PROSPECTUS OF A PAPER
TO BE PRINTED IN ALEXANDRIA,
ENTITLED,
THE COLUMBIAN.
THE Subscriber, anxious to establish a Paper whose contents and principles shall be satisfactory to the moderate of both parties, presents to his friends and the liberal public in general, the following outlines of his plan, hoping that they may be consonant to feelings warm in the defence of liberty, and the true interests of the country.
The work will at all times be open to the discussion of political matters, destitute of rancor on the one hand, or of overweening partiality on the other. The Editor's selections shall be made with care and attention, never sacrificing for any purpose the real interest of the community, or wandering from the established standard of truth.
In the natural course of affairs, it will sometimes be necessary, from a want of political matter, that the columns of a paper should be supplied with moral disquisitions, practically useful and interesting, and instructive anecdotes from historic research. Nor can this course be well objected to by those whose feelings are alive to the cause of genuine morality and religion. The Editor calculates with confidence upon receiving from those whose education and means of information will authorize it, a copious supply of materials on these subjects. His paper will be at all times open to receive the reflections of the man of science, or the deep research of the critical scholar.
Communications upon all matters, touching Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, together with plans for the general improvement in Canals, public Roads, and the various discoveries in any branch of learning or the mechanic arts, will be particularly sought after, and punctually inserted.
The editor, earnestly desirous to conciliate parties, will use his most strenuous endeavors to effect so desirable an object—and in the town of Alexandria, where he is attached by the strongest ties of nature, and of interest, he will ever consider it as a primary object, to destroy those seeds of dissention which have had the tendency to retard the growth and prosperity of the town. It is obvious to the most superficial observer, that the minutia of politics cause a difference of sentiment, and not those general and universally admired maxims in governmental institutions.
The principles of the great and illustrious Washington, together with his services, shall ever be revered.
The editor is far from desiring to impose on the minds of those who may favor him with their patronage, that his mind has assumed no stand on the important subject of politics, no! on the contrary, he unequivocally declares, that his sentiments are decidedly republican.
As soon as 400 subscribers shall be obtained this paper will be printed, weekly, at 2 1/2 50 cents per ann. payable, half yearly, in advance, after the receipt of the first number.
It will be printed with a neat type, and on good paper of the ordinary size.
If adequate encouragement should be offered, after the commencement of the paper, it will be published three times a week.
Having made arrangements for the necessary materials, and contracted with a gentleman of abilities to assist in the execution of the work, the citizens of Alexandria will be immediately waited on for their patronage—Subscription papers will also be left at the Coffee House and at the principal Book Stores.

TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large;
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
At a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands—And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

French Partizans.
The force and fraud by which France has subverted the republican governments, as well as the thrones of the world, have not discouraged her partizans from attempting to extend her influence among us. Many half-dozen passions and unseemly but impelling principles, give force and too much success to their efforts. Some cannot divest themselves of attachment to the French nation, for causes which have arisen out of the common exertions of the revolutionary war. These persons are generally such whose personal pride has been excited by the events in which they had a share; or the flattering intercourse with French characters of distinction, which they may have enjoyed; or whose weak intellects have been warped by the splendid and captivating incidents, which have entranced their judgments and blinded them, in a manner to prevent their perceiving and giving full force to the great change in the views, policy and proceedings of the present French ruler, which have supervened. Another description of the blind adherents of France, is composed of those, whose heads, being warmed by the professions of the leaders of the French revolution, have so far plunged themselves into the vortex of its interests, and in consequence, acted such a part upon the public political stage of their own country, as to suffer false pride to prevent them from acknowledging their error and retracing their steps. But the most intolerable encouragement which French influence receives among us, because it is of still later and also of a foreign growth, at the same time that it gives a scope and activity to the other principles of the same tendency, which otherwise would wear out apace, is the leaven infused into the mass, by those who have conceived real or supposed causes of offence against Great Britain, as the enemy of France. I wish not to make any general reflections, including any class of foreigners, by a national characteristic; but the troubled affairs of the British empire have sent amongst us too many malcontents, who, not satisfied to enjoy equal privileges and advantages among us, and in silence to retain their disgust or give vent to it in their own circles, have made it the instrument of propagating dangerous doctrines against the welfare and repose of their adopted country.
From partizans thus produced, and thus supported, a cloud of prejudices in favor of France, has arisen, to overshadow us, and we have been brought to the verge of ruin—Co-operating with the head of our executive, whose manners and very fashion of language, have been conspicuously imitated, as far as he was capable, from the agreeable and polished standard of France, all the good fortune that Providence has vouchsafed to us, was necessary to preserve us so long from the evils of too nearly approaching her, and too far repelling her rival. By these agencies have we been incessantly driven towards a comet in the sublunary system, which unites with itself, and consumes every thing that falls within a certain distance of its attraction. A state of open warfare causelessly waged, a disregard of antient treaties, and the most pointed insults to our national independence, were not sufficient, when added to the existing stock of danger and other provocations, to reconcile the party now in power to the adoption of defensive and precautionary measures by their predecessors. Every salutary endeavor to negotiate away the asperities of the enemy, were counteracted and frustrated; and the public defensive armament was deemed as unnecessary, as intended for the ladder to a nefarious usurpation, or the access to a wanton, enervating and unnecessary coalition, for foreign objects, with Great Britain. Such were the force and frequency of these attacks upon the then administration, wise, prosperous and measured as were their plans, that their wisdom and good intentions did not save them from prostration before their enemies at home. France was again taken into favor, received every profuse token of reconciliation, touched the tribute of our millions, was offered more, was propitiated by a morose and unfeeling behaviour to her enemy; and what has been the consequence? Not reciprocal good will and acts of national friendship; but a profligate renunciation of treaty, a general seizure of our property, and an arrogant denial to us, of the essential privileges of independence, by declaring war for us.
Have the shameless endeavors of her agents ended at this point? By no means. They have countenance from too high a source to be discouraged. Though we are suffering the utmost pangs of a national wound from her, we are not to be redressed. Her sturdy partizans have never been wanting in upholding her in her wrongs. Of the letter of Champagney, which we published yesterday, Duane, one of the most favored printers of the administration, declared, "in this letter of Champagney, we see nothing but LIBERALITY & FRIENDSHIP." After the unsuccessful attempt to recall France to justice by an un-
propitious repetition of dispatches, advices were received on Monday last, that nothing could be done; that she adhered to her text of disposing of us, not according to our wishes, but her will; and that the property and persons of our citizens were consequently in imminent danger. The Whig of our city, published on the same day the following passage:
"Another London paper states, that to the application of general Armstrong, the following reply was made by the French minister: 'To the present situation of affairs, no terms of compromise could be listened to; that the American government was already in full possession of the unalterable determination of France, who would not permit a neutral state; [WHICH IS ALL VERY FAIR, AND PERFECTLY JUST—FOR WE are as much interested in the present question as France] that the French minister further observed, that unless the American ports should be closed against Great Britain, until a maritime peace could be obtained, France and America must be considered as war with each other."
Next day the same paper, after throwing out some doubts of the correctness of the London advices, thus expresses itself:
"But, taking the British rumors for truth, is there any thing that ought to alarm us? I say, no! Our most worthy and enlightened patriots have long foreseen the necessity of our soon espousing the side of justice in the present contest; then God forbid that Bonaparte should recede a hair's breadth from his present position. The injustice of England stifles every species of retaliation. Proud, indeed, ought we to be, if her continued aggressions, &c."
Can it be possible that all we have gained by a bloody, protracted and expensive war for our independence, is of so little value? All the patriots who achieved it, are not yet swept away by age. Let us not disgrace them by rejecting their boon before their eyes. Let us make, at least, some decent struggle, before we suffer the gift to be wrested at once from us and from them. It is, nevertheless, says the Whig, "very fair, and perfectly just," for France to dictate to us; as if we were the negro colony of St. Domingo. I beg their pardons—this comparison would degrade even them. Bonaparte, with his fleet and his 20 000 men was not permitted, in the year 1802, to rob them of their independence. His myriads perished, and his arms were broken in the conflict. Shall we, then, manifest a more reproachful tameness to his requisition?
But says the Whig, "God forbid, that Bonaparte should recede on hair's breadth from his present position!" Is this the language of a friend or an open enemy? Are these the dutiful addresses addressed to his country, by a citizen even by adoption? I know not that Mr. Irvine is a citizen; but until I read his language, I confess that his vehement interposition in our political discussions led me to presume he must be. For the credit of our country, I do not think either the propriety, or the prudence of this language, can be approved by many. Those who pant for a war with England, would not wish to seem to enter upon it by foreign compulsion.
Mr. Pechin asks the question, which are the plans in this city, that have been endeavored to promote the influence of the French? We think we have given him to-day an instance of such a plan, and pointed out the very columns, as he desires. Had we room and time to enlarge, we could give the Whig a companion or two; ornamented, it is true, with mere gloss & tinsel and changeable stuff, but we have preferred to exhibit a plain, blunt Hibernian, who scorns disguise or subterfuge.
From the Philadelphia Register.
THAT a system, in its consequences, destructive of the Commercial and Agricultural Prosperity of the United States, has been deliberately formed, and is steadily pursued, no impartial man, who has attentively contemplated the proceedings of the present administration, can either doubt or deny. There is not a measure of the government, in its foreign relations, which does not justify the belief—and there are many executive acts affecting our citizens, in their internal concerns, which establish it to conviction.
Was it possible, under any other than such a plan of policy to have imposed a permanent embargo? Or is it credible that an administration, notorious for its timidity, would have dared to invade not only the personal privileges of the citizen; but the sovereignty of the states, unless a determination had been taken, at every hazard, to carry this destructive measure into complete effect?
It may not be for us, at present, to assign all the motives of such conduct—but,
in common with every citizen, we possess the right, and it shall not be relinquished, to expose its errors, and to warn the country against its ruinous effects.
Every man who has noticed the defect of the national defences, during the present administration, is qualified to pronounce on the virtue and patriotism of our rulers—And every man, who carefully examines what they have substituted for our military resources, will make an accurate estimate of both their courage and capacity.
"To abandon the ocean," as Mr. Jefferson says we ought to do, may be no unpleasant idea for a man who has become qualmish on "the tempestuous sea of liberty," and who desires to enjoy the savages of eight year's salary, to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars in a "dignified retrenchment," far from care and danger—But such is not the situation of many much better men who, either as farmers, merchants, mechanics, or seamen, pursuing an honest industry, have no other means of maintaining numerous families, but the earnings of those professions, to which they have been regularly bred, and in the fair exercise of which they had every reason to expect the laws and arms of their country would have continued to them both encouragement and protection.
That a Chinese system of policy might suit the tobacco planter—and that Messrs Jefferson, Madison, & Co. would with pleasure assume the rank of Mandarins; while their commercial favorites were exclusively appointed Hong merchants, is very possible—but that the farmer, whose products must seek a foreign market—and that every other class of the community, now maintained by foreign commerce, would consent to sink into slaves of the soil, or coaches, and navigators of junks and river craft, cannot, even under the present general degradation of our country, be either admitted or believed.
That such a scheme of policy, however, is seriously contemplated, no man will dispute who peruses with attention the following article, extracted from the National Intelligencer of June 27, and which bears strong internal evidence of Mr. Jefferson's pen—it is of a nature to excite the alarm and indignation of every freeman, whose mind is not fashioned to the degrading and destructive change. And thanks to the Heaven-inspired sense of our rights, stained with the blood of patriots, far different from those heroes of the " Piper Javelin ," Messieurs Jefferson and Madison, our country is not prepared to receive the mandate of any individual as the rule of her conduct, nor his sophistical reasonings as the pledge of her prosperity, or the guarantee of her independence.
[From the National Intelligencer]
"The period is probably not distant, when we shall be enabled to form some judgment of the effect produced on the disposition of foreign governments by the embargo. It is manifest, from the intelligence received from England that hitherto it has been considered in that country as likely to be but of fugitive duration. Having themselves frequently resorted to a similar measure from motives to ally different from those which produced it in this country, they have superficially given it both as to its nature and duration a like character with their ordinary embargoes. They do not appear as yet to have realised the probability of its protraction to an equal period with their own orders. The rise of congress, with the passage of the enforcing supplementary acts, and the vesting in the president the power to remove it, will alone prevent its measure to their minds in its true colour. Congress rose on the 26th of April, and information of this event may be expected to have reached England about the 1st of June. Allowing a fortnight for deliberation, and six weeks for a passage across the ocean, we may calculate upon obtaining some interesting information about the beginning of August."
"With this information be such as we wish? Will it restore the amicable relation of the United States with foreign powers?"
"We confess that we are not sanguine on this point. We have hopes that it may be so; but our disappointment will not be excessive, if a different effect shall be produced."
"That the ultimate sense of the British nation, provided we do not shrink from the duties imposed upon us, will overturn the prevailing system, and will do us justice, we entertain no doubt; but it is absolutely impossible to decide when this will take place. Such is the extreme pressure of the enemies of Britain upon her, so singular and unprecedented is her situation, and so unavailing have all her previous arrangements been in producing the benefit
calculated from them, that we ought not to be surprised at the excitement of a spirit of desperate infatuation in that country a spirit resolved on trying a completely new plan, and on stretching vigor to its utmost extent. Who knows, says the advocate of this system, what may turn up? Despair may throw the die, but for one way crown it with victory. There is good reason to believe, from recent advices from England, that the orders are there rather popular. Experience only will remove this delusion."
"The West India planters, the enemies of American institutions, and the merchants generally, who are jealous of our commercial rivalry, are probably prepared to make great sacrifices before they will consent to abandon their forlorn hope, and to retrace the rash steps they have induced their government to take. And such is the vast opulence of the merchants of England, that there can be no doubt of their ability to make great sacrifices; there can be as little doubt of the insensibility of avarice and power to the consequent wide-spread calamities of the lower orders of society. Exclusively consulting their own interests, it will be only when the distresses of the lower classes shall materially injure them, that they will relax."
"Under this uncertainty with regard to the future, we are rejoiced to perceive our fellow citizens generally throughout the union, pursuing a course of conduct, which will equally promote their solid interests, whether our foreign relations become more troubled, or shall be restored to their usual tranquility. It is certain that if we are PERMANENTLY DEPRIVED of that commerce which can alone enable us to part with our surplus products in a foreign market, we must find a succedaneum in manufactures and internal improvements, and it is equally clear, that even in the return of an undisturbed trade, this progress in the cultivation of our internal resources would, notwithstanding, be of vast benefit."

NEW-YORK, July 4.
Latest from Europe.
The ship Coromplanter , Gibbs, on her passage from London for Philadelphia, ran on shore on Monday last near Montauk Point, Long Island, where she lay fifteen hours, but was got off by the assistance of several whale boats, and has proceeded to Philadelphia.
Eight of her passengers reached New York on Saturday afternoon; and one of them has favored the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with the London Courier of May 11th, from which the subjoined extracts are copied.
"We learn verbally from the passengers, that the Coromplanter left Gravesend on the 3rd May, Deal on the 13th, passed Sicily on the 18th, and saw a ship which was supposed to be the Osage from Falmouth for New York, so that she may be hourly expected. They understood that our affairs with Great Britain were not in the most favorable train of adjustment; and that the Coromplanter had despatches from Mr. Pinkney for the government. The British orders in council were still in operation, and not likely to be rescinded."
The Coromplanter has a cargo of dry goods, and the following passengers:—Messrs Richarder, Lawrence E. and J. Gibson, Savage, Morton, Compton, d'Alvada, captain Moores, Mrs. P. and two children. The first four gentlemen have proceeded in the vessel to Philadelphia. Left at London, ship Glory of Philadelphia. June 27th, spoke a ship from Philadelphia for Boston.
From the London Courier of May 11th.
LONDON, May 10.
The Renommee frigate has arrived with despatches from admiral Purvis, whom she left about a fortnight since. It is said that the news she brings confirms the report of the combined Toulon and Rochefort squadrons having got safely back to Toulon. The Spartan frigate, captain Brenton saw ten sail of the enemy's ships on the 8th ult. off Sardinia steering down the Mediterranean.
The expedition sailed from Yarmouth yesterday morning, with a fair wind for the northward. It was a grand spectacle. The naval force consists of 9 sail of the line, 5 frigates, 6 sloops, and 15 gun brigs, with upwards of 200 sail of transports with troops, 80 of which have horses on board. Several gun boats accompany the expedition; they are made upon a new construction; they draw only two feet water, and carry a long 18 pounder, and a caronade. It is conjectured that they are to cover the landing of the troops.

The conferences between Mr. Secretary ... and Mr. Pinckney have for the present terminated; and this day Mr. ... sets out on his return to America ... with the result. Much discussion is understood to have arisen upon the subject of the right of searching merchant ships; and it is scarcely necessary to observe, that the interests of Great Britain have not been compromised by a concession of ours on this important point.
On the 7th instant an American vessel arrived in Guernsey, which left Rochefort the night of the 30th ultimo, in consequence of a private but positive communication, that an order had been received at the custom-house, to embargo all American vessels at Charente and the other French ports, and which would be carried into effect the following morning.
Late last night a Portuguese officer arrived at South Audley street, with the long expected and joyful intelligence of the safe arrival of the Prince Regent of Portugal at Bahia, on the 25th January; and after remaining there about a month, had sailed for the Rio de Janeiro. His royal highness made several excursions into the surrounding country, and was present at a great hunting party at Cachoeira, about 15 leagues from Bahia. The concourse of people from the interior was incredible, and his royal highness, with his usual affability, gave audience to every one.
It appears that the Principe Real was separated in a gale of wind from the rest of the squadron, and it was not until the night of the 15th that she was joined by the Admiral of the fleet.
The remaining persons of the royal family, had arrived at the Rio de Janeiro, with the rest of the Portuguese and British men of war, a few of which had entered Pernambuco in distress.

May 11. Some details have just been received from Spain, which are highly interesting, and which strongly mark the national feelings.
At Madrid in the Plaza Maya, 4000 French troops were collected, with artillery mounted, and every other manifestation of hostile designs against the inhabitants. It is stated, that this force was successfully resisted by the populace, and that all ranks of persons united in publicly proclaiming their indignation at the conduct of these intruders. When Murat expostulated with the people, he observed, that his countrymen appeared not to injure, but to protect the Spanish people as friends; he was told that weapons of war were not necessary for the intercourse of friendship, and that the valor of the Spanish people was equal to their own protection.
In another place a large body of French troops are said to have been disarmed and deprived of their cannon; the people declaring that, if they came as friends they did not want cannon, and if as foes, it was proper for the Spaniards not to suffer them to have any.
A volunteer of Arragon is reported to have been affronted by three of the Ma melukes, two of whom he killed, and wounded the other, but was at length killed himself.
A man had been tried according to the short ceremonials of martial law, for a robbery, and had been found guilty. He was to undergo military execution; the regiment was drawn up which was to inflict the punishment, and before he reached the ranks he was rescued by the populace, who conducted him to the commander in chief, and loudly demanded his liberation and pardon. Murat thought fit to condescend to the wishes of the citizens, and the man was conveyed away amidst loud acclamations.
The arrival of the new King to Bayonne had produced an almost general dissatisfaction, which was loudly expressed in the different places through which he passed. It is said that in one of his proclamations issued on his journey, he declared that but for the best assurances his Royal person would be safe, he would not have acquiesced in the invitation to go to Bayonne; and that in the course of four or five days he shall, with the assistance of his good brother and ally, settle the affairs of Spain to the content and joy of his subjects.
This Proclamation, which shewed that Bonaparte was to interfere in the affairs of the country, did not by any means tend to quiet the people, and on the next day, 19th April, another was published, the people having assembled in crowds round the new King's residence at Vittoria. The Duke De l'Infantado addressed them, and at last persuaded them to retire; though not without expressions of much dissatisfaction. The new King, it is added, means to repre-
sent to Bonaparte the antipathy which the people have to the French troops and to press their immediate recall.
Meantime Catalonia has offered to raise and maintain 160,000 men, for the support of the new king, and Andalusia 50,000. The Castiles have not imitated the examples of these two provinces, and in Newcastille the public opinion does not seem favorable to the new monarch. It is feared that Spain will be convulsed by the partisans of the deposed king, and the new king, for every one sees that the abdication of the former was a measure of compulsion, not of choice. Indeed, it is reported that he has himself protested against it, and is gone to Bayonne, to interest Bonaparte in his favor. Bonaparte, the usurper himself of the crown, of one branch of the Bourbons, will thus have a legitimate sovereign belonging to another branch of the Bourbons, pleading against his son for having usurped his crown and dignity!
But it is impossible not to fear and feel that these disturbances may be detrimental rather than beneficial to Spain, and that Bonaparte may take advantage of them, to fix his yoke more firmly upon his neck.—That he will assist her in rendering herself independent of France it were absurd to suppose—that he will withdraw his troops because they are hated by the Spaniards, it were impossible to believe—Partial successes indeed the Spaniards may have had against insolated bodies of French troops: but irregular and undisciplined valor can effect but little against them, when their force is united and concentrated.—We wait with anxiety for the full development of Bonaparte's plans and intentions.

THURSDAY, JULY 7.
An Earthquake is said to have been felt in Boston and at Portland on Sunday morning the 26th ult. It is reported that at Portland the shock was considerably severe.
The latest accounts from Jamaica per the Jefferson, represent the island as not suffering greatly by the embargo: Flour was $24, and a considerable stock on hand, and an expectation of additional supplies from Quebec—The governor had assured the commissioners that a supply for the troops might be expected from England.

TREMENDOUS TORNADO.
NEWBURYPORT, June 28.
Last night we experienced one of the most violent hurricanes remembered by the oldest inhabitants. The afternoon was uncommonly warm, thermometer up to 95 in the shade, and the air confined; between 6 and 7 the clouds gathered thick, with excessive thunder and lightning, about 40 minutes past, 7 a violent wind set in from N accompanied with torrents of rain and for about 35 minutes the horizon exhibited a spectacle tremendously awful and undescibable: thunder, lightning, hail, rain and wind, carried all before it.
We have not been able to learn but a comparatively trifling part of the great damage that must have been sustained even in the neighborhood, as our paper was at press before it came on: many trees were blown down, glass broken, fences demolished, &c. We learn that capt. Sam. Coffin's still house was unroofed, a barn of Deacon Farham's blown down; the north part of this office was unroofed, the shipping at the wharves parted their fasts and were driven before the tempest, &c. We are sorry to state that several boats were out which we fear must have severely felt it.
P. S. Both Light houses were blown down five barns were blown down at Salisbury old town; the old Meeting house late Mr. Noble's at the plains; and almost totally demolished an orchard of 100 trees, over the river. (Salisbury.)
From City St. Domingo.
Captain Turner, from St. Domingo, furnishes a file of the "Bulletin Official" of that city to the 28th May. We find that General Ferrand had been taking measures to guard against the evils of a scarcity, in that colony, should our embargo be continued for any great length of time. By an Ordinance of the 21st May, he has directed a diminution of the consumption of bread, from flour, and put in activity measures to ensure an abundant harvest of the natural product of the colony. The price of flour had been fixed at 23 dollars per barrel, and bread at 16 ounces for a shilling. No more than 240 barrels of flour were to be delivered from the
public stores for the public service in the month of June; 210 in July; the quantity to be reduced monthly in the same proportion. To preserve the specie in the island, the general had directed bills to be drawn on the consul general of France in the United States, to meet the exigencies of government. (Boston Centinel.)
MONTREAL, June 20.
We understand that on Monday evening and Tuesday morning last, a fracas took place at the provincial line on lake Champlain. The circumstances which happened were on account of a large raft, which the American custom-house officers had embargoed, and meant to prevent going to the Quebec market; the citizens, however adjacent to the place where the raft was taken, embodied, and in defiance of the whole force which could be collected on the occasion, brought her to this side of the line. In this transaction considerable powder and balls are said to have been expended on both sides, but no bloodshed. A small cabin erected on the raft was perforated in 40 different places, by the balls of the militia from the custom house.
We learn by a gentleman from lake Ontario that a person there in the employ of the custom-house officer, was lately shot dead, when on the watch of those attempting to run property into the province—The coroner's inquest was accidental death .
To the Editor of the North American.
SIR, THE following HENDECASYLLABIC ODE, no more distinguished for the pure and graceful Latinity of its style, than the delicacy and beauty of the conceptions, was addressed to Mrs. WARREN, then Miss BRUNTON, by Francis Wrangham the supposed author of the Pursuivant of Life . It speaks more than verisimilitude in her praise; and will be read, I think, with fond regret by every admirer of that accomplished actress, who, alas! is now no more. C.
AD BRUNTONAM,
E GRANTA EXITURAM.
NOSTRI præsidium et decus theatri; O tu, Melpomene senioris Certe filia! quam decetæ formæ Donavit Cytherea; quam Minerva Duxit per dubiæ vias juventæ, Per plausus populi periculosos; — Nec lapsam—precor, O nec in futuram Lapsuram. Satis at Camæna dignis Quæ te commemoret modis? Acerbos Seu proferre MONIMÆ dolores, Frater cum vetitos (nefas!) ruebat In fratri thalamos, parumque casto Vexabat pede; sive JULIETÆ Luctantes odio paterno amores Maris: te sequuntur HORROR, Arrectusque comas PAYOR. Vicissim In fletum populus jubet ire, Et suspiria personant theatrum.
Mox divior enitescis, alitrix Altoris vigile et parens parentis. At non Græcia sola vindicavit Paternæ columen decusque vitæ Natam; restat item patri Britanno Et par EUPHRASIE puella, quamque Ad scenam pietas tulit paternam.
O BRUNTONA, cito exitura virgo, Et visu cito subrahenda nostro, Breves deliciæ, dolorque longus! Gressum siste parumper a; tequo Virtutesque tuas lyra sonandas Tradit Granta suis vicissim alumnis.
TRANSLATION.
MAID of unbouthful charms, whom white rob'd truth, Right onward guiding thro' the maze of youth, Forbade the Cierce, PRAISE to which thy soul, And dash'd to earth th' intoxicating bowl: Thee meek-eyed FITZ, eloquently fair, Clasp'd to her bosom with a mother's care; And as she lov'd thy kindred form to trace, The slow smile wander'd o'er her pallid face. For never yet did mortal voice impart Tones, more congenial to the sudden'd heart; Whether, to rouse the sympathetic glow, Thou pour'st lone MONIMIA's tale of woe; Or haply clothest with funereal vest The bridal loves that wept in JULIET's breast, O'er our chill limbs the thrilling Terrors creep, Th' entranced Passions their still vigils keep; While the deep sighs, responsive to the song, Sound through the silence of the trembling throng.
But purer raptures lighten'd from thy face, And spread o'er all thy form an holier grace; When from the daughter's breasts the father drew The life he gave, and mix'd the big tear's dew.
Nor was it thine th' heroic strain to roll, With mimic feelings, foreign from the soul;
Bright in thy parent's eye we mark'd the tear; Methought he said, "Though art no actress here! A semblance of thyself, the Grecian dame, And BRUNTON and EUPHRASIA still the same!" O soon to seek the city's busier scene, Pause thee awhile, though chaste-eyed maid serene, Till Granta's sons, from all her sacred bow'rs, With grateful hand shall weave Pierian flow'rs, To twine a fragrant chaplet round thy brow, Enchanting mistress of virtuous woe!

FOR SALE,
My SEAT in King George county. It lies on the head of one of the branches of Machodock creek, between four and five miles below King George court house, and on the main road leading from Fredericksburg to Mattox Bridge. The situation is healthy, affords fine water, embraces the great advantages of proximity to the court house of the county, church, mills, tobacco inspections, navigations, fish, fowl, oysters, &c. enjoys respectable neighbors and genteel society; and Rappahannock, thereby commanding the benefit of both these rivers, is particularly well suited to the business of any gentleman of profession. Wherefore it will be sold either with as much land as will afford a competent support of wood and water, with the improvements alone, or with between four and five hundred acres, as shall be most convenient to the purchaser; and possession can be had on the first day of January next. This land lies level, generally; possesses an abundance of materials for fencing, some timber for building and occasional repairs, a plentiful stock of fire wood, and is of the usual soil in this neighborhood that does not lie immediately on the margin of the broad water courses.
The improvements consist of a dwelling house of convenient size, perfectly new, built of the best materials, handsomely finished with a fine cellar to it, and a variety of other accommodations for a genteel family—a store house with a counting room to it, and a fine cellar to the whole of that building also—a barn, comprising stable and granary—a good house with other accommodations for an overseer, and customary houses of other descriptions—to which are annexed a well laid off productive garden handsomely paled in, a good yard, some valuable wheat and grass lots, and orchards of a variety of selected fruits of the most approved kinds; and all well enclosed.
Also, another Tract of Land, in Culpepper county, containing about two hundred acres mostly in wood, and unimproved.
In the event of the sales of the foregoing Lands, I will dispose of some valuable Negroes my Plantation utensils, some Household and Kitchen Furniture, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, &c. Among the latter are a number of good Saddle Horses that match well for a Carriage, some excellent Work Horses, and a thorough bred Stud Horse only seven years old in April last. He is an excellent Foal-getter, and from his size, blood, and figure, is justly entitled to be ranked among the first class of Horses in this country. The whole of this property, excepting my Negroes, which I shall dispose of in my neighborhood for their own accommodation, will be sold under a small reserve that will be required in money, or at short dates, at private bargain, either on easy payments in the purchasers own paper, if satisfactorily secured, for approved bonds well endorsed, property in Alexandria or its vicinity, or suitable merchandise.
The premises can be reviewed and terms made known by application to G. CMAXIN , esqr. cashier of the Bank of Alexandria, or to the subscriber residing in King George county.
