The Stages South of Alexandria.
ON the first of October next the Mail Stage will commence running as follows between Alexandria and Petersburg in Virginia:
Will leave Alexandria every day at 6 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Dumfries by 5 in the morning—Leave Dumfries at 6 and arrive at Fredericksburg by 11 1-2 in the morning—Leave Fredericksburg at 12 (noon) and arrive at Richmond the next morning by 6—Leave Richmond at 6 1-2 and arrive at Petersburg by 11 1-2 in the morning.
Returning, will leave Petersburg every day at 12 1-2 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria in the same time. This stage will carry no more than 2 passengers on any account whatever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage can be allowed to each passenger.
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 a 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages."
Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen."
The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.

"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

TO WILSON C. NICHOLAS, ESQ.
LETTER VI.
SIR,
You admit, what indeed, must of necessity be admitted, that "It cannot be the interest of the United States that all the force of Europe should be at the disposal of one man!" You tell us likewise, that "the loss" to England, "of our market, the withholding of our supplies, & the proper application of our force would bring destruction on that nation. This we have neither the inclination nor interest to do."
Let us for a moment consider these things. If it be not the interest of the U. States that all the force of Europe should be at the disposal of Bonaparte. If our co-operation with either of the belligerent nations would, as you say, enable her to effect her object, whence comes it that seeing the danger to your country from the power of France, you nevertheless appear, and with all your influence and ability support these very measures which you assert would destroy England, and consequently put all the force of Europe at the disposal of one man.
There are, as you say, only three things wanted to bring destruction on Great-Britain; and, of course to put all Europe at Bonaparte's disposal. Two of these, and by far the most efficient, you adopt, and vindicate, and yet you tell us, that you have not the inclination to bring destruction on England, and that it is not the interest of the United States that all the force of Europe should be at the disposal of one man. Will it be possible, sir, by the most subtle sophistry, to reconcile this conduct, even in the appearance, with policy or patriotism? If Bonaparte controled, and dictated to our government, what else could be required than that we should shut our ports and market against Great-Britain.
Great-Britain, you know, and say, depends much for her revenue on commerce; France does not. By depriving the former of our market, and supplies, you do precisely what France desires. You do all in your power to sap the foundation of British strength, and to unerve that arm which hurls defiance at a hostile continent.
By the motives by which men or nations are actuated, than by their actions. To judge by this standard, would it not be believed that we have not the inclination to bring destruction on Great-Britain? Alas, sir, if her fate depended solely on our inclination to save, or to destroy her, how near would be the hour of her destruction! Nay, long ere this, she would, also have sunk into the gloom of annihilation; and that asylum of persecuted liberty, that last refuge of the hopes of mankind, would have smouldered in its ruins.
You say, on what authority I know not, that Great-Britain affords us a market but for a small proportion of our staple articles; and to prove this, you instance tobacco, of which she consumes, annually according to you, only 12,000 hogsheads. I always before thought that he who bought an article was considered as affording a market for that article, though he did not himself consume it; but it seems that to buy is nothing, unless the buyer consumes. However, is it really true that Great-Britain affords us a market but for a small proportion of our staple articles? What does she do with our cotton? Export it? What with our flaxseed, naval stores, and a thousand articles I cannot name? Export them too?—No, sir, she does not export them: and with the single exception of tobacco, she may be said to consume nearly all she gets from us. Our pork and beef never went to Great-Britain, our flour only sometimes; but did not her colonies afford us a market for these objects? Yea, and did not these colonies also consume them? But you illustrated your assertion by a reference to tobacco, leaving it to be inferred by those unacquainted, that it was with all the other articles she took from us, as with that—whereas the fact is, that it is the only article they get from us of which they re-export any considerable part. Your professed object, sir, is to give information to your constituents; but have you, in this instance, labored to give information, or to lend to delusion an accession of force? Such, in-
deed, is the temper of the times, that, perhaps, a majority of your constituents love what pleases better than what instructs;—would rather pamper their prejudices, than nourish their understandings. Many of your opinions, facts, and arguments seem completely calculated to gratify this propensity; to perpetuate ignorance, and to render obscurity more obscure.
Again, in contending for the propriety and necessity of embargo (that rock on which your party, in their headlong ardor to ruin Great-Britain have split, and may finally perish) you say, "it is enough to justify the embargo to say, that not a ship of ours can sail which will not be subject to seizure and confiscation, by one or other of the belligerents, unless she is going to the barren kingdom of Sweden. I challenge any man to deny this fact." How bold! You are not bolder than I, for hear what I assert, that you and I, and the millions besides who swarm on the earth, are subject to die before the sun goes down. I challenge any man to deny this fact. Yet, do you apprehend much danger of this event happening? We are subject, or liable (words which in this case are synonymous) to many accidents and dangers which, however, never come upon us. To be subject or liable to a specific accident is one thing, actually to meet with it is another. No man has said, that, our ships were not subject to seizure, and confiscation, under Bonaparte's decrees, and king George's orders; but it has been said, and I reiterate the assertion, that the far greater part of our surplus produce might, with little danger of seizure, have been transported to a market. Although our ships were subject to be seized by the French, and their allies, how were they to seize them? You, yourself talk, and talk truly, of the British having swept their enemies from the ocean, what then was to capture our ships going to British ports in Europe, Asia, Africa and America? But this would be giving to Great-Britain "the monopoly of our supplies;" and rather than do this wicked thing; rather than do aught that should tend to enable her to keep all the power of Europe from being at the disposal of one man; our produce should perish on our hands, our ships rot in our ports, our merchants become bankrupt, our seamen be reduced to the condition of paupers; and inconveniences, difficulties & distress should pervade every class of society. All this, however, is nothing, so G. Britain suffer. We will freely amputate both our hands, if, by doing so, we can tear from G. Britain one of hers.
Speaking of British impressments, you say, "it is our clear, and indisputable right that our flag should protect from belligerents all persons except those in the military, or naval service of their enemies." This doctrine you find in the new system of the law of nations lately composed by Mr. Madison. I cannot conceive where else you could find it. If this be the law why have nations, when forming treaties of amity, introduced articles specially providing for what you say, was before provided for by the law of nations? This was done by France and Great-Britain in their treaty of 1786, for in the XXth article of that treaty, I find it stipulated that free ships shall make the persons on board free, unless they be soldiers going to be employed in a military capacity. I find too, in Vattel, that a nation being "obliged to preserve itself, it has a right to every thing necessary for its preservation," now, there cannot be two conflicting rights. We cannot possess the right of protecting British seamen by our flag, and the British have, at the same time, a right to take them from us. Vattel says, moreover, that "every member of a society is obliged to serve, and defend the state, as far as he is able; and how can a British seaman be obliged to defend his state, if we have a right to protect him in the desertion of this duty?"
If there ever was a case in which a nation could justly claim all the rights resulting from the necessity of self-preservation, that case has occurred. Contending with the continent of Europe, Great-Britain must be supposed to need every means of defence, and offence, which she can bring to her aid; nor can she suffer an atom to be filched from her strength, without violating the first and most sacred duty; the duty of warding off destruction.
But this subject of impressments is one not to be discussed in any short compass. I could easily assert that our flag does not possess the right you contend for; but what signifies assertions made to those who feel a strong impulse, and interest not to believe them. You, indeed, may safely affirm; I must prove, and prove too under the painful reflection that even the most ample proof might be rejected; and that tho' I should succeed in convincing those passions which would render conviction totally inert. I have nevertheless, with this impression on
my mind, offered some remarks on some of the opinions, assertions, arguments and facts of your late circular. I say on some of them, for almost every line of that letter afforded occasion for remark, or animadversion. Its sentiments, are those of your party; and as such I have treated them; not, indeed, with tenderness; but, if I can judge myself, with that fairness by which error is best combat-
ed. In all I have said, my view has been to dissipate those prejudices, and erroneous opinions, which I consider as likely to be productive of great evils. I do not flatter myself with much success in this attempt; but it will be some satisfaction to think, that I have endeavored to do good; and that I have failed in my endeavors, not through want of zeal; but because my plan was beyond my powers to execute.
I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. B.

FRENCH STATE PAPER.
REPORT OF THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Paris, September 1.
SIRE,
I have the honor to propose to your majesty to communicate to the senate the two treaties which have placed the crown of Spain in your hands, and the constitution which under your auspices, and enlightened by your advice, the junta assembled at Bayonne, after free and mature deliberation, have adopted for the glory of the Spanish name, and the prosperity of that kingdom and its colonies.
If in the arrangements made by your majesty, the security of France has been your principal care, the interests of Spain herself has, however, been dear, and in uniting the two states, by the most intimate alliance, the prosperity and the glory of both were equally the objects proposed. The troubles which have manifested themselves have particularly excited the solicitude of your majesty, in deprecating their progress, in foreseeing their sad consequences, in hoping to prevent them by persuasive means, and by measures of wisdom and humane policy. Your majesty interfered as a mediator in the midst of the divided Spaniards, shewing them on one side the anarchy which threatened them and on the other England ready to profit by their divisions, and to make use of them to suit her convenience, and pointing out to them the way by which they might be saved from this double danger, by a constitution even provident, proper to provide, all of which they stood in need, and in which liberal ideas intermixed themselves with these ancient institutions which Spain wished to be preserved.
The expectations of your majesty have been deceived. Individual interests, foreign intrigues, and the influences of foreign corruption have prevailed. Why is it so easy to lead nations to their ruin by letting loose their passions? In a former report, I have made your majesty acquainted with the influence which the English were acquiring in Spain, the numerous party that they had formed, the friends whom they acquired in the commercial towns, by holding out to them the prospect of the revival of their trade; I had pointed them out to you as authors of the sedition which overturned the throne of Charles IV, and the favorers of the popular disorders which arose at that epoch. They had burst through that salutary restraint which keeps the people in submission, by operating upon their interest. The populace of Spain having shaken off the yoke of authority aspired at governing,—English gold, the intrigues of the agents of the inquisition, who were afraid of losing their authority, the influence of the numerous tribe of Monks in Spain, who dreaded a reform, have in this critical moment occasioned the insurrection of several Spanish provinces, in which the voice of the more prudent class has been either mistaken or stifled, of whom not a few have fallen victims to their courageous opposition to popular tumult, and a dreadful anarchy has been seen to diffuse itself over the greatest part of Spain. Will your majesty permit England to say, "Spain is one of my provinces, my flag driven from the Baltic, the North Sea, the Levant, and even from the shores of Persia, rules in the ports of France?" No, never, sire! To prevent so much shame and misfortune, two millions of brave men, are ready to scale the Pyrenees, and the English will be chased from the Peninsula. If the French fight for the liberty of the seas, they must, to conquer, begin by wresting Spain from the influence of the tyrants of the ocean. If they combat for
peace, they cannot obtain it until they have chased from Spain the enemies of peace.
If your majesty, embracing the future as well as the present, aspires to the noble object of leaving after you your empire calm, tranquil and surrounded by powerful friends, you must begin by securing its influence in Spain.
Lastly, if honor is the first sentiment, as well as the first object of Frenchmen, your majesty must promptly inflict vengeance for the outrages committed against the French name, and the atrocities to which so great a number of our countrymen have fallen victims. Frenchmen established in Spain for more than twenty years, exercising in peace their useful industry, and almost regarding Spain as their country, have been massacred. Every where French property has been seized. The consular agents of your majesty have experienced a treatment which would not have been suffered even in the most barbarous countries. What consideration, what consideration, will the French name enjoy in Europe, if, in a country so near to us, atrocities so infamous and so public remain unpunished? Reparation ought to be had for them—but a reparation consonant to Frenchmen, by victory.
It is no small advantage the probability of at length meeting the English, of fighting them man for man, of making them also feel the evils of war—of a war, of the dangers of which they are ignorant, having only caused it by their gold. The English will be beaten, destroyed, dispersed, or at least they will make haste to fly, as they did at Toulon, at the Helder, at Dunkirk, in Sweden, and every where the French armies have been able to find them; but their expulsion from Spain will be the ruin of their cause. This last check will exhaust their means, annihilating at the same time their last hopes, and peace will become more probable. The wishes of all Europe will in this contest be with France. France and Russia make common cause against England. Denmark supports with honor a contest which she did not provoke. Sweden, betrayed and abandoned by the ally to whom an insane cabinet has sacrificed her, has already lost her most important provinces, and is hastening to that ruin which is the inevitable effect of alliance and friendship with England.
Such will be the fate of the insurgents in Spain. When the contest becomes serious the English will abandon Spain, after making them the sad bequest of a civil war—of a war for foreign interest, and for anarchy, the most cruel of scourges. It will be for the wisdom and beneficence of your majesty to repair the evils of which they will be the cause.
The court of Vienna has constantly testified to your majesty the most amicable intentions; indignant at the policy of England, she has recalled her minister from London, sent back the minister who was at Vienna, shut her ports against England, and placed herself in a state of hostility with that power. She has added to these measures an interdict in her ports against the admission of vessels, which, under a neutral flag are only the carriers of English produce and merchandise. Your majesty has cultivated this favorable disposition, has testified to the court of Vienna friendship and confidence; and has several times intimated to her, that France takes a real interest in her prosperity. Lately, however, this power has carried its armaments beyond measure—its military force is out of all proportion to its population and finances. Your ministers sire, only wish to mark this, in order that your majesty may perceive the necessity of augmenting your force, for the purpose of still preserving the relative superiority which exists between the power and the population of the two empires.
A new revolution has broken out at Constantinople. Sultan Mustapha has been deposed.
The Americans, a people who revolve their fortune, their prosperity, and almost their existence, in commerce, have given the example of a great and courageous sacrifice. They have inhibited by a general embargo, all commerce and all navigation, rather than shamefully submit to that tribute which the English impose on the navigation of all nations. Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Holland, are peaceable, and wait only for a maritime peace to exert all their industry.
That peace is the wish of the world but England opposes it; England is the enemy of the world. The French nation, all Europe knows the efforts made by your majesty to obtain peace; they know that your enterprises are the immediate result of the ill success of the attempts which you have made to obtain it.
The devotion of the French people is without bounds; and it is more especially under circumstances which are so essentially con-

with their honor and its security, that sentiments will be evinced, and that will shew themselves worthy of reaping the harvest of glory and honor, which your country has prepared for them. I am with respect, &c.
MESSAGE
of the emperor and king Napoleon to the Senate.
My minister for foreign affairs will lay before you the different treaties relative to Spain, and the constitutions agreed to by the Spanish Junta. My war minister will acquaint you with the wants and the situation of my armies in the different parts of the world.
I am determined to carry on the war with the utmost activity, and destroy the armies which England has disembarked on the continent. The future security of my country, the prosperity of commerce, and maritime peace, must alike depend on the important operations.
In alliance with the emperor of Russia, I cherish every hope which England can entertain from her projects. I have no doubt respecting the peace of the continent, but I neither will nor ought to rely on the false calculations and the errors of her courts, and since my neighbors increase their armies, it is a duty incumbent on me to increase mine.
The empire of Constantinople is struggling with the most violent convulsions:— Selim, the best emperor the Ottomans ever had for a length of time, has just fallen under the hands of his own nephew. This catastrophe has deeply affected me. I impose such sacrifices on my people confident of their support; they are necessary in order to secure them from heavier sacrifices, and lead them to the grand result of a general peace, which ought also to be received as a moment of repose.
Frenchmen, my projects have but one object in view, your happiness and the permanent well being of your children; and if I am in the wrong, you will hasten to comply with this new call, rendered necessary by the interests of the country. You have so often read me of your affection, I will behold sincerity of your sentiments in the alacrity with which you will second projects so intimately connected with your dearest interests, with the honor of the empire, and with my glory.
Given at the Imperial Palace of St. Cloud, this 4th of Sept. 1808.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29.
The government schooner Hope has arrived at New York. Letters have been received in town from London as late as the 24th of Sept.—they contain no news. Flour was 50 to 55 shillings. The New York papers by the mail this evening will probably furnish us with some intelligence.
VERMONT ELECTION.
The papers from Vermont, give us the official proceedings of the legislature of that state, with respect to its organization. By these it appears, that the hon. ISAAC TICHENOR, federal candidate, has been elected governor; PAUL BRIGHAM, esq., democratic candidate lieutenant governor; BENJAMIN SWAN, esq., treasurer; DUDLEY CHASE, esq., democratic candidate, speaker; THOMAS LEVERETT, esq., secretary of state; and MARTIN PORT, esq., democratic candidate, clerk of the house. The federal ticket for counsellors prevailed by a majority of 500 votes. In the house there is a small democratic majority. The Hanover Gazette in remarking on the election, has the following statement:
"Mr. Tichenor's majority over Mr. Smith, was 357 votes. WM. PAGE, esq., is appointed by his excellency, secretary to the governor and council. In our next we shall be able to give a statement of votes for members of congress, in that state. It has been matter of deep regret, that general Morris, and some other federal members were absent, at this important crisis. Had they been present, we have little doubt but there would have been a federal majority in the house. It is also unfortunate that four of the most powerful members of the house on the federal side were elected into the council.* Otherwise, it is presumed the joint ballot would have still stood in our favor. Nay, we hope it will yet. Contrast this election with that of last year, and we shall see an astonishing change of public sentiments in favor of Washington and republicanism."
[* The editor of the above mentioned paper should have informed the public, that in cases where members of the house are also elected to the council that warrants are immediately issued for new elections to fill these vacancies—and that they are generally filled up in the course of 3 or 10 days. This circumstance therefore, will give to the house the four federalists taken into the council before the time expires, within which the electors must be chosen.]

Extract of a letter from Natchitoches, dated August 22.
"You have heard no doubt of the French general D'Alvimar, who passed some two or three weeks ago, through Opelousas, on his way to Mexico. He has been stopped at Nacogdoches, in consequence of orders received by the commandant general Salcedo, and will be obliged to remain there until further orders. The French general took it in high dudgeon, and wrote to Salcedo in these terms—"Sir you may for a moment impede my progress in the country under your command, but you will not be able to prevent my going to Mexico." D'Alvimar told a friend in Nacogdoches, that he was going to take command of 12,000 troops at Camp Jalapa, near Vera Cruz.—There are seven or eight French generals on their way to that country. All the offices of government are now filled by Frenchmen, to counteract (as it is said) the plan heretofore laid by the late prince of peace. [Orleans Gazette.]
Extract of a letter from the Havanna, to a commercial house in New York, dated October 1.
"Yesterday about 4 o'clock came into port the Spanish 74 gun ship St. Just, from Cadiz. Gazettes, proclamations, private letters and passengers, all unite in giving the most favorable accounts of the success of the armed peasantry of Spain against the invincible legions of the great Napoleon—My friend Mr. M. has a letter from his correspondent at Cadiz which states as a fact that general Cuesta has under his command 125,000 troops on the confines of Biscay after all the battles that have been fought; and he is only one of 5 or 6 principal generals who are at the head of armies in the middle, and northern provinces of Spain. The letter also states that during the last 7 weeks prior to the last of August, the French lost 80,000 men in Spain, in killed and prisoners. In Cadiz there are thirteen French generals as prisoners of war, who are strongly guarded to save them from being sacrificed by the people. Other
letters say that after the bloody battles of Saragossa, a great number of Spanish women were found among the dead and dying Spaniards, disguised as men, holding in their hands swords, knives and other instruments of death, with they had aided their fathers, brothers and sons, in their struggles against their savage enemies. It was said that some of the French provinces had revolted and declared in favor of the Bourbons again.
"We are here all in such tumultuous joy [for we hardly see a Frenchman] that it is almost impossible to get a connected account from any of the Spaniards. All last night the people were parading the streets huzzahing and crying out long live Ferdinand.—The houses were all illuminated and the bells have not ceased their infernal clatter since yesterday at 5 o'clock."
We have read, with some attention, the remarks of Napoleon's editor in this city, to see under which of his famous predictions the late news from Europe would be brought. But instead of treating it as the verification of any one of his old prophecies, which we were taught to believe would embrace every political event that could occur, he has made it the foundation of a new one, which he expresses in these words.—[U. S. Gaz.]
"Neither France nor England have relaxed their rigorous decrees against neutral commerce—nor will they in the present season relax them; it is most certain, that France will absolutely exclude all ships from the ports under her dominion, or influence, but those in alliance with France; and the vessels of America will be absolutely excluded.
"In like manner, we make no doubt that the orders of the British cabinet will be rigorously carried into execution; and that every effort will be made to violate our laws; for immense cargoes are ship for Canada, Novascotia and Florida, to be smuggled into the U. S."
It is a good sign to find the French tone of the Aurora is a good deal lowered. He seems afraid any longer to persevere in telling us Americans that we have experienced from France nothing but "FRIENDSHIP AND LIBERALITY," and we no longer find threats of proscription and banishment held out against those who object to going to war with Great Britain, because Napoleon wishes it. A few weeks ago that print declared such an event to be certain, and advised us all to take side with the administration in season; and this was the argument urged.
"Every man in America will have to determine, whether he is to be considered as an enemy or as a friend—no neutrals is the order of the day abroad, it will be so at home before many weeks pass away."
A change has since taken place. The French party now discover that they had taken a position which they cannot hold and are endeavoring to abandon it with as good a grace as they can. They find that in the event of a French war, there will be an American party in the U. States, who will not quietly submit to the "chastening corrective of war, and the mitigating policy of Bonaparte."
