Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, or run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINE, BEER, &c. There is a vacant lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on, on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO, A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing some thing less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO, My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two wagons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO, The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

The Stages South of Alexandria.
ON the first of October next the Mail Stage will commence running as follows between Alexandria and Petersburg in Virginia:
Will leave Alexandria every day at 6 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Dumfries by 5 in the morning—Leave Dumfries at 6 and arrive at Fredericksburg by 11 1-2 in the morning—Leave Fredericksburg at 12 (noon) and arrive at Richmond the next morning by 6—Leave Richmond at 6 1-2 and arrive at Petersburg by 11 1-2 in the morning.
Returning, will leave Petersburg every day at 12 1-2 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria in the same time. This stage will carry no more than 2 passengers on any account whatever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage can be allowed to each passenger.
An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sunday, and will travel only in the day time. On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE, OF THE REGISTER.
LIVERPOOL, JULY 4, 1808.—Within the last ten days various reports have been in circulation relative to Spain, but none of them appeared (until this day) sufficiently authentic to authorize our communications on the sub- ject. However, our government have now received official dispatches from major-gene- ral Spencer, dated off Cadiz, 6th ult. In ad- dition to this, reports from various ports of Spain and Portugal, also state, that an en- gagement had lately taken place near Madrid, between the Spanish patriots and French ar- my, in which the latter was completely de- feated with the loss of 12,000 men. Should the Spanish patriots continue their operations as successfully as they have commenced, the commercial as well as political affairs of Eu- rope, will no doubt wear a very altered aspect in a few months; it has, however, as yet oc- casioned no material change in our market.
"COTTON." —The cottons by the Lee- ward Island fleet are now chiefly landed, in which we find the proportion of common West India descriptions very trifling; the cotton market generally seems now pretty steady, and as the longer continuance of the Ameri- can embargo is highly probable, we calculate upon an improvement, particularly in old and new Bowedes, as we cannot expect by our next arrivals from the Brazils, any sorts that can be with propriety substituted for them: we estimate the sales since the 25th ultimo at 6000 bags, principally consisting of those lately arrived by the fleet, which have gone off with spirit at 1-2d per lb. above our last quotations, but there has nothing of conse- quence been done in American cottons dur- ing the last week. New and prime upland may now be quoted as 21d a 22d; New-Or- leans 21d a 23 1-2d; Tennessee 18 a 20d; Sea Island 2s 2d a 2s 10d, stained/ditto 16d a 21d per lb.
"GRAIN, &c." —The prospect of a ve- ry abundant harvest in every quarter of this kingdom, has rather alarmed the holders of American Wheat, and many of them would now willingly accept of 13s. per 70 lbs. for what they hold; even at this, few if any buy- ers can be found; added to this, supplies have already actually arrived from Quebec, and we daily look for further considerable arrivals peculiarly should be the case, and our rela- tions with the United States continue in the present unsettled state, we think it probable, that higher than the following quotations may possibly be obtained; for New-York Wheat 12s 9d a 13s; Quebec; 12s a 12s 6d; Irish 11s 6d a 12s per 70 lbs.—RICE continues without variation.
"DYEWODS." —In Legwood we have no alteration to notice; the stocks of it are considerable, and we expect extensive sup- plies by the next fleets which must cause a depression in value. There has been a very brisk speculative demand for Fustic; Cuba is uncommonly scarce, and the holders now ask 25l a 28l, which they will obtain in a few weeks, or possibly higher.
"ASHES." —It is now pretty accurately as- certained that the supplies of Ashes from Quebec and Montreal will prove very exten- sive the ensuing season; the speculations therefore in the article have totally subsided, and a declension in prices have consequently taken place of from 5s. a 4s per cwt: say for 1st quality, Pots 90s and 92s, and for Pearls 75 to 80s per cwt—these prices are yet comparatively high, and would pay the shipper handsomely.
"NAVAL STORES." —Tar and turpen- tine have been in regular demand during last month; a public sale of the latter took place on the 29th ult; it went off briskly at 2s 4d and 4s per cwt, and the holders look forward with confidence to obtaining higher, which may possibly be realized, as the principal stocks of both these articles have got into a few hands; the dealers and consumers, how- ever, buy sparingly at these exorbitant pri- ces, and should there be a prospect of sup- plies soon coming forward, they cannot be calculated upon with any degree of certainty.
"TOBACCO." —By the arrival of the last American Packet we have received no intelli- gence on which to ground an opinion relative to the removal of the embargo; but we learn from Mr. Canning's recent speech in the house of commons, that the negotiations now pending between the two countries are entire- ly contingent upon those with France and the United States; and further, that no official communications have been received by this government since the arrival of Mr. Rose.— There has consequently been very extensive speculations in tobacco, as well as most other articles of American produce, and it has ex- perienced an enhancement of from 2 1-2 to 3d per lb. above our quotations of 3d of June, and few holders evince a disposition to make sales even at this advance.
"PREMIUMS" of insurance to the United States, per American ships, can now be read- ily effected at 3 to 4 guineas per cent; and to New Orleans, per do. 5 guineas per cent."
Printing in its various branches executed with accuracy and dispatch.

Selections from Gibraltar papers to the 2d July, continued. Supplement to the Valencia Diary, of the 6th of June, 1808.
Napoleon! the veil, which concealed your criminal peridy, has been removed; the mystery, in which was wrapped up your gigantic hypocrisy, has been laid open. It is now as clear as the day, that your hypo- critical and wretched ambition knows no bounds, and tramples upon all laws. This ambition is the spring of your never ceasing intrigues; that it is that prompts you to lie; you lie to deceive; deceive to command; command to plunder; plunder to reign; and reign to exterminate. Such has been your conduct in Rome, Naples, Germany, Russia, Italy, Etruria, Holland, Portugal, and Spain. Wait a moment, answer say: this time, at least, speak the truth against your natural propensity: if you should suc- ceed in plundering and subduing Spain; if you could reign over, either in person, or through some one who must be like you, if he meets with your approbation; if you should relieve the country people from the burdens which you so greatly exaggerate; if you should conquer; if, as you promised, you should drag from their native land, 20,000 Lions, who would be doomed to die whence their bodies would even be left un- buried—is it not true that you intend to em- ploy their strength and valor in annihilating the house of Austria, to which you design enemies similar to those of the house of Bourbon? Is it not true, that such as you drew from Austria, you intend to use as instruments to extend your tyrannic sway over the circles of Germany, taking away these very crowns that you gave? Do you not intend next to appoint yourself emperor of the west? and, after assisting the Rus- sian autocrat in completing the ruin of Prus- sia, of the Porte, and Persia, to allow him to style himself emperor of the east? This you offered him; but, carried away by your own depraved will, and mistaken im- puse, you will certainly bear no equal, and attempt to destroy him; a necessary conse- quence of an ambition without bound, but which will not go unpunished.
Say now; what do you mean to do in Spain?—your constant ally, and, for your enemy of England; who, by her treasures, her action and friendship, has paved the way for the victories of Marengo, Auster- litz, Jena, and Eylau; who is, at this mo- ment, shedding her blood in Sweden mere- ly to please you, and who has ever been ready to humor your whims and caprices; what recompence, what return, what ac- knowledgment is she to expect from your vaunted generosity? You have said, a thousand times, that you bear her an unli- mited good will; that you are her faithful ally; that you will, in the end, reward her services; that she is fully entitled to your powerful protection: Happy Spain, with such and so great a protector! a protector sent from Heaven to promote her prosper- ity: in order to make her happy, you have sent your troops into her provinces; and the whole of her royal family, and many of her grandees, you have drawn to Bayonne, for the purpose of teaching them the laws of the French code, to read them certain necessary lectures on the art of reigning. Is not this true?—Napoleon! either draw the curtain of the stage on which you are acting, or your Comedy will end in a Tragedy. You have taken into your head, that all the Spaniards are either as easy to be deceived as Charles and Ferdinand, or as ready as the Prince of Peace to be ac- complices in your treacherous plots against their country. You fancy that Spain is struck with awe at the sight of the phantom of your imaginary power, and terrified at hearing the sacrilegious rhodomontades of your fawning partisans; and you trust, that believing, like Charles, Ferdinand, and the other members of the royal family whom you have called and enticed to Bayonne, in the reality of the specious happiness which you hold out, she will refer to you the ap- pointment of the man who is to reign over her, or, like Italy, will entreat you to be her king. This is the course which their princes have pursued, taking you for their umpire, to settle, in an amicable manner, differences which you yourself had stirred up, and the criminality of which (a crimi- nality which does not exist) you could, by virtue of no law, either try or punish. All this you believe; but you are deceived. It is true that Spain, thanks to your friendship, has dwindled into a skeleton; it is true that an inconsiderable number of the wretched followers of that traitor, whose iniquity could only be patronized by yours, may perhaps think with their leader; and it is also true, that, up to this moment, a great many Spa- niards believed Napoleon to be an honest
man, open-hearted, and a true friend. But hear, hear what the whole nation is, at sent, aware of; what she knows, believes, and expects from you. There is but one opinion: hear!
Spain is aware, that every word you utter is a falsehood: that you deceive whom- ever you deal with; that your thirst of blood is unquenchable; and that you are the wicked king who sent over the miserable locusts which are the types of the hero whom St John saw, and who "hath his name Apollo," which means Exterminator . Spain is aware, that you are, in the hands of God, a scourge brought from hell for the pun- ishment of this world; that you want Spain to drink out of the cup of bitterness which you have forced upon the nations which you boast you have rendered free and happy; and that whatever you think, say, or do, is consonant with your low birth, want of re- ligious principles, and criminal conduct. Now, hear what she knows;
Spain knows, that, although you have cloaked your intentions under the false pro- tences, you have sent your soldiers to sub- due, sack, and plunder her. She knows that whatever your emissaries wanted to say, tended to persuade her to love you, and hate the Bourbons. She knows that the letters, resignation and protest of Charles, as well as of Ferdinand, have been extracted from them, and drawn up by you for the purpose of imposing upon the world; that even if legitimate they would be null and void, because involuntary; that your de- crees are invalid; and that all these instru- ments are dictated by your ambition or vi- olence. She knows, that while you relieve the husbandman from the duties he paid to his lord, as you had promised him, you ex- act in lieu of them, one third of whatever he reaps. She knows, that there are fathers in France who have not one son out of seven, and widows who will never cast an eye upon any of the five with whom they were blessed. She knows that if you reign over Spain, fa- thers will, perhaps, never see in their life- times, each of their sons as are from 16 to 40 years old; nor need we say, perhaps, as they are not to see them while the war lasts and this will last as long as you live. And lastly she knows, that the religion which she professes, will be suppressed in Spain, as in every other country you have organized; that its ministers will be removed; its tem- ples profaned and razed to the ground; its monuments and rents plundered; its im- ages destroyed; its property seized upon; and in short, that you will take the whole for yourself. This she knows; see what she believes:
Spain believes, that you are the enemy of all Europe; that, wherever you have set foot, you have ruined both commerce, agri- culture, arts, and religion; that, if you ac- cend the throne, you will send to foreign countries 300,000 Spaniards, and all her riches, leaving her but her eyes to weep the same miseries, calamities, and distress, which other powers lament, though you so loudly assert them to be happy. She be- lieves that you have raised the difference subsisting between Charles and Ferdinand availing yourself of the want of knowledge of the former, of the goodness of the latter, and of the treacherous dispositions of the Prince of Peace, who was to present her with Madrid, Toledo, Seville, and the other towns of Spain, as if they had been his own property. She believes, that you have drawn the whole house of Bourbon to Bay- onne, to make away with all its members. In short, she believes that Anti-Christ alone, whose precursor you are, can exceed you in wickedness and peridy. This she believes; see now what she hopes for:
From you, Spain expects nothing, for you have nothing to give her. But she hopes, that her sons united will baffle your inter- nal attempts and military talents; that they will rather lose their lives for the defence of their country, of their religion, and of what they possess in their native land, than to leave the latter, to be conducted by you to regions where, when dead, their bodies will be left unburied. She hopes never to be governed by one of such low extraction as yours; she hopes to conquer that monster of iniquity, NAPOLEON, and to rescue the enslaved and plundered powers of Europe: in short, she hopes for your disastrous end, which cannot be any other than that of Ne- buchadnezzar, Sapor, and those who lis- tened, with satisfaction and pride, to the epithets of all powerful and irresistible, which your foolish, vile, and impious flatter- ers lavish upon you. She relies upon the power of her God, who brought to light and defeated your infamous views on the 19th of March, much more than upon her own strength. She hopes that his Divine Majesty will give you neither leave nor power to destroy, although he may suffer you to annoy, for a few months, those who have received the mark of God, namely, the Spaniards who profess the Christian

religion. She hopes, that, armed with the sign of the cross, which will be their chief device, her sons will be the instrument, anointed by God and his saints, which he is to use for the christian conquest of the whole world. And lastly, she hopes to strip you of whatever GOD, the church, and Europe, have been robbed of by you; she hopes to punish you as you deserve, to rid the world of a tyrannical usurper, of a persecuting heretic, of a son of sin, of a per-juror in short, of the enemy of God, of the church, and of all mankind. Now, there remains only to know what you expect from Spain. Do you expect that she will proclaim you king? She will not, because she witnesses the evils which such a step has bro't upon Italy. Do you expect, that she will apply for your brother Joseph? Neither will she do it, because she does not chose to submit to the melancholy fate of Naples; and besides, she can love no other than Ferdinand, to whom she has sworn allegiance as the successor of Charles. Do you hope to find many friends in Spain? Do not believe it, for she knows how shamefully you have treated Moreau, Pichegru, Villeneuve who had served you most faithfully, and contributed, above all others, to your preferment, or usurpation of the throne. Do you flatter yourself, that Spain will confess that she has been conquered, and that this conquest cost you but 25 men, while she lost 3,000 Spaniards? Do not expect it; be sure, that Spain will tell nothing but the truth.
Spain says, that the castles of which you boast in your newspapers that you have made yourself master, were delivered up to you by order of your friend, the prince of peace; that the same has taken place with respect to the towns; and that in the only rial to which the lower classes of the inhabitants of Madrid put the bravery of your troops, they with no other arms than knives, dispatched 5,000 soldiers, their own loss scarcely amounting to 200 men. This is the truth, which has never reached your editors.—Do you in short hope really to achieve the conquest of Spain? Well, know that if you do, you may lose a great deal, but never will gain a single heart. But what is conquest? Hope not; no, do not hope to conquer her; rather expect the punishment due to the most scandalous wickedness that the world has ever witnessed.—Expect those misfortunes to befall you denounced to England for her conduct in Denmark; nay, expect worse than that, for you have been guilty of a far more heinous crime. Expect to be abandoned and opposed by your own troops; expect to be attacked by the nations which abhor you, (and this description includes them all) when they see you so unjustly and obstinately bent against Spain. Expect that the lion mentioned in Esdras, that prince who is to be twice a king in the opinion of St. Isidorus; that stout lion of the celebrated Rocacelda, who is, after his death, to return to life again, and is Spain herself, will conquer you, put an end to your empire, and extend her own, by means of her crusaders, to the fatherest extremities of the earth. Fear, then, Napoleon, for it will soon be all over with you; fear Spain, but not so much her valor as your enormities. Fear the God who protects her, and in whom she trusts. There is no doubt but he, who with a handful of Hebrews, routed an army of Philistines, so numerous that it was compared to the sand of the sea: He, who in the same manner destroyed that of Xerxes, consisting of five millions foot and one hundred thousand horse, will send, as he used to do, Angels who shall fight in the ranks of the Spaniards, especially in a war like this, in which the honor of his religion is concerned: and that no vestige will remain of your wretched army, which marches through compulsion, and is a prey to want.
NEW-YORK, August 27.
By the brig Neptune, Garland, 23 days from Port Spain, Trinidad, we have received the Trinidad Courant of the 30th July, from which the following article is copied:
TRINIDAD, July 30.
By a lanche which arrived yesterday evening from New Barcelona we learn, that a French national brig (no doubt one of the expresses mentioned in Lord Collingwood's dispatches) had arrived at La Guira with a number of officers on board, civil and military, bearing orders from Bonaparte, sanctioned by the king his prisoner, to supercede the present administration of government, and establish the reign of the new dynasty in that province. The dispatches had been forwarded to Carracas, but the chiefs of that province, men of sound judgment and approved fidelity having been previously put in possession of the Bando of the Supreme Junta of Seville, dated 28th of May (which had been forwarded by this government), weighing well in the scale of pru-
dence the danger of precipitation, in a matter of so much importance to the state had called a general assembly of the heads of department, to deliberate on the steps to be taken in so difficult an emergency. The council had accordingly assembled and were sitting when the Acasta's dispatches arrived, to confirm their opinion in the resistance which, it seems it was their determination to oppose to the attempts of the usurper.—They were read with acclamation by the Junta, the cries of Viva el Rei, vivo nuestro Catolico Monarco, Fernando Septimo, y su magnanime aliado el Rey de la Gran Bretana, resounded in the Casa Capitular, and where soon re-echoed by the whole city—and the imperious officers of his imperial majesty, were committed to durance vile, in the Cazamettes of La Guira, and his imperial brig made a prize of, and sent to Porto Cavelio.
The colours of the two nations were soon displayed on the forts at La Guira, under a general discharge of all the heavy artillery. The Acasta, at anchor in the road, repeated the signals and tokens of alliance and festivity, and the officers who landed were received and treated with the greatest marks of respect and attention—huzza! huzza! huzza!
PHILADELPHIA, August 25.
Yesterday arrived, British ship Louisa, Church, from Londonderry. Left there June 28th. ship Elizabeth, of New-York, a few days arrived; and British ship Truro, for Philadelphia with passengers, had fallen down the river and expected to sail soon.

Alexandria Daily Gazette.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 30.
We have had the pleasure of seeing a letter from Fayetteville, North Carolina, under date of the 19th, which affords us no little pleasure. At that date the writer had heard of the election of THREE federalists to congress, and many to the state legislature.
In the Fayetteville district, so rapidly has the cause of federalism progressed, that no democratic candidate offered. It is at present represented by Mr. Culpepper; but Mr. McBride, a decided federalist, and a man of respectable talents, is chosen to succeed him. In Fayetteville electoral district, John Winslow, esq. is a candidate for elector of president and vice-president. There is no doubt of Mr. Winslow's success, and as little that he will vote for the hero and the sage, general Pinckney as president. There will certainly be four other electors of the Washington school from North Carolina. (Wash. Fed.)
The British parliament have voted thirty six thousand pounds to general Martin, for losses sustained by him in Virginia, as the representative of Lord Fairfax.
ported this measure had not yet been established at Algeciras. The Mercury was one of detained vessels; having been seized many months since by the French.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman at Gibraltar to his correspondent in New York dated July 5.
"We have now received official accounts of the complete success of the Spaniards in several severe engagements fought at Saragossa and Valladolid all of which have redounded to the honor of the Spanish arms. I am uninformed of the loss on either side, but it said to be great. Two French generals arrived here this day, taken prisoners in Algiers, Portugal, and brought here by the Portuguese. They will be sent immediately to England. All Portugal is in arms determined to resist the encroachments of the French.
"The ship Rising Sun, Parsons, will sail from Cadiz for the United States in 10 or 12 days."
NEWS FROM SPAIN.
On Sunday the 21 inst. arrived at Boston the brig Mercury, capt. Bradford from Alicante and Gibraltar. She sailed from the former place on the 29th of June—only 9 days subsequent to our accounts from Cadiz; and the cities are at a considerable distance from each other. She left Gibraltar on the 4th of July, where she remained but a short time, on account of apprehensions that it was possible she might be detained, as she was without her regular papers, and the first vessel from a Spanish port with a cargo that had put in there since the orders of council.
By captain Bradford's information, it appears, that the hatred of the Spaniards for the French, has never been exceeded even among nations that were natural enemies. The French consul at Malaga, and several merchants were said to have been put to death. At Alicante, every person born in France was imprisoned. Some who were confined had resided 30 or 40 years in Spain. The patriots had heard that Napoleon had appointed them a King in his brother Joseph.
All classes of Spaniards were enthusiastic in their determination to resist the French. The instances of suspicion that persons were in the Gallic interest, were rare. At Valencia one person had been beheaded. At Malaga, a few persons had been arrested, but, upon examination, there appeared no reason to doubt their patriotism, and they were liberated. The person at the head of the province of Valencia, was a gentleman of great distinction and property: and several persons at Alicante denominated noblemen, had volunteered in the ranks to serve against their treacherous enemy—one of these persons was the gentleman who owned the American Consul's house.
Most of the Frenchmen at Alicante, who were arrested on account of the indignation against the ruler of the country which gave them birth, were loud and decisive against the conduct of Napoleon towards his faithful ally.
At the commencement of the revolution, Valencia established a local Junta; which has since declared that it will receive and execute the commands of the Junta of Seville.
In proportion to the enmity of the Spaniards towards the French, was their attachment to the British.—When a British government brig arrived at Valencia with supplies, the populace carried her commander on their shoulders to the town house, where the council was convened.
The islands of Majorca and Minorca had sent the patriots reinforcements, and arms and ammunition.
The Carthagena squadron remained at Minorca. None of the French fleets were known to be at sea.
The account of the defeat of the French army, under general Dupont, in its way from Madrid to Seville, is confirmed. It is said 5000 Frenchmen were killed.
The news of the capture of the French fleet at Cadiz by the Spanish patriots, is confirmed, and it was asserted, there were found on board of them a large amount of money, and great quantities of muskets, cartridges, balls, powder, &c.
It was said there were at Madrid, and in its neighborhood, about 50,000, French troops under the duke of Berg. Several skirmishes had taken place. In Catalonia there were said to be about 25,000. Desertions were very frequent; and to prevent this at Barcelona, about 1000 selected troops had been stationed round the city. These the revolutionists contrived to surprise, and they were all cut to pieces.
We cannot learn that any fresh troops from France had entered Spain in June.
All American vessels, which had been detained at Alicante and Malaga had been released by the Spaniards; but it was re-
A formidable insurrection was reported to have broken out at Naples.
Two Algerine cruizers had put into Alicante. A good understanding exists with the United States. The war continues between Algiers and Tunis.
At Gibraltar, captain B. learnt, that the Portuguese had conquered the French in their country; and that at the last accounts from Lisbon, they were firing upon the Russian squadron to compel it to surrender. It is very probable many of the French had taken refuge on board these ships.
British troops had been sent into St. Lucar. There were many Spanish vessels at Gibraltar.
A Valencia paper of the 21st June, states, under the head of Madrid, June 15, "that the Russian minister had left Madrid; that the emperor Alexander was displeased with the conduct of Napoleon, who had violated one of the articles of the Tilsit treaty—that the archduke Charles was to marry a Russian princess, and a war between France, Russia and Austria was expected.
A Valencia paper of June 21, mentions the defeat of the French under Dupont. (Bos. Pal.)
We shall derive some benefits from the Embargo. It will convince our Farmers, of what the Democrats strove to deny, that commerce is beneficial to Agriculture, as well as Agriculture is to Commerce; that Seaports, as commercial Depots, are deserving of protection; that Merchants, as a medium between the Farmer and the foreign consumer of our produce, are a useful class of citizens, and are entitled to influence and respect equally with any of the other classes; that if we wish to flourish, we must as much strive to be able to control events on the ocean, as on the land; that treaties which secure or extend our commerce, without entangling us, are national benefits; that as unreasonable jealousy and prejudice, or partiality, may endanger our peace, they ought to be discarded in the management of our foreign relations.

DR. ROBERTSON'S CELEBRATED STOMACHIC ELIXIR OF HEALTH, WHICH has proved by experience, to be the most valuable medicine ever yet offered to the public for curing the Gout, Cramp, and wind in the stomach; also a certain cure for the Dysentery, or Bloody Flux, Cholera Morbus, severe gripings, and all other diseases of the bowels, a dose never fails to remove a cold if taken soon after its first appearance. It is also celebrated for carrying off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach, severe head ache, &c. &c.
The following certificates are selected from the many respectable ones lately received by the proprietor, and are now in his possession.
CERTIFICATE. Of Mr. William Julion, carpenter and builder, No. 60, south Fifth street, Philadelphia. Sir—My wishes to promote the interest of superior merit, and to afford consolation to the afflicted induces me to request you will lay my case before the public, as an incontestible proof of the astonishing efficacy of Dr. Robertson's invaluable Stomachic Elixir of Health.
I do hereby certify that I was seized most violently with the dysentery, or bloody flux, which reduced me so much that I was confined to my bed, and became so weak that I could not move without assistance. My situation at that time became so seriously alarming, as no relief could be obtained, I was given over, and even death would have been desirable to me, had not a friend of mine, who by chance called to see me, who had just recovered from a similar complaint, though not so severe as mine. He informed me that he was cured by taking Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health, and advised me to send to you for a bottle. I immediately did so, and by following your instructions given with the bottle, I found myself much relieved, and my disorder greatly abated, and by continuing to take it, in one week I was able to walk out, and in less than a fortnight was able to attend to my business.
I therefore recommend every family to be provided with this invaluable medicine, particularly those who live at a distance in the country where assistance cannot be immediately obtained. As I am convinced that Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health, is the most effectual remedy in the world, I have since recommended it to several who have always been relieved immediately after taking it. Should any person wish to be more fully convinced of my case, I will with pleasure explain it to them by applying to me.
I am, with a due sense of the benefit I have received, through the efficacy of your medicine,
Sir, your humble servant, WM. JULION.
Mr. Dyott. Philadelphia, July 15th, 1807.
CERTIFICATE. Of Mr. John T. Solomon, Sixth near Race street, Philadelphia.
Sir—For the good of the public and benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you, that having labored for upwards of six months, under a very bad cough, attended with difficulty of breathing, pains in my breast and side, and a sickness at my stomach; having lost all appetite, I became so very much reduced in my strength as to be unable to walk. I was considered in a consumption, and given up for a lost man. In this hopeless situation I had recourse to Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health, and to my great astonishment before I had taken one bottle, found myself very much relieved. I expectorated a great quantity of phlegm, which has eased me of one of the most violent coughs that ever a man had; I have taken it regularly ever since, and now find myself completely recovered, and shall certainly, for the benefit received, recommend it as far as I can, believing it to be a most efficacious medicine in the above complaint.
I am, Sir, With real respect, Your obliged humble servant, JOHN T. SOLOMON.
Mr. T. Dyott. August 22.
CERTIFICATE. Of Mr. Peter Denham, No. 278, south Second street, Philadelphia.
DEAR SIR, It is with the utmost satisfaction I inform you of the cure effected by your true, invaluable Stomachic Elixir of Health, as the whole of my family, including myself being six in number, were violently affected with the influenza, attended with very bad coughs, pains in the limbs, and difficulty of breathing, which continued to increase. I applied to a physician, but his medicines had no effect. Just at that time, having heard of the cures made by Dr. Robertson's Stomachic Elixir of Health I determined to try a bottle of it; I did, and its effects exceeded my expectations. The first two or three doses caused me to expectorate a vast quantity of tough viscid phlegm, and so speedily removed every symptom of the cold, that by the time we had taken three
bottles we were all perfectly cured, excepting weakness that remained, for which I have administered Dr. Robertson's Patent Wine Bitters, and I have found them wonderfully efficacious in strengthening the system, and destroying of worms, as two of my children have voided a vast quantity by taking them, and are now growing strong and healthy. I have since recommended the above medicines to a number of my friends, who have been immediately relieved by taking them.
It is my desire that you publish this case of my family for the benefit of the public, and those who may be afflicted. Any person desirous of further information, may have every satisfaction, by applying either by letter or personally to me.
I am, Sir, Your obliged humble servant, PETER DENHAM.

To Religious Denominations in general, but to the METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH in particular.
PROSPECTUS OF A WEEKLY PUBLICATION, TO BE ENTITLED THE RELIGIOUS REPOSITORY. BY W. A. RIND, Georgetown, Dist. of Columbia.
THE Editor begs leave to offer this Work to the attention and patronage of the Methodist Society in particular, not only because it is thought proper to give it a decided character, but because the Connexion at present have no religious vehicle of the kind, nor have they had since the discontinuance of their Magazine, which was published some years ago.
Both the Presbyterians and Episcopalians have under their patronage monthly publications devoted to the same subjects proposed to be embraced by this work.
The Editor, however, flatters himself that this publication will possess some advantages over those that are only issued monthly, in furnishing earlier religious intelligence, and he hopes it will afford greater satisfaction to Readers in general, as in such works the same subjects and accounts are continued in a series of numbers.
But since this work is to be devoted to the interest of religion, both in its doctrine and experience, and will likewise include the subject of morality, we think it entitled to the greater attention; and we wish it to be distinctly understood, that as it has for its object the diffusion of religious information, the subject of Politics will not be introduced.
In the scripture sense of the term, RELIGION embraces not only what we are to believe, but more especially what we must experience of its great truths in our hearts—MORALITY implies not only that men should do no harm, but that they should be actively and zealously engaged in acts of benevolence and works of righteousness. It would then appear that Religion consists in what we believe and experience, and Morality in that Faith and Experience reduced into practice. True Religion and Morality go hand in hand, and mutually support each other: Where there is not Morality, there cannot be Religion, and we are disposed to think likewise that there cannot be genuine Morality without Religion. Instead then of drawing our ideas of Morality from principles founded on natural right, let us look to a higher source—to RELIGION—and to that Religion taught by our Lord Jesus Christ. RELIGION alone has power to persuade with conviction, because it excites passion while it informs the understanding—because it alone has the means of rendering obvious what it recommends—because it speaks in the Name of GOD, and it is easy to inspire respect for him whose power is every where evident to the eyes of children and men of mature understanding.
It will be expected that the religious part of the Community in particular will patronize a publication of this kind. It claims the attention and support of religious denominations of all descriptions, not only as subscribers, but as contributors of Essays and Communications on the subjects it proposes to embrace. Almost every political publication has met with generous patronage—and to such, religious characters have not failed to contribute their part. But while they have thus aided in diffusing political information, they will not surely reflect on their profession, by withholding from this their influence and support.
But we think this work forcibly recommends itself to the attention of the enlightened Politician. That man does not deserve the name of Politician, who is unconscious of the influence of Religion and Morality upon the good government and happiness of society. Weak, indeed, are the restraints of human laws, and honor, unaided by the obligations and precepts of Religion, upon the ambition and avarice of wicked men. Without the influence of Religion, these passions may be expected to triumph over the law and every principle of justice.
The "Religious Repository" will be a collection of original and well selected pieces on Religion and Morality, and will serve likewise to record the revivals of Religion, particularly at Camp-Meetings, and also to preserve a short account of the Lives, Sayings, and Deaths, of eminently pious Characters—and thus shall we "gather up the fragments, and nothing will be lost."
In addition it will contain select and original pieces of Natural History, together with instructive and pleasing Anecdotes.
The Editor has already engaged the assistance of his religious friends, as well of the Ministry as others; and he particularly requests the Travelling and Local Preachers of the Connexion to forward to him, from time to time, such Communications as may be embraced within the general objects of the work.
