An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sundays, and will travel only in the day time. On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg. The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. 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.

THE DANES.
THE privileges derived by the Danes from their alliance with France, enable them to execute the Berlin decree upon our commerce. They have accordingly lately condemned the Meridian, Live Oak, Jemima and Fanny. The Danes have on the other hand, never received from us any thing but friendship. It is not in the power of ingenuity to figure an imaginary injury they have sustained from us. Yet this nation is instigated by Bonaparte to plunder our lawful commerce, and to condemn it at the very seat of their government. It is painful to reflect upon the state of the world, from which proceeds such undisguised submission, and such unexpected injury.
The most remarkable circumstance attending this abasement of Denmark, is the contrast it affords to those famous principles of armed neutrality, so strenuously urged and defended by that kingdom, and that the contrariety should be dictated by the very potentate, who has proclaimed so loudly the Liberty of the Seas. Professor Schlager may now burn his book, and write another, which he can probably do with equal facility, to prove that the plunder of an inoffensive friend may be warranted by a foreign tyrant, who holds his scimitar at your throat. This respectable scholar could doubtless sift from the German folios upon law and ethics, convincing proofs, that as in the forum of Conscience, a man may be justified for the destruction of another, in order to save his own life, so may a nation, in like manner, be excusable for committing piracy under the Berlin decree, provided, by its so doing, Bonaparte will not steal the whole royal family, and set up one of his minions in their place. Good—Let us then take for granted, that all this wrong, of which Denmark is the instrument, is necessary to her own safety, and that the nature of the coercion changes the character of the injury. Is it not probable, that had not England withdrawn the fleet from Copenhagen, the same feeble power would have been coerced by Bonaparte to make use of them, instead of privateers, to enforce the Berlin and other piratical decrees? What have we not therefore gained by that dangerous weapon being seasonably wrested from the hands of a slave, whose capricious master might the next moment have ordered it to be inflicted upon us?
I do not wish to speak disrespectfully either of the Danish government or people. I have other sentiments for them. I am willing to allow them every extenuation. Their misfortunes ought to be deplored; for no spectacle is more humiliating to human pride, than to see a brave prince, who nobly defended his country against the English, compelled to sanction in his courts of justice, acts of unequivocal plunder from a friend, who never provoked him or his people.
After pity has exercised itself till the injury is completely forgotten, let the fate of Denmark stand as another recorded proof, that Bonaparte's friendship is synonymous with national ruin and infamy.
To the Editor of the Charleston Courier.
SIR, Conceiving that the accompanying extract from the log book of the St. Florenzo, relative to the engagement with, and the capture of the Piedmontaise frigate in the East Indies, might prove interesting to the public, I have the pleasure to offer it for insertion in your paper. It was taken at sea, between Colombo and Point de Galle, by a passenger in the Charlton Indiaman, who went on board of the two ships, and from whose extract I took the present copy.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
J. PASELSO, a passenger in the Charlton, August 21, 1808.
His majesty's ship Florenzo, 6th March, 1808.
At 7, A. M. saw three Indiamen standing towards the S. E.—At 10, do. saw a strange sail on the starboard beam. At 11, set chase N. E. and N. E. 1-2 N. 3 miles distant, all sails set—11, P. M. received a broadside from the chase, and commenced action, 55 minutes after 11 do. the chase made all sail away, and her firing
silenced; left off the action, and made all sail in chase of the enemy—40 minutes after 5, A. M. the enemy hoisted French colors—26 minutes after 6 do. the enemy being about half a mile distant commenced action by firing a broadside. At 5 minutes after 8, A. M. the enemy discharged the whole of his broadside and made all sail; kept firing at him until out of gun-shot, found the lower mast wounded, foretop and yard cut in two and rigging so much destroyed could not make sail in chase; all hands employed in repairing the damage—2, P. M. the enemy making all sail to the eastward—At 9, P. M. lost sight of the enemy—At 12, P. M. the enemy in sight bearing east—At daylight on the 8th, saw the enemy 4 leagues distant—made all sail in chase—10 minutes after 12 the enemy hoisted a Dutch Jack—15 minutes after 2, P. M. the enemy hoisted English colors—10 minutes after 4 P. M. brought the enemy to close action—40 minutes after 5 P. M. the enemy struck her colors. Proves to be the French frigate La Piedmontaise, mounting fifty guns, commander Mons. Epron.
Killed, capt. Harding, of the St. Florenzo, the last time the ship came into action, and 12 seamen.
Wounded, 2d lieut. of the St. Florenzo, and 25 seamen.
Killed and wounded on board the Piedmontaise, 167, and the 2d capt. Charles Moreau.
N. B. This man (Charles Moreau) whilst lying dangerously wounded, continued in the most vehement manner, and with the greatest imprecations, to encourage the men to fight; but when he observed that the colors were struck, he insisted on being thrown overboard in that state, which was accordingly done.
BY THE LAST MAIL.
NEW-YORK, October 14.
Iatest from London.
Last evening arrived at this port the British Packet, Lord Chesterfield, Gibson, in the remarkable short passage of 31 days from Falmouth, via Halifax, in 7 days from the latter port. Passengers, Mr. Bethune, merchant of this city; captain Burke, of do. Mr. Chepmell, of Petersburg, Va. Mr. Bailey, Mr. Hiatt and lady, Mr. Halliday, Mr. Jolly, and captain Andrew Pinckney of Nanuet: the latter gentleman took his passage from Halifax in a schooner for Boston.
Mr. Bethune left London on the 7th of September, and is the bearer of dispatches from Mr. Pinckney, our minister at the court of St. James, to the secretary of state.
We learn verbally by the Packet, that our affairs with Great Britain, were likely to be amicably settled, and in a short time—and that a French Senatus Consultum had petitioned the emperor Bonaparte to withdraw his troops from Spain and leave the kingdom to the patriots.
The editor of the Mercantile Advertiser, has received by the packet, London papers to the 10th of September (14 days later than any previous advices) from which the following articles are selected. They compose a very small part of the great mass of intelligence which these papers contain, and which we shall continue to detail from day to day until every interesting circumstance has been given to our readers.
LONDON, September 1.
A mail from Gottenburgh arrived this morning. The only article it has brought is the following; but, the report of an action between the British and Russian fleets is, we understand unfounded.
Gottenburgh, Aug. 19.
General Armfeldt did not resist the command of the western army to general Cederstrom, as was first reported.
Private letters of to-day's post from Stockholm report, that the Russian fleet, which appeared off Oldensholm on the 6th of August, was met on the 12th by an English fleet and totally put to the route. This appears rather incredible, as we cannot conceive that a sufficient number of English ships for the purpose could have been so high up in the Baltic at that time.
The Brest fleet is said to have put to sea again. The posterity to a letter from an officer of the Minerva frigate, says briefly—"The French fleet are again out." So great is the distress of the islands of Guadalupe and Martinique for provisions, that every effort will be made to relieve them. This of course, will produce on our part the most active measures to prevent them. If it be true that the Toulon squadron put to sea with troops on board, it may be that the West Indies, and not the Atlantic islands was their destination. But it is probable that Martinique and Guadalupe will fall
before any succors can reach them from Europe.
The expedition against Bilboa is said, not to have been undertaken with the view of keeping possession, but of plundering it.—After the houses and inhabitants had been pillaged of their most valuable property the French banditti are reported to have evacuated the town and retired to Vittoria.
Our commerce with Spain is already become very considerable. One house in London has received an order from that country for coarse wools, sufficient to clothe 20,000 troops. Trade is looking up in the West Riding; and the intercourse between this country and Spain is already of great advantage.
Very considerable supplies of arms & ammunition have been sent from the ports in the northwest of Spain, to the Biscayans.
September 2.
COMPLETE DEFEAT OF GENERAL JUNOT AND PROPOSALS FOR THE SURRENDER OF HIS ARMY.
The glorious intelligence we have to announce will delight every heart, though we are persuaded that every one of our readers was prepared to expect it. The British arms have been eminently victorious over the French in Portugal in two battles and long before this time, to use the words of general Castanos after the surrender of Dupont, we have no doubt, "that not a Frenchman remains in arms throughout the Kingdom of Portugal."
The Park and Tower guns were fired this morning at eight o'clock, in honor of these great victories.
The glorious intelligence was brought about eight o'clock last night to lord Castlereagh's office by captain Campbell. It was soon after communicated by his lordship to the lord mayor.
COPY.
"Downing-street, Sept. 1, 1808."
"MY LORD,
"I HAVE the honor to acquaint your lordship, that captain Campbell arrived this evening with dispatches from lieutenant general sir Arthur Wellesley, dated Vimiera, the 22d ultimo, giving an account of two victories obtained over the French armies in Portugal—the first on the 17th at Zambujeira, over the advanced corps of the French, consisting of 6000 men, commanded by generals Laborde and Breniece, in which the French were defeated with the loss of 1,500 men killed, wounded and prisoners; the second over the whole of the French army in Portugal consisting of 14,000 men, commanded by general Junot, wherein the French were completely defeated, with the loss of 15 pieces of cannon, 23 tumbrils of ammunition, and about 3,600 men, in killed, wounded, and prisoners."
"In consequence of this action, general Kellerman, arrived with a flag of truce at headquarters on 22d, to treat for terms."
"Lieutenant general Burrard landed, and arrived in the field of action after the battle had commenced on the 21st ultimo; but he generously declined taking the command from sir Arthur Wellesley. On the 22d, lieutenant general sir Hugh Dalrymple landed and took the command."
I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed)
CASTLEREAGH.
"To the right hon. the Lord Mayor, &c."
Private letters are said to have been received in town this morning, stating that the ports of Holland are open for the exportation of all goods except leather, bark, and salt.
September 5.
A transport which left Massira on the 26th is arrived at Penzance; she brings accounts that Sir John Moore's army was there with the Audacious 74 guns; that our army nor the French had made any change of position subsequent to the 23d; that an armistice had been agreed on; and that a general officer had been detached to Sir C. Cotton with particulars.
Accounts have been received which state that in consequence of some movements which had been observed among the French troops, our commander in the Baltic had found it necessary to remove all the Spanish troops from Langland, which had been effectually done, and they were conveyed to Gottenburgh (9000 men and 200 women) where the transports for bringing them to England are arrived by this time.
Orders had been received at Deal for the immediate embarkation of the Brigade of guards there. This brigade at Chatham is also to embark—other regiments will join them, and this fresh embarkation will consist of about 10,000 men.
The embarkation at Cork, has been suspended.
A private letter we have received from Sicily, dated the 13th July, mentions an insurrection to have broken out at Rome.—We shall not be surprised to find insurrec-
tions break out in every part of Italy. Twenty thousand men might be advantageously employed in that quarter at present.
The opening of the ports of Holland is a most important fact. It is conjectured that this has been done by Bonaparte for the purpose of supplying the colonies of Guadalupe and Martinique with provisions and other necessaries, of which they are in the greatest need. Others conjecture that he fears disturbances will break out in Holland, and thinks by opening the ports he shall conciliate the Dutch and keep them quiet. At any rate the measure furnishes a further proof of the wisdom of the policy that dictated our Orders in Council.
Yesterday morning the Thunderer, of 74 guns, captain Tallot, was released from quarantine at Portsmouth. She sailed for Palermo on the 27th July. On her passage to Gibraltar she spoke a Spanish boat, which told her that four of her ships of the line were at anchor to the eastward of Barcelona, and that they had destroyed a convoy going with troops from Toulon to Barcelona. Dupont arrived at Cadiz on the 12th ult. On his arrival the mob insisted on searching his baggage, in which they found vast quantities of church plate.—He was badly wounded by the mob. The Thunderer took from Palermo to Gibraltar, Prince Leopold, second son of the king of Naples. He is sent by his father to claim the regency of Spain as next heir to the crown of Spain.
We mentioned a rumor on Saturday, circulated on the authority of a letter from Oporto, that there had been another action after the glorious victory of Vimiera, in which the French general Loison, with 10,000 men, had been killed. Junot and Laborde prisoners, on their way to Coimbra and Oporto, as the British gen. would not concede to them any honors; that waggons loaded with plunder had been taken; that the Russians, as soon as the French left the capital, hoisted Portuguese colors, and that there had been a naval engagement, in which the English destroyed a French squadron, which was conveying to Portugal prince Eugene (our king's) with several thousand men to reinforce Junot.
No such intelligence has been received by government, and no credit is to be attached to the rumor.
Some letters from Holland, received on Saturday, mention that many members of the Confederation of the Rhine had manifested reluctance to assemble their quota conformably with the spirit and stipulations of the celebrated league. In Wirttemberg, it is said, the inhabitants rose en masse to resist a conscription which the king had recourse to for furnishing his contingents.
Letters from the British squadron off the Tagus mention, that a deputation from Lisbon had a conference with sir C. Cotton on the subject of a general rising on the part of the French, and that he dissuaded them from it until the British troops should have landed and approached the town.
A letter from Cadiz contains the following summary of the plunder taken by the Spanish armies from Dupont:
17,000 suits of military clothing; 37,000 muskets packed up; 120 pieces of cannon; 36 mortars, 186 coaches; 2,000 excellent horses; 200 ammunition carts; 6,000,000 of hard dollars and the military chest; all the plate stolen at Cordova, and the other places through which the French army marched, had been melted into bars.
September 6.
The intelligence brought by the transport which is arrived at Penzance from Massira, was not official intelligence brought to government. Ministers have not received any accounts from sir Arthur Wellesley, later than those contained in the Extraordinary Gazette. But the Portuguese ambassador is understood to have accounts, dated the evening of the 25th, and the transport left Massira on the 26th. The landing of sir John Moore at Massira, in the rear of the French army, would quicken the surrender of the enemy. The British army was on the 25th at Torres Vedras; the Portuguese at Maciera; and the French in the same position to which they had retreated after the battle of the 21st. General Kellerman continued in the British camp until the evening of the 24th, when he set out for the head quarters of general Junot, with the terms of capitulation, as signed by him, for the sanction of his chief; and in the mean time an armistice was agreed upon, the duration of which was to depend upon the decision of general Junot, in respect to the terms upon which it was proposed he should surrender his army.
The officer who had been sent from our army to sir Charles Cotton, is reported to have been the bearer of the terms of capitulation, sir Charles' sanction being necessary on account of the surrender of the Russian fleet in the Tagus being one of the articles of the capitulation.

The removal of the Spanish troops from Langeland was deemed prudent in consequence of Bernadotte being in Funen, with 6000 troops, with which it was supposed he would attempt to pass over to Langeland. Immediately after the arrival of the Spanish troops at Gottenburgh, eighteen victuallers arrived from England.
The two Spanish regiments in Zealand, have laid down their arms, and expressed their determination not to fight against the English.
A letter we have received from an officer of a ship in the Great Belt, gives us some reason to expect that an action will take place with the Russian fleet in the Baltic.
We are in expectation of receiving news of importance from Italy—a descent upon Naples is said to be in contemplation. In a letter we have received from Sicily, there is a passage which mentions the frequent exchanges of flags of truce between Naples & Sicily.
The following are the goods permitted to be exported from Holland: butter, cheese, venery, earthen-ware, rushes, flower roots, ales and pans, hoops, dried hides, cambric, leather, plants, paper, pipes, sachet, ground bark, bricks, starch, tobacco, furs, flax, fruits, clover, garden and flower seeds, madder.
September 7. The Mosquito sloop arrived at Yarmouth yesterday, with the intelligence that the Russian fleet of 11 sail of the line being off Stockholm. Sir James Saumarez was on the 23d ult. at Carlscrona, and our squadron, which had on the 19th received information of the Russians being at sea, were making every effort to give them the meet.
A letter received from on board the Conqueror, off Lisbon, dated the 23d ult. says that our fleet were clearing for action, expecting every moment to see our troops on the hills above Lisbon.
That war between Austria and France is on the eve of breaking out there can be little doubt. Three French camps have been ordered to be formed in Bavaria and Saxony and been commanded to hold themselves in readiness. The French troops have been withdrawn from Silesia, and Bonaparte is certainly expected at Strasburgh. The preparations of Austria correspond with the importance of the occasion; and the archduke Charles is to have the command in chief with unlimited power. The archduke John and the other princes, are to have separate commands; and Austria seems resolved to bring into this contest all her resources; totò corpore regni . If Germany catch the spirit that has animated Spain, we may expect to see victory declare against France on the banks of the Danube, as well as on the banks of the Ebro or the Gaudalquivir; and the French may be doomed to find in Germany, not another Ulm and Austerlitz and Jena, but another Baylen, Valencia and Saragossa.
According to accounts lately received in Holland from France, Bonaparte is not disposed to abandon his design of establishing his brother upon the throne of Spain. The protection of the coast of France has been hitherto confined to a description of troops who were unfit for more active service. These we understand, have lately received orders to march for Spain. The more efficient part of this army he reserves for other purposes.
It is no longer a secret, that between four and five months ago, the ministers of the Sublime Porte having been made acquainted with the real designs of the emperors of France and Russia, as settled at their conference on the Niemen, did transmit a dispatch to Malta, addressed to the commander of his Britannic majesty's forces on that station, requesting that a British agent, with full powers, might be forthwith sent to Tenedos, to meet an agent from the Porte, for the purpose of peace between the two countries. Matters having reasons to expect such a proposal, they appointed Robt. Adair, esq. to be their envoy extraordinary on this important occasion. His appointment crossed him at sea on his way home—but on his arrival, it was immediately proposed to him by Mr. Canning, and Mr. Adair cheerfully accepted the appointment. It is well known that he sailed—a Turkish envoy has arrived in England, in consequence of the unfortunate delay that intervened, with a repetition of the offer.
Another of those revolutions which are so frequent in Turkish history, has taken place at Constantinople, and the Sultan Selim, who "waded through slaughter to the throne," has been deposed and murdered; his nephew has been elevated to the dangerous dignity, to possess it a less time than his predecessor, and to meet probably with the same fate. Forty thousand of the inhabitants of Constantinople are said to be in
The supreme Junta of Catalonia, to supply the present necessities, and provide for the army which has been raised and organised in that province, has ordered that the estates situate in it, lately appertaining to Don Manuel Godoy, shall be sold by public auction, or let out at a rent. Thus the immense property and riches acquired at the expense, and by the sacrifices of the Spanish nation, by the most foolish and ambitious of men, will ultimately be rendered useful to it.
September 2. In the absence of real accounts from Portugal, various reports follow each other in quick succession, all of which, when attempted to be traced to their source, prove to be entirely unfounded. Yesterday evening it was reported that a telegraphic dispatch had announced the surrender of Junot's army and the Russian fleet; another rumour stated, that a third battle had been fought in which Junot had lost his life.—Neither of these reports rest on any authority.
This morning it is reported that a vessel arrived at one of the outports, spoke a sloop of war a few days ago, charged with dispatches containing a copy of the articles of capitulation, by which Junot and his army surrendered as prisoners of war on the 28th ult. That intelligence of the surrender of Junot is on the way home we cannot doubt, but we have received no accounts by the mails of this morning giving countenance to the above rumor. Indeed we have seldom seen a day that has brought less intelligence from the ports.
The delay in the arrival of accounts from the Tagus need not, however, excite any uneasiness. At this season the northern winds blow so constantly on that coast, that vessels are often bound to make a western course to enable them to get round the Cape.
ITALY. The statement in our paper of Monday relative to the meditated attack of General Stuart upon the Neapolitan territory, is corroborated by letters from Palermo, which state, that the French had evacuated both the Calabrias; that General Sir James Stuart had embarked for the Peninsula of Italy, with 8000 British regular troops, 8000 Sicilian do. do. and 4000 armed peasantry; and it was supposed the Neapolitans, on our approach would rise en masse.
Notice was yesterday received from Yarmouth, that some vessels from Riga were in the Offing. If this intelligence be correct, some relaxation must have taken place in the Franco-Russian system of opposition to British commerce.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
There are now no less than four Candidates in nomination for the first office in the United States. To wit—Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, of South-Carolina—Governor Clinton, of New-York—James Madison, of Virginia, and James Monroe, of the latter state.
Which of these candidates has the fairest claims to that high and important office—Which is the best qualified to rescue our nation from that gulf of ruin, to the verge of which it has been hurled by the measures of its present misguided, feeble and infatuated rulers? Which is best qualified to raise it to its former state of prosperity, safety and glory? To which, were the passions, the prejudices, the feuds of faction, extinguished, would the deliberate and unbiased voice of the people be given? To which, were it possible for departed worthies to return to our country, would Washington, Hamilton, and Ames—to which, would Warren, Montgomery, and Mercer—to which, would a host of our revolutionary victims, give the sanction of their suffrages.
