PROSPECTUS OF A PAPER
TO BE PRINTED IN ALEXANDRIA,
ENTITLED,
THE COLUMBIAN.
THE Subscriber, anxious to establish a Paper whose contents and principles will be satisfactory to the moderate of both parties, presents to his friends and the liberal public in general, the following outlines of his plan, hoping that they may be consonant with feelings warm in the defence of liberty and the true interests of the country.
The work will at all times be open to the discussion of political matters, destitute of rancor on the one hand, or of overweaning partiality on the other. The Editor's selec- tions shall be made with care and attention, ever sacrificing for any purpose the real in- terest of the community, or wandering from the established standard of truth.
In the natural course of affairs, it will sometimes be necessary, from a want of po- litical matter, that the columns of a paper should be supplied with moral disquisitions, practically useful and interesting, and instruc- tive anecdotes from historic research. Nor can this course be well objected to by those whose feelings are alive to the cause of ge- nuine morality and religion. The Editor calculates with confidence upon receiving from those whose education and means of in- formation will authorize it, a copious supply of materials on these subjects. His paper will be at all times open to receive the reflec- tions of the man of science, or the deep re- search of the critical scholar.
Communications upon all matters touch- ing Agriculture, Commerce and Manufac- tures, together with plans for the general improvement in Canals, public Roads, and the various discoveries in any branch of learn- ing or the mechanic arts, will be particularly sought after, and punctually inserted.
The editor, earnestly desirous to conciliate parties, will use his most strenuous endeavors to effect so desirable an object—and in the town of Alexandria, where he is attached by the strongest ties of nature, and of interest, he will ever consider it as a primary object, to destroy those seeds of dissention which have had the tendency to retard the growth and prosperity of the town. It is obvious to the most superficial observer, that the minu- tia of politics cause a difference of sentiment, and not those general and universally admi- red maxims in governmental institutions.
The principles of the great and illustrious Washington, together with his services, shall ever be revered.
The editor is far from desiring to impose on the minds of those who may favor him with their patronage, that his mind has as- sumed no stand on the important subject of politics, no! on the contrary, he unequivo- cally declares, that his sentiments are decid- edly republican.
As soon as 400 subscribers shall be obtain- ed this paper will be printed, weekly, at 2 1/2 50 cents per ann. payable, half yearly, in ad- vance, after the receipt of the first number.
It will be printed with a neat type, and on good paper of the ordinary size.
If adequate encouragement should be of- fered, after the commencement of the paper, it will be published three times a week.
Having made arrangements for the neces- sary materials, and contracted with a gentle- man of abilities to assist in the execution of the work, the citizens of Alexandria will be immediately waited on for their patronage— Subscription papers will also be left at the Cof- fee House and at the principal Book Stores,
T. Longden.

AN ADDRESS
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANU- FACTURES:
Tending to shew that by a due encourage- ment of these essential interests, the na- tion will be rendered more respec- table abroad and more prosper- ous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Ar- lington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. of Arlington House, in the District of Co- lumbia.
AT a time when the energies of the na- tion seem awakened to the state of our for- eign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a consi- derable share of the public discussion. Cer- tain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign af- fairs, and the present distressed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their sup- port. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our pro- vince to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and con- fidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

EXTRACTS.
LONDON, May 9—12.
Madrid Gazettes, and private letters from different parts of Spain have been received to the end of April. They mention, but we doubt their assertion, the arrival of the new king at Bayonne on the 26th of last month.—Bonaparte is said to have received him, with politeness, and to have invited him to dinner. But nothing has yet transpired which can enable us to throw any strong or steady light upon the intentions of Bonaparte. Private accounts say, that the new king has announced the principal object of his journey to be to marry a princess of the house of his august ally. And yet we are desired to believe that the chief motive which induced him to concur in a project for deposing his father, was to get rid of the influence of France! To Bayonne also the dethroned king and queen are travelling, preceded by the disgraced minister, the prince of peace, whom Murat withdrew from prison, and not suffering any judicial investigation to take place upon his conduct, which the new king had solemnly promised, sent him under an escort of French troops to Bayonne. What right have we then to believe that the motives of the new king are of the patriotic kind they have been said to be, or to expect that the effect of this revolution will be the destruction of French influence in Spain?—All probability and facts are against it. Bonaparte sends an order to Murat to transmit the fallen minister to him, and he is accordingly sent him. He hovers with a menacing attitude upon the frontiers of Spain, and preserves an awful silence, to be broken only when the accused and the accuser, the victor and the vanquished shall appear before him—He will not speak till the cause is bro't before him—SUB JU DICE LIT EST—And all the parties submit to this foreign tribunal! and a revolution which relates only to Spain, is to be tried and finally rejected by a French judge! and this judge has none of the attributes of justice about him—the most even scales, the severe impartiality—He has possession too of the capital and the strong fortresses of the country, whose monarchs are about to plead their cause before him—and who will find, no doubt, that he is the Gaul who will throw his sword into the scale, and thus decide the cause.
In every step which Bonaparte has taken in this eventful scene, he has displayed a studied contempt for Spain, a determination to do every thing to wound her pride, and to prove to her that he means to treat her as a conquered country. Whenever the least opposition has been made to his will, he had used force, as in the instance of seizing the fortress of Pampeluna and other places. The French troops are in want of clothes, and contributions are levied upon Madrid, though the notice published in the Madrid Gazette attempts to give it the air of a charitable donation—He will not even suffer her to retain the memorials and trophies of her ancient renown; but before he has set foot on the Spanish territory, demands the sword of Francis the First, which was surrendered by that monarch when he was taken prisoner at the battle of Pavia, and which had been kept with a pious reverence for nearly three centuries in the royal armoury of Spain. And this sword is immediately delivered to him by the new king, who is to restore the ancient glory and renown of Spain!
It is impossible therefore to consider the late revolution as having been brought about on the part of the new king with those feelings of patriotism that would make him use every effort for the deliverance of his country from the French yoke. We see nothing in him but the tool of France. The people are influenced by patriotic sentiments; they believe that measures will be changed because the monarch has been changed, and that because the old king was deposed on account of his attachment to a minister who was the tool of France the new king will pursue a very different system. Happy shall we be to find that their belief is well founded, but nothing has yet passed to justify us in entertaining such an expectation.
Madame Bonaparte is arrived at Bordeaux on her way to Bayonne; from whence, after the will of Bonaparte has been signified to the new and the old kings, she will proceed with her husband to Madrid, to see her daughter perhaps crowned queen of Spain! It has already been given out in general orders at Madrid, that the affairs of Sweden have alone delayed Bonaparte's entrance into Spain; but that now the French and Russian troops are on their way to Stockholm, he will no longer deny himself the pleasure of visiting a people for whom he feels so much respect and affection!
Since writing the above, we understand government have received intelligence that Bonaparte did not wait for the arrival of the new king at Bayonne. He advanced to meet him, and their meeting took place between Vittoria and the Spanish frontier. Bonaparte immediately acknowledged him King, and gave the administration of Portugal till a general peace.
neral peace. The deposed king and Queen have been sent into France, under a strong escort. Spain is to join the confederation of the Rhine, and to furnish a contingent of fifty thousand men. Other sacrifices of territory, she will, no doubt, be called upon to make.
There is no doubt, we believe, of the Toulon and Rochefort squadrons having got back to Toulon, without having effected any object of much importance.
An American vessel is arrived at Guernsey from a French port, which she left on the 2d. A few hours previous to her sailing, a letter had been received by express, informing the captain's correspondent that an order had actually arrived at Rochefort, from the minister of marine, to lay an embargo on all American vessels.
Since our last, information of a later date has been received from Sweden. Our brave ally is proceeding to the invasion of Norway, not without meeting resistance, but with a prospect of ultimate success. For the details, we refer to our foreign intelligence. We cannot but attach great importance to the conquest of Norway as a military operation, though we are aware of the resources it would furnish us with in the supply of timber, &c. It is only in one respect that it is of moment. The acquisition of that country cannot fail to have the most beneficial effect upon the public mind in Sweden. The Swedes are a people sensible of national honor; they are the inveterate foes of Denmark; and the exercise of dominion over one of the provinces of their adversary will certainly counteract the impression arising from the probable conquest of Finland. The date of our last intelligence from that grand duchy is of the 7th April. There is no further account of the asserted retreat of the Russians. It is probable they may be content to retain a military position within the frontier of the province. Masterly & admirable as has been the retreat of general Kluegenpor, it is not to be expected that he can with all his collected forces act on the offensive.
Dispatches were received on Saturday morning at the admiralty from sir Samuel Hood, dated from the Baltic, the 25th April, but they bring no news of importance. It was not to be expected that any enterprise would be formed by the fore-runners of our expedition. When our whole force shall have arrived, we may look forward to some decisive operation which may relieve us from all apprehension and the necessity of providing against the possibility of an attack from the North.
Zealand has been declared by our government in a state of blockade.
Accounts which may be relied upon, containing intelligence of a very late date, have been received from the French coast. The embargo laid upon all American vessels in the French ports, is stated to have been a measure carried into effect in conformity with the Bayonne decree. We understand, however, that pains have been taken in the drawing up the decree, to give it the color and air of a proceeding much less hostile to the Americans than at first was imagined. It is pretended that this act is to be considered as an act of kind consideration towards America—a precaution for the benefit of her citizens, to prevent their property being seized by the British; since it is notorious they cannot venture upon the high seas, without encountering the risk of becoming the prey of British cruisers.
We have received foreign journals up to 6th instant. They contain little of any moment.
A vessel arrived on Sunday from the coast of Holland, with a number of male passengers on board. The captain states, that he had taken them, together with some females, from a neutral port, with the intention of landing them in Holland, their native country, but so strict was the Dutch government, that it would permit no person to land in the first instance. After great intercession, however, in favor of the ladies, they were allowed to join their friends on shore. The captain proceeded with the other passengers to England. While the vessel was waiting the pleasure of the Dutch government, of course with its connivance, an Austrian passenger found his way on board, who was charged with dispatches from his government to this country. He landed at Falmouth on Saturday. None of the passengers besides the messenger and three women, were permitted to land.
A Dutch paper of the 30th ult containing accounts from Paris of the 26th, reached town on Friday, brought by a gentleman, who with difficulty escaped from Holland. They are not important. Letters received at the same time state, that king Louis had issued a decree since his arrival at Amsterdam, for the establishment of
measures of additional rigor against any communication with this country. They also mention that the captain and crew of a vessel which, some time since, conveyed an English gentleman from Holland (the honorable Cecil Jenkinson) were, on their return, thrown into prison, and it was supposed the former would be proceeded against as having been guilty of a capital offence. The transfer of the court to Amsterdam had diffused a temporary gaiety and splendor in that town; but the distress throughout the country is represented as general and increasing.
Accounts from Oporto have reached town to the 25th ult. It now appears, that the French allow shipments of wine to be made, under certain regulations—one of the principal is, that the merchant or shipper, is to pay an additional duty upon wine, at the rate of thirty-six shillings per puncheon. Every thing remained quiet at Oporto, at the above date, and nothing particular of a political nature had lately occurred.
EXTRACT
From the Protest of the officers and crew of the ship Leonidas arrived at New London from Patagonia.
"ON board said ship, April 10, 1808 a number of the crew down with the scurvy; on the 15th put off from the fishing ground for home, sickness continuing among us, winds mostly northerly and light. 5th May, made the island of Trinidad in south latitude 21; about two thirds of our crew now affected with the scurvy, some very bad—approached the island as near as we dare to, there being no anchoring place, lay off and on, opposite the S.S.W. part of it, and at 11 A. M. sent ashore two boats, with the two mates, and the crew, to get refreshment; part of the number being touched with scurvy; one of the boats landed, and all the people from both boats, except three, who remained in the other boat lying off and on, to guard having both boats stove by the surf, and to be ready to take off the people in case of an accident happening to the boat ashore; at 2 P. M. a heavy sea rolled upon the landing place, which prevented the boat on shore from getting off, and also rendered it dangerous for the boat in waiting to reach the shore, and it made for the ship and reached her at 4 P. M. the two mates, one boat steerer, and five men were now on shore, collecting refreshment and the wind rising and the sea so rough, that it was impossible to go on shore the rest of the day, the ship continued to lie off and on, in sight of the island, which was kept in view by the fires kindled up on shore all night. Next morning at 8 A. M. the trade winds spring up from the S.E. we steered for the N.W. part of the island—a 11 A. M. lowered away a boat and sent it ashore with five men, to endeavor to bring off the crew who had crossed the island to this part of it, at meridian—squalls of rain and thick weather, prevented the island or boat from being seen from the ship; the ship tacked off and on until 4 P. M. when it lighted up, so that the ship was seen from the shore. It now being very rough, heavy swell, surf high, and 13 souls on shore with but one boat, the other boat being on the other side of the island; the first mate, Mr. Coffin with six men (which number was as many as prudence would permit) got into the boat and put off thro' the surf for the ship, leaving the second mate, Mr. Barney, one boat steerer, Mr. English, David Branch, Franklin Bull, Jason Rogers & Stephen Moore, on shore, who voluntarily went to return to the other side of the island, and take shelter under their boat, and wait until next morning, and until the weather should permit the boat getting off: blowing very heavy gale from S.E. the ship stood off and on all this night, and a strong lee current, heavy wind and hard rain. Next morning at 10 made the island again, distant about four leagues, being to the leeward of it, we stood in for it, under double reefed topsails, and crowded, the ship had to gain the island against the strong current and heavy gale; at 6 P. M. the island bore S.E. nine leagues distant, and no prospect of gaining the island, people sick, and growing feeble, called all hands upon the quarter deck, and held a council what to do; to regain the island now seemed impossible, to continue in the effort would endanger the lives of the sick on board and perhaps lose the ship for want of well ones enough to work her; on taking the opinions of all, whether to continue in our efforts to gain the island or put away for home, it was unanimously agreed to put away, and accordingly we put away for home; Nathan English, brother to Isaac English above named now on the island, voted in favor of putting away, so strongly impressed was he of the necessity of so doing. On the passage
some spoke a vessel and get some potatoes, which checked the scurvy, and through the blessing of God, we arrived at this port on the 22d June, all alive and the sick much recovered. There are no inhabitants on the above named island, but plenty of wild goats, hogs, fish and water.

Embargo and non-importation as seen in their consequences.
There were no less than six arrivals at the port of Quebec, on the 12th of June, from London and Liverpool, with full cargoes of dry goods. Before the embargo such a thing was hardly known. There is little doubt that the greatest part of these goods will find their way into the U. States without adding one cent to our revenue.
(Phil. True Amer.)
Left handed policy —To export much, and import little, used to be the Golden Rule in the Arithmetic of our country. But our wise Embargo calculators reverse the rule, and while they permit Importations they annihilate all Exports . The consequence is, instead of Gold and Plenty; we shall have rags and poverty.
[Ibid.]
The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability at Washington, to his friend in B. H.
Washington. June 28.
"The president and Madison say, the dispatches from Armstrong contained nothing—merely a few lines referring to his letters by the Osage. From this it may safely be inferred, there is nothing pleasant to them from France. It is not likely, however, that Armstrong should have neglected a duplicate of his letters by the Osage."
The wicest statesmen have extolled that law of Solon by which it was ordained, that in all public commotions, when the state was agitated by two contending parties, the citizen, who should take no part, should be adjudged infamous. It was rightly concluded, that a man who would continue inactive and take no part in a dispute, which involved the dearest interests of his country, had not that ardent spirit of patriotism required in the Grecian republics.
But there is a class of men in this country, assuming the name of federalists, and thinking themselves wiser than Solon, who pretend to great moderation, and censure the warmth and zeal of a majority of their party. I would propose a few questions to these gentlemen—Why do you assume the name of federalists? Is it not for this reason, that you believe federal principles alone calculated for the proper administration of our government? If such is your belief, is not the cause sufficiently important to rouse your zeal? Is there no danger in democracy? Is nothing to be feared from innovation? Is the judiciary, the main pillar of the constitution, secure from the attacks of discontents and licentiousness!
Why do you disapprove the measures of the present administration? Do you not believe that a system is pursued which has a direct tendency to the ruin of your country?
Surely, these are considerations sufficient to rouse the feelings of every man who loves his country. What is the duty of a citizen upon such an occasion? Is it merely to sit down and sigh over the misfortunes of his country and to hope for better times? No—he should be active—he should endeavor to inspire others with the same sentiments which he feels—and by all lawful means he should strive to effect a change of men to administer the government.
Patriotism is warm and zealous—but this false affected moderation is merely the cover of interest—It is a cloak to conceal the want of patriotism and public spirit.
The time has arrived which should call forth the energies of the nation, the most active exertions of all good men who feel an interest in the situation of their country. Nothing is to be gained by conciliatory conduct; submission will insure success to our enemies. To occupy the middle ground of moderation, is no longer the part of wisdom, good policy, or patriotism. There can no longer exist a doubt, if manly and resolute exertions are made, by the federalists generally, that that power will be regained, which treachery wrested from our possession. Nothing more is required than unanimity in the party, to drive the enemies of our country from authority—to save the nation from destruction.

If we attempt to circumscribe the means which have enabled us to arrive at the summit of commercial prosperity, shall we not endanger our constitution by rashly drying up the sources which swelled the tide, and gave rapidity to the current of our commercial importance and national revenue."
Thus exclaimed an eloquent and prophetic statesman. But the enlightened politicians which compose the prevailing party, adopt a different policy. Whatever damps the ardor of commercial enterprise and paralyzes her industry, is eagerly grasped as a means to accomplish the favorite scheme of its annihilation. The ensuing year will teach us experience. We will find the sources which swell the tide of our prosperity, so far dried up by the Embargo, that the revenue of the country will not defray one fourth of the ordinary expenses of government. [Ibid.]
Democracy, after a short but destructive reign, is retiring from the usurped seat of power, dishonoured and disgraced. Federalism is on the ascendant. The situation of the country has roused Americans to thought and to action; and we fondly anticipate the auspicious moment in which we may hail the perfect accomplishment of our political redemption. Our enemies seek to conceal their fears, but cannot. The dawn is too bright to be mistaken; the changes which have already taken place, are too palpable to deceive. It is in vain to dissemble their fears: it is idle for them to attempt a concealment of the desperate struggles they are making to recover that pre-eminent ground of power and of influence at the first so treacherously obtained, and now we firmly hope irretrievably lost.
It may be a matter of surprise to some, that the people of a free country have so long groaned beneath the oppressive domination of a phrenzied, cruel and wicked democracy—that they have so patiently borne with violations of their rights, and encroachments on their liberties, by a relentless and detestable faction; and that they have not long before this period arisen to the majority of their strength to avenge their wrongs, and recompence their injuries. Without attempting at this time to explain the mystery of this delusion, or to attribute to all its causes the first and fatal victory of the faction, it ought not to be concealed, nor can it be too often repeated, that the unceasing exertions of our enemies and the less less indifference of too many of our friends, were among the principal reasons which produced the change. Among those who call themselves federalists, and who approve in their consciences of the measures and principles and measures of the federal party, there are too many who think that power may be regained without exertion and preserved without precaution: who tell you that the people of themselves will discover their error, and at length think and act correctly; and that every effort to hasten our deliverance, serves only to put the enemy on his guard and excite him to more vigorous measures—these men, however honest in their intentions, are miserably deceived. They would at once destroy all energy and vigor and exertion in the great and glorious cause of truth and virtue. If the vices and corruptions of those in power are not to be exposed, the people must still continue to be deceived; new delusions will be practised on them, new pretexts for violations of duty will be suggested till at length when it is too late, they may discover the error by which they have been betrayed and undone. This is no time for temporizing. Good men must think and speak and act with boldness. They who retire from the contest of faith in the pursuit, do not deserve the prize. They who inactive themselves are unworthy the name of federalists. They are despised by those who have known, and hearts to give liberty pressing demands of their country, and will at the end become the scorn of both friends and foes. Let all who mean honestly, strengthen the arm of honest men in the support of every thing precious and valuable to freemen. [Ibid.]
On the awful situation of our country, AND in the last Newburyport Herald, observes, that
Were it not for the hopeful symptom exhibited throughout our country, of a return of those exalted principles, and patriotic labors which achieved our liberty and independence, it would be an insult and a burlesque on our common sense to attempt their commemoration while our fetters of slavery are so nearly fitted. But although our liberties are weltering in their blood from the thrusts aimed at their vitals; although the distress and the ruin of the present time but illly comports
the rising spirit of our country, the energies exerted, the success attending them, and the strong hopes of restoration and of gaining finally something like the proud days of Washington—is it not proper, is it not our duty, to meet each other on the coming 4th July, and in solemn procession to mingle our sympathies? to view the height of political dignity and happiness from which we have fallen, and the depths of degradation and suffering into which we are plunged? to inspirit and encourage each other in the noble employment of replacing our dear country in such a situation as that we shall have the happy consciousness of having acted our part for its good; and that generations to come shall be compelled to say of us, our fathers merit the name of freemen. Will not the venerable FATHERS step forth on this occasion, and afford by their presence an example and encouragement to their sons? Will they not give them the high satisfaction of forming in procession on this birth day of our independence! AGED FATHERS! you are most earnestly solicited to grant us this delight. And will not every man in this vicinity possessing the bosom of a REAL FREEMAN, quit his ordinary employment and assemble with his brethren; deeply impressed with what has been our happiness—what is now the bitter cup of disgrace and misery from which we shall have such a continual flow—and what we shall be if we have to drink this cup to the very dregs, which will certainly be our portion unless we exhibit that energy which the soul of every son of liberty is bound at all times to feel."

The Captain General, and colonial prefect of Martinique and its dependencies, taking into consideration the extraordinary difficulties which the actual state of the war causes to commercial undertakings for the introduction of articles of the first necessity into this colony, and considering further, that its situation demands that no encouragement should be withheld which may lead to attempts to surmount these difficulties—DECREE:

ORDINANCE OF THE PRINCE REGENT. To count de Ponte, of my privy council, governor and captain general of the province of Bahia.
FRIEND - I, the Prince Regent, send you, as my well-beloved, greeting—Duly considering the report which you have made to me on the condition of my subjects, and my royal revenue, on account of the present critical state of public affairs in Europe, and being desirous to give on that important subject a speedy decision, in order to stop the farther progress of evils of such magnitude, &c. I do herewith provisionally ordain, until a general system of regulations, respecting the matters in question, shall have been arranged as follows:
1. That at the custom house in the Brazils, all kinds of goods, merchandise and commodities, brought either on board of foreign ships, belonging to such subjects of such powers as are considered to be on terms of amity and peace with my royal crown, or in vessels belonging to my subjects shall be admitted, on payment of 24 per cent. import duty, consisting of twenty per cent. consolidated customs, and four per cent. additional duty already established; the collection of the said customs to be effected in the same manner as has hitherto been done at the said custom house. Wine, brandy and sweet oil shall pay double the duty that has hitherto been levied on the said articles.
II. That it shall be lawful, not only for my own subjects, but also for those of the powers above mentioned, to export to such ports as they shall deem expedient, for the benefit of trade and agriculture, which I
colonial commodities and produce, with the exception of Brazil wood, and other articles the exportation of which is already prohibited, on payment of the same export duty as has been hitherto established in the respective provinces; all laws, royal edicts, and other ordinances which hitherto prohibited to this state of the Brazils a mutual intercourse and maritime trade between my subjects and foreign nations, remaining until farther suspended and without force. All which you will cause to be carried into effect with that activity and zeal which I expect from you.
THE PRINCE.
Bahia, Jan. 28, 1808. Be it carried into execution and registered, and the necessary orders for that purpose expedited.
COUNT DE PONTE. Bahia, Jan. 29, 1808.
Real History of a Sheep in a letter from a Marine Officer to a Lady in Dublin
"I have a pet sheep, which is now nearly four years old; I reared it from a lamb, on board my late ship the Arab—Her history is as follows: she was yeaned in the N. Highlands, embarked, when about a month old, in the Arab, and visited Iceland, Greenland, and Norway. Here she was sent on shore to graze; and the next day, seeing our boat row past the place where she was feeding, she leaped into the water, and swam to the boat! This circumstance protected her ever after from the butcher, and her life has been one scene of gratitude. She was in fourteen different actions with the enemy's flintilla and batteries at Boulogne, in the last of which she lost part of one of her horns."
"This interesting animal has travelled the whole western extent of Africa, across Equator to the Brazils, and all along the Guinea coast of South America to the W. Indies—from thence to Ireland, and now home. She is so tame, that she feeds from the hand LIKE A DOG, and follows her protector rather than HER OWN SPECIES; and will dance for a cabbage leaf. She prefers the house and a fire to the stable. I have known her to subsist 6 months without touching corn, hay, or grass, living with the men on puddings and grog, eating the bark of broom-ticks and fire wood and nibbling ropes and canvas. The peeling of a potatoe or apple was her greatest luxury. The docility of the animal is highly amusing. I am very anxious for its welfare, long acquaintance having attached me to its interests and like all seafaring men, partiality for the animal creation forms one of my principal foibles. If, therefore, madam, you can take in my fleecy friend you will confer happiness on her, and an additional favor on, madam, Yours, &c. T. M. Lieut. R. M."
The following charming, tender effusion, is from the pen of Miss Owenon:
DAWN
There is a soft and fragrant hour, Sweet, fresh, reviving is its power; 'Tis when a ray Steals from the veil of parting night And by its mild prelusive light Foretells the day.
'Tis when some lingering stars scarce shed O'er the misty mountain's head Their fairy beam; When one by one retiring, shroud, Dim glittering through a fleecy cloud, Their last faint gleam.
'Tis when just wak'd from transient death [By some frail Zephyr's balmy death] The unfolding Rose, Sheds on the air its rich perfume, While every bud with deepest bloom And beauty glows.
'Tis when fond nature (genial power) Weeps o'er each drooping night-cloud flower, While softly fly Those doubtful mists that leave to view, Each glowing scene of various hue That charms the eye.
'Tis when the Sea-girt turret's brow Receives the East's first kindly glow, And the dark wave, Swelling to meet the Orient gleam, Reflects the warmly strength'ning beam, It seems to lave.
'Tis when the restless child of sorrow, Watching the wished for rising morrow, His couch foregoes, And seeks 'midst scenes so sweet, so mild, To soothe those pangs so keen, so wild, Of hopeless woes.
Nor day, nor night this hour can claim, Nor moonlight ray, nor noontide beam, Does it betray; But, fresh, reviving, dewy, sweet, It hates the glowing hour to meet Of rising day.

ELOPED from the subscriber's farm near Alexandria, on the morning of the 4th inst. a NEGRO MAN named
JOHN;
About 21 years of age, hired by me from William Hepburn—He was formerly employed by Hepburn and Dundas as their wagoner.—He is a stout well made fellow, about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, with large, thick, pouty lips, a flat nose, large nostrils and is very black—He has a mark resembling a corn on the side of each of his feet near the little toe and stutters when spoken to hastily or when taken by surprise—He had on when he eloped, an old osnaburgh shirt, new osnaburgh trowsers and an old wool hat, and also took with him two woollen jackets, one of them blue, the other brown, a pair of nankeen pantaloon and an old castor hat—It is probable he had other cloathes which he may have taken off with him.
From the information I have received, I expect he has either crossed the bridge over the Potomac at the Little falls, with an intention of going to Baltimore, or has passed the ferry at Alexandria, or made for Port Tobacco in Maryland. A reward on both these roads. I will give the above reward for apprehending the said negro if he is taken above forty miles from Alexandria, and Twenty if taken within a less distance from Alexandria and without the district of Columbia and county of Fairfax, and 10 dollars if taken within either of the two last mentioned places, upon his delivery to me in Alexandria, or upon his being secured so that I get him again.

FOR SALE,
My SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Ma- chodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattapony Bridge. The situation is healthy, af- fords fine water, embraces the great advan- tages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, na- vigation, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys re- spectable neighbors and genteel society; and from its central position between Potomac and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the ben- efit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improve- ments alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for build- ing and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses.
The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an over- seer, and customary houses of other descrip- tions—to which are annexed a well laid out productive garden handsomely laid out, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.
Also, another Tract of Land , in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres, mostly in wood, and unimproved.
In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Ne- groes my Plantation utensils, some House- hold and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a pair of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Saddle Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foul- getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my ne- groes, which I shall dispose of in my neigh- borhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be re- quired in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the pur- chasers own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable mer- chandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CHAPIN, esqr. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
