RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloon, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string: Likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria. B. Dade. November 4.

THE OWL AND PARROT.
BY PETER PINDAR.
An Owl fell desp'rately in love, poor soul! Sighing and hooting in his lonely hole— A Parrot, the dear object of his wishes, Who in her cage enjoy'd the leaves & fishes, In short, had all she wanted—meat & drink, Washing and lodging—full enough, I think.
Squire Owl most musically tells his tale; His oaths, his squeezes, kisses, sighs, pre- vail; Poll cannot bear, poor heart, to hear him griere, So opens her cage, without a 'by your leave'; Are married, go to bed with raptur'd faces, Rich words, and so forth, usual in such ca- ses.
A day or two pass'd amorously sweet; Love, kissing, cooing, billing, all their meat; At length they both felt hungry—"What's for dinner? Pray what have we to eat, my dear," quoth Poll.
"Nothing! by all my wisdom," answer'd Owl! "I never thought of that, as I'm a sinner."
But Poll, on something I shall put my paws, What say'st thou, dear, to a dish of rats?"
"Rats! mister Owl, d'ye think that I'll eat Rats? Eat them yourself, or give them to the cats," Whines the poor bride now bursting into tears.
"Well, Polly, would you rather dine on mouse! I'll catch a few, if any in the house; Thou shalt not starve, love, so dispel thy fears."
"I won't eat rats, I won't eat rats," she won't, Don't tell me of such dirty vermin—don't; O that within my cage I had but tarried!" "Polly," quoth Owl, "I'm sorry I declare, So delicate, you relish not our fare— You should have thought of that before you MARRIED."
FROM THE AMERICAN ADVERTISER.
"Caelum quid quaremus ultra."
Happiness and pleasure, are by some con- sidered so nearly allied, as to induce the question whether they are not one and the same—but I think on examination we shall find them widely different. By pleasure, I mean that peculiar felicity of the feelings, which attends the enjoyment of something desirable—but as this desirable something may be only momentary, or eminently hazardous, a precarious enjoyment of it may afford pleasure, but be very far from producing happiness.
Happiness and pleasure, though distinct in themselves, are nevertheless used to ex- press the same thing.
I admit that to be happy is to have plea- sure; but I do not admit that to have plea- sure is to possess happiness—the one may include the other; but it does not follow, that both are co-existent, any more than that the possession of a house should also include the furniture.
The distinction between happiness and pleasure, has however become lost in these degenerate times—when every pursuit is directed to, and ends in the latter, without reference to the former.
The man of fashion pursues happiness in every circle, but he cannot attain it. It eludes his vigilance—it escapes his grasp— he is however contented to embrace the shadow for the substance, and fancies him- self happy! I have seen one of this de- scription make that distinction in his lan- guage which existed not in his ideas—thus "he would be happy to have the pleasure of your company," instead of "he would be pleased, &c." But as these aim at elegance and variety, and (like some of my acquaint- ance) are anxious to display their talents in pomposity, we must excuse them for con- founding synonymous, what are distinct and independent, or at least allow them to use terms without meaning anything, for the pleasure they derive in pronouncing them.
The Miser fancies he is happy when he has raked together an immense heap of trea-
sure; but I must pronounce him, above all others, farthest from the truth; because he possesses nothing but his riches, and is a beggar in happiness as well as in pleasure.
The studious man fancies himself happy —but alas! he reckons not his anxiety for his future prospects—nor his concern at the figure he is destined to make in life, or he would perceive that from his studies he de- rives nothing but pleasure.
The author deems himself the happiest of men, when his writings are well received —but, is it not the pleasure he feels from tickled vanity that renders his feelings to- lerable? Alas! some malignant critique, may take an advantage of an age, when the author is no more, to rail at his produc- tions, and hiss them to the tomb of the Ca- pulets.
The statesman, would fain persuade him- self that he is happy, on ascending an office of high trust and honor. But there is a melancholy reflection that attends his self- gratulation, lest he may descend with a ra- pidity equal to his predecessor, and be as soon forgotten.
The Philosopher, who, if any, might lay the greatest claim to happiness, is yet very far from possessing it. Is there nothing too intricate for solution—nothing too mysteri- ous for apprehension—Yes! A thousand problems to be solved, and much time and labor to be lost.
Who then is happy?
I answer—He is the happy man, whose mind, unengrossed by worldly considerations, is highly susceptible of religious impres- sions.
To meditate on the grandeur of nature, and to appreciate the science which unfolds her to his view, only as a mean of improvement in better things, ought to be the design of every rational creature in developing the ab- struse ways of Providence, or in viewing the common revolutions of nature. But in rela- tion to our moral obligations, which undoubt- edly must be regulated by the conceptions we entertain of God—how incumbent is it, that every iota of duty should be performed, to induce that freedom and clearness of con- science, which stamps its possessor as the happiest of men. He therefore who is stu- dious in the performance of his social and religious duties to his Creator, and to his fellow-creatures, whether as the affluent pos- sessor of palaces, or the humble tenant of the solitary cot, is no stranger to happiness.
It is not the enjoyment of the world, its honesty and sincerity of heart, that stamps the happy man! Here then lies the distinction, and with it vanish the hopes of the worldly minded, who may indeed fancy themselves possessed of permanent happiness, but will in the end find it to be fallacious pleasure.
B.
From the New York American Citizen. [A Republican Paper.]
"That the commerce of the U. States is at this moment in an unsettled and distres- sed situation, is a fact none will doubt. The cause too may be found without great diffi- culty in seeking it—but how remove it, is a question not so easily answered. The unsettled state of Europe renders it extreme- ly difficult to establish commerce on any so- lid basis—but the jealousy which Great Britain entertains of us, is perhaps the greatest obstacle we have to contend with. On her manufactures and commerce she depends for her existence, and she sees with pain that we are rivals, not immediately in her manufactures, but in her carrying trade, of which she is more tenacious, because she knows that there she is most vulnerable."
[Aurora.]
With becoming deference to the sage colonel, I give it as my opinion, that it would be difficult for any other man to write more and greater nonsense in so small a compass. That our commerce is "unset- tled and distressed" is certain; but to whom is its unsettled and distressed state attribut- able? Mediatly to a party; immediately to Mr. Jefferson. The party is not impartial in its feelings; not just in its language; not neutral in its conduct. Imitating the examples of a party in Holland, in Switzer- land, in Spain, and in every other nation which the tyrant has conquered, and by which we are already half subdued, it has strong attachments, it knows not why, to France, and deep-rooted aversion, which it cannot explain, from England. Of these prejudices, artfully encouraged by ruthless party demagogues to gain elections, the il- luminous sage, who was always a French- man, dexterously availed himself, and used them in aid of that commercial warfare which the tyrant had waged against the on- ly nation in Europe which is able to main- tain her independence, and which is the on- ly barrier between us and national ruin.— Powerful as the tyrant is, he would have hesitated before he passed his Berlin Decree (the cause of the "unsettled and distressed")
state of our commerce) had he not been previously assured of the disposition of Mr. Jefferson to throw no impediment in his way; and this disposition, though it al- ways existed, would not have been mani- fested by him, but for the evident inclina- tion of the party that way, for I venture the remark that in our party there is scarcely a man in power, or who wants to acquire power that does not make unmanly and shocking sacrifices of opinion to vulgar and ruinous prejudices to retain, where it is possessed, or to acquire where it is not, of- ficial income and distinction. In my mind, therefore, the fault is in the body of the party; though they have the excuse (good indeed with them) that they are prejudicial- ly operated upon by interested party chiefs, who with everlasting professions of love of country in their mouths, have no love for any thing but themselves.
The event proved that in Bonaparte's cal- culations on the conduct of Mr. Jefferson there was no mistake. No opposition was made to his decree. So far from it that, as if to force upon us the present "unsettled and distressed" state of commerce, the treaty which Monroe and Pinkney had concluded in London, was, insolently as regarded us, and with indignity in respect of Great Britain, sent back by Jefferson without ever submitting it to the senate. I think on this subject with Mr. Monroe and Mr. Ran- dolph, two of the most upright men the na- tion can boast of, that to the rejection of the treaty, which was a necessary consequence of Mr. Jefferson's acquiescence in Bonap- arte's views, we owe the calamities which we suffer, and from which we know not how to extricate ourselves.
The pretext (for it was merely a pretext) for the prompt and contumelious rejection was, that it contained a note calling upon us to resist the Berlin decree, or to permit England, as she had a right to retaliate it without complaint from us. What could be more reasonable? What could be more proper? She waited a year. Was not this patience enough? We did nothing! Was she therefore to do nothing? She then re- taliated the Berlin decree. We then re- sisted. Whom? France? No; we re- sisted England—Our embargo was precisely what Bonaparte wanted. It was waging commercial war against England. Here we are and here, I think, we shall remain until our government consents to resist the oppressive decrees of France. When we do this, the orders in council will be removed. I tell you truths, reader, in plain blunt language. I may be misrepresented, but I defy refutation.
But, says the Aurora, with its character- istical stupidity, our present situation is at- tributable to the jealousy of England. Ve- ry well; let us argue the point. Jealous of what? That we shall be her rival manufac- turer? No, for fool and knave as the colo- nel is, he waves this point; he admits that there is no jealousy on this subject, and I am sure that there cannot be. Of what then is she jealous? Why, he says, of our carrying trade! A more artful and able ad- vocate would have suppressed the remark. The very measures we have pursued have deprived us of the carrying trade and put England in possession of it. What have we done? What is our present situation? Lo! how able our conduct is! By way of distressing England, we have stopped com- merce by sea, but we admit it in the utmost latitude by land! Our ships are laid up; our sailors unemployed, and yet England gets all she wants from the opulent states of Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvan- ia, Ohio, and Kentucky; and Vermont is so proud of our present glorious state, (she is making money) locked up by sea, open by land, that she has lately given her candidate for governor, who is in favor of all this wisdom and spirit, a majority of more than a thousand votes! We allow all our produce to be exported by land. Now I ask the consequence? It goes to his ma- jesty's dominions north of us: it goes to Halifax, and the British carrying trade, which was in fact annihilated, is revived in brisk motion! All this we have done ourselves. We have made England our carriers. And yet the Aurora says that England is jealous of our carrying trade! Is it not more true that our own govern- ment is jealous of it? Had it ratified Mr. Monroe's treaty, proposed to us by that jealous nation, the carrying trade of Eng- land had been nothing; we should have been the carriers for nearly the whole world. But we rejected it, and we have no trade. We have aided Bonaparte, as powerfully as we could aid him, and forced England to be our carrier!

CHARLESTON, November 4. Highly interesting Letter.
A mercantile friend has politely favored us with the following very interesting letter, which we have translated for the Com- er.
"Havana, Oct. 21st, 1809."
"It would be difficult to conceive the ag- itated state of my mind. I have long been responding for the fate of our unhappy mother country; for since the battle of Wagram, I have looked upon it as devoted to destruction, and as destined for another victim to the usurper. I have little doubt that before this, Spain has been overrun by his myrmidons, and my thoughts, therefore, naturally turn towards the colonies, and to this island particularly, where first I drew my breath. I have for some time past, ob- served, that the seeds of discord have been sown, and are now springing up; that the minds of the people are agitated by different sentiments and factions."
"Some are inclined to assert our Inde- pendence under the protection of the British; others, principally the natives of Old Spain, are for adhering to the Mother Country, un- der any dynasty that may govern her.— Others are desirous of a British legislation, and some few are perfectly French in their principles and wishes. In this conflict of opinion, what but anarchy and revolutions can await us, unless a timely interference of the British should prevent it."
"A letter was received here yesterday from Cadiz, dated August 23d, which says, "an express has this moment arrived from the Marquis of Wellesley, the Bri- tish ambassador in Seville, to the British consul here, ordering him to put on board a vessel, and immediately despatched for England, his despatches, containing the ac- count of the erection of a regency, instead of the Central Supreme Junta, and which is composed as follows: The archbishop of Toledo, nephew to Charles the IVth, Re- gent; Altamira and Jovellanos, Conjuradors; and Cevallos, Savvedra, and Gen. Cuesta, Privy Counsellors." Should this prove to be true, of which I have no doubt, you may depend upon it, that it has been brought about by the Marquis Wellesley. The Mar- quis foreseeing the loss of Spain, has formed the regency in time, with the view of its be- ing taken out to Mexico by the British fleet, for the safety and protection of our colonies, who will, with open arms, receive and ad- mit the government of a Bourbon, and per- haps no other, protected by and allied with England; in which case we shall, once more become a safe and happy people. In the course of six weeks I expect to see entering our harbor, a combined Spanish and Bri- tish fleet, carrying the royal standard of Ferdinand VIIth. God send that my expec- tations may be realised."
"You are already informed of the shut- ting of the ports of this island against all for- eign flags; to day we understand that neutrals bringing negroes, sugar, utensils, and lumber, will be admitted, but with- out other articles. God preserve you, &c."

Nov. 11.

On the note from the National Intelligence published in our Gazette of yesterday, we have very little to say at present. We think it would be prudent for the people to suspend their judgment of the negotiation in question until the official correspondence which is referred to in the Intelligence is laid before Congress, which it will undoubtedly be at the approaching session. If the whole correspondence & every circumstance respecting the late unfortunate arrangements are published, the people will be able to form an opinion of the disposition of the parties to come to an accommodation; and contempt and detestation will fall on those who deserve it. If, however, to the further disgrace of our nation, the documents to be communicated to congress should be marked "private," and should be considered in that house with closed doors, we have a tale to tell which may not be very pleasing to some delicate ears. It is a story that will not tell well in history. But more of this hereafter.
"Implication or Insinuation."—Some people who are very fond of finding meaning to words where none was intended, may think that a threat is implicated in the above paragraph, and that we insinuate that some thing is wrong in a certain cabinet not a thousand miles from our press. We therefore declare, once for all, that we threaten none but the guilty. Every one will allow that there is a fault somewhere: Be it our task to fix it on the right persons.
We are informed that Mr. Jackson has demanded and obtained his passports from our government, and that he will leave this country soon with his family and suite.—Some people suppose that Mr. Oakley will continue here as charge de affairs, but it is our opinion that no one will be left in that character; and perhaps no other minister will be sent from the British government to this country, in the present situation of our affairs.
War with England!—This is now the cry. But we are still of the opinion that it will not take place. Our government will not declare war, and Great Britain will not make it. We shall remain in a state between war and peace—a state of degradation and apathy, much worse than the most destructive war.
A wag reading in one of the papers that a stenographer was engaged to take the speeches of the ensuing session of Congress, said he pitied the poor fellow, if he had undertaken to record all the words that should be spoken; but if he was only to report the substance it would be an easy task. A day's work need not occupy many lines; it would only be "11 o'clock, house called to order—petitions disposed of—words—words—words—until 3 o'clock—house adjourned—having done nothing."
There has been much complaint in different parts of the union, for some years past, of a want of papers at the seat of government, to record the proceedings of the national legislature. We think for the approaching session at least, there will be no reason for such complaint. There is a prospect of papers in abundance; and from what we can learn there will be a sufficient variety to please every palate. It is impossible for us at this moment to give a bill of fare of this literary feast, as we do not yet know the characters of all the different articles. But like many of the modest people of this modest age, we will venture to advertise our own dish. It will be made up of the good old materials recommended by the great father of our country. It will be strictly federal. No mixture of quidism or any otherism but pure Americanism. If any of the disciples of the old school who wish to hear from the seat of government would favor us with their names to our subscription list during the session, we shall be heartily thankful, and we flatter ourselves that we shall be able to treat them with fare that shall be satisfactory to them, as they can get from our neighbors.
At an election held on Monday last, for Directors of the Bank of Potomac, the following gentlemen were chosen.

And at a meeting of the Directors held Yesterday, Thomas Vowell was re-chosen President, and George Taylor a Director to fill the vacancy.

If any of the goods imported by virtue 28, G. 3d. chap. 6. sec. 11, have been imported from any colony on the continent of South America, or any island in the West-Indies, under the dominion of any foreign European sovereign or state, into any of the islands in the West-Indies, under the dominion of his majesty, shall, after such importation be exported or shipped or bro't to any quay or other place, with intention of being shipped for importation, and the said articles or vessels, or boat shall be forfeited, before any article which may be legally imported from the islands in the West Indies, under the dominion of his Majesty, and which are of the description before enumerated; shall be shipped for exportation from any of the said islands, the exporter shall make oath before the collector of the customs, that they have not been imported from any colony of the continent of South America, or any foreign island in the West-Indies.
In some of the islands, they command that his majesty's order in council of the 11th April, C. 48, sec. 3, is still in force; but it has been rendered null and void, by the subsequent order of the 12th April, 1809.
COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, Oct. 4. "We have already written you by this conveyance; but we use the few minutes allowed us before the Ceres sails, to give you the contents of a letter just received from our agent in London.
He says "I am sorry to have to acquaint you that the lords of the council have rejected the petition for a license to protect a cargo in an American ship from Amelia Island, and in such terms as to discourage all expectation that a renewed petition would be attended with better success."
Looking to the possibility of the continuance of your non-intercourse law, we have stated a case, experimentally only, for the government of ourselves and friends, and we hasten to give you the information. "Vessels to import from Amelia Island must be either under the British or Spanish flag."
WEST-INDIA TRADE.
Letters from St. Barts. by the Minerva of the 14th ult. mention that they have received a British proclamation, opening the ports of the British islands to neutrals, and encouraging the importation, through neu-
trals, of provisions, &c. in consequence of which, flour and other articles are rising at St. Bart. where a number of British vessels had arrived.
BOSTON, November 9.
Latest from Holland.—Yesterday arrived here, the ship Governor Strong, capt. Lord 30 days from Rotterdam. Captain L. left there 7th October, but brought no papers. The verbal intelligence communicated by capt. Lord, and which is corroborated by the letter of which he is the bearer, state, that Bonaparte still remained at Vienna—that the armistice had been prolonged to the fifteenth of November—that Russia was at a stand, apparently undetermined what course to pursue, and that no prospect of a peace was entertained. That the American shipping had sailed from the ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam, principally for Russia; that there had been no recent change in the maritime regulations of the Dutch government, nor any relaxation of Bonaparte's commercial decree. Captain L. adds, that he did not hear of Bonaparte's being insane, or indisposed.
Captain L. in his passage thro' the British Channel did not meet with a single British cruiser. The U. S. schooner Experiment was to have sailed from the Texel on the 4th of October.
Walcheren remained in possession of the English, when captain L. left Rotterdam.

TO THE PUBLIC, Who are affected with Coughs, Colds, Astmas, and Consumption.
THERE is perhaps no medical observation better established, none more generally confirmed by the experience of the best physicians of all ages and countries, and none of more importance to the practitioner than the fact that many of the most difficult and incurable complaints originate in neglected COLDS. In a climate as variable as ours, where the changes of the weather are frequently sudden and unexpected, it requires more care and attention to guard against this subtle and dangerous enemy of life, than most people imagine, or are willing to bestow. Hence the vast number of patients afflicted with coughs, catarrhs, asthmas and consumptions. The many cases of the kind which fell under my observation, the disappointment I experienced in practice, from remedies highly recommended, and my own predisposition to pulmonary complaints, were strong inducements for me to consider whether a compound, consisting of mild vegetable substances could not be invented, more free from the well founded objections of practitioners, and better calculated to avert the threatening destruction of the lungs.
I have the satisfaction to offer to the public such a remedy, under the name of the VEGETABLE PULMONIC DETERGENT, well adapted to various constitutions, and habits, and to declare with the fullest confidence that I found this composition far superior to others intended to answer the same purpose. I am perfectly satisfied, that practitioners, who have frequently to combat the effects of suppressed perspiration and do not neglect the use of the lancet and other evacuations, whenever they are indicated, will place this medicine on the list of their most favorite remedies; as it can in no case do harm. I will abide by this motto:
NO RELIEF NO PAY.
This motto may be deemed ostentatious by some, and amounting to a positiveness that the medicine will invariably effect a cure in any stage of a disease like a miracle; the proprietor is far from believing that this medicine will render mankind immortal; but he is fully sensible if taken seasonably, and according to the directions, it will either prevent or cure, and if unseasonably, it will most sensibly alleviate distress and prolong life; and having no desire to profit by the confidence of the sick and afflicted, induces me to make the above overture. Should the contrary appear in any instance, as in some it possibly may, the money for the medicine will be cheerfully refunded by the person who may vend the same.
GEORGE ROGERS.
N. B. The above named medicine is secured to the subscriber by letters-patent from the President of the United States, and prepared at his Dispensary in Northampton county of Hampshire and state of Massachusetts.
To the Public.
The great benefit which I have experienced from Rogers's Vegetable, &c. and a firm persuasion that it may afford relief to others, induces me to make every laudable exertion for its distribution.
For five years preceding the last of Dec. 1807, in consequence of taking a violent cold I had been afflicted with the asthma, a disorder which I conceived to be hereditary, my father and grand father both having greatly suffered from it. The disorder increasing rapidly upon me, in the spring of 1807, I consulted Dr. C. L. Seeger, but the urgency of his business prevented him from attending at that time, particularly to my case. My business made it necessary for me to leave home and be absent the greater part of summer, which deprived me of the able professional assistance of Dr. Seeger. In September last, a severe cold brought on a violent cough and the disorder assumed an aspect more serious and alarming than at any former period—I was extremely debilitated, emaciated and confined. Such was the irritability of my lungs, I was obliged to use the greatest caution in the act of respiration. After a free use of Rogers's Vegetable, &c. for about two months, I was perfectly relieved of the dreadful cough which had so long afflicted me, and completely cured of every symptom of the asthma—In short, blessed be God, I have continued in sound health ever since. As these facts may be important to those unfortunate individuals who are suffering from the same disorder, I have been thus particular in their detail. And I do not hesitate to declare my solemn conviction, both from my own experience and observing its effects on others, that Dr. Rogers's V. P. D. is an easy, safe and effectual remedy for coughs and asthmas, and is the greatest antidote to all pulmonary complaints that the world has ever witnessed.
Jacob W. Brewster.
Northampton, January, 1809.
THIS may certify, that about the first of October last, I was attacked with a violent cough, which proceeded, as was the opinion of my physician, who is a man well approved of in his profession, from a bruise which I received on my left side about a fortnight
before. By his consent I tried Rogers's Pulmonic Detergent—I was very weak and low, and took but half the quantity prescribed by his directions. In three days I was much relieved, and in eight days quite cured of the cough.
Moses Parsons, jun.
Northampton, February, 1809.
Northampton, (Mass.) Feb. 1809.
I James Heaton, also hereby certify, that in the fall of the year 1808, I was seized with a severe cold attended by an obstinate and distressing cough. The violence of my cough soon produced a pain in my side and breast, and frequently spitting of blood, in short, all the horrid symptoms of a consumption were rapidly assailing me. In this situation I was recommended to Dr. George Rogers, who rendered me immediate relief by administering his Vegetable Deturgent. I have continued the use of it ever since, and for three months past, though not completely restored to health, I have been able constantly to attend to my business—and I fully believe that my partial restoration has been solely owing (under God) to this valuable medicine.
James Heaton.
To the Public.
In consequence of taking a severe cold in May, 1808, I was seized with a violent pain in my side, attended with a distressing cough, which, although I had the advice and prescriptions of a respectable physician, lasted me four weeks, without any alleviation. I then applied to Dr. George Rogers, who administered his Vegetable Pulmonic Deturgent, which gave me immediate relief; and in ten days I was entirely freed from the pain in my side and cough.
Charles Chapman.
Northampton, March, 1809.
I, ELIJAH NORTON, jun. of Westampton, in Massachusetts, do certify, that in the last year I was attended with a great debility, weakness of the lungs, distressed for breath, and a violent cough attended with a fever for a number of months; about the 15th of August I began the use of Dr. George Rogers's Vegetable Pulmonic Deturgent. I kept in the use of it about three months. Immediately after taking this medicine my cough abated, and I could breathe with more freedom. I would recommend the medicine from my own experience, to those who are troubled with a cough, and disorders of the lungs and breast, and consumption complaints, and do believe it to be a valuable and useful medicine.
