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.
"Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another."
Mr. Smith in his official paper of Monday has displayed the fears of the administration in striking colors. He acknowledges, for the first time, that it is possible a federal president may be chosen; that is, in plain candid English, he thinks it very probable. We think so too. At all events we pronounce it impossible that Madison should be chosen, even if there should be no choice by the people, and the election should remain to be made by Congress.
Mr. Smith to keep up the spirit of his party represents things as probable which he knows are impossible. He says "there is no reason to despair of the votes of Rhode Island and New Hampshire" for Madison. He well knows that Madison has not the least prospect or hope for a vote from either of those states. He says, however, it is merely possible that the federalists will have 48 votes without New York. If they do, I pronounce it as absolutely certain that there will be a federal president.
But, for the present we will let the federal president stand on his own ground, and all will acknowledge that he stands on a good foundation; and see where Mr. Madison stands, who a few short months since, was absolutely certain of the presidency. In order to display his present situation so that it will be properly understood, we must calculate the votes which it is any way likely he will obtain. In making this statement we shall give the federal president only what votes Mr. Smith has given him, though we are satisfied he will have more in Maryland and in North Carolina.
Monroe
   States. Federal. Clinton. Madison.     New Hampshire 7 00 00   Massachusetts, 19 00 00   Rhode Island, 4 00 00   Connecticut, 9 00 00   Vermont, 6 00 00   New York, 00 19 00   New Jersey, 8 00 00   Pennsylvania, 20 00 00   Delaware, 3 00 00   Maryland, 4 4 3   Virginia, 00 00 24   North Carolina, 4 8 4   South Carolina, 00 19 00   Georgia, 00 6 00   Kentucky, 00 4 4   Tennessee, 00 1 4   Ohio, 00 0 3   84 50 42  
From the above statement it is very plain that Mr. Madison will have the least number of votes of either of the candidates, allowing him the votes of Virginia, which are very uncertain, considering the exertions Mr. Monroe's friends are making in that state. Which of the candidates the moderate democrats will run, whether Mr. Monroe or Mr. Clinton, is not for us to determine; they know their own business. But at all events, let them run which they will, he will have more votes than Mr. Madison, and if they can carry their ticket in Virginia he will stand a great chance of being president.
We now come to Mr. Smith's last hope, and this any one may perceive is a forlorn hope, but it is all the hope that he now has; which is, that if there should be no choice by the people, Congress will make Mr. Madison president. Let us suppose that the votes when counted should stand as we have placed them, or that Madison had only 42, which is as many as he now can expect, and the remainder were divided between the other candidates in any way, only so as not to make a choice; I would ask Mr. Smith if he thinks Congress would appoint Mr. Madison? Does he think their consciences would permit them to do it? Or if they could stretch their consciences to it, would they dare to do it?
A certain cure for the Dysentery in the worst stages of the disease.
This remedy is very simple; and is communicated by one who has experienced its good effects, and known it practised on many others with like success, when given over by skillful physicians; and as this is the season of the year when its prevalence, is greater than at any other, it is hoped that Printers of newspapers will give it publicity. The receipt is—one gill of sweet oil, one gill of W. I. Rum, and one gill of W. I. Molasses.—Simmer these together, and stir them till well mixed. The quantity to be taken is, for a grown person one table spoonful every hour, and children a due proportion till relieved.
FROM THE NEW ORLEANS TELEGRAPH.
New Orleans, August 10, 1808.
GENTLEMEN,
I have read in the Telegraph of yesterday, a statement of the affair of Mr. Owings, commanding gun-boat No. 21, as represented by Messrs. Philip Hickey and Samuel Fulton, to his excellency the civil and military governor of the fort and jurisdiction of Baton Rouge in West Florida.
I shall make no reply to the illiberal remarks which follow the above mentioned statement, further than the two following letters which I send for your publication, the perusal of which, I presume, will quiet every liberal mind until our government have decided.
I have received through the mayor of the city, governor Grand Pre's statement of the case, with a demand for satisfaction, have written him through the same channel, and sent him copies of those letters, as well as one on the subject to the hon. Secretary of the Navy.
I should not probably have troubled you in this affair, did it not appear evident that the editor of the Telegraph, or some other evil disposed person, was desirous of adding to the recent tumults of the city by swelling this ant hill to a mountain.
Respectfully,
D. PORTER, commanding officer, N. O. station.

Manchac, July 22, 1808. On board No. 21.
SIR,
After the departure of Mr. Still, master's mate, on the 15th instant, nothing material happened until the 18th, when two men, (who with several others were sent to the wood, to cut some spars) deserted. They were missed about noon, when search was immediately made for them, but without success. Towards night I got intelligence that they were in the Spanish territory, and proceeding to Baton Rouge; at night I procured a horse and went in pursuit of them. I arrived at Baton Rouge early in the morning of the 19th instant, and found I had got ahead of the deserters; on my return I fell in with and seized them one mile below Baton Rouge; when conducting them to the gun-boat, one of them was taken so ill I was obliged to leave him on the way, the other (Armstrong by name) found means to excite the interest of some inhabitants of the Spanish territory, who went on before me to the next Spanish officer, who demanded that I should immediately liberate him; at this juncture I could do no other than comply with their demand. Armstrong had formerly deserted from No. 17, and had been taken at New Orleans, and by commodore Leonard's order put on board No. 21, shortly before I left that place.
It was late in the evening when I quit my second man. I returned immediately to the gun-boat, got the small boat ready and set out with four hands, with the intention to wait a small distance below Baton Rouge, where I thought it probable Armstrong would pass the next morning. Arrived at the place last mentioned early on the morning of the 20th, and had not waited long before Armstrong made his appearance; on sight of me he retreated to a house hard by, demanding protection of the inhabitants. The men from the boat thinking from my stay, and seeing me in pursuit of a man, that there might be some difficulty, rushed into the house armed with cutlasses, tho' contrary to my orders, as I had not given the concerted signal.
I immediately put Armstrong on board the boat and returned on board the gun-boat, taking on my return the other deserter.
I expected this would be the end of it, but this day three Spanish officers, in the name of governor Grand Pre, demanded the man which I had taken in the Spanish territory: I have refused to comply with their demand, and informed the officers I should not deliver up the men until I received orders from you, and shall accordingly wait your orders.
I am, with great respect, Yours, &c. (Signed)
JOHN C. OWINGS.

New Orleans, July 24, 1808.
SIR,
I am honored by your communication respecting the two men who deserted from your vessel on the 18th, your manner of proceeding to obtain them, and the demand
made on you for them in the name of gov. Grand Pre.
I do not approve of your first mode of proceeding to apprehend them, if there was a possibility of obtaining, on application, the aid of the civil or military authorities of Spain to effect it.
The second mode I totally disapprove of. After formally applying to the governor for him, you should, if refused, have represented to me that the man was rescued by the Spanish officer, who would have become the accountable person for him. I should have either applied for him or represented the affair to the hon. Secretary of the Navy of the U. S. and thus it would have taken a proper course.
As you now have the men on board you will please to keep possession of them, until I can receive instructions from the hon. Secretary, to whom I have transmitted your letter.
I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed)
D. PORTER.

LONDON, July 5.
DINNER AT THE CITY OF LONDON TAVERN,
In Compliment to the Deputies of the Spanish Nation.
Yesterday the illustrious personages who have visited this country on the most important mission in the history of modern diplomacy, were entertained at this tavern, the principal apartments of which were prepared in great haste for their reception. At about half past six the noble foreigners arrived, and, accompanied by the British ministers, entered the room, where they were received by nearly three hundred of the principal merchants, bankers and traders of the city of London, and by most of the heads of the incorporated companies. About 100 more persons dined in an adjacent apartment, and joined their friends when the cloth was removed, and sufficient accommodation could be afforded.
The following were the toasts first given some of which were introduced by short observations from the chair, complimentary to the illustrious persons named in them:
 "The King."  "The Queen."  "The Prince of Wales and Royal Family."  "Ferdinand the VIth, King of Spain."  "The Prince Regent of Portugal and the House of Braganza."  "The King of Sweden."  "The King of the Two Sicilies."  "The President of the United States of America." 
The only interruption of the general harmony of the meeting occurred when this last toast was announced: and the marks of disapprobation continued until a new subject drew the attention of the company.
The conviviality of the evening having proceeded, the chairman rose and said, that he had to propose a very few sentiments to the gentlemen present, which he was confident would meet with their cordial assent and approbation. Sir Francis Baring then proposed
 "Success to the Patriots of Spain, our brave associates in liberty and arms."  "The health of our illustrious visitors and may their courage and loyalty be crowned with success: and when they return to their country, may they be rewarded by its affection and gratitude." 
Mr. Canning said that he rose in the name of these noble guests to express their thanks for the flattering reception given them on this occasion. They desired him to acquaint this respectable company, that without any hope of exterior aid, their countrymen would have endeavored to rescue themselves from the tyranny by which they were threatened, and they trust they should have succeeded. Now having witnessed not only the promises, but the performances of the British nation to support their cause, they entertain no reasonable doubt of a favorable issue. The honorable reward they propose for is a permanent alliance and friendship with this country, by which the security and happiness of Spain and Britain will be essentially promoted. As an indication of the high respect they bore to this meeting, they desired
that the health of his majesty should be again given.
This toast was then succeeded by the following,
"May the united efforts of Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal, rescue the continent from degradation and tyranny."
"May the Spanish, Portuguese, British and Swedish powers ever unite for the support of Religion, Liberty, Loyalty and Law."
Lord Camden then proposed the health of the chairman with three times three, which produced an appropriate speech from the worthy baronet, and the return of the same compliment to the company.
The noble visitors were now about to withdraw, when a pause was occasioned by Mr. Canning's health being given; on which the right honorable secretary said, that he had before addressed the gentlemen merely in the character of an interpreter; he had now the honor of speaking to them in his own person, and he had the satisfaction in that character to return them his most grateful acknowledgements.
From the London Morning Post, Aug. 10, TO THE EDITOR.
SIR,
If the dissatisfaction which followed the toast I gave at the public dinner last week, by many supposed to have been "The President of the United States," but actually "The President and United States of America," had been confined to the company present, I should have considered any blame that might have attached to me fully removed by the general approbation expressed afterwards at my conduct; but as it has excited much observation, I must request your indulgence to insert a few lines in justification of myself. I have always considered it to be the duty of a chairman to act with impartiality and propriety, and not to introduce any toasts at a public dinner in a clandestine manner. To prove that I had no such intention, the toasts were printed with a translation for the information of the visitors, and distributed at the table at which I sat, although I believe they were only partially circulated at the other tables. All the friendly governments, with their respective sovereigns, were given in regular succession: Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Sicily, concluding with America. My situation was a public one, and it was not permitted for me to indulge a private opinion or feeling—strict impartiality and correct propriety demanded that I should propose, and not omit America, with whom we are in amity and friendship, placing that country on an equal footing with the rest. An American minister is here; we have one in America; a state of peace must therefore be supposed to exist; and it would have been presumption for me, in the chair of so respectable an assembly, and in the presence of his majesty's ministers, to have decided whether the present state of the connexions between the two countries was more or less friendly. Under these circumstances I must confess that I feel neither doubt or difficulty in referring my conduct to the judgment of every dispassionate person. To accusations of party motives of selfish interested meanness, I can oppose with confidence a long life passed under the eyes of many who were present, and I flatter myself that its uniform tenor renders it not necessary for me to enter into any further defence.
I am, sir,
Your most humble servant. FRANCIS BARING.

BY THE LAST MAIL.
BOSTON, Oct. 4.
Latest from Europe.
The ship Mary, Fosdick, from London, arrived here yesterday, in 48 days passage. She brings London papers to August 10, containing a few articles of
IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE —the brief summary of which is, that Don Joseph Napoleon, had found it necessary to evacuate Madrid, which he did on the 27th July, after plundering the palaces and churches of their most valuable effects, the inhabitants, exasperated at the violence and sacrilege, pursued the rear of the army and regained a number of waggon, loaded with the plunder; that plans were forming in several quarters for intercepting his return, and that upwards of 135,000 Spaniards were on their march towards Madrid for that purpose; that the movement of gen. Cuesta, with his flying artillery was found out to be a plan, for intercepting Joseph Bonaparte's route to Madrid, which he missed effecting only by a few hours, and that the emperor Napoleon had arrived at Paris and convoked his senate, for the purpose of

forming a plan calling out every man ca- pable of bearing arms, from 16 to 46, to join the French armies in Spain.
Extracts from the papers. LONDON, Aug. 12. Dispatches received from Corunna, to August 5, announce that Joseph Bonaparte, and all the French, are preparing to evacu- ate Spain. The highly important intelli- gence was circulated yesterday in the form of a Bulletin, conceived in the following terms:
Intelligence was received this morning from the lieutenant col. Doyle, of the 4th of August, at mid- night. The lieutenant colonel states that he received a letter, dated Madrid, 27th of July, which says, that on that morning the French began their retreat from that city; that Joseph Bonaparte had quitted Madrid and taken away every thing of value belong- ing to the court. Every Frenchman was following him, and they were taking the di- rection of Burgos. The writer of the letter annexed to a member of the junta of the provinces. A letter from Tarragon, dated the 27th July, states that the army of Va- lencia and Murcia, which consisted of 60,000 men, had on that day passed through that city, on its way to Madrid. It is also sta- ted, that Echevarria, at the head of the smug- glers, had advanced towards Madrid; and that he was within 18 leagues of that city. Private advices from Arragon state, that the French had again been successful in that province. Marshal Bessiers has evacuated Barcelona, and continued his retreat to Burgos. A division of the Asturian army, under the command of General Ponte, has made an incursion on the road towards Bur- gos, and had taken a French convoy, with eight wagons laden with plunder. General Castanos was advancing in La Mancha."
The following is estimated to be the a- mount of the force advancing from the fol- lowing Spanish provinces towards Madrid:
Andalusian levies, 50,000 The Valencian, 45,000 The Murcian, 20,000 The Estremadura, 20,000 Total, 135,000
Independent of the Asturian and Galli- cian armies. It is said that on Joseph Bonaparte's de- parture, the unhappy city of Madrid was gi- ven up to the plunder of the French soldie- rs, and they executed their orders with much cruelty. Whilst the place was ransacking however by the troops, the peasants forced their way into the town, and occasioned the disorder- ly retreat of the French. The fugitives were pursued by the patriots, and we are happy to add, that eight of the waggons, heavily laden with plunder, were captured by the Asturians; and the best hopes are entertain- ed that most of the booty would be recover- ed. It is not impossible, that Don Joseph may find himself intercepted before he has an opportunity of quitting the scene of his ag- gression.
Our readers will recollect the sudden and unaccountable proceeding of Gen Cu- stos, after the battle of Rio Seco, when he disbanded his infantry, and set off at the head of his cavalry, no one knew whither. It is now said, that the object of this rapid move- ment was to intercept Joseph Bonaparte in his flight from Madrid; an event which the Spanish officer deemed too probable not to prepare for.
Letters are said to have been received, which state the arrival of Bonaparte at Paris and that he had determined upon calling out every person capable of bearing arms, from the age of 16 to 40, for the purpose of be- ing marched against Spain. It is added, that the Senate had expressed a reluctant sentiment upon the subject, in consequence of which he had ordered eight of the mem- bers to be thrown into prison.
August 13. There are several reports in circulation among others, it is said, that Joseph Bonaparte was shot as he was preparing to leave Madrid, on the 27th ultimo.
The intelligence transmitted to govern- ment by Col. Doyle, states, that the flying columns of Spain and the Indies, and the French troops, took the road to Burgos. General Custos, it is said, missed intercepting his majesty on his journey to Madrid only by two hours. We shall be glad to find him more fortunate in intercepting his return. As Bessiers, we observe, has made a ra- pid retreat from Benevento to Burgos, for the purpose, no doubt, of flanking and co- vering Joseph's passage back to the French frontier.
The intelligence from Corunna encoura- ges us to hope that, in a very short time, the war between France and Spain will be at an end of the Pyrenees.
Rumours were in circulation on the 12th and 13th August of the surrender of Junot, and the Russian fleet to the English; as al-
so a peace being concluded between Russia and Sweden. They however do not rest on any certain ground.
The emperor of France is passing through the maritime ports; for what purpose, is not conjectured; unless to enforce his new levy en masse.
The inhabitants of Teneriffe, have receiv- ed intelligence of the revolution in Spain, and declared for Ferdinand. The French Consul and inhabitants were imprisoned.
Louis 18th has had an interview with his majesty at Kew; and is now visiting the several public Institutions in the metropolis.
It is now believed that the French will either totally evacuate the Spanish territory, or collect their scattered forces at Burgos or Victoria, and there wait instructions from the Emperor.
The Spaniards are said to have been a- gain victorious in Arragon.
Don Joseph has not more than 12,000 troops with him.
The Spanish Noblemen, Don Joseh took with him to Madrid, have mostly de- serted his cause.
Mr. Baring has made a handsome apolo- gy for himself in toasting the President of the United States; but what becomes of his friend Mr. Jefferson? He remains un- friendled, unappointed—sent into disgrace with all his imperfections on his head.
A Grenada Diary of July 30 contains the following article.
VICH, July 17. We have just received the official and pleasing intelligence of the inhabitants of the district of Ampurdan having made an im- portant capture at Pons de Molins. Out of eighteen personages of the greatest distinc- tion, who were coming from France, ten have been killed with eighteen horses; and eight have been taken prisoners. Frederick, prince of Salm-Kilberg, who was born on the 15th December 1789, being among the latter, as well as his valet de chambre. The aid de camp of prince de Neufchatel was al- so with them. He had about him a plan of the intended conquest of Catalonia by the army of Barcelona and Figueras.
FURTHER.
By the arrival of the ship Sally, Hastings, 56 days from Malaga and 43 from Gibral- tar, we have papers of the latter place to August 13; they however contain no intel- ligence from Spain of later date, than is re- ceived by the Mary from London.
The following note was handed to capt. Hastings just before he set sail from Ma- laga:—
Mr. Kirkpatrick begs leave to inform capt. Hastings, that the post just arrived, brings official information, that the French army in Madrid had demanded to capitulate. The Governor of Madrid, by desire of Joseph Napoleon, sent dispatches to Gen. Castanos, to that effect thinking his victo- rious army was marching towards the capi- tal, immediately after the surrender of Du- pont. It is not known what Castanos an- swered; but it is most probable he will not have admitted of any terms, but left the French army to understand, or treat with Gen. Cuestas, who was near Madrid, with an army of 120,000 men. It is generally thought that before the 10th of this month, (August) Madrid will be in our possession and that few Frenchmen will escape.— The populace hold in recollection the 2d of May, and the quantities of innocent blood then shed there. Advices from Catalonia, mention, that Barcelona, and its fortresses had been taken by the Catalonians.
Capt. Hastings says, that the report of the capture of Barcelona and its fortresses, was questioned at Gibraltar.
PHILADELPHIA, October 5.
A letter from our Correspondent, dated at New Castle, Tuesday morning, October 4, says, "We have just arrived schooner Wanton, Charles Campbell, of and from Londonderry, with passengers; and the schooner Dove, Hall, of and from Boston. There are also below, a ship and brig names unknown."
The Government Dispatch ship Union, Capt. Girdon, sailed from New Castle on Sunday last, with a fair wind.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 7.
Mr. Manuel has just arrived at St. Louis, from the neighborhood of the Rocky Moun- tains, with a valuable cargo of furs—he in- forms that the Indians up the Missouri are peaceably inclined; that the Richarees are sorry for their behaviour to Lieutenant Pryor, when on his way to the Mandan nation— We learn that a company is forming at New- York, with a capital of 100,000 dollars, to erect a chain of factories up the Missouri and down the Columbia rivers to the Pacific Ocean, and export their furs to China, from the mouth of the latter river.
Alexandria Daily Gazette.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8.
The St. Michael's dispatch vessel from France is below. Mr. Nourse, a passenger in her, passed through town yesterday af- ternoon for Washington—he left the ship and came up by land.
Advices from the western parts of Vir- ginia state, that Mr. Monroe's ticket of electors will receive an almost unanimous vote in that country. It is believed with common exertion Mr. Madison may find himself disappointed in the Virginia vote.
VERMONT ELECTION.
A Montpelier paper of the 23d ult. gives the returns of votes for Governor from 190 towns, in which there were 13035 for Tich- nor, and 12082 for Smith—thus giving a majority for the federal candidate of 953 votes. The same paper remarks, that the remaining few towns to be heard from are small, and understood to be about equally divided in their votes for governor; that the federalists have also succeeded in their choice of Lieutenant Governor and Coun- cil; and that reports speak favorably of the election of three federal members to Con- gress, and a small majority of representa- tives.
The Burlington Centinel of September 23, also says, that "scarce a doubt remains of the complete success of Federalism in the election of all the state officers."
SO WE GO!
The following is from the "Enqui- rer," the leading Madisonian paper in Vir- ginia—it would appear from it that Gen- eral Porterfield is marked out as one of the victims to the humane policy of our would be Presidents satellites, for an honest expres- sion of his sentiments with respect to the ruinous measures of the present admini- stration. Ed.
"The reader will be astonished to see such resolutions and sentiments from Virgi- nia, as were proposed by the Meeting at Staunton. The consolation is, that we have comparatively so small a number of men, who would adopt such sentiments.—Gen. Porterfield's case is understood to be before the Executive Council.—He is one of those whom they advised to take command of the detachment of 100,000 troops, which is to be drawn from Virginia.—The first thing is to be substantiate the truth. And then the General may discover, that at least there is such a thing as rescinding an Advice of Council."
A gentleman of respectability who came passenger in the America states, that the British government had made a proposition in form to Bonaparte, to rescind their or- ders in council provided he would revoke his decrees; but that he peremptorily re- fused. The condemnation of American property continued to go on with increased vigour in France, and hopes were not enter- tained of the recovery of a single ship or cargo held in sequestration.
[U. S. Gazette.]
A letter from Bristol, of the 4th of Au- gust, states, that the ship Ophelia, Dunnet, which sailed from Bristol for New York a- bout the 10th of March, had been met at sea by a French ship of war and burnt.
Mr. Patterson, of Baltimore, brother- in-law to Jerome Bonaparte, arrived at Hal- ifax in the packet. He is reported to have said that the British have officially declared, that their orders of council as to Spain are not suspended as regards American ves- sels. [Boston Palladium.]
