PROSPECTUS OF A PAPER
TO BE PRINTED IN ALEXANDRIA, ENTITLED, THE COLUMBIAN.
THE Subscriber, anxious to establish a Paper whose contents and principles shall 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 to 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 overweening partiality on the other. The Editor's selections shall be made with care and attention, ever sacrificing for any purpose the real interest 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 political matter, that the columns of a paper should be supplied with moral disquisitions, practically useful and interesting, and instructive anecdotes from historic research. Nor can this course be well objected to by those whose feelings are alive to the cause of genuine morality and religion. The Editor calculates with confidence upon receiving from those whose education and means of information will authorize it, a copious supply of materials on these subjects. His paper will be at all times open to receive the reflections of the man of science, or the deep research of the critical scholar.
Communications upon all matters, touching Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, together with plans for the general improvement in Canals, public Roads, and the various discoveries in any branch of learning 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 mind of politics cause a difference of sentiment, and not those general and universally admitted 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 assumed no stand on the important subject of politics, no! on the contrary, he unequivocally declares, that his sentiments are decidedly republican.
As soon as 400 subscribers shall be obtained this paper will be printed, weekly, at 25 cents per ann. payable, half yearly, in advance, 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 offered, after the commencement of the paper, it will be published three times a week.
Having made arrangements for the necessary materials, and contracted with a gentleman 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 Coffee House and at the principal Book Stores,
T. Longden.

THE POEM
Which we present to our readers, has just ap- peared at Boston. It is a prodigy from a youthful pen. It needs no invitation to a perusal more than this; and the reader must be void of taste or patriotism who will lay it aside before he has finished it.—North American.
THE EMBARGO, A SATIRE.
BY A YOUTH OF THIRTEEN.
"When private faith and public trust are sold, And traitors barter liberty for gold, When fell corruption, dark, and deep-like fate, Saps the foundation of a sinking state; Then warmer numbers glow thro' Satire's page, And all her smiles are darkened into rage; Then keener indignation fires her eye, Then flash her lightnings and her thunders fly." ESSAY ON SATIRE.
LOOK where we will, and in whatever land Europe's rich soil, a Afric's burning sand; Where the wild savage hunts his wilder prey, Or art and science pour their brightest day; The monster Vice appears before our eyes, In naked impudence or gay disguise.
But quit the lesser game, indignant Muse, And to thy country turn thy nobler views: Ill-fated clime! condemn'd to feel th' extremes Of a weak ruler's philosophic dreams; Driv'n headlong on to ruin's fateful brink, When will thy country feel, when will she think!
Wake, Muse of Satire, in the cause of trade, Thou scourge of miscreants, who the laws evade! Dart thy keen glances—knit thy threat'ning brows, And hurl thine arrows at fair Commerce' foes!
Much injur'd Commerce, 'tis thy falling cause, Which, from obscurity, a stripling draws; And were his pow'rs but equal to his zeal, Thy dastard foes his keen reproach should feel. Curse of our nation, source of countless woes, From whose dark womb unreckon'd misery flows; Th' EMBARGO rages like a sweep winding, Fear low'rs before, Famine can paint the mourn- ful scene, The saddening street, the desolated green; How hungry laborers leave their toil, and sigh, And sorrow droops in each desponding eye!
See the bold Sailor from the ocean torn, His element—sink friendless and forlorn! His suffering spouse the tear of anguish shed, His starving children cry in vain for bread!
The Farmer, since supporting trade is fled, Leaves the rude yoke, and cheerless hangs his head; Misfortunes fall, an unremitting shower, Debts follow debts—on taxes, taxes pour. See in his stores his hoarded produce rot, Or sheriff-sales his produce come to naught; Disheartening cares in thronging myriads flow, Till down he sinks to poverty and woe!
Oh, ye bright pair, the blessings of man- kind, Whom time has sanction'd, and whom fate has join'd Commerce, that bears the trident of the main, And Agriculture, empress of the plain; Who, hand in hand, and heav'n-directed, go, Diffusing gladness through the world below; Who'er the wretch, would hurl the flaming brand, Of dire disunion—palsied be his hand! Like Cromwell 'damned to everlasting fame,' Let unborn ages execrate his name. Dark is the scene, yet darker prospects threaten.
And ills may follow unexperienc'd yet! Oh Heaven! defend, as future seasons roll, This western world from Bonaparte's control, Preserve our freedom, and our rights secure, While truth subsists, and virtue shall endure!
Lo, Austria crouches to the tyrant's stroke, And Rome's proud states receive the galling yoke; Kings fall before him—for his sway extends, Where'er his all subduing course he bends. See Lusitania's fate—and shall we say, Turn not our feet, that tread the self-same way?
Must we with Belgia, and Helvetia mourn, In vile subjection, abject, and forlorn? Our laws laid prostrate and our freedom fled, Our independence, boasted valor dead?
We, who seven years erst brav'd Britannia's power, By Heaven supported in the gloomiest hour; For whom our sages plann'd, our heroes bled,
Whom WASHINGTON, our pride and glo- ry led; Till Heaven propitious, did our efforts crown, With freedom, commerce plenty and renown!
When shall this land, some courteous an- gel say, Throw off a weak and erring ruler's sway? Rise injur'd people, vindicate your cause! And prove your love of liberty and laws; Oh wret, sole refuge of a sinking land, The sceptre from the slave's imbecile hand! Oh ne'er consent, obsequious, to advance The willing vassal of imperious France! Correct that suffrage you misus'd before, And lift your voice above a Congress' roar!
But vain are reason, eloquence and art, And vain the warm effusions of the heart. Ev'n while I sing, see faction urge her claim, Mislead with falsehood, and with zeal inflame, Lift her broad banner, spread her empire wide, And stalk triumphant, with a fury's stride. She blows her brazen trump, & at the sound, A motley throng obedient flock around; A mist of changing hue, o'er all, she flings, And darkness perches on her dragon wings!
As Johnson deep, as Addison refin'd, And skill'd to pour conviction o'er the mind, Oh might some Patriot rise, the gloom dis- pel, Chase errors mist, & break her magic spell!
But vain the wish, for hark! the murmur- ing meed, Of hoarse applause, from yonder shed pro- ceed: Emer, and view the thronging concourse there, Intent, with gaping mouth, and stupid stare, While in the midst their supple leader stands, Harangues aloud, and flourishes his hands; To adulation tunes his servile throat, And sues, successful, for each blockhead's vote.
"Oh, were I made a ruler in the land, Your rights no man can better understand; For the dear people, how my bowels yearn! That such may govern, be your chief con- cern; Then federal tyranny shall flee away, And mild democracy confirm her sway." The powerful influence of the knave's address, In capers droll, the foolish dupes confess, With horrid shouts the affrighted sky is rent, And high in air their tatter'd hats are sent.
But should truth shine, distinguishingly bright, And lay his falsehoods naked to the sight; He tries new arts to blind their willing eyes, Feeds with new flatteries, hammers out new lies: Exerts his influence, urges all his weight, To blast the laurels of the good and great; Till reconfirm'd, the fools uphold him still, Their creed his dicum , and their law his will.
Now morning rises, borne on golden wings, And fresh to toil the waking pushboy springs; Lo, trudging on his raw-bon'd steed, he hies, Dispensing Suns, and Chronicles, and Spys; Men uninform'd in rage for something new, Howe'er unprincipled—howe'er untrue, Suck in with greedy throat, the gilded pill, Whose fatal sweetness pleases but to kill. Wide, and more wide, the dire contagion flies, Till half the town is overwhelm'd with lies. Hence that delusion, hence that furious zeal, Which wrong heads cherish, and which hot heads feel.
In vain Italia boasts her genial clime, Her Rome's proud tow'rs, and palaces sub- lime; In vain the hardy Swiss, inur'd to toil, Draw scant subsistence from a stubborn soil; Both doom'd alike, to feel, in evil hour, The giant grasp of huge despotic power. Touch not their shores, fair freedom is not there, But far remote, she breathes Columbian air; Yet here her temple totters to its fall, Our rulers bowing to audacious Gaul!
Oh, let not prating History proclaim The foul disgrace, the scandal to our name! Write not the deed, my hand! Oh may it lie, Plung'd deep, and mantled in obscurity: Forbid it, Heaven! that while true honor reigns, And ancient valor glows within our veins; (Our standard Justice, and our shield our God) We e'er should tremble at a despot's nod.
Oh, may the laurels of unrivall'd fame, For ever flourish round your honor'd name. Ye, who enthralld by prejudice or power, Determin'd stood in that eventful hour; Tore the dire secret from the womb of night, And bar'd your country's infamy to light. Go boldly on, the deep-laid plot unfold, Tho' much is known, yet much remains un- told. But chief to thee our gratitude belongs, Oh Pickering! who hast scann'd thy country's wrongs, Whose ardent mind, and keen discerning eye, Pierc'd the deep veil of Gallic policy; And in whose well-tim'd labours, we admire, The sage's wisdom and the patriot's fire.
Rise then, Columbians, heed not France's wiles, Her bullying mandates, her seductive smiles; Send home Napoleon's slave, and bid him say, No arts can lure us, and no threats dismay; Determined yet to war with whom we will, Choose our own allies or be neutral still.
Ye merchants, arm—the pirate Gaul repel, Your prowess skill the naval triumph swell; Send the marauders shatter'd, whence they came, And Gallia's cheek suffuse with crimson shame.
But first select, our councils to direct, One whose true worth entitles to respect; In whom concentrates all that men admire, The sage's prudence, and the soldier's fire; Who scorns ambition, and the venal tribe, And neither offers, nor receives a bribe; Who firmly guards his country's every right, And shines alike in council or in fight.
Then on safe seas the merchant's barque shall fly, Our waving flag shall kiss the polar sky; On canvas wings our thunders shall be borne, Far to the west, or tow'rd the rising morn; Then may we dare a haughty tyrant's rage, And gain the blessings of an unborn age.
'Tis done, behold the cheerful prospects rise, And splendid scenes the startled eye surprise; Lo, busy Commerce courts the prosperous main; And peace and plenty glad our shores again: Th' industrious swain sees nature smile a- round, His fields with fruit, with flocks his pastures crown'd.
Thus, in a fallen tree, from sprouting roots, With sudden growth, a tender sapling shoots, Improves from day to day, delights the eyes With strength and beauty, stateliness & size, Puts forth robust arms, and broader leaves, And high in air, its branching head upheaves.
Turn now our views to Europe's ravag'd plains, Where murd'rous war, with grim oppression reigns; There long and loud the storm of battle roars, With direful portent to our distant shores; The regal robber, rages uncontrolld, No law restrains him, and no faith can hold; Before his steps, lo, cowering terror flies, And pil'd behind him, heaps of carnage rise. With fraud or force, he spreads his iron sway, And blood and rapine mark his frightful way!
Thus some huge rock of ice, on Green- land's shore, When bound in frost the surges cease to roar, Breaks loosen'd from its base, with mighty sweep, And thunders horrid o'er the frozen deep!
While thus, all Europe rings with his a- larms, Say, shall we rush, unthinking, to his arms? No: let us dauntless all his fury brave, Our fluttering flag, in freedom's gale shall wave, Our guardian Sachem's errless shafts shall fly, And terrors lighten from our eagle's eye!
Here then I cease, rewarded, if my song, Shall prompt one honest mind, tho' guided wrong, To pause from party—view his country's state, And lend his aid to stem approaching fate!
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN. To lay before our readers the intelli- gence from England by the Batavia ar- rived at New York from Cork, we have published our paper at an early hour.
The state of our relations with France appears to be such as might be expected to be produced by an incompetent and par- tial administration of our affairs. Justice has seldom been obtained from other na- tions by temporising expedients or mean submissions. In the present age, in par- ticular, abstract deductions of right from appeals to reason and consistency, have been contemned by others, whilst we have unfortunately affected to rely upon nothing else. Thus it has happened that the ad- ministration has been doing in hancled state of security and has left its charge defenceless to the mercy of accident or the commiseration of enemies. Not even the insolence and menace of Champagne's letter have been sufficient to rouse them; and, as if they had not had sufficient ex- perience in their own transactions with Bonaparte, that he never departs from the measures he dictates to those who crouch, they probably loaded the Osage with another cargo of submissions.
There is abundant reason to think that all our property has ere now been confis- cated throughout the continent and our absent citizens immured as prisoners. The first is to be inferred from the threats of Champagne's letter, of the probable effect of which the Osage must have conveyed
the intelligence. The secret may be rea- sonably supposed to follow from the refusal of passports to the request of Mr. Am- strong in behalf of his countrymen. In former instances peaceable citizens sur- prised by a state of war, have been permit- ted to depart. Bonaparte has however revived the ferocious maxims of savage times, detaining them as hostages, and treating them with rigor.
What is to be the next step of this insa- tiated administration, it is difficult to an- ticipate. That they will remain inert and passive would be probable; but for the na- tural principle of self-preservation, "The smallest worm will turn, when trod upon."
For what has happened, somebody is responsible. We are not suffering under accidental misfortunes. Incapacity or trea- chery hath done it. Liberty is the pride of the nation, and strong is its arm for de- fence. It never will acquiesce in the li- censing way of its liberties. Perish the base arts of demagogues, who have led us to the precipice. We shall show that we are not an herd of cattle to be sacrificed at the whim of rulers, who have forgotten their promises, and whose intollable presump- tion stands at length exposed.
FROM THE CONNECTICUT HERALD.
Messrs. Printers,
I HAVE lately observed in the Ame- rican Citizen, the New York Clintonian paper, and the Public Advertiser, the Ma- disonian paper, conjectural statements of votes for our next president; the former estimates that governor Clinton will have 90 votes out of the 175 which are to be given by the different electors previous to next March; and the latter claims 108 for James Madison. Now, Messrs. Printers, I believe I am as much possessed of the gift of prophecy as either of the editors of the above papers; and therefore present the public with my statement—and if peo- ple may have an inclination to laugh at it, I give them full liberty to indulge them- selves, even to a horse laugh.
PROBABLE VOTES FOR NEXT PRESIDENT. Fed. Clint. Mad. N. Hampshire, (a) gen. ticket, 7 0 0 Massachusetts (b) Legislature 19 0 0 Rhode Island, (c) gen. ticket, 4 0 0 Connecticut, legislature, 9 0 0 Vermont (d) do. 6 0 0 New York, do. 19 0 0 New Jersey, (e) gen. ticket, 8 0 0 Pennsylvania (f) do. 20 0 0 Delaware, legislature, 3 0 0 Maryland (g) districts, 5 4 2 Virginia, gen. ticket, 0 0 28 N.

NOTES.
(a) New Hampshire chooses her electors next fall by a general ticket. The fe- derals are lately met, and upon the choice of speaker, the federalists had 72 votes, and the democrats 89, though last year the democrats had 3 to 1. This increase was obtained with little or no exertion, and therefore I do not hazard much when I say, that a majority of the citizens of New Hampshire are federalists, and will of course choose electors who hold to the principles of federalism.
(b) In this state there is no fixed law for choosing electors. The constitution of the U. S. says that they shall be chosen as the legislatures of the several states shall direct—and as the federalists have a major- ity in both branches of the legislature, they will probably pass a resolution to choose the electors themselves.
(c) The Rhode Island electors are cho- sen next fall by general ticket. There ne- ver has been but a small democratic major- ity in this state; and the most influential men there, nominally democrats, are as much opposed to the present policy of our government as the federalists.
(d) The legislature of this state choos- es the electors, which legislature is chosen next fall. This is saying enough.
(e) The electors in this state are cho- sen next fall by a general ticket. The de- mocratic majority in New Jersey has al- ways been small; and once, since Mr. Jefferson has been president, the federal- ists have chosen as many representatives as the democrats, and prevented the choice of a democratic governor.
(f) In this state democracy has come to a head, and broke. Duane, Leib, and some other foreigners, by their violent, disorganizing conduct, have made more federalists than all the arguments that could be used. A gentleman from Penn

sylvania (a genuine Snyderite) lately told another gentleman belonging to this city, that he had little doubt that the federalists would succeed in that state.
(g) As the electors in this state are chosen by districts, it is expected that the federalists will obtain at least 5 out of 11 which are to be voted for.
(h) With respect to this state, it will be collected that a week or two ago, an act was published from the Washington Federalist, which stated, (as the editor said) upon respectable authority, that that state had become completely federal. I do not know what criterion the editor had to make the assertion; but this I assert, from undoubted authority, that the present governor and speaker of the house of representatives always have been federalists. Federalism has not been dead, but sleeping, in the state of North Carolina.
(i) Perhaps I may be accused of rashness in counting upon this state as being federal—but gentlemen well acquainted with its politics, give it as their opinion that there never was but a small democratic majority there. General Pinckney, in 1801, when the presidency was suspended, and the vote of the legislature of that state, had the offer of that office from a sufficient number of democrats in that legislature, which joined with the federalists would have made him president. But this offer, he, like an honest man, rejected.
(k) As a considerable part of the inhabitants of this state emigrated from Connecticut and the other N. England states, and are supposed to have carried their "steady habit" principles along with them, I think we can count upon one of the electors being federal.
All which is respectfully submitted to federalists, federal republicans, whigs, Tories, monarchists, aristocrats, Jacobins, democrats republicans, anti-federalists, Burrists, Lewisites, Clintonians and Snyderites, by their most obsequious servant,

MIDDLETOWN (Con.) June 16. Arrived, in Connecticut River, on Monday, the 13th instant the brig Thetis , of this port, J. Jones, master, in 14 days from Basseterre, St. Christophers with a cargo of rum and molasses, in return for proceeds of a former voyage. The Thetis sailed from Connecticut on the 26th April last, under permission from government.
Highly Interesting from the West Indies.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in St. Christophers, to a gentleman in this town, dated May 29, 1808.
"As you are determined that we shall not eat, we are also determined that you shall not drink any of our good rum, nor taste a single drop of our sweet molasses. I shall not pretend to give any opinion on the late measures of your government or its wisdom in laying the embargo. You will feel the ill effects of it in a much greater degree than we shall; although no doubt the West Indies will be very much inconvenienced for a time, but it will only be for a short time. To think of starving the West Indies is one of the wildest ideas that ever entered into the head of man. No country in the world is capable of producing the necessaries of life in more abundance, nor in so short a time; this, by and by, you will perhaps be convinced of.
"I enclose for your perusal his majesty's instructions transmitted by the secretary of state, to the commander in chief here, as well as those of the lords of the treasury to the collector."

GEORGE R. Instructions to the commanders of our ships of war and privateers—Given at our court at Windsor, the 11th day of April, in the 48th year of our reign.
Our will and pleasure is, that you do, not interrupt any neutral vessel laden with lumber and provisions, and going to any of our colonies, islands, or settlements in the West Indies or South America, to whomsoever the property may appear to belong, and notwithstanding such vessel may not have regular clearances and documents on board: and in case any such vessel shall be met with, and be in her due course to the alledged port of destination, an indorsement shall be made on one or more of the principal papers of such vessel, specifying the destination alledged and the place where the vessel so laden shall arrive and deliver her cargo at any of our colonies, islands, or settlements aforesaid, such vessel shall be permitted to receive her freight, and to depart, either
in ballast, or with any goods that may be legally exported in such vessel, and to proceed to any unblockaded port, notwithstanding the present hostilities, or any future hostilities which may take place; and a passport for such purpose shall be granted to the vessel by the governor, or other person, having the chief civil command in such colony, island or settlement.
G. R. The above is a copy of instructions, received by me from his majesty's principal secretary of state, for the war and colonial department.
WM. WOODLEY, Commander in chief the Leeward Islands.
TREASURY CHAMBERS, April 11th 1808.
Gentlemen, As it has been found, or may be expedient, under the present difficulties of intercourse with the U. S. to permit, under the authority of the respective governors of the British W. India Islands, for the time being, certain vessels with their cargoes, consisting of Flour, Bread, Peas, Rice and other provisions, or of Lumber the growth and produce of the U. S. of America to come into those islands from the United States, notwithstanding such vessels may not be furnished with register, clearance or passport from the port or place from the U. S. from which they may come—I am commanded by the lords commissioners of his majesty's treasury, to direct you to give such orders, as may prevent the seizure or detention of any such vessels or cargo, as may come to any of the islands by virtue of, and under such authority—and also that any such vessel may be allowed to be reported, and her cargo admitted to entry and landed, especial care being taken, that no articles be allowed to be landed from any such vessel, except such articles of provisions or lumber the growth and produce of the U. S. as aforesaid.
I am Gentlemen, Your humble servant, Wm. Huskinson.
SALEM, June 21.
SPANISH NEWS.—Mr. Peter Lander of this town, who came passenger in the schooner Hannah , which sailed from Gibraltar the 10th of May, and arrived at Marblehead on Sunday last, has favored us with the following minute, which he received from captain Joseph Young, of the ship Native , which had arrived at Gibraltar from Malaga:
"The grand duke of Berg was to be appointed regent of Spain in the absence of the royal family at Bayonne, when a grand council was to be held on the subject of the Confederation of the Rhine. Six or seven hundred Frenchmen had been killed in the suburbs of Madrid. About 100,000 Spaniards were under arms in Valencia—the same in Catalonia—armed at their own expence; and there was a spirit of universal revolt from the French domination. Every subject of Spain appears resolutely determined to oppose the French with their lives and fortunes."
If this account is founded in truth, we shall shortly hear more of it. It certainly is not a very unlikely event, that a people should revolt against their conquerors and oppressors; and the Spaniards can hardly regard the French in any other light.

On Friday last, about 12 o'clock Gen. Wilkinson commenced his defence before the Court of Enquiry. Not being able to conclude it on that day, from its great length the Court adjourned about 3 o'clock. On Saturday the General concluded his address; and it is expected that the opinion of the court will be pronounced in a few days.

A gentleman of respectability, who has just arrived in this city from Cayuga, informs, that he passed a vast number of wagons, loaded with provisions flour, and pet ash, on their way to Canada; and to markets near the American line.
The Collector on Lake Ontario has resigned, and there is now no obstruction to the exportation of produce, of which the surplus quantity in the N. and W. of this State, will have been disposed of, before the middle of next month.
Our informant adds that a force of 10,000 men upon our frontiers, could not prevent the "worthless part of the community," from pursuing a trade by which they are so rapidly accumulating fortunes.

In the circuit court of the U. S. N. J. term, at Savannah, was tried an important cause. The action was brought by the president, directors and company of the bank of the U. S. for the purpose of trying the right of the state of Georgia to impose a tax on the stock of the branch of the said bank established at Savannah. After hearing council the judge declared the plea to jurisdiction overruled, demurrer over-ruled and judgement for the defendants, viz. the tax collector and sheriff.
This decision, however, is to be reviewed in the supreme court.
The marshal of the district of South Carolina has just published a census of the inhabitants of the state; from which it appears that there are

Cork, May 15.
The official reports from the Swedish army already stated, left gen. Klingspor on the 6th April, at Kalajoiki, a town on the Gulf of Bothnia. He had reached this position after a retreat ably directed, and in which he had to endure the frequent attacks of an enemy vastly superior in number. Those attempts as we before observed produced nothing decisive. The retreating army, commanded with almost unexampled ability, was impenetrable to every effort made to break it. The posts of Kalajoiki and Ypper were maintained until the 10th. On that day the rear brigade posted at the latter place, was attacked by a superior force, and after a gallant resistance compelled to retire. In this conflict their adjutant general, count Lowenhielm, having fallen from his horse, was made a prisoner. The retreat of the Swedes was continued in good order, though exposed to incessant fighting. They reached Pytajocki little diminished were they were joined by three Swedish brigades, and thus reinforced they halted at Boahesadt. The advance of the Russians being unrelenting, they retired from this post to Sikajoiki, where they repulsed the Russians with considerable advantage in a very severe contest. From thence they withdrew to Lamjoiki, a small town at the extremity of the Gulf of Bothnia. Here they had established their headquarters April 20, the date of the last accounts. It will be observed by this detail that the Russians, with the exception of the fortress of Sweaborg, over-ran Finland, along the coast of the gulf of Bothnia, almost to the frontiers of Swedish Lapland. They have pursued this line of operation as the most important places in Finland are situated on the Gulph. The country to the eastward of the Gulph, will present scarcely any other than natural obstacles to the occupation of it.
By sea the Swedes have performed a very distinguished service. Four Swedish gun-boats, and a mortar sloop, attacked and defeated a flotilla, consisting of 28 Danish gun-boats, off Stromstadt.
The progress of the Swedish army in Norway is not stated up to a later date than has been already communicated. Ristiana, the capital of Norway, and situated on an inlet in Shagerrack, it is thought will be speedily in the possession of the Swedes. It will be an acquisition of some importance.
The island of Gothland in the Baltic, commonly termed from its commanding situation, the Tye of the Baltic, it is reported, has been taken possession of by a detachment of 10,000 French and Russians, which embarked with that object at Memel and Libau. As no official authority has sanctioned the credit of the statement, the truth of it is doubtful.
CONUNDRUM.—Why is our climate like the present administration? Because it is unstable and irregular: it hovers y and cold hen x, and because it is contrary to the constitution.

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 show 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 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.
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.

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 Mattox 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 be- nefit 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 off productive garden handsomely paled in, 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 Cope- per 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 Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foal- 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- chaser's 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. CRANFORD, esq. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
