the federal administration by arts the most vile and detestable, promised so to govern our country that it should be long the greatest, the happiest and most prosperous on earth. By their deeds have we known them. And now that we do know them, now that we feel the deplorable consequences of their absurd and destructive policy, we still hesitate to withdraw from them our confidence. Pervious to every foot is the path of error—difficult to be found, by those who have once left it, is the road to truth. But the citizens of the United States, instructed in the school of adversity, will ere long return to the ways of wisdom, they will ere long learn that the pretended friends are often the worst enemies of the people.

DIED, at Sheffield, Mass. JOHN FELLOWS, in the 74th year of his age. Gen. Fellows was an old revolutionary officer.—He commenced his military career in the French war. In the revolutionary war, he had an early appointment to the command of a regiment, was promoted to the station of a brigadier on the island of New York under Gen. Washington, and commanded that portion of American militia, stationed on the east side of Huson's river when Gen. Burgoyne surrendered at Saratoga. Like most of our old patriots, his politics were of the Washington school—he was an honest and useful citizen—a real friend to his country—affectionate as a father, and sincere in his friendship.
