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

JOHN MACLEOD, Sec'y.
ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, OF THE Domestic Manufacture Company, of Alexandria.
WHEREAS many citizens of the town and neighborhood of Alexandria, are well disposed to aid and encourage the infant manufactures of our country, as well from the perilous situation she is placed in as respects Foreign nations, as from a desire to render her more independent of their supplies, and especially of those articles of clothing, which habit has rendered, not merely comfortable, but of first necessity. But to do this, individual good will and offices fall far short of the desired object, and recourse must be had in this, as in several great designs, to form an effective aggregate of talents and pecuniary resources. For this purpose—We, the subscribers to the following Articles of Association, declare our object to be—to raise a fund, to make advances on deposits for sale, and for the purchase and sale of articles of domestic growth & manufacture, and such foreign materials as come within the description of Dye Stuffs exclusively.—And hereby form ourselves into a company or limited partnership, and do mutually agree with each other, and hereby bind ourselves to conduct the business of the Company under the name and style of the "Domestic Manufacture Company of Alexandria," and conformably to the rules and regulations herein after specified.
Article 1. The capital stock of the Company shall consist of Twenty thousand dollars, to be divided into two thousand shares of ten dollars each, and to be paid in the manner following, that is to say, two dollars on each share to be paid at the time of subscribing, and one dollar on the first Tuesday of every month thereafter, for and during the space of eight months from the opening of the subscription; and a failure to make punctually any payment after the first, shall incur a forfeiture of all that shall have been previously paid on such share. But the capital stock of the company may be increased to any sum not exceeding Forty Thousand dollars, if the proprietors of two thirds of the capital stock of the Company, by their concurring votes at any annual meeting, give their assent thereto, and such increase of stock shall be made up by additional shares of ten dollars each, and payable in such installments and at such times as the Board of Directors shall appoint.
Article 2. As soon as the whole or one thousand shares of the said capital stock shall have been subscribed for, and the first payment made thereon, a meeting of the Stockholders shall be called by public notice in the Alexandria and Washington newspapers, to meet in the court-house of Alexandria either in person or by proxy duly authorised, at which meeting the stockholders, either personally or by proxy shall elect by ballot seven of their own body to act as directors of the said Company for one year, and at every succeeding election two of the Directors who have served the preceding year shall be ineligible; and should the whole seven having served the preceding year have the greatest number of votes, then the two lowest of the said seven shall be declared as not elected, and the two next highest on the list voted for,
shall take their places, and if in any case the votes are equal, those to be appointed or rejected to be determined by lot; and such succeeding elections shall take place annually on the second Tuesday in February; but for the present year for the more immediate organization of the business of the Company, the election may be held on an earlier day under the direction of the commissioners appointed to receive subscriptions, and the number of votes to which each stockholder shall be entitled, shall be in proportion to the stock he may hold as follows: For one share and not exceeding six shares, one vote each; for every two shares over six and not exceeding ten, one vote each; for every three shares over ten and not exceeding sixteen, one vote each; for every four shares over sixteen and not exceeding forty, one vote each; and for every ten shares over forty, one vote each; and no stockholder shall be permitted to vote (except at the first election) who has not held his stock for twenty days prior to the election, and in all elections after the first, the proxy shall be made in such form as the Board of Directors shall appoint.
Article 3. The affairs of the said company shall be carried on in the town of Alexandria, under the superintendence and control of the said Directors, of whom any four shall form a board or quorum, they shall choose a chairman from among themselves, and in case of vacancy by death, resignation or otherwise, such vacancy shall be immediately filled by themselves from among the stockholders. And the said Directors shall in no case whatever, contract debts or engagements, by bill, bond or otherwise, for, or on account of the Company, but that all dealings under their superintendence and control aforesaid, shall be for cash or barter, except goods on deposit, which may be sold by the direction of the consignor. The said Directors shall also exhibit at the annual meeting of stockholders, for their inspection, a statement of the affairs of the Company for the year preceding.
Article 4th. The Directors when elected shall proceed without delay to appoint an Agent and such other officers as may be requisite, all of whom shall hold their offices during the pleasure of the Board, and who shall, before they enter upon their functions, give bond with sufficient security to the said Directors and their successors in office for the faithful discharge of their duties, as prescribed by the Board of Directors.
Article 5th. It shall be the duty of the Agent, when so appointed, to have the charge of the cash, goods, deposits, books and papers of the Company, to make purchases, receive deposits, make advances of money, or exchange goods for deposits, make sales thereof, and to effect insurance on goods transported by sea, where the Company have an interest in the property under the rules prescribed by the Board of Directors. He shall be allowed a yearly salary, and a certain rate per centum, in addition thereto, of the nett profits accruing to the said Company, before the dividends are declared, the amount of both of which to be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Article 6th. All receipts for goods deposited for sale shall be signed by the Agent, and the funds of the Company shall in no case be held responsible for any deposits of goods whatever unless so signed.
Article 7th. The shares of capital stock at any time owned by any individual stockholder shall be transferable on the books of the Company, according to such rules as may agreeably to law be established in that behalf by the Board of Directors; and it is further expressly agreed & declared, that any stockholder who shall transfer in manner aforesaid all his stock or shares to any other person or persons whatever, shall thereupon cease to be a member of this Company, and that any person or persons whatever who shall accept a transfer of any stock or share in this Company shall thereupon become and be a member of this Company, according to these articles of association.
Article 8th. It is hereby expressly and explicitly declared by the persons who associate under the name or firm of the "Domestic Manufacture Company of Alexandria," that the joint stock or property of the said Company (exclusive of dividends to be made in the manner hereinafter mentioned) shall alone be responsible for the debts and engagements of the said Company, and that no person who shall or may deal with this Company, or to whom they shall or may become in any wise indebted, shall, on any pretence whatever, have recourse against the separate property of any present or future member of this Company, or against their persons, excepting the officers and servants of said Company, in regard to the faithful discharge of their respective duties in the conduct of the affairs and administration of the funds of the said Company. And all suits to be brought against this Company (if any shall be) shall be brought against the Agent for the time being, and in case of his death or removal from office, pending any such suit against him, measures
shall be taken, at the expence of the Company, for substituting his successor in office as a defendant, so that persons having demands upon the Company may not be prejudiced or delayed by that event, or if the person suing shall go on against the person first named as defendant ( notwithstanding his death or removal from office) this Company shall take no advantage, by writ of error or otherwise, of such proceeding, on that account; and all recovery had, in manner aforesaid, shall be conclusive upon the company, so far as to render the company's said joint stock or property liable thereby, and no further; and the Company shall immediately pay the amount of such recovery out of their joint stock, but not otherwise: And in case of any suit at law, the agent shall sign his appearance, upon the writ, or file common bail thereto; it being expressly understood and declared, that all persons dealing with said company, agree to these terms and are bound thereby.
Article 9th. Dividends of the profits of the Company, or so much thereof as shall be deemed sufficient and proper, shall be declared by the Board of Directors in the third week in January in each year, and shall in no case exceed the amount of the nett profits actually acquired by the Company.
Article 10th. If the said Directors shall at any time wilfully and knowingly make or declare any dividend which shall impair the said capital stock, all the Directors present at the making or declaring of said dividend, and consenting thereto, shall be liable in their individual capacities to the Company, for the amount or proportion of said capital stock so divided by the said Directors; and each Director who shall be present at the making or declaring such dividend, shall be deemed to have consented thereto, unless he shall enter in writing his dissent on the minutes of the proceedings of the Board, and give public notice to the stockholders that such dividend has been declared.
Article 11. The Company shall not purchase or hold any lands, tenements or other real estates.
Article 12. Any number of stockholders, not less than forty, who, together, shall be proprietors of four hundred shares, may, for any purpose relative to the institution, at any time apply to the Board of Directors to call a general meeting of the stockholders; and, if by them refused, the said number of stockholders, proprietors of not less than the number of shares aforesaid, or a majority of the directors, shall have power to call a general meeting of the stockholders, giving at least sixty days notice in the Alexandria and Washington newspapers, specifying in such notice the object or objects of such call.
Article 13. This Association shall be and continue for the term of ten years, from and after the first election of directors, but may be dissolved at any period prior thereto, or continued for any length of time thereafter not exceeding twenty years: provided, the proprietors of two-thirds of the capital stock of the said Company, by their concurring votes, give their assent thereto; but no dissolution or extension shall take place unless notice of a meeting to consider such proposition be published in the Alexandria and Washington newspapers for six weeks previous thereto.
Article 14. Immediately on the dissolution of this Association, prompt and effectual measures shall be taken by the directors then existing, for converting into cash the stock on hand, closing all the concerns of the Company, and for dividing the capital and profits which may remain, among the stockholders, in proportion to their respective interests.
Article 15. The books of subscription for shares in this institution, shall be opened in Alexandria, on the first day of December next and shall remain open for the space of one day, at least, under the direction of George Deneale, Hugh Smith, John Longden, John M Kinney, and James Irwin, or a majority of them, of which public notice shall be given in the Alexandria and Washington newspapers. In case the whole number of shares shall not be subscribed for on that day, the Commissioners, or Board of Directors shall have authority to open the books afterwards at their pleasure; but if it should happen that more than the stipulated number of shares should be subscribed for, then the commissioners hereby appointed, are to apportion them among the subscribers, by deducting from the highest subscriptions until they are reduced to the proper number. The commissioners will issue receipts to the different stockholders, which receipts with the original subscription shall be deemed good evidence of the quantity of stock to which each subscriber shall be entitled in this company.

POETICAL DEPARTMENT.
FROM A LONDON PAPER.
The following beautiful lines are copied from one of the benches on the west side of Kensington Gardens:
While bravely struggling in the flaming wave, The ship-wreck'd sailor hopes his life to save;
And, firmly clinging to the floating oar, At length is waited to some friendly shore. For me, alas! no friendly shore appears, My cares increasing faster than my years. Depriv'd of every charm that sweetens life; No pleasing home—no fond endearing wife, On whose soft breast I might my cares repose,
And in her circling arms my eye lids close; But, overwhelm'd by fate and anxious care, My shattered bark is driven to despair!
CHINESE PROVERB. (Applicable to the United States.)
When swords are rusty, spades are bright, When prison doors admit the light, When granaries are full of corn, The temple's threshold soil'd and worn, Grass growing where the lawyer's talk, When butchers ride and doctors walk— Then are there many, young and old, And statesmen well the state uphold.
An elegant and sublime Thought.
The World's a Book, writ by the great Art Of the eternal Author, printed in man's heart, 'Tis falsely printed, tho' DIVINELY penn'd, And all the Errata will be seen at the end!
FROM THE FRENCH.
Damon is oft by Cl'be told, Her heart to love is icy cold; The tender girl has no deceit, For ice will melt when near the heat.
SYMPATHY.
Emma at sight of human woe, So shock'd is, all her griefs appear; To ease her feeling bosom's glow, To want she freely gives—A TEAR.
THE MONITOR.
"Who steals my purse steals trash: 'Tis something nothing, 'twas mine, 'tis his And has been slaves to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name, Robs me of that which nought enriches him, And makes me poor indeed."
The world is filled with various characters. The good and the worthless alternately agitate the busy scene and furnish us with specimens of every virtue which can bless, and with every vice which degrades human nature. The hearts of the children of men, if strictly scrutinised, will be found to contain the seeds of all wickedness; and detraction is one shoot from that "bitter root." The highway robber is not a greater nuisance to society, than the malicious backbiter and slanderer. That, is satisfied with your purses; but this, while his hand may perhaps be extended with a fair show of friendship, stabs at your character, and lays your reputation level with the dust. Is a man's property in danger by losses, or any sudden misfortune: or is his credit any way impaired? These wretches cease not to publish and aggravate such errors, and thus seem to fatten on the filth of scandal. In mixed companies, characters of the above description may easily be known. While the excellency of wisdom, the beauty of virtue, or the peculiar merits of others, are the subject of discourse, they sit stupidly silent. Wisdom reproaches their ignorance, virtue lashes their folly, and the merits of others casts a lustre, which only seems to shew the blackness of their own hearts. But let the conversation turn on the failings of others, and they will burst forth in a torrent of the grossest calumnies, and the shrugs, nods, and winks which escape them, on the mere mention of a fallen character, plainly evince their love of detraction.
Evils are of luxurious growth, Spring up in profuse abundance around us, And need the most watchful eye, to prevent their choking the growth of every better plant. And is Detraction an evil? Then let each one, having reformed himself, shun the society of the slanderer, whose lips drop beth venom, and under whose tongue is the poison of asps.

NEW POLITICAL VIEWS.
IN THE BRATTLEBRO' REPORTER.
argo, Non-intercourse, and Policy of the Belligerents.
NO. III.
When we take into view the disasters which have overwhelmed the fairer part of old world, & observe the dangers which face this country, from the same sources which have inundated and annihilated the independence of nations vastly superior in power and population to the United States, we are not a little astonished and appalled at the apathy which pervades the American public. Our politicians and leading characters appear to us to be men like those described by Burke as "the lowest order of human species." There is no trade so vile and mechanical as government in their hands. Virtue is not their habit. They are out of themselves in any course of conduct recommended by conscience and glory. A large, liberal, and prospective view of the interests of states, passes with them for romance; and the principles which recommended it, for the visions of a disordered imagination. The calculators compute them out of their senses. Littleness in object and means, to them appears soundness and sobriety. They think there is nothing worth pursuit but what they can handle; which they measure with a two feet rule; which they can tell on their fingers.
Such as these are our terrapin-system mongers; who would destroy our commerce lest it should afford a pretext for involving us in European quarrels, who oppose a low, base, abject, mean, creeping, cringing, pusillanimous policy, to a world in arms. Whose means of offence and defence consists merely in dishonest and shuffling expedients intended to prop a declining popularity. But,
"Troy may yet awake, at one avenging blow Crush the dire authors of their country's woe."
When the experience of every new campaign, the results of every battle, the military and political arrangements unfolded by every day's events, and displayed by every article of intelligence from the eastern continent, show that the object of France is empire—that without extraordinary and unparalleled exertions on the part of that portion of the civilized world which has not yet passed under the yoke of the conqueror, the despotism of France will be as universal as it is severe and intolerable; we perceive that Americans are looking as quietly on with no more efficient animation than so many Egyptian mummies, or animal productions of the Monticellian nicknackatory. Or, if we condescend to lift a finger by way of a show of an inclination to preserve some rank in the scale of independent nations, our puny efforts are directed either against our own commerce and resources, or to cripple the arm or to pierce the heart of the power who is forced to fight our battles—the only power that can prevent our speedily realizing in this country all the horrors of a siege of Saragossa or a battle of Wagram.
But it is said by our advocates for terrapin systems that Bonaparte will be satisfied with the destruction of our commerce—that Great Britain will not annoy us, but that every one will rest in security under his own vine and fig-tree. That America like China will be a world by itself, and remain perfectly secure, without the vortex of European politics. But here, as usual, they "reckon without the host." Their miles have no parallels, and their parallels are without similitude. China is a conquered country governed by a Tartar dynasty—a country ruled by a most rigid despotism, without a shadow of liberty, religious, political, or civil. Besides, the population of China compared with the United States is at least 50 to 1; and the government, habits, manners, and situation of that vast empire, are all hostile to foreign commerce. As well might the frog of the fable, swell to the size of an ox, as the United States succeed happily in any attempts to imitate the Chinese policy with regard to foreign commerce. But granting it were practicable to abandon and annihilate our foreign commerce; would the destruction of commerce secure us from a participation in the wars and turmoils of Europe? If so we would be the first to exclaim, perish commerce and perpetuity to peace and national independence. But we fear that this sacrifice at the altar of French ambition, enormous as it is, would be comparatively of little consequence to what would be required. Our good friend Bonaparte would demand the "simple tythe of all we have." Liberty, property, life, must be at his service, and like the poor enslaved Dutch, Swiss, Italians, Hessians, Germans, &c. &c.
We should be dragged into the wars of the conqueror, and be forced to forge and rivet our own chains. As Mr. Ames observed of the conquered nations of Europe, the French will use the blood, sinews and marrow of us high minded, liberty loving Americans, as we were oxen. They will gear and harness like so many Dutch horses, or their own conscripts, or "couple together with a rope attached to a horse's tail" the freeborn sons of Columbia—whip, goad, and kick them, democrats and all, on board their transports, and force them to fight the battles of the universal tyrant in the remotest quarters of the habitable globe, and carry his conquests to Ormus and the furthest Ind.
Those among the American partisans who still imagine that the yoke of Bonaparte would be easy and his outrhea light, may, perhaps, be undeceived, if not wilfully blind, by the following extract. They will likewise please to reflect, that the rigorous treatment here described is inflicted on the natives of France. What then have conquered nations to apprehend?
Extract from the Edinburgh Review of the Code de la Conscription.
"We shall now conclude to lay before our readers a connected view of the law of the conscription as it is now enforced, and to interweave with those statements such illustrations of the present state of the French empire as may be necessary to develop the whole organization of the conquest. No subject, at the present moment, can claim so terrible an importance. The levies of those continental nations, which still preserves the forms of independence, are, it is said, to be moulded upon the same model; and the conscription is, undoubtedly, the vis matrix of that great engine to which France owes her aggrandizement, and on which she relies, for the future increase of her dominion. Her politicians exultingly apply to it the language of Vergenius concerning the legion, that it seems rather an inspiration of divine wisdom, than the offspring of human invention. The plan of universal conquest, imputed originally to Louvois, and with more truth, perhaps, ascribed by Mr. Burke to the directory, is now, not merely digested into a regular system, but may actually be said to be in a course of execution; and to be proceeding with a steadiness and success, which must strike alarm into the most confident and unthinking. The world, in the opinion of all Frenchmen, is to be again subdued by the discipline and the arts of Rome. Folard's Polybius, Michauvel on Livy, and Montesque on the Grandeur et Declination , are more than ever "the manuals" from which they draw their lessons of perseverance and cunning. The reading classes of France have always been fond of historical research. Their republic made them passionate admirers and enlightened imitators of antiquity; and their government availing itself of this predilection for the victorious commonwealths of Greece and Rome, soon taught them to overlook altogether individual interests, tastes, and enjoyments, both in their foreign politics, and in the details of their internal economy. They admit no "balanced advantages, or diverging claims." All the capacities, energies, and habits of private life, are unrelentingly wrested to the production of force, for the subjugation of the globe, or, as co-ordinate with this object, for the aggrandizement of the reigning family. The changes of form in their government have occasioned no remission in this pursuit. It has always been spoken of among them with considerable confidence and zeal. Events have recently brought it more into notice; and nothing now remains but to achieve the ultimate object, " le grand pensee ," as it is emphatically styled in the coteries of Paris.
That our readers may the better understand our abstract of the laws on the conscription, it is proper to premise, that France is divided into about 30 military governments, subject to a general of division and his staff, to which commissaries are attached as executive officers. The civil division consists of 122 departments; 24 of which have been acquired since the overthrow of the monarchy, exclusive of Tuscany, not included in any part of this statement. The departments are divided into districts or arrondissements , from 3 to 5 in number; the arrondissements into cantons, and the cantons into municipalities, amounting to about 55,000. Each department is governed by a prefect and his council, composed of a commissary of police, a mayor, and certain inspectors, denominated counsellors of prefecture . The district or arrondissement , by a sub-prefect and his council, of a similar formation. The cantons and municipalities are under the supervision of an administration, composed of the civil authorities, with a president at their head. A mayor, a commissary of police, and two officers
of the government, styled adjuncts , are allotted to every division having a population above 5000 souls. These several authorities are in strict subordination to each other, and the control of the prefect and sub-prefects; who, themselves, are charged with a weighty and inflexible responsibility as to the military levies."

The Legislature of Maryland on Tuesday last, chose Gen. Smith to represent that state in the Senate of the United States.
French Nobility in America.—We have seen several paragraphs in late papers, stating that Miss Patterson, alias Mrs. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, had been created a Duchess, and her son a Prince of the French empire. We paid very little attention to those stories at first; but they have been so often repeated that we begin to think there may be some foundation for the reports. We hope our friends in Baltimore will ascertain the fact; for we think it of considerable consequence to our country to know whether the great Emperor is actually raising a king for us or not. If it is true that in this urchin we see our future monarch, we think gen. Smith, who, we understand, is a relation to the child, would be a more proper person for his guardian than General Tousard. There are yet a few good democrats in our country who would pause, if they saw the heir apparent of the two Americas, under the guidance of a real Frenchman; but who would be very well contented to have him under the guardianship of so good a patriot as gen. Smith. And the emperor, we think, would be quite as safe in trusting his affairs with general Smith, as he would in the agency of gen. Tousard; especially as he can retain the 400,000 dollars, as a pledge of gen. Smith's good behavior.
