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 with the 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 an anchor on the one hand, or of overweening partiality on the other. The Editor's selections shall be made with care and attention, never 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 minutiae 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 2 3/4 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.

J. O. H. N.,
About 21 years of age, hired by me from William Hepburn—He was formerly employed by Hepburn and Dundas as their waggoner—He is a stout well made fellow, about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, with large, thick, pouty lips, a flat nose, large nostrils and is very black—He has a mark resembling a coin on the side of each of his feet near the little toe and stutters when spoken to hastily or when taken by surprise—He had on when he eloped, an old osnaburgh shirt, new osnaburgh trowsers and an old wool hat, and also took with him two woollen jackets, one of them blue, the other brown, a pair of nankeen pantaloon and an old castor hat—It is probable he had other clothes which he may have taken off with him.

FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
A system of government and national economy, directly opposed to and subversive of that under which we have lived and prospered since the dawn of the revolution, has now become fashionable with the chief men in power; and with all their influence and authority, has insidiously been attempted to be brought into general approbation. The author of this experimental system, the philosopher of Monticello, imitated, it is supposed, the rudiments of his plan in France, while he associated with Condorcet and other of the litterateurs of that day, whose golden dreams of perfectibility were realized in the bloody fruits of that revolution, which has so wondrously ended in the tyranny of Bonaparte, and the subjugation to his power of a great part of Europe. In such a school, and at such a time, have the fine spun notions of the speculative plan I am about to develop, been engendered by our American philosopher, and unhappily for his reputation and for his country, he has found the propagation of them, to a considerable extent, to be a task of no great difficulty.
The theory they would establish goes to the destruction of commerce and navigation, as its primary objects, and to make the nation purely agricultural and manufacturing, seems to comprise the great outlines of their practical economy. What alterations may be projected in the political system, have not been so plainly discovered; but so great a change in the practical state of things, will obviously produce what they may conceive a necessity for material changes in the constitution. In making this a nation of agriculturists and manufacturers, their great model is the empire of China, which has little or no trade but with foreigners who go thither for that purpose, and of course but little or no navigation. The bulk of the people inhabiting that vast empire are strangers to the arts of commerce, which constitute the prosperity and the safety of most civilized states—living, under a despotic government existing for ages, they have no rule of conduct but an implicit obedience to laws which they know not but to obey. Industrious they are from necessity, but a spirit of enterprize and of emulation in improving their condition neither exists among them nor comports with the genius of their government; that being alike hostile to such a spirit, and to that system of liberty and equality which are the basis of the government, and the birth-right of the American people. Such, it is conceived, is the design of our philosophical innovators upon, and such their model for the imitation of the free people of these United States—their specious, avowed motives for so important and so unprecedented a change, are, that we shall thereby be relieved from all necessity or temptation to war, and afford no pretence to foreign powers to make it upon us—that we shall of course be saved the expenses of maintaining a navy, and finally to make us, in the language of Mr. Jefferson, a chosen people, if ever there was one, cultivators of the earth in peace and quiet, having none to make us afraid.
This happy state of things, the produce of fanciful imagination, untempered by sober reason and reflection, may look extremely feasible in theory, but unfortunately, like many other brilliant notions of a vain philosophy, the plan is utterly impracticable. It is not calculated to suit the temper and disposition, the habits and customs, of a free, enterprising and high minded people, composing the mass of population in the American republic. The idea of our abandoning commercial pursuits, of retiring from the ocean, is perfectly incompatible with the spirit and genius of the government as well as of the people. There is nothing in either to justify the application of such a novel principle.—Where is the authority to be found by which the occupation of the merchant may be destroyed, any more than that of the planter?—Are not both equally and alike entitled to the protection and the countenance of government? This sacred principle is engrafted in the great family compact which binds these states together, and to question its validity argues an excessive ignorance, or such great political turpitude, that nothing can excuse. The riches and consequence of some of the states, are derived chiefly from commerce and navigation—deprive them of these, and they sink into comparative insignificance.—They lose their just rank and weight in the nation; while the agricultural states, not being affected by the stroke in the same degree, acquire an ascendancy in the public councils that may lead to the overthrow of that equality of rights, and balance of representation among the several states, which were nicely, and on the whole satisfactorily adjusted by the constitution.

From the Baltimore Federal Republican, of July 4.
WE congratulate our country upon the return of this glorious anniversary, sacred to freedom and independence—that we are again permitted to celebrate as freemen, the day when our fathers, superior to every motive of personal danger, signed that celebrated declaration, which gave the world a new nation and a new republic. The spectacle this day exhibited by our citizens in arms, is grateful to the pride and patriotism of Americans. The illustrious deeds achieved by the sainted heroes who redeemed our country from British thralldom, and purchased, with their precious blood, the liberty of a great people, crowd upon the memory, and are hailed with feelings of joy and exultation.
Since our last national jubilee, the world has been doomed to suffer all the new and aggravated injuries which the insatiable ambition of a griping tyrant could inflict. More than one nation has suffered under the relentless lash of tyranny and injustice. More than one nation has been hurled from her station in the political orbit, and consigned to weeping, oppression, and slavery. Revolutionary earthquakes have swallowed up empires and dominions, and the ravages of war have searched out every crevice on the continent to desolate and destroy. An ambition astride the globe marks out the devoted victims who in rapid succession have fallen sacrifices to her power.
From such visitations which have changed the face of Europe, and threaten to rule the destinies of the world, it has pleased Providence to exempt our favored country. We have been graciously suffered, and let us not neglect the occasion, once more to rejoice that we are free, that the cruelties and oppression of the contending powers of Europe, though they check our prosperity, have not abridged our liberties. Mindful of the virtues of our ancestors, who transmitted to us this precious inheritance, let us with hearts expanded with joy and gratitude, celebrate it as Americans, as patriots who are ever ready to offer up their lives as sacrifices to their country, to die in defence of her honor and her rights, rather than let this pledge of freedom, thus bequeathed to them, perish in their keeping.
To reflect upon the interesting periods in the history of our country, is an useful and patriotic exercise. By the aid of history our experience is extended, and it is from experience, not from the delusive conjecture of theorists, that wisdom is gained. The same measures which on a former and more trying occasion, rescued our country from the fangs of tyranny, may not have lost their efficacy. The same fortitude, patriotism and courage, which conducted our ancestors thro' the stormy times of a revolutionary contest, may enable us their descendants, imitating the bright example, to act our parts with equal honor and glory, may dispel the gloomy appearance of political affairs, and once more shed a lustre around the American name.
Let it be cherished in our recollection, that never at the most desperate crisis of the nation did our revolutionary fathers oppose submission to injustice, or shun danger at the expence of their rights. To assert and maintain, at every hazard, their just claims upon other nations, was a role of political action. They waged a long and bloody war rather than crouch beneath the stern oppression of a cruel master, whose success in subduing the combined forces of France & Spain had made him more unjust and tyrannical. The crisis was dreadful; it required all the energy of the human soul. It called for more than the spirit and fortitude of man to encounter the danger, the doubt and anxiety which seized upon every mind. But the spirit of Americans rose to the elevation required. A divine ardor pervaded all ranks, and resolving to be independent or to die, their independence was achieved. The hateful bond of union between America and Great Britain was severed, and the day which beheld her a free nation was consecrated by the blood of ten thousand heroes.
Fellow citizens—soldiers in arms! Let us emulate the virtues of our ancestors; let us imitate the glorious example which their conduct has afforded us. Let us this day, with pure hearts, enter the sacred temple of liberty and kindle up her expiring lamp. It is a holy flame, only to be extinguished by the deceitful fuel of faction. The present situation of our country is sufficient to excite an interest in the feelings of all who are not indifferent to her welfare. It is in vain to close our eyes to
the wide scene of desolation which lies before us; it is impossible not to perceive, that the system of universal destruction is still pursued with its wonted vigor. We cannot be insensible that the venerable laws of nations, which the most abandoned tyrants have at least been accustomed to respect, are no longer a security to the weak against the strong. We cannot deny, and I feel the other pang of humiliation while I this day record it, that the honor of our country has been tarnished; the laurels of our glorious victory over England have withered. The contending powers of Europe have seemingly vied with each other in heaping upon our country unprovoked injuries and insults; they have stained the honor of the nation, and as the sons of revolutionary heroes, who revere the memory of their fathers, we have not resented the insult.
When the unrelenting hand of power is stretched forth against our country, when we see our enemies forging chains to bind us as vassals, from whatever quarter the indignity be offered, let us buckle on our armor and rise in our might to chastise the insolence of overweening power. Never let it be said, that the glorious fabric of the American empire was overthrown by the treachery or cowardice of her own citizens.
FROM THE REPUBLICAN (ALBANY) CRISIS.
EVERY day discloses some new evidence that we are on the brink of an awful precipice, and that unless the judgments which are impending are providentially averted, this country must soon experience the most distressing calamities.
Through the weakness and the wickedness of a corrupt, time-serving administration, we are brought into the most perilous situation. 'Tis passing belief, and generations to come will imagine they are hearing romance, when told, that in the short space of seven years a nation of freemen, have become slaves—a nation of heroes, patriots and sages, have tamely and basely surrendered their high prerogatives with out the shadow of an equivalent.
A single step in retropect, brings to our view the happy days, the golden age of Washington. O lamented genius, forever and forever gone! No space appears unoccupied—all is prosperity, all is happiness. Say not that difficulties did not then exist; they did exist; they threatened, they assailed us in many forms; and difficulties of the most serious kind. In many respects the times and circumstances were more threatening than they have been since. Did Great Britain menace? The remembrance of recent injury and conflict sharpened the edge of our resentments, and spurred us on to mutual aggressions. But Washington was there "and repulsed with his breast the assaults of the thurder," with the voice of reason he calmed our hostile feelings; and in the firm but temperate language of justice, demanded, and obtained redress from our haughty foe. Did not revolutionary France exhaust her resources of intrigue and corruption to draw us into the hideous vortex of her deathful friendship? The spirit and feeling of our citizens were already embarked on her side; and the difficulties to our remaining neutral for a time, appeared insurmountable. But Washington was there, and at his rebuke the emissaries of that "many headed monster," hid themselves, or creak'd in vain around our country, recovering from its infatuation, gazed with equal gratitude and astonishment on the black crimes of atheistical France, and the inevitable ruin which has so hardly escaped. Who that has eyes to see and a heart to feel, but must devoutly render thanks to that beneficent providence which watched over us in these our days of temptation and danger! Wisdom, truth and virtue, then presided in our councils and, amidst ten thousand dangers, preserved us, unhurt, uncontramined.
But now—alas, how changed! The contrast surely must cause every friend to his country to "heave the patriot sigh." Every leading trait in the character of our present administration is marked with weakness, folly or deceit. A correct exhibition of the state of the country when Mr. Jefferson came into office, compared with what it is now, would be the severest satire on his administration. We were then, nationally rich and prosperous—we are now poor, and the sources of our wealth are completely buried; we were then honored for our magnanimity of spirit, and respected for our means and measures to maintain it—we are now in spirit and in measures, such below contempt; then, the nation that dared to insult and injure us, "though oceans rolled between," felt our remonstrance, and rendered justice—now, to shun the occasion, we are compelled, by
our own wonderful administration, to abandon the ocean, and to break off all commerce with the rest of the world; like a spiritless, contemptible spaniel, yapping its own disgrace as he seeks for safety in the "dignified retrenchment" of his kennel. God of America! whither art thou fled!
Tell me not that the embargo and non-intercourse systems are measures of wisdom or necessity—for they are neither. Ask the merchants, (whose interests are most effected) whether they think the president for saving their property by the embargo!—with united voice, they will thunder, NO—ask the farmers of this fertile land, if they will fall down and worship the great Idol, the embargo, for their share of its untold blessings? with imprecation they curse the measure, or point in sullen silence to the wretchedness and woe which it has brought upon them. Ask the honest and industrious mechanic to recount the mighty comforts which Mr. Jefferson's embargo scattered in his path? He tell you he is out of employ—his wife and children are dearer to him than life, are pinched with hunger, and he, wretched man! must be dragged to prison the next hour perhaps! O, blessed embargo! "More popular than any other measure taken by the republican administration," says the National Intelligence—"Encore, the embargo is proved to be more popular than any other measure taken by the republican administration!"
People of America! How long will you suffer such gross indignities to your understanding! Such mad violations of your rights and interests!
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, July 3.
Latest from Europe.
Yesterday arrived the long expected ship OSAGE, Duplex, 48 days from Falmouth, with dispatches, from France and England. Passengers, Lt. Lewis, Wm Oliver, Wm. Bayard, jun. Herman Le Roy, jun. Charles Blodget, Joshua Moses, Wm. Pinckney, jun. and Jos. Howland, jun. together with the following who belonged to American vessels detained and condemned in England, viz. Samuel King, Abishai Moses, Wm. P. Jones, Abishai Swain, Edward Jenkins, Adam Champlin, A. Felix, and E. Murphy.
The British Packet Manchester for Halifax and New York, sailed three days before the OSAGE. Off St. Michael's, was spoken by the British frigate Lively, on a cruise; and was informed that a number of people and an immense deal of property had been recently destroyed at St. George's one of the West India islands, by an earthquake.
Lt. Lewis proceeds this morning for the seat of government, with dispatches from Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Pinckney. It is said the dispatches are of the highest importance.
Our London papers by the OSAGE are to the 15th, one day later than by the Coimplanter. Some of the most material extracts follow.
We have seen a letter from Amsterdam of the 3d of May, which states, that the ships Newton, Daly, and Mary Kimball, which went to Amsterdam for England, were ordered away.
A letter from London of the 10th of May, states, that a letter from cap. Sinclair, of the ship Holland Trader, of New York, observed that he expected the ship would be condemned—that five American ships had been recently seized in Holland, and that an order was hourly expected for the indiscriminate seizure of every American vessel in Holland.
The OSAGE was under seizure in France for a few days, by virtue of the Milan decree; and was not permitted to return to France after being in England.
Our readers will find under the London head, an account of Bonaparte's Bayonne decree against American vessels.
LONDON, May 11.
Our readers may rely on the authenticity of the following communication: Extract of a letter, dated Helder, May 4, 1808.
A decree, issued by the emperor at Bayonne, reached Amsterdam the 23d April, confirming all measures previously decreed respecting navigation; and, I am well informed, subjecting all American vessels, with their cargoes, if met at sea or arriving in any port of France, to positive condemnation. The reason assigned is, that the embargo in America has been of such long continuance, that no vessels can reach the ports of the continent without having been previously sent into England. The ship Mary, captain Kimball, and the brig Newton, captain Daly, have been ordered out of the Texel, without having intercoured

with the shore; and if they had arrived after the 23 th ultimo. I think it probable they would have been confiscated by order of the government. You may consider the above information as correct, for I have it from numerous and respectable authorities.
May 13.
Accounts which may be relied upon, containing intelligence of a very late date, have been received from the French coast. Embargo laid upon all American vessels at the French ports is stated to have a measure carried into effect in conformity with the Bayonne decree. We understand, however, that pains have been taken to the drawing up of the decree, to give it the color and air of a proceeding much less hostile to the Americans than at first was imagined. It is pretended that this is an act of kind consideration towards America—a precaution for the benefit of her citizens, to prevent their property being seized by the British; since it is notorious they cannot venture upon the high seas, without encountering the risk of becoming the prey of British cruisers.
May 15.
America seems now called upon to make an immediate decision in regard to England or France. In consequence of the American decree, Bonaparte has now also decreed, by an ordinance, dated from Bayonne, that every American vessel found in the European seas shall be captured and condemned. The expediency of this order is pretended to be founded on this idea, that in consequence of the American decree, which prohibits the merchant vessels of America from trading to Europe, every merchant vessel found in the European seas, and pretended to be American, must be a forgery, and assume a character to which it is not entitled.
The only Gotterburg mail due, arrived yesterday with letters and papers from Sweden to the 7 th inst. The report of a descent on the Island of Gotland, by the enemy is confirmed, but it was only a predatory enterprise. It was effected not by ten thousand French and Russians, as former accounts stated, but by a force of between two and three thousand Russians alone from Liebau. The Russians have also taken Öland, another island in the Baltic, between Sweden and Gotland, but we may presume, that the arrival of the British forces, will arrest these expeditions in future. There was a report that the Russians have been defeated with considerable loss in Finland, in an attack upon Sweden; but this wants confirmation, and we are sorry to add, that the Swedes have sustained a loss in Norway. The official report of the Baron Armfeldt, dated Head-quarters at Pramhus, the 22 d April states that a Swedish corps, under count Morner, was attacked and surrounded by a superior force, and that the Swedes had 60 prisoners taken, and 90 killed and wounded. An unofficial account states the prisoners as high as 600. Baron Armfeldt, also admits in his report, that the Norwegians have recovered from the first impressions made by the sudden invasion of their country, and attack the Swedes wherever they shew themselves.
Yesterday we received Paris papers to the 10 th inst. The Moniteur of the 4 th contains the following important documents relative to the Spanish Revolution:
Report to his imperial highness the grand duke of Berg, lieutenant of the emperor, commander of his forces in Spain.
"Monsieur! Agreeably to the commands of your imperial highness, I repaired with the letter of your highness to the queen of Etruria at Aranjuez. It was 8 o'clock in the morning; the queen was still in bed: she rose immediately and bade me enter. I delivered your letter to her; she begged me to wait a little and said she would go and read it with the king and queen. Half an hour afterwards I saw the queen and king enter with the king and queen of Spain. His majesty said, that he thanked your imperial highness for the share you had taken in his affliction, which was the greater as his own son was the author of it. The king said that the revolution had been effected by forgery and corruption, and that the principal actors were his son, and M. Caballero, minister of justice; that he had been compelled to abdicate the throne, in order to save the lives of himself and the queen: that he knows that but for this, they would have been murdered in the course of the night; that the conduct of the prince of Asturias was more shocking, seeing that himself, (the king) having perceived his desire to reign, and being himself nearly sixty years of age, had agreed to surrender the crown to him, on his marriage taking place with a French princess, which the king ardently desired. The king and the queen should
repair to Badajoz, on the frontiers of Portugal; that he had got means to inform him that the climate of that country did not suit him; that he sought to obtain permission of the emperor to purchase an estate in France, where he might end his days. The queen told me she begged of her son to postpone their journey to Badajoz, that she had not procured this, and that the journey was to take place on the ensuing Monday. And the moment I was departing from their majesties, the king said to me, "I have written to the emperor, in whose hand I repose my fate." I wished to send my letter by a courier, but I know no surer means of sending it than by your's. The king left me then in order to repair to his cabinet. He soon returned with the following letters (No. 1 & 2) in his hand, which he gave me and added these words, "My situation is most deplorable; they have seized the prince de la Paz, and will put him to death: he has committed no other crime than that he has at all times been attached to me." He added there were no efforts which he would not have attempted to save the life of his unhappy friend, but that he had found the whole world deaf to his entreaties; and bent with vengeance; that the death of the prince de la Paz would draw after it his own, and that he should not survive him.

Letter from King Carlo IV. to the Emperor Napoleon.
"Sir, my brother—Your majesty will assuredly hear with pain of the events which have taken place at Aranjuez, and their consequences; you will not, without sympathy, see a king who has been compelled to resign his throne, throw himself into the arms of a great monarch, his ally, placing every thing in his protection, who alone can fix his happiness and that of his whole family and his trusty and beloved subjects. Under the pressure of the moment, and amid the clashing of weapons, and the cries of a rebellious guard, I found that I had to choose between my life and death, and that my death would be followed by that of the queen; I was compelled to abdicate the throne; but to day peace is restored, and full of confidence in the generosity and genius of the man who at all times declared himself my friend, I have taken my resolution to resign myself in his hands, and await what he shall resolve on my fate, that of the queen and of the prince de la Paz. I address myself to your majesty, and protest against the errors which took place at Aranjuez, and against my dethronement. I rely with confidence and altogether upon the cordiality and friendship of your majesty, praying that God may have you in his holy keeping—sir, my brother, your royal and imperial majesty's affectionate brother and friend,
"CARLOS."
Aranjuez, March 25, 1808.
No. II.
"I protest and declare, that my decree of the 19 th of March, in which I renounce my crown in favor of my son, is a deed to which I was compelled, in order to prevent greater calamities, and spare the blood of my beloved subjects. It is therefore to be considered as of no authority.

I, THE KING.
Accounts have been received, stating that a treaty has been signed at Bayonne, between Bonaparte and the new king of Spain. The following is the substance:
By the first article Bonaparte recognizes the new king of Spain, Ferdinand the VII th .
By the second he confers upon him the administration of Portugal till a general peace.
Another article relates to the prince of peace, who, we hear had not been released from prison at the date of the treaty, but who is to be sent into France. The article contains an accusation against him.
Another article declares that Spain joins in the confederation of the Rhine, and that her contingent is to be 50,000 men.
Another article cedes to France a port in Spanish America.
There are secret articles which have not transpired.
To whom it may Concern.
NOTICE is hereby given, That application will be made for Duplicate Certificates of seven shares in the capital stock of the Pennsylvania Copper Mine Company, the originals of which have been either lost or mislaid, viz.

SATURDAY, JULY 9.
Paris, April 28.
From Algiers the following official report has been received:—
"The measures pursued by the Dey of Algiers towards the Europeans become every day more violent. The Dey having scarcely the government in his hands, not being assured of the fidelity of his troops, and even the confirmation of his office from the Grand Seigneur, his sovereign, not being arrived, and being involved in a bloody war with the Bey of Tunis, thought he might in spite of the difficulties of his situation levy tribute upon all nations.
"On the 22 d instant, he made a demand of the Swedish, Danish, and Dutch Consuls, that they should bring him their presents;—and required of the Consul of America 13,000 double piastres, in order to indemnify him for the loss of nine Algerines taken in an American vessel. The Consul pretended that the crew of the vessel had thrown the men overboard, as they were on the point of being boarded by one of her cruisers.
"The Consul of Sweden immediately agreed to the present.
"On the 22 d , the three Consuls of Denmark, Holland and America were summoned to the Palace.
"The Consul of Holland said, he expected instructions from his government, and that that he could not, till he received those instructions make any present. On this the Dey caused it to be intimated to him, that unless he instantly on the arrival of his messenger received his present, he should put his children into irons and send them to labour.
"The Consul of America had not yet received official tidings of the fact of which the Dey had complained, and thought that he could not, without the order of his government, pay the 13,000 piastres.
"The Dey answered him that unless he should pay the sum in four days he should cast him in irons, or he must deliver to him nine Americans, whom he would hang up at the gate of Bab Azoua.
"Mr. Ulrich Consul of Denmark making representation of the state of his country, said, that the vessel which contained his presents had been seized by the English and confiscated, and that the English agent at Algiers himself would testify this; the Consul solicited time of the government; but the Dey paying no respect to the character of an agent speaking in the name of his master, caused him to be seized by the officers of justice in the midst of the Palace and taken to prison, amidst the shouts of a barbarous populace.
"Those who could enter into this horrid prison saw this worthy man among slaves in his official dress, and loaded with a chain of 60 pounds weight, which Mr. Ulrich bore with fortitude and courage; he merely recommended to his friends the care of his wife and five children.
"At length the Dey resolved on the earnest entreaties of the European Consuls, to set the Danish Consul at liberty, and while he was occupied working with all the slaves, they came and took off his chain.
"What security is there against the renewal of these acts of violence!
"All the slaves here are treated with the most horrid cruelty: 450 Portuguese are shut up in prison—The court of Lisbon delayed sending the tribute—The government has not sent them any relief, and they are in extreme wretchedness. The officers as well as sailors are condemned to labor and are loaded with ignominy.
"A great number of Neapolitans, also slaves not in a less pitiable situation; and the Dey who expects to conquer Tunis in the first campaign, hopes to make a booty of 3000 more European slaves, whose ransom he will fix very high. Since he has been forced to give up all the slaves who were subjects of the Emperor Napoleon, it seems that he is resolved to make his system of robbery press harder upon the other foreigners."
REST.
IN early time, ere Fraud was known on earth, Or Theft and Rapine yet had monstrous birth, Or Pride and Envy broke into the world;
Kind nature then, Produc'd to men, While all in common stood, A plenteous store, Enough and more, Of every earthly good.
The Innocence with Lust untainted, smil'd, And Rest, delightful Pleasure's conscious child
Repos'd on turfs of flowers, 'neath myrtle shades,
Dissolv'd in dreams, And lull'd by streams With milk and nectar flowing; Or danc'd on greens, In many scenes With light airs softly blowing.
The easy age breath'd forth perpetual spring, And melting fragrance, spread an airy wing, Drop'd ripen'd fruits in careless Pleasure's lap,
While under bowers, Are lull'd o'er with flowers, Midst birds forever singing, Sat quiet Rest, And heav'nly guest, To men these pleasures bringing.
STRAY COW.
STRAYED or STOLEN from the Cornmons near this Town on Monday the 4 th inst. a yellowish red Milch Cow, with white face and belly, and had on a broad leather collar with my name worked on it, from which circumstance she is known to almost every person in and about the town. I will give a liberal reward if brought home, and if stolen or secreted I will give Ten Dollars to the person who will give information in whose possession she may be in, so that I get her again and the offender is convicted.

WILL BE PUBLISHED AT 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 shew 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.
EDITOR. 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 punctu- ated to. Alex. 13th 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- vigations, 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 Culpepper 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- chasers own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable mer- chandize. The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CRAPIN, esqr. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
