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 VILLAGE SCHOOLMASTER.
The following portrait of a Schoolmaster, is drawn from real life, by the author of American Ornithology, in "The Forrester's—A Poem. Descriptive of a pedestrian journey to the Falls of Niagara, in 1803."
Of all professions that this world has known, From clowns and cobblers upwards to the throne: From the grave architect of Greece & Rome, Down to the framer of a farthing broom, The worst for care and undeserv'd abuse, The first in real dignity and use, (If skill'd to teach, and diligent to rule) Is the learn'd master of a little school. Not he who guides the legs, or skills the clown To square his fists & knock his fellow down: Not he who shows the still more barbarous art To parry thrusts and pierce the unguarded heart; But that good man, who faithful to his charge Still toils the opening reason to enlarge; And leads the growing mind, through every stage, From humble A, B, C, to God's own page; From black, rough hickocks, horrid to the sight, To fairest lines that float o'er purest white; From NUMERATION, thro' an opening way, Till dark ANNITIES seem clear as day; Pours o'er the mind a flood of mental light, Expands its wings and gives its powers for flight, Till earth's remotest bounds, and Heaven's bright train He trace, weigh, measure, picture & explain.
If such his toils, sure honor and regard And wealth and fame will be his dear reward; Sure every tongue will utter forth his praise, And blessings gild the evening of his days! Yes!—blest indeed, by cold ungrateful scorn, With lady pale, by daily crosses worn, Bespik'd by those w.l.o to his labors owe All that they read and almost all they know; Condemn'd each tedious day, such cares to bear As well might drive e'en Patience to despair. The partial parent's taunt—the idler dull— The blockhead's dark, impenetrable scull— The endless round of A, B, C's whole train, Repeated o'er ten thousand times in vain. Plac'd on a point the object of each sneer, His faults enlarge, his merits disappear, If mild—"Our lazy master loves his ease, The boys at school do any thing they please." If rigid—"He's a cross hard hearted wretch, He gives the children stupid with his birch." "My child, with gentle means, will mind a breath," "But frowns and floggings frighten him to death" Do as he will, his conduct is arraign'd, And dear the little that he gets is gain'd. Ev'n that is given him, on the quarter day, With looks that call it—money thrown away. Just heav'n! who knows the unremitting care And deep solicitude that teachers share, If such their lot, by thy divine control, To give them health and fortitude of soul? Souls that disdain the murderous tongue of fame, And strength, to make the studiest of them tame; Grant this, ye powers! to Dominies dis- tress, Their sharp-tail'd hickories will do the rest.
From the CONNECTICUT MIRROR.
Whenever the Austrians, or the forces of any other nation, are drawn up in array against the French, and there is the least probability that a battle may prove unfavorable to the latter, the party devoted to French aggrandizement in this country, immediately become vastly humane, and philanthropic, and moan bitterly at the prospect of so much blood's being shed, and so many miserable victims being sacrificed in an unprofitable contest. But, let a French bulletin reach our shores, containing an account of 40, or 50, or even 100,000 men having fallen, and the emperor Napoleon successful, and the tone of humanity is changed to the tone of exultation. Without taking up time to enumerate the nations that have fallen under French tyranny, within a few years, or the grounds of quarrel by which their destruction has been accomplished, let
us attend for a minute to the present most bloody campaign in Austria, and enquire, by what right, on what ground, is that nation doomed to meet its fate? Whence has originated the pretext for the bloody conflict now carrying on betwixt Bonaparte and the Austrian power? Has the emperor of Germany marched his troops into France, or attempted to interfere in the affairs of the great nation? How comes it to pass, that the French are in and about Vienna, the capital of Germany, instead of being at Paris, the capital of their own nation? The answer to these enquiries will not easily be made. And yet, the loss of such immense multitudes of men, as have been destroyed in the two great battles on the Danube, the present season, coupled with the extension of French dominion, and French influence, produces, and will continue to produce the liveliest satisfaction in the hearts of our pretended patriots. The absurdity into which these people fall, in pretending to be friends to free and just government, and in the same breath, rejoice in the establishment of the most dreadful despotism, appears to give them no uneasiness. They yearn with the same tenderness of affection over imperial France, as they would, or could, over France, if she had a government ever so benign and free.
Will it be said, that Austria refused to shut all her ports against Great Britain, and therefore war was proclaimed against her? According to this doctrine, war must be the portion of any nation, that will not yield implicit obedience to the will of Bonaparte. By what authority does Bonaparte claim of the nations of Europe, that they shall shut their ports against Great Britain? If Austria should prefer keeping her ports open, it would seem as if no other nation had a right to control her. The fact probably is, that she had been forced, much against her will as well as against her interest, to shut them. But even if she had not, it is impossible that France, and especially Bonaparte, could have any right to demand it of her.
But, it will be said, Bonaparte is fighting for the freedom of the seas, and therefore has a just claim upon all nations to aid him in his warfare. Allowing the first part of the assertion to be true, it is denied that other nations are under obligations to join in the warfare, unless they choose so to do. Any nation that is satisfied with the old state of things in the world, respecting the rights of the ocean, is under no tie, moral or political, to attempt to produce a new. And those nations, which prefer having G. Britain to France, as a mistress of the seas, are not bound to further the ascendancy of the latter.
But, it remains to be proved that France is fighting for the freedom of the seas. The fact is strongly doubted, requiring cogent proof. That Francing (if such a thing is possible) to destroy the world, of all things most she abhors, the most natural of all seas, that power stands betwixt the universal dominion—is unique. France, in pursuit of the object, has brought almost the whole continental Europe to bear against her. Great Britain, with such high and distinguished rank, as at the present moment. As soon as she becomes formidable to the world, it will be owing to the merit of her policy, and ranking envy of France. Having in the pursuit of her great scheme of aggrandizement, broken down all the ancient usages of nations, having overturned their governments and robbed them of their independence, France, with an imposing but deceitful pretence, becomes the champion of the rights of nations on the water, whilst at the same moment, it should be remembered, she is the destroyer of those rights on the land. The old usages which constituted the code of nations, as it respects the surrounding world, are slighted & contemned by France, and by disregarding them entirely, she has established a despotic sway over almost the whole of Europe. As it is strange (for I do not pretend to justify the fact) that Great Britain should meet this overwhelming power, on an element where she is completely mistress, with such means as are calculated to check the progress of it in her own territories—especially, as the downfall of Great Britain, is the avowed object of the government of France! In short, so long as the law of nations is prostrated on the land by France, for the purpose of destroying the British nation, and all other nations submit to it, and many of them join in the plan, who can wonder if Great Britain should establish such regulations on the water, as she considers necessary for her own preservation. Whether just or unjust, it is human nature, and therefore is not a subject of astonishment among sensible people.
But who is weak enough to imagine, that if France, after having conquered the con-
tinent, should also become empress of the ocean, the rights of nations would be any more respected by her, than they are by Great Britain? If any person has any prominent instances of French clemency, or French justice to exhibit, let them be produced. If there is any nation that is above all others unjust, cruel, and tyrannical, it is France. The government of France does not even respect the rights of its own subjects; how then can it be expected that it will be just to other nations.
The people of this country have the benefit of experience to warn them of the fatal consequences of a union with France. We have got rid of an administration which earnestly wished to bind us to France. It with our eyes open, and all our senses in operation, we plunge into the evil, the consequences will be merited, and we shall have no claim to compassion.
FOREIGN.
VIA NEW-YORK.
LONDON, August 9.
German papers to the 22d ult. have been received. It should seem from what they say of the re-entrance of the Austrians into Dresden and Leipsic, that the armistice does not extend to the north of Germany. These papers confirm what we stated in our last, of the order given at Vienna to prepare quarters for 32,000 wounded French; and describes Bonaparte's loss at the battle of Wagram, to have been very great. The duke of Istria, (marshal Bessieres) is among the wounded, and several other generals.
A mercantile house of great respectability in London, is said to have received a letter from Rotterdam, of a very recent date, which positively asserts, that intelligence had been received there of the rupture of the armistice; and adds that another battle had taken place between the French and Austrians, in which the former were defeated with the loss of 14,000 men.
It was confidentially reported in London on Saturday, that government had received intelligence by telegraph of the capture of the island of Walcheren. We find, however, that no official accounts have been received from the expedition. A foreign vessel had arrived at Harwich from the Dutch coast, whence she sailed on Wednesday night. The master states that before he sailed he received positive intelligence that the island of Walcheren had surrendered to his majesty's arms.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
LONDON, August 5.—half past 7. P. M. The Arethusa frigate is arrived in 4 days from Corfu, and brings over a Spanish officer, captain Sianor, from gen. Cuesta's army, with important dispatches. It has inspired, that a junction between the British and Spanish armies has at length taken place. The combined armies were proceeding in their route to Madrid, with all possible dispatch; in the road to the capital was Victor, with other of the French generals and their armies as it was supposed, to dispute the passage. The improvement of the Spanish discipline, have been very conspicuous, since the junction with sir Arthur.
We know not how to account satisfactorily, for no official tidings being received from the expedition, certainly not a scrap has been received by government of the operations of our army of the Scheldt up to the present moment, although I am this moment informed from the westward, that a telegraphic dispatch, received about an hour ago at the Admiralty, announced the arrival of a messenger in the Downs, with the official account of the surrender of the island of Walcheren.
The Phoenix by boat is arrived at Harwich from Heligoland, after a passage of 9 days. She was sent off express, with an Austrian messenger, who was the bearer of important dispatches, some of the letters from Heligoland say, that the Archduke Charles has refused to ratify the armistice, but in our opinion, the thing is highly improbable; on the other hand, the dispatches are said to relate to a general congress for peace at Vienna.
The Sun has published a second edition, to say, that intelligence had been received from Rotterdam of a recent date, advising the rupture of the armistice, with the recommencement of hostilities, and the defeat of the French with the loss of 14,000 men. I only refer to the second edition, to caution you against believing its contents, should it by chance fall into your hands.
Besides the extracts from the German papers in the evening papers, they write from Zara, under date 20th June, that the Montenegrins shewed a disposition to take up arms, but they were ignorant as to the enemy they meant to contend with. The pre-
valent opinion was, that they intended to join the Servians, and in any action with them, to seize upon Bodrina. Others say, that at the instigation of Austria, to raise the inhabitants of Cattaro. The Montenegrins were not aware of the rupture between the Turks and France. The war between the Turks and Servians has not as yet produced any decisive event, of which intelligence is plenty. The Pacha of Ibrone who had taken Zoho, and marched against Valdevo, has been repulsed by the Servians, and lost many men. Thus I see, instead of contending the enemy, occupied in self in carrying off the most handsome women. The principal army, which by a single victory, would have established the communication with Constantinople, has not yet given battle. It is said also from Zara, that the Servians completely beat a Turkish division on the 1st and 2d June, commanded by Pacha Costa, who had passed the Drina, in order to march to the aid of the fortress of Socol. The Servians occupy Jeniska, and the passages which lead to Constantinople, so that the communication is entirely cut off. From Romelia, it is stated, that the Russians have seized upon Setestam and Acacialis, fortresses upon the Danube.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
LONDON, August 2—
half past 7. p. m.
All that we have heard from the expedition is, that it has arrived at Walcheren, but that the surf was so high on Saturday and Sunday, as to prevent the disembarkation taking place. We every moment expect to hear of their operations.
We have received to-day French papers to the 25th ult. containing intelligence from Vienna to the 14th ult. at which period, the Journal de Commerce says, that emperor Napoleon was about to depart for Paris. The news of the Armistice had filled every heart with joy, and copies of it were stuck up in every street. Presburg, we are sorry to say, has been evacuated by the Austrians, in virtue of the armistice; and the unfortunate Tyrolese have been induced to solicit pardon of the Bavarians, for the disloyalty they had evinced towards that country. As soon too, as they saw the Austrians abandon them, in compliance of the armistice, they proposed giving up their chiefs, in order to purchase their forgiveness. There are no further bulletins in these papers. The next, no doubt, will wind up with the preliminaries of peace being signed between France and Austria, under degrading circumstances. We are the more inclined to think so, as letters of the 26th ult. from Holland, state, that intelligence to that effect had reached Rotterdam on that day.
From Prague, the 8th July, it is stated, that there was a general impress in Bohemia, for the purpose of procuring Austrian reinforcements and every thing indicated a vigorous prosecution of war.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 20. Arrived, Brig Ann, Muller, 19 days from Havana. Sailed 1st September. Left brig Ann of Baltimore, not discharged, and about 40 other Americans. Several were selling their vessels to the Spaniards. Spoke nothing on the passage, saw nothing in the way. On board is a Mr. Duriham, who was supercargo of the schooner Mercury of King's Bay, being in Porto Rico, and bound to the coast of St. Domingo to take in manumission, took the advantage of the convoy of the Spanish brig of war, going with a transport and troops against the city of St. Domingo. Five leagues to the eastward of Acapulco, in the night, the transport attacked a small vessel commanded by a captain Champlin, of Baltimore, and fired above two hundred musket shot at him without allowing time to haul down his sails. In the morning reported to the English schr. that he was a French privateer. The brig which was somewhat to leeward when the transport began to fire, in a short time commenced firing cannon shot into him, and in the morning boarded him and carried him into a small port in the neighborhood and set Champlin and his brother at liberty, but kept the men, and after whipping them set them to work. The captain staid with the Mercury and went down in her to Jamaica. Mr. Duriham says further, that after they were ashore some days that two schooners, one under Swedish colors called the John and one under American, came to anchor in the port. There happened at the time to be a Spanish gun-boat in the port, who immediately applied to an English lieut. to assist in taking them, the lieut. said he would not assist, but he might go and take them and there was no danger. He in consequence took them, and turned the capt. and supercargoes ashore, but detained the men. The American schr. was commanded by a capt. Stiles. As they came into the bay saw an English brig towed in dismasted from St. Johns.
Alexandria Daily Gazette. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23.
Important Queries. —Suppose the commander in chief gen. Wilkinson, has, since he last went to New Orleans, been engaged in preparing an expedition against Florida or Mexico, or both? Suppose he has communicated his plans to an officer of the navy, with a view to engage that officer to co-operate with him, and under an assurance, that the administration countenanced his plans? Suppose that the administration have been informed of Wilkinson's plans, and of the proposals made the officer alluded to, and from the officer himself, who is distinguished for honor, integrity, and talents? Suppose all these things are true, will it not astonish every one, that general Wilkinson should remain at the head of the army. (Norfolk Ledger.)
Extract of a letter from New-Bedford, dated September 13th, to a gentleman in New York. "I have letters from capt. Howland, of the ship William & Eliza, dated at Gottenburg, the 17th July. He arrived on the 11th after a passage of 38 days. Off Ju land he was spoken by an English gun brig, who informed him and three others, that the Danish gun-boats take all Americans. The night following a ship from Salem, and one from New York, were taken by them. Next morning the boats fired at the brig Alexander of Salem, and William & Eliza, when about 200 rods apart; the brig struck but Howland squared away, and packing all sail got off. He saw no prospect of going to Russia; his cotton, coffee and sugar, would do very badly at Gottenburg—his oil, tobacco, rice and logwood would do tolerably well. If the English vessels give chase to the prizes, they run them on shore, and plunder all they can before they have them off. He was still waiting to see if no opening occurred to get to Copenhagen, where his cargo was wanted. Thus it appears we shall receive no supply this season of Russia goods, as it is unsafe to pass the Categat. In a calm, half a convoy was taken a few days before by those gun-boats."
The public mind will remain, it is presumed, in a state of anxiety until the meeting of congress; for it would seem that the president of the U.S. has not the power by law to alter in any manner the subsisting commercial relations of the country, unless Mr. Jackson had brought with him propositions equal to those of Mr. Erskine; and we may fairly conclude, after the British king has declared that he can never agree to such an
arrangement, that the new envoy has no such powers. Whatever may be the instructions of Mr. Jackson, it is hoped that his mission may terminate amicably. It is certainly for the benefit of both countries that peace should be the result of his labors. As to the idea that the gentleman has come hither to bully us, we have a more respectable opinion of our country, and of the character of his understanding, than to suppose any such thing. A British fleet may batter Copenhagen indeed, and thereby prostrate the Danes; but as to compelling their country to yield to dishonorable terms by bombarding a city or two, it is a mere fantastical conceit. Men of reflection smile at the notion of subduing a continent with floating artillery. Whatever nation would conquer us, must come ashore; and, in case of war, the coming on shore is all an American need ask of his enemy to insure his destruction.
But we see no real cause why G. Britain should attempt any thing of the kind; our administration appears willing to come to terms; Mr. Madison does not seem to entertain a hostile disposition towards the English, and it must, as things go at present, be the fault of the latter if an adjustment of differences does not take place. On the whole, we are of opinion that it would be more advantageous to the British nation to be on good terms with America than to irritate her by acts from which England finally derives no benefit.

From the Quebec Gazette. CASTLE OF ST. LEWIS. Quebec, 10th August. His Excellency the Governor in Chief, having received from his majesty's minister at Washington the following communication, has given directions for its being published for general information Circular from Mr. Secretary Gailatin to the Collectors on the Lakes.
"You will observe that exportation to the British territories is not forbidden by land, nor in any other manner than in ships or vessels, as will appear by the 3d section of the act of the 28th of June last. And according to the spirit of the instructions of the President, all merchandise which had left Montreal, or any other port in Canada for the United States, before the enclosed Proclamation was known at such port, is admissible to entry, and will not, for the present, be liable to seizure or subject the parties concerned to prosecution. A. G."
From the N. York Mercantile Advertiser. A respectable commercial friend (to whom we are often indebted for articles of intelligence from the continent of Europe) has received the following article by way of Malta, which he wishes us to publish as a specimen of the friendly manner in which the people of enslaved Europe are treated by their conquerors. We have received, also, Italian Papers to the beginning of July by the same conveyance, but they are wholly uninteresting.
Translated for the Mercantile Advertiser. Eugene Napoleon of France, Vice Roy of Italy, General in chief of the army have decreed and do decree as follows: 1. A contribution of 50,000,000 of francs is imposed on the city of Trieste. 2. This contribution shall be paid in specie, gold or silver, or in bills of exchange indorsed by commercial houses of known solvency, within the term of two months;—viz. Ten millions in 5 days after the notification of the present decree, 10 millions in 10 days following, and the remainder by 10 millions every 15 days until the whole be paid. 3. Til the said contribution shall be wholly discharged, forty of the principle inhabitants of Trieste shall be held under arrest and all the vessels at the city shall be sequestered. 4. The city of Trieste shall supply within the space of one month, for the service of the army, 10,000 cloaks, 50,000 shirts, 50,000 pair of shoes, 6000 pair of boots, and 10,000 pair of spatterdashes. The amount of the articles furnished will be reckoned in part payment of the present contribution after the price of each has been fixed by the intendant general of the army. 5. The intendant general of the army, the intendant general of the finances, and the receiver gen. of the contributions, are charged with what concerns the execution of the present decree, which they shall notify to the chief of the staff of the army.
Given at our quarters at Pilloch, 19th May, 1809. (Signed) EUGENE NAPOLEON. [Our correspondent informs us that 40 of the principal merchants of Trieste were arrested and conducted to Palmanora as hostages, agreeable to the 3d article of the present decree.]
The Tragedy of Adelgitha being announced for representation in our Theatre this evening, in which Master Barrett will perform the character of Lothaire —we have selected the following remarks on his performance of several characters equally arduous, from a Baltimore paper, in order to give the friends of the drama, some idea of the probable gratification they may expect to receive from witnessing its exhibition.
From the Baltimore Evening Post. THE THEATRE. THE admirers of the Drama have had frequent occasion to commend the skill, taste and anxiety with which Mr. Warren has provided for their gratification: nor is it among the least of the various causes which he has furnished for approbation, that he has availed himself to present Master Barrett to the notice of a Baltimore audience; under all those attendant circumstances which were calculated at once to display his powers to the highest advantage, and to ensure an impartial decision upon his merits. His admirable exhibition of YOUNG NORVAL , the truth and precision which marked the general contour of the character, and the delicate painting which gave ease and softness to the fine lineaments, received on Saturday evening the meed of unqualified applause; not the cold and reluctant approbation awarded to the modest pretensions of an inexperienced youth, but the warm effusions of the heart, responsive to all those passions which the poet has so successfully excited.
In this pleasing proof of the disposition of the audience to reward and encourage rising merit, the citizens of Baltimore have confirmed and established the judgment recently pronounced by an enlightened public in Charleston, New-York, and Philadelphia, and two others in Virginia. The part assigned to this youthful actor in LOVER'S VOWS , to be presented on Monday next, was performed by him to an overflowing house in Philadelphia, a few nights since, he had previously appeared in the same Theatre in the character of Young Norval , and the expectation of the public raised to no common pitch by his Noble Shepherd , were greatly surpassed by the beautiful correctness of Frederick Tribourg . This latter character is perhaps better suited by its more uniform tenderness, to the youthful appearance of Master Barrett . And to the modulation and melting cadence of his voice, it is difficult to feign the higher passions of the soul, and in spite of the best acting, the audience will occasionally escape from the delusion, that a boy only 13 years old feels the maddening rage of ambition, or the pangs of disappointed love; but in the fine movements of filial piety, or paternal love, of the force and energy of virtuous friendship, and in all the continuation of feelings which the vast fortune of man produces, we are doubly enhanced when we know that the actor must feel what the poet has figured; we felt the force of this remark when we witnessed Master Barrett in Love's Vows . We venture to assert that what attends the representation will leave it with sensations of delight—and those who particularly attend to his action, his voice, & his attitude in that scene where his heart is agitated, between the joy of finding a father, and the indignant pride with which he spurns even him, until his mother is restored to her proper rank in the scale of virtue, will be tempted to exclaim, "He is no actor now."
We are pleased in being able to say, from personal knowledge—the character of Master Barrett , has all the ingenuousness, modesty, and sensibility, so ornamental to youth; and while he has much fondness for his profession as is necessary to stimulate him to improvement, he seems most delighted when he contributes to the happiness of his parents. In a word, he merits all that a liberal, free and discerning public, can do for him.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S
Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
