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.

Competitors will observe, that whether they are successful or not, their goods will be sold by the agents of the domestic society, agreeably to their established practice, unless the proprietor shall give orders to the contrary, in which case the goods will be returned to his order.
No person or company will be allowed to gain more than two of these premiums, and those for different articles.

FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.
REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.—Old and New Spain are both transferred to Napoleon. The population and the wealth of the Indies are now French. Except England and the U. States the arms of the Imperia Jacobin embrace the universe. England he cannot conquer, and it rests with our rulers whether the only republic on earth shall be subdued without a blow.
Will the transfer of Spain and her dependencies materially affect the U. S. is a question which those infatuated men may ask who do not know that for every independent nation that expires, the world, of necessity, feels a pang.
That the transfer will in many points of view, immediately and greatly affect us, no reasonable man can entertain a doubt.
All the Floridas on this side of New Orleans, including the part adjoining to it, will be under the controul of France, if not actually occupied by her troops.
The island of Cuba, and the port of La Vera Cruz, commanding the Mexican bay, and therefore our western commerce, will henceforth be under the direction of Napoleon.
Mexico, with her riches and physical strength, is at his beck. It will not be forgotten that a Mexican force, directed by a feeble Spaniard, kept at bay the army of the U. States, when under the guidance of the immaculate Wilkinson. I state a fact—I tell you what was, not what might have been.
Napoleon then is our neighbor. Can anything be added to the alarming fact? What plagues and pestilences are there in the wound of time that we may not rationally anticipate from the juxtaposition? Deadly poisons, more deadly than those which are now circulating among us by French emissaries, will be infused. The Spaniard bearded our government with impunity, but the Corsican, if it sleep, will cut off its hair! Thus circumstanced, is Mr. Madison fit to be our president? Think not that I ask an electioneering question. See we not independent nations daily toppled, without seeing the hand by which the ruin is effected? Behold Spain! The most terrible of force has been used, and yet nothing of compulsion is visible!
But without arguing from what is, to what may be, the transfer of Spain to France brings us into direct collision with her.—Will the reader patiently walk with me a little upon this road? I will not detain him long.
For spoliations committed upon our commerce from the year 1797 to 1801, Spain owes our merchants between five and six millions of dollars. I dare say that nineteen twentieths of the community are ignorant of this, for as France backed Spain in plundering us, nothing has been said about it! So admirably are great national questions managed by party spirit and passion!
The spoliations are of two kinds: ships and their cargoes captured by Spanish armed vessels, and condemned by Spanish tribunals; and ships and their cargoes captured by French vessels and condemned, in Spain, by French tribunals. 'Tis odd enough, to be sure, but French tribunals were really erected within the territory of Spain! We see the upshot. Spain is defunct!
In the summer of 1801, Mr. Jefferson directed Mr. Pinckney to make the necessary arrangements with the court of Madrid for restoring the amount of the spoliated property to our merchants. A convention was accordingly concluded in 1802, ratified by the president and senate in 1804, and re-
mitted to Madrid for the ratification of his Catholic majesty. At the same session of congress, an act was passed, authorizing to "erect the shores, waters and inlets of the bay and river Mobile, into a custom-house district, and to establish ports of entry and delivery therein"—the president and congress thereby deciding in the most solemn manner, that Louisiana, as ceded to us by France, extends east at least as far as the Mobile river.
This act of congress was received at Madrid with our ratification of the convention. But his Catholic majesty refused to ratify himself, on the grounds, first, that he was not answerable for condemnations of our vessels and cargoes effected within his dominions by French tribunals; and, secondly, that as Louisiana extended no farther east, in his opinion, than the lakes which bind New Orleans, he demanded a repeal of the act of congress, which had embraced the Mobile, and erected ports of entry and delivery on its waters. Here the differences rested, our government every now and then sending messages authorising talks with his majesty about it. According to Mr. Madison, this contemptuous conduct of Spain is attributed to France. France, he said, would "not permit Spain to settle her differences with us. France wants money and she must have it." Accordingly, two millions of dollars were secretly shipped off. For what purpose I will hereafter enquire.
In his last message, (that of October, 1807) the president says,
"Our differences with Spain remain still unsettled, no measures having been taken on her part, since my last communications to congress, to bring them to a close. But under a state of things which may favor reconsideration, they have been recently pressed and an expectation is entertained that they may now soon be brought to an issue of some sort."
Well: they are now brought to an issue of some sort, but it is a sort, I fear, that we shall not like.
Here then we see that Spain, for the last ten years, has owed our merchants near six millions of dollars, and that in the most provoking manner imaginable, she has refused even to make arrangements for a final liquidation of the debt. France would not suffer Spain to settle with us. "France wanted money!" Mr. Madison so whispered in the ear of a great favorite, who happened, however, to have too much honesty and patriotism to keep the secret!
And now that Spain is transferred to France, the debt which Spain owed to our merchants, is transferred with it, as well as the settlement of the Louisiana boundaries. Would Mr. Madison, if elected president, ask Napoleon for the debt?—Would Napoleon pay it if Mr. Madison was disposed and could muster up courage enough to ask him for it? How will our Louisiana boundaries now be adjusted?—Are our half ruined merchants to give up their Spanish claims? Is our country to yield its jurisdiction?
From the NORFOLK LEDGER.
SPAIN.—We do not recollect to have experienced more pleasure in the communication of any information, than we felt in announcing the intelligence respecting that country, given in our last. It is not the interest of this nation or that nation, (except our own) that has any influence with us; for the independence of nations, we are, and ever have been the advocate. The contest in which Spain (and we may say Portugal also) is now engaged must claim the sympathy and best wishes of every real friend to the freedom and happiness of mankind.—Our wishes are not directed by any prejudices against France, for we believe that France would be a much happier and ultimately a more powerful nation, if she could set a limit to her ambition, or to that of her present ruler.
But will Spain succeed in this effort to emancipate herself? At the first view the contest appears too arduous to hope for success. When a whole people resolve to be free, it is only to will it, and they will be free. The example of France herself might be given to prove the truth of our assertion. At the commencement of her revolution, the enthusiasm of liberty, inspired her undisciplined volunteers, and the veteran legions of Europe, commanded by the most experienced generals of the age, were driven with disgrace from the contest.
If the people of Spain and Portugal are faithful to themselves, they cannot be subdued, but by a force, whose numbers would prove its own destruction for want of subsistence. We understand that the local position of Spain is admirably calculated for a defensive warfare, from its numerous mountains and defiles.
Much may also be expected and hoped from example—The nations of Europe,
roused by the example of a people who were least expected to take the lead in such a glorious contest, may rise in mass and "break their chains upon the heads of their oppressors."
To Great Britain, this exertion is all-important, and of which she appears to be sensible, from the prudent measures which she has adopted, in the instructions given to her naval commanders. The British until lately had forty-three sail of the line employed in the blockades of Lisbon and Cadiz and in the Mediterranean, these will be reduced probably to fifteen or sixteen. The Russian fleet in the Tagus must fall, unless rescued by a peace with Great Britain, an event which may be expected this summer.
But the more important advantages which Great Britain will derive, will be the introduction of colonial produce of which the English markets are glutted, into Spain and Portugal, and her manufactures into the latter, and into the American colonies of the former. The safety to her West India navigation will be also greatly increased; deprived of the ports in Porto Rico and Cuba, the French cruizers will be restricted to the islands of Guadaloupe and Martinique, and the city of St. Domingo. In this benefit we should also have participated, if our embargo had been off. These events now under consideration furnish additional cause to regret the continuance of our embargo. The markets of Spain and Portugal would afford an ample vent for the provisions that are now rotting in the barns of the farmers—for the fish of the eastern states, and part of the colonial produce lying in the merchants stores, so much to his detriment, and to that of the public revenue.
In coming to notice the affairs of our country, we cannot avoid noticing the fatal error into which the ruling party has fallen.—Yielding to their prejudices, they have never looked for any event but the downfall and subjugation of Great Britain—they have held her resources, her power, and her consequent energy in contempt. Each year they have calculated would be the last of her political existence. Our non-importation and embargo laws, were certain to finish the great work of Napoleon.
In all these hopes and expectations they have been disappointed, and so always will those be, whose measures are directed by passion and prejudice, and not by the sober maxims of reason, and national policy. It is not too late to repair the error; let the U. States look only to their own concerns, and not be drawn into a co-operation in measures, in which they have no interest, unless the interest we take in a measure, from which, mischief to ourselves may arise. We however, have but little hope, in seeing any change in measures; it requires a degree of magnanimity to confess our mistakes, and to correct them, which we do not expect from our administration. The voice of the people proclaimed at the next presidential and congressional elections, can alone rescue the nation.
From the London Traveller of May 27.
In another part of our paper we have given the substance of some letters received yesterday from Manchester, relating to the proceedings of the distressed manufacturers in that town and neighborhood, in consequence of the refusal of parliament to enter a bill for fixing a minimum for their weekly labor. We are sorry to state that it has been found necessary to have recourse to strong measures to dissolve the meetings took place among this unhappy class of people. The following letter, which we received this morning from a correspondent, upon whose accuracy we can place perfect reliance, contains an account of what occurred at Manchester on Wednesday. The cotton weavers seem to have adopted a very erroneous idea of the feelings of parliament with respect to their case. We were present at the short discussion which took place on the subject on Friday last, and we can assert that it was from motives of the purest compassion for them that leave was not given to bring in the bill. There was but one opinion in the house respecting it, and it was this, that it would increase rather than remove the distresses of the manufacturers; that it might do infinite mischief and no possible good:
Manchester, Wednesday evening. Your London papers will no doubt teem with dreadful accounts of the riots at Manchester; but having been accidentally both an eye and an ear witness of what has unfortunately taken place here, I send you a few hasty lines.
A number of the journeymen weavers assembled yesterday, not in a riotous or tumultuous manner, but in a decent orderly style, requesting to have their grievances redressed, and their wages raised. Some thousands attended on the ground called St.

George's Field's, and appointed delegates to wait upon the principal manufacturers, humbly desiring an immediate interview. The magistrates and several respectable gentlemen sent to remonstrate with the poor, endeavored to disperse them; but finding every thing they said was of no avail, they were under the painful necessity of resorting to the reading the riot act, and sending the constables and military among them, who soon cleared the ground; but finding the inhabitants were considerably alarmed, the streets were patrolled all Tuesday night, and every thing remained pretty quiet.
This morning, about 10 o'clock, my curiosity was attracted, by seeing some hundreds of weavers marching, in a most orderly manner, into Manchester, to join several thousand of others of the same calling, who had again assembled in St. George's Field, (which is close to the edge of the town). A regular square was formed, and the members of the respective committees, stationed themselves in the centre. They then dispatched delegates, to commune with the boroughreeve and the principal officers of the town, who were requested to use their influence with the most eminent manufacturers to raise their wages.
One of the delegates soon returned, and went round the square, attended by the committee, and addressing the poor half famished but patient auditors, informed them that he had seen the boroughreeve, that he was friendly to their cause, and sympathised with them in their present distress, which he was sorry he could not alleviate; that he had taken the names and places of about of their delegates, who were responsible for the conduct and behavior of their fellow sufferers. The delegates then exhorted them to be firm in the cause they had undertaken to support, and strongly enjoined them to behave peaceably and orderly.
About 3 o'clock, P. M. I again went to the field, attended by a friend, and was astonished to see so many thousands of people; for as all the weavers had struck their work in the neighboring towns, I am of opinion that there were at least from ten to fifteen thousand people. Loud, indeed, were the murmurs of the poor wretches, but not the least indication was there of a riot.
Many baskets of bread, with some ale, and several cans of butter milk, were distributed among the multitude, and their sorrowful and piteous tales of distress; quite unmanned me, as also several other sympathetic spectators. About half past three o'clock the Boroughreeve, accompanied by another gentleman on horseback, entered the (hollow) square, and the poor creatures gave a patient hearing to them: He advised them to disperse, but the general cry was—"We have nothing to eat; and unless our wages are raised, we might as well play and starve, as work and be famished." Listened attentively, and heard tales of the most distressing scenes that ever human eye was witness to; and I am sorry to say that the military were obliged to interfere for the second time, and I apprehend that the consequences will be dreadful, as I saw them fire, and observed several wounded wretches carried to the infirmary. The shops and houses are all shut up in this quarter, and the riflemen and Manchester volunteers, &c. &c. are now marching to the scene of action, and I find the streets are to be again patrolled. The peaceable inhabitants are most dreadfully alarmed.
Ten, P. M.—I have just seen a poor old man's widow, who is left with five children. Her husband was shot in an entry; and I find that several of the multitude have been taken to gaol. An apothecary with whom I conversed, has been to dress the wounds of many who were badly hurt by the swords and bayonets of the soldiery.
P. S.—After the military were assembled, I saw a gentleman enter the square on horseback; he harangued the unfortunate people. I did not hear him speak, but I am told by a friend, whose veracity I can rely on, that he said "his father was a weaver, and exhorted them to support the cause, and to conduct themselves with propriety, and that he would stand by them, and if none was hurt to apply to him for redress."
LONDON, May 31. Orders, we understand, have been sent to Cork for the immediate embarkation of 6000 men. Their destination is said to be Cadiz.
A meeting of the gentlemen connected with the northern Highlands was to be held yesterday at Edinburgh, to consider of the means of relieving the distresses of the inhabitants of that part of the country, arising from the great scarcity of corn, and the general loss of their cattle, owing to the want of fodder.
In addition to our recent statement of the
failure of fodder in the Highlands of Scotland, we have to add, that on three small farms in the parish of Latheron, in Caithness, 184 black cattle, besides a number of horses, have died for want. In Sutherland, Ross, Caithness, and Inverness, there is a general and distressing scarcity of provisions—in many places, even the grain allotted for feed has been used to keep the people and the cattle alive, and the consequence must be calamitous if some relief is not promptly afforded.
SALEM, July 29.
Last Sunday morning the brig Minerva sailed from this port, by his American Majesty's most gracious permission, for the Havanna.
The brig Trial, prepared by the same concern for the same voyage, will not sail immediately, as the suspicions of the collector have fallen heartily upon her, and she is discharging her cargo part of which turns out to be, by some mistake, of a different nature from what the permit allows. This is no "federal trick."
Rumor has been very busy for some days past, on the subject of violations of the embargo. On Tuesday the Collector of this port seized upon some goods on board a vessel that had a permit to sail for the Havanna, and has detained the vessel.
On Wednesday it was reported that some boats had slipped out from Cape Ann, and gone off; these though they may have transgressed the letter of the law, and are therefore liable to its penalties, are probably too small and inconsequential to have much effect upon the great plan of government, in humbling the proud nations of the earth.—But yesterday we had a more serious and alarming report, viz. that some people of Cape Ann had avowed their determination to load and send off their vessels, in defiance of the government, and that the Collector had declared he could not carry the laws into effect without military aid. We hope this will not turn out to be true though it is a consequence that we have ever apprehended from such a law. If we have bad laws, it is our own fault in our choice of rulers. We are persuaded it is best that they should be submitted to, and that the people should suffer the full effects of them, until they can apply the constitutional remedy. Should the people rouse themselves, and obtain a federal President, perpetual embargoes will be no more, and commerce will again be free; and this, without the crime of resisting the laws.
NEW-YORK, August 1.
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia to the editor, dated the 27th ult.
"You will receive in the United States Gazette of this city, an assertion, said to be from high authority, that no remonstrance, proposals or communications of any kind, were sent to England in the Osage by our government; and that the Osage went to England, and after remaining there a considerable time, actually returned again to this country, without any communication having been submitted by Mr. Pinckney, to the government of that country. This assertion, after a lapse of some days, has drawn from Duane, on finding himself unable to refute it, a very angry attack on the British consul here, upon the supposition that he had communicated it to the editor of the Gazette. Duane's attack has excited more general attention to the facts asserted in the Gazette, and has led to such enquiries, as leave no doubt in my mind and that of many others that no dispatches went by that ship, which led to any communication whatever with the British government. And that no communication whatever was made by Mr. Pinckney to that government, from the day of her arrival in England to the day of her departure. The question then occurs, Why did she go to England? I can give no other answer but that this circumstance is a continuance of that political juggle, by which the feelings of this devoted country have been so long trifled with, and which is daily plunging it into a deeper state of humiliation and distress."
REMARKS.
The suggestion of our correspondent is but too true. The arrival of the OSAGE was anxiously looked for in England, as it was expected that she would bring important communications from this government. After her arrival the British ministers were expecting to receive a communication from Mr. Pinckney; and after the lapse of some days Mr. Canning addressed a note to Mr. Pinckney, to enquire if he had received no dispatches by the Osage. Mr. Pinckney in reply candidly acknowledged that he had not.—After the arrival of the Osage here it was publicly given out by Mr. Jefferson, that neither France nor England had shown a disposition to do us justice. The secretary at war declared to a gentleman in Boston, that "the dispatches by the
Osage were not conciliatory, either from France or England; both parties having refused to recind their orders? and that our government were determined to continue the embargo until some change of affairs takes place."
BALTIMORE, August 4.
The ship Fame, captain Wickham arrived last evening from New Orleans. July 20, spoke the brig Adherbal, M c Meal off Tortugas, for N. Orleans. Was spoken off Havanna by the British sloop of war Fire-Fly, the lieutenant of which informed that she had just left the Havanna, where she had been for two days. The day before she came out a brig had been sent off with 200 French; and the French, generally, were shipping off as fast as possible; and the Spaniards at the Havanna had declared in favor of the change of measures in Spain, which had been received in a vessel from Cadiz, in 25 days. In consequence of this unexpected change a grand fete had taken place in Havanna.

EXTRACT FROM WHELPLEY'S HISTORICAL COMPEND. (Published by particular desire.)
The light of history unveils many characters—it discloses the features of the ambitious tyrant and the aspiring demagogue—the masked hypocrite, the stern bigot, and stately politician. True history is a gem of inestimable value; it seems almost to remedy the defect of human foresight. We there learn how short-sighted many legislators have been in promulgating laws utterly inconsistent with the good of society; for while the statesman in the busy scenes of life is bewildered in the ambiguity of probable effects, and like a pilot who cannot feel his helm, cannot discern the drift of empire, the historian, calmly seated in the shade of contemplation, lifts his perspective, begins at the spring, and carefully traces the tortuous course of governments and empires—sees them, like a river, dashing over precipices, majestically rolling through plains or disappearing in the ocean.
Knowledge of history strongly inculcates the preference of virtue to vice; and that of folly human ambition. We there learn that men elevated on the summit of earthly glory, are less safe, and far less happy than those in the humbler: their fall is no less certain, commonly more sudden, and always more dreadful. The Historian can compare the modes of life, the customs of different ages and countries, and the effects of different religions tends to free the mind from bigotry and superstition, and, in such a mighty course of events, make a man feel his weakness and insignificance.
By the light of history, human affairs resemble a stormy sea: they foam and rage under the dire agency of tremendous passions, though subject to the higher controul of Almighty Power! All human institutions are seen mouldering away, and the works of art, however solid, beautiful or grand, either by the ravages of time, or the blind fury of mortals, all perish. These views diminish self-importance, and leave the mind to seek higher grounds of confidence and hope.—The historian sees all nations in every age, uniting in a belief of God—adoring him as the first cause—confiding in him as the ultimate end of creatures, and is naturally led into a code of morality which censures certain actions and characters as they tend to disorder, misery and ruin.

S. COOKE. April 14. 1808

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME, 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 con- siderable 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 disturbed 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 expences 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.
EDITOR. Printers in the U. States will please to give this advertisement an insertion in their respective papers, and such as demand it will be paid at this office. Booksellers supplied on liberal terms, and all orders will be punctually attended to. Alex. 18th June, 1808.
