FOR SALE, or Exchange, for Land in the lower country, a large Plantation, and one immediately on navigable water will be preferred, if I have to give bond, a large and comfortable house and lot, in the city of Richmond, with in one hundred and fifty yards of the Capitol, and next door to the Virginia Bank. There is every convenient out-house for a large family or a boarding-house, or tavern. A Smith's Shop, 40 feet by 24, two story, built fire-proof, that is now leased for two years, at $160 dollars per year, and a rent of $500 per year, has frequently been offered for the dwelling house with its conveniences. The whole of the houses and lot is now in as complete repair, and just painted, as any in the city. A liberal barter, I will make, if the land offered, suits me; or I will sell, at 1, 2 & three years credit for all the money except one-fourth, which must be in cash or negotiable notes with approved endorser, payable the first of February next, at which time I will give possession. My house is now ready to receive 20 or 25 boarders, & will certainly be kept as a boarding-house until the rising of the next general assembly, as I feel myself under some obligations to my friends who have heretofore favored me with their custom. Every exertion, on my part, will be made use of to give general satisfaction, to the gentlemen who may choose to board with me. I also wish to sell, a small Farm in Chesterfield that now rents for 9 per cent. upon what I ask for it, and it is generally believed the bowels of the earth is loaded with coal, as there is every mark, and the land is in the neighborhood of the coal pits, and situated on the turnpike road, 9 miles from Manchester. I also wish to sell, on a credit, one-fifth part of a tract of valuable land, in the upper end of York county, and supposed to contain five or six hundred acres. I also will sell, on a credit, a House and Lot, in the city of Williamsburg, which will be shown to any person that wishes to purchase by applying to Mr. John Coke, of that place. Any person inclined to purchase or exchange for any of the above property, will please to call on me. JOHN P. SHIELDS. September 15. w3w

COLUMBIAN MILLS. —The subscribers having purchased the Columbian Mills, beg to inform the public they are giving cash for Wheat and Corn. P. HAXALL & Co. September 5. 1d
LAND FOR SALE —The subscriber offers for sale that valuable estate on which he formerly resided, lying on James River, near the Town of Warminster, in the County of Nelson, lately Amherst. This tract contains nearly two thousand acres. The low grounds are of the most valuable kind, and the highlands immediately adjacent thereto are very fertile and uncommonly level. It might be divided into two plantations to advantage, or continued in one, as might suit the owner. The houses are new and amply sufficient for the comfortable accommodation of a family. A more minute description is deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed the purchaser will view and judge for himself. The subscriber will only observe that the place is very healthy, lies in a fine neighborhood, and commands, perhaps, as many advantages as any other situation that is offered for sale in the state. One fourth of the purchase money will be required on the first of January, when possession will be given; and the balance will be divided into three equal annual installments, without any charge of interest if the principal be punctually paid. A large crop of small grain will be sown in good order, and the purchaser may be accommodated with corn &c. sufficient for a year's supply. Letters directed to Buckingham Court-House, or to Warminster, would be soon received and attended to. In my absence, my brother Mr. Joseph C. Cabell will show the land to any person desirous to purchase. WM. H. CABELL. September 1. 1f
VALUABLE LANDS FOR SALE —The subscribers wish to dispose of that valuable tract of LAND called FORT LEWIS , lying in the Counties of Botetourt and Montgomery, and containing about 2,600 acres.

Cary's line, down the river, to within about a mile of Columbia.

One fourth of the amount being paid in hand, any reasonable credit will be given for the balance. GIBSON & JEFFERSON. Richmond, July 23. tf
FOR SALE , two thousand acres of YORK RIVER LAND , situated on the Pomonkey, in the upper end of King William, distant from Richmond twenty-five miles, from Hanover-Town ten, and from Hanover Court-house five. This Estate is one of the best on York River, combining as many advantages, as most in the lower country; the land is not so sandy as the Pomonkey low-lands generally are, which makes it produce good crops of Wheat & Corn. Adjoining is a manufacturing Mill, not more than two miles from the Barn door, where the Richmond price is given, deducting the carriage to market. For health, elegance of situation, and good water, few places more happily combine these advantages. One sixth of the purchase money being paid down, a credit of five years will be given to the purchaser, and a Deed of trust required on the land, to insure the punctual payment of the remaining instalments.

EUROPE.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 15. The ship William , Captain Marshall, whose arrival we announced in a Postscript to our paper of yesterday morning, left Dublin on the 3d of August; but sailing immediately after the embargo was raised, brings no newspapers. He confirms the intelligence which we have already given on the authority of the pilot who boarded him; and adds, that the secret expedition from England, which had been augmented to one hundred thousand men, sailed on the 28th of July in three separate divisions; that before its sailing the result of the battle, of the 5th and 6th of July was known in England; and that the loss of the Austrians was twelve thousand men and forty pieces of cannon. He says, that France and Austria have concluded a peace, but upon what terms we are yet unable to ascertain; and that the armistice was raised in England on the 27th or 28th of July, in Ireland on the 2d of August. An American sloop of war had arrived in England with dispatches from the government of the United States. Merc. Adv.
LATEST NEWS FROM ENGLAND.
The fast sailing ship Russell, Allen , arrived at the Quarantine ground last evening, from Liverpool, which port she left on the 3d August. Capt. Allen informs, that the Embargo in England was raised on the 29th July. The Grand Expedition, with about 90,000 troops on board, sailed on the 24th and 25th of July, destined as was supposed in Liverpool, for the coast of Holland. The American government schooner Enterprize , had arrived off the Texel. Our London papers contain the late account of the battles on the Danube, between the French and Austrians, and the armistice as published in our paper some days since; and an extract from the 27th French Bulletin to which the armistice is attached. Captain Allen has politely furnished the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with London papers to the 31st of July exclusive. Lloyd's Lists to the 21st, and Liverpool papers to the 2d of August, from which we have made the following extracts.
THE U. States' schooner Enterprize was cruising off the Texel. It was reported in London, the 28th of July, that Bonaparte left Vienna the 4th, on his return to Paris. N. York Gazette.
LONDON, July 20. The Flora (American ship) arrived at Dover yesterday from the Dutch coast, having been warned by one of our cruisers, not to enter into any of the ports of Holland. This precaution, which it indicates the destination of our force, is very necessary, as the sailing of the expedition has been delayed longer than was expected, and consequently the chance of its being ascertained by the enemy has become greater. It is reported that Sir Robert Wilson has joined the British army marching against Spain; we hence infer that the command of the Portuguese Legion, which he had raised and trained, will be restored to him. It now makes a part of the effective force of the 30,000 men under Sir Arthur Wellesley. Letters of a late date, which have been received from Petersburg, via Hambro', mention that the Emperor Alexander, with the Grand Duke Constantine, Count Romanzol, and a numerous suite, accompanied by the Duke of Friuli (Marshal Duroc,) were preparing to leave that city for the army in Galicia, and that events of great importance to the world might be expected soon to take place. It is also said there were no grounds to hope that Alexander would change his present system of politics; that Caulincourt was too active and intriguing; and that he was continually surrounded by the French party. The idea of possessing European Turkey, and placing his brother Constantine upon the throne of Constantinople, tended not a little towards retaining in him a disposition favorable to Napoleon.
July 27. We confess that the intelligence which arrived yesterday came upon us unexpectedly. We were not prepared for it. The accounts from the Austrian States, from persons invested with official situations, were in a style so different from that of despatch—so different in the disposition and valor of the troops were so eminent—the loyalty of the Austrian people had been so pronounced—the anxiety to rise against the French had been so openly manifested wherever an opportunity was afforded; that we acknowledge we had been induced to believe, that under the present circumstances, Peace was improbable. We have been deceived, and while we lament that we have been, we feel no disposition to apologise for having entertained that belief. To those who were of a contrary opinion, who may claim praise for having been consistent in their gloomy predictions; who are prepared, the moment any nation, goaded by oppressive treatment from Bonaparte, takes up arms against him, to prophesy her defeat and ruin; to those we leave without reluctance all the merit they may be entitled to—we have no wish to share it. As far as we were able to judge, even from the French accounts of the battle of Wagram, we did not imagine that it was such a defeat as to render immediate submission indispensable; it did not appear to be such a total rout as that which the Austrians and Russians met with at Austerlitz; the Austrian troops had fought so well, and did not seem to be dispirited. Yet as the fatal consequences of submission were so obvious, it may be supposed that the Archduke would not have solicited an armistice had he had any hope of being able to make head against the enemy. He had little expectation of being joined by the Archduke John, and the Russians were advancing on one side whilst Bonaparte was pursuing him on the other side. This has been urged in defence of an Armistice, to the contemplation of which we proceeded with more reluctance than ever we did to the contemplation of a
ny other document that ever was submitted to us.
Some events are of so striking a nature, their character is written in such broad and large letters, that all comment upon them is almost impertinent. When death snatched a Pitt from us, the whole depth and extent of the calamity which the nation had sustained, were visible to every man. When Austria signed the Armistice of Znaim, we all see that she has put the seal to her greatness and her power, that she has set her hand to the decree that completes her humiliation. The demarcation line separating Austria from Bohemia, takes in part of Moravia, and descending the March to its confluence with the Taya sweeps down by St. Jahan to Presburg and the mouth of the Raab, ascends the Raab to the frontiers of Syria, Carniola, Istria and Fiume. Brunn in Moravia, and Graz in Styria, are to be given up to the French, besides, the few of the most bitter; forts may be ceded, strong places may be given up, but the loyalty, the love for the house of Austria, that stirred up the Tyroleans, should have been a guarantee to them, that any disaster would be preferred to the giving them up to the vengeance of their oppressors. It is in fact striking a vital blow at that spirit, by which alone the continent could hope to rescue itself from the grasp of France.
But for this article, the armistice would not have been so humiliating as the armistice that followed the battle of Austerlitz. By that armistice the greater part of Moravia was included in the line of demarcation, part of Bohemia and all Carinthia. The Austrians were not to make any levy in Hungary, nor to recruit in Bohemia. These conditions are not insisted upon in this armistice, and there is a difference in the preamble of the two. That agreed upon after the battle of Austerlitz, stated that "His Majesty the Emperor of the French, and His Majesty the Emperor of Germany, being desirous of coming to definitive negotiations, in order to put an end to a war which has devastated both their dominions, have previously agreed upon an armistice, to exist till the conclusion of a definitive peace, or the rupture of the negotiation."
Yet it were too much, we fear, to suppose that the armistice of Znaim will not be followed by the same consequences as the armistice of Austerlitz. Indeed the bulletin says, that the armistice was demanded, because the Emperor of Austria wished to treat for peace—Peace! What sort of a peace? But we have not the heart to pursue the subject. German papers and letters arrived this morning to the 12th July. They increase, if that be possible, our grief at the armistice; because they furnish more proofs of the disposition of the people of Germany to rise against the French. The city of Rotterdam was on Friday and Saturday last a scene of dreadful confusion and violence in consequence of disputes between the military and the newly raised conscripts, who refused to comply with the orders for marching. Several lives were lost on both days, and tranquility was with difficulty re-established.
July 22. The grand armament of the expedition will be in five divisions. It is arranged in a different manner from any which ever sailed from England. Particular duties are given to particular officers. Three points are to be attacked first. Admiral Orway and Sir Eyre Coote will make the attack upon one of them. It will be conducted in two different ways, according as the wind blows from the westward or the southward. The Marquis of Huntley and Commodore Owen will attack another point, and we believe their attack will be the first that is made, because its success will enable our ships to go up the river. Sir John Hope and Capt. Plampin will attack the third point. The success of this attack will enable us to get possession of a fourth point, by taking all its defences in reverse. Lord Gardner, with the fourth division, will in the mean time take an advantageous position. And Admiral Keates and Lord Rosslyn will, in the fifth division, bring up the reserve.
An article dated from Petersburg on the 5th, states that an English squadron has made its appearance between Hochland and Cronstadt, in presence of the Russian fleet, and that a naval engagement was expected. We trust the expectation may not be disappointed. Letters from Petersburg of the 6th add, that the English squadron consisted of seven sail of the line and twenty other vessels—and that the Russians were armed for the safety of Cronstadt, our ships having evinced a disposition to bombard it. FROM GERMAN PAPERS. PETERSBURGH, July 5.
According to intelligence received here yesterday, an English squadron has appeared between Hochland and Cronstadt, in presence of the Russian fleet. A naval engagement is expected. The foreign merchants in Cronstadt have received notice that they may sail when they please, but at their own risk. Our court Gazette contains what follows; "Austria has asserted in her Proclamations, that France looks in vain for assistance from her allies. If this observation should be applied to Russia, it will be a sufficient refutation to state, that on the 4th of June the head-quarters of the Russian army were at Lublin."
VIENNA, July 6. On the 4th the Austrian general Von Weissenwolf arrived at the head quarters of the Emperor Napoleon, and in the name of the Archduke Charles proposed to treat for an armistice and preliminaries of peace. The Emperor having signified his refusal, general Weissenwolf stated that the army of the Archduke Charles was still 200,000 strong; but he received for answer, that the fate of that army would be decided in 2 days. BERLIN, July 18. The following has been made public here by the Imperial Austrian Embassy. OFFICIAL BULLETIN. On the 4th the enemy threw a new bridge over the Danube from the Island of Lobau. The nature of the ground and an immediate quantity of artillery, greatly facilitated the

operation. The Imperial and Royal Army was posted on the heights behind the Russbach and extended its right wing to Sossau-brunn and Ragran, the left to Marggraf-Neusiedl. The centre was at Wagram. In the night of the 4th and 5th, the enemy completed the passage of the Danube to the left bank, and very early in the morning large bodies appeared on the plain. About mid-day all the points of the line of the Imperial and Royal army were attacked. The principal efforts of the enemy were however directed against the centre, with the view no doubt to penetrate it; but all his attacks, repeated with the greatest fury, and supported by his numerous artillery, among which were several batteries of heavy cannon, remained fruitless. At ten at night the fire ceased. The Imperial and Royal army had along the whole line maintained its positions, and had made great numbers of prisoners, among whom were many Saxons, Badonese, Italian and Portuguese soldiers.
On the 6th, about four in the morning, the enemy renewed his attack with larger masses and greater fury than on the preceding day. All his efforts against the centre and right wing were without effect; the latter had even obtained such advantages, that a complete victory was expected, when the enemy with fresh divisions and great superiority suddenly forced the left wing near Neusiedl, and compelled it to fall back. As one flank of the Imperial and Royal Army was thus threatened, his Imperial highness the Generalissimo thought it right to order a retreat by Hunsdorf and the Szababerg, over the communication with Bohemia. This retreat was accomplished in the best order, and without any remarkable loss.
The loss of the enemy on his centre and left wing was very great. We made 6000 prisoners, among whom were three generals. We also took twelve pieces of cannon with ammunition, & he was every where so reduced that he has not since endeavored farther to follow the Imperial and Royal Army. Gen. Lassalle is among the enemy's dead.
The Imperial and Royal army has also a great loss to deplore. Generals Peter Vecsay, D'Aspre, and Vukassowitz, are past the hope of recovery. Among the severely wounded are generals the Prince of Hesse-Homburg, Sutterheim, and the Paar. His Royal Highness the Generalissimo himself and the Prince of Lichtenstein, have received slight gun-shot wounds, which however have had no bad consequences. For the rest the whole army displayed such proofs of courage and firmness, as to leave no anxiety for the future.

Before the greater part of our Readers will have received this day's Courier, the Expedition will have reached the first point of its destination, and struck the first blow. The first and second divisions of the Expedition, sailed early yesterday morning, and were soon clear of the Downs. Admiral Otway, with the remaining division of the Expedition, sailed at five this morning. In the mean time more horses, troops and artillery are embarking, and we have probably by this time, on the enemy's coast, the largest force that was ever sent from the British shores at one time; perhaps between 40 and 50,000 troops.
Three islands lie at the mouth of the Scheldt, Cadsand, Walcheren and Schouwen. The possession of these islands is necessary to all ulterior operations up the East and West Scheldt, and these, we may now say, it is the object of the three divisions of the expedition to attack in the first instance. Cadsand will probably be the first island attacked, because it commands the entrance of the West Scheldt, and will enable our ships to go up the river. The Marquis of Huntly's division of the 6th, 50th, 91st, 9th, 38th, and 42d regiments will attack Cadsand. Cadsand is not strong on its Western side, but the enemy we understand, have erected a mortar battery above Breskens. With such a battery and Flushing, the Scheldt may be in a great measure commanded. But it is probable that it is not intended to attack this battery in front, at least till after a landing has been effected in another part. The second division under the command of Sir John Hope, is detained for the Schouwen island and the north part of Walcheren. Schouwen is necessary to secure the East Scheldt, and to put us in possession of North Beveland. The operations against Walcheren will be committed to Sir Eyre Coote. Upon this subject, it is said in a morning paper, that "the enemy has already assembled 6000 troops in Walcheren, which it is supposed will be sufficient to cope with 30,000 assailants placed as they are on terra firma and provided with extensive redoubts, and batteries. The town of Middleburg, in the island, has had the pavement removed from the spacious squares within its walls, and the same industry has been employed at Flushing, to prevent the destruction of the garrison, and inhabitants from the rebounding of the missiles, and from the fragments or stone in the case of bombardment."
We are glad to find that the enemy have no more than 6000 troops in Walcheren—but as to their being able to cope with 30,000 British troops, we have little doubt, ere a few hours have elapsed, that we shall find that they have not been able to cope with a third of that number. Middleburg is not a place of any strength. Flushing is strong; and there may be some batteries on the western coast of the isle of Walcheren. But the valour, skill, and firmness of our troops will soon overcome these obstacles.
What objects are in contemplation after the operations against Cadsand, Walcheren, and Schouwen have been carried into effect, it would be at present improper to disclose.
July 31. A cutter arrived on Saturday from off Flushing. A variety of reports were immediately in circulation on the coast. It was said by some that the island of Walcheren had surrendered to our troops without resistance. Others, that a considerable body of French troops had been collected in the island,
and that the resistance would be obstinate. A Dutchman who arrived in the cutter says, that the crews of the vessels at Flushing have deserted and gone to the interior.
Government had not, when our paper was put to press, received any account of the troops having disembarked.— Courier .
The Prague Gazette of the 14th ult. contains an account of the defeat of the army of Gen. Junot by the united corps of Radevosevich, Kienmayer, and the Duke of Brunswick Oels, near Bareuth.
It was reported at Dover on Saturday that Flushing had surrendered without opposition, not to the expedition, which had not then arrived, but to the British squadron which arrived off that station on Tuesday Se'nnight, the French squadron having returned up the Scheldt.

LIVERPOOL, August 20. Government, it is said, have accounts from Flushing to Saturday last; the garrison of the place did not exceed one thousand men, consisting of Spaniards, Dutch, Irish and a few French.
SPAIN.—Dispatches have been received from Sir A. Wellesley. They are dated from Castel Blanco, the 1st ult. and mention, that at that period Cuesta and Venegas were pursuing Sebastiani and Victor, who were retreating upon the Tagus. The main body of Cuesta's army was to cross the Tagus about the beginning of July. The advanced guard crossed it on the 29th ult. On the 29th ult. its route was to Placencia by Zarga Major, its first division would reach about the 1st inst. Sebastiani had been joined by 5,000 men under Joseph Bonaparte at Mora; but they were likewise retreating for the purpose of uniting with the force under Victor, &c. Part of Cuesta's army which had crossed the Tagus at Almanazar, was to re-cross it on account of the French being at Ralavera. It was supposed that Cuesta would cross it at another place, and that Venegas would take a position near Villarta, which would at once threaten the enemy's rear, Toledo and Madrid.
Advices have been also received from Mr. Duff, at Cadiz. These are dated the 6th ult. and state that the whole of the French troops in Spain had formed a junction near Madrid, and that Joseph Bonaparte was at their head. About 4,000 French had been surrounded at Val de Pena, by a large body of the Spaniards, and with the exception of one man, the whole had been massacred.
General Blake has published an official account of his defeat near Saragossa. A defeat, however, it could not be called, as his army in the most cowardly manner deserted him upon the first fire from the enemy. He has published an eloquent and energetic appeal to the Spanish armies.
SAINT GALL, June 26. The insurgents of the Tyrol and Vorarlberg have been prohibited entering the territory of Switzerland, on pain of death.
PARIS, July 14. Letters from Genoa and Marseilles, mention that the Regency of Algiers, at the instigation of the English, demanded of M. Dubois Tainville, Consul General of France, payment of an annual tribute; and, upon his refusal, ordered him to be arrested. A provisional embargo has been in consequence laid on all Algerine ships and property in the ports of France.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 28. Three English frigates have taken possession of Catharine harbor in Kola, near the Icy Ocean, and of all the stores belonging to the Company of the White Sea. The government has put an embargo upon all vessels in Archangel, that they may not fall into the hands of the English, who seem to have devoted their attention principally to the corn vessels from Archangel. This is the first attack of the English upon the Russian territory.
July 1. We learn from good authority, that negotiations between Russia and Sweden have already been carried on a considerable way, and will speedily come to a favorable termination.
VIENNA, July 6. On the 4th the Austrian General Von Weissenhoff arrived at the head quarters of the Emperor Napoleon, and in the name of the Archduke Charles proposed to treat for an armistice and preliminaries of peace. The emperor having signified his refusal, General Weissenhoff stated that the army of the Archduke Charles was still 200,000 strong; but he received for answer, that the fate of that army would be decided in two days.
STOCKHOLM, July 15. Major Arfwedson has returned from his mission to the French Emperor and has brought passports for a negotiator to proceed to Paris. Baron Von Essen is to be the ambassador.
GOTTENBURGH, July 21. The two men who were tried for the murder of the mate of an American vessel, were found guilty, and are to be beheaded for the offence; the day of their execution is not yet fixed, as it cannot take place without the sanction of his Swedish majesty.
TWENTY-SIXTH FRENCH BULLETIN.
WOLDESDORFF, July 9. The enemy's retreat is a defeat. We have collected a part of his baggage. His wounded have fallen into our hands; we have already counted more than twelve thousand; all the villages are filled with them. In five or six hospitals alone we have found more than 6000.
The Duke de Rivoli, pursuing the enemy by Stokraw, is already arrived at Hollabrunn.
The Duke de Ragusa had at first followed on the road to Brunn, which he quitted at Wolkersdorff in order to take that of Znaim. At nine o'clock this morning he met at Laa, a rear guard which he routed—he took 900 of them prisoners. He will be to-morrow at Znaim.
The Duke of Auerstadt is arrived to day at Nicolsburg. The Emperor of Austria, Prince Anthony with a suit of about 200 chariots, coaches, and other carriages, slept on the 6th at Ebersbrunn, the 7th at Hollabrunn, the 8th at Znaim, whence they set out at nine of the morning. According to the relation of the country people who conducted them, their dejection was extreme.
One of the Princes de Rohan was found wounded on the field of battle. Lieut. Field Marshal Wussakewicz is among the prisoners.
The artillery of the guard covered itself with glory. Major Ansville, who commanded, was wounded. The emperor has made him Gen. Brigade. The chief of a squadron
of artillery, Greener, has lost an arm. These intrepid artillerymen displayed all the power of this terrible weapon.
The horse chasours of the guard charged and drove back, on the day of the battle of Wagram, three squares of infantry. They took four pieces of cannon. The light horse Poles of the guard charged a regiment of pikemen. They took the prince of Auersberg prisoner and captured two pieces of cannon.
The Saxon hussars d'Albert charged the cuirassiers d'Albert, and took their colours. It was a very singular thing to see two regiments belonging to the same colonel fighting one against the other.
It appears that the enemy is abandoning Moravia and Hungary, and is retiring into Bohemia.
The roads are covered with the men belonging to the Landwehr and the levy en masse, who are returning to their houses.
The losses which desertion is adding to those, the enemy has sustained in killed, wounded, and prisoners, are concurring to annihilate his army.
The numerous letters which have been intercepted are a striking character of the discontent of the hostile army, and the disorder which reigns in it.
Now that the Austrian monarchy is without hope, it would evince being ill acquainted with the character of those who govern it, not to expect that they will humiliate themselves as they did after the battle of Austerlitz. At that epoch, they were as now, without hope; and they exhausted all their protestations and oaths.
During the day of the 6th, the enemy sent a few hundred men to the right bank of the Danube to make observation. They re-embarked after having lost a few men killed or taken prisoners.
The heat was excessive on these days. The heat was almost constantly at 26 degrees.
There are great quantities of wine. In one village 5,000,000 pints were found. It has happily no bad quality.
Twelve of the most considerable villages in the beautiful plain of Vienna, such as are seen in the neighborhood of a great capital, have been burnt during the battle. The just hatred of the nation is loud against the guilty men who have drawn upon it all these calamities.
The General of Brigade, Laroche, entered Nuremberg on the 28th June, with a corps of cavalry, and proceeded towards Bayreuth. He met the enemy at Besentheim charged him with the first provisional regiment of dragons, and cut in pieces all who opposed him, and took two pieces of cannon.
THE TWENTY-SEVENTH BULLETIN.
ZNAIM, July 12. On the 10th the Duke of Rivoli beat the rear guard of the enemy before Hallabrunn.
At noon on the same day, the duke of Ragusa, who had arrived on the heights of Zuiana, saw the enemy's baggage and artillery filing off towards Bohemia. General Bellegarde wrote to him that Prince John of Lichtenstein would repair to the emperor with a mission from his master, for the purpose of treating for peace; and in consequence desired a suspension of arms. The duke of Ragusa replied that was not in his power to accede to such a proposition; but that he would acquaint the Emperor with it. Meanwhile he attacked the enemy, took from him an excellent position, made some prisoners, and took two colours.
On the morning of the same day, the duke of Auerstadt had passed the Taya opposite Nicolsburg, and Gen. Grouchy had beaten Prince Rosenberg's rear, taking 450 men of Prince Charles' Regiment. On the 11th at noon, the Emperor arrived opposite Znaim. The battle had begun. The duke of Ragusa had attacked the city, and the duke of Rivoli had taken the bridge & occupied the tobacco manufactory. We took from the enemy in the different engagements on this day, 3000 men, 2 standards, and 3 pieces of cannon.
The Emperor, informed that the Prince John of Lichtenstein had entered our out posts, ordered the fighting to cease. The annexed armistice was signed at the Prince of Neufchatel's—Prince Lichtenstein was presented to the Emperor, at two in the morning in his tent. [Here follows the armistice already published in our paper.]
TWENTY-EIGHTH BULLETIN.
The Danube has risen six feet. The bridges of boats which had been constructed before Vienna since the battle of Wagram, have been broken by the effects of this rise; but the bridges at Ebersdorff are solid & permanent; none of them have suffered. Those bridges and the works of the island of Lobau, are the admiration of the military persons of Austria. They avow that such works are without example since the time of the Romans.
The Archduke Charles having sent Maj. Gen. Weissevoof to compliment the Emperor, and since that the Baron de Wimpffen and prince John of Lichtenstein having come upon the same courteous errand, in his name, his majesty has thought proper to send to the Archduke of Friuli, Grand Marshal of the Palace who found him at Budweis, and passed part of yesterday at his head quarters.
The Emperor left his camp at Znaim yesterday at 9 o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the palace at Schoenbrunn at three in the afternoon.
His majesty has visited the environs of the village of Spitz, which forms the teted-point of Vienna. Gen. Bertrand has been charged with the execution of different works which must be marked out and begun this day.
The bridge of piles at Vienna will be re-established with the least delay possible.
His Majesty has named as marshals of the Empire Gen. Oudinot, the duke of Ragusa, and Gen. Macdonald. The number of marshals was eleven; this nomination will make it 14. There still remain two vacancies. The places of col. general of the Swiss, and col. General of the chasours are also vacant.
The Col. Officer of the chasours is according to our constitution, a Grand Officer of the empire.
His majesty has testified his satisfaction with the manner in which the surgery has been served and particularly with the services of the principal Surgeon Heurteloup.
His majesty passing through the field of battle on the 7th caused a great number of the wounded to be taken off, and left there the duke of Friuli, Grand Marshal of the Palace, who remained all day.
The number of wounded Austrians in our hands amounts to 12 or 13,000.
The Austrians have had nineteen generals killed or wounded. It has been remarked
as a singular fact, that most of the French Officers, whether of old France, or of the new provinces, who were in the Austrian service, have perished.
Several couriers have been intercepted; and among their letters has been found a regular correspondence of Genl. with Count Stadion. The influence of this wretch in the leading determinations of the Austrian Cabinet, is hereby materially proved. Such are the instruments which England employs, like a new Pandora's box, to raise storms, and spread poison on the continent.
The Duke of Rivoli's corps encamps in the Circle of Znaim; that of the Duke of Auerstadt in the Circle of Brunn; that of the Duke of Ragusa in the Circle of Korn-Neubourg; that of Marshal Oudinot before Vienna, at Spitz; that of the Viceroy on Pressburg and Gratz. The Imperial Guard returns to the environs of Schoenbrunn.
The harvest is very fine and abundant everywhere. The army is cantoned in a beautiful country, rich in provisions of all kinds, wine particularly.
FROM THE ARGUS.
NEW REVOLUTION AT ALGIERS.
A friend to the Editor of the Argus has furnished him with the copy of a letter from a gentleman at Algiers to another residing in the city of Washington, which contains an account of a recent revolution in that regency: It is as follows:
ALGIERS, March 15th, 1809.
"In my last I gave you some account of the revolution that took place here on the 7th of November;—since that period every thing has been very quiet, (considering the number of idle Turks who have remained in the city), until the 4th instant, when the death of Ali Basha was decided on, partly because he had been always considered unfit for the post, and (as is said) because he had determined to cut off the Aga and Hoggia Cavallos, both of whom had been continued in office by the soldiers, to whom they were highly agreeable. During the night of the 3d, these officers fled to the caserns and made known the Dey's intentions. In the morning the soldiers went unarmed to the Palace and received their pay, having previously empowered the Divan to execute the plan of the intended change: upon their return, a chaos was dispatched, who presented himself before the Dey, and ordered him to follow him out; the Dey at first assumed a tone of authority; but to no purpose: The dreadful mandate must be obeyed, for a chaos and death are equally inexorable. He was instantly strangled, and succeeded by Haga Ali, the Hoggia Cavallos, who had taken refuge in one of the caserns. The usual ceremonies of insluation were performed, and the affair was terminated without executing the smallest sensation or alarm. The poor devil (who was killed) was the Iman of a little Mosque; and totally ignorant of the charge, his ambition prompted him to assume. He appeared to have received a shock by his unexpected elevation, which benumbed his faculties; and I know not that he is accused of generosity or barbarity. His predecessor, Achmet, was a very different character—a tyrant of the first rank, whose name should be recorded with those of a Nero and a Caligula. The soldiers are said to be very contented with the present Dey, who is represented to be well acquainted with business, and possessed of a mild though firm character."
LATEST FROM SPAIN.
Captain Farrel, of schooner Valona, from Salonicca, arrived this morning, informs that on the fourth of August he put into Ceuta for water. On that day there was a great deal of firing there, and at Gibraltar, which Capt. F. was informed, by a Spanish officer, who came on board from the fort, was on account of a victory obtained over the French by the combined Spanish and British armies, that they had retaken Madrid, and taken and killed 40,000 of the French. Captain F. being from the Levant, was allowed but little communication with the shore and none with the town.— Fed. Gaz.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13. MORE OF BANKING.
PROMISSORY NOTES OF A NEW FORM.
Each revolving year brings forth some extraordinary novelty, to excite wonder and gratify curiosity. Long as banks have been in operation in various parts of the world, it was reserved for the present age, so fertile in discoveries and improvements, to invent the ne plus ultra of liberality and accommodation in the tenor of a promissory note. And the most remarkable feature in this affair is, that the discovery was not made in London, Paris, Vienna, Philadelphia, N. York, or Boston; but in a small two-penny Village, called Gloucester, (in Rhode Island) containing about a dozen houses. In this village, immortalized by the invention, there was a bank established in 1804, of which the capital was composed of two thousand shares, of 50 dollars each, amounting to 100,000 dollars. Of this bank, Andrew Dexter, jun. an illustrious speculator, borrowed the trivial sum of $45,771 dollars in their banknotes, for which sum he gave his promissory notes without indorser, in the following improved form:
"I, Andrew Dexter, jun. do promise the President, Directors and Company of the Farmers' Exchange bank, to pay them, or order, — dollars, in — years from the date, with interest, at two per cent per annum; it being, however, understood, that said Dexter shall not be called upon to make payment, until he thinks proper; he being the principal stockholder, and best knowing when it will be proper to pay the same."
I annex the amounts of the respective notes, and the periods of payment, for the gratification of the reader:
 (1.) One dated November 4, 1808, at eight years and 2 per cent. for $300,000  (2.) One dated Nov. 30, 1808, 32,000  (3.) do. do. December 12, 1808, 6,000  (4.) One other dated November 30, 1808, 507,771 
$847,771 With the bank notes received by Dexter for these notes of hand, there was carried on a stupendous scene of fraud and villainy. They were employed in the purchase of property of every kind by Dexter and his friends; and as they made no scruple about price, they possessed themselves of many of the most valuable estates in New-England, some of which had descended from father to son since the first settlement of the country. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of victim
deplorable their fatal credulity, which induced them to convert their property into this paper, now not worth a cent in the dollar, which has reduced them, from a state of affluence, to beggary and wretchedness.
The bank ceased its operations, on the 27th of February, 1809, with the enormous sum of specie in its vaults, of 86 dollars and 58 cents, which, on an accurate calculation, will probably pay a farthing in the hundred dollars to its creditors.
The legislature of Rhode Island, at its last session, appointed a committee to investigate the whole of the nefarious transaction. That committee has published a luminous report for the information of their constituents, from which this sketch is taken. Felix quem aliena pericula fecerunt cautum.

QUEBEC, August 30.
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 Gallatin to the Collectors on the Lakes.
"You will observe that Exports 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 28th 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 U. S. before the inclosed 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." The Official Publication in this day's Gazette, relating to the execution of the late measure of the American Government on the Lakes, will be found important to the Trade of this Country. It appears, that the Commercial Intercourse between the U. S. and this part of the British Dominions, will be rather increased than diminished by that measure.
TO THE EDITORS OF THE N. Y. PUBLIC ADVERTISER.
EXTRACT—DATED
"WASHINGTON Sep. 12. "Mr. Jackson yesterday had his first interview with the Secretary of State—exhibited his letters of credence, &c. He now knows, has not been received, although that ceremony cannot be finally gone through with in the absence of the President. Mr. Erskine is as usual recalled; but will continue to be the resident minister, until his letter of recall is presented to the President, which will probably not be before about the time that Mr. Jackson is fully recognized. The President will not be here before about the beginning of October; so that if either or both those gentlemen wish to expedite their operations, he, or they, will have to visit him at his private residence."
"The Secretary of State also returns to Baltimore again, to-morrow morning."
"There are, as yet, no other data here on which to found an opinion of the particular views, temper or policy of his government, than what you have already received from me. I shall take care, from time to time, to apprise you of such events, connected with the interests of our country, as may transpire at head quarters."
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.
We understand, from an authentic source, that a revolution has recently taken place at Algiers, by which the then reigning Dey, (originally a Mahometan priest) was deposed and put to death. He was succeeded by one of the favorites of the soldiery, who was placed by the military at the head of the Regency without the occurrence of any sanguinary event, except the strangling of his predecessor. This revolution occurred about the 4th of November last. The present Dey is represented as a man of considerable abilities for the station, and the unfortunate man whose place he occupies as having been an imbecile ruler.
ELECTIONS.
It is with pleasure that we remark that Republicanism is rapidly regaining its ascendancy, and that the elections which have lately taken place are uniformly favorable to correct principles.
In Massachusetts, it is well known that the last election reduced more than one half the federal majority in the State Legislature.
In Rhode Island, at the election which has just taken place, it is said that there is a Republican majority in the place of a federal majority of 22 in the Legislature. At any rate, the Legislature is very nearly equally divided in politics.
In Connecticut, an election for the State Legislature, has just taken place, the result of which we have not heard; but there is no doubt that steady habits preponderate.
In Vermont, also, an election has just taken place; and from what we have heard Vermont will this year be confirmed in the rank of her republican sisters, from whom she was almost estranged, having last year a federal governor.
[By yesterday's mail we learn that in 30 towns on the west side of the mountain the Republican Candidate for Governor (Jonas Galusha) has a net gain, from the last election, of above 1000 votes; and a larger gain is expected on the eastern side. The representation of fourteen of the towns heard from has been changed from federal to Republican, and a majority of forty is calculated on instead of ten in the House of Representatives.]
In New Jersey an election of members of the State Legislature is about to take place. There is no doubt of the Republicanism of this state.
In Pennsylvania another election (for State Representatives) approaches. Of the political character of this state it is unnecessary to speak. Notwithstanding some local schism which appears among her citizens, in general politics she is always correct.
In Maryland, the annual election for members of the State Legislature approaches. It will be recollected by our readers that Maryland has now an accidental federal majority in the House of Delegates, and by the same token that they lately prevented the election of a Senator of the United States to supply the vacancy occasioned by the expiration of the term of service of Gen. Samuel Smith. We have the satisfaction of informing the friends of Republicanism, that notwithstanding every exertion of federal industry and ingenuity, in either labor or expense, it is to have been

spared, Sampson, having regained his strength, will not again be rocked to sleep in the lap of Delilah. The republicans of the state are wide-awake, and of course must succeed.
North Carolina , an election took place in the last month for members of the state Legislature. The state elections in this state are little influenced by political considerations; but there is no doubt of correct principles maintaining the ascendancy in her councils.
In Kentucky and Tennessee , the state elections took place in the last month. It would be superfluous to say that those states have remained unshaken amidst the contests of party, being yet as they always have been, decidedly republican. Nat. Int.
Five American vessels , two of them belonging to Mr. Gray of Salem, have been taken, under Moorish colors, and carried into Gibraltar. Freeman's Journal.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 16. By the Schooner Fairy, Captain Henry, from Malta, we learn, that the British expedition fitted out against Naples, after having landed some troops on an island of that bay, and finding they were not likely to be successful, had given up the enterprize, and a part of the fleet had returned to Malta.
THE ENQUIRER. RICHMOND, SEPTEMBER 22, 1809.
It is with infinite reluctance, that we lay over the No. on Foreign Influence , and commit the following remarks to print. It is the 1st. and shall be the last time, in which we shall notice S. C. C. in this way—a man, for whom we feel all the contempt, which his vocation inspires.
To Stephen Cullen; Alias, Stephen Cullen Carver. Once paymaster of his Majesty's Forces in Guernsey, Now a British Emissary in the U. S.
Sir—I have had the honor of seeing the polite letter, which you have addressed to the Editor of the "U. S. Gazette" in his paper of the 18th inst., respecting me. It was an act of condescension which I could scarcely have hoped for. After having soared to such an exalted height as to attack the character of Thomas Jefferson Esq., in your late inimitable Memoirs —it was surely not have been expected, that the towering eagle would have stooped from his Aery in search of such humble game as me. I should have indeed felt the compliment, if such men as you could confer value upon any thing. As for Mr. Bronson, who acts on this occasion the part of the convenient friend —who has "sent you the Enquirer," and given vent to your communication—his conduct does not much surprise me. There are situations in life which evolve the same interests and the closest sympathy of feelings between different persons. The incendiary, who sees the rope around the neck of his comrade, is almost instinctively ready to raise his hand to his own. The friend, the tool and the protege of the British consul, is apt to feel for the honor and the fortunes of an Emissary of G. B.
It is strange, most "passing strange," that you should complain of "the democratic papers," those pestilent vehicles of malice and brutality —whilst the paper on which you were breathing these murmurs, was full in your eye? As well might the scavengers of London or the possessors of Paris boast of the purity of their Taste, or a British Emissary give lectures on "political morals." Con over your own Essay again, sir, and gather up all the malicious and scurrilous "honors which reek" from its surface. "Those public nuisances, the democratic prints—those pestilent vehicles of malice & brutality—criticism without taste, judgment or learning—misrepresentation without shame, and glaring falsehoods stuck into dull pewter setting—these well fleshed dogs of the reign of terror—the whole pack of Jacobin blood-hounds, lurchers, terriers, and all, would break out from their kennels, uncoupled and unmuzzled, and, though they could not bite, open their carrión tainted throats (elegantissime!) expand their bloody jaws, and howl, and chop, and snap the air with fury at me—malignant as col. Duane, or his sympathizing subordinate of Richmond—no less stupid than base deceivers—these impostors—those very fellows—those patriots, who disallow all loyalty but to Napoleon—examine the whole conduct and principles of the sect "the democratic Editors," and you will find every part of it in all its classes systematically moving on evil, and triumphantly repulsive of good—possessed with the spirit of evil himself , they act under an eternal agency, which they cannot control if they would, and would not if they could! (Plagiarism! by St. Stephen, from Burke's speech on the trial of W. Hastings, Hem! )—false opinions, false taste, virulent malice, uncouth vehicle, and a dead Jack-ass ." See, Sir, what an elegant wreath may be woven from the flowers which you have scattered! And yet this is the man, who has the modesty to complain of the scurrility, falsehood, brutality and malice of others!
You deny having "virtually confessed" that you are a British Emissary—you charge me with having "garbled" your expressions. Now with what face can you urge this complaint, when you yourself have garbled your own expressions? Let these words be placed before the world; and it is for them to judge how far they will bear out the assertion of your having "virtually confessed" your dishonor.
"As to his (Col. Duane's) crying out 'British Emissary' &c. it has not even the merit of ingenuity to qualify the falsehood of it. For centuries it has been the common stratagem of rogues when pursued to cry out, 'stop thief!' But suppose it were true, what would be my crime? That of doing an act which is in itself legal. What is my crime in the eyes of this Colonel? One that should make him shudder, if he were not steeled against remorse— FIDELITY TO MY COUNTRY ." Yet these last emphatic words, in Italic , are totally omitted in the extract which you have given us.
Even Cobbett did not confess himself to be a British Emissary—Oh! no. At the very moment, when he was "serving his king and country" he was professing his hatred to the English, and his wishes that "their island was sunk to the bottom of the sea."
Have I asserted, that you had "directly confessed" the charge? No. My phrase was guarded, precise, chastened by the circumstances of the case itself. A virtual confession of a charge is, in many cases, consistent with a sort of direct denial. There are ew cr minals who will directly acknow-
ledge their guilt. It is not every Votary of the Virgin Goddess, who will directly assume the title of her station. Such qualities of prudence never impose upon any one. It is the air, which accompanies these denials—it is the principles, which men approve and profess—which stamp the words of the offender with their principal force. A woman, who is so lost to the charities of her sex as openly to vindicate prostitution, may fairly be set down among those who have practised her precepts. It is the vicious heart alone that all the vices issue. That man, who vindicates an act of dishonor, which has been brought home to him strongly by the light of his own actions, may deny it, if he pleases. His denial will be regarded as a mere sacrifice to the fear of punishment—but it is the approbation of the act, which is received as the virtual confession of the crime. It is not unfrequent for the tongue to lapse from the cause of truth, long after the heart has lapsed from the cause of virtue.
The man who has not stamped the character of a British Emissary with all the execration which it deserves, when he has occasion to speak of it—but who has pronounced it to be a "legal" vocation, and boasted of his LOYALTY to a foreign king, needs not pronounce any other vindication of a British Emissary. Let there be certain acts of his life, which concur in fixing the suspicion upon him, the argument is satisfactory at least to common sense. Those principles which he has avowed, will amount to a virtual confession of his guilt. But are such acts wanting in the life of the being, whom I am addressing?
Were you not the pay-master of his majesty's forces in Guernsey? For what reason have you disgraced yourself by a change of your name? The alias affixed to a man's character is equally suitable to the Grande , who changes his title, and the wretch, who shifts his name for the purposes of evasion. The world is at no loss to know to which of those classes you must belong. Why that peculiar style in which you have conducted the columns of the "Courier" and "The People's Friend" why their opposition to the cause of Liberty and of our constitution—why their obsequious defence of the arts and the wrongs of the British government?
It is, because that man was a British Emissary. But there is no offence, it seems, in all this loyalty to the king and country of Great Britain. Nay, this very modest gentleman denounces me for the want of morality in not having enrolled it in the highest catalogue of the virtues . These are his words: "For what does the Enquirer say—virtually and positively too? Why this—S. C. Carpenter has confessed himself to be "loyal to his king and faithful to his native country, and for being so he deserves exposure and chastisement." Here then is the common Jacobin creed. Here is the creed of the Richmond Enquirer. "Fidelity to a man's native country and loyalty to its chief magistrate deserves exposure and chastisement."
Poor and pitiful sophist!—Who is it now, that garbles the expressions of others? The original words were—"a British Spy and an Emissary—loyal to his king, & faithful to his native country &c."—Let this however pass.
If your quotation had been correct—the pitiful sophistry with which you disguise its truth is worthy of your vocation. The Briton who chooses to breathe his native air, may be loyal to his king and faithful to his native country. But was it of such a case, that the proposition was maintained? No. It was of a Briton, such as S. C. C. who has visited the shores of the United States, who feels the protection of its laws, is cheered by the light and liberty of the country, and owes a temporary allegiance to its government for the blessings which he enjoys. If in all the great collisions which exist between Great Britain and the U. States, a man of this description were to employ all his arts to immolate the rights of the United States, on the altar of British injustice; he may be loyal to his king and faithful to his native country; but he "deserves exposure and chastisement" from the people of the United States. Such a man would be hailed, in the language of our forefathers as a Tory . Such a man is a Traitor to that temporary allegiance, which he has contracted. The creed of such a man is this:
"I believe in his most sacred majesty king George the 3d. in all the Princes and Peers of the British Empire. I believe in his right to destroy all the pretensions of other powers on the high seas, and to subdue these United States, if so it please his sovereign will, into tributary colonies. I believe it to be my duty to consult his sovereign pleasure in all the steps which I may pursue—to thwart all the interests of the United States—to despoil their Constitution, liberty and laws—and in every thing which I may do; to trample down the rights of America, and support the encroachments of G. B. So help me God!"
Such a man art thou! a man, into whose bosom all the blessings, which he enjoys, cannot inspire one touch of gratitude or respect—a man, whom not even the impunity of publishing the most atrocious calumny upon our country and our people, can inspire with one sentiment of respect for those mild institutions, which create your privileges—But I thank God! that even in this country such men as S. C. C. can vent their calumnies with impunity—and that if there be no other region on the earth, there is at least one, in which a monument has been erected of the safety with which Error may propagate her opinions, "where Reason is left free to combat it."
"But you are no spy, because so long as G. Britain is at peace with the U. States, her subjects may lawfully remain here and send information home of any thing they think worth observation." But if G. Britain be at peace with the United States, to whom is this state of things to be ascribed? To the moderation of the U. States. Has not Great Britain given us many and most serious causes of war? Has she not made the most infamous encroachments upon our rights? Our regard for peace has hitherto shielded us from war—and I hope, that peace may still be preserved, consistently with the honor of the nation. But have not the most serious collisions of interest taken place? Have there not been crises, during which a foreigner may have played the part of an Emissary and a Spy, as during a state of war? You say, that there is "no information to be sent home"—because the public prints of this country tell every thing. What! do the heads of the "British party" commit their secret evolutions to the public prints?—But, sir, it is not necessary that a spy should send
any "information home." The foreign incendiary, who watches for an opportunity to fire a public magazine, certainly needs not transmit his intelligence to his employers. The Emissary, who comes over to this country to inflame and to mislead the public mind, who watches for every opportunity to do mischief and to serve his employers, who begins with changing his name, lurks in secret, and publishes his works without even an imprint to his title-page, is to all intents and purposes a Spy —though he cannot be tacked up to the Halberds by the sentence of a Court Martial, nor doomed to the Gallows by the verdict of a Jury.
But there are "in England many thousands" of intelligent American citizens, "whose right to give any information they please is never called in question." But where are the American citizens, who have established presses in England? Where is that man, who has "deserved a statue of gold" for the secret services which he has rendered to the U. States in G. Britain?
And you are really at a loss to know, what would be the object of a spy or an emissary? "What is there, you say, in this country to employ a spy upon?" And then in a sneering and ironical tone you inquire, whether they are to take cognizance of our "dock-yards and arsenals"—the private operations of our cannon foundries—"our secret armaments"—our "grand expeditions"—to form "plans of the vast fortifications which cover the frontiers and the coast" &c.—things, which, you so politely add "are on so large a scale, that every cabin boy who comes in and goes out of a harbour, can describe the whole as completely as could Vauban or Coehorn themselves, if they were alive." We understand your sneers, sir, and shall treasure them up for future retribution.
Miserable sophist! for what services in this country did W. Cobbett "deserve his statue of gold?" Did he "plumb the ditches" of our ramparts? Did he gauge the "calibre of our artillery?" Did he form "plans of our fortifications?" And yet this man was at no loss for employment. He stood at the head of an influential press. He displayed his calumnies against our best men. He attempted to "serve his king and country" by controlling our elections, and vindicating the aggressions of his country.
It is difficult to know which most to admire, the impudence which dictates your doubts, or the flimsiness of the sophistry which supports them. Is it possible that you could be at a loss on such a subject, when you had not only this brilliant precedent before your eyes, but the dull fruits of your successive labors before you? For what did you land in this country with a parcel of types? Was it to plumb ditches, or gage calibres? What—when the columns of the Charleston Courier , and of the People's Friend —and the pages of your late memoirs, that noble monument of your ignorance, folly, and misrepresentation, "sent into this breathing-world" without even an imprint to tell the place of its nativity, abandoned by its own father, and by all about it, were before you—what! could you have been at a loss for the means of employment, when these dull compositions were before you?
I have done, sir,—I must again repeat, that you are unfit for your business. If W. Cobbett has a "deserved statue of gold" for his services in America, what will Mr. Windham award you on your return to G. Britain? I fear—not even a statue of Brass.
Your letter will at least have one salutary effect.—You have not denied that you were the author of the "Memoirs of Thomas Jefferson." Your silence is a sure confession of the fact.—That work is damned for ever. The people of this country are safe from the misrepresentations of a thing, which is not only fraught with every species of ignorance and of prejudice—but is the holy composition of a British Emissary.
IMPORTANT QUERIES.
Suppose the commander in chief, general 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?
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
The first No. on the "Elective Franchise" is written with force and fire; But the subject is rather too abstract for the present times. At all events, no part of the production of an anonymous writer shall hereafter be put to press, until the whole series is in our hands. This caution flows from the omission of a writer of "Reflections to the people of the U. States, &c." the first No. of which was in our paper of the 11th ult. the rest were never received.
A statement from J. D. of Middlesex cannot appear—This paper has taken no part in the business to which he refers—and in mere private quarrels never will.
The advertisement from B. B. B. cannot be made under existing circumstances. Before any man can be charged with falsehood, the Editor himself has a right to demand some sort of evidence of the fact. It is useless, as yet, to refer to J. M. or J. W. or C. L. Mr. F. has laid before us an authenticated copy of a deed from the Records of Henrico court. The Editor would be glad to hear again from Mr. B.
Several advertisements from the country on our files.—Our rules cannot be dispensed with.—These cannot appear, until paid for, or some assumpsit made in this city, or a satisfactory pledge, that they shall be discharged instanter.

AN ELEGY, ON THE DEATH OF JOHN MADISON.
O! she of amorous, my morning kisses, sails, Those solemn groves & zephyr-wooling vales,
In sobs and sighs their feelings thus they pour: "Oh! Madison, where's now that daring mind,
That tongue on which persuasion's thunders roll'd, Alas! that tongue where fires seraphic burn'd,
That form which oft amidst the sportive throng, That on yon circus, grac'd their nerves in play,
That form imprisoned, in a dreary grave, Now disunites and crumbles into dust;
When rumbling in the new-dug gaping grave, Thy sinking coffin, sent a doleful sound,
And yet companion of our juvenile years! Thy parents' loss, tho' painful in the extreme,
When from the sphere of time, thy splendours roll'd Into the orbit of eternal day: —
It was universally acknowledged, by every one who saw Mr. Madison, in health, that his person was unexceptionably elegant.
FROM THE SPIRIT OF '76. JAMES-TOWN, PRINCE-EDWARD, September, 15, 1809. MR. STANARD.
A remarkable case of an Ex-uterine fetus found in each ovary of a negro woman.
On the 11th inst. Mr. Seymour Wright, of Cumberland County, sent me a note informing me his negro Diana had just died.
Examining the contents of the pelvis. I found the uterus pushed forward towards the ossa-pubis, uncommonly small and hard.
The uncommon size and figure of these ovaria, induced me to examine them more minutely. I removed them from the pelvis, and obtained leave of Mr. Wright to carry them home.
After making every discovery in the right ovary, I then proceeded to the examination of the left; which was much larger than the right, resembling in figure a squirrel's head more than anything to which I can compare it.
How shall we account for the phenomenon? By supposing the male semen to be taken into the circulation of the blood; and some of the particles coming in contact with the ova of the ovaria.
P. S. The printers in Richmond will probably benefit society by giving this a place in their papers.

WILLIAMSBURG FEMALE ACADEMY.
MR. BLACKBURN, Professor of Mathematics, in the College of William & Mary, and Mr. Plunkett, teacher of Modern Languages, in the same College, inform the public, that they have united for the purpose of establishing an Academy in which young Ladies may receive an Education, calculated at once, to improve & enlarge the understanding, and to ensure the acquisition of those accomplishments, which are not only extremely agreeable in themselves, but which have become essential requisites in polished societies.
It is proposed that the parties shall attend to the duties of the School alternately, as best agreeing with their own views of a correct system of Female Education, and particularly as such an arrangement will prevent all interference with their respective engagements at College. Mr. Blackburn will, on one day, give lessons in Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Composition, Geography and History, according to the progress which each pupil may have made. Should any of these young ladies discover a taste and capacity for further scientific acquirements, he will undertake to conduct them through certain Mathematical, Astronomical and Philosophical branches, which, whilst they cannot fail to strengthen the mental powers, will be rendered so simple, as to make the study highly pleasing and instructive.
In his department, he will steadily pursue a well digested plan, which he has already submitted to the test of experiment; and it will, be his highest gratification, if he can evince, by the result in the present instance, that the female mind is as capable of improvement in real knowledge, as that of the other sex; a problem, the satisfactory solution of which, ought to be deemed highly important, but which has seldom been attempted on fair and liberal principles.
On the succeeding day, Mr. Plunkett will teach the French Language, Music, theoretically and practically, Dancing and Drawing. The experience which he has had, upon the assiduous and minute attention which he engages to bestow, must secure to his scholars, the acquisition of those accomplishments which give animation to society, as well as grace and dignity to those who possess them.
Parents may be informed of the terms, and have a prospectus of the School, by applying to A. Plunkett, in Williamsburg, or to G. Blackburn at the College. The Tuition commenced on the 15th instant. November, 1808.
From our knowledge of the qualifications and assiduity of the gentlemen, who propose to institute and to conduct the WILLIAMSBURG FEMALE ACADEMY, we do, with pleasure, declare our belief that it will afford to young ladies, an opportunity which may be relied upon, of receiving a well conducted, liberal and polite education, and do therefore recommend it to parents, as promising to merit their attention and encouragement. JAMES MADISON, President Wm. and Mary College, JOHN BRACKEN, Hum. Prof. SAMUEL GRIFFIN, T. C. PEACHY, SAMUEL TYLER, JOSEPH PRENTISS. November 18, 1808.
THE School announced in the above advertisement, has been since organized, but at too late a period to be productive of all the advantages which were anticipated; yet, though laboring under this inconvenience, it has indicated its public utility. Examination, in the departments conducted by Mr. Plunkett, and Mr. Blackburn, held in the presence of respectable and scientific judges, have obtained their decided approbation.
The knowledge of Grammar, Geography and History, acquired in so short a time, furnishes a flattering specimen of what may be expected from the School, if it be patronized by the public. I remain, a subject of extreme difficulty, when scientifically taught, the progress of the young ladies in theory & practice, gave a degree of satisfaction, unprecedented in Williamsburg. A weekly lecture will be regularly given, during the ensuing course, on such branches of philosophy as can be explained by a simple apparatus, and without reference to complex mathematical principles.
A gentleman is engaged for the purpose of teaching Writing and Arithmetic, by which means, Mr. Blackburn will be enabled to devote a greater portion of time, to the mental improvement of his pupils. The teachers purposely decline the common place stile of eulogy, from a conviction, that public patronage can be permanently secured only by the real improvement of their scholars. The local advantages of Williamsburg, as a place of Education, for young ladies, are sufficiently known. Mrs. Tyler Anderson, will continue to take boarders. Two public examinations will be held, in each course, viz. in February and in July. Tuition will commence October 15th, & end September 15th, following; but parents who wish to withdraw their children, will be at liberty to terminate the course July 15th. Williamsburg, Sept. 1.
MY motives will, I hope, justify my giving to the public eye, a few extracts from my various documents, which have long lain in gleecol, in my possession, owing to my not having found any object which I deemed worthy an appeal of this kind: I am aware of the apparent incredulity of sounding one's own praise, even through the medium of partial friendship; but I believe that my efforts here, have, in some degree, justified the prepossessions of my friends. As an individual, I have been habitually indifferent to any applause that has been bestowed by men of sentiment and sense, and I desire it only as a means of extending my sphere of utility.
In my official station, the merit of my mathematical lectures can be appreciated by few: As a teacher of the minor branches, I shall be more generally understood, and more frequently excite the grateful feelings of parents. I with the school, conducted by Mr. Plunkett and myself, to prove worthy of general attention, from a conviction that the diffusions of a liberal system of Female Education is of the utmost importance. GEORGE BLACKBURN.
Copy of a letter from Joseph Wilson, esq. the American Consul in Dublin. Permit me now to take the freedom of introducing to you, a gentleman whose worth, when known, will, I am persuaded, interest you in his favor.
Mr. George Blackburn wishes to settle in your country, and to procure an establishment as instructor in the Mathematics, and upper branches of science connected therewith. I have had some part of my family taught by him, and have never met with any person more eminently qualified to convey instruction, and to engage the attention and affection of his Pupils.
His leaving this city is regretted by many of its most respectable families, as his character has been as unimpeachable, and his manners as amiable, as his acquirements are extensive. I will not say more in his favor, though wishing to say every thing that his merits and my desire to serve him could dictate, being persuaded that by so good a judge of merit his talents will soon be discerned and appreciated, and that a man of worth and genius need only, to be known to procure him your attention and encouragement. Permit me to add, that any service rendered to him will be considered as a favor done to me. — I am, &c. Dublin, May 8th, 1800.
From the Honorable Col. Napier, the descendant of the illustrious Mathematician of that name. ARMY ACCOUNT OFFICE, DUBLIN, May 3, 1809.
Having always considered talents, combined with industry, and directed by principle, as constituting the true wealth of a state, I cannot but lament your persisting in your intention of abstracting from Ireland that share of each which I know you to possess. — At the same time I feel much satisfaction in adding my feeble suffrage to the very respectable testimonies you have already obtained, &c.
I should consider my approbation as incomplete, did it not include the strong sense I have of that decency and morality, which I have observed in your personal conduct and character. GEORGE NAPIER, Col. and Comptroller, Army Accounts.
From a character not more dignified by holding the first rank in European life, than by those amiable qualities of the heart, which win, and secure respect and esteem. Pupils often take a fancy to their teachers, but when I reflect on your success with our five sons, it proves to me past a doubt that you first made them respect and love learning.
That solid acquisition can never be lost to them; for it is interwoven with their affection for you: your advice made a deep impression on their minds, and I do not believe will be eradicated while they live, for quite exclusive of what they may have learned in science, their hearts & tastes accompanied the steps you took to improve their minds: the lessons of affection will remain I trust, even if those of science be neglected.
In proportion to their moral merits, my obligations to you will increase, and I hope you will not fail to preserve their good disposition, by your remembrance of them. Your letters directed to the Duke of Leinster, will be forwarded to my sons wherever they are. From the hon. Sackville Hamilton, secretary of the Treasury in Ireland. DEAR SIR,
I am very sorry I am not known to any gentleman in America, to whose attention I could recommend you. I would do it with very sincere pleasure from my knowledge of your very extensive acquirements in every branch of Mathematics. I regret very much that this country loses the advantage of your excellent talents, & sincerely wish you success in the object of your pursuit, in which I have the concurrence of both my sons. From Doctor Brown, senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, to a member of the American Senate. DEAR SIR,
The bearer of this letter, Mr. Blackburn, is a Mathematician strongly recommended to me by Mr. Sackville Hamilton, a gentleman who has been in important posts under government here; and by Lady Sarah Napier, sister to the Duke of Richmond; I am not personally acquainted with him, but they assure me that he is a man of good character, with the reputation, and, indeed from the education given to Mr. Hamilton's sons, the certainty of being a man of learning and abilities. He might find a good maintenance in this country, but has set his heart on going to America, &c. September 1. w4w
TO all whom it may concern — RICHARD SMYTH, a native of Ireland, departed this life on the 18th of June, 1809, without leaving in this State, or in the United States, any relation by consanguinity, and possessed of some Estate in Lands within this Commonwealth, of which, as well as of the United States he had been a Citizen. His intent was to give the whole to the subscriber, as his Nuncupative Will, if that Record, will sufficiently prove; but that kind cannot effect a conveyance of Lands, and therefore it may prove the intent of the Testator, and that the Lands part of the said Richard Smyth do of consequence, escheat to the Commonwealth, though contrary to his intent of bestowing them on a citizen thereof. For that reason, the subscriber will request the General Assembly, at its ensuing session, by petition, to carry the intent of the said Smyth into execution, by releasing the interest of the Commonwealth in the Lands whereof he was possessed, or entitled to within the same, to the subscriber. DAVID DOYLE. August 25. tf
