STOP THE THIEF. On Thursday night, the 24th of January last, was taken out of my stable, about 7 or 8 o'clock, A BAY MARE,
FOUR years old next spring, about 14 and an half hands high, rough hood before, a snip on the end of her nose rubbed with the waggon gear, and I think one of her hind feet white, has large ears. I will give FIVE DOLLARS for the Mare, if taken ten miles from home; TEN, if 20; or TWENTY for the Mare and Thief, if convicted so as to be brought to condign punishment, and all reasonable expenses if taken at a greater distance. John Ball, sen. Alexandria County, Dist. Col. } saw February 3. N. B. The Mare was seen in possession of the thief, crossing Washington's Ferry to the city of Washington, on the night she was stolen.

GENERAL MIRANDA.
Should it be the serious design of Miranda to emancipate the Spanish provinces of South America, and establish among them an independent government, there is no liberal man in this country who will not wish him success. The Spanish colonies of South America, are inferior to none in the value of their soil, or their adaption to commerce, and they are inferior to none in the dependence which they sustain and the tyranny under which they suffer. Nature scarce ever did more for any country: Man scarcely ever did less.
The general population of South America being estimated at about 13,000,000, it is probable from the accounts of some geographers, that the Spanish possessions contain about 9,000,000. According to baron Humboldt, the latest and most correct traveller in that country, the province of Mexico contains 5 or 6 millions. The city of Mexico itself has 150,000 inhabitants. According to this estimate Spain has under her sceptre in Mexico and South America not less than 14 or 15 millions of people.
Mexico or New Spain, is divided into Old Mexico, which contains the audiences of Galicia, Mexico and Guatemala, which are subdivided into 22 provinces; New Mexico divided into two audiences, Apacheria and Sonora; and California on the west, a peninsula. The civil government of Mexico is administered by tribunals, called audiences. In these courts, the viceroy of the king of Spain presides, who continues in office three years. The priests, monks and nuns, are said to constitute a fifth of the white inhabitants. The capital of this country is the celebrated city of Mexico, the trade of which consists of 3 great branches extending over the whole world. It carries on a traffic with Europe, by La Vera Cruz, situated on the Gulf of Mexico; with the East Indies by Acapulco on the South Sea 110 miles S. W. of Mexico; and with South America by the same port.
"The Spanish territories are parcelled into various departments. The grand divisions are, the vice-royalty of Buenos Ayres; that of Peru, which includes Chili; and that of New Grenada in the north: the capital of the first being Buenos Ayres, of the second Lima, and of the third Bogota, or Santa Fe de Bogota, N. lat. 4.
"Lima was founded by Pizarro, and is supposed to contain 45,000 inhabitants, scarcely more than a third part of the population of Mexico.
"Buenos Ayres was founded in 1535, receiving its name from the salubrity of the air. The population is supposed to be about 33,000. It is the great resort of passengers from Spain, who thence cross the country of Potosi, there being an uninterrupted post road with post-houses, and relays of horses and carriages, across the country to Peru. Bogota is rarely visited by travellers, and is little known.
"Of the other chief towns, Carthagena contains 25,000 souls; and Potosi about the same number; Popayan above 20,000. Quito 50,000. The manufactures of Spanish South America are inconsiderable. Among the exports are sugar, cotton, cocoa, Peruvian bark and Vicuna wool. But the chief exports are from the mines.—From the official registers it appears that the coinage in Spanish America, from the first day of January to the last day of December, 1790, was as follows: In gold 2,470,812, and in silver 23,906,023 piasters."
We have no documents before us, by which we might ascertain the extent of the commerce of Mexico, New Grenada or Peru. The following statement of the trade of Buenos Ayres may suffice to explain not only the actual condition of that province but the comparative commerce of the rest:
We shall be best enabled to form a correct idea of the prosperity and commerce of this country, by taking a view of the imports and exports. In the year 1796, there arrived thirty-five loaded ships from Cadiz, twenty-two from Barcelona, Malaga, and Alfaquez; nine from Corunna; five from Santander; one from Vigo; and one from Gijon. The value of that part of the cargoes which consisted of Spanish productions, amounted to 1,705,866 American piasters. The value of the foreign manufactures, &c. which were imported in the above ships amounted to 1,148,078; and sum total of both, to 2,853,944 piasters. On the other hand, there sailed from Buenos Ayres, twenty-six ships for Cadiz; ten for Barcelona, Malaga, and Alicante; eleven for Corunna; and four for Santander. These carried coined and
uncoined gold of the value of 1,425,701 piasters. The value of silver exported amounted to nearly 2,556,304, and that of the other productions of the province, to 1,076,877 piasters. The value of all the exports consequently amounted to 3,038,882. The goods exported consisted of 875,593 raw ox-hides; 43,752 horse-hides; 25,436 skins of a finer sort; 46,800 arrobas of melted tallow; 771 arrobas of Vicuna wool; 2264 arrobas of common wool; and 291 arrobas of the wool of the Guanaco, or camel-sheep; 11,890 goose wings; 451,000 ox horns; 3223 cwt. of copper; 4 cwt. of tin; 2541 tanned hides; 222 dozen of manufactured sheep-skins; 2123 cwt. of salted beef; and 185 cwt. of salted pork.
Literary Magazine, Jan. 1804.
Besides these vessels and cargoes employed in the European trade, there arrived two ships from the Havanna with brandy, sugar, &c. to the amount of one hundred and twenty three thousand five hundred and sixty two piasters, and in the same year fourteen ships sailed from Buenos Ayres to the Havanna with cargoes amounting to one hundred and sixty thousand one hundred and ten piasters. Two ships from Lima and Guayaquil imported to the amount of fifty thousand one hundred and fifty four piasters. The value of the exports to the same places amounted to 67,150 piasters. In the same year one thousand three hundred and fifty negro slaves were imported in 4 Spanish and five foreign ships.
From this concise sketch of the trade of Buenos Ayres in the year 1796, which is the only authentic account that we possess of the commerce of any of the Spanish possessions in South America, the reader will at once perceive the wide scope which they lay open to commerce, and the artificial shackle which is imposed upon its exertions. He will see that 9 years ago the amount of exports from Buenos Ayres alone amounted to five millions two hundred and eighty six thousand one hundred and forty two piasters; the piaster being a coin of about five shillings in value. He will see also that the whole exportation was confined to Spanish bottoms alone; all other vessels being excluded at that time from Buenos Ayres, unless they went freighted with negro slaves & hardware.—We leave it to our readers therefore to calculate what is the whole amount of the exports from all the Spanish colonies of America, and what that amount would naturally be, if the agriculturalists instead of being ruled by a privileged clergy and temporary Viceroy, was placed under the benign auspices of a free and independent government; if commerce instead of being controuled by the monopoly of the Spanish merchants, was as free as the winds of heaven.
Our imagination is ready to take fire at the contemplation of a scene of things, which time is destined to realise, and which every friend to freedom must wish to see accomplished. We compare the situation that we were placed in when we were British colonies, with that which we now enjoy as free and independent states. We cast our eyes upon the oppressed and populous provinces of Spain, and we demand why they also should not become equally free and independent. The rights of man are not to be defined by geographical boundaries. Whence does Spain derive its privilege of ruling the soil of South America? or how is this privilege more sacred than the privilege of South America to rule her? We do not believe that the inhabitants of South America are as well qualified for the enjoyment of a free government as were the people of the British colonies; because we do not consider them so generally enlightened. Still we cannot presume to doubt that they are fitted for the establishment of an independent government, and that the experience of a few years will qualify them for a government of freedom. It is under the influence of these convictions that we wish every success to the enterprise of general Miranda, if it be such a one as our correspondent has suggested. May he become the Washington of South America! May he shake off the Spanish yoke from the necks of his countrymen; and contribute to establish among them a government that is independent of Europe, and as free as the habits of the people will permit. At no distant day may South America exhibit a confederated republic as free, as prosperous, as instructive to the despots of Europe, as the United States of North America!
But whilst we put up our prayers for his success, we merely express the feelings of an individual. We neither believe it to be the interest of our government to have co-operated in the expedition, nor
are we convinced that the power and resources of general Miranda are equal to the labor which he has undertaken.
The establishment of an independent government in America would not only promote the prosperity of the people, on whom it is to operate, but on the whole civilized world. From the data which we have already stated relative to the commerce of Buenos Ayres, the vast extent of the South American trade may be easily conjectured. This trade would seek a new channel.—Instead of being dragged through the storehouses and magazines of the Havanna and Spain, the exports would pursue that course, which would be productive of the greatest advantage. The flags of every carrying nation would be seen flying in their harbors. The vessels of the United States instead of plying a smuggling and a contraband trade, would lade and unlade their cargo in the face of day and under the very eye of the government. The most profitable commerce which we have carried on with those colonies, was pursued during the year 1800, but observe the miserable shifts and expedients into which some of our merchants were driven, at that day, to put to sleep the jealousy of the Spanish dragon. An American vessel visited the South Sea, under the pretence of hunting the whale or the seal. When it arrived off the coast of Lima, nothing was more easy than to damage a few boxes of goods or scuttle the Hull of the vessel. In this situation she put into the port of Lima under all the appearances of distress: The viceroy granted her the privilege of repairing her damages, and of selling as much of her cargo as would be sufficient to defray the expences of reparation. In the mean time, the whole cargo was smuggled on shore. The catastrophe of this commerce however, was rather unfortunate. The complaisant viceroy was changed.—Our vessels were detained by his successor, their cargoes were confiscated, and our merchants were despoiled of the profits of their lucrative commerce. But let an independent government be established among them, and this contest between plunder and subterfuge will be for ever put to sleep, and the golden fruit of the Hesperides will be within the reach of every visitor.
COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor of the ENQUIRER.
SIR, I am not in the habit of making communications either to the public or in private company which are not supported on facts. The short narrative as to Miranda's past conduct, I know to be perfectly true. I ought to have added that he was acquitted by a court martial with honor. Mr. Barlow who now resides in Washington can bear testimony of it. I have been a witness to some very important things, both in France and England, in which he shewed talents, integrity and perseverance.
I am sorry to see him represented as an adventurer in any papers of our country. The time however is approaching, when his character will be better known.
Your strictures therefore may rest uncontradicted; but that you may credit what I have advanced on this subject, I have left a letter with Mr. Hylton, the clerk of the council, addressed to you, and to be delivered when it can do no harm to the cause in question; in which you will find the outlines of the design; the place of rendezvous, &c. &c. You must not blame my caution in keeping the port or place of destination from the public, for the minister of Spain would gladly know it and by express might possibly prevent the design. Yours, &c.
On the foregoing communication it is unnecessary to make a single comment. It will be sufficient for us to state a single FACT.
It is then a FACT that a subscription paper is now in secret circulation among some of the inhabitants of this city for the purpose of encouraging a trading voyage to South America. The capital to be subscribed for, is principally to be collected from the purses of the merchants; the purposes for which it is to be subscribed are stated on the very face of the paper. The whole capital is to be divided into 30 shares; each subscriber to contribute one thousand dollars. Of course the whole capital will amount to thirty thousand dollars. If a subscriber should find it inconvenient to advance his share in specie, he may throw in his goods to that amount. The whole of this fund, the entire management of it, the port of destination, and every arrangement connected with the voyage, is to be under the direction of a cer-
tain gentleman in this city. It is stated on the face of the subscription paper, that the project is to be no more than a legal trade to South America, the particular port of destination not being mentioned; and it is added by way of encouragement, that the subscribers may expect to receive not less than 400 per cent. profit from the adventure.
Such is the general outline of the project itself; it is incumbent upon us to subjoin a few reports, which are ultimately connected with it. We have no intention to deceive the reader in a single instance; and it is on this account that we call them reports. They are such reports, however, as are entitled to respect, on account of the respectable authority from which they are derived. It is then reported, that by way of a additional inducement to an immediate co-operation in the design, it has been represented that similar adventures are now rapidly progressing in some of the richest northern towns, and that the certain profit of the speculation will quickly tempt other merchants to embark their capital in the adventure. It is reported, that three or four of our merchants have already consented to subscribe for shares. It is reported, that one of the friends of Mr. Jefferson has been requested to inform him of the plan, and advise him to take a share under a fictitious name.
Our merchants should pause, before they determine to venture upon schemes, the profit and propriety of which are so extremely doubtful. They say that this is to be a "legal trade" to South America. But we ask what is this trade which is so profitable, and at the same time sanctioned by the law? Is it the customary trade which is carried on with the Spanish ports of South America? What then has made this usual trade so unusually profitable? Or whence comes it that a trade of such extraordinary advantage should so long have escaped the lynx-eyed vigilance of our merchants; that capital which always seeks its most profitable destination should so long have shunned this particular branch of commerce; and that the inland capital of Virginia should all at once have become the asylum of a commercial project, which has avoided the towns on the seaboard? If it be said that these towns have already embarked their capital in the project, we would ask our merchants whether there is no danger that the multitude of adventurers should reduce the profits of the adventure.
The legal trade here spoken of may not however, be the customary and limited trade carried on with the Spanish colonies; but a new and more extensive trade to be created out of general Miranda's project. This is in fact the trade which is generally understood to be the one alluded to in the project. It is said that when Miranda succeeds in revolutionizing some of the provinces of South America, he will throw open their ports to our vessels; tonnage will be wanting; an indescribable mass of the produce of that country will be ready for exportation; our merchandize will produce an immense profit. Fortunate then will be the vessel, whose cargo is first wafted into their ports: Happy the merchant, who reaps the first harvest of Miranda's genius! This picture is certainly a very glowing one, but let sober reason for one moment ponder upon its correctness. If Miranda succeeds; is this event probable? Have our merchants examined his resources, those which he has carried with him and those which he will next meet with in his own country; the prejudices of the people whom he is to emancipate or the power of the government which he is to overthrow? Have all these details been satisfactorily explained to them? But suppose Miranda fails, what then is to become of their profits or their capital? Why! this 400 per cent. adventure like the Mississippi or the South Sea bubble, may for a time captivate the observer by its dazzling colours, and like them evaporate into "thin air."

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Friday, March 14.
A message was received from the senate respecting their disagreement to a bill relative to the library. A message was likewise received from the senate, stating their appointment of a committee on their part, to unite with such committee as the house might see fit to appoint, to consider and report such business as it will be necessary to transact during the present session; in which the house concurred.
On motion of Mr. Findley, it was resolved that major general Arthur St. Clair be allowed to be heard at the bar of the house in support of his claim on Monday at 12 o'clock. Mr. Alston called for the order of the day for the house to resolve itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the nation.
Mr. Clark moved to postpone this order till Monday. The Speaker declared it out of order to postpone such an order of the day. The question of going into a committee was then put and carried—Ayes 70. Mr. J. C. Smith took the chair. The committee having agreed to take up the resolution submitted by Mr. Nicholson.
Mr. Mumford spoke at considerable length in vindication of the mercantile character and in favor of prompt and efficient measures. Mr. Chaudler delivered himself to the same effect. He observed that his own opinion was in favor of Mr. Gregg's resolution; but to insure greater unanimity he would agree to the resolution under consideration.
Mr. J. Randolph spoke against the resolution, and avowed himself in favor of negotiating with Britain. Mr. J. Clay, believing a delay of four or five days very desirable, moved that the committee should rise. Mr. Alston opposed this motion, and took occasion to express his opinion of the general course of measures proper to be pursued, declaring himself decidedly in favor of adopting the resolution under consideration.
Mr. Smile spoke against the rising of the committee and in favor of an early decision of the measures contemplated to be pursued. He was followed by Messrs. J. Clay, J. Randolph, and Nicholson, who advocated the rising of the committee, principally on the ground that it was proper to wait a short time to learn the issue of the negotiation depending between Mr. Munroe and the British ministry, and of the great events passing on the theatre of Europe.
The motion for the committee to rise was rejected, Ayes 48, Noes 63. Mr. J. Clay then rose, and made a short speech, chiefly embracing facts of a commercial nature. In the course of his remarks he said he considered the resolution under consideration as well calculated to induce Britain to abandon her unjust and unauthorized pretensions. He was, therefore, in favor of acting upon it, though not at this time. For this reason, and as it was near the usual hour of adjournment he moved that the committee should rise. Mr. Early advocated the rising of the committee.
Mr. Findley declared himself in favor of the motion, not however that the subject should be postponed, but merely because they had reached the ordinary time of adjournment. Mr. Lyon enquired whether the object of the motion was postponement. If so he should vote against it.
Mr. J. Clay said his object was to postpone the subject till Monday. Mr. Lyon then spoke against the rising of the committee, and took occasion to assign his reasons for being decidedly in favor of the resolution under consideration.
Mr. Mumford opposed the rising of the committee, and said he had received a very important letter from the President of the Marine Insurance Company of New York, which he read. The letter expresses the deep apprehension entertained by the merchants of New York, that Congress will rise without adopting effectual measures for the protection of commerce against the depredations of the belligerent nations, and, particularly those of Britain.
Messrs. Stanton and Jackson likewise spoke against the rising of the committee,
and urged the strong necessity of prompt and vigorous measures. When the question was taken, ayes 65, noes 47, and the house adjourned a short time after three o'clock, till Monday.
Latest Foreign News.
From the N. Y. Mercantile Advertiser, of March 13.
On a reperusal of our late file of French papers we find the following addition to the list of bulletins: Translated for the Mercantile Advertiser, from the Appendix to the thirty first bulletin of the Grand Army.
AUSTERLITZ, December 4. This moment arrived at head quarters the capitulation, forwarded by marshal Augereau, of the corps of the Austrian army commanded by general Jellachich. The Emperor would have preferred that the prisoners should have been sent to France, even had it occasioned a few days longer blockade; experience having proved that when permitted to return to Austria, they have soon afterwards been incorporated with the armies.
General Wreden, commanding the Bavarians, has had several skirmishes in Bohemia with the Archduke Ferdinand. He has made some hundred prisoners.
The Prince de Rohan, at the head of a corps of 6000 men, which had been cut off by marshals Ney and Augereau, threw themselves upon Trente, passed the neck of Bonacio, and attempted to penetrate to Venice. He was beaten by general St. Cyr, who made him and his whole corps prisoners. The following is the dispatch of marshal Massena, giving an account thereof to the minister of war.

The general of division Maurice Mathieu, grand officer of the legion of honor, commanding the second division of the 7th corps of the Grand Army, authorised by the marshal of the empire Augereau, general in chief of the said corps; and general Wolkeffel, in the service of his imperial and royal majesty the emperor of Germany, authorised by general Jellachich, commander in chief of the Austrian armies in the Voralberg; have agreed on the following articles:—

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
TUESDAY, MARCH 18.
We understand the House of Representatives of the U. States, yesterday passed the resolution offered by Mr. Nicholson some time since—Ayes 85, Noes 37.
FRENCH BULLETINS.
Those lately received, in spite of former experience, have been read with almost implicit and general belief. No editor, except Mr. Coleman, of the New York Evening Post, has ventured to doubt—He pauses—waits further information to operate conviction. Let us do so likewise.—It seems to be the error of the politicians of the day to devour news with an avidity that precludes investigation, and in a summary way to determine the fate of empires.
When we find such papers (although official ) stamped with frivolity and palpable falsehood, surely we ought to withhold our unqualified belief. Who can believe that in a battle so sanguinary as all accounts state that of the 2d of December to have been, the French should have lost in killed only 800 men? that "an army of 100 000 men, commanded by the emperors of Germany and Russia, had been in less than four hours cut to pieces and dispersed?" Is it to be supposed, after that most masterly and probably unrivaled state paper issued by count Cobentzel, of the causes of the renewal of war, and the noble and dignified conduct of Alexander, these monarchs would degrade themselves and their cause , in abusing the English for shopkeepers and as the origin of hostilities?
But it is tiresome to point out the absurdities of these official papers, calculated only for the meridian of Paris, where implicit belief or silence must follow perusal.
The accounts under the Berlin head of the 9th December, received some time ago and those from London of the 19th, may be exaggerated as to the battles subsequent to the 2d, but they are certainly entitled to some attention, more particularly as the French even by their own statement, had not advanced from Austerlitz after this grand victory. Is it not to be presumed that had Bonaparte been so completely victorious he would have pushed into Poland and gratified his ambition by planting his eagles on the walls of Warsaw as he had done on those of Vienna?
In what page of the life of Napoleon shall we read that he stopped in the career of victory "that there might be some tears the less shed?" Does the massacre at Jaffa or the murder of the duke d'Enghien show this milkiness of human kindness? No—these pages are written in blood.
It is not improbable that after a well fought battle on both sides a cessation of arms has been agreed on—that both claim the victory and wait only for reinforcements to again try the fate of war.
The Russians by so doing get time for Michelson to arrive with the army which was at Dresden (about 200 miles from the seat of action) about the 2d of Nov. The French have an opportunity of receiving reinforcements by the junction of the divisions under marshals Ney & Marmont, which much must have been in Lower Austria and Upper Styria and the new levies from France may be stationed to preserve the communications and to observe the motions of the French army which had arrived in the vicinity of Nuremberg, in Franconia.
But we hear nothing of that prince of princes, the archduke Charles, in the French Bulletins—that general must have been in Hungary adding the levies of that kingdom, to his brave although unfortunate army.
I say again—let us pause: let us give implicit faith to the French and one grain to the English accounts. For my part I remain among thousands a
SCEPTIC.
From Denmark We have accounts, via Salem, to Nov. 24, which state, that that kingdom had continued neutral; and that the crown prince was on the frontiers at the head of 50 000 men.

He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life.
