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

POETICAL DEPARTMENT.
From the Rhode-Island American.
One woman is fair; yet I am well; another is wise; yet I am well; another virtuous; yet I am well.
Shakespeare.
BENEATH what distant happy skies, In what deep shade, o, lonely cell, Remote from man's inquiring eyes. O, say, can lovely woman dwell.
For lur'd by tales which children love, And songs, which youth attentive heard: Her fairest web my fancy wove, And deck'd with flowers herself had rear'd.
Then did I hail the happy day, The day, the end of all my care, When I amid the throng should stray, And mark the loveliest of the fair.
And thus with secret boast exclaim, O, blest above my fellows I, Though love for thee my heart inflame, Thine burns sweet maid as true, as high.
O, morning dreams of amorous youth, Whither bright visions have ye flown? Ye vanish'd at the dawn of truth, And left my heart to sigh alone.
I saw the eye, I saw the form, Which to enrapture, need but move, I press'd the lip, so balmy warm, And lov'd, because I sought to love.
Again, I saw, but lov'd no more; At second view, their beauties pall; When seen, when touch'd, the charm is o'er, They're beautiful, and that is all.
Nor yet within the bosom fair, Do tenderest charities abide; For oft the Demon passions rear, The heart which throbs in beauty's side.
I saw the maid whose wither'd youth Had trac'd the long historic line, Who lov'd to delve the rock of truth, Or take the wings of verse divine.
The letter'd fair one hour alone I hear'd, of wonder and of pain, Of neuter kind, she spurn'd her own, And ap'd the other sex in vain.
I saw the fair who lov'd to rove The fairy Land of Romance o'er, Who wept by stream and shady grove, And passions felt, unfelt before.
These were her theme, and these her pride, Soft sentiment and feeling true, She turn'd from reason's hope and sigh'd For scenes which fancy's pencil drew.
Faint is the tear which only falls At legends of ideal woe; But that which starts when pity calls Is brighter than the diamond's glow.
I hate th' insidious tricks of art, Which wrings a tear from souls of steel, I seek the maid whose honest heart Has never studied how to feel.
I search'd the court, I search'd the wood, To find the LOVELY of the fair; Here savage nature coarse and rude, And art more savage triumph'd there.
Enough there are of beauteous mould, Enough there are of cultur'd mind, But from my eyes the fates withhold The LOVELY whom I toil to find.
From the ALBANY GAZETTE.
I KNOW that it is not usual to address ones own children through the medium of a public print, but I trust you will excuse an old man's feelings towards his offspring, and suffer him, in this manner to appeal to their understandings. It may be that other poor fathers are situated as I am; and if so, will, by inserting these lines, gratify more persons than myself.
I have two daughters, charming girls, as the world calls them (and indeed they are good girls) whom heaven has blessed with very excellent understandings, and I do all I can to improve them by education; and to do them justice I must add, that they profit by the instructions they receive, as far as regards erudition. Yet I am truly miser-
able as well as their mother, on their ac- count. Fashion is a tyrannical and a mur- derous goddess, and to this idol they bow down, the willing and the determined slaves. It happens now to be one of fashion's laws, that all females who aspire to be graceful should be not only perpendicular (for so I choose to call it) but also slender and thinly clad. We all know that the Medicean Ve- nus, the standard of female beauty as to form, was ever represented perfectly erect, nor deficient in the elegancies of a graceful contour in the several parts of her body. But we now see real gracefulness as nearly banished from female society, as the affect- ed movements of the dancing master and fa- shion can accomplish it. To be perpendi- cular—to endeavor to become slender—and put on as few clothes as possible—are now the objects aimed at; in despite of the laws of gracefulness, the dictates of reason, and of the injunctions of religion.
I will now proceed to acquaint you, Messrs Printers, with my distress, in regard to my two poor girls.
They are become so infatuated with this idol fashion, that they really debar them- selves from the necessary quantity of food, from an apprehension that they should be- come too lusty; to be fashionable, and to such a pitch of extravagance do they carry this self-denial, that I really apprehend a pre- mature old age will be the consequence. Alas! what do I say! A premature old age—No, indeed! Old age is not to be expected! The fiend fashion, hurls another dart, still more fatal. Dress is now with them a mere existence of nudity, and as it regards com- fort and health, is completely abandoned. Can you believe the instance I shall give you of the excess of this folly (for I hope the existence of such is not common) I late- ly discovered my girls shivering and shak- ing, and while cringing over a good fire, complaining of the coldness of the weather; with no other cloths on than their frocks and their shifts—Their fond and almost broken hearted mother, declared to me, that these infatuated idolaters of fashion, had not on them even a single petticoat, flannel or lin- en!
Now, Messrs. Printers, I assure you, that our parental advice, and injunctions, have been repeatedly given to these poor girls, and the folly and wickedness of such a practice, exhibited to them, but in vain; and I really expect that our grey hairs will descend to the grave with disconsolate feel- ings, from the loss of our two girls—our only children.
Do pray insert these lines in your paper, perhaps some abler pen, will follow up my remarks, and in forcible language, depict this truth—that the drunkard, the dissipated, the suicide and the follower of fashion, are all equally, self murderers, by ruining their health, bringing on premature old age, and eventually creating diseases, which hurl them to the grave, that would have no ex- istence, but for the neglect of their duties, and the worshipping of fashion.
I am yours respectfully,
A FATHER.

Let all those who were in the ranks of de- mocracy during Mr. Adam's administra- tion read the following—and retrieve their own characters, before they utter unsupported accusations against others— let them remove their own "beams," be- fore they quarrel with others about "motes."
Extract from a letter No. 13, written by the late president Adams, and published in the "Boston Patriot."
"Did Mr. Hamilton recollect the state of our presses? Recollect the names and popu- lar eloquence of the editors of the opposition papers? That scoffing, scorning wit, and that malignity of soul, which appeared so remarkably in all the writings of Thomas Paine and Callender, which to the disgrace of human nature, never fails to command attention and applause? The members of the Senate and the House, who are decided- ly against the administration, their continu- al intercourse and communications with es- missaries? The hideous clamor against the alien law and sedition law both considered as levelled entirely against the French and their friends, and the surrender according to the British treaty of the Irish murderer Nash, imposed on the public as Jonathan Robins? DID HE RECOLLECT THE INSUR- RECTION IN PENNSYLVANIA. The univer- sal and perpetual inflammatory publications against the land tax, stamp tax, coach tax, excise law, and eight per cent loan: Did he never see nor hear of the circular letters of members of congress from the middle and southern states? Did he know nothing of the biting sarcasm, the burning rage, a- gainst himself and his own army? Did he
know nothing of a kind of journal that was published of every irregular act of any of- ficer or soldier, of every military punish- ment that was inflicted, under the appella- tion of the Cannibal's Progress ? Did he see nothing of the French cockades ostenta- tiously exhibited against the American cock- ades?"
"Had a French minister been seen here with his suite he would have been instantly informed of every source and symptoms of discontent. Almost every Frenchman upon the continent, and they were then numerous in all the states, would have been employed in criminating the American government, in applauding the condescension of the French directory, and the friendly, conciliating dis- position of the French nation. Nothing could have been kept secret; the popular clamor for peace, on any terms would have been very difficult, if not impos- sible to resist—The multitude in Philadel- phia, as it was, were almost as ripe to pull me out of my house, as they had been to de- throne Washington in the time of Genet.— Even the night of the last day the streets were crowded with multitudinous assem- blages of people, especially that before my door, and kept in order only, as many people tho't by a military patrol, ordered, I believe, by the gov. of Pennsylvania."
"After enumerating all the symptoms of the popular bias, it would be frivolous to enlarge upon the conversations of which I was informed, at taverns and insurance of- fices, threatening violence to the president, by pulling him out of his chair, upon the French cockades that were every where pa- raded before my eyes, in opposition to the black cockade, or upon the declarations and oaths, which I know were made by no small numbers, that if we went to war with France AND THE FRENCH SHOULD COME HERE, THEY WOULD JOIN THEM AGAINST THE FE- DERALISTS AND THE ENGLISH."
From the Freeman's Journal.
MILITARY ESSAY.
The following article, from a London paper, contains matter of much interest to our own countrymen. Indeed it is evident to all men of sense, that the idea of becom- ing a great military character by reading books of geographers, and poring over maps of distant regions, is one of the most ridi- culous of which human nature can become the dupe.
THE COMMAND OF ARMIES.
"As the erroneous ideas that prevail on some important national concerns often occasion the measures of government to be blamed by persons otherwise very much disposed to justify them, we think a good effect may be produced by the pub- lication of what follows:
"No just comparison can be made be- twixt the art of directing the operations of armies, and any of those arts or kinds of business in which the same circumstances are continually repeated. War is not to be carried on in the same manner in one coun- try as in another. The operations of small armies are not to be imitated in those of great ones. If they were the most fatal consequences might ensue. The disposi- tions and motions of armies in a field of bat- tle depend greatly on the nature of ground, so that nothing can be more diversified.— For those, and many other reasons that could be given, generalship is entirely an exercise of the understanding. Had it been acquired in the same manner with a mechan- ic art, the long wars carried on by Louis XIV. must have produced some able com- manders; yet eight of those to whom that monarch entrusted the command of armies, and who had risen gradually to the high rank of maréchal de France, committed such errors as brought their country to the brink of ruin,* whereas Conde, Turenne, and Luxembourg, whose genius enabled them to form a perfect idea of military op- erations before they had seen them, com- manded armies with the same success from the beginning that they ever did afterwards. Prince Eugene, of Savoy, was generalissi- mo of the Austrian armies from the be- ginning of the last century to the year 1736; a period of almost continued wars, in which, if the military science could be acquired in the manner that many imagine, it might nat- urally be supposed, that under such a com- mander, some able generals must have been produced in those armies. But the first war undertaken by the great Frederic, be- gan a few years after the death of the prince Eugene, and the Prussian monarch lessens the merit of his own continual victories in that war, by acknowledging a want of abili-
NOTE.
* Those generals were Bellefond, Hu- mieres, Vivonne, Rochefort, Sourdis, Manin, Tallard, and Villeroi.
ty in all the Austrian generals. It is well known that the present conqueror of a great part of Europe, made his first essay in the command of armies, by defeating in Italy the experienced generals of the same pow- er.
"Besides the great diversity of circum- stances in military operations there is ano- ther reason for this, which those who think that the art of war may be acquired like a matter of practice, are not aware of. Let any one compare an exact plan of the extent of a few miles in a part of the country little known to him, with the appearance which the same objects present to his sight, he will perceive how different that appearance is from the reality of the proportional extent of all the parts delineated in the plan, and how much he would be mistaken in judging of the extent of distant parts of the ground. Then supposing two armies to be extended over the same part of the country, he could still less form any idea of the motions of troops in those distant parts, even before clouds of dust and smoke concealed those objects from him. This would be the case if he were only a spectator entirely master of his own time, and not an officer whose at- tention must be taken up with his duty. It is therefore imagined only by persons who have no idea of the operations of armies, that officers can judge of those operations from what they themselves see. They learn what passed in an engagement after it is over, by the reports of those who com- manded the different divisions of the army, examined on an exact plan of the ground, in which the dispositions of both armies, and the changes of disposition, are delineat- ed; they may improve the knowledge thus acquired by traversing the ground itself in all directions, but cannot view the whole at once as in a plan, unless from the top of some neighboring mountain, without anoth- er hill or mountain to intercept the view. Officers may in the same manner acquire a perfect knowledge of all the wars that have been waged since the revival of the military science, at least of all those whereof exact relations, with plans and descriptions of the fields of battle, have been given by intelli- gent military men.
"But as one cannot be said to have stu- died mathematics, although he has read all the demonstrations that are to be found in the works of the greatest mathematicians, unless he has convinced himself by the ex- ercise of his own reason of the truth of those demonstrations, so neither can a military man be said to have studied the art of war although he has read the accounts of all the campaigns from which any instruction can be derived, and the maxims and observations, which the greatest generals have left, unless he has, by the exercise of his own reason, discovered whether or not the causes assign- ed by those generals for the good or bad success of campaigns, or for the victory or the defeat in engagements, evidently the real causes, and whether or not these max- ims and observations were unquestionably just and true. By blindly following an ex- ample without a perfect comprehension of it, egregious errors might be committed. If all this were considered by those who are apt to hazard opinions on the appointment of military commanders, they would be sen- sible of the necessity of being well informed of the mental powers of the persons so ap- pointed; and whether or not, having been bred in the army, they have exercised those mental powers in meditations on those ab- struse and most essential parts of the art of war, which remain always unknown to the far greater number of officers of all armies."
† These whom his Prussian majesty names as candidates for the command against him are, Coengseck, Willis, Seckendorf, Neupert, Schmettau, Klovenhullen, and the prince of Saxe Hiberhausen.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.
The Schooner Rising Sun, Captain B. Holbrook, from Boston to Oporto, was up- set on the 27th August, in lat. 43, long. 33, all the people washed from the deck, excepting the captain; four succeeded in regaining the wreck, two were drowned, and one perished on board—they remained on the wreck four days, when they were taken off by an English ship from Jamaica to London, and had arrived at Spithead.

E. and ether so thick that they could not stand in consequence of which they tacked to the southward and eastward, continuing very thick with a strong current setting to southward, so that they made 30 miles in 24 hours, with 2 reefs he topsails, and in 4 or 5 days they got as far as lat. 35. 25. notwithstanding all the that they could carry.
November 11. Yesterday arrived, ship Fame, Dunlevey, from London, 30 days from the Downs, he favored us with his latest papers, but their dates have been anticipated, as well as the copious list of vessels at London with which he has furnished us. On his passage, Oct. 7, lat. 48, 16, long. 11 31, he spoke ship Intrepid, of Norfolk, 17 days from London and 8 from Spithead, for Norfolk. Oct. 21, lat. 44, 45, long. 37, 50, the ship Augustus, Ezra Town, 16 days from Liverpool to Baltimore.

Next day, spoke ship perseverance, J. Smith, 13 days from Boston for Gottemburg, said he had had extreme bad weather in the Gulph Stream, which obliged him to lay too for 5 or 6 days, and on the 8th of Nov. at 10 A. M. passed a black sided eastern looking brig, which had just run ashore on little Egg-Harbor reef, where he supposes she will be lost. Same day, brig Juliet, Kennedy, 18 days from Porto Rico.

No other American vessels in port. All kind of American produce very low—no sale for any one article, scarcely at first cost. The produce of the island very scarce and high; new crop of coffee not yet at market. On the night of the 21st Oct. was brought to by a British sloop of war; asked a few questions, and with politeness dismissed.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 4. Arrived, ship Ganges (of Boston) Manon, Havanna, 11 days. Left at Havanna, the brig Minerva, Spencer, from this port, who had been suffered to go in to refit, having carried away her rudder, while at anchor off the Moro, but she had not been permitted to an entry; the ship Pierce Manning, capt. Pratt, from this port, was still at anchor off the harbor. Captain Pratt was on shore trying to get permission to enter his vessel; in case of a refusal it was his intention to return to this port. The pilot-boat schooner R. J. Hilliard, from this port, arrived at Havanna the day before the Ganges sailed, in 6 days passage. Also left at Havanna, brig Traveller, Gorham, of Boston, to sail in a few days; brig Retrieve, Jordan, of Portland, taking in cargo, time of sailing uncertain; brig Traveller, Perret, of Portland, do.; ship Mary, of Newburyport, bound to New-Orleans, ready for sea; brig Industry, of Newburyport, time of sailing uncertain; several other American vessels, names not recollected, were left at Havanna. From fifteen to twenty vessels, which had arrived since the port was shut, were still lying at anchor off the Moro. Two Spanish 74 gun ships; and the British frigates Undaunted, capt. Moling, of 50 guns, and Ethalion, of 38 guns, capt. Cochrane, (son of admiral Cochrane) sailed from Havanna for Cadiz 7 days before the Ganges; having on board 14 millions of dollars. The Recruit brig, captain Murray, and the Wolverine, captain Kerr, sailed direct for England two days previous to the sailing of the frigates; having on board three millions of dollars.

Alexandria Daily Gazette. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14. The Vice-Consul of his Catholic Majesty Ferdinand the VII. resident in this port, is authorised to inform the merchants of this town and district, that by a Royal Order of his majesty, dated the 10th of July, ultimo, no foreign vessels will be admitted in any ports of the Island of Cuba after the 27th of September, 1809.
By what we can learn from Washington we are satisfied that notwithstanding the cry of the papers in the pay of France, the President of the United States has no idea of a war with England. It is true the President does not wish for a rupture with France; and what man of any feeling wishes for war, if it can be avoided? Mr. Madison however, will not sacrifice his country to the views of Bonaparte. He will not make war on England to please Col. Duane, or Mr. Irvine. What Congress will do, we pretend not to predict. But we think we may venture to state that they will not declare war, either against England or France. They may lay embargoes or pass non intercourse laws, but war is out of the question. We are in no situation to wage it if we had the will,
In the course of the correspondence, which, it seems, has taken place between the secretary of state and Mr. Jackson, we understand, that Mr. Jackson had stated that the despatch from Mr. Canning to Mr. Erskine of the twenty-third January was the only despatch by which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine for the conclusion of an arrangement with this country on the matter to which it related—that Mr. Smith in his reply had assured Mr. Jackson that no such declaration had ever before been made to the government, and added, that if that despatch had been communicated at the time of the arrangement, or if it had been known that the propositions contained in it were the only ones on which he was authorised to make an arrangement, the arrangement would not have been made—that, notwithstanding this assurance, Mr. Jackson in his next letter, indecorously used a language implying that Mr. Erskine's instructions were at the time MADE KNOWN TO THIS GOVERNMENT:—That, in Mr. Smith's answer an intimation was distinctly given to him that such an insinuation was inadmissible, and especially after the explicit asseveration of this government that they had no such knowledge, and that with such knowledge such an arrangement would not have been made,—that in Mr. Jackson's next letter the same gross insinuation having been reiterated, and even aggravated, it only remained, in order to preclude opportunities, which had been thus abused, to inform Mr. Jackson, as Mr. Smith did, that no further communications would be received from him, and that the necessity of this determination would without delay be made known to his government, with an assurance to it, at the same time, that a ready attention would be given to any communications affecting the interests of the two nations through any other functionary that may be substituted.
