On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers.

And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

From the WASHINGTON FEDERALIST.
NORTH CAROLINA, Aug. 31, 1808.
SIR,
I am in the regular habit of reading as well the National Intelligencer, edited by Mr. Smith, at Washington, as your paper, being a subscriber to both; and through your paper (as the privilege might not be accorded to be by Mr. Smith) I beg leave to be indulged with a few remarks relative to the late congressional elections in this state: with a view to correct some errors, into which he has fallen on this subject, and which ought not to escape notice. In his paper of the 16th he says, "the greatest exertions were made by the opposition party to gain their point at the election which took place on Thursday and Friday last in the state of North Carolina."—Now, it is a fact, and to their reproach be it told, that the exertions of the federalists of this state at the late election, were confined to five of the twelve congressional districts.
Mr. Smith is ever this informed, that in 4 out of those 5 districts, federal candidates were successful against true-blooded democratic candidates, members of the last memorable session of Congress, the worthy subjects of Mr. Smith's eulogistic press, successful, by majorities so decided, as to afford no equivocal proofs to their disappointed opponents, to Mr. Jefferson's jesuitical little printer, and his more jesuitical master, that blind confidence, perpetual embargoes, the dictatorial influence of a foreign despot in our cabinet, the support of a pensioned traitor at the head, and the appointment of foreign renegades, daring revilers of Washington and hireling advocates of French tyranny and usurpation, to the subordinate commands of our army, with a long &c. of various other measures quodum generis , form no proof of the political creed of the "Yeomanry" of North Carolina. Mr. Smith next informs the public, that "amongst other absurd and wilful misrepresentations the planters were told by printed handbills, assiduously circulated on the eve of the election, that salt would be four or five dollars a bushel in the ensuing autumn from the effects of the embargo." Protesting against the inference that an opinion, that such will be the effect of the embargo in the article of salt would be absurd, or even improbable, (for already it is advanced in price 50 per cent) yet it is believed by one who is no indifferent spectator of these elections, and whose eyes and ears were well awake to all the topics of discussion to which they gave rise, that the probable effects of the embargo on the price of salt was not one of them, much less that it formed the subject of "printed handbills assiduously circulated on the eve of election."—This assertion of Mr. Smith therefore, if not the creature of his own foreboding imagination, or the anticipation of a wicked conscience, must be the groundless suggestion of some mortified democrat, sympathising with Mr. Smith in his chagrin, and kindly anxious to allay his grief with temporary, but fallacious consolation. No, Mr. Smith, the blunders, the incapacity, the folly, and the wickedness of that administration, which all your feeble powers have been so long prostituted to support, have at length become so obvious, and palpable to the sense, that to render it unpopular, a resort to the democratic artifices of falsehood and calumny, ever disdained by federalists, is not necessary.
On the other hand, I should greatly exceed the limits proper to be observed in this communication, should I undertake to enumerate but a small part of the innumerable host of absurd and base falsehood, wilful misrepresentations, and infamous impositions, circulated and attempted to be practised on the people, in our late elections, by those, of whom Mr. Smith, most impudently and hypocritically, says "they owe not their popularity to artifice or misrepresentation." It will be proper here barely to mention, that in one of the districts all Mr. Jefferson's newly levied recruits for his army of 6000 men, marched to the hustings in a body, and voted of course for his civil corps—as did also, their officers and such of the navy as could be spared from the arduous duty of annoying our commerce. This interference of the military at our elections, is illy brooked by the people, and was in defiance of the opinions of our soundest lawyers. We should like to learn from that profound civilian, Mr. Madison, or in some future number of the "Farmer," how far these votes of the soldiery have the sanction of his approbation. Let me now pursue this arch foe of an editor a little further.—In his paper of the 22d, he says, "It is with pleasure we have it in our power to state the result of several other districts in North Carolina, in which this state have not disappointed the high opinion we have entertained of her." Oh, you insinuating ROGUE!—
Wheedler, this is truly your first rate silky milky style," but on what do you found these self-transporting gratulations? Why in Mr. Macon's district the votes were for Mr. Macon, 2000. For any other person not one.
Mr. Macon is therefore indubitably elected! And Mr. Stanford is elected in his district, though opposed by a federalist of great personal influence.
Strange indeed! that Mr. Macon should have the votes of his district, when he had no opponent! Stranger still! that this should be relied on as proof that his constituents approve the conduct of the administration, and the late measures of congress; as well might the re-election of John Randolph be cited, to prove that his supporters were the advocates of Messrs. Jefferson and Madison, and considered the embargo act as a master-stroke of policy. The truth is that both Mr. Macon and Mr. Stanford have resisted the embargo and many other the most exceptionable parts of the ruinous system of public measures pursued by our government. The federalists are less disposed to quarrel with them, than Mr. Jefferson's admirers are. The gentleman opposed to Mr. Stanford, tho' of federal politics, and respectable talents, it is thought failed in his election from his backwardness in coming out with a full and explicit declaration of decided federal principles and reprobation of the Jeffersonian system of politics. In the district lately represented by Mr. Blackledge, "for which, (says Smith) we entertain some fears, but trust to the good sense of his constituents." His fears happily turn out to be well founded, and we shrewdly suspect, that when this finessing, cunning editor penned this remark, Mr. Stanly's election was as well known to him as it was to us. Their constituents at this difficult and alarming crisis of their affairs, have concluded that it would be more prudent and wise to trust the good sense of Mr. Stanly than to jeopardize their dearest interests by further confidence in the sense of Mr. Blackledge. Nor is it supposed, that it will be matter of a moment's regret with one of them that for this transfer of their confidence, they are denounced by Mr. Jefferson's editor, as having forfeited their pretensions to " good sense ." This unfortunate editor will have equal cause to bemoan the defection, degeneracy and folly of the people of the district lately represented by gen. Blount, who has been most ungratefully and cruelly turned to the " right about ," notwithstanding "the patriotic part (said by Mr. Smith in his paper of the 8th) to be taken by him during the last session of congress," and the " public dinner ," and " spirited address ," presented him on the occasion by the citizens of Tarborough. They have, however, had the generosity to relieve him from "the sacrifice of his personal feelings to the good of his country," so disinterestedly tendered by him.—Mr. Smith might perhaps have aided general Blount's election, and the republican cause throughout the union, had he paid the general the usual compliment of a full insertion of his reply to the Tarborough address. It certainly would have borne no mean comparison with the stupid, heterogenous, disjointed stuff with which he is filling his columns, under the signature of Juriscola, or with the doughty performances of major Fenwick.
To conclude, when it shall be understood, that at this time North Carolina has but one federal representative on the floor of congress, and that at the next congress she will have at least four; that there were but five federal candidates at the late elections, all opposed by the now sitting members, and no opposition of any kind in several of the districts for which republican gentlemen are returned, that the current of public opinion sets " deep and strong " against those who have swindled themselves into the confidence of the people, and a conviction pervades all parts of the state, that by concert and activity, among the federalists at the late election, its whole representation might have been federalized. It will then be perceived how little cause Mr. Smith has for the exultation which he affects at the result of our late elections, and which is but one of his accustomed tricks to buoy up for a little the fainting spirits of his sinking patron. The ensuing election for president and vice president will, it is hoped, afford a juster criterion by which to test the strength of federalism and the popularity of Mr. Jefferson's administration in this state. We do not despair of the success of an unanimous anti-Madisonian ticket.
A NORTH CAROLINIAN.
STATE OF NAPLES.
Extract of a letter from Palermo, dated May 31.
"You were informed, in my last letter, of the loss of Scylla and Reggio. This however, is of little consequence, as the mass in Calabria have, since that period, had continual skirmishes with the French in every quarter of both Calabrias.—A few days ago intelligence was received that the Calabrese mass had landed on the shore of Gijoa, after taking possession of the little fort, and killing all the garrison. They afterwards marched to the woods of Rosarno, where the French and Neapolitan force attacked them. The action was bloody, and lasted for several hours, but ter-
minated to the advantage of the mass; many hundreds of the French and Neapolitans were killed, and many of them taken prisoners, amongst whom, it is reported, is the Prince Strongon Pignatelli.—It is clearly ascertained that the French have concentrated themselves in Reggio, Scylla, and Monteleone, and are beaten by the mass in every encounter. At Cozenza, both those who have been hitherto French partisans, and the mass have revolted. This compelled the French to quit their head quarters, and they burnt the hospital with 200 wounded French.—The French partisans in general are believed, in consequence of the cruelties and ill usage they have received from the French, to have repented, and to be disposed to make common cause with the Royalists. Should this be the case, the kingdom of Naples, together with the capital, must revert to its legitimate master. The mass in the Acruzzo are very near Vena- cles. Not a month elapses, but they intercept the French mails and dispatches from and to Naples, which they bring to Palermo. They lately intercepted a mail, and killed four French dragoons who escorted it, together with the courier. It is scarcely possible to express the fear which the French in both Calabrias are actuated by at this moment; suffice it to say, that no one is allowed to be out of his house after nine o'clock at night, under pain of death. No one is allowed to go to church, except on Sunday. Only one mass is allowed to be celebrated at a time, and then only in the presence of a centinel, for fear the inhabitants should converse together. In the same manner they are prevented, as far as possible, from conversing together at home. The cathedral alone is allowed to be opened on Sunday, the other churches are shut. It remains to be seen, whether the Calabrese will suffer such government to exist.
From the news brought from Naples, it is known, that great want and misery prevail there. The population are in despair, and are ready to revolt, but they are not quite ripe for it, because our king does not wish them to carry it into practice at present. The poor people therefore suffer, in the hope that the king will at length send them succours, to enable them to carry such a project into effect. I doubt, however, whether the Neapolitans will any longer bear their sufferings.—Joseph Buonaparte has issued a proclamation stating, that he had been obliged to accompany his wife to Milan for the benefit of her health, the air of Naples not agreeing with her, and therefore recommending to his faithful subjects the defence of his states (such is the language of an infamous usurper!) At the same time, however, the gendarmes who were established by the French government have been disarmed. Every body is required under the penalty of death, to provide themselves with a card of safety, at an expence per month of 10 carlino (about 3s. 8d.) for every housekeeper; 75 grana (about 2s. 8d.) for every one of the family; and 26 grana for every servant. You have here the deplorable state of the unfortunate kingdom of Naples, after two years and a half of French government. God preserve this poor kingdom from the effects of the despair of the people. The French themselves openly declare, that they are perfectly aware they cannot stay, the inhabitants being a set of brigands, never to be tamed, even if the whole French force was to be collected there. Every day, therefore, of their stay seems to them a day too long. I trust in Divine Mercy for compassion on the people, and hope those who now govern us will soon be thoroughly convinced that it could be much better to be tranquil in their own country, than govern under the influence of so much fear, where they are so much hated."
From the Norfolk Publick Ledger.
Mr. EDITOR,
I am one, who am heartily sick of the Embargo, and have noticed the various means which have been devised to get rid of it. Some are for petitions to the President and Congress; this plan has many objections, and I am informed, as far as relates to the President, has failed. Others (and amongst them you, Mr. Editor) are for changing men , as the most effectual mode to produce a change of measures; but this is a slow method, though a good one. My plan is remarkable for its simplicity, and certain of success. The Embargo has already cost this poor country in loss of property, loss of revenue, etc. nearly one hundred millions of dollars, and in one year from this time will cost us as much more. Now, sir, for my plan. France wants money, and we must give it, or she must have it, which is all the same thing. Let us immediately give France 20 millions of dollars, and off goes the embargo in a moment. Away goes all the decrees, orders and restrictions, and "America, Commerce and Freedom," will once more be the song.
In order to avoid the jealousy of John Bull, and to cover our honor from the imputation of paying tribute, the Emperor's august brother Joseph, can cede us one of his newly acquired Spanish provinces, (of which the right owner at present keeps him out) say Cuba, Porto Rico, or Mexico.
If his my plan (I call it mine as no one else has ever mentioned it) is adopted, I shall offer myself a candidate for public favor and honor, but at present I remain snugly
Q in the Corner.
BOSTON, Sept. 12.
Arrived, the fast sailing ship Perseverance capt. Wilson, from the Isle of France, last from Pernambuco, (Cape St. Augustine Coast of Brazil,) in 32 days, with sugar, cotton, and ebony wood. Off the Cape of Good Hope experienced a tremendous gale of wind, in which the ship received damage. On the 27th June put into Pernambuco in distress—same night was boarded by British armed ship Alexander , (formerly of Boston) capt. Atkins, who took possession of the ship on the ground of her coming within the Orders in Council, but as she did not she was released; afterwards detained by the Portuguese government on suspicion of the cargo being French property; but released July 27. When ready for sea, got on shore and remained 9 hours, but received no damage. Capt. Wilson was treated very politely by the commander and officers of the Alexander , and the other British vessels there. Left at Pernambuco, August 8, ship Alexander , Atkins, for London in 60 days; Ad. Berkley, of London, for St. Salvador; brig Hetty , Graves, of Bristol, for do. ship Hope , Webster, of Liverpool, had arrived in distress, bound to Rio Janeiro, but was discharging; a British cutter, Lt. Drury, had touched in for a bowsprit, and had sailed for the Cape of Good Hope. The Ad. Berkley was ready for sea—her commander, (capt. Irish) informed capt. Wilson, that there had existed an embargo in the United States, but he supposed it was of short duration. A Portuguese fleet of 15 sail of merchantmen, under convoy of a frigate and a brig of war, sailed, June 23, for England. A French national brig of war, from Cayenne, had arrived about 12 leagues from Pernambuco, and landed a boat with 12 men, when 11 of the men were cut off by the Portuguese, and made prisoners of war; one man escaped with the boat. A Mr. Georges had arrived there with a letter from capt. — of Cape Cod, [for his wife] commander of the American schr. Molly , which vessel was detained at the Bay of All Saints, on her passage from Rio Janeiro for England, with a cargo of Brazil wood, which was not allowed to be exported, and it was supposed she would be condemned—the letter is on board Nancy , Smith. Flour was about 12 dollars. It was understood Buenos Ayres would shortly be attacked by the Portuguese and British. Spoke, April 30, lat. 23, 39, south, long. 33, 9, off the East Notal, ship Belvidere , Nichols, from Nantucket, out 11 months, bound on a whaling voyage; had 300 bbls. oil; captain, second and third officers very sick. Sept. 7, lat. 38 1-2, long. 62 1-2, passed an American ship of about 250 tons, yellow sides and no figure head, deeply laden, standing E. S. E. appeared to avoid speaking. Off Bermuda, a laden sloop from the U. S. bound in; informed there were no English Cruisers on our coast.—In about lat. 14, bore down to speak a sloop to obtain information of any English cruisers on our coast; when she crowded sail and could not speak her—chased and fired at her. She was under American colors and was standing S. W. Sept. 13, 15 leagues E. S. E. of Cape Ann, schr. Sarah , 14 hours from Marblehead for the Banks. The ship Nancy , Smith, of Newburyport, for Boston, (laden with sugar) sailed in company from Pernambuco, and parted with her same evening.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, September 20. Extract of a letter from London, dated July the 11th, to a commercial house in this city. The ship Amsterdam-Packet, Sisson, New York, was yesterday chartered to Charente, France. It is expected the blockading orders will shortly be rescinded. All American vessels are allowed to depart from Holland.
Translated for the Mercantile Advertiser.  EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE OF VALENCIA 8th of July.  SARAGOSSA, July 4. The following is a letter from his excellency Don Joseph Palafox, captain general of the kingdom of Arragon, to his political brother Count de Montijo: "I have obtained a complete victory at the gates of this city. The French are destroyed or put to flight. Those who have escaped have taken refuge in the olive plantations. The enemy attacked me at five different points at one and the same time; but at all of them they have been completely routed. Yesterday the enemy attacked me a second time with an earnest desire to enter the city, but they were repulsed. They offered to parley, but they received my answer in a heavy cannonade. They attempted to move, but I poured upon them a tremendous fire. In the battery I had a 24 pounder which did great execution, and the mortars were served to admiration. In short, the enemy have lost a great number of men killed and wounded. I received new vigor from the enthusiasm with which my people are animated." [Our translator informs us that the edict of proclamation by the Supreme Junta of Seville, dated 14th July, 1808, which we sent into his hands, relates only to events already published in the papers of this country; and that the Seville Gazette of the 23rd July, which we had given for the same purpose, contains local narratives, immaterial and uninteresting.]
BALTIMORE, September 21.  DISTRESSING GALE.
During the gale last evening, great damage was sustained by the shipping in the harbor. We have reason to fear that many lives were lost, and much injury sustained, more than has come to our knowledge, as many pleasure boats and bay craft were in the river at the time the gale commenced; and its violence during half an hour, from N.W. exceeded any thing of the kind witnessed for many years past. We are informed that a Packet bound to the Eastern shore was upset, from which were lost five persons; but have not learnt their names. Fifteen or twenty sail, amongst which were several fine ships, broke their fasts and were driven with great violence high and dry on the south side of the basin. We anticipate with sorrow, fearful accounts from the Bay and Coast.
Since writing the above, we are informed that one of the vessels upset was commanded by Capt. Brown, bound to Cherrystone; captain amongst the lost.
Extract of a letter to a respectable house in this city, dated  "HAVANNA, Sept. 7th 1808."
"We have had the pleasure of seeing a number of vessels coming in from your country; but after enquiring for their cargoes, we find to our great sorrow that they are all in ballast, and that your horrid Embargo continues with the same firmness as before. We do indeed think here, that Spain and her colonies ought not to suffer under measures which are hostile in their nature. Provisions continue high. Flour is Thirty Five Dollars per barrel. French silks and German linens very scarce."
At the solicitation of a number of our country friends, we shall commence, on the 9th of this month, the publication of a paper for the country, three times a week , which will contain all the matter and advertisements published in the daily paper. The price will be Five Dollars per annum . Such of our present patrons as reside on the route where the mail goes but once a week, will be furnished with the country paper in lieu of the daily one, unless ordered otherwise.

VERMONT ELECTION.
Statement of votes for governor, as far as we have been able to obtain them, which is principally from newspaper information:
   COUNTIES. Towns. Fed. Repub. Dem. do. Tichenor. Smith.    Bennington, 15 6 9 992 1296  Windham, 16 15 4 2232 827  Windsor, 15 3 12 934 2113  Rutland, 25 8 17 1441 2307  Addison, 14 8 6 1183 904  Chittenden, 17 14 3 1255 659  Franklin, 14 9 5 1101 714  Grand-Isle, 2 2 0 246 65  Orange, 19 6 13 1184 1170  Caledonia, 4 3 1 421 281  Essex, 3 2 1 144 31  76 71 11138 10368  
The following statement is from our correspondents, and other sources:
   On the west side of the mountain,   Federal majority, 5   Windham, 15 4   Windsor, 5 16   Orange, 6 13   Caledonia, 10 8   Orleans, 10 2   Essex, 4 3   56 46  
N. B. As it is true, that the west side of the mountain have such a majority—the above cannot be far from the real standing of the votes, allowing the Orleans statement correct.
At any rate, if the Orleans statement is right, there will be nine or ten federal majority. Governor Tichenor, as we said in our last paper, will be elected—so will the federal council—and certainly two, and we believe three, out of the four federal members to congress; but as the papers in the state have not thought it of consequence to give any statement of the votes for congress representatives, we cannot calculate with certainty.
The cargo of the schooner War Hawk, Chamings, from Cayenne, for New York, is carried into Antigua, cargo condemned, and vessel cleared. This vessel went out in ballast, and on her return was captured, and the cargo condemned, on the principle that it belonged to a Frenchman on board.
Flour at Antigua, the 4th September, 22 dollars, rice 12, tobacco 50 per cwt. pork 32, beef 26, corn 3 dollars per bushel, peas 2 50, rum 3s. 9d. Exchange 100.
MILITARY EXPEDITION.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Halifax, to a merchant in Boston, dated September 7.
"The troops here, commanded by sir George Prevost, are under orders for a distant secret expedition, and are nearly prepared. The number is about 4000. There are various conjectures as to the place of destination. Some persons suppose they are bound to Spain or Portugal, to assist the patriots; some that they are going against a French colony."
The above orders will serve to shew that no idea is now entertained of a war with the United States.
When the flood gate is open, and the feeding streams dammed up, the mill pond will soon run dry. A million a year to the army and all the out goes from the treasury, while all revenue is prevented by the embargo from coming in, will soon drain the treasury as dry as the mill pond. Then farmers look out.
The following doleful complaint is from the Richmond Enquirer .
"In one respect, the advocates of the Embargo do not stand upon equal ground. The evils and inconveniencies of the embargo are before our eyes. They are facts, on which any man can expatiate and reason. But the evils of any other expedient are not completely realised. We can speculate on them with immense force of reasoning. But it is still, for the most part, speculation combating experience; conception combating fact. Those therefore, who advocate this measure, though they are surrounded by the strongest probabilities, are yet obliged to contrast facts, which no man can destroy, with probabilities, which prejudice may deny, or ignorance may not understand."
This is a hard case indeed, and I pity the poor creatures who are obliged in consequence of their situations to advocate such a measure. For with whatever "immensity of force," they may speculate; they will find that they cannot get rid of stubborn facts, and that ten thousand probabilities are not equal to one reality. (Fed. Repub.)
It is said, that in an interview with a deputation of the merchants of Bayonne, NAPOLEON asked them how commerce prospered. "We have none," said the deputies. Have you capitals? "Yes." What! merchants with money and not know how to employ it? "Too true, sire." Do you owe any thing? "No, your majesty." Then be contented, for you are better off than your emperor, he is in debt.
We insert the following, rather as an instance of fanciful research, than as an interpretation of prophecy, either probable in its result, or consistent with the section of inspiration in which it stands.

Prophecy of the downfall of Bonaparte.
REVELATION, xiii. 1 & 18.—And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having Seven Heads and Ten Horns, and upon his Horns Ten Crowns, and upon his Heads the name of Blasphemy.
* Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast—for it is the number of a man; and his number is SIX HUNDRED THREE SCORE AND SIX.
Explanation of the Table.
The letters in alphabetical order, with the figures attached to each show the Numerical portion of time: and by comparing the letters of his name with those in the first column will bring the number alluded to—SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIX, viz.

The beast is said to have arisen out of the sea. Bonaparte is a Corsican, and Corsica is an island surrounded by the sea.
From the New York Oracle.
THE MUFFLED DRUM.
"Favete linguis." "With mute attentions wait." HORACE.
Ah me! how sorrowful and slow, With arms revers'd the soldiers come, Dire-sounding trumpets, full of woe, And sad to hear the muffled drum!
Advancing to the house of prayer, Still sadder flows the doleful strain, Ev'n Industry forgets his care, And joins the melancholy train!
O, after all the toils of war, How blest the brave man lays him down! His bed is a triumphal car, His grave his glory and renown.
What though no friends nor kindred dear! To grace his obsequies, attend; His comrades are his brothers here; And every hero is his friend.
See love and truth, all woe begone, And beauty drooping in the crowd, Their thoughts intent on him alone, Who sleeps forever in his shroud!
Again the trumpet slowly sounds, The soldiers last funeral hymn! Again, the muffled drum rebounds, And every eye with grief is dim.
The generous steed which late he rode, Seems, too, its master to deplore; And follows to his last abode, The warrior—who returns no more.
For him, far hence, a mother sighs, And fancies comforts yet to come! He'll never bless her longing eyes— She'll only hear the muffled drum!
