Attention to Fortune Hunters; And Possession will be given immediately—any day.
I WISH to sell, the unexpired lease of 8 years, from the 10th day of December next, in the elegant and commodious HOTEL I now occupy in Alexandria. This establishment is justly celebrated as affording the best accommodations on the continent, and to a man of attention and abilities in the line of his profession, cannot fail to yield a handsome fortune. The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove, that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States.
Attached to the tavern, is a well conducted coffee house, supported by a respectable subscription.
Together with an insurance office. There are at present twenty four yearly boarders of the first respectability, in the hotel.
The whole house is elegantly furnished, and to a person who takes the lease, the greater part of the furniture will be sold on the most reasonable terms.

From the "Bard of Erin."
THE EXILE OF ERIN'S RETURN TO HIS NATIVE COUNTRY.
O'er the hills of Slieve-Galen, as homeward he wander'd, The exile of Erin oft paus'd with delight; To dear recollections his soul he surrender'd As each well known object return'd to his sight:
Here was the brook, oft he leap'd so light-hearted, Here was the bower, where with love first he smarted, And here was the old oak, where when he departed, He carv'd his last farewell, 'twas— Erin go bragh.
His heart, wild was beating—when softly as sail'd him, The sound of a harp—oh he listen'd with joy, What quickening emotions! his visage revealed them, And the fire of his country beam'd strong from his eye:
A sweet female voice, soon the lov'd strains attended, 'Twas dear to his fond soul, that o'er it suspended, With each note the spirits of feeling ascend-ed, Sung soft to the accents of— Erin go bragh.
"I once had a lover," thus ran the sweet numbers, "Now doom'd far from me and his country to mourn, Perhaps in the cold bed of death, e'en he slumbers, Ah, my soul! canst thou think he shall never return;
"Yes, he shall, for he lives, and his past woes redressing, His country shall hail him with smiles and caressing, And lock'd in my arms, he'll pronounce her his blessing, That country which wrong'd him, his— Erin go bragh."
"As a lamb he was meek, as a dove he was tender, And form'd was his bosom, of friendship and love, But call'd by his country, still swift to defend her, Undaunted and fierce as the eagle he'd move.
"That ardor of passion, for me, which he pleaded, By what female breast could it have been unheeded? The love of his country alone could exceed it: For still his first wish was for— Erin go bragh."
From the Federal Republican.
THE contest between the parties of this state has at length terminated. The result is alike dishonorable to Maryland, and unexpected to the advocates of correct principles. Within our memory, at no period there has been so animated, arduous and interesting a struggle. It is almost unparalleled in the annals of political warfare, and to our great grief and mortification, we perceive, that we cannot fight upon equal grounds with our opponents, without descending to those vile and disreputable arts which are resorted to by the democratic faction. On the part of federal republicanism it was a contest against disorder, fraud and
corruption; on that of democracy it was a faction fighting for existence. Well did our opponents know that if they were defeated in this election, their power was at an end. That they would no longer hold the reins of government, and by an immense executive patronage convert to their use a larger share of popular favor, than would fall to their lot, if no longer entitled to the gift of public offices. Motives strong as these, and a fear of sinking into contempt and insignificance prompted our opponents to the extraordinary exertions which have been witnessed. In them originated the false and infamous charge of an attempt in the federal party to have an established church and compelling all religious sects to pay taxes towards its support. In some parts of Maryland, where the soil is friendly to the growth of vice and falsehood, the people were suddenly worked up to a state of phrensy, of convulsive political madness at the idea of their religious rights being sacrificed. They fancied their government upon the very eve of subversion, and that their necks had been bent to receive the yoke of kingly power. They were made to believe that the contest was not between this man or that man, or whether general Smith was an honest or a dishonest public servant; but the true object of dispute was whether we should have a king amongst us, and whether religious freedom should be destroyed by every man's paying a tax towards the support of the protestant Episcopal church. By artifices and wicked fabrications such as these, the attention of the people, it would seem, has been effectually diverted from all other matters of enquiry. Driven to fury by these unfounded fears, they were incapable of sober reflection, and could not coolly and dispassionately examine matters, which they will be yet brought to believe of infinitely greater weight and moment than their idle suspicions about church supremacy. When the enquiry into gen. Smith's transactions with the United States is brought on in congress, and the people find that the public treasury has been plundered, and they robbed of their money; when they discover that they are involved in danger of annihilation; when they are pressed to the earth by heavy taxes, or a ruinous loan to assist in the wars of the French tyrant; when they see before them the yawning gulph in which the liberties and happiness of Europe have been entombed, like the wicked and hardened sinner they will repent when it is too late. They will reproach themselves for their folly and credulity, they will curse their cruel fate, but reformation prayers and entreaties will no longer avail them—there will be "weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Our hopes of working a more complete and salutary reformation in Maryland are still undiminished. Even yet, maugre all the base and wicked schemes employed against us, Maryland is nearly balanced. Take away the little dirty, rotten, borough of Annapolis, which contrary to all precedent and right is still permitted to have two representatives, and the parties would be equal in the lower house. So far we have maintained our ground in spite of democratic misrepresentations and profligate calumnies; unaided too as we were told last year by embargoes, gun-taxes and local disputes.
Cecil, Kent, and Talbot, and half of Caroline were against us last year, and as far as we have been advised are against us this year. But their majorities prove that they more than lean towards federal republicanism. They ought to be gained and must be gained next year; and to use the language of a depraved and profligate politician we pledge ourselves to revolutionize them before next October. True we shall again be compelled to encounter all the power and influence of the executive government of the United States, and of Maryland. The chancellor and attorney general of Maryland, the council, judges, constables and magistrates, the latter of whom are made twenty times more numerous than necessary for the express purpose of aiding in elections, all the combined influence and exertions of this powerful phalanx of retained placemen, and treasury cormorants, we have been obliged to encounter. They have been encountered in a fair and honorable manner, although means directly opposite were used against us, and have proved successful. But notwithstanding all this, federal republicanism is still strong and flourishing in Maryland. Out of nineteen counties we believe the democrats have been unable to make any impression upon nine of them, although three of that nine were decidedly against us the year before last. This circumstance is highly flattering, and when gen. Smith, his money and his falsehoods are no longer actively employed against us we shall most assuredly gain ground. For ourselves we shall continue obstinately to dispute every inch of ground with a party
that will certainly ruin the country if they put down; others may decide for themselves. They may turn democrats if they please, and worship the calf, but their condition will not be very enviable.

VIA NEW-YORK.
LONDON, August 12.
The public accounts mention, that James Saumarez, with the squadron under his orders, had appeared off Cronstadt, and that an embargo was therefore imposed on all the Russian ports of the Baltic.
The duke of Brunswick Oels, with 2000 of his followers, have made good their retreat to the banks of the Weser, from whence they have been brought off, together with their gallant leader, by the squadron under lord G. Steuart.
Arthur O'Connor, it is reported, has a command in Flushing.
Lord and lady Holland and lord John Russel, arrived at Portsmouth on Thursday, in the Lively frigate, of 38 guns, capt. McKinley, from their visit to Spain; and on Friday set out for Holland house, near London, where they arrived on Saturday.
Yesterday a Gottenburg mail arrived. Its contents are not important. The fact of an armistice having been concluded between the Swedes and Norwegians, is the only one which comes authenticated by this conveyance. It was to last till the 3d inst. by which time the Danes were to have evacuated Sweden.
The Ox, Deal boat, brought the following particulars:
"Flushing had been found so strong, as to require to be approached on the land side in a regular manner, and our troops were actively employed in constructing the various batteries, which, when completed, would mount upwards of 100 pieces of heavy ordnance, and it was expected would not be ready to open on the works of the town till Friday night, preparatory to which floating batteries had been sent round by the Straits to be in readiness to co-operate in attacking by sea at the same moment; some days will therefore probably elapse before the intelligence of its fall reaches us.
"In the mean time the enemy are extremely active, and make daily skirmishes with our troops." They are said to have obtained reinforcements of men from the opposite coast of Cad sand, it not being possible for our shipping, on account of the batteries, to be sufficiently close in with town to prevent it: some boats which approached to reconnoitre have been literally beat to pieces by the enemy's shot.
SEVILLE, Aug. 17.
The Tarragona report of the 7th, states 600 men to have entered Gerona, a reinforcement most acceptable to that garrison. The prodigies of valor and patriotism which it is performing, would obtain no credit, if the Spanish revolution had not already afforded many instances of the kind. Whenever the enemy assail it, which is often the case, they are obliged to retire with great loss.

NEW ORLEANS.
Extract of a letter of recent date, from New Orleans, to the Editors of the Freeman's Journal.
I sit down to comply with my promise, of giving you a few anecdotes of some of our great men. Our governor, or as he styles himself, "the common father of the Louisianians," claims the first attention. This singular honest and intelligent officer, continues to watch, with a vigilant eye, the interests of this country. In consequence of the disturbances in the island of Cuba, the French inhabitants have been compelled to leave the island. Those who reside in St. Jago, have principally come to this place; they are composed of a varied description of character, about equally divided between whites, mulattoes, and negroes. The whites have among them about a dozen respectable families; the remainder are privateersmen, generally, with mulatto mistresses. Many pirates have been recognised among them, but I presume they are out of the reach of the law, for will is law in this country, and our common father is too much of a friend to the French; better is it for the honest American to suffer. The mulattoes are the refuse of St. Domingo. The unfortunate refugees from that ill-fated island, now recognised in our streets, the blood-thirsty miscreants, whose hands are yet red with the blood of their families. The negroes are such as you generally find in the West-Indies. This motley collection has reached New-Orleans, and our common father has permitted them all to land, regardless of the law of the United States, prohibiting the importation of slaves, and the statute law of this territory, forbidding the landing of free negroes or people of color. Some of these people have friends; some have not. Most of them pay constant devotion to the gaming tables, and as soon as their little substance is gone, the poor inhabitants will feel the consequence of this wise measure of our common father .
"Do you doubt that C. is a friend to his country? Take this anecdote: He got the American system of jurisprudence abolished to establish on its ruins the most odious features of the old Spanish system. In his appointment of judges to his new courts, he generally selected the most profligate characters. Amongst others was a P. D. who had been engaged in the massacres of the white inhabitants of St. Domingo. C. knew this man's character before he gave him the appointment—he further procured him a licence to practice law in the superior court; a few days ago, Mr. Derbigny read in the superior court an affidavit stating his character, and the crimes that he had perpetrated, and moved that he show cause on the 2d Monday in July, why his name should not be erased from the list of attorneys. The rule was granted. This case promises matter, not for speculation, but curious enquiry. It will become the duty of congress to examine into the conduct of our common father , and see if he has been our faithful guardian.
"A prosecution has been recently commenced by Thierry, editor of the Courier de Louisiane , against Bradford and Anderson, editors of the Orleans Gazette , for an alleged libel. I do not wish to forestall public opinion, or I would give you the history of the origin of this prosecution. It will however serve to elucidate many parts of C's ministry. A correct report of the trial will be published.
"General Wilkinson makes but a poor figure here—he is daily sinking in public estimation, and will, before another year rolls around, be as contemptible as ever was Burr or Arnold. To use his own expression, gen. Adair "has put him out of the ranks of honor." All the officers of merit are resigning, and indeed they think themselves disgraced by being under his command. You will find sufficient notice of him in the prints of the day.
"I regret to say that there is a faction here devoted to the views of the French government. At the head of this faction is _____, member of the general assembly. He came here with the French prefect, and has never been naturalized. You cannot have forgotten his publications in 1804, claiming the protection of the French government, in consequence of a seizure made at the custom-house. The introduction of the St. Jago cut-throats—the growing weight of the French faction—the incapacity of our common father —all these circumstances combine to render it indispensable that our military establishment should be considerable, and the commander in chief, "not only chaste, but unsuspected."
NEW-YORK, October 4.
Late last night, the Spanish frigate Cornelie, capt. don Joseph Rodriguez de Arias, arrived at the quarantine ground. She sailed from Cadiz on the 20th of August. This vessel has brought out his excellency don Lewis de Onis, minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary from his Catholic Majesty Ferdinand the 7th, to the U. S. of America. Also don Bartholemew Rengenet, consul from H. C. M. for Philadelphia, their ladies, daughters and domestics, and Mr. Richard Bailey of this city.
On the 29th ult. the frigate spoke the ship Ariadne, Wyberg, 27 days from Liverpool for Charleston— informed that the English had got possession of all the islands on the coast of Holland.
We also learn that after the battle of Talavera, the French army attacked gen. Venegas in Aranjuez, and were driven back with considerable loss, after 3 hard fought battles. Venegas afterwards returned towards the Sierra Morena, principally for want of provisions, the French having destroyed everything. The French garrison of Madrid had gone into the Retiro, with their adherents, the people having risen up against them, and gone out to meet Venegas in his advance.
Office of the New-York Evening Post. SPANISH AFFAIRS.
Late, interesting, and highly encouraging news comes by this arrival respecting the affairs of Spain, and from a gentleman passenger we are enabled to give the following particulars.
After the battle of Talavera the British and Spanish armies were only prevented from pursuing their victory and following the French in their retreat by the want of provisions and forage, the French having burnt and destroyed the harvests. The same circumstance induced the combined armies to fall back a short distance on the Tagus. On their way thither they heard of marshal Soult with a detachment of 20,000 men, which had been sent back upon the rear of the English for the purpose of cutting them to pieces on their retreat to Lisbon, which the French had so assuredly calculated upon. But the battle of Talavera turning out rather contrary to their expectations, the marshal returned by the road he came; his army being without artillery or even necessities.
During the battle of Talavera, a Spanish regiment which was not in the engagement left the ground in a panic, and reported in Talavera that all was lost, in consequence of which the intendant of the army ordered all the provisions to fall back to the Tagus, by means of which hasty measure, the army which had been engaged for nearly 2 days, found itself without provisions for nearly 48 hours. For this misconduct, the brigadier who commanded the regiment was executed on the spot, and orders given to put to death every third officer and every tenth man of the soldiers. Part of the executions took place, but a stop was put to them by the humane interposition of sir Arthur Wellesley.
In consequence of the above order to remove all the provisions, the combined armies found it necessary to fall back to the Tagus.
On sir A. Wellesley's retiring, he sent a flag of truce to the French, informing them that the great heat of the climate prevented his taking his wounded with him, and requesting that he might have permission to send his surgeons to attend them; which was granted.
After the battle of Talavera, Venegas having advanced within sight of Madrid, received information from Cuesta, that the French were concentrating towards Toledo, and fell back as far as Aranjuez. In this position he was attacked three several times by the French; but he repulsed them every time with great slaughter. After this he fell back to Sierra Morena, principally for want of provisions.
Madrid had been abandoned by the French, king Joseph had retired with 6000 men to Somma Sierra, a strong pass situated on the road from Madrid to France, supposed to be for the purpose of securing a
retreat, as Beresford with a combined army of Portuguese, Spanish and English, Romana with the army of Gallacia and Asturias, and the duke of Parque were coming down upon Madrid, with, as was said, 80,000 men.
The duke of Parque had already taken Salamanca from the French, and Romana was in Valladolid by the last accounts.
The mountaineers of Navarre, Arragon and Catalonia, had made incursions into France, levying contributions and destroying villages. To check their progress and defend their own territory, it had been found necessary to detach 15,000 French troops from the army of Navarre, by the road of Irun.
The inhabitants of Reneal, notwithstanding the threats of the ex- duke of Mahon, vice-roy of Navarre, under Bonaparte, had laid seige to Jaca; their commander had sent back to the vice-roy his proclamation, accompanied with an excellent answer, inviting him to meet them in the field.
As to Blake's late defeat, which has been attributed to the cowardice of the Spanish soldiers it is now ascertained to have been produced by the intrigue of the captain general of Valencia, who was jealous of Blake, and caused the retreat of the army in hopes it would afterwards be committed to him. The people of Valencia had killed numbers of the runaways who had presented themselves at the gates of the city and demanded entrance.
To conclude: It is confidently asserted, that the affairs of Spain never wore so good an aspect since this revolution. More men offer their services to defend their liberties than can be armed. The inhabitants of the country were so exasperated against their invaders that they omitted no opportunity to put every Frenchman to death, whenever they could do so. On the approach of the French armies, it was customary to abandon their villages and flee to the mountains from whence they constantly harassed them; and more of the French fell by this mode of warfare than in regular battle.
The different French armies in Spain are now supposed to amount to about 90,000 men, and it has been calculated that nearly 200,000 who entered the country have perished, in various ways or are prisoners of war.
A few days before the Cornelie sailed, the San Fulgencia, a 74, had arrived at Cadiz, with nearly eight millions of dollars from Lima, and a frigate that sailed in company with further supplies, had stopped at the river La Plata, and was daily expected at Cadiz. Part of the Spanish fleet at Cadiz had gone around to Ferrol to bring back the fleet that lay there, and had been recovered by the Galicians from the French to whom it had formerly been treacherously delivered.
The marquis of Wellesley, ambassador from England, had been received with the greatest enthusiasm. Numbers of the women went out to meet him, tho' the weather was excessively hot, and the people unharnessed his horses, and drew his carriage themselves for near a league, amidst the acclamations of thousands; a circumstance which had never occurred in any part of Spain before, not even upon the entrance of a king. The marquis has assisted at several meetings of the junta, and had inspired new life in the heart of the Spanish patriots.
The army of reserve, consisting of about 12,000 good troops, had marched from Seville, Cadiz, &c. to join the combined armies on the Tagus.
Blake was by the last accounts, collecting an army and stores in Tortosa, to march into Arragon, to assist the people who had risen en masse against the French, and had confined them to the environs of Saragossa which they had fortified.
Marshal Angereau whom Bonaparte had sent to command the troops in Catalonia, was in Perpignan, said to have feigned sickness and had issued a proclamation to the Catalonians making them fine French promises in the name of his emperor, if they would submit, which had been treated only with ridicule and content.

JUST RECEIVED, For sale ONLY by JAMES KENNEDY, sen. King street, The following highly valuable Medicines, Price 3 dollars per bottle.  Dr. Jebb's Nature's Restorative A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial so justly celebrated throughout Great-Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the curing all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living long continued residence in warm climates intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age. In removing pulmonary affections, asthma and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes. In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many tested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacy must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings. This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.  ALSO,  Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lapse remark however is too often forgotten whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above. March 11.
